When the two armies are fighting, there is actually not that much nonsense before the battle, and the generals of the two armies will not be in front of each other urging each other to curse each other, and then start the war after they have finished their talk.
Battles often don't require a word of nonsense. When the two armies encounter each other, they each get into position, and then start attacking without saying a word.
The enemy forward was stationed in the distance, and suddenly there was a sharp roar, and the forward immediately launched an attack.
Immediately behind the vanguard is the main force of the enemy's central army.
The main force of the Chinese army charged on horseback, still using the previous tactics. The Chinese army quickly divided into three groups while running wildly, and surrounded the Tang army from the left, middle and right sides.
The soldiers of the Tang Army were ready for battle. They held the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands tightly, slowly raised it horizontally, aimed forward, and stared at the landmark two hundred steps away in front of the battle formation.
Two hundred steps is the life and death line for the enemy, and it is also the last stand of the Tang army's firearms.
The Tang army did not have much gunpowder left and could only cope with the current charge.
The battlefield was originally a plain, which was very conducive to cavalry charges, but after Li Qinzai ordered trenches to be dug in four directions of the position, the cavalry's advantage suddenly turned into a disadvantage.
This is also the effect Li Qinzai hopes to achieve.
The rumble of horse hooves came from far and near, and the Tang army soldiers looked ahead nervously.
When they rushed several hundred steps away from the Tang army's front line, the enemy's forward suddenly reined in their horses.
They discovered the trenches in front of them, one after another, and deer antlers and horses were placed between the trenches, so chaotically placed in all directions in front of the formation.
The enemy's forwards were suddenly at a loss as the cavalry knew that their strength was charging on the plains, and the trenches in front of them undoubtedly eliminated their advantage.
If they still charge on horseback in such terrain, they will lose at least half of their troops before they reach the front line of the Tang army. But if they dismount and charge on foot, they have personally experienced the sharpness of Tang army's firearms.
Two hundred steps away, the walking speed was enough for Tang Jun to harvest a group of lives in a frenzied manner.
While hesitating, the enemy general in the vanguard made a choice.
Today was a fierce battle against the Tang army, and it was also a fierce battle against the nomadic tribes in the north.
The weapons of the Tang Army, the various bizarre tactics of the Tang Army, and the unrelenting fighting will of the Tang Army deeply shocked the enemy officers and soldiers.
A garrison stationed in a large camp, outnumbered and outnumbered, actually forced them, who had the upper hand, into a dilemma.
The Tang State had such a brave and tenacious army. It is no wonder that it has conquered all the enemies in the world since the founding of the country.
However, today is a dead game, doomed to never end.
The Tang army's defense line must be broken through, there is no other choice.
After weighing the situation, the enemy generals in the van immediately gave the order to continue charging.
Compared with the huge casualties incurred by dismounting and charging on foot, it was better to continue charging with cavalry. Although the casualties were not small, once they rushed within twenty steps in front of the Tang army's formation, victory was in sight.
After hesitating, the enemy soldiers gritted their teeth and picked up the reins, raised the weapons in their hands high, and made a strange cry of "ho-ho" to boost morale.
Two hundred steps, the familiar death zone.
This time there were not only the firearms of the Tang army, but also trenches and antlers to stop the horses.
However, the military orders are like mountains, and no one dares to resist.
The strange screams from the enemy soldiers' mouths were like roars of despair. Under the stern scolding of the general, they gritted their teeth and continued to charge towards the Tang army's front line.
After rushing within 300 steps, facing the first ditch, countless enemy war horses fell down hard. After letting out a mournful cry, they fell into the ditch with both men and horses.
Then the second, the third...
Finally, they rushed within 200 steps, and the firearms of the Tang army on the opposite side began to fire a volley.
So the enemy had to face not only trenches and antlers to block horses, but also the firearms of the Tang army's soldiers.
The enemy's casualties became increasingly heavy.
After paying the price of nearly 2,000 casualties, the enemy's central army suddenly fired a hail of arrows from the sky.
Sharp arrows were shot towards the Tang army like raindrops. Many people in the front row of the Tang army immediately fell on their backs, while the Tang army soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward to take up their positions.
Both sides began to take casualties.
Liu Renyuan stood in front of the formation, brandishing his horizontal sword with a crazy expression, shouting loudly from time to time, and mobilizing troops at any time.
Li Qinzai was tightly surrounded by his troops in the central formation with shields. Through the gap in the shields, Li Qinzai saw the tragic scene in the front formation and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
This battle was really too difficult. He and the soldiers were struggling to support the battle, just like a boat in the stormy waves. They not only had to survive the raging waves, but also had to fight against the waves with their own strength.
Who would have known the pain Li Qinzai and the soldiers of the Tang Army were enduring at this moment if they had not personally experienced this arduous battle.
The soldiers of the Tang Army in the front line were still firing volley after round, and the enemy troops outflanking the left and right flanks also launched a charge at this time.
Dust was flying in all directions, and for a moment Li Qinzai felt as if he was the overlord of Chu trapped in Gaixia.
Unlike the exhausted Overlord, Li Qinzai and his soldiers still had unyielding fighting spirit.
Why should you be ashamed to meet Jiangdong's elders and vow to fight to the death? Even if you die, you will be honored!
"Leave a thousand men in the middle of the front formation to defend against the enemy, and five hundred men on each side of the front to defend against the enemy. Mo Dao Camp is on standby!" Liu Renyuan waved his sword and shouted.
A sharp arrow came and hit Liu Renyuan's raised arm.
Liu Renyuan grunted in pain, his forehead was covered with sweat, his cheek muscles twitched rapidly several times, he gritted his teeth and pulled the arrow out of his arm, and threw it to the ground.
"Continue to defend against the enemy!" Liu Renyuan shouted.
Li Qinzai looked around at the troops protecting him and said solemnly: "All Li family troops are divided into two places to support the left and right wings to defend against the enemy."
Feng Su was stunned for a moment, and then said urgently: "Fifth Young Master, we must protect you..."
"Everyone is about to die, please protect yourself! If everyone is dead, can I still live?" Li Qinzai shouted: "Go, you are warriors now!"
Feng Su asked anxiously: "What should I do about your safety?"
Li Qinzai slowly pulled out the sheath of the horizontal sword in his hand, and said calmly: "I am also a warrior, maybe not brave enough, but I also have the determination to die in battle!"
Feng Suqing knew that what Li Qinzai said was reasonable, stamped his feet vigorously, turned his head and shouted loudly to order the Li family to divide their troops to support the left and right wings.
Li Qinzai lowered his head and looked at the horizontal sword in his hand. The horizontal sword was a bit heavy. Li Qinzai was not sure whether he could kill the enemy. If he could kill one with his own hands, it would be a one-for-one limit. If he could kill one more, it would be a blood profit. .
There was still a sound of huffing and puffing coming from behind. Li Qinzai turned his head curiously, only to see Zheng Sanlang still standing behind him with his handsome flag held high.
Li Qinzai smiled: "You are the strongest among the soldiers in the army. Why don't you hurry up and support the soldiers? Why are you holding this broken flag?"
Zheng Sanlang raised his head stubbornly: "No, Chief Feng said that the commander's flag is the morale of the army. It must be held high at all times so that the brothers in Pao Ze can see it and know that the commander is still living and dying with the brothers. Only when we kill the enemy do we have peace of mind. end."
"The handsome flag is the military spirit, and the military spirit cannot be defeated!"
