() "Drive, drive, drive..." Amidst the sound of horse beating, a whole battalion of more than 10,000 Yan troops jumped into the Ming army's infantry formation. The gaps in the central yang turned out to be a very large empty tank.
place.
"Hua Hua Hua..." The Ming army cavalry began to block the gap. With the entry of ten thousand cavalry, the infantry arrays on both sides changed rapidly again. Liu Yu stood on the platform of the Chinese army and looked to the left and right.
, the dozens of dozens of gaps on both sides have been completely eliminated by the changes in the array.
Spears, powerful crossbows, giant shields and weapons once again gathered together, as if the changes just now had not occurred at all. In the sound of neat footsteps, two thousand crossbowmen poured out from the rear array, following the spearmen in the front array.
, the sword and shield soldiers quickly rushed to the front line and stood in the gap. Gathering together the previous thousand crossbowmen, there was a mighty mass of three thousand people!
Although the range of the crossbow is a little longer in this time and space, the speed of the horses is also a little faster in comparison, and the average strength of the bustle is also stronger. However, the three arrows are still applicable in the battle, and the soldiers cannot shoot for a long time.
arrow.
Arrows were raining down for a while, it was quite intense but short-lived, just a few times from the beginning to the end. After shooting the bow and arrow, Liu Yu was not afraid, because there was still a crossbow!
After a clanging sound, the three thousand crossbowmen in front of the formation were all attentive, holding their crossbows in their hands, and each sharp crossbow arrow was buckled on the string and placed in the arrow trough. The three thousand pairs were indifferent.
His eyes were fixed on the billowing dust and smoke coming from the opposite side, and his ears were listening to the orders!
Shoot the arrow"
Seeing the military flag, the captain in front of the formation shouted coldly, and the drummer behind him suddenly dropped his raised right arm.
"Boom!" The eyes of the three thousand crossbowmen flashed, and they faced forward, holding the powerful crossbows in their hands tightly, with cold murderous intent in their dark eyes.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
One arrow after another slanted across the sky, and countless shadows overlapped and intertwined into a dark cloud of death in the sky.
The dark clouds of death naturally brought down deadly raindrops, and arrows rained down densely on the heads of the charging Yan army cavalry.
The round shields were held above the heads of the Yan army's cavalry, but at the moment when the arrows fell, a series of screams rose into the sky. Although the round leather shields were not guaranteed to be foolproof, they also served as a warning to the Yan army.
The cavalry blocked many murderous attempts.
The overwhelming rain of arrows is the largest lethal weapon in cold weapon warfare. Even ordinary masters have to run away under the cover of this rain of arrows. This is equivalent to today's cannons, but its deterrence is more than its destructive power.
A rain of arrows is just an appetizer, and no one expects a rain of arrows to defeat others. If they are beaten to death, they will only dampen their morale. The real damage is not as serious as imagined.
Amidst the wild sound of horse hooves, the Yan Army cavalry is still approaching rapidly. The Yan Army infantry follows closely behind, the cavalry opens a gap, the infantry follows closely, and the infantry and cavalry are in harmony. The key is that the cavalry makes a good start and can open a gap in one fell swoop.
But if the door is not opened beautifully, even if the Yan army's cavalry is as strong as a dragon, it can only be beaten and bloody in front of the Ming army's "huge shield like a wall, like a forest of spears".
The Yan army's cavalry struck one after another like waves, and they were all smashed into pieces in front of the Ming army's formation, which was as steady as a rock.
Behind the Ming army is the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. Although these three princes have a bad reputation for the Forbidden Army, they have all received the education of loyal emperors since joining the army. Now that the third prince is in the central army, safety is entrusted to them. Who dares to retreat?
Don’t be afraid of being poked in the back by your comrades!
In a short period of time, nearly a thousand horses and cavalry fell in the sprinting battlefield. Murong Lin turned a blind eye to the Yan army's losses and remained unmoved, while the Yan army's tactics continued.
There is a time lag between the launch of crossbows and crossbows. It is enough for the archers to fire arrows but they cannot last long, and the opponent's crossbow formation cannot last long. If the rain of arrows continues, the first one to be unable to support must be the Ming army, not themselves.
.
Horses hit by arrows and corpses of the Yan army gradually spread all over the battlefield, but there was still no end to the waves. The cavalry with superb riding skills was not far in front of the Ming army's formation, where the most powerful crossbows were. They quickly attacked the Yan army.
He fired an arrow from the position, then easily turned the horse's head sideways, diverting the flow to the left and right.
Then circle back to your own back formation, and another wave will gather and form in a blink of an eye. The three waves are superimposed together, forming a thicker and heavier wave.
In the Ming army formation, sweat appeared on the foreheads of countless archers, their strong arms began to feel sore, and a trace of fatigue inadvertently flashed across their determined eyes.
"Da da da..." Amidst the thundering sound of horse hooves, a huge sea of people rushed towards the Ming army formation in front of them, urgently slapping down mercilessly.
Although there are brave soldiers on both sides, they know they will die, but they have no regrets. However, each of these heroic soldiers is the most precious essence of one party or a country, so they will not be wasted so easily.
As early as the Yan Army's trumpet sounded, Liu Yu raised his hand lightly. The archers who had lost their combat effectiveness in front of the formation retreated from the front line one after another. They retreated directly to the center of the formation to accompany the cavalry, and recovered with all their strength.
Arm strength, they still need to adjust for the next battle.
The Yan Army cavalry was no longer hindered, and the speed of the galloping cavalry team increased even more. The cavalry in the front row raised their weapons and began to shout crazily. It was as if the Ming army in front of them was just putting a group of people on the chopping block.
You can eat as much meat as you want, and the crowd has fallen into a kind of madness.
Rows of pikemen approached, and the giant shields like a wall were arranged more compactly. The heavy armored infantry holding broadswords and halberds walked towards the back of the pikemen step by step.
The spearmen faced off against the cavalry. Most of the generals of the Yan army were powerful men. To avenge their past humiliation, the generals personally rushed to the front line. Coupled with their own personal guards, their strength was not weak. These powerful people
, as arrows impact crazily, their impact is extraordinary.
The spear has the advantage of length, and can easily pierce and kill war horses or cavalry on horseback. But these days, the cavalry used as armored vehicles are not so easy to kill. The thin spear and the fragile body of the person
It was also unable to stop the horses from charging and galloping.
While the pikemen stabbed to death and wounded the cavalry on horseback, most of them themselves would be knocked down and trampled to death by the rushing horses. The horses neighed, people screamed, blood splattered on the spears, and the pikemen and cavalry were stunned.
Confrontation is basically a life-for-life fight against death.
At this moment, the lives of the soldiers of the two armies are as low as ants. At this moment, human life is as low as the weeds on the roadside. Every moment, every breath, fresh life is disappearing. In just a moment, in front of the battle
Thousands of human and horse corpses fell down.
The sharp broadsword slashed at the horse's head, and the heavy halberd swept out regardless of everything. The spear and shield alone could not stop the cavalry's charge. Their role was only to block the charge of Hu Qi.
For those who don't have many experts, in the battle between the two kingdoms, if the infantry fights the cavalry, don't expect to be able to compete with the experts. Take the enemy general's head. The heavy armored infantry wearing heavy armor and holding a broadsword are the mainstay of strength.
When the speed that the cavalry relied on for a living was no longer there, and when they faced heavy armored infantry covered in thick iron sheets, even though many cavalry still had many advantages, they lost the most basic speed advantage and fell into a trap.
The quagmire of strangulation will also be doomed.
The battle was intense. Compared with the losses of the Yan Army's cavalry, the Ming Army's losses seemed greater. After all, in the age of cold weapons, it was really difficult for infantry to face cavalry head-on.
The corpses of both the enemy and ours were so mixed that it was difficult to distinguish. The ratio of battle losses between Yan Army cavalry and Ming Army infantry was about one to two or even one to three. At this moment, Liu Yu truly saw the magnificent scene of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting.
Only then did I see the cruelty of the cold weapon age.
Time passed little by little, and the blood became thicker and thicker. Compared with the tragic scene in front of the formation, the Ming cavalry in the formation were completely different. The battlefield was already full of bloodshed, but they still waited quietly. They
Although they were always waiting for the order to attack, in the end no one was killed and no horse was injured.
Although the fight in front of you was extremely brutal, the cavalry of the Ming army did not move, and the infantry of the Yan army rushed up, but they did not dare to attack with all their strength. After all, the cavalry of the Ming army was still defending the east, and they rashly pressed all the troops forward.
, it is really unwise. I can only say that the war has not yet entered its climax.
Different from Murong Lin's idea, Liu Yu wanted to use infantry to first defeat the opponent's cavalry, and then use the cavalry in the formation to counterattack. He wanted to lead a relaxed army and quickly defeat Yan's tired army.
Defeat the opponent's cavalry, and then attack the opponent's infantry.
The idea is very good, and the current war is developing in the direction Liu Yu wants. With the Ming army's best efforts to block it, the Yan army's cavalry is getting more and more exhausted, and its losses are also increasing.
