Chapter 0338: Defection
Early the next morning, Shi Qi unexpectedly led his troops out of Handan City and lined up his troops.
More than 100,000 soldiers were lying on the vast plain, the grass was growing and the warblers were flying, and the cold wind was bitter, as if two huge torrents were about to collide.
Ran Min was a little surprised that Shi Qi dared to fight, but this was also a reasonable thing. Don't look at the many princes and coalition troops led by Shi Qi, but there are not many elites, and they have just experienced the defeat of the Battle of Cangting, their morale is low, and their combat effectiveness is minimal!
Moreover, Shi Qi's coalition army suffered defeats one after another, lost their helmets and unloaded their armor, and even lost their grain and grass baggage in Cangting and Changcheng, so in Handan City, the coalition army did not have much grain and straw, and it would not last long to support so many soldiers and horses to eat and chew horses.
The reason why Shi Yi went to war should be a last resort!
But this is exactly what Ran Min wants.
It's just that Ran Min is still a little confused, at the front end of Zhao Jun's team is not an elite army, about 3,000 soldiers, but one-third of them are prisoners in prison uniforms!
"It seems that Ishiki has been forced to hurry." Ran Min smiled slightly, and the horse whip pointed at the Chinese army of Zhao Jun on the opposite side.
Qin Mu said: "King, we should have a quick decision. β
Ran Min nodded, then drew his sword and shouted, "Attack!" β
"Boom! ......" was the infantry phalanx of the Wei army that advanced first.
The infantry phalanx of the Wei army was huge, and they marched slowly like a towering high wall in a uniform pace, and a large area of black pressure was crowded.
Seeing this scene, Rao has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and the soldiers who have killed people can't help but shudder.
The distance was far away and it was not within the range, so Zhao Jun's strong bow and crossbow were not fired, but Shi Qi also knew the truth that the first strike was stronger.
"Let the prisoners go first!" If you are determined to use these prisoners as cannon fodder, Shi Qi will not have the slightest mercy.
No, as soon as the order from Shi Qi's side was issued, Hu Yansheng, the general in charge of commanding the vanguard troops, urged the 1,000-strong prisoners to take the lead.
These 1,000 prisoners, all of them are ragged, do not wear battle armor, in addition to the prison uniforms on their bodies, and the standard weapons in their hands, in fact, they look like ordinary bandits!
As he walked forward, Lu Gan glanced at Wang Xiaoer and the others.
"Do it!"
"Poof! ......" Lu Gan was strong in martial arts, and he swung his sword to kill a lieutenant behind him at the first time, and then bullied himself and rushed into the phalanx of the Zhao army.
"Kill!"
At this time, Zhao Jun's soldiers were all confused!
Unexpectedly, these prisoners turned against each other in front of the battle!
Of course, there are still the vast majority of prisoners who have not received the news, but they are not willing to work for Shi Qi, let alone act as cannon fodder, so under the provocation of Lu Gan and others, they have taken up weapons and turned their backs to fight with those Zhao pawns!
"Brethren!" Wang Xiaoer killed an enemy, his blood-stained clothes, he still had an ecstatic look on his face, and shouted loudly, "Shi Qi has no way, contrary to the heavens and the earth, and now the king of Wei has come with a king's master, which is to solve our urgent need!" Why don't you join me in killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions! β
Seeing this scene, the Wei soldiers who were still moving forward suddenly stopped their pace of advancement, and the phalanx was stagnant.
"This ......" Ran Min was also confused.
Qin Mu next to him said with a smile: "King, it seems that what Shi Qi has done has made people angry. In the past battle of Muye, the slaves defected to the army of King Wu of Zhou, and now these prisoners have defected to the king, doesn't this show that we are righteous soldiers? β
Ran Min was suddenly overjoyed: "The whole army presses up!" Kill the outnumbered! β
"Kill! Come on! β
The soldiers of the Wei army here are like a flood that has opened the floodgates, instantly spraying on this huge plain, washing everything and washing everything!
"Traitor! Take your life! β
Seeing that Lu Gan killed a school captain, snatched the latter's war horse and rushed to kill him, Hu Yansheng was furious, and he raised a horse lance and went straight to Lu Gan.
It is worth mentioning that the predecessor of the horse lance was the spear, but the horse lance is more powerful than the spear, and of course, the cost is higher.
The length of the horse lance can reach up to 4 meters, so it is also called the Zhangba spear, Zhang Fei used this thing, the front end of the lance is similar to a short sword, which can be cut and sharpened, and there is usually a complex under the blade, so that the war horse will not penetrate the opponent when charging at high speed, and the blade is forged with an iron rod.
The iron rod is wrapped with tough wood or bamboo, glued with shellac, fish bladder glue and pig skin glue, and then brushed with lacquer to close it, keep it from dehydration and cracking, wrap hemp rope outside, soak it in tung oil, paint it after drying, wrap it in kudzu cloth, and then paint it when it dries, usually weigh about fifteen to twenty pounds, and it will not be able to use it if it is not fierce.
Lu Qian had already snatched a spear at this time, so he was not afraid of Hu Yansheng, who was holding a horse lance and was full of murderous spirit, but was more and more warlike!
"Bell!"
The collision between the spear and the horselance sent out a violent spark and trembled at the same time.
As soon as I fought like that, Hu Yansheng felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and I felt that something was not good in my heart, and it was very bad!
Lu Gan didn't care so much, the spear climbed up the pole like a python, and swiped directly, forcing Hu Yansheng to let go of his hand between the lightning and flint, and the horse lance fell to the ground.
"Phewβ"
Lu Gan pulled the reins of the war horse, the head of the war horse rose high, and his hooves kicked forward, Lu Gan directly stabbed out the spear, Hu Yansheng didn't have time to dodge, so he was poked in a bloody hole in his heart.
Hu Yansheng was a little incredulous, lowered his head, opened his mouth wide and looked down at the spear that penetrated his chest, and finally tilted his unwilling head and died of anger!
"Who is this! It's so brave! Ran Min pointed to Lu Gan, who had killed Hu Yansheng, and asked left and right.
Hu Yansheng, who can be regarded as a generation of famous generals, is a rare general among the Hu generals!
But right now, that prisoner was able to kill Hu Yansheng alone in less than two rounds, and he was as strong as this. Ran Min asked himself, he can do it, but it is a pity that such a peerless fierce general does not recruit him to his command, for his own use!
But left and right don't know who the prisoner who killed Hu Yansheng is.
Ran Min said loudly: "This person must get it!" What a 'beautiful woman'! β
Lu Gan didn't know that he had been remembered by Ran Min at this time, and he still continued to go deep into the Zhao army formation regardless of it, wanting to take Handan City in one go.
At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army had already killed the past and fought with the Zhao army.
Seeing this, Shi Qi knew that something was wrong, so he ordered the generals and personal soldiers around him to block Lu Gan's advance, and he was smeared with oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
Lu Gan was really brave, and with his own strength, he killed more than 20 generals of the Zhao army, rushed left and right, and entered a no-man's land, and the enemies who died in his hands were not a hundred but eighty!
After the war, Ran Min appreciated Lu Gan, so he made him a lieutenant and commanded thousands of soldiers.
