Chapter 867: The Battle Begins
Simo had a headache, and when he arrived with the army, Xiao Jiwen was already in full battle.
Although the mountain was not high, the slope was gentle, and there were not many trees, but the scattered boulders that had been prepared in advance were enough for his cavalry to lose their advantage.
In fact, Xiao Jiwen is also helpless, if she can, of course she hopes to build a camp, even if it is simple, it has a certain defensive power. However, time is limited, and there are only so many materials collected, which can only be used as a barrier in this scattered form.
If it's on flat ground, it's not a problem to have such a small obstacle. Without these obstacles, the relatively gentle slopes are of little use. But all together, it still has some effect.
There is also no way, the nearby mountains are either too small, or it is difficult to go up to people, and only this mountain with no obvious geographical advantage is the most convenient.
At this moment, the sun is gone, but it will take some time for the sky to get completely dark, if Ashina Sima wants to fight, after all, it is at this moment, it is dark to fight, and in the case of non-surprise attack, there will be no advantage.
Zhou Shaoyu sat on a tall horse and stood beside Xiao Yao's wife, very low-key and did not play the Zhou word flag, but it was Lu Lingqi, who hung out a Lu character flag very scratched.
This made Zhou Shaoyu a little dumbfounded.
Lu Lingqi has always stayed here with Xiao Yao, and in the end, Xiao Xiao's wife decided to send troops first, and then talk to Zhou Shaoyu, otherwise Lu Lingqi may not be able to handle the task of negotiation. The message is naturally passed by others, and there is no need for Lu Lingqi to run around.
So here's the problem, when Lu Lingqi went to see Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, she only brought dozens of people with her, and all the outfits she brought were simple, things like flags, obviously you don't need to bring them, but people just brought them, really, dozens of people and horses still have a flag, if you really fight, it's okay not to rush forward, really rush up, just look at you like a little person, and play a flag, okay, tell people that there is an officer here, and the good military exploits are sent to the door.
Turning her head to take a look, Lu Lingqi's girl was still a little excited, Zhou Shaoyu knew that the reason why Lu Lingqi was excited was not because she was going to fight, but because she was still different from Li Xiuning. She is excited that the banner of Lu Zi is flying, especially when she wins, she is the happiest.
In Lu Lingqi's words, the power of the Lu family has never decayed! She, Lu Lingqi, will inherit her father's bravery and make the Lu family famous again.
Of course, if you really talk about bravery, you can't compare with Yang Miaozhen, even compared to Liang Hongyu, it's almost hot, not to mention that you suddenly changed your weapon to Fang Tian's painting halberd, which always requires a process of getting used to familiarity, how powerful it is, but after all, it is stronger than ordinary people.
So if you want to inherit the brave martial arts or something, you have to come on, but ......
Well, the brain is relatively simple enough to be inherited, and this Nizi looks forward to partnering with Xin Xianying all day long, so that she doesn't have to use her brain much.
Well, that's no one's idea.
In fact, even if it is Lu Bu, it is not really brave and strategic, during the Three Kingdoms period, heroes and heroes came out in large numbers, Lu Bu broke into a great name, and once had a place in the troubled times, and Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others have all kinds of 'exchanges', this is not simple, even if there are strategists to help, then first he has to adopt it.
Zhou Shaoyu and Lu Bu got along, although the time was not long, and it was not enough for Zhou Shaoyu to know more, but it could not be denied Lu Bu's personal charm, although Zhang Liao finally surrendered to Cao Cao, this was not disloyalty to Lu Bu. And Gao Shun and others would rather die than surrender!
That is, what he did made his reputation ugly and could not attract other talents. Of course, this is also related to the background, and those families don't look down on it. is still the same sentence, the seemingly magnificent Three Kingdoms, behind it, the relationship between the various families is intricate and speechless, and if you study it carefully, the impression of the Three Kingdoms will be ruined.
"Do you want all of these people to be under your command for the time being?" Zhou Shaoyu pointed to the one hundred and fifty people he brought behind him and said with a smile.
"Really?" Lu Lingqi's eyes lit up, although she had brought more people and horses, but at this moment, she was not in someone else's army, and the conditions were limited. But if you can bring more people, why not?
Although it adds up to only 200, it can't stand up to all cavalry.
"What a lie to you." Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, do you still think that you have a chance to play?
If the war is so tragic that Zhou Shaoyu needs such a few people to do it, then the situation will be really critical.
At that time, I still think about how to break through and continue to fight? Not necessarily. Two thousand people can still try it depending on the situation, what are two hundred people used for.
"Shaoyu, do you think the Turks can attack?" Xiao Yuwen frowned, feeling that the current Turkic army was not quite the same as the previous ones, it was more disciplined, and it should be elite.
Zhou Shaoyu looked at the sky, thought about it, and said, "It shouldn't be, it's not worth it after all." ”
Slap in the face!
As soon as the words fell, a horn sounded in the Turkic army, and some of the Turks actually turned over and dismounted, carrying scimitars and rushing up.
Covering his face, Zhou Shaoyu felt so embarrassed.
Xiao Jiwen didn't have any expression, this kind of thing is inaccurate, if anything can be counted, wouldn't it be invincible?
This time, the Turks sent roughly 5,000 people as the vanguard, and the purpose was not to rush into battle, but to clear the outer obstacles first.
The archers under Xiao Ji's command were already on alert, and since they had not received orders, they did not fire their bows even if the Turkic vanguard had already entered the firing range.
The reason for not giving an order is also simple, at the moment the Turkic vanguard is just in the firing range, even if the order is given to release arrows, it will not cause many casualties, it is better to wait for the time being, if you go deeper, you can shoot a wave, otherwise there is no need to waste arrows.
However, the Turks obviously know more about bows and arrows, and they have been dangling on that line all the time, but they are not deep.
In a short time, an army of about 1,000 people came out, covered in iron armor. Unscrupulously enter the range to clear obstacles.
"Bastard!" Xiao Yuwen was angry, the Turks didn't have the ability to build this by themselves, and it was clearly looted from Zhenxi Mansion as a trophy.
This is very depressing, in the face of this kind of iron lump, archery is basically useless, and in the face of thousands of iron armor, even if you send people to encircle and suppress, the number of people will inevitably not be less.
However, if you get to that position in the front, the Turkic army can bend its bow and shoot arrows unscrupulously, and you will not be afraid of it anyway.
But can't they be left to clean up?
"There's no need to worry." Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and spoke out of relief. "This move is just a trick to lure the enemy, if we don't do anything, they will clean up like this, the sky will already turn dark, presumably they are not willing to fight at night. Even if there is no such factor, once the cleanup is closer, it will naturally be convenient for our side to send troops to encircle and suppress, after all, it is not easy to wear such an iron bump. ”
Xiao Yaowen nodded when she heard this, and agreed with Zhou Shaoyu's point of view, if she really sent troops to expel these iron lumps, it would be like thinking about it, thinking that it was indeed as Zhou Shaoyu said, this is to lure the enemy.
As long as Shima doesn't plan to fight at night, then it's not a big problem.
Si Mo really didn't plan to fight at night, and seeing that Xiao Yu's army was unmoved, he was also helpless, so he ordered to camp on the spot.
However, at this moment, an army appeared from afar, and the banner was Turkic! The banner is even the special khan banner of Ashina Falcon.
Zhou Shaoyu's face changed, and he said with a wry smile: "Before, it was just the strategy of the Turks to 'encircle and send reinforcements', but now, it is very likely that I will cause you heavy losses because of me, so I ordered to prepare for a night battle, of course, if you really want to hand me over, I have nothing to say." ”
Zhou Shaoyu didn't know that Ashina Falcon was not in that army at all, and he was completely frightened by the banner, but in fact, there was no difference, according to speculation, Ashina Falcon's strategy did not need more soldiers and horses at all, it would only be easy to be exposed.
But appearing here at this moment, it is obvious that he knows his whereabouts from somewhere, and it is clear that he is here to kill himself.
Xiao Jiwen also thought of this immediately.
The reason why he agreed to send troops was because Zhou Shaoyu swore that Ashina Falcon had been seriously injured by him and died for a short time, otherwise, even if she sent troops to help, it would not be of much use. The gap between infantry and cavalry is not so easy to bridge.
So when the Turkic army under the banner of Ashina Falcon appeared, Xiao Jiwen knew that this battle was going to be dangerous.
This made Xiao Jiwen's heart entangled for a while.
If Zhou Shaoyu is handed over, it is likely that the Turks will not attack her again, after all, as soon as Zhou Shaoyu dies, Xiao Jiwen will have no reason to continue to stay in Bingzhou, unless she is ready to completely fight the Turks head-on. But Xiao Xiaowen obviously doesn't have this strength yet. Even if you still attack, the intensity will not be violent.
However, if you really hand it over, it really goes against Xiao Jiwen's concept and is immoral. And once the matter comes out, her reputation as Xiao Sister-in-law will naturally stink, and no one will be convinced.
betrayed his ally, and this ally still has a great reputation, tsk, what do you think of the people in the world.
But if you don't make it, the Turks are obviously going to attack on a large scale, and it's easy to have a little surplus of their own troops, and then lose most of them here? It's still a win, but it's a lose......
"Needless to say! If he wants to fight, then he will fight. Xiao took a deep breath and made a final decision.
Even if you lose, as long as you live, you always have a chance. But if it is handed over, it will not only violate her concept, but also make her ideal orthodox and righteous beam dusty, and lose most of the people's hearts.
"Pass the order, coward, slash!" Xiao Yuwen's expression was solemn. "Tell the horse slashing team, hurry up and rest, and hand over the thousand iron armor to them."
The number of horse slaying team is 3,000, which is the most elite troops brought by Xiao Jiao's wife. Everyone is brave, and with distance, a knife to cut down, maybe not to split the iron lump, but it should not be difficult to cut down, the defense of the iron armor soldier is disgusting, but the action is extremely low, really fall, and then get up is not so easy, this process is completely enough to find an opportunity to make up for the knife.
And three thousand against one thousand, it shouldn't be a big problem.
In any case, the Turks are good at horse warfare, and foot combat is also good, but it is not to say that the combat power is multiplied by a single iron lump, this thing also needs to be trained.
As long as the iron armor is solved and not charged, even if the other Turkic armies rush up, even if the casualties will definitely not be small, it is always okay to hold on.
Zhou Shaoyu didn't pretend to ask if he needed to do anything, it was not necessary, it was too false, two hundred people, even if it was all cavalry, it would be useless.
After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the Turkic army, which had been preparing to set up camp, really launched an attack, some of them were thrown on horses, and the rest were dismounted and fought on foot, with the thousand iron armor as the vanguard, and launched a charge on the mountain.
And as soon as it came up, the whole army charged without scruples, and the momentum was terrifying.
The horse slashing team stood at the forefront with a long knife of nearly three meters, and when the thousand iron bumps approached, they would immediately meet them.
And Zhou Shaoyu took a longbow early and began to release cold arrows.
Compared with the original rookie, Zhou Shaoyu's progress in all aspects is not small. I don't dare to say if it's far away, but within a hundred steps, it's still okay out of ten, and the closer the distance, the more sure I am.
I have to say that the iron armor of Zhenxi Mansion is really disgusting, and it is called a tight body on the body, and even the face can be covered, leaving only the eyes. If this kind of thing is in your own hands, it is undoubtedly a big killing weapon, but if it is in the hands of the enemy, it will be very painful.
Zhou Shaoyu's progress in archery is indeed not small, but it has not yet reached the point of passing through Yang in a hundred steps, not to mention that people are still moving. In addition to his own archery, he also needs some luck.
Stretch the bow, take the arrow, and have a calm mind.
The arrow was shot in a rapid arc, and with a scream, a Turkic ironclad fell to the ground.
"Oh......!" All the soldiers chanted in unison.
I have to say that although it was only one killing, it was a big boost to morale. The big war is coming, everyone clenches the blade in their hands, saying that it is impossible not to be nervous and afraid, and now there is an outlet, of course, we must also be relaxed.
Zhou Shaoyu exhaled, to be honest, this arrow is not too sure, maybe fighting alone, Yang Miaozhen is gradually not an opponent, but in the column of archery, Yang Miaozhen is still a cow, after all, this is not just a matter of physical fitness.
Once did an experiment, Zhou Shaoyu threw a copper coin hard, and Yang Miaozhen raised the bow, took the arrow, took the arrow, and shot the arrow, all in one go, and in such a short reaction time, he was still able to accurately hit the copper coin, this hand archery skill is admirable.
That's already a feeling at all, no need to aim, looking at the direction of the copper coin, the movement of the hand naturally knows that the bow and arrow can be shot at that position. This point was also practiced by Shaoyu last week, but it hasn't reached that heat yet.
With a good start of the first arrow, Zhou Shaoyu did not rush to shoot the second arrow, but waited for the distance to be closer, and then opened the bow again.
At the same time, dozens of miles to the east. Another army was stationed here.
"Report, Your Majesty, fifty miles to the west, I found that the two armies were facing each other, and judging by their banners, it should be the Turks and the princess of Daliang."
Huofeng's expression was a little surprised, and he couldn't understand why Xiao Jiwen would fight directly with the Turkic army at this time.
"Revisit." Huo Feng raised his hand, and his tone was flat.
I don't understand it, but I don't care much, it's Xiao Jiwen, a sworn enemy, I wish I could die more. It would be better if Xiao Jiwen died directly in battle, where would there be other ideas, rescue? It's impossible.
Regarding Huofeng's approach, Xu Miaojin, who accompanied him, couldn't say anything, let Huofeng save Xiao Yuwen? It's not troublesome.
