Chapter 504: The Great Battle of the Bronze Horse

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

"Yes! General! The generals of the Bronze Horse Army should be in unison. Dongshan Barren raised his eyes to look at the Han army opposite, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said in a loud voice: "Pass my general order, order: Fenwei battalion, Fenwu battalion, Fenyong battalion, and Fen Battalion, and work together to attack the enemy's front army; Order: Guard Battalion, Guard Battalion, attack the enemy's left flank; life

: Jianwei Battalion, Jianwu Battalion, attack the enemy's right flank. The rest of the battalions are on standby in the rear! ”

The establishment of the Bronze Horse Army is not the same as that of the regular army. The regular army is composed of corps, teams, tuns, qu, divisions, and armies. The establishment of the Bronze Horse Army is Shi, Team, Tun, Qu, Department, and Battalion. One battalion is 10,000 people.

Dongshan Barren sent eight battalions of Fenwei, Fenwu, Fenyong, Fighting, Guarding, Guarding, Jianwei, and Jianwu, a total of eight battalions, which was equivalent to sending 80,000 people at once to besiege the Han army.

His order was immediately conveyed by the heralds, and it didn't take long for the camp of the Bronze Horse Army to sound with a rumbling drum. With the sound of drums, the eight battalions that received the order to attack advanced in unison.

The four battalions of Fenwei, Fenwu, Fenyong, and Fighting walked in the center, the second battalion of the army and the second battalion of Hudian took the left flank, and the second battalion of Jianwei and Jianwu took the right flank.

From a distance, the Bronze Horse Army, which launched the attack, set up a pocket formation and advanced towards the Han army. There is nothing wrong with the barren command of the East Mountain. The Bronze Horse Army is to fight more and less, and the strength is several times that of the Han Army, if the whole army is sent into battle, many soldiers will not be able to hit the enemy at all, but they are just consuming physical strength in vain

Pay for one's whistle. Sending one part of the troops to fight first, leaving the other part of the troops to sweep the formation, is the most effective use of one's own soldiers.

Even if only 80,000 soldiers were the first to attack, the number of troops was far more than that of the Han army.

Seeing the advancing Bronze Horse Army and set up a pocket formation for his side, Liu Xiu did not panic and gave orders in an orderly manner.

He put the generals Wu Han and Ma Wu on the left flank, Geng Yi and Jing Dan on the right flank, and Cen Peng and Cho Qi on the front army, and used a decent rectangular formation to deal with the pocket formation of the Bronze Horse Army.

The first to approach the Han army phalanx was the four battalions of the Bronze Horse Army.

When the two armies were still some distance apart, Cen Peng took the bow and arrow from the soldiers on the side, he drew a carved arrow, put on the bowstring, aimed it at the sky, and shot an arrow.

Whoosh –

The arrow pierced the sky, drew an arc, and snapped into the ground.

This is the positioning arrow, the position of this arrow, the distance from the Han army is exactly one hundred steps, that is, when the enemy army steps over this arrow, it will officially enter the range of the Han army.

Then, Cen Peng shot four arrows in a row, all of which were positioning arrows.

The distance between the four arrows and the Han army was eighty, sixty, forty, and twenty paces respectively. Within twenty paces, there is no need to position again, and at this time, the two armies have to do hand-to-hand combat.

Cen Peng was born in the regular army, and he commanded operations with a clear eye, and he led the army to engage the enemy, and the standard was like a war strategy in a military book.

As the Bronze Horse Army continued to advance, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

Seeing the advancing Bronze Horse Army soldiers crushing the first arrow shot by Cen Peng, the archers of the Han army camp twisted their bows and arrows in unison, aiming the edge of the arrow in the air.

Without turning his head to look, just listening to the sound of arrows winding and firing bows around him, Cen Peng could tell that his own archers were ready. He mounted his warhorse, drew his sword from his side, and swung forward.

Airplanes!

A black mist flew into the sky from the Han army's camp, turning into a dark cloud in the air, and then smashing into the camp of the Bronze Horse Army with a buzzing sound.

Like the Qingcalf Army and the Youlai Army, the defense of the Bronze Horse Army is not strong, the armor on the people's bodies is incomplete, many soldiers have no shields at all, and the whole army cannot form a shield array that can effectively resist the arrow array. However, unlike the Qingli Army and the You Lai Army, the Bronze Horse Army was hit by a round of arrows and was shot down a large number of people, and instead of being timid and stopped, they howled as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and began to run forward frantically

rose up and launched a rapid charge against the Han camp.

In the face of such a dense large-scale arrow array, he can still charge forward regardless of it, and it is not one person or two people who do this, but tens of thousands of people in the whole army doing this together, such an enemy, Cen Peng has never seen before.

He narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Keep firing the arrows!" Eighty steps! ”

The Bronze Horse Army charged with tens of thousands of people, the speed was too fast, and after a round of arrows, they were close to eighty paces.

The archers of the Han army lowered the direction of the arrows one after another, and then, there was another buzz, and the second round of arrows flew out, and a large long dark cloud smashed into the camp of the Bronze Horse Army.

Cracking sound! The arrows fell into the crowd like raindrops, and some of the bronze horse soldiers were all hit by one or two arrows in their bodies, but they continued to run forward as if they didn't feel anything, until they were hit by arrows in the head and chest, and then they fell to the ground in anger.

"Sixty steps—" Cen Peng shouted.

"Forty steps—"

"Twenty steps! Archers retreat! Heavy shield soldiers, shields, shield formations! ”

Under the command of Cen Peng, the soldiers in the front row of the Han army kneeling on the ground stood up in unison, and the burly soldiers in the front row lifted the heavy shields on the ground one after another and erected them in front of them.

As far as the eye could see, in just an instant, a steel wall was erected in front of the Han army's formation, and under the sunlight, a dazzling silver light flashed.

At the same time, spears and halberds poked out from behind the shields, turning this long copper wall into an iron hedgehog.

The Bronze Horse Army is indeed not comparable to the Qingcalf Army and the Youlai Army, whether it is a general or a soldier, they are extremely brave in battle.

The soldiers who rushed in front could clearly see that in front of them were the sharp edges of spears and halberds, but when no one slowed down, people's eyes really widened and they hit the edges of spears and halberds.

Knock, knock, knock!

Poof, poof, poof!

When the two armies came into contact with each other, the bronze horse soldiers in the first row slammed into the sharp edges of the spears and halberds, and although their bodies were pierced, the impact force caused by the inertia of the charge still knocked the shield array of the Han army to the ground.

The shieldmen fell to the ground on their backs, and before they could get up, the bronze horse soldiers had already stepped on their shields and stabbed their weapons on their heads.

For the Bronze Horse Army, which was desperate and fierce in battle, the officers and soldiers of the Han Army were not very adaptable, and the front row formation was also torn apart by the Bronze Horse Army.

Cen Peng frowned, glanced at Choshi and the others beside him, and then, he took off his three-pointed two-edged knife from the victory hook of the war horse, and without saying a word, urged the horse to rush forward.

"General Cen -" Everyone around was startled and called out one after another, and then, each holding a weapon, followed Cen Peng and urged the horse forward. At this time, there was already a battle in front, and it was useless to shout and shout in the back to let the soldiers stabilize. If you want to stabilize the morale of the army, the fastest, most direct and most effective way is to go into battle directly, so that the soldiers can see their own commander-in-chief

If you go into battle, you will definitely be able to boost morale. Cen Peng is worthy of a generation of famous generals and an excellent commander. He rushed out of his own formation, came to the front of the two armies, brandished a three-pointed two-edged knife, and stabbed and slashed, killing and wounding more than a dozen bronze horse soldiers in one go. Seeing Cen Peng go out to battle and slash the Bronze Horse Army

Cutting vegetables, the soldiers of the Han army, the morale was greatly boosted, people roared, and struggled to kill the constantly impacting copper horse army, and then, picked up the shield that fell to the ground, reformed a shield array, and fought with the copper horse army.

As the battle between the two sides continued, the Han army gradually adapted to the style of play of the Bronze Horse Army. In fact, the Bronze Horse Army's combat mode is very simple, it is just one word, rush! People are on the battlefield, completely desperate to go on a rampage. After understanding the means of the Bronze Horse Army, the Han Army also made corresponding changes, one person holding a heavy shield, unable to stop the Copper Horse Army's suicide collision, then two soldiers will be arranged behind each heavy shield, and if not, three or four people will be arranged, in short

, that is, to erect the shield array so that the other party does not knock it down.

As long as the shield array in the front row does not fall, the Bronze Horse Army's suicidal charge is really committing suicide. As the Han army gradually stabilized its position, the gap between the two sides began to be revealed.

On the side of the Bronze Horse Army, there is no formation, no tactics, and even no cooperation, everyone is fighting alone, but the goal and combat method of each individual soldier are the same, that is, staring and rushing forward.

As the Han army stabilized the shield array in the front row, the bronze horse soldiers who died in front of the shield array began to surge.

One rushed up, and one was stabbed to death by the spear and halberd behind the shield array, rushed up in a row, was stabbed in a row, rushed up in a group, and was stabbed down in a group.

The formation in front was stable, and the archers in the center of the Han camp began to fire arrows at the enemy camp without distraction. At this time, the Bronze Horse Army was already showing no support.

The soldiers who fought in front couldn't tear apart the shield array of the Han army for a long time, and the soldiers in the back had to bear the arrow array of the archers of the Han army.

Now on the battlefield, not only the four battalions of Fenwei, Fenwu, Courage, and Fighting have encountered such difficulties, but also the second battalion of the Protector Army and the Second Battalion of Hudian, which attacked the left flank of the Han army, and the second battalion of Jianwei and Jianwu, which attacked the right flank of the Han army, have also encountered such difficulties.

Although the scene was the Bronze Horse Army fighting around the Han army, the casualties of the Han army were not large, but the Bronze Horse Army that was besieging had already suffered countless casualties.

In the confrontation between the two armies, the emphasis is on one blow of strength, then decline, and three exhaustions. Especially for the Bronze Horse Army, which relies on a fierce fight, this is especially true.

The combat method of the Bronze Horse Army is, if I come up, I will pick you up with a three-plate axe, and if these three-plate axes can be chopped down, I will win, and if I can't kill you, I will lack stamina.

This kind of tactics is simple and crude, and ordinary soldiers and horses encounter the bronze horse army, and they really can't carry their three-plate axe, and they are usually killed.

It is precisely by virtue of these three-plate axes that the Bronze Horse Army has crisscrossed Hebei and is invincible, from a few hundred people to hundreds of thousands.

As a result, this time, they met a nemesis.

At this time, Liu Xiu did not have many soldiers and horses under his command, but he was like a cloud. Wu Han, Geng Yi, Cen Peng, Cho Period, Ma Wu, Zhu You, Sai Zun, Jing Dan, etc., pick out one at random, all of them are famous generals in later generations. Seeing that the Bronze Horse Army attacking his own side had exhausted its strength and lacked stamina, it was still attacking its own side hard. Liu Xiu gave the order that Wu Han on the left and Geng Yi on the right led the cavalry to break the enemy, and he himself went to the front army in person and led Cen Peng and Cho Period

Generals, launch a counteroffensive against the Bronze Horse Army. The two sides have been fighting for so long, eight battalions, 80,000 people of the Bronze Horse Army, has lost nearly 30,000 people, the remaining more than 50,000 soldiers, just stubbornly holding on, the sudden counterattack of the Han army, as if to give these eight battalions of the Bronze Horse Army the last blow.
