I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 31: Night battle!

Mr. Ai had been waiting for Xu Shu to call out the cat-and-mouse along the way. He was not far from Dingtao, and he couldn't think of anyone he could get.

I'm sure I won't be afraid if Cao Cao brings people here in person, but the problem is that Cao Cao is in Dong'a now. This is not the mythical version of the Three Kingdoms, and they can't teleport directly from such a far away place.

Is it...

"Ahem, tell the truth, did you contact Liu Bei secretly?"

"Clam?"

"Holy shit, you really contacted Liu Bei secretly!" Mr. Ai's expression was very distorted, as ugly as if his wife had run away with someone, "You, you, why didn't you listen to my advice and really contacted Liu Bei?
Who is coming?Guan Yu, Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun? "

"Ah?" Xu Shu was stunned for a long time, "Why haven't I heard of who Zhao Yun is? Is he very powerful?"

"Nonsense! Among the brave generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong is the first to show off. He was a hero in front of Changbanpo. He defeated thousands of generals in battle and killed millions of soldiers. He embraced Adou Taiping. You think he is powerful or not? Hey, it is a pity that such a hero is Why did you just follow Liu Bei? If only you followed my idol, Duke Cao, you would be the hero who would bring peace to the world." Mr. Ai beat his chest and stared at Xu Shu's expression.

"Ah, aren't these three people here?

That's it, Liu Bei's subordinates have a major general, and the other generals are useless. Liao Shen killed them all with one Wushuang. "

Xu Shu was stunned:
"Why are these three powerful people in Liu Bei's account fighting so hard with your idol?"

Mr. Ai slapped his thigh suddenly:
"It's not because of..."

He was about to scold Xu Shu severely when he suddenly heard a sad horn sound.

The bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his expression immediately became extremely stiff.

Chengshi's city gate slowly opened, and torches lit up on the top of the city, like a fire dragon covering the whole city. More torches walked haphazardly on the cold and hard ground, and the number of people was increasing. , from a distance, one could only see a mass of dark, ghostly figures. The unspeakable silence and terror made Mr. Ai's face turn green with fright.

"It's over, it's over...this, so soon..."

Cheng's defenders actually left the city!

It’s better to leave the city after dark!

This shows that they are not without the courage to fight, they are just waiting for an opportunity during the day.

Now that the time has come, I am no longer willing to wait any longer, and just come out with full of resentment!
Xu Shu also didn't expect that Xu Bang in the city would be scolded by him.

He thought that tomorrow's dawn would be the time for the battle, but he didn't expect that Xu Bang was not willing to wait all night, and would kill them all here today!
He sighed silently and sneered:

"Don't panic, get in formation!"

This was the first battle of Xu Shu's army, but not the first battle of these soldiers.

Xu He and others were previously organized into the Qingzhou Army by Cao Cao, and they conducted solid training for a long time. In addition to doing corvee service under Cheng Yu, they also practiced most of the time. Faced with this scene of the enemy slowly approaching, they also Not really afraid.

In the past, I was not afraid just because I was used to it. If I was afraid, I would just die faster.

The reason why I am not afraid now is because I have absolute trust in Xu Shu.

General Xu can lead us to survive, and can lead us to defeat powerful enemies and survive!

Listen to General Xu, and you will definitely find a way in this cold winter!

"Ping spear! Forward!"

Following Xu He's roar, Xu Shu's army formed a square formation. Everyone held their spears flat on their chests and moved forward slowly step by step. This advancing array made Xu Si who was watching the troops on the city one of them. shock.

"What an array."

He could tell at a glance that these were Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Jun's tent, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

As a former subordinate of Cao Cao, he knew Cao Cao's ability to train troops very well.

Previously, these celebrities in Yanzhou had no way to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao turned the tide of the battle and subdued hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. Could it be that Cheng Yu really brought out an elite army this time?
He moved his fingers slightly and commanded:

"Wear armor for me, I'll come up and give you orders!"

When Xu Shu saw the troops in the city approaching slowly, he knew that it was time to fight.He held the Huanshou knife tightly in his hand and took a fierce step forward.

The loess under your feet splashed with fine dust, and the air around you seemed to pause for a moment. The smell of sweat and thick depression in the air was clearly discernible.

As the two armies gradually approached, Xu Shu shouted loudly:

"Go forward, I will clear the way for you!"

Xu Shu shouted loudly, but he didn't immediately pounce on him like a bull.

On the contrary, under his order, the few archers of Xu Shu's army stood up and raised their prepared rifle bows, nocking the arrows, aiming, and then threw a sloping downward arrow!
Xu Shu's army had many torches, and they were in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Shu's army had few torches and their figures were blurred. Coupled with Xu Shu's roar, Xu Shu's soldiers were indeed distracted.

The sergeants who were walking in front were all on guard with their round shields. After hearing Xu Shu's roar, they subconsciously wanted to put down their shields and switch to spears to fight. Unexpectedly, they were met with a hail of arrows, and there was a sudden panic. Those who were shot were killed one after another. He screamed and fell to the ground, and the formation of the surrounding soldiers was subconsciously scattered.

Projectiles have limited damage, but are the best method in this kind of encounter.

Xu Shu seized the opportunity, strode forward with his spear, and thrust the spear fiercely with the soldiers arrayed in front of him, engaging in close combat.

The men of Xu Shujun were all well-fed and full of fighting spirit. In the face-to-face collision, they actually blocked the enemies who clearly outnumbered them, and even pushed the front row of the enemy troops to stagger!
"what……"

The piercing screams resounded through the night sky, and the blood sprayed on Xu Shu's body at close range. It was warm, but when blown by the cold wind, it was as cold as ice shards.

In the first collision, not only the enemy's sergeants fell, but several soldiers of Xu Shu's army were also stabbed in the chest by spears.

They include Cao Jun who fled up the mountain with Xu Shu, a refugee who escaped from Juancheng with Xu Shu, and several former Cao Jun sergeants who had just defected to their side in Linqiu.

Although Xu Shu was fully prepared and had thought through all the plans, casualties inevitably occurred in the first confrontation.

Xu Shu saw with his own eyes that these men who were chatting and laughing with him just now were pierced by the enemy's iron spears, and then they only had time to let out an unwilling roar and fell quietly in front of him.

This is...war!
"die!"

Xu Shu was just startled for a moment, but several iron spears were already thrust into his chest, and were about to pierce Xu Shu's body.

But Xu Shu is not alone in his struggle.

The loyal Xu He followed closely in front of Xu Shu. Seeing the spears like the wind, the man rushed towards him with a round shield in his arms. The iron spears in his hands were like electricity, swinging away all the iron spears that were thrust at him.

Xu Shu also reacted immediately. With his left hand, he pulled out the ring knife from his waist and slashed the enemy soldier's chest, immediately tearing a gap.

Bleeding.

The enemy's breath suddenly suffocated.

Xu Bang originally thought that this was a battle that would end immediately if he pressed forward. Seeing that his opponent's resistance was so fierce, he quickly waved his command flag and ordered his soldiers to flank him on both sides.

However, the visibility was poor in the dark night, and it was difficult for the soldiers to see the order flag when they were highly nervous. At this moment, some people wanted to change formations, while others stayed put, which caused a huge chaos.

Xu He, who was very experienced in war fighting, immediately realized why. He laughed deliberately and said:

"You ordered the flag to retreat, but you didn't move. Do you want to die?"

As he said that, he threw away the iron spear, pulled out the ring-headed sword, bent his waist and plunged into the enemy's formation - this move would have been courting death in the daytime, but in the dark night, no one reacted well, and many people listened to Xu's words. When they saw the formation was in chaos, they all subconsciously searched for the command flag.

Some saw the command flag waving, but for a moment forgot what the flag was. Some wanted to follow the command flag, but their companions did not react and immediately bumped into each other.

Xu Heyi, a master of art, boldly plunged in and crashed into the arms of a sergeant. The ring-headed knife swiped at his stomach, and then immediately slashed the other man's thigh. This collision immediately disturbed Xu Si. The army was in chaos.

The spear blocked the enemy's attack, and Xu Shu also used the Huanshou sword during the close-range fight.

His sword skills were faster and more ruthless than Xu He's. The sharp blade caused screams and screams everywhere, and Xu Sijun's formation became even more panicked.

If Xu Shu's army had 500 men, I'm afraid the winner would have been decided by now.

But Xu Shu's army only had more than [-] people. At first, Xu Si was observing the troops at the top of the city like a famous scholar, which led to the ineffective command of the soldiers. Now he personally mobilized and shouted loudly. His soldiers finally came to their senses and outflanked them from both sides. , a big net slowly opened in the dark night!

It seems that this is a killing game!
