Chapter 149: Scuffle
Gongsun Xu took the lead in rushing down the mountain to kill the bandits, bringing a new kind of impact to the soldiers of Xiangping City.
They always thought that Gongsun Xu's wearing armor was nothing more than a gimmick, and they had never seen or heard of Gongsun Xu going into battle to kill the enemy.
But now, they actually saw Gongsun Xu jumping down from the top of the slope and actually joined their team, and the Xiangping soldiers, who were originally high morale, began to kill those bandits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
They thought very clearly in their hearts that if they could be seen by Gongsun in such a situation, it would be extremely helpful for their future development.
The soldiers of the Han army in Xiangping City slaughtered among the bandits like tigers descending from the mountain, and immediately killed the bandits who fled back to the point that the ghost cried wolf and cried for his father and mother.
Han Yu saw that Gongsun Xu's side was attacking, and he was not in a hurry to let his soldiers charge, but ordered the archers to keep moving forward, using bows and arrows and the four trebuchets behind them to sweep away the bandits in front of them first.
Han Yu is different from Gongsun Xu, when he faced those bandits in Longshou Mountain, he had already learned the fierceness of the bandits in Longshou Mountain, and he knew in his heart that those elite bandits in Longshou Mountain were no worse than the ordinary soldiers in Xiangping, these bandits couldn't run away anyway, and he must not let his soldiers continue to attrition.
Han Yu instructed the soldiers around him not to rush to chase and kill the enemy first, settle the wounded soldiers first, and wait for the trebuchet to comb through a few times, and the archers can effectively kill and injure some bandits, and then they will attack.
Han Yu still had a grudge against Gongsun Xu in his heart, and Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun did not appear at the location of Jiapigou for the first time.
He didn't know that there was a small accident when Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun rushed to Jiapigou, and in the process of following Liu Xing and Zhao Yun to these bandits, they were actually discovered by several thieves who returned to Liu Xing.
In order not to expose their traces and not to be discovered by Liu Xing, they surrounded and suppressed for more than half an hour before they captured those bandits, and it was precisely because of such a reason that the time for them to arrive at Jiapigou was more than half an hour longer than Han Yu thought.
If it weren't for Liu Xing's hesitation for a moment when the merchant group entered the valley, and only realized that something was wrong when he attacked Han Yu's army for a long time, this plan to exterminate the bandits would definitely not have gone so smoothly.
Moreover, Han Yu also felt that he and his five hundred elite soldiers and more than three hundred ordinary soldiers had killed nearly one and a half thousand bandits, that is to say, they had already earned one-third of the credit for encircling and suppressing the bandits this time, and they still didn't want to rob others of the rest of the credit.
Whether it is Nan Tianyuan or that Wuhuan boy Ustan Ustan, they have all suffered some good crimes, let them gain more military exploits!
Lin Wei, the third master, led the brave brothers to break off the rear to prevent the Han soldiers on the other side of the car formation from rushing over, and they knew in their hearts that they wanted to buy time for Liu Xing, the big boss, to get into the mountains and forests.
They held back the fire in their bellies, because they actually saw that the Han soldiers in the cart formation did not rush out to fight them, but kept casting bows and arrows at them in the cart array.
Not to mention the rain of arrows that killed many of their brothers, the trebuchets that made them feel fear were once again powerful, and each round of trebuchet firing took away countless brothers around them.
Lin Wei wanted to retreat at this time, but, thinking of Liu Xing's ruthlessness, he gritted his teeth and stuck to the position not far from the car formation, and waited for Han Yu's army to rush and kill with the help of the fallen carriage.
Lin Wei knew in his heart that once these people after their break were out of battle, the Han troops on both sides would directly trap them all in the central area, and at that time, they would not even have a chance to escape.
Lin Wei and his brothers were killed very miserably, and there were almost no Ai Hu on the side of the four masters, and the soldiers of the Han army led by Gongsun Xu were very demoralized, and they even launched an attack on them condescendingly.
Whether it is equipment or strength, the bandits under Ai Hu are inferior to the Han soldiers on Gongsun Xu's side, and after a few rounds of impact, Ai Hu is already a little unable to withstand it.
Ai Hu had already had many wounds on his body, but Ai Hu still gritted his teeth and guarded a hundred meters outside the Jiapi ditch to prevent the Han soldiers from rushing over.
Some of the thieves in Jiapigou had already entered Jiapigou more than two miles away, and they saw Gongsun Xu and their soldiers occupying the high slopes on both sides, and began to flee back frantically, so that a chaotic situation was formed in the whole valley.
Gongsun Xu and some Han soldiers were at the forefront of Jiapigou, they went down the mountain to kill too fast, there was a kind of sandwich situation, in this pile, there were Han soldiers, there were also crazy bandits, the archers on the top of the mountain could not lock on to the person, so that the rain of arrows gradually stopped.
Zhao Yun stood at the top of the hillside, and after seeing Gongsun Xu rushing down the hillside, he kept shooting the bandit leaders who rushed towards Gongsun Xu with his bow and arrow.
Zhao Yun was quite speechless about Gongsun Xu's recklessness, and he didn't understand how a shrewd person like Gongsun Xu could risk his life and make such a low-level charging decision.
At the bottom of the Jiapi Valley, the battle was very fierce, and those bandits from Longshou Mountain knew in their hearts that they could not escape from the other end of the Jiapi Ditch at all, and only by rushing to the entrance of the Jiapi Ditch and being with Liu Xing's brigade could they have a chance to escape.
After the unilateral slaughter of the Han army in Xiangping for a while, they also fought out bloody, forgot the fear of death one by one, and began to launch the most tragic attack on those Han soldiers.
The number of Han soldiers far exceeded that of the bandits in Longshou Mountain, and they acted in unison, with a battle formation that specialized in killing the enemy in groups.
This kind of battle formation is the cross-attack mode that Han Yu gave them, and when there are more people fighting and fewer people, these soldiers cross-attack.
The battle squads formed small battle formations and strangled the bandits trapped in the battle formation.
On one side is a well-trained elite army, on the other side is a thief who lost his morale and fled for his life.
After Gongsun continued to rush down the mountain, he killed several bandits with the steel knife in his hand, and he was happy in his heart.
Since Gongsun Xu crossed over to the end of the Han Dynasty, it was the first time that Gongsun Xu killed the enemy with a steel knife with his own hands, not only did he not have the feeling of wanting to vomit when he killed someone for the first time, but he surged with an unknown surprise.
Just when Gongsun Xu picked up a thief's spear and opened a transparent hole in the thief's body, seven or eight thieves suddenly jumped out from behind a big stone on his side and rushed towards Gongsun Xu frantically.
