According to Gongsun Shu's original words: "Monarchs, since ancient times, have been surrendered as if they were facing an enemy. The same principle applies to assisting others. You must be prepared to assist others when facing the enemy."
Although Zhou Xing's first reaction was that Gongsun Shu was over-concerned, after pondering for a while, he thought about the phenomenon of porcelain that was often encountered in that world, and he finally agreed to Gongsun Shu's proposal.
But even after two days of slow travel, the team's mental outlook was significantly better than the previous few days, but it was still not as high as usual.
Even with Zhou Xing's profound cultivation, although he had no problem with his physical strength, he felt mentally exhausted after traveling long distances for more than ten days in a row.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that in my first battle, I was beaten by the enemy and left to wait for work." Zhou Xing thought bitterly in his heart, "If I hadn't accepted the advice humbly, if I hadn't had the attribute Gongsun Shu, I'm afraid if I don't even need to fight now, I'll be taken over by the other party."
At this time, he was no longer on the horse. Instead, he picked up a small bag and fed his horse some bean cakes. His first battalion of the elite troops of the Bodao people were all sitting cross-legged on the ground. Some were eating dry food and some were drinking water.
When he first discovered that an enemy was approaching, Gongsun Shu's immediate order was for everyone to sit on the ground and seize every possible moment to recover their strength. However, only Gongsun Shu himself sat on his mount and looked at the approaching enemy troops from a distance. , calculating the distance between the two sides.
The opponent's pressing speed was neither fast nor slow. He didn't shout loudly, he just walked at a leisurely pace.
"The leader of the army on the opposite side is definitely someone who has been in the army for a long time. He is a difficult opponent." Gongsun Shu said heartily. His family has a long history of family education, and his ancestors have passed down their past experiences from generation to generation.
According to his family's experience, many people who are new to the battlefield have almost exhausted their physical strength before they can get in front of the opponent. Some were nervous and didn't know what to do, and some were trembling with fear. As a general, you must take all aspects into consideration.
The reason why he dared to let everyone in the first battalion sit on the ground and take a rest was because of his daily training.
After he saw Zhou Xing's training method for the first time, he was trembling with excitement. He knew in his heart that this training method was exactly what he had been thinking about but couldn't find.
Facts have proved that the sergeants trained in this way are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire. As long as the commander does not tell them to stop, the sergeants will keep moving forward.
It was with this kind of discipline, obedience, and proficiency that had been trained for a long time that he dared to let them rest for a while with confidence.
He was calculating the distance from which the opponent would charge.
He believed that the time it took for his first battalion soldiers to stand up and get into formation was probably shorter than the time it took for the opponent to charge.
His hands holding the horse's reins were already slippery, and he was feeling nervous and excited at the same time.
He has no spiritual veins, he is not a monk.
But he has always been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child. He thinks that he is full of knowledge, but because of his status as a civilian, he seems to be unable to see any opportunities to put it to use.
"This battle is just the beginning." Gongsun Shu gritted his teeth and said to himself, then he said loudly: "Everyone, stand up!"
"Archers, nock your arrows!"
"see!"
"Pull the string!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrows of the elite army of Bo Dao people are basically made of sharpened bamboo or wood, and there is no excess pig iron wasted on arrows that are generally consumables.
Most of the refugees on the opposite side were those who worked under the former Xiyi captain, and there were quite a few of them wearing armor. Hundreds of arrows were fired at them, causing a commotion and a few screams, but the damage was really limited. And immediately some people here picked up their bows and arrows and shot towards the elite troops of the common people of Bodao.
"Steady! Maintain the formation!" Huo Yan looked at the opponent's neatly arranged square formation, and saw that everyone on the opponent was wearing rattan armor and holding a spear in their hands, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
As a military farmer who has lived in Wenshan County for three generations, and as a veteran who has fought dozens of battles with the Qiang people there, Huo Yan has extremely rich combat experience.
Since the death of Mr. Chen, the former Xiyi Colonel, life has become difficult for the villagers under Xiyi Captain. Several cronies under Chen's general accountant swept away the money and food from Xiyi Xiaowei's mansion, and then disappeared. With the group of dragons without a leader and the Qiang people ready to take action, Huo Yan and others jointly recommended Jian Shuo, who was an outstanding warrior, as the leader.
After Luo Shang entered Shu, Jian Shuo also immediately sent people to CD to express his loyalty to Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou who also served as the captain of Xiyi. Although Luo Shang said he would let bygones be bygones. But as soon as the officers he sent to follow him from Liangzhou arrived at Wenshan, they began to collect charges against them and threatened to punish them. Jian Shuo, Huo Yan and others didn't know that the dealer was looking for this excuse to take the opportunity to collect money, but their pockets were really empty. Where could there be any extra money for this greedy dealer? As a result, Jian Shuo secretly contacted a Qiang leader and asked him to lead the Qiang people to attack. After killing the officer, Jian Shuo also led everyone to defect to the famous Li Xiang.
The territory Li Xiang promised to these military farmers under the former Western Qiang captain was Deyang County, which made Jian Shuo and even all the military farmers very grateful.
No one wants to be a military camper in the valley on the Wenshan side, dealing with those Qiang people with disheveled hair, fur, and a stinky smell every day.
According to the discussion between Jian Shuo and several leaders, regardless of whether Li Xiang and others could succeed or not, he and other military villagers would occupy Deyang first. In this way, if the imperial court becomes more powerful in the future, then he will join the imperial court again. If Li Xiang becomes more powerful, he will continue to follow Li Xiang. But in any case, after the existing facts are established, it will not be justified for anyone to move people like themselves to Wenshan.
Huo Yan, who was born in a military camp, received training from his family and even the Xiyi Schoolmaster's Mansion since he was a child. His grandfather was a steward of the Xiyi Academy Mansion and an eighth-grade monk, which allowed his family to occupy several acres of spiritual land. Huo Yan was born with three spiritual veins, and his body was far better than ordinary people. He had been favored by his family since he was a child. And he has lived up to expectations, and his cultivation has already surpassed that of others.
It's just that they are military households and cannot go to the prefectures and counties for evaluation. If there were no accidents, no matter how high his cultivation level was, Huo Yan would spend his whole life guarding the place where he was, guarding this land for the Jin Dynasty.
Among them, riding horses, hunting, and even fighting with the Qiang people were commonplace. Of course, they were often unreasonable. It can be said that Huo Yan grew up fighting since he was a child, and his combat experience is extremely rich. This time Jian Shuo appointed him to lead two thousand soldiers to destroy Zhou Xing.
These people were all military campers back then, and they were all very familiar with each other. During the battle between the refugees and Xin Ran, Li Xiang was amazed by their fighting prowess. He kept saying that they were worthy of being a military garrison of the imperial court, and they were indeed very brave.
In their understanding before they came, this so-called volunteer army consisted of less than 500 people, which could be captured with a single charge.
Valley lizard
I have grown up on the edge of a knife, and have been fighting for a long time, while the other party has only just been recruited. In fact, according to what most of them said, three to five hundred people could kill the opponent. Just out of caution, they recruited two thousand people.
Fighting requires courage!
In Huo Yan's understanding, fighting and fighting are the same. Being brave enough to move forward without fear of death is the only way to win.
On the battlefield, cowards die the fastest. This is a sentence that Huo Yan and other military camp boys have been talking about since they were young. Among them, the older girls like brave young men the most. Huo Yan has relied on his strong cultivation and fearless spirit since he was a child to make many people his age willing to recognize him as their boss. He himself can't remember how many girls he has slept with there. There are people from military camps, people traveling with merchants, and people from non-military communities. Even the eldest Qiang girl, Huo Yan has been there.
When your momentum is strong, the opponent becomes weak.
This was the case when Huo Yan fought with the Qiang people in the past. He led a group of people to put on armor and charge, and the fight between the two sides was nothing more than a competition of numbers and courage.
But now, looking at the opponent's rows of Zhangba spears that were pointing straight into the sky like a forest and still reflecting light in the sun, Huo Yan knew that he had encountered a difficult opponent.
As a son who has been in the army for several generations, he has known the importance of formation since he was a child. But he has rarely encountered a formation that can be arranged so neatly. It is like a hedgehog, making it impossible for people to attack.
"If I charge forward, if the opponent's spear stabs me so neatly, how can I resist it?" Huo Yan was thinking about this problem while riding on a horse. Although it was already cold winter, a layer of fine blood immediately oozed out from his forehead. sweat.
He turned to look at his friends beside him, and the eyes of the other people were almost the same as his.
Worry, wariness, even fear!
A veteran who has fought many battles, he starts to feel fear even before he charges!
"Stop moving forward!" Huo Yan finally made up his mind and shouted loudly. These people all grew up with him, and they had relatives and friends in Guanghan City. He finally did not dare to let these strong men collide with each other's forest-like spears before he figured out a solution.
Seeing that the opponent was pressing forward menacingly, but now stopped within charging distance, Gongsun Shu, who was on the horse, smiled coldly. The damage done by our own arrows to the opponent was really limited at this distance. Gongsun Shu didn't hesitate and looked at him and said: "Sign the flag and advance fifty steps." Immediately, a knight next to him blew with all his strength. He hung the whistle around his neck, then raised his hands high and waved the red flag in his hands several times.
Immediately, a neat whistle sounded from the first battalion. It was the whistle that Zhou Xing specially asked skilled craftsmen to make out of wood. Next, the phalanx of the first battalion was like a whole, walking in neat steps, holding long guns, and walked towards the opponent step by step.
At this moment, not only Huo Yan and others were moved, but also the expressions of everyone on the city wall changed.
Thousands of people are one!
Viewed from a high place, the phalanx did not change at all during its march, as if a huge square had been moved. As far as the eye could see, only the rows of cold-glowing metal gun heads pointed proudly at the sky.
Xin Hui's face instantly turned extremely pale, and his legs began to tremble. He didn't know why he was afraid, but he found that he was not the only one, many people on the city wall were trembling like him.
"Lord Fujun," Cuan Chen looked at everyone's reaction and smiled proudly, "With such a strong army, even if there are many refugees, it is not something to be afraid of. Don't you want to go down and get a share of the pie?"
Seeing the opponent approaching step by step, the team on the refugee side made a noise. When one's own bows and arrows hit the opponent's rattan armor, they are like scratching an itch and cannot cause any harm.
Huo Yan's heart was pounding, and he knew that if he could not let the other party press him like this without moving, his momentum would be completely suppressed by the other party.
Deyang, this is the place where they will live in the future.
When he thought of his previous life in the ravines of Wenshan Mountain and then looked at the conditions here in Deyang, Huo Yan's heart became excited again.
"Brothers," Huo Yan shouted loudly as soon as he thought of this, "Do you still want to go back to Wenshan?"
"I don't want to!" There were only a few sparse responses.
Huo Yan didn't take it seriously and continued to speak loudly: "Li Zhendong promised us Deyang County. The land here is fertile, far away from the Qiang people, and it is the center of the Shu plain. Think about our past life, think about what's behind us Family. Without sacrifice, there is no gain. Today, as long as we defeat the team in front of us, Deyang will be ours."
Huo Yan's words immediately aroused the response of many people. Many people in the formation began to shout loudly and even whistled, and the momentum that had just been suppressed was swept away.
"We are good soldiers in the army, invincible warriors. For our Deyang, let's charge!"
After Huo Yan said these words, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward. His target was very simple, not the phalanx with a forest of spears, but the few people behind the phalanx who looked like they were in command.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Qiao Feng looked at the opponent running towards him with various weapons in hand. His resolute and rock-like face did not change at all, and he shouted loudly: "Stop!"
As his order sounded, the entire phalanx made a "step" sound, and then stood neatly and still.
"Spear raised!"
There are forty people in one row of their square formation, and there are twelve rows in front and back, a total of 480 people. Following Qiao Feng's order, the soldiers in the first and second rows immediately changed their spears from pointing straight toward the sky to holding them straight forward. The two rows crossed, leaving no gap in front of them.
"prick!"
Seeing the opponent charging into the attack range of the spear with a ferocious look, Qiao Feng shouted again. Standing in the first row, he was also holding a spear. First, he leaned back slightly, crossed his legs back and forth, his front legs were slightly bent, and his hind legs were slightly bent. Complete almost ninety degrees. Immediately after exerting force on his waist, legs and abdomen, his whole body tilted from backward to forward, and the Zhangba spear in his hand stabbed towards the belly of the man in front of him like lightning. Although the man was wearing leather armor, Qiao Feng believed that he would easily pierce the leather armor with his spear.
The person Qiao Feng stabbed was extremely majestic. He held a wooden buckler covered with a layer of iron in one hand and a short spear about one foot long in the other.
