Chapter 232: Fierce Battle (Medium)
This time, it will face off against the Yellow Turban Army. Of course, Ah Niu will not forget to forget about wise men like Pang Tong and Chen Gong. Pang Tong not only has such practical characteristics as "conscription", but also has the skill of "persuasion" in the battle that can turn the tide of the battle in an instant.
It's a pity that if the "persuasion" characteristic can work every time, Fengxiang Town can sweep more than n people with the power of Pang Tong. The odds of this feature succeeding are actually very low, and at least today, the Pontose feature has not been successful.
With a look of guilt, Pang Tong said: "My lord, I have a burden, and I failed this time." ”
Equally guilty is Chen Gong, whose "Confusing the Crowd" skill has a slight chance of convincing enemy troops to join our legion. But today does not seem to be a good day for these two gentlemen to "cast spells".
"It doesn't matter, although this battle has not yet begun, the Yellow Turban Army is exhausted and old, and its reaction is all in our calculations. It's good to succeed, but it's not the big picture if you fail, you don't have to worry about it. Ah Niu smiled and comforted the two, the various means before this battle had greatly damaged the vitality of the Yellow Turban Army, and the current Yellow Turban Army did not seem to be weak, but it was actually strong in the middle.
After Ah Niu instructed Chen Gong to return to Fengxiang first, he said to Pang Tong:
"All the arrangements have the work of you and the public platform. In the key battle against the enemy, you will be in charge. Ah Niu's words immediately made Pang Tong solemn.
In fact, since the ambush in the woods, most of the plans behind were formulated by Chen Gong and Pang Tong, although Ah Niu had some tricks and bad moves, it was still a bit difficult for a certain town mayor to formulate such a detailed plan alone. However, Ah Niu was not wronged by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the most damaging "laxative" was from his handwriting.
Although Feng Xiang had made various designs before this, making the Yellow Turban Army subject to restrictions everywhere, after all, there were still 17,000 Yellow Turban Army standing there, and they still faced a lot of tests if they wanted to achieve the final victory. And the success or failure of this battle directly determines the life and death of Feng Xiang, even a supreme wise man like Pang Tong, when Ah Niu entrusts Feng Xiang's fate to him, he does not dare to take it lightly.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army didn't seem to take the initiative to attack, Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "Lu Han's subordinates stepped forward and lined up in several formations. ”
Although Pang Tong has been living in Fengxiang for a long time, no one dares to doubt the ability of this gentleman, and as soon as the words fell, Lu Han immediately commanded the troops to act according to Pang Tong's instructions. Feng Xiang's troops have not been formed for a short time, even if it is Lu Han's regular troops, the drill of formation is also one of the basic topics.
There are really a lot of formations in ancient China, but the master of the collection is also Sun Bin of the Warring States, he summarized the ancient formations before the Spring and Autumn Period into ten formations, namely: square array, circle array, sparse array, several arrays, cone array, goose-shaped array, hook-shaped array, Xuanxiang array, water array, fire array. The water array and fire array refer to the tactics of water warfare and fire warfare, not a simple battle formation, so Sun Bin actually has only eight basic battle formations.
In the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram was famous all over the world, but what is embarrassing is that after the ancient Chinese formation was transmitted to Japan, the Japanese studied the formation method and walked ahead of us. The fourth year of the balance treasure word (76o years). After the start of the Japanese Pingyuan Clan, the "Wuhou Eight Formations" went through the baptism of war, and combined with the actual situation in Japan, the famous Japanese Warring States General Takeda Shingen compiled the eight formations of fish scales, sharp arrows, crane wings, glaives, square circles, wild goose walks, long snakes, and yokes, so they are also called "Takeda Eight Formations". I have to admit that the Japanese have never stopped studying Chinese culture.
Now Pang Tong ordered the troops to discharge two formations, which were two of Sun Bin's ten formations.
Several formations are dense battle formations, concentrating on defense and attack. Lu Han now has only 300 people in his hands, and it is inevitable to concentrate his forces in the face of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, in fact, Pang Tong let Lu Han discharge several hundred people in several formations, and he also has the intention of luring the Yellow Turban Army to attack.
Seeing Feng Xiang taking care of his own troops, the Yellow Turban Army also began to move in the voice of Guan Hai's order, and the three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers began to march towards the Luhan troops in front of the breakthrough. Depending on the situation, it is ready to quickly eat Lu Han's men and horses with ten times the force.
For peasant armed forces such as the Yellow Turbans, it is undoubtedly a joke to ask them to arrange their troops in a decent manner, and it is enough to burn incense and worship the Buddha if they can keep the formation tight. In the midst of the shouts, the Yellow Turban Army rushed over, and in a short time it was only one hundred and seventy steps away from Lu Han's troops!
"Ju Yi's department moved forward behind Lu Han, the geese marched in formation, shooting from a distance!" Pang Tong smiled slightly, the actions of the Yellow Turban Army had long been expected by him.
The wild goose marching formation is a kind of battle formation that is arranged horizontally, and the left and right wings are arranged forward or backward in echelons, and the whole army is in a "V" shape, just like the formation of geese when they migrate. Such a formation arrangement is relatively scattered, and at this time, it is used on the Xiandeng Death Soldier holding a big yellow crossbow, which can just give full play to the advantage of Xiandeng long-range strike!
When the first dead soldier was in position, and when he arrived at the designated position and stood at the time, the Yellow Turban Army had already entered the range of the big yellow crossbow. Ju Yi gave an order, and more than 500 big yellow crossbows roared at the same time. The Yellow Turban Army that rushed to the front immediately fell! However, the military order is like a mountain, the Yellow Turban Army is still bravely killing Feng Xiang, as long as it rushes through these more than 100 steps, the most terrifying big yellow crossbow will no longer be a threat!
"Their crossbow arrows are powerful, and if we continue like this, our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties!" Du Yuan saw the Yellow Turban Army in the front row fall one after another, and he was anxious.
"Now all of Fengxiang's troops are on the battlefield, and it is God who helps me with the yellow scarf. Can we divide thousands of people to attack the main town of Fengxiang and the dependent territories, I believe that once our small force attack is launched, Zheng Aniu's troops will be chaotic! Guan Hai felt that he had grasped Feng Xiang's weakness and said excitedly.
"It's not good, the situation of the last battle of the Little Heavenly Master must have been heard by General Guan, there are still militias in the various affiliated territories of Fengxiang, you see that there are no arrow towers in Wuwei Town in front of you, and dividing the troops to attack will only increase casualties!" In the battle of Xiaotianshi, the surviving Yellow Turban Army explained to Du Yuan and others that the last time ** also divided troops to attack all the affiliated territories of Feng Xiang under the condition of overwhelming superiority in troops, but was defeated by Feng Xiang after relieving his breath.
"If they confront us with the fortifications, if they want to capture Fengxiang, our army will definitely suffer huge casualties, now we can command the army to rush over, and take them down in one fell swoop with the absolute superiority of troops, and when these people are eliminated, Fengxiang is a completely undefended township for us!" Guan Hai finally dispelled the idea of sending thousands of people to attack Fengxiang's dependent territory.
In a few words, the Yellow Turban Army had fallen nearly a thousand people in the rain of arrows that had first ascended to the dead. Guan Hai and Du Yuan's eyes almost erupted with fire, and without hesitation, the 8,000 troops of the Chinese army also entered the battlefield, followed by the 3,000 Yellow Turban Army in the front team, rolling like an iron stream, and the momentum shook the sky!
Ah Niu couldn't help but be a little shocked, this was the first time to feel the amazing scene of tens of thousands of people charging head-on, and the strong shock made a town mayor speechless. "Fortunately, it wasn't me who commanded it this time." A mayor laughed at himself.
The big yellow crossbow in the hands of the first dead soldiers has never stopped roaring, but this time it is a frontal battlefield between the two armies, compared with the charge of tens of thousands of people of the Yellow Turban Army, the lethality of the first dead soldiers is not enough to cause enough casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army is getting closer and closer to the troops of Lu Han and Ju Yi, and now it is less than eighty steps!
Pang Tong seemed to turn a blind eye to this, but his clear eyes did not let go of every detail on the battlefield.
Seventy steps! On the battlefield, the Yellow Turbans have been shot by at least 1,500 people!
Sixty steps! Two thousand Yellow Turban warriors lay in pools of blood, and the soldiers under Lu Han were already sweating nervously. The enemy's eyebrows are clearly visible!
Fifty steps! The Fengxiang soldier standing at the front could even clearly see the green tendons on the neck of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was fascinated by it, and a crossbow arrow flying out from behind him was firmly nailed to the chest of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army didn't have time to snort, and was knocked over by the friendly army behind him, and thousands of horses galloped past!
The excitement in Guan Hai and Du Yuan's eyes could not be concealed, the two armies were only fifty paces away now, and Feng Xiang's crossbowmen threat was about to be lifted. Although the Yellow Turbans had paid a terrible price before this, at least now, they have seen the dawn of victory.
At this time, the mutation was suddenly born!
The Yellow Turban Army who rushed in front felt that there was no space under their feet, and their bodies involuntarily fell downward, and suddenly, a ravine about 100 meters long, two meters deep, and three meters wide appeared out of thin air on the battlefield that seemed to be empty. I saw that hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers could not hold their feet and fell into the pit, and immediately there was a burst of miserable howls, there were sharp bamboos buried in the pit, where did the Yellow Turban Army who fell into the ditch still have a chance to live!
Of course, this trench did not appear out of thin air, but Feng Xiang mobilized thousands of villagers and spent a whole day digging before the Yellow Turban Army arrived in Wuwei Town last night. There is a clever camouflage on the trench, the wooden stick is a beam, covered with a bamboo mat, and then planted floating soil, turf, leaves and other things on it, without looking carefully, it is impossible to see the mystery at all, the Yellow Turban Army arrived last night when it was late, how did you know that there is such a long trench lying here, and suddenly suffered a big loss!
Although the Yellow Turban Army had tried to attack Wuwei Town when they arrived last night, the location of this trench was not on the straight road between the Yellow Turban Army and Wuwei Town, and it was simply the virgin land that the Yellow Turban Army had time to set foot in the future. Feng Xiangjun took the initiative to attack today. The position of the troops is at a point with Wuwei Town, and they deviate from the camp gate of the Yellow Turban, just to make this trench work!
The Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, and the Yellow Turban Army was in a dilemma for a while when blocked by the trench, but became a live target, and even some shields could not protect everyone.
The first deceased took this opportunity to continue the work of the remote Yin people, and after the battle began, Feng Xiang's martial artists had already transported a large number of arrows, and the ammunition was not exhausted. And Qian Jin, the mayor and senior martial artist of Wuwei Town, had already followed the original plan, and after leaving more than 200 militiamen to guard the town, he personally led 800 militia to help.
At this time, Pang Tong's clear voice sounded again: "Qian Jin's subordinates stepped forward and bent down to refuse to defend the trench!" The Luhan Department moved to the left side of the trench, and the Gaoshun Department moved to the right side of the trench. Pang Tong's voice was not loud, and it was even more inconspicuous on the battlefield where the shouting and killing sound was shaking, and these orders were conveyed by martial artists.
Gao Shun's trapped camp has finally moved.
Ah Niu was puzzled for a while. The Yellow Turban Army was blocked by a trench, why did Pang Tong still need Qian Jin to take the militia to guard it? But the next situation made a certain mayor suddenly realize that Pang Tong deserved to be a top wise man, and his grasp and judgment of the battlefield shape were very good, and he had obvious foresight.
The Yellow Turbans were held back in the trench, only fifty meters away from the first dead soldiers, and even if they retreated, they would definitely be shot on their backs. The Yellow Turbans did not have a queue at all when they started fighting, and now the large group of men and horses was crowded together, and the few archers had no room for bows and arrows at all. Guan Hai and Du Yuan were also ruthless, wasn't it just a trench two meters deep and three meters wide? Even if you use people to fill it, you have to fill this ditch!
When Guan Hai gave this order, there were tears in his eyes. Compared to being shot by Fengxiang's first-timers when retreating or making a detour, the loss of filling the ditch with human lives is light. Of course, some people pay the price with their lives, but if more people can survive and finally bask in the glory of victory, Guan Hai has no choice but to choose the latter. In fact, most of the ditches were filled by Yellow Turbans who had already been shot.
When Qian Jin arrived at the trench with the militia less than thirty seconds later, the Yellow Turban Army had already rushed over with the bodies of their companions, and a tragic hand-to-hand battle began in front of the trench!
Although Qian Jin's militia combat effectiveness is far less powerful than Fengxiang's regular troops, the Yellow Turban Army is only a peasant army after all, although the trenches are filled with human lives, but the foothold is obviously not as convenient as the down-to-earth Fengxiang militia. In addition, Qian Jin and others resolutely carried out Pang Tong's order to "bend down and resist the enemy", and there was fire support from the first dead soldiers in the rear, and they held their positions for a while!
But the red-eyed Yellow Turban Army also showed amazing combat effectiveness, and Qian Jin's militia was not a regular army after all, and there were casualties as soon as they fought. If it weren't for the accurate shooting of the first dead soldiers, Qian Jin's militia wouldn't have been able to last long! In this situation, Ah Niu, who was watching the battle in the back, almost couldn't help crying, those people were all Fengxiang's people, but in the cruel war, sacrifice was inevitable!
Although Pang Tong had been directing the battle, he still saw Ah Niu's expression and couldn't help but sigh secretly. This lord's heart is still a little softer. (To be continued)
