Chapter 109 Do you think you made a profit? In fact, you have already lost your underwear...
Ji Ling's soldiers rushed forward, but suddenly found that no one was shouting at them, and they couldn't help but slow down in confusion.
But there was no way to slow down even if you wanted to, because the soldiers rushing up from behind almost pushed those in front forward.
Further ahead is Cao Jun's shield and spear formation. The cold spear tips made the scalp of the soldiers at the front go numb.
"Kill!"
"Rush over!"
"It's Li Liang! Why don't you rush? What's the point of standing up to me!"
There was a general in the rear who might have felt that his position was safer. Seeing that the front was close to Cao Jun's line, he raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, give it to me... Poof! Uh..."
However, a spiked arrow made him swallow the words he had not finished shouting. The hepatitis B iron bow in Huang Zhong's hand was like a sniper rifle with a 16x scope, killing whoever he clicked!
The distance between the two sides was only thirty steps. No matter how reluctant Yuan's soldiers were, they still had to have close contact with Cao's army.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound, like the loud sound of the tide hitting the coastal rocks. In the end, the two armies collided fiercely.
Xu Huang was carrying a mountain-cutting ax. After killing two enemies with one blow, he then raised the blood-stained ax and shouted: "Brothers, hold on!"
Cao Cao's army was small, and the carefully selected battlefield relied on the terrain to reduce the contact area of the army, temporarily solving the problem of insufficient thickness of Cao's army's lineup.
When the two sides began to fight in close combat, Cao Jun's fifty missing serial crossbowmen unexpectedly sneaked around to Ji Lingjun's flank at some point, and then "Bang Bang Bang!" was another volley!!
"Puff puff!" The sound of crossbow arrows entering the body was heard endlessly, and the screams of Sergeant Yuan's soldiers came one after another.
After a sudden sneak attack, Yuan Jun panicked for a while, and then the general organized a counterattack.
But the group of repeating crossbow soldiers were not at all reluctant to fight. When they saw someone from the enemy coming to kill them, they immediately turned around and ran away with their repeating crossbows in hand.
Running away after cumming is so exciting!
Ji Ling and the soldiers under his command hated these cunning crossbowmen to death.
However, since we don't have any organized cavalry here, it would be too difficult to hunt down these repeating crossbows.
By the time the infantry ran over, they would have already escaped. If they chased them deeper, they might be waiting for an ambush from Cao's army.
In desperation, the group of Yuan soldiers who chased for hundreds of steps could only return in vain. The fighting on the front line in contact with Cao's army had entered a fierce stage.
Ji Ling's army can be said to be one of the most elite armies under Yuan Shu's command.
But compared to Cao's army, whether it is equipment, training or morale, the gap between them is still not small.
Ji Ling saw that the battle before the formation had entered a stalemate, so he detached a partial division and began to attack Cao Jun's trebuchet position.
The trebuchet is Ji Ling's main target for sending troops this time.
If we don't get rid of the trebuchets and let them run stones to their own camp every day, it will be impossible to survive.
Seeing that Ji Ling's army consisted of two thousand people, they detoured and rushed towards the trebuchet position where he and others were.
Lu Yan said nothing, waved his hand and shouted one word: "Withdraw!"
Lu Yan knew that it couldn't be saved, and he had no intention of doing so. Anyway, there were craftsmen here, and it would take another day to build it tomorrow.
But Ji Ling didn't know that under normal circumstances, almost all of these weapons require a lot of time to build, and because of manpower and technology, the manufactured trebuchet may not be easy to use.
Lu Yan's twenty senior craftsmen showed incomparable value at moments like this.
Because as long as they are around, there will be a steady stream of catapults!
Xiahou Dun now treats them as treasures, even when building the trebuchet, he tries not to let them get involved. Aren't there those group of murderers who can do the rough and heavy work...
There are many people in Ji Ling, and Lu Yan's main goal is to consume them, and the more they consume, the faster Ji Ling's own problems may erupt.
Along the way, Yuan Jun's partial division encountered almost no decent obstruction, except for one or two rounds of sparse arrows.
Soon, the two thousand assault troops killed Cao Jun's trebuchets, and they turned towards the rear of Cao Jun, who was at a disadvantage with the Yuan family.
Lu Yan said to Le Jin next to him: "Wen Qian, do you dare to lead a reserve team of 500 and devour them?"
Five hundred versus two thousand, do you still want to devour the other party?
In most people's eyes, this might be due to drinking too much, but in Le Jin's eyes, this is the unparalleled respect and trust that Lu Yan gave him! He even got a little excited and started to show off.
Le Jin clasped his fists and shouted with all his strength: "The final general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Hussars General!"
"Go, let them see what true bravery is!" Lu Yan's tone was calm, but the encouragement in his words made Le Jinshou's blood boil!
"What is true bravery?" Le Jin turned his head, licked his lips and said, "The one who knows me is Lu Qiaoqi!"
Le Jin raised his spear, led the last 500 reserve soldiers, and rushed towards the Yuan army that had destroyed the trebuchet. At this moment, he launched a charge towards the Yuan army who was killing Cao Jun's side and rear!
"Boys, let these weak soldiers from Yuan Shu know what it means to be truly brave and fearless of death!!!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Le Jin's eyes were red, and he took the lead and charged towards Ji Ling's partial division.
Only five hundred people, led by the crazy lion Le Jin, actually gave the opponent the momentum of a ten thousand people charging!
Yuan's army of 2,000 soldiers actually showed some timidity when facing Cao's army of only 500 people...
But Le Jin doesn't care whether you are timid or not, he wants to prove that he is brave and worthy of Lu Yan's trust!
"Death!" Le Jin has a short appearance, but his body is extremely strong. Especially his fierce strength can make the enemy frighten even before fighting.
The general of Ji Ling's partial division glanced at the direction of the main formation and saw that the general had no intention of withdrawing his troops, so he had to bite the bullet and lead his soldiers to meet them.
The result was no surprise. In just one round, Ji Le stabbed the partial division general in the chest with a spear, killing the leading general of the team.
Five hundred people chased more than a thousand people jumping up and down, which actually added a bit of comedy effect to what could have been a brutal battle.
The corners of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and the corners of Ji Ling's eyes also twitched fiercely.
Ji Ling stood on the high ground and took a look at the partial troops who were being chased around, as well as the stalemate battle situation in front of the formation.
The goal of destroying the trebuchets had been achieved, but the chance of breaking the formation no longer existed, so after weighing the pros and cons, Ji Ling finally ordered a retreat.
"Ding ding ding!"
The sound of Ming Jin came from behind, and Ji Ling's soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly broke away from the entanglement with Cao Jun.
After closing the distance to fifty steps, they finally retreated like a tide.
Cao's army was also exhausted. If it weren't for the favorable location, it wouldn't have lasted so long, and he never even thought about pursuing it.
In this battle, Ji Ling's army lost more than 4,000 soldiers, but more than half of them were killed by crossbows and trebuchets. In the battle before the formation, the damage was not as much as before.
But what gave Ji Ling the biggest headache was the dozen or so grassroots generals who were "shot" to death by Huang Zhong. Without them, the command flexibility of the entire army suddenly dropped significantly.
By the end of the fight, the general didn't even dare to give orders.
Cao's army also suffered hundreds of casualties, most of which were shot over by bows and arrows.
Cao's soldiers were just stalling for time, and Yuan Shu's soldiers were happy to work hard. In the end, the two sides began to have a tacit understanding that they were only fighting with swords and were not willing to fight desperately.
