The low, deep drum sound of gathering troops suddenly sounded, shaking the sky above Liaodong City.
Yuchi Baolin, who was leading the charge, heard the sound of drums coming from the direction of the barracks. Goguryeo reacted, and suddenly his heart tightened. He looked back at Yuchi Baoqi who was following him and shouted: "The enemy has gathered troops and charged with a thousand people."
Formation, I will lead people to suppress the formation, quickly!"
"Understood!" Yuchi Baoqi responded knowingly, looked at the five captains following behind him and shouted: "Follow me, speed up the charge!"
"Follow the order and drive!" the five people shouted in unison.
Five captains, each with 200 men under his command, totaled a thousand people. When the soldiers saw the captain's acceleration gesture, they drew their swords one by one and slapped them on the back. Suddenly, a thousand people surged forward like a flood.
Go and rush straight to the Goguryeo camp.
The task of the Forbidden Army is the grain depot. The grain depot is in the camp and the garrison must be cleared first.
There are at least over 10,000 troops stationed in the camp, so there is no chance of a sudden attack. However, the war drums of gathering troops sounded, and the enemy responded faster than expected. Just because the city gate was blocked by the defenders for interrogation, the delay was too long. When the two armies meet, the brave one wins!
Yuchi Baoqi rushed over with a thousand men. He had some memories of the last time he came to burn food, and he had carefully studied the map. Now he was guided by the drums of gathering troops, so he could not go wrong.
Soon, a thousand people rushed to the gate of the camp, and a group of enemy soldiers guarding the gate rushed to block it. Yuchi Baoqi straightened his horse, lowered his body, and rushed over. Then he stabbed one person through with all his strength. With a flick of his arm, the body was revealed.
After knocking down an enemy, the war horse rushed forward fiercely, creating a gap.
Yuchi Baoqi rushed into the door through the gap, swept away several enemy soldiers who tried to close the door, and roared: "Anyone who can't block it will die, brothers, kill--"
"kill!"
A thousand soldiers roared in unison, with murderous intent rising to the sky. All the enemy troops at the gate were submerged under their iron cavalry. They continued to charge with unstoppable momentum. Yuchi Baoqi took the lead. With his sharp eyes, he saw thousands of enemies gathered on the school field not far away.
Once an army takes action, it is difficult to stop it.
At the critical moment of life and death, Yuchi Baoqi was so courageous that he turned his horse's head without any fear and rushed towards the enemy's position. The five lieutenants following behind him saw Yuchi Baoqi's fierceness and their blood boiled with excitement. They pulled the horse's head one after another.
Following closely behind, other officers and soldiers were not to be outdone.
In an instant, a thousand people formed an attack formation, stabbing at the enemy formation like sharp swords.
Yuchi Baoqi's eyes became fanatical, staring straight ahead, like a wolf king leading a charge.
The best way to charge in a cluster is not to spread out and dodge, otherwise you will become a lamb trampled by the cavalry. How can two legs outrun the horse? Instead, form a thick square formation, build a wall with flesh and blood, and risk your life.
Go block it.
However, when the enemy defender saw Yuchi Baoqi coming straight towards him, he immediately panicked and ran away. The other generals who were preparing for a bloody battle were a little confused when they saw this scene, and their fighting spirit instantly dropped by more than half. One general stood firm
Scalp roared: "Don't run around, stay in formation, kill!"
The officers and soldiers drew their swords one after another, their eyes full of panic. Without restraint weapons, how could their flesh and blood bodies withstand the collision of thousands of cavalry?
In an instant, Yuchi Baoqi rushed up on his horse. With the help of his horse's power, the horse came out of the cave like a dragon, and headed straight for an enemy general with a roar that rent the air.
This enemy general was quite fierce, slashing with his sword.
"when--"
There was a crisp sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the violent force impacted. The general was shocked and stepped back. His face was as pale as a piece of paper. He held a breath in his heart. Before he could recover, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down.
, his heart was pierced by a horse spear, blood surged wildly, his vision suddenly went dark, and he lost consciousness.
Yuchi Baoqi's arm shook, and the horse with the corpse hit the enemy crowd hard, knocking down a large area, and the general's corpse also rolled out.
"kill--"
With a long roar, Yuchi Baoqi slammed into the enemy group like a god of war.
Soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers!
Seeing how fierce Yuchi Baoqi was, a thousand soldiers were beaten to death. They followed closely behind Yuchi Baoqi, stabbing into the enemy formation like a sharp knife. The horses collided with each other, how terrible it was. In an instant, countless people were killed.
He was knocked upside down and sent flying, and screams came one after another.
The sword's light was fierce and blood splattered, just like Shura Hell.
Yuchi Baoqi was covered in blood from the killing, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. The essence of cavalry is speed and charge. Once he stops, he is a living target.
The horse is like a divine dragon that rolls over the river. Sometimes it cuts through the enemy's throat, but it pierces the enemy's body. Sometimes it sweeps and knocks down a large area. No one can stop it. The war horse neighs, charges hard, its front hooves fly, and constantly tramples on those who stand in front of it. It's really
It can be said that people take advantage of the horse's power, and the horse helps people.
At this time, Yuchi Baolin rushed into the camp with a thousand other people. Looking at this scene, he shouted: "Dismount, form a crossbow attack formation."
The enemy's formation has been smashed into pieces, and going up there will be of little use. Once other enemies come to attack, two thousand people will be surrounded, which is not advisable.
The soldiers didn't know why, but the military orders were overwhelming, and no one dared to disobey them. They stopped one after another, got off their horses, and quickly rushed to the front with their crossbows according to their usual training to assemble.
While waiting for the assembly, Yuchi Baolin stared closely at his younger brother who was rushing into the battle. He was full of worry, but did not show it. He saw more enemies rushing out of the camp and forming a siege. The archers also began to gather. Once the assembly was completed,
, the consequences were very serious. I quickly looked back and saw that the army had not yet completed its assembly.
Time is tight and every moment is extremely precious.
Yuchi Baolin didn't want to wait any longer and shouted: "Come with me -"
As he spoke, he rushed towards the direction where the archers were gathering. The soldiers didn't bother to form a formation and hurried to follow. The formation became even more chaotic, like a swarm of swarms. Yuchi Baolin couldn't care less and rushed forward immediately.
The enemy archers were also panicked and did not bother to form a formation. They opened their bows and set arrows one after another. Countless arrows flew over and landed among the running soldiers. Some people fell down after being hit by arrows and started wailing. But at the critical moment of life and death, other soldiers did not care.
Get medical treatment and keep rushing forward. If you don't rush, you will die faster.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the team rushed to the shooting range of the repeating crossbow. Yuchi Baolin shouted: "Free fire, kill!"
The soldiers couldn't wait any longer. After hearing the order, they picked up their repeating crossbows one after another and fired without taking aim. The arrows flew away one after another with almost negligible pauses, forming a dense and deadly net invisibly.
, and the enemy archers were overwhelmingly shrouded in the sky.
The dense rain of arrows was like a violent tornado, bringing down a large area in an instant with sweeping momentum. Before the enemy had time to react, more arrows came one after another, in an endless stream.
In an instant, the enemy archers became lambs to be slaughtered, wailing under the terrifying rate of fire of the crossbows, unable to fight back.
After more than ten rounds of shooting, more than 10,000 arrows covered the position of the enemy archers, leaving no one alive.
Without the threat of archers, Yuchi Baolin felt reassured. He looked at a group of enemy troops trying to rush to rescue him, pointed his hand and shouted: "Get ready to shoot!"
The enemies who rushed to rescue did not expect that the archers would be wiped out so quickly. When they saw the repeating crossbow aiming at them, they were all frightened and retreated one after another.
Yuchi Baolin did not pursue immediately, but shouted: "Get into attack formation!"
The soldiers quickly assembled according to their usual training. Just now they were worried that the archers would have to charge temporarily, but now there was a rare opportunity and they could not be missed.
In the enemy formation, Yuchi Baoqi led his troops to kill each other and rushed out. His horse speed did not slow down and he continued to rush forward, running out of an arc. When he saw that the enemy formation was in a mess and there was no threat, Yuchi Baoqi was so bold.
Excitedly, Ma Shan pointed in the distance and shouted: "Brothers, have you seen, what are they? They are silver, always one, rush over with me, pick up the silver, kill -"
"kill--"
Everyone thought about the silver reward, their eyes shone, their fatigue was swept away, and they continued to rush forward.
Yuchi Baolin was a little envious when he saw his younger brother going crazy. He should have changed his mind if he had known this. He led his troops into the battle and shouted, unwilling to be outdone: "Brothers, are you willing to let them rob you of all your money? Hurry up!
.”
"Quick, assemble quickly!" the captain shouted an order to restrain the troops.
Soon, the team formed two rows, with 500 people in each row, about two meters apart from the front and back, and about one meter apart from the left and right, forming an interception net. Yuchi Baolin shouted: "First row, attack freely! Second row, prepare!"
"Boohoo!"
The repeating crossbows sounded again and fired towards the disrupted enemy formation. Although there were only 500 people taking action, the firing rate was fast, one after another, airtight, and the power was still terrifying, instantly clearing a large vacuum area in front of them.
The enemy troops became more and more panicked and rushed toward the barracks. However, they were intercepted by Yuchi Baoqi, who charged and killed them. The ground was once again covered with corpses and countless wailing wounded soldiers.
Yuchi Baoqi screamed with joy and wanted to charge again. Yuchi Baolin calmed down and shouted loudly: "Second brother, quickly return to the team and form a formation!"
"Understood!" Yuchi Baoqi respected his brother very much, so he quickly led his people to rush over, went around behind the repeating crossbow formation, dismounted, took down the repeating crossbows and rushed forward.
"Liancheng Pai, hurry up!" Yuchi Baolin shouted.
Yuchi Baoqi didn't know why, but he did not hinder the execution of the order. He quickly directed the team to rush to the other end, and formed two rows, merging together to form a formation that was one thousand meters long and two meters wide. It looked a little thin, but if it was a bow and arrow
With hands, such a formation can be broken with a single charge, but the repeating crossbow is different.
When Yuchi Baolin saw that the formation was assembled, he shouted: "Slowly move forward and crush!"
"Understood, move forward slowly, crush!" Yuchi Baoqi shouted, passing the order to his own people.
Two thousand people moved forward slowly, like mountains and waves, each holding a repeating crossbow in their hands, their eyes sharp and indifferent, staring straight ahead, and crushing them like a net.
One thousand meters, almost no dead ends!
Again, in the camp, the enemy troops had no way to escape. They were crowded together and became living targets. At this scene, they all panicked. They left corpses on the ground and retreated. They hid in the barracks and relied on the terrain to prepare for a counterattack.
But without the archers, such a counterattack would be meaningless under the continuous crossbow. Yuchi Baolin was very glad that he had just risked his life to kill the enemy archers. Although he had sacrificed a lot, it was worth it. His face was as cold as frost and his steps were steady. When he got close to the barracks,
shouted: "One row, free fire!"
"First row, free fire!" Yuchi Baoqi also shouted.
The soldiers in the first row took action as they walked, shooting the enemies they could see. The enemies who were hiding outside were so frightened that they rushed into the room. Everyone easily reached the barracks, and a large group of people suddenly rushed out, as if they were panicking.
The beast fought back on the verge of death, with a certain kind of madness that saw no hope.
"Certainly!"
Yuchi Baolin roared loudly without any fear.
The team's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and they all raised their crossbows to target the charging enemies.
Yuchi Baolin continued to shout: "First row, squat, slow down the crossbow box, second row, shoot freely, kill them all!"
For a moment, the arrows rushed forward like countless venomous snakes, like locusts crossing the border.
"Ahhhh——"
Screams rang out one after another, and people fell down one after another, with blood flowing into rivers.
In front of Lian Nu, this kind of unobstructed charge is courting death.
The enemy charged hard enough, but the arrows were even harder.
Soon, the second row of crossbow boxes was empty. Yuchi Baolin gave an order, and the first row stood up and took over the shooting, ensuring continuous firepower and suppressing the enemy troops who were rushing up crazily, forming a line of death that could not be crossed even by sleeping.
On this line, corpses pile up like mountains!
Gradually, the enemy troops were demoralized and demoralized by the killings. They lost their previous madness and no one knew who shouted "surrender". Immediately, many people followed, crawling on the ground and not daring to move.
People have a herd mentality. They can charge madly together and surrender together.
Soon, a large number of people were lying on the ground shivering, throwing away their weapons and holding their heads in their hands.
However, Yuchi Baolin did not give an order to stop the attack, and the soldiers continued to shoot. Yuchi Baoqi did not understand why his brother did this, but he did not question it in public. There was only one voice on the battlefield, and no order was given to stop.
Soon, all the enemies who gave up resistance were killed.
Yuchi Baolin gave an order, and the team continued to move forward. He sent four teams to kick down the door and check each room, while the others covered and held down the formation, ready to provide support at any time.
The enemies who dared to risk their lives had just launched a crazy charge and were all wiped out. The remaining enemies hiding in the barracks were trembling with fear and lacked the courage to resist. The door was kicked open and a burst of arrows came, killing them all.
Half an hour later, the entire camp was cleared. Yuchi Baolin dispatched a thousand people to guard the entrance of the camp, while the remaining one thousand people continued to search for remnants, clean the battlefield, and count supplies.
The team started moving again, like a well-coordinated machine.
Yuchi Baoqi took the time to find Yuchi Baolin, signaled him aside and whispered: "Why didn't you accept the prisoners just now? If the news spread, it might be detrimental to us brothers."
"If you accept prisoners, it will be detrimental to Brother Qin. Brother Qin is benevolent and treats us as brothers. We can't be conscienceless." Yuchi Baolin said in a low voice.
"Why?" Yuchi Baoqi was a little surprised.
Yuchi Baolin saw that his brother really didn't understand, so he looked around and explained in a low voice: "Keeping them will waste a lot of snacks, and also waste precious medicines for treatment. Leaving people to guard them, our army is short of food, medicine, and more.
How can we give precious resources to the enemy when we are short of troops? If we don’t kill, Brother Qin will find excuses to kill, and then it will be Brother Qin who will be blamed by the court."
"It makes sense, we two brothers have taken the blame." Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized.
"You may not have noticed that Brother Qin is eager to have an excuse to kill prisoners."
"Why?" Yuchi Baoqi was confused again.
Yuchi Baolin reminded him with hatred: "Because Brother Qin's contribution this time was too great, his achievements were so great that he could not be rewarded, so Brother Qin began to defile himself. Mercenaries were against the rules of the court, but Brother Qin did not ask for them."
Our opinion, established directly, is to shoulder the responsibility and not involve us."
"Since it was self-destruction, why didn't you give the opportunity to kill the prisoners to the Qin brothers?" Yuchi Baoqi asked in return.
"You and I will kill you as soon as we are on the battlefield. When the time comes, we will kill red eyes and push them clean. It will have no impact. The general cannot be killed afterwards. It is not sewage, but a disaster. It will be an ominous sign. Brother Qin can defile himself.
, but you must not use the method of killing prisoners."
Yuchi Baoqi suddenly understood and nodded solemnly.
"Don't talk nonsense about this, otherwise don't talk to me. Dad can pull out your skin and stay here to guard the camp. There is no room for failure. I'll go find Brother Qin to check on the situation." Yuchi Baolin reminded him and turned around in a hurry.
went.
"Don't worry, I understand!" Yuchi Baoqi solemnly promised.
Yuchi Baolin led dozens of personal guards out of the camp and walked hurriedly. Suddenly he saw a group of fighting in front of him. Luo Zhang was tightly entangled by a general. The two were fighting equally, and the mercenary and an enemy
The troops were also fighting together, and it was difficult to tell who was superior. Suddenly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he quickly looked back at the guard captain: "Lead people to attack from the outside."
"General, the bodyguard must be with you." The captain became anxious.
"Fart, obey the order!"
Yuchi Baolin scolded angrily, rushed forward on horseback, and shouted: "Luo Zhang, I'm here to help you."
"No, go take over the command." Luo Zhang roared, he rose up bravely, and stabbed three times with his spear. Three spear flowers suddenly appeared in the void, scaring the enemy general to the point where he quickly leaned back to avoid it.
Yuchi Baolin saw that Luo Zhang could handle it. On the other hand, the mercenaries were trying their best to support. If it were not for the street, the enemy's strength could not be used, and the group would have been destroyed long ago. He rushed forward and swept a large area with his horse.
"Herod!"
The war horse neighed, trampled on the enemy, and rushed forward. Yuchi Baolin spun his horse, knocked an enemy general off his horse, and shouted: "Follow me, charge and kill!"
The mercenaries lacked generals and unified command, so they could not display their combat effectiveness. With the addition of the powerful Yuchi Baolin, the situation changed instantly. Dozens of Yuchi Baolin's personal guards also rushed up, shooting and covering the attack from a distance.
Finally the situation was suppressed.
Seeing that the situation had turned, Luo Zhang let go and concentrated on fighting the enemy general. His marksmanship suddenly changed and he took a few moves to show weakness. He looked like he was exhausted. Seeing that the enemy general was pressing forward, his moves became more and more urgent.
, ran as fast as he could, but his concentration was highly concentrated.
Hearing the enemy general chasing him and the sound of the sky breaking behind his head, Luo Zhang suddenly crouched down to avoid the fatal blow that beheaded him. He turned around and looked at the moon. Ma Shan turned into a bolt of lightning and stabbed the opponent fiercely in the waist.
Luo family, come back!
"die!"
Luo Zhang shouted loudly, picked up the enemy general, pushed his hand hard, and the horse's penis went in a lot deeper. Then he swung it hard and smashed the enemy general into the group of fighting enemies. He shouted: "
The enemy general is dead, kill him for me——"
"Kill!" the mercenary shouted excitedly.
When the enemy troops saw the general's corpse, they were immediately frightened, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they retreated one after another.
Yuchi Baolin was worried that Luo Zhang would order the enemy to surrender, so he yelled: "Kill them, it's all money!"
The mercenaries became even more excited when they heard "silver". Why did they surrender to the army and risk their lives? Thinking of the silver reward they received last time, they became crazy in an instant.
"Kill them all!"
"It's all silver!"
"Kill--"
For a moment, there were loud shouts of killing, and the sky was full of murderous intent.
Luo Zhang had no intention of organizing. He rushed up and joined Yuchi Baolin on the left and right. The two men and the two horse poles were like deadly scythes, constantly harvesting the enemy troops. Seeing the ferociousness of the two men, the mercenaries became more and more fanatical and followed the group.
A massive killing spree, the morale is like a rainbow, the battle instantly becomes one-sided, and they are crushed.
Soon, another mercenary rushed over to help, attacking from both sides. The enemy's morale plummeted instantly, and both sides fled. The mercenaries gained momentum and became red-eyed, and chased after them. In everyone's eyes,
Each one is worth a piece of silver and cannot be run away.
Not long after, another mercenary army came to help, surrounded them on all sides, and killed all the enemy troops.
Yuchi Baolin breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted to Luo Zhang: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you for your help."
"There is no need to be polite between us. What happened just now?" Yuchi Baolin asked.
"I don't know. Suddenly an army of 5,000 people appeared and happened to bump into it. The leading general was very skilled in martial arts and entangled me. As a result, there was no one to command the army. Fortunately, you arrived in time." Luo Zhang explained.
Yuchi Baolin thought for a moment and said: "Is it the troops who came out to change defenses? There are about 20,000 troops in Liaodong City, and only about 10,000 were found in the camp just now. There are four city gates, and there are more than 1,000 defenders at each gate. In total,
About five thousand, exactly five thousand less."
"It's really possible to say that. No matter what, they have been killed anyway. You can go and do your work. I will continue to patrol the city." Luo Zhang clasped his fists and commanded the troops.
Just as Yuchi Baolin was leaving, he saw a cavalry running up the street in front of him, under the banner of the Yulin Guards. Only a general could carry such a banner. It was obvious that Qin Huaidao was coming, so he quickly rode up to meet them.
When he got closer, he saw Qin Huaidao in the army, and he quickly shouted: "General!"
When the Yulin guards saw someone coming, they all raised their crossbows. When they heard the shouts, they put them down. Qin Huaidao signaled the team to stop, stepped forward and asked: "Why are you here? The camp was captured?"
"We captured it successfully and came to report to you. We happened to encounter a bloody battle with mercenaries, so we took action."
Qin Huaidao also came to support after hearing the news that Luo Zhang was attacked by a large-scale enemy force. He asked with a worried look: "Is Luo Zhang okay?"
"He's fine. He killed a general. It looks like his force is good. I'm afraid he has a lot of background. He's cleaning up the battlefield." Yuchi Baolin said quickly.
"Let's go and take a look!" Qin Huaidao felt relieved and rode forward.
The group moved forward and soon came to the battlefield. Luo Zhang came up to greet him, cupped his fists and saluted: "General."
"Nothing hurt, right?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"It's okay, it's just that the loss was a bit big." Luo Zhang said depressedly.
"Keep a good count of the casualties and report them later. Be sure to verify more to make sure nothing goes wrong." Qin Huaidao warned, looking at the corpses on the ground in front of him, and asked: "You killed a general, what is his identity?"
"The language barrier prevents interrogation, but a token was found from the other party." Luo Zhang said, taking out a token and handing it over.
Qin Huaidao took it and took a look. It was carved from high-quality mutton-fat jade. There was the word "王" on the front and the word "True" on the back. He thought in his heart, he couldn't be a Goguryeo prince, right? Then Luo Zhang's contribution would be great.
, maybe it can be put to good use, and he quickly said: "Find someone to translate and verify your identity."
"Follow the order!" Luo Zhang clasped his fists and hurried away.
