Xiao Wei is actually no stranger to war. In his previous life, he had watched many war blockbusters. He was also familiar with classics such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". In this life, he was threatened by the pointer of Mr. Shu Xuecheng.
, he has also done analysis of battle cases for both young and old. On weekdays, he often listens to the guards bragging about the glory of past battles. In his dreams, he often fantasizes about being able to command thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield, and have a chat and laugh.
Things like being wiped out in ashes, but when the thieves came swarming from all over the mountains and plains, Xiao Wei was very frustrated to find that his legs and feet were not obeying his orders and started to tremble slightly. His mouth was so dry that it was smoking, and his heart was even more so.
He was dancing so hard that it almost jumped out of his throat.
Hold on, hold on! Xiao Wei kept shouting in his heart, but his body still couldn't help but tremble, and it gradually became more and more violent. Just when he was about to lose his composure, Fatty Tang's wolf howl sounded just in time.
The ground rang: "Xiaosan, Xiaosan, he's got a lot of thieves, what should I do, what should I do?"
"What the hell are you going to do? Just hit him!" Xiao Wei roared, completely releasing the tension in his heart. His originally anxious heart gradually calmed down with this roar, and he didn't go any further.
The fat man in charge of the Tang Dynasty cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, waved his hand and said: "Everyone obeys the order, all get down to the trenches and prepare to fight!"
Although all the caravan guys were experienced in traveling around, they were not soldiers after all. Seeing the large number of bandits coming, they were all frightened. Even though Xiao Wei roared like a mountain, but most of them came forward to answer the order.
He stood there with a pale face, and even worse, quietly retreated back up the mountain in an attempt to escape from the back mountain.[
The most important thing in a hand-to-hand battle is momentum. No matter how large the number of troops without morale is, they are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Xiao Wei naturally knows this well. At this moment, he saw a group of caravan members panicking.
, Xiao Wei's face turned cold, and he shouted loudly: "Ningnan, Ningbei, listen to the order: Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be killed and pardoned!"
"Here!" The two Ning brothers agreed in unison, each with a knife in hand, and led the ten royal guards who stayed behind to guard the position with eager eyes, ready to kill at any time. When a group of caravan guys saw it,
In such a situation, they did not dare to hesitate, and they rushed into the second trench in panic according to Xiao Wei's prior arrangement, either holding a bow in their hand, or picking up the sharp points prepared in advance in the trench.
With a long wooden stick, he hid in a trench that was not too deep with his waist bent, silently waiting for the arrival of the rebels.
The thieves attacked very fast. The first to arrive at the foot of the mountain were more than two hundred cavalry. However, they did not immediately charge to the mountain. Instead, they galloped back and forth at the foot of the mountain, roaring and whistling wantonly.
They were doing some fancy things from time to time to lower the morale of the people on the mountain. When the sky was about to darken, a large group of rebel infantry also swarmed to the foot of the mountain, and then lined up three people.
On top of the neat square formation, two big men who were obviously leaders led a group of personal guards out of the crowd and started pointing and discussing at the quiet hilltop. These two men were the "Iron Wolf"
Chen Huainan and Tongchuan's "Angry Tiger" Ximen Haiyun - Ximen Haiyun, nicknamed "Angry Tiger", is extremely tall, has a dark complexion, leopard eyes, and a beard. Sitting upright on a horse, he looks as ferocious as a doorman.
, is a famous bandit in Guanzhong, with strong martial arts skills, good at killing horses and swords, cruel and murderous, and once slaughtered two counties in a row, leaving no chickens or dogs behind; Chen Huainan, nicknamed "Iron",
He is as tall and thin as a hemp stalk, has small and fierce eyes, is cunning and cunning, is good at using a spear, and his marksmanship is known as the best in Guanzhong. His power is only lower than Ximen Haiyun, and is second to the three bandits in Guanzhong.
"Brother Ximen, there seems to be something wrong with the situation. Liu Mingqi is the guy closest to here. How come he has such a bad temper and hasn't shown up yet? Furthermore, the top of the mountain is so quiet and weird.
"Tight, it seems that you are well prepared. Haha, no matter how you look at it, I think there is something weird inside. This piece of fat may not be so delicious." Chen Huainan looked towards the top of the mountain, with a look of suspicion on his face.
Said in a "colorful" way.
"Hmm." Ximen Haiyun said noncommittally, his leopard eyes narrowed, looking at Xiao Wei standing alone at a conspicuous place on the top of the mountain, his eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
.
"Brother, it's getting dark today. Haha, why don't I let my men attack first?" Seeing that Ximen Haiyun didn't speak for a while, Chen Huainan chuckled and asked tentatively.
"No need." Ximen Haiyun didn't even look at Chen Huainan. He grinned and sneered: "Let He Huzi and the others go first. Hey, if you want to take the meat from your and my brothers' mouths, no
How can you achieve it with great strength?"
"Hey, OK, I have the final say." Chen Huainan knew that Ximen Haiyun was preventing him from taking the lead, but he didn't mind. He smiled and agreed to Ximen Haiyun's proposal.
Now that the two giants among the bandits have reached an agreement, there is no room for others to comment. Without counting, a shrill horn sounded in the bandit array, and the group of bandits arrayed in the left array immediately became "chaotic"
They rushed up the hillside in a roar, and rushed to the top of the mountain with shouts. With this rush, the faces of the mob were immediately exposed, but they saw that there were only a thousand gangsters in total rushing towards them.
It was divided into dozens of groups of different sizes, some more than two hundred, some only thirty or forty. Of course, this is not surprising. The gangsters in the left formation were not in the same group at all, but were formed by Wen.
The small group of bandits from all over the place who came to drink soup once launched a charge. Naturally, they would all go their own way. No one would listen to the instructions of others. They would just kill them halfway up the mountain without any formation.
.
"Come on, brother, rush on, rush on, take the top of the mountain, there is plenty of treasure, hurry up!" The big thief He Huzi has more than 230 bandits under his command. He is the strongest force below the three bandits in Guanzhong. This time he was ordered to be the vanguard.
, so he had some selfish motives, and arranged all his men at the front, rushing up the hillside with all their strength, shouting non-stop, and thinking of grabbing the first advantage.
The bandits were originally masters who wanted money rather than their lives. When they heard the word "treasure", all of them turned red-eyed and screamed, running wildly, fearing that they would fall behind and ask others to grab the treasure.
Unexpectedly, when they rushed to the foot of the mountain, they heard a continuous sound of miserable trumpets. It was the trap arranged by Xiao Wei earlier that had taken effect.
"Ouch, my feet!"
"Ah, it hurts me so much."
"Ah, help!"
He Huzhu's men were the fastest, so naturally they were the unluckiest. The trap Xiao Wei had people set was actually not that unusual. They were just small wooden sticks with sharpened ends buried in shallow pits.
It's just a mechanism, it's not fatal, but it hurts your feet. The bandits only thought about dividing the treasure, and they didn't pay attention to whether there was an ambush at their feet. In this rush, most of the dozens of bandits running at the front were hit.
The soles of the feet were pierced completely by sharp wooden stakes. The pain caused the screams to suddenly become loud. The bandits who were running away all slowed down timidly, and then the robbers who had surged up earlier
Not having the courage to do so, he had to cautiously climb up the mountainside. It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the mountainside. When he looked at the terrain they faced, all the bandits were dumbfounded.
The trench was actually not deep, only four feet up and down, and only three feet wide. However, a thick earthen wall up to four feet high was built along the inner edge. It was obvious that this earthen wall was made from local materials.
It's just made of soil from the ditch, and it's not too strong or tall. The problem is that there is a ditch, and the slope of the mountain itself means that a group of bandits can't jump over at all, and there are so many things on hand.
Things like wooden boards can be put up on the edge of the ditch, let alone using brute strength to break down the earth wall. Among the bandits, except for a dozen or so who are highly skilled in martial arts and can fly up the wall with light skills, the rest want to climb over the wall.
They had to go down into the ditch first, and then climb up the earth wall. The trouble was that none of the bandits knew whether there was a trap in the ditch or whether there was an ambush behind the earth wall. No one dared to act rashly, they were all frightened and suspicious.
The crowd gathered in front of the ditch, talking nonsense.
"Fire arrows and throw spears!" The group of gangsters gathered in front of the ditch were simply a good target. Xiao Wei, who had already arrived at the mountainside, would not miss this great opportunity. He roared and issued the order.
After receiving the combat order, all the merchants stood up from the trenches one after another. Dozens of men with bows and arrows opened their bows and shot arrows, unceremoniously shooting the death arrows towards them.
Amid the chaos of thieves, the rest of the men threw out the pointed wooden sticks in their hands, only to see a dense rain of javelins crackling into the middle of the group of thieves, causing a burst of noise in an instant.
After a while, there was a sound of miserable howling - although the power of the pointed wooden stick is not great, but at such a close distance, it is also very penetrating. For the bandits without armor protection, this is simply a battle.
It was a nightmare. Being shot and killed on the spot was a good thing, but it was miserable for someone who was not completely dead. They were rolling around on the ground and crying loudly.
"F*ck, fight back, hurry up, shoot them to death!" Seeing that his side was in a state of disarray by this sudden attack, He Huzi was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he waved the big knife in his hand to fend it off.
He "shot" the javelins and feather arrows that were coming towards him, and roared in his mouth, ordering the archers and hidden weapon masters among the bandits to launch a counterattack, trying to "shoot" against the caravan guys behind the wall.
Not to mention, most of the bandits in Guanzhong are brave people who dare to die. Although they were caught off guard by the caravan guys and killed and injured hundreds of people, they did not collapse. The archers with bows and arrows just shot arrows.
, those with concealed weapons also unceremoniously unleashed their attacks on the earthen wall, and the fight was in full swing, but unfortunately the effect was not satisfactory - although the earthen wall was not high, there was a shallow ditch behind it, and a group of caravan guys
Except for the archers who need to lean out half of their bodies to shoot arrows, the rest of the javelin players don't need to aim at all. They only need to stretch out one arm and throw the pointed stick vigorously.
, As a result, the bandits' counterattack, except for shooting a few dozen caravan guys who accidentally exposed their bodies, failed to suppress the firepower of the caravan guys at all, and instead used their own
The casualties are increasing.[
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Although the bandits were brave, but faced with the situation of being beaten and unable to fight back, their hard-hearted hearts could not stand it anymore, and they left the wounded people who were howling all over the ground one after another.
, fled down the mountain without looking back. The first head-to-head confrontation between the two sides ended with the caravan's victory...
