There is a saying in the art of war: Being condescending can be overwhelming.
The officers and soldiers of the Hirata Army were like fierce tigers hunting for prey. When they charged down, the heads of a small number of ragged bandits were harvested and driven away by the unstoppable Hirata cavalry.
On the other hand, the enemy bandits, who were equipped with armor and steel helmets, were obviously of good quality. They were unexpectedly attacked, but they did not panic. They worked in groups of three and cooperated tacitly. When the charge of Hirata's cavalry gradually slowed down, they raised their swords and shields. The sword was specifically looking for the legs and belly of the horse. The big horses that were hit by the knife had their entrails all over the ground, lying down waiting for death. The Hirata cavalry who fell under the horse did not escape the fate of being hacked to death by random swords.
Hundreds of people fought, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the extremely desolate Chisong County finally gained a little more popularity!
On the stone mountain, after the cavalry charge, there was a bang of bangs, and a large number of Hirata soldiers poured out.
In this encirclement and annihilation battle, the original Huaxing Armed Forces cavalry brought by Li Erniu were responsible for the frontal charge, while the county soldiers brought by Wang Dali and the escorts brought by Yang Liu were mixed into a team and responsible for secretly coordinating the rear. , seeing the cavalry attack slow down, just now, Liu Yi gave an order, and these people popped up on the stone mountain.
These condescending Hirata soldiers were ready with arrows, crossbows, and darts, and they shot down at once. The bandits who were fighting with Hirata's cavalry on the periphery were unprepared and were immediately shot into a hornet's nest. Victory began to pour to Lord Hirata's side.
When the bandits were in crisis, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "All troops in formation," and the bandits in armor moved in response, raising their shields and moving closer together, forming a large square formation.
The Pingtian soldiers on the mountain still threw stones at them. After three rounds, although the stones rained down like rain, they failed to kill or injure the bandits. It was in vain.
Liu Yiyuan watched the battle and saw that the opponent's formation was well organized. He knew that his cavalry had lost the advantage of charging as a cavalry, and allowing them to charge would only increase casualties.
So, he sighed softly, "Stop attacking!"
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, 200 cavalrymen of the Pingtian Army were fighting from Shandong Head to Shanxi Head. Yun Yi, who was leading the charge, had just turned his horse around and was about to continue charging. He looked at the airtight shield formation surrounded by nearly a hundred people below. , whispered in a low voice, "What kind of gangster is this? He is clearly a veteran of hundreds of battles! Master Liu Yi said that Jiang Feng is making things difficult for this industry. Oh, the Lord of Mujiang City in Jiangzhou can't even act in a full set! He actually directly Standard weapons are used."
Yun Yi relaxed his muscles a few times and was about to lead the charge again. The county soldiers and escorts on the rocks on both sides had already drawn their swords. Li Erniu quickly rode over and said loudly, "Yun Yi, sir When ordered, withdraw your troops into formation, leave them to the status quo, refrain from attacking for the time being, and stay on standby."
Hirata's army moved very neatly and collected their troops in an orderly manner, leaving no chance for the bandits to break out. After a while, Hirata's army had three floors outside and three floors outside, surrounding the capable bandits with less than a hundred people. At this point, both sides continued to fight. The stalemate begins!
The soldiers began to surround but did not attack, thinking that this was a heart-wrenching strategy by the master, hoping to wait for the thieves to mess up their position.
However, in Liu Yi's eyes, this idea was really a last resort and a last resort. In his mind, there might be a better way to defeat the enemy.
The spring breeze was swaying and the sun was shining brightly. Liu Yi stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, stroking the brown fur of the red racing rabbit. The breeze came slowly, and his gray shirt was floating, creating a romantic atmosphere of his own.
The young man suddenly discovered that he was no longer the little Huang Tiao who stuck a wooden hairpin on the roof of the building looking north and only wanted to open a wine shop until he grew old. He was already an official who controlled the future and destiny of hundreds of people.
Of course, in addition to these, in the eyes of Li Erniu and others, Liu Yi is still a good big brother with a strategic mind and an ambitious heart. However, he himself does not know this idea.
After the scene calmed down for a while, Liu Yi looked down at the mountain from a high position, and the solemnity between his brows became even more serious.
Most of the people left on the ground outside the circular formation were thin bandits without soft armor. It seemed that these thin bandits should be a small group of bandits temporarily recruited, brave and elite, coming from Taihao City. Yes, it must be in the circular formation.
To put it another way, Hirata's army first charged with cavalry and then fired rapidly with archers, but it did not cause any damage to the core of this group of 200 bandits.
It's basically a waste of time.
Liu Yi paced back and forth on the stone mountain. He thought over and over again, and finally a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "Tell the brothers to take off the rag, wet it with water, and cover your mouth and nose."
Then, Liu Yi ran all the way away, pulled out a plant, looked left and right, handed it to Wang Dali, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Wang, this is the Bell Arrow Grass. Could you please lead thirty brothers immediately?" Quickly pick them around here, ten plants in a bundle, with gravel attached, no matter how many, and the cup of tea will be back."
Wang Dali did not ask why he was picking, and immediately took the order and left. Liu Yi, Qiao Miaoqing and Xia Qing were the only ones left on the mountain. Enjoy the scenery.
Liu Yi didn't say anything, looking intently at the circular formation at the foot of the mountain, his eyes like floating waves and his mouth like a thin moon.
For a moment, this handsome young man was obsessed with the little girl Qiao Miaoqing, and his girlish heart began to stir unconsciously. The jewel in the eye of the leader of the world's number one killer group, the number one For the first time, I tasted the wonderful feeling of heart-pounding.
There are not many truths in this world. Sometimes a girl's blushing face is better than a long confession.
Unfortunately, the blushing Qiao Miaoqing did not attract Liu Yi's attention. All Liu Yi's thoughts were focused on the shield formation in front of him.
Wang Dali worked very efficiently. After a while, more than ten bundles of bell arrow grass of different sizes were placed in front of Liu Yi. Liu Yi weighed the pounds, nodded, and told Wang Dali, "Brother Wang, look for Several brothers with strong arms lit it on fire and threw it at the entrance of the circular formation with the wind. In addition, I told all the soldiers to retreat to the mountain and be sure to cover their mouths and noses, slow down their breathing as much as possible, and wait for the charge."
Seeing everyone's doubts, Liu Yi immediately patiently explained, "When the bell arrow grass first grows, it is highly poisonous. Except for the bell arrow plant that is in full bloom and can be used as medicine, the others are highly poisonous. I will take advantage of the wind and destroy it with poisonous smoke. I want to come , it should be effective!”
Wang Dali clicked his tongue in praise and hurriedly followed Liu Yi's instructions.
There is never a book you read in vain, every page counts! ——Dongfang Chunsheng
After throwing out more than ten bundles of bell arrow grass, less than twenty breaths had passed. All the bandits on the outside of the enemy formation had fallen to the ground. Less than a cup of tea, there were only a few soldiers who were still holding up their shields. They were still in close contact just now. The ventilated circular formation was now like a hornet's nest full of loopholes, which would be broken with one touch.
The poisonous smoke gradually dissipated, Liu Yi saw that the time was ripe, and nodded to Li Erniu. Li Erniu waved his flag, and the Hirata soldiers rushed out from all directions.
Under the iron hoof, not a single person was left alive!
...
The scenery is beautiful and charming, and the feeling of wandering away from home is strong.
The misty spring rain makes it difficult to move forward, and half of the flags are hidden in the red pine trees.
Yang Liu led some soldiers to bury the bandits and prepare the battlefield. Everyone began to camp on the spot and light fires to make food.
Liu Yi sat by the bonfire, thought over and over again, and rejected Li Erniu's suggestion to bury the dead soldiers on the spot, and decided to send ten county soldiers to send the 21 brothers who died in the battle back to Lingyuan.
They died in a foreign country for the great cause of Pingtian, which is the glory of the ancestors. It is their duty to let them return to their hometown, sleep in their hometown, and enjoy the incense in Wangnan Temple.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Huangfu, asking him to widely publicize the achievements and righteous deeds of Pingtian Army, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and establish prestige.
Things in the world are always going wrong. Sometimes, you have to believe in reincarnation and the rewards of good and evil.
A few months later, it was the ten county soldiers who were ordered to escort Pao Ze's body back to Lingyuan City to resolve a sudden crisis.
After a hundred days of bloody fighting, everyone was speechless for a night. 33
On the second day, before dawn, Yang Liu and Xia Qing rode two strong light horses. Under the watch of Liu Yi, they ran quietly out of the Pingtian camp stationed on the spot, one from the south and the other from the north.
Liu Yi was the only one who knew the whereabouts of the two.
After seeing off Xia Qing and Yang Liu, there was no need for the rooster to announce the dawn. Liu Yi, who had been trained by his father to read early in the morning since he was six years old, knew in his heart that it was already the beginning of Mao hour.
The handsome young man hesitated for a moment in front of the camp gate, walked back to the central tent, and washed his face with cold water. The past two years of traveling abroad made his originally strong body look stronger, and his bronze skin, There are more mature lines that an adult man should have, the unique roughness of northern men, coupled with a touch of elegance, and a hint of mature manliness.
After washing up, Liu Yi felt extremely refreshed. He stood leisurely at the door of the central tent, looking at the yawning guards not far away. He recalled how the sergeants who had never killed anyone were vomiting after the war. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Liu Yi clearly remembered that when he and Dongfang's grandson Wangbeilou first met, Dongfang Chunsheng said, "The sword of the Han army has never been unsheathed for forty-five years", which made him deeply aware of the power of the Han Empire's armor. He had deep doubts and a hint of contempt for the emperor above the nine heavens.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously expressed his thoughts aloud, "Humph! With tens of millions of people and millions of troops in charge, he actually chose such a gentle strategy to deal with the internal troubles of the family. What a kindhearted person. 'Where is the emperor!"
The sizzling sound of the bonfire brought back Liu Yi's thoughts and stopped Liu Yi's contemptuous words.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, he quickly covered his mouth and looked around. When no one noticed him, he tiptoed back to the case and rolled up his sleeves to read in the morning.
But what happened yesterday and the conspiracy he had with Xia Qingyangliu last night made him mentally tired, and the words in the book could not enter his mind. In desperation, he had no choice but to stand in front of the tent again, looking at the details. The rain moistens the spring. Listening to the snoring one after another, I laugh and sigh and recite, "The morning breeze is clear, and I can enjoy the misty rain rolling over thousands of hills, and the water in half the pond is rippled. The marsh is green, and the willow buds pity my youth, embedded in the east wind ten miles away." "
"Ah! Brother, why did you get up so early? It seems that your habits have not changed after so many years!"
Li Erniu, who was wearing armor and as strong as an ox, stood beside Liu Yi. The two close friends, who had known each other since childhood, began to talk alone for the first time since the flood.
Liu Yi did not treat Li Erniu politely, but went straight to the point and asked, "Erniu, tell me, we traveled thousands of miles and went into danger for what purpose?"
"Haha! Since it is the eldest brother who is asking, I will tell the truth!" Li Erniu picked up the waistband of his trousers and said with a smile, "I'm talking about the eldest brother! Of course he has some beliefs and some selfish motives, and wants to do something for the people. The welfare is true, the desire to establish some fame is true, and the desire to take this opportunity to avenge Grandpa Dongfang is true, I’m afraid!”
Liu Yi took a deep look at Li Erniu and grinned with white teeth, "He who knows me is the fourth brat!"
Two boys, holding hands and laughing!
Some people died, but not completely...
