Early in the morning, Liu Yi led his soldiers to block the official road.
Sure enough, walking along the road, I saw a group of people hurriedly preparing to face the enemy.
Liu Yi couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw it!
The coach of this team is indeed an amateur!
The baggage, carriages and horses must be placed in the center of the army, with someone in front to clear the way, and someone behind to keep things safe.
Where can anyone put all the baggage vehicles at the front of the team like this to serve as the vanguard?
Do you really think that you can block your own army just by placing these vehicles in front of the formation? Innocent!
Seeing that the two armies were close enough to see clearly the expressions on the other side, Liu Yi raised his hand to stop the team.
Feeling that he had a chance to win, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel confident. With a wink, a guard with a loud voice took two steps forward and shouted:
"People on the other side, listen up! General Liu Yiliu, the governor of Yingzhou, is here personally leading an army of 100,000 people!
If you are wise, surrender quickly! If not, the general will be furious and will kill you to pieces! "
Although there is certainty of victory, if you can defeat the enemy without fighting, it is definitely the best strategy.
After a while, a man who looked like a general stood up from the opposite side, stretched out a hand towards Liu Yi, then raised his middle finger and shouted: "Come here!"
Liu Yi couldn't help but be furious! This guy really doesn't know what's good or bad! He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he just wanted to take down this wave of enemies as soon as possible.
Yin waved the riding whip in his hand, and the sword player at the front covered the crossbowman and spearman and began to move forward.
"Quick, quick, quick! Remove all the oilcloth!" Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with excitement!
This is his first time commanding an artillery battle, so he must have a good time!
Because he took off the oilcloth, he couldn't wait to light the fuse!
With the sound of a cannon, dozens or hundreds of iron bullets were sprayed out, and suddenly a gap was broken in the originally neat charge formation!
Obviously, the wooden shield in the hand of the sword player cannot block the bombardment at such a close range.
Liu Yi was shocked! Liu Yi's soldiers were also stunned, and their attack couldn't help but stagnate!
What's happening here?
Then there were loud noises again and again, and the lines that were originally brushing together became like an old lady's teeth, with not many left!
"Quick, quick, quick! Reload, reload! Keep firing!" Zhang Liao spat excitedly and Xingzi commanded.
These artillery pieces were fixed on weighted wooden wheel carts. The inertia of hesitant firing pushed the carts back a certain distance, which could be compensated by the gun carts with launchers.
Lu Bu, citing the importance of the naval battle, left Zhang Liao with only twenty cannons. Zhang Liao also made the best use of them, using the first ten cannons in two rows and the rear ten cannons.
In fact, the motive is very simple, it gives him the opportunity to shoot two shots with his own hands.
Before the second row of artillery could be fired, Liu Yi's army was already in chaos!
Not only those at the front of the charge, many people behind were also shot and fell to the ground!
Liu Yi was not spared either. His horse's head was pierced by an iron bullet, and he fell to the ground with a hiss.
Liu Yi was still struggling to get up, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He subconsciously touched it with his hand and found that the armor on his chest had been dented, and there was a hole the size of a longan in the middle, and blood was pouring out. …
"It's incredible! The general was struck to death by thunder!"
"The general is dead! Run!"
It seems that hundreds of people were killed by shelling, but Liu Yi was shot and fell from his horse, which was more shocking.
"I... I'm not dead yet! Whoever dares to... dares to spread rumors to undermine the morale of the army... will be killed!"
Liu Yi wanted to kill these two bastards with his own hands who didn't help him when he couldn't get up, but turned around and ran away.
However, this movement was too big, and it was too difficult for him who was injured now.
Fortunately, he still had a few diehards under him. Without waiting for Liu Yi's orders, they chased after the person who spread the rumors and chopped them with two knives, while shouting loudly:
"Don't listen to rumors! The general's horse was just hit, and the general himself is... fine..."
Before he finished his sentence, the people nearby caught his attention and fired another shot. An iron bullet hit him directly in the back of his head!
In full view of everyone, the powerful inertia of the iron bullet took away his entire face!
It was like an unripe cold melon being exploded by a hammer, with red and white splashing everywhere.
Liu Yi even hit the jackpot, and an eyeball flew directly to his face, still staring at him with a burning gaze.
Liu Yi suddenly became energetic, stood up, pointed at the damn horse and said:
"Hurry...help me mount my horse and retreat...back to the camp!"
Fortunately, in order to prevent anyone from harassing us, the camp was only a few miles away behind us.
Although the enemy's cavalry continued to cause nuisance, it only caused small-scale chaos, and the large troops returned to the temporary camp smoothly.
However, some thoughtful people discovered that these cavalry did not seem to deliberately kill more people, but were just driving the sheep back to the sheepfold like a group of experienced shepherds...
Although they had returned to the military camp fully beard and feathers, tens of thousands of people were squeezed into this temporary military camp, which was more like a prison.
However, they did not dare to say this to Liu Yi.
Because Liu Yi was lying in the big tent at this time receiving treatment from the doctor accompanying the army.
An iron pill the size of a bird's egg penetrated Liu Yi's Tiekai and then penetrated his flesh.
The good news is that the iron pellet got stuck between two ribs and did not damage the internal organs.
The bad news is that the two ribs that stuck the iron pill were shattered into pieces. Together with the impact of the dent in the armor, Liu Yi's ribs were broken in various ways, and even breathing would cause severe pain.
When the iron pill was finally taken out, there were beads of sweat the size of soybeans on Liu Yi's forehead.
"Give me the order to strengthen...strengthen the defense of the camp..."
After just one sentence, Liu Yi passed out.
"Report! General..." A scout rushed in hastily.
Xu Jie, Liu Yi's lieutenant, glared at him and said, "What's your name? Didn't you notice that the general has just been treated for his injury and is resting?"
The scout glanced at Liu Yi, who was naked and unconscious on the felt, swallowed hard, and said:
"General, there is an urgent military situation... The defenders in Duchang City are following us. Now... they are only seven or eight miles away from the camp!"
Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "The general has an order to strengthen the defense of the camp! Send the order, dig trenches and build forts, and wait for the enemy!"
"Yes..." the scout agreed and went out.
After asking the doctor a few more questions, the doctor only said that although Liu Yi's injury was not harmful to his life, he was afraid that it would be difficult to move for a while and that his muscles and bones would be damaged for a hundred days, so he had to rest and rest.
A group of people came out of the Zhongjun tent and surrounded Xu Jie. Now that Liu Yi is dead, Xu Jie is the supreme leader.
"General Xu, what should we do..."
"That's right! Please give us a clear path, General Xu!"
"We are all willing to listen to General Xu's orders!"
