703 The Unexpected Joy of a Peach-colored Hunk
"Report——"
"Your Majesty, the small gate of Yangguan is wide open and our army has arrived at Yangguan City!"
When he heard the news, Qi Hou didn't look very happy. Instead, his eyes were a little stunned. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations to Chen Tian!"
After saying this, the Marquis of Qi drew out his sword and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Prepare food and wine for the strong men!"
"Hi!"
The battle under Yangguan was actually not that intense, but the arrival of the flag bearers at Yangguan naturally gave the rear army hope.
It's just that the rear army didn't know the changes in the front army, so naturally it didn't dare to rush into victory.
Under the sun, Zihe, the doctor of Zouyi, was very calm. The advantage of not being afraid in the face of danger was that he could observe the changes on the battlefield more calmly.
When he discovered that the left and right sides of the Qi army were not responding to each other, he immediately boldly chose to cut off the rear, trying to make the soldiers return to Yangguan smoothly.
The archers kept shooting arrows, and their arms and shoulders were extremely sore. However, the general was just under the pass, so how could he dare to relax.
The archers taking turns were shooting arrows forward aimlessly, with wave after wave of eagle feather arrows. The purpose was no longer to kill the Qi army effectively, but to distract the Qi army.
"Gentleman! Let's go!"
"Don't be impatient!"
Zihe, the official of Zouyi, handed the long spear in his hand to the spearman, then drew the bow and set an arrow. The bows and arrows of Hanzi Kingdom were so unique. On the arrow rest, the eagle feather arrows shot through the air with a "swish" sound.
go.
laugh!
An arrow shot through the flag bearer of the Qi army, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly. Before the Qi army could react, Zihe was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Come out of the ambush——"
"Shout!"
Zihe raised his foot and kicked the deputy.
The deputy was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and yelled: "Come out of the ambush——"
"Get out of the ambush!"
"The ambush is out——"
Doctor Zou Yi held the big flag again and waved it quickly. The officials were stunned: "Doctor, this is..."
"Bang the drum! Beat the drum! Beat the drum!"
Beating the drums and attacking is the signal for the Lu army.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
When the drums sounded again, the Qi army was stunned. Vaguely, they heard the word "ambush" again. At this moment, the reserve team from the rear of the Qi army had already charged up. When they saw the flag falling, they were already ready.
Feeling surprised, he saw the "ambush" shouting again, and immediately became confused.
The original formation of the reserve team was similar to that of Wu's field troops. The front was about thirty feet wide, with shield-bearers and swordsmen in the first row, followed by spearmen in the rear.
A team of four or five Toruxing forms an assault wave. As long as they fight in close quarters, the Qi army's martial arts skills will play a great role on both sides of the assault wave.
Because this kind of wave of attacks often results in chaotic battles, personal skills in martial arts can be greatly brought into play.
It's just that the combat situation of Qi State in the past was quite bad. Every time there was a big battle, it encountered a state that was not conducive to the performance of martial arts.
At that time, the Wu State's large corps and multi-arms movement operations made the Qi army very uncomfortable.
But things like Lu are different. The two sides are very familiar with each other and can easily fall into their own rhythm.
This is why even after Guoda gave the order to charge without thinking, the two wings were still able to carry out a decent countercharge.
They even reached the foot of Yangguan Pass. If the Lu army's morale were a little low and they couldn't hold on any longer, they might really be penetrated by a brainless charge from the Qi army.
Unfortunately, today's luck seems to be on Zihe's side.
Doctor Zou Yi unexpectedly shot an arrow. He originally only thought that he could kill one by one. Who would have thought that the flag bearer of the Qi army would be shot through by an arrow. Even if he raises the flag again now, it is too late.
Because the shouts of killing had already started, the problem of the Qi army's unsmooth connection between the front and rear was instantly exposed.
As soon as the shouts of "Come out with all the ambush" started, the front troops of Qi State were all confused. At this moment, the number of Qi troops on both wings was not large. They totaled seven or eight hundred people. There were three or four Chexing troops on the left and right.
, there is no problem for the Lu army to resist.
But if the Qi army's follow-up troops rush forward, conditions will be created for a large-scale attack on the city.
The Qi army's material preparations in Yangguan are quite sufficient. At this moment, even if they only raise the ladder poles and close the defenders, they cannot guarantee a 100% victory, because the small gates on both sides of the city are open.
As long as a Qi army breaks in, panic will occur, and the defenders at the top of the city will wonder if someone will rush up to attack them.
Psychological subtleties, a little carelessness can lead to a big defeat.
So at this moment, Zihe, the official of Zouyi, was a bit adventurous.
However, he had already launched a charge, and when he did something more risky, the Lu army didn't find it strange at all.
"What a great Zou Yihe, the Qi army was defeated!"
At the top of the city, soldiers with strong Wudi accents were observing the battle. In front of Yangguan, it was already dark. The Qi troops were like three waves of tadpoles. The tadpoles on both sides were trying to seize the door.
He crawled into a cave, but suddenly he felt as if someone had dropped a stone on the surface of the water, and then fled in all directions.
On the front was a large group of tadpoles, which were about to rush forward in a dark mass. As a result, three waves of tadpoles collided with each other, shouts of death overlapped, and curses filled the air. In just an instant, the Qi army was in chaos.
The drums of the Lu army were beating loudly, and a large number of civilians in the pass were extremely nervous. At this moment, the defenders following the pass were yelling and shouting to kill. It was really fierce, as if a large army was coming.
"The former army has been defeated!"
"The former army has been defeated——"
"The former army has been defeated!"
Qi and Lu had the same accent. They were shouting noisily at the moment. They didn't know what the situation was. They were confused. After they collided with each other, a conflict immediately formed.
When the rear army saw that the front army was "defeated", they followed the trend and retreated.
Such a pull directly tore the formation width of twenty to thirty feet into pieces.
When Zihe, the official of Zouyi saw it, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Quick! Quick! Follow me to kill the enemy! Follow me to kill the enemy -"
The chariot started up again. In the small gates on both sides, the panting Lu troops were originally preparing to guard the pass. When they saw this change, they immediately came out to fight back.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of civilians came out to wave flags and shout.
In the past, the Lu State did not dare to let the people do this, but because the deputies of the Han envoys were here, these people were led by the deputies of the Han envoys. They were actually organized into groups, and each group leader led the team and followed them.
Flag charge.
The peasants, who could not hold the spears in their hands, were wearing straw sandals and linen clothes and shouting in a swarm. Such a scene made it even more obvious that the Lu army was well prepared.
On the Qi army's position, Gui Tian was even more delighted when he saw the situation. He originally thought that this time the Qi army would suffer dozens or hundreds of losses.
Now it seems that this is going to be ten times the amount.
There were hundreds of thousands of casualties, although not all of them were killed in martial arts, but these Qi soldiers were all regular troops, direct descendants of the powerful families in the five capitals, and were originally local regular troops.
The chaotic scene made the wealthy families of the five capitals who were already on top extremely angry. They had already seen the small gate of Yangguan. As long as they succeeded in seizing the gate, wouldn't this Yangguan be successfully breached?
The current scene and the huge losses caused many officials and even doctors to directly draw their swords and chop at their respective chariots with impotence and fury.
"Ruhe, I will kill you——"
After one person became furious, his eyes were filled with tears. This time the charge was really costly.
The changes on the battlefield at this time were immediately and quickly communicated to the Marquis of Qi. When the soldiers relayed the battle report, the Marquis of Qi still looked subtle and comforted: "This is not a crime of war. Who would have thought that the 'lovely handsome man' is a treacherous little man?"
Human beings too.”
The expressions of the officials of Qi State were also subtle. In the past, if the general was defeated, how could he be excused?
In all these years, when has the Marquis of Qi ever been so easy to talk to?
In addition, Guitian chopped off the heads of Bao's children before, and all kinds of subtle emotions were prevalent among the wealthy families of Wudu, but they couldn't let it happen. Even though they knew that the Marquis of Qi was probably planning to take the opportunity to beat the wealthy families of Wudu, they
There is no good way to deal with it.
