Chapter 960: Niu Jinda's Seasoning
At about 150 paces, the commander of the former army of the Tang Army saw the black and oppressive Japanese slaves with the help of the fire on the ridge.
"The front team prepares, release the arrows." The commander shouted.
"Jump." With the sound of the bowstring, thousands of crossbow arrows flew out with a whizz.
"Squadron ready, release the arrows."
"Prepare the rear team, release the arrows."
The commander of the Don Army gave orders in succession.
The soldiers of the Japanese slave kingdom were densely formed, unable to move in the paddy fields, and there was nowhere to hide from the overwhelming rain of arrows, and sharp three-edged armor-piercing arrows pierced their armor and pierced into their bodies.
There was screaming in the field.
The soldiers of the Japanese slave kingdom were extremely brave, and did not receive the order to retreat, and they continued to charge forward despite the deaths and wounds of their comrades.
"Woooooooooooooo The rain of arrows of the Tang army flew in bursts, continuously, and the soldiers of the Japanese slave country fell in pieces.
"Your Excellency, General, give the order to retreat. It can't go on like this! Shogun Kazabe was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he said anxiously with his hand over the wound.
Jushi Dedo couldn't imagine that there were so many archers of the enemy army, and the arrows were not so sharp, and the casualties of the Japanese slaves were too great.
"Retreat." He reluctantly gave the order to withdraw his troops.
The Japanese retreated beyond the range of the Tang army's bows and crossbows, counted the number of casualties, and it reached more than 1,500.
Seeing that the east was slightly white, it was even more difficult to do when the day dawned. Jushi Dedo knew that he could not delay, and that he had to reorganize the attack immediately.
He commanded: "Send a small force of men and horses to extinguish the fire on the ridge of the field, and go to the city and fetch the door panel for a shield." ”
"Yes." The officers and soldiers of the Japanese slave kingdom ran forward to carry out the general's order.
In the paddy fields, the soldiers of the Japanese slave country rushed to the fire on the ridge in groups of three or five, and they braved the rain of arrows of the Tang Dynasty and paid the price of hundreds of people, and finally extinguished most of the fire.
It was dark in the fields.
At this time, the soldiers of the Japanese slave country brought a large number of door panels, and then they pounced on the Tang army again.
By the remnants of the fire, the commander of the Tang army saw the Japanese people rushing forward with the door panels, and he naturally had a way to deal with this situation, and he ordered: "The archers set up their backs and release their arrows." ”
The rain of arrows fell from the sky along the parabola, and the soldiers of the Japanese slave country who were hiding behind the door panel still had nowhere to hide, and they fell in pieces screaming, suffering heavy casualties.
Knowing that their only hope was to rush over and kill the enemy, and then break through the siege, the Uzunu soldiers charged forward desperately, regardless of casualties.
With the commander's command, the archers of the Tang army changed their formation, and in the gap they dodged, huge bed crossbows were exposed, and crossbow arrows like spears were shot at the Japanese slaves, and the crossbow arrows were set on the door panel, and the door panel was knocked away with the soldiers behind them, and they were set up in the crowd, stringing them together like sugar gourds. At this time, the Tang army's stone thrower also began to fire, and dozens of pounds of stone bullets fell in the middle of the soldiers of the Japanese slave country, smashing them to the bones, and at the same time, the archers of the Tang army still kept firing arrows.
The soldiers of the Japanese slave country continued to fall, and in the face of such huge casualties, the ordinary army would have collapsed long ago. The soldiers of the Japanese slave kingdom are extremely brave, and they are now in a state of complete madness, charging forward desperately as long as they have not fallen.
Finally, the soldiers of the Japanese slave country rushed to the front of the Tang army.
At this time, the Tang army had changed its formation, and at the front was a row of pikemen, and the soldiers of the Japanese slave country didn't care so much, they pounced directly, and when they came to the front of the Tang army's pikemen, they were instantly dumbfounded, and in front of them was a ditch more than two meters wide, which was already full of water, and they didn't know how deep it was?
When the soldiers of the Japanese slave country in front were hesitating, the soldiers of the Tang army stabbed the spears two zhang long, and the soldiers of the Japanese slave country fell down one by one wailing, and the living soldiers had nowhere to retreat even if they wanted to, and a large number of Japanese soldiers in the back could not see the situation in front clearly, and they had rushed forward and pushed the people in front of them into the ditch.
The weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Japanese slave country were too short to reach the Tang people, but the pikemen of the Tang Dynasty skillfully used the spears in their hands to continuously assassinate the Japanese people. The soldiers of the Japanese slave country were furious, but they were helpless.
Fortunately, because of the short time, the Tang Dynasty people did not have time to dig deeper, and this ditch was only less than a meter deep, and it was not long before it was filled with the corpses of the soldiers of the Japanese slave country, and they stepped on the corpses of their compatriots, and finally, rushed through the ditch.
At this time, the Tang army had already changed its formation, and the pikemen retreated, and what was lined up in front of the Japanese slaves was the Mo sword formation of the Tang army.
With the sound of the commander's command, the heavy and sharp Mo knife was pressed down like a mountain of knives under the wielding of the soldiers of the Tang Army with big shoulders and round waists, and the soldiers of the Japanese slave country were split in half one by one, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The Tang Army's Mo Dao Array was launched rhythmically, rows of Mo Dao rolled forward like a forest, and the soldiers of the Wano State, in front of this powerful Mo Dao Array, had no power to fight back, and fell down in pieces, the huge casualties made the soldiers of the Wano State timid, many people began to retreat, the panic of the few caused the panic of the majority, and the Wano people finally collapsed, and they retreated like a tide.
As the Unon retreated, the Tang army changed formation again, and archers, bed crossbows, and stone throwers continued to pursue and kill the Unon.
The battlefield fell silent for a while, Niu Jinda ordered to check the casualties, the Tang army relied on advanced equipment and effective tactics, this battle, only less than 300 casualties.
Niu Jinda was satisfied with this big battle, and he smiled: "Come on! Add another dish to them. ”
A Tang army general happily led 1,000 archers across the ditch and touched the Japanese slaves.
The Japanese retreated to their position before the attack, and after a short rest, Jushi Dedo ordered to check the casualties, and when the results of the inspection were reported, Jushi Dedo almost fainted, and in a big battle just now, his soldiers lost more than 5,000 people.
The archers of the Tang army marched forward about 200 paces, and vaguely saw the figure of the Japanese slaves in front of them, they stopped, fired arrows at the Japanese people, each shot three arrows, turned around and ran, to prevent the Japanese people from coming back to retaliate.
Jushi Dedo was depressed, and suddenly, there was a whistling sound in the sky, followed by the screams of the soldiers of the Japanese slave country.
"Enemy attack."
The soldiers of the Japanese slave country were in a panic, and someone shouted: "The Tang Dynasty people have come up." ”
Jushi Deduo was also a little flustered, in the darkness he couldn't tell how many Tang troops came to sneak attack, in order to avoid greater casualties, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, all withdraw to the city." ”
