Many elephant soldiers picked up the corpses on the ground and charged towards the Linzhan Crossbow Formation!

Crisis is coming!

But Gan Zijin just frowned without any fear!

During this period, in addition to guarding the entrance of Tianbi Road, he was also thinking and deducing every day how Xiang Rong would attack in Tianbi Road.

He also put himself in Xiangrong's shoes and thought about how he would break the formation.

After constant thinking, he came up with dozens of attack methods, and therefore made dozens of preparations. Faced with these attacks, how should he defend himself?

The charging method of Xiang Rong carrying the dead body was within the dozens of methods he had expected.

Therefore, he has already thought of countermeasures!

"The crossbowmen retreat, the spearmen prepare their formation!"

Following Gan Zijin's loud shout, the two rows of crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the sword and shield men also retreated. The spearmen waiting at the rear quickly ran forward!

The first row of spearmen squatted down, their spears pressed against the ground, and the spear points pointed upwards!

The second row of spearmen squatted half-crouching, placing their spears on the shoulders of the first row of spearmen!

The spearmen in the third row stood up straight and placed their spears on the shoulders of the spearmen in the second row, forming a three-row spear array. The sharp tips of the spears were densely packed, like a natural chasm, which was difficult to break!

Although these spears were temporarily made by people sent by Ganzi Jin and were made of short knives tied to thick wood, their power is not weaker than the authentic spears.

This formation was extremely frightening, but the elephant soldiers still carried the dead bodies and crashed into them, causing heavy casualties immediately!

No matter how they rushed, jumped, or slashed, they could not break through the spear formation, which was like a copper wall and an iron wall, blocking them firmly.

And their casualties continue to increase!

This situation made Xiang Rong extremely angry. I don't know whether it was to vent his anger or to do it intentionally. One Xiang Rong suddenly made an effort and threw the dead body on the ground towards the spear array.

The corpses smashed in, knocking some of the spearmen slightly.

Finding that this method was quite effective, many Xiang Rong threw corpses frantically, causing chaos in the spear array.

When Gan Zijin saw this, he was not frightened at all. He had already expected this situation and immediately ordered, "Spear formation, retreat slowly!"

The third row of spearmen acted upon the order, quickly put away their spears, pointed their spear points upward, and quickly retreated.

The spearmen in the second row stood up and moved their spears from the shoulders of the spearmen in the first row to the gap between the two people in the front row.

The first row of spearmen also stood up, turned their diagonal spears into horizontal thrusts, maintained formation with the second row of spearmen, and retreated slowly.

The two rows of spears thrust out still played a role in blocking the Xiangrong.

In this way, we can evacuate this place. There are no corpses behind, and the Xiangrong cannot attack with the help of dead corpses.

And this sky wall road is extremely long, and every part is quite narrow. It also has the effect of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Xiangrong pursued for a while, but were unable to break through the spear array. Even though they were brave and fearless of death, they could not commit the act of hitting the spear points and dying in vain.

After several trials and a few casualties, Xiang Rong returned in vain and retreated in dismay.

In the Tianbi Road, cheers suddenly sounded!

This is the first complete victory for the Yuan clan in all the anti-Rong wars in the past few months!

In the past, in many siege battles, the Yuan clan was able to defend the city at first, but both sides suffered a lot of casualties, so it was considered a tie.

But now, the Xiangrong suffered a lot of casualties, but the Yuan clan didn't have many casualties. Only when they defended their position can it be considered a victory!

Luocheng fell, Dingyue fell, and the soldiers and civilians retreated... The depression that had been felt for a long time, and the depression in the hearts of the Linzhan soldiers were all released at this moment!

They discovered that as long as they took advantage of the natural chasm and were properly prepared, they could make the elephants return home!

Listening to the cheers and shouts of the soldiers, Gan Zijin also smiled, but soon he stopped smiling.

Because he knows that victory is temporary.

Xiangrong is just testing, and they will launch more violent attacks in the future.

After all, tonight, Xiangrong only sent a few soldiers and horses to hunt down the deserters, but did not gather a heavy force to attack this place.

From now on, when faced with a large number of Xiangrong, whether it is a crossbow formation or a spear formation, they may not be able to stop the opponent.

Just like in this battle, he could see clearly that if Xiangrong's attack was more fierce, he would be able to rush forward with a crossbow.

The spear array will also have holes due to the opponent's violent attack.

By then, there will be a bloody fight!

But even so, Gan Zijin still believes that relying on the Tianbi Road and the bravery of the soldiers, even if the casualties are heavy, the Xiang Rong can be stopped here!

Not to mention it will take a long time, at least a month or two, it can definitely be done!

But this is just his expectation. After all, Xiang Rong is not stupid. If the Tianbi Dao cannot be attacked for a long time, they will choose to take a detour.

Therefore, local victory cannot bring about overall victory.

This is the current situation.

After suppressing his distracting thoughts and seeing the soldiers cheering, Gan Zijin immediately said, "Xiang Rong is a formidable enemy and should not be underestimated. Clean up this place immediately and move the corpses outside the Tianbi Road for burial!"

"Hurry up and make crossbows and spears as soon as possible to supplement them. In addition, you must also make resisting horses, tie them up, and put them in front to create obstacles for the elephant soldiers!"

"From today onwards, we will take turns to rest, take strict precautions, do not neglect, and send out scouts to detect the movement ahead. If there is an attack by the Xiang Rong, report it immediately!"

Following Gan Zijin's orders, many soldiers took action one after another!

For the first time they won with very little damage, they were very motivated!

……

Walking slowly along the corridor, Wu Xiang arrived in front of the Japanese room with a calm expression.

The servant guarding the door immediately opened the paper shoji door for the Prime Minister.

After walking in, Prime Minister Wu saw that there were several people in the room shouting fiercely, seeming to be venting their anger or quarreling.

The leader is none other than Hojo Nagayasu.

Seeing the other party, Prime Minister Wu nodded as a greeting.

Opposite Hojo Choyasu, three samurai were sitting. After seeing the military minister, they all snorted angrily and turned away, looking angry.

In response, Wu Xiang looked dull and ignored her. She walked aside and sat down cross-legged.

Without guessing, he already knew that these people must be talking about the previous defeat.

In this battle alone, the Hojo family injured five thousand ashigaru, which was a huge loss for any daimyo.

Regarding this, everyone in the Hojo family was furious and resentful.

I never expected that the Hojo family would be defeated by the Yoshikawa family, which was weaker than themselves, and it was a disastrous defeat!

Some of them vented their anger on the initiator of this war, Prime Minister Wu.

In their view, it was the idea of ​​the military prime minister that led to the battle between the Hojo family and the Yoshikawa family, resulting in a disastrous defeat.

But they did not want to think about the fact that the Yoshikawa family attacked with heavy troops and fierce momentum. The Hojo family could not avoid this battle at all.

Although his subordinates were spitting bad words about the Prime Minister, Hojo Nagayasu did not agree. He knew that this was not the Prime Minister's fault.

The only thing he could blame was that the other party was too sharp. The damage caused by that round of arrow rain made him feel regretful when he thought about it now!

He knew that those extremely powerful weapons must have been brought by Qin Yi!

This weapon was so powerful that he coveted it. It also gave him a headache and he didn't know how to deal with it.

This is why he called the Prime Minister Wu.

Although he had been hiding it from the Prime Minister before, the fact that the enemy soldiers had sharp weapons could not be deceived. If the Prime Minister did not know about it and could not take targeted measures, no matter how hard he fought in the future, he would end in a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, Hojo Nagayasu slowly said something.

The servant on the side immediately stepped forward and handed the crossbow arrows on the table to the Prime Minister.

Hikojo Nobuno, who was sitting on the other side, translated aloud, "My lord said that the Yoshikawa family got a powerful weapon from nowhere and defeated our side. My lord wants you to see if you recognize this weapon.

”

"My lord also wants to ask you, how should we deal with the Yoshikawa family having such a sharp weapon?"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister nodded slowly and took the crossbow arrow.

Hojo Changyasu also had the same crossbow arrow in his hand. It was pulled out from the injured person and had been washed.

He lowered his head and stared at the crossbow arrow, frowning.

He had already observed it before and found that the arrow was very sharp and shorter than the arrows used in longbows.

In addition, it has another peculiarity.

There is a strange pattern on the end of the crossbow shaft.

It looked like a circle. There was a character in the middle of the circle. He didn't recognize it, but Hiko Shino said that the character was "xin", a character from Cangyuan Continent.

It is very likely that if this arrow is lost, it is called the letter arrow.

Or maybe it’s that weird weapon whose name is related to the letter.
