I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 246 Who am I competing with?
Following an order from Shao Yuan, who was in charge of the front-line command, five hundred heavy arrows soared into the sky, making a sound of breaking through the air. After a graceful parabola, they landed steadily on the heads of the large number of "Young and Dangerous" who were advancing.

This group of "Young and Dangerous" did not have a complete formation. Although there were many shield soldiers holding round shields and square shields, there was no unified command. Of course, they had no experience in dealing with the long-range attacks launched by the Han army, and did not advance slowly in a defensive posture.

There was no unified pace and no coordination between the front and the back, and they basically took care of themselves. So it was not until the heavy arrows fell to the ground and nailed them to the ground that the commanding officers shouted in horror for shields to be raised for defense.

But it was too late.

One round of shooting killed many rebel soldiers on the spot.

Heavy arrows fell from the sky and broke through bodies, blood splattered all over the ground. Hundreds of gangsters died on the spot, and hundreds more were seriously injured and screaming.

The rebels' pace was slowed down and their morale was crushed.

But this is only the beginning.

Soon, the second round of heavy arrows arrived, followed by the third and fourth rounds.

The rebels were numerous and basically crowded together. As long as these heavy arrows were within a certain range, they would almost never miss their targets. Every arrow could pose a threat to the rebels, either killing them or injuring them.

The rebels fell one after another, as if an invisible sickle suddenly cut off a piece of leeks.

That is to say, the Han army has fewer people and the crossbowmen have limited physical strength. They will run out of energy after firing five rounds. Otherwise, they would have been defeated without return.

So Yuan Shu ordered the crossbowmen to retreat. The messenger waved the command flag, and Shao Yuan immediately ordered the crossbowmen to retreat to the second line to rest and change into hand-to-hand weapons, and then ordered the archers in the rear to move forward and prepare to continue the attack.

Despite this, these more than 2,000 heavy arrows also brought a great psychological trauma to the rebels. So many people died in front of them, and they became the survivors. Not everyone can withstand this impact and excitement.

If this is the case for the professional regular army, let alone these farmers who were still working in the fields a month ago.

Therefore, Yuan Shu's first wave of attack was enough to cause many rebels to suffer mental collapse. They dropped their weapons, turned around and ran away crying. This immediately caused a large chain reaction, causing many people to run back howling.

But the situation was still under control at this time. When Cao Shao heard the news, he was furious. He immediately arranged for the cavalry who were responsible for protecting him to go out and kill any deserters. This was to deter the soldiers from moving forward and not retreating.

Are you afraid of death?
Behind, there is also death!

Go forward!!!

As long as we rush forward quickly and engage in close combat with the Han army, everything will be fine!

The supervising cavalrymen waved their ring-handled swords and madly hacked at all the rebel soldiers who were fleeing backwards. As long as they saw them, they would chase them and kill them with a sword without mercy.

Seeing how fierce the cavalrymen supervising the battle were behind them, the rebel soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

But this time they were obviously much slower, and they also learned to hide behind shields.

However, there were not many people holding shields, and one shield could not protect so many people, so the soldiers ran to whoever had a shield and crowded around him.

When there were more people, they started pushing and shoving, making it like a fight for a seat. Some people were even pushed to the ground and trampled to death by the people who followed behind.

So it was no surprise that the Han army's second wave of arrow rain attack brought them even more terrible casualties.

The rebel soldiers became even more reckless in order to avoid the rain of arrows, and even began to scramble for shields, making the already chaotic formation even more chaotic, and even giving the appearance of an explosion on the spot.

What's worse, some of them couldn't grab shields and had to watch the people around them being killed or even shot in the head by Han army's arrows. They turned around and ran in panic, not caring about the flashing ring-handled swords of the supervising cavalrymen, and just ran.

Because there were too many people fleeing, just over 300 cavalrymen were obviously not enough.

I can’t cut it down. I can’t cut it down at all!
When Cao Shao saw that the defeated soldiers were not even afraid of the swords of the supervisory team, he knew that they were obviously not ordinary defeated soldiers and he had to strike hard!

So he arranged the 300 archers who had been kept at the back to move forward, asked them to bend their bows and draw their arrows, and start shooting at the fleeing soldiers. Anyone who dared to run would be shot to death.

Those fleeing soldiers barely managed to avoid the hacking and killing of the supervising cavalry, but were faced with arrows shot by their own teammates who were sniping at them.

One after another, the unlucky fleeing soldiers died under the targeted sniping of their own people. The only two elite troops in the rebel army - the cavalry and the archers did not attack the Han army, but instead attacked their own people. The first to be killed were not the enemy but their own people. This was a bit too ridiculous.

But this may not be the case. After all, it is hard to say whether these peasants are his own people in Cao Shao's heart.

As a result, with the Han army's rain of arrows in front of them and their own people's ring-handled swords and arrows behind them, the rebel soldiers suddenly found themselves with a dead end in both directions and they were trapped in a desperate situation.

Death before and after!
They are all enemies?!
On the other hand, this overly absurd scene silenced Yuan Shu, who was standing on the observation deck watching the situation.

Why are these rebels killing each other?
And they kill each other in battle?

Is there anyone in their entire army who can lead the troops?

How come it suddenly started to disintegrate while walking?
This is not how an unbreakable alliance can be broken!
After a moment of silence, Yuan Shu couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xu Chong who was standing beside him to protect him.

"Chong, you say, our enemies are in such a state, but I still hold my ground. Am I... being too cautious?"

Xu Chong blinked his bright eyes, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Whatever the boss says is what I listen to you!"

Yuan Shu was speechless.

Then he sighed and covered his face.

He felt that the world was far crazier than he had imagined.

Across the street was a group of rebels killing themselves, and beside him was an innocent boy who had given up thinking completely and elite soldiers who were ready to fight...

Who am I competing with?
Really, Yuan Shu really just wanted to fight a wonderful defensive counterattack at the beginning to support Duan Xing's siege, but the problem was that the enemy he faced was so incompetent that he even found it ridiculous.

Then, he thought of another timeline that happened more than ten years later. In the famous battle among the princes to fight against Dong Zhuo, the so-called "heroes" led by Yuan Shao just gathered in Suanzao to eat, drink and have fun for a while, and did not fight with Dong Zhuo at all.

The one who fought Dong Zhuo seriously was Sun Jian, and it was also Sun Jian who drove Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang. Among the so-called coalition of princes, there was only one Cao Cao who pursued Dong Zhuo, and then he was taught a lesson by the elite and warlike soldiers of Xiliang.

As for those very famous "princes who were fighting against Dong", they continued to hide in Suanzao. When the food was exhausted, the anti-Dong alliance scattered.

Then they started killing each other...

From the beginning to the end, it seemed like just a party where everyone drank and had fun comfortably, quarreled from time to time, and did nothing else.

If we compare those "princes" with the current group of eunuch remnants...

Well, there is a reference!
Maybe this is their true level...

With this kind of ability, he still wants to imitate others in rebellion and become a general to fight against rebellion...

Yuan Shu sighed and gave orders to the messenger beside him.

"Order the cavalry to act according to the original plan and attack."

"After the cavalry attacks, order the infantry to form a battle formation. All the archers will change their gear, form a battle formation, and attack together. Cooperate with the cavalry to attack from the front and back and wipe out this group of bandits!"

Yuan Shu really couldn't hold it any longer.

He was certain that this group of people were not deceiving him or putting on a show for him, but that this was the truth.

This group of people treated marching and fighting as a joke. They went to the battlefield without any systematic military training and thought that war was a group fight!
that……

Let me teach you how to fight!
