Chapter 336: Fierce Battle on the Back Mountain (Part II)
The two armies are fighting, the bow and arrow are the first, this is the recognized truth of the soldiers since ancient times, Gu Wei as the patriarch of the Gu Wei people, naturally also knows this truth, he also heard that the bow and arrow of outsiders are better than his own side, so most of the Gu Wei army charging in front of him is holding a wooden shield to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows.
"Raise your shield!" There were people in the Gu Wei army who shouted loudly, and thousands of shields were raised, but there was some momentum, but it was a little scattered, for these Gu Wei people who had never practiced military formations, this was already the limit.
"What the shield array wants is to be neat, what's the use of being scattered like this?" Lu Junyi shook his head, and sure enough, thousands of arrow feathers fell down, although many arrow feathers were blocked by the shield, but many of them penetrated through the gap between the shields, and there was a sudden wail.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
"First Battalion! Shoot! ”
"Second battalion! Shoot! ”
"Third battalion! Shoot!! ”
The archers of the three battalions lined up in twelve rows, constantly shooting alternately, so that the rain of arrows was falling all the time, and there were casualties in the army formation of Gu Wei every moment.
"Damn, these outsiders have a much better range of bows and arrows than we do!" Gu Wei said with a frown.
The Bone Wei Army was bleeding with every step of the approach, and slowly, within thirty steps, the archers of the Bone Wei Army could finally fight back.
"Archery! Fast! Archery!! ”
There were people in the Guwei army formation constantly shouting, hoping that the arrow rain of their own army could suppress the archers on the opposite side, and the Guwei archers mixed in the military formation hurriedly began to shoot arrows, and the scattered arrow feathers flew towards the Liangshan army formation, and there were sporadic casualties in the military formation.
Lu Junyi frowned, there were too many enemy troops, and there was no temptation, he used all his strength for the first time, he put down the binoculars and said, "Order, the archers counter to suppress the enemy archers, and the front army is ready to fight!" Ready to throw guns! ”
The order flag waved, and the Gu Wei army who rushed in front found that the pressure suddenly decreased, and the arrow rain above them began to fly backwards, and some of the Gu Wei archers in the back began to call for help, they did not have any shields in their hands, they were completely exposed, and the continuous arrow rain fell on the flesh, causing patches of blood rain, which was a little fascinating.
"Ten steps! Shoot your gun! ”
Tang Bin, who was in the front army, shouted violently, and the pikemen in the last row were holding a one-meter short gun for throwing at this time, they collectively took a step back, and then threw it suddenly, and the Gu Wei army who had rushed to the front was grinning and preparing to launch a fierce attack, but found that it was a forest of steel and a short spear flying from nowhere.
"Wow!" "Poof!" "Ahh
Before he could make contact, the former army of Gu Wei fell dozens of people who were pierced by throwing spears, a Gu Wei army trembled and put down the shield in his hand, the half-finger-thick wooden shield was actually pierced hard, the sharp tip of the spear was less than half a fist away from his chest, he just wanted to breathe, he was squeezed forward by the Gu Wei army behind, and in front, it was a long spear.
"Thorn!" Tang Bin shouted loudly, and he also stabbed himself, and a shot hit the neck of a bone Wei army, the bone man was not afraid of death, and grabbed Tang Bin's spear before he died, so that Tang Bin couldn't take it back at once.
Seeing the opportunity, the Gu Weijun next to him immediately rushed up to pick up a bargain, and swung the stone axe in his hand to smash it, but a spear stabbed from the side coldly, stabbing him back with his hands and people, Tang Bin saw that he really couldn't pull it out, and he no longer forced it, shouting, "Change the gun!" Then he grabbed the spearman in the back, and the pikemen in the back immediately let go, and gave him his spear, and he went to get the spear in the back, and at the back there were several spears stuck in the ground for reserve.
The engagement of the front army began, and suddenly the battle line was at a stalemate, and Lin Mu behind looked at it and said to Gu Wei, "Patriarch, there are many of us, why do we only fight them in the front?" Why don't you draw some manpower and attack from both sides, what do you think? ”
Gu Wei patted his head and said, "Fortunately, with you, hurry, give the order, let the four thousand teams attack from both sides!" ”
Lu Junyi soon found that Gu Wei began to change formations, he nodded and said, "The art of war has clouds, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple are battled, but I didn't expect that although these savages have no military heritage, they also know this truth." ”
Duan Jing lived next to him and watched nervously, and said, "Dudu, we have few people, is this really okay?" ”
Lu Junyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although there are many enemy troops, but the armor is not repaired, the military formation is not strict, and there is no need to be afraid, you see, since the start of the war, our army has suffered less than 100 casualties, and the enemy has at least 1,000 casualties." ”
Duan Jingzhu nodded, feeling a little relieved, Lu Junyi continued to look at it for a while and said, "The enemy's cavalry hasn't moved yet, it seems that they are preparing to make the final blow.... We can't be too anxious, let the two sides resist, and the archers are divided into three sides to suppress! ”
Since Gu Ren does not lead troops, he is not righteous, this is because on the battlefield, someone must make sacrifices, some people have to gnaw bones in front, some are waiting to eat meat in the back, some have to be used as bait as abandoned sons, and some hide in the mountains to ambush, although Lu Junyi still has a lot of strength in his hands, but he does not dare to throw it out now, he must find a time to win with one blow.
"Kill!"
"Poof!"
"Bell!!"
On the battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of blades entering the flesh, the sound of blades colliding, the sound of the sound was in the ears, Lu Junyi smelled the air with the smell of blood, but his heart was extremely calm, he held a telescope to carefully observe the state of the enemy and our military formations and the expressions of the sergeants, the front represents the attack and defense, and the latter represents morale.
"The junior brother's soldiers are well trained, they have been fighting for half an hour, and the morale of the soldiers is still so high!"
In ancient times, the war was more by virtue of the courage of blood and blood, which is why the ancient soldiers emphasized morale so much, Jiang De used the methods of later generations to train the Liangshan army, although in the early days of the battle may not be as fanatical as the aliens, but full of resilience, long-term hard training has made these people extremely patient, the archers have rested for a round, and began to shoot arrows again, and the pikemen also changed a circle, but the endurance of the Guwei army began to decline, and many people showed a tired look.
"Damn, why are these outsiders so hard to fight? Haven't broken the gap yet? Gu Wei exclaimed anxiously.
"Patriarch, we have suffered at least three thousand casualties, most of them are caused by their bows and arrows, their bows and arrows shoot much farther than us, and those few high platforms, adjust their posture at any time, and if we continue to fight like this, even if we win, when spring comes, it will be difficult for us to resist the attack from the south." Lin Mu didn't expect this war to be like this at all, is it really a person on the other side? Doesn't it mean that most of the people out there are weak?
"Damn, it's impossible to take it down now, what do you say?"
"Patriarch, use cavalry, there are only hundreds of people on both sides of them, if we charge with cavalry, we will definitely be able to rush away!"
Gu Wei gritted his teeth, the cavalry is the absolute main force no matter which country it is, he rode on his war horse, picked up his mace and shouted, "Gu Wei's warriors, on the other side is our enemy, let us use their blood to worship our gods!" Kill!! ”
"Phew!"
Many people always think that there will be a lot of cavalry in ancient times, and there will even be 100,000 cavalry battles in some books, in fact, the cost of cavalry is extremely high, even if it is a nomadic people, it is extremely difficult to gather 100,000 cavalry, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has accumulated savings for two generations, and in the largest expedition against the Xiongnu, only 100,000 cavalry were dispatched.
Of course, 100,000 cavalry does not mean that there are only 100,000 war horses, for cavalry, having spare war horses is the lowest condition, most of the nomads are one person and two horses, or even one person and three horses, the Central Plains Dynasty can not do this, but there will also be half of the war horses prepared, for example, in the expedition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just mentioned, 100,000 cavalry have 140,000 war horses with the army, which is the extra war horse.
Gu Wei led the charge this time with more than 1,000 of Gu Wei's most elite soldiers, more than half of them were holding iron weapons, and the dust brought up by the galloping of more than 1,000 war horses even made Lu Junyi, who was standing on the high platform, faintly feel it.
"Wow, it's finally here!" Lu Junyi patted the railing and said with a smile, "Light up the wolf smoke, let the heavenly army dispatch, send orders to all fronts, prepare to resist the cavalry, I judge that the enemy army will be killed from my two wings, send the archers, repair and standby, send the front army, transfer the last row of pikemen to the middle line, send Dong Ping, put on standby!" ”
The order flag waved, and one order after another was passed on, only to see that the Liangshan battle formation was under the command of officers at all levels, steadily retreating, and the death squad that had been resting on the ground for a long time also stood up and moved their bodies, and now, it was time for them to play.
"The cavalry is coming, get out of the way!"
"Go away, or die in vain!"
The Guwei army, which had been attacking on the left flank for a long time, suddenly retreated to both sides, and the Liangshan army, which was under pressure, did not feel happy, they knew that this meant that a more powerful force was coming, combined with the news just now, it could only be the master of the battlefield - cavalry.
"Throw the corners of the nails!"
Everyone took out the four-corner nails from their pockets and threw them forward with all their might, no matter how they were thrown, there would always be a corner on them, which was tantamount to a natural enemy for the bone cavalry who did not even have a horseshoe.
"It's coming!"
No one can face the onslaught of cavalry without fear, and the incomparable force of the impact and the power of the earth shaking is enough to make people pee their pants.
At this time, the pikemen also rushed over, each of these pikemen carried several spears, which was to bring the reserve spears, and suddenly the infantry on the left flank changed from axemen to pikemen.
The advantages of the telescope and the high platform were reflected, and almost every moment, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan could prepare for the attack of the Guwei army in advance.
"Bow and arrow shooting!"
"Boom!" "Buzz!"
Thousands of arrow feathers flew up into the sky and rushed towards the cavalry, Gu Wei looked at the rain of arrows, raised his small shield and said, "Be careful with bows and arrows!" ”
Cavalry could not carry large shields, so they could only carry small shields, such small shields could only block the head, chest and other small places, at least horses could not be protected, sharp arrows popped into the flesh, and cavalry constantly fell to the ground.
"Rush over!!"
"Boom!"
A drum sound faintly came from a distance, Gu Wei looked up suspiciously, but saw nothing, shook his head and continued to shout.
"Ahh "Ahh To the place less than ten steps away from the Liangshan military formation, there were constantly cavalry falling to the ground, so that Gu Wei couldn't help frowning, he looked down carefully, and immediately saw the existence of the four corner nails, and couldn't help but secretly curse a despicable, probably paid the price of more than 100 horsemen, finally, the cavalry and infantry collided together, for a while, people turned on their backs, and the spear in the hands of the Liangshan sergeant standing in the first row suddenly broke a lot, and the huge force even caused many people's tiger's mouths to crack, and people also flew.
The impact of the cavalry is always one after another, and only in this way can the continuity of the impact be ensured, and the cavalry that stops is not even as good as the infantry.
"Kill!!" "Rush!!"
Lu Junyi squeezed the telescope tightly, insisted, held on for a while, he must hold on...
Dong Ping in the back began to move with the cavalry, they were all wearing armor, holding spears, waist scimitars, many people were also carrying bows and arrows, they were really fully armed, Dong Ping, the leader, was wearing heavy armor, holding Shuanglong suction guns in both hands, controlling the horse with both feet, and his eyes were cold, this was his first battle since joining Liangshan, he could only win, not lose!
The left flank was completely turned into a flesh mill, and five hundred alien death squads were also put into battle, Gu Wei held a mace in his hand to block and smash left and right, shouting again and again, he was surprised to find that there were his own people among the enemies below, including a small leader he knew, he shouted and scolded, "Luoyan, are you crazy? Actually led people against me? ”
Luoyan, who was holding an axe in his hand, gasped and looked at Gu Wei, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Patriarch, after we were captured, we were well fed and warmly clothed, which was better than living in the clan, these outsiders are letting us live a good life, you should also surrender!" ”
"You're crazy!" Gu Wei raised his stick and smashed it, Luoyan blocked it, took a step back, shook his head and said, "Patriarch, you don't know what power they have, they are not people, they are simply gods, I believe it is the same as they said, only by joining them like the Duhu tribe, our people can live the life that real people should live!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom!! ”
The louder and louder drums made Gu Wei a little annoyed, and he looked at Liangshan Junzhai and scolded, "What...."
Before he could say anything, he choked on, he looked into the distance in amazement, and on the entire battlefield, there were more and more people like him, and they all stared blankly at the sky, and they didn't even react when the arrow feathers fell on him or the axe cut off his body parts.
In the sky not far away, accompanied by bursts of drums, three huge divine beasts appeared, one with horns like a deer, a head like a cow, eyes like a shrimp, a mouth like a donkey, a belly like a snake, scales like a fish, feet like a phoenix, whiskers like a human, ears like an elephant, with five claws, wearing golden scale armor, up to dozens of zhang, but a little fat, making it not powerful enough.
A chicken head, snake neck, swallow's jaw, turtle back, fish tail, full of fire, covered with feathers, also up to dozens of zhang, and one like the previous one, but the color is more colorful, more mysterious.
Seeing three such huge beasts flying from the sky, many of the Bone Warriors were already so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed.
