Chapter 444 The Battle of Bingzhou (5)

"No, right? Can you still get it after all the camps are blown up?"

On a temporary tower built behind the Han army, Guan Yi clearly saw the scene inside the Jin army's village.

When the first two rounds of stone bombs on our side landed, a large number of new soldiers from the Jin army who had never experienced war were extremely panicked and quickly exploded the camp. But at this moment, Wang Jun handled it properly, Pang Ding charged to the death, and more middle and low-level officers of the Jin army desperately suppressed it. The Jin army actually magically restored order.

However, Sima Guan was not depressed at all.

"Hahaha, okay, the enemy lost the defense of the battalion and had no choice but to come out to fight our army. I don't want to use the spearmen in the inside of the camp... Let Wang Shizhi see my new spear formation. Pass the order! All the catapults were burned, the spearmen and the crossbows, retreated sixty steps, and then changed the formation!"

"Here!"

Just after the Han army ignited its own catapult, Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that the Han army also wants to fight a field battle. Very good. The enemy was too close to the camp just now, and our army could not set up a formation. Now the Han army takes the initiative to give up space. Then, our army will also go out to arrange the formation.

What? You said you should take this opportunity to strengthen the camp defense and defend it? This option does not exist - the back village is a big lake. Even if you burn all the ships, these timid recruits will not swim across the entire lake for tens of miles. They just need to swim for a distance and find a shore to go up.

Therefore, while it is daytime, it can still fight the soldiers. Otherwise, at night, the team will lose many people.

And what about Guan Yi? Well, the Grand Sima blocked Wang Jun's intelligence line now, but his contact with Jie Xiucheng was also cut off by Du Yu. So, he didn't know what Jie Xiu was going on now. Therefore, he was also anxious to solve Wang Jun here and then lead the army to rescue Jie Xiu.

Therefore, with the commanders of both sides being unwilling or willing, the two armies finally chose to fight in the field.

The lit trencher was like dozens of huge torches. After burning for a quarter of an hour, it collapsed on its own and then quickly went out. After the thick smoke dissipated, the army of both sides clearly showed the other side, and the commanders of both sides couldn't help but widen their eyes.

In the eyes of Jiang Su, the opposite Jin army, uh, it is very familiar.

The opponent's front line was all spearmen. Not to mention each person's three-meter-long spear, each three rows of gunmen were closely arranged, and the distance between the fourth row and the third row was significantly longer. The same row of gunmen had a distance of about half a meter between each other - wasn't this the former large formation of gunmen in Shu Han.

Then on the most flank of the front line, there are the sword and shield soldiers - this is the standard configuration of the former Shu Han spear soldiers: the flanks of the gun array.

As for the end of the Jin army formation, of course there are cavalry.

"Puchi~~" Although it was a battlefield of solemnity, Jiang Su couldn't help laughing, but he quickly reacted and quickly tightened his face: "There are all, each formation leader, blow the whistle and move forward!"

With Jiang Su's order, the Han army's spearman formation was fully unfolded, revealing its hideous side.

"Hiss~~ Why is the formation of this Shu thief's spearman different from before?"

"It's not just that, envoy, the armor of this Shu thief..."

Yes, Guan Yi's current army has a total of 40,000 people. Twenty thousand of them are spearmen, and they are spearmen equipped with plate armor.

This is true. Since the country's strength has been significantly enhanced after taking down Yongliang, Guan Yi began to upgrade the large snatch formation: from a solid snatch formation to a hollow snatch formation.

Now, the 20,000 spearmen from the Han army directly formed twenty hollow square formations. Each square formation had one thousand people, and the thousand people surrounded a hollow square. Each face had two hundred and fifty gunmen divided into five rows, facing four directions respectively - the problem of weak flank defense on the solid spear formation was effectively solved.

At the center of this gun array are one hundred archers, who are responsible for long-range output.

As soon as the two sides fought, screams filled the air one after another, but in general, the sound of the Jin army accounted for at least 90% of the screams.

Both sides had three-meter long spears, and they all stabbed to the right in a uniform manner with the bronze whistle. Although the new recruits of the Jin army performed very unbearable when the Han army stone bullet attacked just now, that was the first time the recruits were facing actual combat and panic without effective organization. When they held the spear and mechanically advanced with the bronze whistle as they had been trained before, their performance was not amazing, but they were basically normal. The gunmen in the first row actually stabbed the Han army on the opposite side many times.

However, what made the Jin soldiers helpless was that the enemy's armor was too good to break the armor!

Of course, it is not right to say that the armor cannot be broken at all. The main problem is that the gun is three meters long, and soldiers have to hold guns in both hands to stab it out. Even so, because the gun body is too long, when the gun is stabbed out, the tip of the gun always shakes up and down. If the tip of the gun touches the scale armor, it is basically no problem - the gap between the armor and the armor is the best place for the tip of the gun to penetrate. However, when facing the Han soldiers wearing plate armor, the tip of the Jin army stabbed the opponent, but as long as the opponent turns slightly, the long spear tip will be cut out.

In fact, in the historical plane, it is precisely because of the advancement of armor technology that the birth of blunt weapons such as maces - anyway, it is impossible to effectively break the armor, so just use dull force to smash your internal organs.

Unfortunately, now the plate armor has surpassed time and space to appear in advance, so the Jin army certainly did not expect to use blunt attack weapons. Therefore, the Jin army suffered a great loss in the first round of attacks between the two sides.

Of course, the middle and lower-level officers of the Jin army were generally good. The main general in the rear did not issue a new order, so the officers continued to blew the copper whistle and commanded their troops to continue to rush forward.

However, after the new attack began, the Jin army encountered another problem: the Han army was a hollow square formation, and the archers in the square formation kept firing, causing casualties and unstable fronts. Another bigger problem is: there are obvious gaps and gaps between the gun array and the gun array on the Han army. In other words, there are always some Jin army gun soldiers who have no enemies in front of them. And this part of Jin army soldiers unconsciously jumped out of their own front and ran to the front. Gradually, the Jin army's front changed from a relatively neat straight line at the beginning to countless "convex" shapes.

This is not only a problem of uneven front lines, but also a spearmen from the Jin army who consciously or unconsciously squeezed into the middle of the two Han army's hollow gun arrays, and were attacked at the same time from both sides - the Han army's gun array can bite people on all sides!

The two sides' stabbing lasted less than a quarter of an hour. When each other shot no more than fifty times, the outcome had lost the suspense!

"The sword and shield soldiers rush forward and surround the flanks of the Sichuan bandits and spearmen!"

Behind the battle formation, Wang Jun lowered his head and thought, while Pang Ding next to him made a loud order at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, this Pang family, are you still thinking about turning the tables? What's the use of sending sword and shield soldiers to encircle the other side at this time? Well, but this hollow square formation, hey! It's really interesting."

"Eunuch, the battle situation is tight, what should we do?" An anxious voice broke Wang Jun's contemplation. When he looked up, he saw that Pang Ding was already angry and his eyes were red.

"Well, General Pang, the enemy's armies are strong and strong, and our army is really hard to fight against the enemy. Alas, I just don't know when the reinforcements from the Young Master will arrive."

"Is there no way to listen to the envoy's words?"

"There is no good way. If you want to turn the situation around, you can only seek to survive in death. Send cavalry charges to see if you can save one or two."

"Serious, General Mo is waiting for the envoy's words!" Pang Ding slapped his hands fiercely: "General Mo is clearly watching in the back formation. There are very few horses in the Shu bandit formation. I think his cavalry is entangled in the Xihe River by Liu Yuanhai. Our army now has three thousand cavalry, and we can fight to the death, and it may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory!"

"General Pang is so magnificent! In this way, please ask the general! Please don't force yourself. If things cannot be done, you should turn around in time!"

"Otherwise, my father and brothers died at the hands of the Guan family. In today's battle, it is rare that Guan Yi's son is on the opposite side. I vow to kill his head to pay tribute to his father and brother. I also ask the envoy to order the brothers of the infantry to support him for a while. Finally, it will take some time to lead the cavalry around from the side."
