Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 133 The danger of the earth and mountains, six thousand versus sixty thousand

Liu Ming, escorted by Gai Xun, Liu Biao and others, led the Northern Army's Shesheng Battalion and four thousand infantry who were still marching in a hurry.

Their task is only to meet Zhang Liao's cavalry, so there should be no accidents.

After all, the Huns' cavalry is famous all over the world, so a fierce battle is inevitable, and there are a large number of Baibo thieves to help. If one's own side does not have infantry, then Zhang Liao will inevitably suffer.

Of course, two legs are no match for four. The cavalry has already arrived at the gate of Wen County in front, and the infantry company has not yet completed half of the way.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Shi A suddenly reminded him.

Liu Ming looked northeast in the direction of Shi'a's finger, and saw countless densely packed soldiers and horses pouring out of the vast snow-covered land, rushing towards this side in a dark mass, countless in number, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Liu Ming hurriedly took out his telescope to observe, and was shocked, "It's the Black Mountain bandits! Why did they get here?"

"Your Majesty, there is a raid by thieves, quickly seize the mountains ahead." Gai Xun also noticed something was wrong, and based on his years of combat experience, he immediately made a judgment.

"It all depends on the arrangements of your beloved." Liu Ming did not interfere in the specific combat arrangements of troop formations, but he was still self-aware.

"Seize Tushan! Hurry!" Gai Xun immediately issued an order, making the flag wave continuously, and the army turned around and rushed towards Tushan.

The hill is not high, and it is on the left front of the road. It is not a big problem for five to six thousand people to stand on it.

"Condescending and overwhelming?" Liu Biao asked next to him.

Gai Xun took the telescope and glanced briefly, then followed the army and rushed towards Tushan. As he ran, he replied: "It's impossible to break the bamboo. It's better to find a place to stay first than to have nothing to rely on on the flat ground."

Liu Biao's face turned red, knowing that his understanding of the art of war was still a bit too rigid.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and many decisions are made by commanders on the fly based on their own experience or even intuition. How can there be so many strategies with open eyes and tactics with closed eyes?

Gai Xun's heart was a little heavy. The Black Mountain bandits were like locusts, rolling over the ground. The visual estimate was at least 50,000 or 60,000, and there were only 6,000 in his own group. Although the individual combat capability of the official army was far greater than that of the Black Mountain Bandits. Yes, but the disparity in numbers cannot be overcome.

The most important thing is that His Majesty is still in the army. If His Majesty has any shortcomings, he will undoubtedly become a sinner for the ages.

How can I still be in such a strong mood at this time? The most important thing is to avoid problems.

Tushan is about two miles ahead on the left. Such a rapid march originally required extremely high physical fitness of the infantry, and after running so far, many people had already complained, but now they also saw densely packed enemies swarming in the distance. Come, the instinct of survival drives them to further stimulate their physical potential and rush towards the mountain.

Before the official army and the Black Mountain bandits had come into contact, the scouts from both sides had already exchanged hands. The scouts were all cavalry, and they were wandering several miles away from the main force to explore the situation. When they found the other side's scouts, there was nothing to say. Yes, you can only kill the other party.

Scattered fighting has begun.

"It's the Black Mountain bandit Daqu Commander Zhang Yan who is here in person." Gai Xun handed the binoculars to Liu Ming and said.

As Liu Ming ran, he used his binoculars to take a look at the dark enemy. Sure enough, he saw a mighty man under the banner at the front. His black cloak was fluttering, and the word "Zhang" was written on the banner.

At the same time, the scouts of the Black Mountain bandits have sent back the latest information to Zhang Yan: "Commander Qi, the dog emperor of the imperial court is in the army ahead!"

"Finally, I caught him, hahahaha..." Zhang Yan was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing, "Brothers, speed up and catch the Dog Emperor!"

"Capture the Dog Emperor!"

"Capture the Dog Emperor!"

The momentum of the Black Mountain Thief was shaken, the sound shook the wilderness, the marching speed increased again, and they rushed over like a tsunami.

Liu Ming also heard the cry of the Black Mountain bandits, and couldn't help but secretly screamed that it was bad luck. To facilitate the march, I had already removed the yellow umbrella cover and other ceremonial objects. How could the enemy still know that I was in the army?

He immediately noticed his attire, gold helmet and golden armor, even the red cloak was trimmed with gold, and the horse harness and sword were also inlaid with gold and jade. It looked noble at first glance. Although there was no ceremonial guard, but under the stars like the moon. In the formation, it is still easy to distinguish.

The officers and soldiers quickly swarmed onto the mountain.

"Quick, quick, quick! Get in formation!" Gai Xun panted. At this time, the Black Mountain bandits were almost coming in tandem. They were only about a mile away from them, five hundred meters away, and they were arriving in an instant.

"Sword and shield soldiers in front!" Gai Xun continued to shout, and the heralds around him kept waving their flags and urgently commanding the formation. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers often practiced this defensive formation on weekdays, so there was no confusion or confusion. A situation of being overwhelmed.

"Shesheng camp is ready!" Liu Biao also shouted urgently, "Set up in a fighting position, repeating crossbows in front, hard crossbows second, bows and arrows behind..."

The crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion then took action quickly. They first prepared the wooden frame used to launch the repeating crossbow, quickly used the winch to open the crossbow string, and installed the long arrow...

"The spearmen come forward and protect the archers!" Gai Xun said loudly.

The officers and soldiers were like a sophisticated machine, with all the parts working together quickly to arrange their formations. Liu Ming was also amazed by the sight.

At this time, Liu Ming and Gai Xun had arrived at the handsome flag on the top of the mountain.

The commander's flag is flying high, which is the command center of the army and where the military courage lies. If the commander's flag does not fall, morale will not be compromised.

Before Liu Ming could find a place to sit down and take a breath, the Black Mountain bandits were chasing him, like a huge wave, heading towards the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

The officers and soldiers had just stabilized their position, it could be said that they had not even taken a breath, when the Black Mountain bandits arrived.

"Capture the Dog Emperor alive!"

"Capture the Dog Emperor alive!"

……

Screams came and went, raising the Black Mountain bandit's momentum to the limit.

Liu Biao's gentle and elegant face showed a fierce look. He raised the flag high, then waved it down with force and said loudly: "Archer, let go!"

hum!

Thousands of long arrows soared into the sky from the mountainside, like a flock of suddenly frightened birds, covering half of the sky, and were thrown down towards the crowd of Black Mountain bandits at the foot of the mountain.

Because you stand taller, you shoot farther.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

puff puff puff...

The sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air and the sound of metal entering the body were densely intertwined, making people's scalp numb.

The Black Mountain bandits had no effective defense at all, and a large area was immediately cleared.

But they knew that on this hill, which was not too steep, there was the Dog Emperor that they wanted to kill in their dreams, so they continued to rush forward regardless of their own safety.

Suddenly, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row of the army squatted down, revealing the large repeating crossbows that had been installed behind them.

"Liannu, let go!" Liu Biao waved his flag and shouted.

Dozens of repeating crossbows fired in unison, each firing five giant arrows at the same time. Each arrow was half a foot long. The black mass pierced the sky and fell into the Black Mountain bandits.

Because the arrows are long and have strong thrust, when faced with the relatively dense Black Mountain bandits, at least half of the arrows can penetrate two people at once, and their lethality is far greater than that of ordinary arrows.

This is the most powerful weapon in the Shesheng Camp. Not only does it kill enemies like mowing grass, but the tragic scene can also greatly frighten the enemy.

The momentum of the charging Black Mountain thieves stagnated, but the ones behind them kept charging forward for unknown reasons. It was impossible for the front ones to stand still, so they could only continue to charge upwards.

"Hard crossbow, release!" Liu Biao ordered again. The hard crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time triggered the mechanism, and the crossbow arrows swept past like a strong wind, and a large number of Black Mountain bandits fell in response.

At this time, the archer had already nocked the arrow and clasped the string again, the bow was drawn to the full moon, and the arrow once again soared from the mountainside...

"Free fire!" Liu Biao shouted.

At this time, it is time to test the quality of the individual soldiers. The speed of fire and the strength of the individual soldiers can be freely displayed.

Volleys are naturally more lethal and deterrent, but when the enemy has already rushed closer, there is no time to organize a volley, and everyone has to kill the enemy based on their own abilities.

The Black Mountain thieves saw the officers and soldiers in front of them, but they couldn't rush forward. Under the intensive attack of arrows, they fell down in waves, and rushed up again and again, but they still couldn't avoid being shot.

Zhang Yan was so angry that his eyes were wide open and bloodshot. He had occupied Black Mountain for so many years. This was the first time he fought such a difficult battle. He waved the knife in his hand and said loudly: "Surround Tushan and attack from all sides. I don't believe it." How many archers can he have!"

So all the major commanders and junior commanders led their men and horses to surround them along the foot of the mountain.

He is worthy of being a commander-in-chief, but his vision is different.

In order to improve the strike effect, Liu Biao's archery battalion was only deployed on the front. Not to mention the archers, even the infantry was relatively weakly deployed elsewhere. After all, there were only 6,000 people in total.

The Black Mountain bandits numbered 60,000, enough to surround the entire mountain and attack from all sides.

On the top of the mountain, even Liu Ming, who was not familiar with the art of war, saw that something was wrong.

Gai Xun hurriedly waved the command flag and passed down the orders one after another, mobilizing the few infantrymen to defend the area.

Thus, the most brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat began.

In this life-for-life struggle, the disadvantage of a small number of officers and soldiers soon became apparent.

Even if you can fight one against two or even one against three, so what? The enemies are ten times as many as you, and as soon as they heard that the Dog Emperor was on the mountain, they all rushed up with blood filling their pupils and anger rushing to their heads.

He really complied with those words and fought hard to bring down the emperor!

Liu Ming frowned. From the powerful killing intent bursting out from these originally mediocre Black Mountain thieves, he could tell that the world's hatred for Emperor Ling and dissatisfaction with the imperial court had reached the extreme. The entire country was on the verge of collapse. Immediately dangerous situation.

However, the wealthy gentry of the aristocratic families and the princes of the court still went their own way without thinking of any good way to save them.

The people who were forced to have no way out chose to rebel.

When Zhang Yan saw that he had made a breakthrough from other places, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Change the front to a feint attack, and focus on attacking the two wings and the back mountain!"

So immediately a large number of Black Mountain bandits were sent to both sides of the mountain and even behind the mountain to strengthen the attack.

At this time, a detective came to report: "Commander, something bad happened. The official cavalry defeated the Huns cavalry in Wen County and killed the Baibo army."

"Ah?! So fast?!" Zhang Yan was surprised, "Then what? Where are the army and cavalry at this moment?"

"Going to chase the Huns cavalry!" Tan Ma reported back.

"Explore again!"

Zhang Yan looked at the handsome flag on the Tushan Mountain, then looked in the direction of Wen County, gritted her teeth, and ordered loudly: "Beat the drum! Beat the drum! Whoever can catch the Dog Emperor, we will support him as the emperor!" "

As long as we capture this mountain and control the emperor, even if the official cavalry comes, they will not be able to do anything to him.

The herald rode his horse around the mountain and loudly announced the reward order.

With this order, this was a big deal. The Black Mountain Bandits, who were already full of hatred, seemed to have received another dose of chicken blood, and rushed towards the mountain with screams and screams.

Everyone thinks that he may become the emperor today, everyone thinks that he is the one to rewrite history, and everyone wants to be the first to rush to the top of the mountain!

The pressure on defense suddenly doubled.

This group of official troops fought against the peasant army many times, but often the peasant army was not their opponent at all, and they even had a sense of superiority in their hearts.

But at this moment, almost in an instant, the officers and soldiers felt that they could not resist it. The front was okay. After all, the Black Mountain bandits were feigning an attack. The officers and soldiers on the other three sides had to retreat towards the mountain while fighting.

Gai Xun was so anxious that he was sweating, "Your Majesty, quickly put on the ordinary soldier's armor, I will protect you and fight out!"

Liu Ming put down the telescope in his hand and said: "Don't worry, hold on for a while, Wenyuan has already repelled the Huns cavalry. I believe that the war here will be discovered soon and they will turn back to rescue."

Gai Xun was helpless. It was even harder to get out of this situation than to reach the sky. There were Black Mountain bandits everywhere, and the army had already retreated to the mountainside.

"Hold on! You must hold on!" Gai Xun shouted loudly, "The imperial cavalry has repelled the Huns and is on its way back to rescue. If you hold on for a moment, reinforcements will arrive! Hold on!"

Liu Ming had an idea and said: "Everyone shout together, the cavalry reinforcements have arrived, the Black Mountain bandits will be defeated!"

"The cavalry reinforcements have arrived, the Black Mountain bandits will be defeated!"

"The cavalry reinforcements have arrived, the Black Mountain bandits will be defeated!"

……

At first, people on the top of the mountain were shouting, and soon the whole mountain was shouting. The Black Mountain bandits' offensive was obviously weakened, and everyone had a look of confusion in their eyes.

Especially the leading commanders, they didn't know what to do for a moment. They had witnessed with their own eyes how powerful the official cavalry was. If the cavalry came to help, it would mean that they had defeated the powerful Huns cavalry!

Such a strong force attacks our Montenegrin army...

Everyone was unsure.

Liu Ming said to He Man and Shi A beside him, "You two, don't stay here. Go to the front and fight for a while."

"We must protect your majesty!" Shi A said firmly, "We must not let your majesty make any mistakes!"

"Silly boy!" Liu Ming said with a smile, "If you can block the Black Mountain bandits in front and they don't rush up, how can I make a mistake? Go ahead!"

The two of them thought about it and felt that His Majesty was right.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" The two men immediately rushed to the mountainside to help defend, and fought fiercely with the Black Mountain bandits.

Both of them were born in the martial arts world, and had many opportunities to fight alone in the martial arts world. However, such large-scale battles were too rare, and it could be said that there were none at all. Letting them participate in actual combat would also be a training for them.

Of course, Liu Shi would not send his personal guards out to defend against the enemy unless absolutely necessary.

Liu Ming picked up the telescope again, but there was still no figure of Zhang Liao's cavalry in the lens.

In my heart, I said that this stupid young man only cares about killing the enemy in front, and does not care whether I live or die behind.

But then I thought about it, maybe Zhang Liao, who was in the fierce battle, didn't even notice that he was in danger behind. Under normal circumstances, as long as the main battle force in front wins, the supporting troops behind will not be in any danger.

But this time, a group of Black Mountain bandits happened to be killed halfway.

"Eh..." Liu Ming suddenly noticed that a troop appeared in his field of vision and was moving quickly towards here.
