The soldiers of the Third Army of Black Tiger City were divided into five parts. Because the grassland beside the Biyu River was a little small and could not accommodate all the soldiers, the troops of Black Tiger City were divided into five parts. Each one was square in shape. Those in the first row
The soldiers are pikemen and hairy soldiers, the only difference is that the spears in their hands are much shorter than the spears.
After the spearmen came the sword and shield soldiers. Every soldier in Black Tiger City carried a wooden shield. This was their preparation for storming the iron mining area, and now they will be used on the battlefield.
The army in the Xiliang camp is a whole, while the Black Tiger City army seems to be divided into formations, but the distance between each of their formations is not too far from the previous formation. It should be for the convenience of command, and there are other benefits of that
One is that when the troops from both sides are fighting at the front and the winner cannot be determined, the Black Tiger City troops can easily attack from both sides.
This was of some use to ordinary troops, but not of much use to the army in the Xiliang camp. Li Xiang had never thought of using spearmen as the protagonists of this battle.
The protagonists of Xiliang's army are archers. Archers account for more than half of the 900 soldiers.
If Li Xiang can't make use of these archers, then he doesn't deserve to train in the training camp for so long.
Archers are very important to the army. They can kill and suppress enemies. However, the training of archers has always been a problem. A qualified archer cannot be trained in a few months like other soldiers.
.
Therefore, the number of archers appearing in the army is not too many. Each one is very valuable. In siege, defense, and field battles, no matter what battlefield the archers are on, they are an important unit. Sometimes, troops are sent out for special protection.
Archer.
There are four hundred archers in the Xiliang camp. These archers are not the kind who just pick up a bow and shoot a few arrows and then think they are archers. They have extremely powerful arrows. Within sixty or seventy steps, they can hit anything without saying anything.
, but there is no problem in shooting people in the head.
With four hundred archers like this, would Li Xiang still foolishly fight a bloody battle with his opponent?
Prime Minister Li waved his hand, and the spearmen sped up. Needless to say, the archers behind had already taken out their long arrows. They did not speed up and moved forward at a gentle speed. They were protected by spearmen on both sides.
Li Xiang led the swordsmen and spearmen at the front, Li Mu commanded the archers, Li Jin commanded the spearmen on the left, and Li Tu was in charge of the rear troops to prevent a sneak attack from behind from Black Tiger City.
Li Huo and Li Shui led fifty swordsmen as a mobile force. When there was a problem with the frontline troops, they caught up as soon as possible.
Li Xiang walked to the front of the army. The soldiers on the left and right marched in neat steps. Lin Li pointed his spear in front of him in the cold light. On the other side, the soldiers of the Third Army of Black Tiger City also advanced with their spears.
This is their first large-scale dispatch, and also their first battle since the establishment of the Third Army. They must win a jackpot.
On Xiliang's side, this was also the first time that Li Xiang led an army to fight head-on. Previously, on the side of the bamboo forest, there were sneak attacks, with more troops attacking less troops. This time, the number of troops on both sides was almost the same.
"Tiger!"
When the troops from both sides entered fifty steps, the Black Tiger City army shouted loudly, and the soldiers were uniformly shouting with this shout. The nervous hearts of the soldiers became calm, and there was only what was in front of them in their eyes.
Get the enemy.
Li Xiang heard the other party's shouting. As the voices became louder and louder, the other party's morale would become higher and higher.
Morale is very important to an army. Morale sometimes determines the outcome of a battle. Although Xiliang soldiers are not affected by them, if the opponent becomes stronger, won't Xiliang soldiers be in danger?
They had to shout something. The Xiliang soldiers were all big men, and their voices were much louder than those of those people.
Just then a strong wind blew over, making Li Xiang feel a little cold.
wind!
Li Xiang shouted to the soldier next to him: "Wind!"
Prime Minister Li's voice was so loud that all the soldiers in the first row heard it. They recognized the voice of the lord, and several soldiers beside Prime Minister Li followed him. These soldiers were originally the messengers of Prime Minister Li.
Soldiers, that is, soldiers who specialize in shouting.
"wind!"
As soon as several people shouted, the soldiers in the first phalanx shouted loudly. The soldiers from Xiliang all shouted, and their voices were much stronger than those from Black Tiger City.
Li Mu, who was at the back, heard the "wind!" coming from the front. At this time, Li Xiang and his party at the front of the first phalanx were less than twenty steps away from the Black Tiger City troops. The Black Tiger City army had already entered.
Within the archer's attack range.
Li Mu raised the flag in his hand and waved: "Let it go!"
The long arrows in the hands of the archers flew out instantly. After the archers in the front two rows released their arrows, they immediately paused and reloaded their arrows. The archers in the back two rows then shot out the arrows in their hands.
The Black Tiger City soldiers were frightened by the loud shouting of the Xiliang soldiers. Then they used a louder voice to suppress the Xiliang soldiers' voices, and black speechless clouds appeared in the sky.
The frontline commander of the Third Army of Black Tiger City paid attention to the sky. When he saw the sky darkening and countless long arrows flying towards him, he immediately shouted: "Raise your shield!"
The well-trained soldiers of the Third Army quickly raised their shields. When the shields were raised, the long arrows fell on the position of the soldiers of the Third Army.
They raised their shields to block the rain of arrows, but they were also delayed with the troops in front. The Xiliang soldiers were not shooting at the front. Attacking the soldiers at the front could easily cause accidental damage. Their archers were from the middle of the Third Army.
Military troops.
"kill!"
Li Xiang ignored the rain of arrows, because the Black Tiger City troops were already in front of him. The sharp spears pierced him, and the iron halberd drew an arc in the sky and hit a soldier of the Third Army with the force of a mountain.
brush!
A head fell to the ground, but the body had not yet fallen. The bloody halberd entered the Third Legion soldiers, stabbing forward and pulling back. The barbs and sharp blades on the halberd showed their style at this moment.
The Xiliang soldiers thrust forward with their spears, and the Black Tiger City soldiers thrust their spears forward as well. A large number of soldiers from both sides fell immediately.
From time to time, the sound of Xiliang archers shooting long arrows could be heard in the sky. Even if the Black Tiger City troops were charging forward, even if they were carrying shields, the soldiers would continue to fall.
The two sides entered into a tangled battle from the beginning, with soldiers falling every moment. The follow-up troops in Black Tiger City were somewhat disconnected from the front-line troops due to the Xiliang archers.
Li Xiang waved his iron halberd, and the Black Tiger City soldiers in front of him fell one after another. The two sides maintained their basic formations. If they were scattered out of the formation among the army, the only outcome would be death. The battlefield was constantly challenged, and killing the enemy was important here.
For the Lord, every spear and every shot is aimed at the fatal spot!
