Because the Tu Road on the north shore of Onozawa is surrounded by muddy swamps and lakes to the south, and undulating hills and trees on the north side, rangers can only travel ten miles backwards and forwards on slightly dry roads, but they can still serve as a warning and anti-enemy.

Hearing that there was a fight ahead, the soldiers became slightly nervous, and under the summoning of the military officials, they quickly assembled from the elongated column into a dense queue, and the chariots of Zhao Wuxian and Zifu He were surrounded in the middle.

Zhao Wuxian also noticed that there were occasional sporadic homeless people fleeing to this side, and some of them still had scars on their bodies, and some even had broken heads and bleeding.

"What the hell is going on?"

Yu Xilema said: "Doctor, it is the robbers of Onozawa who are besieging a convoy with some displaced people, and now they are in a stalemate in front. ”

Zifu He's eyes rolled again, and he instigated Zhao Wuxian and said: "Doctor, it must be the convoy of a scholar doctor who has been surrounded by Daze robbers, we have hundreds of soldiers, it is better to go and help them break the siege!" ”

He wanted to see the combat strength of these soldiers under Zhao Wuxian, so as to weigh his strength and whether it was worth the Meng clan to spend a lot of money to win over.

Wuxian knew that this person was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he was not excited, but asked Zifu He to be restless, and then asked hurriedly: "What is the number of their generation, the geometry of the armor, what kind of weapons are used, and is there an ambush in the terrain?" ”

Yu Xi reported one by one, and it turned out that there were three hundred robbers in front of him, of which more than ten were wearing armor, and three or four were open-bowed; There are more than 200 homeless people, with no armor or armor on their bodies, only tattered brown clothes. Occasionally, the robbers used spears, most of them only carried farm tools and chopped wood for soldiers, and the terrain here was flat, and there were no other ambushes.

"The other party's formation is scattered, not an organized elite of thieves, probably just hungry thieves who plundered passing convoys."

In order to focus on decisiveness, Zhao Wuxian immediately ordered everyone to move after hearing this, and after walking for several miles, he heard a chaotic commotion in front of him.

I saw four or five hundred bandits and outcasts in a circle. At the front of them was the corpse of a fallen and dead rogue, poked with holes and blood seeping into the soft mud. Surrounded in the middle was a convoy.

After seeing the formation of those trapped people, Zhao Wuxian and his subordinates Mu Xia and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

Like, it's too similar!

But I saw more than ten large cars concentrated on resisting outside, and the cars were walls. Cattle and horses were included, forming a makeshift barracks. Inside, there were twenty or thirty apprentices, and the most striking thing was the twenty or so one-and-a-half-zhang bamboo spears that stretched out from the gap in the car barrier. There were no complicated weapons in it, only a few soldiers with crowns holding recurved bows, and they divided the train on all sides of the ramparts, taking turns shooting arrows and resting.

When the robbers and outcasts entered the range of the bow, they would be hit by two arrows, and if they went further, they had to break through the long bamboo spears, because the blades in their hands did not exceed one zhang, so they could not advance.

With their organizational strength, they could not attack in order. There weren't enough long-range weapons, so they were blocked on the perimeter. Looking at the soft flesh in this bamboo hedgehog, he couldn't get close to half a step, he could only keep shouting and throwing mud and stone clods, and the people in the Nai array couldn't.

Zhao Wuxian saw it from a distance and praised: "The leader of these trapped people is a soldier who knows the soldiers, this is the four martial arts rushing formation commonly used in the art of war to deal with a large number of scattered enemies!" ”

The formation he taught to the martial arts was also a variant of the Four Martial Rushing Formations that was transformed after seeing and hearing it in later generations. And looking at the strict formation, the blood-stained bamboo spears that were one and a half feet long, and the trouble they caused to the bandits with short arms, Zhao Wuxian even thought at first that it was a group of lone soldiers.

And because of that. Zhao Wuxian was also more curious about the besieged commander, and he had a feeling of "the hero sees the same thing".

At present, it seems that there are no people in the Gang Nai array, but as more and more homeless people come to besiege them. This situation will also end. Emaciated camels crushed horses, and if robbers and homeless people were to pile them up, this little camp would be crushed.

Zifu saw that those people looked like soldiers in Zhongduyi, so he was a little anxious: "Doctor, should we save or not?" ”

"Of course I want to save it!"

Just because the tactics of those trapped coincided with his own soldiers, Zhao Wuxian was determined to help them. Look at them again!

Just as the two were talking, a burst of cheers and commotion broke out again in front of them.

Zhao Wuxian and the others looked at it and saw such a scene: the robbers were surviving in Dayozawa, and their ability to use nature was extremely high, and after a while, dozens of people ran over from the northwest carrying a few slender tree trunks three or four feet long. They had the whims to go to the woods to cut down the trees, and as long as they stabbed at the cart array, they could destroy it and plunder the grain carried by the convoy to their heart's content!

Saying that it was too late, Zhao Wuxian decisively ordered: "Quickly form a formation and move forward, the spear opens the way, the sword and shield, and the strong crossbow are second, and the light cavalry is spread on both wings, and after approaching, use the spear and the second section to shoot the enemy in front of you!" ”

……

The leader of the besieging convoy was named Shuo, who was born in the month of Shuo, hence the name. He was stout, wearing ill-fitting armor that he had picked up from nowhere, and a rusty bronze jacket on his head.

Thief Shuo is a "brigade commander" under the leader of Onozawa, who is responsible for intercepting and looting Tu Dao north of Anozawa, and after seeing this convoy of no more than thirty or forty people today, he was itchy for a while. He dragged 200 homeless people and rushed up, but he ran into a hard stubble, hit his head and bleed, and now he has left more than a dozen corpses, but he has not been able to kill a single enemy.

Most of the attackers were thin and ragged, some of the bandits were armed with broken weapons, and the rest were pure outcasts and thieves, all of whom had a troll, and a few simply took a large branch.

At this time, they couldn't attack for a long time, but they were also smart, remembering the method used by the big leader to lead them to break through the city, and they were about to cut down branches to break through, but there was a pawn under the banner of the Lu army in the rear.

"It's the reinforcements called by the Yi soldiers!" Some people screamed, and most of them were ready to run, but the thieves stopped them.

"The great leader once defeated the 1,500 people who entered the Ze with 1,000 people, not to mention that our number is four times that of his generation!"

He opened his mouth and shouted: "It is the soldiers of Yuncheng who come, if they are allowed to succeed, we will all starve to death, those who retreat will be killed, those who kill a soldier will be rewarded with a bucket of Su, and there will be women to serve after returning to Juye." ”

The group of thieves suddenly howled, these robbers all had a bloody bravery, most of them were also desperate farmers who were cornered by the Yuncheng doctor, once they exceeded the limit of their patience. These most honest peasants will become bloodthirsty fanatics.

The bandits were in the front, the homeless people were behind, and the thieves and five or six strong bandits were at the front. They were armed with foot bows. Stop and shoot an arrow a few steps before running, no matter if you miss the shot, it seems that you have practiced, and each person shoots three or four branches in a moment, trying to scare off the "Yuncheng Yi pawn" who came to you.

However, in the face of such a non-threatening arrow. But the warriors were unmoved.

Under the order of Zhao Wuxian, Su Shouyu, the commander of the crossbowmen, quickly led the crossbowmen from Wen County to line up in two one-line horizontal formations, each with an interval of three feet, and twenty or thirty two-stone crossbows aimed at the group of thieves rushing from the opposite side. Mucha's sword and shield men and spearmen were on guard, leaving a gap for the crossbowmen to retreat.

Two or three hundred bandits had already rushed fifty or sixty paces away, and their eyebrows were clearly visible, and at this point, they had also seen the array and equipment of the people coming from the opposite side, and even the thieves felt that something was wrong.

"Why is the array so regular, and everyone in the back is wearing armor, and the archers in front don't even shake their hands. It's like looking at us like you're looking at ......"

Target?

This is definitely not a Yuncheng pawn!

"Buckle the hanging knife!"

After opening his mouth to shout these words, Su Shouyu, the crossbow soldier, also took a one-armed crossbow from Wangshan Mountain, aimed at the head of the armored thief who was running at the front, and forcefully pulled the hanging knife connected to the bronze machine. It let out a slight scraping sound of metal, followed by the whizzing sound of arrows leaving the strings, and flew into the dense crowd of bandits like a swarm of locusts.

Puff puff, puff, seven or eight people in front of the rushing group of thieves fell to the ground at the same time, and so did the leader of the thieves.

Clusters of sharp bronze arrows easily sliced through the bodies of the bandits, and the arrows pierced the skin and spun rapidly by inertia, and the metal wings churned the muscles and internal organs into minced flesh. After encountering the bone, it breaks and deforms in a sudden obstruction.

The weapons of war in the era of cold weapons were not very lethal, so the thieves and a few unlucky men did not die for a while after they fell to the ground, but let out a seeping scream, within a distance of fifty steps. A simple short-coat short brown could not stop the volley of two stone crossbow arrows.

Because of the lack of manpower, the crossbowmen could only shoot two shots, and this gap in the winding was made up by Zhao Wuxian and Zifu He on the chariot, who also stood on the chariot and fired arrows at the dense bandits, knocking over several people who rushed in front.

After two rounds of shooting, the spearman and the sword and shield pawn stepped forward in a neat footstep to the beating rhythm of Mucha and the drummer. A dense assault phalanx was formed, while the crossbowmen retreated to the back to wind up. However, although the time for them to change positions was short, the group of thieves on the opposite side reacted more quickly, and when Zhao Wuxian opened his bow again and shot over one person, he saw more than a dozen bandits rolling all over the ground, as well as the backs of a fleeing in front of him.

The fiercest bandits in front suffered heavy casualties, and the salvo of crossbow arrows and well-ordered swords, shields, and spears had a great deterrent effect on them, and the vagrants who were under duress in the rear were quickly demoralized, and turned and fled in all directions, and nearly three or four hundred men collapsed with no more than one-twentieth of the casualties.

The soldiers had been calmly preparing for a fierce battle with less fighting, but they did not expect that the group of thieves, who had just been extremely vicious, would be scared away after two salvos of crossbow arrows. Zifu He knew the temperament of these Lu country thieves, and he breathed a sigh of relief, these thieves really didn't fight, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard was so serious, and they didn't even try the ability of the warriors to run away.

An important ability of a general is to deal with all kinds of changes on the battlefield, and this is true of setbacks, as well as when encountering enemies who cannot help but fight.

Zhao Wuxian immediately changed his formation, ordering the spearmen and sword and shield men to trot head-on in pursuit, while more than a dozen single horsemen galloped wildly, leaving dozens of prisoners behind.

Just after Zhao Wuxian and his side defeated most of the bandits, the besieged convoy also began to counterattack. The archers inside threw a round at the sluggish group of thieves who turned their heads to watch the battle, catching them off guard, and the apprentices holding spears also rushed out of the "Four Martial Arts Rushing Formation" that had just been defended, stabbing the group of thieves to the heart, and more than 100 people here also collapsed and fled.

When the battle was over, the men and horses on both sides approached vigilantly, observing each other's identities.

Zifu He stood on the car, and when he saw the young man on the opposite side who was carrying a bow and arrows and holding a spear looking at this side, he couldn't help but shout: "Ziyou?" Why are you here. ”

"Son has?" Zhao Wuxian's gaze turned to the leader of the scholars, who was the leader of these attackers, and the one who used the chieftain spear to form a four-martial charge.

The Nashi man wore a blue cloth on his head, his body was not burly, and his eyes were not sharp and proud, but humble and steady. He also recognized Zifu He, the messenger of the command who passed by Zhongdu Yi some time ago, and naturally guessed the identity of Zhao Wuxian, so he threw away the spear, unloaded the bow and handed it to his companion, and walked forward with standard etiquette to bow down a few steps:

"Ran Qiu has seen Dr. Zhao, Doctor Zifu! Thanks to the rescue, dare not to worship? (To be continued.) )
