Chapter 118 Too Young

After promoting a captain to Qu Junhou, replenishing the ordnance, and drinking three more cups, the more than one hundred Xiliang troops who had just retreated from the battle were forced to charge again.

Li Li announced that if they could break through the formation, everyone would be rewarded heavily, with enough wine and meat, and everyone could choose a woman from the Kanto region among the captives to spend the night.

If you can't break the formation, you will fight to the last person, and if you dare to retreat, you will be killed without mercy.

Two hundred personal guards in solid armor and holding sharp knives lined up in front of the formation, all of them murderous.

Inspired by the wine and fear, the Xiliang Army broke out with amazing fighting power. They carried wooden rafts and braved the rain of arrows, howling forward.

Some people were shot by arrows, some fell into the pit, some were stabbed by Baibo army's spears, and their fingers were cut off by war knives, but they still roared forward desperately, like wild beasts.

The Baibo soldiers in the first position were under tremendous pressure.

The fear of the Xiliang Army came to mind again, some people began to waver, and the position showed signs of collapse.

Yang Feng, who was commanding in front of the formation, saw this, sent someone to warn Liu Xie, and killed him with his personal guards.

When he faced the crazy-looking Xiliang Army soldiers, he was also taken aback.

Li Jue was furious, and the real bloody battle began.

Yang Feng rushed forward, slashing with a knife while shouting repeatedly to boost morale.

"People come to kill, wolves come to slaughter wolves. Whom have my Baibo army been afraid of? Hack them to death!"

Yang Feng chopped down two Xiliang soldiers with his sword, and at the cost of being stabbed twice in the back, he overturned the raft with all his strength.The Xiliang soldiers on the wooden raft couldn't stand firmly and fell into the pit.

There were already many soldiers of the Xiliang Army in the pit, some of them were dead, and some were still alive, but they couldn't get up.Some stepped on the body of their companions and rushed forward, their eyes were bloodshot and their voices were hoarse, like beasts.

Yang Feng didn't care to check his injuries, smashed his shield with his knife and hacked, killing several people in one go, he was unstoppable.

Several personal guards guarded the two wings tightly, and with swords and spears, they killed the Xiliang soldiers who were trying to rush through the trench.

With Yang Feng's reinforcement and encouragement, the soldiers held the front line and killed all the more than [-] Xiliang soldiers who rushed into the battle.

But the trench has been filled with corpses, and it is difficult to block the second attack of the Xiliang army.

The crossbowmen, who provided cover for long-range strikes, also sounded the alarm.

The Xiliang army's offensive was too fierce just now, and the consumption of arrows was too great. If there was no replenishment, they could only stick to it for two more shots at most.

Yang Feng was so anxious that he waved his saber and ordered the soldiers to abandon the first position.

As soon as the words fell, a Qu Junhou objected. "The Son of Heaven has an edict. Even if you are hit, don't give up the first position easily. Stand on both sides of the gap and continue to block..."

Yang Feng was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him hard. "Whose subordinate are you?"

Qu Junhou was stunned by the beating, and he stammered, "General... General, you... also agreed at that time."

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little regretful.

This was indeed a tactic he agreed to, he was flustered for a moment and forgot about it.

"Follow the agreed tactics." Yang Feng waved his hand and issued another order.

The drums sounded again, and the orderly passed on the latest order.

Soldiers lined up on both sides of the passage filled with corpses by the Xiliang army, and the wounded were sent to the rear. Wu Shi, who was seriously downsized, reorganized urgently and prepared to fight again.

Seeing the busy and undisturbed adjustments of the soldiers under his command, Yang Feng was both proud and a little uneasy.

He couldn't have imagined that the battle could be fought like this before.

This is all thanks to the Son of Heaven.

If the Son of Heaven hadn't personally participated in discussing defensive methods with ordinary soldiers, and designed such a formation, it would be impossible for them to block the crazy attack of the Xiliang Army, and the line may have collapsed.

But the soldiers' belief in the emperor also made him feel a huge crisis.

If this battle can be won, how many people think it is his credit, and how many people think it is the grace of the emperor?
If you disagree with the emperor, how many people will support the emperor?
Yang Feng turned his head and glanced at the emperor on the hillside.

The emperor just happened to look over.

The two were more than a hundred steps apart, their eyes facing each other.

-

When the Xiliang army attacked for the first time, Liu Xie didn't pay much attention.

He is busy receiving the knights and archers sent by Wangfu and Jujun.

There are [-] knights and [-] archers in name, but in fact there are only [-] knights and [-] archers, a total of [-] people.

For Liu Xie, it is still a timely supplement of strength.

His first order was to send the archers to the front for reinforcements.

Compared with the crossbowmen of the Baibo Army, these archers are obviously more effective in combat, although they are still far from the real archers.

Archery is more dependent on training.

The knights were divided into two groups, some of the new knights were selected to supplement the servants of Huben, and the rest of the knights formed a team of their own.

Just when he asked Guo Wu to choose the knights, the sound of retreating drums sounded in front of him.

Before he could react, the sound of the drums changed again, from retreating to changing formations on the spot.

Liu Xie glanced subconsciously, meeting Yang Feng's gaze.

In an instant, he had an intuition that Yang Feng's glance was probably not just a casual look.

But before he had time to think about it, he was attracted by the position of the Xiliang Army in the distance.

Under the rising sun, the soldiers lined up in a row are too eye-catching.

Li Jue and others controlled the government, and the court's military equipment was in name only.Most of the Xiliang army wore leather armor, a limited proportion wore iron armor, and it was even rarer for all one or two hundred soldiers to wear iron armor.

This should be the commander's personal guard.

The general's personal guard has the function of supervising the battle, so it is not surprising to appear in front of the battle.But being so serious can only illustrate one problem.

The general in charge of the offense is determined to win the position at any cost.

Was Jia Xu's words hit?

Liu Xie was surprised and delighted, while carefully looking at the situation before the battle, while analyzing the reasons for his misjudgment.

That was not his own judgment, Yang Xiu and Ding Chong also thought so.

But it turns out that they were all wrong, and Jia Xu guessed right.

In terms of trying to figure out people's hearts, they are all too young, and together they are not as good as Jia Xu alone.

Liu Xie didn't understand why Li Jue attacked crazily, but he understood Jia Xu's intention.

Without speaking aloud, he inadvertently proved his strength and his indispensability.

This old fox.

Before Liu Xie could finish his slander, the drums sounded again, and the Xiliang army launched another attack.

The two hundred soldiers were divided into four groups, each holding two wooden rafts, approaching the position.

One of the group took a fancy to the passage filled by the corpses of the previous companions, quickly passed through the trench, and met the Baibo army hand in hand.

But this is not an opportunity for breakthrough, but a trap.

They were besieged on three sides by the Baibo army.

Even if they fought at the expense of their lives, they still couldn't reverse the unfavorable situation of being outnumbered, and they were cut down to the ground one after another, or fell into a pit.

The soldiers of the Baibo Army on the two wings squeezed over and killed all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who had nowhere to retreat.

The results are gratifying, but the price is very limited. Except for some minor injuries and a few serious injuries, no one died in battle.

Yang Feng, who was in charge of the battle, could see clearly and was both surprised and delighted.

He immediately ordered that the soldiers who were fighting back with all their strength follow the plan, and took the initiative to make way for one gap after another, and bring in the Xiliang army to encircle and suppress them.

The battle drums sounded one after another, and the two sides fought inextricably.
