Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth IX fierce battle at the foot of the mountain
Li Xunchen has an absolute military advantage over Li Xun, so as long as these soldiers and horses come up little by little, Li Xun will not be able to find an opportunity to take advantage of it. Obviously, this is how Dai Cai took action. On the other side, Chen Zhishen
It's a completely opposite way of fighting.
Li Xun's thin defense line was like a layer of tissue paper to Chen Zhishen, and what he wanted to do was to pierce through this layer of tissue paper in one go!
One is fast, the other is slow, one is sharp and the other is steady. Li Xunchen seems to be using a dignified formation to fight Li Xun, but he does not restrict the display of the combat character of his generals, which makes this dignified formation change instantly.
.
If you want to find vulnerabilities between two opponents with completely different fighting styles and quickly complete the deployment, you must also ensure that the defensive methods of the left and right defense lines will not be affected. This is definitely not a simple problem for a general.
While Li Xun was still thinking, Chen Zhishen's men had already rushed within the bow and arrow range of the Northern Zhou army.
"Fire the arrow!" Li Xun ordered without hesitation.
No matter what, he can still do these basic things that he should do by himself.
The arrows flew out with a roar, and Chen Zhishen gave the order to raise his shield almost at the same time. When the first wave of arrows came towards him, the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row had already used their shields to protect their vital parts.
The arrows hit the shield, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound. Chen Zhishen kept walking and continued to move forward holding the flag. Arrows kept flying around him and flying overhead. The flag was already full of holes, but Chen Zhishen simply couldn't stop it.
Unmoved.
The arrows collided with the armor and pierced into the body, making tooth-breaking noises at every turn. Soldiers continued to fall to the ground, but more soldiers still followed the flag in front of them closely.
The guards around Chen Zhishen kept falling, but the guards behind him still followed closely. Their main task was to protect Chen Zhishen's front, and also to protect this flag.
"Fire the arrow!" Chen Zhishen suddenly ordered when the distance between the two sides had shortened to nearly fifty steps.
The crossbowmen at the rear all stepped forward at this time, and the arrows they had been waiting for for a long time shot out of the air. Many of the low ones flew out, almost grazing the scalps of their own family members. This sudden arrow rain obviously caught the Northern Zhou army off guard, and they continued to
A soldier was struck by an arrow and fell down.
The original layout of the Northern Zhou army on the right wing was with shields in front, crossbowmen and spearmen in the back. This most common formation method could be used to attack and retreat. It was originally impeccable, but as Bashu
The army was approaching and had no intention of releasing arrows. The crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou army had begun to retreat gradually. It was at this critical moment when the spearmen and crossbowmen were exchanging positions one after another that such a change suddenly occurred. How could it happen?
Maybe not confusing?
Fortunately, most of these were veterans who had followed Wei Xiaokuan for many years, so the commander in charge took a lot of effort to stabilize the formation.
But before all the shields could be rearranged and the crossbowmen temporarily returned to their original positions, a Bashu army leader who was rushing to the front had already crashed into the gap between the two shields.
The shield in his hand hit the two shields hard, and sparks shot out for a while. The battle leader roared, and his steps did not stop at all. He just moved forward. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were supported behind the shield were originally unprepared, and suddenly they were like this.
, separated to both sides almost at once, and the shield also tilted. Before they could recover, spears pierced directly through the gaps exposed by the tilt of the shield.
The two soldiers were pierced without even making a sound, and the gap suddenly opened.
"Charge!" the battle leader roared, and followed the small gap to kill in depth. The soldiers of the brigade formed a triangular formation and followed his back closely, constantly expanding and expanding the small gap.
, until complete collapse!
"Shoot the formation!" Li Xun's voice suddenly sounded, making the commander in charge breathe a sigh of relief, and the order was quickly passed on.
The archers and crossbowmen fired arrows desperately at the enemies who were close at hand, or rather at the enemies and their own people who were fighting in the melee. And a group of Northern Zhou soldiers rushed over from the sloping ground, directly on the flank of the Bashu army.
Tear open the opening and cut off the sharp blade that rushes forward.
"Well done, shrink your formation and keep moving forward!" Chen Zhishen's shouts echoed in the entire military formation. He grabbed a shield and stepped out of the crowd. The arrows whizzed and hit the shield directly, but Chen Zhishen's footsteps became more and more intense.
Quickly, rush directly towards the crossbowmen who are already in front of you.
"Kill!" A loud shout rang in his ears. Li Xun's personal guard captain came over with a long knife and slashed at him. Half of Li Xun's personal guards also separated to join the battle group to protect the enemy from being slaughtered at will at any time.
crossbowman.
"Kill!" Chen Zhishen's momentum was not hindered by the enemy's menacing approach. Instead, he casually threw the shield in his hand towards the man and already raised his mountain ax with the other hand.
The guard captain barely escaped the shield attack. He never expected that his opponent would throw away the most important defense and even life-saving weapon so simply. Before he could recover, the mountain ax was already facing him.
Come.
The guard captain immediately understood that he must have met a master. Although the person facing him was only wearing the armor of an ordinary general, he was sure that this was definitely not an ordinary person. At that moment, he turned aside to avoid this person with the wind and thunder aura.
With a blow, the knife immediately turned and slashed directly at Chen Zhishen's calf. He also knew very well that the strong man in front of him was wearing armor and had few fatal weaknesses, so it was better to try to stop his actions for the time being.
Generally speaking, people who rely on strength to win are generally at a disadvantage in terms of movement.
But before the knife arrived, the opponent's ax had already reached the neck of the guard captain. The guard captain's face suddenly changed. He turned the knife and raised it toward the ax, while he ducked to the side in embarrassment.
It rolled directly.
But what surprised him was that his knife did not hit the opponent's axe. It seemed that he had expected this move. The opponent just feinted and took advantage of the gap to turn around and rush into the crowd fighting fiercely next to him.
As the axes rose and fell, several Northern Zhou soldiers who were entangled with their opponents screamed and fell down.
Many other people noticed the situation here and looked over subconsciously, with some surprises and doubts, because in their eyes, it looked more like the captain of the guard wanted to escape, but ended up forcefully letting his opponent out.
.
Seeing these strange expressions, the guard captain couldn't help but want to curse, but before he could speak, the command flag behind him changed again.
"Shrink defense."
The guard captain was startled for a moment, and turned around subconsciously. His general was still there, but his face was gloomy. Obviously, this was the only solution to the situation in front of him.
