Chapter Eighty-Nine: Three Arrows to Save Your Life
Thanks to Ji Ying, a stunned boy, he went to the Yellow River for disaster relief last year, and Zhou Yu met Chai Guangyun in the city of Yiyang Mansion. Although it was a meeting in Pingshui, the man on the city wall who was loyal and chivalrous made no one forget. He is like a green pine, so that the hungry and cold wandering victims have a place to live, and he is like a banner, so that the villagers in the city can live in peace in turbulent times.
Although Ji Ying's act of knocking on the door with a sword stole Chai Guangyun's limelight, no one can deny that the general who insisted on standing for several days and nights between responsibility and morality is more worthy of the admiration of everyone in the disaster area and even in Dazhou.
Zhou Yu couldn't guess why Chai Guangyun, who had no background and was inconspicuous, could become the deputy commander of Zhao Jun, maybe he and Guan Lei had a temper.
Although he admired the two commanders of Zhao Jun, Zhou Yu didn't have a clue how to fight this battle, but he was not worried. Sun Tzu said: "A soldier who surrenders without a fight is also a good man." ”
Zhou Jue is not as leisurely as his fifth brother.
In order to lure the evil soldiers and horses out of the city, Zhou Jue made a lot of money. He first pretended to be an unreliable son-in-law, and asked the soldiers to purchase grain, vegetables and meat with great fanfare, making the entire Huanglong City lively and lively, and making the Beidi people let down their vigilance, but in fact, Huanglong City was loose outside and tight inside, just waiting for the yin and evil to enter the urn.
In the Luochuan Shoal, a long team of Yan troops slowly drove towards Huanglong City with truckloads of grain one after another. However, if you look closely, you will find that although the grain cart is covered with grain and meat, the swords, spears, halberds, and shields pressed underneath are not completely hidden, but reflect a dazzling light in the winter sun.
Not far away, in the withered yellow grass lay a lot of sturdy men, these people were not wearing armor, their clothes were dark yellow, almost blending with the dead branches and rotten leaves covering their bodies. They stared at the long line of grain without blinking, not even daring to breathe too heavily, lest they show their tracks.
The short but powerful sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, accompanied by the arrogant howl characteristic of the prairie man. The leading yin and evil wielded a scimitar, and his face was full of presumptuous smiles.
The dust whipped up by the horses' hooves reminded the Yan army that the number of people attacking might have exceeded their expectations. They immediately took out their weapons and shields from the grain cart, threw the grain cart aside, and gathered nearby.
Seeing that the Yan army had abandoned the grain cart, the Beidi soldiers thought that the Yan army was frightened and wanted to surrender obediently. Yin and evil were even more happy, he held the horsewhip and laughed and said: "The fed sheep, what fighting spirit do you have, let the wolves of the steppe enjoy it to the fullest!" ”
The Beidi soldiers, like their leader, brandished their scimitars and let out a shout of victory in advance, their sharp blades pointed at the Yan soldiers, waiting for the sight of blood pouring out when the blade pierced their bodies.
Of course, the Yan army would not be as cowardly as the Beidi soldiers thought, on the contrary, the reason why they threw away the grain cart was to free up their hands to fight back. They form many squads, each in a circle, and they are well-layered and work together seamlessly.
The outermost layer is the shield soldiers, who firmly keep the enemy's scimitars out, and take advantage of the gaps between the shields to cut off the enemy's horse legs at the right time with iron hooks, scimitars and other weapons. Without mobile and nimble horses, it would be difficult for the Beidi soldiers to play to their strengths.
And then there were the pikemen. Their spears were different from those used before, and this time the barrels were deliberately lengthened by a foot, so that the soldiers could take advantage of their length and shoot back at the enemy under the cover of their shields.
At the innermost level are the crossbowmen, who fire their bows left and right, from near and far. Beidi soldiers are known for their strength and bravery, many soldiers use powerful, heavy hammers, chains, those weapons are smashed on the shield from top to bottom, it is easy to injure the shield soldiers, the formation is disrupted, at this time the crossbowmen are needed to take these people as the first target, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties of our army.
This combat method was designed by Zhou Jue in combination with the opinions of many generals, and he secretly did a long time of improvement and training, and even the spears and arrows and crossbows used were specially designed by Rong Zhe, for today's battle.
The Beidi cavalry had never seen such a formation, and the opponent was like an iron bucket with a steel needle, which had nowhere to start but was restrained everywhere, and was quickly wiped out.
The steppe horses that Beidi was proud of fell one after another under the continuous slashing, and the soldiers sitting on the horses were also forced to roll down, and then became the ghosts of the Yan army.
The corpses lay on the frozen surface of the Luochuan River, and slowly, a steady stream of warm blood was about to melt the ice.
The air, which had been frozen for a long time, boiled.
Yin Zhiyi realized that he had been fooled, and hurriedly shouted to withdraw the army, but he didn't expect that the bad luck had just begun.
A loud trumpet sounded from the grass, and tens of thousands of strong men rushed out with swords, led by Zhou Jue, the "gentleman".
In fact, after lying in ambush in the grass for such a long time, Zhou Jue, like every Yanjun brother, was both excited and anxious, and he had been impatient to wait for a long time, but the time was not ripe at that time. At this time, the Beidi people were just tigers who fell into Pingyang, and they were already vulnerable, and since the brothers had received the military order to attack, who would retain a little strength, they all became hunters of hunting, and they were invincible.
Under the internal and external attacks, the Beidi people were unable to form an army, and they tried to organize the army to resist several times, but they were quickly dispersed and suffered heavy losses. Knowing that the general trend was gone, the yin and evil anger was incomprehensible, he turned his head and saw Zhou Jue who was fighting bravely, and his stomach was full of resentment on the blade, and he slashed at Zhou Jue.
Although Zhou Jue is a prince, he has not experienced much battlefield battles on weekdays, but the kung fu he honed under the tent of King Huai'an when he was young is not a lie, it is just as real. He saw that his eyes were red and almost spurting blood, so he didn't dare to wait and greet him with all his might.
Yin Zhiyi held a big knife and slashed at Zhou Jue's body, and Zhou Jue narrowly avoided it, leaving a deep knife mark on the land. Of course, Yin and Evil were unwilling, he pulled out a big knife, and then slashed at Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue dodged a few times, took advantage of his unpreparedness to lean over and sweep his legs, trying to restrain the yin and evil in the lower plate, but the yin and evil in the lower plate were very solid, and he didn't move at all, and when he saw that the big knife was about to slash his face, he threw it under his crotch like a fish.
Yin Zhi Evil roared and pounced on Zhou Jue again, and Zhou Jue flipped over along Yin Zhi Evil's arm. Yin and evil pounced in the air, even more angry, grabbed Zhou Jue's shoulder with his backhand, Zhou Jue had no armor to protect, and was afraid of the opponent's big hand as strong as a fan, so he hurriedly retreated, but his clothes were still torn.
Zhou Jue's eyebrows furrowed, his sword blade flashed, and he turned to attack the upper body of Yin and Evil. Yin and evil are steady, how can they be broken in three moves and two styles, just a block, Zhou Jue's sword blade was stopped, and then a beautiful knife flower threw Zhou Jue out.
Zhou Jue didn't stand firm, and he almost fell. And at this moment, Yin Zhi Evil threw out a dart knife from his sleeve.
Zhou Jue only saw a delicate and sharp dart knife flying towards his façade like cold wind and lightning, and his brain exploded with a "buzz", and he didn't even have the strength to dodge.
Seeing that the crossbow was about to hit Zhou Jue's eyebrows, he was hit by a sudden crossbow arrow, and after making a crisp sound, he changed direction and threw it on the ground at will.
Without waiting for any reaction from the warring parties, a second crossbow bolt followed, heading towards the Evil Side. Yin Zhi didn't have time to dodge, but fortunately he reacted fairly quickly, and hurriedly blocked with a scimitar.
The arrows suppressed by the scimitar were fierce, and even if the target was a grassland man like Yin Zhixi, he was shocked by its aftermath and took a few steps back, almost falling down.
And a third arrow!
This time, Yin Zhi no longer had the ability to deal with it, and was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow. Blood gushed in all directions as the arrow was pulled out, and the barbs on the arrow made the flesh and blood of the obsessive shoulder blur instantly. The face of the evil man immediately turned white.
Zhou Jue did not let go of this excellent offensive opportunity. He raised his sword and slashed at the evil spirit. Yin and evil were already bare-handed and seriously injured, which was still Zhou Jue's opponent, and was quickly hacked to death by Zhou Jue.
The Beidi soldiers have been completely damaged, and occasionally the lucky ones have escaped with rolling and crawling, and the soldiers of the Yan army are too lazy to chase these lost dogs, after all, Luochuan City should have been recovered by now.
Zhou Jue, who had freed up his energy, could finally see who the warrior who shot the three arrows was, but he didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was really startled when he saw it.
