Chapter 150 The Melody of War
Although Shi Xie didn't understand martial arts, he could still see the basic situation. He couldn't bear to watch Zheng's defeat, of course, not to mention the loser, the blow to morale was three people being killed. Who will command the rebellious Yue people?

It is true that Shi Xie has prestige, but it does not mean that he can completely control these Yue people.

Fearing power but not being virtuous, this is the relationship between Yue people and scholars.

As the most ambitious person in the Shi family, Shi Wu's vision is not bad. He also saw that the defeat of the Zheng family brothers was sooner or later. Now the only thing that can support them to continue fighting is to be a warrior. Be proud of it.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As the warriors of the Yue nationality, the Zheng brothers who are expected by everyone, they can only die in battle, but they cannot accept the humiliation and escape.

This is also the reason why they persist in knowing that they will lose if they continue to fight.

"I can't wait any longer!"

Shi Xie's face was gloomy, and he ordered Shi Wu: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will attack, and we must rescue the brothers of Zheng's family!"

Mu Li also said to Qu Jing: "The Zheng family has never participated in this kind of war for power and profit, but because of Shi Xie's power, let me agree. If they die here, how can I stand in the world? When I work hard before, rescue them."

Qu Jing nodded hurriedly, and without waiting for Shi Xie to send an order, he rushed forward with 3000 people from his own headquarters.

When the rest of the soldiers saw it, they shouted, and everyone worked together to charge forward.

Yuan Yao sneered, pointed at the flag, and the excited soldiers shouted in unison, and the neatly lined up army marched forward.

When the Zheng brothers saw the army approaching from the opposite side, they pushed the boat along the river. First Zheng Luo turned around and ran back.

After a few rolls, he exited the battlefield, but he walked like flying, and hid among the pawns in a few strokes.

It was also thanks to their cleverness, or in other words, they were good at running, so when they escaped for their lives, they subconsciously chose the surest way.

Because of this, they dodged the two arrows Gan Ning shot, and Cheng Yaojin's Xuanhua ax only killed Zheng Min's horse.

Yu Chigong wanted to chase again, but Yuan Yao rushed to his side quickly, grabbed the double whips he raised, and shouted: "Quickly return to the formation, the enemy is coming up."

Cheng Yaojin also wielded his broadsword, knocking down the bow and arrows that came at him.

Yu Chigong let out a loud roar, after all he didn't dare to disobey Yuan Yao's wishes, he followed the two horses and entered the formation together.

At this time, Shi Xie's army had already begun to attack from all directions, and the soldiers of the other three sects, under the leadership of the Shi family brothers, also began to attack this way, but Shi Xie gave up attacking the city and wanted to attack the city first. Eat up this elite soldier outside Yuan Yao's city.

Yuan Yao quickly discovered Shi Xie's intentions and rescued Cheng Yaojin and others. He didn't like fighting, so he retreated and handed over the army to Li Ji's command.

Li Ji got the order, and the soldiers around him rushed to beat the gong, but this was the basic order in Yuan Yao's army, the so-called retreat after hearing the drum, then, if you want to retreat, the soldiers who want to retreat will not have the misunderstanding of retreating, so , Beating the gong is a good way.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the veterans of the First Army who were screaming and rushing forward suddenly stopped, and then retreated towards the city wall step by step quickly.

At this time, Shi Xie also discovered the change in Yuan Yao's army formation, and couldn't help being surprised.

Obviously, it is possible for his elite soldiers to retreat suddenly while charging, but it is impossible for someone like Yuan Yao to retreat so simply, so neatly, without any confusion at all, unless he has practiced countless times do it.

However, it has only been a long time since Yuan Yao raised his troops. If he wants to practice so proficiently, he must train his troops day and night without stopping.

You must know that no matter how hard-working a general is, it is impossible to train every day. In that case, the food and grass will be huge, especially in today's troubled times, where rice is expensive and people are cheap. There is so much food, it is better to hoard it. Use it again in war.

When Shi Xie found out that Yuan Yaojun still had three meals a day, what was left was shock.

Of course, this is a later story. Now Shi Xie, although surprised by Yuan Yao's elite troops, after all, his numerical advantage lies there.

There are 2 troops in the South Gate alone, and he still has some confidence in two to one.

Of course, he didn't blindly let the soldiers charge in a swarm, but shilled the county soldiers from all over the country, under the command of the general, to rush forward, and wanted to break Yuan Yaojun's defensive formation. Only when the best soldiers and Yue warriors step forward can they exert their greatest power.

Yuan Yao saw through Shi Xie's intentions at a glance, or in other words, Li Ji had analyzed Shi Xie's possible actions in advance, so he did not rush to contact the county soldiers who were rushing forward, but continued to retreat until he came to the On the edge of the moat, they stopped and re-arranged.

"What is Yuan Yao doing? Put your back on your back?"

Shi Wu was beside Shi Xie, and asked puzzledly.

Yuan Wei, who was behind him, suddenly shouted: "No, beware of the archers in the city, my lord, quickly order everyone to retreat, we are within the range of the archers."

Shi Xie woke up from his dream. He was just thinking about Yuan Yao's weird behavior, but he did not ignore the fact that although the two sides were fighting in the field, there were a large number of archers behind Yuan Yao. The reason, as well as the cover of the charging soldiers, has stopped shooting. Isn't it a living target to charge up at this time?
But it was too late for him to understand. After retreating behind the moat, Yuan Yao raised his right hand and coldly ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Om..."

As if someone had stabbed a hornet's nest, arrow clusters covered a large area outside the city. Even the sunlight was covered, and the ground suddenly darkened. Many charging county soldiers felt their scalps go numb and looked up. , Then, a large group of screams rang out, those with shields were okay, those spearmen and cavalrymen all fell under the rain of arrows, the originally tide-like crowd fell down like cutting wheat on the ground.

But soon, the people behind screamed again, and they couldn't help being squeezed up by those behind them. The archers in the city were not polite, they didn't need to aim at all, they only needed to bend their bows and set their arrows, and they could shoot one. , A few arrows go down, that person will not die, but will also be crippled.

Shi Xie, the boss with wide-eyed eyes, looked at this scene in disbelief, and shouted angrily: "What about the shield soldiers, what about the shield soldiers, let them go up quickly, and the archers go up too, no. Lift those ladders up too, everyone! Go all out and rush into the city!"

"My lord, calm down. Now that the three armies are in chaos, it's better to withdraw the troops and regroup!"

Compared with the literati like Shi Xie, who only knew to talk about classics, Yuan Wei, as an aide, also dabbled in the military, and hurriedly grabbed Shi Xie, who had lost his position, and suggested.

"That's right, pass my order quickly, the whole army retreats! The whole army retreats!"

Shi Xie drew out his sword, stood on the car, and ordered loudly.

The Zheng brothers also regained their composure, and they came to Shi Xie's side together and shouted: "Don't worry, Mr. Shifu, all the men of our Yue nationality are heroes who are not afraid of death. Quickly let the ones in front spread out, and we will personally Go to battle!"

Shi Xie nodded again, and said, "Yes, yes, pass on our military order quickly, and the army will spread out to both sides, so that the Yue army can come forward."

"My lord, don't do it, first retreat and reorganize the formation, and then send troops to attack before it's too late!"

Yuan Wei was in a hurry, it was a war right now, how could there be Shi Xie who would give orders every once in a while, wouldn't he be asking for defeat?
Shi Xie was originally a scribe, although he had some political skills, how could he have any experience in such a large-scale war.

It's good that the battle is going well, and you can command it calmly, but such a rapidly changing confrontation between the two armies requires extremely strict requirements for the leading generals to perform on the spot.

Under Shi Xie's inconsistent orders, some of the attacking soldiers retreated and some ran to both sides.

Suddenly there was chaos, and a large rain of arrows rained down on the top of the city. Many people ran around like headless flies. This made the chaos even more.

The archers in the city took the opportunity to reap a large amount of life.

Especially Qu Jing's subordinates, there were so many dead, even himself, was shot in the shoulder by Liu Ya.

Seeing the sudden chaos of the enemy army, Yuan Yao thought that these people were frightened by the rain of arrows, so he couldn't help being overjoyed. Yu Chigong beside him suddenly said: "My lord, the enemy army is in chaos. I invite three thousand soldiers to charge directly at Shixie's middle army. !"

Yuan Yao frowned slightly. Although Shi Xie's army was suddenly in chaos, which surprised him, Yuan Yao did not lose his composure because of this. He turned his head and said respectfully to Yu Chi: "Although the enemy army is in chaos, it has not yet collapsed. Shi Xie The Chinese army is still quite law-abiding, so let’s wait.”

Yuchi Gong was very anxious, immediately cupped his hands and said: "My lord, don't miss this opportunity, if you don't succeed, I will come to see you!"

"If my lord is worried, I can also follow and be Yu Chigong's helper!"

It was Cheng Yaojin who listened to Yu Chigong's suggestion, couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly.

Seeing how confident the two were, Yuan Yao gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't rush Shi Xie's army, you mustn't be brave. Get back quickly, and I'll come to meet you!"

Patting his neck, Yuchi raised his head and shouted, "Don't worry, my lord, just watch me defeat the enemy!"

As he said that, Yu Chigong made a big move and led three thousand soldiers out of the formation. Cheng Yaojin also screamed excitedly and followed closely behind.

This time, it was Yu Chigong's true independent leader.

The excitement in his heart can be imagined.I saw Yu Chigong clapping his horse and wielding his sword.He forcibly cut a small path out of the chaotic army.

This narrow path became bigger and bigger under the impact of the [-] troops that roared past.

Cheng Yaojin followed closely beside Yu Chigong, the two put all their strength into it, like a competition, crazily harvesting the lives of the soldiers standing in the way.

Following the gap made by Yuchi Gong, Li Ji ordered the flag to be unfurled, and the rest of the elite soldiers shouted in unison and pressed forward together.

The chaotic enemy army was originally killed by the archers in the city.

First he was thrown into disorder by Yu Chigong, and then stopped by Cheng Yaojin who caught up to fight, his command was chaotic.

The soldiers from various counties with their own subordinates could no longer support them and retreated. Instead, they scattered the Yue tribe soldiers of Zhengshi who were about to catch up.

Seeing Shi Xie in the car, he was even more at a loss, he could only look at Yuan Wei and said, "What should I do, what should I do?"

Yuan Wei frowned, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you can order the central army to retreat temporarily, let the scattered county soldiers retreat to the two sides, then order the Chinese army to step forward to block the enemy's impact, and then send people to gather the county soldiers and reorganize the formation .”

Shi Xie nodded again and again, and he was about to act according to Yuan Wei's idea.

But at this time, Yu Chigong, who rushed up, managed to catch the enemy's command error, how could he let it go so easily, he and Cheng Yaojin rushed to the front with his personal guards, as long as it was blocked All those in front of them were beheaded one by one, and gradually, the surrounding soldiers also saw the pattern. Wherever the two passed, the enemy troops avoided to both sides one after another, not daring to confront each other head-on.

The soldiers of Ding Yuan's army behind him also took the opportunity to widen the gap, and followed closely behind Yu Chigong.All the way to kill Shi Xie's cart.

The enemy's bravery obviously made Shi Xie a little worried. He hurriedly ordered Shi Wu to lead the Shi family's armored soldiers to attack the enemy, and asked repeatedly: "Where are the other troops? Why haven't they come yet?"

Before the words were finished, a handsome army horse rushed out from the left, the leader was a soldier, wearing armor, and he looked quite brave, he raised his voice and shouted: "Father, don't panic, my son is here to help you!"

On the right side, a group of people rushed out, the leader was Shi Wei, leaping on his horse and holding his gun, he quickly approached the battlefield.

However, it was only close, because later, behind them, the Yuan character banner suddenly appeared, but it was Li Ji, who had seen through Shi Xie's plan early on, and saw that Shi Xie's formation was in chaos, so he sent troops around to catch the enemy troops on three sides fight.

For a moment, outside the south gate, shouting Sha Zhentian, Yuan Yao and Shi Xie, one on a horse and one in a car, just looked at each other from a distance.

However, there was a flash of murderous intent in Yuan Yao's eyes, and Shi Xie tilted his head timidly.

At this moment, Yu Chigong, who was charging forward, had already exchanged hands with Shiwu. The Zheng brothers looked at each other, and leaped out with a tacit understanding, wanting to surround Yuchi Gong in all directions.

Cheng Yaojin on one side was furious, and flew towards him, trying to stop the brothers Zhengshi, but suddenly there was a roar from behind, and a horse with a black mane brushed past him, but it was General Gao Chong of the First Army who rushed over. When Yuchi Gong was blocked, he fought hard to fight.

The Zheng brothers were startled, although they had never fought against Gao Chong, they had heard of his name, they lowered their bodies subconsciously, and separated from Zheng Luo to stop Gao Chong.

Gao Chong laughed loudly, and a long spear made dragons leap and tigers leaped, and it swept towards him like a huge wave.

Zheng Luo fought only for more than ten rounds, but the tiger's mouth hurt, he hurriedly turned the horse's head, and retreated. Fat and big, a wolf-toothed arrow shot at his back.

Shi Wu held Yu Chigong back because of Zheng Jian and Zheng Min, and his energy recovered a little, when he heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, he just lay down on the horse's back without thinking.

With a sound of blocking, the spiked arrow grazed Shiwu's breastplate, splashing a stream of sparks.

The huge strength also passed into Shi Wu's body along the heart guard.

With the sound of "Wow", Shi Wu felt his chest was suffocated, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, Yu Chigong, who saw the opening, hurriedly fended off the Zheng brothers, and killed Shi Wu.

Zheng Jian had quick eyes and quick hands, seeing that it was too late to save him, he threw a pumpkin hammer in a hurry, and smashed it at Yu Chigong's face, Zheng Min then backed away, grabbed Shi Wu's belt, and threw it back.

This throw happened to allow Shiwu to escape unharmed.

Yu Chigong's long whip just missed Shi Wu's scalp, even so, Shi Wu's hair was disheveled, and he fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Many personal soldiers rushed over quickly, dragged the soldiers and ran back.

No matter how much Yu Chigong tried to catch up, he couldn't.I had to give up my soldiers and soldiers to fight against Zheng's brothers.

Who knows, these two people are not pedantic, they know that they are not Yu Chigong's opponents, if they make a cry, they will turn into the soldiers.

Yu Chigong held back his anger, after all he was thinking about Shi Xie, a big fish, he slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and rushed forward.

Gao Chong bowed his bow and shot an arrow, and there were flaws around him. He was overjoyed by the scene, and rushed to sneak attack.

Suddenly, one of Shi Xie's generals also spotted Gao Chong who was unsuspecting, and he also wanted to attack him from behind.

Although Gao Chong was shooting an arrow, he was not completely unprepared when he heard the bad wind behind his head, he hurriedly lowered his head, and pulled out a throwing spear from his horse with his backhand, without even looking at it, he just threw it back, only heard a sound of ah, that The sneak attacking general screamed, was shot through the chest by the flying short spear, and fell off his horse on the spot.

When Qu Jing saw him, his soul flew away, how dare he go up to fight, reined in the horse, and also ran back, while running, he cursed: "Isn't there any weaker generals under this Yuan Yao?"

Seeing Qu Jing ran away, Mu Li didn't want to fight, he abandoned Cheng Yaojin who was fighting, dragged the mace backwards, and retreated, Cheng Yaojin wanted to chase, but a pawn suddenly came in, holding a spear Stabbing back, Mu Li sneered, turned sideways suddenly, retracted his stomach, and shouted loudly like thunder, which frightened the pawn for a moment, then, the mace moved like a wind wheel, and the pawn was smashed to pieces on the spot Half body.

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, only then did he realize that just now Muli was feigning defeat, in order to use this trick as a backhand.

Muli threw out the mace, only to realize that it wasn't Cheng Yaojin who was chasing him, and he was also taken aback. However, since the matter was revealed, it was impossible to use it a second time, so he could only stomp his feet in frustration, taking the right to be Cheng Yaojin. Biting Jin got shit luck, turned his head and backed away.

Cheng Yaojin was lucky, he got his life back by accident, knowing that Muli is not easy to mess with, he didn't chase him, but went to the other side to kill him.

In this battle, both sides had their own calculations at the beginning, and gradually evolved into a real melee.

But neither side expected it. Originally, although Yuan Yao's soldiers were elite and brave, they were too few in number after all. Shi Xie's soldiers and horses were also his coffin. They were used to save his life. They were naturally elite. Yao's odds of winning are not too great.

However, the hesitation of Shi Xie's temporary command and the lack of control among the soldiers of various counties also caused a huge chaos.

Gradually, the two sides actually fought to a tie. Yuan Yao's morale was like a rainbow, and he caught the enemy by surprise.

Shi Xie had a large number of soldiers and horses, and gradually stabilized his position. Although he could not regain his disadvantage, he was not so beaten that he could not hold his head up.

Just when both sides were at a loss and didn't know how to end it, they heard Shi Xie's left wing suddenly screaming in panic.

Then, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, from far to near.

Yuan Yao, who was commanding behind, suddenly looked overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Qin Qiong's cavalry is coming up, everyone work hard, victory is in sight!"

The rest of the people also reacted, their morale soared, and each one of them seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, desperately going forward to kill.

On the other hand, Shi Xie's morale suddenly plummeted, and the strength of resistance began to weaken.

Shi Xie's expression changed even more in the car.

He stood tall, so he could see far away. The group of cavalry who rushed up were indeed hitting big Yuan characters, not Shi characters on their side. Needless to say, the cavalry he sent to restrain Yuan Yao, Must have been defeated.

The fact is true. Although Jiaozhou can supplement horses, it is limited to finances and horses.

Shi Xie only formed a cavalry team of 2000 people.

Moreover, a considerable part of the cavalry was divided into their own guards of honor by the old and young of the Shi family.Its combat power is naturally inferior to the best cavalry battalion of the First Army.It's normal to be defeated.

On weekdays, Shi Xie would be able to accept such a failure. After all, although the cavalry is strong, he has the advantage of infantry, and it is not that he is helpless against the cavalry.

The impact of the cavalry is certainly powerful, but the tightly integrated army formation, coupled with various long weapons, can also effectively prevent the impact of the cavalry.

But the point is, now Shi Xie can't effectively mobilize a complete army at all.

With the addition of Qin Qiong's cavalry battalion, the balance of the war gradually began to tilt in favor of Yuan Yao. The resistance weakened and Shi Xie's soldiers could no longer stop the attack like a tiger descending from the mountain. Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin Drenched in blood, he broke through the triple siege of Shi Xie's army, and finally met face to face with Shi Xie behind him.

More soldiers of the Yuan army staggered out of their way, excitedly followed behind the two of them, and rushed towards Shi Xie.

"withdraw troops!"

Shi Xie's face was pale, and he firmly grasped the crossbar of the carriage with both hands. For the first time, on the land of Jiaozhou, he gave the order to retreat.
