Chapter 849: The chariot comes out, Yuan Shao vomits blood
Faced with a spear thrust into his chest, he just stepped back with his right foot, turned sideways to the right and chose to resist forcefully. The ring-shou knife in his right hand took advantage of the situation and struck the opposite soldier Yuan Shao's neck with a diagonal slash.
Half of his neck was cut off, and blood flew out.
Before any excitement could arise, he slashed his head with a sword from the side. He raised his left arm and struck hard outwards. He thrust out the sword with all his strength and pierced the chest of the soldier on the opposite side.
He kicked the opponent, took advantage of the situation and pulled out the Huanshou knife, and once again chose to use his chest to receive the knife. Through the steel breastplate, he was still shocked and took half a step back. There was a burning pain in his chest, and bruises were inevitable.
Taking advantage of the opponent's strength, he slashed across the opponent's head with his sword, severely cutting off the opponent's right arm. There was a long gash on the side of his chest, and he was obviously dead.
This is just the most common scene on the battlefield, there are thousands of similar situations happening constantly.
Liu Bei's 40,000-strong army was surrounded on three sides by Qu Yi's 150,000-strong army, and they began a rapid attack.
On the battlefield, there were people everywhere, and those clever moves could not be used at all. They were all open and closed. During the training, Liu Beijun consciously trained to use his breastplate to resist the opponent's attacks.
Where the two armies clashed, corpses began to pile up slowly. It was okay at first, and Liu Bei's army was able to withstand Yuan Shaojun's attack. However, as time went by, the front line could no longer be defended, and it was compressed and retreated step by step.
This is not to say how brave Yuan Shaojun is, but when the army charges, it does not mean that the people in front can stop if they want. Tens of thousands of people swarm forward. No matter if they stop or fall down, they will definitely die!
In particular, when forming the array, Qu Yi deliberately minimized the gaps between the arrays and forcibly created a situation from which there was no retreat.
This inspiration came from the Battle of the Boundary Bridge. It was because they had no way to retreat that they achieved such a beautiful result.
As for Liu Beijun's elite, he had already heard about it, especially the huge gap in equipment. In order to prevent the entire army from collapsing due to a large number of casualties upon contact, this formation method lost its flexibility.
, but overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Of course, all of this is provided that no accidents occur.
And now, an accident occurs!
As Liu Bei's army was compressed and retreated step by step, it didn't take long before the tanks hidden inside were revealed.
The spearman standing inside the chariot, holding a spear more than three meters long, began to stab the outside wildly. With one shot, blood spurted out, and no one was spared.
For Yuan Shaojun, who was rushing at the front at this moment, it was absolutely impossible to stop. The pressure from behind may not be less than the pressure from the front. He ducked and shot in front of him, and the ring-headed knife he waved in his hand was aimed hard at the people in the car.
Cut through.
Liu Beijun in the carriage did not panic, but took a step back. "Dang" the saber made a loud noise when he saw it at the edge of the carriage. The force of the shock caused Sergeant Yuan Shao to lose his grip on the sword and fly out.
A short gun was quickly thrust out of the carriage and pierced the man's neck. As the short gun was withdrawn, Sergeant Yuan Shao's eyes widened and he fell to the ground with unblinking eyes.
Liu Bei's soldiers, who had just been beaten back by Yuan Shaojun, could finally lean on the carriage and breathe a sigh of relief. With the cover of the three-meter spear above their heads, Liu Bei's army did not have to worry about the enemies on both sides and behind him, and Liu Bei's combat power could not be exerted at all.
They cannot be compared.
Inside the carriage, there must be an archer using a short bow. Although the range is not far, they are not sharpshooters themselves. The target is the enemy within five to ten meters. Most of our soldiers rely on chariots to fight.
In this case, there is basically no need to worry about accidental injuries.
The two thousand chariots played a decisive role as soon as they appeared on the battlefield. Like a city wall, they blocked the oncoming Yuan Shaojun. However, Yuan Shaojun, who had a hard time stopping, acted like a madman, terrified.
Screaming had no effect. They were pushed by the troops behind them, and they were sent to the sword and gun one by one and turned into dead souls.
Standing on the high platform, Yuan Shao's mood has been ups and downs from the beginning of the war to this moment. From being ecstatic when Liu Bei's army was defeated with the whole army pressing down, to being worried about being blocked by chariots and making no progress, to being worried.
He was frightened that the momentum of the army was gradually fading. His hands that were holding on to the railing were clenched tightly, leaving fingerprints on the railing. His hands with bulging veins showed his anxiety and uneasiness at this moment.
As a former army commander, Qu Yi obviously discovered this, but at this moment, the side effects of the specially designed method of reducing the gaps between the queues were revealed.
The team couldn't stop, or at least, it was difficult to stop.
As for the first to die, Qu Yi didn't even consider sending them at this moment, it was useless!
Qu Yi can now think of a way to deal with this kind of chariot. He can jump into it. After all, the chariot is small. All he has to do is jump in and fight hand-to-hand. What will be seen is his personal bravery.
But the problem is, it’s hard to get close!
The dead soldiers can deal with flesh and blood first, and there is no problem in attacking the city, but if they only wear light armor and give up defense, they may be beaten to a pulp before they get close.
Another way is to make a more rapid impact and directly rely on manpower to overturn this kind of chariot. It does not seem to weigh much. As long as the soldiers are willing to risk their lives enough, it may not be unable to meet the requirements. But the problem is that such soldiers cannot be killed.
think it exists.
At least he hasn't seen it!
"Mr. Yuan, withdraw your troops. If you withdraw your troops now, you can still retain most of your strength!" Qu Yi looked at Yuan Shao on the high platform, with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Withdraw troops...hehe, hehe." Yuan Shao's mouth twitched, his face flushed abnormally, and he looked at Qu Yi with some hope in his eyes, "If we withdraw our troops, will General Qu be sure of defeating the enemy next time?"
"..."
silence.
All I got was silence.
Yuan Shao looked at the group of counselors around him. These celebrities, who usually talked loudly and had high spirits, were all frowning and silent at this moment. Facing Yuan Shao's expectant eyes, they all turned their heads slightly.
It’s over…
Yuan Shao couldn't think of a way, and neither could anyone else!
"Is there really nothing I can do?" Yuan Shao looked at Qu Yi again, his tone full of pleading.
Qu Yi turned his eyes back to the battlefield. At this moment, the momentum of Yuan Shaojun's advance was completely eliminated. He, who has been in battle for a long time, knew that this was a precursor to collapse.
It will not take too long for panic to spread throughout the entire army, and defeat will be inevitable.
"This kind of chariot can only be used in field battles. It has almost no effect when attacking a city. As long as the army is still there, there is no problem at least holding on to one place."
Qu Yi did not answer Yuan Shao directly, but Yuan Shao already understood the meaning behind his words.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yuan Shao's mouth, "Determine, fight to the death!"
After saying these four words, Yuan Shao fell on his back and fell unconscious.
