Chapter 116 Formation to Meet the Enemy

Liu Ye raised his knife with all his strength, and stuck the blade firmly into the neck of the thief in front of him. He slashed hard and rolled his head off.

Blood slowly slid down the edges of the blades. In fact, the two ring-headed knives had already been cut into curls. Just now, Liu Ye used his strength to cut off the man's head abruptly.

And the continuous charge made the already small Licheng army once again consume more than a hundred people, and the flimsy defense line was suddenly in jeopardy.

Even the three generals Yu Jin, Xia Houyuan, and Guan Hai are all wounded and caught in a bitter battle.

No, if they go on like this, it's hard to say whether they can break out of the siege, even if they can break out, it is estimated that there will not be many Licheng soldiers left who died.

Liu Ye casually threw the two curly-edged knives aside, and picked up a spear used by a yellow scarf thief officer from the ground, which was quite smooth. Now that there are dead bodies everywhere, it is very easy to pick up a weapon from the ground.

"Stop moving forward, gather together!"

Liu Ye ordered the flag bearers around him to wave the flag, and when Yu Jin saw it, he immediately commanded his subordinates to form an formation. Although the four hundred infantry were in the midst of a fierce battle, they were methodically separated from the enemy's entanglement, and gathered together quickly and effectively, shoulder to shoulder , using his own body and the bodies of his comrades-in-arms to integrate into a solid front.

The cavalry dismounted, picked up the dead horses and the corpses of the yellow turban bandits, piled them up like mountains on both sides, forming a small gap, and built a simple circular fortification.

Liu Ye tightly held the spear in his hand, and turned his head to face the forbidden road.

"Wen Ze, you are in command."

Yu Jin didn't talk much, and although he was grateful for Liu Ye's respect, he immediately walked into the army formation and handed over the command from Liu Ye.

In terms of defensive operations, Yu Jin is much more professional than Liu Ye. At the moment, there are only nearly a thousand soldiers, and if he wants to resist the attack of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, he must be a world-renowned general. Although Liu Ye is victorious in all battles, most of them rely on surprising victories and personal bravery. His understanding of the ancient art of war is far inferior to Jin.

Although Yu Jin is from a poor family, it is not a grassroots who does not know a single character. The so-called poor family means that his ancestors came from a noble family, but now his family background has declined, but he has a collection of books. Yu Jin is self-taught. He has systematically learned the art of war. In particular, Liu Ye, a half-baked guy, is much stronger.

As for Xia Houyuan, firstly, he was a guest general, and he did not cooperate tacitly with the armies. Secondly, this Miaocai general was also a ruthless character who was more offensive than defensive.

When Xia Houyuan came out of the town of Guanxi, he pacified the Qiang people for Cao Cao.

Liu Ye, Xia Houyuan, and Guan Hai each commanded from the outside, while Yu Jin was dispatched in the middle. An army of only a thousand people had such generals commanding them, and their combat effectiveness was naturally extraordinary.

Bocai saw that the Licheng army did not run away, but formed an formation in place, so he couldn't help but sneered.

"Order the archers to shoot with all their might."

"Let He Man and Huang Shao fully supervise the battle, and I want to see Liu Ye's head with my own eyes."

The 2,000 archers of the Yellow Turban Thieves immediately lined up, and they raised their bows one after another. There was a strong sound of the bowstring, and the 2,000 arrows were shot head-on.

Yu Jin took his time.

"Raise the shield."

The sword and shield hands in the first row immediately formed a row of large shields, forming a thick shield wall, while the sword and shield hands in the back row raised the large shields and covered them above their heads.

A round of arrows rained down clearly, and the arrows jingled on the shield. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, but many arrows passed through the gaps exposed between the shields and shot into the army formation , A few muffled groans came from the Licheng army formation, and they were shot by arrows.

However, the Licheng army captured countless equipment in dozens of battles, so there were a lot of shields in the army, and only a few dozen people were shot. The injured officers and soldiers gritted their teeth, and bravely broke the arrow shaft directly, or pulled out the arrow, and tore off the cloth strips on their bodies to wrap them up and tie them up.

The Yellow Turbans fired five rounds of arrow rain in a row, because the officers and soldiers stood firm and did not go out to fight, so naturally they would not "shoot three shots before the battle", but after five rounds of volleys, the Yellow Turban archers stopped.

Archery is not an easy task. Most people will inevitably have numb arms after shooting more than a dozen arrows, and they will not be able to lift their arms.

After five rounds of arrows, dozens of people were killed and wounded. It can be said that the Licheng army, which was already small in number, made things worse. However, seeing the archers of the Yellow Turban Bandit slowly retreating into the battle, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And Yu Jin frowned, because he knew that the real bloody battle would only begin at this time.

A large flag with the word wave is erected in the center, and two smaller general flags are on the left and right. One side has the word "He" written on it, and the other side has the word "Huang" written on it. Will.

He Man straddled the horse and held the knife, shouting and embracing tens of thousands of people, he couldn't help feeling proud.

"The officers and soldiers have already shot our archers into hedgehogs, everyone."

The archers stopped shooting, and tens of thousands of yellow scarf thieves surged up, surrounded the Licheng army from all directions, and launched a fierce attack.

Yu Jin was not flustered, but commanded calmly in the middle.

"Pikeman, stab!"

"Shrink the front, don't give the bandits an opportunity!"

The formation of the Licheng army was tight, a row of shield walls erected in the first row like a copper wall and an iron wall, the yellow scarf thieves had just rushed up, the second row of spearmen immediately drilled out from the gap in the shield wall, and the yellow scarf who rushed up The thief was nailed to the ground.

Since many corpses and dead horses of the Yellow Turban Thieves had been piled up on the two wings before, the Yellow Turban Thieves could only rush in through a small opening in the middle. Therefore, the pressure faced by the Licheng Army was very small, and the Yellow Turban Thieves' attack was simply a slap in the face. Oil tactics, come in and kill another wave, it's like cutting leeks, come and cut one crop after another, and the waves can't help frowning.

Bo Cai sneered: "Tell He Man, if he can't take Liu Ye's head, let him come to see him himself!"

The soldiers ran all the way to He Man and conveyed Bo Cai's order.

He Man was taken aback, and ordered hastily.

"Move those dead people and dead horses away, hurry up!"

He Man's subordinates rushed forward, moved the pile of bones and horses aside, and made the gap in the middle bigger and bigger. At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed forward like a raging tide.

Liu Ye was lying on a spear, standing in front of the formation of thousands of troops, at the first line of the formation, with a resolute face with sharp edges and corners, like a standing rock.

At the same time, Huangfusong was also paying close attention to the battle at the head of Changshe City. It wasn't that he was willing to die, but the city guards were already short of manpower. If they were all released, Changshe City would be in danger.
