Although the school knife hands piled up shields and moved slowly, they looked like an old man, but when the school knife hands started charging with a whistle, they directly swept through the remaining distance of the stone bridge and rushed into the Cao army's array like a strong steel wind!
It happened to be stuck in the gap between the order to change the array of Wenpin!
Wenpin ordered the archers to suppress Huang Zhong's archers and retreat to the second line.
There is nothing wrong with this command.
The problem is that the rigid Cao army soldiers cannot keep up with the flexible and changeable Huang Zhong's troops!
If the normal process is followed, the Cao army's archers will shoot and retreat, and exchange it with the Cao army's sword and shield hands behind it. This is basically a normal battle formation operation, and this tactic is the most basic and is also a pattern engraved in the minds of every soldier.
According to thousands of training sessions, the sword and shield hand slightly turned sideways and made way out of the passage. At this time, the archers were about to penetrate the passage and then reassembled behind the sword and shield hand.
But Huang Zhong's school knife hand roared out!
Huang Zhong's school knife handle did not wait for Huang Zhong's order, but directly seized the opportunity of Cao's army changing the formation!
Faced with the sudden change in the school knife hand, the Cao army archers on the opposite side were inevitably affected, which triggered an effect similar to a domino.
Originally, Huang Zhong's school knife hand moved very slowly. Of course, the main purpose was not to deceive Cao's army, but to seek stability and reduce the probability of casualties. Therefore, in the first half of the stone bridge, it is inevitable that the soldiers in the Cao army's array would have left the impression that these school knife hand could not walk fast, or that it was difficult to walk fast...
However, at this moment, the sudden acceleration of the knife hand of the school was naturally caught by the Cao army's archers. Most of these archers were still dealing with the speed of the original knife hand movement, and the speed of changing the array was slower. Seeing the knife hand surged up madly and the Cao army's archers who were still behind were inevitably afraid, and their movements were deformed.
Some people started to accelerate and wanted to return to the safer second line before Huang Zhong’s school knife hands arrived. Some people were stunned and at a loss. Some people tried to turn their heads and shoot the rushing school knife hands...
Although the school knife hand rushed forward and indeed entered the range of the archer's powerful power, because the Cao army's archers were changing formations, many people were not ready to shoot, and even the arrows were not taken out in the archer's bag, and there was only an empty bow in their hand!
Even if Cao Jun archers took out the arrows in time, they did not have much accuracy in a hurry. Not all archers are sharpshooters, especially when dealing with moving targets. Just like hunters shooting prey, if there is only one prey, the accuracy will probably increase. However, if a group of prey runs around, a little inexperienced hunter often fires empty guns because they are aiming at one eye, while the other one in their hand may be aiming at another.
In this case, even if the knife-claw hand is shot, it is not an important part.
Several school knives were shot in the chest, but they could not break their sperm and iron breasts.
There were also several people who were shot in their arms and legs and were unable to continue fighting, so they retreated under the protection of their comrades.
After Cao Jun archers finished a round of panic shooting, the school knife hand was about to rush in front of him!
Some of Cao's archers wanted to continue shooting, but they were hit by Huang Zhong's archers!
The school knife hand gave up the position on the stone bridge, and then more archers from Huang Zhong's side filled in. In the terrified eyes of Cao Jun opposite, Huang Zhong's side's archers from the second row raised their longbow and began to shoot on a large scale.
『High wind!』
『High wind!』
The archers on Huang Zhong's side repeated the command, and a large number of arrows roared out, rushed towards the sky, and then turned down and landed towards Cao's side!
Cao Jun's sword and shield hands were squeezed together with the archer, and there was no room for evasion!
"Puchi!"
『Ahhhhhhh…』
Screams rang one after another.
Cao Jun's sword and shield hand was fine, his head was shrinking down and he used his shield and armor to resist the arrows. However, those Cao Jun's archers were in trouble because most of these archers were armored, so it would not hurt to stab them anywhere.
『High wind!』
A loud shout sounded, and another sound of arrows roaring into the air.
As the arrow rain fell, Cao's soldiers rolled on the ground wailing.
Originally, the mountain road was not spacious, with a cross-section of only 40 or 50 steps, and in many places it was only 60 or 70 steps, so the distance between the two sides was not far away. In this case, the arrows shot out could cause relatively large damage to units without armor or thin armor.
Even though the arrow did not hit the vital point, a large amount of blood splashed.
『High wind! Strong wind!』
After the archers of Huang Zhong's side who were shooting in rotation, immediately retreated quickly and retreated to the back of his own spearmen array. The subsequent archers took over the previous archers and aimed at Cao Jun's head to pour arrows on his head.
The bowstrings were like fried beans, and the arrows rose to the sky with their teeth and claws, and then gnawed out bursts of blood mist from the Cao army array. The thin-armored Cao army archers suffered quite terrible damage. Even if the Cao army soldiers who were caught in the blockbuster did not roll on the ground, the people who covered the wounds could not continue to participate in the subsequent battle.
Under such circumstances, Cao's army will inevitably have great chaos.
On the one hand, Cao Jun couldn't get his sword and shield and was blocked by his own archers. On the other hand, the passage that was left open could not be closed because he was also stuck in his own archers!
This state of being beaten but not fighting back is really frustrating, especially when I see my comrades around me fall down, but I can't do anything about it. Not to mention how strong this psychological pressure is. Moreover, Cao's army's fighting will is not that strong. In the forefront, they are already arrays that can only be pulled up after being mixed with the remaining parts of Wenpin. This approach can only be temporary, but there will be problems in the end.
After disrupting the Cao army's array, Huang Zhong's archers gave in to both sides, revealing the heavily armored spearmen in the middle. The dense layers of spears flipped up, shining dazzling light in the sunlight. Waves of heavy armored spearmen rushed over, shouting and rushing towards him, as if they were going to mix with the school knife hands to completely defeat the Cao army's array and break up!
Although Huang Zhong's school knife hand can also kill and defeat these Cao's army formations, the single soldiers of the school knife hand will undoubtedly be subject to greater restrictions and are easily restrained by the opponent. Therefore, adding some heavy armored spearmen is like injecting lubricating oil into this killing machine, which significantly improves its operation efficiency.
As Huang Zhong's subordinates attacked the Cao army's army's army, the mixed Cao army array became increasingly unable to support it.
The sound of knife slashing and guns stabbing into the flesh is constantly sounding, and muffled and screaming continues to sound.
After Huang Zhong's clever arrangement, the Cao army soldiers naturally had to pay a greater price to deal with the mistakes. On the front line of Cao's fight, nearly half of the casualties were in a blink of an eye, and many of the remaining Cao army soldiers were injured. They were originally unrestrained and densely packed military formations were no longer in formation.
Especially the bloody courage that Cao's soldiers finally raised was already eroded.
Even if the remaining Cao army soldiers broke out in a crazy struggle at the end of their lives, they were not the opponent of the experienced and thick-blooded school knife hand? The shield resisted the explosion, and then took advantage of the opponent's shortness of breath and breathing, and then took advantage of the opponent's breath and slashed in. It was all about it. It took a little more effort and longer time than the other Cao army soldiers.
Huang Zhong's heavy armored spearmen was even simpler. There was a school knife hand in front to resist the Cao army soldiers and Huang Zhong's archers were supported behind, so that these small number of heavy armored spearmen did not need to consider their own risks, but just needed to concentrate on attacking. Their sharp spears and halberds were specifically searching for flesh and blood in the cracks of humans. As long as there was a slight flaw in the array of Cao army soldiers, these spears and halberds arrived, taking away the blood. Every assassination was harvesting the lives of Cao army soldiers.
In this narrow and embarrassing mountain road, the soldiers on both sides shouted unconsciously in the fierce battle, scattering sweat and blood.
Human struggles are always the embodiment of primitive power and impulse.
When their lives are at the greatest danger, the soldiers on both sides are instinctively biting, struggling and killing each other. They pour all their courage and fear into their shouts, trying to inspire themselves and shock the enemy in this way.
Weapons rise and fall one after another, just like the cycle of reincarnation every day and the end of every dynasty.
Begins with iron and blood, and also perishes with iron and blood.
Every wave is filled with strength and despair.
They cut and stabbed at opponents who had the same skin color and the same words as them, who might be their friends, neighbors and even relatives in peacetime.
They even met, greeted each other in the same big episode, and traded each other's output and harvest, but now in the torrent of war, everything has been distorted, and human nature has been stripped away in extreme environments and only the instinct of survival remains.
The soldiers who were cut and stabbed had different reactions in the face of fatal damage.
Some soldiers fell down silently and sighed helplessly. They might have been used to life and death, and had a premonition of such an ending, but they were powerless to change, so they could only accept it silently.
Popular blood flowed out of their bodies and stained the mountain road.
Wu Guandao, who had eaten enough blood in Qin and Chu's fight back then, has now ushered in fresh blood and fresh meat again and again.
The cruel and bloody battle did not last long. The Cao army soldiers quickly couldn't hold on and began to collapse and retreat, without even waiting for Wen Pin to send support or issue orders...
In the eyes of Cao's soldiers, their own comrades were getting fewer and fewer, but there seemed to be more and more enemies. Many people could no longer suppress their inner fear and ran away screaming.
"Cao's army was defeated."
Huang Zhong muttered.
Through the confused blood mist and smoke, we can see that many of the soldiers of the Cao army were already blinded. Some people ran around with their heads in their arms, some people abandoned their weapons, screamed and fled back, while the rest were stunned and didn't know what to do.
『This is already very good...』 Huang Zhong praised half-truely, and immediately sent an order, "Form a formation! Promote!"
『Wait...wait...』 Pang Shanmin hurriedly stepped forward and said, 『General Huang, this...you have forgotten the trap you mentioned just now...』
"How could it be forgotten?" Huang Zhong smiled, raised his chin slightly, and his long beard fluttered in the wind. "The rockets are ready... Next, it depends on how Wen Zhongye will choose...
"Look at how Wen Zhongye chooses?" Pang Shanmin couldn't understand it.
Huang Zhong seemed to be talking about the present, or the future.
Pang Shanmin stood behind Huang Zhong, looking at the battlefield on the mountain road, and suddenly understood something.
There were so many marriages between Qin and Chu back then!
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although in order to strengthen contact and support each other, marriages were often used as political means to make friends with each other, the marriages between Qin and Chu were more special from the beginning than other vassal states.
Because Qin and Chu were all barbarians for several vassal states in the Central Plains.
The initial purpose of the Qin-Chu marriage was also to fight against the powerful opponent of the Central Plains at that time, the State of Jin. Under such common interests, the marriage between Qin and Chu was recorded in seven times, which did not include the examples that might not have been recorded. Moreover, such marriages were of a very high-level position, including King Gong of Chu, King Ping of Chu, and Queen Mother Xuan of Qin, Mi Bazi, the daughter of the Duke of Chu. This marriage not only helped the political mutual support of the two countries, but also promoted the cultural exchange and integration between Qin and Chu.
So Liuli and Liubaili, from a certain perspective, are a kind of trust between the original "relatives".
But in the end, this "trust" was exchanged for benefits.
Qin Chu was originally a friend, a relative, and a friendly army, but he still couldn't escape the ending of fighting each other on Wuguan Road.
If Chu could cross Lantian during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, perhaps the history would be different.
However, Qin failed to invade Jingxiang, and Chu may still use birds and flowers as the words...
Now, Pang Shanmin suddenly realized that it is actually very similar to history.
Qin Chu back then, but now isn’t Qin Chu?
The sound of drum beats in the middle army sounded, and Huang Zhong's soldiers all responded to shout. The sound was loud and the sound was rolling past the mountain road like thunder.
The school knife hands re-formed the formation and advanced like a wall. However, the Cao army soldiers in front of them retreated one after another, and no one dared to come forward to fight.
Cao Jun’s courage has been released!
It's like a collapse, not everyone can hold it tightly and can hold it back...
Wen Pin looked at the soldiers of Cao's army who had already appeared as a defeated prime minister and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to issue some order, but after a moment he fell silent.
Even if he rushed forward with his only remaining troops, he might not be able to change anything.
Is there anyone who can change the entire battle situation with one person?
There is indeed, but it often requires the right time, place, and people, and neither is missing.
It was like Master Guan Erzhao killing Yan Liang.
Mr. Luo just said that Yan Liang thought Guan Yu was coming to join the crowd, Guan Yu was quick, Yan Liang was not careful, and then he was chopped with a crack. However, in fact, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang in history, which was really fierce, and he didn't dare to write that novel.
In history, Guan Yu did not raid or sneak attack, but was an open and storm.
Because the Three Kingdoms depicts "Yu Qiang, defeat, and kill Liang."
"Forward" means rushing in front, and "breaking" means breaking through the opponent's army formation.
So Yan Liang would never be killed without defense. It can only mean that he was defending, but he didn't defend himself...
Generals personally fight, which is high-risk, and generally few people do this.
Wen Pin tightly held the long knife in his hand, and the blue veins swelled up, but his feet did not move.
A moment later, Wen Pin ordered, "Shut the gold! Withdraw the troops!"
The guard beside Wenpin was stunned for a moment, "Master, we are just withdrawing like this? Then, what about those horse-rejecting traps?"
A horse-rejecting trap with something that leads to fire.
Indeed, if you rely on these traps, you can still drag it down and even kill some Huang Zhong's soldiers.
But in this way...
Wen Pin looked up at the array under Huang Zhong's command in the distance, his eyes moved slightly, and finally shook his head and said, "The strategy is not applied all."
These traps are no longer necessary.
On the one hand, Wen Pin believes that Huang Zhong has mostly seen through these traps, and the braziers in the distance are warnings for Wen Pin. If Wen Pin still wants to resist and lure around the trap, then the one who is waiting for may not be Huang Zhong's soldiers, but rockets falling from the sky!
On the other hand...
"Ming Jin withdrew his troops!" Wen Pin repeated.
Since Wen Pin reiterated his emphasis, although his guard felt it was a pity that he gave up the trap and retreated in vain, he still implemented the order.
The sharp sound of gold sounded, and the Cao army soldiers retreated in a hurry as if they had received a general amnesty.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong also ordered the withdrawal of troops.
After all, overcoming those traps to chase Wenpin is not a smart and rational choice.
In war, it is correct to pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage, but it is also correct not to pursue the same defeated enemy.
And the most important thing is that Wen Pin gave up the last method here, and seemed to show an interesting attitude...
