205 Attack Camp Five
The officers in Yuan Shao's army stared at the strict troops of the Qingzhou army, seeing that they were approaching their own firing range. Then, without stopping, he rushed forward.
"Archers ready...... Shoot the arrows! ”
The officer in Yuan Shao's army gave a loud order. I heard a "bang!" Bang! Bang! With the sound of the bowstring, countless feather arrows flew out and rushed straight towards the brigade of the Qingzhou Army!
Zhang Fei saw that Yuan Shaojun did not dare to go out of the camp to fight, so he adjusted the queue long before the brigade pounced forward. Six thousand soldiers, all in front are sword and shield soldiers, pikemen in the middle, and finally archers. The sword and shield soldiers who walked in the first row of the team were shielded in front of them with shields to defend against arrows flying from the front. The sword and shield soldiers behind them raised their shields above their heads to block the arrows falling from the sky.
At this time, I saw the inconvenience of the camp. The entire camp needs to be defended, although it can also be deployed according to the enemy's arrangement of troops to defend key areas, but after all, all the troops cannot be concentrated, which gives the Qingzhou army the opportunity to fight more and less.
However, the infantry of the Qingzhou Army was too dense, almost to the point of shoulder-to-shoulder, hand in hand, and the shields were not large enough to cover them all.
Therefore, a rain of arrows went down, and many people were suddenly hit by arrows.
It's just that the soldiers in the front of the Qingzhou army, everyone is wearing iron armor, and they protect their heads and faces with shields, and they are shot by arrows, but they just stir up a spark. A large part of these iron armors were brought by Liu Bei when he was in Luoyang, and Liu Bei occupied many iron smelting centers in Qingzhou, and resumed production early, so he naturally would not be stingy with his subordinates equipped with iron armor and weapons.
If it weren't for this kind of protection, Lejin's several attacks, in front of the strong crossbow shots under the command of Lu Yi, would have killed and injured countless people.
"Kill! Fight the enemy! Kill ......"
The shouting became louder all of a sudden, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were still a little scared when they saw the rain of arrows falling on them, but when they saw that Yuan Shaojun's bow and arrows on the opposite side could not break through their iron armor, their courage suddenly doubled, and even the shouts became louder.
The pikemen who followed the sword and shield soldiers saw that they had entered the range of Yuan Shaojun's archers, and each of them held up a bag of earth to shield the arrows that might fly.
Then the archers followed.
Seeing that the archers also entered the firing range, Zhang Fei gave a loud order, ordering the archers to stop advancing and start throwing feather arrows towards Yuan Shaojun's camp.
This rain of arrows can be seen in Yuan Shao's military camp just now, and the arrows are much denser. And the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command did not have enough armor to protect themselves, so they were naturally shot down, and bursts of screams sounded, which made Yuan Shaojun's morale, which was not very high, fall a few points further.
A full 2,000 iron-clad sword and shield soldiers and 2,000 pikemen lined up in a neat line, and under the cover of archers, approached Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao's military camp will naturally not be the same as the newly built small village in Luyi, and outside the military camp, there are also trenches to block the enemy army. However, these trenches were not very deep and narrow, and the sword and shield hands in front held shields to block the feathered arrows shot from Yuan Shao's military camp, and the pikemen in the back easily filled a section of them with earthen bags. When this trench was filled, the Qingzhou army shouted again and attacked the battalion.
Looking at the thousands of Qingzhou troops, as if they were pressed by Mount Tai, several officers in Yuan Shao's army knew that they could not hold it alone. Hurriedly sent people to ask Yuan Shao's Chinese army for help, and ordered loudly, ordering the archers to continue to shoot arrows at the Qingzhou army in front, and the other foot soldiers moved forward with swords and guns, trying to stop the Qingzhou army from advancing.
Spears and spears protruded from the camp, and some archers were still desperately firing feathered arrows. And the archers in the Qingzhou army have also advanced to a place very close to Yuan Shao's camp, and a rain of arrows shot towards the camp, suppressing the bows and arrows in Yuan Shao's army.
At this moment, the drumming in the Qingzhou army changed, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in front of them immediately split to both sides when they heard it. Then, dozens of blindfolded war horses were led out, and then the knight on the horse stabbed the horse's buttocks.
The war horse neighed, rushed forward in a frenzy, and then hit the fence of the camp directly with the men and horses.
As early as after the Qingzhou army filled in the trenches, the officers in the camp transferred spearmen to the front and put the spears in the fence to prevent the enemy from attacking. Who knew that the Qingzhou Army was so desperate to attack the camp with dead soldiers.
Although these people were either stabbed to death with spears, or were stabbed to death on the spot with men and horses, they had already relied on the impact of their horses to knock a large gap into the camp wall of Yuan Shao's camp.
Seeing these dead soldiers, the gap was opened, and the archers on their side suppressed the bows and arrows in Yuan Shao's army. In the Qingzhou army, the sword and shield phalanx, which was originally at the forefront, immediately rushed forward, and without even looking at the spears and spears on the camp, they slammed into the camp.
These sword and shield soldiers, with all their strength, raised the shields in their hands, and slammed into the chaotic military formation in Yuan Shao's army in front of them, and then pushed hard. It's not one person pushing, it's a group of people pushing hard together.
Not only that, but the pikemen behind lined up in the open space pushed out by the sword and shield soldiers, and simply sorted out the formation, and the pikemen killed them again.
A full ten captains of spearmen formed a square of two hundred men, each of which was a horizontal row of fifty men, arranged in four rows, and then there was a round of assault.
"Kill! The slogan of "kill the enemy ......" sounded, and the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army shouted slogans at the same time, just like in the previous exercises, and everyone stabbed the spears in their hands with all their might. A full two hundred spears stretched out at the same time, and then stabbed all the enemies who dared to stand in their way.
The barrel of the gun spun through the wound for a moment, then pulled out with force, and the blood spurted out violently, sprinkling the front spearman with blood all over his face.
No one wiped it, and then shouted slogans, spear in hand, and lunged forward again. The sword and shield men followed behind them, mending their swords for the pikemen, as well as preventing anyone from attacking the pikemen's flanks.
When the first captain of the spearmen could not rush, or the formation was scattered, the second team continued to assault, and the ten captain spearmen, that is, ten rounds of assault, were in the camp of Yuan Shao, killing one person on his back.
Yuan Shaojun, who was still resisting, was directly collapsed by this round of assault by the pikemen, and fled in all directions......
At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, after Zhang Fei attacked, Liu Bei also led more than 6,000 soldiers to the same formation and rushed towards Yuan Shao's right battalion.
However, although Liu Bei led as many men and horses as Zhang Fei, the banners were several times more than Zhang Fei's. In fact, this is bluffing, making people think that Liu Bei is the main force.
