Spring and Autumn I Am King

Because the south side of the road on the north bank of Onozawa is muddy swamps and lakes, and the north side is undulating hills and bushes, the ranger can only go back and forward ten miles on the slightly dry road, but it can still serve as a warning. and pre-enemy utility.

Hearing that someone was fighting in front of them, the military pawns became slightly nervous. Under the call of the military officials, they quickly gathered from the elongated column into a dense queue, with Zhao Wuxi and Zifu He's military chariots surrounded by them.

Zhao Wuxi also noticed that occasionally there were scattered refugees fleeing here, and some of them had scars on their bodies, and even had blood on their heads.

"What exactly happened ahead?"

Yu Xi Lema said: "Doctor, it was the pirates from Onozawa and some refugees who were besieging a convoy, and now they are at a deadlock in front."

Zifu He's eyes rolled again, and he encouraged Zhao Wuxi to say, "Doctor, it must be some scholar-official's motorcade that was besieged by thieves. We have a hundred soldiers, why don't we go and help them clear the siege! "

He wanted to see the combat strength of Zhao Wuxi's soldiers, so as to measure his strength, whether it was worth the big money for Meng to win over.

Wu Xie knew that this person was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he was not provoked, but asked Zifu He Shaoan not to be impatient, and then hurriedly asked: "How many people are there, how many armors are there, what kind of weapons are used, and whether the terrain is there? ambush?"

Yu Xi reported them one by one. It turned out that there were 300 pirates in front of them, more than a dozen of them were wearing armor, and some of them were three or four with bows. The robbers occasionally use spears, but most of them just carry farm implements and chop wood as soldiers. The terrain here is flat, and there are no other ambush.

"The opponent's formation is scattered, not organized elite robbers, probably just hungry bandits who rob the passing convoy."

In order to be decisive, Zhao Wuxi immediately ordered everyone to walk after hearing the words. After walking for a few miles, he heard a commotion in front of him.

I saw four or five hundred robbers and refugees in shabby clothes forming a circle. In front of them was a corpse of rogues who fell to the ground and died, with holes all over their bodies and blood seeping into the soft mud. And surrounded by the middle, is a team.

After seeing the formations of those trapped people, Zhao Wuxi and his subordinates, Mucha and others, couldn't help but be stunned.

Like, it's so similar!

However, more than a dozen carts were concentrated on the outside, and the carts were a wall. Including the cattle and horses, a temporary camp was formed. Inside were twenty or thirty soldiers. The most striking thing was the twenty or so bamboo spears protruding from the gap between the car barriers. There were no complicated weapons in it, only the recurve bows held by a few literati wrapped in crowns.

When the robbers and refugees entered the range of the bow and arrow, they would be hit by two arrows. If they went further, they had to break through the long bamboo spear. Because the blade in their hand did not exceed ten feet, they could not advance.

With their organizational strength, they cannot attack in sequence. There are not enough long-range weapons, so they are blocked on the periphery. Looking at the soft flesh in this bamboo hedgehog, he couldn't get close to half a step. He could only keep yelling and throwing blocks of mud, stone, and clods. No one in the formation was allowed.

Zhao Wuxi saw it from a distance and praised: "The leader of these trapped people is a knowledgeable soldier. This is a four-armed formation commonly used in the art of war to deal with a large number of scattered enemies!"

The formation technique he taught to the military pawns was also a variant of the four martial arts rushing formations that were transformed after combining the knowledge of later generations. And looking at the neat formation, the blood-stained bamboo spears that were 1.5 feet long, and the trouble they caused the bandits with short soldiers, Zhao Wuxi even thought it was a team of lonely soldiers at first. .

Because of this. Zhao Wuxi was also even more curious about the besieged commander, having a feeling of "heroes see the same thing".

At present, it seems that the people in the pirate Kounai are not allowed, but as more and more refugees come to besiege. This situation will also end. A thin dead camel crushes a horse, and if pirates and refugees pile up desperately, this small fortress will be overthrown.

When Zifu saw that those people looked like soldiers from Zhongdu, he became a little anxious: "Doctor, should we save or not?"

"Of course to save!"

Just because the tactics of the trapped people coincided with his own soldiers, Zhao Wuxi was determined to help them. Watch him again!

Just as the two of them were talking, cheers and noise broke out in front of them again.

Zhao Wuxi and the others looked around and saw such a scene: the pirates were living in Onozawa, and they made great use of nature. After a while, dozens of people were carrying them from the northwest. Several slender tree trunks with a length of three or four feet ran over. This is what they went to cut down in the woods on a whim. As long as everyone stabs at the car array, they can destroy it and loot the grain carried by the caravan!

When it was too late, Zhao Wuxi ordered decisively: "Quickly form a formation and move forward, spears clear the way, swords and shields, strong crossbows are second, light cavalry is placed on both wings, and after approaching, they are defeated with spears and two-stage shooting. Frontal enemy!"

...

The bandit leader who besieged the convoy was named Shuo, who was born in the moon, hence the name. He was thick and stocky, wearing ill-fitting armor from somewhere, and a rusty copper jacket on his head.

Dao Shuo was a "Brigade Commander" under the leader of Onozawa's Dao Zhi. He was in charge of intercepting and looting Tu Dao north of Onozawa. Today, when he saw this convoy with a number of no more than 30 to 40 people, his heart itch for a while. He rushed forward with two hundred refugees in his arms, but who knew he ran into a hard stubble and smashed his head into blood. Now he has left more than ten corpses, but he has not been able to kill one enemy.

Most of the attackers were thin and ragged. Some of the robbers in the thieves were armed with broken weapons, while the rest were pure refugees and thieves. There were all those who took Lei, and a few simply took a large branch.

At this time, they couldn't attack for a long time, but Pirate Shuo was also smart. He remembered the method used by the chief leader to lead them to break the city. He was about to cut down branches to break through, but another **** under the banner of Lu Jun came from behind.

"It's the reinforcements called by the Yi soldiers!" Someone shouted, most of them were already ready to run, but the robbers stopped them.

"The big leader once defeated the 1,500 people who entered the siege by 1,000 people, not to mention that our number is four times that of his generation!"

He opened his mouth and shouted: "It's the soldiers from Yuncheng, if they can get hold of them, we will all starve to death, those who retreat will be beheaded, those who kill a soldier will be rewarded with a bucket of rice, and there will be women after returning to Juye. people serve."

The group of robbers suddenly howled. These robbers are all **** brave, and most of them are also farmers who have been cornered by Dr. Yuncheng. Once they exceed the limit of their tolerance. These most honest peasants will become bloodthirsty madmen.

The group of thieves didn't have much formation either. The tough bandits were in the front, the refugees were in the back, and at the front were the bandits and five or six tough bandits. They are holding bows. He stopped a few steps before running and shot an arrow, regardless of whether the shot hits or misses, it seems that they are all practiced, and each person shoots three or four arrows in a moment, trying to scare away the "Yuncheng town soldiers" who came.

However, in the face of this non-threatening arrow. Wu Zong was unmoved.

Under the order of Zhao Wuxi, the crossbow **** chief Su Shouyu quickly led the crossbowmen from Wen County to form a two-line horizontal line, each three feet apart, and twenty or thirty two-stone strong crossbows aimed at the group of thieves charging from the opposite side. The sword and shield players and the spearmen led by Mucha were on the defensive, leaving a gap for the crossbowmen to retreat.

Two or three hundred bandits had already rushed to fifty or sixty paces away, and their eyes were clearly visible. At this point, they had also clearly seen the array and equipment of the people on the other side, and even Thief Shuo felt that something was wrong.

"Why is the array so neat, and everyone in the back is wearing armor, and the archers in front don't even shake their hands. Looking at us is like watching..."

target?

This is definitely not a **** in the city of Yun!

"Double the hanging knife!"

After opening his mouth and shouting this sentence, Su Shouyu, the captain of the crossbow soldier, also took a single-armed crossbow from Hope Mountain, aimed at the head of the armored robber who was running at the forefront, and forcefully pulled the hanging knife connected to the bronze machine bracket. . It made a slight metallic rubbing sound, followed by the whizzing sound of arrows leaving the strings, flying into the crowd of bandits like a swarm of locusts.

Pupupupu, seven or eight people in front of the rushing group of thieves fell to the ground at the same time, and so did the leader, Pirate Shuo.

The cluster of sharp bronze arrows easily smashed the body of the thieves. After the arrows pierced the skin, they turned rapidly due to inertia, and the metal wings stirred the muscles and internal organs into minced meat. After encountering a bone, it breaks and deforms in a sudden obstruction.

The weapons of war in the age of cold weapons were not very destructive, so Pirate Shuo and a few unlucky men fell to the ground and did not die for a while, but let out a penetrating scream, within a distance of fifty paces. A simple short coat and short brown can't stop the lasing of the two stone crossbow bolts.

Due to the lack of manpower, the crossbowmen could only perform two shots. The gap between the winding strings was made up by Zhao Wuxi and Zifu on the chariot. Shot over several people rushing in front.

After the two rounds of shooting, the spearman and the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward in neat steps under the rhythm of Mucha and the drummer. Formed a dense assault phalanx, and the crossbowmen retreated to the back row. However, although the time for them to change positions was short, the group of thieves on the opposite side reacted even more quickly. When Zhao Wuxi opened his bow again and shot over one person, he saw more than a dozen gangsters rolling all over the floor, and the backs of escaping people in front of him.

The most ferocious group of thieves in front suffered heavy casualties, and the volley of crossbow arrows and the neat sword, shield and spear had a great deterrent effect on them. Four hundred people collapsed with less than one-twentieth casualties.

The pawns were already calmly preparing for a fierce battle of fighting more with less, but they didn't expect that the vicious group of thieves just now scare away after two volleys of crossbow arrows. Zifu He was aware of the nature of these robbers from the Lu Kingdom, he breathed a sigh of relief, these robbers were really not beaten.

An important ability of a general is to deal with various changes on the battlefield. This is the case when encountering setbacks, and it is also the same when encountering enemies who cannot help but fight.

Zhao Wuxi immediately changed his formation, ordering the spearmen and swordsmen to trot and pursue them, while the dozen or so cavalry galloped wildly, leaving dozens of prisoners behind.

Just after Zhao Wuxi and the others defeated most of the group of thieves, the besieged convoy also began to fight back. The archer inside shot a round at the sluggish group of thieves who turned their heads to watch the battle, and caught them by surprise, while the pawns holding spears also rushed out from the "four martial arts" that had just been defending, stabbing the group of thieves to the core. More than a hundred people here also collapsed and fled.

Wait until the battle is over~www.wuxiahere.com~ The men and horses on both sides approached vigilantly and observed each other's identities.

Zifu He was standing in the car, and when he saw the young man with a bow and arrow on his back and a spear looking at him, he couldn't help but shouted, "Ziyou? Why are you here."

"Ziyou?" Zhao Wuxi's eyes turned to the leading scholar. He was the leader of those who were attacked, and he was also the one who used the chief spear to set up the four martial arts.

The scholar wore a cyan cloth on his head, his body was not burly, his eyes were not sharp and proud, but rather modest and steady. He also recognized Zifu He, the messenger who passed by Zhongdu some time ago, and naturally guessed the identity of Zhao Wuxi, so he threw away the spear, unloaded the bow and arrow and handed it to his companions, and followed the standard etiquette. In the first few steps, I bowed down and said:

"Ran Qiu has seen Dr. Zhao, Dr. Zifu! Thank you for your help, do you dare to worship?" (To be continued.)
