Chapter 137 The brave who meet in a narrow road wins (for I want to live for decades 9)
Smoke and dust billowed in the distance. Huang Ping asked the guard beside him in surprise: "How many people are here, one or two thousand?"
The guard said confidently in the tone of an old expert: "Four to five thousand."
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Nothing less, not more."
Huang Ping squeezed out a moan filled with fear from his throat, "Who can win?"
Veins appeared on the back of the guard's hand holding the handle of the knife, and his voice softened, "I hope it's us."
That means there is no chance?
Huang Ping's legs were trembling a little.
"Taiping, really peaceful!"
He turned his eyes and saw a clerk standing on the right, with a calm expression that made people think he was watching the scenery.
But his legs seem to be shaking?
Huang Ping thought he had found a comrade-in-arms, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the clerk's legs stopped shaking again.
"Sven, go on."
The clerk took a spear thrown by others, weighed it a few times, and said, "Let it drink the blood of the enemy today!"
What a hot-blooded man!
"Why didn't he move?" King Wei said coldly: "At this moment, it's time to rush into the battle and destroy the enemy's edge."
Yang Xuan didn't move, he was looking into the distance.
Smoke and dust kept approaching.
Someone beside Nan He was estimating the distance.
"Three hundred steps... more than three hundred steps."
A middle-aged sergeant was sweating profusely. He was obviously nervous and had lost confidence.
Nan He snorted lightly, "How much?"
The middle-aged sergeant took a deep breath, "It seems like more than three hundred..."
This person is unreliable!
The old thief whispered: "That man is called Shi Tan, and he is also a goldsmith. In our field, distance measurement is called accurate. It's just that the villain can't see far away... let Shi Tan do the distance measurement."
What the hell.
Still a tomb robber!
But the crossbow has a range of 150 steps.
If the distance measurement is inaccurate and the crossbow misses early, the enemy's morale will be greatly boosted, while our own morale will be greatly reduced.
If it's too late, the crossbow arrows will fall behind the enemy, which will make people laugh to death!
Nan He's face became more angry and he wanted to kill someone.
Seeing that Shi Tan was sweating profusely, the old thief sighed: "I don't have enough experience, I still need to practice."
He tried his best to raise his head and squint while on horseback, but the sunlight in front of Te's mother was a little dazzling, and his old eyes couldn't see clearly!
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yang Xuan extending his right arm forward, giving a thumbs up with his right hand, squinting...
Then, open and close the left and right eyes alternately.
Open your mouth.
"Two hundred steps!"
Nan He and the tomb robber Shi Tan were startled, and both looked at Yang Xuan.
"Mr. Lang!"
The war horses are galloping.
Yang Xuan crossed his eyes and closed his eyes again.
"One hundred and eighty steps!"
Nanheleng.
"One hundred and sixty steps!"
Yang Xuan raised his hand.
Swing down violently!
At the top of the city, King Wei looked at the enemy who killed his brother-in-law and said coldly: "I didn't see the others, but I saw him reaching out for every detail."
The guard beside him hurriedly sent a rainbow fart, "The rangefinders in the army are all veteran soldiers with many years of experience. They do nothing else and only focus on the matter of rangefinder. Yang Ming's house... is a bit arrogant."
hehe!
The guard smiled silently.
"Fire the arrow!"
Yang Xuan's shout came.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The sound of triggering the crossbow came intensively.
Black clouds rose into the sky.
Plunge forward.
The people at the top of the city followed with their eyes...
Nan He and others' eyes were also following.
If the shot is not accurate, morale will be lost.
The black cloud drifted over.
Falling headlong.
It's like a flower blooming in the dense array.
A bloody flower!
And it blooms in the middle.
The war horse was hit by an arrow and fell violently. The knight on the horse screamed, and then the sounds of various fractures were heard.
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
How could Mingfu's distance measurement be so accurate?
Shi Tan was ashamed and admired, and the two emotions were intertwined, causing the expression on his face to change. Then he shouted: "The villain is willing to become a disciple of Mingfu!"
Nan He kicked him and cursed: "You are so beautiful!" But he himself was confused, thinking that I have been in the army for nothing for many years, and I am not as good as Mr. Lang.
"Squeak!"
The crossbow was cocked again.
This time without Yang Xuan's command, Zhao Youcai shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The second wave of crossbow arrows flew away.
"Archer!"
There is a crossbow for long range and a longbow for short range.
The enemy's morale dropped sharply under the attack of two waves of crossbow arrows.
At the top of the city, when he saw the enemy troops dismounting and forming formation, the coldness in King Wei's eyes dissipated a little.
Huang Ping glanced at the guard and said, "Your Majesty, we are going to fight."
Although King Wei said that he had cultivated his skills, he had never gone into battle to fight. At this moment, he was breathing heavily and wished he could ride his horse into battle.
"Here we come." King Wei squinted at the enemy troops preparing to charge forward, "It's time for the spears."
He stared at both sides.
The guards around him were 'teaching', "What is needed at this time is courage. Whichever side has the courage will be more calm. Only when you are calm can you use it...here it comes!"
Boom!
After countless collision sounds, screams exploded.
The enemy soldiers who were pierced by the spears were unable to die for a moment, and howled miserably.
"Well done!" King Wei patted the city head, turned around and prepared to go down.
The two guards quickly hugged him, "Your Majesty, you can't!"
The King of Han glared, "Get out!"
"It's begun, Your Majesty!" Huang Ping took a different approach and shouted: "The enemy is ready to retreat."
After just one contact, the enemy general decisively withdrew his men.
Several enemy generals are discussing.
"Khan said he would capture Taiping, but it seems difficult at the moment."
"There are hundreds of Taiping troops at the top of the city."
"The Khan said that if they could not attack the city, they would destroy their spring plowing."
Hua Zhuo's flexible tactics made several generals feel relieved and immediately praised, "Khan is wise."
"Khan is wise." The last general praised in summary, with a loud voice and the most pious expression.
The general looked at this man with fearful eyes, feeling that he was a powerful rival in his official career, and then asked:
"What do you think?"
"Horses trample on seedlings!"
On the Taiping Army side, everyone is also discussing.
"Lang Jun, the enemy has no intention of fighting." Nan He said.
"I can see it."
Yang Xuan said, "Hua Zhuo's harassment does not seem to be an attack on Taiping."
"Your Majesty." The guard at the head of the city said the same thing, "The enemy has no intention of fighting, which shows that they do not want to attack Taiping County."
King Wei frowned, feeling that this battle was not that simple, "Then where else can they attack?"
The guard was puzzled.
A thought suddenly popped into Huang Ping's mind, "Spring plowing!"
King Wei snorted, "What spring plowing?"
As a prince, King Wei is so extravagant that he has no friends. And the prince cannot be involved in politics, so he has no idea about spring plowing.
"Your Majesty, spring plowing means plowing in spring, and then there will be a harvest."
During the reign of Emperor Wu, the princes would follow him to farm every year. After the reign of Li Yuan and his son, their minds were filled with power and enjoyment, and their sons even became enemies... There was no such thing as farming.
Spring plowing!
What spring plowing?
If you don’t cultivate, there will be nothing to eat!
The court has to give me countless amounts of money and food every year, so I have enough to eat.
The people have nothing to eat!
common people...
Who is that?
Is it tasty?
King Wei nodded, "On the way here, I saw farmers busy in the fields. This is farming. It seems that Hua Zhuo wants to destroy this year's spring plowing. The people will have no food, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will have another headache."
The guard glanced at King Wei.
Everyone who heard this looked at King Wei.
At least this guy isn't some idiot who doesn't eat minced meat.
fine!
King Wei was a little annoyed under these looks, and pointed to the city, "Go and ask, I am going to attack!"
Huang Ping shrank his neck under the ferocious gaze, "Your Majesty, this is war time, and you cannot move without military orders, otherwise..."
"Can he still kill me?" There was a hint of gloom in King Wei's eyes.
His brother-in-law!
The letter has already been sent to Qianzhou.
He had some idea of how the princess would react.
"The enemy troops began to withdraw."
The enemy troops mounted their horses and lined up, and someone shouted: "I'll let you wait until next year to eat shit!"
"They are going to destroy our seedlings!"
The city was blown up.
As a place of exile, and with many enemies around, Taiping mainly relied on the Ministry of Household Affairs for financial support. However, the amount of food given by the Ministry of Household Affairs every year was pitifully small, just enough to keep everyone from starving to death.
Only farming can fill your stomach.
In previous years, there were evil horse thieves causing trouble, so it was impossible to farm in peace.
But after the two battles last year and this year, two groups of big horse thieves were wiped out, the environment has never been better, making everyone look forward to the beauty of full grain warehouses in autumn.
The horse thief didn't come.
The Vashe tribe has arrived.
I haven’t posted anything these days!
In the array, the eyes of the soldiers were red.
"Someone wants to destroy our jobs, what should we do?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
King Wei and others at the top of the city were startled by the shouts, and saw Yang Xuan raising his hand, "Chase them and chop them to death!"
"Somewhat like a bad boy." Huang Ping stroked his beard.
The guard looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, the infantry is chasing the cavalry. Once the cavalry turns around and charges, the infantry may collapse at any time."
King Wei said in a deep voice: "Watch carefully, if something goes wrong, prepare your horse, I will kill the enemy!"
"Kill!"
The array begins to trot.
Rows of sergeants struggled to maintain formation and catch up.
The enemy general was overjoyed, "They actually took the initiative to attack?"
"Let's attack."
Someone suggested.
"Wait a minute, run for a while." The enemy general said slyly: "After running two miles, their feet will be sore and their legs will be numb. Then we can attack again."
Run!
The two sides were running one after the other.
The enemy has horses, but they don't run very fast, just like walking a dog, keeping a distance that's neither too far nor too close.
The distance between two miles is neither far nor close.
"Let the brothers spread out." Yang Xuan ordered: "Just like when we first practiced, the more embarrassed the better."
As a result, the formation of the Taiping Army began to scatter, and the soldiers stumbled around.
"The opportunity has come."
The enemy general had been observing the situation of the Taiping Army. When he saw this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Attack!"
Thousands of enemy cavalry began to circle.
"Prepare!"
The Taiping Army stopped.
"Quick, prepare your crossbow!"
"Archer!"
"Lance!"
Nan He was yelling and cursing.
The enemy troops formed their formation and began to accelerate.
"Spread out the array in front." Yang Xuan scolded: "You are so brave, you are holding your head high and your chest is trying to die! Spread out more, the spears are crooked, yes, just look like you are defeated."
Nan He praised: "Lang Jun wanted to catch the enemy by surprise."
"Steal the chicken!" Suzaku shouted.
Yang Xuan squinted at the enemy troops rushing towards him, and said calmly: "The enemy general will see that our army's formation is not in order, so he naturally wants to use his war horses to overwhelm us, so let's do it."
"Crush them."
The enemy general shouted.
Thousands of riders just arrived like this.
"It only takes one round of crossbow arrows." Yang Xuan calmly ordered: "One quick round of bows and arrows, and then... launch an attack in the opposite direction. Ye Ye will tell Hua Zhuo today that if he wants to go head-to-head, then be prepared to suffer."
"Fire arrows!" The crossbow didn't fire once until the enemy entered a hundred paces range.
The enemy general felt that this was the reaction of the Taiping troops after they fled and dispersed.
"quick!"
He rushed over with thousands of horses.
One round of bow and arrow.
Enemy troops are approaching.
A loud shout suddenly broke out from the sluggish Taiping Army array.
"Stab them to death!"
Yang Xuan raised his hand.
"Kidney shot!" Suzaku shouted.
"Kill!"
Row after row of arrays suddenly raised their spears.
The sharp spear tip caused the war horse to subconsciously slow down and stop.
Ear!
The war horse kept neighing.
"Kill the enemy!"
Yang Xuan waved.
Rows of sergeants trotted away with their rifles drawn.
The enemies who were competing with their own horses were dumbfounded.
The enemy general shouted: "Quick, rush over!"
His only option was to rush forward, otherwise he would die.
The distance between the two sides is too close!
"kill!"
Rows of spears stabbed the enemies off their horses.
After being stabbed by a spear, the war horse jumped wildly or fell to the ground.
He was immediately stabbed to death.
"kill!"
Rows and rows of arrays marched in neatly.
The enemy general shouted: "Dismount and kill them!"
Now only a melee can solve the problem.
The enemy troops dismounted in confusion and then rushed over.
At the top of the city, Huang Ping exclaimed: "We are going to be strangled. Can the Taiping Army resist it?"
King Wei pressed his hands heavily on the city head and dug his fingers into the rammed earth.
From the side, Zhen Siwen said calmly: "Our Taiping Army is invincible!"
The man who spoke so confidently and calmly must be a brave man.
The people of King Wei all looked at him with suspicion.
Cao Ying said calmly: "If Lang Jun is in command, he will definitely scare the enemy today!"
King Wei looked at these people coldly and held the handle of the knife.
Then he looked ahead.
He is looking for Yang Xuan!
The enemy troops are rushing towards us like crazy.
Those eyes filled with wildness and cruelty were filled with bloodthirsty light at this moment.
"Kill all the Tang people and seize everything we see!"
The aliens from the grasslands come and go when they want. When they have nothing, they come to the Central Plains to plunder. When they have no women, they come to the Central Plains to plunder. When they don’t want to come, they come to the Central Plains to plunder...
Yang Xuan raised his hand from behind, "Today, let the enemy see the sharpness of my Tang Dynasty man. Send the order! The whole army attacks!"
The flag bearer behind him waved the flag crazily.
Someone shouted: "The Ming government has an order!"
Everyone listens attentively!
"All troops attack!"
One by one, the soldiers turned around and looked.
Their Mingfu raised his sword high, looked at the enemy with bright eyes, and then pointed his sword forward.
"assault!"
Amid cheers, the Taiping Army began to run.
The enemy soldiers were stunned.
Then rows of spears were stabbed intensively.
"This is a battle of courage!" Yang Xuan said calmly, "Courage is on my side, the man of the Tang Dynasty, send the signal!"
Three sergeants behind him blew their horns.
Woo woo woo...
Woo woo woo...
Woo woo woo...
Ahead, the enemy troops were overwhelmed by this wave of assault.
The enemy general was trying his best to boost his morale, but one thought lingered in his mind.
He slipped two miles away from the Taiping Army, and his speed was not slow, but how could these beasts still have the energy to run wildly?!
This is impossible!
He didn't see the content of the Taiping Army's daily drills.
I didn’t see the scene where the sergeants were beaten with sticks and continued running after vomiting.
"No, it collapsed."
This kind of close combat relies on courage.
As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
The courage of the Taiping Army continues unabated!
The enemy's morale was already on the verge of collapse after two rounds of blows.
"Failed!"
The enemy general was carried away and turned around and ran wildly.
Everyone mounted their horses and ran away.
Rows of broken soldiers behind him were stabbed to death.
Someone looked up and screamed.
"It's Tang Jun!"
Just ahead, three hundred Taiping cavalry, led by a general holding an ax in both hands, were speeding up.
King Wei descended from the city and came galloping with dozens of horses.
He saw Yang Xuan rushing forward with dozens of cavalry.
The Taiping soldiers moved out of the way.
While raising his arms and cheering towards Yang Xuan.
