Chapter 649: Huang Zhong and Wei Yan
Xu You's face was cold, he looked at the dozens of soldiers with pale faces, and waved his hand: "Killed!" ā
"General Xu, this ......" A miscellaneous Zhonglang general hesitated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You dare to disobey my orders?" Xu You's eyes tightened, staring at the miscellaneous lieutenant general, murderous. The lieutenant swallowed his saliva, withdrew his gaze, and did not dare to say anything more. Xu You waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward, and with a burst of knives, they cut down all the soldiers who had just escaped death to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, blood flowed in front of the horse.
"Send another thousand men to attack head-on, and at the same time send a thousand men to attack the flanks!" Xu You coldly gave the order to continue the attack, he paused, and said: "The soldiers who ordered the attack should rest once every hundred steps, and each time they beat a drum." ā
Although Xu You didn't ask the soldiers who had fled, he guessed a little, and probably guessed the reason why a thousand people were beaten by two hundred. When using the giant shield, he thought that it might be too heavy and cause inconvenience, and he specially asked a few guards to walk around twice with the shield, and the guards said that the shield was relatively heavy, but it was not so tired that it could not fight. Now it seems that his estimation of the situation at that time was somewhat insufficient, firstly, the physical strength of his personal guards exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, and secondly, the physical strength of his personal guards was relaxed at that time, and they were not as nervous as they are now, and they did not go three hundred steps away, and the physical wear and tear was far less great than now.
The time he now had for the attacking soldiers to rest a drum every hundred paces should make up for it. The opponent did not shoot arrows before, which means that the protection of this giant shield against the arrow array is still effective. If you want to reduce unnecessary casualties, the giant shield can't be easily abandoned.
The war drums sounded again, and two thousand-strong troops walked out of the battle formation, one attacking head-on, the other going around to the south, attacking Xu Rong's right flank. They also held huge shields, but this time, they didn't keep moving forward. Every 100 paces, they would stop to rest, make a drum, and then continue on.
Xu Rong's face still didn't show a little wave. He watched the battle formation silently and slowly, resolutely, and even closed his eyes and listened only with his ears.
Huang Zhong still had his hands behind his back, pacing unhurriedly in front of the formation, he glanced at Yuan Jun who was getting closer and closer from time to time, chuckled at the corners of his mouth, and shook his head from time to time. It seems to be lamenting.
Behind him, Wei Yan looked at him with some excitement. They were facing south, and they had not seen the scene with their own eyes, but they had heard it with their ears. They heard the roar of their comrades as they charged, and soon heard the shouts of their victorious enemies, followed by the roar of the ballista. All this tickled his heart. He really wanted to turn his head and take a look, but half a year of study at the Jingzhou Military Academy and two months of training under Huang Zhong let him know. His task was to protect the security of the right flank of the Great Formation, and without a military order, he could not care about the affairs of the front formation, not even turn his head.
Therefore, he could only listen with his ears, and could only watch the victory of his comrades, looking forward to the start of his debut battle as soon as possible. He tightened his grip on the shield in his hand, rubbed the ring of the knife, and slowly adjusted his breathing, calming his excitement as much as possible.
The sun rose into the sky. As it began to show its power, the air began to burn, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the iron armor and on the tip of the spear, making people dazzled.
As soon as the Chinese army gave the order, all the soldiers took up the hats behind their backs. Wearing it on his head, even Huang Zhong in front of the battle covered a hat on his helmet. At the same time, he took a flask from his waist, poured a sip of wine, and then carefully tucked the flask back into his waist. He stretched out his arms, made two chest protection movements, and shook his body again, and the bones of his whole body made a gurgling sound like a ringing bead.
Seeing Huang Zhong do this, all the soldiers began to prepare for battle, one guard stepped forward, presented his horn bow with both hands, and one guard stepped forward, untied his big sword, carefully folded it, and put it into his backpack. Their movements were well organized, neither nervous nor hectic, as if they were not in front of the battle, but at home.
Huang Zhong took the bow in his hand, raised his left arm, level with his shoulder, hooked the bowstring with two fingers of his right hand, and easily pulled the bow, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the bowstring made a muffled sound, which made people's eardrums tremble.
The battle array of the Yuan army on the opposite side was overwhelmed by the momentum of Huang Zhong's leisurely stroll, and it seemed to be shot by an invisible arrow.
"Hahaha......" Huang Zhong let out a chuckle, shook his head, and stretched out his right hand: "Arrow!" ā
A guard offered a feathered arrow made of steel in both hands. Huang Zhong received the arrow in his hand, sat on the horse with his waist heavy, pulled the bow like a full moon, took a slight aim, and let go.
"Whoosh!" The tail feathers of the feather arrow trembled, and it writhed strangely in the air, and the arrow reflecting the cold light tore through the air, and shot away, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and instantly flew over a distance of a hundred steps.
"Raise your shield!" Captain Yuan, who had been paying attention to Huang Zhong, let out a loud shout, and with one arm, he raised his heavy shield. He had just raised his shield when it suddenly cracked a hole, and a cold light burst through the shield. In the flying sawdust, sharp arrows shot through his cheeks at once.
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out a sharp scream: "Ahhh The pain caused him to scream again.
"Ahh
The screams made the faces of the guards around him turn pale, and they looked at the captain who had fallen to the ground, and at the feathered arrow that pierced the thick wooden shield, a chill rose from their hearts, and fear instantly grabbed the hearts of all of them. They held their breath, dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing. A hundred steps away, an arrow pierced a three-finger-thick wooden shield?!
The other soldiers could not see all this, but they could hear the screams of the captain and knew that the captain must have been shot by the arrow just now. They also felt incomprehensible, but because they were incomprehensible, the fear came stronger than the guards.
The captain has iron armor, and if he can't stop this arrow, then who can stop this arrow? Fear was like a gust of wind, accompanied by the screams of the captain, and quickly spread among the officers and men of the Yuan army, making everyone's hearts tremble.
In the fear of Yuan Jun, Huang Zhong shot three arrows in a row, and each arrow accurately hit the target. One lieutenant, two Qu military marquis, even hiding behind a thick shield, they could not dodge Huang Zhong's arrows, the lieutenant was seriously injured, one military marquis was shot, and the other was more lucky, but was shot through the scalp.
Although he was not seriously injured, the military marquis was so frightened that he touched the blood on the top of his head. He looked at the hole in the shield, his face turned pale, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Just when Yuan Jun's command system was temporarily down, Huang Zhong put away his bow and waved his hand: "Wei Yan, come with me!" ā
"Whoa!" Wei Yan, who was amazed by Huang Zhong's archery skills, immediately boiled his blood when he heard this order, he pulled out his ring knife and roared: "Kill-" took a big stride, and rushed to the front of Huang Zhong in two steps. Huang Zhong glanced at him in surprise, nodded, pulled out the ring knife, and followed, walking side by side with Wei Yan.
Behind them, a hundred guards and five hundred warriors also began to run.
A hundred steps, it was almost there, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had not yet come to their senses, looked at the enemy rushing towards them, and gasped in fright, they clenched the weapons in their hands, pricked up their ears, and waited for their orders to fight.
However, all they heard was the screams of the captain and the roars of the enemy getting closer.
"Kill!" Wei Yan led his own army and ran at the front, the first to contact the enemy. He swung his shield to block an outstretched spear, raised his right arm high, and slashed down.
"Boom!" The ring knife slashed into the thick shield, deeply embedded. Wei Yan pulled out the knife hard, but he couldn't pull it out. He tried to stop and kick the shield with his foot, but he was squeezed forward by his companions who were rushing behind him, and he couldn't stop at all. At that moment, a spear stabbed out of the giant shield and went straight to his chest.
Wei Yan's eyes widened, and his mind suddenly went blank. All the war books and strategies, all the ideas, disappeared in an instant. He was ambitious, bent on making achievements, looking forward to capturing the flag, but he didn't expect that the first battle would make him face a choice between life and death.
Soldiers are in danger! Wei Yan only had these four words left in his mind.
With a piercing grinding sound, a war knife suddenly appeared in front of Wei Yan, slid against the hilt of the spear, and while deflecting the hilt, it cut the fingers of the spearman with a knife, and then the head of the knife reversed, cutting his neck.
Blood gushed out, spraying Wei Yan's head and face, the hot blood woke Wei Yan up, and then, a knife handle was stuffed into his hand, and Huang Zhong's shout sounded in his ears: "Avoid the real and attack the false, don't hard top!" ā
Wei Yan snorted, looked at the back of Huang Zhong who was like a tiger and smashed into the enemy, lowered his head, and then looked at the knife that Huang Zhong stuffed into his hand, and there were two words on the knife: Taiping!
This is the war knife given to Huang Zhonglang by the hussar general! Wei Yan suddenly felt blood surging up his head, and an irrepressible force instantly filled his whole body. He roared wildly, slashed a Yuan soldier to death, and chased after Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong pulled out his red crow, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, slashing with a knife and shield, there was no enemy in front of him, behind him, a hundred guards followed like a shadow, on his left side, Wei Yan frantically brandished his sword, hacked four or five enemies in succession, and gradually caught up.
"My lord, I'm here!"
Huang Zhong smashed open a shield with a knife, his wrist flicked, and the tip of the knife accurately opened the door of the Yuan soldier's face, and at the same time turned his head to look at Wei Yan, who was like a mad tiger, and laughed: "Good boy, not bad." However, don't work so hard, take it easy, go as you please, and walk at will. There is an enemy in the eyes, but there is no enemy in the heart! ā
"Thank you for your advice!" Wei Yan laughed, his knife technique changed, no longer slashing and killing, but more sharp.
The two fought side by side, unstoppable. The two fought side by side, unstoppable.
