In the distance, a large number of people and flags surged one after another, some stopped in place, some people in front continued to move forward, and the cavalry on both wings was also moving. Farther on the hillside, foot riders are also moving according to certain rules. The crowd of 100,000 people is like a huge war machine, slowly moving and making loud noise!

In this backward era of small-scale peasant economy and nomadic herding, countless people have shown the highest degree of organization of the times in the battle formation, and have also concentrated a large amount of resources within the reach of the productive forces.

Guo Shao stood on the hillside, observing every part of the mist without saying a word. It can be seen that the rhythm of the coalition offensive is very calm...... They deployed a force of cavalry on the flank between the front and rear of the Daxu army, monitored Cao Bin's department, and concentrated their forces on biting the more than 40,000 Xu army infantry cavalry of the front army between this ravine, and it seemed that the situation was indeed good.

Guo Shao paid attention to the wooden stakes on the battlefield, about 1,200 feet away from the front line of the Xu army, where the coalition forces had concentrated more than 50,000 infantry and lined up there. There are hundreds of phalanxes alone, forming a large array with a wide horizontal plane and a great depth.

The main force of the enemy's cavalry was still farther behind, and the cavalry on both wings of the infantry army had different clothes and armor, and there was a kind of ragged appearance, not like the elite cavalry of the Liao army.

In a few moments, the forward infantry of the coalition army continued to advance uphill without stopping, with a strength of about 4,000 or possibly 5,000. Below the hillside, drums beat loudly.

......The vigorous horns of the bull horns sounded in unison, swept through the noisy crowd in the wind, and leaped between the countless valleys.

On the hillside, a row of heralds waved the two-color flag in unison with their left and right hands, with a red heart on the left hand and a black heart on the right hand. The red flag is backward and the black flag is forward, repeatedly staggered and danced.

The front of the Xu army immediately heard the loud shouting and scolding of the generals. The troops were suddenly staggered, and the four rows of infantry with spears in front turned around and passed between the gaps between the arms and hands of the gods in the back of the queues; Then the heavy infantry in the rear, wearing steel helmets, and holding swords and shields, moved to the front.

The enemy soldiers with all kinds of weapons have come up along the gentle hillside, and countless people have trampled the loess into dust, and the strange cry of "Wow Wow La...... is like a large group of wild beasts rushing out of the mountains.

The soldiers of the Xu army all widened their eyes, staring at the red-eyed crowd of people who were dressed in iron like savages, holding knives, guns, sticks, and shields.

A general in the crowd above shouted, "Da Xu will win!" ”

"Hurrah...... the cries of the armies suppressed the noise on the battlefield. Drink! The heavy infantry, in a neat formation, lifted their finely crafted iron-clad wooden shields and placed them on their shields with one-handed swords in their hands.

A group of enemy soldiers in the middle rushed forward with a shout within a hundred paces, and the chirping of the people did not know what to mean, but the voices of the people were filled with nervousness, fear, and angry roars.

"Ready!" "Prepare ......," shouted the commanders, drawing their swords.

"Bang!" A gong sounded, and the divine arm of the commander in the middle raised his bow and arrow, and there was no need to aim, and the string of "crackling ......" sounded, and a rain of black arrows in the air filled the sky.

"Put!" "Putting ......"

In an instant, enemy soldiers from all over the horizontal area rushed up and killed, and arrows flew up and down in the air. The falling arrows hit Xu Jun's iron armor and "clanged", and a miserable scream was heard from time to time.

In the middle place, there were first short-handed soldiers, and between the crowds, there were many people and very dense people, so they only saw swords waving. In fact, people are very slow to swing their weapons, and they are all slashing hard! The force is too small to be in vain, both sides are holding shields, and Xu Jun is also wearing heavy armor.

"Bang!" A party man shouted and hit Xu Jun's shield with a wooden shield, and with his momentum, the soldier fell back half a step and grabbed the horse. The dang man immediately picked up the mace and swung it down, and with the first "clang", it smashed on the shoulder armor, smashing the soldier screaming, and the shield also fell, but he immediately picked up the iron sword and stabbed it at the gap of the dang xiang's wooden shield, and immediately blood splashed his face.

A soldier next to him was stabbed into the breastplate with a knife, screaming loudly in pain.

In front of Xu Jun, the queue was turbulent, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sparks of iron impact shone like gold stars in the yellow dust. The contact area of the battle was very limited, but the divine arm on the hillside fired at the approaching party infantry, killing and wounding a lot. The most terrible place to fight ahead, but the most casualties are the deep shooting and killing of bows and arrows.

The heavy infantry in front fought bloodily, with crazy enemy soldiers in front and dense ranks of their own families behind, and there was no way forward and backward, so they could only fight desperately!

The military general shouted not far away: "Whoever takes a step back, slash!" ”

The military band played a rousing tune with horizontal drums and trumpets, and the scribes of the herald system of 100 people were also loudly encouraging their morale, the generals were shouting and scolding, and the scribes were praising the soldiers with all kinds of noble words...... But none of this can eliminate the bloodshed, pain, and fear of the soldiers.

The crowd on the hillside handed over the front line, and the screams and shouts were louder than the sound of drums.

People gasped for breath in their mouths, sweated in the cold air, and spat white vapor. Elite soldiers are first and foremost strong men, because it takes no physical strength to fight to the death! Wearing dozens of pounds of armor, the power of the foot bow is often a stone, and it will be powerful to pull it a few times.

When a soldier heard the shout of "ready", he drew his bow and arrows, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. At this moment, he saw an infantry brother in front of him slashing at an enemy soldier next to him, and another enemy soldier in front of him picked up his spear and rushed towards him with all his might. In an instant, the archer didn't think much about it, immediately turned his bow and arrow, and shot it close with a "snap".

The infantry of the Xu army found that an arrow was suddenly inserted in the forehead of the enemy soldier in front of him, and he was afraid for a while, and looked back, but at this time, the strings of "pop and ......" in the queue of the divine arm and hand were sounding, and a large group of people were shooting arrows.

…… The square flag of the Chinese army has the word "Xu" written on it, hunting and flying in the wind. Guo Shao and his subordinates stood motionless, watching the yellow dust and bloody rain in front of them. The soldiers stood there without going into battle, but their bodies were tense and staring.

Not far away, the drummer kicked his figure-eight feet, holding the drum tightly, looking like he was ready to kill. The shouts on the hillside resounded, creating a "buzzing ......" noise. From time to time, there was a loud shouting not far away, during which the voice of "Deling" was short and powerful, and the tension was abnormal.

At this time, one of the generals turned his head, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally did not say anything.

Guo Shao had already seen with his own eyes that the second batch of enemy infantry was moving forward in formation, and this time there were more people, maybe tens of thousands! And the fight ahead!

In this situation, the enemy soldiers will put in new forces and replace the first batch of men!

Wheel tactics.

The enemy troops on the battlefield with messy armor and weapons are like savages, but they are obviously not real primitives, and their tactics cannot be underestimated. The northwest side has been fighting for thousands of years, and there are "military advisers" in the coalition army, none of whom are good at stubble, and Liao is a real power, once more influential than the Central Plains, and many distant countries in the north regard Da Liao as "China".

Guo Shao looked at the signs of order in the chaos on the battle array, and finally spoke: "Order, use siege iron artillery to assist the front-line infantry army!" ”

"Order!"

After a while, Wang Pu picked up the seal, covered it on a piece of paper, and handed it to a scribe. Soon the scribe hurried out with two heralds with yellow pennants on their backs.

The siege mortar with a huge muzzle and a thick and short barrel on the gun carriage was half buried in the earth. A military general took the military order and looked at it, handed it to the military staff on the side, immediately drew his sword, and shouted: "Your Majesty's holy decree, the iron artillery battalion fights!" Order the iron artillery teams to prepare to fire! ”

In the midst of the shouting, the troops simply tore out the straw paper blocked in the muzzle of the cannon, which had already been loaded with ** and stone bullets.

The muzzles of the two dozen black holes were pointed diagonally towards the sky. A gong was heard on the ground, and a shout came: "Release!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" thunderous rumors sounded one after another, and the earth trembled.

On the gentle slope, I saw white smoke rising in rows, and the flames in the smoke were brilliant. The momentum was huge, but the stone projectile did not fly fast, and it was huge, and it flew into the air with a visible appearance, and fell into the crowd of coalition forces with its weight.

Nearly 100 catties of stones fell from mid-air, and below was a densely formed coalition infantry battalion, spread all over the place. The stone cannons could hit anyone at will, and only a few smashed into the open space between the phalanxes.

The entire battalion of iron artillery fired a volley into the dense crowd of enemy soldiers, and the enemy soldiers were killed and wounded dozens of people at once!

The stone bullets fell between the dry and hard loess sand and stones, and smashed the loess dust and splashed like the smoke of an explosion! Some hit people straight away, some cracked, and stones flew up, and one or two people who were unlucky around were injured.

However, the shelling really made the party soldiers panic and shocked, and they were hit hundreds of feet away, which the ordinary soldiers did not expect.

The scene was very terrifying, on the loess, a soldier was lying there on all fours, his head shattered, and his flesh and blood were splashed on the ground. In another place, the bloody liver and intestines are in a pool of blood. Some soldiers were screaming as they clutched their cheeks when they were hit by stones.

In the large phalanx where the party had just stepped forward, there was some chaos and disturbance everywhere, and the speed of progress was slow. People look up at the sky.

However, as soon as the artillery fire of the Xu army rang out, it fell silent, and the iron cannon only carried a battalion of 500 people, and it was also troublesome to clean the gun chamber and reload it in one round.

This also worked, and the second group of enemy soldiers was stunned by the artillery fire for a while, disrupting the rhythm of the rotational attack. The front line of the Xu army repelled the enemy soldiers in front of them and won a chance to breathe, and the heads and ten generals hurriedly commanded their men and horses to retreat in columns. The commanders of the second echelon on the upper side advanced in horizontal formations, with gaps between commands, allowing the columns in front to retreat.

Guo Shao still looked at the hill above the large cavalry opposite, where people were standing. The two sides are far apart, but from a wide valley, which seems to be facing each other.
