Yan Tao looked at the Jin army that was already waiting for them and felt a little regretful, but then he thought about it and thought that all the refugees had come to his place. It seemed unusual for two or three hundred people to want others not to notice.
At present, both offense and defense are placed on the bright side, but there is no need to worry about ambushes and the like.
Yan Tao is still very confident. Although there are more soldiers in the Jin army, Yan Tao's main task today is not to defeat the Jin army head-on. It is enough to make those in the camp who have never held a sword fear.
For this reason, the Jin soldiers brought enough bows, crossbows and arrows, as well as a lot of kerosene, mainly from long range. It was not impossible to rely on 800 elite troops to attack the camp. The number of Jin soldiers was not large in the first place, and they had to be divided into A considerable number of people were sent to look after the rear camp to defend the surrounding areas, but the number of armored soldiers who could be placed in the front was at a disadvantage.
It's just that Yan Tao couldn't bear it from the bottom of his heart.
He has already lost 300 of his most elite armored soldiers. If he adds these people, he may not be able to secure his position as Zuo Sima.
After being discovered, the Jin Army lit up the torches openly and openly, each man holding a torch, making the entire sky seem to be dyed with fire.
The golden soldiers advanced with great noise, trying to overwhelm their opponents with their momentum.
This method is of little use against well-trained armored soldiers, but for ordinary people who have not experienced battle formations, it seems as if they are surrounded by enemies shouting.
The uneasiness in my heart that had been suppressed began to stir, seeming to break free.
Children don't have those scruples. The brave ones have already started to cry loudly, while the brave ones huddle in their parents' arms and stare with frightened eyes. They have heard this sound too many times during this time, and every time Each time represents escape and eternal separation between heaven and man.
At the age when children were playing, they already knew the difference between underground and above ground. The fear of death enveloped most people, making them so depressed that they could hardly breathe.
The men, young and old, consciously protected women and children in the middle. They held poles, hoes, sticks and other things that could be used as weapons in their hands. Their hands were clenched so tightly that their joints were a little white.
"Get ready~~~"
There was a faint order coming from the Jin Army formation. Wang Ye hurriedly directed the soldiers to put on their shields. Wu Chengju personally raised a tower shield in front of Guan Cheng. Even though Guan Cheng impatiently kicked him away, he still squeezed in. .
Guan Cheng knew that this was the worry of his subordinates, but he believed that the general's fearlessness could inspire the soldiers' confidence and courage.
Guan Cheng stood in the most obvious place with a few personal guards. Unless a soldier looked back, he could always see that figure, not strong but reassuring enough.
"put!"
Another order came from the Jin army, followed by the sound of breaking through the air.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield quickly!"
Wang Ye is one of the most experienced members of Guan Cheng's current very pitiful team. Peng and Shu have always been at odds with the Jin Kingdom. The three countries fight back and forth. Every year, there must be at least one large-scale conflict. More than a dozen times. Therefore, Wang Ye has the most say in Jin Bing's routines and habits.
The movements in the hands of the soldiers were quick and smooth, and the muffled sound of the arrows hammering into the wood hit everyone's heart like a hammer. The thump, thump, thump, was like a ghost knocking the door to hell at night, echoing in the night sky for a long time. Absolutely.
Yan Tao may not necessarily know whether the Jin army carried many arrows, but the Jin army soldiers knew it deeply.
Experienced officers can easily judge the size of the enemy's archers from the sound of arrows being fired and then calculate the approximate number of enemy troops.
Wang Ye listened and thought for a moment, and concluded that the number of enemy troops was around 1,500. This number was considered well matched for the Jin army at the moment. There are more than 2,300 people, but after excluding the seriously injured, there are only just over 2,000 left. After excluding the newly recruited soldiers, this number is very close to 1,500.
However, the Jin army not only needed to defend the main entrance, but also needed enough troops to patrol around and defend other important places. As a result, Wang Ye could only arrange less than a thousand armored soldiers at the main entrance.
Yan Tao and others brought enough bows and crossbows, which had a certain impact on Wang Ye's judgment, but the difference was not very big. Even if Wang Ye really knew that Yan Tao only brought 800 people out, he would not have the strength at all. Go out to battle.
"Raise the bow!" After a few rounds, Yan Tao felt that the effect was not very good: "Put on the rocket!"
Suddenly there were stars.
"Get ready~"
"put!"
Guan Cheng was immediately shocked. The momentum this time was obviously more conspicuous, and conspicuousness equaled greatness.
You can still comfort yourself when you don't see it. After all, hearing is the truth and seeing is the truth. This reason is quite convincing.
But when the first arrow wrapped in tarpaulin fell on the tent in the camp with a stream of light, igniting the tarpaulin, panic among the crowd began to spread.
A total of 800 Jin soldiers came out, but the total number of strong bows and crossbows was 500. One round was 500 rockets. The crossbowmen in the Jin army could easily use their bows too high. After crossing the Jin army's defense line, after all, there is not much space for few people to use it.
When the first person among the common people was hit by an arrow and fell down, the crowd could no longer suppress it. At this time, the shadow of death had turned into reality. The fear and fear in the past few days had accumulated to the point where they were completely crushed by the scream of an arrow. .
The Jin soldiers responsible for maintaining order even drew their swords, but they were immediately knocked to the ground by the crowd like headless flies. How could more than 200 people stop the frenzy of thousands of people, and they couldn't even encircle them.
When the fear of death exceeds reason and the instinct of survival desire takes over the brain, people lose their thoughts.
The desperate Jin soldiers had to work hard to get closer and huddle together to protect themselves. The swords in their hands had no choice but to stab the crowd coming over, and blood spattered everywhere in the chaos.
However, the people at the rear did not know what was happening in the front. They only knew that escaping was the most important thing. The power of the crowd easily broke up the small circular formation of Jin soldiers like a mountain. Dozens of soldiers were hit in an instant. On the ground, countless pairs of big feet stepped on it mercilessly.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" The company commander's sad and angry voice was like a small wave in the crowd, without any relief at all.
The chaos of the crowd overwhelmed everything at this time.
Guan Cheng in the front camp was also very anxious, and the chaos in the rear even seriously affected the soldiers who were struggling to support the formation in the front.
"Your Highness~" A soldier stumbled over, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the rear camp, the rear camp is all in chaos, Your Highness, even the Ma Company Commander was trampled to death, Your Highness !”
Guan Cheng took a deep breath, knowing that he must not mess up at this moment. If he messed up, it would be completely impossible.
"Send the order, gather everyone and open the camp gate."
Wang Ye was shocked and said: "Your Highness, no! We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. At this moment, the morale of the army is in turmoil. Taking the initiative to attack will be a dead end!"
Hearing this, Guan Cheng turned his head sharply and glared angrily. The look in his eyes made the battle-hardened Wang Ye tremble with fear. He didn't understand how such a look could appear on a young man who had only been on the battlefield once.
Guan Cheng stared at Wang Yehan and said in a cold voice: "Captain Wang, if you dare to question my order again next time and disturb the morale of the army, I will chop off your sacrificial flag!"
