Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 403: The good are better than those who have not fought

PS: The first update will be at noon tomorrow

In the dark woods, the screams of the guards and the rush of fleeing resounded, and the crossbow arrows hit the shield like raindrops, bang bang, like the icy rain storm that fell in the coldest December. They shot through the leather armor, penetrated the flesh and blood limbs, nailed the whole person to the tree, and watered the dry land under their feet with blood.

Zhao Wuxi asked those soldiers from Wen County, as well as some newly recruited people from Zhenyi, a total of more than 400 armoured soldiers to ambush on both sides of the mountain and forest, divided into three to five rows, and got up and took turns to shoot in salvos. Historically, this was an attack intensity that could not be achieved until the middle of the Warring States Period. The absolute superiority in long-range firepower suppressed the Wei people to the point of being unable to raise their heads, and those who tried to stand up and fight back were shot into sieves.

The two-stone crossbow was so powerful that each shot made the string of the crossbow tremble. It could even shoot through the vine shield within fifty steps, and the inner leather armor seemed to be papery at thirty steps. The one-stone crossbow is light and easy to attack, and the rotation is extremely fast. When combined with the two-stone crossbow, it is hard to guard against.

The sudden attack made the defenders lose every square inch, not to mention that some military officers with torches around them were killed as targets for the first time, and a fault appeared between the upper and lower dispatches of the entire division.

Gongsun Qu's horse-drawn chariot was at the very front, which was the center of the chaos. Because the large size of the chariot and the flags erected were the most conspicuous, the arrows hit the most. After a while, the chariot was full of crossbow arrows, the wooden boards were shot to pieces, and the horses and horses fell to their deaths, not to mention the people?

Fortunately, the right side of his chariot and the guardian of the guardian were good, Qi Qi threw him under him, and then pushed him under the carriage, dodging the catastrophe, but was hit by an arrow in the thigh. But Gongsun Qu, who had sneered at the pirates before, was completely frightened at this moment, his eyes and his hands and feet trembled with sluggish eyes, but he no longer continued to command, allowing the soldiers to be harvested for their lives.

"Master! Gongsun, Gongsun Qu!"

Yi Sima Shiman from Shengdou shouted anxiously while supporting his coat to avoid the arrows. It wasn't until he saw that Gongsun Qu had lost his ability to react, he stomped his feet, screamed loudly, and took over the command.

After this. The Wei Guomen launched a counterattack, and Shiman deployed the soldiers that could be gathered into a rushing formation, which was arranged in a place that was convenient for combat: the halberd and shield were arranged on the outer layer, which was enough to prevent the rain of arrows from all sides, and the bow and arrow were arranged on the inner layer. Looking for every opportunity to counterattack around, he judged that the number of ambushers was no more than a thousand, and there would never be more than them. He also appointed some people to cut down the grass and trees, and open the road from the side to facilitate the transfer.

However, the situation of the battle changed very fast. The front army was the most densely attacked by the crossbow arrows. After about half a moment of continuous blistering, the sound of the crossbow machine finally stopped. The ground was full of corpses, and the defenders lost their lives. Three or four hundred people. Almost everyone else was injured.

However, the more terrifying thing was still behind. The narrow middle section of the guard was rushed out of the forest, and the soldiers holding swords and shields intercepted the waist. The bandits, led by spear-throwing soldiers, howled from the shadows in the rear. rushed to the rear.

In the era of cold weapons, even until World War I and World War II, short-range bayonet combat was still an important way to determine the outcome of many battles.

Shiman was killed at this time.

When the old Sima killed a ragged robber with a sword, when he turned around, Tian Ben's swift spear threw it violently, stabbing him in the throat. His eyes widened, and he struggled to get out of the way and grasp the handle of the spear. It took all his strength to let it just scrape the skin, and blood ran through his fingers as he put his hand on the wound on his neck.

Another daredevil with a spear and a vine shield rushed up, this time Shiman grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm. The spear and shield fell to the ground, and Shi Man raised the bronze sword high, and was about to chop it down at the man's soft abdomen!

But his fingers suddenly became stiff and clumsy, and he could no longer swing the sword.

Tian Ben stood in front of him again, with a spear in each of his hands, stabbing Shi Man in the abdomen and chest respectively. When his hand, along with the short spear, was drawn back, only a deep blood hole was left where it stabbed.

Shi Man knelt on the ground, he fumbled to find another spear handle, tried to pull it out but could not do anything, in this cold night, every breath made him feel the pain in his chest.

Behind him, a blunt weapon that fell heavily smashed his shoulder blades, and he fell into a pool of blood with a snort.

He didn't feel the next attack, only the boundless cold came...

...

Zhao Wuxi rode on a horse, and only in the military pawns who were accustomed to this, the status of a single rider would be higher than that of a chariot that was inconvenient to move. But this is not the case in other places. If Zhao Wuxi wants to watch the soldiers in Qufu, in order to make the Lu people and doctors not despise him, he still has to jump off the saddle and honestly board the chariot to show off his power.

Pata pata, he manipulated the horse, and walked in the footsteps of a conqueror to the remnants of the Wei Kingdom who had suffered heavy casualties.

When you have seen dozens of times and a hundred tragic wars, the remaining pity in your heart will gradually fade away. He is now no longer worrying about gains and losses in Chengxiang two years ago, and he is still vulnerable.

Bronze and blood, the war and harmony of this era will never be without these two things, although Wu Xie really wants to replace the former with iron.

Sheng Douyi Sima Shiman, the commander of the strong but useless counterattack of the guards, died of two deadly short spears, which penetrated directly through the abdomen and chest, and at a glance, it was obvious that Tian Ben had made a ruthless attack. . Shi Man was wounded several times, but he fought to the end, which ignited the fighting spirit of some Weiguo people, causing more than 100 casualties to Zhao Wuxi's soldiers, but also more than 1,000 casualties himself.

The rest of the guards disarmed and surrendered, and only a few hundred escaped from the woods, but the neighing of the horses outside indicated that their future was uncertain. In a short while, Yu Xi will probably be led back by the head rope, or tied to the bruised wrist, or tied to the bleeding head...

Gongsun Qu took an arrow in the thigh, and at this time shrank weakly behind the car, the crown was crooked to one side, and his hands trembled as he gripped the blood-soaked soil tightly.

"It's really Wei Guo's teacher, Gongsun Guizuo? This is a big fish." Zhao Wuxi was full of respect for the Yi Sima who died in battle, but he ignored the captured Wei Guo Gongsun.

However, he still dismounted, comforted him with kind words, and let people put him properly.

Because Gongsun Qu still has great use value in the future, his duty, his identity.

"My son." Zhao Wuxi called to the assistants who followed him.

When Kan Zhi was in Kanyi, he also saw the scene of the robbers attacking the city, but the corpses outside the city were still separated from him by a wall, and the sporadic battles he witnessed after that were all petty battles, which were not like this massacre. , The victory is simple and rude, and the opponent has no temper at all~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhang Mengtan's ingenuity, Zhao Wuxi's combination of elite soldiers, no matter how tenacious the enemy's counterattack will become .

It is said that Sun Wuzi once said that the man who wins the temple before the battle is considered to be more.

Hearing Zhao Wuxi's summons at this moment, he suddenly reacted from the pool of blood all over the ground, hurried to the front, pulled out the arrows stuck deep on the overturned car, and spread out the paper. and pen and ink waiting to be described.

"Instructing Ran Qiu, the time has come to drive the group of thieves to besiege Juye Town. As promised, after the city is broken, some food, clothing, and even money and silk will be distributed to the thieves, but they are not allowed to loot arbitrarily. The rest are scattered. The military pawns in various places immediately separated from the bandits under their command. The two sides should work together to perform a grand show of military pawns expelling bandits and rescuing the people of Punan in front of the people of Wei. Construction and good governance must be done in my name!"

Wu Xie glanced at the surrounding guards: "Let the military medical officer Bian Que's disciple Zibao who is with the army treat Gongsun Qu, and he must not die! Then we will clean up the battlefield and let the military soldiers change to the banner of guards. Jiayi, and then selected some of the guards who were willing to surrender, and together they dressed up as guards who had fled from the defeat, and forced Gongsun Qu to lead us to retreat to the Lishan guard camp, as well as the remaining three cities in Punan. Then great things can be accomplished..." (To be continued.)
