Chapter 80: Appearance
"Whoosh..." After traveling for a while, more than ten arrows suddenly shot out of the forest, the speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they were in front of Liu Jie and the others.
"Enemy attack, be on alert." The sudden arrow did not make Liu Jie's face change greatly, on the contrary, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and he raised his long sword very calmly and shouted.
The unknown is the most dangerous, and now that the fish have finally surfaced, there is no threat. Liu Jie believed that the soldiers he had trained for several months would definitely be able to destroy this gang of bandits.
The sound of arrows roaring, Liu Jie's warning, and the soldiers were already prepared, at this moment they were hiding behind the cart in an orderly manner. But despite this, five people were shot and fell to the ground.
"Ahh The five soldiers who had fallen to the ground pressed down on the spot where they had been struck and fell to the ground wailing.
"Don't scream, you can't die." Liu Jie snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly: "The spearman is on guard to the left, and the archer raises his bow and aims." β
Before Liu Jie's words fell, a large group of people and horses were killed in the woods next to him.
These men were either dressed in leather armor or coarse cloth shirts, and they carried a variety of weapons, including swords and spears.
At this moment, Li Xiong, the leader of the bandits, mixed in the ranks and rushed forward.
In the face of this kind of murderous aura, recruits who have not been on the battlefield will definitely be in a hurry. However, although the 1,000 soldiers under Liu Jie's account have never fought against the regular army, they often do this kind of thing in Lujiang County, so there is no panic in the face of these mountain bandits at this moment, and the army seems to be very calm. In addition, Liu Jie's very calm command made a small number of soldiers who were in a hurry also calm down. As for the unlucky ones who fell to the ground and wailed, seeing that Liu Jie's face was not good, they also gritted their teeth and calmed down.
Liu Jie's army did not have qualified archers, because they usually only shot arrows at the arrow target, and did not carry out practical operations, after all, the arrow target is fixed, but the person is mobile. And the person who moves can draw a bow and arrow and shoot you in turn. The difference is huge. But this time, Liu Jie still brought fifty strong bows and some arrows.
As long as there are many people on the other side, no matter how you shoot, you will shoot and kill.
Under the command of Liu Jie, more than 100 archers drew out the arrows on their backs, put them on the strings, and shot the arrows only in the general direction.
In comparison, those archers in the bandit formation were much calmer, and they didn't need Li Xiong's command at all to draw their arrows and shoot at Liu Jun.
The armies had not yet begun to fight each other, but the archers of both sides had already begun to fight.
In the constant muffled snort, many people fell on both sides.
Li Xiong had already expected this situation. During the march, he let out a loud roar: "Leave these people alone, rush to the carriage, the most luxurious carriage." "The truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, as a thief, they still understand it very well
Their current target is Liu Ye, the leader who is sitting in the carriage, and if they can take down Liu Ye, it doesn't matter how many people die for it.
"Fence off the strategist's carriage and don't let them rush in." After all, it was the bait set by his own side, Liu Jie knew the direction and goal of Li Xiong and the others' actions, and he was quite calm when he saw this scene, and he commanded very calmly at this moment. He even rode his horse straight to Liu Ye's carriage, holding a long sword, blocking the front of the carriage, and taking this as the center point of the battle.
The soldiers also slowly gathered in front of Liu Ye's carriage with Liu Jie's order.
Liu Ye's eyes flashed and shouted: "General Liu must have that Wu Jie and Wu Niu are spies of the thief army, quickly send someone to kill them, and the rest of the people can be dispersed on the spot." β
"If" Liu Jie hurriedly responded, and sent someone to chop Wu Jie and the others with a knife.
In this way, these two people lost their heads for the sake of moneyγγγγγγ
"Rush over, kill the leader, rush." Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Li Xiong and the others shouted with a fanatical light in their eyes, ordering their bandits to rush over one after another. At this moment, hand-to-hand swords and guns are the most practical, so the archers of the thief army basically abandoned their bows and arrows, drew their short knives, and followed the tide with a fierce light in their eyes.
For a while, it was also the majesty that a thief should have, and his arrogance was overwhelming.
In the face of this momentum, Liu Jie's soldiers are fearless, in the end, these thieves are fierce, and they are just unorganized and undisciplined bandits.
They are not vain about their courage, after all, their lord Liu Xun even took them to jump over the cliff to practice their courage. Although I later learned that there was something underneath, I didn't know it before the jump. Being able to successfully pass these assessments, the courage of these soldiers is naturally beyond doubt.
It's just a little wounded, and at this moment, the soldiers' blood is surging, and instead of retreating, they rush towards the bandits, vowing to defeat them.
"Haha, good brothers. You remember clearly to Lao Tzu, we are officials and soldiers, they are just bandits, how can there be officials and soldiers in the world who are afraid of bandits, so although you boldly meet it, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, then the time is just around the corner to be promoted and rich. Seeing this, Liu Jie yelled and encouraged.
After that, Liu Jie took the lead in rushing forward to kill, after all, he will be the courage of the army, how can there be soldiers who fight bravely, and the general who hides behind.
"Brothers, rush and kill them all." At this moment, Liu Jie was extremely excited, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, he pointed at the bandits and roared angrily.
"Kill." Liu Jie's voice was heard in the ears of the soldiers, and everyone suddenly perked up, and the soldiers suddenly burst out with a more fierce roar in response to Liu Jie.
Such a fierce momentum made Li Xiong's complexion change greatly among the bandits.
"Where is this caravan? It is clearly a formally trained officer and soldier. Li Xiong was very unwilling
In fact, when the other side's soldiers marched neatly and advanced and retreated to a certain extent, Li Xiong already felt a trace of unease, and when these soldiers formed a formation to meet the enemy and cooperate with each other tacitly, Zhang Lixiong had already felt a familiar breath, the breath of a regular army. How could an ordinary caravan have such combat effectiveness?
I had just heard Wu Jie understate it before, and he didn't care much about it, but at this moment, he looked at it, these people were all burly, with solid muscles, much stronger than ordinary strong men, and these soldiers were fully equipped with various battle armors, where would this be a simple caravan.
All this in front of him is mainly due to Liu Xun, he eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, and increased the food supply, all of which emptied Liu Xun's belongings, and finally forced Liu Xun to the point of pretending to be a bandit, do you say their physique can be worse? Moreover, what followed Liu Jie this time was a carefully selected soldier from the total army of tens of thousands, and all armors were ready.
