More than 600 people lined up in a circular formation from a high position. Under the slope, tens of thousands of thieves occupied the area for several miles in a dark mass! Li Damu was so proud that he began to command the army to attack!
Under the shouts of the horse army and the old camp, nearly two thousand young and hungry refugees were gathered together, and an infantry formation of nearly a thousand people was formed behind them. In one attack, an attack array of three thousand people was formed.
This shows that the Black Mountain bandits are eager to eat this official army.
The refugees were wearing dirty and worn-out clothes with no armor to cover their bodies. They mostly held spears and wooden sticks in their hands. From getting up early in the morning to now, they have ran all the way for more than 40 miles.
They were tired and hungry, and before they could rest for a while, they were being supervised by thieves who were gathering their troops to prepare for an attack.
These Black Mountain thieves who were just ordinary people not long ago were unwilling to attack the officers and soldiers, but when they thought of the nearly a thousand Montenegrin infantry behind them carrying steel knives and spears and staring fiercely at them, they could only bite the bullet.
Pin reluctantly gathered together.
Perhaps, only the smoke ignited after the battle formation can arouse their interest.
Zhang Jaw also let the soldiers take turns to eat some dry food and rest, while arranging defenses. The slope here is not high, only more than ten meters, and the top is a flat land with a radius of only fifty or sixty meters. There is no danger at all. Fortunately, here
There is a steep slope on the hillside, which can protect you from the attacks from all sides by the black bandits.
Zhang Jaw divided the 300 spearmen into two rows. The first row was on guard, and the remaining row took the time to rest. There was at least a nearly 200-meter defense line on the slope, and Zhang Jaw had no way to consider the thickness of the defense.
After the two rows of spearmen, there are no more than a hundred sword and shield bearers, who will help the spearmen resist attacks from the opponent's arrows. After them, three hundred archers form the main force to kill and injure the thieves.
The more than 600 Julu soldiers were extremely nervous at this moment. Although they had the fighting spirit to resist the Black Mountain bandits, no one could feel comfortable facing an enemy twenty times their size.
The Xuanwei officials were nervously making the final mobilization. It was they who gave this unit the greatest confidence. Zhang Jia kept looking around, anxiously looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, behind a hidden slope three miles away from the slope, 1,500 sergeants were crouching in the shade of trees and grass to recharge their batteries. Tian Feng gently shook his folding fan and stared closely at the distant slope.
The black mountain bandit army.
"Commander, let's go up, General Zhang may be in danger if we're late!"
Beside him, a captain in charge looked into the distance, slashing the grass with the sword in his hand, his face full of anxiety.
Tian Feng gently shook the folding fan, with a touch of firm confidence on his face. He looked at the dozens of smoke rising from the Black Mountain bandit army and said: "Don't worry, the thieves are cooking in the pot, wait a little longer."
, wait another half an hour!”
Under the urging of the traitors and soldiers, more than two thousand young and strong refugees rushed forward slowly. One cannot help but admire the survival wisdom displayed by these refugees in the face of the war. In just one stick of incense, many people no longer knew how to survive.
Where did I find wooden boards and iron pots as protective tools?
Behind them, hundreds of thieves and infantry holding crossbows followed the large group. As soon as they entered the range of the crossbows, they launched suppressive fire at the officers and soldiers on the breakthrough.
"Archers, come forward! Get ready!" Looking at the situation down the slope, he opened his jaw and looked solemn, raised his right arm, and three hundred archers were divided into three rows, with one hundred people in each row, crossing the spearmen array and standing at the forefront!
In front of them was a black mountain bandit army of nearly three thousand people!
The shooting range of the official bows and arrows is about 120 steps, and the effective killing distance is 80 steps. However, considering that the Black Mountain bandits do not wear armor and are now condescending, as long as they are hit by a crossbow within a hundred steps, they will be killed.
Loss of fighting ability.
He opened his eyes and stared at the approaching Black Mountain bandits, silently calculating the distance in his mind, and when he was about a hundred steps closer, he let out a loud shout!
"Fire the arrow!"
Following his order, hundreds of arrows roared and shot down the slope! The refugees made a noise and rushed forward in a swarm. A moment later, a series of screams sounded among the thieves!
In just one wave of arrows, fifty or sixty people among the thieves were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. A dozen of them were still shot in the vital organs. A young man was shot in the throat by an arrow. He was coughing up blood and his face was covered with blood.
He looked up at the sky unwillingly, but soon, that small corner of the sky was occupied by countless dirty feet.
"The second row comes forward and fire arrows!" Within five steps! The bandit soldiers ushered in the second wave of arrows. Dozens more bandit soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. There was no other way. The Black Mountain bandits were eager to capture the hillside. The hillside
The Black Mountain Bandits below are almost crowded and crowded.
"Third row, come forward!" The three hundred archers continued to shoot at the thieves below, with almost no need to aim. Each sharp arrow was shot out, and a puff of blood mist surged on the thieves opposite.
, staggered and fell to the ground, screaming repeatedly!
These young refugees who had never experienced war had never experienced such a continuous baptism of arrows. The heavy pressure brought by death gave them no time to breathe. Many young people who were hungry and thirsty could not put on their clothes in one breath.
When everything went dark, he fell to the ground on the spot. In just seven or eight waves of arrows, hundreds of people were killed and injured. Two thousand people rushed in front of him. The Black Mountain refugees could no longer bear the fear in their hearts. I don't know who shouted,
He rolled and crawled backwards to escape!
The people rushing behind were already extremely frightened at this time. They were originally unwilling to be hostile to such a tough army. When they saw someone running away, they yelled and looked like they were collapsing. There was a sudden explosion in the front army.
The pot exploded, leaving three to four hundred corpses behind, retreating like a tidal wave!
"The mob!" Looking at the thieves retreating hastily, he opened his jaw and snorted coldly, but he did not dare to take it lightly and hurriedly ordered the archers to move their arms.
"NND! Swordsman! Come forward! Whoever dares to retreat will be punished by military law!" Seeing this, Li Damu fiercely threw the bowl of broth in his hand to the ground. The refugee who had just brought the broth was
He swooped up, picked up the hot piece of meat on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the fact that it was covered with mud!
Li Damu was furious. He kicked the skinny refugee far away and cursed fiercely.
Bai Que, who was eating next to him, smiled disdainfully and said, "Commander Li, this is not how you attack the mountain. The officers and soldiers have sharp bows and arrows, and the people are mobilized to advance, but it is just an increase in casualties. Uh, is it possible?"
Li Damu smiled proudly and said: "Shuai Bai still has some eyesight. There are only six or seven hundred officers and soldiers, so how many arrows can be wasted? These refugees can only waste food. Even if there are 1,800 casualties, what's the pity!"
Bai Que's face turned red, and he turned around and said to a young handsome man under his command: "Let brothers eat quickly! It's important to go rescue Yi Yang quickly."
While he was talking, hundreds of Black Mountain swordsmen and axemen had already rushed forward, slashing with their sharp Nian-shou swords, and hundreds of big heads fell to the ground!
