On the mountain ridge, Huang Cheng sat cross-legged on a stone, like a statue. The soldiers of the mountain camp were scattered in all directions and seemed messy. However, if you look carefully, you will find that these soldiers are actually divided into three parts.
Some were on guard duty, some were arranging weapons and equipment, and the rest, like Huang Cheng, were recharging their energy.
It was not until the faint sound of shouting came that Huang Chengcai seemed to be awakened, opened his eyes, and then stood up.
This is the bad thing about Sichuan and Sichuan. As far as you can see, there are mountains, strange shapes, big and small, climbable and unable to climb, wooded and bald, there are all kinds of mountains, so
It also blocked his sight. Even if Huang Cheng looked far into the distance, he could faintly see some black smoke rising behind the ridge on the opposite side.
However, the screams of the men and horses gradually grew louder, as if more and more voices were joining in, shaking the valley, as if they were trying to completely wake up this sleeping area.
Most ordinary people would feel scared when hearing this sound, but to Huang Cheng's ears, he felt that the blood in his body seemed to surge with the sound, impacting his heart, hands and feet, bursting out with infinite power.
"Finally here!"
Huang Cheng took out a bamboo whistle about one finger long from his arms, put it in his mouth, and blew it. The small beads inside the bamboo whistle were vibrated by the airflow, flipped up and down, and made a sharp and rapid bird call.
Sound. Immediately more whistles and birdsong sounded. The sounds gathered in one place, like a group of birds being startled in the forest, or like the mountain mist blowing eagerly when the wind and rain were about to come.
The treetops are swaying.
As soldiers who mainly run between mountains, carrying tall tooth flags and huge horn drums in dense forests and shrubs is undoubtedly a thankless type. Therefore, the main contact method and communication of mountain camps
One method of giving orders is a whistle, and the other is a bamboo whistle like this.
The soldiers in the Zhengxi Mountain Camp in the mountainous area also received the order, and they all wore armor and carried guns. Then, under the leadership of the commander and team leader, according to the previous arrangement, they climbed the mountain wall one after another, or hid behind the rocks.
Or hiding in the bushes, it was like a large group of people disappeared on both sides of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
The long-term training and familiarity with the mountain terrain were clearly demonstrated at this moment. Without too many orders and adjustments, these Huang Cheng's men were like old hunters who had been in the mountains for many years.
Yazai is waiting for the prey to arrive...
The Conquest of the West became famous because of the cavalry in the Conquest of the West.
The cavalry of the Zhengxi expedition started from the north, and then moved from north to south. It became larger and larger, and became more and more elite and powerful. However, even though the cavalry had many advantages, it also had many disadvantages. At least in the mountains and forests, the cavalry seemed to be weak.
The cavalry, which is extremely heavy and slow, and does not have enough room to gallop, may not even be able to defeat a pikeman under such extreme conditions...
With the expansion of Zhengxi's territory, it is necessary to have more types of soldiers. Of course, it is not impossible to develop ordinary soldiers like Wanjinyou, but Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, thinks that the soldiers can be more capable and invest more.
It's bigger, and don't just randomly pull people's heads and stuff them with a spear and call them soldiers.
When Huang Cheng was training these mountain soldiers in Shangyong, although Fei Qian did not personally provide guidance to Shangyong, he and Huang Cheng communicated and exchanged ideas through official documents, which allowed Huang Cheng to get rid of his original old feelings during the training process.
The model of ordinary soldier training has created a new soldier concept, and now, it is time to test the results.
Although Huang Cheng's riding skills are not bad, he does not have to be a good cavalryman just because of his good riding skills. Compared with Zhang Liao, who rides on horseback every day, he has an almost intuitive understanding of war horses, row spacing, battle formation distance, and horse speed.
, Zhang Ji, Gan Feng and others, Huang Cheng is still far behind. Therefore, Huang Cheng can only become a general who can ride a horse, but not a cavalry general.
To have a certain status under Zheng Xi's command, one must either be like Xun Chen, who is excellent in literature and proficient in political affairs, and can sit in the rear and strategize, or be like Xu Shu, who can be both literary and military, and can serve as a front-line commander.
Either he has extraordinary bravery and can kill the enemy on the battlefield and command the troops. However, Huang Cheng seems to be lacking in these aspects. Apart from wearing the Huang family brand on his body, he doesn't seem to have much.
Advantage.
Now, it's time to prove that I don't just have the name Huang...
Huang Cheng took a deep breath and held the handle of the sword tightly. The veins on the back of his hand swelled. He immediately relaxed and moved. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the mountain road ahead.
I felt that the blood in my heart was constantly rolling and rolling, like a suppressed crater, just waiting for the moment to erupt.
…………………………
Wei Yan fled in a bit of embarrassment. The reason for his embarrassment was not that he wanted to pretend to be defeated. After all, it was impossible for the second- and third-rate Guanghan soldiers led by Zhao Wei to resist the joint attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's level of battlefield warriors.
, so Wei Yan didn’t feel too aggrieved when he retreated. The main reason why Wei Yan felt very unhappy was because Zhang Fei, who was following closely behind him, was yelling and screaming along the way...
"You little rat who shoots cold arrows! Stop and fight San Lily with Third Master!"
"The dwarf with a black face! He ran away very fast! His abilities are all in his legs!"
"What a man! When you get into the battle formation, you can only run away!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly all the way, his voice was extremely loud, as if he was talking behind Wei Yan, and he didn't say that his breath was unstable and his voice was attenuated due to running after him.
"..." Wei Yan was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, but there was no way he could still have such a large lung capacity while running like Zhang Fei, and he could still shout out, but he could only have a stinky face.
He admitted that Zhang Fei was extremely talented and could not compete in this aspect, so he buried his head and pretended not to hear.
Zhang Fei was yelling and scolding happily, but he didn't notice that the gap between the soldiers of the two sides was reflected little by little. Although Zhang Fei's soldiers had traveled a long distance and had no physical advantage over Wei Yan's soldiers, but normally
Said, within three to five miles, the gap would not be so obvious...
At first it felt like it was just a little bit close, and it seemed like I could reach out and grab it. Then when I wielded my sword to cut it, I found that it was just a little bit short.
, the bow and arrow can be shot, but when I picked up the arrow and put it on the bow, I found that chasing and shooting like this, the arrow was just a little bit...
The two sides unknowingly changed from a state of staggering to one behind the other. Zhang Fei's soldiers struggled to catch up, but found that their speed had not decreased, and they were even harder than before, but Wei Yan's soldiers were still flying in front.
A piece of sand is thrown up, but you can't catch up.
"Three generals! Three... generals..." A messenger used all his strength to catch up with Zhang Fei from behind. While following Zhang Fei, he struggled to say, "...Guan, Guan
The general... said, said... no, no more pursuit... go back, go back..."
"Huh?" Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, feeling that he still couldn't hold his breath, "What did you say? Louder!"
"...Huh...cough...cough cough..." Just when the ordering soldier wanted to take a breath and repeat it, Zhang Fei slapped him on the back, and his breath suddenly became interrupted and he started coughing.
He couldn't help but stop, and couldn't follow Zhang Fei to continue chasing forward.
"Go back and tell General Guan, wait for a certain hour! I will take the head of this thief! Hahahaha! Guys, work harder. After tonight's victory, I will treat everyone to a drink!" Zhang Fei yelled,
He abandoned the messenger and led his men straight ahead to pursue him.
"Cough cough, cough cough..." The ordering soldier huffed, and after calming down his breath, he helplessly looked at Zhang Fei and others' retreating figures, and could only turn around and go back to report.
…………………………
At this moment, Guan Yu was at the place where Wei Yan had built a small half of the camp. He looked at the camp that was beginning to take shape and the wood and some equipment piled aside. He brushed his long beard and narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this attack was quite effective.
, just right. If we had waited until Zhengxi had completely established the camp before attacking, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did today.
"General, are these... going to be burned?" a sergeant said, pointing to Wei Yan's half-built camp.
Guan Yu and others did not intend to occupy this camp, because the main function of this camp was actually to block the exit of Wuli Jian, and the back of the camp was very wide. If Guan Yu and others set up camp here, it would actually be equivalent to
They gave up their advantageous location and exposed themselves to a more open place.
As for the enemy's camp that cannot be occupied, it is usually burned down without giving the opponent a chance to regain it for free.
But...
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the materials and equipment in the camp, "No, wait, don't set the fire yet, let people call some horses and horses from behind to transport all the things that can be transported away!"
Over the years, I followed Liu Bei all over the country. Although he is now called a general, in fact most of the time he clings to the little supplies he has on hand and makes calculations. Now he saw the conquest of the Western Wei Dynasty Yan Yingzhai.
With all these items and equipment inside, how could you be willing to burn them all?
If it weren't for the time and effort required to dismantle these walls, Guan Yu would have wanted to remove all the wood and nails and take them away.
Some soldiers found some food, grass, and dried meat in the camp. They came to report to Guan Yu happily. Guan Yu also smiled, arranged for some soldiers to cook, and then took turns to eat some. Did he win the battle?
Celebrating the enemy's supplies of supplies and fodder can be regarded as a small reward for these soldiers under his command, and can also win over the military morale of these Sichuan and Shu soldiers who have been newly added to their ranks.
Just as the aroma of dried meat and wild vegetable porridge gradually filled the air above the camp, the messenger came back out of breath and reported Zhang Fei's situation to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu frowned, feeling a little bad in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "Come here, send the order! Assemble the troops and follow the instructions of the three generals!"
…………………………
The wind in the mountains seemed to be getting stronger, blowing the surrounding treetops and shrubs. There were faint and rapid bird calls, as if some birds were disturbed by Zhang Fei and his group.
Zhang Fei looked at the gradually blurred figure in the smoke and dust rising in front, and then turned to look at the mountains on both sides. He suddenly felt uneasy for some reason, and his pace gradually slowed down. From the leading position at the front,
It landed somewhere further back.
"All troops, stop..."
Zhang Fei raised his long spear and was just about to give the order when he heard the roar of the mountains!
No!
This is not the sound of wind in the mountains, but the scream of arrows and crossbows!
In the mountain road, a series of jumping sounds suddenly sounded!
On the mountains on both sides, I don’t know when, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared, either kneeling or standing, holding bows, or holding crossbows. Without saying a word, they fired arrows at Zhang Fei’s soldiers who were in the mountain road.
The crossbow arrows splashed down like raindrops!
These "raindrops", with a shimmering cold light and a sharp whistling, accompanied by the mountain mist, fell from the sky and fell rapidly!
"Be careful! There is an ambush!" Zhang Fei waved his long spear like a windmill, knocking away more than a dozen arrows and crossbow bolts coming towards him, "Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
For the convenience of movement, Huang Cheng's mountain camp soldiers did not carry a large number of heavy crossbows. Instead, they basically used bows and arrows or hand crossbows. Although they were not as powerful as heavy crossbows at close range, they were sharp and sharp when thrown down.
The arrow was also a heavy blow that was difficult to withstand for Zhang Fei's unsuspecting soldiers.
Zhang Fei's soldiers suddenly howled and screamed again and again. The soldiers on both sides of the mountain were like vegetable leaves that had been ripped off, with one layer missing!
Huang Cheng took his own long bow, exposed half of his body from the bushes, attached a wolf-fang arrow, and aimed at Zhang Fei...
Zhang Fei suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by some wild beast. He felt a sudden chill all over his body and immediately jumped back without saying a word!
An arrow whizzed over and struck Zhang Fei in front of Zhang Fei's eyes with a "pop" sound. If Zhang Fei hadn't changed his body just now, I'm afraid he would have been shot by now...
"Tsk..." Although Huang Cheng knew that the hit was missed and the opponent was wary, he still took the second arrow. It was like a lottery anyway. How would you know if you could win if you didn't try?
Sure enough, most lottery prizes are not won.
Zhang Fei crouched and hid his figure among the guards. Huang Cheng quickly lost the window for shooting. He could only regretfully throw the long bow to his own guards aside, then he raised his sword, whistled, and led
The soldiers began to charge down the mountain.
Wei Yan, who had originally turned around the mountain road, also came back with his soldiers, and gathered together with Huang Cheng. While slashing and killing Zhang Fei's soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment, he shouted loudly:
"What a man! When you get into battle, you only know how to run! Why don't you stop and fight San Lily with someone!"
"A black-faced bearded guy! He ran away pretty fast! His abilities are all in his legs!"
