Chapter 217: It's Dark

After Lu Qian cleaned up people's hearts, he ordered the whole army to kill pigs and sheep, and sacrifice flags to go to war. 1,500 people in Renchengguo, in the battle on the north bank of Pushui, went straight to the camp in Shanyang.

The two are fifteen miles apart, and Lu Qian, He Xu, Jing Zhou, and Fanyan are connected to each other, and they can deal with the ambush of the Taishan army at any time. In this way, they walked cautiously all the way for four miles, and then saw a tragedy, only to see that on the wilderness on the shore of Pushui, there were broken flags, and the corpses of the Han army in crimson military uniforms were everywhere.

Lu Qian, who had been walking in front of the army, only glanced at it, and immediately asked the soldiers to blow the horn, and ordered the troops to immediately form a car formation.

The soldiers of Rencheng are also well-trained, and when the drums and horns sounded, the military officials urged the soldiers to draw spears from the chariots, and then the chariots were connected, and the spears were facing outward, forming a simple chariot formation.

Sure enough, the Han soldiers had just formed a formation, and in the dusty front, the Taishan army flew to cross from the shallow place of Pushui, and the horses did not stop, and the tail chased and killed.

Lu Qian saw that the military uniform of the corpse of the Han army was still there, and guessed that the Taishan thief was close to the left. Because in any military battle, the military uniforms on the enemy's body are important captures, and if the Taishan thieves have finished fighting, it is impossible not to take away these military uniforms.

In the face of the roaring of the herds of horses, the soldiers of Rencheng, who rarely fought against the cavalry group, were inevitably panicked and their banners were crooked. But Lu Qian stood in front of the whole army, and shouted loudly with the loudest voice in his life:

"Brethren, gentlemen. Today will be the most important day of our lives, we will destroy this group of moths and thieves on the banks of this water, and we will destroy this group of locusts that have killed our wives and children. And I, Lu Qian, will fight side by side with everyone, with me as the leader. I retreat, and you will cut off my head. If you retreat, then we will die here together. ”

After speaking, he sang loudly:

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”

Later, Lu Qian raised an iron spear and sang:

"Hah!"

All the soldiers should make peace:

"Hah!"

For a time, thousands of people were in the same breath, the cry was like thunder, and the breath was like fog. The long soldier clenched his spear and waited for the subsequent impact, and the crossbowman held the shooter in preparation for a thunderous shot.

However, the rushing Taishan army cavalry did not charge, but directly split into two in front of the Renchengguo army formation and bypassed.

Lu Qian, who was standing in front of the formation, was nervous, and secretly said that it was not good, so he hurriedly turned back, only to see that this group of cavalry did not care about them at all, and drove the horse forward directly.

It was the location of the camp of the city state.

The soldiers of Ren Chengguo thought that they would experience a bloody battle, but who knew that the thief rode away without a fight. The joy of surviving and the glory of winning without a fight made them roar as if they had experienced a great victory.

Lu Qian also shouted. But he knew in his heart the seriousness of the problem at the moment, and these cavalry were trying to cut off his back road. The camp of Rencheng is the supply of the whole army, if it is occupied by Taishan thieves, they are alone, how can they survive?

Who is this thief, and how can he be so sophisticated?

The one who led this cavalry was Tian Jun, a general under Zhang Chong!

His people followed the rout of the Shanyang soldiers and pursued them all the way until they met the Han soldiers' chariot formation on the south bank of Pushui. Tian Jun looked at the banner and knew that this was Ren Chengguo's reinforcements, and then saw that the chariot formation was very strong, so he did not attack, but used the strange cavalry to directly attack the camp of this Han soldier, so that it could not advance or retreat.

At the same time, Dian Wei, Yu Ban, Li Bi, and Gao Ya also came out of the lurking grass and began to encircle the soldiers of the city. It turned out that these four soldiers were the culprits who had just ambushed the Shanyang soldiers.

Before, the four divisions of Dian Wei were strangling the rout soldiers fleeing south on the communication line, and they were about to clean up the battlefield, when suddenly smoke and dust rose from the south, and it was obvious that the soldiers of Rencheng from the south were dispatched.

Dian Wei discussed with Yu Ban and decided to hide on the spot and ambush the Han soldiers who were going north.

But who knew that these Han soldiers were so cautious, and unfortunately Tian Jun also waded across the river with a turquoise horse. Dian Wei and the others knew that it would be more difficult to ambush this Han army again.

But it doesn't matter, since the ambush doesn't work, it's a direct siege.

Dian Wei and Yu Ban have already calculated that there are only 1,500 Rencheng soldiers who went north to rescue this time, and the two of them, Li Bi and Gao Ya combined, a total of 2,000 elite soldiers in the four divisions, can completely eat the subordinates in one bite.

Therefore, Dian Wei stood up from the grass, waved the flag behind him, and for a while, all the soldiers rose from the ambush, so he reorganized the army in a generous manner, and then continued to besiege the soldiers of Rencheng in the car.

The mood of the soldiers in the car formation was like a roller coaster. Just now I was cheering for my "defeat" of the thief horse, but at this moment, one after another thieves suddenly emerged from the grass and from behind the rocks, scolding my mother, what kind of thieves are these! So cunning?

But that's it, the morale of the soldiers of Rencheng is high at the moment, and they are eager to have a great future in today's battle.

Therefore, one side is a hundred battles of elite soldiers, and the other side is the national economic system, both of them have the intention to kill thieves and have high morale. That's simple, just on the shore of this water, let's fight to the death!

In this battle, Dian Wei, as the main general, discussed with Yu Ban, Li Bi, and Gao Ya, and divided the whole army's 2,000 armor soldiers into three sides, with Dian Wei's main attack on the south of the enemy formation, Yu Ban's troops squeezed the west of the enemy formation, and Li Bi and Gao Ya led the troops to squeeze the east of the enemy formation, and let go of the north alone, planning to drive the enemy army to Pushui.

Then the horns were raised, and the various departments began to arrange the military order according to the military discussion, and the four troops marched in unison from three sides, and began to squeeze the Renchengguo army and vehicle formation step by step.

Finally, about 500 paces away from the enemy's formation, the flag of Weyton was raised, and the whole army stopped. At this distance, the armor bearers in the front row of the Taishan army can already see the enemy soldiers of the opposite car battalion, these enemy soldiers still look immature, but these Taishan soldiers do not have a small look.

The veterans who have been killed by the Taishan Army to the present have long understood a truth. Recruits will still be able to shoot arrows that will kill them. The battlefield is the fairest and the most uncertain, and it is not uncommon for warriors to be attacked and killed by the weak.

At this time, the rangers of the two sides began to make contact, and just in front of the battle in this mile, their respective horsemen began to fight in pairs, showing their superb fighting skills.

It's different from what most people think that the car formation will only stick to. The chariot formation of the Han soldiers will be covered by cavalry on the outer flank, which is called both offensive and defensive. This tactic originated from the need to fight out of the fortress during the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Han army went deep into the grassland, and all exploration and attack operations relied on cavalry, but the Han army pioneered the addition of chariot soldiers to the cavalry, which was specially used as a shore island for baggage and cavalry. Whenever the Han cavalry went out to explore, raid and cavalry, they would return to the chariot formation to rest or get supplies. This is very similar to the relationship between aircraft carriers and battle clusters.

So at this moment, as soon as the two sides stand still, the first to break out into a fierce conflict is the rangers of the two sides, to test each other's combat strength.

The rangers are fighting here, and the snails are all over in the Han soldier chariot array, and I don't know what military orders are being transmitted. In short, I saw that the car formation, which had only one circle before, contracted one after another in the spiral, forming a double-layer circle front.

Obviously, when the Han soldiers did not have an advantage in troops, they chose to shrink the defensive line and reduce the contact surface of the outer circle of the vehicle formation.

Here, the ranger battle has ended, Taishan's four soldiers, a total of 50 of their own soldiers and elite cavalry to participate in the battle, and the opposite Han soldiers and rangers only 30 horses, so in terms of numbers, it is in an overwhelming position, and the victory naturally belongs to the Taishan army.

Legion battles, with less to win more. But the smaller the battle, the more important it is to the number of people.

The cavalry who led this team of rangers was Zhang Lie, the leader of Dian Wei's army. His person was specially poached by Dian Wei from the frustrated flying army, although he was not very old, he had already participated in many major battles, and was especially good at this kind of small-scale cavalry battle.

Zhang Lie's right arm was rubbed by the enemy general, and there was a big wound, but fortunately it was not deep. Several companions around him persuaded Zhang Lie to return to the battle and let the doctor bandage it, but he was unmoved, and still excitedly led the rangers to drive away the remnants of the Han army.

This is also the old tactic of the Taishan army, once the enemy soldiers are defeated, they will subconsciously drive the remnants to rush into the enemy formation to see if they can break through.

But obviously, this group of Han cavalry are also veterans, although as soon as they came into contact, the twenty cavalry on their side directly fell off the horse and eight cavalry, and they could no longer fight, but when they retreated, they were also in order. They bypassed their own army and went directly to the north, where there were no Tarzan thieves, and they could calmly return to the car formation to regroup.

Zhang Lie saw that it was useless to drive the remnants of the cavalry into battle, so he could only do it, and only scattered around the camp to observe the possible fighters at any time.

Here's what the real guns are doing!

Dian Wei immediately ordered:

"Order all departments to continue to advance, keep marching and drumming, and command each on the left and right."

Then the probe horse, who had been waiting for a long time, galloped on both sides and told Yu Ban, Li Bi and Gao Ya.

In the sound of the drums, the Taishan army marched on three sides, such as Lin Changge walking slowly, mighty and solemn.

With his hands on the pergola, Dian Wei thought about the battle when he followed Qu Kui Zhang Chong in the past, and asked himself, if Qu Kui was here, how would he choose to break the formation?

In the field of vision, although this Han soldier set up a car formation, but its soldiers are obviously not as good as the soldiers they met in Bo County in the first half of the year, the one called Liu Yanzha is the real iron wall, the one in front of him is still a little less meaningful, at first it was considered to be neatly arranged, but as he took his subordinates to further press forward, the opposite side was obviously chaotic.

As far as Dian Wei could see, from time to time, he could see Han officials wielding big sticks in the enemy formation, whipping those subordinates who were in a hurry.

Seeing this, Dian Wei's heart was settled. He shouted:

"The archer raises the bow."

The archers, who had already been prepared, raised their bows one after another, waiting for the next military order.

The phalanx of the Taishan army continued to move, and soon came to a place only two hundred paces away from the Han army's chariot array. Dian Wei waved the red flag. Zhao Chong, the general who had already walked to the archer team, immediately responded to the flag, and then shouted to the two hundred archers:

"Two hundred steps ahead."

Hearing this, the feathers began to draw the strings and bend their bows.

After the phalanx continued to walk, Zhao Pet shouted again:

"The first one hundred and fifty steps, three rapid fire misses."

Subsequently, the arrows were like feathered locusts, flying in front of the car formation.

At the same time, the armor bearers at the forefront of the Dian Wei Department also began to suffer from the rain of arrows from the Han soldiers. The huge impact made these armor-bearers only kneel to resist, and it was difficult to provide some protection for their comrades behind.

But the armor bearer in front stopped, and the phalanx of the Taishan army continued to advance. The bearers of the back row continued to hold the big ones high, ten steps forward, then stood up, then the third row approached, and then the first row of armor charged, so the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

At this time, Zhao Pet had already ordered the archers to start shooting freely, especially to shoot more places where there were many enemy soldiers.

Screams erupted from both camps, but overall, the Tarzans suffered fewer casualties due to their astonishing armor rate. Moreover, there is a mature team of medical craftsmen in the rear, who are constantly dragging the injured soldiers down for treatment.

When there were only ten steps ahead, the spear raised by the enemy formation shone with an icy cold light, revealing a cold murderous aura. But at this moment, the wall in the front row of the Taishan Army suddenly opened, directly revealing the forty big yellow crossbows hidden behind the tree. This is the killing move that Dian Wei prepared for this Han soldier.

This batch of big yellow crossbows was captured from the Northern Army in the previous battle of Puyangjin, in fact, there were only twenty of them assigned to Dian Wei, and the remaining twenty were borrowed by him, Yu Ban, Li Bi, and Gao Ya.

Sure enough, in the outermost row of the camp, the Han soldiers who were about to hold spears and stabbing suddenly saw the rows of big yellow crossbows in front of them, their minds were blank, and then their eyes were dark.

In just one round, the powerful rhubarb crossbow directly emptied the spear-wielding Han soldiers in front of him, and then when the rest of the Han soldiers were still in a daze, Zhao Pet, who was wearing two layers of armor, directly pulled out the iron bone on his waist, put down the armor, suddenly accelerated and ran wildly, and then jumped into the car formation.

But because of the problem of the visor blocking the field of vision, Zhao Pet didn't see the Han soldiers under his feet.

After the Han soldier was pierced through his chest by the rhubarb crossbow, he did not die immediately, but vomited blood there, but the only breath he had left, also because when Zhao Pet jumped into the car formation, even someone with armor stepped on his chest, and directly stepped on his breath.

But Zhao Pet also fell to the ground directly because of this trip. Then several blades slashed at him. Zhao Pet couldn't see it, he only knew that the bell was ringing all over his body, and he subconsciously curled up his whole body together to shrink the impact surface.

Soon, the armor soldiers who rushed into the car formation with Zhao Pet killed the Han soldiers who cut Zhao Pet and pulled him up. Zhao Pet was dizzy at this time, and after being helped up, he didn't know if he was injured at all.

More worried than him were Zhao Pet's soldiers, as soon as they helped Zhao Pet up, they looked at his injuries, and then found that the Han soldiers before had slashed a few times, all of which were cut on the stomach, and Zhao Pet had nothing to do.

Then, in Zhao Chong's shaking sight, the first soldier patted Zhao Chong, shaking his head, indicating that it was okay. At this time, Zhao Pet put his mind at ease and began to shake his head to sober up quickly.

As soon as Zhao Chong stopped, the twenty armorers who jumped into the car formation only barely surrounded him in a circle and struggled to support him in the car formation. Although they have armor and stomach protection, they are surrounded by enemy soldiers with spears and halberds, and they suffer too much. If you are not careful, one of you will be caught by the enemy soldier and dragged away by the armor.

Just when Zhao Pet and the others who had entered the car formation were in danger, another song general, Xu Xi, also jumped into the formation with a team of armor soldiers, and connected with Zhao Pet and others, directly pushing back the Han soldier line. Some Han soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, so they panicked and walked to the second row of cars in the circle.

The rout is like a plague, and it quickly spreads to the surroundings. In a moment, the south of the Rencheng State car formation fell.

Zhao Pet was already sober, and when he saw that the Han soldiers on the opposite side were panicking, he made persistent efforts and wanted to break through the second lap of the car formation in one go.

Suddenly, at this moment, a loud cry came from behind the crowded enemy soldiers in front of him:

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

Zhao Pet was still wondering what was going on, and suddenly saw the retreating Han soldiers parting like encountering a reef, and then rushed towards a white strong armor soldier holding an iron spear. He leaped in one step, pierced Zhao Pet's armor stomach with a spear, and then used his arms to directly provoke Zhao Pet.

At this time, Zhao Pet was not dead, and when he was provoked by Lu Qian, he glanced at the sky, and then was smashed to the ground.

Why is it getting dark!
