Zhao Wu was immediately alert and ordered the third battalion to be on alert.
The battalion soldiers issued orders to the ordering soldiers. The ordering soldiers got on their horses, held the order flag and galloped along the front of the military formation, shouting: "The command has an order, all armies stand up and be on alert!"
The heads of the spearmen, armor, and swords, shields, and soldiers commanded: "Get up!"
Both infantrymen suddenly changed from sitting on the ground to standing up.
"The whole bunch!"
The sergeants began to tighten their armor leaves and straighten their helmets, making a clattering sound.
"Team up!"
Under the orders of the captains of each group, the spearmen and soldiers lined up in small steps, with the left team on the left and the right team on the right. Hundreds of people lined up in a single row. The two teams on the left and right of the sword and shield Dingdu went around to the left and right sides of the spearmen and soldiers.
, forming five columns and ten rows as a cover.
The messenger, holding a small flag, had already reached the back of the formation in the blink of an eye, and issued an order to the spearman Yidu and the archer Dingdu who were resting: "Command has the order, all armies stand up and be on guard!"
Lancer B all quickly formed a single row of a hundred people. At the head of the capital, under the command of the team leader, they marched two hundred steps in an orderly manner and formed a second array behind Lancer A.
Fifty steps behind the array, the bow and arrow Bingdu formed groups into ten teams, each took out the arrows from the pot and inserted them diagonally into the soil at their feet.
The battalion commander quickly recorded Zhao Wu's military order on the blank document he carried with him, and handed it to the army to draw a pledge, and the army held it in front of Zhao Wu for him to draw and pledge, and then exchanged experiences.
Zhao Wu stared at the changes in the east gate and listened carefully to the movements inside the gate. After a while, he and several soldiers joined the army, and their faces showed excitement at the same time. Zhao Wu added an order: "Report to Commander Xiong immediately, there is something unusual in the east gate.
The enemy seems to be about to attack!"
After the order was sent, the soldiers quickly rushed to the rear camp, and heard a heart-wrenching sound of a winch. The bridge guard slowly lowered down. As the bridge guard fell to the ground with a crash, a high-quality update was opened at the east gate.
A group of soldiers and horses rushed out, led by seven or eight cavalry generals, followed by the brigade of Xuanwu soldiers.
After the Xuanwu Army crossed the moat, they were already within the range of the Lulong Army's bows and arrows. The leading cavalry generals did not form a formation. They shouted and led their men and horses into a head-on collision.
The bows and arrows of the Lulong Army immediately fired at Dutou's order. A hail of arrows passed over the front row of the army and went into the crowd of Xuanwu Army. The range of a hundred steps outward from the base of the suspension bridge belonged to No. 1
Area. One hundred steps to two hundred steps belong to Area 2. This area has been marked as a key shooting area. Therefore, the Xuanwu Army was hit by a dense rain of arrows as soon as they came out of the suspension bridge.
The first batch of the Xuanwu Army to rush into the battle were the sword and shield men, and in the blink of an eye, the dense shields were erected. However, the Xuanwu Army obviously underestimated the accuracy of the Lulong archers, and in addition, there was a large gap during the run.
There were casualties. Two of the first seven or eight cavalry generals were shot down immediately and fell off their horses on the spot. The Xuanwu Army in the rear also screamed in pain, and twenty or thirty people were hit by arrows. But the Xuanwu Army
They have been fighting for a long time. They are the strongest army in the world. Even though Liu Chongba's troops are not the main force, they still charge bravely without fear of death.
In just two hundred steps, the archers missed three shots in a row. The Xuanwu army had already rushed in front of the spearmen's array. After three arrows were fired, the archers' strength and accuracy began to differ, and they could no longer achieve the same order.
So Ding Dudu shouted, "Left team area 1. Right team area 2, spontaneous shooting." The archers of the two teams were ordered to fire arrows according to their own shooting speeds.
The Xuanwu Army's offensive was very fierce. The dozens of swordsmen and shieldmen in front were all wearing heavy armor, and they used their shields to hold the Lulong Army's spears and rushed inward. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they left space and time for the spearmen behind them to catch up.
.The spearmen who came up from behind thrust forward along the gap that the companions in front had desperately rushed out, pressing in against the Lulong Army's spearmen.
The battalion commander Zhao Wu stepped on the Xi chariot and watched the battle. At first, he frowned and was worried. The Weizhou Army was a newly established army, and he was afraid that these recruits would not be able to withstand the enemy's onslaught. In fact, the Lulong Army's spearmen
The casualties were not large. These spearmen were all equipped with luxurious iron armor. The front half of their bodies were covered in iron armor, and they had strong defense capabilities against swords, spears and stabs. What he was afraid of was that these new recruits would be overwhelmed by the enemy's momentum.
Scared, if we retreat, it will easily lead to the collapse of the military formation.
After watching for a while, Zhao Wu felt relieved. The Lu Long army in front was not timid. Not only was he not frightened in the fight with the Xuanwu army, but he was calm and steady. His spear stabbing skills were very good, and he was wearing heavy armor.
On the contrary, it occupies a greater advantage in the battle.
It is true that the Weizhou Army is a newly established army, but the soldiers who make up the Weizhou Army are not new recruits. The more than 5,000 Wei Boya soldiers who surrendered on the Cangzhou battlefield last year are scattered in three recruit training camps in Youzhou, Liucheng, and Huaiyuan. Zhao Wu
Accompanying Xiong Hu, the commander of Zuo Xiang, to the Youzhou training camp, when recruiting recruits at the training camp, they faced two thousand surrendered Wei Boya soldiers. When these surrendered Wei Boya soldiers heard that the recruitment designation was "Weizhou Army",
Most of them rushed to the recruitment points of the Weizhou Army to sign up. If the training department had not strictly ordered that the upper limit of recruiting Wei Boya soldiers for each army should not exceed one thousand, I am afraid that the Wei Boya soldiers in the entire training camp would have rushed to enter the left wing of the Weizhou Army to enlist.
Although only one thousand were selected in the end, this thousand made the entire Weizhou Army officer team quite satisfied. From the capital commander Liu Jinhou to the battalion commander Zhao Wu, they were very happy. One thousand Wei Boya soldiers were divided into the main force.
On the left wing, Zhao Wu's third battalion of infantry was divided into two camps. The first row of spearmen Adu who was engaging the enemy was one of them, and the swordsmen and shields guarding C on both sides were the second.
Now when the fight started, the skills of these experienced and skilled Wei Boya soldiers were immediately revealed: the angle of the spear thrust was extremely tricky, and they could often dodge the enemy's threatening attacks with a slight shake of their bodies. In addition, the Lulong Army's strict
During the formation training, the spearmen and armor in the front row showed their strong military demeanor!
Zhao Wu calmed down and continued to look at the city gate, only to see that troops were still being sent out in a steady stream from the east gate. They ran across the suspension bridge, endured the casualties from the arrow rain, and then rushed towards their own military formation.
After a while, nearly a hundred people had been shot down by bows and arrows on the way of the Xuanwu Army's attack, but there was still a large group of Xuanwu Army attacking outwards. The bows and arrows had to retreat to rest and replenish their arrows at several heavy baggage vehicles.
As soon as the bows and arrows stopped, the Xuanwu Army's offensive became more fierce, with six to seven hundred people pressing up. The fighting area between the two sides gradually expanded to the two wings. Some Xuanwu Army tried to bypass the spearmen array to launch an attack, but they were already covered by the two wings.
The swords and shields began to engage in battle.
Zhao Wu discovered that at the same time, a strict queue began to form behind the Xuanwu Army. It was initially estimated that there were about 500 people, led by a cavalry general, and they were moving north along the moat. These soldiers were carrying bundles of firewood, and some of them were carrying bundles of firewood.
There were many jars hanging on the man's waist, and he walked slowly and quickly around the north of the city.
Zhao Wu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and met with several of his men who had joined the army. Everyone agreed that the Xuanwu Army was going to attack the North Gate and burn the siege equipment.
The messenger quickly rushed to the grove on the side and rear, shaking the flag in his hand while running, and at the same time shouted: "All cavalry attack! Intercept the enemy heading north!"
A figure of a war horse leaped out of the woods, then two, five, then ten, and even more. After leaving the woods, the hundred-horse war horse adjusted slightly, and then began to accelerate, with loud sounds of horse hooves, heading towards Xuanwu
The five hundred men who were encircling the city and heading north ran over quickly with an astonishing momentum.
When the cavalry general of the Xuanwu Army's attack saw the opponent's cavalry appearing, he immediately knew that the attack would not be successful. He immediately ordered a retreat, quickly turned around and ran backwards.
The cavalry adjusted their direction on the periphery, and then charged head-on towards the 500 infantrymen of the Xuanwu Army, hoping to intercept the return path of the 500 infantrymen. The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the Xuanwu Army's infantry team
The form immediately dispersed, running towards the east gate of Yanci like a tangled mass.
Liu Chongba shouted wildly at the east gate of the city: "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!"
The general reminded: "You may accidentally injure your own people..."
Liu Chongba kicked the general staggering, and shouted viciously: "Fire the arrow! Stop the enemy's cavalry from seizing the door!"
More than a hundred archers on the top of the city immediately woke up and hurriedly fired their arrows, shooting a flurry of arrows at the bottom of the city.
The Xuanwu Army that was running back immediately fell down on the outside, with more than ten people with arrows stuck in their bodies, crying and cursing at the top of the city. Being blocked by this wave of arrows, the Lulong Army cavalry made a wide arc to avoid it.
Despite the falling arrows, the Xuanwu Army infantry were finally able to escape towards the suspension bridge.
The cavalry could not continue to intercept, but they were not willing to withdraw the Xuanwu army. Under Dutou's order, the cavalry took out their hand crossbows that had been loaded with arrows and fired at the fleeing Xuanwu army. Because
The distance was very close, and the hand crossbow shot was quite accurate, leaving dozens of lives immediately.
Zhao Wu was not willing to let Xuanwu's army escape. He immediately lost his temper and strode to the front, shouting at the spearmen: "Li Yanzhi, the bastard Li Yanzhi! Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Li Yanzhi immediately ordered: "Jiadu listens to the order! Advance and stab! One, two, three——"
"Kill!——" The first row of armored spearmen suddenly thrust out their spears neatly, and then used their armor to resist the Xuanwu Army's swords and spears. They listened to Li Yanzhi's command and moved forward. The spearmen in the front fell, and the spearmen in the back row followed suit.
Fill position.
"Kill!——" Another row of neat spears thrust out, pressing the Xuanwu army back.
Zhao Wu drew out his horizontal sword, ran to the right team of Sword and Shield Dudu on the right, took over the command from the team leader, and shouted: "Come up with me and seize the bridge!"
The right team of Sword and Shield Du was composed of fifty Wei Boya soldiers who were extremely skilled in martial arts. Under the leadership of Zhao Wu, they launched a counterattack and rolled up like a rainbow.
Ying Jiaohua chased Zhao Wu and shouted angrily: "Zhao Wu, go back to me and return to your command post, otherwise don't blame me for impeaching you after the war!"
Zhao Wu pretended not to hear, ignored him, and was the first to strike with a horizontal knife. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
