Chapter 359: Hit More with Less

"Stand down!" Sideways to the officer who stepped forward to fight Gongsun Fan whispered, and when the officer retreated, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Gongsun Fan with an indifferent face: "General Gongsun, this king's command is just a protector, and this is the only point, if you want to come to this king's army, it will be stronger than this rabble led by you." ”

"Not necessarily! This general recommended a person for the king of Luoyang, and this person and his subordinates were originally loyal to the king! Those village women were abused and the villagers were killed, but they were all from this person's hand! How can the king say that his subordinates should be more faithful than those of the last general? Gongsun Fan shook his head with a strange smile on his face, first refuted Liu Wei, and then waved behind him and shouted: "General Zhu, don't come to see the king of Luoyang." ”

When Gongsun Fan's voice fell, a general wearing the armor of the Luoyang Army walked out from behind him. After the general came out of the ranks, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "General Zhu Yong of Baima County pays a visit to His Royal Highness. ”

Hearing what this person said, Liu Wei, who was riding on horseback, lowered his head and looked at him carefully. I saw that this person's skin was fair, but it was different from ordinary people, but it showed an almost sickly white, as if it was a white paper that had just been smoked with sulfur.

The general in front of him, his facial features are very small, not only the eyes are small, but even the nose, ears and mouth are all small of one color, and with the head like a jujube core and the two beards at the corners of the mouth, standing in front of people, it will make people feel like they are looking at rats.

Liu Wei has never seen this person, the Luoyang army is partial to the battalion, most of them are led by generals, and each county has three generals, each of whom leads 1,000 soldiers, and is responsible for the defense of the city. Because Liu Wei governed the local area and adopted a semi-military management system, although the city guards and county commanders were responsible for civil affairs on weekdays, when the enemy army attacked the city, they would take over military affairs and become the top local general.

It is precisely for this reason that in each city under Liu Wei's rule, two more generals will be arranged, one of whom is responsible for arrest and anti-theft, and the other is responsible for keeping an eye on whether there are any foreign spies infiltrating the city.

The official position of the generals is still lower than that of the partial generals, they are only the lowest generals who are higher than the small colonel, in the Luoyang army, there are not thousands of such people, but also seven or eight hundred, Liu Wei will not recognize the General Zhu in front of him.

"The last general is the general of Baima County who specializes in arresting enemy troops and exploring horses!" Seeing that Liu Wei was riding on the back of the horse without saying a word, just looking him up and down, Zhu Yong bowed with his fists and said to Liu Wei: "General Gongsun led the army to Baima, and the last general neglected to supervise, which is really a capital crime!" ”

"Capital offense, that's nature!" A faint smile tugged at the corner of Liu Wen's mouth, waved his hand at Zhu Yong, and said to him: "General Zhu's collusion with the Bohai Navy is also hard. With people like you in charge of surveying and exploring horses, it is no wonder that thousands of troops in the area of Baima have entered, but the local county order is unknown. ”

"Thank you for your highness's compliment!" With the same weird smile on his face as Gongsun Fan, Zhu Yong clenched his fists and bowed, and his tone was full of playfulness and abuse to Liu Wei: "The county order is only regarded as a recent surge in the population of Baima, and it is too late to be happy, how can it be strictly investigated?" However, although the last general should die, he doesn't really want to die, and he can't say it today, so he can only ask His Royal Highness to die on behalf of the last general! ”

"This king has really worked hard these days!" With his hands stretched out, Liu Wei stretched his waist on horseback, looked at Zhu Yong lazily, and said to him: "I have already had the heart to die, if I really die, this king can also be idle." General Zhu ...... What if you come and take the life of this king? It's good that you've got a lot of credit for it! ”

When he said this, Liu Wei's eyes glanced at Zhu Yong obliquely, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, obviously seeing that Zhu Yong did not dare to step forward.

Sure enough, when he heard Liu Wei say that he wanted him to come forward to take the credit, Zhu Yong hurriedly said: "General Gongsun led thousands of soldiers to come, if the last general robbed the credit, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel cold?" His Royal Highness will be upright in the end, and it is a great merit to bring His Highness here, and a small merit will make the soldiers better......"

"General Zhu!" Zhu Yong's words became more and more unpresentable, and Gongsun Fan also frowned slightly, interrupted his words, and said to him: "When I return to Jizhou, this general will present your merits to the former general, and I will not delay sending the king of Luoyang on the road." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Fan raised an arm and waved behind him.

The three or four thousand soldiers who came out of the ground immediately lined up in a phalanx, holding a round shield in one hand and a short spear issued by the officers and soldiers of the Luoyang Army's partial battalion in the other, slowly approaching Liu Wei and the others.

The distance between the two sides is very close, if Liu Wei leads the cavalry to rush quickly, the war horse will not be able to increase the fastest speed at all, and it will collide with the enemy.

Heavy cavalry relies on the impact force when charging, and once it crashes into the battlefield, it is generally impossible to cut down heavy infantry without infantry cooperation.

The enemy's array was advancing little by little, and Liu Wei raised his arm and shouted to the five hundred heavy cavalry following him: "Soldiers, how about I do infantry once today?" ”

"Obey His Highness's orders!" All the cavalry responded with their fists clenched, each holding a simple sword and a round shield, and their eyes stared at the enemy troops advancing towards them.

The enemy was wearing the armor of the Luoyang Army, and the only difference between the two sides was the tassels on the helmets.

The main force of the Luoyang Army, whether cavalry or infantry, has a bright red tassel on its helmet, while the soldiers of the partial battalion have nothing on their helmets.

Although the enemy troops approaching them were exactly the same as the cavalry led by Liu Wei, they did not have big red tassels on their helmets. If the two sides fight, Liu Wei is not afraid that he will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

"All helmets secured!" When the enemy army advanced to a distance of only twenty paces, Liu Wei shouted to the five hundred Luoyang cavalry behind him: "Dismount and meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" All the Luoyang troops responded, jumped off their horses, and quickly ran behind Liu Wei, holding a round shield in one hand and a Pu knife in the other hand, pointing the tip of the knife at the enemy who was advancing towards them, and the tail end of the knife handle was against the shoulder socket on their right side, and a pair of eyes stared at the enemy who was lining up and slowly moving forward.

"Kill!" When the officers and soldiers lined up in formation, Liu Wei drew his long sword, roared, and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy army opposite.

"Kill!" Five hundred Luoyang soldiers followed Liu Wei, and they all let out a shout, like a small torrent, rushing towards the enemy troops on the opposite side.

The number of people was far greater than that of the team led by Liu Bian, Gongsun Fan and Zhu Yong were absolutely sure of winning this battle, they did not expect Liu Bian to dare to take the initiative to attack, especially when they got off their horses and charged them on foot.

"Fight!" The distance between the two sides was only a dozen steps, Liu Wei led the army to pounce on the Bohai Navy wearing Luoyang army armor, and Gongsun Fan also hurriedly drew his long sword and gave a loud order to meet the battle.

The Bohai Navy, which was six or seven times larger than Liu Wei and the others, heard Gongsun Fan's order, and hurriedly stopped, wanting to stabilize the formation and withstand the impact of Liu Wei and the five hundred soldiers who charged with him.

The array of the Bohai Navy had not yet stabilized, and Liu Wei was the first to rush to their front, and Liu Wei, who had no shield and was wearing a people's deep coat, roared, leaned sideways and resisted the round shield in the hand of a Bohai Navy soldier with his shoulder.

At this collision, Liu Wei used all the strength of his body, and the Bohai Navy, who was holding a shield, under his vigorous resistance, the shield was tilted upward, and the whole person took a few steps backwards.

Without waiting for Na Bohai to put down his shield, Liu Wei, who had already stabilized his figure, squatted down suddenly, held the hilt of the sword in both hands, and slashed forward vigorously.

The sharp sword slashed past the lower abdomen of the Bohai Navy, who had just retracted his feet and had just taken a few steps backwards after being knocked by him.

As the long sword slashed, the leather armor on Na Bo Haijun's body was suddenly torn apart, accompanied by a stream of blood gushing out, and a lump of greasy large intestine poured out from the place where the leather armor was broken under the push of blood.

Before the Bohai Navy fell to the ground, Liu Wei twisted his body, dragged the round shield in the hand of the Bohai Navy, held the round shield in one hand, waved the long sword, and slashed towards the other Bohai Navy.

Liu Wei was so brave that the Luoyang army that charged with him was not far behind. Everyone shouted, holding round shields, and crashed into the Bohai Navy that was blocking them.

Although the Luoyang Army gave up their war horses, the huge impact of their charge was not something that the Bohai Navy, which had not yet stabilized its position, could easily withstand.

On the battlefield, there was a loud sound of shouts and shields colliding. Due to the force of the impact, some of the shields of the officers and men on both sides actually broke apart after only one collision with each other.

The shields of the Luoyang army are all made of oak, in order to save iron, in addition to the main force equipped with Pu knife and Mo knife, the weapons of the soldiers of the partial battalion are mostly short spears, but their shields are the same as the main force.

Solid oak shields will be broken, which shows how much force was used when the two sides collided.

A soldier of the Luoyang Army, after colliding with the opposite Bohai Navy with a shield, felt numb in his arm, and the shield was broken into two pieces with a crisp sound of "pop".

But the movement in his hand did not stop because of this, and he knocked the Bohai Navy backwards sharply, and the Luoyang Army, who was holding a half-truncated shield, stepped to follow, shook up the arm that was already numb, picked up the shield, and smashed it on the head of the Bohai Navy.

The Bohai Navy soldier who was hit by him and staggered backwards for several steps, also holding half of the broken shield, he was trying to stabilize his footing and launch a counterattack against the Luoyang army in front of him, when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

The black shadow slammed into the temple of the Bohai Navy with a strong wind, and it was not until it slammed on the head of the Bohai Navy soldier that the outline of its half of the shield was revealed.

His head was smashed by the shield, and the Bohai Navy's eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground, and the helmet he was wearing on his head was also smashed out of the air.

As soon as his body fell to the ground, Luoyang Jun, who gave him a head with half a shield, followed in a vertical manner, and the Pu knife in his hand flipped over, and the tip of the knife pierced into the socket of his left eye downward.

The sharp tip of the knife pierced into the left eye of the Bohai Navy, and a stream of black-red slurry shot out instantly, although the Luoyang soldier who stabbed the Bohai Navy to death with a knife did not bend down, but the strong pressure of the Bohai Navy's eyes still gushed out the blood like a high-pressure fountain, and his face was all over his body.

Bo Haijun, who was pierced through the eye socket by a sharp knife, kicked his legs a few times, his body spasmed, and he swallowed the last breath of the last breath, becoming a dead body lying on the battlefield.

The main officers and men of the Luoyang Army are all battle-hardened warriors, and both their combat experience and fighting will are far higher than the group of Bohai Navy brought by Gongsun Fan.

Although the war between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao still continued, and Gongsun Chan also had many divisions under his command, those armies, Gongsun Chan stayed in Jizhou, ready to guard against Yuan Shao's new attack at any time. The Bohai Navy brought by Gongsun Fan to Hongnong, in Gongsun Zhan's army sequence, can be said to be recruits who have not experienced many battles, although they are numerous, it is difficult to defeat the Luoyang army under Liu Wei for a while, and the battle between the two sides is actually in a stalemate.
