Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3066: A brilliant leader, a stubborn fighter

Liang Qi shrank his head and hunched his back, like an insect with its limbs shrunk. He very much hoped that at this moment, he would be like an insect, without emotions and therefore without guilt.

Liang Qi never thought that one day he would become the "leading party".

Of course, these three words are appellation only for later generations, but in the current Han Dynasty, in the mouths of Xiahou Dun and others, they are "Junjie", "Those who understand current affairs are called Junjie".

As Liang Qi, who was born and raised in Shexian County and has been going back and forth to Fukouxing almost all his life, his familiarity with this area is naturally much better than that of the average person. He came with Xiahou Dun and exchanged the death of others for his life.

That's right, Junjie.

In other words, elites.

This is the core point supporting Liang Qi's words and deeds.

In other words, Liang Qi felt that he was a hero and an elite. No matter what others think, or whether the facts are true, he believes that he should be superior to others, different from ordinary people, and a unique elite. Therefore, what he does is inconsistent with the ethics of ordinary people. The morals are different and there is nothing wrong with them.

What ordinary people understand as betrayal, for Liang Qi, is not called betrayal, but preservation. Preserve yourself as a useful person, preserve the happiness of your family, and preserve your current status from being degraded. What's wrong with this...?

Yes, that’s right!

Liang Qi straightened his waist slightly, feeling that his limbs could stretch a little and no longer needed to be so stiff.

He is right!

This world is not originally for ordinary people, let alone barbarians like Yan Zhi and Yan Rou, well, barbaric Han people, so even if they die, it should be nothing...

Maybe?

On the mountain road, Yan Rou's shouts were like thunder.

Xiahou Dun glanced at Liang Qi slightly, then turned his eyes back, looking at Yan Rou who was fighting bravely in the distance, "Can such a hero be surrendered by Liang Junhou?" 』

Liang Qi's face twitched stiffly, as if he wanted to smile, but it was a pity that smiling was uglier than crying, "General...general, people like this...may not be easy to persuade to surrender..."

"They don't have thunder anymore..." Xiahou Dun stroked his beard, "We are in a desperate situation again, unable to advance or retreat. Why don't we surrender?" 』

Liang Qi lowered his head.

He didn't know how to answer.

Are some people different? Are some people just one-minded? Are some people just ignorant of current affairs?

There may be thousands of reasons, but Liang Qi knew in his heart that Xiahou Dun looked at Yan Rou and others with longing, just like a glutton seeing delicious food, a pervert seeing a beauty, and when looking at Liang Qi , but there is no such desire, but indifference, as if watching...

a dog.

A wild dog that I didn’t know was raised by someone before, but now it’s eating and drinking in my own yard.

But Liang Qi still had to work hard to raise his buttocks, expose his anus, wag his tail, and put on a humble and sincere smile on his face, no matter how stiff the smile was, for the three melons and two dates thrown by Xiahou Dun.

If it were in the desert, Xiahou Dun wouldn't be able to stop Yan Rou at all. However, in the valley, although it is wider than the narrow mountain road, it is also conducive to Xiahou Dun's heavy infantry to form a thick line and block Yan Rou and others at the mountain pass.

Logically speaking, since Yan Rou can't recharge now, she should dismount and accept surrender.

However, Yan Rou and others continued to attack hard, and even the men and horses directly ran into Xiahou Dun's heavy infantry blocking the road, and then crashed out and forced a path of blood. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little frightened, even with his face. There aren't many extra expressions on it.

The last time such a bloody battle...

When was it?

Speaking of which, Xiahou Dun was not a fierce man who could swallow his eyeballs alive as Mr. Luo described him. Historically, he was indeed shot in the eye by a stray arrow, but he did not actually pull it out and eat it alive on the spot. Mr. Luo probably has never seen human anatomy and physiology. Although the eyes are small, there are many muscles and nerves connected to them. It may be possible to cut them off and pull them out directly... This thing is not a carrot.

In fact, Xiahou Dun was not a fierce general who charged forward. Most of the time, he sat in the rear and was even caught by the hijackers who had sneaked into the tent. Even Mr. Luo couldn't give Xiahou Dun any extra opportunities to show off, so most future generations can only remember that he swallowed his eyeballs. As for winning a battle, he really can't make it up, because there really wasn't any.

Xiahou Dun was a rare talent who could manage civil affairs in the rear. Almost every time Cao Cao sent out an army, Xiahou Dun would sit in the rear to supervise the army and govern the place. Xiahou Dun was not a strong general who could kill many people on the battlefield and mow the grass unparalleled, but he was indeed a political immortal, the Optimus Prime of the Xiahou family, and Cao Cao's most loyal supporter.

That's right... Xiahou Dun remembered that the most brutal bloody battle between him and Cao Cao was the time when Cao Cao tried to pursue Dong Zhuo but was ambushed instead.

That time, Xiahou Dun realized that he was not like Cao Ren and Cao Hong. Even though he was covered in blood, he could still fight endlessly. He also realized that although they were also soldiers, the soldiers Cao Cao recruited by Xiahou Dun at that time were not the same as the Xiliang soldiers. Same.

And now, those previous differences seem to overlap with the current situation again...

The combat power shown by Yan Rou and others had already amazed Xiahou Dun, and he had raised the standard lowered by Liang Qi. However, Xiahou Dun did not expect that Yan Rou's actions would be so great when he was already in desperate situation. People still have such high morale and fighting spirit!

If there was no such opponent in Shandong, Xiahou Dun would not even need to make such an array. He only needed to put the flag under the city, and the people on the top of the city rolled down in a hurry and bowed their heads in worship. No matter how many thousands of defenders there are in the city, tens of thousands of civilians, or how many military equipment there are, rolling stones, hammering trees, etc., it is not ambiguous at all to say surrender is surrender.

Just like Shexian County.

It turns out that not all places are Shexian County...

While Xiahou Dun's thoughts were still tumbling, new changes occurred on the front line.

Chickens will fly when they are in a hurry, dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, if people are in a hurry...

Human beings have animal nature. When forced into a desperate situation, the instinct of survival will force people to break through their previous limitations and use more methods.

Yan Rou and others were forced into a desperate situation.

If you rush, you can't rush out, if you hit, you can't knock it away.

The cavalry caught in close combat, even if they were fully armored, could not withstand the swords and spears coming from all directions, and soon perished in the battle together with their horses.

what to do?

After killing or injuring twenty or thirty people, Yan Rou discovered that there was something wrong with his tactics.

The thick heavy infantry was like a stone wall, congested at the entrance of the valley, and also cut off Yan Rou and others' way of life!

Yan Rou looked back and saw shouts coming from the mouth of the valley on the other side. Apparently, she failed to rush out and was still in a stalemate...

Stalemate is equal to death!

Obviously, the heavy infantry will gradually compress the maneuvering space of Yan Rou and others. When Yan Rou and others cannot rush up and the war horses cannot accelerate, it will be the end of Yan Rou and others.

If Yan Rou had some hope before, thinking that she could rush out with vigor, then this glimmer of hope has been almost wiped out now, and what is left may be a fight to the death!

Is there any other way?

Yan Rou turned her head and looked around.

They have used up the grenades they carry. This kind of sharp weapon that can disrupt the opponent's array cannot be regenerated indefinitely over time. The total number of grenades originally distributed in Taiyuan County was not large, and they were not the latest generation, but old products. Perhaps Cao Jun also discovered this, so he gathered and advanced unscrupulously.

There are stone walls on both sides.

The walls of Taihang Mountain are very distinctive. In many places, they go straight up and down, just like steps. Maybe a giant can easily cross them one step at a time, but for Yan Rou and others, it is really impossible...

etc.

"Take a ladder!" Climb up! Yan Rou suddenly shouted loudly, pointing to the stone wall on the side and said, "Take a ladder here and go up!" 』

"Captain!" Are you crazy? 』

"What's the use of going up there?" ! There are two or three floors above! 』

"Go out along the stone wall, there is no road at the other end!" 』

"People are getting up, but horses can't get up either!" 』

Obviously, before Yan Rou pointed at the stone wall, many people had already thought about this path.

"Who said you want to escape from here? ! Yan Rou shouted, "Go up with your bow and arrows!" Armor-piercing arrow! Cum the fuck out on top! 』

"..."

"Oh oh oh..."

"Hurry up!" Old Shitou, your archery skills are good! Climb up! quick! 』

After a brief silence, everyone suddenly understood. They shouted in unison, rushed under the stone wall, and started stacking ladders.

Pyramid-like human ladders were stacked up on the stone wall. A dozen soldiers with good archery skills carried their bows and arrows behind their backs, grabbing the clothes and armor of the ladders and trampling on the heads, backs, shoulders and arms of their comrades. , climb up!

What was once an insurmountable stone wall was originally a place that was absolutely difficult for a person to climb. Now, using a human ladder, one can climb up.

The power of one person is small and insignificant, but a group of people can change some things and solve some difficulties as long as they work together.

Since ancient times, has China settled in the Central Plains because of the large amounts of farmland in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia?

You must know that during the Qin Dynasty, the reason why Hangu Pass became Hangu Pass was because the Choosang Plateau was covered with dense forests!

In the so-called Central Plains of China, did people already take off their clothes and lie down in ancient times, waiting for people to leave before they could directly farm?

No, in ancient times, the Central Plains were all forests! It's a swamp! It's a wild land!

There are tigers, elephants, and ancient giant crocodiles!

The farmland in the Central Plains was cultivated by a group of people through slash-and-burn cultivation!

So how can we say that the environment restricts the development of Chinese people?

As long as someone thinks and does it, then even a stone wall or a dense forest can find a new road. But if no one thinks or does it, then even if there are many roads or a flat landscape, it will be the same. It's a desperate situation!

Change the angle, it’s a new way!

If you change the way, you can get out of the world!

If the tree is moved, it will die, but if the person is moved, it will live!

Are the shackles on the Chinese people's feet put on by others, or are they tied on by oneself?

Originally in the valley, the terrain was low. Even if Yan Rou and others wanted to use bows and arrows, they could not shoot. They were either blocked by their own people or by the heavy shield infantry in the front row. However, after climbing up the stone wall, they were condescending. , and the vision suddenly broadened!

Yan Rou and others are mostly in the northern part of the desert, so most people like to use bows and arrows instead of crossbows. In the current environment, the advantages of bows and arrows are unreservedly unleashed.

rapid fire!

The heavy arrow is like a single-headed large bullet at close range!

Strong bow!

Heavy arrow!

Armor-piercing sharp three-edged arrow!

More than ten excellent archers fired unscrupulously at Cao Jun's infantry who were crowded at the mouth of the valley!

In one minute, most trained soldiers can shoot twenty arrows, and excellent archers can shoot more than thirty arrows.

Of course, in most cases, such continuous rapid fire will cause the shooter's arm to be sore and numb for a period of time, but within a short period of time, such rapid fire will make every shooter feel like he is on a stone wall. , holding a shotgun and spraying angrily at Cao Jun!

Arrows are flying all over the sky!

These hussars standard armor-piercing arrows with extremely long arrowheads, carrying the fierce wind, rushed straight towards the heavily armored infantry of Cao Jun's line!

The shield bearer of Cao Jun at the forefront looked up at the arrows flying overhead, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to scream a warning, while the infantry of Cao Jun behind the shield bearer of Cao Jun, Still trying to raise the spear high to face the opponent who may come.

The arrows splashed down with a shrill roar!

In the blink of an eye, these Cao Junjia soldiers, who lost the cover of their thick shields, let out almost a series of screams, like harvested Zhuang He, falling in pieces under the swing of the death sickle!

"It's now! Yan Rou shouted loudly, waving her spear, "Charge out!" 』

The rest of the soldiers also knew that the most critical moment had come, so they all shouted, followed Yan Rou, and rushed forward!

The Cao army's infantry array was being shot to pieces by this sudden round of armor-piercing heavy arrows. They had just escaped from the death roar of the arrows, and when they looked up suddenly, they saw Yan Rou and others shooting them again. The sharp blade was delivered to them, and they had to be kindly sent to the hell gate!

The white one is the sharp edge. Even though it goes in and out of different bodies, it remains strong. This ability that makes countless men obsessed is fully displayed at this moment.

The red thing is blood, and what spurts out is not only life, but also hope. The living leave with hope, and the dead fall into darkness forever.

Yan Rou's sudden change in tactics was not only too late for Cao's soldiers to respond, but also Xiahou Dun, who was watching the battle from a distance, could not help but stiffen for a moment. He raised his arms in the air and stopped there. He could not even give orders for a moment. Knowing what to say, he finally made a sound after a while, "Block it... block it quickly!" 』

However, mobilizing soldiers on the battlefield cannot be done with just a few clicks and drags. From Xiahou Dun issuing the order, to the herald waving the flag and blowing the trumpet desperately, to the recipient receiving the message, and then conveying it to the soldiers at the lower level. Among them, a short pause and delay in any link will cause the overall tactical changes to be slow and ineffective.

Either intentionally or unintentionally, or she exploded when she was forced into a desperate situation, Yan Rou's soldiers and horses dealt the highest damage at this moment!

Rapid fire of heavy arrows at close range, followed by a charge to break the formation!

These two attacks most directly led to the massive attrition of Cao's army, leaving the front empty in a short period of time and unable to replace the troops!

Without the support of the follow-up soldiers, because they were shot down continuously, the array appeared loose and unbalanced. The large shield defense line could not withstand the fierce impact of Yan Rou and others!

The sound of collision and the cry of killing suddenly resounded throughout the valley!

Yan Rou ran into Cao's army first, causing a bloody storm!

Behind Yan Rou, the soldiers who were able to mount their horses followed closely behind Yan Rou and advanced together. Those who fell off their horses, as long as they could still walk, regardless of whether they were injured or not, were holding their swords and guns tightly. Even if you are limping, you are still moving forward!

Cao's army's line finally loosened up. The huge casualties in a short period of time made even the soldiers of Cao's army who survived couldn't help but feel fear. Their hands and feet were weak, and they let out bursts of panic. Some soldiers even abandoned others. , deviated from his original position!

Perhaps when everyone was gathered together, these soldiers of Cao's army would have the courage to face death, but when they found that everyone around them was dead and they were the only ones left, the original courage was gone and the sudden fear Directly and completely submerge their reason, all they have left is their instinctive escape!

Cao's army's rigid system could not adapt to the rapid changes on the battlefield.

Once the grassroots officers die, the nodes of the front immediately collapse...

The main means of attack for Hu Qi in the desert of the Han Dynasty, as well as light cavalry such as Youzhou Baima Yicong, was mounted shooting. This kind of mounted shooting is basically projectile, which is a longer-distance shooting. It mainly harasses and interrupts, disrupts the opponent's rhythm, and pulls the enemy's formation. It will cause relatively large damage to unarmored units, and it will cause relatively large damage to overturned units. The lethality of armored soldiers will be significantly reduced.

Because the lethality of arrows will naturally decrease after flying for a certain distance, and the tactics used by Yan Rou are like the archers of later generations who use face-mounted output. Heavy arrows in close combat can penetrate armor!

The heavily armored horse archers approach and fire rapidly.

This tactic is inherently designed to restrain the infantry front...

Historically, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners soldiers took this method of warfare to its extreme. As long as the Ming army is not careful, a dozen Eight Banners elite soldiers can shoot hundreds of heavy arrows at a key node on a certain front in a short time, directly destroying a front. When a large number of elite soldiers in the front row of the infantry line died instantly, and subsequent troops could not replace them, they could only watch helplessly as the subsequent cavalry rushed in, completely messing up the line.

Just like the situation right now.

Xiahou Dun still had soldiers in his hands, and they were more numerous than Yan Rou and others, but the rigid tactical arrangements and the slow transmission of military flags and orders made all Cao's soldiers shocked when Yan Rou rushed out of the intercepting line at the mouth of the valley. call!

But they just screamed in surprise, even if they saw Yan Rou and others passing by, no one came forward, because Cao Jun's soldiers and others had not waited for Xiahou Dun's order...

When Xiahou Dun's order was conveyed and the subsequent Cao army came up, they could only cut off the tails of Yan Rou and others. However, the main body of Yan Rou and others had already carved a bloody path and rushed out of the valley and upwards. Go in the direction of the party.

"..." Xiahou Dun looked at the bloodstains and corpses at the entrance of the valley and remained silent.

The duck was plucked and put into a pot, and it was still able to fly!

Although he indeed killed and wounded many of Yan Rou's soldiers and successfully defeated Yan Rou's army, Xiahou Dun did not feel that there was anything to be happy about, because the losses on Cao's army far exceeded Yan Rou's. one party.

"Someone is coming!" Xiahou Dun ordered, "Keep all the thieves' heads in a box!" 』

Xiahou Dun turned to look at Liang Qi, "Junhou Liang...you can take your head to Jinyang...do you know how to say this?" 』

Liang Qi had a shy face and bent over, "Young, I'm stupid... but... please give me some advice from the general..."

Xiahou Dun turned around and walked away, leaving two words behind, as if greeting a dog, "Come here..."
