Chapter 310 It's okay to scare people

Xu Shiji personally commanded the dragon shield array to slowly squeeze into the valley. Looking at it from a high altitude, the dragon shield array actually looked more like a huge and ferocious centipede slowly crawling into the valley. In front of the centipede, the Yanyunzhai soldiers blocking the front looked so small.

But this is only small on the surface. Since the shield formation entered the valley, the troops of Yanyun Village seem to be retreating constantly, and some of them have no way to take the shield formation. Feather arrows cannot penetrate the defense of the shield formation. Blocked by the spears protruding from the shield formation, it seemed that the people of Wagangzhai could only squeeze into the valley for a while, but as the commander, Xu Shiji frowned more and more.

He always felt that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

But he didn't have time to think about it at this time, and commanded the second thousand-man shield formation into the valley while being vigilant.The valley was narrow, and if the two shield formations walked side by side, it would almost fill the valley. In this way, the soldiers of Yanyun Village could only retreat, leaving only one option to attack the front of the shield formation.But to be on the safe side, Xu Shiji didn't let the two long dragon shield formations advance side by side, but entered the valley end to end one after the other.

Behind the two long dragon shield formations, there is an archer of a thousand-man team, trailing behind the shield formations, the feathered arrows diffuse and attack indiscriminately, to ensure that those who attack the shield formations do not dare to approach, and after entering the valley, this The archers of the thousand-man team became a little passive, because the archers of Yanyun Village on the hillside were condescending and had an advantage.

The archer's escort really couldn't go very far, the deeper the archer went, the greater the casualties. The next thing to do was to see how far the shield formation penetrated. This attack was aimed at saving people rather than a decisive battle, so Xu Shiji didn't want to fight with them. How much damage can the Longlong Shield Formation do to the troops in Yanyun Village? In fact, the attack power of the shield formation itself is not great. Unless the shield formation is dispersed after reaching the destination, otherwise, as long as the shield formation does not disintegrate and the enemy does not come close, it will be impossible to attack. to kill the enemy.

Xu Shiji didn't know how far Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin had entered the valley. If it was more than three miles, he was worried that the shield formation would be surrounded by groups if they entered too deep.Although the defense is amazing, the shield array is not invincible. As long as it is trapped, it is not a fantasy for an ant to kill an elephant.

Besides, the shield formation is not an elephant, and the people in Yanyun Village are not ants.

Just two miles inward from the mouth of this valley, there is a huge boulder protruding from the hillside on one side. Behind the boulder is a small piece of flat ground, barely enough for a dozen people to stand on.At this time, Daxi Changru stood here with his hands behind his back, looking down at the two big centipedes slowly crawling over.Xiong Kuohai and the others behind him also had calm faces, as if they were not troubled by the continuous pressure of the long dragon shield formation.

"At the time when Great Sui Ping destroyed Nanchen."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Changru Daxi said slowly with some disappointment: "After crossing the Yangtze River, I fought a decisive battle with the Southern Chen army. That day, the Southern Chen army formed this long dragon shield formation and charged directly at the Great Sui army formation. Chu Gong Yang Su Order to use crossbow carts to stop them, use fine cavalry to roam and circle, and use long spears to overturn the shield formation bit by bit."

"It's just that we don't have ballistas in our hands now, and the cavalry in the narrow valley are useless."

"It seems that the long dragon shield array is very suitable for fighting in this valley."

Daxi Changru smiled: "It's just that there are no absolutes in the world. Things that seem to be suitable, in fact, have both pros and cons. Those who command the shield formation into the valley in Wagang Village can see the big picture, but ignore the details."

Xiong Kuohai asked: "The person who commanded the shield array didn't let the two shield arrays advance side by side. In fact, he thought of the rocks on the hillside, and he was afraid that if we threw the rocks, there would be no room for dodge if the two shield arrays went side by side. , this person's mind seems to be considered meticulous."

"But there are more than just rocks in this valley."

Luo Fu smiled and said, "There are still many big trees."

Daxi Changru smiled slightly, and then waved the flag in his hand a few times.The soldiers of Yanyun Village in the valley were ordered to retreat into the valley like a tide.About [-] meters in front of the long dragon shield formation, the soldiers of Yanyun Village on the hillsides on both sides were struggling to cut down trees.On both sides of the hillside behind the second dragon shield formation, soldiers from Yanyun Village were also cutting down trees.

"not good!"

Xu Shiji, who was standing at the mouth of the valley watching, turned pale with shock.

"Archers! Press in and shoot the Yanyun Village soldiers on both sides of the valley!"

Xu Shiji ordered loudly.

Hundreds of archers risked being shot and rushed in under the protection of shieldmen, trying to push back the Yanyunzhai soldiers on both sides of the hillside, but it was too late, and a feathered arrow shot at the enemy who was swinging the axe. On the forehead of a Yanyunzhai soldier, his body shook violently, and then he slowly threw himself forward and hit the towering tree. Perhaps it was only a small amount of strength, and the already crumbling tree fell down. .

This seemed to be a signal. Following the fall of the first big tree, the trees on both sides of the valley fell down one after another along the hillside. In ten minutes, both ends of the shield formation entering the valley were blocked!Those two thousand-man shield formations were sealed by giant trees in front and back!

Xu Shiji let out a long sigh, his body swayed, and he almost fell down.

"bow!"

Following the waving of Daxi Changru's command flag, the soldiers who had retreated from Yanyun village came back again.Countless people rushed down from the hillside to surround the shield formation. With an order, the soldiers of Yanyun Village ignited the rockets wrapped in strips of oiled cloth one after another. Thousands of rockets fired at the two huge giants centipede.

Centipedes have thick armor and are invulnerable to swords, but they cannot stop the flames from burning.

……

……

"Report!"

A panting scout came galloping on horseback, before dismounting in time, he cupped his fists on the horse and said, "Master Zhang, the Yanyun Village brigade came from behind, the smoke and dust covered the sun, and I don't know how many troops there are. Master Zhang can't hold back anymore, He ordered me to come quickly and ask the master to send reinforcements over there!"

"what?"

Zhai Rang was shocked when he heard this: "Where are there so many people in Yanyun Village!"

"Mao Gong, how can this be done!"

He looked at Xu Shiji and asked eagerly.

Xu Shiji's heart was a little confused at this time. He didn't think that the people in Yanyun Village would attack the long dragon shield formation with rockets, and he also thought that the people in Yanyun Village would throw rocks, but he could only rescue Cheng Zhijie and Shan Yu. Xiong Xin pinned his luck on luck, because the advantage of the terrain of this valley is all on the side of Yanyun Village, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Marquis Wu is reborn, he can't think of any way to do it.He just didn't expect that those people in Yanyunzhai would be so ruthless, they would block the way of advance and retreat with giant trees before attacking with rockets. There is a way out.

It was not Li Xian who commanded the troops in Yanyunzhai!

Xu Shiji suddenly thought of a problem. If Li Xian commanded it, he might cut down giant trees to block it, or attack with rockets, but before ordering the arrows to be released, Li Xian would definitely persuade the trapped Wagangzhai soldiers to surrender.It's not because Li Xian is kind and soft-hearted, and he is by no means a kind person, it's because Li Xian is reluctant to part with those giant shields, and if they are set on fire, he will feel distressed.

During the days in Yanyun Village, Xu Shiji deeply felt Li Xian's greed.

That kind of greed is not insatiable, but that he will not waste anything that is useful to him. Although he is somewhat petty, this kind of character is not annoying. Two thousand giant shields are a lot of wealth for infantry !

Moreover, Li Xian might take the opportunity to threaten Wagang Village to retreat.

But now, the people of Yanyunzhai didn't give the Wagangzhai shield soldiers the slightest chance, directly blocked them and then killed them with fire. The person who ordered them was cold and straightforward, obviously not Li Xian's style.

Xu Shiji frowned, his heart brightened.

Li Xian was among the Yanyunzhai troops attacking by the rear team!

"The master, the whole army is going backwards, and try our best to attack the enemies of Yanyunzhai who are coming from behind! Li Xian is in the army of Yanyunzhai at the back. As long as we defeat the enemy army behind, the ambush in the valley of Yanyunzhai is not a problem. !"

Xu Shiji thought of this and suggested to Zhai Rang loudly.

Zhai Rang was startled, and hesitated: "But... But Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Zhijie are still in the valley, how can we abandon them?"

"Li Xian is seriously injured, and the strength of the troops in Yanyun Village in the back is definitely not too many. It cannot be said that it is Li Xian's suspicious strategy. Live in Li Xian, and then exchange him for Second Brother Shan and Cheng Zhijie!"

……

……

In fact, there are not many troops in Yanyun Village in the rear team. There are only a battalion of Liehuo soldiers and horses, plus more than a thousand people from Lei Zecheng Minyong, the total strength of the troops is only about 7000.But judging from the scene, it seemed that there were no less than 3 people, and the momentum was menacing.

Right in front were the soldiers of the Liehuo camp rushing forward in formation, and behind them were more than a thousand Minyong running back and forth dragging branches.Zhang Liang had only 3000 men, and he couldn't hold back the attack of Lie Huo Camp. Seeing that the people behind Yanyun Village were still coming endlessly, he was also frightened and uneasy.

Zhang Liang originally didn't plan to fight head-on with the people of Yanyunzhai. He wanted to get in touch with himself a little and then lead the troops to retreat. He saved the 3000 troops by himself, and either led the troops to go west to chase Li Mi, or Wait and see from one side, if Wagangzhai is defeated, he will take advantage of the situation to kill Zhai Rang and replace him.It's a pity that he intended to invite Xu Shiji to go with him, but Xu Shiji just pretended to be stupid and didn't go with him.

Now that Xu Shiji didn't leave, Zhang Liang lost the confidence to take over the dominance of Wagang Village.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight with the troops of Yanyun Village, but the strength of the Liehuo Camp in Yanyunzhai was more than twice his. In addition, the Liehuo Battalion was waiting for work, there has been no fighting these days, and the soldiers are full of energy , the morale is high.So Zhang Liang's men were killed and retreated steadily, and they were about to be broken by the men of Yanyunzhai.
