Chapter 151: Fighting
The barbarians were successfully angered by the Kyokan outside the city!
A team of barbarians rushed out of Guyang County, and under the leadership of their leader, they killed the Qin army.
It's finally out!
From afar, seeing a team of barbarians coming out of the city, Ma Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of his people piling up Jingguan was to transfer the barbarians out of the city, and if the other party was unmoved, his plan would fail.
Now, I am very glad that those barbarians are very cooperative.
"Order, get ready for battle. No one is allowed to act rashly without an order! Immediately, Ma Shuo passed a military order out. Ma Shuo and Li Mu deliberately placed the men and horses far enough away from the county seat of Guyang, in order to mobilize as many barbarians as possible.
The city gate of Guyang County is not very large, and it takes a lot of time for tens of thousands of barbarians to come out. It took nearly half an hour for nearly 30,000 barbarians to come out of the city and stand in line in the open area outside the city gates.
Obviously, this time the leader of the barbarians still retained a little sanity, and still left 20,000 people in the city to garrison. However, it can be seen that the 30,000 people sent by the barbarians this time are also elite, which can be seen from the armor on their bodies.
Of course, the reason why the barbarians chose to send 30,000 people also had something to do with the arrangement of Ma Shuo and Li Mu outside. The total number of people and horses brought by the two was more than 70,000, but only about 30,000 appeared in the field of vision of the barbarians.
First of all, none of Ma Shuo's 20,000 cavalry appeared. These cavalry were deliberately hidden by Ma Shuo, and when the time came, Ma Shuo was going to use these cavalry to cut off the other party's way back to the city. Not only did the cavalry on Ma Shuo's side not move, but even the 30,000 people brought by Li Mu were not all exposed.
Of Li Mu's 30,000 people, he divided 15,000 people to the outside of another city gate, and quietly hid in the path that the barbarians had to pass when they fled.
Kill –
As soon as the barbarians lined up, they immediately launched an attack on Ma Shuo's side. With immense rage, these barbarians were murderous.
"All ready—put—"
When the barbarians entered the range of the bow and arrow, Ma Shuo, who had been watching the battlefield situation, decisively gave the order to attack. Immediately, the guards around Ma Shuo conveyed the order through the flag.
Whoosh –
Suddenly, the three thousand archers on the front did not hesitate to shoot the arrows that had been waiting for an opportunity, and a rain of arrows immediately covered the barbarian ranks.
These 3,000 archers were mainly brought over by Li Mu, and as a key training son, Li Lingwei gave Li Mu a very elite strength. This time to cooperate with Ma Shuo, Li Mu also did not hesitate to bring an archer in his hand.
Archers are a very important long-range attack force in the border army. However, a good archer is not so easy to train and takes a long time to train. Moreover, there is a limit to the number of times a good archer can attack in a row, because each draw requires a lot of effort, especially the strict requirements for their arm strength.
Comparatively speaking, Ma Shuo has a lot fewer archers in his hands. Therefore, Ma Shuo also focused on building crossbows and training crossbowmen. Because relatively speaking, the arm strength requirements of the crossbow are weaker, and the technical content is also lower.
Three thousand archers, before a round of attacks fell, a new round of arrow rain had risen again, towards the barbarian army to continue to cover the past.
Flutter flutter!
When the second round of arrow rain flew in the air, the first round of arrow rain had already hit the target, and the arrows were almost missed, and some unlucky guys even got several arrows in their bodies. In an instant, more than 2,000 of the barbarians who rushed to the front fell.
Then, without waiting for the barbarians behind to react, a second round of arrows descended and shot another group of barbarians.
Two rounds of arrow rain solved more than three thousand barbarians at once, and suddenly a huge gap appeared in front of the barbarian team, as if a cake had been bitten alive.
"Spread out!"
The barbarian commander was not stupid, and when he saw such a situation, he immediately ordered the barbarians who had gathered together to disperse and widen the distance between people. At the same time, the archers among the barbarians also launched a counterattack on their own, and one after another arrows flew out of the barbarian ranks and attacked the side of the border army.
Immediately, some of the border soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. However, the fallen soldiers were immediately evacuated to the rear as quickly as possible by their companions and handed over to the medic for treatment.
In comparison, there was no such good thing on the barbarians' side, the barbarians who were injured and fell to the ground could only let out a painful wail, and some people were quickly stepped on by the barbarians who charged from behind, and they were directly killed.
The barbarians were still very fast and fearless of death, and they ran frantically forward against the rain of arrows with their rudimentary shields, and soon closed the distance between them and the border army. During this time, the archers on the side of the border army only had time to shoot three or four rounds of arrows. Finally, the two sides entered the level of hand-to-hand combat.
"The Golden Battalion is attacking!"
For the first time, he acted in the name of the Golden Battalion of the Five Elements Battalion, and Cui Xiucheng, as the chief general and captain, was still very excited. Seeing that the barbarians had entered the range of hand-to-hand combat, he did not hesitate to give the order to meet the battle. With Cui Xiucheng's order, the soldiers of the Jinzi Battalion immediately formed a group according to their usual training and rushed towards the barbarians.
Now, in Ma Shuo's infantry camp, the combination of long bamboo soldiers has become the standard. Of course, as long as conditions permit, the weapons of the Long Bamboo Soldiers have been optimized, and the front end of the Long Bamboo has been equipped with a number of iron spikes.
In this way, the attack power of the long bamboo weapon is even more powerful.
The advantages of the combination of long bamboo soldiers were quickly demonstrated. When the barbarians who rushed over faced the long bamboo weapon, they didn't know what to do at all, and some of the guys who ran fast even took the initiative to collide with the spikes at the front of the long bamboo.
Immediately, countless barbarians were killed and injured by the combination of Changzhu soldiers, and those who were wounded were quickly killed by the other soldiers in the group.
The barbarians' casualties increased at an alarming rate.
In just half an hour, nearly 30,000 barbarians have lost more than 10,000. As for the remaining barbarians, the offensive was also stopped.
However, at this time, Ma Shuoxin's order was given again.
