Chapter 58 Military Change (III)

The enemy gradually approached, but the crossbowmen on both sides were still holding crossbows, waiting for Xue Bing's order. Before the order was issued, no one dared to shoot the arrows in advance. This was the order that the chief officials emphasized again and again during the training of the first-level troops. Especially those who violated the wartime violators would be killed on the spot.

All crossbowmen kept this in mind, so even if they thought the enemy had entered the range, no one dared to shoot without authorization.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Xue Bing was observing the distance between the two sides immediately. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, he immediately shouted out. The soldiers on both sides obeyed the orders and immediately passed the orders. A sound of "shooting arrows!" came and went. Along with them were dense branches of arrows.

The power of the crossbow was revealed at this time. In the blink of an eye, the rebels of the Ba County County were shot down by the crossbow, and Xue Bing divided the crossbow troops into five batches. This was formulated because the crossbow was too time-consuming to launch arrows. The first batch of crossbows immediately retreated after shooting the crossbows and placing the arrow branches. Naturally, someone came up behind them to take their position. It was the second batch of crossbows.

Xue Bing's wings continuously shot crossbow arrows, nailing the Ba County rebels firmly to their original location. Xue Bing's left and right were archers. After the crossbow was fired, Xue Bing ordered some archers to use upside down to shoot, hoping that the enemy would shoot at the places where there were many soldiers.

For a moment, arrows shot from the front, and above, and the shield player of the Ba County rebels became the busiest person. However, the shield player could not protect all the people at the 15,000 army. For a time, the people in the rebels were overturned, and many people who were shot by arrows were trampled to death by their own troops.

What scared them the most was the crossbow arrows shot from the front. These crossbow arrows were extremely powerful and very dense. However, in this moment, thousands of soldiers died under the crossbow arrows.

Seeing that the enemy was stagnant, Xue Bing knew that he was shocked by the power of the crossbow, so he did not dare to step forward for a moment, so he said to Yan Yan: "The old general is here to plunder the formation, and I personally lead the cavalry into the enemy formation. If you take the head of Tong Fan, this battle will be settled!"

Yan Yan heard this and hurriedly said, "General Xue, please wait. It's better for me to lead the army to rush to kill him. General Xue will leave this plundering formation!"

Xue Bing said: "The enemy's leader is hidden among the troops and cannot be approached easily. Even if there are more than a thousand elite cavalry to help him, it is not easy. General Yan is old, and if there is a mistake, what should he do?"

Yan Yan was furious when he heard this and said to Xue Bing: "I am old and strong. General is here. If I cannot take the head of the enemy general, I will present a certain head!"

When Xue Bing heard this, he knew that Yan Yan had decided, so he said, "Since that's the case, General Yan will lead a thousand elite cavalry to the side and enter the enemy formation. I will lead the army here to attract the enemy." He also said, "General Yan must know that whether this battle can be determined by one battle depends entirely on whether the old general can take his head!"

Yan Yan said, "I won't be able to do it! General, please be content with peace of mind. I will definitely present Fan Tongzhi's head to the general!" After saying that, he lifted his sword and rode his horse, leading a thousand elite cavalry to the side of the enemy formation.

Seeing Yan Yan leading his troops away, Xue Bing rushed forward. The enemy was suppressed by his own crossbows and could not move. He had two thousand infantrymen at his hand. After ordering him, the archers around him immediately dodged, and Xue Bing immediately led the two thousand infantrymen to rush over.

However, the Naba County rebels were resisting the rain of arrows in front and above, and suddenly there was no sign of the arrow branches. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the enemy general had already rushed over.

The head coach Fan Tong saw it clearly immediately and immediately ordered: "Run! Bounce for me! The enemy has only a few thousand troops, facing the enemy head-on, what are we afraid of?"

After hearing this, the soldiers shouted in unison and greeted the crossbows on both sides. These soldiers were all grand men. After Xue Bing developed a hierarchical system, these people were assigned to the local garrison corps, and they were somewhat dissatisfied. Now that they had the opportunity to compete with the so-called elite soldiers, they naturally became excited and rushed up with guns and knives.

Xue Bing saw the enemy's scene from afar and frowned secretly. However, he did not expect that the soldiers would suddenly be very motivated. If he knew the reason, he would probably vomit blood immediately.

With such a frowning skill, the soldiers on both sides had already met. Xue Bing waved the Blood Dragon Sphur to fight the enemy bravely, while taking time to check the status of his soldiers.

But seeing these two thousand infantrymen faced several times the enemy's face, and when several people approached, they even covered each other and cooperated, they could vaguely suppress the enemy on the other side.

Seeing this scene, Xue Bing felt relieved and wanted to kill the enemy with all his heart. Under the reflection of the sun, the blood dragon halberd in his hand looked like a huge ball of light, dancing up and down, flying non-stop. The rebel soldiers were unable to approach him.

Fan Tong saw Xue Bing so brave in the distance, and was shocked and secretly wanted to retreat. At this time, he suddenly heard the shouts of killing on the flanks. He turned to look and Yan Yan led more than a thousand elite cavalry to assault from the flanks.

At this time, the more than 10,000 soldiers were all attracted by Xue Bing in front of him, and most of them did not notice that a unit was killed on the flank. Moreover, this unit was still a cavalry. With the impact of the cavalry, when Fan Tong found that the situation was not good, Yan Yan had already reached a place not far in front of him.

"Retreat the troops! Retreat the troops! Withdraw back to the city!" Seeing this, Fan Tong was panicked and didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly directed his men to retreat.

Although the army was fighting with Xue Bing's troops, Xue Bing had few soldiers after all, and most of the rebels successfully retreated from the battle circle.

Yan Yan saw Fan Tong retreating immediately, so he slapped his horse and chased him, shouting, "Don't go! Take a knife from me!" However, there were too many soldiers around Fan Tong, and he couldn't kill him for a moment. Yan Yan was behind, so he could only see him running farther and retreating to the city gate.

"Open the city gate quickly! Open the city gate quickly!" Fan Tong felt a little calmer when he saw that Yan Yan could not catch up. Seeing that he had retreated to the city gate, he just needed to open the city gate, escape into the city, and defend the city. Even if Yan Yan and the enemy general were brave, they would not be able to capture Chin County in a short time.

After shouting twice, he saw that the city gate was still motionless. A sense of ominous premonition arose in Fan Tong's heart. Just as he was about to shout again, he saw a person appearing on the top of the city. Fan Tong saw clearly and hurriedly shouted: "Shi Yilang, open the city gate!"

Shi Yilang sneered on the top of the city: "Tong Fan! You provoke a rebellion and trapped tens of thousands of soldiers in Ba County to death. Do you still want me to save you now?" After saying that, he shouted the archers on both sides and left and right shot him with arrows.

Just at this moment, Lai Changyi also poked his head out of the city wall and shouted to Fan Tong: "I learned the truth about the disarmament from General Xue. You distorted your intentions and deliberately provoked a mutiny, and wanted to kill my life. How could I spare your life?" Then he took the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it with an arrow.

When Fan Tong heard this, he was shocked. When he saw Lai Changyi appearing on the city wall, his face became even more ugly. At this moment, Lai Changyi shot an arrow, hitting Fan Tong's right shoulder. Fan Tong was hurting when he was caught in the arrow, and he could no longer hold the hammer in his hand and fell to the ground. He hurriedly rode his horse and ran eastward.

At this time, Shi Yilang and Lai Changyi shouted loudly on the top of the city, and all the things Fan Tong deceived the soldiers. Xue Bing also ordered his subordinates to shout: "Those who abandon their troops and willing to surrender will not be killed!"

The more than 10,000 rebels heard that they were deceived by Fan Tong and others, and were driven to oppose the Emperor Liu, and their morale was completely drained. They abandoned their weapons and said they were willing to surrender.

Therefore, when Fan Tong escaped, no one was escorting him. He finally escaped from the army, but saw a cavalry running from the side, with a silver armor flashing with its brilliance, which made him unable to open his eyes. In a moment, the cavalry rushed to his side, and a ray of light passed by. He felt that he was flying higher and higher, and then he lost consciousness.

But Xue Bing saw clearly in the chaos army. Seeing Fan Tong-un-unique horse running eastward, he knew he wanted to escape. He also saw Yan Yan still trapped among the troops and could not escape for a moment, so he slapped his horse to the east and looked at Fan Tong-un-unique to come.

But Fan Tong wanted to escape, but he didn't want to be caught by Xue Bing. He killed his head with a halberd and killed his life.

At this moment, Yan Yan also took off his body. Seeing that Xue Bing had already killed Fan Tong, he looked embarrassed and said to Xue Bing: "I am ashamed of the general's entrustment and failed to obtain the head of this thief!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Bing smiled and said to Yan Yan: "The old general led the elite cavalry to attack the flanks of the rioters, and fought the thief in a hurry. Isn't that a great achievement?" Then he did not say that Yan Yan had to take the thief's head.

Yan Yan knew that Xue Bing was looking for a step for him, so he smiled and said, "I am ashamed of you!" So he rode back with Xue Bing and shouted, "The thief has been given the title! You are all deceived by him. Those who surrender now are exempted from their crimes!" As soon as Xue Bing said this, more than one chaotic soldiers cheered and thundered. These people only said that even if they were not dead, they would be punished. However, Xue Bing avoided their crimes. He fell into the ground and protected Xue Bing into the city of Ba County.

At the city gate, Lai Changyi and Shi Yilang had already opened the city gate and were waiting for Xue Bing here. When they saw Xue Bing, they came forward to pay their respects. Xue Bing said, "You should be the first to eliminate this thief this time! However, the people of Ba County are not determined, and they still need to rely on the two more efforts."

Shi Yilang and Lai Changyi hurriedly said, "We must do our best to help the general!"

Xue Bing nodded and ordered the two to lead the army and horses to the camp to rest first. He ran to the city palace with Yan Yan, compiled a letter from the palace, and wrote all the affairs of Ba County in the newspaper, and asked people to send them to Liu Bei in Chengdu.

Then he said to Yan Yan: "I want to lead the army to return first, but Ba County must not be without a person in charge. I want to keep the old general here for a while. When I return to Chengdu, I will ask the lord to send another person to replace the general."

Yan Yan said: "This is the best. I have been guarding Ba County for many years and I am most familiar with it. General, I will do the military disarmament of Ba County properly."

Xue Bing said: "I am relieved to be here for the old general!" The plan was decided, Xue Bing rested in Ba County for several days, and finished the matter, so he led 5,000 elite soldiers on the front line to look for Chengdu and returned.
Chapter completed!
