Chapter 2816: Killing with a borrowed knife is suspicious, the old and the new fight together in the forest
It is not that difficult to lure the enemy. After all, both humans and animals have the instinct to chase prey. What is difficult is how to overcome the instinct.
Two armies confront each other, and both sides of the war plot against each other. If the weak wants to defeat the strong, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the strong makes a mistake and exposes a flaw, while the weak also seizes this flaw. Only then can the situation of the war be reversed. If
The strong man's position is solid and there is nothing wrong with it, but the weak man's strategy may not be of any use no matter how clever it is.
In the final analysis, what both sides are fighting for is strength.
Especially in war, not only the weak have the right to use strategies.
Zhu Huan, wearing heavy armor, stood in the queue.
In the age of cold weapons, armor was almost the second life of soldiers. Zhu Huan's men basically all wore armor, but the Shanyue barbarians on the opposite side could only use their bodies and luck to resist damage.
The guards behind Zhu Huan raised the battle flag high and fluttered it in the wind. The flag with the word "Zhu" fluttered in the wind, hunting and flying among the mountains. The bright red flag surface was like blood flowing.
Zhu Huan took a long breath and shouted: "You rats, Zhu is here, who dares to fight?!"
Zhu Huan's invitation to fight immediately caused an uproar among the barbarians.
People in the Han Dynasty were relatively simple. Zhu Huan said that he was Zhu Huan, and most of the barbarians did not know Zhu Huan, but no one doubted it. They all looked at each other, and their eyes revealed more or less something.
The color of hatred comes.
In this period of time, Zhu Huan has slaughtered many barbarian villages, which can be said to have stretched the hatred value to death. Now he has openly entered the mountains, and there are only more than a hundred people around him. This seems to be a good opportunity for revenge.
Perhaps as long as Zhu Huan is captured, the situation of the battle can be reversed and victory can be achieved!
"Kill him! Kill him!" A leader of the Southern Barbarians jumped out, baring his teeth and gesticulating. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity and he couldn't miss it!
Although Nanman Shanyue knows that Zhu Huan and others are more troublesome, there are only more than a hundred people around Zhu Huan now. Even if these soldiers are elite and good at fighting, the gap in number between Nanman Shanyue and Nanman Shanyue is still huge, and this is the middle of the mountains and forests.
The land is not next to the river boat. Even if you pay two to three times the price, as long as you can capture and kill Zhu Huan, it is acceptable!
Zhu Huan and the others seemed not to have expected that the Nanman would attack madly. The queue was somewhat scattered. When the Nanman Shanyue and others were about to rush forward, the sword and shield bearers were lined up in the front row and were ready to fight.
.
The barbarian archers took the lead in launching the attack.
Zhu Huan glanced sideways at the arrows used by the barbarians, then took a step back slightly and asked the guards to raise their shields to block the arrows. The force was not very strong, but the accuracy was not bad, especially the poisonous barbarian arrows.
arrow.
Behind the barbarians who are howling and charging, there are always some barbarian hunters aiming at the weak points of Jiangdong soldiers and others. These barbarian arrows may not have much armor-breaking ability, but they will definitely contain various toxins.
.Zhu Huan just wanted to lure the enemy, and he was not so reckless as to leave his life to the disposal of the goddess of luck.
The barbarian's arrows landed on the shields, making a sound like exploding beans, but Zhu Huan and the others did not move at all, and did not even fight back. This was the greatest expression of contempt for the barbarians.
As long as they don't hit vital parts such as the face, barbarian arrows can't penetrate the armor. Especially if they cross the front line and land at Zhu Huan's side, their strength will be reduced even more.
Under the shield of the guards, Zhu Huan's safety is still guaranteed to a certain extent, so that he can issue instructions to adjust the queue in a more timely manner.
When the barbarians saw this, they became even more angry. They howled, formed a loose formation, waved their weapons, and rushed towards Zhu Huan.
Seeing the barbarian rushing to the front of the array, Zhu Chang roared, rushed out from the gap between the two shield hands, and wielded his sword to attack the barbarian at the head. The sword slashed left and right, killing two people in a row. More barbarians were killed.
Rushing up, Zhu Chang was not afraid. He danced with his long sword and made a whirring sound. He was invincible and attracted the attention of many barbarians. He screamed and rushed towards Zhu Chang, which invisibly made the people who were not very neat in the first place invisible.
The barbarian queue became even more scattered.
"Enter!"
Zhu Huan shouted loudly, and the pikemen behind the shield bearer suddenly shot out of the gap in the shield like Zhu Chang, like a hedgehog suddenly erecting its thorns, and immediately penetrated the bodies of many barbarians, drawing blood.
Flowers spurted out, dyeing the open space in the forest a bright red color.
"retreat!"
Zhu Huan shouted loudly again, and then the sword and shield hand also shouted loudly, which resounded throughout the sky above the battle line.
Zhu Chang also shouted, and then knocked down a barbarian. He didn't look behind at all, but stared at the barbarians on the left and right in front. While waving his sword to hit the barbarian's weapon, he backed up and hit the shield of the friendly troops behind him.
, then twisted around and slid over the shield, hiding behind it.
The rest of the spearmen did the same, fighting and retreating, retreating into the shield formation.
Of course, there were also spearmen who charged too fiercely, or unlucky guys who accidentally stepped on the wrong side of the battlefield. These guys were surrounded by the barbarians who followed, and were killed instantly with swords and guns.
Zhu Huan glanced at the spearmen who had been killed, his expressions unmoving.
Although the more than one hundred people brought by Zhu Huan are all private soldiers of his headquarters, there are also three, six or nine ranks. The spearmen are undoubtedly the lowest recruits in the headquarters array. The spearmen need to master the least skills.
All you need to do is to know how to sprint forward to kill and retreat into the formation. Once these recruits are familiar with spear training and their bodies have become stronger or more flexible during the training process, they can then choose to focus on the sword and shield hand according to the situation.
Or crossbowmen, etc.
Those who are lucky will gradually become elite warriors with rich combat experience, but those who are unlucky...
The spearmen retreated, and the barbarians stepped on the dead bodies and rushed forward.
Even though these barbarians howled menacingly, these mountain Vietnamese barbarians, who had no idea what array training was, were running around crookedly. These scattered corpses and stumps became an obstacle to the barbarians' charge.
The sword and shield players in Zhu Huan's battle formation fought hard, beheading the barbarians who were rushing towards them one after another on their corpses and body parts, and then added more flesh and blood in front of the formation.
Although the formation of Zhu Huan and others was small, it was powerful. More than a hundred soldiers under Zhu Huan's command fought vigorously. Although the barbarians several times larger than Jiangdong's army continued to charge in front of the formation, they were still unable to break through Zhu Huan.
's front.
Zhu Huan stood in the formation, motionless.
The battle flag flying overhead seemed to be mocking the barbarians for their overestimation of their own capabilities.
Seeing more barbarians rushing up, Zhu Huan raised his sword, strode forward, and at the same time shouted: "Change!"
After hearing this, Zhu Chang, who was feeling short of breath from the killing, immediately put away his sword, stepped back, and gave up his position to Zhu Huan.
Zhu Huan took it, spread his legs slightly, picked up the sword, swung it diagonally, and slashed the neck of a barbarian who saw Zhu Chang retreating and was eager to pursue the kill and lost his posture.
An umbrella-shaped blood mist was sprayed out, and then the long knife swung, throwing the blood on the face of the second barbarian who rushed up.
The barbarian closed his eyes subconsciously, and then he felt a cold feeling on his belly, and all the energy in his body flowed out like a punctured water bag.
Before the second barbarian realized the fact that he had been chopped, Zhu Huan had already knocked away the sword that the third barbarian had chopped off, and then cut off one of the fourth barbarian's arms.
At this time, the internal organs in the belly of the second barbarian fell to the ground in colorful colors...
The surrounding barbarians were stunned and stunned, and they all took a step back. For several seconds, no one dared to approach Zhu Huan again. After a while, under Zhu Huan's beckoning and teasing, they howled and rushed forward again.
Most of the barbarians have not received effective training. During the battle, these guys just know how to slash with their swords. If they are very powerful, such as Samoko, they may be able to cause certain damage to Zhu Huan.
Threat, but if you are just an ordinary person, even a little weak due to lack of daily nutrition, and encounter a skilled general like Zhu Huan, basically don't think about taking advantage of him.
Zhu Huan has strength, and he also has pretty good power-generating skills. When facing these barbarians, he can use these skills almost without reservation. On the one hand, in order to save his physical strength, on the other hand, he has some problems with the heavy armor on his body.
Confidence, so he stood erect in front of the battle and refused to yield even a step in the collision of swords and guns. This added a bit of strength to his fighting process and won the unanimous applause of his soldiers.
When the two sides were slaughtered with blood and flesh, in the mountains and forests, Huang Gai and his men secretly outflanked the Vietnamese while the Vietnamese barbarians were distracted by Zhu Huan.
But on the other side, there is also a group of barbarians sneaking towards the river...
Although Zhu Huan is currently very famous and brave, it does not mean that Zhu Huan is guaranteed to win.
Zhu Huan did not expect that he and more than a hundred people could kill all the barbarians in these strongholds. Moreover, where the barbarian leaders were, there were more or less dozens of hundreds of barbarian warriors. Even if Zhu Huan were to
Even if he can fight, the strength of his elite soldiers is not unlimited, and most of the barbarian leaders have not sent out the real barbarian warriors. Obviously, they also want to use cannon fodder to consume the blood of Zhu Huan and others. Lan.
If Huang Gai comes without his troops and Zhu Huan and others take another turn or two, they must consider retreating before their strength is completely exhausted. Of course, if they retreat and lose their array, they will obviously be more flexible and flexible in the mountains and forests.
The convenient barbarian will cause huge casualties to Zhu Huan and others.
This point has been verified many times during the previous confrontation between Jiangdong and Nanman Shanyue, so Zhu Huan knew it in his heart, and the barbarian leader opposite also knew it.
Zhu Huan was waiting for Huang Gai, while the barbarian leader on the opposite side sent people to bypass the battlefield and prepare to destroy Zhu Huan and others' ship. If Zhu Huan's ship was destroyed, then the barbarian leader would have the confidence to destroy Zhu Huan's ship.
Zhu Huan and others all stayed in the mountains and forests!
There are many mountains and forests in the Wuling area, and they are uneven up and down. Unlike Jizhou and Yuzhou, the view is wide. In addition, the bushes cover the area, and there are also the sounds of killing and screaming in the battlefield. Unless they bump into each other face to face, there will be no chance at all.
Know what's going on on the other side of the woods.
In the center of the battlefield, Zhu Huan has exchanged formations twice, and the battle has gradually entered a more bloody stage. After the initial death of the southern barbarian cannon fodder, barbarian warriors gradually joined the battle. The numbers of these barbarian warriors
The combat experience is much higher than that of ordinary barbarians.
These barbarian warriors seized on the biggest weakness of Zhu Huan and others, which was the small number of people. The southern barbarian warriors did not easily come forward to fight for their lives. They used hurling stones and blow darts from the outside to harass. Even if they came to fight with swords and guns, they retreated at the first touch.
There was no long-term fight with Zhu Huan and others.
This way of fighting forced Zhu Huan and others to face more opponents, and also caused Zhu Huan and others' physical consumption to increase rapidly. When Zhu Huan withdrew his backline breath adjustment for the third time, even
With a body like Zhu Huan's, he was already sweating profusely and panting.
Although the Wuling area does not have the tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia or the density of mountain forests in the South Central Jiaozhi area, the mountains and forests are still relatively humid in spring, and strenuous exercise makes it even more depressing, especially if you are not used to being in the mountains and forests.
Among them, there were Jiangdong soldiers in armor and heavy loads. Almost all of them had their hearts beating so fast that they were about to burst out of their throats. Their throats were about to smoke, and the stinging pain was unbearable.
Zhu Huan even had a wavering thought in his heart.
Because they have armor, the casualties of Jiangdong soldiers are smaller than those of barbarians. However, because of the extra armor on their bodies, Jiangdong soldiers' physical exertion is now greater and more tiring than those of barbarians who do not wear armor. If they continue
Continue like this……
Seeing that Jiang Dong's soldiers began to show signs of fatigue, and the hands that collided with Jiang Dong could also feel that the strength of these soldiers began to weaken, these barbarians started shouting, and their momentum became more and more fierce.
Colliding with Jiang Dongbing's array.
At this moment, one can see the difference between Jiangdong's private soldiers and ordinary soldiers.
Private soldiers are more tenacious. As long as Zhu Huan does not fall, he will not retreat easily even if he grits his teeth. If this were a group of ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, most of them would have collapsed and started to flee at this time.
Therefore, in this battle, it is not that Zhu Huan does not want to bring more soldiers, nor is it that Zhu Huan deliberately takes risks, but that in addition to the more than a hundred elites in this headquarters, even if he brings one hundred more soldiers, even
Two hundred ordinary soldiers will not increase their combat effectiveness much.
In the face of such strong pressure, the ordinary soldiers in Jiangdong could easily collapse, and once the soldiers collapsed, the chain impact on the front line would inevitably drag Zhu Huan's headquarters into the water.
As for the servant soldiers who were originally captured from Shanyue, it is not to mention that it is okay to attack other areas. If they enter the territory of Shanyue, they may not even fight before they see their original relatives and neighbors, muttering secretly
After a while, even betrayal on the spot is possible. Therefore, whenever Jiangdong wants to march into the Shanyue area, he usually will not bring these servants.
Zhu Huan's private soldiers and their families were basically supported by Zhu Huan. From another perspective, the families of these private soldiers were the hostages held by Zhu Huan. Of course, these private soldiers had to protect Zhu Huan when they fought.
, if only Zhu Huan dies, even if these people can escape with their lives, they will not end well. Often the whole family will be arrested and buried as traitors, so most private soldiers, especially
Zhu Huan's bodyguards were all willing to die in battle with Zhu Huan, so as to keep their families safe.
The battle was fierce. Although some of their companions continued to fall in a pool of blood, Zhu Huan and the others still fought tenaciously and did not flinch. They gritted their teeth and endured.
The barbarians were also in a difficult situation.
There were many of them, but Zhu Huanxuan's position was very good. The barbarians could not take full advantage of their numerical advantage. In addition, after the battle casualties, blood and spring moss were mixed with the mud, as well as corpses and stumps, which were high and low under their feet.
, unable to go all out, facing the array of Zhu Huan and others, although they fought one after another, they have been unable to achieve a substantial breakthrough, and as the battle situation became stalemate, more and more barbarians were injured and killed, which also weakened their confidence.
Slowly fading away, the fighting spirit is no longer high.
When several barbarian leaders saw this scene, they were extremely anxious.
Their number was several times that of Zhu Huan and others, and even after the battle, they were still unable to break Zhu Huan's formation of more than a hundred men. Although they did cause some casualties to Zhu Huan and others, the injured soldiers were quickly dragged to
They went into the formation, so the barbarians could not calculate the specific casualties of Zhu Huan and others for a while.
The total number of barbarians now is only close to a thousand people. Although the number does not seem to be large, it is just like someone from Jiangdong who always talks about one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. The specifics also depend on the quality. These nearly one thousand people can be
They are young and strong, which means they are the serious core force of the Southern Barbarians, which is the same as those of Zhu Huan's private soldiers.
These nearly a thousand people are equivalent to the backbone of seven to eight hundred barbarian families. If there are really too many casualties in this battle, even if Zhu Huan and others are really killed, they may not be a single person.
What a bargain…
Is it a desperate move, or is it just a matter of giving up?
The opinions of the barbarian leaders are somewhat inconsistent.
When there was a stalemate, Huang Gai saw that he had reached almost the same position, and some of them had even begun to contact and fight with the barbarians on the edge of the battlefield, so he simply ordered an attack.
The war drums were beaten, reverberating loudly in the mountains and forests.
Huang Gai led his men and dispersed them into small teams. There was no specific formation, and they just rushed towards the barbarian troops from all directions. The barbarians were frightened immediately, shouting wild words in their mouths, feeling dizzy and confused.
measures.
Seeing Huang Gai's flag flashing among the trees and shrubs, Zhu Huan leaned on his sword and let out a long breath.
He persisted.
Huang Gai is here.
Zhu Huan had wondered more than once before whether Huang Gai was deliberately trying to use the barbarians' swords to undermine Zhu Huan's strength, so Zhu Huan was worried that Huang Gai would wait until he had exhausted all his men before he showed up.
Zhu Huan had doubts, but he did not speak out or express objections because he was a young general in Jiangdong. He was not qualified to say anything in front of Huang Gai...
Now it seems that Zhu Huan is overly concerned?
He saw Huang Gai appear at the edge of the forest and seemed to have his eyes on him.
At such a moment, the two people seemed to exchange some information in their eyes...
Zhu Huan stood up straight, raised his blood-stained sword, and shouted hoarsely: "Kill——"
Huang Gai also raised his sword in the distance and shouted the same voice: "Kill!"
"kill!"
Jiangdong soldiers raised their weapons and rushed towards the barbarians to kill them.
The arrival of reinforcements from Jiangdong completely destroyed the little remaining confidence of several barbarian leaders.
These barbarians had no intention of fighting and immediately ordered a retreat. The barbarians, who had been unable to fight for a long time, had their own morale and could not attack Zhu Huan for a long time. They themselves were a little frustrated. Then they saw so many Jiangdong soldiers swarming around them. After hearing the order to retreat, they were in chaos.
Shouting, not caring about whether those who went to retreat could achieve any results, they just wanted to follow the barbarian leader and leave the battlefield...
