Chapter 90: Beating the Reservoir Dogs
As soon as Zhang Yan died, the Yan army formation was like a calm lake and continued to drop boulders, the commotion was like ripples, and the army array spread rapidly to the surroundings from the middle, and the Youzhou soldiers who had been fighting to the death before heard the news that the general was dead and scattered, and it was the defeat that fell like a mountain.
"The order, the reinforcements have arrived, listen to the golden drum and watch the order flag and fight the enemy. Stand up and war, and kill those who retreat without permission! Beat the drum and march, don't run away from Lejin, surround this murderer, and release the crossbow! ”
In the loud voice, Bei Yan swung his knife and slashed a Youzhou soldier who fled head-on, his eyes were furious, and he wanted to break Le Jin's corpse into ten thousand pieces.
Zhang Nian is his friend, but he will not personally go into the Chinese army to avenge Zhang Nian, because his martial arts have always been inferior to Zhang Nian, and now Zhang Nian has been killed by Le Jin, let alone him.
But no matter how strong your martial arts are or how brave you are, you can't compare to a strong crossbow. It's not a coincidence, a strong crossbow that can shoot more than 100 steps, and there are hundreds of them!
With Beiyan's order, the banners of each department waved the golden drum, and the panicked military heart was slightly stabilized, and then the first to move was hundreds of heavily armored, holding long soldiers of the warlord's team, with their backs to Beiyan facing the battlefield to make two rows, two long spears Ge Ping blocked the retreat of the rout, and then from the left and right of the supervising team into more than 200 Youzhou soldiers holding crossbows, accompanied by a tooth-souring winding sound, the next moment the crossbow arrows passed through the air like flying locusts, and chased after Le.
Le Jin was satisfied to smash Zhang Mill to death, and with a shout, the entire rest of the Zhang Mill fell into chaos, so far he was not worried about how to get out, so he led one hundred and ten followers to shout out, rushing left and right, all invincible, as if walking in the courtyard rushed Zhang Mill's army to pieces.
Just when he was satisfied, he suddenly heard the sound of the neat golden drum and the broken strings in the northeast, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the crossbow arrows shooting like locusts, and it was too late to dodge, so he hurriedly shouted and ordered the soldiers to hide, and hid behind a marching drum.
In an instant, the cries and shouts converged, and Le Jin, who had been lucky enough to escape, turned around, and his subordinate soldiers were not left behind the crossbow arrows, and the killing and wounding were very heavy, which made him so angry that he screamed, and turned his head to the north, and saw a big banner with humble characters whistling, and those defeated soldiers cried and shouted to be regrouped and rushed to kill. Behind the routs who drove the ducks to the shelves, the figures could see the overseers dressed neatly in red iron armor, and they were imposing.
The rout is a double-edged sword, although most of the rout soldiers play the role of losers in the war, but in fact, if the momentum of the rout is stopped, and they are forced to clash against the enemy line, the lethality is no less than that of the most ferocious soldiers...... Because as long as the rout can stop the momentum, it means that they have put life and death aside, after all, advancing and retreating are death, and the forward conflict is not necessarily dead, but the overseer team behind them is the most ruthless, rather than dying in the hands of their own people, it is better to die in the hands of the enemy!
This kind of life-and-death clash of armies, no matter how strong the army is, cannot hold it.
Le Jin knew that it was going to be bad, and he couldn't help but regret why he didn't quit quickly after killing the enemy general, and it was too late to turn back now, and there were only dozens of subordinates left, even if he got a great feat, what could he do?
Just when he saw that the Yan Army's strong crossbow array was about to fire again, suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Where is Le Wenqian!" ”
Looking back almost made Le Jin burst into tears, he had never seen the Li family soldiers so hot, only to see Li Dian lead hundreds of troops to come with horses and spears, and the guards behind him were big and long, and dozens of remnants of his subordinates immediately boosted their morale, Le Jin shouted his name and fought hard to kill the more than ten Yan troops who rushed up, and went towards Li Dian's department.
Bei Yan also saw this sudden stormtrooper, and hurriedly dispatched troops, leaving Li Dian and Le Jin alone, and immediately led the army to obliquely insert into the front line where the Li family soldiers and Zhang Nian's troops had fought before, wanting to cut off their way back...... Who Li Dian is, Bei Yan doesn't know, but Lejin is a celebrity! Bei Yan knew that if he could bring back the brain of this 'happy dwarf' to the king, it would definitely be the first merit of this battle.
And in addition to meritorious service, Beiyan also needs the head of Lejin to pay tribute to Zhang Nian!
"Wen Qian retreated quickly, the Wuhuan soldiers raided the rear formation, my brother can't stand it!"
Li Dian shouted at Le Jin, raised the iron spear and flew two feather arrows, the huge force carried by the Tan Bow shook his arm numb, and shouted to assign the soldiers with shields to line up in the rear to block the pursuing soldiers, and sent someone to bring a horse to Le Jin, and drove Le Jin away with a gun on the horse's hips.
He saw the battle clearly, originally Lejin had an absolute advantage, whether it was before or after killing Zhang Nian, he had countless opportunities to retreat, but that reckless energy came up and chose to fight to the death many times, I really don't know how this brain grows.
Li Dian is not Lejin, most of the Li family soldiers under him are related to him, most of them are Li clans, especially the generals of each department are relatives and elders, not to mention that the eight hundred daring soldiers like Lejin are all trapped in the battle, that is, they died in one hundred, Li Dian is distressed!
After pulling out the shield array for a hundred and ten breaths, Li Dian pulled out a line of defense again after the first line, and then personally stood out and fought with the pursuers for a while, taking advantage of the gap to avoid the soldiers in front of him, but even so, he still couldn't get the slightest advantage against the hundreds of crossbowmen who were inferior to the back...... Because he didn't dare to rush up to fight, he created an excellent opportunity for the crossbowmen, even if the soldiers were equipped with large shields, they could not avoid being shot by the crossbows.
The strangest thing is that the strong crossbow of the Youzhou soldiers can shoot arrows in the run, and they are extremely stable, and the entire strong crossbow array is like a skirmish without a formation in the pursuit, but it can shoot all the crossbow arrows in their military formation, as if it was shot by the army array.
This caused heavy losses to Li Dianbu.
When Li Dian successfully rescued Lejin here, and then pulled out the army to return to Li's entire army, the entire Li clan's family soldiers still inevitably suffered heavy casualties, for no other reason...... Their uniforms are so deceptive that no matter how far or close they look, they won't think it's an elite soldier until they fight, who made them look so like stragglers?
There is no way, there are not many strong and powerful troops in this era, especially in the Youzhou area where the Wuhuan soldiers live, the strong soldiers and horses are even weaker, not to mention, just say that when Yanbei ruled Youzhou, several counties and counties in the central part of Youzhou had strong rebellions, and those people's soldiers were less than hundreds, thousands, or even thousands, but what was the result? Yanbei just sent Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 troops, and it took a few months to completely pacify, which can be said to be from south to north, all the way to level!
As a result, just like Zhang Nian misunderstood that the Li family soldiers were a rabble, the Wuhuan leader Gu Jin also misunderstood, and thousands of Wuhuan horsemen rushed to the rear of the Li family soldiers with the mentality of beating the water dogs, and the results speak for themselves!
