Chapter 35 Battle
The people on Qingcang's side only heard a burst of gunfire and didn't know what was going on. If they knew that the enemy was dying one by one, what would it be like.
Zheng Hong has experienced many battles, and he made a quick decision and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and march!"
In ancient times, in order to facilitate command, there was a saying that in order to advance by beating drums and sing gold to withdraw troops.
The drums in the rear were thunderous, and the soldiers in the front rushed forward in an orderly manner when they heard the drums. In this case, they chose to attack strongly and tried to win by quantity.
Dozens of people fell down under Qing Cang's guns. His palms were numb, but he still pulled the trigger. The closer the distance, the greater the damage of the bullets. People kept falling to the ground, and the sword and shield formation was defeated, with nearly 200 casualties. If the army in front was opened, the casualties would be even greater.
The enemy army reached thirty meters away. At this moment, Qing Cang gave an order: "Shoot the arrow!"
There were fifty archers who prepared in advance and immediately shot hundreds of arrows into the sky. Why were hundreds of arrows? It turned out that Qing Cang made a small modification to the arrow, with one bow and two arrows. Moreover, he also calculated the angle of the arrow shooting. The enemy's target is too large, so it is enough to shoot the arrow. The accuracy requirements are not high. If you don't ask to kill people, you can lose your combat power when you are injured.
These bows and arrows flew into the air, forming perfect parabolas, and fell directly into the pikes. Due to the lack of protection from sword and shield soldiers, the pikes were exposed within the attack range, and about sixty soldiers were immediately caught in the arrows and nearly half of them died. All this was unexpected.
Before the sword and shield returned and gathered the formation again, the second wave of arrows had been fired. If there were 500 archers, there would be no need to fight this battle, but unfortunately there were only 50.
Although the second wave of arrows was not as fierce as the first one, it also hit more than fifty people. Qing Cang's ak47 was still shooting here. He injured nearly 300 people, and more than 100 people were missing there. In the first round, the Yellow Turban Army had lost more than 400 people.
More than 400 people are equal to one-third of Zheng Hong's troops. Now the gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller. If they do not make any decisions, the loss will be even greater. Zheng Hong felt a little guilty. He had listened to the advice of the military advisor before, and a mistake would lead to eternal regret.
"General, use a long attack!"
With the reminder of the military advisor, Zheng Hong then realized. "Arrowers, the gunman obeyed the orders! Shoot them to death!"
After this order, about 300 archers quickly took their positions, immediately pulled the bow and waited for the order to draw the bow.
At this time, Qing Cang had already seen the other party's intention.
"I'm finally going to use a bow and arrow. I see how many arrows you have to shoot!"
After the third wave of arrows was shot, he prompted the archer to hide.
At the same time, about 300 arrows had already shot into the high wall. Fortunately, he asked the others to hide well, otherwise he would suffer heavy losses. A large number of arrows shot into the soft ground, leaving countless bows and arrows.
Then the spear was constantly being thrown into, and the sharp spear destroyed everything in the mine. Both sides would suffer losses in this battle.
The number of enemies was still decreasing, and their long-distance attack did not work, but on several occasions, the bow and arrow directly passed through the small hole and almost shot Qing Cang. If it weren't for the timely reminder of the numbers in his eyes, he would probably have died long ago.
"Scatter the army's position!"
At this time, the enemy military advisor issued an order for Zheng Hong, which surprised him a little, because once they were dispersed, it was not a good thing for him. It was originally a big target, but now it was scattered into a large number of small targets. In this way, the attack effect was directly weakened.
He turned around and saw that Lin Meng and others were ready. They were guarding both sides of the gap. Once soldiers rushed in, they would be killed without mercy!
Sure enough, the dispersed stance really played a role. Because dozens of people had already bypassed the firepower and reached under the high wall, once they pulled the distance within ten meters, Qing Cang would basically not be able to fight, and they would not fight. These people were explained by Lin Meng and other soldiers. Because there was only one entrance.
"Everyone is ready, the enemy is coming in!"
Lin Meng shouted violently. Now he held a spear in his hand and led his brother to the entrance, staring at the eyes.
The sword shield rushed to the front and rushed in when they saw the gap. They didn't know that dozens of people were waiting for them holding machetes. Because the hole was too small, only two people could pass through each time. Before the two of them could react, they were hacked to death on the spot. Then the others were slaughtered like they were cut off.
The two sides fought fiercely, each with losses, but the Yellow Turban Army suffered more losses. The reason was that Lin Meng and others were very fierce, and on the other hand, these Han soldiers were full and strong to kill.
"Report, we have lost more than 500 people!"
There will be reports from soldiers.
Seeing that the high wall could not be captured for a long time and his people were constantly losing money, Zheng Hong was anxious.
"Military advisor, what should I do?"
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
"What?"
"Retreat! We can't afford to eat this mine. If we continue to consume it, we will have a dead end! The other party must have a help from experts!"
Originally, the army of 1,200 people was beaten to pieces by a Han army of less than 100 people, and he could not let it go.
But after looking at the military advisor's serious expression, he rarely made mistakes in his judgment, just like before, if he obeyed him, he would not have been defeated badly.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
At this time, someone knocked on the archer. The archer was an ancient musical instrument made of copper and was like gold. When the soldiers heard the sound, they were unable to fight, threw away their helmets and armor, and retreated. Without the support of the archers, Qing Cang would not miss this opportunity and ordered his archers to continue attacking.
When the people behind the high wall heard the other party's retreat, their morale was shocked and cheered, and at the same time, a large number of bows and arrows shot out from it.
This time, the enemy lost nearly a hundred more times. Their sword and shield soldiers were basically dead. Only some archers and spearmen were left.
Qing Cang jumped out of the bunker, and the muzzle of ak47 was already a little red.
"Blade and shield defend formation!"
Everyone received the order, and nearly fifty swords and shields gathered together, and used shields to form an arrow-shaped formation. There was also protection above, leaving only a hole in the middle for Qing Cang to place ak47.
When people emerged from the high wall, they were immediately frightened by the scene in front of them. The Yellow Turban Army was killed and injured. They didn't believe that this was the damage caused by their arrows. It must be that Qing Cang had something powerful to repel these enemies.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but respect him. He was everyone's life-saving benefactor.
The entire defensive formation quickly formed outside the high wall, and the bows and arrows on his side also stopped.
"No matter what, you can't throw away the shields in your hands. It depends on you whether you can annihilate the enemy! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
