Episode 189: Fierce Battle

With more than 10,000 people, boundless, accompanied by Li Yan's order, the Yizhou official army rushed into battle strongly, and launched the most ferocious impact on the Ganning army in the continuous sound of horns.

Gan Ning pressed the long knife in his hand, and watched the Yizhou officials and troops attacking, without the slightest change of color, a thousand steps, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps......., until the officials and troops approached to three hundred steps, he shouted and ordered: "Three shots, round shots, attack!" ”

In front of the Taiping army, three thousand archers stood in three rows, and when they heard the order of General Gan Ning, the first row immediately opened their bows and released the strings, and then, thousands of arrows flew out of the air.

After the first row of arrows, he immediately took a step back, and the second row stepped forward, opening the bow and arrows cleanly, and then the third row stepped forward in shifts, and the same bow and arrows were released, and in an instant, tens of thousands of sharp arrows flew down, like a torrential rain, covering the sky and shrouding down.

The officers and soldiers of Yizhou rushed forward, and encountered such a rain of arrows attacking, in a hurry, it was difficult to resist, and suddenly the screams came and went, one after another, many officers and soldiers did not have time to react, they were shot into a sieve, only this wave of arrow rain, it caused thousands of casualties.

"Three-stage shot, double shot, sortie!"

War means killing and death, endless blood, although Gan Ning has not joined the Taiping Army for a long time, but the attack on Jingzhou, he has really experienced several hard battles, life and death, he has already seen a lot, the enemy's wail, can not move Gan Ning's heart at all, he did not hesitate to order again, make what he thinks is the most correct order.

"Zheng-Zheng-Zheng-"

The archers took turns to shoot, throwing in unison, and tens of thousands of feathered arrows shot through the void, overwhelming the sky, turning into a boundless rain of arrows, cascading down in layers.

"Ahh The terrible screams and howls continued one after another, and under the rain of arrows, a large number of Yizhou officials and soldiers fell on the road of the charge.

Li Yan saw it in his eyes, and his face became more and more heavy, although he had already expected it. But he still couldn't help but be surprised by the combat strength of the Taiping army, and only these two waves of arrows took the lives of two or three thousand soldiers under his command, but. His soldiers had not yet rushed a hundred paces in front of the enemy's formation when they were hit by such a ferocious blow, which really made his heart very heavy.

"Soldiers, do not panic, they have a limited number of archers. As long as we rush to the front of the battle, it is useless. Taking a deep breath, Li Yan immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Don't forget, they are thieves, if they let them capture Yizhou, our relatives and friends will all face a catastrophe!" ”

Hearing Li Yan's words, those Yizhou officials and soldiers who were originally a little afraid suddenly began to redden! For them, the Taipings were thieves who had come to invade their homeland. Only by driving these thieves out of Yizhou can their families continue to enjoy a peaceful life! In an instant, the morale of the officers and soldiers of Yizhou was once again high, and the soldiers roared angrily, gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

"Three-stage shot, flat shot, sortie!"

Strike again, this time the archers were no longer the same as the previous two rounds of projectiles, the enemy was already within a hundred paces, and they were all shooting straight flat. The arrow pointed at the fierce and angry Yizhou officials.

Sharp cold light, terrible screams, and falling bodies. It is the most cruel and merciless fight, war, this is the most real war.

"Damn!" At this moment, Li Yan's face was pale, and his lips were bitten by him, oozing a blood stain. He never thought that there were such powerful archers under the command of the Taiping Army, and seeing that the soldiers of the Yizhou Army under his command had already lost thousands of people before they rushed in front of the enemy, his heart was as distressed as if he had been cut by a knife!

The gun-wielding young general behind him saw it, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward and clenched his fists and shouted, "My lord! Let the last general go! I led a team of elite soldiers to rush up, even if I couldn't break through the enemy's large formation, at least I could hinder their archers' covering attack and reduce the casualties of the soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Li Yan was really a little hesitant, but when he saw a soldier of the Mingyizhou Army in front of him died tragically under the enemy's arrows, but, relying on the successive charges of the soldiers, after paying nearly 5,000 casualties, the soldiers in front had already forced ten steps before the opponent's army formation, he was ruthless, and said coldly: "Zhang Yi, don't forget, you are now the general of the left army, and you are burdened with heavy responsibilities, how can you act arbitrarily, endure it, you must hold back, as long as the two armies are in battle, their archers will not be able to release arrows." ”

"No!" Although there was an unexpressible resentment in his heart, Zhang Yi still responded to the military order, and no longer moved lightly, but the almost distorted face on his face clearly showed his anger at this moment, like a volcano about to erupt, and the temperature was constantly rising.

"Kill!" The former soldiers risked their lives to move forward, seeing that a Yizhou officer and sergeant at the front had broken through to the front of the Taiping army, he roared angrily, raised his big knife and slashed down towards a Taiping sergeant.

"Spearman, stab!" As the commander of the army, he is most afraid of shaking the heart of the army before the battle, even if the enemy has rushed to the front, Gan Ning's face still does not change at all, and he orders in a deep voice, and his words are killed.

With Gan Ning's order, the Taiping army's military formation changed instantly, and the three thousand spearmen were divided into two rows, advancing forward in unison, and between raising their hands, the front row of 1,500 spears stabbed out in unison!

"Poof-" The officers and soldiers of Yizhou who had just rushed to the front didn't have time to react, and before they could make a move, they were pierced through their bodies by spears one by one.

The gunmen in the front row quickly retreated, and the back row immediately struck, and the sharp spears pierced the air and pierced the bodies of the officers and soldiers of Yizhou who rushed forward one by one.

Compared with the Yizhou officers and soldiers who have been baptized by the rain of arrows and have been in chaos, it is obvious that the soldiers of the Taiping Army have a strong formation and a fierce offensive, which has brought great damage to the Yizhou officers and soldiers in a short period of time.

However, with the passage of time, more and more officers and soldiers of the Yizhou army rushed to the front of the formation, no matter how calm and commanding Rao is Gan Ning, it is impossible to continue to maintain the formation and fight with the other party, and the soldiers of the two sides quickly stuck together, and launched a chaotic army fight.

"The whole army obeys the order, follow me to kill the enemy!" The fight between the two armies is inevitable, Gan Ning naturally will not be polite, and he stepped forward at the moment, the long knife in his hand flowed, and the battle spirit broke out, sweeping through the surrounding several square circles, and in the blink of an eye, he killed a lot of Yizhou officers and soldiers.

Under the leadership of Gan Ning, the soldiers of the Taiping Army broke out with extremely high morale, and launched the most fierce counterattack against the other side in the continuous sound of horns!

"Boom!" The unspeakable collision, the two armies were completely strangled in one place, especially on the front where the two armies met, it was like a meat grinder, countless blood lights flew up, and in the blink of an eye, I don't know how many soldiers of the two armies died in battle!

Although the Taiping Army is extremely brave, but today's Yizhou Army is not the Yizhou Army led by Liu Zhang more than ten years later, under the command of Liu Yan, an old warlord, the officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army still maintain a strong combat effectiveness that other local officers and soldiers do not have, and it is precisely because of this that they can fight head-on with the Taiping Army!

Rao is Gan Ning was reluctant in his heart, but he also had to admit that the bravery shown by the officials and soldiers of Yizhou was really extraordinary, and the battle of Ba County, they were able to go so smoothly, it was completely because of the blessing of Li Ping, so that Yan Yan could stumble in front of the battle, and they were able to successfully win Ba County.

The official army of Yizhou is an opponent worth faceting! However, Gan Ning was not afraid, and immediately ordered again and again, leading the Taiping army to keep rushing and killing, but there was an uneasiness in his heart, and it was getting bigger and bigger, while rushing to kill the enemy, he couldn't stop shouting: "Where is the enemy?" Dare to fight me! ”

Hearing that the enemy general was inviting to fight, the generals of the Yizhou official army who were killing the enemy suddenly had a few people ready to move, especially Zhang Yi, but they were stopped by Li Yan: "Don't rashly fight him, just kill the enemy, as long as you drag them, victory will definitely belong to us!" ”

His voice fell, and suddenly, there was a high-pitched shouting of killing not far away, and immediately, two soldiers and horses came from the left and right! (To be continued.) )
