Chapter 2 Betrayal (No. 5 Middle School) The drum beat loudly. It was not as high-pitched as the war drum played by Wang Bo, but it was better than the regular and scattered low and slow, like an ice spring flowing under the winter snow.
, and like the sunlight slowly coming out from behind the thick fog through the sounds of fighting in the sky, from far to near, from blur to clear, almost in an instant, making everyone above and below the city breathe.
"Who is playing the drum? Who asked him to play it!" Wang Bo stopped the drum hammer and shouted sternly that the sound of the drum was military music. He was not allowed to touch the soldiers and horses unless he was ordered by the commander-in-chief. He would never allow anyone to challenge him.
His authority did not need anyone to answer. He immediately understood that this drum definitely did not come from his own formation. These village masters and fortress masters under his command were all rough men, and they had absolutely no ability to hit such a neat and penetrating drum.
military music
The answer was about to come out. The attackers below the city forgot to continue climbing, and the defenders on the city also forgot to continue throwing rocks on the ladder. They all looked at the source of the drum sound in unison, and in unison their eyes widened, and they opened their eyes that could not be closed.
mouth
At the junction of the sky and the earth in the west, there is a cloud of dust and smoke coming with the sound of drums. The upper half is dark yellow, covering the sky and the sun. The lower half is light black. It is as neat as a surging water line with a few small strands.
The bandits who were on alert outside the battlefield were unable to escape and were instantly swallowed up by the "torrent", with barely even a single wolf flower splashing.
"Grumpy…" The sound of the drum was still like bursts of spring thunder, rolling across the ground and Wang Bo's face turned livid in an instant. He didn't understand where the enemy came from, and he arranged it on the bank of the river.
There were so many scouts around, why couldn't any of them return to the central army in time to report the news of the enemy's approach? But these are no longer important. The black line that is getting closer and closer has revealed its cold bright edge. It is not water, but three-dimensional water.
The cold light reflected by the Chi Feng
"Gather around me and fight as a whole team!" Wang Bo didn't care about the source of the enemy anymore. He grabbed the command flag from the hands of his soldiers and waved it vigorously without anyone's order. The minions near the city wall dropped the ladder and said "decisively"
The attackers on the retreating ladder lost their protection and were pushed to the ground by the defenders along with the ladder at their feet. Arrows, stones, and cheers were all thrown down from the top of the city, which made the rogues tremble with fear. They lay down at the base of the city wall regardless of
The moaning and struggling companions ran away
Not everyone ran to the position designated by Wang Bo. Except for the 20,000 Changbai troops under his command, the minions of the other cottages could not understand the complex flag orders at critical moments. They only knew how to run to their brothers.
They only know the boss of their own copycat village, and they instinctively seek help from their boss
At this time, the leaders, like the minions under their command, did not attack the main force led by Gao Shida, but attacked the harassers first? Why? The reason is really unfathomable, but now
They had no more time to think about it. Although the speed of the army's advance was not very fast, the rhythm was very steady. Just now, everyone could only see the cold light reflected from the front, but in the blink of an eye, they could already see the dark black pole.
It was as long as a forest, held by cavalry in black armor, and they slowly pushed forward two miles, half a mile, one mile to the beat of drums. At this moment, there were finally scouts on foot with five or six arrows stuck in their backs.
He ran to Wang Bo and used his last bit of strength to report to him: "Master, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, come from Xinle..." Before he could finish his words, he passed away with hatred.
The only information that is useful to Wang Bo is the direction of the enemy's crossing of the river. Xinle is on the north bank of the Sushui River, less than thirty miles away from Sui Chang. If the enemy crosses the river today, there will not be too many people who can reach the city of Sui Chang, and all of them will be there.
It was the cavalry, "Lean to the side of my military formation, don't run on two legs, but you can't run on four legs!" At the top of his voice, Wang Bo shouted to several small village owners who were preparing to evacuate the battlefield, "Come here, come here, they
There are not many people! Fight them off. Only by fighting them off can we evacuate safely!" Several of Wang Bo's trusted generals followed the leader's wishes and shouted, but there was no confidence in their voices.
"Line up! The shield bearer takes twenty steps forward!" After shouting, Wang Bo immediately gave up his expectations for the other village leaders. Whether his life or death depends on today's game, those rough guys are useless, and it is better to count on their help.
Count on yourself
The shield bearers in the Changbai Army ran forward in the direction of the enemy's arrival, and erected a shield wall twenty steps in front of their own formation. The giant shields made of common people's door panels were of different heights, and the stacked wooden walls were also uneven.
King Bo of Qi sighed softly, and issued the combat order again, "Lancers, move forward ten steps, and form a defensive formation behind your shields!"
About three thousand soldiers holding pewter poles and spears ran behind the shield wall. One end of the pewter pole, which was more than two feet and four feet long, was pierced into the ground. The other end with a sharp blade was slanted forward through the gap in the shield, and the shield was pushed forward.
The wall becomes a solid hedgehog array
The archers ran behind the spearmen, and a few crossbow archers stood behind the archers. Then came the light-armored infantry with only a single sword, the war supervisors holding short swords, and more than a thousand cavalry, standing behind Wang Bo.
The rear of the phalanx
Although the enemy troops came with cavalry, they did not intend to make a sneak attack. No matter what Wang Bo's side did, they still maintained their original speed and slowly approached Sui Chang, as if they did not see the Changbai Army who was waiting in full formation, nor the commotion.
The invincible attitude of the other bandits, who were like headless flies, was very uncomfortable and humiliating. Several groups of small-scale bandits stopped watching and tentatively formed a square formation on the two wings of the Changbai Army. Sun Xuanya
, Liu Chunsheng and Liu Chunsheng each led their own minions to the edge of the position, trying to find opportunities to sneak attack on the enemy's flanks.
The number of officers and soldiers was small. As the smoke approached, the heroes saw more and more clearly, "Only five thousand people!" Liu Chunsheng began to curl his lips. He had fought against the county soldiers who came to suppress the bandits. Five thousand cavalry, at most
Can defeat about 20,000 rebels. Today, there are more than 40,000 rebels under Suichang City. It may not be true that they are no match for the officers and soldiers.
"It should be the Boling Army under Li Zhongjian!" Unlike Liu Chunsheng, who was stunned, the closer the enemy was to him, the more frightened Wang Bo felt.
Without such heavy murderous intent, it can only be revealed by the elites of hundreds of battles. Since the death of 300,000 soldiers in Liaodong during the Sui Dynasty, this murderous intent has not been seen for many years. No one expected that it would reappear ferociously on the banks of the Jishui River today.
What is extremely incompatible with the murderous intent is the calmness shown by the team in front of you when they move. You can see the billowing smoke splashed by the horses' hooves, you can see the cold light getting brighter and brighter on the front, and you can even slowly see clearly.
The soldiers and horses were wearing black armor, but you couldn't hear the noise that the soldiers were supposed to make. They all kept their mouths tightly shut, and the horses under their crotches were as silent as the owners on their backs. There was the rumble of the horses' hooves hitting the ground, and the armor colliding.
Compared with the sonorous sound, this kind of silence is more depressing, like a huge shadow covering people's hearts, making people unable to straighten their backs, exert force, or even breathe.
"Aw, ow, oh--ah!" Some of the minions under other village leaders could not stand the increasingly depressing atmosphere on the battlefield, and began to challenge the officers and soldiers 300 steps away, waving their weapons.
They swore all kinds of dirty words and even took off their pants and exposed their dirty buttocks to the enemy. What embarrassed everyone was that the enemy did not retaliate immediately like they did when they were fighting each other. The officers and soldiers still maintained their original advancement speed.
As I walked slowly, no one spoke to me, and the rhythm of the drums did not change at all because of the shouts of the minions.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet! Suppress their momentum!" Wang Bo knew that if he continued to let the officers and soldiers show off their power, he would definitely lose today, so he immediately made the most appropriate decision, "Woo--Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo
"Woo!" The sound of the trumpet suddenly sounded from the military formation, and the blood of the Chuanyuncrack soldiers immediately became hot, as if there was a fire burning in their hearts. The enemy was very powerful, so what could he do? His head fell off and he had a big scar...
Scattered feather arrows were shot from Wang Bo's wings, aiming at the officers and soldiers 250 steps away. It was difficult to shoot accurately at this distance. Even if they hit the target, they would not be able to penetrate the opponent's armor. The officers and soldiers ignored the mid-air.
The "gnat" in the middle continued to push forward until it reached a distance of two hundred steps, and then slowly stopped.
From the beginning to the end, they didn't return any arrows. Unfortunately, some of them were hit by stray arrows, and they continued to ride on their horses with Bai Yu. The soldiers were ashamed and angry, jumping on their feet and yelling at the officers and soldiers, but they still ignored them and calmly moved into formation.
Stretching, there is a distance of about five steps between the horizontal war horses and the war horses.
"Crossbowmen, prepare--!" Wang Bo's heart suddenly lifted up in his throat. The heavy-armored cavalry would launch an attack after showing off. The crossbowmen under his command must wait 150 to 100 steps before the war horse enters.
Within the range, the crossbow arrows in hand are shot out, and then the long-range strike is carried out by the archer. Between one hundred and ten steps, the man's heart beats ten times, and a good archer can shoot three arrows.
The opponent's horse did not move forward immediately. With the sound of the horn, all the cavalrymen in the first, second and third rows made two movements at the same time. They pulled down their visors and laid their long swords flat on the backs of the horses, just as Wang Bo was being quilted.
When the excitement was burning, the continuous drumming suddenly stopped, and then like a glacier cracking and a cliff collapsing, the blaring horn suddenly sounded, penetrating the smoke and dust, tearing apart the dark clouds, and tearing away thousands of rays of sunshine from above.
Under the sun, the group of officers and soldiers moved their heavy armored cavalry to attack the front. From behind the heavy armored cavalry, they separated into two teams of light cavalry, each with about 2,000 people. They rolled towards the two wings of the bandits like a whirlwind. "Crossbowmen,
Block the shot!" Wang Bo shouted hoarsely and then watched helplessly as more than a thousand crossbow arrows flew out of the formation, shot into the air without any order, deviated from the target, and fell into the dust.
Both men and horses were wearing iron armor, and when they were about to pounce on the heavy cavalry, they only pounced forward a few feet and then immediately stopped. Their attack was just a cover to cover the four thousand light cavalry. Those light cavalry were the real killing moves.
, Wang Bo realized it, but the crossbowmen under his command had already shot away the most powerful crossbow arrows. "Archers, archers spread, stop those light cavalry!" Wang Bo heard his voice like a window screen torn by the strong wind.
, I saw arrows flying around like headless flies, but none of them hit.
It was too late. Only the lightly armored cavalry crossed the hundred-step distance. The six-breath archers chased their figures in vain and fired, but their arrows could only fly after the smoke and dust left by the horses. They quickly closed in on the enemy.
The distance between the minions, the two wings formed in a hurry before the opponent had time to escape, and the orders could not be unified, then cut in like two sickles, cutting down the minions big and small like crops.
"Move closer to the Chinese Army, move closer to the Changbai Army, change the formation, turn it into a circular formation!" Wang Bo's shouts already had a crying tone. No one understands the combat effectiveness of those guys on the two wings better than him, and no one understands those guys better than him.
The danger after the collapse of the people. If those guys didn't stay before, even if the side of the Changbai Army receives a sudden attack, it can easily make up for the gap. But if those allies rush into his main formation from the side, there is no need for the army to attack again.
Just the allies running around can defeat the Changbai Army.
God is always unfair. What is Wang Boyue worried about? In which direction will the situation develop? The officers and soldiers who rushed into the two wings quickly pulled back, cutting a dark red arc in the crowd, leaving behind corpses and people running in all directions.
The minions, drive the other minions beside you like sheep, and quickly squeeze towards the Chinese army.
The big and small minions who had previously provoked each other suddenly lost their bearings. They envied those friends who were abandoned by the cavalry, but could not find a chance to escape from the battlefield. They pushed each other, hoping that their companions could stop the evil spirits.
The war horse that stepped over was pushed out by other companions and sent to the sword of the officers and soldiers.
The horizontal knife just flashed, and then swept a human head into the air, and the blood drew a strange curved surface in the air, as if it was alive, slowly falling, slowly spreading, spreading terror into every pair of eyes, telling them
The opponent's combat capabilities are not on the same level as your own, so even resistance is futile.
The cavalry did not make any pause, the horizontal swords in their hands danced like lightning, and the swords harvested lives. They did not deliberately distinguish the rank of their opponents, nor did they have the habit of collecting heads from dead bodies. They just chopped, chopped, non-stop.
Cut, no matter whether the person standing in front of you is a strong man or an old, weak, sick or disabled person, there will be no mercy, without any hesitation!
Like boiling soup and pouring snow, the two wings of the rebel army collapsed in a few breaths. Liu Chunsheng, who thought he was fearless, disappeared. Sun Xuanya, the righteous head of the family, also disappeared like dew, leaving no one to command and no one.
The minions who rescued rushed into the Changbai Army's main formation according to the direction preset by the government and military.
"Hold them, stop them from shooting arrows, shoot them indiscriminately!" Wang Bo ordered loudly with his eyes red.
After this order is issued, he will never be able to win over the hearts and minds of Hebei Lulin again.
But if he didn't give this order, he knew that he wouldn't be able to survive today.
