Chapter 1207 Is the war cry from four hundred years ago still loud?
Standing on the hillside when the sun was setting to the west, I could clearly see Han Sui's troops retreating dejectedly. Han Sui issued the order to withdraw his troops even earlier than yesterday.
"Han Wenyue's energy has been exhausted..." Li Ru said with certainty, "I must have received the news that the troops around the rear were defeated..."
Far and near the battlefield, black and gray fireworks rising into the sky were scattered, and a few dots of flames were still burning. Fei Qian saw that his soldiers were forming a team, nursing and treating the wounded, and then dragged the bodies of his own soldiers back, and also took the bodies of Han Sui's soldiers.
The body was pushed down from the Juma wooden stake.
From the camp line to the land below, dark red blood and scattered corpses formed a miserable picture. Most of the corpses that were already in pieces were those of the refugees who had been driven away before. Many of the corpses in this part were
Trampled to pieces by humans or horses, the yellow, green, gray, and black internal organs were mixed with the soil to create patterns that even the greatest abstract painters could not depict.
Between the second line of defense at the front of the camp and the main camp, there were a large number of fresh corpses. Some injured people who could not move were lying among the corpses, groaning in pain, but most of the moans gradually became weak.
Fei Qian could now calmly push those moans out of his mind, because he knew that these painful moans would further damage the morale of Han Sui's side, especially when Han Sui's soldiers saw Fei Qian's wounded soldiers.
After receiving good treatment, this psychological gap is more likely to affect the morale of both parties.
Fei Qian's current strength level should not be compared to the five scum. If he puts on a complete set of armor, he will have the ability to fight one-on-one in front of various soldiers, but such an ability is not much worth showing off.
Especially when there are powerful generals such as Xu Huang as comparison.
As the first commander of the front line, Xu Huang also needed to directly participate in the battle on the front line when the war started. Under his battle ax, the number of Han Sui soldiers who lost their lives was roughly estimated to be twenty or thirty, and all of them were
They were the leading soldiers of Han Sui's side who were relatively brave and rushed to the third main camp line of Zhengxi.
Fei Qian didn't know that the unlucky Pang De was injured by a horse during the attack and fell into a coma. He was also surprised that he didn't see any decent generals. As a result, he had prepared 30 strong men in his camp.
The crossbowman has never had a chance to perform...
That's right, thirty strong crossbowmen.
Within fifty steps, the crossbow can even penetrate two layers of ordinary armor! Even ordinary shields may not have much blocking effect!
Because of the shortcomings in force, sooner or later someone would be concerned about it, so after Fei Qian learned his lesson from the battle with Xianbei in Yinshan, he selected thirty strong crossbowmen into his own bodyguards.
If there is a general who dares to rely on his own martial prowess to capture Fei Qian, these thirty strong crossbowmen can immediately teach him how to behave, well, how to behave.
Although there were preparations of one kind or another, Fei Qian still had some regrets in his heart. Killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace behind for thousands of miles. In this era when cold weapons are king, which man does not have such a dream in his heart?
But reality is reality after all.
Fei Qian could imagine that if he dared to go into battle with a spear, how many people would be fighting around him. If nothing else, Huang Xu, who is developing more and more horizontally, might just kill him directly.
Knock yourself out and wait until after the war to apologize or something...
Well, it's not allowed that Zhu's figure is just like this. After all, with the general, food and other things will definitely be guaranteed.
It's not that Fei Qian has time to think about things at such a moment, but he needs to adjust himself.
After two consecutive days of fierce fighting, when the setting sun shone down at this moment, it really felt like everything in the world was the color of blood, and the retinas in my eyes had been looking red for too long, resulting in some virtual phantoms.
On the battlefield, even if the wounded kept whining, the soldiers' emotions no longer contained any compassion. The body felt numb, and the smell of blood and decaying corpse internal organs also disabled most of the sense of smell.
I came to attend this grand banquet from the beginning, and I didn’t know why there were so many people. The buzzing sound filled the surrounding air and every inch of the world.
The consciousness of death and the fear of survival, the bloodthirsty impulse and the lingering fear of withdrawing troops, were mixed together and intertwined, forming a huge wave of complex emotions that washed away the nerves of the remaining soldiers on both sides.
Under such circumstances, Fei Qian felt that if he could not distract himself with some miscellaneous thoughts, the heavy pressure would sooner or later break his nerves.
Were ancient generals really that good?
Of course, perhaps in such a tragic situation, there is the so-called bigger, brighter and more positive sentiment that is above these tragedies, the kind that can make people throw their heads and shed their blood, but these dead people on the ground
Among people, whether they belong to Fei Qian's side or Han Sui's side, at the moment when life and death collide, I am afraid not many people have such a consciousness.
"The Qiang people no longer want to fight..." Looking at the Qiang troops on both sides of Han Sui's formation, Fei Qian said, "When we advance, we drag our feet, but when we retreat, we run faster than anyone else..."
Li Ru said calmly: "Qiang and Hu have always been like this."
Fei Qian nodded.
Indeed, if the Qiang people are compared with the Xiongnu, the early Xiongnu people were like sharp blades, which would kill them if they were not careful, but the Qiang people were like psoriasis, which could not be removed after being infected.
I can't die, but it's terribly itchy, and it's going to break out from time to time. If I scratch it too hard, I'll scratch my body and the skin will become infected with inflammation, and then I'll suffer from sepsis...
Fei Qian looked at Han Sui's formation. Although attached soldiers could solve many problems, the situation of being full of energy at one go, discouraged by the second gong, and running out of energy after the third gong was obviously a clear drawback of the attached soldier recruitment system.
In fact, the current mood among Han Sui's troops is not difficult to interpret, and it can be easily deduced.
Seeing the appearance of the Di people's flag and the news of the failure of the troops behind them, Han Sui must have begun to doubt whether his original strategy was still effective. Once Han Sui began to doubt himself, a chain reaction would inevitably occur.
The will of the generals of the Central Command is an important link in the cold weapon era. Although Fei Qian cannot go into battle to kill the enemy with his own hands, even those ordinary county soldiers brought from Hanzhong can see it as soon as they turn around.
Fei Qian can naturally feel more at ease as he stands under the banner of the Chinese army.
Should we continue to attack forcefully, or wait for the Xiliang tribes to arrive before marching together?
Although Cheng Gongying was defeated by the reinforcements coming from Guanzhong in the Western Expedition, the Xiliang tribes combined had more than ten thousand people. No matter how hard it was, the reinforcements from Guanzhong in the Western Expedition could be stopped...
In addition, most of the soldiers lurking here in Zheng Xifei are infantry, so even if they want to run away, they can't run very far...
Even if Fei Qian doesn't run away, he will be surrounded by three towers
Various thoughts seemed to make Han Sui's orders no longer as tough as before, and the Qiang soldiers recruited would naturally not risk their lives spontaneously, which led to a rapid decrease in the intensity of the attack on the second day.
…………………………
Because Fei Qian occupied a slope in the middle of the road as his camp, Han Sui also occupied a relatively gentle slope as his main formation, which not only helped to gain a view, but also facilitated the deployment of his troops.
Therefore, when Meng Shu led his men out of the forest and appeared in the northwest direction of Han Sui's troops, they attracted the attention of some soldiers. However, because they had been fighting with Feiqian soldiers from morning to dusk, they were already somewhat agitated.
Exhausted and slack, I felt somewhat numb for a while and did not react immediately.
The main reason is that Han Sui himself did not expect that anyone would come from this direction, and he had sent soldiers to the north to deliver orders before. As a result, when some people saw Meng Shu and others, they subconsciously thought they were coming to support them.
Allied forces...
However, as Meng Shu and others slowly approached, Han Sui's soldiers gradually realized that something was wrong.
These people were spread out like a fan. They stood very close together, and their footsteps kept moving according to a fixed rhythm, and the steps got bigger and bigger. They were too neat!
It's not like support, it's more like...
About to charge!
When Han Sui's soldiers began to panic and warned the Chinese army, someone in the formation raised a battle flag with the word "Meng" in it, and the formation also changed from walking to trotting, showing
The weapon in hand!
As these people got closer and closer, the equipment of these people also came into view of Han Sui's soldiers. These people were wearing dark armor, holding long swords and shields, and some even held rare Changge. They were densely packed
Gathered together in one place, it’s like a forest of gold and iron shaking on the earth!
Meng Shu and others had actually arrived at the battlefield long ago.
Because Han Sui's soldiers had been fighting with Fei Qian's soldiers all day long, there was relatively little effort in detecting the rear. Moreover, many of Han Sui's soldiers subconsciously believed that the rear was safe, so they simply
No one realized when such a team appeared behind them.
Meng Shu watched and waited, just like a seasoned hunter in the mountains waiting for the moment when his prey is most tired.
Just when Han Sui issued the order to withdraw his troops, Meng Shu issued the order to go to war.
This moment happened to be the moment when Han Sui's soldiers were most relaxed!
No matter how brave a soldier is, after a day of fighting, when the blood that has been held in the chest and abdomen fades away, both physically and mentally, that is the most relaxed and least defensive moment!
Therefore, when Meng Shu and his men suddenly appeared in Han Sui's rear, many of Han Sui's soldiers were already thinking about what to eat at night and how to rest. They did not think about the enemy at all. When Meng Shu waited
When people started to run, there were still many people who were staring blankly at everything in front of them. Some Qiang people were even subconsciously continuing to remove the harness from their tired horses...
Although Han Sui was also shocked, his many years of combat experience still allowed him to immediately give the order: "Blow the trumpet! Assemble! Arrange in formation! Attack!"
Not long after the golden ceremony, the battle horn suddenly sounded, which made Han Sui's soldiers who could not see what was going on at a loss, and even wondered whether they were hallucinating...
Just like future generations of office workers, the bell has clearly rang for work and they have already boarded the bus home. Then their cell phone rings in their pocket and they see another message from their boss that they need to work overtime. They want their boss to directly become
The mood of zombies has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is the same regardless of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad.
Some of Han Sui's soldiers were standing, some were sitting, and some were already spread out on the ground. When the rallying horn sounded, those soldiers who were still congratulating themselves on having survived another brutal day were almost without exception.
They all stood stunned for a while, then stood up one by one in confusion.
what happened?
Didn't they withdraw their troops? Why did they blow the trumpets again?
Could it be a mistake?
The messengers from Han Suizhong's army galloped out on horseback, urging the bewildered soldiers to speed up and stand together, "Form up, form up! The enemy is coming!"
"Where are the enemy troops?" Even if the messenger pressed again, there were still many Han Sui soldiers who didn't react at all. They opened their eyes wide and looked in the direction of Fei Qian's camp. "Where are the enemy troops? There are no people at all."
…”
"Behind! The enemy is behind!"
It was already too late to add additional explanations. Just when Han Sui's soldiers were in a mess and still struggling with how to arrange their formation, Meng Shu had already shouted loudly in the queue:
"How can you say you have no clothes?!"
Everyone in the Meng family responded in unison and shouted:
"Be in the same robe as your son!"
The shouts in unison were like heavy drums, hitting the ground and resounding throughout the sky.
"How can you say you have no clothes?!"
"Together with my son!"
The weapons were all flattened, like a moving beast with sharp claws and sharp fangs.
"How can you say you have no clothes?!"
"I wear the same clothes as my son!"
Three questions and three answers were like three huge horns that sounded the symphony of Montessori's re-establishment on the battlefield, and like three heavy hammers that broke away the iron that had entangled him for four hundred years.
Chains and shackles!
When the last sentence fell, the blood and bravery that had been hidden deep in the heart for four hundred years seemed to have returned to the hearts of Meng Shu and everyone in the Meng family at this moment!
At this moment, it was not only the desire for battle, nor the desire for victory. Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the battle cry of the Mengshi Great Wall Legion, one of the four largest armies in the world, finally came this year.
This day, this moment, exploded in this piece of heaven and earth!
Everyone in the Meng family raised their heads and let out a mountain cry that had been suppressed for four hundred years!
