According to Gongsun Shu's original words: "Since ancient times, kings and princes have been surrendered as if they were faced with an enemy. The same principle applies to aiding others. We must prepare to aid others in the face of enemy forces."
Although Zhou Xing's first reaction was that Gongsun Shu was worrying too much, after pondering for a while, he thought about the phenomenon of porcelain that was often encountered in that world, and he finally agreed to Gongsun Shu's proposal.
But even after two days of slow travel, the team's mental outlook was significantly better than the previous few days, but it was still not as energetic as usual.
Even with Zhou Xing's profound cultivation, even though he had no problem with his physical strength, he still felt mentally exhausted after traveling long distances for more than ten days in a row.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that in my first battle, I was beaten by the enemy and left to wait for work." Zhou Xing thought bitterly in his heart, "If I hadn't accepted the advice humbly, if I hadn't had the attribute Gongsun Shu,
I'm afraid that if I don't even need to fight now, I'll be taken over by the other party."
At this time, he was no longer on the horse. Instead, he picked up a small bag and fed his mount bean cakes. His first battalion of the elite troops of the Bodao people were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, and some were eating dry food.
, someone is drinking water.
When he first discovered that an enemy was approaching, Gongsun Shu's first order was to sit down on the ground and seize every possible moment to recover. However, only Gongsun Shu himself sat on his mount and looked at the approaching enemy troops.
, calculating the distance between the two sides.
The opponent's pressing speed was neither fast nor slow. He didn't shout loudly, he just walked at a leisurely pace.
"The leader of the army on the opposite side is definitely someone who has been in the army for a long time. He is a difficult opponent." Gongsun Shu said heartily. His family has a long history of education, and his ancestors have been passing on their past experiences for generations.
According to his experience, many people who are new to the battlefield have almost exhausted their physical strength before running in front of the opponent. Some are nervous and don't know how to move, and some are trembling with fear.
As a general, you must take all aspects into consideration.
The reason why he dared to let everyone in the first battalion sit on the ground and take a rest was because he relied on his daily training.
After he saw Zhou Xing's training method for the first time, he was trembling with excitement. He knew in his heart that this training method was exactly what he had been thinking about but couldn't find.
Facts have proved that the sergeants trained in this way are faced with a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. As long as the commander does not say stop, the sergeant will keep moving forward.
It was with this kind of discipline and obedience, and the proficiency that had been trained for a long time, that he dared to let them rest for a while with confidence.
He was calculating the distance from which the opponent would charge.
He believed that the time it took for his first battalion soldiers to stand up and get into formation was probably shorter than the time it took for the opponent to charge.
His hands holding the horse's reins were already slippery, and he was feeling nervous and excited at the same time.
He has no spiritual veins, and he is not a monk.
But he has always been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child. He thinks that he is full of knowledge, but because of his status as a civilian, he seems to be unable to see any opportunities to put it to use.
"This battle is just the beginning." Gongsun Shu gritted his teeth and said to himself, then he said loudly: "Everyone, stand up!"
"Archer, nock an arrow!"
"see!"
"Pull the string!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrows of the elite army of the common people of Bodao are basically made of sharpened bamboo or wood, and there is no excess pig iron wasted on arrows that are generally consumables.
Most of the refugees on the opposite side were the villagers who worked under the former Xiyi captain, and there were quite a few of them wearing armor. Hundreds of arrows were fired here. Although it caused a commotion and a few screams, the damage was really limited. Moreover, this
Immediately, some people picked up their bows and arrows and shot towards the elite troops of the common people of Bodao.
"Hold on! Maintain the formation!" Huo Yan looked at the opponent's neatly arranged phalanx, and when he saw everyone on the opponent wearing rattan armor and holding spears, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
As a military farmer who has lived in Wenshan County for three generations, and as a veteran who has fought dozens of battles with the Qiang people there, Huo Yan has extremely rich combat experience.
Since the death of Mr. Chen, the original Xiyi Colonel, life has become difficult for them, the villagers under the Xiyi Captain. Several cronies under Chen's general ledger swept away the money and food from the Xiyi Colonel's mansion, and then unknown
Since the dragons were leaderless and the Qiang people were ready to make a move, Huo Yan and others jointly recommended Jian Shuo, who was an outstanding warrior, as their master.
After Luo Shang entered Shu, Jian Shuo also immediately sent people to cd to express his loyalty to Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou who was also the captain of Xiyi. Although Luo Shang said he would let bygones be bygones, he sent someone to follow him from Liangzhou
As soon as the agent arrived in Wenshan, he began to collect charges against them and threatened to punish them. How could Jian Shuo, Huo Yan and others not know that the agent found this excuse to seize the opportunity to collect money, but his pockets were really empty. Where could he find any money?
The extra money was given to this greedy businessman. So Jian Shuo secretly contacted a Qiang leader and asked him to lead the Qiang people to attack. After killing the businessman, Jian Shuo also led everyone to defect to the famous Li
Enjoy.
The territory Li Xiang promised to these military households under the former Western Qiang captain was Deyang County, which made Jian Shuo and even all the military households extremely grateful.
No one wants to be a military camper in the ravines over Wenshan Mountain, dealing with those Qiang people with disheveled hair, fur, and a stinky smell every day.
According to the discussion between Jian Shuo and several leaders, regardless of whether Li Xiang and others can succeed, he himself and other military garrison households will occupy Deyang first. In this way, the imperial court will be powerful in the future, and then they will surrender.
In the imperial court, Li Xiang was in great power, so he continued to follow Li Xiang. But in any case, after the existing facts were established, it would not be justified for anyone to move people like him to Wenshan.
Huo Yan, who was born in a military camp, received training from his family and even from the Xiyi Schoolmaster's Mansion since he was a child. His grandfather was a steward of the Xiyi Schoolmaster's Mansion and an eighth-grade monk, which made him
The family also occupies several acres of spiritual land. Huo Yan was born with three spiritual veins, and his body was far better than ordinary people. He has been favored by his family since he was a child. And he has lived up to expectations, and his cultivation has already surpassed others.
It's just that they are military garrison households and cannot go to the prefectures and counties for evaluation. If there are no accidents, no matter how high his cultivation level is, Huo Yan will spend his whole life guarding the place where the garrison is located, guarding this land for the Jin Dynasty.
In their place, they rode horses to hunt, and even fought with the Qiang people. Of course, they often ignored them and it was commonplace. It can be said that Huo Yan grew up fighting, and his combat experience was extremely rich. Jian Shuo was assigned this time
He came with two thousand soldiers to destroy Zhou Xing.
They were all military residents back then and were very familiar with each other. During the battle between the refugees and Xin Ran, Li Xiang was so impressed by their combat effectiveness that he kept saying that they were worthy of being a military camp of the imperial court. As expected,
Extraordinary bravery.
In their understanding before they came, this volunteer army, with less than 500 people, could be captured by a single charge.
Valley lizard
They all grew up on the edge of a knife and have been in the war for a long time, while the other party was just recruited. In fact, according to most of them, only three to five hundred people can kill the other party, but
Just to be on the safe side, we recruited two thousand people.
Fighting requires courage!
In Huo Yan's understanding, fighting and fighting are all the same. Being brave and courageous is the only way to win.
On the battlefield, cowards die the fastest. This is a saying that Huo Yan and his fellow military students have been talking about since they were young. In their place, the older girls like the most brave young men. Huo Yan himself
Youben relied on his strong cultivation and fearless spirit to make many people his age willing to accept him as their boss. He himself couldn't remember how many girls he had slept with there. There were some from the military camp.
, there were business travelers, people from non-military villages, even the eldest Qiang girls, Huo Yan often went there.
The stronger your momentum is, the weaker your opponent will be.
Huo Yan fought like this with the Qiang people in the past. He led a group of people to put on armor and charge, and the fight between the two sides was nothing more than a competition of numbers and courage.
But now, looking at the opponent's rows of Zhangba spears that were pointing straight into the sky like a forest and still reflecting light in the sun, Huo Yan knew that he had encountered a formidable opponent.
As a son who has been in the army for several generations, he has known the importance of formations since he was a child. However, he has rarely encountered such a neat formation, which is like a hedgehog and makes people unable to start.
"If I charge forward, if the opponent's spear stabs me so neatly, how can I resist it?" Huo Yan was thinking about this problem while riding on a horse. Although it was already cold winter, a thin layer of fine blood immediately oozed out from his forehead.
sweat.
He turned to look at his friends beside him, and the look in their eyes was almost the same as his.
Worry, wariness, even fear!
Veterans who have fought many battles are beginning to feel fear even before they charge!
"Stop moving forward!" Huo Yan finally made up his mind and shouted loudly. These people grew up with him, and there are also relatives and friends of everyone in Guanghan City. He finally did not dare to let these people go without thinking of a solution.
Jingzhuang just hit the opponent's spear like a forest.
Seeing that the opponent was pressing forward menacingly, but now stopped within charging distance, Gongsun Shu on the horse smiled coldly. The damage done to the opponent by his own arrows was really limited at this distance, Gongsun Shu did not hesitate,
Just watch him say: "Hand the flag, advance fifty steps." Immediately, a knight next to him blew the whistle hanging around his neck with all his strength, then raised his hands high and waved the red flag in his hand several times.
Immediately, a neat whistle sounded from the first battalion. It was the whistle that Zhou Xing specially asked skilled craftsmen to make out of wood. Next, the square formation of the first battalion was like a whole, marching in neat steps, holding hands
With a spear, he walked towards the opponent step by step unhurriedly.
At this moment, not only Huo Yan and others were moved, but also the expressions of everyone on the city wall changed.
Thousands of people are one!
Viewed from a high place, the phalanx did not change at all during its march, as if a huge square had been moved. As far as the eye could see, there were only rows of cold-glowing metal gun heads pointing proudly toward the sky.
Xin Hui's face instantly became extremely pale, and his legs began to tremble. He didn't know why he was afraid, but he found that he was not the only one, and many people on the city wall were trembling like him.
"Your Excellency," Cuan Chen looked at everyone's reaction and smiled proudly, "With such a strong army, even if there are many refugees, it is not something to be afraid of. Don't you want to go down and get a share of the pie?"
Seeing the opponent approaching step by step, the team on the refugee side made a noise. Our bows and arrows hit the opponent's rattan armor, just like scratching an itch, and could not cause any harm.
Huo Yan's heart was pounding, and he knew that if he could not let the opponent press him like this without moving, his momentum would be completely suppressed by the opponent.
Deyang, this is the place where they will live in the future.
When he thought of his old life in the ravines of Wenshan Mountain and then looked at the conditions here in Deyang, Huo Yan's heart became excited again.
"Brothers," Huo Yan immediately shouted loudly as soon as he thought about this, "Do you still want to go back to Wenshan?"
"I don't want to!" There were only a few sparse responses.
Huo Yan didn't take it seriously and continued to speak loudly: "Li Zhendong promised us Deyang County. The land here is fertile, far away from the Qiang people, and it is the center of the Shu plain. Think about our past life, think about what's behind us
Family. Without sacrifice, there is no gain. Today, as long as we defeat the team in front of us, Deyang will be ours."
Huo Yan's words immediately aroused the response of many people. Many people in the formation began to shout loudly and even whistled, and the momentum that had just been suppressed was swept away.
"We are good soldiers in the army and invincible warriors. For our Deyang, let's charge!"
After Huo Yan said these words, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward. His target was very simple, not the phalanx with a forest of spears, but the few people behind the phalanx who looked like they were in command.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Qiao Feng looked at the opponent running towards him with various weapons in hand. His resolute and rock-like face did not change at all, and he shouted loudly: "Stop!"
As his order sounded, the entire phalanx made a "stepping" sound, and then stood neatly and still.
"Spear raised!"
There were forty people in one row of their square formation, and twelve rows in front and back, a total of 480 people. Following Qiao Feng's order, the soldiers in the first and second rows immediately changed their spears from pointing straight into the sky to
Lift it straight forward, with the two rows crossing each other, leaving no gap at all in front.
"prick!"
Seeing the opponent charging into the attack range of the spear with a ferocious look, Qiao Feng shouted again. Standing in the first row, he was also holding a spear. First, he leaned back slightly, crossed his legs back and forth, his front legs were slightly bent, and his hind legs were slightly bent.
Completed almost ninety degrees. Immediately after exerting force on the waist, legs and abdomen, the whole body tilted from backward to forward, and the Zhangba spear in his hand stabbed towards the belly of the person in front like lightning. Although the person was wearing a full body
It was a leather armor, but Qiao Feng believed that if he speared it, the leather armor would be easily pierced by him.
The person Qiao Feng stabbed was extremely majestic. He held a wooden round shield covered with a layer of iron in one hand and a short spear about one foot long in the other.
