Amidst the sound of powerful war drums, 20,000 Song army infantrymen shouted neat slogans, maintained the same speed, and arranged in an urgent military formation, or military column.
"Kill - rush in, step on the formation and defeat the enemy." The captain of the Quanzhou Army Cavalry shouted. The power of the cavalry lies in the charge. If the enemy is forced to a stop step by step, it will be doomed. Therefore, this cavalry The general chose to charge to the death without hesitation, using his less than 5,000 cavalry to attack the 40,000 Song army formation exposed from behind.
We have to fight to determine the outcome!
"Oh - oh -" Four to five thousand Quanzhou cavalry galloped on horseback. A pair of cold eyes stared at the Song army not far away, and at the sixty towering thunder chariots in the Song army's camp.
The fire burned in their hearts, and the fire burned in their eyes.
"Archers shoot -" Qu Wutong coldly issued orders after looking at the rushing cavalry from across the state.
As soon as the ordering soldier beside him waved his order flag, the drums behind the formation immediately began to beat, and then the entire formation calmed down.
"Crossbowman——"
Amidst the sound of neat footsteps, more than two thousand crossbowmen mixed with infantry archers poured out of the Song army's formation. They quickly rushed to the front line along the gap between the swordsmen and spearmen in the front formation and stood there. After a clanking sound, the infantrymen rushed out. The archers held their bows in their hands, and each sharp eagle-feathered arrow was on the string. A pair of cold eyes took a slight glance, and the arrows shot out like rain.
It was so urgent that they no longer had to wait for the order from the military academy. By the time they got the order, all the cavalry from across the state had already arrived.
"shoot--"
The powerful crossbow soldiers also triggered the crossbow machine, and the flying crossbow bolts penetrated the flesh and blood of each body, but what happened next? The crossbow soldiers, who were winding slowly, were useless.
They can only shoot three arrows in battle, and this is still talking about archers. As for crossbowmen, they can be bought and sold with just one shot.
"Swish swish——"
Sharp arrows flew into the air one after another, intertwining into a black cloud of death in the sky. The volleys were scattered randomly. The speed of the archers of a thousand steps varied, and now they were as fast as they could.
So the volley turned into scattering. Deadly raindrops still fell overwhelmingly on the hoods of the charging Quanzhou cavalry. Miserable howls rose into the sky. Fortunately, the Quanzhou cavalry was well-equipped. Although the small leather shield is not foolproof, it has blocked many murderous intentions.
A round of volleys, a round of scattering, and the frantic sound of horse hooves came before us.
"The archer steps back thirty steps and launches!"
"Pikemen, come forward——"
"Heavy shield soldiers, sword players hold up——"
Orders continued to pour out of Qu Wutong's mouth. Amidst the heavy footsteps, more than two thousand spearmen quickly swarmed up, along with thousands of heavy shield soldiers and sword players.
If you are an elite of hundreds of battles, even though the enemy cavalry charges for a short time, the sharp spears can be erected high and piercing the front at a 45-degree angle, and they can still form a dense field in this short period of time. The forest of death. Thousands of thick shields are hidden in it, which can also provide a strong armor for this forest of sharp spears.
But it is a pity that the Song army led by Qu Wutong was a mixture of new and old soldiers, as well as veterans and prisoners, and the quality was seriously uneven. He gave the order, but his troops were unable to do it quickly and accurately.
Even for the archers who retreated, the number of steps they took back was by no means only thirty.
In the Quanzhou cavalry formation, a cold look passed through the eyes of the cavalry captain. The Song army's arrangement definitely did not allow them to adjust perfectly. The reins of the horse were cut diagonally to the side of the cavalry formation, and at the same time he moved the spear in his hand forward.
With a fierce wave, the first wave of charge was about to reach its climax.
The pikemen faced off against the cavalry, but the Quanzhou cavalry were not barbarians outside the Great Wall. They were well-equipped and well-trained, especially the vanguard soldiers at the front, who were brave and fearless, and all wore fine fine armor.
Horses neighed and people howled, and blood spattered and knives flew. The confrontation between the pikemen and the cavalry was basically a life-and-death battle, especially at the first moment when the two armies collided. The pikemen's spears had the advantage in length and could easily
The war horses or the cavalry on horseback were stabbed and killed, but the thin spears and the fragile bodies of the people were also unable to stop the collision of the war horses. While the spearmen stabbed to death and wounded the enemies on horseback, they
Most of them would be knocked down and trampled to death by the rushing horses. The soldiers of both armies were like wheat being harvested in the fields during the summer harvest, lying on the ground. At this moment, human lives seemed to be despicable.
They were worse than the weeds on the border. Every moment, every breath, fresh life disappeared. In just a moment, hundreds of corpses of men and horses fell in front of the formation.
"Kill, kill, kill—"
Thousands of cavalry charged and killed the Song Army's shield wall, which was constantly retreating. One gap after another was opened by the vanguard soldiers who rushed into the formation. The charging pace of the forward team's horses finally slowed down, and the soldiers on the horses were still howling.
, they felt that in this collision of flesh and steel, they had won. But they were no longer able to continue to advance and cut in.
what to do?
Spread out to the left and right to clear the way for the continuation team behind.
Of course, if those in the front row fall down and those in the rear row are on top, there is no way for those in the front row to give way. And there are many like this. In all wars, the first collision between the two armies is always so tragic. The current four
The Five Thousand Cavalrymen are the elite of the Quanzhou Army. They may be on the battlefield for the first time, but they are well-trained and have received "national grace" for a long time. They are never afraid on the battlefield!
"Ouch-ouch——"
The cavalry had their own pride. Seeing that the front army had gained the upper hand in the attack, the cavalry that followed became louder and louder, and their morale became stronger. The bloody charge continued and was fierce, like one wave after another.
The huge wave of waves slammed hard on the weak embankment formed by the Song Army's shield soldiers and pikemen. The first wave was smashed into pieces, and the next wave immediately rushed up again, endlessly...
…
"Brothers, follow me and kill -"
After a short period of reorganization, the Quanzhou cavalry scattered on both wings of the Song army, hundreds of cavalry were like two sharp knives, stabbing hard into the sides of the Song army.
"Boom~" Amidst the frantic sound of horse hooves, the superiority of cavalry and infantry collided fiercely. The weapons struck each other, the horses neighed, and the iron hoofs churned and blood rained down, and limbs flew across the sky. The tragedy of the war was instantly sublimated, like
The dazzling brilliance of the flying fireworks blooms in front of people's eyes.
"Ho--"
The captain of the Quanzhou Army and Cavalry shouted loudly, and stabbed out the spear in his hand like an angry dragon. The sharp spear head whirled and spun. The red tassel under the spear bloomed like a blood lotus, drawing a straight line in the air.
trajectory
The spear pierced through the force easily penetrated the chest of a Song Army Sima. It seemed that the spear head had penetrated into the bone, and the crisp cracking sound was clearly heard. However, the power of the spear did not weaken, and it viciously pierced a corpse.
The chest of a famous Song army soldier——
The Song Army Sima Di's eyes suddenly bulged, and he glared at the Cavalry Commander with a fierce look, with a fierce look in his eyes. He dropped the weapon in his hand to the ground, and tightly grasped the spear that penetrated his body with both hands. He thought about it.
He kept holding on like this, but the reality was skinny. He was cut off from life and could only hold on like this. The captain of the cavalry easily pulled out the spear from the chest of the Sima of the Song Army as soon as his arms crossed. He also joined the army.
The big swordsman behind Sima pulled out his chest, and the tip of the spear brought out a bloody spray.
"Whoops!" A cold light flashed in the rebel army and shot towards the chest of the Cavalry Commander.
"bite--"
He put away his gun in time, and the cavalry captain swung his spear and immediately knocked out the cold arrow. Then he quickly blocked it to the lower right, and with a clear sound of gold and iron, another Song Army officer's spear was struck by him.
Swing far away.
He looked up and saw a Song Army infantry general roaring at him at the top of his lungs with a ferocious look on his face.
"snort!"
The Cavalry Commander grunted, shook his spear with both hands, and was about to pounce, when he saw several soldiers behind him sprint out. The two spears accurately blocked the Song Army infantry general's thrust again, and the other three cavalrymen followed.
Then, three sharp spear points flashed through three dazzling rays of light, piercing the chest and abdomen according to the steps.
The infantry general of the Song Army tried his best to dodge one shot. He drew his sword with his left hand and knocked another one away, but in the end he could not dodge the last shot. The cold blade of the gun peeled open his lower abdomen like a melon, and blood flowed out in an instant.
, as the spear was drawn out, the man fell to the ground slumped.
"kill--"
…
…
The tragic sounds of fighting continued to be transmitted into Dingshan County along with the drifting breeze.
Han Jun's tall figure stood on the school ground in Xiguan, Dingshan, listening to the sound with a solemn expression. Although he could not see it with his eyes, it did not stop him from listening with his heart——
Every change in the sound of fighting was carefully remembered in his heart, and he savored it carefully. The drums of the Song Army outside the city became more and more urgent. Han Jun knew that it was the Song Army's situation that was getting worse and worse.
I'm anxious, there's confusion in the fighting sound, are they killing those large machines like Pili Chao?
The sounds of fighting in the sky became louder and louder, the sounds reaching his ears became clearer and clearer, and Han Jun's always stern face became softer and softer.
He climbed onto the west city gate tower, and the surging moat flowed from beneath his feet, rippling with cool water.
"Report!" After an unknown amount of time, Han Jun's thoughts were brought back by a long notification. The person who came was a scout.
"How's the battle going?"
"General, the Song army has been in chaos in the battle outside the North Gate, and our army's chances of victory are certain."
Han Jun said nothing, he had thought of this a long time ago. Otherwise, wouldn’t the governor’s plans these days have been in vain?
"Drum roll! The whole army attacks -"
Han Jun ordered fiercely, looking at the eight thousand elites standing solemnly in the school ground with piercing eyes.
The Song Army's scouts did not correctly detect the strength of the Quanzhou Army in Dingshan County. It was not five or six thousand men in one battalion, but twelve thousand men in two battalions.
"Kill..." A surging cry of killing rang out from the west city gate. Eight thousand Quanzhou troops rushed out of Dingshan County, from west to north, flanking the left flank of the Song Army's front army. A heavy left hook was about to fall.
The fate of the military formation that Qu Wutong worked hard to maintain. What's more, on the right side of the front of the Song army, the bluff of two thousand Quanzhou troops restrained one arm of the Song army... (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature,
