Chapter 442: Head to head
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Under the command of Liu Xiu, the Han army set up a sharp arrow formation on this side. As the name suggests, the front arrow formation is in the shape of an arrow, with the middle protruding forward and the two wings back.
As the drums of the two camps sounded, the formations of the two sides began to advance in reverse.
Boom, boom, boom! Uniform footsteps sounded on the battlefield, and the distance between the two camps became shorter and shorter.
When the two sides were less than 100 paces away, the archers in the battle formation were the first to attack.
The two sides fired arrows almost at the same time, and with two muffled buzzing sounds, I saw two long black curtains rise from the heads of the two camps, draw a long arc in the air, staggered past, and then, roared into the other camp.
A series of clanging crunches followed. Arrows either hit the shield, or pierced through the leather armor, crackling, and the soldiers on both sides who advanced forward, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.
The distance between the two sides was closer, and the soldiers in the front row could even hear the wheezing of the person opposite.
"Kill—" The soldiers in the front rows of both sides shouted in unison, and then rushed forward together.
Knock, knock, knock –
When people came into contact, the sound of shields clashing with shields was continuous, and at the same time, the sound of spears piercing the human body was also one after another. Dozens or hundreds of soldiers screamed and wailed in an instant, and fell to the ground.
The soldiers were armed with weapons and stabbed at the opposing enemy with all their might, either to assassinate the enemy or to be assassinated by the enemy himself. The battle between the two sides turned out to be unusually bloody from the start.
The two armies faced each other head-to-head, without any opportunistic shortcuts, just a simple battle of combat power.
Because the Han army set up a sharp arrow formation on this side, the center broke forward, and the two sides dragged behind, so that the formation of the two sides was only the central part of the battle, and both sides failed to fight.
The main thing is that the Fifth School Army, which is located on both flanks of the rectangular formation, cannot find its own enemy at all.
Chen Yi, who was sitting in the Chinese army, moved in his heart, Liu Xiu's troops were small, and it was a normal choice to put out a sharp arrow formation to deal with his own rectangular formation, but in this way, it gave his own side a chance.
Thinking of this, he shouted to the heralds on the left and right: "Order the two flanks of our army, move forward, and encircle the enemy!" ”
"Whoa!" The two heralds agreed one after another, turned their horses' heads, and ran straight to the camp of the five schools on both flanks of Wang Lang's army to convey Chen Yi's order.
During the battle, Wang Lang's army formation was the first to change.
The formation changed from the original rectangle to a concave shape. The Chinese army, composed of county soldiers, resisted the advance of the Han army, and at the same time, the five school armies on both flanks advanced forward, gradually forming a three-sided attack on the Han army.
Just when the five school armies on both flanks continued to outflank the Han army, suddenly, one cavalry was killed on each wing of the Han army, and these two cavalry were the three thousand Youzhou cavalry commanded by Wu Han and Geng Yi.
The Fifth Colonel was defenseless against the sudden arrival of the cavalry, and the distance between the two sides was too close, and the speed of the cavalry charge was too fast, and when the Fifth Cadet Army reacted, the cavalry had already charged to their own front.
Let's say that the Yuyang cavalry led by Wu Han, Wu Han rushed to the front first, and when he arrived at the front of the camp of the Fifth School Army, there was a long shield array in front of him. Wu Han held the Tiger Mighty Silver Halberd in both hands and stabbed forward with all his might.
Boom! With a loud bang, the edge of the halberd was piercing the center of a shield. The soldier standing behind his shield felt less like a weapon than a rampaging rhinoceros.
The force of the impact caused him to fall on his back.
Before he could get up from the ground, Wu Han's war horse had already trampled past him. Wu Han was on the horse, condescending, the halberd slashed left and right, and the shield soldiers on both sides were all with broken heads and different heads.
Taking advantage of this gap opened by Wu Han, the cavalry behind took advantage of the situation to kill into the crowd of the five school troops.
The Fifth School Army was an insurrectionary army, not a regular army, and its combat effectiveness was even inferior to that of the local county soldiers. To put it bluntly, the Fifth School Army is an armed force composed of peasants, homeless people, bandits, and criminals.
Now they are facing the Youzhou Turquoise cavalry, which is brave and good at fighting, has rich experience, and has been fighting with the Huns for many years, and the combat power of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
The Youzhou Turquoise rider with an iron hammer in his hand, only walked and passed, and the corpses that fell to the ground and were trampled by the war horses were already stacked with Luoluo.
Wu Han was even more like a killing god possessed, one person and one horse, and entered the center of the camp of the five school army. As he kept rushing forward, he shouted, "Kill all the enemy troops!" Not a single one to stay! ”
The general who commanded the army of the five schools rushed up from the middle and rear sections of the camp, and he didn't see any other enemies, the first thing he saw was Wu Han.
I saw Wu Han in the crowd of his own, wielding a halberd and slashing his own soldiers, just like cutting vegetables.
The generals of the Fifth School Army gritted their teeth, roared angrily, and urged their horses to rush towards Wu Han.
As soon as the two sides met each other, the generals of the Fifth Academy Army slashed at the top of Wu Han's head. The latter laughed and lifted the halberd in his hand outward, and when it was long, the big knife that fell was bounced up more than three feet high.
The general of the Fifth School Army felt that his arms were numb, and the knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand. Why does this person have so much strength? He was horrified. Wu Han's strength is on par with Jia Fu, can it be small?
"You take me too!" As he spoke, Wu Han swept his halberd towards the other party's waist.
The generals of the five schools hurriedly put away their knives, erected their knife shafts, and parried the halberds swept by Wu Han. When! At this moment, the general of the Fifth Colonel Army flew sideways from his war horse.
Poof! He fell sideways two meters away before falling heavily to the ground, and then rolled over for a long distance before stopping.
Wu Han turned the horse's head and chased after the other party. There were dozens of soldiers around to besiege and step forward, wanting to stop Wu Han and save their own generals.
But in front of Wu Han, they were no different from Cao Ke, who picked up the tiger and the silver halberd, like chopping melons and vegetables, killed most of the dozens of soldiers, and then rushed out of the crowd.
At this time, the dizzy general of the Fifth School Army had just stood up from the ground, and was seeing Wu Han riding his horse, and the halberd drew a flash of lightning in the air, flashing towards his neck.
He broke out in a cold sweat, rolled on the ground, and went out sideways.
Narrowly dodging Wu Han's halberd, he pulled out the saber under his rib with his hand, aimed at the back of Wu Han's heart, flung his arm outward, and the saber flew out, swirling in the air, stabbing Wu Han's back.
But Wu Han's back was as if he had eyes, and he didn't even look back, and swept the Huwei Liang Silver Halberd behind him, and when he was stunned, the sword that flew in front of him was bounced into the crowd on the side.
A soldier didn't even see what was going on, he was stabbed in the chest, and he was dazed.
Wu Hanle stopped the horse, turned the horse's head, looked at the general of the Fifth School Army whose face had changed greatly, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said with a cruel smile: "Today, I will take your dog's head!" As he spoke, he urged his horse again to rush towards the other party.
Can't beat it! The generals of the five schools were so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits were about to fly out of the body, and when Wu Han saw that he was about to approach, his arm suddenly raised outward, and a cloud of white smoke rushed towards Wu Han's face.
This is the difference between the Fifth Colonel Army and the regular army.
The generals of the five school armies are basically people in the rivers and lakes, and their ability to command the troops may not be strong, and their ability to fight may not be very powerful, but they all have fragments, all of which are common small means in the rivers and lakes.
At this time, the white mist raised by the generals of the five schools was the smoke mixed with sweat medicine. Sprinkled this smoke, he didn't care whether he fascinated Wu Han or not, turned around and went into the crowd of the five school army.
If he can charm the other party, it is naturally the best, if he fails to charm the other party, he can also use his own crowd as a cover to escape.
But he underestimated Wu Han too much, the latter saw the white smoke rushing towards him, and immediately raised his palm to block his eyes, and at the same time, he also held his breath.
When the white mist cleared, Wu Han put down his palm, looked at it, and saw the general of the Fifth School Army drilling through the crowd. He sneered: "Rats, leave!" As he spoke, he picked up his horse and chased after him.
A halberd pierced through the chest of a soldier, and the halberd was castrated, and then stabbed into the body of the second soldier. There were two people hanging on the halberd, Wu Han took the halberd, picked it out, and the two corpses flew together towards the generals of the five schools in the crowd.
The latter was defenseless and was smashed by the two corpses that fell from it.
He screamed and fell to the ground, rolling with the two corpses. He finally pushed away the corpse that was pressing on his body, and Wu Hanye had already approached him, and the halberd stabbed him, hitting him in the lower abdomen.
Wu Han used his arms to lift the generals of the Fifth School Army from the ground into the air. He held the halberd in one hand, and on the head of the halberd was the general of the Fifth Colonel, who was obviously not breathing, and his limbs were still struggling and dancing in the air.
"Wait for the rats! Who else will come back to die? While speaking, Wu Han shook the silver halberd of the tiger and threw the body of the general of the Fifth School Army into the crowd of the Fifth School Army.
No one dared to approach Wu Han any further, and the soldiers of the Fifth School Army turned pale with fright, their eyes were round with horror, and they held the weapons in their hands and involuntarily retreated again and again.
People's attention was still on Wu Han's body, and the Yuyang cavalry had already slammed into the crowd, screaming everywhere.
Wu Han's side defeated the five school army on the opposite side, and Geng Yi's side also defeated the five school army on the opposite side.
However, the task of Wu Han and Geng Yi was not to defeat the outflanked Fifth School Army and finish it, and then, the cavalry led by the two of them pursued while they were victorious, like two sharp blades, which were deeply inserted into the two ribs of Wang Lang's army's camp.
The two ribs were fiercely attacked by the enemy's cavalry, and the combined effect was that the central formation of Wang Lang's army was in chaos.
The county soldiers who were resisting the Han army in the front were fighting fiercely with the Han army, but suddenly, when they heard that the two wings behind their side were in chaos, they didn't know what happened behind them, and people could no longer concentrate on fighting with the Han army.
The two armies were fighting, and the most fearful thing was that they had distractions, and the county soldiers were inferior to the Han army on the opposite side in terms of combat effectiveness, and now they couldn't concentrate, and the scene soon fell into passivity.
At this moment, the 500 rushing army led by Jia Fu suddenly came out of the Han army camp and directly inserted it into the opposite county soldier camp.
Jia Fu did not ride a horse, and fought under the foot like five hundred runners.
The battle between the two sides, with the five hundred rushing into battle, the balance immediately tilted. At this time, the value of the Running Army is reflected, and it makes sense that they can enjoy privileges in the army and get much more military pay than ordinary soldiers.
