Chapter 334: Rain of Arrows
At this time, in the grass about two hundred meters away from Cao Bianjiao and others, Li Zicheng's voice sounded abruptly, and the pressure was extremely low, like a mosquito buzzing.
"Zhang Nai, send someone to inform the troubled king Lin Yangcheng over there, once Cao Bianjiao and the others enter the range of the ambush, immediately release arrows and shoot them all."
Immediately, a low voice sounded and responded: "But, boss, Cao Wenzhao's infantry is still far away, if we launch an attack now and shoot Cao Bianjiao and the others, will they be frightened away, which will greatly reduce the success of this time." ”
"No, if the Shuangcao is too close, it will be difficult to clean up. If the King of the Troubled Times, Guo Tianxing and the others raise doubts, you can directly tell them that once Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao meet together, they can cooperate with each other, and the infantry and cavalry will be combined, and the casualties of the coalition army will increase significantly. Moreover, once Cao Bianjiao was besieged and suddenly attacked, Cao Wenzhao, as an uncle, could not ignore it and would definitely come to support. When the time came, the coalition forces immediately divided into two groups, isolated them, and broke them one by one. ”
"Yes, boss, Zhang Nai understands!"
Immediately, there was a sound of stumbling footsteps, and someone tiptoed away.
After a while, when there was silence all around, a cloud-piercing arrow suddenly appeared, piercing the sky, accompanied by a neighing sound tearing the air, on both sides of the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao, the rebels rushed out of the grass, bent their bows and shot arrows, the whole action was done in one go, crisp and neat, but it was the time of the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers had no time to react at all, and the arrows had already arrived in front of them.
Whoa...
Arrows are like rain, dense like forests, enveloping the overwhelming momentum, instantly covering the area where Cao Bianjiao and others are located, and after the whistling sound, there are all kinds of screams and exclamations.
"Ah~ not good... There is an ambush! ”
"Quick, get through this area!"
"Don't panic, stay in formation, don't stop anything, rush into that woods, and we'll be safe."
"Quick, send out a distress signal!"
......
Li Zicheng and the others no longer hid their figures, they stood up one after another, looking at the officers and soldiers who were constantly fleeing and evacuating, Li Zicheng's face showed surprise, nodded lightly, and said with a little approval: "It is worthy of being the elite of the official army, Cao Bianjiao really has two brushes, just with this ability to adapt to emergencies, he should not be just a small guerrilla general." ”
Zhang Nai was on the side, without Li Zicheng's calm and calm expression, and said anxiously: "Boss, according to the current situation, if you only rely on dense bows and arrows, it will be difficult to kill all the officers and troops of Cao Wenzhao. ”
"Of course." Li Zicheng responded lightly, and then said: "If this elite of the imperial court is killed in this way, it is too simple, it is simply unworthy of the name, it is too exaggerated, and it has long been strangled by other rebel armies." ”
"So~ Boss, what should we do next? Do you want to stop shooting with bows and arrows and kill them directly? ”
"No, no..."Li Zicheng shook his index finger lightly, and said slowly: "Continue to shoot arrows, don't stop, let the infantry press up at the same time, until the infantry is close to Cao Bianjiao and the others, and then stop shooting with bows and arrows." ”
"Oh, boss, my subordinates understand, with the suppression of bows and arrows, it will be easier for our people to approach Cao Bianjiao and the others and surround them." Zhang Nai's eyes lit up, revealing a sudden look, as if he had thought of something, and even asked: "Boss, do you want to notify the Heavenly Star and the King of the Troubled Times and let them do the same?" ”
"No, Guo Tianxing and the King of Troubled Times and others are all smart people, experienced in a hundred battles, what kind of scene have you not seen? As soon as they see what we are doing, they immediately understand it, and they will do it. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zicheng's words paused, looked back at Zhang Nai, and turned to say with a solemn expression: "You go and inform Leader Gao, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and ask them to immediately lead troops to support the other leaders of the rebel army, and be sure to surround Cao Wenzhao, and not wait for him to have the slightest chance to escape." ”
"Yes, boss, my subordinates will go!"
At the same time, although Cao Bianjiao, who commanded everyone to rush out, was calm and unhurried, he was restless in his heart, brandishing a big knife while constantly observing the surroundings, and when he saw that the rebel army was approaching, he was even more anxious.
"Don't run around, don't stay on the horse anymore, a team of eight, a group of four, take turns swinging swords to block arrows, alternate rest, don't mess up......"
As Cao Bianjiao repeated the order over and over again, the officers and soldiers had stabilized, dismounted one after another, and moved forward slowly, swinging their knives in an organized turbulent stream to block the arrows that were being shot, and taking turns to rest and act in turn.
Whoa...
Finally, Cao Bianjiao led everyone to rush out of the area covered by the rain of arrows, and the survivors were less than half of the original, even so, there were still many people with arrows on their bodies, and their morale fell to the lowest point for a while.
However, they were not allowed to rest for a while, take a breath, and suddenly, a large group of rebels suddenly appeared in front of them, densely packed, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. Then he shouted: "Flee separately, one can escape, everything depends on the individual's creation." ”
As soon as the words fell, Cao Bianjiao was like a cheetah ready to attack, erupted violently, and rushed out in an instant, heading straight to the direction of the barren grass and dense forest diagonally opposite, and his movements were extremely fast.
The other side was none other than Guo Tianxing and others.
"Haha... Cao Bianjiao, you also have today! Guo Tianxing laughed loudly, and when he saw the officers and soldiers fleeing in all directions, his heart became more and more agitated, and he felt smug, and then shouted: "Everyone obeys the order, capture Cao Bianjiao alive for me, and if the others don't surrender, all of them will be killed!" ”
At this moment, if Li Zicheng is here, when he hears these words, he will definitely have the urge to scold his mother, or at least reprimand him together.
"You're a fool, TMD is a stupid X, now at this time, both sides are in a life-and-death relationship, stupid hanging things, capturing people alive will only increase your own casualties! Fool, giving such a stupid order is equivalent to giving someone a talisman, and they have to let them escape! ”
However, Li Zicheng was not here, and no one scolded Tianxing for these words, causing the rebels to waste an opportunity in vain, allowing a difficult mortal enemy to escape.
Obviously, more than 10,000 people besieging hundreds of officers and soldiers, no less than a giant pinching a bed bug to death, is simply a trivial matter, and it is no wonder that Guo Tianxing would give such an order.
In addition to those who were injured, Cao Bianjiao led the survivors to rush in different directions, fighting separately, hoping to get out of the battlefield and escape from this place.
Not every officer and soldier has the determination to see death as home, and not everyone has the arrogance of a soldier like Cao Bianjiao, and some of the survivors, as soon as they saw the locust-like rebel army, surging like a tide, immediately raised their weapons and surrendered, kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff, their faces like earth, and their mouths were constantly begging for mercy.
Li Zicheng had already left this battlefield and took the Li family army straight to another battlefield to support Gao Yingxiang and others to besiege and kill Cao Wenzhao.
