"Kill--"

On the battlefield twenty miles south of Pingyang City, tens of thousands of soldiers recruited from the state of Chu and tens of thousands of warriors from the state of Qi surged together, like a storm breaking against rocks.

Both sides had no formations to speak of, and there were no crossbowmen to help suppress the other side's army. It was as if they were returning to the most primitive way of warfare. Even elites like Crow Five would inevitably feel nervous in such a chaotic battlefield.

You must know that this is not a coordinated battle with the soldiers of the Wei State. There are no sword and shield soldiers of the Wei State to protect them and attract the attention of the enemy, and there are not many Qingya people around him to help. The three of them alone,

To survive on such a chaotic battlefield, to be honest, it is not an easy task.

Fortunately, most of the martial arts warriors on the Qi army are quite brave. Yes, this group of mercenaries who received bounties, under the temptation of money, showed incredible fighting power. They may seem like a piece of loose sand, but they can actually

Faintly blocked the Chu army's offensive.

However, can such a non-cooperative and uncoordinated fighting method really defeat the Chu army?

Crow Five watched with cold eyes.

Sure enough, after the battle started for about a stick of incense, the martial arts warriors of the Qi army inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

This is not surprising. Although the martial arts warriors faced this time, they were only the grain soldiers under the command of Lord Shouling Jingyun of the Chu State. They were miscellaneous soldiers like the martial arts warriors. But don’t forget that these grain soldiers followed Lord Shouling.

Jing Yun and Di Yangjun Xiong Li finished fighting "Qi"

"Battle of Chu Donghai County", although it cannot be said that it has transformed into an elite division, it has some experience in large-scale battlefields. In contrast, Qi's martial arts warriors were exposed to this kind of battlefield for the first time. How could they immediately

Just get used to it?

Crow Wu could see clearly that at the beginning of the battle, many reckless rangers with strong personal abilities emerged from the Qi army's martial arts warriors. For example, there was a swordsman who held a long sword and shield with both hands and actually killed him alone.

When he entered the ranks of the Chu army, he carried out a massive killing spree, and almost no one could resist him.

But after a stick of incense, the swordsman had already turned into a corpse and was trampled under the feet of the two soldiers.

In this regard, Crow Five did not feel pity for the swordsman at all, but felt that this man was extremely stupid: How can the fighting method of the Wild Ranger be suitable for such a large-scale legion war? It should be noted that manpower will eventually be exhausted, even if it is honest

Fu, Wu Ji, Bao Yuan, Jiang Bi, Cai Qinhu, Xiang Kuan, Tian Wu and other powerful generals in the world cannot decide victory or defeat by themselves.

Therefore, it goes without saying that those reckless knights who thought they were superb in martial arts and showed off their power in front of the Chu army when the fight started would inevitably end up dead in battle.

To put it bluntly, on this kind of battlefield, the more eye-catching you are, the faster you will die. Because of this very well, Crow Five and his two Blue Crows have always behaved in a lackluster manner, only following the large group of people.

They act, follow the crowd, and are not aggressive. Even when they feel a crisis, Crow Five will even remind two of the Blue Crows to stay where they are, and those idiots who are dazzled by the generous bounty will take their place and rush forward.

.

Of course, these idiots will inevitably die without a burial place in the end.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in Ya Wu's eyes.

Because he suddenly saw that not far from him, there were several martial arts warriors, actually forming a "team formation" of a regular army.

The so-called "Team Formation" uses "Wu (Team of Five)" as the unit. Two soldiers are responsible for the main attack, two soldiers are responsible for assisting, and the corps leader directs the battle in the center. The two soldiers in the front feel tired.

At that moment, the two soldiers at the rear immediately stepped up to take over their companion's position, allowing his companion a chance to breathe.

As the core of the team, the corps leader is not only responsible for command, but also responsible for supporting the four companions around him at any time.

This five-man formation is a formation commonly used by regular armies of various countries, especially the army of Wei.

This is by no means an empty mouth. If Wei's five-man team puts up this formation, its power will be quite terrifying, especially since the Wei army rises to power by force. The commander in the middle is generally stronger than ordinary soldiers, which makes the surrounding soldiers more powerful.

When four soldiers are in a tough fight, the captain in the middle is likely to rush out and kill until he is exhausted, or the crisis is resolved, and then returns to the team, commanding the four companions and taking the opportunity to recover his physical strength.

"...regular soldiers?"

Crow Five couldn't help but feel surprised. After informing the two Blue Crows around him, the three of them moved closer to the martial arts warriors who seemed to be from the regular army.

Among those few martial arts warriors who seemed to be from the regular army, the core was an old soldier who looked to be around forty years old. He was tall and had a scar on his left eye. No matter how he looked at him, he showed a fierce look.

Incredibly, in such a chaotic battlefield, this person could still discover the intentions of Crow Five and others, and signaled his companions to accept Crow Five and others into this small team.

"You three, go and take over from my two companions, Liu Shi and Zhang He. You stand down." The scarred old soldier shouted in a low voice.

"You bastard, you actually let us go forward..."

Crow Five cursed in his heart, how could he not guess what this scarred old soldier was thinking, which was just to use them as cannon fodder to give his two companions a chance to breathe.

But considering that in such a chaotic war, only by teaming up with veterans from the regular army can we have a greater chance of survival. Yawu could only grit his teeth and accept it, leading two Qingyas to fight against him.

Withstood the Chu army coming from the opposite side.

To be honest, the military power of the Green Crows cannot be fully reflected on such a large-scale battlefield. On this kind of battlefield, the effect of five Green Crows may not be as effective as five well-trained Wei soldiers, but fortunately

What they faced was only the Chu State's grain conscripts, a group of Chu State civilians who had been recruited and had not received any strict and systematic training. Therefore, the pressure on Ya Wu and others was not very great.

After all, although the scarred old soldier and his companions used them as cannon fodder, they would at least assist them, at least not causing them to fall into the attack of multiple enemy soldiers at the same time - this kind of cooperation is the true meaning of soldiers on the battlefield.

The key to improving your chances of survival.

"Huh?"

Perhaps because he noticed the fierce killing skills of Yawu and others, the scarred old soldier showed a little surprise in his eyes. After a while, he ordered his two companions: "Liu Shi, Zhang He, you guys block these three little brothers for a moment.

.”

His two companions nodded after hearing this, and stepped forward again to take over from Crow Five and the others. One of them even greeted Crow Five with a smile: "Boy, that's not bad!"

At this time, Ya Wu and the other three were already exhausted and panting.

He had to admit that on this kind of battlefield, physical strength was lost extremely quickly, especially when there were no friendly soldiers behind him to rely on. The feeling of hesitation and helplessness greatly stimulated the tension and made them feel nervous.

Unconsciously, a lot of energy is wasted.

After retreating into the team, when Ya Wu and others took the opportunity to catch their breath, the scarred soldier asked: "Boy, where are you from?"

Of course Yawu understood the deep meaning behind this sentence and immediately said: "The three of us are from the merchant navy of Wei State."

"Wei Guo Shang Shui?" The scarred soldier was slightly startled when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the soldier in front named Liu Shi smiling and saying, "Hey, Lao Chang, you have met your comrade."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The scarred old soldier known as Lao Chang cursed and shouted in a low voice: "Pay attention to the front, there are distractions on the battlefield, you kid don't want to live anymore?"

"Hey!" Liu Shi curled his lips and said with a smile: "How can such a mob kill me?"

At this time, Lao Chang no longer paid attention to Liu Shi, and introduced to Ya Wu: "As the boy said, I was also from the Wei State. I was a member of the 11th Battalion and Six Tents under the command of General Pang Huan of the Wei State's rebel army.

Will……"

"Suppressing the rebel army? A hundred-man general?"

Yawu was shocked when he heard this. After all, the anti-rebel army was an army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in the Wei state. It was also one of the most elite troops in the Wei state. He never thought that he would meet the hundreds of generals of the anti-rebel army here in Qi state.

"Could he be a deserter?"

Yawu was surprised and asked curiously: "Are you all from Wei?"

"Only I am."

Perhaps because they were both from the Wei Dynasty, Lao Chang's attitude became much kinder. He pointed to his companions and introduced: "Zhang He is a Korean and comes from the Handan Army in Korea; Liu Shi is a Weiren and a ranger of the Wei Kingdom;

The two brothers over there, Zhong Meng and Zhong Bo, are Chu people, soldiers from Liyang of Chu State..."

During his introduction, the two Chu brothers who were responsible for assisting the defense nodded towards him when Ya Wu looked at them, taking it as a greeting.

"There are actually people from the Chu State's regular army... Could these people be deserters?"

Yawu was secretly surprised.

Deserters are common in the armies of various countries. Some deserters are because they cannot stand the hardships of military life, some are unable to withstand the pressure caused by war, and in addition, they flee because they have violated various military disciplines.

This kind of situation happened even in the Shangshui Army and Yanling Army of Wei State.

The predecessors of Wei's Shangshui Army and Yanling Army were the 50,000 Chu soldiers recruited by Wei Prince Zhao Run after he defeated Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng in Chu State, in the first battle. When Zhao Run later issued the order "Destroy

Behind the city, it is forbidden to massacre and stab the people in the city, and it is forbidden to rob

After the strict order was issued to "rob the people's property in the city," some of them still found it difficult to change their bad habits and continued to destroy the city, burn, kill, and loot, committing all kinds of evil. Therefore, they were arrested for violating military discipline, and some of the more serious cases were even executed on the spot.

This aroused dissatisfaction among some soldiers: We risked our lives to capture the city for you, Zhao Run. After the city is broken, can't you just let us relax and vent?

As a result, many soldiers took the opportunity to flee the Wei army camp with resentment.

This kind of thing was not common at first, and was even commonplace in other armies of the Wei State. It was not until later that Wei Prince Zhao Run improved the treatment of the soldiers and allowed almost every soldier to own a farm, which made it possible to rob the enemy.

The situation of the common people has been greatly reduced: it is not worth it to ruin their future, lose their fields and houses and the generous treatment of their soldiers just to plunder a few things.

Therefore, it is said that today's Wei army rarely plunders the enemy's people. It is not because of the high ideological awareness of the Wei soldiers, but because of the strict military discipline of the Wei army. More importantly, the Wei prince Zhao Run improved their

treatment, thus changing their values, making them look down upon the little benefit brought by plundering the enemy's people.

Later, Ya Wu found out that Lao Chang, a hundred-man general who came from Wei State's rebel army, was a guy who had violated military discipline and fled. He was accused of treason.

As for the others, Zhang He, who was born in the Handan Army of South Korea, was a soldier who fled when the Handan Army was defeated by Wei General Jiang Bi during the "Second Battle of Northern Xinjiang between Wei and Han"; Liu, who was born in the Dunqiu Army of the Wei Kingdom,

Shi fled during the "Third Northern Battle between Wei and Han" when Han general Sima Shang led 80,000 troops to land at Dunqiu and captured the eastern part of Wei State in one fell swoop; as for the two brothers Zhong Meng and Zhong Bo,

It was during the "Battle of the Four Kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Wei and Yue against Chu" that Qi general Tian Dan fled when he defeated Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng.

Just as Crow Five had guessed before, they were all deserters.

What is unbelievable is that, tempted by Qi State's huge financial rewards, these deserters from various countries also flocked to Qi State Linzi and became martial arts warriors.

It has to be said that these deserters from various countries who used to be regular soldiers are much more reliable than those reckless rangers. Therefore, when Scar Laochang extended an olive branch to Ya Wu and others, Ya Wu did not hesitate to take two
