~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soldiers are very fast, especially when it comes to recovering a carbine. Zuo Yuan gathered all the 100 Pi soldiers in the fort, and then summoned the Xiapi soldiers from the two nearby dock walls, with a total of 200 people, and there was still a team far away, so he couldn't wait, so he had to give up. Their weapons were all provided by the Mi clan, and they were all equipped with reference to the county soldiers: there were 30 pairs of stone bows, 50 swords of the seven refining rings, 60 spears, 60 long and short halberds, and 20 pairs of wooden shields, which were basically without armor.
These equipment look a little shabby, but you must know that the equipment of most of Cao's infantry is also like this. The equipment of the two sides is similar, but the number of people is twice as large as the Xiapi army, and not only that, but there is also a strong cavalry that has killed them in Huaiyin to help. Every soldier from Zuo Yuan to Xiapi Army is full of confidence and murderous intent.
All the squads of the Xiapi army are stationed in each dock wall, and it is relatively easy to summon them, but the white wolf cavalry is a cavalry, and it is simply a waste to put it in the dock wall. The role of cavalry is to maneuver and patrol, and the cavalry that stays still is not as good as the infantry. Therefore, except for the fifty white wolf horsemen stationed in the fort and rotated regularly, the rest of the hundred horsemen. Scattered on the south bank of Surabaya, shuttling back and forth for patrolling.
To summon back this hundred horsemen who had traveled dozens of miles, of course, it was not an overnight thing. Looking at the anxious Zuo Yuan and Huang Li, Ma Han simply asked them to lead the infantry army first, and he led the cavalry to arrive afterwards - anyway, the cavalry was far faster than the infantry, and maybe they could be the last to come first.
Zuo Yuan and Huang Li thought about it the same way, and immediately put on their armor and took the lead in rushing out of the suspension bridge. Behind him, two hundred soldiers with lotus leaves on their heads, looking green, stepped on a roaring footstep. The smoke and dust were all over the sky, and the murderous spirit rushed towards the direction of the Xihewu wall.
The horse stood at the head of the city, silently watching the servant army go away. At this time, the eagle slave behind him couldn't help but take a step closer and said in a low voice: "City guard, in fact, we have to summon the white wolf warrior brothers and don't need to send fast horses to announce it everywhere, it's too slow." In the words of Xinying, it can be faster than summoning the Pi army......"
Ma Han smiled: "You mean that the red silk plate with the letter eagle is empty, and three red circles are drawn, just to make an emergency." It can be seen within a radius of dozens of miles, and it can be returned to the aid at the first time - this kind of summoning method has been trained many times by the White Wolf Warrior, how can I not know? ”
The eagle slave said in fear: "The city guard knew it earlier, so he must have other plans. It's the eagle slave who has a lot of mouths. ”
Ma Han smiled: "No, you asked a good question, but now I can't give you an answer, maybe." Somebody else will give you the answer. ”
At this time, the white wolf warriors behind him cheered, and the smoke and dust flew in the distance, and the shadows were sufficient. The first batch of white wolf warriors came back.
……
Zuo Yuan and Huang Lizong were anxious, but they did not mess up, kept marching at a uniform speed, and sent the only ten cavalry in the army to go out five miles to explore the road and give early warning to the rear troops.
Marching in such a hot weather is definitely a severe test for an army's Su zhì, the soldiers' bodies are two or three times more than normal, and almost every time they go out for four or five miles, they have to stop and rest and drink water to escape the heat. Just halfway through the trip, the army's on-board water storage tank was empty, so I had to stop and go to the nearest Surabaya to get water.
Although Zuo Yuan was covered in stinky sweat, he didn't dare to hide in the shade of a tree to cool off, and he had to sit in the saddle that could almost burn his buttocks, patrolling back and forth, restraining his subordinates, and stifling the tempting impulse of his subordinates to rush down to Surabaya and take a good bath.
In fact, Zuo Yuan wanted to plunge into the water more than anyone else, but this place was less than ten miles away from the Xihewu wall, once he couldn't resist the temptation, put down his weapon, stripped naked and went into the water, and if he didn't do it, he wouldn't want to go ashore again.
To be honest, these subordinate soldiers of Zhenrong have the bravery, but the military discipline is hehe. The reason why he was able to march on this hot day, and he was able to control his desires, and did not rush down the river in a swarm during rest, was only one reason - the kind of things hurt, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad.
Of the fifty Pi soldiers who were annihilated by Cao's army, many of them were Danyang soldiers, that is, Shanyue soldiers. Shanyue people are not disciplined, but they have the common characteristic of mountain people, that is, unity. Perhaps in the lofty mountains and mountains of Danyang, they often clashed and fought because of the different tribes and villages they belonged to, but once they were recruited and plundered into the army, they would closely unite in the face of the Han army, which had an absolute advantage in the number of people in the barracks.
This is also the reason why Miao Tuo chased and killed Ma Qi and others frantically and did not forgive. But on the other hand, if someone eats them to death by force, then whatever you kill, they will grit their teeth and bear it - just as the horses did to them.
It was precisely because of the perseverance and revenge of these Shanyue soldiers that this army, which was not even disciplined, was able to hold out so far. Of course, there is a limit to this persistence, if the whole march was not twenty miles, but fifty miles, a hundred miles, this Xiapi army would have broken up long ago.
At this time, Huang Li uncomfortably rubbed his blistered buttocks and moved over, and said to Zuo Yuan: "Sima, rest for a while, wait for Captain Madu's cavalry." It's better to be after the Shen time, when the sun is not so poisonous, and then it is better to hurry. ”
Zuo Yuan thought about it reasonably, looked west for a while on the horse, and pointed forward with a whip: "After crossing the small bridge in front, there is a large mountain forest, go there and rest and wait." Well, let the sentry search carefully, and don't be careless. ”
Knowing that they could rest in the woods in front of them, the soldiers who were like dogs sticking out their tongues suddenly lifted their spirits, put the roasted wilted lotus leaves on their heads, grabbed their weapons, and hurried towards the small bridge.
This is a small bridge that is very common in the Surabaya area, with logs and paving as the bridge deck, and the two sides are protected by bamboo, and the water under the bridge is turbid, and the embankment above the water on both sides is cracked like a turtle.
The bridge trembled as the soldiers stepped onto the bridge, but no one cared, so many people poured onto the bridge at the same time. Bridge tremors are normal.
Huang Li led the troops to open the way, and Zuo Yuan delayed the battle. As soon as about 100 people had passed, the bridge trembled violently, and suddenly collapsed without warning, breaking in two. More than a dozen Pi soldiers on the bridge deck screamed and screamed, and they all fell down the river together, turning into mud figures.
This highlighted the change that had happened, and all the soldiers under the Pi were stunned.
Zuo Yuan angrily urged the horse to rush to the embankment, looking at the smooth fracture where the bridge was broken, and his body was exhausted. A chill ran down the spine from the tail to the top door.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to the dock wall! Zuo Yuan screamed in a pitch-shifting voice, and at the same time shouted at Huang Li on the opposite bank, "Huang Li, you lead the brothers to run along the river bank, look for a nearby small bridge and retreat to ......"
It was too late, but I heard the sound of dangdang cymbals in the mountains and forests in the distance, and from far to near, a group of soldiers with spears and halberds poured out of the woods, shouting. Killing.
It's Cao Jun! Ambushed!
Two hundred foot soldiers were enough to be few, and they were divided into two halves by a small river, with less than 100 people on one side, plus ambushes in all directions. Not having to fight is enough to be terrified.
Zuo Yuan and Huang Li, separated by a muddy river, both had the same desperate expression, and shouted the same words hoarsely: "Array! Array! There are also not many enemy troops. The equipment is similar to ours, and they are all foot soldiers, and they are all Danyang elites. It can be broken! ”
If there is still an army in the local army of Xuzhou that dares to confront the Cao army head-on and face off in the field, there is no doubt that it is the Danyang soldiers. Zuo Yuan and Huang Li's department have at least one team of Danyang elite soldiers. Fighting in formation, you may be defeated by the Cao army, which is several times larger, but the violent tiger is by the river, and the trapped beast is still fighting, which will definitely make the Cao army pay the price.
Zuo Yuan and Huang Li really saw that Cao Jun's weapons and equipment and the composition of the troops were indeed similar to them. The most important thing is that Cao's army does not have many troops, at most only five or six hundred. Triple the enemy, can't you run away if you can't win?
The answer is, you really can't run away! Because the Cao army was not divided into two routes, but ambushed in the west of the river, concentrating on attacking the Pi army on the other side of the river, that is, Huang Libu. And so it becomes five hundred, and one hundred. There is a cloud in the art of war, attacking it five times, five times more than the enemy, basically fighting how you want.
Zuo Yuan and the Pi army under his leadership watched as hundreds of brothers on the opposite bank were surrounded by five times the enemy on three sides on the riverbank, and the Xia Pi soldiers on the periphery were stabbed by the Cao army's soldiers such as Lin spear halberds, bursting out with blood mist, and mourning all over the field. The Xiapi soldiers behind kept retreating under the squeezing, fell into the mud of the ditch one after another, and swam towards the east bank with all their might. Of course, the archers of the Cao army were not idle and lively, dozens of bows were spread out in unison, the arrows were shining cold, and the arrows were scattered, and the Xiapi soldiers in the river mud became targets, and the turbid yellow muddy water turned into red muddy water.
Huang Li couldn't escape this time, he didn't even have time to shout surrender, he was pierced through his body by seven or eight spears, and he was forked high, and blood was dripping down the spear shaft.
The will of the Xiapi soldiers was quickly destroyed, and a circle was only halfway formed before it broke up, and the soldiers were divided into groups of three or five, facing the dense Cao army...... At this time, the Danyang soldiers in the Xiapi army finally showed the elite side of the Three Kingdoms.
More than ten Shanyue soldiers, although they were divided into seven or eight places, faced with dozens of times the enemy, they were alone, but they were all fearless of death and killed bravely. Even if his body is full of sharp blades, he must stab the weapon in his hand into the body of at least one enemy soldier before he is willing to fall. The most brave one, even killed seven people, and the Cao soldiers who surrounded him did not dare to come closer, and finally brought in archers to shoot him in the leg, and then he rushed up and split his body in a mess......
Zuo Yuan didn't dare to look any further, he knew that Huang Li's department was annihilated, and it would be his turn next. Now his only chance is to run back to the dock wall before Cao Jun has time to cross the river, the sooner the better!
Nearly 100 miserable remnants of the defeated army had just turned around and ran for five or six miles, and before they could breathe, there was a loud roar in the mountains and forests on one side.
There are ambushes again! Zuo Yuan's eyes were dark, and he almost vomited blood. The soldiers were even more panicked, and they were already in a mess.
This Cao army first threw down more than a dozen Pi soldiers with a flurry of arrows, and then quickly rushed down the hillside and lined up on the road. Spears and halberds, iron swords and shields, bows and arrows, and shiny armor. The number of this Cao army is not much, only 100 people, but the equipment is obviously better than the previous Cao army in Hexi, and even the twenty halberd-wielding soldiers in the front row are wearing two-gear armor. Compared with the general lack of armor among the soldiers of the county in the same period, this is enough to be called a soldier.
In front of this Cao army array, there was a young general with a small stature and short appearance, who did not look good, but his eyes staring at people like leopards foraging for food, and his posture that seemed to be able to bounce up at any time, gave people an extremely vivid impression.
The young army general held a leather shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, took a step forward, and only asked: "Surrender or war?" ”
The dock wall is ten miles ahead, and reinforcements can arrive at any time, how can it be lowered at this time?
Zuo Yuan looked at Cao Jun, who was similar to his own, then turned his head to look at the smoke and dust rising far behind him, gritted his teeth, and roared: "Rush over!" ”
The young army general did not say a word, and jumped out first, and the shield halberd flew. He doesn't need to shout a charge or give an order, his actions are orders. Behind him were the soldiers of the Cao Army who followed closely with steady steps.
With the shouts and movements of the main generals of both sides, the two armies collided together, the Xiapi army was like a wave, the Cao army was like a reef, the waves were broken and the reef did not move. One side wanted to seize the road and flee, but the other side did not give an inch, and the contact surface of the two armies instantly set off a bloody storm.
Swords and halberds are down, spears and arrows fly together, broken limbs and broken spears dance together, and sorrow and blood fly together. Some people were slashed and fell to the ground, trying to get up with all their might, but in the blink of an eye, they were trampled on the level of the ground by countless big feet; Someone stepped on the corpse of his companion from behind, leaping to the enemy's head, but was pierced through the air by a spear like a forest......
The Cao Army's youth army will display a strong force that is extremely disproportionate to his short stature. As soon as the leather shield collides, there will be soldiers who vomit blood and stumble on the ground; When the halberd is stabbed, there will be blood spurting out. He is like a cheetah, agile and fierce, with his minions everywhere, and his blockers have rolled up their flesh and skin, and their tendons and bones are broken. He alone killed nearly twenty Xiapi soldiers, several of whom were Shanyue Ruthless, and the two-grade armor had become blood armor.
Inspired by the brave posture of this young army general and the courage to block the enemy with his body, the morale of the Cao soldiers was high, and they blocked the trapped beast-like Xia Pi soldiers, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
With the stalemate of the battle, the disadvantages of the Xiapi soldiers gradually became apparent: they ran back and forth for no less than 20 miles under the scorching sun, and seven or eight fell from heat stroke alone, and most of their bodies had already been lost. After the initial trapped beast fight was crushed, the morale was exhausted, the combat effectiveness dropped sharply, there were fewer and fewer people who could fight, and more and more people surrendered and shouted for mercy......
Zuo Yuan was riding on a horse, and when he heard the roaring footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, his heart became heavier and heavier. What about Captain Madu? What about the White Wolf Rider? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Why!
At this moment, Zuo Yuan seemed to understand something, and yelled in the direction of the dock wall: "Why-"
Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and a figure jumped into the air, rushing violently. Zuo Yuan was also born as a Danyang Ranger, and as an assassin of Zhenrong, he assassinated many heroes who opposed him. As an Assassin, he naturally reacted more to raids than ordinary people. Zuo Yuan's hand moved, a knife was in his hand, and he struggled to slash diagonally. A halberd full of crumbles was cut off.
The attacker, who had lost his weapon, was extremely brave, flipped his body in mid-air, and actually used his body as an example, and crashed into Zuo Yuan's arms with a pounce, and the two rolled and dismounted at the same time.
Zuo Yuan's chest was stuffy, his eyes were full of stars, and there seemed to be an opponent's figure shaking in front of him.
"Yikes!" Zuo Yuan supported the ground with a knife, struggled to hold up, held the handle of the knife in one hand, and held the knife ring in one palm, combining the strength of his whole body, and even stabbing the opponent with a knife.
Cha! It seems to penetrate the opponent's body. Zuo Yuan didn't have time to be overjoyed, so he felt that something was wrong with his experience of killing, and looked at it - the blade was firmly held under the armpit by the opponent. The next moment, his neck was struck hard by the edge of the shield, and he clearly heard the sound of his neck being broken.
And at this moment, he had already seen clearly that the attacker was the young general of the Cao army.
"You...... Be...... Who ......" Zuo Yuan's mouth and nose were bleeding, and his body slowly leaned forward, but his trembling hand grabbed the belt of his opponent's armor and tried his best not to let himself fall.
The young army general calmly said four words: "Yangping Lejin!" ”
With a flick of his hand, Zuo Yuan fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
