Chapter 3411 Fear Transfer
Chapter 3410 Fear transfer
Arrows roared down like a dark cloud, but they could not stop the yaks running down from above.
Yak is also a cow. Even though it is as slow as an ordinary cow on weekdays, when its ferocity is aroused, it will also have red eyes and rush directly into it regardless of what is happening!
Cao Jun originally wanted to suppress the Hussars rushing down the intersection, so as to create a partial effect of using more and less to defeat them. However, these crazy yaks collided and could not be suppressed at all!
When the first yak carrying fireworks rushed into Cao Jun's battle line, no matter what defensive fence, wooden horses could not stop it!
Some yaks were trapped in the trap, but more yaks rushed up and directly trampled to death and injured many of Cao's soldiers on the front line!
The miserable screams penetrated the thick sound of war drums and the thunderous sounds of killing, and the smell of blood once again filled the vicinity of Tongguan and up and down the river.
The first front line laid out by Cao Jun suddenly collapsed in large part.
In the collapsed place, life disappeared, and even the sound disappeared in such an instant.
When the first wave of yaks collided, those pitiful howls suddenly rose into the sky amidst the rich smell of blood.
"above! Look above! 』
Suddenly some soldiers of Cao's army shouted and pointed to the sky.
Some people raised their heads, and their faces suddenly turned pale with fright, and their souls were out of their minds.
In the sky, I don’t know when, many more stone bullets appeared!
Due to the pitch angle of the artillery on the fort, it was impossible to attack the relatively close Cao army arrays in the lower city of Tongguan, but the catapults in parabolic attack mode could.
"Boom...boom..."
Thirty to forty stone bullets fell from the sky, rolling and spinning in the air, as if they were performing a happy dance.
A stone hit the head of a Cao Jun soldier. In an instant, the Cao Jun soldier turned into a headless torso. Blood, brains, and broken bones flew up together with the headless corpse, and then he was knocked down ruthlessly. Two or three soldiers of Cao's army followed.
Even stone bullets that fall on the open ground still have a certain amount of splash damage.
The fragments of the broken stone bullets flew in all directions, and a soldier of Cao's army had his sternum broken by the broken stones before he could even scream. Before he died, he still hugged the stone embedded in his chest tightly, staring, as if he was still wondering why a stone suddenly grew on his chest.
More soldiers of Cao's army had their hands and feet broken and their internal organs injured...
For a moment, corpses spurting blood, heads splattered with brain matter, and bloody severed limbs and arms were flying all over the sky, which was extremely horrifying.
The yak herd broke through the deer stronghold set up by Cao Jun, destroyed the horses, and led to the trap dug by Cao Jun.
The catapults disrupted Cao Jun's line, expanded the chaos, and disrupted Cao Jun's array layout...
Zhang Liao, who was in Tongguan City, clapped his hands and cheered loudly, and immediately ordered Ma Yue to lead the cavalry to follow the second wave of yaks to expand the attack, and then asked Zhu Ling to lead another group of people with simple ladders , crossing the ravine between Linzhi Plateau and Niutou Plateau, and opened up the second front.
Ma Yue banged twice on the front chest plate of his armor, then raised his head and shouted wildly, "Brothers, follow me!" 』
The hussars soldiers, who had been aggrieved for a long time, had long been full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Now seeing Cao Jun's line crumbling, everyone's eyes were on fire, their morale was high, and they formed a neat queue, waiting for the order to pounce on them. Cao Jun in the lower city!
The second wave of yaks were released and ran forward along the flesh and blood passage!
More and more yaks rushed into Cao Jun's horse-repelling formation. These big guys with thick skin and thick flesh would not stop until they were exhausted, further tearing Cao Jun's formation into pieces.
The catapults deployed in the upper city further threw towards the back line of Cao's army, creating conditions for the next hussar attack and clearing the way.
The bloody fight has just begun.
…
…
On the high platform of Cao's army, Liu Fu raised his head and looked at the figures in Tongguan City and frowned.
Cao Zhang said with some worry: "Are the Hussars going to dispatch their entire army today?" Do you want to type it out in one breath? 』
Liu Fu shook his head and said, "As long as they send out cavalry, the fortifications arranged in the camp are enough to resist... I am just worried..."
"We should be able to hold on," Cao Zhang said, "We have deployed three thousand soldiers there... Even if there are three thousand pigs, it will take some effort to kill them..."
Guanqiu Jian was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words again. Now he is the person least qualified to question and comment.
Liu Fu glanced at Cao Zhang without comment.
As the three of them were talking, they suddenly saw men and horses rushing out of Tongguan City, trampling on flesh and blood, and rushed into Cao Jun's lower city line, killing them.
"Order the car camp to retreat a hundred steps!" Liu Fu frowned and observed for a while, then ordered, "If the front line is in chaos, it will affect the layout of our military vehicle camp!" 』
"military adviser! Retreating the car camp takes time! ” Guanqiu Jian said.
Guanqiu Jian looked a little nervous, sweating a little on his temples, "Now the hussars are attacking fiercely, which will greatly shorten the time we can hold on to the anti-horse formation." Military advisor, do you think we should use the general's Huben camp? 』
"What? Liu Fu glanced at Guanqiu Jian with dissatisfaction, "The hussar is no good at the moment, how can he use the elite generals?" ! 』
Huben Camp and Feibiao Camp are basically the camp codes of Cao Jun's central commander and central guard.
Cao Zhang has always liked bravery, so his direct battalion used the word "Hu Ben".
Guanqiu Jian suffered a loss last time, and his ambitions were reduced a bit. Now he is striving for stability, and he feels that he has overcorrected. When Liu Fu said this, he shrank back with a pale face. step.
Liu Fu originally wanted to scold Guan Qiu Jian, but seeing Guan Qiu Jian's behavior, he swallowed his words back.
Guanqiu Jian had some friendship with Liu Fu, and they were both descendants of the noble clan, so it was hard to criticize him too much.
"You go to the flank and protect our luggage!" 』
Liu Fu waved his hand and said to Guanqiu Jian.
Guanqiu Jian responded and quickly went under the high platform.
When I was about to reach the bottom of the high platform, I didn't know whether I accidentally stepped on the air or something happened, and I almost fell off the steps of the high platform. Fortunately, I held on to the railing, so I didn't fall to pieces. However, the helmet fell off and rolled on the ground a few times like a severed head.
A soldier of Cao's army quickly stepped forward to help Guanqiu Jian pick up the helmet and handed it back.
Guan Qiujian took the helmet with some embarrassment and put it on his head casually. He didn't care whether it was crooked or not, and walked back without even daring to look back.
Liu Fu looked at Guan Qiu Jian walking away in a hurry, shook his head slightly, and then focused all his attention on the front, ignoring Guan Qiu Jian.
Guanqiu Jian walked in a hurry. He didn't know why he was like this.
At that time, he felt that he should be a warrior, who would inherit the glory of the Guanqiu family, become a general who commanded decisively on the battlefield, fought bravely against the enemy, and made immortal achievements...
He has always been working hard in this direction.
But now, he is scared.
Although it was not his first time on the battlefield, he was more scared than the first time he went on the battlefield.
Before watching others die, Guan Qiujian felt that his heart was calm and he had the courage to face death. However, after he really felt the threat of death, Guan Qiujian realized that life is so fragile...
He regretted a little. He had known that in the battlefield, not only small soldiers would die, but commanders like them were also walking on the edge of the cliff. If they were to be shattered into pieces if they were not careful, he would not have died like this if he was killed. Come up on the battlefield.
Even so, he would not come if he would be laughed at by others.
Being laughed at is better than dying.
After hurriedly walking some distance, Guanqiu Jian felt that the heat on his face seemed to have subsided a little.
Only then did he remember Liu Fu's instructions and turned around to head to the side camp.
Suddenly, Guan Qiujian felt that he and the battlefield seemed to be somewhat inconsistent.
All around were hurried and heavily armed soldiers.
Running back and forth, looking anxious.
The hoarse shouts of the messengers came one after another.
Civilians carried burdens, pushed carts, and transported arrows and other perishable items...
Guan Qiujian looked up and looked around in confusion. What he saw were colorful flags, some standing high and fluttering in the wind, some moving back and forth, some shaking violently up and down, and some spinning crazily like tops.
The sky is clear.
The sun is warm in autumn, there is a huge blue sky, and there are a few thick white clouds, and then there are the whistling long arrows. There are countless long arrows all over the sky, and you can occasionally see a few. A roaring stone.
The sound of war drums, fighting sounds, and shouts that filled the world made him feel buzzing in his ears. The strong smell of blood also made him truly feel that he was on the battlefield, but where should he be on the battlefield?
What should I do?
In the past, when he was reading, especially military books, Guanqiu Jian always felt that he could see the battlefield clearly. He felt that fighting on the battlefield was as simple as counting on his fingers. To command the battle was to issue orders, and then the soldiers The soldiers were like ants and insects fighting on the paths in the courtyard for a piece of soup cake.
This is……
How naive and ignorant!
"Get out of the way...get out of the way!" 』
The sound of shouting came from behind Guanqiu Jian.
Guanqiu Jian subconsciously hid to the side.
I saw a group of civilians carrying the wounded back to the camp.
Guanqiu Jian was suddenly a little angry, because these low-status commoners, who were illiterate, dared to shout at him, a scholar? !
But the next moment, Guanqiu Jian felt helpless and ashamed.
Even the common people knew what they were going to do, but Guanqiu Jian didn't know, he was confused, and he was timid...
…
…
"kill! kill! kill! 』
Ma Yue and his men rushed out of Tongguan City and attacked the Cao army's line in the lower city.
"Kill!" All the good guys rushed up with me! I don’t believe these thieves can’t retreat without being killed! Ma Yue shouted loudly, "Everyone is watching from above!" Whoever dares to take a step back will lose all the shame to his ancestors! Kill all the thieves! Guangzong Yaozu! 』
"Kill all the thieves!" Guangzong Yaozu! 』
The other hussars followed suit.
"Hahaha! Ma Yue waved his sword, "That's it!" Real man, you should get your fame immediately! How can we kneel down and ask for help? Kill, kill, kill! The hussar is victorious! 』
"The hussars are victorious!" 』
They are not afraid, have no doubts, and will not shrink from death!
No one is not afraid of death, but people are more afraid that life would be worse than death, and they are even more afraid that they have paid the price with their lives while their families are still poor and destitute, and they may even be unlucky because they have lost their mainstay and be devoured...
Because I have worries, I am afraid of death.
People who have nothing and people who have no worries are equally brave.
The Hussars' logistical support, welfare and pensions are all top-notch.
In fact, it is really simple, that is, the slogans shouted are truly fulfilled, and the military pay and benefits can really be distributed to every soldier's home, instead of being hoarded by some small officials in villages and towns in their own warehouses, who would rather rot and throw them away secretly It won’t be given out if you drop it…
That's enough.
In addition, among the hussars, there are many generals like Ma Yue who are willing to charge with their soldiers instead of charging for me, so why should we be hesitant and timid?
Ma Yue rushed forward, leading his soldiers like a wave, rushing forward in waves, attacking!
"kill! Kill it! 』
Ma Yue and his soldiers rushed and slashed along the road where the yak rushed out, killing Cao Jun in the front row until they ran away with their heads in their hands.
As the losses in Cao's front line increased, the military academy in charge of the Cao army's line in the lower city of Tongguan jumped anxiously.
"No more!" I can't hold it any longer! Where are the reinforcements? ! "The military academy in the front line of Cao's army shouted anxiously, "Why aren't reinforcements coming from behind? ! 』
By now, even a fool knows that Tongguan Lower City cannot hold on any longer.
Cao Jun either retreated back to the Tongguan camp, or fought a bloody battle with the Hussars on the Tongguan slope, but no matter which choice he made, it was not a good choice.
And if the Hussars cannot be held back this time, the Hussars will have more space and more forward positions ready to attack next time!
In particular, it is difficult for Cao's army to deploy on Tongguan Ban Road!
After finally reaching Tongguan Pass, is this just giving up?
"Reinforcements!" Where are the reinforcements? ! 』
Cao Jun's military academy shouted.
"The reinforcements are not coming..." A soldier beside Cao Jun's military academy suddenly said, pointing to the Tongguan Slope in the rear and shouting, "They have formed a formation on the Saka!" 』
"What? ! ” Military Academy Cao Jun turned his head sharply, his neck groaning as he was overwhelmed.
The Tongguan Slope Road is bounded by a plateau on one side and a river on the other. Now that Cao Jun has not come for reinforcements, they have formed a vehicle formation on the Tongguan Slope Road. It is almost clear that they want to abandon Tongguan Lower City and use these Cao Jun soldiers in Tongguan Lower City as victims. In exchange for time to build a car array on Tongguan Slope Road...
Cao Jun's military academy looked up at the flag on the high platform of the central army behind him.
"Hold on, or hold on..." Military Colonel Cao said through gritted teeth, "You're fucking being killed right in front of your nose, why the hell are you still holding on?" ! 』
"If we keep guarding any longer, all our brothers will be dead!" 』
Cao Jun's military academy suddenly stood up and slashed a horse in front of him with his sword, "Forget it!" He is unkind to me! Withdraw, we withdraw! 』
…
…
On the Tongguan Slope Road, giant shields and giant spears were being assembled and built nervously on the baggage trains.
Cao Xiu could think of using baggage carts to stop the hussars' cavalry, and others could also think of it. The methods conceived by each person are slightly different, but in general they still cannot escape the limitations of the era of cold weapons such as "knives, guns, and shields."
Until Maxim appeared...
After the preliminary battle, Cao Zhang and Liu Fu have determined that the intention of the Hussars is very clear. This is not only the intention of retaking the lower city of Tongguan, but also the intention of the Hussars to attack Cao Jun's Tongguan camp and defeat Cao Jun's middle army!
In order to strengthen the defense in the middle, Cao Zhang ordered the left and right wings to shrink and move closer to the central army.
Moreover, because the Hussars used a large yak charge, the original anti-horse array set up by Cao Jun was inevitably a little weak.
These yaks had rough hides and thick flesh, and even if the horses were nailed to the ground, they would be knocked over and broken by them. Therefore, Liu Fu had to use the method that was supposed to attack the hussar army in advance.
After several large battles with the Hussars, almost all Shandong generals and counselors were thinking about how to deal with the Hussars' cavalry. Some people really figured out something, but some people just pretended to figure it out.
The use of giant shields and spears combined with chariot formations is one of the ideas. In order to give full play to the role of giant shields and spears, block and kill a large number of hussar cavalry, and reduce his own casualties, Liu Fu also deliberately used this giant shield and spear The shields and spears are stacked layer by layer and staggered, like a maze, and then the entire vehicle formation with giant shields and spears can become the tomb of the hussars.
In Liu Fu's imagination, even if the hussars rushed into the chariot formation, they would not be able to run because of the large shields and spears of the chariot formation. Once they really started to run, it would mean that they would throw the spears at them. If you hit him, you'll be half disabled even if you don't die!
In the narrow and twisting formation of giant shields and spears, sharp weapons and powerful martial arts will lose their effect.
Whoever has more people can defeat the other.
In this aspect, Shandong undoubtedly has an advantage.
The method of counterattacking the Hussars was exposed in advance. Of course, there will be some losses, but as long as the Tongguan Army's counterattack is blocked and the Hussars suffer a certain amount of damage, it can be regarded as effective and effective. It does not mean that Liu Fu is too much. Uncomfortable.
But Liu Fu didn't think about it, or he actually thought about it, but he subconsciously ignored the morale problem of Cao's soldiers...
Perhaps in Liu Fu's heart, just like Guanqiu Jian, he regarded these Cao army soldiers as grass.
Since they are grass, why should he care and keep them in mind?
The drums of war roared, and the cavalry army was writing on the heads of the Cao army soldiers to express their depression and anger during this period of time, and the collapse of the Cao army's soldiers' front line exceeded Liu Fu's expectations!
The generals and soldiers of the cavalry army were fearless, shouting all the way, fighting hard, and even if they were injured, they were not willing to retreat easily!
When the soldiers of one side were not afraid of death, fear became the exclusive property of the other side.
So, before Liu Fu's car camp was fully deployed, the array of Cao army soldiers in the lower city of Tongguan on the front line suddenly collapsed, and the army fled to the Tongguan Slope Road in disarray!
