Chapter 755: Meat Grinder
The feathered arrows fell, and the archers, who had been in ambush earlier, shot deadly feathered arrows. They emerged from the woods, like venomous snakes that had been in ambush for a long time, and bit their prey.
The Dong Army soldiers, who had not yet reacted, were immediately covered by a rain of arrows on the way to the soldiers who were trapped in the camp. Many soldiers, before they had time to make anything else and say something, had already fallen to the ground in the blink of an eye, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"Ahh
Screams rang out at the same time, and one after another howls drifted in the sky, with a deep sense of misery. The soldiers of the Dong army did not expect that there would be an ambush, they only thought that the enemy on the opposite side had killed the general and the cavalry led by him by relying on the ambush, and it was too late to know that there was still an ambush.
The archers were putting their arrows on the bowstring again, and a second rain of arrows followed.
Another wave of Dong Army soldiers, like harvested leeks, was cut off a large piece. Not many of them were carrying shields, and after knowing that there was an accident in Linchuan County, they hurried over, and even the general did not expect that there would be an enemy ambush on the way, so they did not make targeted arrangements, let alone these soldiers would prepare spontaneously.
Maybe the dead general also thought about the possibility of being ambushed, but he just woke up from a drunken state, so he shouldn't have thought about it further. Or maybe there were, but the lack of information made him misjudge the enemy, so he himself was killed in battle.
Who would have thought that these unmarked enemies would be a group of warriors who have truly trained in purgatory, rather than ordinary thieves? It was precisely unimagined that such an overwhelming scene would appear and is happening. Of course, this is also related to personal ability, if it is replaced by a more cautious and experienced general, he will not fall into the trap so easily.
This is also Jia Xu's cleverness, because of the intelligence collection in his hands, he can make targeted arrangements. Including the ability of the military generals in the town, the usual daily behavior and habits, there is information gathered into his hands, and he has his own judgment on how much strength he should use and what methods to use to deal with him.
If it was Xu Rong or Niu Fu, Jia Xu would not use such a rough strategy that is not worth mentioning in his eyes. He would even abandon all arrangements because of these two people, and send his army to another county to attack and harass.
Persimmon picks soft pinch, no simpler truth. This is also because the territory is newly built, and there are still fewer cards that can be played in the hand.
Under the command of Dong Zhuo's forces in Liangzhou, there are only three people that Jia Xu is afraid of, one is Niu Fu, one is Xu Rong, and the other is Li Ru. These three people are the great enemies in his eyes, and having them is really not a good thing for Jia Xu now.
But they weren't there.
Gao Shun held the horse chopping knife in his hand, and after holding it for a long time, the handle of the knife had become warm, the same temperature as his palm. After two rounds of arrow rain, the stunned Dong soldiers finally came to their senses.
Under the approach of death, the soldiers of the Dong army immediately made a choice, and most of the soldiers killed the trapped camp led by Gao Shun. In their eyes, as long as these people are defeated, it is not too late for the remaining archers to deal with them, and they are only two hundred enemies.
Other Dong soldiers shouted and slaughtered the archers who emerged from the woods, whom they saw as the main threat. At the same time, perhaps there was a faint worry in their hearts that prompted them to make this decision, for these archers were a little easier to deal with than the thieves who seemed to be heavily armed in the middle of the road.
In the absence of a military general, the chaos and disunity of the army are particularly obvious. It turned out that the number of hundreds of dead people had already fallen under the rain of arrows in the two waves, and the number of those who were wounded was also hundreds, and the number of soldiers who could fight had dropped from 4,000 to more than 2,000. After another point, more than a thousand people rushed towards Gao Shun's trapping camp, and hundreds of people rushed towards those archers, causing the forces to disperse again.
Of course, these Dong soldiers did not understand who they were facing and what they were going to face, otherwise they would either flee or condense all their forces into one.
For the archer Gao Shun is not worried, the archers he trained are not just archers who can only shoot arrows. When necessary, they can also draw their long knives and fight their enemies in close combat. Therefore, if you really think that the archer will be finished if you are close to him, the person who thinks like this will find that he has thought about a matter of life wrongly.
Also waiting, Gao Shun's hand drooped, and the blade of the horse chopping knife touched the ground, and the blade was embedded in the earth. Looking at the number of enemies who were still several times more than those trapped in the camp, all he saw on his face was coldness, and no other emotions were revealed.
Beside him, all the trapped soldiers made the exact same movement, the hand holding the knife hanging down and placing the knife diagonally. This allows the arm to rest and avoid unnecessary physical exertion, after all, the weight of the saber, even if you hold it in your hand without making any movements, requires a certain amount of strength to maintain.
Every ounce of strength on the battlefield is worth cherishing, and it can never be wasted. Because I don't know when the battle will end, because I don't know if it will evolve into a gap between life and death at a critical time, there will be no soldiers in the camp who will make unnecessary moves for the sake of so-called good-looking and momentum.
They have the same temperament as Gao Shun, and this is because they have been with Gao Shun for a long time. In Yun Ting's original words, facial paralysis is also contagious, and it is terrifying.
When a group of people are all paralyzed and look at you with the same indifferent expression, no matter who they are, they will feel a chill in their hearts. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, ordinary soldiers who fight against the trapped camp have basically just opened up, and they are psychologically shorter at first.
When the two armies are fighting, the first thing is the momentum, and if the momentum is gone, it is basically equivalent to losing half.
When they ran towards the trapped camp, those Dong soldiers had already sensed that something was wrong, either the group of thieves on the opposite side were a group of fools, or they just had nothing to fear. There are so many of them, and when you face them, you should always have thoughts, hesitation or fear, right?
No! Not at all! When they got closer, they saw only the same faces, the same expressions, the same look at them, the kind of gaze that looked at the dead in their eyes.
I felt a sigh in my heart, but I had already run here, and it was not so easy to turn back. Having fought on the battlefield, they knew very well what it would be like to suddenly walk back in the midst of a large crowd of people running forward. At that time, the people behind you will push you and make you fall, and they will be pushed forward by the people behind you, and their feet will trample on you.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Dong Army could only shout loudly and use their voices to boost their morale.
"Kill!" Gao Shun also shouted, and raised the horse chopping knife, and pointed the tip of the knife at the Dong army soldiers in front.
"Enter!" Gao Shun stepped forward, and the soldiers in the camp around him also made the same movements as him, and took a step forward.
The footsteps fell, there was a dull sound of footsteps, there was no extra noise, and all the steps converged on only one sound.
There were two rows of trapped soldiers, each with a hundred people, whether they were wounded or unwounded, they were all in the queue. Gao Shun was also in the queue, and he became an extra person in the team, but it didn't make much of a difference, because they were a unit.
The shield he was carrying, along with the repeater that had begun to shoot the loaded crossbow arrows, had been thrown on the ground, and in addition to the armor and swords on his body, he could really be said to be lightly armed.
The shield is useless at the moment, at this moment, there is no need for defense at all, and it is useless to ask for a shield. Repeaters are useless, and reloading takes time, which is why the Trap Soldier throws a bolt at a cavalry first.
They weren't afraid that the equipment would be picked up by someone else, and if anyone dared to do that, he would soon become a dead man. They are also not afraid that those equipment will not have a chance to be worn again, and in this battle, they will only be the winners.
One more step, a neat and uniform step, each soldier trapped in the camp is exactly the same action, the same speed, if you hold a rope in front of their feet, then you will find a surprising scene, almost every soldier is on the same line.
Tread, step, step.
Like a wall moving, this kind of oppression made the Dong soldiers sense that something was wrong, but at this time, the distance between the two was already very close, and they were no longer allowed to think more.
Touching each other, at the moment of approaching each other, the weapons of the Dong Army soldiers had already fallen towards the soldiers in the trapped camp.
"Slash!" A cold light appeared in Gao Shun's eyes, and the horse slasher in his hand fell.
The soldiers in the camp beside him were also slashing sabers.
It's a very simple action, but it's so dense that it's almost impossible to find a gap.
Because there is no gap, there is no way for the enemy in front of you to dodge such an attack.
Flesh and blood flying, when the slashing knife is cut down, no matter how the Dong soldiers use the weapons in their hands to block, it will be the same end. The fate was the same as that of the previous cavalry's war horse, under a knife, it was split in two, and the whole body was cut in half, and blood and internal organs and intestines were sprinkled at will.
The trap soldiers in the first row took a step back, and the trap soldiers in the second row passed by, and they took a step forward.
The slashing knife in his hand fell, and he met the Dong soldiers who were trampling on the corpses and blood of their comrades, and the flesh and blood flew again.
exchanged again, one retreated, one advanced, and in the staggered manner, the trapped camp was always advancing, oppressing, and killing the Dong soldiers in front of them. It has become a real meat grinder, strangling all the enemies that stand in front of you and in your path.
