Chapter 10 Fighting the Crowd with Few

"Kill!"

As Liu Jian shot over a Xianbei person with an arrow, several servants behind him were in high spirits, and they all bent their bows and arrows, and followed Liu Jian to shoot at those Xianbei people.

Those who can follow the orders of the father-in-law and accompany Liu Jian to greet Gongsun Zan are naturally not just ordinary followers.

In recent years, the powerful and powerful in various places have wantonly annexed land, hid people, and kept apprentices in captivity, forming one manor lord force after another, and these manor lord forces, like one circle after another, big traps and small circles, interlocking with each other, both confrontation and collusion, fundamentally encroaching on the country's population productivity and economic lifeline.

A middle-class family like Liu Yuanqi in Zhuo County, although it can't support a self-sufficient manor force, but it is no problem to keep some housekeepers and nurses, and it is still no problem to raise some diners who are good at fighting and martial arts, although they will not raise 3,000 diners like Xinlingjun, but it is not a problem to raise 30 people with some skills.

These people chased with Liu Jian and shot Xianbei with arrows!

Shooting arrows on horses has a low hit rate, but this behavior can boost morale and suppress the initial hesitation.

Killing is only one aspect, the most important thing is the momentum, the right head is accurate, there is no momentum and the fighting spirit will not last long, there is no accurate head, but if the fighting spirit is enough, then the lethality is only a matter of time.

As long as there are enough arrows, a few will be hit sooner or later.

After a while, I don't know who shot another arrow, and hit a Xianbei person again, the other party shouted, and then fell off the horse.

Shooting two people in a row, their morale was greatly boosted, and everyone shouted loudly!

"Shoot Hu!"

"Shoot Hu!

"Shoot Hu!" ”

"That's not right!!"

The man who was the leader of Xianbei finally reacted, and he yanked the reins of his horse, and stopped the horses.

But because the crowd suddenly stopped their horses, and another man was struck by the arrow, although he did not fall off the horse, he was also wounded, and he cried out in pain, but he did not dare to pull out the arrow.

When the Han arrow is manufactured, it has a barb, and it is easy to shoot into it, but when you pull it out, you have to tear off the skin and flesh.

He turned his head to look behind him and said fiercely, "There aren't many of them!" Kill them and go! ”

The sound of the trumpet, the fire, and the stratagem may all be able to deceive the Xianbei people, but the Xianbei people have a strength that the Han people do not have, and no one can expect to hide it.

That's knowing horses.

Liu Jian and they don't chase, and the Xianbei people don't know the number of the other party, but once they chase the horses, the Xianbei people who have been with the horses all the year round only need to know the number of the other party by listening to the hooves of the war horses galloping behind them.

Even if he is in a panic, the ability to hear the sound of horses on the grassland all year round will not be indelible, for Xianbei, it is instinct.

"Mantle, now is not the time to compete with the Han army! If we delay for too long, we won't be able to run! Fu Luo croaked and shouted at the curtain.

Fuluo's words are indeed old-fashioned, but the mantle does not appreciate it.

"If you want to run yourself, I'll slaughter those tail chasing dogs first!"

Even if the other party will have foot soldiers to respond in the future, the man is confident that these knights who catch up first will be wiped out first, and then the horses will flee.

After saying that, the man led his dozen horsemen to divert and kill to the rear.

Fuluo stayed where he was, wanting to go but not daring to go.

If the mantle really succeeds, and returns to Danhan Mountain in the future, in front of Helian, the mantle will definitely accuse himself of the crime of not fighting.

Liu Jian was chasing the side and releasing arrows, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of him, and the sound of horses' hooves in front of him seemed to stop suddenly.

Liu Jian thought for a while and understood the other party's intentions.

He hurriedly reined in his horse and stood still, and shouted loudly: "The thief is coming against the horse, don't be cowardly, follow me to meet the enemy in a roundabout way, and wait for rescue!" ”

Fortunately, they were now in a dense forest, and the trees and grass branches in the forest had a certain hindrance effect on the heroic horses of Xianbei, which was a good thing for them stragglers.

Even if the others turned around, it would be impossible for them to run wild with all their might, which was very beneficial to Liu Jian and the others.

Han Qi immediately turned around and hurried away in the other direction.

While walking, Liu Jian did not forget to instruct everyone to use bows and arrows to shoot again in the direction where the Xianbei people came from, even if the hit rate is low, as long as it can block the pace of the other party, it is enough!

The man turned his head to chase, but found that the other party's Han troops had turned their horses, and they not only changed their routes, but also seemed to know that they wanted to seize the upper hand, and they could use a favorable angle to confront their own side.

"Han dog cunning!"

The man snorted coldly, and then turned to another way.

The Xianbei people increased the speed of their horses and tried to maintain a parallel position with the other party, so that they could shoot up and down each other, and even if they couldn't grab the upper hand, they would not let these bold Han riders take advantage of anything else.

On the horse, the Xianbei people are really capable!

Liu Jian secretly said in his heart, his subordinates did not dare to be careless, and he could not easily change his direction at this moment.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Stay in formation, keep up your speed, and don't be slower than the thief. Seeing that the Hu people were getting closer and closer, Liu Jian turned sideways and changed the order to a few people behind him.

"Shaolang-kun, how can you make it if you don't release arrows?"

"Act when you have the opportunity, don't let the thieves surround us." Liu Jian explained.

The best way now is to fight a protracted war, the longer the better, but if you want to last, you must save arrows.

Tactics and horses are only one aspect, the most important thing is to see the mood of both sides at the moment.

Liu Jian knows the details of the other party, but Xianbei does not know their details, the longer the time, the more bottomless they are.

The Xianbei people chased after each other, thinking that they would meet each other in short quarters, but now it has become a matter of seeing who runs fast, which is really aggrieved.

They don't have enough time, and if they delay like this, if the other party's county soldiers really arrive, the consequences are really unpredictable.

Of course, the support of the county soldiers or something, in fact, does not exist.

Before they could, the Hu team forced to a position sixty paces apart from each other, and then did not force any closer, otherwise it would be easy to make the distance between the two sides get farther and farther.

They relied on the strength of the crowd and kept making rough laughs, wanting to hit the morale of the Han people, and from time to time bone arrows flew towards the opposite side, but they were in a downwind position and too far away, but there was no possibility of hitting.

Liu Jian looked sideways and roughly estimated the distance between the two sides, everything was already expected by him.

He quickly drew a feathered arrow from the quiver and shifted his weight to the improvised pedal of his horse.

Yes, Liu Jian's horse has two stirrups.

In this era, most knights used single stirrups, and double stirrups were not popular, so Liu Jian secretly equipped himself with one, which was not shown on weekdays, just for the critical moment to use it alone.

There are some things that should not be exposed at the right time, nor should they be promoted too much.

If something good is to come out, it depends on the timing.

Although his double stirrups are simple, they are easy enough to use compared to others, at least they can greatly enhance stability, thus indirectly improving the accuracy of mounted shooting.

In the process of twisting his waist and turning around, he opened the bowstring and aimed at the nearest Hu man who rushed to the front and shouted the most.

The Hu man rushed to the front of the team from beginning to end, as if it was the leader of this group of horse thieves, and in this case, of course, the thief must capture the king first.

It is not an easy task to shoot moving objects, let alone on the back of a bumpy horse, but Liu Jian is currently in the upper hand, and he has the advantage of horse pedaling, so he is confident that he can create some deterrent.

Hold your breath, bow steadily, and feel the rhythm of the bumpy ride under your crotch.

"Medium!"

In an instant, he let go of his bowstring, and the feathered arrows flew out with a scream.

Although his eyesight was not as good as his eyesight, the leader's sixth sense was extremely keen, and he noticed Liu Jian's posture of opening the bow just in time, and after hearing the sound of arrows, he hurriedly lowered his head and dodged sideways.

The whistling feather arrows grazed his horse's head and then his shoulder, avoiding the vital point, but causing the feathered arrows to pass through and finally hit the other Xianbei who followed him.

"Ah~~!"

The Xianbei man who was hit by the arrow screamed in pain, and after holding on to his horse for a short time, he staggered and fell, swallowed up by the hooves of his companions behind.

"Shaolang Jun Shenwei!"

"Shaolangjun Divine Shot!"

Although it was hit by mistake, this arrow still surprised the two parties.

Angry and jealous, he cursed a lot, and then shot two arrows in the direction of Liu Jian with his bow.

The rest of the Hu people followed suit, shooting more than a dozen arrows scattered, but unfortunately it was not a tailwind, and there was no horse pedal, the sky was not bright, and they had to slow down the horse speed when they opened the bow and aimed, not to mention catching up with Liu Jian, even a few followers behind Liu Jian could not touch the slightest.

More than a dozen arrows shot by Yu Man and others all missed, which not only ruined his face, but also set off the prestige of the Han people.

Today, this person is a big loss for Xianbei, but this is mainly because this place is the opponent's home field, and it is in the forest at night.

The stark contrast immediately caused the crowd behind Liu Jian to cheer again.

Liu Jian heard the cheers of the crowd, and he was also arrogant for a while, and he shouted: "How can such a person who does not return to the king be the enemy of Hanlang?" What a pebble hits a stone! ”

In this place, the morale of the party with fewer people is getting higher and higher!

Seeing that the other party is cunning and difficult, although he is angry, he has no choice, the matter is urgent at the moment, it is not appropriate to entangle, since he can't get benefits from the other party, he has to evacuate quickly.

But before the mantle ordered all the Xianbei to turn their horses, a sudden change occurred!

A horse suddenly came out from the other direction and went straight to the mantle of the leader.

Fourteen-year-old Zhang Fei is extremely brave, although he has not grown up, he is also showing his majestic posture at this moment!

The more than ten Xianbei people only thought that the Han people would shoot at their own side, but they didn't think that they would take the usual path and suddenly send a person to fight into their own camp from the side.

This kind of thing, even Xianbei people who live in the desert licking the knife edge will rarely do it.

Unless it is ten thousand enemies, or a pure reckless man will do this, isn't this sending himself alive to the encirclement of the other party?

But obviously, the young man with a sword and a horse in front of him belongs to the former.

The courage of 10,000 people!

Zhang Fei galloped and roared, and in an instant, he came to the front of the mantle.

"The thief is headed!" A loud roar rang out in the air.

He was shocked by the other party's momentum, and he lost his ability to adapt for a while, and he could only 'woo woo' and say curses that Zhang Fei didn't understand and didn't bother to listen to.

A sword slashed horizontally, and he suddenly felt a lack of oxygen in his brain, and then he saw that all the dark things in front of him seemed to be upside down, and after a moment of dizziness, his head and neck were separated, and he swung a circle in the air, and fell heavily on the grass.

Zhang Fei slashed the mantle with a sword, and then raised his head and let out a long roar into the night sky.

His voice was extremely loud, and it shook the sky completely in the dark night, and the eardrums of the Hu people on the side of the shock were bulging, and his heart was empty.

Subconsciously, those Hu people thought that the county soldiers of the Han Dynasty had come to support.

It is no wonder that although the sky is still dark, Zhang Fei's skills and movements are still roughly seen by those Xianbei people.

With such courage and swordsmanship, among the county soldiers in Youzhou, at least he must be a commander-level figure!

Some people are born to go to the battlefield to fight the material, even if they are newborn calves, they are stronger than those who have been trained in the battle formation for two or three years, just like Fan Hao in the early Han Dynasty, the most common words in the book of merit for a lifetime are 'first to ascend' and 'beheading', from the beginning of his first battle, this dog slaughterer began to chop off people's heads for meritorious service, far more terrifying than veterans who have fought for many years.

Facts have proved that there are too many fierce generals hidden in the butchers of the Han Dynasty, following the slaughter of dogs four hundred years ago, Zhuojun now has a fierce warrior who kills pigs.

The Xianbei people lost their leader and began to retreat, and Zhang Fei's roar also reached Liu Jian's ears, and he probably guessed the situation over there.

"The thief wants to escape!"

Liu Jian decisively beckoned everyone to turn their horses and follow him, and at the same time instructed a few people behind him: "Listen, don't scatter later, follow closely behind me, let's attack the team on their left in the north." ”

"Rush! We will follow Shaolang-kun! ”

Liu Jian roughly counted the arrows in the quiver, and then slapped the horse stock and took the lead.

And Zhang Fei cooperated with Liu Jian from the other direction to chase those Xianbei.

Coincidentally, Fu Luo and more than a dozen other Xianbei were chasing after him in the direction of the curtain.

Seeing that the two teams of Hu cavalry were about to reconcile, Liu Jian suddenly ordered: "Don't pay attention to the fleeing Hu people, stare at their stalled horses!" ”

The goal of Liu Jian and the others is not to completely destroy these Hu cavalry, in terms of their number and combat quality, it is almost an impossible task, and the one who can completely take the stage is probably Zhang Fei, Liu Jian, and Liu Bei.

Shicai and others chased after Liu Jian, Liu Jian and the others could only grind and drag with them, at this time the leader of the other party died, and the rest were scattered, so the rest was to be captured alive.

Shooting horses is obviously one of the best options.

When approaching those Hu Qi, Liu Jian drew his bow and shot without hesitation.

At this time, he no longer cared about accurate shooting, he only wanted to be able to cause more casualties on the opponent's horses in the shortest possible time, so as to trap a few more Hu people, and it was unrealistic to leave all the opponents behind, but as long as he caught one or two alive, it would be considered a success tonight!

After the entourage in the rear approached, they also followed Liu Jian's example and shot quickly, and the continuous shooting of more than a dozen people immediately spread out a small rain of arrows, and Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were also among them.

The "rain of arrows" struck downwind, enveloping half of the Xianbei people.

The problem is that Xianbei doesn't know the truth, I don't know if the other party will continue to increase the number of troops, plus the heart is weak, so he can only flee vigorously, and then he was shot down five or six horses, in addition to many other people were injured by arrows.

The wounded screamed with arrows, clinging to the horse's back to avoid falling off the horse, urging the horse to run quickly, and the horses that were hit by the arrow suffered pain, and overturned the person off their backs, which disrupted the formation.

"Divide your hands and catch those thieves who have landed!"

Seeing that someone on the other side had already fallen off the horse and could not form a formation, Liu Jian seized the opportunity to continue to shoot and kill, and hurriedly ordered people to capture him alive.

This job naturally fell on Zhang Fei, he is the most courageous of his own people, although those Hu people are down, who knows if there is still combat power, if the melee is captured, only Zhang Fei can do it.

These unclear situations without a will to fight, and the loss of their leader, only caring about fleeing for their lives, no one has the heart to calmly consider the advantages and disadvantages.

"Deran, you're okay!" Liu Bei caught up with Liu Jian and went hand in hand with him.

"Hahaha, rest assured! Unharmed! No harm! ”

"Okay, let's catch up." Liu Bei was also full of blood at the moment, and shouted in an excited tone.

"Chase!"
