Chapter 220: The Victim
"Knock knock! βββ
The low, thick drum of gathering troops suddenly sounded, shaking the sky above Liaodong City.
Wei Chi Baolin, who was leading the charge of the team, heard the sound of drums coming from the direction of the barracks, Goguryeo reacted, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he looked back at Yu Chi Baoqi who was following and shouted: "The enemy army gathers troops, take a thousand people to rush into battle, I will lead people to press the formation, quickly!" β
"Understood!" Yu Chi Baoqi responded knowingly, looked at the five lieutenants who followed closely behind him and shouted, "Follow me and speed up the charge!" β
"Obey, drive!" The five shouted in unison.
The five lieutenants, each of whom had 200 people, added up to 1,000 people, and when the soldiers saw the captain's gesture of speeding up the charge, they drew their swords one by one and slapped the horses' ass, and the 1,000 people suddenly rushed away like a flood that opened the floodgates, rushing straight to the Goguryeo camp.
The task of the forbidden army is the grain depot, which is in the large camp, and the garrison must be cleared first.
The garrison of the large battalion is at least more than 10,000, and it is not impossible to have a chance under the sudden attack, but the war drums of the gathered troops sounded, and the enemy reacted faster than expected, just because the city gate was stopped by the defenders for interrogation, and the delay was too long, and the brave of the two armies met and the brave won!
Yu Chi Baoqi rushed over with a thousand people, the last time he burned grain, he had some memory, plus he had carefully studied the map, and now he had gathered troops and war drums to guide him, and the direction could not be wrong.
Soon, a thousand people rushed to the gate of the camp, a team of enemy soldiers guarding the gate rushed up to block it, Wei Chi Baoqi held up his horse, his body was lowered, and he rushed over, and then the horsepower stabbed a person through, and with a flick of his arm, the corpse knocked down an enemy, and the war horse rushed forward fiercely to make a gap.
Yu Chi Baoqi rushed into the gate from the gap, swept away several enemy soldiers who tried to rush up and close the door, and roared angrily: "Those who can't stop it are dead, brothers, kill-"
"Kill!"
A thousand soldiers roared in unison, killing intent, drowning all the enemy troops at the gate under the iron horse, and continued to charge with an unstoppable momentum, Yu Chi Baoqi took the lead, and his sharp eyes saw the thousands of enemy troops gathered on the school field not far away, once they acted, it was difficult to stop.
At the moment of life and death, Yu Chi Baoqi was bold, and he turned his horse's head without fear and rushed towards the enemy's position.
In an instant, a thousand men formed an attack formation, stabbing at the enemy like sharp swords.
Yu Chi Baoqi's eyes became fanatical, staring at the front, like a wolf king leading the stormtrooper.
The best way to charge in a cluster is not to spread out and dodge, that will be reduced to a lamb trampled by iron horses, how can two legs outrun a war horse? Instead, they formed a thick phalanx, built a wall of the city with flesh and blood, and took their lives to block it.
However, when the enemy guards saw Wei Chi Baoqi coming straight to him, they immediately panicked, and ran away, and the other generals who were preparing for a bloody battle were a little stunned when they saw this scene, and their fighting spirit instantly fell by more than half, and a general roared angrily: "Don't run around, keep the formation, kill!" β
The officers and soldiers drew their swords one after another, their eyes were full of panic, and without restrained weapons, how could their flesh and blood be able to block the collision of thousands of iron cavalry?
In an instant, Yu Chi Baoqi rushed up on his horse, and the horse lance came out of the hole like a dragon, and went straight to an enemy general with a sound that tore through the air.
The enemy general was also fierce, wielding his sword and slashing.
"Whenβ"
There was a crisp sound, sparks splashed, the violent force rushed past, the general was shocked and retreated, his face was as white as paper in an instant, and he held his breath in his heart, and before he could slow down, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, his heart was pierced by a horse lance, and the blood surged, and his eyes suddenly turned black and he lost consciousness.
Yu Chi Baoqi's arm shook, and the horse lance with the corpse smashed into the crowd of the enemy formation, knocking down a large area, and the corpse of the general also rolled out.
"Killβ"
With a long roar, Yu Chi Baoqi was possessed by the god of war and crashed into the enemy group.
A soldier is a general's courage, and it will be a soldier's soul!
A thousand soldiers saw that Yu Chi Baoqi was so fierce, one by one they were beaten like chicken blood, followed closely behind Yu Chi Baoqi, like a sharp knife stabbed into the enemy formation, how terrible it was for the war horses to rush hard, for a while, countless people were knocked upside down and flew out, screaming one after another.
The sword light was fierce, and the blood was splashed, like a Shura hell.
Yu Chi Baoqi was covered in blood, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, the essence of the cavalry is speed, that is, the charge, once stopped, it is a live target.
The horse lance is like a dragon turning over the river and the sea, sometimes crossing the throat of the enemy, but piercing the enemy's body, sometimes sweeping and smashing down a large area, no one can stop it, the war horse neighs, charges hard, the front hooves fly, and constantly tramples on the people in front of it.
At this time, Yu Chi Baolin rushed into the camp with another thousand people, looked at this scene and shouted: "Dismount, form a crossbow attack formation." β
The enemy formation has already been shattered, and it is of little use to go up, and once other enemies come to besiege it, 2,000 people will be surrounded by regiments, which is not advisable.
The soldiers did not know why, but the military order was like a mountain, and no one dared to disobey it, so they stopped, turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the front to assemble quickly according to the usual training.
While waiting for the assembly, Yu Chi Baolin stared closely at his younger brother who was rushing into battle, his heart was full of worry, but he didn't show it, seeing more enemies rushing out of the camp, showing a siege, the archers also began to assemble, once the assembly was completed, the consequences were very serious, and he quickly looked back, the army had not yet completed the assembly.
Time is of the essence, and every moment is precious.
Yu Chi Baolin didn't want to wait any longer, and shouted, "Come with me-"
Saying that, he rushed to the direction of the archers' assembly, and the soldiers didn't care about forming a formation, so they hurriedly followed, and the formation was even more chaotic, like a swarm, Yu Chi Baolin couldn't take care of it, and rushed forward first.
The enemy archers also panicked, and they didn't care about the formation, they opened their bows and arrows, and countless feathered arrows flew over, falling among the running soldiers, and some people fell down with arrows, wailing, but at the moment of life and death, other soldiers could not care about treatment, and continued to rush forward, not rushing, and dying faster.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the team rushed to the crossbow shooting distance, and Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "Free shooting, kill!" β
The soldiers couldn't wait, and when they heard the order, they picked up their crossbows one after another, and fired them without taking aim, and the arrows flew away, with almost negligible pauses in between, invisibly forming a dense life-killing net, covering the enemy archers overwhelmingly.
The dense rain of arrows was like a raging tornado, with a momentum that swept everything, and before the enemy could react, more arrows came one after another, endlessly.
In an instant, the enemy archers became lambs to the slaughter, wailing at the terrifying rate of repeater fire, unable to fight back.
After more than a dozen rounds of firing, more than 10,000 arrows covered the position of the enemy archers, and none of them survived.
Without the threat of archers, Yu Chi Baolin was calm, looked at a group of enemy troops who were trying to rush over to rescue, pointed with his big hand, and shouted: "Prepare to shoot!" β
The enemies who rushed to the rescue did not expect the archers to be wiped out so quickly, and when they saw the crossbows aiming at them, they were frightened one by one, and they retreated.
Yu Chi Baolin didn't chase after him immediately, but shouted: "Junction attack formation!" β
The soldiers quickly assembled according to their usual training, and just now they were worried that the archers would have to charge temporarily, but now there is a rare gap that cannot be missed.
In the enemy formation, Yu Chi Baoqi led the troops to kill a pair and rushed out, the horse did not decrease, continued to rush forward, ran out of an arc, and saw that the enemy formation was rushed into a mess, without any threat, Yu Chi Baoqi was bold, excitedly pointed at the horse lance, and shouted: "Brothers, do you see it, what are they?" It's silver, always one, rush with me, pick up the silver, killβ"
"Killβ"
When everyone thought of rewarding silver, their eyes lit up, and their exhaustion was swept away, and they continued to beat their horses and rush over.
Yu Chi Baolin saw that his younger brother was crazy, and he was a little envious, knowing that he should change it, he led the team to rush into battle, and shouted not to be outdone: "Brothers, are you willing to be robbed by them?" Hurry up for Lao Tzu. β
"Quick, assemble!" The lieutenant gave a loud order to restrain the troops.
Soon, the team fought into two rows, each row of five hundred people, about two meters apart between the front and back, and about one meter between the left and right, forming an interception net, Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "One row, free attack!" Second row ready! β
"Woohoo!"
The crossbow sounded again, shooting towards the chaotic enemy formation, although only five hundred people shot, but the rate of fire was fast, one after another, impermeable, the power was still terrifying, and instantly cleared a large vacuum in front.
The enemy became more and more panicked, and rushed towards the barracks, but was intercepted by Wei Chi Baoqi, and they rushed to kill, and the ground was once again covered with corpses, as well as countless wailing wounded soldiers.
Yu Chi Baoqi shouted happily, and wanted to rush again, but Yu Chi Baolin's personality stabilized a little, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, return to the team quickly, and form a formation!" β
"Understood!" Yu Chi Baoqi respected his brother quite much, and hurriedly led people to rush over, went around to the back of the repeater array, dismounted one after another, took off the repeater and rushed up.
"Liancheng Pai, hurry!" Yu Chi Baolin shouted.
Yu Chi Baoqi didn't know why, but it didn't hinder the execution of the order, and quickly commanded the team to rush to the other end, and also formed two rows, merging together, forming a formation that was thousands of meters long and two meters wide, which looked a little thin, if it was an archer, such a formation would break as soon as it rushed, but the crossbow was different.
Seeing that the formation was assembled, Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "Slowly move forward, crush!" β
"Understood, move slowly, crush!" Yu Chi Baoqi shouted and passed the order to his own people.
Two thousand people slowly moved forward, like mountains, like waves, each with a repeating crossbow in their hands, their eyes sharp, indifferent, staring at the front, pulling a net to crush the past.
A thousand meters, almost no dead ends!
Seeing this, the enemy panicked, abandoned the corpses and retreated, hid in the barracks, and relied on the terrain to prepare for a counterattack.
But without the archers, such a counterattack is meaningless under the crossbow, Yu Chi Baolin is very glad that he risked his life to kill the enemy archers just now, although he sacrificed a lot, but it was worth it, his face was like frost, his pace was steady, and he shouted after approaching the barracks: "A platoon, shoot freely!" β
"One platoon, free fire!" Yu Chi Baoqi also shouted.
The soldiers in the first row shot as they walked, shooting the visible enemy, so frightened that the enemies who were hiding outside rushed into the room, and everyone easily killed to the barracks, and a large group of people suddenly killed, like panicked beasts dying back, with some kind of hopeless madness.
"Definitely!"
Yu Chi Baolin roared, not afraid at all.
The team's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and they raised their crossbows to lock onto the rushing enemy.
Yu Chi Baolin continued to shout: "First platoon, squat, slow crossbow box, second platoon, shoot freely, kill them all!" β
For a time, the arrows were impulsive like countless poisonous snakes, like locusts passing through the border, and flew forward.
"Ahhh
Screams rang out one after another, and one stubble man fell, bleeding like a river.
In front of the repeater, this unshielded charge is to seek death.
The enemy rushed hard enough, but the arrows were even harder.
Soon, the second row of crossbow boxes was empty, and Wei Chi Baolin gave an order, and the first row got up and took over the shooting, ensuring that the fire was continuous, and the enemy troops who rushed up frantically were pressed to death, forming a death line that could not be crossed by sleep.
On this line, corpses are piled up!
Gradually, the enemy army was killed, their morale was greatly discharged, and they lost the madness just now, and they didn't know who shouted surrender, and immediately many people followed, crawling on the ground and not daring to move.
People have a herd mentality, they can charge frantically together, and they will surrender together.
Soon, a large number of people were lying on the ground shivering, losing their weapons and holding their heads in their hands.
But Yu Chi Baolin did not give the order to stop the attack, and the soldiers continued to shoot, Yu Chi Baoqi did not understand why his brother did this, but he did not question it in public, there was only one voice on the battlefield, and he did not order it to stop.
Soon, the enemy who had given up resistance was killed.
As soon as Wei Chi Baolin gave an order, the team continued to move forward, sending four teams to go up and kick the door, check room by room, and the others took cover, pressed the formation, and supported at any time.
The enemy who dared to play with his life had just launched a frantic charge, and all of them were cleared, and the remaining enemies hiding in the barracks trembled and lost the courage to resist, and the door was kicked open, and a burst of arrows came and shot them all.
Half an hour later, the entire battalion was wiped out, and Wei Chi Baolin transferred 1,000 people to guard the gate of the camp, and the remaining 1,000 people continued to search for the remnants, clean up the battlefield, and count the supplies.
The team moved again, like a machine that worked in perfect harmony.
Yu Chi Baoqi took the time to find Yu Chi Baolin, signaled to the side, and said in a low voice: "Why didn't you accept the prisoner just now, I'm afraid it will be bad for our brothers if it goes out." β
"If you accept the captivity, it will be detrimental to Brother Qin, Brother Qin is benevolent and righteous, treat us as brothers, we can't have no conscience." Yu Chi Baolin said in a low voice.
"Why?" Yu Chi Baoqi was a little surprised.
Seeing that his younger brother really didn't understand, Wei Chi Baolin looked around and explained in a low voice: "If they keep them, they will waste a lot of snacks, and they also need to waste precious medicine for treatment, leaving people to guard, our army is short of food, medicine, and soldiers, how can precious resources be given to the enemy?" If we don't kill, Brother Qin will also find an excuse to kill, and then the court will blame Brother Qin. β
"It makes sense, our brothers have carried this pot." Yu Chi Baoqi was stunned.
"You may not have seen it, Brother Qin wishes there was an excuse to kill the prisoner."
"Why?" Yu Chi Baoqi was stunned again.
Yu Chi Baolin hated the iron and reminded him: "Because Brother Qin's merits this time are too great, and the mercenaries will be highly rewarded, so Brother Qin began to defile himself, and the mercenaries violated the rules of the court, but Brother Qin did not ask for our opinions, and directly established it, that is, to take the responsibility and not involve us." β
"Since it's self-defilement, why don't you give up the opportunity to kill the prisoner to Brother Qin?" Yu Chi Baoqi asked rhetorically.
"You and my brother will kill when they are in battle, and when the time comes, they will say that they will kill the red eye, and if they are pushed clean, it will have no effect, the Lord will not kill them afterwards, it is not sewage, it is a disaster, there will be a bad omen, Brother Qin can defile himself, but he must not use the trick of killing prisoners."
Yu Chi Baoqi suddenly realized and nodded solemnly.
"You can't talk nonsense about this, otherwise don't talk about me, my father can also pull out your skin, stay and guard the camp well, there is no room for loss, I will go to Brother Qin to see the situation." Yu Chi Baolin reminded him, turned around and hurried away.
"Don't worry, I know!" Yu Chi Baoqi solemnly agreed.
Wei Chi Baolin took dozens of guards out of the camp, all the way to the hurry, suddenly saw the front of the fight into a group, Luo Zhang was entangled by a general, the two fought on par, mercenaries and an enemy army also fought together, for a while it was difficult to distinguish the superior, suddenly the corner of his eyes twitched, and he quickly looked back at the captain of the guard: "Take people to the periphery for a sneak attack." β
"General, the guards must be with you." The captain was in a hurry.
"Fart, obey orders!"
Yu Chi Baolin scolded angrily, hit his horse and rushed up, and shouted: "Luo Zhang, I'm here to help you." β
"No, Lao Tzu can do it, go kill others." Luo Zhang shouted, stood up bravely, stabbed three guns in a row, and three spear flowers appeared in the void, so frightened that the enemy general hurriedly leaned back to dodge.
Seeing that Luo Zhang could deal with it, Yu Chi Baolin rushed forward, swept the horse lance, and smashed a large piece of air.
"Herod!"
The war horse neighed, the horse stepped on the enemy, and rushed up, Yu Chi Baolin's horse lance rotated, picked an enemy general off the horse, and shouted: "Follow me, rush and kill!" β
The mercenaries lacked a general to sit in, and the attack could not be carried out for a long time, but with the strong Yu Chi Baolin joining, the situation changed dramatically in an instant, and dozens of Yu Chi Baolin's personal guards also rushed up, shooting and killing from a distance to cover the attack.
Luo Zhang saw the reversal of driving, put down a heart, and concentrated on fighting with the enemy general, the marksmanship changed suddenly, and he took a few moves weakly, looking like he was physically exhausted, and saw that the enemy general was attacking tightly, and the moves became more and more urgent, and he ran away, but his attention was highly concentrated.
Hearing that the enemy general was chasing, and there was a sound of breaking the air behind his head, Luo Zhang suddenly squatted down, avoiding the fatal blow of the head, and looked back at the moon, and the horse lance turned into a lightning bolt and stabbed into the opponent's waist.
Luo family, go back to the horse gun!
"Die!"
Luo Zhang shouted, picked up the enemy general, and with a strong hand, the horse lance went into a lot of depth, and then shook it hard, smashing the enemy general into the enemy group that was fighting, and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, kill me-"
"Kill!" The mercenaries roared excitedly.
When the enemy saw the corpse of the general, he was immediately frightened, his combat effectiveness plummeted, and he retreated one after another.
Wei Chi Baolin was worried that Luo Zhang ordered the enemy to surrender, and shouted: "Kill it, it's all silver!" β
As soon as the mercenaries heard about the "silver", they became even more excited, what did they throw their lives for? Thinking of the silver reward I received last time, I went crazy one by one.
"Kill them all!"
"It's all silver!"
"Killβ"
For a while, the shouting and killing sound rang out, and the murderous atmosphere was full of air.
Luo Zhang didn't have the intention of organizing, rushed up, and Yu Chi Baolin left and right, two people, two horses like deadly sickles, constantly harvesting the enemy, the mercenaries saw the two fierce, more and more fanatical, followed by slashing and killing, morale like a rainbow, the battle instantly became one-sided, crushed up.
Soon, another mercenary rushed over to help, flanked at both ends, the morale of the enemy army plummeted instantly, and the two sides fled, the mercenaries killed the momentum, and also killed the red eyes, and chased after them.
Not long after, another mercenary came to help, surrounded on all sides, and slaughtered the enemy army.
Yu Chi Baolin breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted to Luo Zhang, "Are you okay?" β
"It's okay, thank you for your help."
"There's no need to be polite between us, what happened just now?" Yu Chi Baolin asked.
"I don't know, an army of five thousand people suddenly appeared, and it happened to collide, and the leading general was strong in martial arts, entangled me, causing no one to command the troops, but fortunately you arrived in time." Luo Zhang explained.
Wei Chi Baolin pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be the troops who came out to change guards?" There are about 20,000 in Liaodong City, and it is about 10,000 when I found it in the camp just now, and the four city gates, each of which has more than 1,000 defenders at the city gate, add up to about 5,000, which is exactly 5,000 less. β
"It's really possible to say this, no matter what, it's already done anyway, you go get busy, I'll continue to patrol the city." Luo Zhang clenched his fists and commanded the troops.
Wei Chi Baolin just left, and saw a cavalry running from the street in front of him, under the banner of Yulinwei, only the main general can play this kind of banner, obviously Qin Huaidao came, and hurriedly beat his horse to meet him.
When he got closer, he saw Qin Huaidao in the army, and hurriedly shouted: "General! β
When Yu Linwei saw someone coming, they all raised their crossbows, and when they heard the shouting, they all put them down, Qin Huaidao signaled the team to stop, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here, the big camp has been taken?" β
"I took it smoothly, I came to report to you, and I happened to encounter a bloody battle of mercenaries, so I made a move."
Qin Huaidao also rushed to support after hearing the news that Luo Zhang had been attacked by a large-scale enemy army, and asked with a worried face, "Is Luo Zhang okay?" β
"He's fine, he killed a general, he looks like the force is good, I'm afraid it's not small, and he's cleaning up the battlefield." Yu Chi Baolin hurriedly said.
"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Huaidao put his mind at ease and stepped forward.
The group moved forward and soon came to the battlefield, Luo Zhang greeted him, clasped his fists and saluted: "General." β
"It didn't hurt anywhere, did it?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"It's okay, it's just that the loss is a bit big." Luo Zhang said depressedly.
"Count the casualties well, report them back, and you must verify them more to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Qin Huaidao admonished, looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of him, and asked, "You killed a general, what is your identity?" β
"There is no way to interrogate the language barrier, but a token was found from the other party." Luo Zhang said and took out a token and handed it over.
Qin Huaidao took it and took a look, it was carved from high-grade mutton fat jade, with the word "king" on the front and the word "true" on the back. That Luo Zhang's credit is great, and he can make good use of it, and hurriedly said: "Find someone to translate and verify your identity." β
"Obey!" Luo Zhang clenched his fists and hurried away.
