Chapter 362: The elite takes turns
Yu Ren didn't know that he was slowly approaching the big pit dug by Bai Cen and Ding Kui, and Bai Yun's textbook night attack planted the seeds of impatience in the hearts of him and his generals, and the battle with increasing casualties deepened his thirst for victory.
At the end of the day, from morning to night, the two sides fought five rounds, winning and losing each other, and Kamikaze had to win one more game. The criterion for judging the winners and losers of this battle is that either one side is killed or one side retreats back to its own position, and it is up to the people in the field to decide for themselves.
After Mr. Cheng counted the casualties, he returned to the Zhongjun tent and Yu Ren to report, "The soldiers who fought today have nearly fifty percent of the casualties, and the other party's casualties are at least one percent more. ”
"I didn't send elite troops today, let them go tomorrow, I don't believe that Zhushan City can outperform us. This result was expected by Yu Ren, who held more than one trump card in his hand, and was not worried about continuing to fight.
A scout rushed to the city and said, "Report to the lord of the city, a large number of cavalry have crossed the border and rushed into the territory of my kamikaze city. ”
"What? Is she sure I won't dare to attack the city? The young man really couldn't hold his breath, and dared to do anything. Thankfully, I have made arrangements, and the cavalry will not want to break through the defenses of the towns, but I must not let her run rampant in my territory, and let the cavalry divisions go back to surround them. "Yu Ren's head is tight, the cavalry can't attack the fortifications but can sweep, and the villages below the town can't resist it.
"If the cavalry division is transferred, there will be less than 40,000 people in the camp, and continuing to fight against Zhushan City will further reduce the number of troops, and we must also beware of Bai Yun coming back. "Mr. Cheng is most worried about his own safety, Yu Ren and Zang Lian can escape in a bad situation, he can't escape.
"I don't have many troops, even less in the city, when the elite troops go out to fight and kill all their troops, I want to see if Bai Yun still has a home. Yu Ren came up with the idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
The next day, Yu Ren led the army to challenge the city again, and Zhushan City was also led by Bai Quan to fight.
In the first battle, Kamikaze City first sent a mid-to-high strength team, but Zhushan City's side sent a "patch team".
The armor of this group showed many signs of repair, even their flags were patched with several patches, and some of the soldiers even had boots of different colors, and they were generally older, and the beards of the officers leading the group were gray.
The soldiers of Kamikaze City burst into laughter, and some of the good deeds shouted, "The people of Zhushan City go home and take their grandsons", laughing at Zhushan City for looking for the old, weak, sick and disabled to make up the numbers, only the experienced officers and generals had solemn faces.
"In the second game, let the 'kamikaze brigade' go. Yu Ren commanded with a straight face.
The captain of Zhushan City held two one-man high shields at the front of the phalanx, making the opponents who fought against him even more disdainful, but the defense could not win the battle.
When the two thousand people in the field handed it over, the people of Kamikaze City discovered the power of this "patch brigade".
Captain Whitebeard used his shield like a bulldozer to push through the enemy formation, shooting a round of short javelins from behind him, and then stretched out several spears and stabbed indiscriminately, instantly killing the enemy phalanx. The other soldiers of the "Patch Brigade" cooperated tacitly, and the offensive and defensive rotation was smooth, and they squeezed into the formation that was torn apart by the captain, dividing the Kamikaze Brigade into two large parts.
Zang Lian, who was beside Yu Ren, shook his head, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Lost." ”
The "Patch Brigade" left a few men to block the larger enemy unit, and the Whitebeard Brigade attacked the smaller enemy group from the side, and successfully divided the enemy army. In this way, the "Patch Brigade" constantly divided the enemy forces and took advantage of the local numerical advantage to eat small pieces of the enemy, and took the lead in the battle situation.
The gong sounded in the kamikaze array, signaling that the own team withdrew from the formation, indicating that the difference in strength in this battle was a bit big, and the inferior side was willing to admit defeat.
However, the brigade of Kamikaze City was divided and surrounded, and it was not easy to retreat, so the captain gritted his teeth, identified a weaker place, and rushed hard with the people around him.
The "Patch Brigade" was unwilling to fight hard, opened the gap and let go of some of the enemy, and waited for the distant friendly troops to come and seal the gap again, leaving a part of the undermanned breakthrough.
Kamikaze eventually withdrew more than 200 people, most of them wounded, and the rest were either killed in battle or captured as prisoners by the "Patch Brigade", which was the worst defeat since the war.
"Then the elite of Zhushan City? I saw a look of déjà vu in them. Ding Kui on the top of the mountain asked curiously.
"That's right, they are one of the most experienced troops in our city, each of them has experienced at least three major battles, and they are the elite of the army who walked out of the corpses of the enemy. I didn't want to let them rejoin the war, but last night they found me and had to fight Kamikaze, so I had no choice but to let them fight. Bai Zen's eyes were full of respect.
"Veterans are most suitable for small-scale and small-scale battles, and they can maximize their advantages, and their battle damage just now seems to be less than one percent, and Yu Ren should not be able to bear it. "Ding Kui has been with veterans since he was a child and is familiar with their strengths and weaknesses.
"Come on, I've got a great gift ready for him. Bai Cen stood up suddenly, picked up the binoculars and looked at it carefully, "It's really here, the 'kamikaze brigade' is fighting." ”
A group of men and horses, including cavalry, infantry, and archers, ran out of the Kamikaze array, and it was the most complex group since the battle began.
The distance between the two sides is less than 100 meters, and the two sides will be entangled in less than ten breaths when they rush up, and the archers will only have two rounds of fire at most, and the feather arrows may not be able to penetrate the enemy's armor, so there are no archers in front of them. Those who dare to come out to fight must be elite archers and above, who have enough confidence and strength to shoot the enemy in the melee, and can also maintain accurate shooting while running, and have a high enough battlefield survivability.
Needless to say, cavalry, a narrow battlefield cannot improve the speed of horses, only knights dare to come out, and they also have strong offensive and defensive capabilities without relying on horse speed, and ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all.
This brigade is the famous "Kamikaze Brigade", and it is said that the lowest strength is also a third-level combat power, and it belongs to the trump card in the elite.
The "Kamikaze Brigade" put on a two-three-three-two formation, with two squadrons of archers behind, six squadrons of samurai in two rows in the middle, and two squadron knights in front, which was a balanced offensive and defensive formation. The "Patch Brigade" frightened the captain of the "Kamikaze Brigade" and put on a more stable formation, taking full advantage of the archers' long-range attacks.
The brigade in Zhushan City was divided into two equal parts, standing in front of the "kamikaze brigade" one after the other, and the two squadrons in front were sword and shield soldiers, which was obviously an arrangement made for the "kamikaze brigade".
As soon as the formations of the two sides were set, Zhushan City's side took the lead in charging, and shortening the distance was their only choice.
The phalanx of knights and archers of the "kamikaze brigade" was launched at the same time, and the horses had just run a few paces before the arrows crossed their heads and began to fall.
Before you can see the gap between the two sides, the phalanx running in front of Zhushan City has been deformed, and the speed of the soldiers running cannot be consistent, such a training level is not even ordinary.
The two knights reacted very quickly, and they turned to both sides, bypassing the enemy's phalanx, trying to cut off the enemy's retreat. The strength of the enemy army is too weak, and it is estimated that the first row of samurai on their side can stop all of them, block the back of the enemy's retreat, and annihilate all the enemy troops to be worthy of their trump card status.
Sure enough, the sword and shield soldiers didn't even block the first wave of arrow rain, and some of them leaked behind them, and more than ten or twenty soldiers immediately fell to the ground, causing the formation behind them to be even more chaotic. The quality of the soldiers in Zhushan City in the second half is a cut higher, and they can still keep the phalanx unchanged, but the speed is a little slow, and the distance from the front is getting wider and wider.
After the second wave of arrow rain, nearly thirty people fell in Zhushan City, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row rushed in front of the first row of samurai in the "Kamikaze Brigade".
"Whoosh"
At this time, the soldiers in the first half of Zhushan City threw out their javelins together, and the javelins were still hung with water bags.
Hundreds of javelins flew in unison, and the momentum was impressive.
On the side of the "kamikaze brigade", the fast-reacting archers were able to shoot short arrows to intercept the javelins, and the volleys shot through many water pockets and spilled some unknown liquids. Before the liquid could fall, the samurai used their weapons to pick up javelins, and some deliberately punctured the water bags and hung them on their weapons.
A strong pungent smell penetrated the nose of the captain of the "Kamikaze Brigade", "It's not good, it's fire oil, quickly disperse." The captain shouted.
The samurai in the front row were already entangled in the sword and shield soldiers, and the soldiers of Zhushan Castle, who had no enemy in front of them, began to throw fire, and some even set themselves on fire and threw themselves at the nearest enemy, trying to burn them with them.
"Phew, shameless villain, bastard. "Yu Ren is angry, is this a battle? This is a game of life! People don't want to fight you with a knife and a gun, they want to exchange a life for a life.
"Those who are in front are prisoners and outlaws, and I promise forgiveness and a great reward, and those who cannot or come back will have no worries about food and clothing for their families. "Behind are the Warlords, and they've already begun to retreat. ”
Ding Kui was speechless, he had heard of the troops who dared to sacrifice their lives, there were good and bad in his heart, and the measure was what he fought for. Zhushan City, in order to surround its homeland, is undoubtedly worthy of respect.
The knights of the "Kamikaze Brigade" stood in the way of the Zhushan Castle troops, and they vowed to annihilate this insidious enemy.
When the Zhushan Castle Brigade threw fire javelins, the knights had to get out of the way and attack the enemy from the flanks and rear, who had long been prepared to retreat.
The battle ended in less than ten minutes, and the "kamikaze brigade" was caught off guard by more than 100 people, the 500 people in front of Zhushan City did not survive, and the retreating 500 people also paid nearly 100 casualties.
This result made Yu Ren feel distressed, although the other party had more casualties, it was far less precious than his trump card, so it would be a big loss for him to exchange it.
