Chapter 493: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Sun Li commanded the Qingcalf Army and launched an attack against the Han army. The camps of the two sides are advancing in reverse, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer. When the two sides were a hundred paces away, the Han army raised their shields one after another. The heavy shield soldiers in the front row, holding all iron shields in their hands, more than half a person high, lift the shields to cover most of the whole body, and the soldiers in the back hold wooden shields, hold them high above their heads, and look at each side
A large wooden shield formation was formed above the array.
The captains of the various formations, while riding horses and shuttling in the formation, shouted repeatedly: "Archer, open the bow!" "Prepare to release the arrows!" On the Han side, the Han army has experienced several large-scale legion battles, whether it is the generals at the upper level, or the lieutenants at the middle level, and the soldiers at the bottom level, they all have rich combat experience
。
Following the instructions of the captain, the archers twisted their bows and arrows. With the captain's shout: "Shoot the arrows!" Immediately after, a rain of arrows flew out of the phalanx.
The arrow array of the Han army was not shot out by a phalanx, but by the entire phalanx of the front army, and the arrows were released together.
I heard a buzzing sound in the ear chakra, and looked from afar, only to see a long black mist soaring from the Han army camp, drawing an arc in the sky, and then, the arrow array hung with a frightening whistling sound, smashing into the camp of the Qingcalf army.
Crackle! The arrows falling from the air were as dense as raindrops, and the inexperienced Qingcalf Army, in just an instant, a long row of people was buried by the arrow array.
The Qingcalf Army has never fought a clan war, and what they are best at is to make a sneak attack, run away after grabbing, and lead the noses of officers and soldiers to fight.
A face-to-face confrontation like the one now, and a head-to-head confrontation of this scale, is not at all what they are good at, and most importantly, they have no combat experience in this area.
The Han army's arrow array made the Qingcalf army suffer a big loss before the two sides made official contact.
Many of the soldiers were ill-prepared and were smashed by the arrows, some of them were hit by several arrows, some of them were hit by dozens of arrows, or even dozens of arrows, and they fell to the ground like hedgehogs.
It wasn't until the Han army had already shot the third round of arrows that the generals of the Qingcalf Army reacted in hindsight and shouted: "Top shield!" Brothers, take up your shields! ”
However, on the side of the Qingcalf Army, some soldiers have shields, and some soldiers do not have shields.
With only such a shield array, how can it withstand such a large-scale arrow array of the Han army?
When the Qingcalf Army advanced forward, it was all the way and died all the way, and many soldiers walked forward, but they were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and they were never able to stand up again.
Sun Li, who was sitting in the Chinese army, grinned secretly, and said to the generals around him: "The enemy's arrows are very powerful!" Let the brothers of the former army, speed up and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat! ”
Sun Li thought that as long as he fought hand-to-hand combat, his own soldiers would not be as passive as they are now, but in the legion battle, hand-to-hand combat tested the comprehensive strength of both sides.
When the two armies were fifty paces apart, the Han army's arrow array suddenly became more ferocious, and a large number of soldiers began to use crossbow arrows to fire arrows at the opposite side.
What's worse is that there are no heavy shield soldiers at the head of the Qingcalf Army, and the people are basically holding small round shields made of wood, where can this kind of shield withstand a large-scale arrow array?
As the Han army used crossbow arrows, the casualties of the Qingcalf army also skyrocketed. The generals of the Qingcalf Army had no way to deal with it at all, so they could only urge their soldiers one by one, accelerate their advance, and push forward with all their might.
The distance between the two sides was shortened from 50 paces to 30 paces, 20 steps, and 10 steps. Gradually, the front platoons on both sides could clearly hear the wheezing of the enemy on the opposite side.
Finally, the phalanxes on both sides collided. Knock knock, the sound of shields colliding with shields was one. The heavy shield soldiers on the Han army's side were not good, but it was the Qingcalf army on the opposite side, and they were knocked into a long platoon.
The arrangement of the Han army is like a textbook, with a clear eye. The heavy shield soldiers in the front row are the strongest soldiers in the army, and it is also because they are strong enough to carry such a heavy iron shield.
However, the arrangement of the Qingcalf Army was very casual, and the bold ones were placed in the front, and the timid ones were left behind.
On the surface, it seems that there is nothing wrong with such an arrangement, after all, the soldiers in front of the line need to be bold to make direct physical contact with the enemy.
However, in addition to courage, the confrontation between the two armies requires super physical fitness and super combat effectiveness. In ancient times, the two armies faced each other, and once the front army was defeated, the battle was basically lost, because the most elite soldiers of the whole army must be placed in the front army to take the lead. The ancient military strategists could summarize the concept of such a troop arrangement, and there must have been
He has a point.
And the generals of the Qingcalf Army, I am afraid that they have not learned the art of war for a few days, and even the most basic arrangement of troops is chaotic.
In normal times, they wandered around and fought guerrillas, but it didn't matter, but now they were doing regular regimental warfare with the Han army, and they were so casual that their huge disadvantages were immediately exposed on the battlefield.
The shield soldiers in the front row can't stop the rush of the heavy shield soldiers of the Han army, and the spearmen in the back row are people's live targets.
One by one, spears and halberds stabbed out from behind the heavy shield soldiers, without any obstruction, and directly stabbed on the bodies of the Qingcalf soldiers, in the center of the battlefield, screaming everywhere.
On the other hand, in the counterattack of the Qingcalf Army, most of the spears stabbed out were blocked by the heavy shields in the front row of the Han army, and the lethality caused to the Han army was extremely limited.
At the same time, the archers of the Han army camp were not idle, people kept twisting their bows and arrows, shooting arrows into the air, drawing arcs from high altitudes, and smashing into the center of the camp of the Qingcal army. The arrow array of the Han army is not a round, but one round after another, under the edge of the arrow array, the soldiers were shot to the ground in groups, some were killed on the spot, some were injured but not dead, and they were still wailing on the ground
Seek help.
But soon, a layer of black grass grew on the people's bodies, which was covered by the Han army's subsequent arrow array.
Under the attack of the Han army's arrow array, the Qingcalf army camp was forcibly cut out of a hollow area, this wide and wide strip was completely covered by the arrow array, and one died one after another, and a group of dead people came in.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will clearly find that the overall formation of the Qingcalf Army has been disjointed and has been cut into two parts by the Han army's arrow array.
There were also archers in the Qingcalf army, and they also counterattacked the Han army, but the killing effect on the Han army was not great. First of all, the Han military array has formed a shield array, and most of the arrows falling from the sky are blocked by the shield array
The arrows were fired into the Han camp on the opposite side, while some arrows were shot into the front army of the Qingcalf army, not only did they fail to kill or injure the other side, but also caused great casualties to their own personnel. In Clan Wars, where the archers need to stand to release their arrows, the angle at which the arrows shoot into the air, and even how much force they should use, these are all strict procedures, under which they can not only effectively kill the opponent, but also be sure
To ensure that you don't injure your own people by mistake, it's not as casual as the archers who put their arrows wherever they want.
I don't know if I don't fight, but this fight, the shortcomings of the Qingcalf Army's lack of experience in big battles have been completely exposed.
The whole army was fighting more and more chaotically, and gradually, the originally neat rectangular formation was now in chaos, and it was impossible to see what kind of formation it was. Sun Li, who was watching the battle from behind, gasped, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had thought about this battle too simply, thinking that the forces of both sides were equal, and that his soldiers could conquer the Han army in one fell swoop if they were determined to die
In fact, this is not the case at all, the gap in combat strength between the two sides is too great, and the situation on the battlefield is almost showing a one-sided crushing trend.
Sun Li saw that his side was getting worse and worse the more he fought, and the other generals naturally saw it as well.
People walked quickly to Sun Li's approach, arched their hands and said: "General, the Han army is fierce, my army is probably not the opponent of the Han army, it is better to ...... It's better to withdraw the troops first! ”
Looking around at the surrounding generals, Sun Li's face sank, and he shouted: "The battle has just begun, retreating at this time, won't people laugh off their big teeth?" ”
After a pause, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said fiercely: "Smash and sink all the ships on the north shore of the water, I have already said, in today's battle, either the enemy dies or I die, no one should give me any luck!" ”
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed greatly. Isn't it a self-defeating retreat to sink all the ships on the north shore? The people said in unison: "General, don't ...... you"
"Let you go, and you will go! At that time, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, 50,000 could break 400,000, our army has more than 100,000, and the enemy army is only more than 100,000. "The reason why the battle of Julu can break 50,000 to 400,000 is because the person who led the troops is Xiang Yu, but are you Xiang Yu, general? The battle of Kunyang, the reason why 3,000 can break 400,000 is because the person who led the troops was Liu Xiu, but are you Liu Xiu, general? You're not
But it's not Liu Xiu, it's exactly Liu Xiu that you're playing against! Can you use this set with Liu Xiu? The generals looked at each other, and one by one stood still, no one moving.
Seeing this, Sun Li was furious, holding his sword in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Didn't you hear my orders? ”
Under Sun Li's coercion, the generals had no choice but to follow Sun Li's order to scuttle all the ships on the north shore of the river.
Soon, the news spread to the camp of the young calf army, and people heard that their ships were all sunk, and not only did not improve their morale, but the whole army was mourned.
The ship is gone, which means that there is no way out for the side, how can this battle be fought?
The Qingcalf army was in turmoil, and the shouts of the people were naturally heard by the Han army on the opposite side. It didn't take long for the news to reach Liu Xiu.
Hearing the report of his soldiers, saying that Sun Li had scuttled the ships of the Qingli Army, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, and reconfirmed it to the soldiers to make sure that he had heard it correctly, Liu Xiu couldn't help but laugh on his back.
He bowed to his side and said, "Xiang Gong doesn't know how many people he has harmed in future generations for his feat in the giant deer!" ”
This is how to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog. There are specific conditions, and one of the most important ones is that there needs to be a leader like Xiang Yu, who has super cohesion, and is brave enough to champion the three armies and be invincible, and to have the kind of 'although Chu has three households, Qin will be Chu if he dies'
Determination and courage, if I have the ruthlessness to bite off a piece of meat on you even if I die.
At the beginning, Zhen Fu played this set in Nanyang and played himself in, and now Sun Li has learned Xiang Yu to play this set again, if you don't die, who will die? Liu Xiu looked at the blank bow with a blank face, smiled, and said in a firm tone: "In this battle, the thief army will die in the water!" ”
