Chapter 273: The Goshawk Arrives
Even Zhou Yu didn't expect that Cuo Ling, who was surrounded by groups, would choose to take the initiative to attack, if it wasn't for the temptation, it would only mean that he didn't take our stinky sweet potato rotten eggs and the stragglers who were temporarily put together in his eyes.
"Who's coming?"
The old pit stepped forward with concern and asked, but in the face of his own soldiers, he didn't ask who would ask.
"It was the goshawk who led the troops out of the city, probably, about 10,000 soldiers."
"Goshawk?"
There was a hint of worry in the old pit in his eyes, and he waved his hand to let the guards go down.
The goshawk is a person, Zhou Yu has heard of it. I had heard the sergeants talk about it in private before, the four ace troops under Cuo Ling, the black helmets, the red helmets, the blue helmets, and the white helmets, among which the black helmet warriors had direct dealings with Zhou Yu. In the Battle of Mopingchuan, Tesla and Zhou Yu used a strategy to destroy the Black Helmet's first samurai Split Tiger, and of course, they were fortunate to form an indissoluble bond with Mr. Fallen.
As for the Red Helmets, Blue Helmets, and White Helmets, they have only heard a lot and met few people. Along the way, the battle with the irregular army was almost one-sided, and the self-confidence of the soldiers who surrendered without a fight swelled, both subjective and objective, made the real faces of the three armies more confusing and thought-provoking.
The goshawk is the general flag of the Blue Helmet, that is, the first commander. This man has only appeared in legends, the blue-helmeted warrior is skilled in bows and crossbows, and the goshawk himself is rumored to be able to pierce stone walls with arrows from a hundred feet away, which shows that his strength, eyes, and concentration are very human. Playing against him would be a headache for any defender.
"Who will fight?"
Zhou Yu spread his hands, although he just said that he would never hold his arms to watch the excitement, but the confrontation between the two armies is not such a routine.
"The last will go!"
"The last general is going to fight!"
"The Grand Duke, the old man is willing to fight!"
Playing in battle is not coming out, why are you all so active? Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and saw that the first to come out were the pit blue red, the ibaminonda and the killer whale. Lao Pit is the first brother of the righteous army, and he is also the presiding officer of the hand-picked military meeting, if he doesn't express his position, it is a little unreasonable, then the good show just now is not in vain.
Ibaminonda, an excellent tiger and brilliant man, did not exchange views with Scipio and Philip, but was the first to take the lead, demonstrating his determination to show his strength.
As for the tiger whale's invitation, Zhou Yu was a little incomprehensible. It stands to reason that there are people younger than you in the five clans, if you want to talk about young talents, there are Diao silkworms and Serra, and if you want to talk about brave martial arts, there are broken horseshoe crabs and pythons, what does it mean that you are an old immortal who comes to join in the fun? Could it be that there is something else going on here?
The Metropolitan Governor was too lazy to figure out whether the killer whale was the idea of fighting the Tian Ji horse race, and winning the first victory was the key at the moment.
"Lord Killer Whale, you are always worried about the world, and the spirit of the two Kunlun is admired, admired! Ladies and gentlemen, this is our role model, this is our model worker, this is our benchmark. The old gentleman was getting old, and when he heard that the enemy chief was coming, he was violent, and a spirit of ownership arose, and he was angry and angry. This is the strength that can only burst out with the courage to fight and die for the sake of the family and country, for freedom, and for life. Brothers, we young people still need to be experienced! ”
Zhou Yu rubbed his hands together, and his tone was very excited.
"But I still can't approve your battle order, as Jiuxi's favored minister, you have to play a more important role in the rear. Besides, this kind of big scene, the mainstay of our coalition army, the nine o'clock sun, also has to brush up the data, right? ”
Where can these people understand the sun at eight or nine o'clock and the words of brushing data, but fortunately, it is not too difficult to understand literally, so they just give up.
"Vi Qinghong obeys orders!"
"The last general!"
"With you leading 5,000 people to meet the goshawk department out of the city head-on, you are only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"
"The last will be ordered!"
"Ibaminonda obeys!"
"The last general!"
"You lead 5,000 strange soldiers to cooperate with the old general, and take the method of ambushing first and then luring the enemy, turning around and encircling, and flanking the front and back to strangle the blue-helmeted warriors. There must be no mistakes, if the army is defeated, come to see you! ”
"Yes!"
Most people saw Zhou Yu arrange combat missions for the first time, but almost all of them were surprised by his attitude towards battle, not only that he was old and serious, but that he was confident, majestic and undoubted, and an innate domineering that overwhelmed people.
Behind them, Taishan Bangshuai and the others were gearing up one by one, they hadn't seen such a side of the Metropolitan Governor for a few days, which made them regain the feeling of fighting in the bloody battle on the continent of Kuzsia. And Cathy beside him has seen his eccentric side, seen him single-handedly cracking the tiger, seen his tender and sweet side, but today is the first time to see him pointing out the country.
"What are you doing? Go on! Wait for me to whip you? ”
Zhou Yu was about to fight, so frightened that Iba Minonda and Ji Qinghong hurriedly went out of the tent to lead the troops to meet the enemy, and the two of them thought that the governor still had something to explain, so they delayed for a while, but they didn't expect it to cause a commotion.
The Grand Governor's arrangement was scientific, and the blue-helmeted warrior and the goshawk came out of the main gate of Tianyin City, just in front of the Chinese army that had only been adjusted from the rear to the front yesterday, and the old pit viper's troops could directly uncover the pot with him almost without hurrying.
Ibaminanda always guarded the right flank, and the two fronts of more than 10,000 Pa under his command were brave and good at fighting because of his leading troops like sons and leading soldiers, and he was brave and good at fighting, with one enemy and three. On this basis alone, if the task of blocking and intercepting was entrusted to him, the Metropolitan Governor would be relieved of 10,000.
As for Philip, who was originally the main commander of the Pacan army, Zhou Yu distrusted him because of the affairs of Antony and Cleopatra, so it was safest to stay by his side to prevent defections or other accidents.
"Generals, can you go up the south slope with me to watch the battle?"
Directly south of Tianyin City is a vast flat land, and further south are rolling hills. The highest part of the hill is called the southern slope, which is an excellent place to climb and look into the distance.
Condescending and unobstructed.
With 5,000 soldiers against 10,000 horsemen of the goshawk, it is really difficult to win. Among them, it depends on his cooperation with Ibaminonda. Winning the first battle is Zhou Yu's only requirement for this battle, and both of them know that this leader has high requirements, tight time, and heavy tasks, so they dare not be careless at all, and agree on the battle plan in detail.
The battle formation is lined up. The goshawk chose a rectangular formation, with heavy infantry at the head and crossbows and cavalry parallel behind him; The old pit lined up in a triangular formation, with the cavalry in the front, the bow and crossbow in the center, and the light infantry behind.
The advantage of the heavy infantry is the armor, and all of them are covered in metal hard armor; The advantage of the light infantry was speed, except for the long sword and short sword, and only wore simple leather armor that was stabbed.
The three humming marching horns were issued by the enemy formation, and the goshawk was the first to strike. Under the cover of the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen, the heavy infantry advanced in an orderly manner with the marching troops, and had the momentum to crush everything.
Lao Pit is also a veteran of the battlefield, although he used to mainly fight guerrillas, but after all, he is well-informed, and it is not difficult to deal with it at all. I saw that the rebels quickly changed their formation, changing from triangles to pockets, and pulling the formation to both sides, leaving depth to lure the enemy deeper.
"Good!"
"Wonderful!"
Scipio and the killer whale standing beside Zhou Yu exclaimed at the same time, obviously voting in favor of the old pit pit with ease.
Na Cheng thought that the goshawk was also very human, and when he was about to enter the pocket encirclement, the horn sounded again, and the vanguard fought steadily and stagnated, and the crossbowmen turned their volleys into random fires, and sacrificed fan-shaped attacks. The rebels on both flanks had a little difficulty coping with the long defensive line.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, more than 100 soldiers were shot by stray arrows and retreated, and for a time the formation was chaotic, and the pocket formation was unsustainable.
"Not good!"
"Not good!"
Zhou Yu glared back, and it was Diao Silkworm and Serra who spoke. The two of them don't know why, how can they tell the truth and be punished by the director, what is the reason?
The situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly. While the generals at all levels, who were watching the battle on the southern slope, whispered, the situation changed again. The commander of the rebel army was in a big position, and the light infantry on both flanks quickly rushed behind the enemy in an arc, completely ignoring the dead and wounded and the arrows on the head, and the action could almost be regarded as a rout or escape.
"What is the old pit doing?"
This time, even Cathy couldn't understand it, she frowned with green eyebrows and red lips, even if there were more fluorites behind the enemy line rushed by the rebels, because the distance was too far, she couldn't see Meridian Yin clearly.
"I think it's going to be a siege. However, I have only heard that there are many people surrounding and few people, and this is surrounded by 10,000 people with 5,000 people, what is the purpose of the old man, I can't understand it. ”
It's normal for Songhe to be incomprehensible, he is not the material for leading troops to fight.
Few people noticed that the light infantry on the march carried two water bags on their backs, and their water bags were running head down and feet up, running with their master's life.
By the time the goshawk noticed that something was wrong, it was a little late. The archers of the rebels ignited their rockets, and a round of fire was fired not at the blue-helmeted warriors, but at their own light infantry. When the rocket landed, a raging fire ignited, a foot high, and the fire spread extremely fast, and it took more than ten seconds to form an oval wall of fire, leaving only a hole more than ten meters wide in the south.
The horn sounded wildly in the mouth of the enemy's trumpeter, but the vanguard was helplessly involved in too much, and most of the heavy infantry and archers were encircled in the wall of fire, losing contact with the cavalry behind them. But fortunately, there are no rebels within the wall of fire, and even if you can't see the outside of the circle, you are safe.
"Is the old pit going to be broken into pieces and broken by each one?"
The killer whale stroked its white whiskers and nodded approvingly.
The blue-helmeted Chinese army should have received the commander's order, and the cavalry was quickly integrated and formed a wedge to attack the light infantry of the rebel army who had just sprinkled chestnut oil on the ground. Where is the infantry the opponent of the cavalry, plus the blue-helmet warrior is a tall horse, brave and good at fighting, and the demon scorpions under the crotch are taller than people. A few of them charged, and hundreds of soldiers and soldiers flipped on their backs, either picked up in the air or trampled to death, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.
After a scream, the Chinese army opened and flew out, Zhou Yu took a single-barreled telescope to observe, first a black dot, gradually clear and clear, from such a distance, the naked eye can see him moving quickly, it can be seen how high-quality this person is in the crotch.
This person is blue all over his body, wearing a small tungsten hat, stepping on freshwater boots, and a steel gun in his hand is placed obliquely on his side.
"This is the goshawk!"
"Actually pretending to be a brocade here?"
Zhou Yu took a sip.
