Chapter 523: The Battle of Wuzhangyuan (1)

The horns and drums of the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and by now, the trumpeters and drummers on both sides were no longer fighting with their strength, but with a breath in their hearts, they kept telling themselves in their hearts that they must not stop and must persevere.

Although there was no actual victory or defeat, everyone present noticed that the fierce beast in the air of the Feng family army seemed to be struggling to move forward desperately, although the speed was extremely low under the efforts of the pseudo-Qi rebels, but it was still slowly encroaching on every inch of territory in the air.

Seeing that his side was gradually showing its inferiority, Shang Rang naturally would not let this invisible battle affect the morale of the whole army, but Shang Rang did not immediately order an attack, but slowly turned around, looked into the distance, and looked in the direction of Chen Cang.

A thick smoke and dust slowly appeared behind the pseudo-Qi army, the dim smoke and dust rolled and moved, the overall speed was not slow, but the thick smoke and dust completely covered the true appearance of it, and only a little reflected light could be faintly seen, but it was almost invisible.

Feng Jiajun, Lin Feng, who was at the top of the car building, naturally also noticed the situation behind the puppet Qi rebels, but after all, the distance was too far, and what caught his eye was just a small ball of dust, and as for its true appearance, it was completely unknown. But the sudden change that appeared at the rear of the battlefield lifted Lin Feng's heart violently, hanging in his heart, and the uneasiness in his heart also increased suddenly, and a pair of thick eyebrows were also screwed together.

Shang Rang's reaction was the opposite, with a strange expression on his face, but judging from the slight curvature at the corner of his mouth, he was still satisfied with the situation in front of him. Immediately, Shang Rang turned around, lowered his head and pondered in his heart for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the generals who were waiting on the car building, especially when he swept Yang Neng, a trace of chill crossed his eyes, but it was fleeting, and then he shouted at the guards who gave the order: "The front army of the herald, the phalanx of pikemen, attack!" ”

"Order!" After hearing this, the herald who was sweating profusely and twisted his heart together, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about losing a battle before the battle, holding the order flag upside down with both hands, and holding his fist at Shang Rang to receive the order in a deep voice, and then quickly turned around and waved the order flag in his hand at the pikeman phalanx in front of him.

At the same time, the drummers and trumpeters who had received the new orders, as if they had returned to the light, suddenly did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly launched a counterattack, as if they wanted to vent all the strength in their bodies, and the overall sound of horns and war drums suddenly became extremely fierce and high-pitched.

"Woo woo. Woo woo ”

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock! ”

The order to attack was all wrapped in the earth-shattering sound of trumpets and drums, which seemed to contain infinite power, and with the flow of air, it quickly reached the phalanx of pikemen, slowly pushing the entire formation forward.

As for how to deal with the Mo Dao Army, Shang Rang and all the generals agreed that the first choice was heavy equipment such as bed crossbows, and at the moment, the number of bed crossbows of the pseudo-Qi was not much, and it was not enough to cause effective damage to the Mo Dao Army, which had now expanded by three times.

Even if it is a well-equipped bow and crossbow in the army, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the Mo Dao soldiers wearing Mingguang heavy armor at a distance of fifty meters, and although the bed crossbow can cause actual damage to the Mo Dao soldiers at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, it will not shoot several people one after another as usual, after all, that set of expensive fine armor that costs up to dozens of catties is not an antique ornament.

But even if the bed crossbow can, it will be completely limited by its own cumbersome operation, a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, even if the speed of the Mo Dao soldier is slow, it will definitely not exceed three minutes, even if the bed crossbow is prepared in advance, in this short period of time, the front and rear can only fire up to seven rounds of crossbow arrows, and this also requires a large number of professionals who are extremely skilled in operation and well-made bed crossbows, otherwise, at most, five rounds will face the end of completely bidding farewell to the battlefield.

Then, although the formation of the Modao Army was generally dense, the formation of the bed crossbow was relatively about to be evacuated, even if there were enough bed crossbows, it would not be able to cause actual killing, or even suppression, and annihilation. And as soon as the time of three minutes passed, in the face of the attack of the Mo Dao Army, the bed crossbow would be reduced to a pile of wood residue almost instantly.

Of course, this situation is only theoretical, on the battlefield, no one will let the enemy's bed crossbow aim at their own troops as a live target to shoot, not to mention that it is still a bed crossbow array, and it will naturally try to change the type of troops or change the formation to deal with, or even destroy.

After the theoretical bed crossbow method did not work, Shang Rang made the current decision, using the dispersion of the pikemen's formation, as well as the advantages of the long weapons and the flexible reaction of the infantry, to try his best to deal with the Mo Dao Army, even if he could not resist the edge of the Mo Dao Army, it would not be like last time, let the Mo Dao Army fight a bloody way in the tens of thousands of charging cavalry arrays, with countless casualties.

After all, if you can't beat it, you can still dodge, unlike the cavalry, which crashes head-on. Moreover, the people and horses who died under the Mo knife were too bloody, if they were ordinary people, or not strictly trained war horses, the fear of fighting would inevitably be able to tear apart the fragile heart, and they would be scared half to death without the help of the Mo knife soldiers, and finally die tragically in the melee.

However, even if it is a pikeman, he has no advantage over the Mo Dao Army, only the advantage of the length of the weapon, and it is also a little deficient in front of the long Mo Dao, not to mention that the short spear head is compared with the wide and thick Mo Dao blade.

In fact, Lin Feng had already noticed Shang Rang's formation, the three phalanxes in the front row, except for the 10,000 pikemen who had already come out at this time, the front rows of the other two phalanxes were also cold and shining silver spears, although there were other troops in the back, but overall, the number of pikemen had far exceeded half.

In any case, the task of the Mo Dao Army as the vanguard has been set, after all, in the entire Feng Family Army, there is no legion more suitable for this task than the Mo Dao Army.

After the phalanx of pikemen of the pseudo-Qi slowly moved out of the camp, Lin Feng, who was squinting, also slowly raised his arm, waved his hand lightly at the guards beside him, and commanded in a deep voice: "The Mo Sword Army is facing the battle!" The rest of the armies are standing still! ”

"Order!" The guards responded happily, holding their heads high with pride, looking ahead confidently, slowly raising their arms, and waving the flag with both hands to convey orders.

Immediately, the generals who stayed on the car building with Lin Feng for the time being crowded to the front, their eyes widened, and they held back their strength one by one, as if they wanted to concentrate the strength of their whole bodies on a pair of eyes, lest they would not see any changes in front of them and miss a wonderful battle.
