Chapter 311: It's okay to scare people
Chapter 311 It's okay to be scared
Xu Shiji personally commanded the Long Dragon Shield Array to slowly squeeze into the valley, if you look at it from a high altitude, the Long Dragon Shield Array actually looks more like a huge and hideous centipede slowly crawling into the valley, in front of this huge centipede, the Yanyunzhai soldiers blocking the front look so small.
But this is just what it seems, from the beginning of the shield array into the valley, the people and horses of Yanyunzhai seem to be constantly retreating, and some have no way to take that shield array, the feather arrows cannot penetrate the shield array defense, and if they get close to the kill, they will be blocked by the spears stabbed out of the shield array, and for a while, it seems that they can only let the people and horses of Wagangzhai squeeze into the valley, but as the commander, Xu Shiji's brows are getting tighter and tighter.
He always felt that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
But he didn't have time to think about this at this time, and while being vigilant, he commanded the second thousand-man shield array into the valley. The valley is narrow, and if the two shield arrays go side by side, the valley will almost be filled, so that the soldiers of Yanyunzhai can only retreat, and there is only one option left to attack the front of the shield array. However, for the sake of safety, Xu Shiji did not let the two long dragon shield formations advance in unison, but entered the valley one after the other.
Behind the two long dragon shield arrays, there was an archer of a thousand people, trailing behind the shield array, feathered arrows scattered and indiscriminate attacks, used to ensure that the people attacking the shield array did not dare to approach, and after entering the valley, the archers of this thousand people team became a little passive, because the archers of Yanyun Village on the hillside condescended to occupy the advantage.
The escort of the archers really can't go far, the deeper they go, the greater the casualties of the archers, and then we can only see how far the shield array breaks in, this attack is aimed at saving people rather than a decisive battle, so Xu Shiji didn't think about how much damage the Changlong shield array could do to the people and horses of Yanyunzhai, in fact, the attack power of the shield array itself is not large, unless it spreads after reaching the destination, otherwise as long as the shield array does not disintegrate, the enemy does not come up, and it cannot play a role in killing the enemy at all.
Xu Shiji didn't know how far Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin had already entered the valley, and if it was more than three miles, he was worried that the shield array would also be surrounded by groups because they entered too deep. Although the defense is amazing, the shield array is not invincible, as long as it is trapped, it is not a fantasy for ants to bite an elephant to death.
Moreover, the shield array is not an elephant, and the people and horses of Yanyunzhai are not ants.
Just two miles from the mouth of this valley, there was a huge boulder protruding from the hillside on one side, and behind the boulder was a small piece of flat land, barely enough to stand a dozen people. At this time, Daxi Changru stood here with his hands in his hands, looking down at the two big centipedes slowly crawling over. Behind him, Xiong Kuohai and the others also had calm faces, as if they were not troubled by the continuous pressure of the long dragon shield array.
"When the Great Sui Ping destroyed Nan Chen."
Daxi Changru, who was standing with his hands in his hands, said slowly with some amazement: "After crossing the Yangtze River, the decisive battle with the Nanchen army, when the Nanchen army put up this long dragon shield array and rushed straight to the Great Sui army formation, Chu Gong Yang Su ordered to block it with a ballista, and circled with a fine horseman, and used a long lance to overturn the shield array little by little. ”
"It's just that now we don't have ballistas in our hands, and the narrow valley cavalry is useless."
"It seems that the Long Dragon Shield Array is very suitable for fighting in this valley."
Daxi Changru smiled: "It's just that there are no absolutes in the world, and things that seem to be suitable actually have both positive and negative sides. ”
Xiong Kuohai asked: "The person who commanded the shield array did not let the two shield arrays go hand in hand, in fact, he thought of the many rocks on the hillside, and he was afraid that we would throw them with rocks, and if the two shield arrays were parallel, there would be no room to dodge, and this person's mind seemed to be fine." ”
"But there are more rocks in this valley."
Luo Fu smiled and said, "There are still many big trees"
Daxi Changru smiled slightly, and then waved the order flag in his hand a few times. The soldiers of Yanyunzhai in the valley received the order and began to retreat into the valley like a tide. About a hundred meters in front of the Changlong Shield Array, the soldiers of Yanyunzhai on the slopes of the mountains on both sides were struggling to cut down trees. And on both sides of the hillside behind the second Long Dragon Shield Array, the soldiers of Yanyun Village were also cutting down trees.
"Not good!"
Xu Shiji, who was standing at the mouth of the valley and watching, was shocked.
"Archers! Press in and shoot the Yanyunzhai soldiers on both sides of the valley! ”
Xu Shiji ordered loudly.
Hundreds of archers risked being shot, and rushed in under the protection of the shield bearer, trying to force the Yanyunzhai soldiers on both sides of the hillside to retreat, but it was too late, a feather arrow was shot on the forehead of a Yanyunzhai soldier who was swinging the axe, his body shook violently, and then slowly threw himself forward and crashed into the towering tree, perhaps it was only a trace of strength, and the already crumbling tree fell down.
This seems to be a signal, as the first big tree fell, the trees on both sides of the valley fell down the hillside one after another, and in ten minutes, all the two ends of the shield array that entered the valley were blocked! Those two thousand-person shield arrays were sealed by giant trees in front and back!
Xu Shiji let out a long sigh, his body shook and almost fell.
"Bow!"
With the waving of Daxi Changru's order flag, the soldiers who had originally retreated in Yanyunzhai were killed again. Countless people rushed down the hillside to surround the front and back of the shield array, and with an order, the soldiers of Yanyunzhai set fire to the rockets wrapped in oil-soaked cloth strips, and thousands of rockets rained down on the two huge centipedes.
The centipede has thick armor and is invulnerable to the sword, but it cannot stop the flames from burning.
……
……
"Report!"
A scout came panting and galloping on horseback, and before he had time to get off the horse, he directly hugged his fists on the horse and said: "Big boss, the Yanyunzhai brigade is killing from behind, and the smoke and dust are covered, and I don't know how many troops there are." Zhang Dangjia couldn't resist anymore, he ordered me to come and ask the big boss to send reinforcements over! ”
"Huh?"
Zhai Rang was shocked after hearing this: "Where did Yanyun Village come from so many people!" ”
"Mao Gong, how good is this!"
He looked at Xu Shiji and asked eagerly.
Xu Shiji's heart was already a little chaotic at this time, he didn't expect that the people of Yanyunzhai would attack the Changlong Shield Array with rockets, and he also thought that the people of Yanyunzhai would throw rocks with chaos, but he could only pin his luck on the rescue of Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin, because the advantages of the terrain of this valley were all on the side of Yanyunzhai, even if Sun Wu reborn Wuhou would not be able to think of any way. He just didn't expect that those people in Yanyun Village would be so ruthless, and they would first block the way of advance and retreat with giant trees before attacking with rockets, and they didn't intend to give those two thousand shield soldiers and the thousands of spearmen hidden in them a chance to live.
It was not Li Xian who commanded the people of Yanyunzhai!
Xu Shiji suddenly thought of a question, if Li Xian commanded, he might cut down giant trees to block them, or attack them with rockets, but before giving the order to release arrows, Li Xian would definitely persuade those trapped Wagangzhai soldiers to surrender. This is not because Li Xian is soft-hearted, he is by no means a good person, it is because Li Xian is reluctant to those giant shields, and if he burns it, he is afraid that he will feel distressed.
In Yanyun Village, Xu Shiji deeply felt Li Xian's greed.
That kind of greed is not insatiable, but will not waste anything useful to him, although there are some petty family spirits that would rather be lacking than indiscriminate, but this kind of surname is not hateful, two thousand huge shields, which is a lot of wealth for equipping infantry!
Moreover, Li Xian said that he would take the opportunity to blackmail Wagangzhai to withdraw from the army.
But now, the people of Yanyunzhai didn't give those Wagangzhai shield soldiers the slightest chance, and they directly blocked it and then burned it, and the surname of the person who gave the order was cold and hard, which was obviously not Li Xian's style.
Xu Shiji frowned, and his heart lit up.
Li Xian is among the Yanyunzhai people who are attacking in the rear team!
"Big boss, the whole army will go backwards and do your best to attack the enemy of Yanyunzhai who is coming from behind! Li Xian is in the Yanyunzhai army behind, as long as the enemy army behind is defeated, the ambush soldiers in the Yanyunzhai valley are not to worry! ”
Xu Shiji thought of this and suggested loudly to Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang was stunned and hesitated: "But...... But Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Zhijie are still in the valley, how can we abandon them? ”
"Li Xian is seriously injured, and the Yanyunzhai people and horses behind him will definitely not be too much, it can't be said that it is Li Xian's suspicious strategy, the big boss will lead the army to attack as much as possible, as long as the people and horses of Yanyunzhai in the rear team are besieged, Li Xian is captured, and then they are exchanged for Second Brother Shan and Cheng Zhijie!"
……
……
In fact, there are really not many people in Yanyun Village in the rear team, only the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of Agni, plus the people of Leize City with more than 1,000 people, and the total strength is only about 7,000 people. But judging from the scene, it seems that there are no less than 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the momentum is violent.
Directly in front of them were the soldiers of the Agni Battalion who rushed forward in formation, and behind them were the more than 1,000 people who were dragging branches back and forth, covered by smoke and dust, and it was really impossible to see how many people and horses there were behind. Zhang Liang only had 3,000 men under his command, and he couldn't stop the offensive of the Agni Battalion, but at this time, seeing that the men and horses behind Yanyun Village were still killing endlessly, he was also frightened and uneasy.
Zhang Liang originally didn't plan to fight a tough battle with the people of Yanyunzhai, he wanted to lead the troops to withdraw after a little contact with him, and he kept the 3,000 men and horses, either leading the troops to the west to chase Li Mi, or watching from the side, if Wagangzhai was defeated, he would take advantage of the situation to kill Zhai Rang and replace him. It's a pity that he originally intended to invite Xu Shiji to go with him, but Xu Shiji pretended to be stupid and didn't go with him.
Now that Xu Shiji is not leaving, Zhang Liang has no confidence to take the lead in Wagangzhai.
Therefore, he had no choice but to fight with the men and horses of Yanyunzhai, but the strength of the Yanyunzhai Agni Battalion was originally more than twice as much as his, plus the Agni Battalion waited for work, and there was no war during this period, and the soldiers were full of energy and morale. Therefore, Zhang Liang's men and horses were killed and retreated, and they were about to be broken through by Yanyunzhai's men and horses.
"Go and report to the boss again, and let him send reinforcements quickly!"
Zhang Liang shouted through gritted teeth.
One of his own soldiers took the order and rode his horse in the direction of the valley.
In the fire camp of Yanyun Village, Li Xian did not appear in front of the battle, but rode a big black horse to fight in the rear team. A few hundred meters behind him were the people who dragged the branches back and forth. From time to time, soldiers ran back to report to him the battle situation ahead, but he did not give any military orders, just let Dongfang Agni let go and attack.
After calculating the time, Li Xian couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Ye Huaisleeve on his side rode a red and brown horse, changed her delicate and beautiful armor, and the whole person looked a little less charming and a little more heroic. It's just that the red armor is too delicate, and instead of covering her figure, it looks like the curves are more defined.
She didn't have the posture of a little woman who covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, her face was calm, and she didn't seem to mind the smoke and dust stirred up by the people not far away.
"It's time to set it up. It's time to play out, too. ”
Ye Huaisleeve said lightly.
Li Xian smiled: "I've already played out." ”
Ye Huai smiled slightly: "If you play your handsome flag, the people of Wagangzhai will come faster." ”
Li Xian shook his head: "If I really play the handsome flag, they won't believe it." ”
"As for the time to set it up......"
Li Xian smiled: "It's indeed time, it's just a little less, it's okay to scare people, if you really run into someone who doesn't want to die, we have to flee if we can't turn around." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, more than a thousand soldiers who had been prepared not far away immediately became busy.
