Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 843: Find a certificate of surrender first
When these refugee armies were roaming around, they spent most of their time fighting in an unorganized manner, with no regard for military formations or command systems. Therefore, when they encountered officers and soldiers, they would immediately lose control of their left and right sides when they charged at them, making it difficult to maintain the team. will crash.

As the waves washed away the sand, the refugee troops that were able to survive and form a system were actually more or less led by people with knowledge of military art, military backgrounds, and even people from aristocratic families themselves.

They introduced rudimentary formations into the team to form a queue, which facilitated command and also allowed them to clarify their responsibilities. However, the characteristics of the refugee army determined that such military reform was slow and difficult. A slight push would cause a backlash.

But when the refugees like Chen Wu and Li Tou were recruited by Wang Jun, the other party was not too worried about the backlash and allowed the Xianbei people to suppress them. It was not to train elite troops, but simply to facilitate control, and introduced a stricter military formation system.

In this case, if any soldier shows signs of retreating or fleeing on the battlefield, the formation will be chaotic. He will be detected by the team leader immediately, and the punishment afterwards will be light. It is not uncommon to directly behead the capital.

"But it will be different soon," Chen Wu lowered his voice again, "If my guess is correct, the troops in front may have been defeated, and the losses were not small, but they were not completely wiped out. This shows that our situation is very serious. It’s dangerous, this team may fall into complete chaos at any time!”

"How do you know?" Li Tou said with confusion on his face, "Since the vanguard in front has not been killed, doesn't it mean that the enemy is not strong? How can there be danger? What's more, even if it is attacked, this army formation They are still there, if we retreat, those barbarians will find us and there is no way we can escape!"

"If it is a normal attack and kill, then even if the two armies collide, the formation will still not change, but what if it is an interception halfway?" Chen Wu knew that there were too many explanations, and his companion might not be able to understand it in an instant. So he simply issued a warning.

As if he had made an agreement with someone, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the forest on both sides, and then a famous soldier appeared, nocking an arrow and drawing his bow without a pause, and then a rain of swords came roaring!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"No! Get out of the way!"

"It's an arrow, with two wings holding a shield!"

……

Following the exclamations and orders, the refugee army fell into panic and chaos in an instant.

Because these people have not experienced complete training, neither Wang Jun nor Duan Pixian attaches much importance to them. In such a battle, they are directly pulled out as human shields and cannon fodder to reduce the damage to their direct descendants. However, This also means that once an unexpected situation breaks out, it will be difficult for the ranks of these refugee armies to maintain the situation.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Arrows roared from the sky, and accompanied by bursts of sound piercing the sky, the ranks of the refugee army were instantly confused!
"Don't retreat! Hold on! Hold on!"

"Don't worry, we have many people, strong soldiers and horses, and there are heroes behind us. Don't be afraid, just charge forward!"

"As long as there are people who backslide, there are people like this!"

In the chaos, it was time to test the grassroots officers. Those Xianbei captains lived up to their trust. They either took the lead or killed those who retreated. All of them were brave and controlled the chaos to a certain extent.

However, many people took advantage of the chaos and left their original positions, including Chen Wu and Li Tou. "What should we do now? You said they would be in chaos soon, so I ran with you. But it seems that the queue is going to be restored now. This is really bad. Afterwards..."

Li Tou whispered as he ran, surrounded by the gradually recovering crowd on both sides. Because it was still in chaos, the two of them didn't look like much. Once the team regrouped, the two of them would be very conspicuous, even if they were not theirs. The team leader could also see that these two people were running away.

Chen Wu sneered and said: "That will only happen after they have done it. With the skills of these barbarians, they don't even know that they have fallen into a trap!"

"What do you mean?" Li Tou wanted to ask more clearly, but before he could speak, he heard a "bang bang bang bang" sound coming from the surrounding forest, and then several flaming fireballs flew out of the forest.

Li Tou immediately opened his mouth.

"It's the fire from the single-shooter cannon!" Chen Wu did not panic. Although the shock could be seen in his eyes, he still maintained a basic calmness, "And it's the kind with wheels that can be... Dragging the moving single-shooter cannon!"

As he spoke, he skillfully tore off a piece of cloth from his arm, then took out a water bag from his waist. After opening it, he poured water on the cloth without hesitation, and then tied it around his mouth quickly with his hands and feet. Then he turned around and glanced at Li Tou, who was stunned, and couldn't help but urge: "What are you still waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and do it? Or is there not enough water in the bag?" Because his mouth was covered with something, his voice Seems a little low.

Li Tou finally came to his senses at this time and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream was heard, but he was hit by a fire pole not far away. The iron caltrops in it spread out, causing a mass of destruction.

As soon as Li Tou heard the voice and looked at the situation, he didn't bother to ask. He lowered his head and rushed forward with Chen Wu.

There are countless people around who have made the same choice as them.

After walking a few steps, Chen Wu suddenly whispered: "I want you to pay more attention to some teachings in the army, but you just don't listen to them. Some of the county fires in that generation can burst into flames, and some smoke rises. Not only barbed wire can hurt people, The raging fire can also burn your bones and muscles, and the smoke can choke your mouth and nose. I heard that some of the mist is also poisonous. You will be dizzy if you smell it, and you will die if you touch it!"

"So powerful!" Li Tou was startled. He happened to see thick smoke rising from a place not far away where the firewood fell. He immediately trembled all over and turned quickly. At the same time, he also imitated Chen Wu and tore into pieces. Take the next sleeve and water it with a water bag.

Chen Wu followed and said: "Duan Bu and Ruan Bao, who were defeated by Huo Zhu before, are both members of the Youzhou Army. Now this single-shot cannon and Huo Zhu are famous all over the world, but it can be said that they have really suffered a loss. Yes, only those under Wang Jun's command, so they also paid special attention to response and counterattack. Not only did they send out many spies and agents to detect and steal, but they also made many defensive items and distributed them to the army. , it’s just that those of us from the refugee army are not taken seriously at all and cannot get good things. We can only survive by relying on some explanations. This cloth is soaked in water and covered over the mouth and nose, which can block the smoke to a certain extent. gas."

"So that's what happened," Li Tou nodded, and had already covered his mouth and nose with the rag, so what he said seemed much lower-pitched, "Then it's time to run away, this single The cannons are powerful, and we are basically sent to die, so the only option is to escape, but this time we leave, we don’t know where we are going to end up, so do we have to fall into the grass again?”

Chen Wu grinned, showing his white teeth: "Of course not, I have to find a good place to go. But if you want to vote for the Ming Lord, you must have a reasonable certificate of surrender! Only in this way can you display your skills. Chance!"
