Chapter 900 The Farmer's Battle

Those soldiers who were pushed at the front were destined to die, whether they fell forward into the pit or were shot by the crossbowmen's bows and arrows. When they reached this point, they had no choice but to die.

choose.

Maybe they had a chance of survival after falling directly into the pit, but the soldiers who stepped on them immediately would only make them suffer more, and it would be basically impossible for them to live again. Not to mention that such a way to die would be trampled by others.

Everyone will hesitate, but when they hesitate, it means they have chosen another way to die. There is no possibility of life anyway.

Brother Pao Ze, who was once close to each other, now what he wants to do most is to push them into a pit to smooth the way.

Very cruel.

Such a killing was a test of Yu Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Zhou army, but how could it not be a test of Li Xingchen's conscience?

But Li Xingchen also had no choice. He didn't believe that Yu Yi wouldn't do this to him if he had the same opportunity.

These are inherently troubled times, and being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself.

Yu Xi's steps staggered a little. The bloody choice before him was something he had never encountered before or even imagined. But all he could do now was to move forward. There were still three to four hundred soldiers who could overcome the trap.

The people behind were also moving forward in a steady stream, and Yu Xi took a deep breath:

"Brothers, defeat the enemy and kill the thieves right now, charge forward!"

And as if in response to him, the wooden rolling stones on the hillside crashed down with a rumble. The crossbowmen in the first trench also took advantage of this opportunity and began to retreat backwards.

Communication trenches close to each other were dug between the two trenches. However, considering that the enemy might come in along the communication trenches, the communication trenches of the two trenches did not meet together. There was still a distance of more than ten feet in between, and this

It is also the section of road where these crossbowmen are most likely to die.

The arrows quickly caught up with them, and the reaction of the Northern Zhou crossbowmen could not but be called fast. In other words, they were already holding their breath when they struggled to cross the trap. There were constant panic attacks.

The soldiers fell, but after all, the rolling stones thrown just now made the already scattered formation of the Northern Zhou army even more chaotic, so these crossbowmen were lucky enough to escape.

The amount of wood and rolling stones they threw was not too much. After all, the time to set up the entire position was only two or three days. It was already very good to be able to arrange the position like this in two or three days. Naturally, there would be many people who did not worry about it.

details, including the wooden rolling stones.

Moreover, after crossing the trap, the hillside suddenly widened. In order for the rolling stones to be effective, the number required was too large, so the gain was not worth the loss. Yu Xi quickly dodged two of the stones and started to rush forward again.

.

"Fire the arrows!" Li Xingchen ordered decisively, and the soldiers who had been waiting around him simultaneously released their powerful crossbows. The arrows roared across the second line of defense and plunged into the ranks of Northern Zhou soldiers on the edge of the first line of defense.

At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could already see the trenches in front of them. Apparently, they had realized that they could temporarily escape by hiding in the trenches. Most of these trenches were curved backwards, with few bending forwards.

There were so few people, and everyone wanted to get into the trench as early as possible, so groups of people crowded together, undoubtedly once again becoming a living target for the crossbowmen. But this time the crossbowmen were different from before.

These long-trained veterans of Li Xingchen can almost be said to be ruthless killing machines. Rows of arrows roared away. The crowded Northern Zhou soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell down, while the crossbowmen behind them wanted to fight back.

, but the opponent is either too far away, or they are all lying in the trench, hiding behind the breastwork, with only half of their heads exposed, so how can they hit it?

"Trap, it's a trap!" The first lucky man who jumped into the ditch by chance found that he missed the mark.

Trap, the same trap as on the slope just now!

Yu Xi only felt empty in her head.

These cunning and damned barbarians even laid traps in all the protruding trenches. It would be no different for the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to jump in anxiously and die.

Suddenly Yu Xi remembered Li Xingchen's battle at Tiangongyuan.

According to what Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan described after they returned, the entire Tiangongyuan Mountain was covered with trenches and traps, and even a rugged defense line composed of parapets and grain and fodder vehicles. Every step forward required heavy casualties.

The scene in front of me is so similar to the defense line of Tiangongyuan described by Yu Chijiong and others!

It was only then that Yu Xi suddenly realized that what Li Xingchen was best at was not offense, but defense!

What's more important is that Li Xingchen used this method to maximize the abilities of his ragtag group. Yu Xi and the others were not fighting soldiers at all, but a group of farmers. This was undoubtedly something they had never encountered before.

Never imagined it.

This group of farmers set up wooden stakes, dug traps, and dug trenches to resist layer by layer. They avoided close contact with the Northern Zhou army. They would use this method to constantly wear them down.

Decrease military strength and fighting spirit.

"Quickly, enter the trench from the far end!" Yu Xi ordered decisively. There was no possibility of retreat at this time. If we retreat, not only will these soldiers and horses collide with the soldiers and horses still going up the mountain, but also the exposed hillsides will be exposed.

Retreating is almost a living target for the enemy.

Now the only way to survive is to rush into the trench.

"Yu Xi still has some brains." Li Xingchen stood on the hillside and frowned. It was obvious that Yu Xi's reaction had saved their lives at least now. If they retreated in a panic at this time, Li Xingchen would definitely not hesitate.

They used arrows and the remaining wood and rolling stones to educate them. In this way, the losses of the Northern Zhou army would undoubtedly be even more severe.

However, there are not so many good things in the world. Yu Xi has followed Yu Yi on the battlefield for so long, so of course he cannot be a completely brainless fool. Soon groups of Northern Zhou soldiers rushed into the trenches. Although the entire formation

There was chaos, the generals couldn't find their soldiers, and the soldiers didn't know whose orders they should follow, but at least these people survived.

"Get down and rectify the team!" Yu Xi shouted loudly.

In the narrow tunnel, the soldiers could only bend down and advance cautiously, so Yu Xi didn't know how many people there were at the moment. This was not the most brutal battle he had ever experienced, but it was definitely the most chaotic battle.

A well-trained team should be focused on advancing and retreating in a well-established manner and staying calm in battle, but now Yu Xi can't find any generals to whom he can issue orders. In desperation, he can only yell: "Prepare to attack!"
