Chapter 122: Broken Bones

In the face of this opportunity, the soldiers of the Eastern Army fought hard to assault, and the soldiers who rushed to the front line wore white cloth belts and white robes, and they shouted "revenge" and pursued and routed the enemy with white flags.

This is a "volunteer soldier" composed of the sons and daughters of powerful sects in Huaixi, their relatives and clansmen died at the hands of the other party, and the family property and clan property were robbed by the other party.

The Lianghuai region, in the past nearly 20 years of war, first Qi and Chen contended, and then Zhou and Chen contended, Zhou Quanquan took Jiangbei not long after the internal strife, Chang'an court and Yecheng court fought in Lianghuai.

Nearly 20 years of war, for Huaixi Wubao Haoqiang has become accustomed to, they have experience in how to deal with the forces of all parties, whoever is strong will obey whom, and then take out some grain and grass to deal with it, they are all happy.

Qi Guo, who was busy dealing with the Zhou State, didn't have the heart to run the two Huai, as long as the heroes were obedient, they didn't bother to care too much; Chen Guo, who was busy with the Northern Expedition, was too late to win over these heroes, where would he be ruthless.

And the Zhou State, which occupied the two Huai, had no time to beat them, and there was infighting among themselves, which then evolved into a confrontation between Zhou and Sui.

Zhou finally destroyed the Sui State, and attacked the Chen State, this battle was not over, and he was infighting again, for the Haoqiang of Huaixi, the forces that controlled Huaixi changed and changed, but what remained unchanged was their local strong surnames.

However, a few months ago, the "newcomers" changed their rules and, in spite of their dishonesty, brazenly sent troops to attack various Wubao forts, killing people and setting fires, forcibly seizing the land of Wubao, and doing everything to the end.

Every family is dead, every household wears filial piety, this hatred is not shared, and the children who escaped from the catastrophe are all cracked, and they are all waiting for the day of revenge.

Today is a good time for revenge, as long as the official army defeats the main force of the rebels, then the Huaixi region, which has been reduced to purgatory, will win a new life, and Lang Lang Qiankun will reappear in their hometown.

Therefore, even if they were crushed, the volunteers did not regret it.

All righteousness has to be put aside, and the only righteousness is blood revenge!

The white cloth belt tied on their heads is a filial piety hat, the white robe outside the armor is a filial piety uniform, and the white flag is a spirit flag.

The barbarian soldiers, whose will to fight had long since dissipated, were chased by these volunteers, revealing the soldiers of the lieutenant colonel in formation, like the sea at low tide, revealing a black reef.

The lieutenant colonel's military formation is composed of officers and soldiers, and the degree of organization and the will to fight are not comparable to the barbarians, but the volunteers are red-eyed, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they dare to break through, where can the mere infantry stop their progress.

The dead soldiers who carried the thunder in their arms, after lighting the fire twist, under the protection of their companions, rushed towards the spear array, the thunder in their arms was too big and too heavy to throw with their hands, so they had to use moths to fight the fire, and the enemy died together.

At the same time, soldiers rushed out of the infantry formation, they were heavily armoured, some with thunderbolts, others with iron forks in their hands, and the target was the enemy soldiers who were carrying the thunderbolts in their arms and making a suicidal charge.

They want to throw thunderbolts to make the danger clear, and they must use iron forks to push the opponent out of the formation, exchange life for life, and use their lives to ensure the safety of their comrades and ensure the integrity of the military formation.

The flames flickered, the explosions came and went, and in the billowing smoke, the lieutenant colonel of the Western Army was more or less intact, but the second suicidal charge was launched, then the third, and then the fourth.

In the smoke of gunpowder, there were a large number of gaps in the infantry formation of the lieutenant colonel of the Western Army, and the blood-stained volunteers in white robes held short soldiers, shouting and crashing straight into the scattered military formation, starting a white-edged battle, at the same time, they were subjected to the flank attacks of the soldiers on the left and right flanks of the Western Army, and suffered heavy casualties.

Facing the enemy on three sides, this is the result that the volunteers know before they charge, and as a trapped, it is very likely that they will fall into the opponent's pocket formation and be annihilated, but it doesn't matter, because as long as their sacrifice can create conditions for the victory of the official army, everything is worth it.

Some people were hit by several arrows, and the arrows pierced through the armor, and the blood overflowed, staining red and white robes; Someone was blown up by the thunder and lost his palm, but the intact guard still held the knife tightly.

Some people were wounded more than ten times, smashed by blunt objects and spat blood, still howling and pounced on the enemy, even if they were pierced by spears, they had to rush forward along the shaft of the spear, regardless of the head being opened, and before they died, they had to hold the spearmen tightly to create conditions for their companions to advance.

Since you are not even afraid of death, do you care if you are hacked to death by a knife, shot by an arrow or stabbed into a honeycomb by a spear?

The volunteers who suffered heavy casualties broke down the lieutenant colonel's formation of the Western Army at the cost of their lives, and they no longer had the strength to attack the enemy's rear colonel formation.

The soldiers in double armor stepped on the blood-stained ground, lined up in a neat horizontal formation, stepped over the layers of corpses, and advanced forward with spears without avoiding arrows and arrows.

To the left and right, there are the enemy's left and right flank formations, and friendly forces are struggling to intercept them, building two walls with their lives; In front, there is the military formation of the rear colonel of the Western Army, where the flags on the left and right wings are like walls, and between the flags is a phalanx of waiting for the battle, and the spears are like forests.

The officers and men of the Eastern Army knew that this should be the most proud of the enemy commander, and it was said that the infantry was extremely brave, and neither infantry nor cavalry could defeat it, and it had not tasted defeat in the past ten years.

And today, the Tiger Forest Army is about to be defeated in front of us!

The trumpet of the charge sounded, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army began to charge towards the pikemanship, and more than a hundred paces behind them were the cavalry at the ready.

Regardless of whether the infantry can knock on the enemy's last line of defense, they must charge, even if the casualties are large, they must penetrate the opponent's formation, which is the central breakthrough tactic, and their own left and right flank infantry formations are also attacking, restraining the opponent from flanking.

The battle entered a decisive moment, and just as the soldiers of the Eastern Army began to charge, the rear colonel of the Western Army also began to move: the Hulin Army, which had passed through the rout in a loose formation, quickly lined up a spear formation and prepared for a counter-charge.

However, it was the surprise soldiers on its left and right flanks who were the first to charge.

The banner like a wall suddenly fell, and the strange soldiers who had been hidden by it for most of the day showed their original form, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army who were about to rush in front of them were stunned after seeing the true faces of these strange soldiers.

With huge bodies, ears on both sides of the big head like big fans, and a nose like a python and long fangs, one giant beast after another appeared in front of them.

Rare elephants in the Central Plains, as war beasts appeared in the battle array, at a glance, the number was not less than twenty, each war elephant had a small building on its back, in addition to the driver and archers, all of them were heavily armoured.

The war elephant, also dressed in armor, bathed in the warm sunshine, took steady steps under the command of the pilot, and trampled towards the crowd in front of him.

The Eastern infantry, who was caught off guard, was frightened by the war elephants attacking on the opposite side and left, and watched the elephant's trunk raised, and watched the elephant's trunk draw down like a horsewhip.

The screams began, and several armor soldiers were just pumped into the air and flew into the air, and the blood spit out of their mouths sprayed all around, reflecting the panicked faces one by one.

The elephant's condescending archers shoot at the Eastern soldiers on their backs, while the war elephants roar forward, slamming their enemies with their noses, stabbing them with their tusks, and trampling flesh with their front feet.

The heavy armor could not stop the heavy elephant's feet, and the soldiers who were trampled under the feet of the war elephant instantly vomited blood and died, and their bodies turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, like broken bones, and the originally high-spirited charging team was instantly defeated by the war elephants.

The soldiers on the left and right wings of the Western Army couldn't help but cheer when they were shocked when they saw that their strange soldiers were such fierce beasts, and there were rumors before the war that a mysterious reinforcement had arrived, but it was strictly forbidden for unrelated people to approach their station.

The cries of wild beasts often come out of that mysterious camp, which is unheard of, and now everyone finally knows that the strange soldiers are war elephants, unstoppable war elephants!

In the main position of the right flank of the Western Army, Li Jing watched the movements of the Chinese army with a clairvoyant mirror, he barely saw the huge war elephants, and also heard the cheers from the direction of the Chinese army, but unlike the other excited people around him, his face was pale.

"How could it be, how could the King of Xiyang make such a defeat..."

Li Jing muttered to himself, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and when he saw that he was looking at himself inexplicably, he explained: "Hou Han Ma Fu Bo Ding Jiaozhi, the battle method of the Elephant Breaking Army is fire attack!" ”

"War elephants look mighty, but in fact they are afraid of fire, pain, and loud noises, once the enemy shoots with fire arrows and bombards with thunder, these war elephants will inevitably get out of control, and when they scatter and flee, they will inevitably counterattack our army, and how can the flesh and blood be able to stop it at that time!"

"At that time, our army formation will be scattered by it, and the collapse of the whole army will only be in an instant!"
