Chapter 314 Spear and Shield

Gao Kaidao, Luo Yi and the two were thinking deeply.

Dahe Duoluo opened his mouth and said: "You have never dealt with this Li Manzi, so you don't know how powerful he is. Although we have a large number of people, they are all young and strong in our recruiting clan."

"Then how do we fight?"

"Although the goshawk is powerful, it can't withstand the large number of hunters. We need to rely on the number of people and grasp the weakness of the goshawk. You can see that Li Chongjiu's left and right wings, the Mohe army and the Ding Ling army are weak troops. We will attack these two first. Afterwards, he will come back to deal with the Han army in his center." Da He Duo Luo said in a deep voice.

Gao Kaidao, Luo Yi and Luo Yi looked at each other, revealing a look of surprise, Xin Dao Khitan people are also very knowledgeable.

"Okay, great plan!" Omandu stood up and said, "My Xi Clan humiliated the king's tribe and attacked the Dingling tribe, and the other two tribes attacked the Mohe tribe. How about you Khitans restraining Li Manzi's central army?"

Hearing what Oman said, everyone cursed in their hearts, thinking that this person really knows how to take advantage of it.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can defeat Ding Lingren." Da He Duo Luo agreed.

Omandu nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Then please rest assured, Khan."
"Report to the Khan, the scouts observed the cooking smoke of the Khitan Xi people, and found that they cooked an hour earlier than before!" the scouts reported to Li Chongjiu.

"Preparing meals earlier than usual, what does that mean?" Li Chongjiu asked.

And Wei Chigong, the general at the side, said: "Reporting to the commander, cooking in advance, it is very likely that the Khitan people will get up early tomorrow, and they may launch a night attack! After all, the Xi clan army is coming, and the Khitan sees that our army is alone, so it is likely to launch an attack. .”

"That makes sense." Li Chongjiu nodded.

On the sidelines, General Ding Ling suddenly realized.

"Report to Commander, I am worried that the Khitans will attack tomorrow, our army's left and right wings!"

Cui Xu and Su Diji looked at each other, there is nothing to be ashamed about, after all, the combat power of Mohe and Ding Ling is not as good as Li Chongjiu's Han army.

Tudiji said: "Qi Khan, if the enemy comes to attack tomorrow, I will fight to the death!"

Li Chongjiu nodded appreciatively.

Cui Xu felt a little apprehensive after hearing this.Li Chongjiu saw Cui Xu's expression in his eyes.

The next day, smog lingered in the mountains and forests in western Liaoning.

It was only dawn at this time, the morning light in the east was still hanging, and the whole sky was still dimly lit.

In the jungle, there was a rustling sound, and the dead branches and leaves were trampled and broken, like tigers and leopards crawling.

On the left wing of Li Chongjiu's army, thousands of soldiers from the Qiyu tribe shuttled through the dense forest and quietly approached the front of the Mohe army.

The Qiyu tribe thought that they were invisible, but in fact, all their actions were under the eyes of the scouts who were dormant in the woods.

The Mohe scouts conveyed the message to the rear in their unique way. After Tudiji knew about it, he immediately led two thousand Mohe fighters who were good at jungle warfare to ambush to the east side of the dense forest.
When fighting in the forest, bows and crossbows are the least important equipment, and even long weapons must be thrown away.
The Mohe warriors grew up in western Liaoning, and they knew this way best. They tied leaves on their heads, covered their bodies with mud, and then lay in ambush in the forest, waiting for the Mohefu soldiers to enter their ambush circle.

The Qijiabu didn't know it, and the thick fog blocked their vision. He only knew that after crossing this forest, he could reach the vicinity of the Mohebu and launch a deadly surprise attack.

When the dense fog gradually dissipated and the vision became clear, a sharp whistle sounded in the forest.

Mohe scouts descended from the sky, and in the quagmire beside the forest, hundreds of Mohe soldiers got up from the quagmire and rushed towards the right wing of the Qilu tribe...

Early in the morning fierce fighting broke out, while on the right flank.

Khan Omandu of the Hunhe King's Tribe drew out his scimitar, and 5000 soldiers of the Hunhe King's Tribe launched a mad attack on the [-]-strong Ding Lingbu's position.

The Dingling Department had long been prepared for the surprise attack. They were still surrounded by high carts as a camp. The clan warriors hid behind the high carts and fought back with arrows.

Ding Ling was also Murong Xianbei's slave when he was in western Liaoning, and now he lives in the mountains and forests. When it comes to fighting, most of the people in the clan, following Li Chongjiu, can fight against the wind, and face four times the enemy's strong attack.

They didn't have much courage to fight, they just cowered behind the tall chariots and greeted them with bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Xi family are also good at riding and shooting, and the opponents exchange bows and arrows with each other to engage in arrow battles.

"Report to Jin, this is the enemy's arrow."
Omandu looked at the arrowheads shot by his subordinates, and he sneered and said to the generals: "The arrow feathers are messy, and the shaft is not straight. Look at this arrow, hmph, I don't know what animal bones are made of."

"Chun Jin, Ding Lingren is so vulnerable, we can kill a big one."

"No, Jin Jin, if the Khitan people see that I have fought so smoothly, they will feel that our army is relaxed. In the future, our army will not be able to take so much of the spoils."

"What I'm talking about is that if Ding Lingren is defeated too easily, if the enemy is attracted to counterattack, the headquarters will suffer a lot of casualties."

After hearing what his subordinates said, Omandu said: "It makes sense, let the children continue to shoot arrows. Only the hunter who kills the prey with the last arrow can get the prey. Let's not rush."

In Li Chongjiu's camp, the Khitan's [-] troops pressed forward, but the attack was thunderous and raining.

The Khitan soldiers hurried forward on their horses, and then retreated immediately after a burst of arrows.The arrowhead was so soft and weak that it couldn't even hit the fence of Li Chongjiu's striker, let alone someone.Such an offensive doesn't even count as harassment.

Li Chongjiu's former soldiers all laughed at him with disdain. If it wasn't for strict military orders, he would have already taken off his armor and lay down to rest.

"Are the enemy troops afraid of our strong crossbows?" Yuchi Gongfa asked.

"It's not like." Su Su replied thoughtfully from the side.
"What do you say?"

Su Su picked up the sword and gestured to Shanxia, ​​saying: "Obviously, just like yesterday, the enemy army will break through the weak left and right wings of our army, then isolate the central army, and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Fighting"

Li Chongjiu asked: "How is the battle in Ding Lingbu?"

"We are fighting fiercely."

"Oh?" Li Chongjiu was slightly surprised, and said: "Could it be that this is the power that humiliated the royal family?"

Everyone laughed.

Yuchi said respectfully: "The general guesses that the royal family of humiliating He doesn't want to fight to the death."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I think it's the same, so our previous preparations can be used slowly."

"Report to the Khan, the Mohefu tribe of the Xi clan bypassed the Mohe people's position and came to our army!"

With a groan, Li Chongjiu saw that there were indeed thousands of Mohofers with wild boar teeth on their necks, wearing wild boar leather armor, and holding leather shields.

"Can't the Mohofer Division distinguish between East and West?"

The same scene made the Khitan Khan Daheduluo very angry, because the Mohefu tribe did not attack the Mohe people together with the Qilu tribe as arranged in the previous military meeting, but directly attacked Li Chongjiu's army.

"Immediately send an order to tell Mohefu's troops to turn back. What does he think he is, who can move Li Manzi's central army? If it is true, what my [-] Khitan army can do will have to be his turn."

Dahe Duoluo is very angry now. The two wings he had hoped to break through, the result now is that the Hunhe King's tribe who attacked the right wing was paddling there, refusing to contribute, and attacked the Mohefu tribe on the left wing, and temporarily turned to attack Li Chongjiu of the Chinese Army.

This is simply a mess. As the commander in name, the Xi Clan Alliance doesn't buy his account at all.

"I, Mohofer, can tell the direction!"

Jin Shuertan from the Mohefu Department replied to the Khitan envoy: "But once the bow is drawn, the arrow cannot be shot back. It is too late to say anything at this time."

After talking about the Mohefu soldiers in front, Bucheng dispersed the skirmish line and began to charge.

Shu Ertan had also heard that the Han army's bows and crossbows were powerful, but he had his own warrior's wild boar leather armor and shield, which was enough to resist.

In front of Mohefu's troops was Xu Ke, the deputy captain of Zhuojun who commanded three thousand soldiers.

Tsui Hark glanced at it, then said with a sneer, "You're courting death!"

At present, two red flags were erected on the watchtower of the camp gate. Standing behind the wooden fence, the county soldiers in three rows took up their longbows behind them and set up arrows, looking up 45 degrees to the sky.

boom!
The bowstring collapsed, and arrows rustled down from the sky.

Tsui Hark looked at the shooting effect, and saw that Mohefu's troops were covered by wild boar leather armor and shields, only a few casualties.

Seeing this, Tsui Hark smiled, and said, "Isn't this still a bait?"

Sure enough, seeing that the arrows of the Han army could not penetrate his armor, he blew a beeping ox horn in the direction of Mohefu.

From the rear, the fighters of the Mohofer tribe all accelerated their pace.

The soldiers of the Mohefu tribe supported the shield with one hand, and the leather shield was tied to the arm with beef tendon, so they didn't need to hold it at all.For a short-bodied charging Mohofer warrior, a wide leather shield can almost cover his whole body.

They held a spear in one hand, a leather shield in the other, leather armor and horn pockets on their heads, like brave Spartan warriors.They stepped over the mud in front of them, like praying mantises passing by, and swarmed towards the Han army's position.

Seeing this scene, Tsui Hark's smile grew even stronger.

"Is the arrow sharper? Or the shield stronger?"

After all, the county soldiers in front were all replaced with arm crossbows, stepping crossbows, and waist opening crossbows.

On the gate of the camp, three red flags were erected instead.

shoot!
The crossbow collapsed.

Fox is a brave warrior in Mohefu's tribe. He was named Fox, which shows his dexterity.

When charging, he walked fast, hiding behind the third row, and when the county soldiers suddenly fired crossbow arrows, he was suddenly petrified.

"How could it be possible for arrows to shoot so fast? The crossbow arrows swished densely like raindrops. The two people in front couldn't get up after being hit by them. Blessed by the pig god, if I hadn't tripped just now, I would have died too. Make a big hole."

Just waiting here, Fox saw He Teng next to him, and suddenly opened his mouth, looking very surprised.Immediately afterwards, an arrow shot into his mouth and emerged from the back of his neck, and he was brought down like a broken sack.

Immediately afterwards, I only felt a black shadow flash in front of me, and before I could react, I felt a pain in my chest, and passed out.
