- Those were just firewood, torches, tung oil, oiled paper, and long ladders for siege at night.

Chapter 563

It's not dark yet.

The Euphorbia moved forward step by step, and the effect soon came out.

When the soldiers in the first row meet, they usually throw spears first, and then hold the hook in their left hand, and ring the head knife in their right hand, in which the hook setting can be replaced with a rattan card, or it can be replaced with a long card, and the ring head knife is generally not changed, and occasionally it can also be replaced with a small halberd.

All in all, after the front line is connected, everyone will quickly get together, and the sword and shield can attack and defend, which is the most cost-effective choice.

But Yuan Shao's halberd warriors were different, and when the lines met, this army still used halberds against the enemy.

This is not a very common usage, after all, halberdiers are often used to block cavalry, not to engage infantry - if you are short and you are long, wouldn't you suffer in close quarters?

They walked forward step by step, and when they were subjected to loud insults and ridicule, the expression on their faces did not waver at all, and the halberd in their hands did not tremble for a moment.

On the opposite side there were spear throwers, some of whom fell, and those behind took his place, but for more halberders, the spears that could not be pierced and were strong enough were separated by the armor on their bodies.

Those gray halberd warriors finally walked in front of the Qingzhou soldiers.

Someone spat angrily, but he didn't panic, and the ring-headed knife in one hand was raised high!

The soldier jumped up and slashed at the other side!

His strength was like a landslide, his speed was like lightning, and that little boss couldn't dodge this knife no matter what!

There was a startled exclamation.

The knife slashed into the shoulder of the halberd, and the sound of bones shattering could be heard through the armor.

The Jizhou man opened his mouth hidden in his thick beard, revealing a few hideous teeth.

He pierced the body of the Qingzhou man with a halberd.

Someone rushed up again, and this time the opponent on the opposite side was much more cautious, and blocked his body with a shield, and he used a spear, and when the spear poked out, the whole person almost shrank behind the shield.

When the halberd pulled out the halberd, it seemed that one arm had lost its strength, and the halberd could no longer swing it freely, but could only slash diagonally into the earth.

The spear also pierced his body, and he seemed to be unable to dodge, only raised his eyes and glanced at his second opponent.

Dark, eerie eyes, with a ghostly fire, dying light.

But that scream didn't come out of his throat, but from the spearman on the other side—it hurt! It hurts! The halberd made a hole in his leg and slashed hard!

The Euphorbia finally retracted the halberd and lifted it again.

His enemy could not hold it back, and fell to his knees, but his head was raised, and a very young face appeared, with anger, surprise, fear, and pleading.

How could such a complicated look appear on a person's face in an instant? And who can see or hear his cry?

The halberd pointed the other end of the halberd at his throat and thrust it in again.

This is not a battlefield of reason, nor is it a reasonable way of playing.

When the shortcomings of the long soldiers were covered by the finely carved and expensive armor, the bulky, unwielding long soldiers became sharp weapons of killing, and their gray armor spread like a cold mist, starting from one point and spreading towards the entire military formation. They moved forward step by step, and the people of Qingzhou and Xu Zhou retreated step by step.

Such a record was reflected in the eyes of the warring parties.

In the center of the sea of soldiers composed of Jizhou people, Yuan Shaogao sat on the earthen platform, and the attendants intimately pulled up three screens for him, which were enough to shield him from the cold wind, and when the lord wanted to take a look at the battle situation on both wings, the screens could be quickly moved away without blocking the line of sight.

There was still a blazier burning under his feet, and Xun Chen stood beside him.

"The lone halberd warrior is really brave."

Xun Chen nodded, "It's just that Lu Lian uses troops, he is often more cautious than enterprising." ”

The lord shook his head, and the rusty color came out of it.

"What do you want?"

The young man smiled coldly, "I can't force that general, how about forcing her soldiers?" ”

The sun has passed the middle of the sky, gradually slanting westward, but the battlefield is still very hot, the Chinese army is pressed and beaten, but it can still maintain the formation, which has to admit that Lu Lian is indeed very cautious in using troops.

She rode on her horse and silently watched Tai Shici shuttling back and forth in the military formation, constantly mending the gaps.

The same bow and arrow have different effects on different armor, and it is easy for an ordinary archer to shoot a soldier with only two armors, but it is difficult to shoot a fully armed halberd.

She could see that the weakness of the euphorbia warriors was not flexible enough, and she could also see that if they continued to hold on like this, her soldiers would only be defeated step by step.

Why not let it go?

Why don't you let those soldiers go up with their shields, rush over, jump over, tear a gap, and fight with the halberders on the opposite side, then they will have to change to short soldiers, otherwise no matter how good the armor is, they will kick it down, why not?

Because Euphorbia is not her focus, nor is it Yuan Shao's focus.

Those proud soldiers thought that today was the most glorious moment of their lives, but did they not know that they were of the same use as the light cavalry of the previous days.

Yuan Shao was going to use this elite army to attack her Chinese army until it was completely mired in a melee, and then move his real weapon out.

As she pondered like this, a riot suddenly erupted at the front line!

"What's going on?"

She frowned, and some of her relatives immediately ran out, but before they could return, her pupils had suddenly constricted!

Many heads were pierced on halberds, dangling towards her line.

When the cold wind blew, someone's halberd did not hold it steadily, and it shook with it, and the head rolled down.

After a while, the head was reinserted into the halberd, held high, and this time it could not fall again.

She was far away and couldn't see the faces of the heads, but she knew who they were.

It was a very fresh head, each one was cut off from the body of a soldier who had just died in battle, and when the people of Jizhou did such a cruel thing, some of them just lost their ability to fight, not only alive, but also conscious.

They lived to see the enemy bend down, raise his sword, cut off their heads as neatly as a chicken's head, and wear them on their halberds.

She heard the howls of the soldiers.

Her soldiers are howling!

Because of anger! Because of the pain! Because of the great humiliation of their comrades!

Even she herself was so angry!

Her teeth chattered - she fully understood what the Jizhou people were doing this trick in the middle of the war, they only wanted her Chinese army to attack on all fronts, as long as the soldiers were blinded, forgot about the formation and military orders, and moved forward in a rage!

They thought that their flesh and blood would be superior to the Euphorbia, and that they would be able to avenge their brother if they did not care about the casualties.

- They can do it.

Because Yuan Shao had already made up his mind to abandon this elite army.

When her Chinese army pressed on all fronts, engulfing the Euphorbia and Yuan Shao's infantry like a tide, it was time for the horse armorers to appear.

He came very close to humiliating her soldiers for this.

Her soldiers!

The front began to become chaotic, and there were indeed soldiers howling and rushing forward, and Tai Shici was shouting orders to stabilize the front.

The soldiers ran back and reported to her.

The sun set slightly to the west again.

Someone was asking her opinion.

The air was filled with an icy stench.

Yuan Shaojun's division of troops had already arrived at the south city gate and led the team.

The drums of war were beating loud.

She didn't give any quick orders, and at that moment, her mind seemed to be caught in another trap.

He thinks you only have this army. 】

"I don't just have this army. 】

[He thinks that if you suck the blood of the four states, you will not be able to defeat him. 】

"I can overcome him. 】

Your soldiers will also be humiliated after death. 】

【…… It was my fault. 】

Your army is about to face an unprecedented rout. 】

She didn't say anything more.

The voice laughed softly and sharply.

[Actually, you know how to win.] 】

You have a divine sword, and you have supernatural powers, and there is no one in the world! No one can match you now!

Yuan Shao not only has more soldiers than you - if he only has such an advantage, what is it?

The worst soldiers under his command also have two armors, and the armament of the euphorbia and horse armor soldiers is even more than you can match!

The whole Hebei is constantly sending grain and grass and new recruits to him, your soldiers die one less one, the grain eats one day less, and he still has the entire four states of Hebei to squeeze!

She heard the voice ask her in a determined tone:

Will you bow to this battle for the sake of those who are fighting on the battlefield, for the sake of their families, for the sake of the barren land that was left uncultivated during the spring ploughing, and for all the people who should not be destroyed by war?

"General."

She suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes didn't find focus, but they were still cold, and wherever she swept, people hit a spirit.

But the person standing in front of her did not lose his temper, he stood very steady, and his voice was calm.

"General Ziyi is tired from fighting for a long time, why should he order him to temporarily retire and regroup, and lead his troops to fight to repel the enemy army?"

Gao Shun wore an iron armor, carried a shield, and wore a long knife, and when he stood there looking at her, his face, which had never been young, was like a day for more than ten years, as if he was standing on the dirt platform of the trapped camp and looking at her coldly.

"Since your trapped camp went to Jizhou to contain Yuan Shao, there are less than 1,000 soldiers, how can you fight with the Euphorbia?" She said.

Gao Shun nodded, "That's enough." ”
