(Thanks for the tip, thank you, thank you!) ）

Liu Xun separated a group of twelve people from the Flying Sword Capital as archers and arranged them to go upstairs in Guancheng. Ma Xing and his forty-eight brothers, all of whom were wounded and exhausted, were all arranged by Liu Xun to go to the city as archers. More than 1,000 arrows were collected, and all of them were distributed among the sixty men, and each of them was given 200 arrows.

The remaining 188 people of the Flying Sword Capital were all behind the chariot formation built under the city pass, with swords, guns, swords, and shields in hand, and they simply blocked the two sides of the road to the city with wood. Ma Xing's sixty men were all archers, and it was safer for them to block the horse road at the head of the city.

After all this was done, the remaining half of the men and horses of the rampage had already arrived, and they planted torches all over the way, making a huge noise, but in fact, there were only more than a hundred people. Their brought, Liu Xun and others were very happy. Not only did they add more than a hundred people, but they also brought war horses and armor equipment for two hundred people with flying swords. When they captured the gate before, they also killed about 100 Shatuo soldiers, but these Shatuo people were not elites, just old and weak and newly recruited soldiers, and many of them did not even have weapons, let alone armor.

Now that everyone is putting on the elite armor of the Zhendong Army again, the momentum has suddenly reached a higher level. In particular, the 200 crossbows that accompanied the army added a lot of combat effectiveness to them.

In addition to these weapons and armor, even the dried meat and canned food they brought with the army also brought, and before the war began, nearly 400 people began to quickly fill their stomachs. In Ma Xing's words, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost.

"Brethren. Eat and drink to your heart's content. Fuck the shatuo wolf cub. You don't have to worry about what happens behind you. Our county magistrate is known for his sympathetic subordinates. Even if we die here, our family's fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, and even our sons have adopted sons from the county princess. The head is off but the wrist is a big scar, and we will be under the command of the county prince after eighteen years. Ma Xing distributed the canned food and dried meat that the generals had given them to his brothers, and they took turns to drink a bag of fruit wine during the war.

"The deputy doesn't need to say much. The brethren understand. The deputy of the horse team treats the brothers benevolently, and everyone follows the team deputy in vain. We are all from southern Liaoning, and we are all veterans for many years. After being a soldier for so many years before, the brothers did not dare to fight because they were worried about their families behind them. What was that place in southern Liaoning before? It can be said that there is no year without war, that is, there is no war, and you usually rob me and take it, and you are afraid to live. But now it's different, there are county princes in southern Liaoning now. The days also look like there is a rush. Just rush this, we have to work for the county princess. There must be no intimidation. ”

Liu Xun and Li Cunxiao were most of the soldiers directly under the four capitals of Liaoning. Now the soldiers of the two compartments and ten battalions in Liaonan have basically been completely dispersed by Li Jing at the moment. These soldiers were scattered and reorganized, and after staying with the soldiers and horses of the Zhendong Army for a period of time, their concepts also changed greatly. The life of the Liaonan family was good, and they ate Li Jing's food and Li Jing's salary, especially the night school held classes in the evening when they were free every day, and the instructors carried out some ideological work from time to time. Now, these people have a strong sense of identity with the Zhendong Army.

It is said that there is a difference when there is a contrast, and when there was chaos in southern Liaoning in the past, I couldn't experience any differences. It was only after they could move from the Liaonan Army to the Zhendong Army that they immediately felt the complete difference between the two armies. Although the time is not too long, these soldiers have already completely identified with the Zhenjiang army.

Ma Xing is not a soldier in southern Liaoning, he used to be a sailor of Da Xie Yan, who surrendered in front of his old boss Zhang Lie, and then gradually came to this day, he has also experienced the feelings in the hearts of these Liaonan soldiers under him. It is precisely because of the bad mix in the past that they will cherish the life that surprises them more and more in the Zhendong Army.

"The whole team! Man your posts! Liu Xun's deputy general, Liu Juncheng, raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"Bow and arrow ready!" Ma Xing at the head of the city also leaned the arrows he had received on the city wall, and shouted, "After the wolf cubs of Shatuo come up, give his mother a salvo first." Remember to squat and be careful not to show your head too much, some of these wolf cubs are very good at archery. ”

After the car formation under the city, more than 300 elite soldiers immediately lined up around the car formation, leaned on the Guan Lou with their backs, leaned on the car formation in front, and stood in front of the front and rear columns. In the front row are officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers of all ranks, and in the back row are those who have only underclass, third-class and senior soldiers.

Everyone in the front row clutched their spears and shields in their hands, while the soldiers in the back row still held their bows in their hands, and they had to shoot a few rounds before waiting for the enemy to get close before picking up their spears and shields at their feet. In front of them, the arrows in the quiver had been drawn out and inserted into the ground in front of them, so that they could take the arrows more quickly when shooting.

In addition to these, Liu Xun also had people pile up the corpses that had been killed under the closed door earlier outside the car array, and built a corpse wall in the city, which was half a chest high. The weapons of these people were taken by Liu Xun and them, and after simple processing, the spears became javelins and axes became throwing axes.

The Zhendong Army had the habit of throwing spears, and after Li Jing was equipped with a new type of spear thrower in the army, spear throwing became one of the training subjects. A spear thrower is a very simple piece of equipment, usually a flat bone or plank, about a foot or three feet long, with a spear shaft carriage and grip with finger grooves on the grip. This throwing device is similar to a catapult in that it is designed to be the most effective and less laborious mechanical device for increasing lethality and range. The spear thrower was simple and practical, and even a slender man could use it to pierce the fur of large beasts.

Used in the military, it can greatly enhance the long-range strike capability. Its range can easily reach sixty to a hundred paces, and its range is comparable to that of a bow and arrow, but it is far more powerful than a bow and arrow. Almost as lethal as a heavy crossbow.

These spear-converted lances, although lacking a tail fin, can also throw at least forty to fifty paces away, and the effect against dense enemy soldiers cannot be ignored.

The dull sound of trombone sounded, and under the dark night, it was illuminated as bright as day by countless torches. Under the flickering firelight, there is the black banner of the Shatuo people. Immediately under the banner was the entire team of soldiers and horses sent by Li Sizhao. These people didn't rush up in the same chaos as before. Fueling tactics.

Chen Tieshan led the whole team of 500 Shatuo soldiers and horses to advance slowly. And along the way, he also captured many defeated soldiers who escaped from the pass. And he also pulled a few patrols over, and he brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses after the last round. Moreover, Li Sizhao is still transferring more soldiers and horses stationed on the other side.

The footsteps of thousands of people stepped over like thunder.

Under the black banner of the Shatuo Army, Chen Tieshan reined in his mount, and at a glance saw the wooden fence built by the chariot markers and other wood piled up under the Guancheng, as well as the corpse wall piled up with the corpses of the Shatuo soldiers outside the wooden fence.

He estimated in his heart that there would be a maximum of three hundred people behind the battle. If you add the shadowy archers at the head of the city, there are less than five hundred people together.

Damn, just such a small person, he actually took the door down. Thinking about it again, there were only eighteen assassins in the town general's mansion, but he had already killed Liu Zhijie and captured three generals as hostages, and he felt aggrieved in his heart. Fuck, what kind of bird war is this!

"Big brother, wait for me to charge and break the formation. Take back the gates! The brave Chen Yushan carried a long-handled battle axe and urged the horse to come to it. Facing his brother Chen Tieshan, he said: "I heard that the large forces of the Zhendong Army are coming one after another, if you don't recapture Guancheng immediately, Taixi Pass will not be guaranteed." ”

Even if the city is recaptured, it will be difficult to protect this Thai opera pass. Chen Tieshan was annoyed for a while, the three main generals of Guancheng had become hostages of others, and there were 5,000 soldiers and horses in Guancheng, and now they all listened to the commander of the little Li Sizhao, and many people were not convinced by this. But Mrs. Liu left again, and I really don't know how to fight this battle.

The mountain armor on Chen Yushan's body was extremely shiny in the firelight, this was the armor given by Li Kexiu himself, and it also marked his identity as a fierce general.

"Okay, you take the people up first, and be careful of the archers on the city." Chen Tieshan nodded his head after the end, let Li Sizhao's kid worry about the affairs in Guanzhong, he better take this gate down first. Yushan is right, most of the enemy's reinforcements are close at hand.

The front of the pass is narrow, and it is not suitable for a thousand people to go together, but it is easy to become the enemy's target, Chen Tieshan divided a thousand people into three parts, ready to take turns to attack uninterruptedly, and take a wave directly after the most rear.

"The front row advances with shields, and the archers in the back row follow slowly!" Chen Yushan did not rush forward directly, but shrewdly lined up with shields in front, then spearmen in the middle, and archers in the back.

Three hundred soldiers and horses took advantage of the night to launch an attack on the pass.

"Blow the trumpet!"

The horns of the Shatuo soldiers were like the cry of a wolf king, leading the wolves to attack.

The offensive has begun!

"Raise your shield!" Liu Xun ordered the shield to be raised as soon as the horn sounded. Suddenly, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row quickly raised the shields in their hands, and the round shields were layered on top of each other, covering most of the more than 300 people, like a huge turtle shell.

At the same time as the shield was raised, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and then the soldiers of the Zhendong Army who were hiding under the shield array heard the sound of ping-pong on the shield above their heads like hailstones.

After three waves of arrow rain, a sharp iron whistle sounded on the city behind him, as well as Ma Xing's loud voice: "Shoot, shoot the damn, take out all your strength to eat, nervously release the arrows quickly, and look up directly at the five consecutive rounds!" ”

With this shout, the sixty archers at the head of the city also began to wield their might. Sixty cavalry horn bows were fired at the same time, and the arrows formed a metal storm in the air, passing over the heads of Liu Xun and the others below, and smashing into the Shatuo army formation after roaring.

The Shatuo people also raised their shields to cover them, but in the process of advancing, they could not get into it like Liu Xun and them like turtle shells, and several people were unable to stop them at that time, and were shot by arrows falling from the sky.

The Shatuo people only had time to shoot three waves in advance, but the archers with the battlements on the head of the city shot six waves. Standing on the top of the city, they can shoot farther, and they can shoot arrows with more peace of mind.

After the long-range mutual attack, the soldiers and horses of the Shatuo people had already arrived in front of Liu Xun's formation.

In the gap between the shields, the cold light of the sword flashed, and the commands of the fire commander and the leader of the team came and went.

On the side facing the Shatuo people, Liu Xun carried the refined sword made of iron given by Li Jing, and stood leisurely under the city gate cave, hunting and fluttering the military flag of the flying sword capital beside him. Every soldier could see him and the banner, and all his subordinates were infected by his confidence and calmness, and firmly carried out his orders.

"Crossbowmen in the back row, ready, release the arrows!"

Liu Xun opened the strong bow in his hand, mounted three arrows at a time, and aimed directly at the standard-bearer next to the officer.

The flag is where the morale of an army lies, and if the flag falls as soon as the war starts, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army.

There was a strange whistling sound in the sky, and the tall Shatuo people who were following Chen Yushan immediately understood that an arrow was coming. Immediately listen to the sound to identify the position, and then quickly hide to the other side. Just moved sideways to pass the arrow. Who knew that the second arrow of the road actually arrived immediately after the first arrow, and that arrow was still shooting at his position at this time.

Although the standard-bearer was tall, he was very agile and moved sideways to the other side, dodging the arrow.

After a series of two arrows in a row, the standard-bearer couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly there was a loud bang, and then the third arrow arrived. This time, he couldn't dodge, he was directly shot by an arrow in the front door, screamed, fell off the horse, and the Shatuo military flag in his hand also fell under the horse and disappeared without a trace.

"Datang, Datang!" The archers at the head of the city who saw this scene cheered in unison and shouted loudly.

Although the soldiers below who were still hiding in the shells of the turtles did not understand what was happening, they also knew that it must be a good thing. hurriedly shouted together below, and the momentum suddenly shook the sky, and the morale of the whole army was high.

Chen Yushan didn't expect that before he officially handed over, his own flag bearer had already been killed by the enemy, and the deputy flag bearer had not yet come to receive the flag, and the flag had already been caught under the horse's hooves.

After Liu Xun's three arrows killed the opponent's standard-bearer and banner, the soldiers behind the formation also opened their bows and shot arrows.

Bloodstained! People shout and neigh!

The star-like arrows swept through the Shatuo people's front army with rapid speed.

Some even shot through iron helmets into their heads! Penetrate the breastplate and shoot into the heart! Shoot through the shield through the arm!

No one thought that behind the formation of those hundreds of people, there was still such an archery team hidden. Chen Yushan's 300 soldiers and horses suddenly suffered a big loss, and dozens of people were shot down at once.

In the blood and dust, the men and horses who were hit by the arrows let out a scream of pain, and the fallen beings struggled in the blood!

The brave shouts of the Shatuo people stopped abruptly!

Ma Xing took the opportunity to greet the archers who had just finished shooting the first wave of five rounds of arrows, and seized the opportunity of the vacancy in the shield formation in the front row of this Shatuo people, and fired his bow and arrows again, this time with a precise strike. After another five rounds of shooting, Chen Yushan's 300 men had already dropped nearly a hundred corpses, and finally rushed to the wall of corpses made of Shatuo corpses.

They were greeted by a dazzling spear behind the cart formation! (To be continued......)
