Water has no permanent shape, and soldiers have no permanent potential.
In wars in the cold weapon era, especially battles in which both sides have their own strengths, the variables are usually very variable. Until the dust settles, it is difficult to determine who will lose and who will win.
Just like the Western proverb about "from nails to country's subjugation", morale, weather, off-field factors, there are too many things that can affect the outcome of a battle.
In this ambush battle, the Qingzhou Army took the lead. They not only had the advantage of ambush and surprise attack, but also had the advantage of the location. On the hillsides on both sides, they were condescending, unwinding their bows and arrows, sending the breath of death down the mountain, every time.
Every moment, dozens of lives are harvested.
However, despite heavy casualties, the Jizhou Army was not without a chance to make a comeback.
The area of the valley is limited. In order to maintain concealment, the Qingzhou Army in the ambush must not be too large. If the ambush is too dense, even if they have above-average concealment methods, they may be seen through, causing the entire plan to fall short.
The number of troops was small to begin with, and they were divided into two groups. Therefore, after suffering heavy losses, the Jizhou Army's strength was still superior to that of the ambushers.
I wanted to turn defeat into victory, but all I got was an opportunity.
Yan Liang's outburst provided this opportunity. His personal guards were already tough, but they were inspired by the general's great power. They were completely red-eyed. Facing the rain of arrows in the sky, they screamed and rushed forward.
Without blinking an eye.
The desperate attack launched by two hundred people was not too threatening. The greater effect was that they pointed out the direction for the Jizhou Army who was holding his head and being beaten at the foot of the mountain. In this kind of chaotic battle, the most feared thing is to wander and stay in place.
After thinking about things, until I figure out a reason, I'm afraid the army will no longer exist.
It can also be seen from this that the combination of Yan Liang and Qian Zhao is very complementary.
The former has courage and courage, and dares to fight at critical moments; the latter has little courage and martial arts, but responds quickly and does not act sloppily. He quickly thought of a way to deal with it and immediately pointed it out to Yan Liang.
Then, the latter rushed forward, seemingly smoothly, before he saw it he rushed halfway up the mountain and entered the range of hand-to-hand combat.
Is there hope for a comeback?
Qianzhao was overjoyed. When he proposed to Yan Liang, he did not expect such a result. After being ambushed and suffering heavy casualties, did the morale of the army collapse? When Yan Liang launched an assault, how many people would follow? These are all unknown, normal circumstances
Come on, the army should be almost dispersed.
It can only be said that tricking Yan Liang into counterattacking is the best way to do it. With Yan Liang's martial arts, he can at least attract the attention of the ambush soldiers for a certain period of time. In this way, Qianzhao himself can hope to take the opportunity to escape.
As a result, things went smoothly, beyond his imagination.
Two hundred personal guards spontaneously formed a defensive formation. Depending on their positions, the soldiers bent their waists and faced different directions. They held their circular riding shields in front of, beside, or above their heads to protect each other.
, resisting arrows shot from all directions.
There was nothing profound about this formation, but it miraculously blocked most of the arrows. Even the concentrated crossfire of the Qingzhou Army failed to achieve sufficient results.
As if God had come to pull things off course, a strong wind suddenly blew at the mouth of the valley in the east. In the winter when the northeasterly wind prevailed, this situation was not surprising at all, but it greatly interfered with the Qingzhou Army's shooting.
A strong wind blew up, and the arrows suddenly lost their strength and accuracy. A rare opening appeared in the originally airtight attack.
"God help our army! Brothers, kill, kill!" Yan Liang was overjoyed and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Kill!" All the guards shouted in agreement, straightened up, and rushed up the mountain with great speed. Reflecting the setting sun of winter, the cold light of the swords in their hands flashed, and the chilling air filled the entire valley!
"Kill - ah!" A burst of earth-shattering shouts erupted from the foot of the mountain. The suppressed Jizhou Army also discovered this rare opportunity and jumped out of hiding. Without hesitation, they exposed their backs to the arrows of the Nanshan ambush.
Down.
While charging fiercely, some people hit the leather shields with swords, making a distinct rhythmic thumping sound, like war drums to encourage their comrades. More than two hundred Jizhou troops who rushed in front of the enemy marched to the beat of the drums.
Pounce forward quickly, like a mad tiger.
With the right timing and harmony, at this moment, the advantage of geographical location was weakened to the extreme!
The situation seems to be really about to turn around.
"Let's go!" In Liu Bei's opinion, this was the case, so he made the wisest choice immediately.
"Brother?" Guan Yu hesitated. It was not his style to abandon his allies and walk alone when the situation was unfavorable.
"Since General Wang set up an ambush here in advance, he is always fully prepared. You and I brothers don't have to mix it up to avoid causing chaos to General Wang. The two armies are fighting. Second brother, how much difference can you make by yourself? Don't forget
Yes, you are already injured!"
After realizing what kind of plot he had been subjected to, how could Liu Bei regard Wang Yu as an ally again? If possible, he wished that the Qingzhou Army and Yan Liang would perish together.
Waiting for the two sides to decide the winner? What a joke! Is that still possible?
If the Qingzhou Army wins, he may have the opportunity to collect some of the defeated troops, but what next? Will he take a small number of remaining soldiers to face Wang Yu? Who knows what other means the seemingly generous but actually treacherous villain has prepared to deal with him?
Only one thing is certain, the result of joining Wang Yu is that he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
The Jizhou Army's victory was even worse. With such a huge loss, Yan Liang's temper was about to go crazy. Calculating the old and new grudges together, it would be strange if he didn't get chopped into pieces!
Everyone is dead on both sides, so the best way is of course to get away as quickly as possible while the dogs on both sides bite the dogs!
If there is no chance to collect the defeated troops, then there is nothing we can do. Just think of paying the tuition. Who will let others be more skilled and have deeper strategies? As long as you stay alive, there will always be a chance to make a comeback.
Just now when Yan Liang launched an attack and Guan Yu stepped forward to fight, Liu Bei deceived his adopted brother back by deceiving him; now, he is really going to withdraw.
"Let's go!" Pulling Guan Yu and calling Jian Yong, Liu Bei rushed down the mountain without looking back. He rushed to the mouth of the valley in one breath and then breathed a sigh of relief. Turning back to look back at Beishan, his eyes were filled with resentment and a trace of resentment.
The taste of schadenfreude.
No matter how many mountains you climb, you will eventually encounter a tiger. No matter how hard it is, the little thief will tear the net and jump out to bite the fish that fell into the net, right? This is God's will, haha, you deserve it!
Facing the Jizhou Army's desperate counterattack, the Qingzhou Army seemed a little ill-prepared. Their formation was too scattered. The Jizhou Army's offensive was so swift and fierce that it exceeded expectations. The gust of wind came at the wrong time.
Dozens of Qingzhou soldiers in the front row put down their bows and arrows, raised their spears, and lined up in two rows, forming a weak sniper formation. At the moment when the two armies began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they stabbed with their spears, and more than a dozen warriors were killed.
The spear penetrated his chest and he died on the spot. The remaining ones used their knives to push the spear point away and howled into the Qingzhou army.
Spears stabbed from all sides, turning a few Jizhou warriors who rushed too fast into a hornet's nest. The blood made a hissing sound and splashed everywhere. At the same time, gaps appeared in the Qingzhou Army's formation, and several tall and tall warriors appeared in the formation.
The strong Jizhou soldiers swung their swords in the gap, slashing out several waves of blood.
"Keep the formation, the first row retreats, the second row moves forward!"
The leader of the Qingzhou Army was a village chief. Seeing his brothers falling down with blood splattered, his eyes flashed with hatred, but his expression was very calm and showed no impulsiveness at all. He shouted to remind his brothers
They maintained their formation, waving their spears vigorously, and moved around to kill the enemy troops that rushed towards them.
When the wind dies down and the bows and arrows start to show off again, the situation will be back on track.
However, contrary to expectations, the strong northeast wind refused to let up, and more and more Jizhou troops rushed forward. They risked their lives one by one, and in a few breaths, the Qingzhou army was forced back dozens of steps.
The continuously retreating sniper formation drew more and more Qingzhou troops into the battle, but the number never increased, showing how fierce the battle was.
"Kill, kill! The thief who fired the secret arrow will not be able to hold on any longer!"
Because of the battle with Guan Yu, Yan Liang was relatively behind, and the person in charge of the command was a team leader in the front row. The command during the assault was not complicated. He shouted loudly while hitting each other with the sword and leather shield in his hand.
Continuously, like a war drum, adjusting the morale and offensive rhythm of his subordinates.
The attention of the archers was attracted by his actions, and they turned their bows and arrows towards this high-value target. However, the Jizhou Army did not just attack blindly, but maintained sufficient vigilance. The arrows were affected by the wind and weakened.
With his precise aim and strength, he was easily deflected by the guards led by the Jizhou team.
Seeing this, the Jizhou Army's offensive became even more fierce.
At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the wind! It was like the roar of a tiger or the roar of a giant dragon, whistling and neighing, coming through the air!
The leader of the Jizhou team who was shouting excitedly heard the exclamations of his soldiers. He knew something was wrong, so he didn't care to look too much and quickly raised his shield to save himself. His reaction was very fast. As soon as he raised his shield, he felt the sound coming from the surface of the shield.
A huge force.
Blocked?
No, that's not right!
There was no time to think, no time to rejoice, the force coming from the shield was too great! It tore the thick rawhide like paper, then continued forward, pressed against his arm, stabbed his chest, and penetrated
Two layers of leather armor, flesh and blood, ribs, and back pushed him down and nailed him to the ground.
"Ah..." The shouting suddenly stopped. With disbelief on his face, the Jizhou team held the arrow shaft that had pierced his body with both hands and struggled desperately. Black blood gurgled along his mouth, nostrils and ears.
He came out and dyed the dead branches and leaves around him red.
Until he breathed his last breath, he still couldn't believe that in such a wind, someone could actually break the shield and kill people with the power of an arrow? Even if he threw a gun, it might not be so powerful, right?
"Thieves, don't be so arrogant!" A figure jumped out from behind the formation. Compared with the power of the shocking arrow, this figure was not very tall, but as soon as he appeared, the Jizhou Army knew that the arrow came from this person.
The big black bow he held in his hand was the best proof!
There were a lot of burdens on his hands, and there were rugged mountains under his feet, but his movements were not hindered at all. The rabbit rose and the falcon fell, as agile as the wind. As his body rose and fell, the string opened and the moon was full, and another arrow was resting on the string.
, this time there were two. He didn’t even take aim, he opened his bow from left to right, and the long arrow accurately pointed at the other two officers commanding the battle - a team leader and a camp commander!
Whistling again, the long arrow flew a distance of more than twenty steps under the gaze of countless people, hitting the first target quickly back, and then hit a dead tree, firmly connecting the human body to the trunk; The second target was hit by the huge impact and flew into the air, knocked out of the crowd, and rolled directly down the mountainside.
Three arrows destroyed the formation, with unparalleled power! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
