Under the command of Liu Xiu, the Han army set up a frontal arrow formation. As the name suggests, the frontal arrow formation is in the shape of an arrow, with the center protruding forward and the two wings leaning back.
As the drums from both camps sounded, the formations of both sides began to advance in reverse directions.
Boom, boom, boom! Uniform footsteps sounded on the battlefield, and the distance between the two camps became shorter and shorter.
When the two sides were less than a hundred steps away, the archers in the battle formation took the lead in attacking.
Both sides fired arrows almost at the same time, and with two muffled buzzing sounds, two long black screens were seen rising into the sky from the heads of both camps, drawing long arcs in the air, passing each other, and then roaring and smashing.
Enter the opponent's camp.
What followed was a series of clanking sounds. The arrows either hit the shield or penetrated the leather armor, making a crackling sound. From time to time, the soldiers on both sides who were advancing forward were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The distance between the two sides was even closer, and the soldiers in the front row could even hear the gasps of the people on the other side.
"Kill!" The soldiers in the front row of both sides shouted in unison, and then rushed forward together.
Boom, boom, boom
When people came into contact, the sounds of shields clashing together were heard one after another. At the same time, the sound of spears piercing human bodies was heard one after another. Dozens or hundreds of soldiers screamed, wailed, and fell down in an instant.
on the ground.
The soldiers held weapons and stabbed the opponent's enemy with all their strength, either stabbing the enemy to death or being stabbed to death by the enemy. The battle between the two sides became extremely bloody from the beginning.
The two armies faced each other head-on. There was no opportunism, it was just a competition of combat power.
Since the Han army set up a forward formation, with the center thrust forward and the two sides trailing behind, only the central part of the formation was fighting, and neither side could fight.
The main thing is that the five military schools located on both wings of the rectangular formation cannot find their enemies at all.
Chen Yi, who was in charge of the central army, had a thought in his mind. Liu Xiu's troops were small, so it was a normal choice to set up a forward formation to deal with his own rectangular formation, but in this way, he gave his own side a chance.
Thinking of this, he shouted to the messengers on his left and right: "Order our two wings to advance forward and outflank the enemy!"
"Here!" The two messengers agreed one after another, turned their horses, and ran straight to the camps of the Fifth Academy Army on both wings of Wang Lang's army to convey Chen Yi's order.
During the battle, Wang Lang's army's formation was the first to change.
The formation suddenly changed from the original rectangular shape to a concave shape. The central army composed of county soldiers resisted the advance of the Han army. At the same time, the five school armies on both wings advanced forward, gradually forming a three-sided pincer attack on the Han army.
potential.
Just as the five-camp army on both wings continued to outflank the Han army, suddenly, a cavalry was shot out from each wing of the Han army. These two cavalry were none other than the three thousand Youzhou surprise troops commanded by Wu Han and Geng.
ride.
The Fifth Academy Army was unprepared for the sudden attack of cavalry, and the distance between the two sides was too close, and the cavalry charge was too fast. When the Fifth Academy Army reacted, the cavalry had already charged in front of them.
Let’s talk about the Yuyang cavalry headed by Wu Han. Wu Han rushed to the front. When he got close to the fifth school army camp, there was a long shield formation in front of him. Wu Han held the Tiger Mighty Silver Halberd in both hands and used all his strength.
Lunge forward.
Boom! With a loud noise, the sharp point of the halberd was piercing the center of a shield. The soldier standing behind the shield felt that the impact on his shield was not like a weapon, but more like a running rhinoceros.
The powerful impact caused him to fall on his back.
Before he could even get up from the ground, Wu Han's war horse had trampled over him. Wu Han was on the horse, condescending, slashing his halberd to the left and right. The heads of the shield soldiers on both sides were broken off, and their heads were missing.
Taking advantage of the gap opened by Wu Han, the cavalry behind them rushed into the crowd of the Fifth Academy Army.
The Fifth Academy Army is an insurgent army, not a regular army, and its combat effectiveness is even inferior to that of the local county soldiers. To put it bluntly, the Fifth Academy Army is an armed force composed of farmers, refugees, bandits, and criminals.
Now they were facing the brave and experienced Youzhou Cavalry who had been fighting against the Xiongnu for many years. The combat prowess of the two sides was not at the same level.
The Youzhou Cavalry holding an iron spear fell to the ground as soon as it passed by. There were already piles of bloody corpses trampled by the horses.
Wu Han seemed to be possessed by the god of death. He rushed into the center of the camp of the fifth school army with one man and one horse. While he kept charging forward, he shouted loudly: "Kill all the enemy troops! Leave no one behind!"
"
The general who commanded the five-camp army rushed up from the middle and rear of the camp. He had not seen other enemies yet, and the first one he saw was Wu Han.
I saw Wu Han among his own people, waving his halberd and killing his soldiers like chopping vegetables.
The general of the fifth school army gritted his teeth, roared angrily, and urged his horse to charge towards Wu Han.
As soon as the two sides met, the general of the fifth school army struck Wu Han on the head with his sword. The latter laughed and raised the halberd in his hand. With a clang, the fallen sword was bounced more than three feet high.
The general of the fifth school army felt his arms go numb, and the knife in his hand almost flew away. How could this man be so strong?! He was horrified. Wu Han's strength was no match for Jia Fu's.
Up and down, can it be smaller?
"Take my halberd too!" As he spoke, Wu Han swept his halberd towards the opponent's waist.
The general of the Fifth Academy Army hurriedly sheathed his sword, raised his sword pole, and parried the halberd swept by Wu Han. Bang! With just this blow, the General of the Fifth Academy Army was knocked away from his horse.
Plop! He fell sideways two meters away before landing heavily on the ground, and then rolled sideways for a long distance before coming to a stop.
Wu Han turned his horse's head and pursued the opponent. Dozens of soldiers surrounded him and moved forward, hoping to block Wu Han and save his own general.
But in front of Wu Han, they were no different from Wu Han. The latter swung his powerful silver halberd, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing most of the dozens of soldiers, and then rushed out from the crowd with his horse.
At this time, the general of the fifth school army, who was dizzy from the fall, had just stood up from the ground and saw Wu Han coming on horseback. His halberd drew a streak of lightning in the air and flashed towards his neck.
He broke out in a cold sweat, rolled on the spot, and walked out sideways.
Narrowly dodging Wu Han's halberd, he pulled out the sword from his ribs and aimed it at Wu Han's back. He swung his arm outward and the sword flew out, spinning in the air and stabbing Wu Han's chest.
back.
But Wu Han seemed to have eyes on his back. He didn't even turn his head, and swiped the tiger's mighty silver halberd behind him. With a clang, the sword flew towards him and was bounced into the crowd aside.
One soldier didn't even see clearly what was going on. He was hit by a sword in the chest and died in confusion.
Wu Han stopped his horse, turned the horse's head, looked at the general of the Fifth School Army whose expression changed greatly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sinister smile: "Today, I will take your dog's head!" As he spoke, he urged the horse to charge towards him again.
other side.
He couldn't fight anymore! The general of the fifth school army was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. When Wu Han was about to approach him, he suddenly raised his arm outwards, and a cloud of white smoke rushed towards Wu Han's face.
Face door.
This is the difference between the Fifth Academy Army and the regular army.
The generals of the five schools' armies are basically people from the martial arts world. Their ability to lead troops may not be very strong, and their ability to fight may not be great, but they all have their own bits and pieces, and they are all common tricks in the martial arts world.
At this time, the white mist raised by the general of the Fifth Academy Army was smoke mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine. Sprinkling out this handful of smoke, he didn't care whether Wu Han was fascinated or not, he turned around and burrowed into the crowd of the Fifth Academy Army.
Go in.
It would be best if he could charm the opponent. If he could not, he could use his own crowd as a cover to escape.
But he underestimated Wu Han too much. When the latter saw the white smoke coming towards him, he immediately raised his palms to block his eyes. At the same time, he also held his breath.
When the white mist cleared, Wu Han put down his palm and took a closer look. He saw the general of the fifth school army burrowing into the crowd. He said with a cruel smile: "Rat, don't leave!" As he spoke, he jumped on his horse and chased after him.
Go up.
One halberd pierced through the chest of a soldier. The halberd's power remained unabated and stabbed the second soldier's body. There were two people hanging on the halberd. Wu Han held the halberd and lifted it outwards, and the two corpses were together.
Flying towards the fifth school military general in the crowd.
The latter was unprepared and was hit by two corpses that fell from it.
He screamed, fell to the ground, and rolled into a ball with the two corpses. With great difficulty, he pushed away the corpse that was pressing on him. Wu Hanye was already in front of him, and stabbed him with a halberd, hitting him in the lower abdomen.
Wu Han used his arms to forcefully lift the general of the Fifth Academy Army from the ground into the air. He held a halberd in one hand, and the general of the Fifth Academy Army was still hanging on the halberd. The latter was obviously not dead, and his limbs were still in the air.
Struggling and dancing.
"You guys! Who else is going to die again?!" As he spoke, Wu Han swung his silver halberd and threw the body of the general of the Fifth Academy Army into the crowd of soldiers from the Fifth Academy.
No one dared to take another step closer to Wu Han. The soldiers of the Fifth Academy Army turned pale with fright, and their eyes widened in fear. They held the weapons in their hands and retreated involuntarily.
People's attention was still on Wu Han. The Yuyang cavalry had already charged forward and crashed into the crowd. Screams were heard everywhere.
Wu Han's side defeated the Fifth Academy Army opposite, and Geng's side also defeated the Fifth Academy Army opposite.
However, the mission of Wu Han and Geng was not to finish by defeating the outflanking army of the Five Schools. Next, the cavalry led by the two men took advantage of the victory to pursue them. Like two sharp blades, they penetrated deeply into the sides of Wang Lang's army.
Got in.xdw8
The two flanks were violently attacked by the enemy's cavalry, and the associated effect was that the central formation of Wang Lang's army was in chaos.
The county soldiers who were resisting the Han army in the front were fighting fiercely with the Han army. But suddenly, they heard that the two wings behind them were in chaos. They didn't know what happened behind them, and people could no longer concentrate on fighting with the Han army.
When the two armies are fighting, the most worrying thing is that they are distracted. The county soldiers are not as good as the Han army on the opposite side in terms of combat strength. Now they are unable to concentrate, and the situation quickly becomes passive.
At this moment, the 500 Benming Army led by Jia Fu, looking at the right opportunity, suddenly came out of the Han army camp and directly inserted into the opposite county army camp.
Jia Fu did not ride a horse, and fought on foot like Wu Bai Ben Ming.
In the battle between the two sides, with the five hundred soldiers rushing into battle, the balance immediately tilted.
At this time, the value of the Benming Army was revealed. It made perfect sense that they could enjoy privileges in the army and receive much more military pay than ordinary soldiers.
