Three Kingdoms

It is not that difficult to lure the enemy. After all, both humans and animals have the instinct to chase prey. What is difficult is how to overcome the instinct. Lan

Two armies confront each other, and both sides of the war plot against each other. If the weak wants to defeat the strong, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the strong makes a mistake and exposes a flaw. At the same time, the weak also seizes this flaw. Only then can the situation of the war be reversed. If the strong man's position is solid and there are no mistakes, then the weak man's strategy may not be of any use no matter how clever it is.

In the final analysis, both sides are fighting for strength.

Especially in war, not only the weak have the right to use strategies.

Zhu Huan, wearing heavy armor, stood in the queue.

In the age of cold weapons, armor was almost the second life of soldiers. Zhu Huan's men basically all had armor, but the Shanyue barbarians on the opposite side could only use their bodies and luck to resist the damage.

The guards behind Zhu Huan raised the battle flag high and fluttered it in the wind. The flag with the word "zhu" fluttered in the wind, hunting and flying in the mountains. The bright red flag surface was like blood flowing.

Zhu Huan took a long breath and shouted: "You rats, Zhu is here, who dares to fight?" ! 'Lan

Zhu Huan's invitation to fight immediately caused an uproar among the barbarians.

People in the Han Dynasty were relatively simple. Zhu Huan said that he was Zhu Huan, and most of the barbarians did not know Zhu Huan, but no one doubted it. They all looked at each other, and their eyes revealed more or less something. The color of hatred comes.

During this period of time, Zhu Huan slaughtered a lot of barbarian villages, which can be said to have stretched the hatred value to death. Now he openly entered the mountains, and there were only more than a hundred people around him. This seemed to be a good opportunity for revenge. Perhaps as long as Zhu Huan is captured, the situation of the battle can be reversed and victory can be won!

"kill him! kill him! ’ A leader of the Southern Barbarians jumped out, baring his teeth and gesticulating. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity and he couldn’t miss it!

Although Nanman Shanyue knows that Zhu Huan and others are in trouble, there are only more than a hundred people around Zhu Huan now. Even though these soldiers are elite and good at fighting, the gap in number between Nanman Shanyue and Nanman Shanyue is still huge, and this is the middle of the mountains and forests. The land is not next to the river boats. Even if it costs two to three times, as long as Zhu Huan can be captured and killed, it is acceptable!

Zhu Huan and the others seemed not to have expected that the Nanman would attack them crazily. The queue was somewhat scattered. When Nanman Shanyue and the others were about to rush forward, they were able to line up the sword and shield men in the front row and get ready for the battle. .

The barbarian archers took the lead in attacking. Lan

Zhu Huan glanced sideways at the arrows used by the barbarians, then took a step back slightly and asked the guard to raise the shield to block the arrows. The force was not very strong, but the accuracy was not bad, especially the poisonous barbarian arrows. arrow.

Behind the barbarians who are howling and charging, there are always some barbarian hunters aiming at the weak points of Jiangdong soldiers and others. These barbarian arrows may not have much armor-breaking ability, but they will definitely be accompanied by various toxins. . Zhu Huan just wanted to lure the enemy, and was not reckless enough to leave his life at the mercy of the goddess of luck.

The barbarian's arrows landed on the shields, making a sound like exploding beans, but Zhu Huan and others did not move at all, and did not even fight back, which was the greatest expression of contempt for the barbarians.

As long as they don't hit vital parts such as the face, barbarian arrows can't penetrate the armor. Especially if they cross the front line and land at Zhu Huan's side, their strength will be greatly reduced. Under the shield of the guards, Zhu Huan's safety is still guaranteed to a certain extent, so that he can issue instructions to adjust the queue in a more timely manner.

When the barbarians saw this, they became even more angry. They howled, formed a loose formation, waved their weapons, and rushed towards Zhu Huan.

Seeing Manzi rushing to the front of the array, Zhu Chang roared, rushed out from the gap between the two shield hands, and wielded his sword at Manzi who was at the head. He slashed left and right with his sword, killing two people in a row. More barbarians rushed up, but Zhu Chang was not afraid. He danced with his long sword and made a whirring sound. He was invincible and attracted the attention of many barbarians. He screamed and rushed towards Zhu Chang, which invisibly made the original barbarian. The queue of barbarians, which was not very neat, became even more scattered.

"Enter! 'Lan

Zhu Huan shouted loudly, and the pikemen behind the shield man suddenly shot out of the gap in the shield like Zhu Chang, like a hedgehog suddenly raising its thorns, and immediately penetrated the bodies of many barbarians, and the blood Flowers spurted out, dyeing the open space in the forest a bright red.

"retreat! 』

Zhu Huan shouted loudly again, and then the sword and shield hand also shouted loudly, which resounded over the battle line.

Zhu Chang also shouted, and then knocked down a barbarian. He didn't look behind at all, but stared at the barbarians on the left and right in front. While waving his sword to hit the barbarian's weapons, he backed up and hit the shields of friendly troops behind him. , then twisted around and slid over the shield, hiding behind it.

The rest of the spearmen did the same, fighting and retreating, retreating into the shield formation.

Of course, there were also spearmen who charged too fiercely, or unlucky guys who accidentally stepped on the wrong side of the battlefield. These guys were surrounded by the barbarians who followed, and were killed instantly with swords and guns.

Zhu Huan glanced at the spearmen who were killed, his expression unmoved. Lan

Although the more than 100 people Zhu Huan brought with him were all his own private soldiers, there were also three, six, and nine ranks. The spearmen are undoubtedly the lowest-ranking recruits in the headquarters array. The spearman needs to master the least skills. He only needs to know how to sprint forward to kill and retreat into the formation. After these new recruits become familiar with spear training and their bodies become stronger or more flexible during the training, they can then choose to focus on sword and shield hands or crossbowmen, etc. according to the situation.

Those who are lucky will gradually become elite warriors with rich combat experience, but those who are unlucky...

The spearmen retreated, and the barbarians stepped on the dead bodies and rushed forward.

Even though these barbarians howled menacingly, these mountain barbarians, who had no idea what array training was, were running around in a crooked way. These scattered corpses and stumps became obstacles to the barbarians' charge.

The sword and shield players in Zhu Huan's battle formation fought hard, beheading the barbarians who rushed over on their corpses and body parts one by one in front of the formation, and then added more flesh and blood in front of the formation.

Although the formation of Zhu Huan and others was small, it was powerful. More than a hundred soldiers under Zhu Huan's command fought vigorously. Although the barbarians, several times larger than Jiangdong's army, kept charging in front of the formation, they were still unable to break through Zhu Huan's line.

Zhu Huan stood in the formation, motionless. Lan

The battle flags flying above their heads seemed to be mocking the barbarians for their overestimation of their own capabilities.

Seeing more barbarians rushing up, Zhu Huan raised his sword, strode forward, and at the same time shouted: "Change!" 』

After hearing this, Zhu Chang, who was short of breath from the killing, immediately put away his sword, stepped back, and gave up his position to Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan took it, spread his legs slightly, picked up the sword, swung it diagonally, and slashed the neck of a barbarian who saw Zhu Chang retreat and was eager to pursue the kill and lost his posture. An umbrella-shaped blood mist was sprayed out, and then the long knife swung, throwing the blood on the face of the second barbarian who rushed up.

The barbarian closed his eyes subconsciously, and then he felt a cold feeling on his belly, and all the energy in his body was like a punctured water bag, flowing out with a squeaking sound.

Before the second barbarian realized the fact that he had been chopped, Zhu Huan had already knocked away the sword that the third barbarian had chopped off, and then cut off one of the fourth barbarian's arms.

At this time, the internal organs in the belly of the second barbarian fell to the ground in colorful colors...

The surrounding barbarians were stunned and stunned, and they all took a step back. No one dared to approach Zhu Huan for several breaths. After a while, under Zhu Huan's beckoning and teasing, they howled and rushed forward again.

Most of the barbarians have not received effective training. During the battle, these guys just know how to slash with their swords. If they are very powerful, such as Samoko, they may be able to cause certain damage to Zhu Huan. Threat, but if you are just at the level of an average person, or even a little weak due to lack of daily nutrition, when you encounter a skilled general like Zhu Huan, basically don't think about taking advantage of it.

Zhu Huan is powerful and has pretty good power-generating skills. When facing these barbarians, he can use these skills almost without reservation. On the one hand, in order to save physical strength, and on the other hand, he had confidence in the heavy armor on his body, so he stood upright in front of the battle, not giving in even a step in the collision of swords and guns, which added a bit of strength to his fighting process and won the victory. His soldiers cheered in unison.

When the two sides were fighting with blood and flesh, in the mountains and forests, Huang Gai and his men took advantage of the fact that the Vietnamese barbarians in the mountains were mostly distracted by Zhu Huan, and secretly outflanked them.

But on the other side, there is also a group of barbarians sneaking towards the river...

Although Zhu Huan is currently very prosperous and brave, it does not mean that Zhu Huan is guaranteed to win.

Zhu Huan did not expect that with more than a hundred people, he could kill all the barbarians in these strongholds. Moreover, where the barbarian leaders were, there were more or less dozens of hundreds of barbarian warriors. Even if Zhu Huan were to Even if he can fight, the strength of his elite soldiers is not unlimited, and most of the barbarian leaders have not sent out the real barbarian warriors. Obviously, they have to use cannon fodder to consume the blood of Zhu Huan and others. Lan

If Huang Gai does not come with his troops, Zhu Huan and others will take another turn or two, and they must consider retreating before their strength is completely exhausted. Of course, if they retreat and lose their array, the barbarians, who are obviously more flexible and convenient in the mountains and forests, will cause huge casualties to Zhu Huan and others.

This point has been verified many times during the previous confrontation between Jiangdong and Nanman Shanyue, so Zhu Huan knew it in his heart, and the barbarian leader opposite also knew it.

Zhu Huan was waiting for Huang Gai, while the barbarian leader on the opposite side sent people to bypass the battlefield and prepare to destroy the ship of Zhu Huan and others. If Zhu Huan's ship is destroyed, then the barbarian leader will have the confidence to keep Zhu Huan and others in the mountains and forests!

There are many mountains and forests in the Wuling area, and they are uneven up and down. Unlike Jizhou and Yuzhou, the view is wide. In addition, the bushes cover the area, and there are also the sounds of killing and screaming in the battlefield. Unless they collide face to face, there will be no chance at all. Know what's going on on the other side of the woods.

In the center of the battlefield, Zhu Huan had already exchanged arrays twice, and the battle gradually entered a more bloody stage. After the initial death of the southern barbarian cannon fodder, barbarian warriors gradually joined the battle. The combat experience of these barbarian warriors is much higher than that of ordinary barbarians.

These barbarian warriors seized on the biggest weakness of Zhu Huan and others, which was the small number of people. The Nanman warriors did not easily come forward to fight for their lives. They threw rocks and blew arrows from the outside. Even if they came to fight with swords and guns, they retreated at the first touch and did not fight for a long time with Zhu Huan and others.

This way of fighting forced Zhu Huan and others to face more opponents, and also caused Zhu Huan and others' physical consumption to increase rapidly. By the time Zhu Huan withdrew his backline breath adjustment for the third time, even with Zhu Huan's physique, he was already sweating profusely and panting. Lan

Although the Wuling area does not have the tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia or the density of mountain forests in the south-central Jiaozhi area, the mountains and forests are still relatively humid in spring, and it becomes even more stuffy under strenuous exercise, especially if you are not used to being in the mountains and forests. Among them, there were Jiangdong soldiers in armor and heavy loads. Almost all of them had their hearts beating so fast that they were about to burst out of their throats. Their throats were about to smoke, and the stinging pain was unbearable.

Zhu Huan even had a wavering thought in his heart.

Because they have armor, Jiangdong soldiers suffer fewer casualties than barbarians, but it is because of these extra armors that Jiangdong soldiers now consume more physical energy and are more tired than those barbarians who do not wear armor. If they continue Continue like this……

Seeing that Jiang Dong's soldiers began to show signs of fatigue, and the hands that collided with Jiang Dong could also feel that the strength of these soldiers began to weaken, these barbarians started shouting, and their momentum became more and more fierce. Colliding with Jiang Dongbing's array.

At this moment, one can see the difference between Jiangdong's private soldiers and ordinary soldiers.

Private soldiers are more tenacious. As long as Zhu Huan does not fall, he will not retreat easily even if he grits his teeth. If this were a group of ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, most of them would have collapsed and started to flee at this time.

Therefore, in this battle, it is not that Zhu Huan does not want to bring more soldiers, nor is it that Zhu Huan deliberately takes risks, but that in addition to the more than a hundred elites in this headquarters, even if he brings one hundred more soldiers, even Two hundred ordinary soldiers will not increase their combat effectiveness much. Lan

In the face of such strong pressure, ordinary soldiers in Jiangdong can easily collapse, and once the soldiers collapse, the chain impact on the front line will inevitably drag Zhu Huan's headquarters into the water.

As for the servant soldiers who were originally captured from Shanyue, it is not to mention that it is okay to attack other areas. If they enter the Shanyue territory, they may not even fight before they see their original relatives and neighbors, muttering secretly For a while, even betrayal on the spot was possible. Therefore, whenever Jiangdong wants to march into the Shanyue area, he usually does not bring these servant soldiers.

Zhu Huan's private soldiers and their families were basically supported by Zhu Huan. From another perspective, the families of these private soldiers were the hostages held by Zhu Huan. Of course, these private soldiers must protect Zhu Huan when fighting. If only Zhu Huan dies, even if these people can escape with their lives, they will not end well. Often the whole family will be arrested as traitors. Therefore, most of the private soldiers, especially Zhu Huan's bodyguards, would rather follow Zhu Huan to death in battle to keep his family safe.

The battle was fierce. Although some of their companions continued to fall in a pool of blood, Zhu Huan and the others still fought tenaciously, did not flinch, and gritted their teeth to hold on.

The barbarians were also in a difficult situation.

There were many of them, but Zhu Huanxuan's position was very good. The barbarians could not take full advantage of their numerical advantage. In addition, after the battle casualties, blood and spring moss were mixed with mud, as well as corpses and stumps, which were high and low under their feet. , unable to go all out, facing the array of Zhu Huan and others, although they fought one after another, they have been unable to achieve a substantial breakthrough, and as the battle situation became stalemate, more and more barbarians were injured and killed, which also weakened their confidence. Slowly fading away, the fighting spirit is no longer high.

Seeing this scene, several barbarian leaders were extremely anxious. Lan

Their number was several times that of Zhu Huan and others, and even after the battle, they were still unable to break Zhu Huan's formation of more than a hundred men. Although they did cause some casualties to Zhu Huan and others, the injured soldiers were quickly dragged to They went into the array, so the barbarians couldn't calculate the specific casualties of Zhu Huan and others for a while.

The total number of barbarians now is only close to a thousand. Although the number does not seem to be large, it is just like someone from Jiangdong who always talks about one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. The specifics also depend on the quality. These nearly a thousand people are all young and strong, which means they are the core force of the serious Southern Barbarians, just like Zhu Huan's private soldiers.

These nearly a thousand people are equivalent to the backbone of seven to eight hundred barbarian families. If there are really too many casualties in this battle, even if Zhu Huan and others are really killed, they may not be one What a bargain…

Is it all-or-nothing, or is it just a matter of giving up?

The opinions of the barbarian leaders are somewhat inconsistent.

When there was a stalemate, Huang Gai saw that he had reached almost the same position, and some of them had even begun to contact and fight with the barbarians on the edge of the battlefield, so he simply ordered an attack.

The war drums were beaten, reverberating loudly in the mountains and forests. Lan

Huang Gai led his men and dispersed them into small teams. There was no specific formation and they just rushed towards the barbarian troops from all directions. The barbarian was immediately frightened, shouting wild words in his mouth, feeling dizzy and at a loss.

Seeing Huang Gai's flag flashing among the woods and shrubs, Zhu Huan leaned on his sword and let out a long breath.

He persisted.

Huang Gai is here.

Zhu Huan had wondered more than once before whether Huang Gai was deliberately trying to use the barbarians' swords to undermine Zhu Huan's strength, so Zhu Huan was worried that Huang Gai would wait until he had exhausted all his men before he showed up.

Zhu Huan had doubts, but he did not speak out or express objections because he was a young general in Jiangdong. He was not qualified to say anything in front of Huang Gai...

Now it seems that Zhu Huan himself is too worried? Lan

He saw Huang Gai appear at the edge of the forest and seemed to have his eyes on him.

At such a moment, the two people seemed to exchange some information in their eyes...

Zhu Huan stood up straight, raised his blood-stained sword, and shouted hoarsely: "Kill——"

Huang Gai also raised his sword in the distance and shouted the same voice: "Kill!" 』

"kill! 』

Jiangdong soldiers raised their weapons and rushed towards the barbarians to kill them.

The arrival of reinforcements from Jiangdong completely defeated the few remaining confidence of several barbarian leaders. Lan

These barbarians had no intention of fighting and immediately ordered a retreat. The barbarians, who had been fighting for a long time, had been unable to attack Zhu Huan for a long time. Their morale was a little frustrated. Then they saw so many Jiangdong soldiers swarming around them. After hearing the order to retreat, they screamed and didn't care about those who were going to retreat. I wonder if I can achieve any results. I just want to follow the barbarian leader to escape from the battlefield...
