Volume 1 The First Test Chapter 44 Dayan declares war
Faced with the stalemate, the centurion of Qiangrong hid behind a tree and shouted: "I shout start, you shoot together! He only has an arrow left in his hand, don't be afraid!
Archers hidden behind the tree, immediate action, if you want to shoot arrows, you have to go around from behind the tree, although the archers follow the order, but the terrain, location, personal quality, longbow, horse bow are different and many factors, resulting in the time of the dozen arrows hitting the target is also different, the archery skills of the Qiang Rong soldiers are indeed good, although different positions, different speeds, the time of the arrow hitting the target is different, but it is very accurate.
At the same time that the longbowman shot the first arrow, an arrow struck him in the center of his brow like lightning, and the longbowman immediately fell to death, and the young man, calm and relaxed, held the bow in one hand in his right hand, and struck the first arrow with the back of the bow, and the flying arrow rolled in the air after being forced, and when it rolled half a circle, that is, when the arrow feathers were aimed at the youth, the bowstring struck the tail of the arrow, and the bowstring was stretched, and then struck on the second and third branches in turn..... When the feathered arrows arrived at the same time, the interval was not enough to complete the return of the arrows, so the young man plucked the arrow from the air with his left hand, yes, that is, like a fruit farmer picks fruit.
After a while, all the archers were shot back by the arrows they shot, and they were either killed or wounded.
At the time of the stalemate, later waves of close probe arrived, Qiang Rong had already thought that the tactics of Da Chen's troops were perfect, there must be a second wave of close probes, and the centurion led another fifty people who had been hidden began to block reinforcements, and after repelling several waves of close probes, they joined the siege of that person, wanting to take it and withdraw as soon as possible!
In the case of paying almost all the archers, the man drew an invisible circle for the spearmen, which was a tacit agreement between the spearmen and the man after paying seven or eight lives, and anyone who stepped into the circle would die, as long as he stood outside the circle, even within the range of the arrows, he would not be attacked. Whoever bears a bow, no matter how far away, dies!
And in the center of the battlefield, there are only three soldiers left in Da Chen, the centurion is full of contradictions in his heart, all the armies of Qiangrong are from various tribes, large and small, forming a tribal alliance, and launching a war is all tribes with their own warriors to participate in the army, unified formation, unified action. Teams of more than 1,000 people are from different tribes, and teams of 100 people are basically from the same tribe. This southward trip is mainly to plunder, if the benefits are not reaped, take all the fallen warriors, and go back will be severely punished by the patriarch.
After several rounds of fighting, the archers of the tribe were almost completely lost, and if these swords and spearmen were to be put in again, it would be more than worth the loss, and the tribe would be left with only women and children, and they would definitely be eaten by other tribes. In the stalemate and hesitation of the centurion, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield, and the three peripheral soldiers were killed instantly, and the strange way of death made everyone shudder, and the balance of the battlefield was instantly broken.
All the Qiang soldiers, including the centurion, chose to flee, grabbed their horses, and galloped north. The three close probes in the battlefield are already at the end of the strong crossbow, especially the young man, there is not much spiritual power left, once the crisis is resolved, the bowstring of the full moon will collapse with a "snap", and the spiritual power blessed on the bowstring will dissolve in all directions, turning into a little spiritual energy and diffusing it.
This is the first time the boy has killed someone, Rao is always calm and calm, at this time his heart is also surging and unstable, it is difficult to control himself, he does not dare to show up, and chooses to leave.
The shaman stomped his feet hatefully, turned his head and left, and finally glanced at the top of the tree in the distance with resentment, the vague figure that flashed just now was gone, only the treetops were still shaking.
Flying back along the post road for about five miles, the young man almost fell under the tree, the exhaustion of his whole body came instantly, he held the tree with both hands, gasped for breath, his face was even paler, and his expression was even more haggard, and his legs that had been blessed by spiritual power just now were trembling. Hey, this body is still too weak!
How can you get to Nanhua Palace in this way, and how can you break that cage. No, we must look for a method of refining the body, or we can create a method of refining the body, the sword of Confucianism, how can there be no method of refining the body, the method of sword cultivation? The young man smiled comfortably, and his spirit was relaxed.
Tiredness, sleepiness, and hunger instantly came to his body, and his legs gradually could not support him, so the boy had to sit down, and the feeling of emptiness in his whole body became even stronger, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead, "Fortunately, by the side of the post road, the luck is not too bad...... ' The boy fell into a coma.
When the boy woke up again, he was already on a bumpy carriage, his eyes pierced from the sunlight that fell from between the leaves from time to time, and a wave of heat hit, and the weather after the rain was like a steamer, the blue sky, and the two rows of tall poplars moving slowly backwards, and the noisy footsteps and horses' hooves were in his ears.
"Even the rain does not realize that spring is coming to an end, and the weather is sunny to know that summer is deep. ”
"Wake up, don't lie down when you wake up, your body is really bad, let me feed you a little pill, what can you do to pay me back!"
The boy immediately sat up, feeling that his body was indeed much better, and the muscles of his whole body had a sense of strength. Seeing that the young sergeant was riding with the cart on horseback, and there was no injury on his body, he thought about it, too, he was a soldier, he was good at refining the body, and his self-repair ability was also the strongest among the monks.
"You, you really have a big fate, good luck, you met our Yuzhou military horse, otherwise, the Qiangrong dog will take you to herd sheep, and you still have a small life to come back?"
"Why, I'm stunned and don't speak?" the young sergeant laughed: "I guess I haven't slowed down yet." ”
"By the way, your axe was taken. The young man said casually.
The boy hurriedly leaned back, empty, and after carrying an object for a long time, he couldn't feel that it existed.
"Don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't pay you back, our family sacrificial wine lord said to take it and take a look. If you don't have this axe, Xiao Huandan Xing probably won't give it to you, it's a waste to think about it. Haha!, take a broken axe, defend yourself!" After the young sergeant finished speaking, he said, "Drive" the horse and gallop forward, leaving the young man alone in the cart in a daze.
The young man looked before and after, and found that he was sitting in a big car, which was a grain truck, covered with a rainproof tarpaulin, and was one of the grain trucks, and the handlebar type was an old soldier, waving a whip, and driving two horses, and the whole grain convoy could not be seen in front of or behind, which was originally the grain convoy of the Yuzhou Army. A group of foot soldiers on the left lined up in a sparse column, guarding grain and grass, and occasionally horsemen galloped back and forth to deliver news.
The young man looked at the sun and determined the direction, which should not be far from Neiqiu, and the Confucian nine calculations have a calculation: Pythagorean, by observing the position of the sun or the stars, you can calculate the approximate direction, and the error is not more than ten miles.
My axe was taken by the sacrificial wine, who will this sacrificial wine be? Yuzhou army, I don't know if Uncle Liu Huan is also in this army? Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of a horn in front of him, and when he heard this, all the coachmen on the vehicle stopped the horses at the same time.
"There's an enemy ahead!" almost all the soldiers understood the meaning of the horn. The sergeants had solemn expressions, but none of them made a noise, until someone rode a horse and galloped and shouted: "Team E, one hundred steps on the left side of the guard, your own team, one hundred steps forward on the right side." Then he galloped to the back to give the order.
The foot soldiers went to the surrounding vehicles, picked up the bows, arrows, spears, and shields hanging from the vehicles, and began to descend the post road to form a defensive formation.
"Where's my axe?" said the young man, a little anxious.
"Haha, your axe can still defend yourself, pull it down, you can't chop wood, it's light. The old soldier smiled and said, shaking the horsewhip in his hand, it was not as powerful as my whip.
"Tut, toot, toot" Another set of hurried horns sounded, and the old soldier's original smiling expression became serious and shouted: "Boy, come down, the situation is not good! ”
There was no need for a command, and all the handlebar-style "drive, drive" driving carriages drove out of the nearby flat area to the left side of the post road, forming a circular formation in the open space.
All the soldiers helped to unload the horses of the cart, the front of the cart was inserted into the tail of the cart, and the side panels of the cart facing inward were removed, and several people carried them, and buckled them on the side panels facing outward, and a two-person high parapet wall was built, and as everyone was busy, the horn in front of them kept coming rapidly, like a drum. The soldiers, who were relatively calm just now, began to panic, and everyone was even more busy with construction.
The boy also joined the busy crowd, although the boy was weak, it was much stronger than the monks, compared to ordinary people, and occasionally the spiritual blessing was greater than the strength of several people, and the wounded began to retreat in front, and there were already ten carts that emptied the forage, lifted the wounded, and after the full load, turned the head of the car and retreated.
The formation of cars on the west side of the road finally took shape in half an hour, leaving four passages, and outside the passages there were eight unusual cars, and the tailgate was particularly high, in the shape of a parapet, which was the last eight doors. Just wait for all your personnel to enter the car formation, insert the two cars into the passage, and buckle them inside, and a simple and sturdy car city will be built. It can resist the onslaught of cavalry in an open area, and the soldiers inside can shoot arrows from the outside by climbing the parapet wall, and the parapet wall can also prevent the enemy from burning food in the fire.
It turned out that these grain trucks were specially designed for defense, and the young man couldn't help but admire that the soldiers had their own whimsical ideas.
Five hundred and two large carts formed a large round city with a diameter of 100 zhang, which is very spectacular, the city has just been built, the horn in front is already very close, you can faintly hear the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of horses' hooves, the collision of knives and guns, the whistling of flying across the sky, the screams, the neighing of horses...
The wounded have stopped retreating, and are directly sent to Checheng, and the soldiers who retreated in front of them also continued to withdraw into Checheng, and the foot soldiers who set up Checheng responded to the withdrawn soldiers while constantly carrying water from the nearby river to the city, and there were also foot soldiers in the well.
The handlebar type began to unload the grain at intervals, hoarded in the center of the car array, and dug the soil and bagged to fill the empty grain cart, and the young man who was busy on the cart saw that the two teams of cavalry in the distance gradually appeared in the sight, entangled back and forth, and could clearly see that the young sergeant was after the break, and the chasing soldiers behind, the four quivers that the war horse originally hung, only half a pot of arrows left, still shot out in a row.
The pursuing enemy soldiers, with distinct armor, neat appearance, and well-armed, were not the cavalry of Qiangrong.
The nearby sergeant also saw it, and someone exclaimed: "This is Dayan's cavalry!"
In the 1,000 and twentieth year of the founding of the Great Chen State, in the early summer, the Great Yan cavalry crossed the border of Xinzhou, which had been turbulent, and officially declared war on the Great Chen State!
