Six hundred and ninetieth chapters dignified battle
Putting yourself in his shoes, who can do better than Zhu Biao?
Maybe those who are arrogant dare to say that they can do better, and those who think highly of themselves will still despise Zhu Biao. There are no heroes, so Zhuzi became famous!
But Ling Jun is neither arrogant nor arrogant, nor does he think highly of himself. He really feels that he is not as strong as Zhu Biao, and not as good at fighting as Zhu Biao. [This article comes from]
The lessons learned from the Provincial Governor's Battle were still vivid in his mind. How could he not worry about himself?
Is there much difference between an army of 70,000 and an army of 100,000? Not much.
The Song army could easily defeat 70,000 of its own troops, but couldn't it defeat 100,000?
Ling Jun could only put on a majestic appearance to hide his inner anxiety and fear.
Ling Jun was afraid of both sides. How could Ling Jun know that Zhu Biao was also worried?
His own family knew his own affairs, and Zhu Biao knew exactly how much fighting power he had in his hands. Of course, he had no way of defeating the opposing army. Using 40,000 refugees as bait, he could easily win over 100,000 Zhou troops.
But Zhu Biao couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to ruin his last bit of reputation.
If he really used the refugees gathered by Liyang as bait, he would have completely broken through his moral bottom line. In that flood, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and the people have already labeled themselves Yuan Shikai - mass massacre, and the system has also
Then he raised his reputation to 90+, which was completely resounding throughout the world. Unfortunately, nine out of ten, it was a bad reputation.
The subsequent impact is that the system has also put a hat on itself, also called "civilian slaughter". The effect is that the possibility of being assassinated by the masters of the Central Plains' righteous world within a year increases tenfold!
This was just an assassination attempt from the Central Plains side, not counting the reaction from Tianjing side. It really made his balls ache!
Zhu Biao absolutely did not want the refugee to be used as bait. In that case, even if he was asked about it back in Northern Han Dynasty, he would not be able to respond. This is a complete violation of morality!
But without using this method, it was really difficult for Zhu Biao to think of how to use less than 40,000 infantry and cavalry to deal with the 100,000 enemy troops in a short period of time. Perhaps, this time the refugees would have to make sacrifices on the battlefield. They would no longer be able to
There is no longer a stable life of living behind the veterans.
At dawn the next day, the horn sounded. The whole army stood up and buried the pots to make rice. Suddenly a trace of fish belly white appeared between the sky and the earth, the darkness quietly pulled away, and morning came slowly.
At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, it was already bright. The scouts came to report that the Zhou army in the county had rushed out.
At Chen hour, the sun rises to the southeast.
In the fields of Wujing County, more than 100,000 people from both armies lined up to wait.
The Zhou army pressed directly from the county seat to the county seat. Zhu Biao was not afraid of fighting. He was unwilling to let go of the morale he had finally built up.
There are two more states ahead of Shizhou, and only in Bozhou can we see the shadow of the Tang army. The journey of thousands of miles is only half way.
Therefore, I wish Biao to always remain "invincible" and "invincible".
If the enemy is guarding the city, it is natural to avoid it. But the enemy has already come out of the city. Before the battle of Zhouzhi, Zhu Biao cannot retreat this time.
Perhaps, if the refugees also suffer, they will maintain a higher degree of unity with the Chinese military.
The hunting wind was rustling, and the soldiers of both armies were silent.
Chen An is on the left, Zhang Nan is in the middle, Wu Boniu is on the right, and Lu Tong is in the front. The four battalions of infantry are the main force of the Song Army's infantry.
Seven thousand cavalrymen roamed behind, led by Zhu Biao himself. In front were three thousand infantry troops led by Ren Pingnan.
Qu Wutong's remaining troops, together with Wang Jiuling, Jiao Ming and others, led 40,000 refugees, and nearly 50,000 people were guarding the camp. Of course, they also formed an organic formation. When an order was issued from the front phalanx, the troops in the camp were to Unconditional and absolute obedience. The mascot of the Song Dynasty King is in charge.
"Drum roll! March in!"
Zhu Biao took the first step and used 30,000 people to attack 100,000 people.
The army lined up in a wide distance of 800 steps. They advanced steadily in a pointed cone formation with majestic momentum.
The sound of war drums, footsteps, the shouts of soldiers, and the clang of soldiers' armor all merged into one sound wave, like a huge hammer hitting the earth, making a shocking and thrilling sound.
Ling Jun's inner anxiety became more intense. Will a veteran like Zhu Biao seek death? The answer is obviously no. But in this case, what is the purpose of using 30,000 people to attack his 40,000-strong army? Ling Jun Junsi thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he was beating a drum in his heart.
One hundred thousand Zhou troops, more than 80,000 infantry, 15,000 cavalry, and 2,000 Lingjun soldiers.
"Command the cavalry to attack -" test the truth.
"No!" Ling Qi immediately waved the flag.
The five thousand cavalrymen surged like a flood that burst an embankment, covering the sky and covering the earth. They charged out with smoke, dust and wind and thunder, howling and roaring all the way, and the momentum was astonishing.
Zhu Biao immediately ordered the army to stop.
"Beat the drum..."
"Instruct Lu Tong camp to take cover. The crossbowmen are ready to shoot."
Zhu Biao's orders were passed on one after another, and the drum soldiers, flag soldiers, and order soldiers were as busy as fluttering butterflies.
Lu Tong placed the cull captured in the First World War of Zhouzhi at the front, and the two-foot-three-foot-long Juma gun was placed on the cull.
There are 5,000 people in Lu Tong camp, all of them wearing heavy armor. The formation is 250 steps long, with 200 people per line, a total of 25 lines.
At first glance, it looks like a very simple rectangular array, but except for the first five rows, the remaining twenty columns are all vertical.
After Zhu Biao's victory in the battle of Qianjiang, he immediately spent a thousand gold to buy a formation map and trained non-stop until today. The battle of Zhouzhi was the first test of his strength, and today's battle is the real test.
Although this military formation has a lofty status in the history of Chinese wars, it is a small formation with few soldiers. Most of the war examples it is applied to involve thousands of enemies and ourselves, or at most 10,000 or 20,000 people fighting each other. The proportion is extremely astonishing. But in a large army fighting battle, will the effect be as good?
That formation was extremely targeted, but it also had absolute flaws in long-range strikes. So Zhu Biao really didn't dare to use it for serious stabbing purposes. In the first battle with Zhouzhi, he only applied it to melee combat. During the battle, the effect was indeed very good. The small team of sergeants fought with remarkable results.
This time, the risk is greater, and Zhu Biao can only take a bigger risk.
"Creak, creak..." A Zhangqiang bow was drawn. The bow string was tightened and the bow arm made a twisting sound.
In the middle of the five thousand people, there were five horizontal columns and one thousand archers, which were all the long-range strike force of the Lu Tong Battalion.
The counterweight ratio of 20% is not high, but if the longbows held by these thousand-step archers are all powerful bows worth more than one stone and five buckets, it would be absolutely amazing.
The long bow is the unified name for the foot bow, just like the short bow represents the riding bow.
The standard production materials are all eucalyptus wood. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful for thirty years, and the weapons are sufficient. They are all made of first-class materials. And because of the differences between this era and the earth, the long bow in the Central Plains army has the lowest drawing force.
They all start from one stone. For example, the six-double bow, eight-double bow, etc. in China's Tang and Song Dynasties would never appear in the army.
One stone with the force of two fights is a hard bow, one stone with the strength of five fights to two stones is a strong bow. Longbows with two stones or more are unlikely to be popular among the general army. Only military generals and martial arts masters can pull such a strong bow.
move.
Because the bow arms are lined with animal horns and sinews, the strength and toughness of this bow are very good, and its range can reach up to 300 steps. A one-stone longbow can also shoot at 150 steps.
Between one hundred and eighty steps, it can effectively kill at a distance of one hundred and twenty steps. In this range, the power is very impressive.
The configuration of military infantry archers generally has fixed rules, and there are a lot of troubles. First of all, it requires specific tools to use. Because it is difficult to draw the bow. Archers need to wear a thumb ring when drawing the bow, and put the thumb ring on the thumb to draw the string.
, In addition, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger should also be covered with finger covers made of leather to prevent damage to the fingers. Secondly, during use, a large number of bow strings and arrows need to be equipped. The draw force of a strong bow is extremely high.
The loss of the bow string is also large. And depending on the shooting target, the size, shape, and weight of the arrow shaft and arrow head are different, so various arrow branches must be specially manufactured.
Generally speaking, there are two categories: white feather arrows and carved feather arrows. The former is the main type and the latter is supplementary. Because even the most common carved feather arrows have extremely powerful lethality and armor-breaking effects.
Using a longbow requires far more maintenance and equipment than a sword, gun, and shield soldier. The strong bow is the elite and best among them.
Zhu Biao screened the entire army and found only 1,300 to 400 strong archers, accounting for only about 20% of the total.
Therefore, Lu Tongying's 5,000-man army had 1,000 archers, which was a small proportion but high quality.
Lu Tong visually measured the distance between the two sides, which was the most basic ability of a general, and then made a gesture to the flag soldiers beside him.
The roar on the battlefield is so loud now that, let alone talking face to face, even the sound of war drums is drowned in the sound of galloping hooves of war horses.
The army commanders of the strong archers have been paying close attention to the eye-catching command flag in front. Their sight will be blocked by the soldiers in front. In addition to feeling the shaking of the ground and the roar filling their ears, the movements of the enemy cavalry in front of them are constantly changing.
Nothing is known.
Everything and all actions are completely controlled by the command flag in the army. When the commander of the army saw the former military command flag changing color, he immediately shouted loudly at the command flag soldiers around him. Several command flag soldiers were in the army.
The flags in the formation were vigorously waving to draw bows and prepare to launch.
The thousand-step archer raised his strong bow.
The two sides are one hundred and fifty steps apart.
Lu Tong raised his arms and shouted wildly: "Let... let go..."
In front of the formation, the high command flag swayed in the air.
A thousand archers who had just drawn their strong bows released their bow strings at the same time.
In an instant, the arrows were like rain, the arrows were like locusts, and the sky became dark.
The Shizhou cavalry galloped over. When they saw arrows whizzing from the sky, they immediately leaned over and raised their left arms with leather shields. When the shields were lifted, the arrows arrived.
With the dull sound of arrows entering the body, the war horses neighed miserably, the soldiers howled, and people and animals were struck by arrows one after another. Countless horses' hooves that came after them immediately trampled them to pieces of flesh and blood.
Long arrows flew in the air, blocking out the sunlight in the sky.
Shizhou's five thousand cavalry were still galloping, and there were countless casualties.
The leading captain continued to raise his sword and shouted: "Come on, speed up and rush in..."
But no one heard what he was shouting. Facing the long arrows roaring in front of them, the Shizhou cavalry felt fear and despair from the bottom of their hearts. The array of arrows on the opposite side was uniform and as dense as a violent storm, leaving people with nowhere to go.
Hide. More and more Shizhou cavalrymen are hit by arrows and fall off their horses. More and more war horses fly up in the air. Once the cavalrymen within the range of the strong bow are hit, there is almost no hope of survival. They are charging cavalrymen.
.
Being injured and falling off a horse is death!
Finally, a cavalryman Qu took the lead and rushed out of the arrow formation, only thirty steps away. If Lu Tong camp had 6,000 people, Zhu Biao would have equipped them with 500 crossbowmen. At this time, the crossbowmen would
It's time to exert force. However, Lu Tong camp only has 5,000 troops and only 1,000 strong archers. Their five front rows only have oars, heavy shields and long field rifles!
The Shizhou cavalry who rushed out of the arrow cover let out an angry roar and quickly urged their horses to increase their speed to the maximum.
"Prepare for impact!" The cold voice of Sima, the leader of the army, sounded from the front of the military column, behind the oars.
Two rows of oars, two rows of cavalry, and one row of swordsmen and axes, this is the military strength at the front of the Lutong camp. In the camp, two uncles carrying axes stretched out their hands to each other at the same time, with dark faces and a naive smile.
"Goodbye until death."
"Take care of yourself."
"Brothers, let's go, let's go..." The two of them looked back, raised their arms and shouted, each with their own swordsmen and axemen, ready to rush to the front row.
Lu Hao looked extremely nervous. His eyes widened, he held the horse's reins tightly with both hands, and looked at the battlefield with all his attention. The corners of his mouth were trembling, and he kept muttering: "It's close. It's close, bump, bump."
, bumped into..."
This is General Zhonglang, the leader of the Shizhou Cavalry.
"Boom...boom..."
The Shizhou cavalry jumped up on their horses and flew towards the giant shield with its bloody mouth open. The horse-repelling spear protruded, and the sharp blade showed a bloodthirsty ferocity. One cavalry collided with the other and the other died.
.These Shizhou cavalry know their fate, but they are powerless to change it. Only by reopening the oars in front of them will there be a glimmer of hope. So both sides are fighting desperately!
The heavy shield soldiers whose attributes were increased by Zhu Biao were carrying huge sculls tightly one by one, with logs thicker than a strong man's thigh supporting them at the back. They turned into a wall of copper and iron. With the cooperation of horse guns,
Down, swallowing up every living life without hesitation. Blood spurts out.
Charge, impact, death.
Group after group of Shizhou cavalry rushed out of the arrow formation. With no way out and full of hatred, they gnashed their teeth and collided with the Song army's formation. Who should they curse? The Song army? Or the one who commanded them to die?
General?
Blood filled the front of the battle. The charging Shizhou cavalry gradually blurred their minds in the blood. Stimulated by the death of their comrades and their own mission, they were like a group of hungry wolves with red eyes, surrounding the huge prey and began to attack.
, tear.
And what they left behind was destined to be a mess of bloody human and animal remains.
The sound of killing shook the sky. The sound of war drums soared into the sky, shaking the sky.
The oar shattered, and two Song Army heavy shield soldiers were killed alive. One of them flew in the air and landed heavily in front of the Army Sima's eyes. The blood spurted from the mouths of the dead Song soldiers stained the Army Sima's boots red.
The Army Sima rushed out, facing the Shizhou cavalry who followed them through the gap, clutching their spears and rushing out.
The Shizhou cavalry used long spears. With the momentum of the horses, the long spears were shaken into a ball, and five or six spearheads were thrust towards Jun Sima. The Jun Sima turned around and gave way the moment the spear tip came close to him.
Aim for the galloping horse's neck and stab it.
Blood splattered and the horses neighed in pain.
Behind Army Sima, a soldier with a sword and shield rolled up, with the shield blocking his head. The Yanling saber turned and slashed horizontally, immediately cutting off the horse's front hooves. The war horse fell to the ground, and the cavalry on it fell. Army Sima
Another soldier shouted loudly, raised his sword, and chopped off the cavalryman before the body rolled in the air fell.
He raised the knife and dropped it.
The roar on the battlefield gradually weakens, the clouds in the sky are blown away by the wind, and gradually become thinner, and the bloody fighting becomes more fierce and fierce.
Two thousand of the five thousand Shizhou cavalry returned. The Song army suffered very few casualties. The attrition figure sent to Zhu Biao was only 200, including hundreds of seriously injured people.
The galloping war horses collided with the sculls, which was an absolutely difficult test for the heavy shield soldiers of the Song Army. Even if there were horse guns in front and log pillars in the back, once or twice, the force of the rebound was enough to make
The heavy shield soldier was seriously injured or even died.
Ling Jun's face was solemn. The casualties of three thousand cavalry gave him a sufficient understanding of the power of the Song army's array.
Lu Hao rode up to Ling Jun with a grim look on his face, "General, the frontal defense of the Song army is amazing, and the general is powerless." The cavalry must not rush into the formation anymore, otherwise the team will be crippled.
"I will let the retreating formation press forward. The cavalry will just keep an eye on Song's counter-cavalry." Ling Jun did not force Lu Hao. When the cavalry failed to charge forward, he could see Zhu Biao's intention of forming such a military formation.
The cavalry hid behind the infantry formation, and it looked like they were blocking the way. But in fact, they were able to better protect their own wings.
Because the Song army had cavalry, Ling Jun himself did not dare to attack the Song army's flank with the Shizhou cavalry that failed to charge head-on.
Showing your flank to the enemy is like a meat bun beating a dog, and you will never come back.
If the Shizhou Cavalry were to attack the two flanks of the Song Army, their charging direction would be perpendicular to the Song Army's formation. In that case, if the Song Army's rear cavalry attack, wouldn't they also attack the flanks of the Shizhou Cavalry?
In a cavalry fight, if someone's flank or rear guard is attacked, it will be a defeat that even gods can't reverse.
Ling Jun saw this clearly, and was shocked to realize the deeper meaning of Zhu Biao's formation. At the same time, he also understood the fact that if he wanted to fight the Song Army, only the infantry regiment would fight today. So.
He had just neatly asked the cavalry to step aside, letting Lu Hao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..."
The war drums of Shizhou Army rumbled.
The front army consisted of 30,000 people, and tens of thousands of people stood in a row. Flags were flying, blocking the view, and the specific formations could not be seen clearly. They formed a "pin" shape and pressed towards the Song army with great momentum.
The purple battle flag and purple uniform look like a rising purple cloud from a distance.
In the Song army formation, all the troops were motionless.
Lu Tong adjusted his military ranks in a small area. The second line of scull and horse rifles moved forward to the first line, and the first line of heavy shield soldiers and spearmen moved back...
