Chapter 120 Cao Mengde Comes
"Kill! Bo Shuai said that whoever can get Liu Ye's head will be named Xiaoshuai!"
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was furious. After all, among the Yellow Turban Thieves, there were many generals who died in battle recently. If they could be named young commanders, they would be able to squeeze into the inner circle in an instant when employing people.
Countless yellow turban thieves looked at Liu Ye with greed in their eyes, as if they were looking at a beauty covered by a light gauze, and then at a mountain of gold, silver and jewels.
Liu Ye shot his spear horizontally, and said loudly: "A certain head is on the neck, anyone who is not afraid of death can come and get it!"
Several yellow turban thieves looked at each other, nodded one after another, and then stood shoulder to shoulder, obviously knowing that Liu Ye was not easy to deal with.
Tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves besieged on all sides, and the number of casualties of the Licheng Army, which was already small in number, began to increase sharply. Bocai nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.
"Hmph, that's pretty much the same. A bunch of useless things. They have to be supervised by the commander himself to work hard."
Although Bocai said so, in fact, there are not many young commanders left under his command. Pei Yuanshao, Liu Pi and Gongdu were all beheaded by the Licheng army, and He Yi stayed to deal with Cao Cao. After beheading He Man himself, Bocai became a loner for a while, and at this moment he had no choice but to go forward to supervise the battle in person.
And Bo Cai personally went to the battle to supervise the battle. A row of supervisors stood fiercely behind them with shining knives and axes in their hands. Which of the tens of thousands of yellow scarf thieves would dare not work hard. After all, they also knew how cruel Bo Cai was, so they only dared to move forward. Don't dare to back down.
Seven hundred Licheng troops formed a circular formation, and under the command of Yu Jin, they stubbornly resisted the attack of the Yellow Turban Bandits. It is hard to imagine that this remnant army that repelled the Yellow Turban Bandits nine times back and forth still had the strength to resist. . Although under the attack of tens of thousands of troops, the situation was in jeopardy, but the situation was maintained.
Seeing this, Bo Cai was furious: "What about the archers, call the archers up and shoot me hard, I don't believe it, even if Liu Ye's troops are all made of iron, they must be bent."
Since the two thousand archers have not stepped forward to fight, the organization can be said to be the most complete in the Bocai army, and the size of two thousand people is still maintained.
Two thousand archers came to the front of the formation, but hesitated for a moment and did not make a move.
"Bo Shuai, there are still people fighting fiercely with the officers and soldiers, why don't we wait until we get rid of the entanglement, and then I will shoot arrows later?"
Bo Cai sneered: "What is this, you just shoot arrows, whoever is hurt will be his life."
Isn't it just a group of miscellaneous soldiers? It doesn't matter if they are all dead, as long as the elite are in their hands, breaking a city can pull up tens of thousands of strong men, breaking two or three counties, wouldn't a hundred thousand troops come out?
People like this will die as soon as they die. There is nothing to make a fuss about. After they are exhausted, they will go to the hinterland of Yuzhou, and they will be able to pull up another 100,000 troops easily. If Yuzhou is not good, go to Yanzhou. , the Han Dynasty could not do anything else, that is, there were too many people.
Hearing what Bo Cai said, the archer general was naturally not willing to disobey, so he ordered his subordinates to draw their bows and set their arrows. Two thousand archers took out arrows from the quiver on their backs and lightly put them on the bowstring.
The arm is strong, and the bowstring is drawn.
"put!"
The bow swung the arm downwards, and the two thousand archers were ordered to release their arms immediately.
Whoosh!
Two thousand feathered arrows soared into the sky, and slid down in an arc in the air, as if it had rained in the sky.
"ah!"
There were screams one after another, and the officers and soldiers were entangled with the Yellow Turbans, but most of them shot the Yellow Turbans. After all, the number of Yellow Turbans far outnumbered the Licheng Army.
"What's going on, why even us shoot?"
"If I can go back alive, I must beat up these goddamn archers."
"Oh, I shot Lao Tzu in the shoulder."
Many yellow-turban thieves couldn't help gnashing their teeth and yelling curses. After all, a rain of arrows suddenly rained down and shot you so heartbroken. Who can bear it?
But before they finished cursing, the second round of arrow rain arrived as promised. Also, the Yellow Turbans hit more arrows, while the Licheng army had fewer arrows. Now many Yellow Turbans were frightened and became passive and fearful of fighting. The pressure on the officers and soldiers was greatly reduced for a while, and they didn't know whether Bo Cai's move was brilliant or stupid.
It didn't take long for another round of arrows to rain down. This time, the number of yellow turban thieves was shot to death and injured, because they had been prepared.
However, counting the previous rounds of volleys, the yellow turban archers' volleys totaled more than ten rounds. At this moment, not to mention drawing the bow, even raising their arms was laborious, and it was extremely sore.
The yellow turban thief cautiously confirmed whether there would be any more arrows falling. After seeing that there were no more arrows, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then pressed again, which also gave the Licheng army who had been fighting for a long time A respite.
The two armies fought again, but they were fired by three rounds of arrows, and the Licheng army had less than 600 people left. The pressure increased suddenly, so they had to take another step back and form a dense formation. But if you continue to retreat like this, it is estimated that it will be difficult to connect the formation.
As for Huangfusong, who had been standing on the head of Changshe City and watching the fierce battle outside the city, he couldn't help being very moved.
Liu Ye led the army under his command to fight bloody battles and repelled nine attacks from the Yellow Turban Bandits. Facing Bo Cai who personally supervised the division, he still had the strength to resist, which is really strong enough. Among the troops under Huangfu Song's command, only his personal bodyguards could fight bloody battle to the last step.
"Xiu Gufeng, Weishan Cuiwei, no grass will never die, no tree will never wither. Liu Ye's troops are so tenacious, I'm afraid they will catch up with the waiting Xiliu camp." Huangfusong sighed, but shook his head again.
"I'm afraid that the Xiliu Battalion would not be able to persist like Liu Ye's troops, with more than half of the casualties. I am afraid that only the Wei soldiers trained by Wu Qi during the Warring States Period can be compared with it."
Huangfusong felt that among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin's army had the strongest combat effectiveness. Since Shang Yang's reform established the 20-level military merit system, Qin's soldiers were delighted when they heard the battle, and they were called the "Tiger and Wolf Division" by the six Kanto countries.
However, Wei State, one of the Three Jin Dynasties, had an army that defeated Qin State in a direct confrontation and seized the land five hundred miles west of Qin State's Hexi. They were soldiers trained by Wu Qi.
And at this moment, Liu Ye's troops had almost reached their limits. After all, they were all made of flesh. Today, they fought fiercely for most of the day. At this moment, they were no longer fighting with their bodies, but with their spirits.
And at this moment.
"Bo Shuai! The officers and soldiers are coming from the west."
Bo Cai was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was furious: "What, how is it possible, how can there be any officers and soldiers around here? Don't you want to lie about the military situation and disturb our army's morale!"
"The villain dare not, please see for yourself, handsome."
Bo Cai looked back angrily, and couldn't help being taken aback.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, surrounded by a large flag with the word Cao, came in formation.
