"Isn't it? Can you still pull it over after the camp is bombed? ”

On a makeshift tower in the rear of the Han army, Guan Yi could see the scene inside the Jin army's Dazhai clearly.

When the first two rounds of stone bullets on this side landed, a large number of Jin army recruits who had never experienced the battle were extremely panicked and quickly bombed the camp. But at this moment, Wang Jun handled it properly, Pang Ding charged desperately, and more middle and low-level officers of the Jin army desperately pressed it. The Jin army miraculously restored order.

However, Guan Da Sima was not the slightest bit depressed.

"Hehehe, it's okay, the enemy army has lost its camp defense and has to come out to fight our army. I don't want to use the spearmen in the interior of the barracks...... Just let that Wang Shizhi see my new gun formation for someone. Herald! The trebuchets were all burned, and the spearmen and crossbowmen took sixty steps back, and then changed formations! ”

"Whoa!"

Just after the Han army ignited its own trebuchet, Wang Jun breathed a long sigh of relief: It seems that the Han army also wants to fight in the field. Very good, just now the enemy was too close to the camp, and the army could not set up a formation. Now the Han army took the initiative to give up space. Then, our army will also go out and line up.

What the? You said that you would take this opportunity to strengthen the camp and hold on to it? There is no such option - the back village is a big lake, even if you burn all the boats, at night, these timid recruits will not swim and escape? They don't need to swim across the entire lake for dozens of miles, they just need to swim out for a distance and find a random shore to go up.

So, while it's daytime, I can still press the soldiers to fight. Otherwise, in the evening, the team will be reduced by a lot of people.

And what about Guan Yi? Well, Da Sima will block Wang Jun's intelligence line, but his connection with Jiexiu City has also been cut off by Du Pre. So, he didn't know what happened to Jiexiu at this time. Therefore, he was also in a hurry to get rid of Wang Jun here, and then led a large army to rescue Jiexiu.

As a result, with the reluctance or reluctance of the commanders of both sides, the two armies finally chose to fight in the field.

The ignited trebuchets were like dozens of huge torches, which collapsed after a quarter of an hour of blazing fire, and then quickly extinguished. When the smoke cleared, the military columns of both sides were clearly displayed in front of and behind the opposing side, and the commanders of both sides couldn't help but widen their eyes.

In the eyes of Jiang Su, the former finger of the Han army, the Jin army on the other side is, uh, very familiar.

The front line of the other side is all pikemen. Not to mention a three-meter-long spear per person, every three rows of gunners were closely arranged, and the distance between the fourth row of gunners and the third row was significantly longer. And between the gunners in the same row, there is a distance of about half a meter between each other - isn't this the large array of spearmen in Shu Han before.

Then on the flank of the battle line, there were sword and shield soldiers—this was the standard configuration of the Shu Han pikemen in the past: covering the flanks of the spear formation.

As for the rear of the Jin army's large array, of course, it was cavalry.

"Poof~~" Although it was a battlefield of slaughter, Jiang Su couldn't help laughing, but he quickly reacted and quickly tightened his face: "It's all here, each formation leader, blow the whistle, forward!" ”

With Jiang Su's order, the Han army's spearmen array was fully unfolded, revealing its hideous side.

"Hiss~~ This Shu thief's spearman, why is the formation different from before?"

"That's not all, envoy, the armor of this Shu thief ......"

Yes, Guan Yi's current army has a total of 40,000 people. Twenty thousand of them were spearmen, and they were pikemen armed with plate armor.

Not only that, because after taking Yongliang, the country's strength was significantly enhanced, and Guan Yi began to upgrade the spearman array: from a solid spearman array to a hollow spearman array.

Now, the 20,000 spearmen of the Han army directly set up twenty hollow phalanxes. Each phalanx had a thousand men, and these thousand men formed a hollow square, and on each side there were two hundred and fifty gunners in five rows, facing four directions - the problem of weak defense on the flanks of the solid pikemen formation was effectively solved.

In the center of this gun formation, there were a hundred archers, who were responsible for carrying out long-range output.

As soon as the two sides fought, the screams of one after another were densely filled in the air, but in general, in this scream, the voice of the Jin army accounted for at least ninety percent.

Both sides were three-meter long spears, and they both stabbed to the right in unison with the sound of the copper whistle. Although the recruits of the Jin army behaved very badly when the Han army attacked with stone bullets just now. But that was the first time the recruits were faced with actual combat, and there was panic without effective organization. And when they held the spears, mechanically followed the previous training, numbly following the brass whistle, although their performance was not amazing, but basically normal. The gunners in the first row, in fact, shot many times and stabbed the Han troops on the opposite side.

However, what made the soldiers of the Jin army helpless: the enemy's armor was so good that they couldn't break it!

Of course, it is not correct to say that the armor cannot be pierced at all, the main problem is that the gun is three meters long, and the soldiers have to hold the gun in both hands to stab it hard. Even so, because the body of the spear is too long, in fact, when the spear is pierced, the tip of the spear always shakes up and down. If the tip of the spear meets the scales, it is basically not a problem - the gap between the armor pieces is the best place for the tip of the gun to penetrate. However, when facing the Han soldiers wearing plate armor, the tip of the Jin army's spear stabbed the opponent, but as long as the opponent turned slightly sideways, the long tip of the spear was cut out.

In fact, in the historical plane, it is precisely because of the advancement of armor technology that has led to the birth of blunt weapons such as maces - if you can't effectively break through armor anyway, then it is better to shatter your internal organs purely with blunt force.

It's a pity that now the plate armor has appeared ahead of time and space, and the Jin army certainly didn't think of using blunt weapons. As a result, the first round of stabbing between the two sides, the Jin army suffered a big loss.

Of course, the middle and lower-ranking officers of the Jin army were generally good, and the commander-in-chief of the rear did not give new orders, and the officers continued to blow the brass whistle and command their troops to continue to stab forward.

However, after the new confrontation began, the Jin army encountered another problem: the Han army was a hollow phalanx, and the archers in the phalanx kept firing, causing casualties among their own soldiers and an unstable front. There is also a bigger problem: there are obvious gaps and gaps between the gun arrays on the Han army's side. In other words, there was always a part of the Jin army spearmen who had no enemy in front of them. And this part of the Jin army soldiers unconsciously jumped out of their own line and ran to the front. Gradually, the front line of the Jin army changed from a relatively neat straight line at the beginning to countless "convex" characters.

This is not only a problem of untidy battle lines, but the Jin army spearmen who consciously or unconsciously squeezed into the middle of the two Han army's hollow gun formations were invariably attacked from the left and right sides at the same time - the Han army's gun arrays can bite people on all sides!

The stabbing between the two sides lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and when each other fired no more than fifty shots, the suspense of victory or defeat was lost!

"The sword and shield soldiers rushed forward and outflanked the Shu thieves and spearmen!"

At the back of the battle array, Wang Jun lowered his head and pondered, while Pang Ding, who was next to him, ordered loudly and hoarsely.

"Hey, this Pang family, are you still thinking about turning the tables like this? What's the use of sending sword and shield soldiers to outflank the opponent's flank? Well, but this hollow phalanx, hey! It's funny. ”

"Envoy, the battle situation is tight, what should I do?" An anxious voice broke Wang Jun's contemplation, and when he looked up, Pang Ding was already angry, and his eyes were red.

"Well, General Pang, the enemy's armor is strong, and it is indeed difficult for our army to fight the enemy. Hey, I just don't know when the reinforcements from the young master's side will arrive. ”

"Listening to the envoy's words, is there nothing you can do?"

"There is no good way, if you want to turn the tide of the war, you can only survive at this moment. Send out a cavalry charge to see if you can save one or two. ”

"Good, the last general is waiting for the envoy's words!" Pang Ding clapped his hands fiercely: "Envoy, the last general will watch the score in the rear formation, there are very few horses in the Shu thief array, and I think its cavalry is entangled in the West River by Liu Yuanhai." And our army now has 3,000 cavalry, desperately attacking, but it is impossible to turn defeat into victory! ”

"General Pang is magnificent! In this case, please general! Please don't force the general, if you can't do anything, turn around in time! ”

"Otherwise, my father and brother died at the hands of the Guan family, today's battle, it is rare that Guan Yi Xiao'er is opposite, I vow to behead his father and brother. Please also order the brethren of the infantry to hold on for a little longer, for it will take a little time for the last general to lead the cavalry around from the flank. ”

"Good, please rest assured General Pang, Jun will stick to this place and wait for the general's good news!"
