?? The ambush came so suddenly that almost all the soldiers didn't react.

Commander Cao is the same, he supported Commander Wu by holy order, and strived to rush to the battlefield location in the shortest possible time, there was no time to release scouts to investigate and explore the way ahead, and the other is that this is the territory near the Glory Country, and no one would have imagined that someone would ambush them here.

Countless arrows flew over like locusts, and Commander Cao suddenly shouted: "Quickly form a formation!" ”

All the soldiers had quickly assembled, and Commander Cao turned over and dismounted, and beside him, many of the soldiers who followed were shot by arrows and then fell.

A soldier clutched his throat, red blood and despair on his face.

Commander Cao didn't dare to be careless at this time, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Formation!" ”

The sword and shield soldiers in the rear hurriedly moved over with their shields and blocked the front, and a famous sword and shield soldier reacted and blocked all the shields in front of them, forming a wall, and the sound of bells and bells was endless, and the arrows shot from the dense forest were all hit on these bronze shields.

Seeing that most of the arrows were missing, Commander Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the pressure on the rest of the soldiers also decreased.

Archers are definitely the most indispensable class of troops in the Cold Weapon Era, and arrows are also hated by many generals, and the lethality rate is more efficient than the rest of the troops.

For example, the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period, there are countless people who died of arrow wounds, Sun Jian, known as the tiger of Jiangdong, experienced the battle against Dong Zhuo, was powerful, and had several generals, but he was ambushed by Liu Biao and died by an arrow at the age of thirty-seven.

Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, known as the "Little Overlord of Jiangdong", had the courage of ten thousand people, but was injured by the assassin's sneak attack and was shot by the arrows, and the arrow sores broke and died;

Zhang He, the general of Cao Wei's five sons, was ambushed at the wooden gate, and the flying arrow hit Zhang He's right knee and died; Sima Shi, the son of Sima Yi and a minister of Cao Wei, had outstanding military talents, and once used a plan to defeat the army of Zhuge Ke of Wu in the Battle of Xincheng, and was wounded by an arrow in the eye, and finally died of an arrow wound.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Xu Huang and other famous generals who had experienced a hundred battles also died of arrows, some died on the spot, and some died incurably.

One of the important reasons is that in the era of cold weapons, most of the arrows were made of bronze, iron and other metals, and the design was very ingenious, with barbs. The worst thing is that the arrows in ancient times were very unclean, such as rust, dirt, and even feces and poisons, which caused very serious wound infections.

Moreover, in ancient times, the level of medical skills was very low, and there was a lack of timely debridement treatment, and there was no antibiotic sterilization, and the wound was often seriously infected after being sent back to the camp, and purulent infection after trauma was a relatively common disease in traumatic infection. Purulent infections include sepsis, sepsis, and toxemia, and septic shock can occur, which is the largest cause of death.

Even if Guan Yu was shot by a stray arrow, he asked Hua Tuo to scrape the bone to cure the poison, and after the wound healed, every rainy day, the bone would still feel pain.

Heroes are afraid of cold arrows, this is something that can't be helped, Zhao Zilong is in and out of Changban Slope seven times in and seven out, if it weren't for Cao Cao's talent and order not to release arrows, it is estimated that Zhao Yun can come out of Changban Slope alive, it is still unknown.

In the game, the influence of arrow trauma is greatly weakened, although it will not be fatal, but the negative status impact is also quite serious, such as the upper limit of blood volume, the upper limit of energy, the decline of attributes, and even some hidden attributes, the defensive power will decrease.

Commander Cao quickly commanded: "Form a formation, prepare to move forward, bow and arrow ready!" ”

He was wearing armor and looking at the enemy troops in ambush on the mountain in front of him, still shooting wildly, condescendingly, and the arrows covered a wide area, so that the soldiers on his side were still dying.

Whoosh!

One arrow after another, with the sound of a cold man, shot past Commander Cao's ears.

"Ren Yuan, you immediately lead someone to organize a team of men and horses, attack from the side of this mountain, and you must immediately take down that group of enemy troops for me!"

"Yes!"

A partial general stood up and clenched his fists, and with a part of the soldiers, quickly moved to the side.

In the entire army, the sword and shield soldiers in front were densely packed, forming an absolute defensive phalanx, and those archers behind also began to fight back, pulling their bows and arrows one after another, shooting towards the hill in front.

It's just that they are below, and the members of the Shanzi Army and others are on the mountain, shooting arrows from the bottom up, and the hit rate is too low.

The prince Bai Yu stayed on the mountain, his eyes were full of calmness, the longbow in his hand was full, and an arrow swished out, directly piercing the head of a soldier below.

Looking down from the mountain, down the hill in front, thousands of soldiers were in a mess, chaotic, the sword and shield soldiers in front were resisting the arrows, and at the same time, half of the soldiers had been drawn out, moving from the formation to the left, and then began to climb towards the mountain.

Prince Bai Yu's expression was still extremely serious, and many soldiers of the Shanzi Army on the side had already pushed down the prepared rolling stones down the mountain on the other side.

Bang bang bang!

The rolling stones fell down and the soldiers who rushed up the hill along the road suddenly changed their faces.

Ren Yuan also yelled: "Get out of the way!" ”

He ran to the side, and some of the soldiers behind him were running slowly, that is, they were directly hit by the falling rolling stones.

"Ahh

The soldiers screamed, and the rolling stones fell from above, and Ren Yuan and some soldiers hid behind the trees, waiting for the other party's rolling stones to finish.

"There are not many people on the other side, as long as we rush up the mountain, we can definitely kill them!"

Ren Yuan yelled, inspiring morale.

On the mountain, Prince Bai Yu's gaze fell into the distance, and there, Wang Xuan, who left first, had already appeared, and it was a cavalry with the Shanzi army!

After this period of looting in Pingyuan County, the number of war horses of the Shanzi Army has reached 1,500, after all, there are not many others in Pingyuan County, and the resources of war horses and livestock are extremely rich.

And now, the armed cavalry of the Shanzi Army, under the leadership of Wang Xuan, actually appeared from behind thousands of soldiers such as Commander Cao!

Commander Cao obviously also discovered that behind them, a group of thousands of murderous cavalry rushed towards them!

At this moment, Commander Cao's eyes widened, and there was disbelief on his face.

What's going on, how can the other side still have cavalry?

And also around the rear attack?

All kinds of problems appeared in the head of Commander Cao, at this time, because in order to prevent the arrows on the mountain in front of him, almost all the defensive strength of the sword and shield soldiers was transferred to the front end, and the archers and the rest of the soldiers at the back end of the team were basically archers and the rest of the soldiers, and without the defense of the sword and shield soldiers, it was like opening the door, completely exposing their weaknesses to the eyes of the opposing cavalry.

Moreover, just now he also sent some soldiers to attack the mountain, and the strength was greatly reduced, and now the opponent's cavalry appeared from behind, how can this be fought?

It was too late, and Commander Cao shouted bitterly: "The sword and shield soldiers go to the back to defend against the enemy!" ”

The horse's hooves were flying, and Wang Xuan's cavalry, in just a blink of an eye, had already come to the rear of the team, and the long knife in his hand had been drawn, exuding a cold glow.

It was too late for the sword and shield soldiers to be deployed, and the whole team was in disarray, and all the soldiers were panicked in the face of the cavalry charge.

"Kill!"

Wang Xuan yelled.

He took the lead in killing in, the long knife in his hand with a cold glow, slashed forward, the soldier couldn't hold on, and was directly slashed to death by a knife, the soldier in front of him was directly knocked out by the galloping horses, and the soldiers on the left and right sides were slashed and killed by Wang Xuan, and almost no one could stop him.

The cavalry around him, like the army of tigers and wolves, rushed into a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and the already chaotic team was torn apart by more than a thousand cavalrymen, and the morale of those soldiers began to decrease.

The prince Bai Yu and the others on the mountain have also stopped shooting arrows, and all the arrows have been shot, and now it is time to carry out a flanking attack at the same time.

He got up, and with more than 3,000 soldiers of the Shanzi Army on the mountain, they also stood up one after another and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.

Ren Yuan, the deputy general halfway up the mountain, and those soldiers had just recovered from the rolling stones, and when they saw that there were no rolling stones attacking on the mountain, they continued to charge towards the mountain, but at this time, a soldier on the mountain rushed down quickly!

"Kill!"

Prince Bai Yu drew his knife, and the soldiers of the Shanzi Army behind him also drew out their weapons for close combat, and rushed down the mountain from the mountain!

At this moment, all the soldiers of the Shanzi Army, because they rushed down from a high place, the momentum on their bodies was stimulated, the speed was extremely fast, and the killing intent was soaring, and Ren Yuan and the others were all shocked.

"Defend against the enemy! Defend against the enemy! ”

Ren Yuan shouted, but it was useless, all the soldiers of the Shanzi Army rushed down from the mountain, there were thousands of people, like a torrent, Ren Yuan and the rest of the soldiers fought with the soldiers of the Shanzi Army, they were at a disadvantage.

There was a cold glint in the eyes of the prince Bai Yu, and a soldier below raised the spear in his hand, and he slashed head-on with a thunderous momentum in the midst of a wild run.

Burst!

Blood burst out, and the soldier didn't scream miserably, and fell directly, and the prince Bai Yu slashed towards the enemy next to him with a knife.

The rest of the soldiers of the Yakuji Army who rushed down were also in the first moment of the confrontation, that is, they all cut down those enemy troops, and the momentum was so violent, the enemy troops who were also C-level legions were not opponents.

The Art of War: "Under the high view, the momentum is like splitting bamboo," which is what it means.

In history, the most well-known military general who wanted to adopt this strategy was Ma Tan, Zhuge Liang sent him to guard the street pavilion, but he took the initiative to station his soldiers on the mountain, and was finally defeated by Zhang He.

Ma Tan's stationing was not the same as that of the Shanzi Army, Zhuge Liang's intention at that time was only to defend the street pavilion, not to retreat from the enemy, but to hold the position for a long time, and there was no room for mistakes.

But Ma Tan wanted to fight according to the mountain, when the Wei army rode 50,000 people, and the main force of the Shu army was attacking Qishan, Ma Tan's troops were seriously insufficient, so he wanted to defend according to the mountain, the Shu army was high and down, and he could also play a beautiful defensive counterattack with ease and work. This clashed with Zhuge Liang's military intentions.

At the same time, the second purpose of his strategy is to put it to death and come back to life, imitating the shipwreck and fighting against the water. But at that time, Xiang Yu and Han Xin had no choice, and Ma Jian took the initiative to give up the water source by cutting off the back road. You must know that the street pavilion is also known as the street spring pavilion, there is spring water, originally the Shu army relied on the spring water and did not have to worry about the water at all, if the road camped then the Shu army had the strategic initiative, Zhang He had to attack in order to save Qishan. And Ma Tan took the initiative to give up the water source and defend the lonely mountain, which is equivalent to giving the initiative to others, and Zhang He cut off the water source, it became Ma Tan had to attack, and it was extremely unwise to give up the strategic initiative in order to put it to death and survive.

Moreover, this kind of strategy of destroying the cauldron and leaving it to death is a strategy to explode in the short term and boost morale, but Zhang He's troops surrounded the mountains and cut off the water, and after a long time, these morales were directly consumed.

To put it simply, Ma Jian is almost a model of paper talk.

The soldiers of the Shanzi Army rushed to kill frantically, Ren Yuan shouted, and the spear in his hand pierced a soldier of the Shanzi Army who rushed down, and then when he wanted to fight to kill the rest of the soldiers, a big knife stretched out from the side and slashed directly in front of him.

Ren Yuan's figure retreated, but the prince Bai Yu was in hot pursuit, holding the knife in both hands, and slashed fiercely, forcing the other party to parry.

Bang Bang Bang!

Like the sound of striking iron, the prince Bai Yu kicked out, already condescending, and this time, Ren Yuan almost rolled down the mountain like a gourd.

Falling into a rut, Ren Yuan just reacted, and the prince Bai Yu had already rushed down, and the long knife in his hand stabbed him in the chest.

Ren Yuan's eyes bulged out, and the prince Bai Yu drew his sword, without hesitation, and threw himself into the rest of the battle.

At this moment, there are two battlefields in this ambush place, the secondary battlefield is where Prince Bai Yu and others are strangling some soldiers, and the front battlefield is Wang Xuan with cavalry, stabbing the team led by Cao!

From back to front, those sword and shield soldiers who didn't have time were also screaming and flying out.

However, Commander Cao also had some ability, and in the case of countless casualties in the chaos of the team, he still stabilized the team and let all the soldiers gather in formation to resist Wang Xuan's cavalry.

However, Wang Xuan's cavalry advanced and retreated freely, and when he saw that Commander Cao and the rest of the soldiers were in formation, they turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the left side of the mountain, and together with Prince Bai Yu and others, they harvested the remaining soldiers.

In a short period of time, Commander Cao's side lost more than half of the soldiers, but the Shanzi Army did not lose many people, so the number of soldiers in the Shanzi Army exceeded that of Commander Cao.

At this point, the task of Commander Cao could not be completed, and the strategic goal of the Glory Country was also a failure.

The rest of the cavalry under the command of Wu was completely strangled by Bai Qi, and it was only a matter of time.
