Zhan Wudi yelled and cursed in front of the two armies. Seeing that no one from the Feng army dared to come out to fight, the morale of Ning's army increased greatly. They shouted for kill and roared one after another. Seeing the morale of his own soldiers rising, Zhan Wushuang immediately asked people to beat the war drums and prepare.
The whole army attacks.
Boom, boom, boom - as the war drums sounded, Ning's army understood that it was about to attack the enemy. Ning's soldiers stopped shouting in confusion and formed a neat square formation. The soldiers held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.
, hitting the shield rhythmically with the tip of the spear, making bursts of harsh roars. People matched the rhythm of hitting the shield and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill--"
Although this Ning army was defeated by Wu Guang and Zhan Hu's ambush, and only the remaining soldiers were defeated, the momentum they unleashed at this time was still shocking to the soul. Even Ziying on the opposite side could not help but frown. But now he
We can't retreat, we can only fight. Wu Guang and General Zhan Hu defeated the enemy army with only 50,000 soldiers. He has 100,000 men, how can he lose the prestige of Feng Army?
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and shouted to the heralds on his left and right: "Line up! Fight!"
As Ziying's order continued to be conveyed, the war drums on the Tianying Army's side beat louder. The soldiers, like the Ning Army, beat their shields with their weapons while shouting: "Wind, wind, wind——"
Not long after, the square formations of both armies began to move forward. Ziying and Zhan Wushuang made the same choice, using the fish scale formation.
The characteristic of the fish scale formation is that the entire army is concentrated in the center and divided into several small square formations. From a distance, it looks like fish scales, layer after layer. This formation adopts a center breakthrough strategy. If the entire army is compared to a palm,
, the fish scale formation is like a clenched fist, concentrating the entire army's strength to attack the enemy's central vital point. Of course, the shortcomings and advantages of the fish scale formation are equally prominent, and its vital point is at the rear of the array. Once the rear of the array is attacked during a battle,
There will be a danger of the entire army being annihilated.
Ziying's use of the Fish Scale Formation was a gamble that Fengcheng behind him would not dare to send troops to attack his army, while Zhan Wushuang's use of the Fish Scale Formation was a helpless move. Now there are only tens of thousands of Ning's troops left. If he did not use the Fish Scale Formation,
With such a concentrated formation, there is no possibility of breaking through the enemy's army.
This is a head-on confrontation between legions, and it is also a tit-for-tat contest.
The two armies were in the same formation and moved forward together. The assault phalanx of both sides was in front, followed by all archers, and the general was located at the rear of the formation. As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the atmosphere on the battlefield also became more and more tense.
As the tension grew, the air seemed to have condensed. No one spoke or shouted. There were only the sounds of orders and the sound of uniform footsteps on the battlefield.
At this time, everyone on both sides of the enemy had their hearts in their throats. In such a large-scale corps battle, no one who dared to protect himself would definitely come off the battlefield alive. After both sides entered the shooting range, the corps commanders on both sides said in unison
Shout: "Get ready to fire arrows!"
Wow - the advancing speed of the two armies continued unabated, but the soldiers began to take action. Soldiers in even-numbered queues handed over their weapons and shields to their colleagues in odd-numbered rows next to them, then took off their long bows and marched forward.
Twist the bow and nock the arrow while leaning forward, pointing the tip of the arrow into the air ahead.
"Fire the arrow——"
"Fire the arrow——"
The orders from both sides were surprisingly consistent, and the commander's voice for firing arrows sounded at the same time.
Buzz!
Two dense masses of black mist rose from the camps of Feng Jun and Ning Jun at the same time. Countless eagle feathers were put together, like a long black cloth, blocking the blue sky. The arrows of both sides were supported on
There were interlacing, colliding, and clicking sounds in the air. Some of the arrows collided and broke, but more arrows passed through the opponent's arrow screen and fell into the enemy's camp.
The arrows were getting closer and closer, and the dull buzzing sound gradually turned into a harsh whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow fell into the camps of the two armies. For a moment, the sound of iron weapons breaking armor was heard everywhere, and at the same time, screams came from the two armies.
In the square formation, the soldiers moved forward without fear, but from time to time someone in the crowd was hit by flying arrows and fell to the ground. At this time, no matter who it was, falling would mean death. For the sake of the overall formation,
The soldiers behind were unable to avoid their fallen comrades and had no choice but to step on them. At this time, the soldiers had completely turned into emotionless war machines, and there was only one belief left in their minds: push forward, push forward.
Push forward.
Under the large-scale arrow formations on both sides, there is no difference between spiritual cultivators and ordinary soldiers. The only difference is that spiritual cultivators can use their spiritual armor to resist a few more arrows. That's it. If they are unfortunate enough to be in the opponent's formation,
In the center, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will be shot into hedgehogs by thousands and thousands of arrows. Even a powerful spiritual cultivator like Zhan Wudi does not dare to be in front of the formation. Like Zhan Wushuang, he retreats to his own side.
behind the formation to command the overall situation.
At this time, human life seems insignificant, and living lives may turn into fragmented corpses in an instant. This is war.
As the distance between the two armies gradually approached, the arrow arrays on both sides gradually weakened, and what followed was a more bloody close-quarters combat.
The soldiers in the assault phalanx on both sides had already raised their halberds, staring intently at the enemy opposite, looking for their opponents.
"kill--"
I don’t know if it was the assault phalanx over there that was the first to shout. The soldiers of the two armies held halberds in both hands and ran forward together. This was a direct collision between arrows. At the moment when the soldiers of both sides came into contact, the field
There was a loud rumbling sound, and the Feng soldiers pierced the enemy's throat with the halberd in their hands, and the enemy's halberd also pierced their chests.
There were two meters between the soldiers on both sides, but the distance between these two meters was already occupied by the dense halberd bodies. In just a moment, hundreds of soldiers from both sides fell to the ground at the same time. Looking from a distance, they were all thrown to the ground.
One piece. Some people were directly stabbed to death by the opponent's halberds, and some were injured to the ground. They quickly struggled to stand up again, withdrew their halberds, and continued to assassinate enemy soldiers.
At this time, the arrow formations of both sides had completely stopped, and the battle of the assault phalanx was fully launched.
The soldiers in front no longer fell down one by one, but fell in rows. One's own side stabbed the opponent's row of soldiers. Before the halberd could be withdrawn, they would be stabbed down by the other side's soldiers who came up, and then one's side stabbed down.
Here, another row was filled in, and enemy soldiers were assassinated and interlaced. The corpses on the battlefield were piled on top of each other, layer after layer, and the blood gathered into a small river and flowed for a long distance.
The battlefield has turned into a complete meat grinder, crushing the lives of soldiers on both sides.
The assault phalanx is the tip of the arrow of the entire army, and it gathers the most powerful soldiers in the army. However, after a big battle, regardless of the outcome, there are often not many people left in the assault phalanx, and basically all of them are lost in front of the two armies.
As the number of soldiers in the assault phalanx became less and less, the main force of the Chinese army gradually joined the battle group. This was the real competition of the overall strength of the two sides.
The Feng Army has a large number of people. The Sky Eagle Army evolved from the Peng Army at first. It is indeed a ragtag group. However, after resting for several months in Yancheng and getting enough training time, its current combat effectiveness is not what it used to be.
The Eagle Army also absorbed many veterans from the Sanshui Army, the Chifeng Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army, and its combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
Although the Ning Army has a small number of people and is not good at close combat, they are now at a dead end. They can only move forward and cannot retreat. It is a last-ditch battle. They must either fight to the death to break through the Feng Army's obstruction, or they must bury their bones and never think about it.
Returning to the motherland again, under such circumstances, there are no people in the Ning Army who are greedy for life and fear of death, only men who have fought bloody battles. Coupled with their steel armor, they burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The battle between the two sides can no longer be described as brutal and bloody. It is completely done by using people, using human flesh and blood to blunt and smooth the opponent's weapons.
The Ning Army's assault phalanx was the first to declare the entire army annihilated. A total of 10,000 Ning soldiers were killed. In the end, no one survived. It was even difficult to find a complete body.
There were 20,000 people in the Feng Army's assault phalanx. While completely annihilating the Ning Army's assault phalanx, they also lost more than 10,000 people. There was no time to rest. Next, they had to deal with a larger number of people.
The Ning Army's main formation. The enemies in front seemed to be endlessly killing and killing them. One row fell down, and more people were immediately added. In less than half an hour, the Feng Army's assault phalanx
It was also declared to be disintegrated. If Ziying had not given the timely order to withdraw the assault phalanx in front, none of the more than 3,000 people remaining would have survived.
As one side of the assault phalanx on both sides was completely killed, and most of the other side was damaged and retreated from the battlefield, the Chinese armies on both sides also launched a full-scale confrontation.
At this time, the weapons of the soldiers on the battlefield were no longer halberds, spears, spears, broadswords, swords, and swords, but all weapons that could kill people were used. The soldiers in front of both sides held their shields and pressed down on the enemy.
At the same time, the sword in his hand was raised high above his head, slashing and stabbing at the enemy.
In such a crowded battle, there was no room to dodge or even a chance to block the opponent's attack. If you wanted to avoid being cut down and stabbed to death by the opponent, you had to kill the opponent first. The soldiers on both sides used all their strength.
, waving the weapons in his hands desperately, the sound of iron weapons hitting shields was continuous, and the sounds of armor and bones being broken were also heard one after another.
Many dead soldiers could not even fall down. Their corpses were piled up by people from both sides, becoming human shields for both sides. Many soldiers whose heads had been crushed were still standing on the battlefield...
This fierce battle lasted for an unknown number of hours. It lasted from dawn to sunset. The casualties on both sides could not be counted. However, the battlefield was covered with corpses, and not only on one floor, but also on the battlefield.
The original color of the yellow earth has long since been lost, and it has been dyed red by the blood of soldiers on both sides.
However, even if the fight reaches this level, the battle between the two sides has not ended yet. It is still continuing endlessly. The corpses on the battlefield are still accumulating rapidly. The soldiers on both sides are numb from being killed, and there is no memory in their minds.
Superfluous thoughts, like a walking zombie, mechanically waving the weapons in their hands, stabbing, picking, chopping, slashing, fists, teeth, and using all possible means to kill and injure the enemies in front of them.
