Seeing Yuan Qi lead the army to retreat towards Shaxian, Yuan Ding coldly ordered: "Don't let Yuan Qi leave alive"

When Yuan Qi led the army just out of the range of the ambush, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from front of him and from both sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On both sides of the road, an ambush of more than 10,000 soldiers appeared, apparently outflanking Yuan Qi and his elite in a roundabout way. Fortunately, because of Meng Kui's appearance, the fire-starting thing buried on the official road in front of him was ignited, and the fire burned instantly, which not only saved Yuan Qi and others from this fire, but also blocked the ambush soldiers in that direction, otherwise, Yuan Qi and others would have to face the danger of being surrounded on all sides at this moment.

Ma Yue raised the tiger's head and shouted angrily: "There is no way to retreat, it is better to fight to the death!" Xiliang people are already brave, Ma Yue is even more young and vigorous, and he has been forced to retreat repeatedly, which has aroused endless anger in his heart.

"Array!" Yuan Qi yelled and gave the order to prepare for a counterattack.

Elite is elite, no matter what kind of danger it is, it still doesn't show any panic. After hearing Yuan Qi's order, the elites of the two battalions of Tiangui and Digui immediately adjusted their pace, cooperated with the generals to form a square formation, and guarded Yuanqi in the middle.

In the center of the big array, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were two tiger generals, one sitting on a horse, the other standing on the ground, one left and one right guarding on the side of Yuan Qi; three steps away from Xu Chu Dian Wei, Xu Rong took a hundred elites of the Tiangui camp to form a circle, and the three of Yuan Qi and Jia Yuan, Li Ru's two strategists surrounded the inside, responsible for defending Yuan Qi and transmitting the orders issued by Yuan Qi; five steps away, Zhao Hu led 2,000 elites of the Tiangui Battalion to form a phalanx and blocked the outside; outside Zhao Hu, Zuo Ci led 4,000 Digui to form a circle again. Outside Zhao Hu's phalanx; after Zuo Ci, Huang Yong led all the remaining elites of the Tiangui camp to form a phalanx again, raised the crossbow in his hand, and aimed at the direction from which the ambush soldiers came; Ma Yue led most of the elites to form a circle formation on the outermost periphery, like a shield erected with his body, protecting all the comrades behind him.

One side sets a circle, one circle protects one side, the essence of the square circle array, in a hurry. It was vividly displayed by the elite of the two battalions. The large array had just been arranged, and the ambush soldiers under Yuan Ding and others had already been killed in front of them. Huang Yong, who was standing on the second front, bent his bow and arrows, took a slight aim, and the arrow in his hand went off the string, with a whining whistle, and an arrow pierced the head of an ambush general. With an arrow, Huang Yong did not pause, his right hand seemed to be plucking the pipa, and he quickly drew the arrow and set the string. Finally shot out. In the ambush formation, another partial general fell from his horse. Huang Yong's purpose was very clear, that is, to shoot those middle and lower-level officers as much as possible, so that the ambush soldiers who were about to rush over would lose their direct command.

With Huang Yong's shot. The elites of the Tiangui Camp around him locked onto their targets one after another, and shot out the crossbows that had already been prepared in their hand crossbows. The Tiangui Battalion is a unique type of army under the command of Yuan Qi, not cavalry in the traditional sense, and their weapon is a seven-foot-long chopping knife. It is suitable for fighting in various battles, and Yuan Qi also equipped the elites of the Tiangui Camp with Xizi repeaters, and later let Wang Yezi improve them, shortening the crossbow body, which can be directly buckled on the arm, and will not have any impact on the movements of the elites of the Tiangui Camp waving their arms. An improved Xizi hand crossbow can only hold a maximum of three crossbow arrows, and you can choose to fire a single point, or you can shoot all three crossbow arrows at once.

In the face of the swarming enemy army, the elites of the Tiangui Battalion all chose to shoot continuously, and shot all the crossbow arrows in the crossbow at one time. After the Xizi hand crossbow has been improved, the firing range has been greatly improved, but the effective range will not exceed fifty paces, and if it is farther, there will be a deviation in accuracy. Therefore, the elites of the Tiangui Battalion had a good grasp of the timing of their crossbow arrows, and waited until the enemy rushed twenty paces in front of them before shooting at the enemy. Twenty paces is the most powerful distance of Xizi's hand crossbow. From this detail, it can also be seen that the Tiangui Battalion's grasp of the subtle changes on the battlefield has reached the level of encountering it at will, which reflects the name of the elite of the Tiangui Battalion, which is well deserved.

The coalition forces that were killing from three directions were suddenly shot down by the scattered crossbow arrows, and the coalition forces could not be as elite as Heaven and Earth. As a result, screams rang out one after another in the coalition formation, and nearly a thousand coalition troops were killed by crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground weakly, trampled into pulp by their comrades who caught up behind them. There were also some recruits in the coalition army, who stopped their progress in amazement after seeing a large amount of blood bursting out, but they were knocked to the ground by the people who rushed up behind them, and they were trampled to death. All of a sudden, the shouts of killing, screams, screams, groans of pain, and the clashing of weapons and armor were all in one piece, and before the official confrontation, the coalition forces were already in chaos.

Seeing the opportunity, Ma Yue jumped on the horse halberd, and shouted vigorously: "The land belongs to the land!" Ma Yue is the direct leader of the land return camp, the land return elite has long been impressed by Ma Yue's martial bravery, and the Ma Yue obeys, after hearing Ma Yue's shout, the outermost more than 5,000 earth return elites shouted loudly: "The land returns to the outside, there is victory and no defeat!" After the roar, the earth return elite raised the horse chopping knife in their hands, and took five steps forward in unison, the sharp edge of the horse chopping knife fell from the air, relying on the advantage of the length of the horse chopping knife, and slashed diagonally towards the coalition army that rushed up.

The hand rises, and the knife falls. With the sudden appearance of blood, the sergeants in the front row of the coalition army screamed in unison and were cut into two ends by the falling horse chopping knife. The flow of colorful intestines from their chests and abdomen was disgusting. The ferocity of the camp suddenly shocked the coalition forces under Yuan Ding and others, and these coalition troops looked at their comrades who were still alive and well a moment ago, and the pace of rushing forward subconsciously slowed down.

The coalition forces are in a daze, but the elite will not be in a daze. The elites of the land are all selected from thousands of troops, and have experienced countless baptisms of war, and they know that being in a daze on the battlefield is equivalent to giving up resistance and letting others slaughter. Raising the swords again, the elites of the land returned to tell those rookie coalition troops with actions that when the two armies are fighting, the end of a daze is death!

The sword flashed, and the rookie of the coalition army in a daze was cut off by the elite horse chopping knife of the earth, and they used their lives to learn the truth that they must not be in a daze on the battlefield.

Yuan Ding, who was on the top of the mountain in the distance, saw the indomitable momentum of the elites of the earth, and he was angry in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, go around the place where the fire is on fire, and throw all the men and horses into the battlefield!" Not only Yuan Ding, but also the other princes also saw that with the ambushes that had been ambushed in advance, they would never be able to kill Yuan Qi, and they might be killed by the elites under Yuan Qi's command. Once Yuan Qi escapes, the conspiracy of himself and others will be exposed to the world, and when the time comes, not only will they have to face the reproach of Yuan Xie and Yuan Qi's anger, but they will also become the object of condemnation from the whole world. Such an ending is absolutely unacceptable to Yuan Ding and others.

At the critical moment, everyone ordered their subordinates or went into battle in person, and led the most elite troops under their command to bypass the sea of fire and rush to the battlefield. In the ambush in advance, the princes of all walks of life invariably hid the elite troops, and only sent those ordinary soldiers and even miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, they all knew that the elite of the Yuan Qi Department was abnormal, and these ambushes would become cannon fodder if they were not done well, so no one was willing to put the elite of their subordinates into the queue of ambushes. Unexpectedly, all the princes did this, and none of them sent regular troops to fight, at most they only sent a few inconsequential generals to oversee the army. Now seeing that Yuan Qi's department has a faint tendency to fight back and break the siege, Yuan Ding and the others are in a hurry, and they can't care about anything else, so they put the real combat effectiveness of their subordinates into the battlefield.

The first to arrive on the battlefield was Shangdang Taishou Zhangyang. Zhang Yang's army is very similar to Qi Tian's state army, both of which are mainly cavalry, relying on the advantage of speed, Zhang Yang's army threw off several other princes and came to the battlefield first. After observing the battlefield slightly, Zhang Yang began to order: "Form a scattered line, attack and harass the enemy army on the periphery, and stop the operation of the enemy's formation!" After receiving Zhang Yang's order, nearly 10,000 cavalry were divided into two teams, one team galloped from west to east, and the other team galloped from east to west, surrounding the square circle formation formed by Yuan Qi's department, and began to attack and harass similar to the sparrow war in later generations.

After Zhang Yang, he was a sergeant under Yuan Ding. Yuan Ding was conceited as the fourth and third dukes, so he did not personally come to the front line to supervise the battle, but sent his generals Ju Yi and strategists to jointly command the battle. After the two of them arrived at the battlefield with more than 10,000 military horses, Ju Yi saw Xu Rong at a glance who was surrounded by the elite of the Tiangui Camp at a glance. Ju Yi was outside the capital, and he was defeated in the battle with Xu Rong, this humiliation, Ju Yi always kept it in mind, turned his head and said to the judge: "This battle, a certain command." The judge heard the resoluteness in Ju Yi's words, and did not argue, nodding in agreement. The judge knew that Ju Yi's ability to command the battle was not below him, and even faintly higher than himself, and the previous big defeat could make him sum up his lessons and go further.
