Chapter 39 Unfavorable first battle
"On the battlefield, people are overwhelming and crowded, and you will not be given any opportunity to show off your moves. All you need to do is to hold the spear in your hand and repeat the simplest action: stab, retract, stab, retract..."
This sentence was the original words that Bo Zheng Lu Min once said when he practiced the soldiers under his command. Li Tong was a little distracted at that time because he was good at using guns and had achieved his own shooting skills in elementary school. Even Taishi Ci and Zang Ba were not his opponents. Therefore, Li Tong felt that he was able to shine on the battlefield with his good gun skills.
However, when he went to the battlefield today, he was stunned.
I saw rebel soldiers from the demon master Xu Zhao everywhere. After stabbing an enemy to death, even more enemy troops rushed up and killed them. As for the gun-swinging flowers, it was simply a matter of seeking death here. Li Tong had fully experienced this.
"Swish--"
Two enemy troops who were planning to attack Li Tong were stabbed to the ground. Taishici and Zang Ba quickly rushed to Li Tong, and the three of them defended the enemy back to back.
"Why are you here?" Li Tong asked in surprise with a spear in his hand.
"You're rushing too far."
"The boss asked us two to support you."
Taishici and Zang Ba answered while using the spear in their hands to resist the spear from the front as much as possible.
"Boss?" Li Tong was stunned. In this distracting gap, there was a mark on his arm. Although he instantly stabbed the enemy soldier who had injured him with a long spear after reacting, he still grimaced by the pain on his arm.
"Where is the boss?" Zang Ba asked with a grief.
"What?" Because the battlefield was too noisy, Taishi Ci didn't hear it clearly. Helplessly, Li Tong could only repeat it loudly: "I said, where is the boss?"
When Taishi Ci heard this, he glanced at the chaotic battlefield. His sword brows frowned and shouted loudly, "I don't know, I should have gone to find Ah, you and Ah Da are rushing too far forward."
"The boss told us to follow the large group of troops for the time being, and not to go too deep into the enemy army." Zang Ba shouted at the side.
Li Tong turned his head and looked at the chaotic battlefield. It is undeniable that he rushed too far at first, which was not used to the fanatical atmosphere on the battlefield. It may have been a few words from their general Yang Qi, who was so excited that he wanted to kill all the enemy troops. But the facts proved that his skills may not have much problem dealing with more than a dozen or twenty enemy soldiers, but if the number exceeds this number, it would be more embarrassing.
Looking at the entire Linjiang Plain, there are more than tens of thousands of enemy soldiers. If Li Tong doesn't want to die here in battle like this, then he can only listen to the suggestions of Taishi Ci and Zang Ba, and follow the team of people to charge honestly, and don't show off his personal courage.
On the other hand, Zhang Huang also found Chen Dao who was as stupid as Li Tong. When he arrived, Shan Fu and four other soldiers of Yi Shi arrived, Chen Dao was surrounded by dozens of rebels, with several places on his body, and his situation was very bad.
"Ah, come back to the team!" He shouted, and Zhang Huang waved his sword repeatedly, helping Chen Dao to break out of the hands of countless enemy soldiers, which made the other four soldiers of his Yishi stunned, and secretly glad that they did not take action that day.
"Boss..." Chen Dao has been following Zhang Huang for the longest time, and naturally listened to him the most. What's more, seeing Zhang Huang still thinking about him in such a chaotic situation, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Without saying a word, he returned to the team and fought side by side with Zhang Huang.
"If there is another time, military regulations will be dealt with!" Although Chen Dao's body was covered in scars, Zhang Huang still shouted with a calm face.
I have to say that Zhang Huang was very angry at this moment. If Li Tong and Chen Dao were showing off their strength, it would be fine, but now they are in a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, and they are densely packed with enemy troops, open and hidden arrows, and they are hard to defend against. Zhang Huang doesn't want any of his Black Feather Crow brothers to die inexplicably on the battlefield of their first return because of their competitive strength.
Chen Dao knew that the military rules mentioned by Zhang Huang were not the military rules of the Guangling Army, but the military rules of their Black Feather Crow, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I think that at this moment, I might have deeply realized the terrible part of the battlefield. Although Shan Fu was fanning the flames and igniting the flames, he kept saying that he must punish him well this time, but Chen Dao didn't even say anything.
"Okay." Zhang Huang glanced at Chen Dao's injuries and asked, "Ah, how are the injuries? Can you still eat them?"
"It's not a problem, just a skin injury." Chen Dao stabbed a spear in his hand, killed an enemy soldier, grinned, saying that he was not seriously injured.
Seeing this, Zhang Huang clicked the enemy a little and shouted in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, we will quickly meet with Bochang Lu. Dafu, you are in the center and always pay attention to the changes in the battle situation. Ah, you and me are in front of you to kill the enemy. The two kings, Xiaoliu, Shengzi, you will cut off the rear."
The names of people he mentioned refer to four other soldiers of his silence: a pair of brothers surnamed Wang, and two other young soldiers in their twenties.
"Understand." The Wang brothers and others nodded and responded. Since they were beaten up by Chen Da and others that day, they have been particularly convinced by Zhang Huang, not to mention that today they have seen the true strength of their Yishishi.
[That's really... Killing an enemy is like cutting melons and vegetables!]
The Wang brothers secretly glanced at their own strength in awe. You must know that just now, Zhang Huang relied on the sharp sword in his hand to break out of the enemy's tide like a sea of people. There were not hundreds or dozens of enemy soldiers who died in his hands.
"Let's go!" After choosing a direction, Zhang Huang quickly led his squad toward the friendly army. It's not that he was timid, but in this battlefield where tens of thousands of people, it was difficult for his personal strength to do anything, unless he was so strong that he was like General Yang Qi, the general of their army. But the problem is that not only were their Guangling defenders in charge, but the rebels were not without them. On the way to rescue Chen Da, Zhang Huang encountered a powerful rebel general. It was just that the other party disdained to massacre ordinary soldiers dressed in small soldiers like Zhang Huang, and he specialized in finding the boss of the army to lead the troops. Du Bo took action, which made Zhang Huang and his group escape by chance.
It was pitiful. Although the situation on the battlefield was extremely chaotic, Zhang Huang and his group finally met with Bo Chang Lu Min's team without any danger. On the way, they also brought back Li Tong, Taishi Ci, and Zang Ba and returned to the team of the twenty-six tents together.
Seeing Zhang Huang and others coming back, Lu Min, who was leading his soldiers to fight bravely to fight the enemy, just nodded and didn't say anything.
Thinking about it, it was true. After all, Yi Shi gathered the six most brave and good soldiers in his twenty-six tents. If they were unfortunately killed on the battlefield, Lu Min would probably regret it. As for the expression of displeasure on his face, it was probably targeting Chen Dao and Li Tong. After all, they were the two of them who did not obey the order and rashly entered the enemy's army.
"You two each remember the military discipline!" Lu Min shouted at Li Tong and Chen Dao with a dark face. It's not that he hated Li Tong and Chen Dao because of this incident. After all, when Yi Ni was not present, his losses in his twenty-six accounts were heavy. Since the battle began, he has lost a total of twenty-three people. The reason why he punished Li Tong and Chen Dao was just to make them remember this matter. After all, Li Tong and Chen Dao were powerful soldiers named in Lu Min's heart.
"At the beginning, the rest of the people help!"
The strongest combat power of the Twenty-Six Tents is nothing more than Zhang Huang's Yi Shi. Since Yi Shi has returned to the team, the most difficult vanguard position naturally fell on the heads of Zhang Huang and others. Aside from Shan Fu, the other five Black Feather Crows rushed to the front of the team under the personal leadership of Bo Chang Lu Min.
Not to mention, after this arrangement, the damage to the Twenty-Six Accounts was immediately reduced to the extreme, and the efficiency of killing enemies was greatly increased, so that the team's advance speed was increased by two levels compared to before.
[How could it be?]
Lu Min was very puzzled, thinking that the ninety soldiers of only nine digits were not as lethal as the five people in one digit?
He looked back and saw that the soldier of Yishi, Shan Fu was in the middle of command, commanding the soldiers of the other nine were either advancing or retreating or working together, advancing and retreating in moderation, without any confusion.
[That kid still has this ability?]
Lu Min couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He didn't know that Shan Fu was originally a student of the Xun Academy in Yingchuan - one of the several famous academies in the Han Dynasty. He studied the method of using troops and dispatching soldiers. For him, it was just as simple as drinking water and eating.
However, this is good news for Lu Min. After all, he has no time to take into account the two important responsibilities of killing the enemy and commanding the soldiers. Now that Dan Fu is sharing the burden for him, the burden on his shoulders is immediately lighter.
But then, this joy was gradually replaced by surprise. Because Lu Min gradually discovered that the vanguard of the team did not seem to need him to command. Zhang Huang, the leader of his team, seemed to know the tactics of joining together to kill the enemy and avoiding the real and the false. He commanded the four Taishi Ci, Zang Ba, Li Tong, and Chen Dao to attack with the direction of not much resistance. During this period, he also resolved the crisis for friendly forces in other military tents from time to time, making his twenty-six tent gradually become a combat hub in this area. At least two soldiers from the twenty-six tents followed firmly on both sides of the twenty-six tents, advancing and retreating together.
[This kid…]
In fact, what Lu Min feared most was that Zhang Huang was young and energetic, and led them to places with more enemies. Although he had more than 70 people in his 26 tents at this moment, he could not resist the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield. One person and one spit was enough to drown them. But now, seeing Zhang Huang avoiding the real and taking advantage of the enemy, Lu Min was very surprised.
Although he had long seen that Zhang Huang had a considerable commanding power, otherwise those powerful soldiers would not have listened to him, Lu Min really never thought that he could achieve this level, even on a chaotic battlefield, he could calmly analyze the strength of the enemy and us, and take advantage of relatively weak small groups of enemies.
Logically speaking, it is said that if a subordinate shares his responsibilities, Lu Min, the uncle chief, should be glad, after all, he cannot be fully equipped on the battlefield. But then again, Shan Fu shared the responsibilities of command for him, and Zhang Huang shared the responsibilities of the command team's offensive direction for him. So where is Lu Min, the uncle chief,?
He swung his spear and killed several enemy soldiers. Seeing the soldiers from his twenty-six tents shouting to kill him, and under the command of Zhang Huang and Shan Fu, Lu Min Bochang suddenly felt that his position was a little awkward.
[Why did you suddenly think that those two little ghosts are my 26th tents...]
Murging in his mouth, Bo Lu Min followed the team with a strange expression. Perhaps this scene aroused his memories, remembering when he was just an ordinary soldier.
At the same time, the old governor Zang Min, as the supreme commander of the Guangling Army, was riding a horse and watching the confrontation in the rear.
Although the battle situation where Zhang Huang and others were located was very stalemate and difficult, from the old governor who focused on the entire battle situation, this could only be regarded as a tentative confrontation.
Of course, although it was a tentative confrontation, the old governor still saw the strength of the rebels. Because of the entire battle situation, the three thousand troops of the Yang Qiqu team of the Guangling defender Yang Qiqu were always in a suppressed situation. Only the local battle situation where Zhang Huang and others were located made the old governor's eyes lit up.
[I didn't expect that the first army still has several small forces to counterattack...]
The old governor calmly stroked his beard and looked at the battlefield in an unfathomable manner. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, "It's almost done, I'll call the first army to retreat, and the second army and the third army cut off the rear."
"Retreat?" A general next to Zang Min said unwillingly, "Sir, is it too early to order the withdrawal of troops at this moment? Look, over there..." He raised his hand and pointed at the battle situation of the twenty-six tents where Zhang Huang was.
Zang Min frowned and said, "This battle is just a test of the strength of the anti-army for us, not a victory or defeat with the enemy here. Although our army is still in good condition at present, it is just a serious anti-army. The rebels came from the water and caught us off guard. I guess they had never rested for a while. If I had expected it, those people would not have the intention to fight our army today. They just wanted to repel our army and land on the riverside and renovate it. Therefore, as long as our army retreats, the anti-army will at most tentatively pursue it and will not pursue it. That's it."
The general was still a little unwilling to accept it and frowned and said, "Did our soldiers marched for two days just to test the strength of the bandit army?"
The old governor smiled and stroked his beard and said, "And I want to use this battle to tell them that our Guangling County has been prepared for it. In this way, they will most likely give up their previous plan to quickly decide the battle and fight with our army step by step... In this way, we will have some chance of winning."
"Does the boss want to drag this anti-army to death?" The general was stunned and then suddenly realized.
"Order the withdrawal of troops." Zang Min said with a smile, then turned his head and looked at the southwest, and sighed quietly.
[It is not easy to defend Guangling in the hands of tens of thousands of anti-army. It depends on when the Danyang soldiers will arrive... If the Danyang soldiers are not allowed, everything will be nothing more than a piece of paper, alas!]
