Chapter 42: Net Breakdown 4
"Shoot!" The cavalry of the Chu army came quickly, and fifty steps was only a few breaths, and the cavalry of the Qin army ordered to shoot based on the experience of many years of fighting. In an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out, causing the Chu army's military horses to neigh.
The crossbow can only send one arrow, and after this arrow is shot, the martial knight can only pull out the sword at his waist, and he doesn't want the Chu army to come forward, so he also releases the arrow. But the Chu army used a repeating crossbow, and fired two arrows in a row between a few breaths. Although the crossbow essence is small, at this time, Chu rode in the north and Qin rode further south, the wind helped the arrows, and these two waves of arrows suddenly shot the turning Qin cavalry array. When the rider was still swinging his sword to block the arrow, there was a 'bang', and the leather armor was slashed, and before he had time to notice the injury, the war horse under his crotch was shocked, and his body couldn't help but fall backwards.
"Kill!" The cavalry rushed to each other, and the dense queue collision was unavoidable, but Fei Jing avoided the enemy cavalry that several horses were about to collide with him with his superb riding skills, and finally had to rein in his horse and raise his hooves, and the men and horses were all erected. The repeater in his hand had been dropped, and he held a cavalry knife nearly five feet long. This was given by Xiong Jing in the morning before the oath, and only dozens of people were given to accompany the guards.
Five-foot knife, sharp and strange. With a single slash, the enemy's sword broke and the armor was torn apart, and the blood flowed endlessly. Riding the horse and slashing again, it was no longer the enemy sword that was cut off, but the shoulder strap head, and the whole body was half oblique. Blood suddenly splashed onto Yan Jing's face, and the warmth almost suppressed his breathing, and just when he was stunned, under the hideous face, a sword was stabbing fiercely.
"Kill!" A rider behind him swung his sword, and the hideous face froze, and the bronze sword grazed Fu Jing's cheek, and the cold smell made him forget the warmth of blood for a moment.
"Kill!" Fu Jing, who had escaped the catastrophe, roared angrily, and swung his sword again while riding his horse, and his mount rushed past the enemy cavalry that turned to usher in him, and rushed towards the Qin army brigade that was rapidly moving westward.
The dozens of people at the forefront of the cavalry of the Chu army were all armed with cavalry swords, and even if some of the riders did not pass through the oncoming Qin cavalry, their confrontation also brought great casualties to the Qin army. Although the messy queue could not bring a rapid impact, this messiness allowed more knights of the Chu army to pass through the blocking Qin cavalry and kill the brigade heading westward at high speed.
It is an extremely painful thing for any army to be stopped from the waist and flanked, and the Chu army is even more attacked from the most lethal right flank, and the Qin army brigade heading west at high speed was suddenly in chaos, and the martial knights behind had to ride their horses and stop. The only fortunate thing is that the Qin army column is thick enough, even if it is stopped by the Chu army, and under the layers of buffers, the innermost cavalry still quickly moves westward and kills the heart of the Chu army.
The desperate impact of the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Chu army brought not only to intercept the Qin army's martial knights in the battle of Qingshuihe, because of their flank slammed, the direction of the Qin army's cavalry was subconsciously deflecting to the south, and they could have impacted the Chu army's flank and back, once it was deflected to the south, even if it was slightly deflected to the south, the target they saw and the target that attracted them the most, except for the Chu army camp was Xiang Yan's shogunate.
The outermost side of the right army was seven miles away from the Xiangyan shogunate, but only two miles away from the Chu army's camp. The wind was blowing, and the cavalry rolled up the rows of tents in the camp, cut off the flags standing on the side of the camp, and several people began to throw fires.
The camp was in chaos, although there were tens of thousands of transport guards guarding it, but the cavalry was coming quickly, and the guards were spread out everywhere, once they were killed by the cavalry, there was no way to resist it. The tent was knocked down, the military flag was cut down, and the fire began to burn, and the cavalry that did not rush into the camp went straight to the shogunate, and some of the warrior knights saw the flag and went straight to King Jing, who could be 'given the marquis'.
The enemy cavalry attacked the back, and the three armies shook! The Qin army in his pocket immediately shouted, Jing Ren was about to be defeated! Jing people are about to lose!!
"It's too late!" Xiong Jing's face was already purple, and the violent beating of his heart made him feel like his whole body was trembling. He didn't care if the soldiers of the three armies could see him, so he only jumped out of the chariot, grabbed Pan Yu with a panicked face, and said loudly to him: "Your people must protect the crossbow and the archers!" ”
He shouted twice, even twice, Pan Yu only nodded, failing to immediately understand what he meant.
"Gong Yin knife! Gong Yin knife! Xiong Jing shouted again, and Li's voice suddenly lost his voice, in fact, Gong Yin Dao was on his side, less than two steps away from him.
"Your Majesty, your ministers are here! Your Ministers Are Here! "Gong Yin Dao was frightened, not only by Qin, but also by his own king.
"What about Lux? What about fire bombs? Xiong Jing asked anxiously, he looked around, but did not see the wrestler with a fire bomb.
"Here. Hereon. Lux was also on Xiong Jing's side, and the nearest one was only five steps away from him, but they were blocked by a short hand.
"Behind me. Behind me! Xiong Jing shouted loudly, and he grabbed the general of the king's pawn again, "The king's pawn is behind the wrestler." ”
"Minister! Minister! "The training of the king pawn is naturally higher than that of the county pawn, and before a quarter of an hour of arrival, a cone-shaped formation has been lined up.
"Wait, shoot left and right! Shoot only at the enemy in front of our troops. Xiong Jing commanded the crossbow general again. The bow and arrows were too weak, and he had to rely on his crossbow to shoot away from the enemy formation and break out.
"Yui, King! Only the king! "Mourning Lu is also nervous, and he only knows Wei Wei in his mouth. In fact, at this time, only one-third of the army's crossbows were concentrated, and half of these thirds had not found the chariot, so they could not stand on it, but he forgot all about it.
"Zhao Yu, you hold the flag!" Xiong Jing got off the car, but the flag was still on the car, and someone must hold the royal flag.
"Yui!" In a hurry, Yu was given a clan by Xiong Jing, and from then on he was Zhao Yu.
"Teacher, please play the drums." Lian Po was too old to charge with the formation, so Xiong Jing could only let him beat the drum. "The crossbows and arrows shoot at the sound of the drum, and the soldiers can't stop shooting when they advance, do you know?"
Xiong Jing finally asked, and the strategy he came up with to break the enemy was to use the Jing crossbow and the Chu bow placed in a high place to implement the coordination of the crossbow, which was similar to the standard tactics of the Qin army to shoot first and then attack, but because the Jing crossbow and Chu bow were arranged on the flanks, they could shoot and advance at the same time.
"The minister knows!" Mourning Lu and Pan Yu nodded again.
"Remember, the rest of the archers need to guard the shooters, especially the crossbows." Xiong Jing pulled Pan Yu again, this is the third time to explain. After this explanation, he said: "You wait to go, and you will shoot when you hear the sound of drums." ”
The "Great King ......" flag was pulled down from the chariot, and at this time, Xiong Jing was facing a cone-shaped formation of more than 8,000 people. One person in the first row, two people in the second row, and three people in the third row...... All the way up to the 127th platoon, this is a formation of more than 8,100 people, with halberds and spears, and all kinds of weapons. They stood behind the wrestlers who were holding the fire bombs, the wrestlers were fighting behind Xiong Jing, and Xiong Jing stood behind Gong Jia after several battles, this team of seven hundred people now has only more than three hundred people left, and the last pawn Changzhuang went to his face twitching, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Is the spear enough?" Xiong Jing looked at Zhuang Quji, and at this time he didn't know that Yan, Hu and other pawns had died in battle.
"Enough spears!" Zhuang nodded solemnly. He faced Xiong Jing, and the Qin army armor behind him was already agitated.
"Five pawns in a column, forming a conical formation." Xiong Jing commanded. "There's no need to run, I'll wait for my time. Also, when Lux throws fire bombs, he must crack the formation and give way to the passage......" The hooves of the Qin cavalry shook the earth, and Zhuang Qujian couldn't help but look over.
"Don't look at it! Listen to me! Xiong Jing shouted angrily, "When Lux throws bombs, he must split the formation and give up ......"
"When Lux throws firebombs, he must crack the formation, give way to the road, and protect Lux after throwing. And the spear array should not rush but advance slowly, five people in a column, forming a conical formation. The end will be known! Zhuang went to repeat quickly. He is not a fool, and Xiong Jing's intentions are clear to him at a glance.
"Hurry up!" Xiong Jing waved his hand, turned to look at Lian Po, who had a flying beard on the chariot, and signaled that he could start beating the drums.
'Boom! Knock knock ...... 'There are drums on the cart. The drum is strung on a long wooden pole, and there is a drum seat in the shape of a hunting dog underneath, and it is decorated with arrow-like feathers. The drumsticks struck and the entire wooden pole shook.
"Put!" The drums sounded, and the crossbows that had been moved to the cart on the left and right sides began to crossbowmen. Although it was an oblique shot, the distance was less than fifty steps, and as soon as the Qin army soldiers who were about to advance stepped forward, they were pierced by a crossbow arrow more than two meters long.
The crossbows shot angrily, and the archers standing on the high places also began to shoot, and the archers on both sides were less than a thousand, but the rain of arrows was still so dense that the arrows collided with each other. The arrow is a light arrow, although the distance of fifty steps is not enough to kill, but it is enough to break the armor, the front row of the Qin army Rui Shi suddenly became a hedgehog, and some of the arrows in the face of the door were even hit the ground on the spot.
"Put!" The crossbow is still shooting, every time an arrow is released, several Qin army sharps are pierced, one of the tallest sharps is hit by an arrow in the head, the body is too heavy to be dragged by the arrow, so that the skull is half removed, and the white brain pulp bursts out, which is terrifying to see.
"Forward!" After the death of the king, several fireworks had been raised in the Chu army camp, and the knights rushed to the Xiang Yan shogunate, and Xiong Jing, who was standing behind the palace armor spear array, didn't want to wait any longer, drew his sword and shouted forward. Forward, only by moving forward can we win.
"Enter!" Zhuang Qujian is still a habitual single word, not a compound word after 2,000 years. Lined up in the front row, he laid his raised spear flat, its trembling head still stained with blood. He strode forward, and the entire spear array also strode forward. At this time, the Qin army's sharp soldiers were holding shields to block arrows, and they couldn't see the advancing spears at all.
"Enter!" Zhuang went to shout again, and the spear in his hand pierced the shield full of arrows, and as soon as the shield was gone, the Qin army armor who was drowned by the rain of arrows shouted. They saw that the Chu army was attacking, but they couldn't fight back under the arrows, so they could only dance their blades to block the arrows, and at the same time staggered back.
The arrows and crossbows are arranged at the height of the flanks, and the foot soldiers slowly advance under the crossfire, which is the coordination of the crossbows in Xiong Jing's mouth. This was the simplest heavy machine gun tactic for later generations, but more than 2,000 years ago, who knew what a heavy machine gun was?
"Ignition! The spear array gives way, and the wrestler throws the bomb! Xiong Jing was short, but from the gap in the spear array, he could still see that the Qin army armor was powerless to fight back. In that case, let's try the man-throwing tactics again.
