Chapter 336 Han Mountain beheads Xiahou
"Liutao Leopard Tao": "The Law of Lin Zhan: Lead my spear and halberd, and be with each other; The woods are sparse, supplemented by riding, and the chariot is in front, and if you see it, you will fight, and if you don't see it, you will stop. ”
"Whew!"
In the sound of thick drums, the sergeant of the Cao army moved when he heard the sound and attacked the mountain. Its troops are based on the Shiwu unit, with the crossbowmen as the table and the contradictory hands as the inside.
Hanshan is densely wooded, with many trees and rocks, and Cao's soldiers and soldiers are slowly advancing along the mountain road, covering each other. Crossbowmen are wary of the surrounding mountains and forests, ready to shoot arrows in their hands.
The formation of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain seems to be dense and terrifying, but when they enter the Han Mountain, they are swallowed by the mountains and forests, cut by trees and mountain roads, and become sparse, making it difficult to exert the might of the military formation.
As the sergeant Cao Jun continued to pour into the mountains and forests, as far as the eye could see, there were many figures looming in the mountains and forests, using wooden planks as a blanket, wearing sackcloth, holding bows and crossbows, and shouting some unknown words in their mouths.
"There!"
Captain Cao's Lieutenant Li Zhizhi pointed his finger at the people, shouted loudly, and motioned for the crossbowmen to shoot at him.
However, before he could finish speaking, he scattered through the woods, even though he was carrying a slab, but the speed of running was not slow at all, and the steep and difficult mountain path was like walking on the ground for them. While running, he shuttles through the mountains and forests, and can also shoot arrows accurately.
"Whoosh!"
More than 100 arrows pierced through the trees and shot at the Cao soldiers who attacked the mountain. Today, these Cao soldiers are sparsely distributed by trees, not dense, and are mostly covered by shields and leather armor, and they are still shot by these arrows.
"Ahh
An arrow hit the throat of Cao Jun's crossbowman, and the crossbowman discarded the crossbow, covering his neck with both hands, and hot blood continued to gush out of his wet hands. Gradually, he lost his strength and fell to the ground on the spot, unwillingly closing his eyes.
"Chase!"
Li Zhen's head poked out from behind the trees, and when he saw the people fleeing, he motioned for the sergeant to pursue. The crossbowmen who pursued the front stopped from time to time to shoot arrows, and the men also fired back arrows from time to time, and the whole forest was filled with the sound of arrows breaking through the air.
The men ran through the mountains and forests, and among them they ran with their bows and arrows downward; Or when encountering danger, carry a crossbow on your back, free your hands to climb the mountain wall, and shoot on the mountain wall.
Sergeant Cao Jun rushed behind the mountain road, and the upward slope did not exhaust the strength of the soldiers, but quickly exhausted the physical strength of the Cao soldiers, which caused the Cao soldiers to pause slightly at intervals.
However, when the Cao army's infantry was resting, those who had fled before did not know where to come from, and called out to their fellow clansmen in that high-pitched voice, and hundreds of people relied on the rocks on the edge of the mountain road to shoot arrows, and the foot soldiers who rushed to the front fell in response, screaming, suffering heavy casualties, and looking for cover.
Xiahou Yuan is right, if you let the people and Cao soldiers fight head-on, they will not be able to defeat them. However, if the people make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, take advantage of being good at running in the forest, rely on the mountain, and match them with bows and crossbows and arrows, it is easy to drag down those Cao soldiers and even cause them heavy losses.
The transmission of news from the mountains and forests was inconvenient, so Huo Jun first asked a small number of people to lure Cao's soldiers to rush to the mountain, and then used the mountain to consume the enemy's physical strength, but instead let the people who were good at shooting to contain the danger and shoot them with bows and crossbows.
Under the dense arrows, the soldiers of Cao did not dare to raise their heads, those people are good at fighting in the woods, how can they act like archers on the battlefield, more to shoot a few arrows, and then change the place, so as not to let the soldiers of Cao notice themselves.
Cao Jun crossbowmen often have just found the figure of the crossbowman, and when they want to use their bows and arrows, they will change places, so that they need to find the enemy again.
Moreover, most of these soldiers are elite, fierce and brave, good at crossbow shooting, and dare not say that they can hit a hundred shots, but they can hit five or six out of ten arrows. The Cao Jun crossbowmen were not accustomed to forest warfare, but also fought on the mountain, and were at a disadvantage, almost suppressed by the crossbowmen.
At this moment, Wang Ping led hundreds of warriors who were good at fighting, holding shields and spears, to fight in the mountain col, and suddenly launched a surprise attack.
"Kill!"
"Woo!"
Hundreds of sturdy soldiers, under the leadership of Wang Ping, the front row of warriors stood tall and sang, and the rear sergeants beat the bronze drum to be strong, and rushed down the mountain.
Wang Ping jumped over the ravine, stabbed the crossbowman to death with a spear, and then blocked the spear with a canopy, and the spear in his hand pierced Cao Jun's abdomen from under the canopy. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, Wang Ping took the lead and killed two Cao soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers also followed, slashing and killing in the crowd of Cao Jun. There is no doubt that these soldiers are the brave men selected by Wang Ping from the elite. The arrows shot by Cao's army from above were distributed among the mountains and forests, making it difficult to form a defensive formation, so in an instant, they were killed and wounded heavily.
The mountaineering Cao army is mostly elite, the front row of light soldiers open the way, and the back row of heavy soldiers press. The light soldiers were caught off guard, and the people chased them down the mountain and fled, how dare they turn around and fight. While running, the soldiers gathered in a tight queue under Wang Ping's shouts and drove Sergeant Cao to the bottom of the mountain road.
In ancient times, the two armies fought with brave warriors, and it was easy to form a chain reaction if they were beaten by brave warriors. The situation on the northern slope is no longer under the control of Cao's army, but is gradually being controlled by the people.
But the Cao army that attacked the mountain was the elite after all, even if it was attacked, the front sergeants were timid and fearful, and the rear sergeants were mostly shouting loudly, gathering on Li Zhen's side, trying to form a formation and defend the enemy with spears.
But are people afraid? Self-fearlessness.
Wang Ping seemed to have expected it, beckoning his subordinates to dodge, and between the crowd avoidance, more than a dozen people carried the freshly cut down trees as rolling logs.
"Put!"
Boom!
Four or five logs rolled down the rugged hillside. Those Cao Jun, who had fled before, heard the sound of rolling logs, and accelerated their pace of fleeing; The Cao army's foot soldiers, who formed a formation, scattered in all directions, trying to dodge the rolling logs.
Taking advantage of this moment, Wang Ping took advantage of the impact of going down the mountain to knock over Cao Jun's foot soldiers, and then brandished his spear, stabbed left and right, and stabbed several people.
The people rushed down to drive the defeated soldiers of the Cao army, and by the acceleration of the descent of the mountain, they used the tiger striped plate in their hands to meet the Cao army's foot soldiers. The heavy soldiers have a lot of armor, and now they can still fight fiercely with the people.
In the narrow space between the mountains and forests, the people and Cao Jun fought against each other, the sonorous sound of swords and spears colliding, and the shouts of the people echoed endlessly in the undulating Han Mountains.
In the next moment, the people who had been shooting arrows before were singing, and Cao Jun was attacking from the left and right mountain roads respectively, and the arrows were flying, and the sound of breaking the air was everywhere.
A man armed with a crossbow pulled the crossbow blow, and the poison-coated crossbow arrow shot straight at the Cao army's foot soldiers in iron armor.
"Humph!"
The armorer who was hit by the arrow snorted coldly, but he didn't care. The armor protects the crossbow arrows well, and the crossbow arrows only pierce the armor and stab the muscles, without causing heavy damage.
But a sentence from the crowd made the armor soldier frightened, and said: "The crossbow arrows are mostly coated with poison, so be more careful." ”
The armor soldier looked down in distraction, but saw that the crossbow bolt was smeared with a layer of blackened oil. For some reason, his head was still dizzy and his steps were staggering.
When he lost his mind, the enemy stabbed him with a spear, and before he could be poisoned, he died on the Han Mountain.
A reminder from someone who was concerned completely frightened those Cao soldiers in armor, and they were distracted and wondered if the arrows they were in were poisonous; Those Cao Jun's foot soldiers who were not hit by arrows were afraid of the people with crossbows in the forest.
Cao Jun's hearts were confused, but the people fought more and more fiercely, and in the singing and drumming, their blood and qi became more and more expanded, as if they were blessed with an uplifting buff.
This is the combat style of the people, singing and dancing in front of them, charging into battle, and being brave by nature.
When King Wu was defeated, he served as a pioneer and broke the merchant army; Qin takes Bashu, admires the courage of the people, exempts them from taxes, and does not rule them by Qin.
Taizu Liu Bangxing was in Hanzhong, and he sent people as soldiers to level the world. Liu Bang exempted the seven surnames from paying taxes, and the rest of the people paid forty yuan a year; And in the late Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the people fought in the south and the north, the Qiang people called it 'divine soldiers', and the southern barbarians were afraid when they saw the tiger stripes.
Now, Cao Jun was completely at a disadvantage, and the Qiang soldiers seemed to remember the nightmare in their hearts and began to retreat in fear.
"Plate Divine Soldier!"
"Plate Divine Soldier!"
The rout of the heavy army caused a chain reaction, and the sergeants began to climb the mountain to chase the people, and now they are pushed down the mountain.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Ping stood on the mountain rock, aimed at the fleeing Cao military captain Li Zhen, and pulled the crossbow machine. But I saw that the fleeing Li Zhen staggered a few steps, fell to the ground, and rolled down the mountain along the mountain.
"Chase!"
In the mountains and forests on the northern slope, shouts and wails are endless.
Huo Jun, who was standing halfway up the mountain, saw the reversal of the situation on the battlefield, and stroked his sword and smiled.
He was worried that he would not be able to stop him, so he also transferred five hundred sharp soldiers from Huang Zhong's account to suppress the formation, ready to be sent out to help at any time, but it seems that there is no need for it now.
The people themselves are brave, not to mention the elite. The characteristics of being fearless of death, and if you train it, you are really a good player at breaking the formation. At present, taking advantage of the mountains and forests, according to the mountain and forest tactics that he has studied for a long time, it is really not difficult to break Cao's army.
It's a pity that Gao Xiang and Huo Du, who can manipulate the mandarin duck array, are not there, if they have two departments in hand, they will be able to directly defeat them if they confront Cao Bing head-on.
"General, how do you march today?" Seeing that the situation was good, the attendant asked.
Huo Jun's face was slightly correct, and he said, "Where is Huo Xiong?" ”
"In!"
"I led the sergeant down the mountain, and when I saw my flag raised, you raised the flag on the mountain and raised the flag to signal the old general to fight."
"No!"
Huo Jun followed the sergeant, led seven or eight hundred sharp soldiers, and quickly descended the mountain along the mountain road.
At this time, Zhao Ang was leading his guards to reprimand those who had fled.
"Stop!"
Zhao Ang galloped his horse with a knife, hacked to death the retreating Cao Jun, and shouted: "Death to those who retreat!" ”
In Cao Jun's frightened gaze, Zhao Ang said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and now it is already down the mountain, and it should be broken by confrontation." ”
Under Zhao Ang's fierce voice, Cao's soldiers did not dare to retreat, so they had to return to fight with Wang Ping's people. However, the people had already used the wide plates to form a shield array, and the spears formed a forest of spears, and advanced the battle line.
Zhao Ang saw the tiger stripes and cursed a few times in his heart. He is also famous for his bravery, and when he sees it with his own eyes now, he can't help but sigh at his bravery.
"Someone!"
Zhao Ang pulled the herald and said, "Tell the general that the people will kill our army at the foot of the mountain, and our army is fighting with it, ask him to lead the army to reinforce and defeat the people!" ”
"No!"
At the time of Cao Jun's order at the foot of the mountain, Huo Jun had already marched to the open hillside, commanded the flag-carrying sergeant, and said: "Divided into five groups, A, B, C, D, and E, each group of 50 people, when a certain flag is raised, you will either hold the flag or beat the drum, and you will make a big show to scare the enemy." ”
"No!"
Two hundred and fifty people, divided into five groups, ran through the forest, looking for a suitable place, waiting for Huo Jun's banner to be raised.
Huo Jun walked up to a high place, looked at the situation at the foot of the mountain, and looked around, very satisfied. Raise the flag here, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Jun at the foot of the mountain will definitely be visible.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan was wiping sweat on his head, and he was very satisfied with the antlers he had personally created.
"General, General Zhao is here to report, and the people will kill and retreat our army attacking the mountain. However, the people are still fighting fiercely at the foot of the mountain, and our army has dragged them down, and now we ask the general to send troops to rescue. The scout reported back.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was first angry and then happy, and shouted: "Someone, put on armor!" ”
"No!"
When repairing the antlers, Xiahou Yuan took off his armor, and now he has to put on armor to go to the battlefield.
The attendants came with fish scale armor, skulls, arm guards and other things, and Xiahou Yuan personally dressed them and said: "Gather thousands of elites, kill the people today, take Hanshan, and surrender the two cities of Hanzhong tomorrow." ”
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan turned over his horse, held the lance, and said, "Guard the antlers, there must be no loss." ”
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan played the 'Xiahou' battle and led thousands of elite people to the battlefield on the northern slope.
On the hillside, the soldier with good eyesight shouted: "General, Xiahou Yuan is here in person!" ”
"Color!"
Huo Jun slapped his palms hard, laughed loudly on his face, and said, "It's really heaven's will!" ”
Huo Jun had guessed about Xiahou Yuan's personal help, but it was not up to him to decide. According to his plan, it was to defeat the Cao army under the northern slope, follow the defeated army, and enter the Cao army.
After all, the Cao army at the foot of the mountain was either repairing antlers or camping and cooking. If he takes advantage of the situation, Cao's army will inevitably be defeated.
Now that Xiahou Yuan has personally sent it to the door, he can't live up to his kindness!
"General!"
Xiahou Yuan rode his horse to the battlefield in person, and Zhao Ang personally greeted him and said, "The people are brave~"
Xiahou Yuan has the bearing of a general, raised his hand and said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, people grow between mountains and forests, they are good at running, arrows are poisoned, and it is difficult for our army to climb the mountain, which is really normal." But when the people go down the mountain, it is a chance to be defeated, and this battle can be won! ”
Saying that, Xiahou Yuan sneered a few times and said, "Send five hundred armor soldiers to defeat the shield array!" ”
"No!"
Five hundred armor soldiers came out of the ranks, their armor was sharp, and they were murderous, like a heavy hammer, once they were put into the battle with the people, the army formation of the people was very likely to be broken.
When Xiahou Yuan looked at the mountains on the northern slope, his gaze suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but clench the reins in his hands, sweat overflowing from his back.
Squinting, Xiahou Yuan seemed to want to judge if it was the man's Da Xuqi.
Just as Xiahou Yuan was judging, suddenly a voice rolled and echoed among the mountains, like thunder coming to the world, frightening the birds and birds.
"General Xiahou, farewell to the East China Sea, I haven't seen you for several years, and you are quite sophisticated."
"Huo Jun!"
Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly, the reins in his hand were pulled tightly by him, and his eyes were fixed on the man who appeared on the gentle slope!
Zhao Ang didn't know Huo Jun, he was angry, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”
"Chu native Huo Zhongmiao is here!"
"Xiahou Yuan, do you know if you have fallen for me!"
In Huo Jun's intimidation, Xiahou Yuan's expression was terrified, Wanshui and the East China Sea World War II, this was an unconcealable nightmare brought to him by this man.
Huo Jun almost stepped on his body, and became famous step by step. In the first battle of Wanshui, he became a clown in the eyes of the world; In the battle of the snowy night in the East China Sea, he was defeated again by Huo Jun without knowing it.
Now Huo Jun is incognito, I am afraid that there is a conspiracy waiting for him!
Xiahou Yuan's heart was beating, his hands were covered with sweat, and it was obviously the scorching sun, but it made him feel like he was in an ice cellar.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
While Xiahou Yuan was attacking himself, flags were flying among the mountains, drums resounded throughout the Han Mountain, and the dust was flying, as if there were a large number of soldiers and horses moving.
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing rang out from the hillside, rushing towards the foot of the mountain!
"Withdraw!"
Xiahou Yuan was frightened by Huo Jun who suddenly appeared, and now he saw the smoke and dust billowing between the mountains, the flags flying, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and he had lost his judgment in the past.
"Withdraw!"
"Huo Jun has an ambush!"
Xiahou Yuan had already forgotten the idea of seizing the mountain and killing the generals, and hurriedly shouted for the withdrawal of the army, for fear of falling into Huo Jun's ambush plan.
Huo Jun saw that Xiahou Yuan's Chinese army was in chaos, and laughed and said: "Xiahou Yuan is afraid before he fights, and he can be attacked!" ”
"Order!"
On the top of the mountain, Huo Xiong set up a 'Huo' Daxu, and held high the red flag, signaling Huang Zhong to rush to the north mountain to kill.
"Old general, Huo Du gives the order!"
Seeing the flag raised from the horse, he hurriedly pushed Huang Zhong, who was almost asleep, and said.
Huang Zhong woke up in shock, squinted his eyes and saw the Daxu flag, and shouted, "Take my lance and fight against the enemy on the northern slope!" ”
"Whew!"
At the sound of the trumpet, 400 cavalry soldiers came out of the valley on the northeast slope of Han Mountain, and rushed to kill the Cao army attacking the mountain with the fastest horse speed.
In an instant, thousands of horses' hooves stomped on the ground wildly, kicked up smoke and dust, and detoured from the southeast to the north slope, and the momentum was terrifying.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan was gathering the sergeants to retreat, lest he fall for Huo Jun's strategy. Sergeant Cao Jun saw that there seemed to be heavy troops hidden in the mountains, and they also retreated, not daring to fight.
Between the retreats, Zhao Ang supervised the front army and led them to avoid a rout. Xiahou Yuan was frightened by Huo Jun, and he was really shocked.
"Cavalry!"
Listening to the voice from the horse, he shouted: "General, Huo Jun has an ambush!" ”
Xiahou Yuan looked at the smoke and dust, his face became more and more frightened, and shouted: "Huo Junguo has a back hand!" ”
The Cao army, which was frightened by Huo Jun's bluff, lacked a strict formation, and now seeing the cavalry fiercely rushing into the battle, the Cao soldiers fled in panic, how dare they listen to the officer's order to form a formation.
The sergeant is frightened, and Xiahou Yuan is inevitable!
"Withdraw!"
"Xiahou Yuanxiu is gone!"
Huang Zhong saw the banner of 'Xiahou', holding a lance in one hand, rampage through the crowd, and no one could stop him wherever he went!
The heavy cavalry rushed into the formation like an overwhelming force, and the soldiers and soldiers of Cao fled in a hurry, how dare they stay and resist!
"Throw away the big silk!"
Xiahou Yuan saw that Huang Zhong led the trapped cavalry towards him, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates.
After speaking, Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to be the queen of the palace, and led dozens of horses to ride away from the chaotic crowd.
How could Huang Zhong let Xiahou Yuan go?
"Xiahou Xiao'er is gone!"
Huang Zhong stained his robe with blood, killed the crowd with a lance, and stared at Xiahou Yuan's back to kill.
Riding a horse galloping, Huang Zhong's white beard was flying, and his blood was already boiling!
"Xiahou Xiao'er takes his life!"
Huang Zhong got off the lance and took the bow, the war horse galloped, opened the bow left and right, and shot several horses in a row.
Seeing Huang Zhong so brave, Xiahou Yuan's face turned pale with fright, and he fled towards the antlers he had built.
Xiahou Yuan looked back at Huang Zhong, and saw that there were antlers in front of him to intercept him, and shouted loudly: "Remove the antlers and let me go." ”
However, when the soldiers guarding the antlers saw the cavalry rushing towards them, it seemed that they had lost the battle ahead, so they dared to move the antlers, so they naturally fled to the rear.
"Drive!"
When Xiahou Yuan saw the antlers in front of him, he was also ruthless, brandishing his horsewhip, wanting to escape by jumping over the antlers on a horse.
It's a pity that this antler was built high and pointed under his supervision, and the war horse couldn't jump.
"Plop!"
The horse's hooves were tripped by the antlers, and the horses brought down their antlers, and the men and horses fell to the ground. Xiahou Yuan was rolled several meters away, his helmet flew somewhere, and his war horse was stabbed by the antlers, making it difficult to get up.
Fell his head and fainted, and when Xiahou Yuan came to his senses, he saw that Huang Zhong had approached him with a lance. Frightened, Xiahou Yuan propped his hands on the ground and moved back again and again.
"Three Steps~"
"Two steps~"
"One step~"
"Ahh
Huang Zhong's war horse galloped past, and Xiahou Yuan was lifeless, falling in the cold sand.
"Phew!"
Huang Zhong tugged on the reins, slowed down his horse, looked back at Xiahou Yuan, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Who will dare to say that he is old in the future!
