Chapter 806: Sunrise in the East (31)

The loud military horn, the rumbling drums, the neat pace, one by one phalanx in the direction of the Donghu army, slowly pressing, although the degree is not fast, but the scene of tens of thousands of people marching forward in a phalanx is still shocking and unspeakable.

In the phalanx, the front row is still the pikemen holding iron spears several meters long, behind them, the crossbowmen hold their arms and crossbows in their hands, and in the rear, the bed crossbows set up on the carts are pushed by the soldiers with axles, but the long-range attack weapons are not ambiguous at all.

Thorpe took a deep breath, it was the last moment, and although the other party's move was obviously contemptuous, it also played into his arms.

"The troops of the Young Guards must be a descendant of Gao Yuan, it is difficult to fight, it is not easy to work, choose Luo Weiran's troops! Thorpe was a bit of a headache from the first round of attacks that had just ended, and it seemed that it was not a defensive line made up of individuals, but a piece of reef, and he decided to try it in a different direction.

More than 10,000 tribal troops met the Young Guards, while all the palace guards were assembled and attacked the attack surface of Luo Weiran's Second Army of the Northern Army.

Zhu Tong saw the galloping palace guards, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Stop! "

The three phalanxes that were advancing in a zigzag shape began to stop advancing with the change of the drum beat, and as one foot stepped in place again and again, the formation began to change, the flatbed cart with the bed crossbow was pushed to the front, and the iron chains fixed the board carts together, the spearmen retreated behind the ballista, and the soldiers who controlled the bed crossbow gathered and began to fine-tune the shooting angle of the bed crossbow. The spearmen, on the other hand, mounted their spears on the ballista.

These bed crossbows can only shoot one round of crossbow arrows, but their huge fuselage and the flatbed cart carrying them can form a natural barrier, and the Donghu army will have to pay a greater price if they want to cross this obstacle.

Behind the spearmen. The soldiers of these phalanxes also carried huge slingshots, and at this time, the soldiers quickly dug holes in the ground about a foot deep, inserted the handles of these slingshots, and then tamped them.

The ground trembled, and he could already see the hideous face of the Donghu Palace guards on the opposite side, which was worthy of being the most elite army in Donghu. Although the first round of attacks was frustrated, they did not feel depressed in the slightest, and at this time they were still full of energy and confidently attacked the opposing army.

, the whole Donghu. That's all there is.

"Bed crossbow, shoot! Zhu Tong yelled.

In the midst of the three phalanxes, the soldiers who controlled the ballista turned over and got out of the ballista, picked up the short knives and round shields placed on the ballista, retreated behind the spearmen, crouched down, and continued their mission. It is to wait behind the spearmen, and if the Donghu soldiers can break through the pikemen's defenses, it will be their turn to come forward and fight in close combat.

Hundreds of bed crossbows firing at the same time is an extremely terrifying thing. The Donghu people couldn't imagine how the Eastern Army could load a heavy bed crossbow on a flatbed cart and push it with a few soldiers without sacrificing the power of range.

The Donghu cavalry in front controlled the horses and avoided the front of the shot, but the cavalry that followed behind and had their sight blocked, they did not have such good luck, and blood appeared. Stumps fly, both humans and horses. I was shot head-on by this thing, and there was only one end. Asunder.

"Rope cannon! "

Zhu Tong shouted again.

A huge slingshot was pulled apart by two soldiers, although the bottom of the slingshot was deeply buried, at this time there were still a few soldiers squatting on the ground, helping to fix the body of the slingshot, this weapon called the rope cannon by Zhu Tong, is a new thing that the second army just came up with, the two ends are iron hammers, connected by a long iron chain in the middle, after the cable cannon is shot out, it doesn't matter how many people are killed, the important thing is that it is a meter-long chain connecting two iron hammers, for war horses, it is a catastrophic weapon.

With a whistling sound, a rope cannon was shot out by a slingshot, in the air, two iron hammers will be more than a meter long iron company straight, first in the air high spinning and flying to the enemy group, some of the hammer directly hit the other party, smashed the brain, some luck to avoid the hammer, but was wrapped around the neck by the chain, everywhere you go, immediately a chaos, the iron chain wrapped around the horse's legs, one by one the war horses and horses lost their front hooves, even people and horses fell on the battlefield.

The bed crossbow was not fired again, but the casualties caused by this cable cannon were greater, and the overwhelming arm crossbow once again gave the Donghu army a cruel baptism.

The cannon is firing one after another, this thing doesn't care about the hit rate, it just needs to hit him into the enemy group, even if it lands in the air, it may trip the opponent's cavalry.

Thorpe himself has done one thing wrong, what he thinks is an easier force to deal with is actually not easy to deal with at all, even more difficult to deal with, if the Young Guards have an iron will, then this force is a devil from hell, they always have weapons that surprise the Donghu people.

This is the characteristic of the Second Army.

The Second Army is composed of prisoners of war from the Standing Army of Yan State who were rescued by the former Hejian County soldiers and the Eastern Army, and the current army commander Luo Weiran is also a prisoner of war, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the First Army.

However, the poor combat effectiveness does not mean that their desire to make meritorious service is weaker, on the contrary, this mood is stronger, and they want to take a good look at their prestige in front of the First Army, which has always felt superior to others, and the soldiers' plain zhì cannot be compared with the First Army, so they use their brains and work all kinds of ordnance, such as vehicle-mounted bed crossbows and cable guns, which are only equipped in the Second Army, and this is also the first time that they have been used on the battlefield.

Under his auspices, the weather of the Second Army was better than when Yan Peng was the commander, and the combat effectiveness began to rise continuously.

Thorpe concentrated the remaining 3,000 palace guards to attack the 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Army, but it was right in the arms of the Second Army, if they could defeat the famous palace guards in a head-on confrontation, then they could raise their heads high when they encountered the people of the First Army in the future.

The First Army is still fighting in Jingyuan against the Donghu miscellaneous soldiers.

Zhu Tong, Yang Fugui, Liu Yefei, Yan Hao four division commanders, three from the Yan State Standing Army, one from the Hejian County soldiers, are all authentic generals, for this kind of infantry formation against cavalry tactics, all of them are familiar.

The palace guards rushed to the opponent's lineup desperately, the flatbed car was knocked over, the bed crossbow was overturned, the rope cannon was cut by a sharp sabre, and Zhu Tong's troops were cut in two, but he did not panic at all, in the various drills beforehand, this situation did not appear before, he did not try to reunite the truncated army, but retreated to both sides, gathered soldiers and horses while retreating, and rushed past the palace guards of Zhu Tong's army and collided head-on with Yang Fugui, at this time they had killed nearly five hundred people.

Yang Fugui's team seemed to be worse than Zhu Tong's first-line troops, and this time, the palace guards only spent a pillar of incense or so to break through Yang Fugui's second line of defense.

The third line of defense is Yan Hao, and it takes more time than breaking through the second line.

The connection broke through the three lines of defense, and the palace guards seemed to see hope in front of them.

Connecting and breaking through the three lines of defense, the palace guards lost nearly a thousand people, and they made the final charge, only two thousand cavalry remained.

The palace guards are in the northern group army of the Eastern Army, like a dragon like a sea, wreaking havoc everywhere, and Thorpe's eyebrows are dancing in the distance, his own change of formation has really achieved a miraculous effect, he reached out and pressed the handle of the knife, it is time for the final attack, and by Thorpe's side, there are still the last five thousand elites left.

Strike iron to take advantage of the situation.

But his knife was only half drawn, and the situation on the battlefield changed greatly, and the three broken formations behind the palace guards swept back in the form of an inverted bead curtain, and there was no panic in the lineup that had just been broken through by the palace guards, Thorpe's heart suddenly sank, the other party was not pierced by the palace guards, but did it on purpose.

Luo Weiran did this on purpose, the first line of stubborn resistance, creating an illusion for the palace guards, making them think that they put the most elite troops on the front line, the second and third lines almost did not cause much distress to the other party, but on the last line of defense, the palace guards hit the iron plate headlong, the resistance of the Eastern Army was strong, much more fierce than the first line of defense, a blow was fruitless, not waiting for the palace guards to organize a second wave of offensive, before and after, countless Eastern Army had rolled back, Trapped them in the encirclement.

Under the flag, Luo Weiran showed a smile on his face, the pre-war rehearsal is perfectly reproduced on today's real battlefield, and he just wants someone to pile you to death.

I'm grinding you to death slowly.

He looked up at the battlefield on the other side, Gao Yuan's banner fluttered in the wind, and at this moment, Gao Yuan turned out to be personally leading the guards, directly into the core of the Donghu army, and the place he attacked was where Thorpe's royal flag was. (To be continued)
