In the defensive formation of the bandit army, the archers responded first, firing their bows and arrows rapidly, and there was almost no interval between the arrows and the arrows fell towards the spearhead of the white pole army.
As for the fire rifle soldiers, there aren't many on the bandits' side.
It’s not that the bandits don’t have gunpowder here, the main reason is that gunpowder is all captured and they can’t produce it themselves. And gunpowder is a consumable item. When they attack a place, when a war breaks out, gunpowder is the most consumed, and they can capture it every time.
There are very few.
Therefore, Liu Zongmin's partial division did not have any firearms at all. What they did have were all under Kaifeng City.
However, according to their past experience, even the equipment of the current Baigan Army cannot withstand the rapid fire of bows and arrows, and at least a large number of them will fall.
Later, today's white-pole army soldiers will be afraid, but their leader is supervising the formation from behind, and it is difficult to retreat even if they want to, so they can only continue to move forward.
However, after the baptism of arrows, the morale of the white pole army was no longer. If they continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat, as long as they could kill more white pole troops, the war would basically be like this.
Only when the Baigan Army is fighting locally, they may continue to resist desperately. Because they have no retreat, their hometown is behind them. But now, this is Wei Hui!
Song Xiance, who was next to the coach, was thinking this in his mind. When he was analyzing the battle situation, his eyes suddenly widened and almost popped out of his eyes.
The scene in front of him left him stunned.
In front of the military formation, after the Baigan Army formation was covered with arrows, not a few soldiers fell down. We only saw many Baigan Army soldiers with arrows hanging on their bodies and continuing to advance.
Judging from the hanging condition of the arrows, those arrows were not able to penetrate the body of the Baigan Army at all, but were blocked.
What's happening here?
Even Liu Zongmin was shocked.
If this situation only happens to a small number of people, such as Ma Xianglin and others, Liu Zongmin and others can actually understand it.
A good pair of armor with high protective power is life-saving on the battlefield. As a general or leader, he will definitely buy strong armor, but ordinary soldiers never have so much money to buy it.
I have heard that any army would be so extravagant!
Even the Yongwei Battalion belonging to the Yulin Army among the imperial officers and soldiers is not like this!
Liu Zongmin and others simply couldn't figure out how the situation in front of them could happen.
However, even if they couldn't figure it out, the fact was the fact. After being covered by the rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Baigan Army became more morale and continued to form a formation and rush towards the bandit army.
Liu Zongmin came to his senses. After all, he had been fighting life and death for so many years. He immediately made a decision and ordered all the archers to shoot arrows at the middle and rear sections of the Baigan Army.
In his opinion, Qin Liangyu may have spent his money on equipping the white-pole army at the front. However, it is impossible for all the forwards to be equipped, right?
In this case, using bows and arrows to shoot at the back of the White Guard Army can cut off the White Guard Army's formation. If they fight again, they can also win the battle.
However, after several rounds of rapid shooting, each archer shot almost all his arrows, and when he looked at them carefully, they were all dumbfounded.
It was seen that among the Baigan Army who were covered by their arrow rain, there were still few people who fell. The arrows hanging on the Baigan Army seemed to inject chicken blood into the Baigan Army soldiers, and their morale became worse.
More expensive.
"Kill..." The white-pole army's shout of killing unknowingly overshadowed the rogue bandit's side, and the sound shook the whole place.
Liu Zongmin couldn't figure out what was going on in front of him. It was impossible. The arrows he had were not made of iron, right?
At this moment, he looked at the archer with some suspicion, then turned back and looked at the military advisor Song Xiance next to him, with a puzzled look on his face. He wanted to see what the smart military advisor had to say?
However, even Song Xiance had a dull look on his face. Not to mention explaining to him, he just stayed there completely.
Judging from the range covered by the arrow rain, the white-pole army in front of them has at least about 3,000 people with armor, which is definitely very strong.
But, how is this possible?
Liu Zongmin couldn't get the answer, and it was too late to seek the answer. The two armies fought, and the brave one won!
Now that the bows and arrows have been shot, it's time for melee combat.
The command flag was waved, and the bandit army advanced instead of retreating, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the white pole army who had already rushed forward.
Because of the existence of the new armor, after several rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers of the White Army realized that the armor they were wearing was really strong. It protected them on the battlefield without causing them any harm as they imagined, and their morale immediately increased.
stand up.
On the other hand, the flow thieves were all a bit at a loss after seeing the previous scene. They were a little worried. What was going on with the White Gun Army? Could it be that some god cast a spell?
Anyway, they didn’t believe that even the ordinary soldiers of the Baigan Army could wear general-level armor, let alone that there would be so many soldiers of the Baigan Army wearing so many good armors. Instead, the gods cast spells to make them more capable.
Believe some more.
After all, in all the years of fighting, they had never seen this scene before them.
The morale of the bandits was inevitably affected.
Between the rise and fall, it can be clearly seen which side is the brave before the two armies come into contact.
"Kill..."
"kill……"
The thunderous shouts, like voices, resounded throughout the world.
The bandits here were all veterans. Even if their morale was affected, they couldn't think too much and started fighting to the death.
The knife slashed through, but the White-Gun Army soldiers on the opposite side did not dodge or dodge, fighting for their lives; there was a "clang" sound, but the knife could not cut into the bodies of the White-Gun Army soldiers, but his own body was stabbed.
wear;
A gun shot through it, stabbing the white pole army soldiers, but it couldn't penetrate. It just blocked the white pole army's advance, or it just pierced the white pole army's coat, and then the gun tip slipped past and couldn't penetrate at all.
, but my body felt huge pain and loss of strength;
In just one encounter, the soldiers on the front line of the battle between the two sides, the soldiers on the bandits' side, were stabbed to the ground one after another. They were like a paper wall, falling down as soon as they were pushed. There was no way to stop the Baigan Army.
Possibility of charge.
"Kill..."
Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Baigan Army immediately became more and more morale and charged forward with overwhelming momentum.
Relying on the strength of their armor and the sharpness of their spears, they were almost invincible and had no opponents at all.
On the other hand, the bandit was frightened.
It was unable to cause effective damage to the soldiers of the White Army, and suffered disproportionate casualties, which hurt morale the most.
Even if Liu Zongmin saw that the situation was not good, he took his personal guards and personally went into battle to try to stop the momentum of the White Army's charge, but there was nothing he could do.
He was surprised to find that even the armor worn by ordinary White Guard soldiers was stronger than the armor of his personal guards, and their swords and guns were sharper.
After only holding on for a while, his personal guards suffered heavy casualties. In desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw from the forward battle line. Otherwise, he would have to surrender to the front.
The importance of armor was undoubtedly revealed in this battle.
This is also the reason why, in the feudal cold weapon era, the imperial court strictly prohibited private ownership of armor.
The bandits were facing the military formation. Even before the battle, I felt that I had the advantage of 10,000 against 5,000. But at this time, I only persisted for a while, and the bandits in front of me were completely defeated.
The reason why an old thief is an old thief is because he knows how to fight in battle and is good at protecting himself, making it easier to survive on the battlefield.
When they can fight, their fighting power is strong. However, once they cannot fight, the desire to survive like these old thieves takes over again.
Thirty-six strategies: Escape first is the best. As long as you can escape your accomplices, the probability of survival will be higher.
For a long time, as for Li Zicheng's army, in the original history, why did it suffer a complete defeat after being defeated in the Battle of Stone, with no chance to make a comeback?
One reason is that the plague broke out in Li Zicheng's army. However, some people say that bandits are not good at fighting tough battles! Just because bandits are bandits!
At this time, as soon as Liu Zongmin's central army collapsed, it was immediately penetrated by the White Guard Army, and both flanks were immediately exposed to the White Guard Army's pincer attack.
Needless to say, both Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi, seeing this situation, immediately ran away without any hope of turning the tide.
"Kill..."
Seeing this, Qin Liangyu, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, had a rare smile on his face, ordered the flag to be directed, and launched an all-out attack.
As a veteran of the Northern and Southern War, he naturally knows very well how much more than 5,000 sets of very strong armor will increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
However, even though she was mentally prepared, she was really excited when she saw the soldiers of the White Army Army appearing in such a rare scene, killing the thieves in front of them and throwing away their armor without losing anything.
This scene really hasn't happened in many years.
The Baigan Army can really defeat the enemy again!
……………
Besides, a crowd of people were waiting at the top of Wei Hui City. When they heard the loud shouts of killing in the distance, they all became suspicious.
what's the situation?
Are reinforcements really coming to rescue Wei Hui?
How is this possible? Where did the imperial court get reinforcements?
Could it be that this is another rogue trick?
None of them, including Huang Shu, believed that there would be reinforcements. Instead, they shouted loudly and ordered the defenders on the city to be on tight alert to prevent the thieves from taking advantage of them.
In short, don't believe the thieves outside the city no matter how they perform or what happens.
In this way, the bandits will have no choice but to stop Wei Hui!
While they were thinking this and being on guard nervously, they were surprised to find that a bandit appeared in their field of vision and fled this way.
"Have you seen it? The thieves are playing tricks again. Don't let your guard down and be on guard!"
Huang Shu shouted loudly and explained to the top of the city. No one here knew better than him that Wei Hui would never have reinforcements coming.
