The index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the right hand, protected by deerskin gloves, are hooked together, and the tail of the birch arrow is clamped between the index and middle fingers, and the shaft is placed on the left side of the bow, and the bow is slightly raised, and the arrow is pointed upward.

Zhang Gong took the arrow, hooked the string to open the bow, and the string loosened the arrow, and the seven-foot-long yew longbow was like an arm command in Huangshi's hand, and the whole set of actions was in one breath. In the sound of drums and horns on the battlefield, others seem to only see a remnant, Huangshi has quickly pulled up a long arrow from the ground in front of him, and then opened the bow and pulled the string to release the arrow, only to hear a trembling sound of the bowstring, a streamer flashed through the air, and the yew longbow had completed a shot.

The Yew longbow is more powerful than the elm longbow, and the higher the requirements of the archer, the farther and more powerful the arrows it can fire. Even if the Tongluo people used a round wooden shield covered with cowhide, they couldn't stop a huge blow like a meteor outside the sky. In the middle of the arrow, the shield shattered and the man died. The screams shouted, taking away an unwilling soul.

Standing behind the walled wall on the hillside, Huang Shi, the leader of the team holding the yew longbow given by Yi Feng, had almost reached the last group of archers with the strength of one person. Almost every arrow that came out of his hand was sure to hit. And almost all of the officers who died under his arrows were officers in the Tongluo cavalry. With a good bow in hand, and his superb archery skills, Yellowstone has become a formidable blocker for the enemy. Although there were not many high-ranking leaders who were shot, the leaders of the Wu Commanders who charged forward and commanded were killed countless under him. Within the range of his attack, who rushed fiercely. Whoever dares to command will inevitably not be able to escape his bow and arrows.

In front of the camp on their side of Huangshi, there were a lot of Guluo cavalry that fell.

There are strong camps. Again occupying favorable terrain, the tentative attack of the Tongluo cavalry was repulsed without much effort. The Tongluo cavalry had not even been able to break through the first ditch in front of the Huaihuang camp, and had already retreated like a tide. As if the tide had receded, in front of the trenches of the three camps in the valley, only feathered arrows and more than a hundred corpses were left everywhere, and many more wounded.

Repelling this wave of tentative attacks, the longbowmen were only warmed up. Not even the crossbowmen had yet to be dispatched, let alone the charioteers and cavalry behind.

In front of Taniguchi's camp, on a series of chariots. Heavy infantry lieutenant Chi Gong and pikeman Cheng Yanjin were not even wearing armor at this time, and the two of them were sitting in the chariot compartment with the armor plate not yet propped up in otter skin cloaks, and they were chatting with the crossbowmen in the same car around a brazier. Although the sky was still snowing, they were comfortably enjoying the charcoal fire in the enclosed chariots on all sides. Cheng Yanjin even took a dead panel and cut it. Two pieces of horse jerky were placed in it and grilled. While the fire was being roasted, several people stood up from time to time and looked at the battlefield through the holes of the arrows.

"Retreated." Wei Chigong saw the Tongluo people receding like a tide through the arrow hole, and smacked his lips and said with some disappointment.

"A bunch of cowards." Cheng Yanjin was concentrating on baking his sandwich meatloaf while laughing and scolding in a low voice. All the way from the dam to here, braving the wind and snow, digging camps and ditches here, the result is that although thousands of Tiele people have been killed so far, it is all the results of the longbowmen from beginning to end, and they have nothing to do with them. I thought that the charioteers were in the first line. The fight will definitely be fierce, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for meritorious service. But in fact. By now, the Tieler, who was closest to them, had fallen two hundred paces away from the outermost ditch.

"My greatsword is already hungry and thirsty." Wei Chi Gong sat down again, picked up a piece of oilcloth and began to wipe his hands with the sword of the horse, the sword was very sharp, but he had not drunk the blood of the enemy until now.

Cheng Yanjin continued to concentrate on baking his own cakes, "Actually, I think these Tongluo people are not our opponents at all, how can we be so cautious and cautious in dealing with them, let's kill them directly, how simple." ”

The crossbowman Lao Zhang used to be a bandit, but according to himself, he has been a bandit for 20 years and has never killed anyone. However, his crossbow shot is good, and Lao Zhang is very satisfied with the current situation for the desire of the two young little brothers in the same car, "That's good, we are invincible, no matter what tricks these Tiele people want to play, it's useless." ”

"But if this continues, maybe the Tiele people will retreat, then our trip will be in vain."

"It's not in vain, there is a wartime allowance every day after the army is dispatched." Lao Zhang said with satisfaction.

"Cut, you're satisfied, Lao Zhang, you're too ambitious." Cheng bites the way of Jin Shi.

Lao Zhang didn't care, "You're still too young." But seek no fault, not merit. As long as the capital is there, are you afraid that there will be no chance? It's best for the Tiele people to retreat, so that we can go back too. I've been away from home for a few days, and I'm really a little homesick, and my wife and children are hot on the kang, so it's stable. ”

In the chat, the horn of the Tongluo people whimpered, and the Tongluo people retreated silently. In the camp of the Huaihuang Army, bursts of cheers from the longbowmen resounded. For Wei Chigong and them, such a battle is a little depressing, but for the longbowmen, such a battle is the most ideal. Without the slightest danger, standing in the camp, condescendingly striking at the enemy, collecting a share of the battle merits, but the enemy could not even touch a single hair of their hair. So far, although the war has not been fought yet, they have harvested more than a thousand enemy heads, and these military exploits are all their longbowmen. No matter how hard they fight, they will never get tired of fighting like this, and they can't wait to fight like this.

In the camp on the left side of the valley mouth, the longbowmen of the first team of Huangshi applauded their team leader repeatedly, and the eyes cast on Huangshi were all worship. Their longbow team had been established three months earlier, but the leader of the team had not arrived until before the expedition. They also knew that this team leader had made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Peach Mountain, but everyone also heard that during the Battle of Peach Mountain in Huangshi, he was just a big soldier. For Huang Shi to be selected to study in the teaching team, and he was valued by Yi Shuai when he was studying, and he was promoted from a small soldier to the head of the team for the first time, in fact, there are still many people who are not convinced. Especially the team leaders and team deputy and Yu Hou below him, these were already team leaders when Huangshi was a small soldier, but now they are a new recruit in their eyes in the past, and they have suddenly become their boss. And so young, I'm always unconvinced. During this march, several officers inevitably made some small movements. Huangshi didn't react. The officers in the team thought that Huang Shi was weak, and looked down on him more and more. But in the few battles in Erdaogou, Huang Shi really suppressed all the officers and the longbowmen of the whole team with his archery skills.

Being able to pull up a strong yew bow is nothing, and being able to be selected for the longbow team is basically a no. It may be different to pull a yew bow and pull a horn bow. And in addition to the hard bow that is drawn, it shoots fast. It can shoot so accurately, and the longbow, which was originally more capable of shooting far and killing with a salvo, has been turned into a magic shot that can stop and kill enemy officers. Then it can't be admired.

Huang Shi's longbowmen counted for him, and in these battles, the Huaihuang army shot more than 1,000 Tongluo troops, and Huang Shi alone shot more than a dozen, and half of them were low-level officers like squad leaders. Originally, everyone thought that Huangshi could get a good yew bow given by Yi Shuai. I can't help but feel a little jealous. But after that, who would have such an idea? In the army, everything is false, but this kind of real money strength is really convincing.

The Tongluo people retreated, and the battlefield was still full of battle dead and seriously wounded who could not walk.

A few trumpets sounded, the camp gate at the mouth of the valley opened one after another, and a group of more than 100 ironclad soldiers walked out with a swagger.

There seemed to be some commotion in front of the Tongluo people in the distance. But soon there was silence again, and they watched from afar as the group of ironclad warriors came out of the ditch and fence and the chariot to protect the camp. I don't know what they want to do.

They soon knew what these ironclad warriors were going to do, and these Sui soldiers who came out of the camp quickly walked to the battlefield just now, and then did not pay any attention to the Tongluo people in the distance, just pulled out their sabers like that, and began to clean up the battlefield as if no one was around.

They chopped off all the heads of the Tongluo people left on the battlefield, whether they were dead or alive.

This behavior finally made the Tongluo people who were watching from a distance unbearable, and in a commotion, a group of Tongluo cavalry suddenly rushed over. In the face of these Tongluo cavalry, the group of Sui army armor soldiers was not afraid, they just stopped the action of cutting off their heads, gathered together, and formed a phalanx.

The Tongluo cavalry roared loudly and rushed straight forward, seeing that the arrogant Sui infantry was about to be trampled under their iron hooves. At this moment, there was a sudden buzzing bowstring sound in the air, and then the familiar sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air sounded, and the next moment, the previous team of fierce knights who were still rushing were already covered by a rain of arrows, and the horses neighed and fell to the ground.

Until the last rider fell to the ground, they could not rush in front of the infantry from the beginning to the end.

When the cavalry was all gone, the infantry again took their swords and went to cut off their heads, this time with more heads to be cut off by the cavalry who had just arrived.

Chop off all the heads and carry them back to the camp with baskets full of food like harvested food. After a while they came out again, looking up their heads, and they began to methodically recycle the arrow-feathered weapons and armor, then to cut the horse's flesh, and then to stick the stripped headless corpses into the stakes

Gu Luo has been staring at the movements of the Sui army armor soldiers with a gloomy face since the cavalry squad that rushed out regardless of the military order was submerged under the long arrows. Looking at them was like picking up prey, dividing and insulting the dead in battle, and he could only watch from afar. Finally, with two more rows of stakes and headless corpses stuck in the valley on either side of the valley, he finally spurted out a mouthful of blood. The whole person staggered on the horse and almost fell off the horse.

With a wave of his hand, he pushed away the guards who came to support, and he steadied himself and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The tentative attack just now made Gu Luo see the strength of the Sui army on the opposite side all of a sudden.

Nearly two hundred casualties, the other side was just a few waves of arrows released by longbowmen. More than 200 people were killed and wounded, but the attack did not even get close to the opponent's ditch, the cavalry in the opponent's camp was not even armoured, and the infantry did not even look at their attack.

This fucking has never fought such a shitty battle, never fought such a suffocating battle.

He had the brave Mobei cavalry in his hands, but the other party made his cavalry unable to even get close to the opponent's camp. And he had never seen a bow and arrow like that, and the bow was surprisingly long and powerful.

This battle has not been fought, and it cannot be fought like this. He saw it. As long as the other party holds the camp, even if all his 10,000 people are thrown in, they will not be able to rush into the opponent's camp.

But is this the way to withdraw the troops?

He was very unwilling. Unwilling.

"Drive those Xi captives to fill the ditches of the Sui people." Gu Luo said coldly.

"This? Qi Jin, the longbow of the Sui people is too evil, but I am afraid that it will not work. A commander advised.

"You're teaching me?" Bone Luo Dao.

"Don't dare." The commander was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied.

"Hmph." Gu Luo snorted coldly, "What do I say, just do what you do, it's not your turn to make your own decisions." ”

The Commander stepped back. A moment later, the first batch of 1,000 Xi men and women captives were driven up, and they took their clothes and wrapped soil and walked towards the Sui army. But there was a moment of hesitation. The Tongluo cavalry behind immediately released arrows.

In front of the Huaihuang army.

"Dashuai, what should I do?"

Yi Feng couldn't help frowning as he looked at the Xi captives who moved from the black crows. "Please come over to Su Zhijin."

When Su Zhi came over and saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but bleed.

"Let go of the arrows!" After a moment of silence. Su Zhi finally sighed helplessly. Such a situation. What can he say. Of course he wanted to save his people, but he couldn't. I didn't dare to let Yi Feng save it, it was unrealistic, and I didn't dare to let Yi Feng not release the arrow. Yi Feng called him over, instead of directly releasing the arrow, which was actually an explanation for him. Otherwise, even if Yi Feng released the arrow directly, he would not have anything to say.

Yi Feng nodded. It's a cruel situation, but war is so ugly. For victory. No matter how ugly the means are, someone will use them, and whoever is soft-hearted at this time can only be trampled into the mud with his sympathy in the end.

Under the persecution of the Tongluo people, the Xi captives got closer and closer, and finally approached the front of the ditch.

The Tongluo people who were in the back were uneasy, and when they saw that the Sui army had not released the arrows, they just breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at this moment, a trumpet sounded, the bowstring was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly the arrows rained down.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 1,000 Xi prisoners and more than 100 Tongluo soldiers fell under the arrows of the longbowmen.

The battlefield was as quiet as death for a while.

"Hahaha!" Gu Luo suddenly laughed wildly, and then waved his hand, "Come again!" ”

Another thousand Xi men, women, and young captives were driven forward, Gu Luo stared at the Sui military camp with a hideous face, "Kill, kill, kill a thousand, I'll give you another thousand, Lao Tzu has more than 10,000 in his hand, all help me kill it, just so Lao Tzu can throw off this burden and retreat." By the way, you can also consume the arrows of the Sui people, and consume the body of the archers of the Sui people, why not. ”

"The general is clever!" At this time, the commander who was trained just now had a suddenly realized expression on his face, and he offered his sycophants in a loud voice.

A thousand Xi people were driven forward, and finally covered with arrow feathers in front of the ditch.

As soon as this side died, the Tongluo cavalry drove another batch up. One group died, and another group came up. By the end, a thick layer of corpses had been stacked in the valley, and blood was flowing from the pestle.

Before the last Xi captive was killed, Gu Luo did not stop, Su Zhi did not make a sound, and Yi Feng did not stop it. While driving people to death, they kept killing until there was no one left.

Gu Luo was taking revenge on the Xi people, and he was also preparing for retreat, after seeing the strength of the Sui army, he knew that even if he retreated, it was not safe, so he did not plan to retreat with a group of prisoners at all. Since he didn't plan to bring it, he would never let go of this group of prisoners like this, so he simply rushed over and killed them all with the help of the Sui army. A stroke of borrowing a knife to kill people may still be able to divide the feelings between the Sui army and the Xi people, and secondly, as he said to his subordinates just now, it can also consume the arrows of the Sui army and the bodies of the archers. And Yi Feng is not soft-hearted, and he is not in charge of the army. To kill one is to kill, to kill one hundred and one thousand is also to kill, to kill one person is to kill, and to slaughter ten thousand is to be male. Slaughtered nine million, that is, the male of the male. The world is like this, Yi Feng will never risk the lives of his subordinates for the sake of these ridiculers.

He would not risk sending troops out of the camp to take these people under the iron cavalry of the Tongluo people, that was taking a risk, relying on the location and the camp, the Huaihuang army completely suppressed the Tongluo people. But if you leave the favorable camp that has been arranged long ago, and the Huaihuang army goes to confront the Tongluo cavalry, this is a foolish and a senseless sacrifice. Although Xi people are also lives, in Yi Feng's heart, life is also hierarchical, and Xi people's lives are definitely not as valuable as the lives of his subordinates. If he ventures out to war, and when the time comes, he will be rescued and his own soldiers will be lost, who will make up for him? And I am most afraid of what if, if I am reversed and defeated by the Tongluo cavalry because of the risk, it will be regretted.

However, although Yi Feng is in this era, his state of mind is much stronger. But in the end, looking at the corpses all over the ground, his heart was still full of sadness and anger. Several times, he wanted to give the order to kill, but in the end he held back. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, after all, the Huaihuang Army is still a new army, if there is a strong camp, the defense is okay. If you take the initiative to give up the camp and go to fight against the fierce Mobei cavalry, this is to use your weaknesses to challenge the opponent's strengths.

"Swear to destroy Tongluo in this life!" Su Zhi's lips had been bitten, and he said hatefully, swearing to the sky.

Wei Zheng stood beside Yi Feng and whispered, "Tong Luo is planning to withdraw his troops, if he guesses well, Tong Luo will take advantage of the darkness to withdraw his troops tonight." ”

Yi Feng's heart moved, and he snorted coldly: "I want to leave if I pretend to be forced, it's not so easy!" ”

"What?" Wei Zheng asked.

"You can't let the wolf cub run away like that!" (To be continued......)
