Chapter 34: The Sound of the Gong 3

There was a fierce battle on all fronts, but concentrated forces to attack one point. Shooting crossbows, sharp soldiers followed closely to break the formation, this is the standard tactic of the Qin army. After five shots, the sharp soldiers in front of the crossbow array immediately lined up in a military formation ten lines deep and marched forward with beryllium. Even if there was a shield in the front row of the Chu army, it was damaged by crossbow arrows and people were wounded. As soon as the long beryllium hand came up, he smashed all the shields to clear the way for the next shot.

Only the spear array only has a small shield, and the palace armor holding the spear in the front row is full of crossbow arrows, but it stands still against the spear that reaches the ground. When the sharp soldiers rushed over, the palace armor in the back row raised the spears that reached the ground, and they fell to the ground majestically.

"Kill!" The sharps with beryllium, the palace armor with spears, all drank wildly.

Standing in the front were the chief and the chief. The pawn commander and the chief were all killed by crossbow arrows, and the palace armor of the rear column was already holding his breath and waiting for the sharp soldiers to come. Before Ruishi's long beryllium touched the spear, the palace armor holding the spear high rushed out, this was not a desperate resistance, this was an angry counterattack!

"Kill!" Seventy columns of spearmen counterattacked, and before the sharp soldiers in the front row could swing their beryllium, they were stabbed by the sharp spearhead, and the two layers of leather armor could not block the iron spearhead that was twice as hard as bronze, and they were instantly pierced. When charging, there was no gap and space to draw the spear, and the spear was stabbed back, and the bloody spearhead continued to rush to the back row of sharps.

Holding a long soldier in his hand is not good for blocking, the advancing front row of friendly soldiers suddenly stabbed out of a bloody spearhead, the distance is so short, no one can guard against it, the second row of sharps is either dead or wounded, but alert to the third row of sharps has been avoided, and the spearhead that pierced through the body again was pierced into the air, but the second row of spears arrived, and the side of the queue of sharps was immediately killed.

In ancient and modern times, spears and guns are recognized as the king of a hundred soldiers. Any blade meets a spear, and the momentum will always be crushed by three points. Slender, sharp, and stoic, once you hit forward, any formation is unstoppable. Even the heavy cavalry, which was fully equipped and as heavy as a hill after a few hundred years, did not dare to rush straight into the spear array, but waited for cracks in the spear array and gaps in the array before daring to attack the spear array in a forty-five-degree diagonal, which was brave; Those who are obscene can take advantage of the inconvenience of the spear formation to attack the sides and the back of the formation.

The beryllium of the Qin army's sharp soldiers is similar to a spear, but military laws always show that any general-purpose weapon is always inferior to a special-purpose weapon. Beryllium that can slash and stab is completely inferior to a spear that can only stab forward in terms of impact. This is not because of the difference in length between the two sides, but in the mentality of holding soldiers. The furious palace armor rushed forward, and there was nothing else, and the spear stabbed into the enemy's body and could not pull it out, so they drew their cavalry swords and rushed forward to kill the enemy. In the heart-rending shout, one by one, the palace armor abandoned their spears and drew their knives, and rows of sharp soldiers fell to the ground with spears.

'You can't win by killing the enemy, but you can win by moving forward.' This is the most important sentence that Lian Po, who has been fighting horses all his life, said to Xiong Jing on the long journey from Yingdu to Xixian County. The words are very short, only ten words, but they exhaust the true meaning that countless soldiers have tried to express but have not been able to express.

The two armies fought not on soldiers, but on arrays. Killing soldiers can weaken the enemy, but it won't collapse the enemy's array. Rather than seeking to kill the enemy, it is better to let the army advance towards the enemy with perseverance and determination. Forward, and only forward, can we collide, push, squeeze...... Compress the enemy's space for movement and contribute to the collapse of the enemy's formation.

The spear array is advancing, unswervingly advancing. When the front entered the seventh column of the Rui Shi formation, the back row of Rui Shi involuntarily avoided the already crazy palace armor. One person avoided, ten people avoided, and a hundred people avoided, and under ......the avalanche effect, the army collapsed.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "The Chu army, which was shot by the Qin army and couldn't raise its head, and the Chu army, which was smashed by the sharp warrior with a beryllium slash, saw that the Rui array was actually broken by their own army, and immediately shouted Long live. With this shout, they also rushed to the sharp soldiers in front of the formation, although the halberd and spear were short, but they completely ignored the impact of their lives, and immediately let the sharp soldiers retreat again and again, retreating to the end, and some of the most advanced Chu soldiers actually rushed into the crossbow formation.

In order to achieve the best shooting effect, the crossbow array was arrayed less than thirty steps away from the front of the Chu army, and at this time, the Chu army suddenly rushed in, and the crossbowmen were simply caught off guard. A sharpman in double armor is difficult to kill, but a crossbowman who has no long soldiers and has no time to draw his sword is easy to kill. For a time, the ghosts cried wolves in the crossbow array, and the crossbowmen fled in all directions.

"Not good!" Meng Wu, the main general of more than 300 steps behind, immediately shouted. This time, the Qin army had already drawn up a strategy for the breakthrough of the Chinese army, which was to divide the depth of the left and right armies into 20 lines and the Chinese army into 40 lines. The forty marching formation was not shallow, but in order to break through the sanitation of the Chu army at the flag, the Chinese army actually gave way to the position, so that the crossbow could be deployed in front.

The crossbowmen can't fight in close combat, but the sharps in front of the formation are unstoppable, but who would have expected that the sharps array actually collapsed!

The five hundred main witnesses at the rear of the array immediately dispatched the armor soldiers on both sides to make up for it, and the officers at the collapse of the formation discharged a sparse column, and shouted while slashing and killing the retreating sharp soldiers and crossbowmen, ordering them to turn around immediately to block the enemy.

The battlefield was dusty and the shouts were shocking, and it was impossible to judge whether the Chu army could break through the array, so Meng Wu had to take out the talisman with body temperature, and said loudly to the military officials: "The rear army is quickly reinforced!" Rapid reinforcements of the rear army! Don't let the Jing people break the formation"

"Hey!" The officer took the warm talisman with both hands, shouting and running to deliver the order.

Listening to the shouts of the military officials, Li Xin on the carriage was slightly anxious. In his heart, he was opposed to the breakthrough of the Chinese army, believing that he should attack from both flanks as before. However, once the formation map is issued, it will not be changed, and then the battle award map will not be changed.

Now it's good, the Chinese army didn't attack it, but was killed by the Jing people. The rear army, which should have been engaged in pursuit after breaking the formation, had to join the military formation at this time to prevent the Jing people from killing.

"It's really barbaric." After receiving the order, the rear army rushed to the battlefield, and the car right beside Li Xin said a word.

"What do you say?" Li Xin didn't really hear it, so he asked.

"General, the villain said: It is indeed Jing Man." Che You is a maker, he is older than Li Xin, with a beard, a typical old Qin appearance. Because it is a personal follower, it wears a double crown and does not wear a leather jacket. "The villain heard that the Jing people are the most brutal, if they are crazy, one husband, ten people can't stop them."

What kind of temperament Li Xin didn't know what kind of temperament the Jing people had, looking at the rear army array running forward, Li Xin subconsciously explained: "The general has disturbed the Jing people, and he has taken Jiangyi, cutting off the back road of his grain, all of which are to frustrate the spirit of the Jing people. ”

"Ran Jing Ren ...... "What his army has done in the past few days, Che You may or may not know, but he still wonders why the Jing people, who should have been pressed and beaten, are so tenacious. He also saw the collapse of Ruishi, which was something that had never happened in the face of Zhao Jun.

"Jing people's morale is like this, it's all in King Jing." After Li Xin finished speaking, he felt that he didn't need to explain the matter of the battlefield to a personal entourage, his tone changed, and his words warned coldly: "How about Jing people, you can't say more, otherwise whoever sues you for disturbing the morale of the army, and the head of the public will die unjustly." ”

Li Xin was usually kind, but his warning still made the right vest of the car sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Villain remember, villain remember, don't dare to say more about how Jing Ren is." ”

Li Xin no longer looked at him, and only stood up to look at the Chu army's military formation. Except for the fire-throwing weapons that threw fire bombs from time to time, and the crossbow that pierced several people with one arrow, the military flag of the Chu army was mixed with the banner of the Qin army, and the two armies were fighting in the array of the Qin army. The former of the military flag had reached the rear of the crossbow array, and it seemed that the barely maintained array was about to be broken.

Nearly 30,000 rear troops poured out of the nest, and the dust raised when they advanced actually made the Chu army on the nest car count the number of people. In the end, Xiang Yan had to climb high and look far away to determine the number of reinforcements in the rear army of the Qin army. But the dust was too thick, and he could only see a military formation about a thousand columns wide rushing towards him, and he couldn't tell how many people there were. Moreover, he was not clear about how many rear troops the Qin army generally had in hand, nor was he clear about the combat style of the Mengwu.

"Where is General Lian?" There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, he suddenly remembered Lian Po at this time.

"Old General Lian?" Peng Zong looked at him in surprise. "Isn't General Lian with the king?"

"On that car?" Xiang Yan looked at the car with the flag planted. The Chinese army counterattacked, and the flown chariots also moved forward. In the eyes of the generals of the whole army, that chariot already represents the king.

"Exactly." Peng Zong replied, pointing ahead again. "General, the rear army of the Qin army is reinforced, and our army should retreat."

A counter-charge without reserves must not go too far, not to mention the fact that the enemy forces are being reinforced in large numbers. It's not that Xiang Yan doesn't understand this truth, it's just that if he retreats a moment later, he can kill a few more Qin people, and he finally rushed back, how could he retreat immediately? Only when the Qin reinforcements came up would the gong ordering the Chinese army to retreat be sounded.

"Teacher thinks that our army should withdraw at this time?" Lian Po was also on the chariot, and he preferred to stand close to the military formation and watch the battle rather than in the rear army. The spear array counterattacked and crushed the sharp soldiers, and the Chu army entered the crossbow array, which in Xiong Jing's opinion was the moment of great killing.

"The king thinks it is not appropriate to withdraw?" Lian Po asked with a smile, he liked to listen to Xiong Jing say his opinions.

"If our army is thrown into Youque, it may be able to break the formation of the Qin army." Xiong Jing was watching the battlefield, and when he rushed forward, he was extremely excited, as if he was rushing to the front.

"Investing in Youque can only break through the Qin army's military formation, but how can our army open its mouth and roll back the formation?" Lian Po still asked rhetorically.

"The left and right armies are redundant, and the left and right armies can be pumped into the middle army, expand the breach, and counterattack the rear of the formation." Xiong Jing thought about it before saying, this is no longer 'fighting side by side', but taking a lesson in the art of war.

"No, no." Lian Po stroked his beard and smiled, he found the hidden logic in Xiong Jing's thoughts. "A battle is like a game of chess, and you can't regret it. But the king wants to move the fallen son to another place, but he can't. ”

"Why not?" Xiong Jing asked. It seemed like a no-brainer to him. If the Chinese army can break through the Qin army's array, the queue of the left and right armies with a thickness of 70 lines is useless, so why not transfer to the Chinese army to pursue the Qin army?
