These rough and savage Qiang warriors were greeted by the crossbow arrows fired by the Han army, and with the charge of the Liangzhou rebels, the first Han army to bear the brunt of the attack was standing still, they were the elite of the whole army's selected strength, and there was nothing on the battlefield that could shake them except for the sound of their own golden drums. After calmly observing the rebels entering the firing range, one of the leading soldiers shouted, and the long-awaited soldiers pulled the trigger one after another.
Within two hundred paces, Zhang Shi sent out the first round of shooting, and the rebels who charged in front suddenly fell a large piece, the strong crossbow of the Han army was not in vain, and the mistake of the former Han Dynasty was in the cloud of "Words and Soldiers": "The crossbow cannot be far away, and the short soldiers are the same; If you can't shoot, it's the same as no arrow; You can't enter in the middle, and it's the same as Wuyi", so the strong crossbows of the Han army, which attaches great importance to range and power, have always been able to shoot 300 paces away, and can pierce armor within 150 steps.
But the ferocious crossbow arrows did not frighten the Qiang warriors, the increasingly strong smell of blood stimulated them to scream, the short-distance sprinters on the battlefield were obviously more flexible and fickle than livestock, and at the same time as the fourth wave of crossbow arrows were shot by the Qiang soldiers, the short spears and flying axes of the Qiang soldiers were also connected, and the unarmored Zhang Shi was also hit at once, killing and wounding more than a dozen people.
The advances of the two armies soon collided, and the Han army still retreated with crossbowmen and spears. The Qiang people, who had suffered heavy casualties due to the rain of arrows, rushed to the spear formation, like waves crashing on the reef on the shore, the Han army stood still, and the Qiang soldiers turned into several small waves and disappeared.
But there were more Liangzhou soldiers rushing up, the first batch of coalition soldiers were stabbed to death by dense spears, and the second batch of soldiers were made up one after another, and to the third group of coalition soldiers, with the cover of the front soldiers, some of them raised their long knives and heavy axes to cut at the spear shaft, some used spears to stab the Han army, some advanced to the spear formation with the corpses of the soldiers in front, and some were not afraid of death and directly flew into the air, and smashed a gap in the spear array with their bodies······
The spear formation of the Han army was suppressed by the fighting style of the coalition soldiers who exchanged their lives for their lives, and the front row of the position was also loosened. The ring sword officer behind the spear formation responded in time, and sent the ring sword warriors of the Han army to rush over to fight some of the coalition soldiers who broke through the spear formation, and the spearmen behind also quickly moved forward to fill the gap.
The spears stabbed out in rows again, and the sharp blades pierced through the bodies of the coalition fighters one after another, and some spears pierced through the two men. The spearmen of the Han army who stabilized their positions were unforgiving, relying on a favorable formation, and the comrades around them coordinated to assassinate repeatedly, they were all soldiers in the Han army who had gone through many battles, and although they faced the fierce and savage coalition soldiers at this time, they still responded calmly and fought with the swarming coalition soldiers.
At this time, the two wings of the coalition army also sounded the horn of marching at the same time, and at the sound of the horn, the coalition soldiers and horses on the left and right wings also advanced. Among them, the left flank where Yan Xing was located was hindered by the tidal flats that prevented the cavalry from galloping in a roundabout way, so Wang Fan ordered 10,000 forward infantry to advance quickly, leaving only 5,000 cavalry to press the formation behind. Yan Xing kept an eye on it, before he took his own foot soldiers and horses into the advancing flow of people, he had already sent Gan Ling with more than a dozen cavalry to retreat to the rear while the men and horses were in chaos, his order to Gan Ling was very simple, that is, to follow Han Chang who was pressing the formation behind, and pay close attention to the movement of the right wing, Yan Xing knew very well that although the Chinese soldiers and horses in the kingdom were aggressive, but the follow-up troops were insufficient, it was difficult to open the situation in the front, and only the right wing with the strongest soldiers and horses could be the winner or loser in this battle.
At this time, the right wing has also begun to march together, the infantry under the command of Han Sui is also mostly spearmen, and the cavalry is mainly mixed Qianghu cavalry, their side has the most troops, and the Han army is also the most, most of the cavalry of the Han army is arranged on the left flank to fight against Han Sui's soldiers and horses, Huangfu Jianshou personally took the Han cavalry and the Qianghu cavalry who were ready to detour back to the flank, and the two cavalry units rushed back and forth on the periphery of the front to kill, resisting and fighting.
As the fighting between the two armies became extremely fierce, the figures of soldiers on both sides and the corpses of those killed could be seen everywhere on the ten-mile front. Although the soldiers of the coalition army were fierce and continued to attack the Han army's front, they achieved few results, just like the raging waves of the angry sea continuously hitting the reef of the coastline, the momentum was shocking, but they could not move the position of the rock for a single point.
In addition to the Chinese army that supervised the war in the kingdom had already penetrated into the front line of the Han army, the coalition soldiers on the left flank encountered the Han army retreating to the right flank, and the dense crossbow arrows like flying locusts caused heavy casualties to the allied infantry advancing with terrain restrictions, and the Han Sui men and horses on the right flank were also fighting fiercely with the Han army, and there was no progress for the time being.
Wang Guo's eyebrows, who were looking forward to the whole battle situation on the horse, were already twisted together, he didn't expect that most of the coalition troops and horses had been invested, and the Han army would still be able to stabilize the front, and even in the left flank position, due to the terrain restrictions, the soldiers of the coalition army were still at a disadvantage in the engagement.
At this time, he was anxious, "Husband fights, courage also." One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", he is using the heart of the low-level soldiers to return home to drive them to fight, at the beginning of the natural vigor is a hundred times stronger, unstoppable, but if the battle situation is as stalemate as now, the Liangzhou soldiers who have exhausted the momentum of the charge will be easily pushed back by the soldiers and horses of the Han army, and then with the unfavorable situation of the war, their morale will drop to a low point again, and at that time it will be really a global collapse, and the sky will be weak.
The kingdom gritted his teeth, and now he didn't pray to be able to defeat the Han army, only by forcing Huangfu Song to invest all his forces, causing a stalemate between the two sides, could he ensure that the Han army would not have enough fresh troops to pursue him after the retreat of the army.
He ordered that the left and right flanks of the coalition army were all pressed up. The next moment, the horn of the all-out march and joint attack sounded around the Chinese army of the coalition army, and at the same time, the Lingcai who urged the two wings to accelerate the attack was also constantly sent from the Chinese army, and the bloodshot eyes of the kingdom looked at the right wing, and the eyes crossed over to the galloping men and horses, staring at the position of the right wing under the banner of Han Sui, he must see all the men and horses on the right wing pressed before he could make up his mind to make a desperate bet and personally lead the remaining Chinese soldiers and horses to put into the frontal front.
The horn in response to the all-out march of the Chinese army was the first to sound from the left flank, and Wang Fan, who had been unable to open the situation for a long time, was so nervous that he bit his lip and didn't know. When he heard the horn of the all-out march of the Chinese army, his blood and qi surged, and he dragged off the shackle on his head with one hand and threw it to the ground, shouting in a heart-splitting voice:
"The soldiers of Liangzhou, the warriors of the front army, the decisive moment has come, the brothers in front have already restrained most of the enemy, now it is time to let the enemy know that our Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful, kill it with me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill, kill, kill—"
