Looking at the left and right wings of the Shu army on the opposite side, they were slowly closing together like two flat palms, and they were surrounding the protrusion of their own side. Deng Ai smiled disdainfully, turned his head to Shi Usurpation, and said: "This vertical man, his heart is still very big, and he actually wants to annihilate our army." Be careful, if your teeth are not good, the whole army will collapse. ”

Shi Yu was also full of smiles, and was about to respond to Deng Ai, but when his eyes glanced at the center line of the battlefield, his pupils narrowed rapidly, and his fingers trembled and raised: "Shi Zai ......"

"Huh?" Following Shi Yu's gaze, Deng Ai also turned his gaze to the middle lane. But when he saw the scene of the middle line, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Because at this time, the arrows of the Wei army's front arrow formation had collided with the Chinese army of the Fuxing Army.

"Spear team, flat!"

"Wow!"

Following the orders of the officers at all levels in the gun array of the Fuxing Army, the miners from the salt shaft of Zigongting placed the spears that had been erected just now in a horizontal position. Then the tip of the gun was pointed towards the enemy, and in the rhythmic sound of a copper whistle, began to steadily advance towards the Wei army.

Then, the vanguard of the Wei army, the spear and shield soldiers, was embarrassed.

The spear and shield soldiers of the Wei army held a gun in one hand and a shield in the other. Compared to the revival salt workers who only have a spear in their hands. Its defenses are much stronger on the surface. However, because one hand has to hold a shield, it can only hold a gun in one hand, and if you hold a gun in one hand, the length of the gun cannot be too long, otherwise it cannot be controlled—therefore, the length of the spear and shield soldier of the Wei army, the spear in the right hand plus the tip of the spear, is only one meter eight.

And the revival salt workers gun team is holding a gun in both hands, and the long spear in the hand plus the tip of the gun is three meters long!

When the spear and shield soldiers of the Wei army were still a few steps away from the pikemen of the revival army, the spear heads of the revival army were already clearly beckoning towards their bodies.

"First row, stab to the right!"

"Wow!"

Following the officer's command, hundreds of shiny spear heads stabbed forward half a meter at the same time. Suddenly, countless screams rang out in the Wei army's camp.

"Tighten the queue and form a shield formation!" Cao Wei's Longxi Army was an old battle, and in the face of such casualties, the middle and low-level officers on the front line did not blink, and quickly made relevant responses.

Cao Wei's spear and shield soldiers, who had been in battle for a long time, quickly carried out the order, and the gap between the two soldiers that could accommodate half of their bodies quickly closed. The entire detachment of spear and shield soldiers was tightly linked by the shield in each soldier's left hand, forming an impermeable shield array.

Seeing that the enemy formed a shield formation, the front-line commanders on the side of the Revival Army smiled lightly: "The first three rows of spearmen narrowed the distance, and the first row stabbed to the right." In the second row, stab upwards. In the third row, stab downward. Shoot! ”

"Wow!"

As another copper whistle sounded, a batch of bright gun heads were revealed in the salt workers' gun array. Since this batch of guns was shot by three rows of soldiers at the same time, compared with the teeth of hundreds of fierce beasts just now, this time it was thousands of teeth of fierce beasts, and they bit down fiercely at the soldiers of the Wei army!

"Knock~~" "Knock~~" "Knock~~~" Most of the spear heads poked into the opponent's shield, making a dull thump sound.

"Ah~~~!!" The shield of Cao Wei's spear shield soldier is not a large shield that is two meters high and can effectively cover the whole body—such a large shield cannot be held and walked around with one hand. So although there are not many, there are still a few guns that poke into the body of the opposing soldier, or the head, or the foot, or the torso. As these poked soldiers fell, many small gaps suddenly appeared in the originally tightly knit shield array.

"Di~~~Didi~~Didi~~~" Seeing that the enemy's formation was scattered, the commanders of the saltworker gun formation quickly blew the copper whistle in their mouths faster. As the frequency of whistles increases, so does the frequency of gun formations.

"All the troops come forward, melee combat!" Cao Wei's commanders originally wanted to rely on the shield formation to slightly consume the opponent's sharp energy, and buy time for their own side to find a better way to deal with it. Who knew that the opponent's two rows of spearmen in the back could easily crack this shield array - the reason why the shield array was effective was because it was airtight, and if there were a few loopholes, it would soon collapse completely. In that case, don't think about confronting the other party first, just go straight to the knife.

Cao Wei's spear and shield soldiers who received the order breathed a sigh of relief: they could finally fight back freely! These fools think they are invincible just by holding a three-meter spear? When it's time for hand-to-hand combat, let you coolies who were said to have climbed up and down in the deep well a month ago see how many marksmanship we have played!

It's a pity, the idea is beautiful. The reality is brutal. Before Cao Wei's soldiers could show their picturesque marksmanship to the coolies in their eyes, they heard sounds like "puff puff" and the like. As veterans of the battle formation, they knew that it was the sound of a spear entering the flesh—and sure enough, soon after such a sound sounded, there were bursts of screams.

The former enemy commander of Cao Wei's spear and shield soldiers was Deng Ai's eldest son, Deng Zhong, and he could see clearly in the back: the spearmen of the Shu thieves were simply bad, and all the spearmen were stabbing to the right no matter where they greeted their own soldiers!

Imagine that. The spearmen of the Han army and the spearmen and shields of Cao Wei stood opposite each other. The Han spearmen stabbed at their right side with a spear in both hands – for Cao Wei's soldiers, the attack came from the right side of their body – and the vast majority of Cao Wei soldiers held a gun in their right hand and a shield in their left hand. This caused the shield in the hands of Cao Wei's soldiers to lose its effect.

Not only that, Cao Wei's soldiers wanted to stab the gun out of their right hand, and the first action they had to do was to lean back on the right side of their body, and then force forward - when the right side of the body leaned back, the soldier's chest would be wide open - it was equivalent to holding his heart and hitting the tip of the enemy's gun!

"This ...... Which master came up with this idea? Why is it so vicious! Watching the soldiers in front of him fall in rows, in the cold winter day, Deng Zhong's forehead was densely covered with large beads of sweat: "Short axe soldiers in the back row, throw axes!" ”

With Deng Zhong's order, hundreds of axes were thrown from Cao Wei's rear formation, and Shu Han's gun array suffered more casualties for the first time.

"It's time to crash, right? It's time for chaos, right? It is said that these guys were still climbing up and down the mine a month ago! I've never been on the battlefield. So many people have fallen and so much blood has been shed, you should be afraid! ”

However, the performance of the salt workers' gun formation made Deng Zhong very disappointed. He clearly saw that when he was just wounded and killed. There was indeed a wavering in the gun array on the opposite side. But with that pesky brass whistle sounded. The gun array on the opposite side returned to normal almost instantly.

The unwavering salt workers continued to advance with axes flying in the sky. As soon as the whistle blows, stab! Then, regardless of whether the target is stabbed or not, the barrel of the gun is rotated clockwise to the right for half a turn, and then the gun is collected in unison. In this process, there must have been some unlucky people who fell to the ground with an axe, but the entire gun array was still in the sound of the copper whistle, repeating those few actions that could not be simpler.

"This, where did these guys come from? They are by no means coolies! Even if it's coolie, it's not ordinary coolie! Deng Zhong's face was pale at first—the cold of winter. Then it was flushed, and now, it's gray!

Trembling Suosuo's teeth: "Giant shield!" On the Giant Shield! ”

The so-called giant shield refers to a heavy wooden shield with a height of more than two meters, a width of one meter, and a thickness of no less than 30 centimeters. The weight of this big guy is certainly not something that a soldier can easily push. Of course, it is moving very slowly. However, Cao Wei's soldiers, especially the army led by Deng Ai, were also quite elite, and before receiving the order to retreat, no matter how heavy the casualties in the front were, the soldiers in the back still went forward to fight one after another.

Finally, in the time that a large number of Cao Wei soldiers exchanged their lives for, the giant shield array of the Chinese army was finally set up.

The former enemy commanders on the middle line of the Shu Han side were Zhang Zun and Liao Yong. The mood of these two people has also undergone great changes in the past half an hour.

Guan Yi proposed the concept and training method of the salt workers' gun array, but it was Zhang Zun and Liao Yong who really put it into practice. Although in training and exercises, these two people have long experienced the strength of their own gun arrays. But after all, this was the first actual battle of the salt workers' gun formation, so at the beginning, the two of them still had no bottom in their hearts.

When the spear formation of their own side did not waver in the face of the axe blade, the two of them let out a sigh of relief, and their hearts were full of pride.

But when the other party put out the giant shield array, the two of them still felt tight.

When Zhang Zun was just about to step forward, Liao Yong grabbed him.

"Old man, you are seventy-two years old, how much strength can you have to break the formation? Or let me go, right? ”

"Hmph, you silver-like pewter head. has been in Jiangyang for so many years, and I have slept with so many women, but there is no one man and half woman...... If you have descendants, I'm too lazy to go into battle. ”

"Hey, I heard you say that, as if I was going to die if I went up......"

"Okay, I don't dare to let the Xixiang Hou family die here. Young man, in today's battle, our army will win. But this is only the first time in the thousands of battles that followed, keep your lives well, you are the hope of the great man! ”

Looking at Liao Yong's indomitable body, Zhang Zun's eyes were already moist: "Uncle Yong, take care!" ”

As Liao Yong rushed forward, in the face of the enemy's giant shield, countless shouts rang out in the salt workers' gun array, whose advance speed had weakened slightly: "Breaker, advance!" ”

"!!"
