Chapter 489: The Fierceness of War
Under Xue Wu's arrangement, the heavy shield hands of the Liang army were unanimously in front, and the original intention was to form a shield array at the time of the decisive battle to deal with the Qin army's arrow array, and then the shield array was separated, and the infantry army was killed.
This is also the basic tactics studied by the Liang army before the war, taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
But now, everything was disrupted, and the first thing to face was not the Qin army's arrow array, but the cavalry that surrounded the two wings.
The sudden change made the Liang army somewhat in a hurry, many people had just erected their shields, and the infantry army ran behind, the halberd had not yet been erected, and the war horse had rushed in from the gap between the two shields!
The powerful impact force made the Liang troops on both sides howl and fly upside down.
And that's just the tip of the battlefield.
Of course, there are also many Liang troops, with heavy shields in front and halberds behind, waiting for the war horses to rush closer, and directly stabbing the halberds together, stabbing the Qin cavalry into a hornet's nest.
Although the cavalry died, the momentum of the horses did not decrease, and the people turned on their backs.
The whole scene was filled with the sound of crashing, screaming, and neighing of horses.
The iron cavalry of the Qin State, the elite cavalry, most of them are the war horses captured during the expedition to Xirong, these horses, tall and strong, charge up, and their momentum is very terrifying!
And on the land of a flat river, the cavalry is criss-crossed, which is definitely a nightmare for the infantry army!
And Xiao Yuan's military order is that the cavalry on both wings does not have to fight, and the main task is to disrupt the shield array of the Liang army and create conditions for the main force to annihilate the enemy.
Therefore, looking down from the sky, in the entire battlefield, in the front row of the Liang army, two long dragons composed of war horses, with billowing dust and smoke, staggered from the left and right......
At the same time, the Qin army's foot soldiers had pressed dozens of steps forward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock"
The exhilarating drums of war sounded.
"Arrow Preparation"
The handsome flag shook, and the generals of all the departments drew their swords from their waists.
The sound of neat armor rubbing!
The first few rows of soldiers of the Qin army raised their bows and arrows one after another, and directly filled them up, with the same movements, pointing obliquely to the sky.
"Put"
Xiao Yuan pointed at his sword.
Buzz!
The sound of the bowstrings loosening in unison produced a great movement!
Tens of thousands of arrows, shot at the same time, seemed to tear the air!
Black clouds are rising!
From behind Xiao Yuan, above his head, he swept by.
The dense arrows obscured the sun in the sky, making that moment, even have the feeling of a black curtain coming.
It's just that it feels fleeting, because the speed of the arrow is so fast!
It's overwhelming, sweeping down!
A large black curtain smashed into the camp of the Liang Army.
Plop puff plop!
Almost instantly, the ground was filled with carved feathers.
With countless corpses and a series of howls.
How many people were shot to the ground.
How many people were nailed into hedgehogs.
On the feet, on the head, on the shoulders, on the chest, one by one sharp arrows, piercing through the armor, nailed to the top, shocking!
Without the protection of the shield array, this round of arrow array was too big a blow to the Liang army, and I don't know how many soldiers died under the arrows.
After the arrow array, in addition to the carvings and corpses all over the ground, a large open space appeared in the front row of the Liang army in an instant.
And the Qin army's arrow array, alone in the world, has a large scale, wide coverage, and long range, which has long surpassed the other countries, and at such a distance, the Liang army's crossbowmen cannot launch a return fire at all.
Fortunately, King Liang is a monarch, and his side is naturally extremely protective.
As soon as the arrow array swept in, it was surrounded for the first time.
Although the shield array of the Liang army was scattered by the cavalry, there were still many shield hands, and the shields in front of the Liang King were erected from time to time, and there was a clanging sound from time to time.
He was under protection, his face was so gloomy that he cried out:
"Rush! Give me the arrow array that rushed through the Qin army!! ”
"Assault of the whole army!" Xue Wu's sword was held high, and the handsome flag was waved.
"Kill"
With the supreme order here, the Liang soldiers behind also burst out with a loud shout, holding their war knives in their hands, and rushed forward frantically.
The whole scene seemed to be moving fast, and the sound of chaotic footsteps was mixed with the roars of people.
The second round of the Qin army's arrow array has arrived again!
In an instant, a large area of life was harvested.
But this did not stop the charge of the Liang army.
As the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, the Qin army's crossbowmen were well-trained, and under the handsome banner, they directly retracted their bows and retreated, and staggered forward with the halberd infantry army.
At this time, in the process of charging, the Liang army crossbowmen also picked up their bows and launched a return fire.
Random arrows are coming.
"Shield"
Rumble! Boom!
The heavy vertical shields on one side after another, as if they were tightly sealed, formed a steel mirror, and the random arrows were like raindrops, hitting them without causing much threat at all.
"Anti-pressure Liang Jun!!"
With an order, the Qin army raised its shield in the front row and began to press forward!
This is also the consistent characteristic of the Qin army's operations, no matter how many enemy troops they face, they will be overwhelmed by momentum first.
The distance between the two sides has been narrowed again.
Then, the heavy shield smashed to the ground, and the halberds were erected on top of the vertical shield, and they stabbed out in unison!
Blood splattered.
In just a moment, a row of people is like cutting wheat.
Where the two armies clashed, it was cruel and bloody!
In the face of the thorny halberd, many Liang soldiers raised their swords, howled, jumped up, fearless of death, and pounced on them.
From the ferocity of its soldiers, it is not difficult to see the combat strength of its army.
But they faced the Qin army, which was also brave and good at fighting, and was called a tiger wolf!
This battle was fought extremely fiercely.
At the same time, the cavalry led by Peng Shuang, after the impact, circled back again and joined the battlefield from the flanks.
On the side of the Liang army, under the command of King Liang, his cavalry also began to make a roundabout attack.
The scene descended into a scuffle.
Begin the pure courage of the soldiers!
King Liang returned to the chariot and sat in the army, Wang Jian pointed and roared:
"Chariots Out of the Battle"
The infantry quickly separated.
The chariots, hung with thick maces and other sharp weapons, were pulled by several war horses, and the soldiers on the chariots couldn't stop whipping their horses.
"Driving"
The war horses were in pain, galloped with their lives, and the chariots rolled up dust and rushed into the crowd.
On the Qin army's side, they quickly reacted, and someone formed an inclined shield array, using the angle to tilt the wheels of the chariot, and it fell to the ground with a bang, dragging it far away.
There are also generals who command loudly: "Hook the horse's legs"
The halberd with a hook, under the qi out, the war horse neighed, and the chariot was directly snatched down, but it still carried momentum and crashed into a large row of Qin troops in front.
For the chariot of the Liang army, the Qin army has already done a certain amount of research and targeting, so it has not had a perfect effect at all.
King Liang, who looked at the overall situation in the rear, his face became more and more gloomy.
Because from the perspective of the entire battlefield, the strength of the Liang army has long been suppressed!
The destruction of the grain and grass camp, the cavalry attack, the rage of the arrow array, and all kinds of battle conditions added together, this decisive battle, the Liang army has been a failure.
It's just that King Liang is still unwilling to be reconciled, but he has an army of 500,000!
