Chapter 906: Kill Him
Chapter 906: Kill Him
The battle between the two wings was not tempting from the beginning, with flesh spreading a layer on the ground, and feathered arrows laying another layer on flesh.
The soldiers stepped on the corpses of the soldiers and rushed forward, and there was no turning back from them.
The soldiers in front may be afraid or want to retreat, but the soldiers in the back are squeezing forward, how can they turn back? When charging in this kind of dense group, the most important thing is not to win, but to try not to fall, once you fall, it is death, an ugly death.
Archers are the fastest of all infantry classes, so at the beginning of the engagement, you can see that the archers on both sides are desperately running forward, and when they reach range, the feathered arrows begin to rain down on the top of each other's heads. And at this time, it is a critical time to test whether an archer is qualified.
The best archers can shoot up to three arrows in such a short period of time, and being able to shoot two arrows is actually qualified. The two sides hedged, and the distance of more than a hundred steps is really not very long. The archers are followed by the spearmen, who are second only to the archers in the infantry class.
The spearman is also the lowest cost of all classes.
The barrel of the ash rod, the iron spear head.
Compared with the long lance used by the Great Sui army, the cost of the spear was simply negligible. Even if it is to build a hardwood lance, it is much more expensive than to build a spear, let alone a composite lance.
After the archers on both sides quickly fired a few arrows, the array began to change. The spearmen who followed the archers began to rush forward like crazy, and at this time, the difference between the Sui army and the victorious army became particularly obvious.
Although the troops under Yang Jian's command appear to be slightly smaller, they are all regular soldiers of the Great Sui. And the original left guard elite under Shengtu's command were all arranged by him in the back, and now they are all soldiers under Jin Shiduo who are rushing forward. These soldiers had not undergone any decent training at all, and in terms of quality, they were much worse than the Sui army.
The archers of the victorious army ran in a mess, and the archers of the Sui army could ensure that the most basic system was not chaotic even when they were running. After stopping, the archers of the Sui army quickly found their own positions and then reformed the phalanx.
The archers of the victorious army were too far apart, and by the time they stood, they were already in disarray.
After the feather arrows were fired, the archers of the Sui army immediately changed formation. The original phalanx was quickly tightened, and the two people stood next to each other, so that there was a vacancy, and the lancers and swordsmen behind them also rushed forward along this vacancy, so that the integrity of the array could still be maintained.
In terms of dealing with feather arrows, the quality of the Sui army was far superior to that of the victorious army.
When the Sui army attacked, after rushing past the archers, the spearmen regrouped into a dense formation, and then raised the spears in their hands high, led by the slogans of the generals in front, swaying regularly from left to right. The spear array swinging back and forth can effectively reduce the lethality of feather arrows.
On the city wall of Liuzhou
Sheng Tu looked at the battle scene with clairvoyance, and his face changed slightly: "Jin Shiduo gathered hundreds of thousands of horses in an instant, and he thought that there were hundreds of thousands of horses who could be on an equal footing with me...... These soldiers of his are simply a rabble. In front of the Sui army, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold on for an hour. ”
His subordinate general Liu You was taken aback: "Your Majesty...... If Jin Shiduo's men and horses were defeated and attacked the main formation, once the enemy was chasing after him, wouldn't that cause an inverted bead curtain? ”
"How could I possibly allow this to happen?"
Sheng Tu said: "Anyone who leads the troops knows that once the situation of the inverted bead curtain is formed, then it has already been defeated. I put Jin Shiduo's men and horses in the front, but it was not as simple as preserving strength. You see, tell me when Kim Shiduo's men start to retreat. ”
Liu You hurriedly agreed, holding clairvoyance and staring at the battlefield.
Sui Jun
On a high platform
Yang Jian smiled coldly after putting down his clairvoyance: "I heard that Luo Yao is very disciplined in his use of soldiers, and he was a rare famous general at that time. The Great Sui destroyed the Shang, and Luo Yao did fight a few beautiful battles. Shengtu has followed Luo Yao for so many years, why is his vision so low? He thought that blocking the rabble of Jin Shiduo was to preserve the strength of his original left forward elite, but in fact this was a disadvantage. ”
"Tell me the order!"
Yang Jian said loudly: "Mobilize two more armies to press up, now Jin Shiduo's men and horses are about to collapse, and one more straw is enough...... Once Jin Shiduo's men and horses retreat, stick to the back and kill! ”
……
……
Ye Sheng, the general of the Sui army, led a team of elite men and horses, stabbed into Jin Shiduo's men and horses like a wedge, and saw that the general flag on the left flank of the victorious army was not far ahead, Ye Sheng pointed the horizontal knife in that direction, and the elite of the hundred battles behind him immediately rushed over there.
Even though the Great Sui has collapsed, the combat effectiveness of the Sui army is still not to be underestimated. Compared with those bandits, the overall quality of the Sui army is much higher. In the early days of the Great Sui Rebellion, a few hundred Sui soldiers were often able to wipe out a team of bandits with a claim to be 10,000 people. And Jin Shiduo's men and horses are either people who have been forcibly captured, or bastards who are trying to eat for a while, and they don't know how to kill people at all.
After the two sides were mixed together, although it looked like chaos, if you looked closely, the array of the Sui army was still very complete. Five people form a small plum blossom formation, which seems to be scattered, but as long as you find the law of their formation, you will clearly see the Sui army's troops, teams, regiments, and battalions in the chaotic army.
Ye Sheng split half of the swordsman of the victorious army soldier in front of him with a single sword, and then kicked the corpse to the side. The knife in his hand took advantage of the situation, and he removed half of the shoulder of the second victorious soldier.
"Change the knife!"
He threw away the horizontal knife in his hand, which had already broken several gaps, and as soon as he stretched his hand back, his own soldier immediately shoved a horizontal knife into his hand. Even the horizontal knife of the Great Sui system will quickly collapse in such a strong collision. After hacking more than a dozen people to death, Ye Sheng shouted again to change the knife, and his own soldiers handed it over again.
With Ye Sheng as the arrow, soon the resistance of the victorious army was torn open a bloody hole. The Sui army attacking forward formed a triangle, and Ye Sheng was the sharpest corner of the triangle, and as he went deeper and deeper, the Sui army could tear the formation of the winning army bigger and bigger.
Seeing that the flag was not far away, Ye Sheng shouted and rushed forward. He Wei, the general under Jin Shiduo, was already afraid when he saw the generals of the Sui army rushing over. He kept waving his arms to let the soldiers push forward, but he didn't dare to fight, where did the soldiers come from?
Ye Sheng swept the neck of a lieutenant of the Shengjun in front of him with a single sword, and rushed forward in the blood that spurted out. These elites of the Sui army are like a harvester, and those victorious soldiers are wheat, falling down one by one.
"Chop the Banner!"
Ye Sheng shouted, and then led a hundred and ten personal soldiers forward. Those victorious soldiers were forced to retreat again and again, and some of them walked backwards and accidentally fell, holding their heads and wailing that they thought they would die, but found that the Sui soldiers didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, but rushed straight towards the general flag.
He Wei saw that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to take off the horse lance from the victory hook, and stabbed Ye Sheng's heart with a lance, Ye Sheng flashed to the side, grabbed the lance with his left hand, and pressed the horizontal knife on the lance with his right hand and pushed it, and the four fingers of He Wei's hand were cut off by the brush.
Ye Sheng's pro-soldier captain slashed at the front leg of He Wei's war horse, and the war horse screamed and fell forward. He Dawei was shocked, where could he still take care of the injury on his hand, and when he struggled to stand up, he saw a horizontal knife-like sword light flickering in front of his eyes.
Then he felt a whirlwind of the world, and his gaze shifted extremely quickly.
The next second, he saw the sticky blood spurting out of his broken neck.
With a click, the head hit the ground.
Ye Sheng kicked He Wei's head away, then strode up and snatched the flag from the frightened victorious soldier, and folded it into two pieces on his knee with a click.
"The flag of the left flank of the victorious army has fallen!"
The Sui army erupted in cheers, and the soldiers attacked more fiercely.
……
……
"It's not okay to go on like this!"
Jin Shiduo's right-hand men saw that the flag of the left wing had fallen, and immediately turned their heads to look at Jin Shiduo: "General, hurry up and ask for help!" If we don't ask for help, our people will be swept up! ”
Jin Shiduo's face turned blue and white for a while, and he subconsciously glanced back at the city wall of Liuzhou and smiled coldly: "Asking for help? If Shengtu sends a reinforcement, it will be considered that I, Jin Shiduo, have seen the wrong person! He just deliberately put my people in front of him, so that he could preserve his strength. ”
"What then?"
His subordinate asked eagerly.
"Let the people in front of me hold it to me!"
Jin Shiduo commanded, and then lowered his voice and said: "If the Sui army attacks too fiercely in a while, let the rear team prepare to retreat to the east, let the opening come out, and let the Sui army rush to Shengtu's men and horses from the mouth." If you want me to be a shield, you haven't asked me if I say yes! ”
Sui Jun
Yang Jian looked at the left flank that had completely suppressed the victorious army, and finally smiled: "Add one more army to go immediately, the enemy's left flank has already shown signs of rout, as long as you add more strength, it is enough." ”
"Is this going to win?"
Standing beside Yang Jian, Da Zizi asked.
Yang Jian shook his head: "Maybe this is just Shengtu's deliberate doing, he still has at least hundreds of thousands of elites who have not been used, and now it is only Jin Shiduo's defense line that has been broken." Jin Shiduo and Shengtu are not in harmony, if nothing else, it won't be long before Jin Shiduo will let a way out. ”
"Discord?"
Da Zizi couldn't help but laugh: "Discord between the enemy's own people, this kind of thing is always very pleasant. ”
"You haven't led troops, so you won't know...... Sometimes what seems to be a victory is not a real victory, but a hole deliberately dug by the enemy. Therefore, one should never take any opponent lightly. ”
Yang Jian put down his clairvoyance and commanded loudly: "Let Su Li, who is attacking the right flank, be more ruthless, both wings will be involved, and it will take a while to directly smash the enemy's Chinese army." ”
"Mossa"
Yang Jian glanced back at his general Mosa: "The ironclad army with you is ready to press forward, once Jin Shiduo's men and horses open a hole, immediately lead people to squeeze in!" ”
Liuzhou City
Sheng Tu saw that Jin Shiduo's left flank had collapsed, but instead of being angry, his face was a little relaxed: "Let the firearms battalion go up, and when the ironclad army comes up, use muskets to force Jin Shiduo's people to mix with the ironclad army." Those ironclads are already slow, which is their drawback, and when they are mixed up, they are even slower......"
"No matter how fierce a lion is, if he can't run......"
A hint of pride flashed in Sheng Tu's eyes: "I have a hundred ways to kill it." ”
