Chapter 1 Thunder (Part 1) Nangong City is not far away. Before most of the minions got down from exhaustion, the green city walls came into view. This tiny city has almost no chance of the coming disaster.
Be on guard, no county soldiers appeared on the city, and no alarm sounded in the sky and earth. The panic-stricken people even forgot to close the city gate, leaving it open on all four sides, like a black mouth!
"What a strong wind!" Zhang Jincheng's two sons, Zhang Cai and Zhang Bao, shouted, scrambling to be the first to lead the charge. "Father, please rest, I will go to the front to clear the way for you!" "Get out, it's your turn this time!"
I've had enough of it, and you were the one who took the first bite last time!" The two brothers didn't want to give in, and their horses' heads were tied together. As soon as Zhang Jincheng gave the order, they had to test the strength of their mounts first.
Bandits have bandits' rules. After the city is broken, the first person to enter the city and his troops can share one-tenth of the property in the city. All the beautiful women in the city are also selected first by this group of "indispensable" guys. Therefore,
When encountering a fat sheep that has no resistance, the Zhang brothers did not hesitate to show their courage
"Kill!" "Kill in and leave no one behind!" The minions, big and small, forgot about the exhaustion of the rapid march and shouted with all kinds of weapons. The city in front of them was like a woman who had been stripped naked. There was no trace of anything at all.
The eyes of everyone who fought back penetrated the dilapidated city wall, as if they had already seen the steaming food, the dazzling gold and silver, and the blood, which made people feel excited and stimulating.
However, Zhang Jincheng's performance was very disappointing to the group of thieves. As if he was suddenly stung by a bee, his eyebrows were tightly knitted into knots and his triangular eyes were narrowed at the same time. "Everyone, immediately
Arrange the formation according to what I usually teach you. The whole team is Zhang Cai. You lead the cavalry to Zhang Bao on the left wing. You lead the cavalry to protect Zhang Jinli on the right wing. You lead the shield bearers to protect the center army. Don't panic, everyone. Turn back and let's stride forward.
Fall back!"
"Master, what are you talking about?" Several other leaders could not accept such an order and jumped up to protest. After two days and one night in the wind and snow, everyone finally arrived at Nangong City and left without even grabbing a handful of chicken feathers.
, where will you put your face in front of fellow Jianghu people after you return?
"Change the formation, order everyone to retreat!" Zhang Jin said that he didn't have time to explain to the idiots under his command, and shouted angrily. Subduing his usual coercion, the ordering soldiers hurriedly grabbed a horn and blew it hard.
"Woo-wu-wu-wu-wu!" The disappointing horn sound spread from the central army to the two wings. Along with this, the two brothers Zhang Bao shouted, "Change the formation, change the formation, the rear army becomes the front army."
, the front army turns into the rear army and retreats slowly, don’t panic, retreat!”
Zhang Wang and the others could not understand what had happened, which actually caused the boss to give up the meat that was about to be delivered to his mouth. Could it be that the other party had been prepared for it? So what if he was prepared? Could this tiny little town still be hiding heavenly soldiers and generals?
"Louder, you haven't eaten yet!" Zhang Jin said that when he saw his team's slow movements, he was so angry that he whipped the orderer, "Woo--Woo--Woo!" This time, the horn sound was loud and powerful.
There were many more and more organized minions, but the sound was not coming from the hands of the messengers. When they heard the sound, they looked up and saw a red battle flag raised high in the open city gate.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo!" Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be hundreds of horns echoing in the east and west of the city. On the backs and wings of the thieves, countless red flags were like plum blossoms in the wind and snow.
The blooming ground was shaking, the city walls were shaking, and the red clouds above seemed to be shaking too. A shuddering feeling surged up from under their feet, instantly spreading throughout the bodies of the minions. They were so frightened that their legs became weak, and their faces turned pale.
Frost is even paler
"Officers!" Zhang Bao heard his voice that had changed. He didn't know whether he should be thankful or cursed that the opportunity to perform meritorious service had come. The number of enemies was enough for him to "enjoy". Tens of thousands of cavalry broke through the snow curtain.
, sweeping in from all directions
"Don't panic, don't panic, unite the team, unite the team! Arrange on the spot!" Zhang Jin said he was also a little panicked, shouting at the top of his lungs that a two-legged man could not outrun a four-legged horse. In this situation, he could only
Let's hold on for a while first, to dampen the morale of the officers and soldiers before making plans. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of brothers may be wiped out today!
The minions were panic-stricken and could not listen to the commander's command. The murderous intent on the officers and soldiers was too heavy. It was heavier than any other team they had ever seen. Except for the sound of horns and the sound of horse hooves, the other party made almost no other noises. But it was
This makes them look even more terrifying. Like floods and mountain peaks, they are pressing over and over again, causing the thieves' legs to tremble and their bodies to sway like willow leaves in the wind.
"What are you afraid of, bird? There is a big scar on the head after falling off." At the critical moment, several small leaders stabilized the morale of the army for Zhang Jincheng, "Let's kill one to make enough money, kill two to earn one, form an array, form an array,
Everyone, come shoulder to shoulder!" The old team members who have followed Zhang Jincheng for many years shouted at the top of their voices, shrilly and decisively.
"Hezi, Bingjianzi is still so big after twenty years, and he is popular and drinks spicy food!"
"Steal their horses, enter the city, rob all the women in the city, chop off the men's heads and use them as chamber pots!" Madness and courage go hand in hand. The bandits shouted, pushed each other, and slowly recovered in the face of the disaster.
The more than 40,000 calm people curled up tightly into a group, with Zhang Jin as the core, the shield bearers outside, the archers in the middle, and the spearmen, if the wooden sticks in their hands can also be called spears, stood
Between the shield bearer and the archer, he put the sharpened spear edge on the shoulder of his companion and pointed it at the incoming enemy. This was a hedgehog array that could disable the cavalry attack. When fighting against soldiers from various places, Zhang Jin said
Have used it and created victory
"Blow the drums, draw the bows!" Zhang Jin said seeing his team slowly stabilizing, he reached out and pulled off the leather helmet with two fox tails hanging on it, and shouted an order.
The low drum beat immediately sounded around him, and several young men among the bandits waved their drum hammers vigorously, spreading the blood- boiling rhythm throughout the army.
"Luo Mian's back crotch" was echoed by a voice, the voice full of anger and despair.
"The long branches invade half the sky, and the wheel-knife shines in the sun. I go up the mountain to eat deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly I hear the officers and soldiers are coming. I raise the knife and swing forward. It's like dying in Liaodong. What's the harm in beheading!" Thousands of people sang in unison, unexpectedly
Overcoming the momentum of thousands of galloping horses, the red-eyed bandits raised their knives, straightened their bodies, and felt peaceful.
Then, the sound of fluttering arrows suddenly exploded, becoming the main theme on the battlefield. The bandits fought with anger. The arrows were as chaotic as locusts. The cavalry fired back with their bows. The arrows were as fast as a heavy rain. No one flinched. The officers and soldiers were very brave.
The group of thieves also has their own honorary drums, wind, horse hoofbeats, and horn sounds, which are intertwined together and are as sweet as a song to the two sides fighting between life and death.
"Accelerate, accelerate, don't aim, don't stop, don't get entangled with them!" Li Xu was protected by more than a dozen soldiers and led thousands of riders to run past the hedgehog formation. The border troops had not fully adapted to his command style.
The running tactics were unable to exert their maximum power, but they were more than enough to deal with the thinly armored bandits. The galloping cavalry smashed their bows and arrows into the crowd as hard as they could, and then turned away the horses' heads. They did not step directly on the formation with their horses' hooves, but circled around.
Drive, soar far away, passing by your own people who are coming from different directions, then turn around again, regroup outside the range of the enemy's arrows, and launch another round of attack
The poorly trained archery skills of the bandits were difficult to cause heavy casualties to the cavalry. Most of the arrows fired from the hedgehog formation were left behind by the high-speed horses. Only dozens of them hit by chance, but failed to cause any serious damage.
With the shooting effect, once blocked by the armor, the horse speed immediately lost its strength. The injured officers and soldiers did not make any stops and followed the brigade into the distance.
Zhang Jincheng's eyes widened roundly. He couldn't believe what he saw. Tens of thousands of cavalry were circling his circular formation. Each of his brothers fired at least five arrows, but he almost didn't.
He saw that someone on the other side had fallen off his horse, and not far from him, several young men playing drums had fallen. Blood was flowing all over the carriage with cowhide drums, and white mist was rising, like a soul unwilling to disperse.
This was a tactic that Zhang Jincheng had never seen before. It was so cruel and strange that it only took two rounds. There were already countless gaps in the rock-solid circular formation, but the enemy did not want to break through the gaps. They had not yet gone through enough to massacre one side.
The addictive wind breaks away like the wind, turns back like the wind, and repeats itself in a continuous cycle. Every round, at least hundreds of minions are knocked down, and every round is like a hammer destroying the morale of the minions.
"Raise the shield, raise the shield over the archers, and the archers aim at the horses and shoot!" Zhang Jin said that he was not sure whether his response method was appropriate, but this was almost the only way he could come up with. If a large number of horses fell to the ground, the enemy would
The army's attack rhythm will be disrupted, and the minions will have the opportunity to fight back. Unfortunately, this is just his wishful dream. The feather arrows shot at the horses are thrown away by the opponent's high-speed movement just like those shot at people.
The arm holding the bow has begun to tremble, and less than a hundred enemy troops have fallen from their horses.
Zhang Jin said that he knew who his opponent was. This was a very resounding name. Legend has it that this man had gone through hundreds of battles, but had never been defeated once. He slowly reached out to the horizontal sword at his waist, with a smile on his face.
