"What is this?" Zhu Youxiao looked over there suspiciously, what happened tonight was really beyond his expectations. He originally planned to take the initiative to attack, but he didn't expect to meet Xi Li who came with a large team of people just after he went out.

It's just that at this time, the accident happened again, and the other side didn't know why, but they just used archers to protect their positions, but they didn't attack, and they have been facing each other until now, don't they understand that the more they drag, the more bad it will be for them?

But the other party is not in a hurry, he is also happy to wait, he really doesn't believe it, the feudal army on the other side has more endurance and patience than the Yulin army he trained with the PLA method.

However, the accident happened again, and a large number of fighting voices came from the south, far away under the silent night sky. Judging from the volume of the voice, the battle is estimated to have taken place on the royal road near the noon gate, and as for the two warring parties, they can guess that one side is nothing more than a rescuer and a rebel.

"It's time, can't wait any longer." Zhu Youxiao retracted his gaze and stared ahead, he shouted, waved his knife and pointed forward, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, attack!" ”

The sound of the fight not only made Zhu Youxiao stunned, but also made Xi Li stunned. Because at the beginning, Xi Li had emotions in his heart, and several people could not agree on their opinions, although Li Sancai was capable, he was not in the military, eunuchs, women, civil officials, no matter how you look at it, they have nothing to do with war.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Youxiao's strict military formation, they have been hesitating, and they have been unable to make the decision to attack, and they have been delayed until now, delayed until the rescuers entered the palace to escort them.

The sound of fighting in the distance seemed to be the life talisman of the king of Hades, and it hit the heart of Xi Li Xuan's servant hard, making her face suddenly pale and anxious. A chill came from the back of her neck, and it felt like a knife had been on her neck, ready to be cut down at any moment.

Death had already opened his hands and embraced her, and Lord Yama was smiling in hell, carrying a pen and preparing to tick her name off the book of life and death.

Panicked emotions rose from the bottom of her heart, under the threat of death, Xi Li finally showed her ruthless side, with a tense face, Xi Li tried her best to maintain a calm expression, and said to Wang Dangdang, who was already full of panic next to her, "General Wang, everything is please, please send troops immediately to exterminate the traitors." ”

Wang Dangdang was silent, his face was pale, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead, and after a while, he barely calmed down, sighed and said, "That's it, I should give you back this life." ”

Lifting his spirit, Wang Dangdang reorganized his armor and returned to his command position, where there were his own soldiers and heralds, and it was dark at night, and the troops were also temporarily integrated, gongs, drums and banners were useless, and orders could only be passed by manpower.

And at this moment, the opposite side of the gongs and drums were noisy, the military array slowly moved, in Wang Dangdang's eyes was very strange spear phalanx divided into two halves, let the cavalry in front, slowly move towards this side, after passing the cavalry, the phalanx was like a living thing, automatically healed, and formed a dense array again.

In the process of this movement, the formation of the entire phalanx is constantly adjusted, gradually changing from the zigzag shape just now to a row, like a wall, pushing forward. A large number of shouts and orders rang out in the phalanx, constantly adjusting the pace, yes, everyone was in lockstep.

This series of actions is complicated, but they all happened in an instant, after Zhu You's long-term training, these 4,000 people are like a sophisticated instrument, running in an orderly manner, completing the incredible adjustment in the eyes of others.

Wang Dangdang was stunned by this series of dazzling movements, and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief, suspecting that he was dazzled by the mistake.

He was so stunned that he even forgot to give the order, and just stared blankly, until the drum and trumpet on the opposite side to adjust the pace came clearly, and he came back to his senses and hurriedly gave the order.

"Archers release arrows!"

The hurried order caught the archers on his side a little off guard for a while, some of them opened their bows and released their arrows in time, some of them raised their bows again and pulled the strings, put on the arrows and hurriedly released them, and some of them were even more tired, and put the arrows back into the quiver, and the bows were also put on the ground by them.

At this moment, when the order to release the arrows came, they hurriedly opened their bows and arrows, and in a hurry, in order to catch up with the speed of the previous people's actions, they shot out without the bowstring being full.

Although all the archers released a round of arrows, the sparse and inconsistent arrows did not form a rain of arrows, but were like a child urinating, intermittently, which made people anxious to watch.

Zhu Youxiao's military formation was densely arranged, advancing like a wall, with spears set up straight and straight into the sky. This was the inspiration he had taken from a previous book he had read, using the left and right movement of the spear to defend against bow and arrow attacks to a certain extent.

Of course, if it is combined with the steel armor, the effect of this disturbance for protection can be maximized, and most of the arrows are either deflected by the spear or blocked by the steel armor, and basically cannot cause too much damage. However, now the Yulin Army is only equipped with leather armor, and its defensive ability is more than a step worse than steel armor.

The bows and arrows shot by the forbidden army fell intermittently on the heads of the Yulin army, and some of them were swept away by the constantly shaking spears, losing their kinetic energy, or falling to the ground, or falling on the bodies of others. The rest were not set aside, some did not hit the target, and some were not strong enough, and they really had both power and accurately hit the target, but there were only a dozen, but it was these dozen or so that it had a great impact on Zhu Youxiao's Yulin Army.

More than a dozen screams sounded one after another in the military formation, each scream, made the atmosphere of fear and panic in the military formation a little more, the arrows were all the guards drawn from the salt field, they had not experienced the battle formation, their hearts were already nervous, and now with the miserable screams, their hearts suddenly panicked, and even the pace was chaotic.

However, as soon as the recruits were disorganized, the scolding voice of the squad leader next to them rang out, severely reprimanding the panicked recruits and letting them walk with the military formation again.

Knock knock!

The drums sounded one by one, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army stepped forward step by step, strictly according to the rhythm, although they were afraid in their hearts, although there were screams of their partners next to them, but under the strict orders of the squad leader and platoon leader, everyone did not dare to act rashly, and acted in strict accordance with the military order.

And those who screamed, but found that they were not as serious as they imagined, after crossing a distance of nearly 100 meters, the arrows in the leather armor on their bodies were no longer of much power, and the terrible screams were more of the imagination and fear in their hearts. After understanding this, they didn't care about the arrows stuck in their bodies, they just let them hang on their bodies, gritting their teeth and following the drum beat.

The damage caused by the bow and arrow made Wang Dangdang frown, after the confrontation between the two sides just now, the distance between the two sides had been adjusted, and now it was almost a hundred meters apart, although the bow and arrow could be shot at this distance, but the power was not much, and it could not cause much damage at all.

"Shoot the arrows!" After a slight pause, after the archers took out the arrows again, Wang Dangdang gave another order, a distance of 100 meters, waiting for the other party to come over, enough for seven or eight rounds of salvos.

Zhu Youxiao's military formation is all used in the training method of the modern PLA, this kind of military formation marches, using three steps in unison, and the pace of walking in unison is about 120 steps a minute, while the steps of normal people, one step is about 65 centimeters, which means that the Yulin army wants to cross the distance of 100 meters, almost a minute and a half.

The rate of fire of ancient bows and arrows was about five or six rounds per minute, which meant at least seven rounds of bows and arrows fired in volleys. Every more than ten meters, there is a round of arrow rain coming, from the initial sparse to the later dense, the soldiers of the Yulin Army in such a harsh environment walked forward with difficulty.

The people in front fell, and the ones in the back were filled, and there would never be a vacancy, and the formation was always intact, and the spears were also shaking from side to side as best they could, protecting themselves as much as possible. Now on the battlefield, what the instructors once told them about what they taught was clearly surfaced under the pressure of death, and they thoroughly understood it.

And the former instructor standing next to them, and now their squad leader and platoon leader, also gave them great courage, and the squad leader's stern reprimand brought them an incomparable sense of familiarity, as if they had returned to the training ground of the salt field.

This familiarity recalmed their flustered and nervous hearts, and also rejuvenated their stiff and cold limbs, and the hands that had been holding the spear were clenched again. Although people kept falling on the road, the people next to them had long since lost their initial fear.

The most tense moment has passed, all the soldiers of the Yulin Army strictly follow the content of the training, bow their heads, protect their faces that cannot be covered by their helmets, and then shake their spears as much as they can to shoot down the incoming arrows, and then rely on the protective ability of leather armor, silently withstand the attack, and keep walking forward until they touch the enemy.

Every scream sounded, making Zhu Youxiao's heart twitch, and his heart was extremely distressed, as long as these fallen and dead people went through tonight's battle, they were all veterans, veterans who had been trained for a long time and had seen blood, they were all the backbone of the future army.

Every fallen soldier makes Zhu Youxiao feel distressed, but this is essential, this is the palace, although the place is wide enough, but almost tens of thousands of people are crowded here at once, and all the places have been occupied, there is no place to detour, and this is the only way to go to the Qianqing Palace, if you want to go to the Qianqing Palace, you must break through the barrier of the forbidden army.

The opponent has a bow and arrow, and it can exert great power in such a place, and there will be losses no matter what.

"As the old saying goes, Ci is not in charge of the army, and sure enough." Zhu Youxiao thought silently with blood dripping in his heart.

This is an extremely cruel tactic, with flesh and blood to resist the bow and arrow, but Zhu Youxiao has no way, the musket spear infantry phalanx is incomplete, not only lacks steel armor, but also lacks the most important long-range attack ability, can only rely on this stupid method of sacrificing his life to rush forward.

As for the cavalry around him, Zhu You's capital at that time could never be used easily, if he failed, he would rely on these cavalry to kill out of the palace, go straight to Tianjin, and flee to the sea. He must not die here easily, to put it mildly, his life is worth more than anyone here, that is the hope of Huaxia to reverse the darkness of the next hundred years.

Besides, a mere 200 cavalry, even if they were all dressed in iron armor, was not enough in front of a forbidden army of 4,000 long and short weapons, and 500 archers. can only rely on the spear phalanx to squeeze the opponent, hand-to-hand combat.
