Chapter 282 The tiger goes to the wolf

Zhang Dewei was defeated and Wang Chong led his troops to chase him. After a while, a few moments of escape suddenly broke out from the sky. Under the flames, a large green wolf flag was floating first, and a group of soldiers and horses were fine. The iron armored and helmets in front were all tall and big. One side was carrying a four-foot square iron shield and the other holding an eight-foot three-edged spear. On the way ahead, an iron wall was erected and a thorn forest was formed.

Behind this iron walled thorn forest, many people were shaking their heads. Behind were countless tall men with the same iron helmets and armor, but they were holding hands with two-edged swords, and there were countless groups of card swords and shields standing on one side on both sides. Behind were many crossbowmen looking for bows.

Zhang Dewei screamed in pain. Although there seemed to be only seven or eight hundred people on the opposite side, just looking at the formation and the momentum and equipment of the soldiers, he knew that this must be an elite soldier.

At this time, there were interceptions before and pursuers behind. Although they knew that the opponent was an iron wall, they could only rush up. Zhang Dewei pointed forward with a big iron spear and shouted: "Go ahead but not retreat, fight out!"

The eight hundred soldiers and horses of the Qinglang Camp were intercepted in front. Except for the cavalry, all the rest were drawn and followed Li Jing, and the rest were all here. As early as before the war, the staff officer Li Liang had already made a suggestion to ambush the most elite Qinglang Camp several miles east of the city to intercept Zhang Dewei. When Li Liang proposed this arrangement, Wang Chong was still full of suspicion. Zhang Dewei's monk army had 30,000 troops. Even if more than 2,000 were killed in battle and divided into 5,000 troops to surround Huang Huzi and others, and then 3,000 soldiers had already been bribed, the number was still 20,000.

The total number of people Li Jing gave him was only 6,000, and there were 5,000 of them. If the elite Qinglang Camp was transferred away, how could they fight Zhang Dewei? You should know that although they had inner support and Feihuo, the other party could completely retreat into the city.

However, now seeing the Qinglang Camp stopping Zhang Dewei, who was fleeing, Wang Chong couldn't help but admire the staff officer Li Liang, who looked like a private school teacher. He really predicted the enemy's initiative and was as good as a god.

Zhang Dewei and his defeated soldiers were originally horse thieves. Seeing that they were in desperate situation, they all became crazy and rushed to the Qinglang Camp's position.

"Shoot the arrow!" Although Liu Shouqian, the deputy general of the Qinglang Camp, was a cavalry general, this time he stayed in the Qinglang Camp to command the ambush. When he saw the enemy rushing towards him, he immediately shouted.

Suddenly, eight hundred green wolf soldiers, whether it was a surprise, a jumping soldier, or even a Modao soldiers, all pulled their hands away, and put the arrows that had been inserted on the ground, and shot them at the enemy.

After shooting an arrow, regardless of the outcome, all the green wolf soldiers adhered to the regulations during training, just kept their bows tightly and shot arrows quickly.

All soldiers of Shamen Town Army are equipped with longbows. Moreover, longbows are a necessary training subject for all military groups. Basically, the longbow assessment standard for Shamen Town soldiers is to accurately aim twelve arrows and fifteen arrows per minute, and many particularly outstanding ones can even reach twenty arrows per minute. For example, those with excellent archery skills such as Li Jing and Li Yuan can basically reach three seconds and one arrow.

During an archery assessment, Li Jing competed on the spot with a soldier. He fired five arrows in a row, and the soldier had just shot one arrow.

At a distance of 120 steps, it takes about one minute to charge light infantry in an array, while infringing armor takes about one and a half minutes, and cavalry even only takes fifteen seconds. Slow and precise shooting is obviously meaningless against such moving targets. The key is the density of the launch, and one more arrow will make you more hope of life and victory.

Another factor in increasing the strike density is to increase the number of people. In the hands of horse thieves, longbows are just a single weapon that only a few people can use well. In the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, bows and arrows are equipped with 12% of the equipment rate, and everyone is equipped with bows. During combat, the Tang army usually gathers thousands of longbowers and shoots volleys from the flanks of the infantry fronts and the gaps between the arrays. One thousand longbowers fire at the same time, and tens of thousands of arrows can be shot out in one minute, forming an unscrupulous storm of feather arrows.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty is no longer there. Because the late Tang Dynasty became a semi-separatist situation in the late Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were all vassal states to raise their own troops, so the equipment was reduced a lot, and fewer vassal states would have vassal states to be equipped with bows. But Shamen Town is different. Shamen Town not only has the entire army equipped with armor, but also the entire army equipped with bows.

Facing the enemy who was charging, the Qinglang Camp was not panicked, but the entire camp was fired in an orderly manner, with eight hundred longbows. In just about one minute when the enemy entered the range and rushed to the front of the formation, basically everyone shot more than ten arrows, and in a short time of eight hundred people, tens of thousands of arrows were shot out at once. Such dense arrows formed a metal storm of death within a hundred steps, and countless Beisha troops rushing in front continued to fall.

"Rise the shield!" Within twenty steps of the enemy, Liu Shouqian ordered the surprise soldiers and the sword and shield soldiers to stop shooting and instead raise the shield to welcome the impact.

"Kill!" The 200 surprise soldiers from the second team of the surprise soldiers shouted loudly. Under the guidance of the red gun flags of the head of the head of the capital, the team leader, the squad leader, and the commander of the squad, they raised their shields and held guns. The crossbow soldiers behind also put down their bows and began to lift the crossbow machine. The crossbow machine has stronger power, longer range, more effort, and easier to strike accurately. The only shortcoming is that the rate of fire is slow, and it often takes two or three arrows to shoot a crossbow. But for the archers, after shooting more than a dozen arrows in a row, it also consumes a lot of strength. At this time, changing to the crossbow machine can not only restore its strength, but also be more suitable for precise aiming and shooting within a short distance.

The Beisha soldiers continued to charge with a round shield. More than a thousand cavalry were rushing in front. These light cavalry were regarded as heavy cavalry by Zhang Dewei at this time. Under normal circumstances, when he saw more than a thousand cavalry rushing forward, the hundreds of soldiers and horses on the other side must have been frightened. But what surprised him was that the other party not only did not retreat, but instead was nailed tightly on the spot. A roar of a mighty mountain and river sounded at any time. After the iron wall, countless spear heads suddenly stabbed out.

The sharp spear's edges flashed with a faint cold light, like the staring of the god of death.

Behind the shield formation of the Green Wolf soldiers, the first row of surprise soldiers knelt on one knee and half squatted on the ground. The tail end of the eight-foot-triangled spear in his hand was inserted into the ground, and the spear pointed obliquely forward. The spears of each second row of surprise soldiers were placed on the shoulders of the first row, and then the third row. This is the standard spear formation that uses steps to gale.

The horse's hooves rumbled, and the war horses stepped on countless dirt and dust flying. Looking at the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the Green Wolf Camp were not afraid. They just held the spear stick even tighter.

It was like a wave hitting a reef. The rushing iron stream suddenly hit the shield formation gun forest. The war horse rushing in the front was directly stabbed by a spear, and blood flowed out. Before death, it hit the shield formation with huge inertia. The surprise soldiers behind them leaned sideways, held their shoulders hard against the four-foot-high iron shield, and nailed them to the ground firmly.

The shield hands in the first row successfully blocked the first wave of shock. Under the cover of the shield hands in the front row and the crossbowmen behind, the surprise soldiers constantly stabbed the spear in their hands and retracted them.

One by one, the Beisha soldiers fell down in front of the rock-stubborn shield gun forest, building up a mountain of corpses, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Shock, impact, impact.

Hold on, hold on, hold on again.

In just a quarter of an hour, although the waves were stormy, the eight hundred soldiers of the Qinglang Camp did not take a step back at all, and countless Beisha troops fell down in front of them. However, they still could not break through this level.

Wang Chong led his army to chase after this time and came from behind to cover up. The Beisha Army could not rush forward, but was killed by pursuers from behind. He was immediately defeated and the troops fled in scattered. When many Beisha City escaped, they also brought many gold, silver, jewelry, and money that they stolen when they attacked Qingni City.

At this time, he was unable to escape, so Zhang Dewei ordered all the money, silk, gold and silver to be abandoned. The Shamen Town Army was unmoved and only cared for chasing. However, when the eight soldiers and horses of Dengzhou were moved, they were all moved. They did not care about chasing deserters, but instead fought for money and looting property, allowing the Beisha Army to flee everywhere. Wang Chong saw that only his own troops were left to pursue him, and he was afraid of losing his troops. After a while, he resented his troops. Zhang Dewei was like a frightened bird, leading the defeated army to dare not go back, and rushed back to Beisha City, and even the five thousand subordinates who were still besieging Chishan Valley were not cared about.

Wang Chong returned to the army with great victory. Li Juren was very grateful to the Shamen Town Army for helping, so he invited Wang Chong to return to Qingni City with the eight tribes of Dengzhou and the three foreign troops. Li Juren only saw that Wang Chong did not see Li Jing, and hurriedly asked: "I wonder where my uncle is?"

Wang Chong said: "The general is leading his army to rescue the two young masters of Juyi Juli, and he will be victorious and triumphant at dawn."

Li Juren immediately wanted to lead his army to reinforce, and Li Meng hurriedly advised: "Young master, no, although we defeated Zhang Dewei now, our Qingni City is in chaos. At this time, we should trust General Li Jing's arrangements. We should still send troops to sweep away the enemy's defeated remnants, recall the scattered people and restore order."

Wang Chong also said, "Mr. Li said nothing badly. Although he defeated Zhang Dewei at the moment, he was only defeated and not annihilated. The Beisha Army may make a comeback at any time. The Yanei had previously told me that if he defeated the Beisha Army, then I would let me lead the headquarters to stay in Qingnicheng Association for the time being and defend. As for the two young masters, Juyi and Juli, please don't worry. If the Yanei personally takes action, he will definitely be fine."

After hearing this, Li Shouren calmed down and stopped sending troops. He immediately ordered the boss to take charge of Li Meng's banquet and the generals and schoolmen of the Qinglang Camp and the eight divisions of Dengzhou, and the soldiers also rewarded them. During the banquet, Wang Chong whispered to Li Liang privately: "Why don't you send troops to reinforce the yamen, but you want to stay here instead?"

Li Liang chuckled and said softly: "This is actually the lord who has decided the plan first. Before sending troops, the lord thought that Qingni City was difficult to protect this time, so our goal was to support Qingnipu people back to Daxie Fort. But now the situation has changed, and things are more smooth than what we planned. He successfully defeated Beisha City, and if nothing unexpected happens, the reinforcements from Duli Town are likely to be defeated. In this way, the situation has changed greatly. Therefore, the lord thought that we can protect Qingnipu. However, Li Lingfu is dead, Qingnipu is now wiped out and it is difficult to support himself. The lord's idea is that we will send troops to Qingnipu in the future. This will not only promote the power of our army and shock the enemy Duli Town, which is the great enemy. Moreover, over time, Qingnipu may become the lord's belong."

Hearing Li Liang's explanation, Wang Chong suddenly understood what his last sentence meant. Even if Qingnipu was rescued this time, it would be difficult for them to support without military troops. Instead of giving this piece of fat to Duli Town and Beisha City to chew, it would be better to find a way to swallow it yourself.

Qingnipu has the largest port in Liaodong, and as long as Shamen Town has Qingnipu, it is equivalent to opening a door at the southern end of Liaodong. With such a wedge wedge into the southern part of Liaoning, it will be much easier to deal with Duli Town in the future. It turns out that the unfavorable situation of Li Lingfu being reversed because of his defeat and death, he can immediately turn it over again.

However, is this a matter of seizing people's foundation taking advantage of others' danger?

Wang Chong thought about it and finally told himself that even if Shamen Town did not take Qingnipu, Qingnipu would not be able to escape the fate of destruction. Either they were destroyed in Duli Town, they would definitely be destroyed in Beisha City. It would be better to take Shamen Town, and at least they could guarantee that they could treat the Li family well.

Li Liang took a sip of the wine and said to him with a smile: "I figured it out? Today, the strong will survive the strong and the emperor will lose his power, and it will be difficult to command the world. There is also difficulty in peace among the towns. The lord is no longer a small town. He has such a big foundation. If he does not strive to improve, it will only make others vacant. You and I are both subordinates of the lord, so naturally I hope the lord can have greater development. Do you think so?"

"Greater development?" Wang Chong was a little surprised, then thoughtful.

However, Duli Town set up a plan to defeat Li Lingfu, not only killing Li Lingfu, who had been bothering them for many years, but also successfully annihilated 40,000 coalition forces. After this battle, the unfavorable situation of the destruction of the joint fleet by joining forces with Feng Zhang to send troops to Shamen Town last time was reversed and turned around. However, although Li Lingfu was killed and Li Lingfu's coalition forces were annihilated, what made the families and Wang Pu in Duli Town a little regretful was that although this also destroyed more than a thousand people under Li Jing's command, it did not really hurt Li Jing at all.

When Li Jing still raised an army after Li Lingfu's entire army was wiped out, it really made the people of Duli Town frightened. What was angry was that Li Jing took the money, but now he still raised his army. Of course, it was because Li Jing had never been defeated, and he always won the more with less, which made them worry. Especially in this battle, although Li Lingfu completely destroyed Li Lingfu, Duli Town suffered a lot of casualties. In the end, more than 6,000 people were killed in Duli Town, and the injured ones lost almost seven or eight thousand people, which was also a huge blow to Duli Town.

However, after receiving a letter of help from Beisha City, Wang Pu still ignored the opposition of many family representatives and finally convinced most of the representatives to agree to his proposal to send troops. He sent only three thousand cavalrymen to quickly rush to Qingni City to deal with Li Jing with Zhang Dewei.
