Chapter 5651: The trapped beast still fights and breaks the formation
Black Robe laughed and clapped her hands, "I almost forgot these people. The first batch of thirty chariots had impacted, and there were infantry following them to the Zhou army formation. Although the impact of the second batch of 50 chariots was destroyed by knife plates, the infantry behind were also on the battlefield. They were besieged in the Zhou army formation and thought they would die. However, Ei Lai got out of the car and fought in the infantry battle and directly entered the Zhou army formation. This made the Shang army, who had already died, see hope of life again. They were already trapped beasts, but now they can come to the center to bloom. With their cooperation, Ei Lai can enter the formation more easily."
Dou Peng nodded with satisfaction and said, "No, these infantrymen are the first warriors of the Shang army to take the vanguard. If I expected it to be good, many of them should be like evil people, and they should win over the tribe's tribe."
The ancestor nodded and said, "That is, according to King Zhou's policy, whether it is the Dongyi tribe or the Ying tribe in the west, they will be regarded as their own people in the Shang Dynasty. He vigorously promoted Fei Lian, father and son of the Evil, and made them ministers of the Shang Dynasty. He could decide the national affairs of the Shang Dynasty, and even offend the same nobles of the Shang Dynasty for them. This made Evil grateful. In the past, the Ying tribe and Fang Guo did not regard the Shang Dynasty as their own people, but were just conquered and driven by the Shang Dynasty. But from the Evil, King Zhou was like his rebirth of his parents. All of their clans were willing to fight for it. The vanguard warriors just now were the tribesmen of the Ying tribe, and they would rather die than surrender. Finally, they insisted on the time when Evil came to charge in person."
"These soldiers of the Winning Army immediately fought back, holding sharp blades and attacked the Zhou army who rushed over without fear of death. These Zhou army's tiger soldiers, even facing thousands of troops, were finally shaken under the offensive of the Shang army's desperate and even proactive attempt to seek common ground. Many Zhou army soldiers who were attacking the Chinese Shang army were frantically attacked by the Shang army in these formations, and were shot dead on the spot on the back, swords and spears on their waists and abdomen, and their bodies were even standing in a standing position when they died."
Black Rou frowned: "They are so arrogant, dare to turn their backs to the Shang army in the formation?"
The ancestor sighed: "Behind them, there were one or two rows of Zhou army soldiers guarding them. However, these soldiers were attacked by Shang army soldiers forever and opened a bloody road. Some Shang army soldiers pierced more than a dozen blood holes on their spears, and still attacked forward. They swung out a sword to cut off the throats or arms of several people. With this kind of fierce and fearless and death-ending style, they could make one or two small gaps in the array of Zhou army. As long as there was a little chance, the subsequent Shang army swordsmen rushed into these small holes and pierced them with the sharp bronze sword in their hands to their heart's content, cutting the Zhou army tiger soldiers who were facing their backs to them and defending the periphery."
"In this era, there were no iron armor from later generations. The so-called armor soldiers were just wearing leather armor. At most, they were hung with some bronze armor outside the leather armor to enhance protection. Such armor could not block the attack of the exquisite bronze swords. The tigers of the Zhou army fell one after another, and the originally indestructible formation also showed a small chaos."
"And at this time, evil came, and had already crossed the obstacles in front of the formation, stepped on the corpses that were split on the ground, turned over the knife plates that were red with blood, but still exuded murderous aura and death intention, and rushed straight to the Zhou army's formation. The archers who originally wanted to go forward to shoot not only could not shoot arrows, but even had to face these Shang army swordsmen who rushed towards him like a ferocious god. In a panic, they threw down the bows and arrows in their hands, pulled out the protective waist knife and short axe, and rushed towards the Shang army swordsmen who were more than ten steps away from the opposite side. The archers and civilians in the back row retreated one after another, dodging to dodge the shield defense line behind the Zhou army. As long as they retreated into the formation, they could stabilize the array and allow the Zhou army's soldiers to reorganize the line."
Dou Chou frowned: "So, these Zhou army archers, those who charged forward, also have the determination to die to buy time for the subsequent reorganization of the defense line?"
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, these archers are also the tiger men of the Zhou army. This kind of exercise from attack to defense is also very proficient. It has been used on the battlefield many times. It is worth the sacrifice of a small number of people in exchange for the successful transformation of the formation. From the moment they rushed out of the formation, they made such preparations. However, these Zhou army archers and civilians ignored that there were hundreds of Shang army dead soldiers in the formation behind them. It is not safe to retreat into the formation now."
"Sure enough, when a large number of archers just retreated into the formation, they were greeted by dozens of bronze swords stained with flesh and bone fragments. The masters of the swords were covered in blood and looked like ghosts. They were slashing with swords like swords. The Zhou army's hands, holding long weapons in their hands, had no time to make an effective counterattack, and even the weapons in their hands could not be raised, so they pierced their bodies and fell down with hatred. The archers' retreating actions further aggravated the chaos of the formation. They collided with the swords of their own side. Everyone could not move, and almost all became prey slaughtered by the Shang army dead soldiers who rushed to the near distance."
Dou Peng laughed: "It was so easy to kill. I didn't expect that the discipline and dense formation of the Zhou army have become a fatal shortcoming. If the Shang army swordsmen are so close, they can't have room to use for a large and heavy long weapons. However, the number of soldiers in the Shang army in the formation is insufficient, and it's okay to occasionally launch a sudden attack. If it takes a long time, they will still be surrounded and killed by the Zhou army. These swordsmen are attacking the Zhou army standing outside. Wouldn't the Zhou army in the inner formation come up to help?"
The ancestor said in a deep voice: "There are hundreds of Shang army swordsmen who are attacking the Zhou army, desperately attacking the Zhou army, which is attacking forward, and even picking up swords, spears and other weapons on the ground, and throwing at the Zhou army in front of these arrays to stop them from advancing. Some swordsmen wanted to repeat the success of the Zhou army's side back before attacking the front line of Zhou army, and rushed to the Zhou army's array, wanting to fight in close combat, but these Zhou army were arraying with shields, and spears were propelled like forest land. Twenty or thirty brave Shang army swordsmen, who were not brave enough to hit these Zhou army's shields, pierced the spears, and pecked them, and were directly stabbed into a bloody man and a hornet's nest, and fell to the ground and died."
