360.Chapter 360: Victory in the First Battle
When Gong Du heard that the bandit general was beaten down, he was immediately furious, and shouted: "We are waiting for the Son of Heaven to beg for rebellion, and the heavenly soldiers are here, and if you do not surrender, it is really the way to die." ”
"Look at me Gong Du take your life!"
After finishing speaking, Gong Du brandished his weapon and rode his horse to only take the bandit generals.
The bandit general laughed twice and said, "An unknown person, dare to speak outrageously? The admiral king should be here, and he has come to take your dog's head! ”
The two rode their horses, rushed into the battle and began to fight. After more than 20 rounds of fighting, regardless of victory or defeat, Wang Dang secretly thought in his heart: "This guy's courage is equal to mine, and it is not easy to kill this person in front of the battle." ”
"The thief army is only 500 people in formation, why don't I go back to my own formation and charge for a while with more soldiers?"
Thinking of this, Wang Dang already had a plan in his heart. He sold a flaw, made a false move, and then turned his horse away, but still shouted: "As a general, how can I fight with you, an unknown man?" Look at my sons, kill you so much that you don't have a piece of armor left! ”
After Wang Dang finished speaking, he had already returned to the main formation, he waved the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Sons, follow me to the battle, kill the enemy and receive the reward!" ”
"Kill!"
More than 1,000 people followed Wang Dang, shouting and rushing to the trapped camp in formation.
On the other side, Gao Shun stood on the high ground behind the trapped camp, and Gong Du and Yang Feng stood beside him.
Gao Shun's face sank like water, and there was not the slightest fear on his face. He saw clearly, and when he saw that Wang Dangjun had entered the range of bows and arrows, he immediately drank: "Archer, release the arrows!" ”
"Chirp!"
The four hundred soldiers in the camp who were armed with bows and arrows in the back did not hesitate to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands after hearing the order. With the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, it went straight to the middle of Wang Dang's army.
"Ahh
"That's a lot of arrows!"
"I got an arrow in the knee!"
"Help me!"
A round of arrows rained down, and at least a hundred kings lost their combat effectiveness. The soldiers who had been shot by the arrows howled and cried out loudly. The formation of their attack suddenly became fragmented.
Wang Dangjun's army was originally a rabble, and was shot by a round of arrows from the trapped camp, and the army's morale was suddenly weakened, and there were signs of defeat.
Seeing this, Wang Dang hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, the thief army is full of archers, as long as we rush to the front, the victory will be ours!" ”
After hearing Wang Dang's words, the more than 1,000 centaurs lifted their spirits again, spread their feet and rushed forward desperately.
However, the archers trapped in the camp were like tireless machines, constantly firing their bows and arrows.
Although on the battlefield, there is a saying that there are only three shots in battle, it refers to the confrontation between the crossbowmen and the cavalry, and in the face of the cavalry charge, the crossbowmen can only shoot three arrows.
However, Wang Dang's army, which was adapted from bandits, naturally could not be cavalry. The four hundred archers in the trapped camp shot an average of five arrows each, and Wang Dangjun lost most of them before he could rush to the front of the trapped camp.
At this time, Wang Dangjun's army was really about to collapse, and many people were terrified in their hearts and were about to flee.
Wang Dang killed several deserters one after another, and shouted hoarsely: "We have already rushed in front of them, and the thieves are all archers, so there is no need to worry. If we run away now, and we are still within range of the thieves' archers, how many of you will be able to escape with their lives? ”
"Those who don't want to die, those who want to be promoted and get rich, will be killed with me. As long as the thief army is defeated, money, women, food, everything! ”
Wang Dang had gambled everything now, and he knew that if he was defeated now, the 1,500 men and horses would be equivalent to losing all of them here.
If he had no minions, Li Li would definitely not look at him again.
Those soldiers did not know whether they were persuaded by Wang Dang's words, or were intimidated by Wang Dang's killing of several deserters, or greedy for money, women, and food.
Now, no one of them thought about escaping, and they rushed desperately to the trapped camp not far away.
Gao Shun's face was still ancient and modern, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted: "The archer abandons the bow, holds a spear, and cooperates with the sword and shield hand to kill the enemy!" ”
As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, the four hundred archers suddenly changed their weapons.
When Wang Dang's army rushed to the side of the trapped camp, he found that the 100 soldiers in the front had erected huge shields to protect all the soldiers in the trapped camp behind him.
Not only that, but behind the shield, many spears appeared, making the trap camp a hedgehog. Those Wang Dangjun, who were in a hurry to grab merit, were suddenly pierced by spears.
Each time the spear stabbed a person, it retracted behind the shield and then stabbed out again. Not long after, more than 50 more people died.
On the other hand, Wang Dangjun couldn't shake those huge shields at all. As soon as someone stepped forward, they would be pierced through the body by a spear.
"This, this ......"
Wang Dang looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, and there was boundless fear in his heart, and now he only had one thought left: "These soldiers in the trapping camp are all devils!" ”
Seeing that there were less than 400 men left, Wang Dang hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw!" Remove! Retreat all! ”
The rabble, who had already been killed, suddenly shouted and fled desperately.
Seeing this, Gong Du and Yang Feng beside Gao Shun were immediately excited, and they were also impressed by the trapping camp, and the two of them said in unison: "General Gao, the thieves have been defeated, why don't I lead the troops to chase and kill now?" ”
Gao Shun did not give the order to pursue, but shouted sharply: "The sword and shield soldiers put down the iron shield and pick up the long knife to guard the front." The pikemen abandon their guns and change their bows to shoot! ”
The soldiers who had just changed their spears picked up their bows and arrows again and shot freely at the fleeing Wang Dangjun.
Wang Dangjun fled and dodged the overwhelming array of arrows behind him, and when they escaped from range of the archers, there were less than a hundred men left. Even Wang Dang himself was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
Looking at the miserable people behind him, Wang Dang couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The trapped camp is really worthy of its name!" ”
Gong Du and Yang Feng looked at everything on the battlefield dumbfounded. They did not expect that the 500 soldiers in the camp actually defeated twice the enemy and killed more than 900 people, but they did not hurt a single person.
This kind of record is simply a bit appalling. The previous conditions can be easily done, and it is only incredible that you don't hurt anyone.
The war is merciless, and the sword soldiers have no eyes. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't guarantee that he will be unscathed when he enters the battlefield.
What the trap is doing is like a myth.
Seeing this, Gao Shun had a proud smile on his face, and he said to Gong Du and Bai Rao: "Do you know, why didn't we order the pursuit? ”
Both of them showed curious looks on their faces. With the strength of the trapped camp, if he went to hunt down Wang Dang's army at that time, it was very likely that Wang Dang would also be left here.
Gao Shun looked into the distance and said quietly: "Although the trapping camp is elite, it costs countless money and food. Even if one person was killed in battle, it would be a huge loss. ”
"Let them shoot at a distance with a bow and arrow, so that they don't hurt a single person. If you go to chase and kill the enemy army, even if the enemy army is a rabble, the sword soldiers have no eyes, and they may be damaged if they fall into the camp. ”
"What's more, when the king is this person, it doesn't matter if he kills or not. If they are allowed to go back, these people will surely speak of the elite of our army. At that time, those young men who were forcibly pulled into soldiers, as well as the bandits and rogues who were collected by Li Li, will definitely be afraid. ”
"In this way, in the next encounter, the offensive of the thief army will be slightly blocked, and it will definitely be crushed."
When Gong Du and Yang Feng heard this, they immediately bowed to him. Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and they are generals like Gao Shun.
With strong strength, deterring those rabble, this approach is completely in line with the strategy of attacking the heart of the art of war.
After Wang Dang's army retreated, he fled back with the remnants of his defeated army. He had just traveled five miles when he suddenly saw a lot of dust in front of him, and a group of men and horses galloping towards him.
Wang Dangding looked at it and found that the commander of this man was Li Li, and he was immediately overjoyed.
He endured the pain in his shoulder, galloped over, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said sadly: "Lord, the trapped camp really deserves to be the first strong army under Chen Xu." The last general will lead a thousand men and horses, and the thieves will fight with only five hundred men, without losing a single soldier, and will defeat us all. ”
"If Gao Shun hadn't sent troops to pursue, I'm afraid the last general wouldn't have come back!"
Wang Dang's words made all the generals under Li Li's command shocked, and even Wang Dang was difficult to keep calm.
With 500 men against 1,000 men, without losing a single man, almost all of them were killed by the invading enemy. This kind of record is simply incredible.
Wang Dang did not want to admit his incompetence, so he could only praise the trapped camp: "Those soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, the people in the front row put up big iron shields, and the people in the back bent their bows and arrows. Before we could rush into the enemy's ranks, we had already suffered most of the casualties. ”
"It's hard to fight in close quarters, but we can't hurt the enemy in the slightest. Instead, those archers changed their spears as weapons, and one by one, like demons, mercilessly slaughtered the sons and daughters of the last general. ”
"My lord, the five hundred trapping camp is so powerful, if one thousand and five hundred people are lined up together. I'm afraid that the army under the lord's command will go up, and the victory or defeat will be unpredictable. ”
Wang Dang's words are not fictional. However, he didn't notice the frightened looks of the generals and Li Li's increasingly ugly face.
Li Li suddenly shouted violently and said: "When the king is defeated, I will be the first to break my spirit; Fallacies confuse the public and shake the hearts of the army. ”
"Where's the left and right? Pull this person down and cut off the sacrificial flag, and then I will raise the army again and kill Gao Shun to avenge this! ”
Wang Dang was suddenly shocked, and shouted: "The lord doesn't want it, the lord doesn't want ......."
However, the axemen paid no heed to Wang Dang's shouts. In an instant, the knife in his hand fell, and Wang Dang's body was already separated.
Li Li provoked Wang Dang's head with a spear, looked around at the generals, and shouted: "If there is any confusion in the hearts of our army, and the enemy is not the first, there is such a person!" ”
The generals were suddenly silent, not daring to hesitate any longer. Li Li raised his army and rushed straight into the camp of the camp.
