Chapter 80, Yulin Unsheathed
This Yulin Army of more than ten thousand people can be said to be the most loyal and trustworthy force of the young emperor. During Dong Zhuo's period, he was planning with the three state leaders and some loyal ministers, and formed a certain prototype.
Later Lu Bu took over Luoyang
In those few months, Liu Xie was released to the greatest extent. Even the remaining forces of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru's great enemy, did not continue to press the encirclement and suppression forces, and only focused on training these people in the palace.
Private accommodation.
In terms of pure combat power, the selection of these people is very strict. In addition to loyalty, personal strength is the most important assessment, so even if compared with the real elite forces under Lu Bu's command, they are confident that they will not be much worse; of course this is not the case.
It's hard to say, after all, although most of them have been on the battlefield, but entering a new team, even if they are a group of warriors,
Veterans with great strength also need to be sharpened, and the best whetstone is the actual test of war. Unfortunately, Liu Xie cannot lead the army on his own, and he does not have suitable leaders. If Lu Bu is allowed to lead him out, he will not let others
Don't worry, so if this time against Pound's battle, if it can be used as a training ground, Dong Cheng would have no choice but to thank him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Following Dong Cheng's gesture of raising his hand and letting go, the Yulin Army in the front row stared with awe, and their spirits were shaken. At this time, their good foundation was revealed, even if their cooperation was not tacit enough.
The degree of running-in is not enough, but it is almost on the same level.
Their strength made them react so subconsciously after receiving the order, but they were also so synchronized. Then they saw that they were just like what they had planned. They all raised the spears in their hands, and then they all reacted in unison at the same time.
Throw the weapon in your hand forward without any hesitation.
If he was now on a vast battlefield, facing enemies surrounded from all directions, and the distance was not close, then Dong Cheng would not dare to choose such a way to fight back.
But there is no what if. The current situation is that the enemy is in front of us, and the environment is in a street that is much narrower than the plain battlefield. The lethality of this attack method will be doubled. It can be seen that
After the spears and spears they threw drew a parabola in mid-air, they all landed in the front row of the enemy camp. To be more precise, they seemed to have been smashed into them.
At this moment, Liu Xie held his breath, and Dong Cheng could even hear his own heartbeat. Even the best drills before had no effect at this time, and it all depended on actual performance. And this first attack...or can be said to be a counterattack.
.In the eyes of Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and others, Bish
Everything is important. The ministers who had seen the opportunity and were about to come forward to pay homage to Liu Xie were also shocked at this time. Everyone was waiting for an unknown result. This unknown result is likely to play a key role.
The effect, and it will come soon——
Because there is no deliberate aim at the target, these thrown spears do not actually have a certain trajectory, or their operating rules are not completely independent from each other. This is of course also consistent with the Yulin Military Sect.
The degree of compatibility has something to do with it. They can't do it now.
There must be such a tacit understanding from a distance, even if it is just such a limited number of dozens of people throwing at the same time, so when these spears flew into the air, many of them even intertwined and collided with each other, or several spears fell down.
It actually hit the same enemy soldier, and two of them hit the same part.
But perhaps because of this, everyone doesn't need to worry about anything else at all. They just use their best strength and don't care much about the posture of throwing spears. As long as they can be thrown, it will be better.
, coupled with the fact that the enemy and we are not far apart from each other, and at the same time both sides have the momentum to charge towards each other,
This also makes it possible that once the enemy is stabbed, the force is so strong that it can penetrate the opponent's body directly at once. Some spears even directly nail the opponent's body to the ground, but they are quickly killed by the enemy soldiers rushing up from behind.
The soldiers pushed away, but it only slightly hindered their movement, and then the ones behind continued to rush forward.
At this moment, the soldiers in the second row of the Yulin Army with their spears raised high had already stepped forward——
Swish, swish, swish!
There was another sound of spears being thrown, piercing the air and causing the wind to roar, but compared to the previous time, this time it was somewhat more accurate. After all, they had been given more time to observe and aim before.
Although it is still a bit unflattering, the lethality has been greatly improved on this basis.
All I heard was "puff", "puff" one after another, and the sound of the spears piercing the leather armor, clothes and even flesh of Ma Chao's soldiers was heard. The force was smaller than before, but this time
The results achieved by the throwing were even more impressive. Including a few fish in the enemy's first row that had slipped through the net, as well as nearly twenty soldiers in the second row, all fell to this round of throwing spear attacks.
And just as Dong Cheng had expected, after such a good start, this Yulin army, which is already very good in quality and has the potential to become a master of hundreds of battles and an elite ace, is performing better and better.
, and even showed some super-level performance. At least in the very short period of time when they used spear throwing as an attack method before contact, they had unexpectedly created a way to annihilate nearly a hundred enemies, and only a dozen of their own were killed by the opponent.
Casualties caused by lost shots from emergency counterattacks.
The most direct result of this was that the corpses of Pang De's army were almost piled up on the streets, blocking the way. In the end, special personnel even needed to be dispatched to move the corpses to clear space.
The Yulin Army was greatly encouraged. Although the distance had been shortened to the point where throwing spears and spears was no longer useful, their confidence had increased and they were no longer afraid of further battles, let alone close combat.
This is actually a good thing compared to the Habayashi Army, which has not yet had time to adjust, and the terrain is more conducive for them to perform well.
Liu Xie and several ministers were also very excited. This was the first time for most of them to see such a scene. As soon as they thought that this Yulin army was on their side and was the real army of the emperor, they couldn't help but feel excited.
There was a feeling of pride and pride; Dong Cheng was a little relieved, thinking that he had not led them in vain just now. He had not grabbed a few hairs in vain to come up with such an idea, and he was also a little proud in his heart.
However, Pound, who was on the opposite side, was not in a good mood at this time. He could naturally see that the ministers on the opposite side from Liu Xie down had no experience in fighting in the army. Even if the situation was like this, most of them would probably
It was the first time for them to have personal experience; and although the soldiers under my command were not new recruits, the lack of cooperation was clearly visible. I don’t know how they were improvised and trained by patchwork. It was just like this.
Combination, my side actually suffered a defeat.
Of course, a battle is more than just a few simple charges. It is normal for hundreds of people to die at the beginning of such a tough battle. What is abnormal is that the scene they face is too weird. They are undefended.
In such an environment, the inexperienced general led a group of uncooperative soldiers, giving them a head-on attack.
Pound was even a little angry at this moment. Many of his initial assumptions were directly overturned by him in an instant. At this moment, he just wanted to use the most direct and violent means to crush the opponent, and even did so regardless of the consequences.
"kill!"
A sharp shout shook the long street. The silence in the surrounding area made the sound full of chilling meaning. As Pang De took the initiative to pick up the charge flag, the Ma Jiajun soldiers behind him all howled with excitement, and no one followed behind, not to be outdone.
The psychological shadow caused by the several rounds of spear and spear attacks by the Yu Lin Army just now completely disappeared in this moment.
Dong Cheng's heart trembled. Almost at the same time, he ordered: "Cover Your Majesty and all the ministers, step aside and form a formation to meet the enemy!"
A group of troops persuaded Liu Xie and his ministers, who had not yet fully recovered from their excitement, to move back, while the others quickly performed their duties and formed a temporary defensive formation in front of the spacious palace gate.
The ones squatting in the front row are a row of sword and shield hands, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. When the enemy charges, they use their shields to block arrows. When the enemy arrives, they draw their swords to meet them.
Behind them are two rows of alternating spears, and behind them are archers, who draw their bows and shoot towards the sky. With the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, one after another the sharp arrows leave the string, as if they are about to rush into the sky.
Average, but I rushed into the air and only passed the palace wall
The top was about half a foot high, and then it couldn't help but fall down. When it fell, the arrow was naturally pointing downwards. With the potential energy of gravity, the speed was even faster than when it was shot out. It fell right in front of Ma Chaojun, who was charging.
aside.
That's not all. Dong Cheng had even made preparations for the first few rows to serve as cannon fodder. After a distance, he arranged several rows of archers in the open space just in front of the palace gate. However, the number of archers in each row was
There are a lot more people, and at the same time, some good things he has already used can be used
, such as kerosene, firewood, etc., lay the firewood in rows, and then pour the kerosene along the line of the palace wall. Because the time was too hasty and the preparation was not sufficient, so it was only extended to the two sides near the palace gate, and nowhere else.
Then stop wherever you want. As for the arranged archers, they will naturally have rockets in their hands.
Moreover, Dong Cheng was not prepared to take action until the other party had completely invaded. That would definitely be too late. However, these people in front of him would inevitably become cannon fodder, and without knowing anything about it, Dong Cheng could not control that much. As long as in the end
If it works, these people have realized their value.
However, Dong Cheng still hoped in his heart that they could block the opponent more. Liu Xie and others were arranged inside, so there was no need to worry about their safety. There were also Yulin troops around him, so it was not to say that he was afraid. It was just that Dong Cheng thought that more
It is always a good thing to delay the opponent for a while, preferably to completely irritate them. Then the operation will not only be a wall of fire against them, but also to create some tragedies.
But he never thought that the first layer of defense he deployed would be so vulnerable to the opponent's charge. Although the rows of tight and orderly defense lines finally caused considerable damage to the opponent, the number of casualties was also high.
It rose straight up, but overall the time it took to survive was still far lower than Dong Cheng expected. It is estimated that Liu Xie and the others had not yet entered the palace to escape at this time. Over there, Pang De was already leading the way, followed by several brave men.
Another large group of troops has already rushed over.
This can't be blamed on Dong Cheng's poor arrangement, nor can it be said that Yulin's army is too weak. In fact, the momentum of this charge led by Pang De himself is too strong. Even Lu Bu's most elite soldiers may have to avoid the edge temporarily.
The so-called courage of the generals, the general Pound charging forward, greatly inspired the soldiers behind him, and they also risked their lives. In contrast, Dong Cheng, who only knew how to hide among the guards of the Royal Forest Army, could only In comparison, the momentum is already a bit weaker.
When Pang De finally broke through the encirclement and passed through the palace gate, Dong Cheng reacted and immediately shouted: "Shoot the arrow, hurry up, shoot the arrow quickly!"
