Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 618 The First Victory!

Many elephant soldiers picked up the corpses on the ground one after another, and charged towards the Linzhan crossbow array!
The crisis is coming!
But Gan Zijin just frowned without any fear!

During this period of time, besides guarding the entrance of the Tianbi Road, he was also thinking and deducing every day how Xiang Rong would attack in the Tianbi Road.

He also put himself in his shoes and thought about how he would break the formation if he were Xiang Rong.

After constant thinking, he came up with dozens of attack methods, and made dozens of records accordingly. Facing these attacks, how should he guard against them.

The charging method of Xiang Rong carrying the dead body was within the dozens of methods he had expected.

Therefore, he has already thought of a countermeasure!
"Crossbowmen withdraw, spearmen deploy!"

Following Gan Zijin's loud shout, the two rows of crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the sword and shield players also retreated together, while the spearmen on standby at the rear rushed forward quickly!
The first row of spearmen squatted down, their spears rested on the ground, and the tip of the spear pierced upwards!

The spearmen in the second row squatted halfway and placed their spears on the shoulders of the spearmen in the first row!
The spearmen in the third row stood upright, and put their spears on the shoulders of the spearmen in the second row, forming a three-row array of spears. The spear points were sharp and dense, like a moat, difficult to break through!
Although these spears were temporarily made by Gan Zijin's people, made of short knives tied to rough wood, their power is not weaker than the authentic spears.

This formation was horrific, but the Xiangrongs still slammed into the dead body against the dead body. Suddenly, heavy casualties were suffered!
No matter how they charged, how they jumped, how they slashed, they couldn't break through the spear formation, and it was like a copper wall that firmly blocked them.

But their casualties kept increasing!

This situation made Xiang Rong very angry. He didn't know whether it was to vent his anger or do it on purpose. One Xiang Rong suddenly struggled and threw the dead body on the ground towards the spear formation.

When the corpse hit, it immediately shook some spearmen slightly.

This method was found to be quite useful, so many elephant soldiers frantically threw their corpses, causing chaos in the spear array.

When Gan Zijin saw this, he didn't have the slightest fear. He had already expected this situation, and immediately ordered, "Spear array, retreat slowly!"

The third row of spearmen moved upon hearing the order, quickly put away their spears, pointed the spear point upwards, and retreated quickly.

The spearmen in the second row stood up and moved their spears from the shoulders of the spearmen in the first row to the gap between the two in the front row.

The spearmen in the first row also stood up, thrusting the oblique spears horizontally, maintaining formation with the spearmen in the second row, and retreating slowly.

The two rows of spears stabbed out still played a role in blocking Xiang Rong.

In this way, it is possible to withdraw from this place, and there are no corpses behind, and Xiang Rong cannot use dead corpses to attack.

And this sky wall road is extremely long, and every part is quite narrow, which also has the effect of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xiang Rong chased for a while, but they couldn't break through the spear array. Even if they were brave enough to die, they couldn't make sacrifices in vain by hitting the tip of the spear.

After several trials and sacrifices, Xiang Rong returned in vain and retreated disgruntled.

In the Tianbi Road, cheers and jumps suddenly sounded!

This is the first time that the Yuan Clan has won a complete victory in all the Anti-Rong wars in the past few months!
In the past, in many siege battles, the Yuan Clan was able to defend the city at first, but both sides suffered a lot of casualties, which was considered a tie.

But now, the Xiang Rong suffered a lot of casualties, but the Yuan Clan did not have many casualties, and only when they held their positions could they be counted as victories!

The fall of Luocheng, the fall of Dingyue, the retreat of the army and the people... the depression of these days, the depression in the hearts of the soldiers of Lin Zhan, are all released at this moment!
They discovered that as long as they use the natural moat and prepare properly, they can make Xiang Rong return home in defeat!

Hearing the shouts of joy from the soldiers, Gan Zijin also smiled, but immediately restrained his smile.

Because he knows that victory is temporary.

Xiang Rong was just probing, and they will attack more violently in the future.

After all, tonight, Xiangrong only sent a few soldiers to chase down the deserters, and did not gather heavy troops to attack here.

In the future, facing a large number of Xiang Rong, whether it is a crossbow formation or a spear formation, they may not be able to block the opponent.

Just like this battle, he could see clearly that if Xiang Rong's attack was more violent, he would be able to charge forward with the crossbow arrows.

There will also be breaches in the spear array due to the opponent's violent rush.

At that time, there will be a bloody fight!

But even so, Gan Zijin still believed that relying on the Heavenly Wall Road, coupled with the bravery of the soldiers, even if the casualties were not small, he could stop Xiang Rong here!
Not to mention a long time, at least one or two months, it can definitely be done!

But this is just his expectation. After all, Xiang Rong is not stupid. If Tianbi Dao cannot be attacked for a long time, they will choose to take a detour.

Therefore, a partial victory cannot bring about a global victory.

This is the situation today.

Suppressing his miscellaneous thoughts, seeing the soldiers cheering, Gan Zijin immediately said, "Xiang Rong is a formidable enemy and should not be underestimated. Clean up here immediately, move the corpse outside the Tianbi Road, and bury it!"

"As soon as possible, make crossbow arrows and spears to supplement them. In addition, you must make horses, tie them up, and place them in front to hinder Xiang Rong!"

"From today onwards, take turns to rest, take strict precautions, and don't be negligent, and send scouts to check the movement ahead. If Xiangrong attacks, report it immediately!"

Following Gan Zijin's orders one after another, many soldiers took action one after another!
The first time they won with very few injuries, they are full of energy!

……

Walking slowly along the corridor, Prime Minister Wu came to the Japanese room with a calm expression on his face.

The servant guarding the gate immediately opened the barrier paper door for Wu Xiang.

After walking in, Prime Minister Wu saw that there were several people in the Japanese room who were yelling fiercely, as if they were venting their anger or arguing.

The leader is Hojo Changyasu.

Seeing the other party, Wu Xiang nodded his head as a greeting.

Opposite Hojo Changkang, there were three warriors sitting. When they saw Wuxiang, they all snorted and turned their heads away, looking resentful.

Regarding this, Wu Xiang looked flat and ignored it. He walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.

No need to guess, he already knew that what these people were talking about must be the previous defeat.

In this battle alone, the Hojo family lost [-] Ashgaru, which is a huge loss for any daimyo.

For this, the whole Hojo family was furious and resentful.

Unexpectedly, the Hojo family was defeated by the Yoshikawa family, which was weaker than their own, and it was still a disastrous defeat!
Some of them vented their anger on the instigator of this battle, Prime Minister Wu.

In their view, it was Wu Xiang's idea that led to the battle between the Hojo family and the Yoshikawa family, resulting in a disastrous defeat.

But they didn't want to think about it. The Yoshikawa family attacked heavily and aggressively. The Hojo family could not avoid this battle.

Although his subordinates were spitting bad things about Prime Minister Wu, Changyasu Hojo didn't agree. He knew that it wasn't Prime Minister Wu's fault.

The only thing to blame is that the other party was too sharp, the damage caused by that round of arrow rain made him still have lingering fears when he recalled it now!

He knew that those incomparably powerful weapons must have been brought by Qin Yi!
This weapon is so tyrannical that he covets it with all his heart, and it also makes him feel dizzy. He doesn't know how to deal with it.

This is why he called Wu Xiang.

Although the military minister had been hiding it from the past, the fact that the enemy soldiers possessed sharp weapons could not be deceived. If the military minister did not know and could not make targeted measures, no matter how hard he fought later, he would end in a disastrous defeat.

So, Hojo Changyasu spoke slowly.

The servant at the side immediately stepped forward and handed the crossbow arrows on the case table to Prime Minister Wu.

Hikojo Shino, who was sitting on the other side, translated aloud, "My lord said, the Yoshikawa family got a powerful weapon from somewhere, which defeated us. My lord wants you to see if you know this weapon. "

"The lord also wants to ask you, the Yoshikawa family has such a sharp weapon, how should we deal with it."

Wu Xiang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and took the crossbow.

Hojo Changkang also had the same crossbow bolt in his hand, which was pulled out from the wounded and washed.

He lowered his head, staring at the crossbow arrow, frowning tightly.

He had already observed it before, and this arrow was very sharp, and it was shorter than the arrow used in the longbow.

In addition, it has a peculiarity.

There is a strange pattern at the end of the arrow shaft of the crossbow.

It looks like a circle, and there is a character in the middle of the circle, which he doesn't recognize, but Shino Hikojo said that this character is Xin, a character from the Cangyuan Continent.

It is very possible that this arrow is called Xinzi Arrow.

Or that weird weapon whose name is related to the letter.

After receiving the crossbow, Prime Minister Wu lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

With just one glance, he realized that he had never seen this arrow before.

Generally speaking, crossbow arrows are shorter than bow arrows, and this arrow is shorter than any crossbow arrows he has ever seen. Could it be the arrow used by Wo Guo's crossbow machine?

But he knew that Woguo didn't have crossbows, or they did, but they didn't use them on a large scale.

Maybe that's why he and Hojo Changyasu couldn't recognize each other.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Xiang was about to say that he didn't know him, but suddenly he felt a depression in the end of the arrow, which seemed to be a mark.

He turned over and his pupils shrank instantly!
I saw that imprint was a circular pattern, and there was a word in the pattern, letter!

In an instant, he thought of it, Xinziyu!
On the day of Qin Yi's apprenticeship, he gave Qin Yi a jade pendant as an encouragement.

That jade pendant was passed to him by his teacher, and it was named Xinziyu.

It is exactly the same as the pattern, they are all round, with a letter in the middle!
Is it...

Thinking of something, Prime Minister Wu was overjoyed!
In an instant, he strung together all the recent events, and the associations in his mind became clearer!
A big enemy suddenly appeared in the south... The Hojo family was hiding it from themselves... The soldiers and horses in the south were transferred to the west... The west side was defeated, and this crossbow appeared... The crossbow is strange and has letters...

All these, connected together, made Wu Xiang have a guess, it is very likely that Qin Yi sent someone to rescue him!
Thinking of this, Wu Xiang was overjoyed!

This is the first time in more than ten years since he became a military minister, he has been so excited and hard to calm down!
But after a while, he suppressed his joy and regained his composure, so as not to be seen by Hojo Changyasu as inappropriate.

Although he guessed that it was likely that Qin Yi sent someone to rescue him, Prime Minister Wu was not very sure, after all, the clues were not particularly sufficient, but he had decided that he must help the other party and defeat the Hojo family!

Even if the opponent is not Qin Yi, if the Hojo family is defeated, he can still be free.

Thinking so, Prime Minister Wu said, "I don't know this arrow."

When Yan Tiaoxinye heard the words, he was immediately disappointed. He also hoped that the military minister would know and would also make this kind of weapon, so as to help them increase their combat power.

After hearing the translation, Hojo Changyasu didn't have much expression, but asked how to deal with it.

Wu Xiang pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Since the opponent has a powerful weapon, they shouldn't fight head-on, they can attack by surprise, and win by surprise!"

Then, he informed everyone of his thoughts.

After hearing this, Changyasu Hojo immediately showed joy!

He didn't expect to be able to use such tricks in war, it's really amazing!

He was extremely happy, but he didn't see the sarcasm in Wu Xiang's deep eyes.

If the opponent is really on the lookout, or even led by Qin Yi, then for Qin Yi, a surprise attack would be like sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger!
