Chapter 217: Fighting to the Death and Not Retreating 4
After some calm observation, a complete plan for the Black Tiger Army's spear formation has been planned in Gong Weixian's heart, bow and arrow attack from afar, spear to spearman melee combat
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the army has a strict division of arms, but this time in order to pursue a group of rabble, the pole was just drawn from the various branches of the military, and the strength was inadvertently broken by the military establishment, so there was such a fiasco
But Gong Weixian is an old soldier after all, and immediately saw his recklessness and hot-headedness, and immediately adjusted his deployment according to experience, and immediately summoned the surrounding generals to immediately adjust the next attack
The generals were arranged to run back to their ranks quickly, and began to straighten out the formation, picking out the sergeants with bows and arrows, arranging about four or five hundred people, lining up at the edge of the pit, and then picking out about a thousand soldiers with spears in the front, and about a thousand people with short weapons, waiting in formation, once the bows and arrows worked, the spears opened a gap for them, and they swarmed up to start hand-to-hand combat, and the sword and shield hand against the spear, once they got close, it was almost a victory
Gong Weixian was assigned to rectify and stop, and he didn't wait for everyone to rest, and waved his hand loudly, ordering the archers to start attacking with arrows
Zhao Dahai repelled the enemy's first wave of attacks, inspected the manpower, and found that there were only a dozen or so people wounded but not dead, looking at the enemy who fell in front of the battle, there were as many as 400 people, and his heart was relieved
The brothers' training methods and spear formations are really remarkable, if they had met such an opponent in the past, killed hundreds of enemies, and their own side would have to exchange the same human life for it, where would there be such a brilliant record
Seeing that after the other party retreated, he didn't retreat, but relined up and prepared to attack again, which surprised Geng Kui and the others
According to the normal situation, when a group of pole casualties reach 10%, then it is already a failure, only defeat goes one way, and the casualties reach 30%, then it must be a rout and scattered, not only the pole, but even the officers and soldiers are the same, but looking at today's situation, the other party counts the cavalry casualties and has reached 20%, not only did not have a rout, but also can organize another attack, it seems that he has really met an opponent today, and it is a very hard opponent
He didn't know that he was facing an opponent he couldn't afford to lose, which was really unfortunate for the Black Tiger Army
Looking at the formation of the other party, it was really difficult, and fifty paces away was a column of archers, and it seemed that they were going to use bows and arrows against their own gun formation, which was a very fatal thing
I am all pikemen here, there are no archers to suppress the other party, and there is no shield to cover the bow and arrow, and the rattan armor worn by the brothers and the rattan hats they wear, the long-distance bows and arrows still have a protective effect, but such a close distance is the best range of the bow and arrow, and the most powerful time, although the rattan armor can resist the bow and arrow, it can basically only keep the arrow from going too deep into the flesh, but there will definitely be casualties
Looking at the front row of the enemy is a long spear of water, although the opponent's spear is not as long as its own, it will definitely be able to bring trouble to itself, and then look at the guys in the back who are eager to try it out with a short blade in their hands, and they will know that they are going to fight hand-to-hand with themselves when the spear bow and arrow open the gap
"It's really fucking troublesome, it looks like the leader of the other party is not simple," Zhao Dahai muttered, spitting on the ground and muttering hatefully
Zhao Dahai rode on his horse and leaned over and said to the current commander-in-chief, Geng Kui: "Brother Geng Kui, this group of officers and soldiers is not simple, they have five or six hundred dead and wounded, and they can still insist on not returning, and they want to organize men and horses to attack again, especially this time the battle formation they discharged is really unfavorable to us, you see what we should do this time."
Geng Kui nodded while observing nervously: "That's true, this time they are the nemesis of our gun formation, we can't be beaten passively like this, we have to take the initiative to attack and mix with the officials and soldiers, so that their bows and arrows can't exert their power, so that our spears can amplify the power to the limit."
"Yes" Zhao Dahai slammed his fist on the saddle and made the war horse shake: "Take the initiative to attack, let's let the officers and soldiers see who is stronger"
"At this time, it's up to the deputy commander," Geng Kui looked up at Zhao Dahai and said
"Gossip, Hugh said that I was also uncomfortable, and I was about to move my muscles, and my brother's bad move wiped out the cavalry of the official army, and they no longer have the capital to confront me, this time it is time for my cavalry to exert their might, you are here to command the spearmen to kill the enemy, I will take my cavalry brothers around, as long as the officers and soldiers are in chaos, I will give him a beating, the water dog, and kill him."
"Good deputy commander, be careful," Geng Kui nodded firmly
The order to attack was conveyed to the three teams, Zhu Tie tightened his belt, straightened his body, took a deep breath, and shouted: "What if the officers and soldiers have another set, if we meet us today, we will compete with each other, who is more tenacious and who is stronger."
"Everyone, you see, the enemy has not retreated, and they will continue to fight to the death with us, they will use bows and arrows, spears, knives and axes, and eighteen weapons together, our battle will be very difficult and tragic, but the task given to us by the military division is to stop them, and they will be nailed here like nails until our old battalion brigade is safely traveling, and you are not afraid of the coming death."
"Kill for the fathers and elders behind you" replied to him with a firm and powerful slogan, and through the battle just now, he saw the enemy's casualties and was full of confidence in this gun array
"Let's attack, fight with them, let their bows and arrows be useless, let them gather together to stab them to death, annihilate them, let them know that they are ruthless, we are more ruthless than them, they are not afraid of death, we are less afraid of death than them" Wang Xin Jiang Liang loudly encouraged the brothers behind him, this is the first battle for his brother to come up the mountain, whether he can stand firm after the first battle of the cottage, it depends on this performance, there is no way back, then resolutely do not retreat
"For the father and the elder behind him, fight to the death, kill and kill", what answered them was a neater and more high-pitched killing voice
With a sigh of relief, the three captains shouted together, "A row of guns flat"
With the shouts of the captain, a row of brothers brushed and lowered the spears flat
"The second row of guns is flattened"
"The third row of guns is pointed diagonally at the ground"
"The waist drum --- beat--" With the captain's long rough tone in northern Shaanxi, the drummer beat the waist drum firmly and powerfully
"Knock, knock, knock、、、" With a firm and slow drum beat, the whole team walked towards the enemy's phalanx step by step with neat and firm steps
Gong Weixian also heard the shouts of the captain of the Black Tiger Army, all the officers and soldiers on the battlefield heard the shouts of the captain, the fierce fighting spirit and firm oath are more lethal than the big sword and spear, in front of such an opponent, people have a feeling of powerlessness in their hearts, which makes their hearts cold, and the hands holding the weapons begin to tremble, and people begin to look left and right in panic, and they dare not face the enemy on the opposite side
As the opposing army formation pressed the confidence of himself and his brothers slowly, it slowly sank like a falling ice cellar, and the sergeants began to cower at each other, watching each other, squeezing each other, trying to find safety in their companions, and with each dull drum beat, every time the enemy army formation moved forward, their own side involuntarily took a step back, and no longer obeyed the orders of the commander
Gong Weixian was stunned, really stunned, who are these people, when did the thieves dare to attack in the face of the official army, and it was a thousand against three thousand
"Hurry up and stop them," someone cried out
Without waiting for Gong Weixian, the main general, to order the archers standing behind to immediately open their bows and release arrows, but the teammates in front blocked their sight, they had to give up the technique of aiming and shooting, and took a high-altitude upward shot, more than 400 long arrows flew up to the sky unevenly, and then reached a very high point, and fell Gong Weixian, observing from a high place, the first salvo effect was not good, uneven, all shot in front of the enemy's feet, and even more simply shot in their own brothers, in exchange for a wailing and cursing, but the enemy was not deterred by the arrows falling in front of the feet, and still followed the drum to firmly advance with the gun
"Hurry up and find death, hurry up and shoot," there were more people howling in panic
The second batch of arrows flew into the sky, and everyone's eyes followed the whereabouts of the arrows to watch, and this time it was good, at least a hundred or dozens of them fell into the enemy's queue, and everyone held their breath and waited for the result of the enemy being shot
The arrows fell from the air with a scream, it was the sound of death, fortunately, the first batch fell in front of it, did not cause harm to anyone, everyone's nervous heart relaxed slightly, survived a pass, with the drum continued to move mechanically, the footsteps stamped out vigorously, one to cheer himself up, the second to relieve the tension, followed by the second batch of arrows with the same scream fell to the team, there were more than a hundred shot on the brothers in the team, but the rattan helmet played a role, blocking the lethality of the arrows, but there were many people still bleeding head
A brother next to Wang Da may have been too heavy with an arrow, piercing the Teng helmet and reaching the brain, he snorted softly, and a brother in the second row immediately took a step forward, immediately filled the vacancy, put the gun flat, everyone still followed the drum step by step, and walked firmly towards the enemy, another row of arrows fell, and more than a dozen brothers were hit by arrows, but they were still blocked by the double-layered rattan armor, a few brothers fell, and a few brothers ran forward to fill the vacancy, and more brothers moved forward firmly with the trembling long arrows on their bodies
Zhu Tie walked on the right side of the team, didn't look at the team, didn't care about the falling arrows in the sky, just stared at the enemy on the opposite side, approaching the enemy step by step, he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, and an arrow in his chest was also hit, it hurt very much, and he didn't pull out the drummer, he fell down, and the spare drummer ran over, followed him closely, and continued to hit quickly, as long as there were ten more steps, he would come into contact with the enemy, and at that time, the enemy's bow and arrow could no longer be released
"Hold steady, keep the formation, hold on, ---------"
