Chapter Thirty-Eight: Three-Stage Battle Array

Hidden arrows hurt!

With the sound of a whooshing sound, on the side street leading to the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of shield-wielding crossbowmen suddenly appeared, and launched a sneak attack without anyone noticing it in advance.

Although there were only a hundred crossbowmen on their backs, the volleys that began to fire from the streets were extremely powerful.

You must know that these foot slaves are all heavy crossbows, even if these people in front of them are wearing heavy armor, they may not be able to resist it!

So at this time, under this sudden sneak attack, accompanied by bursts of screams, dozens of people fell directly.

Although there was a gap in the second round of crossbow reloading, and it did not turn the tide in a short period of time, the deterrent effect was extremely amazing.

The seed Ji who was originally attacking the Prime Minister's Mansion with all his heart saw that another army and horse appeared on the side, and although he was puzzled at this time, he still did not hesitate.

At his command, five hundred armor soldiers were immediately separated from the battle group, and it looked like they were going to kill the flank crossbowmen.

It's just that when these 500 armor soldiers were carrying crossbow arrows and lost more than 100 people approaching these crossbowmen with back shields, all of a sudden, shouts of killing rang out.

At the corner of this street, a dense army poured out, and at a cursory glance there were thousands of people!

These 500 armor soldiers who deviated from the main force and came to kill the crossbowmen with back shields were caught off guard and encountered such a head-on attack, and they did not have any strength to resist the wisdom.

With the sound of wailing, except for a few lucky ones who escaped back, the others were almost wiped out!

Just a lure killed nearly 400 people.

"Suppress the rebels, aid the Prime Minister's Mansion, the armor soldiers who died in battle today, the whole family is supported by my Cao family!"

Under the order of this prince Cao Ang, the former soldier who was pulled by him from the palace was desperate and rushed directly towards the flank of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All of a sudden, the whole situation changed abruptly.

You must know that the entrance of Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion is narrow and wide, and the army of the seed and prince suits saw that the fire was finally extinguished, in order to prevent Cao Cao from playing any more tricks, so the army almost swarmed in.

However, the timing of Cao Ang's killing from the flank was just when half of the army rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the original plan was to directly enter the Prime Minister's Mansion with the flank, and the flank was handed over to five hundred armor soldiers to kill and delay.

But under Cao Ang's strategy to lure the enemy, the five hundred armor soldiers were vulnerable, and the flaws were directly exposed.

In this way, unless the prince's suit and seed series order the soldiers and horses of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be transferred out, they will be attacked from the front and back.

But if this is the case, under this reduced pressure, can the Tiger Guard army of the Prime Minister still be culled?

For a while, this kind of album and the prince's suit fell into hesitation.

Is it to resolve the crisis on the flanks first, or face the danger of being flanked in front and back, and solve Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion first?

Although Chongji is a general with troops, he is just an ordinary person after all, and naturally he has no determination to break the boat.

"The soldiers of our department obeyed the order and quickly came out to meet the enemy!"

In the end, under his order, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses had to withdraw from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the flank army, which was densely packed in the dark night, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing were endless.

Although the guards of the palace are also Cao Cao's henchmen, they are not elite soldiers after all, and the people who are commanded by Chongji and Wang Zifu are the same Xiliang army as Li Dao and Guo Yan before.

So after a battle, when the number of people was already inferior to the other party, it was still Cao Ang's side that had a disadvantage.

Looking at such a scene in front of him, Cao Ang also made a decision immediately and made a dispatch directly.

"Former soldiers are stationed in formation!"

In a word, the legions of spearmen defending the city lined up in this street, which was not very spacious, and formed a forest of guns.

As soon as this gun forest was formed, the crossbowmen with back shields began a new round of salvo fire under the cover of this spear corps.

Cao Ang's thoughts are not difficult to figure out, he intends to line up and delay consumption.

After all, after this kind of army came out, the pressure on the Prime Minister naturally decreased sharply, and it was absolutely impossible to kill it in a short time.

As long as he, Cao Ang, can delay the army outside, as long as the forbidden Qingzhou army enters the city, everything will be stable at that time!

Such a scene was seen by that kind of editor, and naturally knew Cao Ang's thoughts, how could he let Cao Ang get his wish at this time.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order and killed the past, they are not many in number, we must wipe out all these people!"

In this passionate shouting and killing, two thousand Xiliang troops rushed straight to the gun.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the fierce light in Cao Ang's eyes also began to flicker, and under his dispatch, the crossbowmen with back shields at this time had been divided into three rows.

The crossbowmen in the first row made a half-kneeling posture, and when the Xiliang army rushed over, they shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands one after another.

With a miserable scream, and with almost no hesitation, the shield-backed crossbowmen standing in the second row began to fire a volley.

After the second row of backshield crossbowmen finished firing a volley, I saw them retreat one after another, and the backshield crossbowmen in the third row stepped out and began to fire again.

After the third row of backshield crossbowmen finished shooting arrows, the previous first row of backshield crossbowmen also completed the loading of crossbows at this time.

The whole process was done in one go, without any pauses.

This is not the crossbowman's own skills, but under the guidance of Cao Ang, it has only been run-in for a long time, and the battle formation has not yet been carried out.

Mu Ying's three-stage strike!

This battle formation, which shined after a thousand years, was used by Cao Ang in advance at this time, which shocked almost everyone.

Under this almost continuous heavy crossbow fire, although it is impossible to inflict an instant blow on a wide range of enemies, but in this narrow street, it is impossible to open a single man.

Any soldier who rushed forward, whether he was wearing light armor or heavy armor, whether he wore a battle helmet or not, was treated equally in front of the heavy arrows with shields and crossbows.

It's not that Tanji didn't think about forcibly breaking through, getting close to these crossbowmen, but in front of these crossbowmen, each of them has a large shield, and there is a team of guns in front of them.

If you rush down and rush over, not only will you lose a lot before you fight, but once you are stopped by the gun, I am afraid that you will not be able to help these crossbowmen in a short time.

What's more important is that after this row of soldiers fell one by one, would these Xiliang soldiers around him still obey his decision as if they were sent to death?

Despite the helplessness in his heart, Ke Chongji finally had to make a choice.

"All the soldiers listened to the order, quickly withdrew and transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

First 500 soldiers were ambushed, then more than 2,000 soldiers forcibly charged towards the third stage and lost hundreds, and finally after the withdrawal of the troops in this order, they were pursued and shot hundreds more.

In this street battle, the Xiliang rebels were repeatedly defeated!
