Chapter 127: Attack and Defense on the Hillside (3)
Ding Li's sudden attack. The plan of more than a dozen thief cavalry to take advantage of the situation to crash and break through the car wall was completely disrupted. It's not just the effect of just shooting and causing one death and one injury. It attracted the attention of more thieves. Thus giving the crowd behind the wall of the car a valuable time to win. Although it is extremely short-lived. But it was already enough to turn the tide.
The three dart masters wasted no time in aiming their short crossbows at the three thieves. The four archers quickly spread their bows as well. Although I was too anxious to fill it up. But the feathered arrows that flew out were enough to injure the horses outside the walls of the car.
Followed by. Six Zhang's guards armed with spears burst out of the gap between the carriages. There is no carriage to obstruct it. The spears that were nearly a foot long were easily handed to the cavalrymen. Or in front of the body of a war horse under their crotch.
Suddenly. The charge of the thief cavalry was cut off. in the crowd. The Tang knife in Ding Li's hand swung again. A thief who tried to stab Ding Li diagonally from the side was stabbed off his horse by a spear that suddenly appeared from his side and arrived first. And the thief soldier that Ding Li faced was also cut off his horse with a knife.
There is a round of counterattack by the crossbowmen behind the wall. Ding Li and the six Zhang guards no longer had a disadvantage in numbers. On the contrary, the thieves who failed to react were stunned by the sudden change. Except for the three thieves who were slightly on the side, seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly turned their mounts and escaped temporarily. The rest of the thieves were dead and wounded. The only two remaining were surrounded by four Zhang guards. The two flustered spears were aimed at the four skillfully coordinated Zhang guards—and there were a few more blood holes in the two thieves in their eyes.
The three cavalrymen who retreated in a hurry and tried to flee were also pursued by another wave of crossbow arrows and feathered arrows behind the chariot wall. fell one after another without suspense. A wave of attacks that attempted to break through the walls from the flanks ended with the annihilation of more than twenty men.
The other end of the wall. Due to the transfer of crossbowmen by Kuroko, there are two more crossbowmen than Ding Li. The overall battle was not so fierce at all. When you are ten steps away from the wall. The group of thieves, who had already outnumbered a few others, left behind more than a dozen corpses along the way. Promptly turned the horse and withdrew. Just at the time of the retreat. Although the thieves tried to crouch on their horses. But he was still shot dead by Kuroko and others. Update as soon as possible, and two other people were shot at their mounts. He fell off his horse and died under the iron hooves of his companions.
Although the fighting on both sides of the convoy went extremely smoothly and there were no casualties. However, the convoy was frequently defeated in the main battlefield. The two leaders of the thief army. Wang Qing and Zhang Wu are still very capable. In addition, the two of them temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions at the critical moment and joined forces to attack the people behind the car wall. In a short period of time, many of his men fell to the ground with arrows. But their total strength was too much of an advantage. Several times the superior forces. The dart masters behind the wall of the car and the guards of the Zhang family were very jealous.
It's almost a one-to-five force. Behind the wall of the car every one person fell. will tug at everyone's heartstrings. It makes everyone's nerves tense a lot. Even the Zhang guards who had not yet entered the battle and held spears. will also inadvertently quietly probe out to check the battle situation. And the palm of the hand holding the spear was constantly oozing sweat. Despite the timely wiping again and again. But it will reappear in just over ten seconds.
Ding Li and Kuroko had just transferred a small number of crossbowmen. As a result, the counterattack strength commanded by Li Shan behind the car wall was greatly weakened. Especially after the thieves outside the walls of the car gradually mastered the rhythm of shooting at each other. The casualties of the thieves, who had shields as a cover, began to gradually decrease. If it weren't for the fact that the dart masters behind the walls of the car were equipped with short crossbows. By the resistance of the short bow alone. It may be difficult to resist the thieves outside the walls.
What made Li Shan and the others even more panicked was the addition of Zhang Scar under the hillside. There is also the new force led by Qin Mo that has gathered in the middle of the mountain. Of course. What Li Shan and the others don't know is. It's not just that they are afraid of Qin Mo's cavalry. Even Zhang Scar, who has a small abacus in his heart, is very scruples. This is also the reason why Zhang Scar has not given the order to devote all his troops to launch a general attack.
"Brother Qin. It seems that the Wang Qing brothers can't do it. Zhang Scar hesitated in place for a long time, and finally urged his mount to come to Qin Mo's side under the protection of his subordinates. With a solemn face, he glanced at the more than ten people who had just been retreated by the sunspot's blockade. There was a slight dissatisfaction in his tone: "Brother Qin." You see. Do you want to go up to help the Wang Qing brothers? ”
"That's nature. What does Brother Zhang need? Just tell me what you want. Qin Mo nodded slightly. Then he frowned and asked, "Brother Zhang." This caravan. Why is there such a powerful armed force to protect. There are even short crossbows used in the army. ”
said. Qin Mo could no longer hide his scruples. A slight pause. With a hesitant face, he continued to add: "I have already observed it just now. There were about thirty short crossbows in the caravan. This is a force to be reckoned with. Brother Zhang. I didn't mean to shirk it. Fear. Just these brothers under my command. It's not enough for the other party to take a big bite. ”
Qin Mo's words were obviously shirking. But Zhang Scar couldn't deny the truth in the other party's words. Qin Mo's subordinates were even less than Wang Qing, nearly half. Forty or fifty men were all cavalry. And the overall quality seems to be a few points higher than Wang Qing. But if you really face the thirty short crossbows behind the car wall. Zhang Scar insisted on asking Qin Mo to lead people to rush up. That was tantamount to forcing Qin Mo to die. Zhang Scar didn't think that this guy next to him, who usually didn't talk much, would not have any resistance.
"Of course. Of course. Brother Qin said yes. How could I let Brother Qin go up by himself. There are not many brothers under Brother Qin. If you really want to go up like this. Won't I send my brothers to death? This kind of thing. I can't do it with a scar. Zhang Scar hurriedly nodded and laughed a few times. Let's first explain myself. Then his eyes rolled a few times. If there was a deep meaning, he stared at Qin Mo. Asked the other party's opinion in a low voice: "Brother Qin." Actually, you saw it too. Their counterattack was not so strong either. And. I don't believe it. They were able to carry enough crossbow bolts to fend off. But. I still want to hear Brother Qin's opinion first. After all, such a stalemate is not an option. According to Brother Qin. Shouldn't we change our plans? ”
"Hmm. Brother Zhang said. That's exactly what I thought. Qin Mo glanced sideways slightly, glancing at Zhang Scar. He knew that the other party was a very old fox. If it weren't for the fact that his brothers were too few and weak. Qin Mo didn't want to be a vassal by the other party's side. So when talking to Zhang Scar. Qin Mo always cheers up. lest you fall into the trap of the other party if you are not careful. The grumpy Wang Qing just now. Isn't it just that he was fooled by the other party's agitation method as cannon fodder after a few sentences?
Ponder for a moment. Qin Mo looked at Zhang Scar with a hesitant expression. But when he spoke, he was full of caution: "What Brother Zhang just said is right. I don't believe their crossbows will be enough to fend us off. I think. Brother Zhang is also thinking about this. I don't think they should be as aggressive on their flanks as they were just now. Instead, it should be a feint. Not only to grab their attention. And it can disperse their crossbowmen. Then concentrate superior forces. Assault on the front. ”
"That's right. It seems that it is really the same as the hero. A hint of cunning flashed in Zhang Scar's eyes. But at the same time, he raised his head and laughed a few times, completely hiding his pride. Then he frowned when he looked at Qin Mo. With an embarrassed face, he explained: "Brother Qin." You see. This is the case right now. Most of my brothers don't have mounts. This feint mission. ”
"Brother Zhang rest assured. Qin Mo should naturally take responsibility. "Hear the words. Qin Mo immediately understood what Zhang Scar meant. Don't hesitate. He immediately nodded heavily to indicate that he had taken the task. But Zhang's intentions are much more than that. After Qin Mo nodded happily in agreement. Zhang Scar's face was even more difficult. He looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and he opened his mouth back and forth several times, but he didn't say anything else. Until Qin Mo, who was watching from the side, was embarrassed☆ Finally, Qin Mo asked with a puzzled face: "Brother Zhang." Is there any difficulty? ”
"yes. Brother Qin, you really understand me. Zhang Scar nodded with an embarrassed look. With an embarrassed face, he raised his eyes and swept over Qin Mo and the people around him. Then he shook his head and sighed, "Brother Qin." You just said that. On both sides of the convoy we were going to feint. The main attack is still on the front. But you can see it on the front. There is a car wall in the way. If it is infantry alone. Fear. I'm afraid it's hard to make a breakthrough. ”
said. Zhang Scar deliberately looked back at his infantry on foot. With a wry smile, he spread his hands towards Qin Mo: "Brother Qin." You say≤ can't let them go up and push the wall of the car with both hands. ”
Now Qin Mo finally understood. However, Qin Mo, who knew what Zhang Scar was, didn't show anything. After all, the other party is a master who refuses to suffer. Think about it too. How could he let Qin Mo just take people to do some feint work?
But at this time, Qin Mo couldn't put forward any rebuttal. within the entire team. Although the two brothers have the largest number of troops. But the cavalry accounted for less than half of the total. However, there were as many as seventy or eighty percent of the cavalry under Wang Qing. Although Qin Mo's subordinates had the smallest number of men. But it was a pure cavalry. And they have all fought on the battlefield.
Most importantly. Wang Qing's cavalry couldn't come up with a decent whole number. Even the thirty cavalry that Zhang Wu took out just now. I haven't been able to see any of them still on horseback. And although there are still thirty or forty around Zhang Scar. But some of them are as pro-soldiers. The only cavalry. It was led by Qin Mo.
So. The main intention of Zhang Scar. I still want Qin Mo to be the main force in the main attack for a while.
Seeing that Qin Mo hung his head for a long time, he didn't respond. Zhang Scar was a little anxious. Deliberately glanced ahead. Then he pretended to urge Qin Mo anxiously: "Brother Qin." We've had quite a few brothers die. You can't bear it, let's just leave. That. How will you face your dead brother in the future? ”
"No, no, no. Brother Zhang, you misunderstood. "Hear the words. Qin Mo hurriedly raised his head and waved his hand at the other party to explain, "I didn't mean that. Of course, it can't be withdrawn. What did Brother Zhang say? I, Qin Mo, am greedy for life and afraid of death. Just my brothers. ”
"Understood. Got it. "Don't wait for Qin Mo to finish speaking. Zhang Scar suddenly opened his mouth and took over the conversation. Immediately, he said very happily: "Brother Qin, don't worry." It only takes a while to successfully break through this caravan. The first merit naturally belongs to Brother Qin and your brothers. As for the loot. Please also rest assured Brother Qin. We've never been based on numbers. It's about the credit. See the force. ”
