"Tomorrow we will attack the pavilion. Anyone who can climb it first will be given the upper field and upper house by the official official of the country. Huo Ranwen ena`"
So he braved the high temperature and the chaotic situation around him and kept urging his men to surround Qu Yi. As long as Qu Yi was left here, his thousands of elite soldiers would not be able to form a formation to defend the enemy without their commander.
, this was Hou Cheng's idea. But Qu Yi didn't want to fight with him here. He didn't say anything, turned around and walked back. The soldiers around him stepped forward to fight with Hou Cheng and others.
.
In the endless fire, the two sides quickly came together in a melee. Some of them had seen them on the battlefield in Qi State and other places. At this time, they were all red-eyed. They raised their swords and dropped them, and blood mist flew.
Soldiers of our enemy and ours fell down one by one. Some of them screamed in pain before dying, and some of them hugged the enemy tightly and used their last strength to send out a knife. The other soldiers who did not fall continued to be entangled with each other, still fighting to the death.
While they were fighting, only the tall battle flag with the word "Hou" in the camp was fluttering silently in the night wind and heat waves.
In the end, Hou Cheng failed to keep Qu Yi on the mountain. After finally killing all of Qu Yi's remaining soldiers, Hou Cheng learned that Qu Yi had already retreated to the foot of the mountain with more than 2,000 remaining soldiers. He hesitated for a moment.
, after all, he suddenly found himself in an ambush at this dusk time. Although Qu Yi, as the commander, could still remain calm, the same could not be said for the soldiers under his command. At this time, the morale of both sides was rising and falling, and Qu Yi led the troops again.
No matter how extraordinary it is, it is impossible to reverse the situation.
Of course, these are Hou Cheng's own thoughts.
When he was eager for great success, he led his troops and rushed down the mountain. As soon as he came out of the forest, what he saw was a reorganized military formation. Although everyone looked disgraced and embarrassed, they were in Quyi.
Under the command and control of the army, they finally took the lead and established a military formation of more than 2,000 people, including thousands of people armed with crossbows, short spears and wearing light armor.
Taking advantage of the firelight on the top of the mountain, what Hou Cheng saw was this scene. He vaguely felt that he had returned to the time when he first attacked Qu Yi's camp in Qi State, but this time he clearly won first.
Man, how did the situation change so suddenly?
Although the soldiers and horses under Hou Cheng were carefully selected by Lu Bu, looking back, this army was hastily recruited by Lu Bu after he came to Beihai last year. Although the people of Qingzhou have always been tall and strong, there are many people in Beihai.
The young bandits and bandits can be organized into an army, but when it comes to combat power, they are still not the elite private soldiers under Qu Yi who are proficient in Qiang warfare. Even if they were prepared to defeat the unprepared, now when they see the movement on the other side, not only are they...
Hou Cheng, even the group of soldiers and horses under him were secretly frightened in their hearts.
"This is deliberately creating momentum, trying to scare us from attacking." Hou Cheng said to himself. He deliberately used a loud voice so that everyone around him could hear. "They have been losing for a while, and now they are at the end of the war."
Well, if we don’t take advantage of the situation and pursue it, wouldn’t we be missing out on a great achievement?”
So these words made everyone relax a lot. Yes, the opponent has been beaten like this by him. It's a shame to get into such a scary posture. How can he use this to fight back? Under Hou Cheng's encouragement and command
, each of these soldiers straightened up, held their shields in their hands, and formed a charging formation according to the instructions, preparing to break through Qu Yi's army formation.
First, as soon as a team of hundreds of people approached, a golden watch was knocked in the military formation, and then a sharp sound broke through the air. From the firelight burning down the mountain, you could see that the sky was full of fine particles.
Long arrows flew like locusts. Just when the man in front was about to squat down and raise his shield, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and thigh.
When he lowered his head to look, a few short arrows trembled slightly in his chest, and blood flowed out from the wound uncontrollably. His hands could no longer lift the heavy shield. When he looked up, he saw another densely packed area.
The rain penetrated the bright red firelight, and the sound in the ears continued to amplify, but in the end nothing could be heard.
"It's a crossbow!"
This is what many people thought before they fell. Each of the hundreds of people who rushed to the front had a few arrows stuck in their bodies. The crossbow was a must-have weapon for the elite men of Qu Yi. They usually carried it on their backs, but just now they suddenly
When encountering an ambush, the crowd was in a panic, and the terrain was limited and it was difficult to exert the power of the crossbow. At this time, Qu Yi led more than a thousand people and ran down the mountain, seizing precious time, allowing him to regain confidence in the army and arrange the battle.
It was with the help of these hundreds of private soldiers that they ascended first, defeated the cavalry on foot at the boundary bridge, and defeated Gongsun Zan's proud white horse Yi Cong. From then on, he became famous in one battle, and these more than 800 people were also killed in Yuan Shao's army.
It was called the "Xianden Camp". Now Qu Yi took the remaining Xianden Camp to set up a temporary formation, hoping to block the opponent and take the opportunity to escape.
When Hou Cheng saw this familiar military formation, he was filled with hatred. Instead of asking people to retreat, he continuously sent a large number of soldiers, vowing to defeat Qu Yi. The two sides were too close, and powerful crossbows could often hit people with one blow.
Deadly, the soldiers behind could not help but be afraid, turned around and ran a few steps, and were nailed to the ground by the arrows fired from behind. It seemed that it was just a matter of breath. More than half of the soldiers sent by Hou Cheng to attack were killed by the crossbow arrows.
The rest of them finally rushed to the front of the formation, but were suddenly stabbed to the ground by the short spear protruding from behind the crossbowman.
The opponent's army was advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, without any signs of panic. How could this be the defeated army that had just been chased down the mountain? In comparison, the opponent was more like an ambush!
"If we continue fighting like this, we will not only be able to turn danger into safety, but also turn defeat into victory." The deputy general simply bandaged the wound and stood next to Qu Yi and said.
"These are the elites I brought from Xiping." Qu Yi glanced at the soldiers under his command who were methodically blocking and killing the enemy, with a pained look on his face, "Most of them will be lost today. As the commander-in-chief, I am the leader of all of them.
He was momentarily unaware and fell into an ambush. Otherwise, how could he have ended up in this situation?"
"Why would the general say such a thing?" the deputy general asked curiously, "Although we were defeated for the first time, we actually didn't suffer many casualties. Most of them were panicked and fled into the mountains and forests. We just waited for Hou Cheng to be defeated."
If you calmly gather the remaining soldiers, we will win this battle."
"You don't understand." The more dangerous the moment, Qu Yi will be extra calm. Even if he sees his hometown disciples die in front of him one by one, he still doesn't have any depressed or excessive emotions. Qu Yichong
The deputy general waved his hand and said in a very firm tone, "Send someone to prepare an escape route. Wait until I defeat General Hou Cheng, and then we can choose a way to leave under the cover of night."
The deputy general said in disbelief, "What?"
The battle situation at this time was before our eyes. It was clearly Qu Yi's military formation that gradually reversed the situation. At the beginning, it was only the most elite and calmest private soldiers under Qu Yi's command who were in front. After winning back a few battles, those
The still panicked soldiers began to gradually calm down and regained confidence in their own side. Although the crossbow arrows would be exhausted soon, they still had a spear formation. This was a tactic Qu Yi learned from the Qiang people of Liangzhou.
In addition to crossbows, it is the second killer weapon against the enemy.
Hou Cheng's face turned pale, he was angry and frightened, and his whole body was shaking. He angrily said to his subordinates who had retreated, "How many times have I suffered losses under Qu Yi? Now that they have been beaten like this, if they can't
If defeated, we will have no face in the world from now on!"
