Three Kingdoms

A high-pitched and low-pitched horn was blown.

If you stand next to the horn, you will hear a high-pitched sound that is deafening, but if you are far away, it will sound like a low sound, which will make your blood tremble. This voice, which contains two characteristics, has always been the most common battlefield command for the Hu people.

Amidst such horns, the Western Region Allied Forces slowly gathered.

Busen walked slowly, muttering something and clasping his hands.

His disciples followed him, shaking the incense burner in their hands. The faint green smoke spread out with the shaking of the incense burner and wrapped around the barbarians arrayed at the front.

An old herdsman who looked about the same age as Busen was wearing a tattered leather robe, with a hole in the left side bitten by insects and a tuft of hair missing on the right side. The only thing relatively new was a blue stripe tied on his arm. Colored cloth strips. It seems to represent some identity, or a temporary frontline commander.

He was shouting the key points of the battle to the herdsmen around him, "...Listen up!" Follow me! Don't stop! Don’t be afraid of anything you see! Don't even think about it! Just rush forward! If we rush forward and eliminate the Han people, we will win! This is how I survived last time! Does everyone understand? 』

"knew……"

"I understand, I understand!" 』

"oh! 』

Other herdsmen responded in a flurry of responses.

Busen could understand the accents of some people's shouts, but he couldn't understand others either.

"But, what should we use to fight against the Han people?" "A slightly stooped herdsman said. He only held a wooden stick in his hand, which was not even as long as his arm. "I only got this... This doesn't even have an iron tip! 』

"This can also kill Han Chinese!" "The old herdsman from before also waved a wooden stick in his hand and said loudly, "I only have one wooden stick! We don’t have that many iron tips! Good things should be left to our children! Is not it? If we kill the Han people, we will have everything! 』

Bu Sen clasped his hands together and walked from one end to the other. He paused, then was silent for a while, and said to the disciple beside him: "I remember I have a dagger over there with you... Yes, that's the one... You can give this dagger to the one in the queue to pierce it." The man with the blue cloth... just tell him that I wish him victory..."

The disciple nodded, then held the dagger in both hands and ran back into the queue.

After a while, cheers broke out among the herdsmen.

The disciple came back, followed by the old herdsman wearing a blue cloth.

The old herdsman held the dagger, knelt down and kowtowed three steps away from Busen, "Thank you, master!" I will fight bravely for Buddha! For the master! 』

Bu Senheshi chanted the Buddha's name, then stepped forward to help the old herdsman up, held his arm, looked at his excited expression, was silent for a while, did not say any more words to encourage him, but shook his arm hard. The hand said slowly and lowly——

"Stay alive." 』

"ah? 』

The old herdsman was still in a daze, but Busen had already walked away.

……(╯︵╰)……

The sound of horns sounded across the sky above the military camp.

The Han soldiers on the military stronghold also looked towards the Western Region Allied Forces.

Menghua has put on double armor.

Black armor, red shirt.

Pure black as the base, with red silk ribbons connecting the nails.

This is the color of a big man, and it is also the color of iron and blood.

Meng Hua said to the guard behind him: "Send the order!" Play a cheering drum first! 』

The guard responded loudly, and immediately made a gesture towards the general platform at the rear. Immediately, the fierce sound of war drums suddenly resounded over the military stronghold, suppressing the horn horns, and became the master of this world!

Most of the Han military officers on the outer wall of the military stronghold have participated in many battles. They held their swords and guns with leisurely time and patrolled the surrounding subordinate soldiers. If they saw someone nervous, they would step forward or laugh and scold, or A slap on the arm, or a few words of encouragement, and the rumbling war drums also made the dull feeling that seemed to be invisibly pressing on the Han soldiers disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, and then came It's the surging blood!

The first wave of battles began quickly.

After all, even if you don't move in formation, your physical strength will decrease over time, and some people may even want to solve personal problems, etc. The kind of person who can stand still from beginning to end, and then start from Those who stand during the day and still have undiminished combat power at night will only appear in the game.

Taksa didn't even wait for the formation of the first wave of Western Region Allied Forces to be completely organized before he launched the attack. Perhaps in his view, these people were going to be used to consume the Han soldiers anyway. If they died early or late, they would all die. If they were not neatly organized, If it's neat, there's no need to think about it.

Of course, in order to kill the Han soldiers in the military camp as much as possible, Taksa did not just let the cannon fodder go, but also sent archers on both wings to cover, and there was also a group of cavalry in the rear, ready to attack at any time. .

Menghua watched the Western Region Allied Forces slowly approaching and did not even issue any orders. Instead, he gave all the autonomy to the military lord Li Si who was responsible for commanding the outer wall.

Military Marquis Li Si originally wanted to order the archers on the outer wall to shoot at the incoming Western Region Allied Forces, but after thinking about it, he just ordered the soldiers in the military camp to prepare for the rain of arrows, and did not ask the archers to shoot at the herdsmen. Instead, he ordered a few archers with good shooting skills to find opportunities to shoot the coalition officers who commanded the herdsmen.

So the archer array of the Western Region Allied Forces smoothly advanced to the bottom of the gentle slope of the military stronghold, and then began to throw arrows at the military stronghold under orders.

The soldiers of the Han army, who had already experienced battle formations, did not panic much when faced with arrows missing like rain. The swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row had raised their shields high, while the soldiers without shields squatted down and hid on the inside of the outer wall of the military stronghold, clinging to the base of the wall. The soldiers running in the military stronghold also looked for places to take shelter after the warning. For a moment, the entire military stronghold seemed to have turned into a rock in the blink of an eye, solidified and strong.

A hail of arrows roared in.

Most herdsmen in the grassland desert are good archers, but unfortunately they may not be good military archers.

Although it took a period of training and integration, the training happened to be during the rainy season. Therefore, it is impossible to say that shooting a bow on a rainy day is not called training, but can be renamed as Destruction Bow. Therefore, even if they reluctantly formed a neat queue and shot arrows at the same time, the rain of arrows flying in the air was sparse. Even when the rain of arrows fell, they could not make the shields of the Han soldiers on the wall of the army stronghold. The body swayed and moved half a step.

When the arrows fall, they have a certain amount of kinetic energy. If they are too dense and the falling force is strong enough, even if the shield will not be penetrated, the shield will be deflected and some flaws will be exposed. Naturally there will be subsequent damage.

Taksa frowned and looked at the array of archers from the Western Region Allied Forces who seemed to be working hard but had no concrete results. Even though he originally wanted these herdsmen archers to consume the strength of the Han people, but now this The situation is too ugly.

"Send the order!" Let each country produce some eagle shooters! Get in the queue! Shoot the Han soldiers! 』

Seeing the messenger go down, Taksa glanced back again, "How are the soil bags prepared?" 』

The rear of the military camp is relatively steep. Only by using earth bags to create a gentle slope can it be possible to build an offensive road. Moreover, the excavation and preparation of soil bags should not be too close to the military camp, otherwise the military camp will see it and guess Taksa's intention, and the suddenness will be lost.

"General, let me go take a look. ” the guard responded.

"Well, prepare more. It's better to have more than less!" ” Taksa ordered, “If there is any situation, report it immediately! 』

The guard responded and immediately rode back.

……?(*–-)?……

Below the military stronghold, under the cover of bows and arrows, the Western Region Allied Forces began to destroy the traps and horse resistance on the gentle slope of the outer wall of the military stronghold, and gradually began to approach the outer wall of the military stronghold.

The horn was blown again.

The archers moved to both sides to make more space, and then the Western Region Allied Forces roared, carrying seven or eight ladders, and under the cover of the shield men, rushed towards the outer wall of the military stronghold.

Li Si on the outer wall looked up at the sky and found that the arrows fired from outside had stopped. He slightly peeked out and immediately retracted and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is attacking!" Ready to fight! 』

The cannon fodder of the Western Region Alliance Army howled, ran crookedly, and rushed forward crazily.

The soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces carrying the ladders quickly received the attention of the archers during the march. It is impossible for these ladder-resistant people to say that they can run an S shape one moment and a B shape the next second. Their overall direction and speed of travel are basically fixed. Even if there are some shield hands around them to protect them, It still couldn't be said to be completely covered, and injuries were inevitable. From time to time, someone would be shot and then fall over with a wail.

It's just that there are many soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces in the surrounding area. When one falls, a second one will immediately take his place, just like small stones thrown into a pond, only causing some ripples.

Li Si also took a bow, put it on the arrow, gently pulled it halfway, and then placed it at the crenellation of the military stronghold, observing the Western Region Allied Forces under the military stronghold, looking for important targets, and then he saw Among the Western Region Allied Forces surging like a tide, there was a character who seemed to be a squad leader. He was raising his arms and shouting, seeming to encourage and guide the surrounding Western Region Allied Forces soldiers.

"It's you..." Li Si slightly leaned out half of his body, opened the bow with force, and aimed at the guy waving his arm with an obvious blue strip of cloth on his arm.

The arrow missed and roared out.

In order to ensure a hit, Li Si did not aim at the head and throat, but at the upper body.

The arrows made by standard processes represent the current production technology of the Han Dynasty. Tough and uniform arrow shafts bring less error in arrow weight loss, and the tail feathers of chickens, ducks, and poultry also make the bows and arrows fly more smoothly. All these technologies allow Han archers to ensure that when shooting, You don’t need to compete with luck every time.

"puff! 』

The sharp arrow miss can always produce 120% damage when dealing with unarmored targets.

Seeing the small leader of the Western Region Alliance Army with a blue cloth wrapped around his arm fall down, a smile appeared on Li Si's face. He felt that below the military stronghold, in the corner of his field of vision, someone seemed to be raising a bow and aiming. Got him!

Li Si's whole body suddenly stood up with chills, and he quickly retreated.

A black shadow instantly shot up from below the military stronghold, shooting Li Si down!

"Marquis of the Army!" 』

The surrounding Han soldiers were shocked.

Li Si felt his face was burning, and it hurt so much that he wanted to grin, but when his mouth moved, it hurt even more. When he reached out and touched it, his hands were covered with blood. A soldier beside him helped Li Si take off his helmet, and saw that an arrow had penetrated deeply into the helmet, and even pushed out a sharp tip.

It turned out that the arrow shot from below missed, scratched Li Si's chin and cheek, cut his ear, and then pierced directly into the helmet. Maybe Li Si had shrunk his head a little slower, or maybe the man had shot harder. Looking a little further in, Li Si is probably already a dead person at the moment.

"Doctor!" Physician! ” The soldiers beside Li Si shouted, “Hurry up and bandage the military lord!” 』

Li Si tried to move his face, and grinned in pain, "No need to scream!" Can't die! 』

Li Si pulled out the arrow from his helmet, looked at it, gritted his teeth and said, "Just pour some styptic powder for me. No need to bandage!" How can I give orders when it's wrapped up? Go and tell everyone that there are eagle shooters among the thieves in the Western Regions! Be careful! 』

Eagle shooters are not a special unit, but just an honorific title for those with better shooting skills among the nomads, just like warriors. Relatively speaking, these eagle shooters have relatively strong bows and arrows, which are powerful and have a long range. They are stronger than ordinary barbarian archers. This time, he mingled with the ranks of the Western Region Allied Forces and launched a surprise attack on the Han soldiers on the military stronghold. He indeed achieved a lot of success. In addition to wounding Li Si, he also shot down several other Han soldiers.

Li Si gritted his teeth in pain, "Archer!" Find me fifty archers! 』

Not being a gentleman when you have a grudge is not a gentleman. This is what all gentlemen are like. What's more, Li Si feels that he is not a gentleman, so he must take revenge on the spot, otherwise he will not be able to swallow this bad breath!

He would not let his archers compete with the opponent's eagle shooters, because it was obvious that if ordinary archers faced off against elite eagle shooters, his own archers would naturally suffer.

Since one-on-one combat is not possible, then fight in groups.

The eagle shooter below the military stronghold was still half-bent, hiding among the surrounding Western Region coalition forces. Shooting from below, although it is said that as long as it can hit, it will basically go towards the vital part of the head. However, due to the shooting boundary, these eagle shooters must get closer, otherwise they will not be able to shoot, but again They couldn't get too close to the village wall, so in fact, these eagle shooters unknowingly chose a distance from the military village, which was generally not far apart, on a parallel line.

This gave Li Si a chance to fight back.

When he discovered an eagle shooter, he quickly discovered other eagle shooters...

Then Li Si felt that fifty archers were too few, so he called in thirty archers and formed a small array.

"The elevation is two and a half fingers!" One shoulder to the right! Li Si stared at the gentle slope outside the military stronghold through the gap, "Test firing!" 』

The archer behind Li Si raised his bow to the sky and threw an arrow as a sign.

An arrow with a white tail flew across the sky, and then plunged down.

The eagle shooters in the Western Region Allied Forces did not realize what the missing arrow meant. They were still working hard to find valuable targets, or shot through the gaps in the shields of the Han soldiers who were holding push rods against the ladders. of……

Li Si snorted. Although he sprinkled styptic powder on his face, it only reduced the blood flow, and when he talked and moved, the wound was still involved, causing him endless pain. "Hiss... very good, everyone." All of them! The elevation is two and a half fingers! One shoulder to the right! Three rounds of rapid fire! preparation! shoot! 』

Almost at the same time, dozens of arrows shot up in the sky.

A small piece of black cloud roared down from the sky, instantly shooting down a group of Western Region coalition forces.

"The elevation remains unchanged, three fingers to the right!" Three more rounds! preparation! shoot! 』

Following Li Si's order, the Han army's archers seemed to have eyes, flying continuously from the military stronghold, sweeping across from right to left, like a grate, on the gentle slope in front of the general's stronghold. The area where the eagle shooter was hiding was cleared sideways!

Some of these eagle shooters on the gentle slope of the military village were unprepared and were suddenly hit by arrows tilted down from their heads. Some were more alert and ran back immediately when the situation was bad. Of course, there were also some who seemed to be very capable of fighting. With experience, when he saw that the arrow had reached the top of his head and he had no time to run, he immediately grabbed the corpse on the ground and pushed it against his head and face. Although he could not completely avoid the damage, at least he avoided his own vital points...

In the area where the arrows were missing, the blood of the dead and injured Western Region Allied Forces flowed freely, and the living ones fled back with their livers and gallbladders broken!

After such a round of shooting, Li Si was surprised to find that his move, which was just to avenge one arrow, actually had additional effects!

He unintentionally used this counterattack to form a sparse isolation zone, interrupting the forward attack sequence of the Western Region Allied Forces, making it impossible for the subsequent Western Region Allied Forces to connect in a short period of time!

Covering the battlefield with missing arrows was not Li Si's first tactic. But nowadays, it is rare to see a strategy that covers an area with a small number of arrows and cuts off the opponent's follow-up like scissors.

In other words, in the past, most of the coverage shots, even if there was movement, were vertical and extended shots. Now Li Si unintentionally made the Han army's coverage shots move horizontally. The key is that the effect is very good!

Thinking from another angle, sometimes it is very simple, just in a change of thought, but sometimes it is very difficult, and no one can think of it after decades or hundreds of years.

Seeing the unexpected changes on the battlefield, Li Si immediately reacted, pointed at the small group of Western Region Allied Forces who had already climbed up the ladder, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Knock down the ladder! Kill them! 』

The drums of war were thundering, and the morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow. They also shouted along with Li Si, and then almost in the blink of an eye, they overturned the ladder and killed the Western Region Allied Forces below the military camp who had lost follow-up. This caused the coalition soldiers to retreat in embarrassment.

The first wave of offensive by the Western Region Allied Forces had just begun, and was interrupted unexpectedly.

"Ha, this method is very good. Write it down, write it down... turn it in to the martial arts hall after the war!" " Meng Hua, who was standing on the high platform of the inner wall and watching the changes in the battle situation, couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, " Send thirty more archers to the outer wall! I want to see what the Western Region Allied Forces will do? ! 』
