Chapter 433: The Heavenly Army Looking for Death

The gunpowder of the Tianci Army is the biggest bug at this time, if Tong Guan and Yao Pingzhong can correctly view the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder", they will definitely not choose to break through from the Jiyang Bridge.

Niu Gao's order is naturally the most secure, but unfortunately it is not the disciplined Li Zhan who accepts the order, nor Yang Zaixing, who seems to be reckless but is quite disciplined in the fight, but the little strong breeder Niu Tong who held his breath.

Niu Tong has been very unhappy recently, because everything has been compared to Yang Zaixing. It's just that his martial arts are not as good as the bear child, but he is older than Yang Zaixing. The most infuriating thing is that the woman Yang Zaixing likes is Yun Niang, who is quite respected in the Tianci Alliance, and Catherine, whom Niu Tong likes, sees that Yun Niang is respectful, and Niu Tong is even more angry in his heart.

What Niu Tong, who was holding his breath, wanted to do most was to make greater achievements and compare Yang Zaixing, so he did not choose to refuse to defend the bridge, but to fight with the three thousand Tianci army against the bridge.

At that time, Han Xinxin's 10,000 soldiers and horses lined up the backwater array, which not only defeated 200,000 enemies, but also led to the emergence of the idiom "fighting on the back". But Han Xin also ambushed 2,000 light cavalry outside, and took advantage of the situation to attack the Zhao army's camp, and the Zhao army was defeated by the front and rear attacks.

The most important thing is that Han Xin used the "death and resurrection" recorded in the war book, and behind the 3,000 Tianci army was the Jiyang Bridge, and I don't know what this battle would look like.

Yao Pingzhong didn't believe it at first when he heard the report of Tanma Lanqi, so he first came to the former enemy to check it in person, and then let Niu Tong be stunned. These 3,000 heaven-given troops, are they looking for death?

Yao Pingzhong's ancestors had been a general in the Western army for generations, and he fought with the Western Xia army at the Zangdi River at the age of eighteen. He has always been calm and brave in battle, but today he saw the unreasonable behavior of the Tianci Army, and he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

can easily defeat the enemy army, who wants to kill the appearance of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Therefore, Yao Pingzhong immediately divided his 50,000 infantry into three teams, even if he couldn't win a battle, after three rounds of attacks, he believed that he could completely defeat the 3,000 Tianci army.

Although Niu Tong asked Brother Eleven for some "gadgets" when he left Shezhou, if he wanted to fight against the bridge, he still had too few ballistas and Xiangyang cannons. Although there were seventy teams of veterans of the Mandarin Duck Array to suppress the formation, it was still too reckless to use 3,000 Tianci troops against 15,000 elites of the Western Army.

The first group of 5,000 Western troops slowly pressed over, and immediately accelerated their charge after withstanding the sparse explosive ballista attack. Compared with the Fanhan Army, the Western Army really deserves to be the most elite official army in the Great Song Dynasty.

There were too few Xiangyang cannons and ballistas, and the "gadgets" given by Brother Eleven had to be saved for use at critical moments, so the Tianci Army withstood two rounds of shooting from the crossbows of the Western Army.

There are 1,000 heavy shield spearmen in the 3,000 Tianci army, and then 70 teams of mandarin duck soldiers are removed, and most of the rest are sword and shield soldiers. Although there were enough shields, the strong crossbows of the Western Army still brought a lot of casualties to the Heavenly Army.

Seeing that it was time for the hand-to-hand encounter, all kinds of gunpowder shells were thrown out from behind the shield array, and the Western soldiers who rushed to the front were empty. The first time you charge into battle, you can reach the distance where the Tianci army throws gunpowder bombs, and the fighting consciousness of the Western Army is really much stronger than that of the Fanhan Army. Baidu

The shield array was abruptly separated, and the veteran of the Mandarin Duck Array, who was suppressed by the crossbow arrows and couldn't raise his head, immediately rushed out. In the past, the Mandarin Duck Formation was slowly advancing, but today's veterans of the Tianci Army held back their anger and went crazy like Niu Tong.

Seventy teams of mandarin duck tanks pushed over, and the Western Army, which was already dizzy by gunpowder bombs, was immediately killed and retreated. The lightly armed sword and shield soldiers and the spearmen who threw down the heavy shields chased after them, and the crossbows that the Tianci Army had not used for a long time finally began to exert their might.

Crossbow bolts have a low lethality against shields, but it's not the same when chasing after an enemy's butt.

The first western army was defeated, and the Tianci army immediately shrank to the river and lined up again, putting on a posture of only defending but not attacking. It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but the military order received by Niu Tong is to block Yao Pingzhong's 15,000 western army, prevent them from supporting Xiuning City, and not let Yao Pingzhong join Wu Jue, who is ambushed near the left side of Baiyue Mountain. In this way, defense becomes inevitable.

When the second team of the Western Army slowly advanced forward, Yao Pingzhong ordered the casualties to be counted, and then gasped. In the first battle, nearly 1,000 Western soldiers were lost, how was this battle fought?

It can't be blamed that Yao Pingzhong was surprised, when the two armies came and went to fight each other, they didn't kill too many people, and most of the dead people were when they were defeated and fled. The same is true of the first battle, the crossbows of the Tianci army are left to be used in pursuit, and the western army is chased and shot by crossbow arrows, which is very scared in my heart, and I don't care about what I stepped on, and there are not a few soldiers of the Western army who trample on each other and die.

The Tianci Army's sense of battle is really strong, even if there is a spacious bridge behind it, not a single deserter has ever appeared from beginning to end. Although the Western Army was the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, it was too far from discipline, Yao Pingzhong had increased the number of soldiers from 300 to 1,000, but there were still soldiers trying to flee the battlefield. The main reason is that the gunpowder weapon is too scary, not to mention the fire and thunder, it can also blow out a large piece of gravel and small iron slag, and you will be injured if you touch the edge. In this era, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was as high as 70 to 80 percent.

Yao Pingzhong had already sent a scout horse to look for several laps, but he still hadn't found the altar and the Taoist priest who practiced the law, but the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder" still smashed into the military formation of the Western Army like no money.

The three western armies had already taken turns to fight once, but they still failed to defeat the Tianci army on the side of the bridge, but lost more than 2,000 soldiers.

Yao Pingzhong had to examine himself, and felt that he should defeat the Tianci army at once with an absolute superiority of troops, rather than using the wheel warfare method.

Once again, the capable Western soldiers were integrated, and Yao Pingzhong ordered the whole army to be dispatched. The Western Army marched forward slowly, then trotted, and then ran. Yao Pingzhong had already seen that if he wanted to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and if he wanted to avoid the terrible weapons of the Heavenly Army, the only way was to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The fast-running Western sergeant sprinted forward with a desperate dash under the cover of the crossbow arrows in the rear.

There are many kinds of crossbows in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Army is obviously equipped with the best. Niu Tong also regretted it a little at this time, because the casualties of the Tianci Army were also not small. At this time, there is no need to talk about the question of victory or defeat, just after so many casualties, his father Comrade Lao Niu can skin him.

The Western sergeants who rushed to the front were devastated, because they were about to face the first wave of gunpowder shells.
