Under Zhao Wuxi's order, more than 500 soldiers marched in a neat line three hundred paces away, and made preparations.

At this point, he could also clearly see the black formation of the Qi army on the opposite side. The left, middle and right numbers were equal, and there were two rows of armored soldiers holding shields in the front row of each large formation. At the back are a dense number of pawns holding spears, but the length is not as long as the spears specially made by the military pawns, and the formation is a bit scattered; the archers stand in rows from the gaps between the columns, adjusting the bowstrings and preparing to fire arrows; The car moved to the center, and it seemed that there was no plan to give up the frontal hard drive.

Of course, Zhao Wuxi saw the fear they showed when they faced the military soldiers standing still.

"As expected, although the Qi people are good at the art of war, they rely too much on their skills. During the battle, the people's hearts are not divided, and the troops are deployed before and after the light, so the formation is huge but not firm. What's more, they are deployed on the spot in the bushes and deep grass, and the formation and The gaps between the formations are huge, and they are not close enough at all.”

This is the skill that Zhao Wuxi was taught when he communicated with You Wuzheng in the lower palace. In the face of this situation, the Jin army used to play in the past. The left and right flanks, and the other one attacking from the front taking advantage of the situation, can be broken.

But today, because he was outnumbered, Zhao Wuxi made some fine-tuning according to the actual situation.

The **** chiefs once again gave orders to the two chiefs, corps chiefs, and pawns.

"Ge in the last two rows is pointing at the sky! The spears in the first three rows are flat!"

"Sword unsheathed! Raise shield!"

"Bow the crossbow!"

"Second and third sons are ready to gallop on horseback!"

Zhao Wuxi also held flags representing the colors of different arms and gave command on the spot. He instructed the young imperial guard to say.

"Xing Ao, control the speed of the car, don't be in a hurry, don't be impatient, advance and retreat in a controlled manner."

Xing Ao nodded heavily. He loosened his hand slightly and held the eight bridles tightly again.

At this time, five hundred people from the left, center and right were led by the **** chiefs. Qi Qi reported: "Qi Yan!"

"Qiyan!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison.

"Good, the whole army continues to move forward slowly. After fifty steps, speed up the trot, and then everything will go according to the original plan!"

After speaking, the drummers began to beat the waist drum again, and everyone stepped again according to the increasingly dense drum beat.

"Doctor, drum vertebra, drum vertebra!"

Wu Ya Brigade was a little stunned after the other party stepped forward, and only then did he realize that he was in a passive state from beginning to end. Facing closer and faster enemy formations. He hurriedly handed the drum vertebra to the right side of the car and asked him to tap the leather drum stand on the car.

"Sima Fayun, encourage horses to be irritable, and even the guards are afraid!" Wu Yalu stabilized his mind, and quickly waved the flag to command the pawns and Xiaorong, making the formation as dense as possible, and then began to move forward slowly. move around.

After the entire Qi army array began to move, it seemed to be a little ineffective. The left and right sides were completely misaligned, with one facing forward and the other backward. The people at the back of the formation walked slowly, and the people in the front walked fast, and they couldn't achieve the uniformity of the soldiers at all.

Stand on the chariot. Wu Ya Brigade held on to the railing, and did not forget to shout to the archers in the front row: "The enemy can only shoot arrows after entering a hundred paces!"

But this sentence was a bit late, because half of the archers who could not bear the pressure of the opposite side had already let go of their arrows. hurt one person.

Wu Ya Brigade stomped his feet regretfully, but there was nothing he could do. The rhythm of the archers in the front row was completely chaotic. After they finished shooting an arrow, they began to shoot their bows continuously, no matter what the **** commander shouted. There was no dense salvo, only scattered arrows flew everywhere.

In an instant. The distance between the two sides has entered a hundred-foot range!

The pawns moved forward in a similar way to modern armies, steadily advancing until they were within the effective killing range of enemy fire, and then turned to attack. At the beginning, the phalanx marched steadily forward, and this speed could maintain a tight formation. Then, when the first batch of arrows of the Qi people fell into the phalanx, speed up and switch to a trot attack!

This is what Sima Fa called "the ranks of the line, the war with caution".

The spears in the phalanx were flattened and pressed like countless hedgehogs. In the center of the concave shape, Qi Wan, a Mengcheng native, also raised a shield to protect his neck and chest, and the short sword in his hand was shouted by the pawn, Mu Xia. Down, slammed your own shield!

They called out their names.

"Wu pawn!"

The sound of swords and shields, contradictory percussion, and the noise of hundreds of soldiers shouting in unison resounded through the sky, and even reached Zhen Yi, which was several miles away. Fart gu sat on the ground.

And Qi Ren, who was facing the military pawn, was even more frightened, and the shaking in his heart was like the crack in the eggshell, which was getting bigger and bigger.

It took them half an hour to complete the formation, and then they moved forward under the pressure of the military officers in the rear. Looking at these Jin people pressing down like a mountain, it is not comparable to those Lu Shi who were scattered and fighting two months ago. Some people started to cramp in their calf and stomach, stood still, and walked forward without saying anything.

As a result, these people were quickly killed by the military officers in the back row. Most of the Qi people in the front row were old soldiers, but they were still able to persevere. However, the disciples in the back row fell into incomparable panic. They didn't know whether to move left or right, and the formation that had just been gathered by the officers loosened up again.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, only fifty paces. The air was stagnant, and everyone was breathing heavily, as if a rope was tightening around their necks.

Facing the enemy's terrifying right flank, the archers who were marching on the left flank of the formation were discouraged and began to disobey the command of the **** commander. This has messed up the formation of the left flank of Qi formation, leaving many obvious gaps.

The archers in the center and the right flank, under the pressure of the sword and shield at the rear, shot another arrow before they hurriedly retreated to both sides. However, the arrows were scattered and chaotic. Although more than ten people were killed or injured by the martial soldiers who were charging intensively on the opposite side, they did not disturb their formation, but panicked themselves.

"It's enough to withstand the first wave of shocks. If you do it hard, you will fight lightly. If you press it, the enemy will collapse!"

Before he finished speaking, the crossbowmen on the opposite side stopped, and then began to move obliquely toward the two wings again. The five breathless crossbowmen stepped forward one after another, and within the ideal range of forty or fifty steps, lifted the single-armed crossbow that had already been wound and charged.

"Not good!" The armored soldiers, whose formations were somewhat loose, hurriedly raised their shields for defense. But there are still many gaps left.

It was too late to speak, and Su Shouyu shouted loudly. The first row of crossbowmen pulled the hanging knife with their fingers, which was a salvo!

Bang bang bang!

The armored soldiers on the left and right wings of the Qi people only felt a sudden strong impact on the shield. Some people were shocked to take a step back, and some people fell back as if they had been punched in the stomach. Several crossbow arrows passed through the gap, killing several apprentices and causing confusion.

Afterwards, the crossbowmen rode their own pawns before they ran to the enemy. Started a terrifying five-segment shot without gaps. After installing each crossbow on Wangshan, the accuracy improved a lot, and immediately suppressed Qi Ren's progress.

In just a few short breaths, the Qi people archers who could not see what was happening in front of them only had time to shoot one arrow, killing and injuring several opponents, while the Qi people's soldiers and soldiers were hit by three rows of crossbow arrows in a row, and more than ten people were reduced.

Wu Ya Brigade found that there was already a commotion on the left and right flanks of the Qi people, and even the formation of the armored soldiers was in chaos, and some of the soldiers could not stop shaking their weapons.

"There is no other way, I can only hope that the five hundred people in the center will be led by chariots. First defeat the enemy's center line, kill or capture the opponent's coach." Wu Ya Brigade gritted his teeth and waved the flag so that the center was not attacked by crossbows. Arrow strike. Qi pawns, who are more tightly shaped, speed up and press on.

At this point, on the open plain that is hundreds of paces wide, the entire array of the two sides finally collided head-on!

...

The sword and shield formation that Qi Wan belonged to was located at the back of the concave shape on the right wing. When the two left and right sword formations collided with the shield-wielding armored soldiers, they were still ten steps away from the front.

So he could see what was happening.

It stands to reason that the encounter and battle of the phalanx against the opponent was carried out by pushing hard, pushing the shield against the shield, and stabbing with the spear, until one side did its best to retreat.

However, considering the length of the special thorn spears made by the military soldiers, they were in a tight queue of five columns. At least the first three rows of spears can easily pierce the enemy when they are flat, and even go over those sparse shields. Poke into the neck and chest of the soldier behind.

But the opponent's short sword and eight-foot spear, Ge couldn't do that.

So at the moment of the collision, more than a dozen soldiers and disciples of Qi were stabbed with blood holes by three rows of spears. Blood spurted wildly, screamed and fell to death, those who were not dead rolled and struggled on the ground, and only a few soldiers were killed or injured.

But because the number of Qi people is exactly twice that of the military soldiers, and because the front row armored soldiers wore armor, the injuries were not too big. After a collision, the impact of the military formation was temporarily stopped, and the two sides began to stalemate on the front.

But as soon as they got close to the fight, the Qi people were dumbfounded.

What happened to the row of bronze spears that were more than ten feet long? The phalanx is so close together that even if someone is killed and retreats, any gaps will be filled immediately by the spears in the two rows behind. How can people rush? If you push forward, you will die, and if you go backward, you will live.

The same is true for the two rows of Ges that are held diagonally. They can peck down from a height to help the front row of Pao Ze to push and peck, multiplying the threats faced by the enemy. They can also move forward and replace the front row. fallen comrade.

While the Qi people were afraid, they did not find that the new soldiers recruited in the Song Kingdom were also a little frightened and unfamiliar. The battle in Po Zhenyi was not fierce, how could it compare with today's tragic scene? However, as the battle began after the enemy was attacked, the pawns with spears found that they only needed to lift their spears forward, and it would be difficult for the enemy to break through the array. Paoze, there is Paoze behind him, without a spear of his own, and dozens of them around him.

It turned out that when they were in Shangqiu, the training that the brigade commander asked them to do every day was really useful. The soldiers were more confident, and the hands that held the spear no longer trembled.

The tip of the spear was pulled out, blood splashed, the bronze ge swung down, and the head burst open.

The **** slaughter ended the stalemate between the two sides, and the front line began to push forward and drag Qi to move behind. The muddy pool of blood and the corpses lying on the ground ~lightnovelpub.net~ seemed to be just an enhanced version of the quagmire. The **** leader and the drummers helped them find the right footsteps in the noisy and screaming battle formation, and everyone could still move with the footsteps after the assassination.

"Go, go, go!"

The crossbowmen continued to shoot and kill all the soldiers from the gap between the formations, and they also continued to reduce their numbers under the projectiles of the archers on the opposite side.

Because of the superior number of people and the wider depth, the left wing of the Qi people was not swept away in the first time, but the decline after the battle made them a little guilty. Some people want to fight, some people want to run away, some people are overwhelmed, and some people have already taken action. There is even a small army of 50 soldiers who left their spear and turned their heads and ran away.

A huge gap suddenly leaked out of the Qiren front, and the sword and shield square behind the "concave" shape was waiting for this moment. Onslaught in! (To be continued)
