Volume 2 Undercurrent Chapter 58 Wolf Warrior Mountain (6)
Chapter 58 Wolf Warrior Mountain (6) - Counterattack
There was a chord sound of "hum", and a black whirlwind blew on both sides of the mountain at the same time, but this time it was the soldiers of the Ming army. The most direct interpretation of the war is blood, the sound of miserable howls sounded, blood burst out, and the Ming army was immediately shot down.
The Ming soldiers on the hillside were stunned at first, and then they were in chaos, some turned around and fled down the mountain, while others still could not resist the temptation of money and continued to fight for gold and silver on the ground, and even more to rob the wounded or dead brothers.
Liao Cheng was in a hurry, the cavalry he sent to the front of the formation had not played any role at all, and the formation was disrupted by the fleeing soldiers, and they fell into chaos together, so they could only flee down the mountain together. Although he didn't know what Mingjiao had behind, he knew that after the bow salvo, it would definitely be an infantry charge, but unfortunately, he couldn't restrain the troops in front of him at all, and with the current chaotic situation, as long as Mingjiao launched even a very slight attack, everyone in his army would die.
Now Liao Cheng was only able to mobilize the troops of the six hundred archers in front of him, and he was about to order the archers to step forward to suppress the Mingjiao archers, when he heard another string sound, this time the Mingjiao archers aimed at the fleeing soldiers. The sound of miserable howls sounded again, and the forced rebels fled even more desperately, rushing towards their own archers formation.
Liao Cheng was even more anxious, if the archers were rushed out of formation again, the Ming army would really not have any strength to defend themselves and counterattack, but fortunately, he had not lost his basic sanity, and immediately ordered the archers to be divided into two groups, of which four hundred stepped forward to suppress the Ming Sect's archers, while the other two hundred aimed at their own soldiers who fled for their lives. He must not let the rebels rush into his own formation, so that he loses this last bargaining chip, and then the rest of his army can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no possibility of continuing the battle.
Unfortunately, his opponent soon shattered his last hope, and before the archers of the Ming army could open the longbow in their hands, they heard the sound of shouting and killing behind them, followed by the sound of neat "rumble", and his years of experience in the army made him understand that this was the footsteps of the infantry charge. When Liao Cheng hurriedly looked back, this time he was really cold from head to toe, and saw hundreds of sword and shield men suddenly flashing from the hills, shouting and rushing towards the main formation of his own army. The sudden huge pressure made the archers scratch for a while, and a frightened expression appeared on their faces at the same time.
Liao Cheng thought that he had been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he had never encountered such a critical situation, and he was suddenly soaked with cold sweat, and he was a little stunned for a while, but Hua Chengliang said in time: "My lord, we must immediately stop the chaotic soldiers from rushing into battle and the attack of the Ming Sect thieves, otherwise our entire army will be buried here, please hurry up and order the division of troops immediately." ”
Liao Cheng immediately woke up, calmed down a little in his heart, and said quickly: "We can't divide the troops anymore, then we won't be able to do anything, now we must absolutely keep the only remaining archers in front of us, only then will we have the possibility of continuing to fight." After he finished speaking, without waiting for Hua Chengliang to react, he immediately ordered: "Order, the four hundred archers who suppressed the enemy archers immediately turned around and blocked the charge of the Mingjiao sword and shield men." ”
Although Hua Chengliang didn't approve of it in his heart, he knew that there was no time to distinguish at this time, so he immediately shouted an order.
Archer shooting, especially the salvo of the whole battalion of archers, requires a process of preparation, and the Ming archers have lost a lot of valuable time after two divisions, and the situation of the battlefield has always changed rapidly. During the preparation of the Ming army's archers, the Ming archers fired two more volleys at the Ming army's rout. The rout soldiers each scrambled to flee for their lives, and on the narrow mountain road, you fought for each other, and they did not give in to each other, which was really crowded, so these two rounds of volleys made the Ming army suffer heavy losses. In an instant, the blood was all over the hillside, and the sound of screams was overwhelming, and the soldiers of the Ming army were even more frightened when they heard it, and even the soldiers who were going to stay and continue to fight for gold and silver woke up like a big dream, and quickly turned around and joined the rout. Then the rout of the army was even greater, and as the torrent of the mountains went down, the shouts of fear among them continued, and they desperately quickened their pace and rushed into the main formation of their own army, bent on gaining the protection of their brothers and saving their lives.
Seeing the situation, Liao Cheng hurriedly urged the horse to the front, and he raised his breath and shouted to the rout: "Wait for you to retreat to both sides of the big formation immediately, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!"
But before his words fell, and before the rout could react, he heard the shouts of killing on the mountain, and it was the Mingjiao sect who had retreated to the top of the mountain that also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. At this time, their morale was greatly boosted, and the previous nervousness and panic had long been gone, and everyone went down to the tigers on the mountain, roaring loudly to chase and kill the soldiers who retreated towards the Ming army. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, which immediately caused a huge reaction, which made those routs even more psychologically collapsed, under the instinct of fleeing for their lives, where would they pay attention to any military orders, and everyone thought of only one sentence, that is, "Escape! Fuck what military orders!" Lao Tzu doesn't understand anything now. So he fled desperately to the camp.
Liao Cheng saw that the front and rear sides were close to the range of the bow and arrow, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so he gritted his teeth and waved his arm to give the order to shoot at the archers.
The sound of bowstring firing sounded, but only the Mingjiao charging archers shot their own arrows, while those archers who faced the rout just stretched their bows and looked at the brothers who were approaching them quickly, with unbearable expressions in their eyes.
Liao Cheng was suddenly furious, and took out a waist knife when the attendant wanted to see it, and successively slashed down the two archers who were stunned, and scolded: "Do you want to die! As long as they disrupt our formation, you will all die, if you want to live, you will all fucking give me arrows, otherwise, Lao Tzu will never show mercy." After he finished scolding, he waved his waist knife and ordered again in a loud voice: "Release the arrow!
The archers of the Ming army did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately shot the arrow feathers in their hands under the command of their respective commanders, but there were still many people who could not stand the pressure of slaughtering robes and let out a beast-like roar.
A rain of black arrows fell, when the head of the rout fell to the ground, the loss was worse than a salvo of the Ming archers, but the effect was also quite obvious, because the Ming archers shot very selectively, all concentrated in the middle of the rout, forcing the rout to dodge to both sides, avoiding the formation of the archers.
Liao Cheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard a sound of confusion coming from behind him. There was an inexplicable irritability in his heart, and when he hurriedly looked back, he saw that although the sword and shield men of the Ming Sect had suffered considerable losses under the volley of their own archers, they had already launched the final desperate charge, and at this time they were only half an arrow away from their own archer formation. He didn't know that the sword and shield hand was the nemesis of the archers, and the reason why he concentrated most of the archers to deal with the charge of the Ming Sect sword and shield men was to gain time to reorganize the formation of the rout, but at this time, it seemed impossible from the perspective of time. He clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Ming Sect members who rushed towards him, and he was ready for the next hard encounter.
