Section 15 Lejin Formation Breaking Crossbow [I]

This time, the war initiated by Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, which ended up failing with superior forces, must be held accountable for the defeat. The dignified sister-in-law of the Yuan family, of course, would not lose to a group of lowly moths in such a humiliating way. Therefore, the Chunyu clan, who was directly defeated in the battle, must shoulder the responsibility for defeat.

Even if it's an out-and-out black pot.

Of course, as one of the famous heroes in Yanzhou, a defeat was not enough to make the Chunyu clan die. Moreover, Yuan Shu is still young after all, and he is not the head of the Yuan clan, so he can't dispose of the Chunyu clan as he wants. Chun Yuqiong, who was in the Jizhou crusade army and confronted the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, belonged to many important ministers in the court. Even if it is just for the sake of Chun Yuqiong's face, the Linyi Chunyu branch will not be punished.

The final result of this matter was not favorable to Yuan Shu. Because of the black cauldron on his back in this battle, Yingchuan Chunyu, who had maintained an impartial posture between the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, finally made a choice and completely threw himself into Yuan Shao. This made Yuan Shu's image in the eyes of the world's heroes a little worse.

In the following days, in order to avoid Yuan Shu's blow to the family, the most outstanding son of the Yingchuan Chunyu clan - Chun Yuqiong. has been closely following Yuan Shao's side, and eventually became one of the most important generals under Yuan Shao's account.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

The current situation is that when Yuan Shu, who served as the chief general of the first army, took the initiative to retreat under the unfavorable situation, the remaining seven heroes, large and small, had no backbone, and directly four began to flee, and only three were still resisting. Among them, the private soldiers of the Huang clan, who had the strongest resistance, had to face the siege of the Tianping army and the Chunyu family soldiers at the same time.

Under such circumstances, anyone knows that the outcome of this battle is decided. What can be changed is only the size of the results of the Tianping Army.

It's just that the current battle situation still makes Zhang arrogant unbearable. The key to this battle is to achieve a quick victory. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhang Dong is eager to take out all the enemies in front of him in a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that there were still hundreds of soldiers belonging to Haoqiang, who were resisting the attack of the Tianping Army, Zhang Mad looked at Le Jin beside him and asked:

"Wen Qian, do you have itchy hands?"

The cavalry team under Le Jin, due to the continuous long march, the hooves of the war horses were seriously worn, and the number of war horses that could be used was only forty or fifty. Under such circumstances, the cavalry had not played for a long time. Therefore, in the Dong'a raid a few days ago, Le Jin had to play a supporting role, which made Zang Ba show his face.

This situation is naturally extremely depressing for Lejin, who is bent on seeking results. Now, as soon as Zhang Qiang opened his mouth, Le Jin naturally jumped out bravely and shouted loudly:

"Of course! The Lord will sit for a while, and I will come when I go! ”

Of course, it is impossible for Lejin to bring dozens of cavalry under his command now and charge directly against the enemy army. In fact, for cavalrymen who were not equipped with bilateral stirrups, launching a cavalry charge was an extremely costly thing. Even the most skilled warriors could fall off a galloping horse and die if they were not careful.

In the fierce cavalry battle that started not long ago with the Yanzhou Prefecture Division, three or four percent of the cavalry lost by Le Jin's men did not sit firmly on the horses galloping at high speed, and as a result, they did not need to fight the enemy, and they fell off their horses. What Lejin has to do now is to dismount and then lead his cavalry infantry to charge into battle.

With a ring-headed knife in one hand and a small shield in the other, Le Jin came to the Huang private soldiers who insisted on resisting. I have to say that the private soldiers of the Huang clan have been able to resist until now, and their will to fight can be regarded as quite tenacious. According to the evaluation given by Zhang Qiang, the leader of this team should be regarded as a figure who knows the soldiers and can train the soldiers.

Before the Huang private soldiers left the main road twenty paces and laid a defensive circle, there were sixty or seventy corpses lying horizontally and vertically, as well as the wounded who were about to turn into corpses. Among them, there are about a dozen of them with yellow cloth wrapped around their heads. Most of the rest are soldiers belonging to the Chunyu clan.

In the hands of the Huang family's private soldiers, they held nearly 100 bows and crossbows. These powerful bows and crossbows are the key reason why they have been able to hold on until now. Of course, at this moment when the private soldiers of the rest of the families had retreated one after another, the leader of the Huang family's private soldiers was obviously in a dilemma.

- No matter what they do, in front of the Yellow Turban Army, which has an absolute advantage, they seem to be defeated!

"If only Hansheng were here!"

The leader of the Huang clan sighed in a low voice. The "Hansheng" that he recited was a person's word. This person's surname is Huang Mingzhong, and he is a branch of the Huang family in Nanyang County.

At the end of last year, Huang Zhong took his ten-year-old son Huang Xu from Nanyang County to Linyi to participate in the Huang family's ancestor worship, and filled in his son's name on the Huang family tree, which can be regarded as recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out suddenly, and Huang Zhong, who was distinguished by force, showed extremely rare military talent. He not only organized the strong men of the Huang clan into an army to defend the township, but also repeatedly took the initiative to attack and broke several small groups of Yellow Turban troops nearby. These achievements have greatly increased the prestige of the Huang family, which was originally ordinary, and it has become a strong force in Linyi County, second only to the Chunyu family.

It is a pity that two months ago, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, who were called by the party as one of the "Eight Gus" in Shanyang, were recruited by the newly appointed "general" He Jin after the abolition of the "party system", and went to Luoyang through Linyi County, where they happened to settle down in Huang's Wubao.

After staying at Huang's Dock Fort for a few days, this well-known party member greatly appreciated Huang Zhong's actions and skills. Liu Biao not only talked with Huang Zhong many times, but also invited Huang Zhong to go to Luoyang with him before leaving.

Huang Zhong was originally an admirer of the party, and his identity was just a martial artist, not even a scholar, and he mixed up a small official position in the countryside to "seek thieves", and there was no future at all. Now seeing that Liu Biao was appointed as a staff member by He Jinzheng, who was newly appointed as a "general", and the future is bright, Huang Zhong is naturally moved.

So, after handing over the private soldiers of the Huang clan who had been trained for several months to the patriarch of the Huang clan, Huang Zhong resolutely took his son Huang Xu, followed Liu Biao, and embarked on the road of seeking official positions in Luoyang.

After Huang Zhong left voluntarily, when he accepted these hundreds of well-trained private soldiers, the leader of the Huang clan was overjoyed, glad that his authority in the clan had not been damaged. However, at this moment, in the hearts of the leaders of the Huang family's private soldiers, they only hope that Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who are "brave and resolute in Linyi", have not left.

However, although there are "Zhan Qi" and "spells" in this world, there is still no elixir such as "regret medicine" to sell. Therefore, the attack launched by Le Jin after dismounting could only be silently borne by him.

Lejin moves forward in small steps. Behind him, followed by a group of swordsmen armed with large shields.

"Shoot!"

"Snatch ......"

"Shoot!"

"Snatch ......"

"Shoot!"

"Snatch ......"

The continuous rain of arrows from the enemy made Le Jin, who took the lead in the charge, also admire.

- These guys, really have two hits, and they actually mastered the tactics of "three-stage shooting"!

The so-called "three-stage shooting" is a method of warfare in which the crossbowmen are divided into three parts and take turns shooting in order. The advantage of this method of warfare is that it can continuously exert long-range pressure on the enemy.

Of course, this method of warfare is nothing new. As far back as hundreds of years ago, during the Warring States Period, the masters of the art of war at that time had already developed the tactics of "four-stage shooting" and "five-stage shooting" that were more complex and clever than "three-stage shooting".

However, as a private soldier, it is already extremely rare to be able to train bow and crossbow tactics to such an extent.

These things, in Le Jin's mind, just flashed. Alertly observing the front, he struck three arrows with his knife and blocked five with his shield, and rushed to the enemy unscathed.

At this time, Lejin's attendants were still seven or eight zhang away from Lejin due to being shot by crossbow arrows, and they could not provide military support for Lejin. In other words, because he rushed too fiercely and too fast, Lejin was tantamount to being alone and rushing in front of the enemy's formation.

Then, three or four spears and halberds appeared in front of Lejin, waiting for him to crash into it.

What kind of master is Lejin? He didn't even use any of these long weapons to deal with them.

Le's move is the body.

Unexpectedly, he rolled on the ground, and Le Jin's body avoided these spear-tipped halberd blades that flashed with cold light, and came to the enemy's closeness.

Lejin, who was squatting on the ground, didn't stand up, just waved his knife. The ring-headed knife with the purple-gold "Zhan Qi" slashed through a semicircle at a height of two feet above the ground, like cutting tofu, and cut off three blood-drenched calves!

The majesty of thousands of people is fully revealed at this moment!

The Huang private soldiers obviously began to stir. The Huang private soldiers who were approached by Le Jin hurriedly discarded the long soldiers such as bows, crossbows, guns and halberds in their hands, and drew the short knives on their waists, wanting to resist Le Jin's attack.

At this time, it fully reflects the advantage of Lejin's short stature. He bent on his waist, pounced and rolled, and once again rushed forward a foot away. In the uproar of the surrounding enemies, the forty steel-refining knives in Le Jin's hands soared again, drawing a large circle with a diameter of more than one zhang, and cutting off a thigh, two calves, and an arm holding a short knife. The screams of the enemy soldiers immediately turned into screams!

Such an unexpected blow finally became the fuse for the complete collapse of the Huang family's private army.

The frightened Huang private soldiers must not only pay attention to the attack of the Tianping Army in front, but also be careful of Lejin who breaks into the enemy formation alone. When Le Jin rolled through the ground in two more places and cut off a leg and foot, the Huang private soldiers, who could no longer bear the casualties, suddenly shouted in unison and fled towards the desert where there was no enemy......

At this time, Zhang Qiang nodded with satisfaction.

This battle, a big victory!
