Huaimu had no armor on his body, and his weapons were only a sword and a small leather buckler, but he was fearless. With dozens of Qin soldiers howling around him, he rushed into the Chu people's formation in one go.
in the queue.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.
That was five years ago, when he was still a minister, he was drafted to the front line and participated in the war against Korea. When the war started, he and eighteen ministers, who had committed capital crimes, were grouped together, the commander said
, they are soldiers trapped in the army, they have no armor, only short soldiers, they have to stand in front of the entire army and launch a charge against the enemy formation.
"If you, eighteen of you, are able to capture five of the enemy's heads, those who were previously executed will be exempted from the death penalty, and those who were previously subordinates will be restored to their freedom of status. If anyone is afraid to move forward, he will be tattooed in front of thousands of people.
A severe punishment for having a bad face and a bad nose!”
In that battle, only eight of the eighteen people survived. They stood among the enemy's corpses, carrying five heads, bathing in blood. After that, Huaimu regained his freedom from being a subordinate.
, for the first time he could walk on the street without any scruples, without wearing wooden tongs and being looked down upon by others.
But it was not enough. His mother was still working as a Chengdan pounder, and he had two younger brothers who were still small ministers in the county. The laws of the Qin State stipulated that if one could be beheaded and gain a title, he could redeem his family's life. So in the next few days,
In this battle, Huaimu fought bravely, just to behead his mother and brothers in exchange for their freedom.
It's a pity that his mother died before she could be released, so those two levels of titles returned to Huaimu. He couldn't wait until the next year when he could apply for a title replacement, so he was recruited again to serve as the commander of the village.
Identity defeats Wei.
This is why he risked his life to be the first to die in the Battle of Waihuang.
The title was obtained, and he survived because Heifu helped to bandage it. But the war was far away. The king had just finished conquering Wei and was about to attack Chu. Fortunately, Heifu's generals loved nurse soldiers and not only wrote letters for them.
It is a rare thing to send it home and allow everyone to retreat with intact structures when the Qin army was defeated.
After experiencing so many battles, Huaimu also vaguely understood that it is easier to see the ability of a military officer in defeat than in victory.
It is easy to pursue with the wind, but difficult to retreat with the whole army.
Now they retreated to the isolated city and were in a desperate situation. Hei Fu's inspiring speech once again united the frightened Qin soldiers. Everyone took a breath and returned to the army without stopping. Who dares to stop them from returning home?
, just wait and see how Qin Jun fights for his life!
We are not drowned dogs, but tigers and wolves!
Therefore, when Heifu wanted to choose someone to lead the trapped soldiers, Huaimu and Dongmen Bao stood up to answer the order and compete for this position!
"I once climbed to Waihuang first and beheaded the enemy three times!" Dongmen Leopard showed off his achievements in this way, and the birthmark on his face turned red.
But Huaimu's qualifications immediately outshone this young man.
"I was a trapper three times! Once I was the first to get there, I was beheaded five times!" He opened his clothes and showed off his scars to everyone.
After thinking about it, Heifu decided to let the more experienced Huaimu take on this important task. He took his men, as well as another hundred short soldiers and guards from another camp, and first dropped his armor at the top of the city to confuse the Chu army, and then went out of the city to form a formation.
When the drum beats, launch a fearless charge towards the Chu formation!
"If the entire army is a sword, then the man who traps the enemy is the tip of the sword! Only if you break through the enemy's armor can the sword blade follow him!" Heifu said to Huaimu, after trapping the enemy,
Soldiers are the key to the success or failure of this breakout.
Huaimu readily agreed. In his opinion, what those who trap the team have to do is actually the simplest thing. Tactics? There is no need at all. Just one sentence, don't be afraid of death, charge!
Moreover, this is probably the charge with the fewest obstacles since Huaimu became a warrior, right?
The Chu people were not prepared for battle at all. They did not dig trenches in front of the array, and the archers were not on standby. The arrows shot in a hurry were loose and scattered. Only the unlucky ones would run into them and be shot to the ground. After all, they were all shot to the ground.
Without armor, once he is hit, he will be seriously injured.
But soon, the advantage of not wearing heavy armor came to light. The Tun in front charged very quickly and went straight into the hands of the Chu archers who were busy drawing arrows and drawing bows.
This group of archers also had no armor. When the trapped men rushed in, it was like a tiger entering a sheepfold. Once the archers were approached, they were completely targeted for slaughter. They either fled in panic or took out the weapons on their waists.
He resisted with a short dagger and raised his bow in an attempt to block the sharp sword, but was soon knocked down like a melon and a vegetable...
The same goes for the camp led by Huaimu. They moved quickly and aimed at the spear-wielding Chu soldiers next to the archers. Before the Chu soldiers had time to raise their spears or shields, they were rushed to pieces. The front row was not careful in the first place.
The array was instantly knocked into even more chaos.
Even though Sophora japonica has no armor, he has no fear. He holds a long sword and kills in all directions, harvesting lives one after another.
A Chu soldier foolishly rushed towards Huaimu, swung his sword and pecked at him. As a result, his sword stabbed him in the chest, penetrating the leather armor, muscles and lungs, and the man died instantly.
But the sword blade was stuck in the opponent's chest and ribs and could not be pulled out. Two more Chu soldiers were attacking him. Huaimu did not panic. He immediately lowered his head to pick up the spear, swung the enemy's spear away, and then pulled it out violently to return it.
The sword in the corpse came, kicked open a shield that was pressed against his back, and slashed the throat of the Chu man hiding behind.
The surrounding scene was equally chaotic, with fighting everywhere, and the trapped soldiers achieved brilliant results. In a moment, a group of archers and a group of spearmen were defeated.
It's a pity that although the two formations were defeated first, there were only a hundred people trapped in the formation. The impact was already at the end of the force, and they could no longer move forward. There were no armor protection, and there were many casualties. There were too many Chu people, and the formations on the left and right were slowing down.
He slowly closed up and tried to surround him, but this subconscious behavior made the Chu people's formation even more chaotic.
At this point, everyone's mission has been completed, which is to disrupt the enemy's formation and let Pao Ze from behind come in!
During the break in the fighting, Huaimu looked to the rear. Following closely behind the trapped soldiers was the main force of the Qin people, six hundred men running in neat steps and holding spears. They were already more than ten paces away...
…
"Broken!"
When he saw that the trapped soldiers led by Huaimu had defeated two hundred soldiers of the Chu people and opened a gap, Heifu, who was walking in the formation, patted his thigh excitedly!
This time, he no longer took the lead as he did when he was the commander of the village, shouting "The second and third sons will follow me."
It is no longer like being a short-term soldier with hundreds of generals, never leaving the main general...
Because he is the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army in this battle!
There were only six to seven hundred people under his command, and there was no complicated command like when a large army was fighting. Communication basically relied on shouting. Heifu personally commanded two hundred-man squadrons, Dongmen Bao, Zhai Chong, Tu Si, and Man each commanding a hundred people. They went out
After arriving at the city and lining up, they trotted forward to the sound of drums played by Li Xian at the top of the city.
Heifu asked Tu Si and Man to be on the left and right, Zhai Chong was at the rear, and his two hundred men were walking in the middle.
The one hundred people at the front were led by Dongmen Leopards, all wearing thick armor, five in a row, twenty in a row, and the two rows in front were holding chief spears.
The chief spear is a kind of impact spear used by infantry. Although the length is not as long as the longest "barbarian spear" of two feet and four feet, which is nearly six meters! But it is still 20 feet, four and a half meters long, and can be carried by two people.
Holding them together ensures fast movement.
These spears were all found in the arsenal in the city. As "heavy" weapons in the hands of infantry, when twenty spears were laid flat and moved forward quickly, the momentum was extremely terrifying!
The only things that could compete with the spears were spears of the same length and huge oar shields. Everyone pushed each other to see who could defeat whom. This was the normal state of heavy infantry phalanx competition after the war started in these years.
However, the Chu people had been thrown into disarray by the trapped soldiers. One group of spearmen had been defeated, and the other group was blocked from behind and could not be mobilized. Dou Ran could only assign two hundred sword and shield soldiers to make up the number.
The soldiers of the Qin army were only more than ten steps behind the trapped soldiers. This short distance was reached in an instant. As the Dongmen Leopard roared, the Qin soldiers raised their spears and attacked in a horizontal line, just in time with
Those Chu sword and shield soldiers who were moving quickly sideways and came specifically to stop them collided with each other!
The sharp spear tip inserted through the gap in the shield, pierced the leather armor of an unlucky Chu man, penetrated his intestines, and broke out of his back. The blood-stained spear tip once again penetrated the chest and abdomen of the person behind...
Not only the two people holding spears were exerting force, but the three people behind each column were also pushing and pushing. In this way, relying on the length and impact of the chief's spear, Dongmen Bao and others were like a sharp iron cone, and they couldn't help but push.
After a while, these two hundred Chu soldiers were pierced and defeated...
At this time, the chief's spear was like a candied haws, with two or three people stabbed in it. Some of the people on it were not dead yet, screaming miserably. But the Qin people could no longer move forward with the spear, and the Qin soldiers directly
Abandoning them, he drew out his two-foot sword, howled and continued to charge forward, engaging the enemy at hand-to-hand combat.
If the Chu formation was originally only opened a small hole by the people who trapped it, then now, under the fierce push of the chief's spear, a big hole has been opened. Not to mention that there are hundreds of people behind Dongmen Leopard and others.
The Qin soldiers, also under the command of Hei Fu, kept fighting in through this hole. For a while, the Chu people only had time to make up for the leaks.
Although they were caught off guard and at least 500 people were overwhelmed one after another, due to the large number of people, the Chu people were far from being defeated by the entire army. Under the command of Dou Ran, they began to counterattack.
First of all, people kept moving to the center from the left and right, trying to stop the Qin people's advance. In addition, the remaining one hundred archers finally moved over. The archers put their arrows on the bow strings and shot them towards the array behind the Qin people.
A hail of arrows.
Swish, swish, the arrows were like hail hailing towards the Qin soldiers in the rear, ten branches, a hundred branches. Beside Hei Fu, many people who were holding up their shields to block the arrows fell to the ground, and their shouts turned into wailing, even he
The copper jacket on the top of his head was also hit and made a clanking sound, which startled Hei Fu.
At the same time, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from the side. Although the Chu people's thirty chariots were not prepared in advance, they were awkwardly stuck among the soldiers and could not get out. They could only be used as command vehicles.
But the one hundred riders were very mobile. They had gathered together, came around from the two wings, and stopped dozens of steps away to station their horses. The riders got off their horses one after another, unloaded their bows and crossbows, and shot arrows at the Qin people...
…
Zhai Chong, who was behind, braved the rain of arrows and came over and said: "Heifu, there are too many arrows and some of them are unstoppable. Do you want to send people from the left and right wings to disperse them?"
Heifu said: "Just let Xiao Tao lead dozens of crossbowmen to fight back!"
"What if those riders attack us!"
"Aren't you still protecting the left, right and rear?"
Heifu didn't look sideways. Unless there were too many cavalry or one's own side had been routed, it wasn't worth worrying too much about the cavalry these days. This was because this arm was not yet mature, let alone the Chu cavalry. The horses were short and the riders were too small.
If the skill is not good, it is usually used as a reconnaissance horse. It cannot even draw the bow on a galloping horse. It has to stop or even dismount to shoot on foot, which will not play a decisive role at all.
As for attacking and entering the battle? But this is something that even the fine cavalry of Shangjun in the northern part of the Qin Kingdom rarely do. How dare the Chu cavalry? Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who promoted the assault cavalry, was still a little kid and had not learned to ride a horse!
Besides, at this moment, Hei Fu no longer cares about his wings and back, and can only look ahead!
That's right, rush forward regardless of everything, fighting quickly without understanding! This is the tactic formulated by Heifu. The general has no plans left, and the soldiers are determined to die, so they sharpen their armor and blades, and use all their strength to overwhelm the enemy's formation!
They are outnumbered and cannot compete with the enemy in terms of numbers and endurance, but in terms of momentum. With the momentum of mourning soldiers, they will be full of energy at one go, but they will be weak at the second time, and they will be exhausted at the third time. If they are timid and the momentum of the attack is gone, they will definitely be defeated!
But if the enemy can be penetrated in one breath and the formation is dispersed, this group of Chu people will basically be defeated. Don't expect to be able to gather the soldiers manually like the general in the game. It is simply impossible. This group of Chu people have no quality.
It was so high that the defeated troops were frightened. Without the organizational structure, it was too late to run, let alone turn around and fight back.
"Rush over!"
So Heifu pointed his sword forward, and after the enemy array had broken through a huge hole, he let his two hundred men follow him and kill them in. He didn't care about the arrows that were constantly raining down from above his head, or the probing and harassing people on the left and right.
Their cavalry only stared ahead, only twenty steps away, caught in the Chu people's chaotic formation and unable to move their Douran four-horse mounts!
"Just rush all the way and give Chu people a centerpiece to bloom!"
At the same time, as if God was helping Heifu, a huge cry of killing also sounded from behind the Chu army's array!
