Chapter 22 The Banks of the Sand River II

The Chinese drum has always been associated with war.

Before military music was replaced by Western musical instruments, it was an indispensable protagonist on the battlefield, and there was no exception from ancient times to the present.

Just when the two sides were three miles apart, Zhang Xuan ordered the drumming to be beaten. Liu Hongqi also responded without hesitation.

The rolling drums were like the roars of two giant beasts, and in the midst of this roar, they slowly approached each other.

In the midst of the drums, Runing's saber and shield hand were in front, and the pikemen were behind, each foot was on top of the drum, and the footsteps and the drum were stacked heavily.

It also shows the power of shock.

It was as if a drum was struck, and the whole world was shaken.

For a while, even the sound of drums was suppressed, and there was only one sound in the world, and that was the sound of footsteps.

There may be some wrong feet, but under Zhang Xuan's high-intensity training, everyone's footsteps are on the drumbeat.

The more you go, the more confident you become, the left and right are the brothers on the training ground, crawling and fighting together, behind is General Zhang's banner, and in front are just some submissive enemy troops.

At the same pace, they feel like three thousand people are one. It's a powerful feeling.

But Liu Hongqi became more and more uneasy.

Although it was simple to move in unison, it was not something that his soldiers, who had been drawn from all over the place, could do it. And Zhang Xuan's department has fought, Zuo Liangyu's department has fought, and the Qin army has fought against each other, although the history is not long, but it has gone through a lot of dangerous battles.

And Liu Hongqi's department participated in the biggest battle, which was to follow Liu Hongqi and thousands of soldiers to follow Ding Qirui to participate in the Battle of Zhuxian Town.

But he didn't learn much experience from the battle formation, because Zhu Xianzhen's first battle was a great escape to Liu Hongqi. Before he knew what was going on, the whole army collapsed, and he ran desperately with his headquarters, although he escaped, but he also suffered more than half of the casualties.

At this moment, Liu Hongqi could still keep his composure, but the soldiers under his command were a little frightened and confused.

"Attack." Liu Hongqi gave an order, and the rhythm of the drum suddenly changed, from a marching drum with a gentle rhythm to a war drum with a hammer heavier than a hammer.

Under the urging of countless officers.

Liu Hongqi's soldiers didn't say anything else. Immediately shouted and rushed to kill, one by one shortness of breath, shouting to kill, in his eyes, there was only the reward of ten taels of silver for each person, and there was nothing else.

Seeing Liu Hongqi's subordinates rushing over like a tide, Zhang Xuan was not moved at all, and Zhang Xuan did not need to command such a scene at all.

"Ready." Deng He yelled.

Zhang Xuan stretched his troops as far as possible across the plane, and the front, rear, left, and right sentry soldiers of the Linying camp lined up to form the first formation, and then Zhang Xuan's own center

The army, with the baggage sentry, and Shen Wandeng's hundreds of people were in the rear.

Although Zhang Xuan led the Linying Camp himself, he knew very well that he could not spend too much energy on the Linying Camp, so Zhang Xuan needed a deputy who could share many of his tasks, or someone who would replace him as the Linying Camp Officer in the future.

This person is Deng He.

Although Deng He is still a little young, he has rich experience in battle formations, and he is also pulled out of the ranks by Zhang Xuan, and he can be regarded as the descendant of the lineage. Regardless of ability, qualifications, and trust, Deng He is the best choice, but Zhang Xuan also feels that Deng He is a little impulsive, and he is afraid that he will go crazy if he fights. Shirtless.

Most of the generals who came from the army have such a problem. Therefore, Zhang Xuan wanted to temper Deng He more. But in today's battle, in Zhang Xuan's opinion, the victory or defeat had already been decided before the battle, so Zhang Xuan only held the last reserve, and the rest was left to Deng He to play freely.

Just as Deng He gave an order, the sword and shield hand in front of him was short, and countless throwing spears flew out from behind.

Although Zhang Xuan was reluctant to play such a simple thing, he had to admit that he could now provide the army with sword and shield equipment, and this was the only thing left. And this thrower doesn't have a head, it's just a sharpened tip.

There is no way, there is not enough iron.

However, Zhang Xuan has no way to simplify because of ugliness. And Liu Hongqi didn't mean to die at all, in Zhang Xuan's eyes, even if he broke into the camp, the elite equipment of the Cao camp was not a scumbag, and the cavalry needed at least three horses, a light Kai, a spear, a saber, a longbow, a crossbow and arrows, or some throwing weapons, iron hammers, meteor hammers, and it was best to add one or two six-wheels.

But in Zhang Xuan's impression, whether it is the official army or the righteous army, few of them are equipped like this. Even if it doesn't include six rounds.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan looked at his army equipment, no matter how he looked at it, it was not enough.

But Liu Hongqi felt that his 20,000 little brother was invincible all over Runing, and he never felt that the equipment was not enough, and it was good to have a knife to eat. The two sides' different ideas for army building were particularly exposed when they collided.

Suddenly, within a distance of dozens of steps, countless spears fell like rain. Liu Hongqi's subordinates rushed to the front of the soldiers, and they shook suddenly, and they followed one after another to the end. The back didn't know what was going on in front of them, and they pushed and shoved until they stepped on the corpse under their feet and didn't know what was going on.

Immediately panicked.

In fact, the throwing gun has a short range, and there is no gun head, and the lethality is not so strong, as long as they grit their teeth and rush up, they will definitely be able to fight hand-to-hand with the Runing army.

However, as soon as they panicked, they didn't know what to do.

These taxis

Many of the pawns are from salt sellers, and they also have a bit of a fierce temperament. But panic is contagious.

The panic was quickly contagious, and suddenly everyone was out of place, and the already untidy formation was even more chaotic.

Zhang Xuan looked at the situation on the battlefield, and said secretly in his heart: "In order to be light, all the artillery was not brought out, otherwise dozens of artillery pieces would be bombarded, and Luo Dai would rush, and there would be nothing else at all." And there are enough muskets, so you don't have to bother so much. ”

After getting the news from Runing, he ran to the south of the Shahe River in one go, blocking Liu Hongqi solidly, and the physical exertion of Runing's army was also very serious. Therefore, Zhang Xuan was relieved overnight yesterday.

It is impossible to keep the strings tight in a war, and it is very necessary to relax in moderation. Today's Zhang Xuan can be regarded as experienced, although he cannot be said to be a famous general in the world, but he can be regarded as a qualified general.

"It's time for the rest to fight." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

Although Zhang Xuan had absolute confidence in his subordinates, after all, it was 20,000 against 4,000 people, and the horse team still had the strength to pursue. How about this battle, Zhang Xuan's heart is inevitably a little apprehensive.

Football is still round, and the battlefield can happen even more unimaginable things.

"Kill." More than a thousand sword and shield hands lined up in a row and immediately rushed out.

When he rushed, he held the shield in his left hand high in front of him, and the first person with the shield collided with the whole thing. As soon as he felt that he had collided with someone, the shield was lifted, and the long knife slashed out, and blood burst out. The sword and shield man didn't look at it at all.

Another sword and shield hand had already slammed into his side as he had just done. The same action, in groups of three, like delicate gears, hacked enemies to the ground one by one.

Like a poisonous snake spitting letters, spears stabbed out of the gaps left by the sword and shield hands, one stabbing at the other, and immediately another pikeman took over. The four outposts of the Linying Battalion of the Runing Army and the two thousand soldiers are like a precision harvester.

Everywhere they passed, there were corpses all over the field.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "The overall situation is decided." It's worth my hard work during this period of time. ”

During this period of time, Zhang Xuan not only unified and regularized equipment, but also unified and normalized tactical movements. Zhang Xuan also asked many battlefield veterans, and summarized the training of sword and shield men as this rush, splitting one by one, and the training of pikemen as one stab.

And this kind of battlefield cooperation is one of the array battlefield cooperation summarized by Zhang Xuan, and I don't know how many times I have to practice it every day. The soldiers of the Runing Army could dream of such a cooperation. Even today's battle formation is far worse than on the training ground.
