In the dark night, a team of more than 1,000 people appeared in the wilderness in the vast mountains.

The place where they lined up was near the river.

The gurgling river passed by them, and the sound of "whooshing" water echoed in everyone's ears.

More than a thousand men armed with iron swords or rudimentary short spears looked at them from a distance, and they were already very close to them.

There was no campfire ahead, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, but they knew very well that there was a team there, a team waiting for them to come forward and fight!

Thousands of men, facing a team of no more than 100 people, of course, have the confidence of absolute victory.

In the scattered array, some men were even playing with their fingers or fiddling with the corners of their clothes.

Confronting them were less than 100 guards led by Wang Zhen.

The long swords of the guards were still inserted in the scabbards, and they held strong crossbows in their hands, and arrows had been set up on the strong crossbows, and the tips of the arrows were aimed at the direction of the men's array.

Two opposing teams, facing each other from afar, but unable to see each other.

At the same time, Liu Wei took dozens of Taojiazhuang teenagers to a place a little farther away from Wang Zhen and others.

Squatting by the river, Liu Wei looked around at the teenagers beside him and asked them, "Do you want to participate in this fight?" ”

The teenagers looked at each other one by one, they were still a little afraid in their hearts, but they thought that they would eventually join the Han army in the future, and they would eventually go into battle to kill the enemy, and in the end all the teenagers nodded.

"You're still young now!" Looking at the teenagers, Liu Wei said to them: "If you fight with the enemy, you will not have an advantage in body. I lead you to take advantage of the night, sneak to the flank, and wait until they are fighting to the death with our army, and you wait to shoot arrows at their rear. Remember, don't rush to kill! ”

After listening to Liu Wei's instructions, the teenagers all nodded in response.

Waving at them, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said, "Go!" ”

Dozens of black shadows, taking advantage of the night, quietly touched towards the array of thieves who confronted the guards.

They didn't touch the side of the thief array, but stopped at the boundary in the middle of the two teams, and hibernated in the grass, quietly waiting for the two sides to fight.

The guards led by Wang Zhen were holding strong crossbows, although the place where the thieves lined up was already within the range of the strong crossbows, they did not immediately pick off the machine springs.

The environment was too dark, and the opponent did not attack, but by feeling, they were not sure that they would be able to shoot too many opponents.

There are not many arrows in the quiver, and they must cherish each arrow, and after launching a charge in the place, they will shoot the arrows as much as possible to inflict maximum damage on the other side.

The thieves are different from the regular army under the command of Haoxiong.

Their equipment is rudimentary, and they don't even have shields!

Such a team is more than enough to bully the people, but once they face a real army, they are just a group of lambs to the slaughter, and even the ability to fight back will be quickly destroyed!

The guards of less than 100 people all know very well in their hearts that in the face of such a team, they will win today!

The only difference is how to win this battle, and how to expand the results after winning!

Holding a long sword, staring at the dark night, Wang Zhen's face was solemn.

Although the other party is a group of rabble, she still doesn't dare to be careless!

Finally, with the sound of a small river, she heard footsteps.

The footsteps were very noisy, and although they were chaotic, they also had a certain frequency, and it was obvious that the other party had started to move.

"Did you hear that?" Hearing footsteps, she asked the guards with their crossbows.

They all responded, and the guards held the crossbow's hands more flat, aimed at the eyes in front of them, and all of them also picked their fingers on the machine springs, just waiting for Wang Zhen to give an order, and then they could shoot the arrows.

Holding his breath and quietly listening to the movement in front of him, Wang Zhen raised his arm, and his brows gradually twisted.

She didn't immediately press her arm down, but seemed to be waiting for something.

Finally, she slammed her arm down and shouted, "Shoot the arrow!" ”

From the footsteps of the other party as they marched, Wang Zhen heard that the frequency was getting faster and faster, and it was obvious that the other party had changed from walking to trotting.

Once you trot, the distance between the two sides will quickly close, and if you don't fire arrows at this time, what awaits the guards will be a direct face-to-face slash!

The sound of "whooshing" arrows breaking through the air sounded in the night, and one after another feathered arrows flew towards the oncoming thieves wrapped in the strong wind.

The thief, who did not have a shield to cover his figure, rushed forward with the arrows, and was instantly knocked over by the first wave of arrows.

The Han army's strong crossbow was extremely powerful, and when it hit the men in the charge, the whole man was carried up by the strength of the arrows.

The people in front fell, and the people behind were immediately stunned.

Before leaving, Lao Liu and the others told them that what they had to face was just a group of civilians who could only stretch their necks and wait for them to slaughter, and at best, there were only a dozen or so capable ones.

But before they could charge, they sensed that something was wrong.

The opponent is equipped with a powerful crossbow!

Some men have also gone into the mountains to hunt wild beasts, and they also know that the arrows fired by the strong crossbow generally keep parallel flight, while the arrows shot by the longbow will mostly draw an arc in a curved arc.

Even though it was night, the men could feel that the oncoming arrows were flying at a parallel speed.

Hit their companions, the arrows were already extremely powerful.

Such an arrow will only be fired by a strong crossbow, not a longbow.

The young men of Taojiazhuang, who were lying dormant on the side of the road, heard the thieves charge, but the guards only fired arrows from a distance, and they all put their feather arrows on the bowstring.

Liu Wei, who led the teenagers to lie dormant on the side of the road, saw several teenagers next to him set up a meeting on the longbow, pressed the hand of one of the teenagers, and whispered to him: "Don't be impatient!" ”

The hand was pressed by Liu Wei, and the young man looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Without giving the young man any explanation, Liu Wei's gaze always stayed on the thief who launched the charge.

Under the night, although the sound of killing was already earth-shattering in the distance, and there were still screams of many people when they were shot by arrows, in the sight of Liu Wei and others, it was a black and dark vastness, and at most some figures could only be vaguely seen shaking.

The boys had already placed their arrows on the bowstring, but Liu Wei never gave them the order to shoot the feathered arrows.

Following the current emperor, the teenagers didn't dare to make a mistake, so they could only hold their breath one by one, quietly waiting for Liu Wei to give an order.

The guards led by Wang Zhen kept hanging arrows on the crossbows and shot a puff of feathered arrows at the charging enemy.

They were too few in number to shoot arrows to envelop a large number of opponents, but with each puff of feathered arrows, the thieves in the charge would fall.

Seeing that the thieves rushed to a place only twenty paces away from them, and the figure could faintly see some, Wang Zhen pointed the long sword in his hand diagonally upwards and shouted to the guards: "Soldiers, kill with me!" ”

With her order, the guards threw their crossbows on the ground, drew their long swords at their waists, shouted, and rushed out with Wang Zhen.

There were many people on the other side, and the guards who rushed up to meet them were not a little busy because of the small number of people!

Guarding the Luoyang Palace, they have practiced a swordsmanship that is not inferior to the dragoon guards, but the guards don't have much opportunity to fight with people!

They had been born and died on the battlefield in their early years, and they had enjoyed peace for too long, and the long sword in their hands could not help but want to drink the blood of the enemy.

Thieves are not formidable enemies!

In the face of such an opponent, the guards not only did not panic at all, but also faintly felt a little lost.

Feel disappointed that your opponent is too weak!

Soon, the conjecture in the hearts of the guards was completely confirmed!

Rushing towards the thieves with a long sword, the two sides collided in one place, the thieves were numerous, but the attack was very weak.

On the contrary to them, the guards of less than 100 people, under the leadership of Wang Zhen, were like a group of fierce tigers coming out of the mountain, and soon cut a long hole in the opponent's array.

The long sword flew up, and silver arcs of light flashed in the dark night.

With every arc of light, there will always be a thief who is cut to the ground.

Because the distance was not very close, Liu Wei could not see clearly the scene of the guards fighting with the enemy, he could only rely on the shouts from the fighting place to judge which was better or worse in the battle!

"Shoot at the enemy's rear and shoot arrows!" Raising his hand and pointing to the place where the two sides were fighting, Liu Wei finally gave the order to release the arrow.

The teenagers, who had long been unable to hold back, loosened the bowstring of their longbows one after another.

With the bowstrings trembling slightly, feathered arrows flew out wrapped in the strong wind.

The thieves, who were pushing towards the guards and wanted to take advantage of their numbers, did not expect that there were dozens of people in ambush behind their flanks.

The teenagers hunt in the mountains and forests all year round, and they have long practiced a good skill in archery.

The feather arrows flew out, and suddenly a group of thieves were shot to the ground.

Compared with strong crossbows, bows and arrows have the disadvantages of short range and insufficient lethality, but they also have the advantage of being able to reload quickly and be flexible.

Especially in the hands of these young men who have been hunting all year round, the bow and arrow are even more magical by them, and every time they shoot an arrow, a piece of thieves will fall.

The guards who collided with the thieves also slashed at each other with the long swords in their hands.

A thief with an iron sword screamed and rushed at a guard who had just slain his opponent, trying to slash the guard to the ground with a sword from behind.

Hearing the shouts behind him, the guard didn't even look back, and the wrist holding the long sword flipped over, the tip of the sword pointed backwards, and poked violently!

The thief held the sword in both hands, and before he could slash it, the abdomen was pierced by the guard's long sword.

Looking at the guard in front of him with a stunned face, the thief was about to chop the long sword, but his hands couldn't even exert the slightest strength, and the moment the guard pulled out the long sword, he fell crookedly to the side.
