Chapter 31: The Bloody Battle of Cangting

Faced with such a good opportunity for the enemy army to form a formation, Jiang Qi, who was standing on the lookout in the distance, did not command the army to attack in a big way.

Of course, this is not because Jiang Qi doesn't understand the battle formation, but after comparison, and seeing the Yellow Turban Army soldiers who have just surrendered, he made a decision.

In Jiang Qi's eyes, although the other party has been in battle for a long time, and the weapons and armor are all lost to the Han army, after all, they are a real army of 10,000. Especially when the enemy army sees that they can still calmly form a formation, it already shows that they are not recruits.

As the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred self-losses, Jiang Qi doesn't have so many people to consume for them now, not to mention that the other party is more than twice as much as his own.

The confrontation between the two armies was very strange, the commanders of the two armies did not speak, even the generals who called for the formation did not come out, except for mutual scolding, there was a great appearance that the enemy did not move and I did not move.

With a confrontation, it is two hours, two hours are not long, and the day they chose today is not very good, today's sky is cloudless, it is a good time for the autumn tiger to show Yu Wei the red roasted earth.

Soon, the opposing army was already sweating, and even fainted.

Jiang Qi's Han army was okay, in order to reduce the disadvantage in numbers, the formation was gathered in the middle of the two small hills, and there was still a cool breeze. The Yellow Turban Army didn't have such good luck, they were all in front of them, and the whole team was completely exposed to the scorching sun from the beginning.

With the lax discipline of the Yellow Turban Army, many soldiers saw that they had not moved for a long time, and even began to take off their armor to prepare for heat dissipation.

If you look at the elite of the Han army and the cavalry who are eyeing the tiger, the casualties will not be small, if you retreat to the city and deal with the Han army, you will definitely fall into a skin today. The difficult choice of Zhongbu couldn't help but regret holding it up, and Jiang Qi, who burned down the long club, really lived up to his reputation.

But at this moment, Bu already has no chance to withdraw if he wants to, looking at the staggering Yellow Turban Army, how can Jiang Qi, who is already about to be burned, let go.

As Jiang Qi raised the command flag in his hand, a desolate horn sounded under the Chinese army. Hearing the sound of the horn, Bu Ji, who was discussing matters with his generals, stood up and looked at the Han army instinctively, he didn't believe that Jiang Qi was so arrogant and dared to attack the strong with the weak.

However, the Han army in the military formation in Bu had already seen that it still did not move, which made Bu already puzzled, wondering what Jiang Qi was doing.

Just when Bu was already wondering what the Han army was doing, a thunderclap accompanied by the shaking of the earth came to his ears.

At this time, Bu had already understood, and it turned out that the Han cavalry on the hillside on the right had launched an attack. Before he had time to think about it, Bu had already hurriedly turned on his horse and ordered loudly to prepare to defend against the enemy.

However, Bu was disappointed again, he did not expect that this cavalry did not rush towards them, as for them, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

After firing a round of arrow feathers, the Han cavalry began to turn around while still fifty paces away. A rain of arrows with great power threw a beautiful parabola in the sky, and finally burrowed into the bodies of the unlucky ones with a 'poof'.

As the arrow feathers fell, the screams were heard for a while, and shooting from fifty paces away was the time when the riding shooting was the most powerful. In addition, the number of Yellow Turban Army is too dense, although most of the Yellow Turban Army are protected by leather armor, but the Yellow Turban Army still has 300 casualties in one round, and some unlucky people are hit by several arrows, and they can no longer die.

However, just when the soldiers who escaped were glad that they were not hit by the arrows, they realized that this game of death had just begun.

The Yuecai battalion, which succeeded in one blow, did not leave under the leadership of Zhang Fei, circled around to form a circle, and immediately began the Yuecai battalion's best cavalry shooting.

Zhang Fei, who was riding a war horse, was in the circle formation, constantly directing his soldiers to maintain the formation. Although the attack did not satisfy the brave Zhang Fei, Jiang Qi's military orders did not dare to disobey. Of course, with such an effective tactic, Zhang Fei was not disgusted.

In the face of the rain of arrows flying in the sky, although there were many shields in the Yellow Turban Formation, the lack of training made those soldiers with shields only care about saving their own lives, and caring about the lives and deaths of others.

However, human wisdom is infinite, and those soldiers who do not have shields still have knives in their hands, as long as they cut down the people with shields next to them, won't they be able to save their lives?

In this way, those who had the shield in their hands were sad, and they bore the brunt of the attack, and under this dense feather of arrows, before the two armies could get close, the Yellow Turban Army began to be in chaos. or grab shields or dodge the rain of arrows, anyway, no one listened to the orders of those generals to form a formation to fight back, and of course, no one dared to charge at the Han army.

Looking at the flesh and blood, flying knives, light and sword shadows, and blood mist in the Yellow Turban Array, how could Jiang Qi wait any longer, and soon the two thousand-person sagittal formation marched towards the chaotic Yellow Turban Army with neat steps. Behind these two large formations, there were also hundreds of small sagittal formations composed of twelve people.

Such an offensive method composed of a large array and a scattered formation was invented by Jiang Qigang, and this formation solved the problem caused by the inconvenience of cleaning up the enemy formation gathered at zero time when the large array attacked, and it could also form countless offensive directions and other benefits.

In addition, the small formation is based on the unit, and it can also be divided into six-person squads and three-person squads, and each is equipped with long-range bows and arrows, mid-range spears, and close-range ring-head knives, which can be described as invulnerable. The whole formation is changeable and the weapons are perfectly coordinated, which has achieved the great feats of the Jiang family's army.

Those Yellow Turbans who were struggling for their lives did not have the heart to resist when they looked at the iron wall that was slowly approaching and the spears that kept sticking out from the wall. However, the Han army will not stop because of the other party's timidity, as the so-called snake does not die but suffers from it, Jiang Qi on the battlefield has no mercy.

Jiang Qi knows that mercy for the enemy is cruelty to himself.

Jiang Qi, who had been observing the enemy's situation from a high place, finally sounded the battle horn of all-out attack without hesitation. Soon, the longbow and crossbow behind the iron wall fired deadly arrows without emotion at the sound of the horn.

As the sharp arrows continue to reap the lives of the Yellow Turbans, a one-sided slaughter begins.

The 'flutter' sound of a bow and arrow shooting into a human body, the clatter of a knife slashing at a person's body, the click of broken bones and muscles, and the screams of a person before death form the saddest music in the world.

And Jiang Qi, the brave helmsman who single-handedly contributed to this music, was standing on the high lookout, and his knife-like, well-defined face had completely faded from its youthfulness.

In the face of human killing, Jiang Qi, who was used to it, watched the tragedy happen with an emotionless face. No one knew what he was thinking now, except for the bulging tendons on the back of his hand holding the railing, and the fingertips sunk into the wood, indicating that he was in great pain at the moment.

But despite this, Jiang Qi, who is high up at this moment, in the eyes of others, the armor that shines dazzlingly in the sun, and the cloak that slowly flutters behind him, have already supported him like a god. Now in the hearts of the Jiang family's soldiers, Jiang Qi is the invincible god of war.

"One song chisels the formation, two or three curves protect the flanks, speed up, fast, fast, fast, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

Zhao Yun, who bore the brunt of the attack, rushed into the barracks first, and began to collect human lives with the dance of spears. In his rush, no one dared to approach for a while, and as he advanced step by step, Zhao Yun did not lose his mind, and he was observing his own formation with every step.

"Keep up, keep up, spread the formation, don't let the enemy army gather, kill, kill, kill 、、、、、、"

Xu Huang, who was holding a plate axe, waved his arms without showing weakness, and every time he swung the person in front of him, he was either dead or maimed, and the winner was split by a knife, which could be described as extremely bloody.

The battle was going on and the killing was pervasive, although Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were very brave, what Jiang Qi never expected still happened.

In the face of the Han army's continuous advance, the Yellow Turban Army was not defeated, but stabilized its position after retreating a hundred steps back and began to counterattack, although the weapons and training were not as good as the Han Army, but under the bloody call, those Yellow Turban Army was like a chicken blood, and began a lifeless counterattack.

Killing red eyes, the Yellow Turban Army can fight for their lives, even if they are dying, they have to pull a cushion, just now Jiang Qi saw more than one Yellow Turban Army After being stabbed by the spear of the Han Army, regardless of the pain, he firmly grasped the weapon inserted into the body, providing time for his companion to kill the other party, until he watched his companion kill the other party, he left with a smile.

In the face of the suicidal method of the Yellow Turban Army, the Han army, which was not superior in numbers, began to suffer casualties, and at the same time, the shortcomings of the insufficient training of the new army also appeared. Although there are leaders such as Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, but Ren Ran can't take a step forward, but has a sense of invincibility, just like the tide, after splashing blood with a violent beat, there is a weak rebound.

For such a war of attrition, Jiang Qi could not bear it, and after thinking for a moment, Jiang Qi knew that a new force must join in at the moment to reverse the overall situation. But at the moment, he only has a usable army in the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and he can't use this trump card unless he has to.

In the end, there was no way, a cold light flashed in Jiang Qi's eyes, and then he turned around, grabbed a rope by the lookout, and slid directly to the ground lightly.

As soon as he landed, Jiang Qi jumped directly on the mount and stepped on the snow with the soles of his feet. Seeing Jiang Qi's movements, the two hundred guards who had been guarding under Daxu, as well as the soldiers of the Sharp Arrow Battalion, which had increased to fifty people, turned over and waited for orders.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing!!" , but Jiang Qi's actions made Guan Yu, who was the deputy general Sima, jump, and hurriedly grabbed the bridle of his mount to prevent him from leaving.

"Second brother, at this time, when the army is dying and dying, Qi can't retreat!" , Jiang Qi firmly took off the weapon hanging on the saddle of victory, a resolute look.

"The fourth brother can't be rash, if you want to go, you will go for your brother, you are the boss, don't take risks!" , Guan Yu grabbed the bridle and didn't let go.

"Just because I am the main general, only Qi can save the heart of the army at this moment!" Jiang Qi pulled the reins out of Guan Yu's restraints and said without hesitation, and then listened to him order loudly: "Guan Yu obeys the order!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Qi had made up his mind, Guan Yu couldn't say anything, so he could only hug his fists and say, "The end will be!" ”

"After Qi leaves, you will be in charge of the command of the army, and when you see the enemy army collapse, beat the war drums, order the whole army to attack, and know if it 、、、、、、"

"The last general commanded, and when the enemy army collapsed, the whole army charged!!" Guan Yu responded solemnly and loudly.

"Please, brother!" Jiang Qi turned his horse around after bowing respectfully on the horse, and said sharply to the soldiers behind him: "Who dares me to die、、、、、

"Willing to go!!" Although Jiang Qi's words were not gorgeous, they were very passionate, and there was no need to say much about dying.

"Kill 、、、、、、" Hearing the high fighting intent of his subordinates, Jiang Qi raised his spear and slammed the horse's belly and rushed out first, followed by more than 200 diehard soldiers.

Seeing Jiang Qi kill in person, looking at his majestic appearance, the morale of the soldiers of the Han army was greatly boosted for a while. The Han army formation hurriedly moved out of the way, and as it entered, Jiang Qi raised his gun and shouted: "Meet 、、、、、、 narrow road."

"The brave wins the 、、、、、", Jiang Qi's shout sounded, and the soldiers of the Han army echoed neatly. Then the soldiers chanted, and the slogan of 'Han Army is mighty' collided with the Yellow Turban Army again.

"Far Wing protects my flanks!!" After picking out a cavalryman of the Yellow Turban Army, Jiang Qi shouted at Tong Fei who was approaching him in the rear army.

"It's coming!!" Tong Fei responded by sweeping down the two Yellow Turban soldiers who were trying to get closer.

"Kill 、、、、、、" After the two approached, they looked at each other and smiled, and pointed at the enemy's army in a roar.

Although Jiang and Tong are not as good as the weak crown, how can they look like teenagers at the moment, and in the blood-stained robes, the anger is all over the body.

"Kill, kill!! Kill all the Han troops for me! Although the Yellow Turban Army has suffered serious casualties, Bu no longer thinks that he will lose with the advantage of numbers. Of course, at this moment, he also noticed two young generals in dazzling armor, heading straight for him.

"Block, block 、、、、、、"

Seeing that the two junior generals killed more than a dozen of their generals in three strokes and five divided by two, and they were getting closer and closer to him, Bu had no care about commanding the battle, and hurriedly waved his big sword and ordered his own soldiers to block.

It's just that everything is in vain, in the face of the two killing gods, the brave Yellow Turban soldiers have no power to resist at all. It can be said that there is no one in the hands of the two.

Seeing this, Bu was already shocked in his heart, and now he remembered Zhang Liang's warning, but it was too late, and now what he did was in vain.

Under the leadership of the brave Jiang Qi, more than a dozen close guards plus Tong Fei's help were not something that ordinary people could stop at this moment. After a while, before Bu could react, the cold light flashed, and he only felt a tightness in his chest and then fainted, never waking up again.

Bu had fallen off the horse, and the soldiers who followed Jiang Qi hurriedly jumped off the horse, and then grabbed Bu Qi's hair, leaving a big wound on his chest, and his head was cut off directly when he saw that there was no living head.

Then Jiang Qi shook his spear, raised his head high, and shouted loudly: "The enemy chief will be killed, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

"The enemy chieftain will be killed, and the surrenderer will not be killed!" , Hearing Jiang Qi's words, the soldiers who followed him echoed at the same time, and soon the sound of persuasion drowned out all the shouts of killing.

At the same time, Tong Fei, who had killed the flag guard, pulled out his sword, and after the sword light, the bowl-sized flagpole was cut off by him, and with a 'snap', the fallen Daxu splashed a large amount of dust.

Of course, it would be a big mistake to say that this battle is over.

Originally, it was common for the enemy chieftain to surrender as soon as he died, but now he was touched by Jiang Qi under special circumstances, looking at the bloody head raised high, and the big man who fell to the ground, after the shouting and killing stopped for a short time in the Yellow Turban Army, they ushered in their slogan, 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious'

With the shouting of killing, the Yellow Turban Army resolutely brandished their weapons and slashed at the Han army again, and there was no meaning of life in the slashing, it was completely like killing one and killing two to make money.

It wasn't until the end of the war that Jiang Qi learned from the captives that their 10,000 troops were all temporary elites, and they all had their own commanders before, and whether Bu was dead or not had little to do with them, but aroused revenge.

It was also after this loss that Jiang Qi realized some truths from it, that is, the experience gained from this blood, so that the Jiang family army in the future, even if the commander died on the battlefield, there was no rout.
