Du Guoliang never dreamed that the enemy with a bow and arrow would turn into a pikeman, and he would rush towards him with a roar!

What can I do?

His superiors didn't give him much time to think nonsense, and the shrill whistle and the shouts of the officers rang out. Du Guoliang and his comrades-in-arms had already been trained to have a conditioned reflex, and subconsciously lifted the crossbow machine that had already been on the cluster of arrows, put the crossbow holder on the shoulder, and aimed the crossbow head at the enemy who was pounced on him. The crossbowmen of the second row also mounted the crossbow racks on the shoulders of the fighters of the first row. The third and fourth rows are on standby with crossbows.

Now the tactics of the Republican crossbowmen have changed a bit, from the earliest three-row stacked fire, to the current two-row stacked fire. A crossbowmen squad is equipped with four gangs (30 men each) and can list four rows of horizontal columns. This allows you to shoot in two rounds. After the first and second rows are shot, when bending down to wind up, the third and fourth rows are stacked. Then it was the turn of the first and second rows to shoot.

This will allow you to unleash constant fire with crossbowmen arranged in four rows!

Two more short, rapid whistles sounded, the command to fire crossbow arrows. Du Guoliang had already aimed the crossbow at a group of figures twenty or thirty steps away, and now when he heard the order, he pressed the trigger without hesitation. With a "boom", the three-edged arrow left the string and flew towards the target at a very fast speed. didn't wait for Du Guoliang to see if the arrow had hit the figure. Zhang Erdan howled at the top of his throat: "The whole group has it, turn right...... Fall back! ”

It's time to retreat!

But yes, the pikemen of the other side are almost pounced, and there is no time to wind up and shoot again.

Du Guoliang hurriedly put on the crossbow machine, turned to the right, and then followed the soldiers in front of him, spreading his feet and running. Just as they were running away, the crossbowmen in the third and fourth rows also raised the crossbow machines in their hands, and soon shot out a cluster of three-edged arrows with huge lethality.

At the same time, six crossbowmen belonging to two divisions (regiments) fired arrows, and a total of 720 crossbowmen fired in two. Shot at least 300 Khitan soldiers.

Considering the lethality of the three-edged arrow cluster, these 720 crossbow arrows caused at least 200-300 Khitan casualties. And all the injured people, if not treated in time, will be in danger of life.

Such a casualty rate was often unbearable for the armies of the nomadic empire.

But now it is early in the morning, it is winter, the sky is still relatively dark, and the Liao soldiers who are head-covered stormtroopers can't see the situation of the surrounding battlefield clearly. I don't know how many comrades have fallen on my side, but I just saw that the opponent was running away, so my morale was greatly boosted and I desperately assaulted.

Zhang Erdan and Du Guoliang were lucky, they ran relatively fast and were not bumped into by the Liao. But the crossbowmen in the third and fourth rows were out of luck. There was no time to withdraw, so I had to draw my sword and carry it hard.

On the ice of the Liao Sea, the crossbowmen of the Republican Army and the pikemen of the Liao Army collided with each other. It's a clash of spearmen and swordsmen! No matter how sharp the sword is, it can't compare to the spear, and the moment the two sides collide, the republican warrior falls!

Fortunately, the Liao people's pikemen were loose and had been shot a lot before, so the power of the impact was limited, and it was not enough to collapse the battle formation composed of more than 300 crossbowmen.

However, the crossbowmen of the Republican Army, who were suddenly hit hard, were also a little confused, they always thought that the Republican Army (Youzhou Army) was invincible, and the Liao soldiers were not opponents at all. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the battlefield, I was knocked down with a stick! Many comrades who talked and laughed during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner have now been pierced by the spears of the Liao.

Some are dead, some are still screaming!

The smell of blood still permeated the ice field.

More than 200 Republican soldiers who had not yet fallen were in a desperate situation. Their battle line was broken by more than a thousand Liao army spearmen, and they fell into a bitter struggle.

Du Guoliang didn't run far, and at this time he also heard screams and angry scolding, and found that his comrades-in-arms were being beaten by the group. His head buzzed, his blood surged, and his anger also burned, he drew his long sword and roared loudly: "Princes of the Republic, how can you allow Hu Lu to kill my comrades!" ”

At their shout, the other retreating crossbowmen also drew their swords. Most of these crossbowmen are "primary school students" in Youzhou, and they are Confucians who never leave their swords. The statue of Confucius with angry eyes and a sword! On weekdays, fencing is also a compulsory course.

Zhang Erdan's swordsmanship is not good, but he saw that the group of recruits under him had drawn their swords, and he couldn't be too cowardly. Otherwise, how will you command it in the future? So he gritted his teeth, also pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Save the heavenly principle, destroy the Hulu, rush!" ”

Let's go!

Not only did Zhang Erdan rush up with people, but the other eleven groups of more than 300 people also drew their swords and charged, and they also let out an earth-shattering shout.

More than 360 warriors armed with sharp swords rushed up from the left flank, which had already gained the upper hand and was pressing more than 200 Republican crossbowmen to beat more than 1,000 Liao pikemen. It's not alone, it's about gathering in groups on the run and slamming into it. also caught the Liao people off guard!

The two sides collided together, and the sound of a sharp sword poking into the human body continued to sound. Occasionally, there would be screams and curses. Blood rushed all over the battlefield, flowed onto the ice, and immediately froze into a layer of red blood ice.

Du Guoliang used his shield to hold a spear that had been slapped, and then stabbed the sword hard at a rough-looking Khitan warrior. Du Guoliang has practiced real traditional martial arts! The long sword in the hand, whether it is stabbing, swinging, or blocking, it is very powerful. The leather armor of the Khitans, he can pierce with a sword!

Traditional martial arts are not flower fists and embroidered legs, but the art of battle formation, so strength training is indispensable. If you stab someone with a sword, of course, you have to stab a bloody hole with a sword.

The sword stabbed into the Khitan's body and got stuck in the ribs. The man screamed in pain, threw away his spear, grabbed the sword with both hands like crazy, and threw his fat body towards Du Guoliang.

Du Guoliang committed murder for the first time, and when he saw that the person he killed was actually crazy, he panicked. But the trick taught by the sword master has not been forgotten - when it comes to killing, be sure to hold on to the sword!

Anything can be dropped, and the sword must not be dropped!

So Du Guoliang held the sword tightly, and the Khitan man was also ferocious, and he howled and pressed up, and he was about to push Du Guoliang down.

At this time, another stunt of traditional martial arts also came into play. A warrior beside Du Guoliang swung his long sword and poked the Khitan man in the neck - this is also the secret taught by the swordsmanship teacher of Daxiangguo Temple Elementary School!

When you fight, support each other! You must not be stupid to watch your companions being cut down......

With a sword on his neck, the Khitan man finally couldn't bear it, and the blood column spurted out and sprinkled on Du Guoliang's head and face, and the whole person lost his strength, he was paralyzed, and the hands holding the sword were also released. Now Du Guoliang can finally pull out his sword and kill again.

Just as the crossbowmen of the republican army and the pikemen of the Liao army were in a group, the sword and shield men of the republican army also crossed the pikemen in front of them and threw themselves into the battle group. Now that the warriors of both sides have scuffled together, it is impossible to throw in pikemen to attack.

Moreover, the spears used by the pikemen of the Republican Army and the pistols used by the dismounted cavalry of the Liao people are not the same size, the former is one foot eight feet long, and it is not a guy in melee hand-to-hand combat at all.

So the sword and shield men behind the pikemen were sent to help! They are professional hand-to-hand combatants, not crossbowmen. As soon as these 700 people joined, the situation on the battlefield began to turn in favor of the Republican Army.

On the side of the Khitans, following the 2,000 Khitan soldiers who had changed from archers to gunners, 2,000 auxiliary soldiers guarding the shop saw that the situation in front was wrong, and they also killed them with swords and shields.

This time the battle on the ice turned into 4,000 Khitans fighting more than 1,000 republican troops. Once again, the situation has turned against the IRA!

"Cavalry battalion ready!" On the slope of Huangjiagou Mountain, Wu Yan found that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered loudly, "The flying dragon horse that leads the official!" ”

This general of the Republican Army is actually a general who likes to take the lead! I was ready to personally lead the cavalry to relieve the soldiers on the front line.

However, now the initial battle is unfavorable, and the combat effectiveness of those Liao cavalry after dismounting is stronger than imagined, and Wu Yan has no way to put in the pikemen to attack, and he can only use knights to deal with the Liao soldiers.

His eighth general was an infantry general, but there was still a cavalry battalion with five hundred half-armored knights, and there were more than a dozen knights in Wu's main general's team. They were all collected by Wu Yan and rushed down to Huangjiagou with the cavalry battalion.

More than five hundred knights, in a loose formation, rushed towards the battle group on the front line.

It's to hit with a loose formation! That kind of wall-impact formation is not something that anyone can pose. The scout cavalry attached to the infantry generals did not have this ability. Moreover, the two armies on the front line are entangled together, and it is not suitable to be crushed by wall impact.

Therefore, Wu Yan simply spread out the formation and only carried out a limited impact. Horses were also not used for carbines, but sabers and bows and arrows were prepared.

After the impact, prepare for archery and hand-to-hand combat!

More than 500 cavalrymen rushed down the hillside by the sea like a gust of wind! Wu Yan took the lead and rushed to the forefront. did not rush directly into the battle group, but rushed around the war group that was fighting fiercely, waving his saber, and slashed several Khitan warriors one after another.

The cavalry, who followed him, also joined the battle, either slashing or archery. Three or four thousand Khitan warriors suddenly fell into chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commanders of the Republican crossbowmen and sword and shield men on the battlefield gave orders to retreat one after another.

It was not that they were afraid of the Khitans, but that they wanted to make room for the pikemen in the rear to attack.

The three or four thousand Khitans in front of them are already in chaos, as long as the pikemen can rush up, it will be a one-sided slaughter.

But at this moment, Xiao Wuna had already rushed to the right flank of the Liao army, and he found that the opponent had dispatched cavalry, and he didn't care what the big barrel was, so he immediately ordered the Liao army's iron cavalry on the right flank to attack!
