Chapter 80, the feather forest out of the sheath
This more than 10,000 Yulin army, can be said to be the most loyal and credible force of the little emperor, in the Dong Zhuo period, he was planning with the three princes and some loyal old courtiers, and formed a certain prototype, and then Lu Bu in the first few months of Luoyang, Liu Xie was released by the greatest Cheng DΓΉ, even for Li Ru's big enemy Dong Zhuo's remnant forces, there is no desire to continue to encircle and suppress, only dedicated to training this private guard in the palace.
In terms of pure combat power, these people themselves are very strict in their selection, and their personal strength is the most important assessment in addition to loyalty, so even if they are compared with the real elite forces under Lu Bu's command, they are not much less confident; Of course, this is not easy to say, after all, although most of them have also been on the battlefield, but when they enter a new team, even if they are a group of veterans with good combat strength, they also need to be run-in, and the best whetstone is the actual test of war, but unfortunately Liu Xie himself cannot lead the army, and there is no suitable leader under his command, if Lu Bu is allowed to take it out, it is not reassuring, so if it is against the battle of Pound this time, if it can be used to sharpen, Dong Cheng can't say that he has to thank the other party.
Whew!
With Dong Cheng's gesture between raising his hand and letting go of the command, the front row of Yulin Jun was awe-inspiring, and his spirit couldn't help but be shocked, at this time a good foundation was revealed, even if their cooperation was not tacit enough, and the run-in process was not enough, but the strength of almost the same level line, so that they could make the most subconscious reaction after receiving the order, but it was also so synchronized, and then they were seen as originally set. Qi Shushu lifted the spear in his hand, and then threw the weapon in his hand forward without any scruples for a while.
If it was now on a vast battlefield, facing enemies surrounded from all directions, and the distance was not close, then Dong Cheng would not dare to choose such a way to counterattack.
However, there is no if, the current shape is that the enemy is imminent, and the environment is in a much narrower street than the plain battlefield, the lethality of this attack method is multiplied, and it can be seen that after the spear they threw with a brush and threw a parabola in mid-air. Qi Qi fell in the front row of the enemy camp. More precisely, it's like smashing it over.
At this moment, Liu Xie held his breath, Dong Cheng could even listen to his heartbeat, no matter how good the drill was at this time, it was all based on actual performance. And this is the first sortie. Or let's say fight back. In the eyes of Liu Xie and Dong Cheng, they were more important than anything else, and the ministers who had seen the opportunity and were about to come forward to greet Liu Xie were also shocked at this time, and everyone was waiting for an unknown result. This unknown outcome is likely to play a pivotal role, and it will be imminent.
Because they didn't deliberately aim at the target, these guns and spears that were thrown out didn't actually have a certain trajectory, or that their operating rules were not completely independent of each other, which of course had something to do with the fit of the Yulin Military Gate, and they couldn't do it now that the things they threw out were far away from each other, even if it was only so limited, more than a dozen people threw them at the same time, so when these guns and spears flew into the air, many of them even intertwined and collided together. Or maybe several spears fall and hit the same enemy, and two of them are still in the same part.
But maybe because of this, so everyone doesn't need to take care of anything else at all, just use their greatest strength, and don't care much about the posture of throwing guns and spears, as long as they can throw them, so that they can play better, plus the enemy and me are not far away from each other, and at the same time, both sides are carrying the momentum of charging towards each other, which also makes it so that once the enemy is stabbed, the power can even be so strong that it can directly penetrate the opponent's body at once, and a few spears even directly nail the opponent's corpse to the ground, However, they were quickly knocked out of the way by the enemy soldiers rushing up behind them, but only slightly delayed their movements, and then the ones behind continued to rush forward.
And at this moment, the soldiers in the second row of the Yulin Army with their spears raised had already stepped forward-
Whew!
There was another sound of spears and spears that pierced the air and drove the wind to whistle, but compared to the previous time, this time it was somewhat accurate, after all, it also gave them more time to observe and aim before, although it was still a little flattering, but the lethality was a big improvement on this basis.
I could only hear the sound of "poof" and "poof" one after another, the sharp arrows of spears and spears piercing the leather armor, clothes and even flesh of Ma Chao's sergeants, and the force was reduced compared to just now, but the results achieved in this round of throwing were even more remarkable, including a few fish that had slipped through the net in the first row of the original enemy, and nearly twenty soldiers in the second row all fell under this round of throwing spears and spears.
And as Dong Cheng had predicted before, after such a good start, this Yulin army, which itself is very good, has the potential to become a division of a hundred battles and an ace elite, is also playing better and better, and even some of them are over-playing, at least in the very short period of time before contact, they have unexpectedly annihilated nearly a hundred enemies, and their own side has only a dozen casualties caused by the loss of the opponent's emergency counterattack.
The most direct result of this is that Pang Dejun's corpses are almost piled up on the street to block the way, and in the end, it is even necessary to send special personnel to remove the corpses and clear the space.
The Yulin army was greatly encouraged, although the distance had been shortened to the point that the means of throwing guns and spears were no longer needed, but their confidence had been raised, and they were not so afraid of further battles in the future, not to mention that melee combat was a good thing compared to the Yulin army that had not yet had time to run-in, and the terrain was more conducive to them to play well.
Liu Xie and several ministers were also very excited, most of them were seeing this kind of scene for the first time, as long as they thought that this Yulin army was on their side and was also a real pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and pride; Dong Cheng was a little relieved, thinking that he had finally not taken them in vain just now. didn't grab a few hairs in vain to come up with such an idea, and I was a little proud in my heart.
However, at this time, Pound, who was the opposite, was not in a good mood, and he could naturally see that the ministers from Liu Xie to the opposite side had no experience in marching and fighting, even if it was like this now, it was estimated that most of them were experiencing it for the first time; And although the soldiers under his command are not recruits, the jerkiness of the cooperation is completely visible, and I don't know how they were temporarily trained by patchwork, but they were defeated by such a combination.
Of course, a battle is not just such a simple few charges, and it is normal for hundreds of thousands of people to die at the beginning of this kind of battle, but what is abnormal is that the scene they are facing is too weird. The undefended environment and inexperienced commander led a group of uncoordinated soldiers. This gave them a head-on blow.
Pound was even a little annoyed at this moment, many of the ideas he had conceived at the beginning were directly overturned by him in an instant, and at this moment he just wanted to use the most direct and violent means to crush the other party, and even recklessly did so.
"Kill!"
A loud shout shook the long street. In the silence of the four fields, it seems that this solemn killing is full of meaning. And with Pound taking the initiative to take up the banner of charging into battle. Behind him, the soldiers of the Ma family army were all howling with excitement, and no one was willing to show weakness and followed closely, and the psychological shadow caused by the few rounds of spears and spears swept by the Yulin Army completely disappeared in this moment.
Dong Cheng's heart sank. Almost at the same time, he shouted: "Cover Your Majesty and all the ministers to step aside and form a formation to meet the enemy!" β
A team of men and horses persuaded Liu Xie and his group of monarchs and ministers, who had not completely eased their excitement, to retreat to the rear, while the others quickly performed their duties, forming a temporary defensive formation in front of this spacious palace gate, and the front row squatted down was a row of sword and shield hands, holding a knife and a shield in one hand, and the enemy used a shield to block arrows when he rushed, and the enemy drew his sword to meet him.
Behind is two rows of intersecting such as forest spears, and then behind is the archers, leading the bow to the sky to volley, in the "Xiu Xiu" sound of breaking the air, a branch of the arrow off the string, as if to rush to the clouds, but rushed to the air only over the palace wall at the top of the half zhang high, and then can't help but fall down, when falling naturally or the arrow side down, by gravity potential energy speed is faster than the side of the horse Chaojun who is charging.
This is not all, Dong Cheng has even made preparations for the first few rows as cannon fodder, and after a distance, just in the open space where the palace gate entered, a few rows of archers were arranged, but the number of people in each row was much more, and at the same time, he had already been able to use some good things, such as fire oil, firewood, etc., the firewood was laid out in rows, and then the fire oil was poured along the palace wall, because the time was too hasty and the preparation was not enough, so it was only extended on both sides of the palace gate, Wherever there is none, then stop there, and as for the arranged archers, in their hands, it is naturally rockets.
And Dong Cheng is not ready to make a move after the other party has completely attacked, so it will definitely be too late, but these people in front of him will inevitably become cannon fodder, and without knowing it, Dong Cheng can't control so much, as long as it can work in the end, these people will realize their value.
However, Dong Cheng still hopes that they can block each other more, Liu Xie and the others were arranged inside, but there is no need to worry about safety, there are also Yulin troops around him, and he is not afraid, but Dong Cheng thought that he could drag the other party for a while longer, it is always good to completely provoke them, and when the time comes, the operation will not only use the wall of fire to treat them, but also create some tragedies.
But he never thought that the first layer of defense he arranged was so vulnerable under the opponent's charge, although the rows of tight and orderly defense lines finally caused a lot of damage to the other party, and the number of casualties also rose in a straight line, but in general, the time passed was still far lower than Dong Cheng's expectations, and it was estimated that Liu Xie and they had not yet entered the palace to hide, and Pang De had already taken the lead, followed by a few brave men, and a large group of men and horses had already rushed over.
This can't be blamed on Dong Cheng's arrangement not being good enough, and it can't be said that the Yulin Army is too weak, but it is really that the momentum of this charge under the leadership of Pang De himself is too strong, even if the most elite soldiers under Lu Bu are here, I am afraid they will have to avoid the edge for the time being.
The so-called courage of the soldiers, Pang De, the main general, charged forward, which greatly encouraged the soldiers behind him, and they also had to fight for their lives, compared to Dong Cheng, who only knew how to hide in the guards of the Royal Forest Army, was already a little weaker in comparison.
When Pang De finally broke through the encirclement and passed through the palace gate, Dong Cheng reacted and immediately shouted: "Release the arrow, hurry, release the arrow!" β
Hearing the order, the soldiers of the Yulin Army did not hesitate, and they didn't care that there were still some people on their side, one rocket after another broke through the air, and some went straight towards Pound, but he was not affected at all, and the big knife in his hand was just waved a few times at random, and it was completely blocked, and the expression on his face was still very disdainful, but soon his face became gloomy......
