Chapter Eighty-Three: Accidents

The continuous drums sounded, and the Zhou army began to move towards the Sui army, with spears like a forest, and the tiger head flag fluttering in the array. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The spear array, the tiger head flag, it turned out to be Yuwen Wen!"

"This guy is not guarding the door in Huangzhou, what are you doing here!"

The Chinese army was surprised, and the generals unanimously judged that the commander of the Zhou army on the opposite side was Yu Wenming, the governor of Xiangzhou, but Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, who had never thought of coming.

When the army went south, it was natural to have an understanding of the situation of the Zhou army in Shannan, and Yuwenwen's Hulin army was more special, and it used spears to form a formation as a combat method, which has already taught a lesson, which naturally makes people have some impressions.

Having said that, His Majesty seems to be very concerned about Yuwen Wen, and he seems to be a little emotional when he mentions this person, and he doesn't know why.

The generals first flashed this thought, and then their thoughts turned to Yu Wenwen's side, and they felt more and more incomprehensible: The Huangzhou Governance Office is nearly a thousand miles away from Jingzhou Shangwan, and if you lead the troops here, aren't you afraid that the Chen army will attack Huangzhou and rescue it?

The eldest grandson looked at Wei Wang Yang Shuang in disbelief, Yang Shuang was a little uncomfortable by the other party, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't say that Chen Guo and Zhou Guo made peace!" ”

"Could it be that there has been an abnormality on Chen Guo's side recently, so Yuwen Wen dares to send troops north?"

Eldest Sun Lan said, "No matter what, for now, let's win first." ”

Yang Shuang's mind flashed all kinds of content, Yuwenwen's Hulin army used the spear formation as a combat method, it is said that the defense is very tight, and it is extremely difficult to break the formation in close combat, five years ago in the Battle of Lianghekou, Yuwenwen led the pikemen to force the formation in the chaotic army.

In the sound of drums, the Zhou army's formation opened its formation and approached in the direction of the Sui army, and the other party took the initiative to ask for battle, so that Yang Shuang had an idea, he discussed with the eldest grandson Lan for a while, and began to order a battle.

The central army retreated to give way to the large mound, making way for the infantry that was moving back in front, especially the archers in front of the formation, all withdrew to the mound, and the cavalry on both flanks began to scatter to the left and right.

The crossbow chariots moved forward and formed a shield wall in front of the military formation, and the soldiers held weapons behind the chariots, and the sword and spearmen protected the wings, waiting for the Zhou army to collide.

The Sui army is well-trained, there is not much confusion in the enemy's change formation, when the Zhou army approached to a distance of 400 paces, the formation has been completed, the Chinese army is located behind the large array, the two wings of cavalry protrude left and right, showing a tendency to outflank, it is a variant of the crane wing array.

The cavalry of the Zhou army was nowhere to be seen, perhaps hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity to move, since they dared to advance only with infantry formations, then the Sui army was not polite, and the cavalry on both wings waited to outflank and cut off their connection with the rear formation.

Coupled with the other cavalry that the Chinese army was preparing for the war later, the Sui generals did not feel that the Zhou army had the opportunity to "ride on foot".

The horn sounded in the main formation of the Zhou army, and the spear phalanx suddenly changed direction, splitting from the middle to the two wings, so that the so-called big crossbow that followed closely behind the body - the towed three-bow bed crossbow, and the spear array divided into the left and right wings did not stop and accelerated to march forward.

The sudden change made the big crossbow on the mound behind the Sui army's formation a little overwhelmed, but it quickly aimed at the spear array according to the commander's order, and at this moment, the spear array suddenly moved.

Originally, the formation of one square was divided into columns and marched forward quickly, seemingly scattered to avoid being shot by the crossbows, but the Zhou army continued to change formations in front of the Sui army without cavalry response, ignoring the enemy cavalry on the flank, which was already revealing a huge flaw.

Yang Shuang immediately ordered the cavalry on the left and right flanks to go out and attack the crossbow position in the middle of the Zhou army, where there were crossbow men, but they could not stop the cavalry charge.

He didn't want to waste his troops to ram into the Zhou army's spear formation, but directly hit the big crossbow that was not covered by a spear or spear.

The roaring sound, the crossbows of both sides began to fire, and the arrows shot by the Sui army's crossbow did not cause too many casualties to the loose Zhou army, and the strange objects shot by the Zhou army's crossbow smashed directly into the Sui army's array, stirring up bursts of white mist.

There was a spicy feeling from the mouth and nose, and the soldiers of the Sui army, who were shrouded in white mist, felt that every breath was very uncomfortable, and even their eyes had some burning sensations, so they couldn't help rubbing them with their hands, and the more they rubbed them, the more uncomfortable they became.

"It's lime!"

Yang Shuang quickly thought of what Yang Su, the prince of Qinghe County, said, that year, in the battle at the mouth of the two rivers, Yuwenwen used this kind of thing, but in the following years, the Shannan Zhou army did not use this weapon again.

Could it be that only Yuwen Wen used such a dirty tactic? Left side door!

Lime is easy to handle, but if it is the kind of effect that Yang Su said, no one in the ordnance supervisor can get it, but Yang Shuang doesn't care, he thinks that using this kind of side-by-side thing can only prove that Yuwenwen's combat effectiveness is insufficient.

Do you have no cavalry, or do you not have enough cavalry, or do you have too much confidence to think that you can win in this way?

I have fought too much with Chen Jun, do you think that our army is also a waste?!

The cavalry of the Sui army roared and rushed towards the crossbow of the Zhou army, which was not guarded by spears and spears, and the other side was protected by crossbowmen, but this was not a problem, the biggest threat was that there was a layer of rope on the periphery, and the crossbow position was surrounded by a circle, which should be a tripping horse.

This is like words, the Sui army didn't think that the Zhou army dared to do this but had no defense, but these stumbling blocks were not a problem for them, and the two rows of cavalry rushing to the front were to use their lives to clear the obstacles for the comrades behind them.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the Zhou army's crossbowmen fired arrows, and at the moment when the arrows were fired, the upper body of the crossbowmen leaned back slightly, as if it was because the recoil was too strong.

The strongest is just a crossbow, how strong can it be?

Shangyi thought to Guo Yan, he led the cavalry on the left wing of the Sui army to outflank the central crossbow of the lagging Zhou army, the cavalry was heavily armored and not afraid of arrows, and the head and chest of the war horse also had a chest, and the middle and upper arrows would not lose the ability to charge at all.

With a snort, he saw the front row of cavalry lean back sharply, and then fell off their horses, and some of the horses directly burst half of their necks, and then fell to the ground with a wail.

"Shoot a horse arrow!"

Guo Yan used horse arrows, which are special arrows like flat leaves or flat-headed shovels, and once they hit a horse, they cut a big hole directly.

But so what? We are elite soldiers who have been killed from the sea of corpses and blood!

The speed of the horse accelerated, and he continued to rush forward, the horse lance was raised, aiming at those Zhou army crossbowmen, Guo Yan was very familiar with this kind of scene, as long as the cavalry in the front row sacrificed their lives to break through the tripping horse rope, then...

How is it so strange that the tripwires on the periphery are circled around and across the ground like snakes?

The drums sounded, and the Zhou army began to move forward, but it could not meet the exposed crossbowmen and crossbowmen, and the Sui cavalry soon rushed into the strange triphorse rope, which then caused a rain of blood.

The first row of cavalry was tripped up, but the stumbling horse rope was still there, the second row and the third row of cavalry rushed up, still tripped, and the weight of more than 100 catties of men and horses was still rushing these stumbling horses.

Guo Yan, who fell from the horse, did not break his hands and feet, he has encountered many situations in this situation, so the moment the war horse tripped, he rolled to the ground with his head in his hands, endured the pain and pulled out his saber, and was about to rush forward but was hung up by another tripping horse.

No, this is not a common tripwire, it is actually made of iron coils, with countless iron thorns twisted on it, and the grounding side is firmly nailed by large door-shaped iron nails about every three or four paces.

Guo Yan, who was dressed in armor, wanted to rush forward, but he was entangled by these strange things and couldn't move forward, it was almost at the height of a person's waist or so, and he couldn't cross it at all.

And in front of him, there are at least three more such barbed wires.

No wonder Zhou Jun dared to do this, this is an insurmountable obstacle, they have fallen into a trap!

People turned on their backs, and the charging Sui cavalry all fell, and the tenacity of these strange tripping horses was unexpected, Guo Yan, who couldn't advance or retreat, looked at the armored Zhou army crossbow in front of him in a daze, the crossbow was a little strange, and there was a crank on the side of the crossbow.

The crossbowman bends down and steps on the tread ring at the front of the crossbow, and as the left hand quickly shakes the handle, the crossbow arm slowly bends and finally winds up, and then the opponent straightens up and begins to fire the arrow.

Guo Yan, who has been in battle for a long time, can no longer describe his mood at this time: he actually used a winch to wind it, how strong the pull of this crossbow is!

The crossbowmen were ready, but they did not immediately release their arrows, and under the command of the generals on the side, the crossbowmen in the front row raised their crossbows at the same time and aimed them forward.

"First row, ready, shoot!"

The sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the moment the arrows flew out, the upper body of the crossbowman leaned back slightly, and Guo Yan only felt that many arrows flew from the left and right, and a black spot appeared in front of his sight.

With a pop, a crossbow arrow hit Guo Yan's face, his head fell back sharply and then fell to the ground, and he was shot to death before he could use his martial arts at all.

The brave cavalry of the Sui army, all of whom were stopped in front of the serpentine barbed wire, were all shot and killed by the Zhou army's crossbowmen, and none of them survived.

Zhou Jun's main formation, Yu Wenwen observed the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror, and the performance of the barbed wire was good, this was the little old bottom he left, in order to make up for the amount used today, he had saved almost for two years.

'If there were a Gatling gun... It's so ferocious, if there is a musket three-stage fire, then it will be alive, unless there is an artillery assist, the cavalry will never be able to break through the barbed wire! ’

Yuwen Wen thought so, but it was a little heartbroken, the Sui cavalry rushed like this, and I don't know how many barbed wire fences were broken.

'It's good, it's just too expensive, the iron production is not enough, and it took a long time to save this...'

If it weren't for the paper version of the cottage Hale rockets being transferred, Yuwenwen would actually not have to take out the barbed wire, but what a priority, if he didn't take it out, he would be afraid that it would be uncomfortable for the soldiers to be rushed by the Sui cavalry.

Don't General Chen Wudi also used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the battlefield, the serpentine barbed wire is powerful, he and the soldiers of the Tiger Forest Army have seen it, as long as it is properly arranged, the cavalry will not be able to rush through at all.

It was all an iron wire drawn from Daye's fine iron, three thin strands twisted into a thick one, and countless iron thorns were twisted on it, and the knife may not be able to cut it, let alone how could there be so much time for you to cut on the battlefield!

"Guogong, do you want to press this formation?"

"No, let's take a look at the other party's catties first, if the Sui army's infantry formation can't even withstand the first blow of the Hulin army... Hehe. (To be continued.) )
