Seeing the elite scouts sent into the people being shot to death one by one, Hu Yanwei's face did not have any expression. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info those people were guided to the rear by the light cavalry running out of the two armies, announcing that the conspiracy of the Han army in Qinzhou ended in failure.

Since you can't get it by skill, it's better to attack it. Hu Yanwei swept his eyes and knew that there were too few people on the other side, and it was not enough for his whole army to attack once. Immediately, he waved his hand, and a low horn sounded, and the real battle was about to begin······

Seeing that the Han army moved, the Liang army also had a trace of restlessness. At this moment, the herald's loud voice sounded again behind the formations of the troops.

"The general of the pass will order: all the towns will not move, and those who dare to enter without orders will be killed!"

The battle formation of the Liang army is a whole, and it is never the individual bravery, but the collective strength. If you attack in vain, you will destroy the integrity of the battle formation of the Liang army, which is exactly what the enemy wants!

Wei Shun had already raised his step bow at this moment, and the thousands of training sessions over the past few months had already given him a conditioned reflex. He skillfully aimed his bow and arrow at an enemy who was at the front.

"Stretch!" With a soft sound, the sharp feathered arrow shot away like lightning, turning into a small black dot in an instant. In an instant, the face of a man nearly one hundred and thirty paces away was suddenly inserted into the shaft of a half-cut arrow, and the whole person trembled and fell down as if he had been electrocuted!

Although it wasn't this person at all, his enemy forces were so dense that he could shoot with his eyes closed.

Wei Shun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought, "That person is dead?" I killed, I killed! However······ What a hate! ”

Maybe it was because he didn't see the bloody scene far away, Wei Shun didn't feel any discomfort at this moment, but instead had an inexplicable pleasure and excitement, and he took out a feather arrow and was about to shoot it out, but was stopped by Shi Chang next to him.

"Junzi, don't worry, the enemy army is still far away, it is not easy to hit, and it consumes too much energy! It's not too late to wait for the general to give the order to shoot again. ”

"Okay." Wei Shun nodded ignorantly and put away his bow.

"It seems that the enemy army is about to storm our front, and there should be a hard battle today." Shi Chang looked at the battlefield, his face a little heavy.

Wei Shun raised his head, looked at the vast battlefield in front of him, and looked at the Han army surging in under the black pressure, and sure enough, they all rushed towards the military formation where he was and the two nearby military formations.

The horns of the Han army became more and more high-pitched, tearing through the cries and wails on the battlefield, and rushed straight to the military formation of the Liang army. This horn sound means that the attack of the infantry of the Han army in Qinzhou has begun!

Cheng Dahu, who was standing in the Chinese army with his saber, was also looking forward, and saw a huge flag set up in the center of the Han army's large array thousands of steps away, with streamers on the flag, hunting and fluttering in the north wind - this is the handsome flag of the Qinzhou Thorn History of the Han Empire.

"Hu Yanyu, just let me, a little general, come and meet you!" Cheng Dahu whispered.

With the sound of horns, three huge infantry phalanxes marched from the left flank of the Han army line into the center of the battlefield. Their equipment was roughly the same as that of the armies of all countries, neatly wearing helmets and heavy leather armor, and in their hands they did not hold spears, but a round shield and a ring-headed sword more than three feet long. At the same time, about 2,000 more than 2,000 archers lined up in four horizontal formations, as if to cover the infantry attack with bows and arrows.

"General Cheng has an order: the enemy is one hundred and twenty steps, and ten thousand arrows are fired!"

"Attention, everyone, one hundred and twenty steps are coming!" The generals in the formation, such as the building master, the uncle, the team leader, and the chief, began to remind their subordinates.

Wei Shun looked at the neatly walked Han army, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and raised his bow, stretched his bow and set up his arrows, "······ You ······ Mother······ Hu Yanyu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't shoot you with an arrow! ”

After scolding the street, he closed his eyes and shot a sharp feather arrow at the dense crowd!

"Fat!"

Archers and crossbowmen are commanded by their own generals and generals, and these junior officers are veterans who have been in the army for a long time and will not hesitate in the slightest on the battlefield. As for the non-commissioned officers who shoot arrows, they are strictly subject to military law - even if they shoot arrows slowly, they will be punished by beheading! Later generations only knew that the military law of Qiang Qin was like a mountain, but they did not know that the soldiers of Liangzhou were also highly disciplined.

Clusters of arrows rained down on the Han army, but it did not stop their advance. On the flanks of these Han troops, two thousand Han heavy cavalry were already lined up and on standby, and once the Liang army's formation was scattered in the slightest, they would trample on. Such tactics were simple and practical, and until the later era of line infantry, a similar principle was still followed: a chaotic infantry formation could not withstand the onslaught of cavalry, nor could it withstand the onslaught of infantry in a well-formed formation.

"Knock ······" In the sound of war drums, the Han army of Qinzhou marched forward in formation, as if it was a moving mountain, this is the real elite!

From the perspective of later generations, they are traitor troops, but they are by no means those puppet soldiers who scattered in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Now is not the era of the rise of nationalism, these northern Han people who worked for the Huns only know that there is a court and a lord, and few people care about what race the emperor sitting on the dragon chair is.

"Stretch Stretch Stretch ······"

The sound of bowstring ejection resounded, and on the battlefield, thousands of arrows were fired in unison. At this time, the superiority of the development of weapons is manifested. The bows of the Liang army shot farther, and the archers of the Han army had to endure several rounds of sword rain before they could shoot their arrows, but the impact of these extra rounds of shooting was very great.

I saw that the armor of the Qinzhou Han army who rushed to the Liang army was covered in a rain of arrows, and after only three volleys, there was no more strict formation on the opposite side! Even the generals in heavy armor have fallen a lot. After all, the protective power of leather armor is not as good as that of iron armor, and the leather armor assigned to the Han army is not as solid as the leather armor used by the Huns, and there is no silk underwear in the leather armor that can wrap around the arrows, so it is difficult to resist the bow and crossbow of the Liang army. However, these Han soldiers still moved forward with their heads covered, without the slightest stop.

At this time, the enemy archers finally came within their range and began to throw feathered arrows! In their hands was the Xiongnu Horn Bow, a composite bow made of a variety of materials, similar in power to the infantry bows used by the Liang army. But the current bows of the two armies have far exceeded the level of the armies of the same countries, not to mention, the Liang army is still wearing a new type of hydraulic stamping steel armor!

There was a clinking sound, and the rain of arrows falling from the sky fell on the bodies of the heavy infantry of the Liang Army in the front row, only splashing some sparks, which did not seem to cause much damage. Wei Shun was also hit by an arrow, and the feather arrow inserted into the gap in the armor and hung on his body, but there was no pain. In the confrontation of bows and arrows, the Liang army seemed to have the upper hand again, but the Han army's foot soldiers who braved the arrows approached still made the air in front of the Liang army suddenly tense······

The sound of the golden drum shook the heavens and the earth, and everything on the battlefield around was shrouded in this earth-shattering shouting and killing.

When the Han army's foot soldiers braved the rain of arrows to advance less than thirty steps in front of the Liang army's formation, the three rows of armor soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up in the sound of military orders, and then the tide generally parted.

Seeing this scene, not only the Han army facing the battle was stunned, but even Hu Yanwei, who was watching the battle from afar, was also surprised - what kind of new tactics was that?

In fact, the tactics of the Liang army are not new, but Hu Lu doesn't know how to use them. Even if Hu Yanwei, who was born in the Jin army, looked out of the doorway, it would be too late, because the Han army was not equipped with crossbow machines on a large scale at all.

In ancient times, a crossbow machine was the equivalent of a firearm, and unlike a bow and arrow, it did not require long practice or exquisite skill. As long as you aim at the enemy and gently pull the trigger, the arrow will be fired. The reason why such a sharp weapon declined during the Wuhu chaos was because of Hulu's superstition of riding and shooting, and the crossbow machine with complex structure and great difficulty in making was naturally not favored by it.

"Sons! Forward! A Liang Jun Master roared hoarsely, waved the saber in his hand, and drove three rows of crossbowmen to the front with crossbow machines through the array of shield soldiers.

"Shoot!"

The commander gave an order, and I saw that the crossbowmen of the Liang Army skillfully took turns to open the crossbow - Zhang in the formation, shoot outside the formation, reincarnate again and again, Zhang and come back, shoot and re-enter, and the arrows were endless for a while.

Where have the Han army foot soldiers seen such a formation, they were in a hurry for a while, and there were many dead.

The crossbow machine is a mechanical salute that is many times more powerful than a bow and arrow at close range. Not to mention that the Han army only wore leather armor, even if it was a set of iron armor on the body, it could also be pierced.

As a result, the Han army within thirty paces retreated under the continuous fire, and the shield was almost useless.

"It's actually the method of crossbow warfare!" Hu Yanwei also had a calm expression at the moment, he had only seen this kind of combat method in the military book, but no one had ever put it into practice.

Beside him, a general said: "Lord, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the foot soldiers will be frustrated, which will be detrimental to the overall situation!" ”

Hu Yanyu nodded in agreement, and ordered: "Let the thousands of infantry soldiers get out of the way, and the heavy cavalry will charge directly into battle!" ”

The heralds quickly got on their horses and rushed out, and suddenly the drums in the Han army changed, and various flags began to shake······

Wei Shun stood in the array, and did not have the opportunity to fight the Han army face to face. He once again drew his bow, and the cluster of arrows aimed at a giant man with a shield in one hand and a ring knife in the other, this man was eight feet tall, and with a crossbow and arrow monster screamed, he crashed into the horizontal formation of the Liang army's crossbowmen, causing a lot of chaos.

There was a soft sound of "taut", and the feather arrow flew away like a meteor catching the moon, burrowing into the cheek of the giant man, and the sharp arrow shot through the skull, drilling out from the back of the head, and bringing out some pink-colored brains. Before the giant could scream, he fell to the ground.

"It's already the fourth person······" Wei Shun said secretly in his heart.

"Stretch!" Another feather arrow shot out, this time the target was a young general of the Han army who was fighting fiercely, and the arrow was also killed!

"The Fifth Man ······" Wei Shun squinted his eyes and scanned the battlefield, trying to find new prey, but heard the sound of "ding ding dong" metal knocking.

As the saying goes, advance when you hear the drums, and retreat when you sing gold. In ancient times, there was no effective means of communication on the battlefield, and if you wanted the troops to be like commanders, you could only listen to sounds, or supplemented by horns, passwords, flags, lights, etc., otherwise you would not want to make the army's dispatch orderly.

Mingjin retreated from the Han army's foot soldiers, about a tenth and a half less than when they came violently! If you don't retreat, you will collapse -- the vast majority of armies in this era can bear about 20% of the casualties in a battle, and only the troops who are put to death can bear 30% or more of the casualties. Therefore, when commanding the battle, the general must not consume the troops under his command to the death, otherwise it will collapse on the battlefield, but the army will be defeated.

Therefore, on top of the battle formation, the generals must grasp the rhythm of advance and retreat, and withdraw the troops with heavy losses in time.

However, the retreat of the Han army's infantry was not easy, and Cheng Dahu saw the opportunity and ordered the spearmen on standby behind the crossbowmen to go out in pursuit. However, as soon as the Liang army moved, the heavy cavalry of the Han army on the opposite side also moved.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Cheng Dahu hurriedly ordered to retreat. The spearmen of the Liang army only chased for a dozen steps, and then cut off the heads of the Han soldiers who were lying on the battlefield, and retreated in formation amid cheers.

"Alas, if the Metropolitan Governor can leave us with five hundred elite cavalry, these foot soldiers of the Han army will collapse!" A member of the building owner standing beside Cheng Dahu shook his head and sighed.

"Cavalry Golden ······" Cheng Dahu said: "The Metropolitan Governor is fighting fiercely in front, and he can't do without a large number of cavalry to cover him. ”

In a matter of moments as they spoke, the Han army's heavy cavalry had already increased its speed to the fastest, and the crumbling hooves of the horses slammed against the hard earth with a thrilling sound. I thought that even if the Liang army saw this situation, even if it did not withdraw, it would form a shield array to prepare to resist the impact. But in fact, Liang Jun didn't do anything, as if he was scared stupid, he stood still and didn't move.

The Han army's heavy cavalry came in an instant, and the saber raised high flashed with cold light, as if it would be able to cut off the head of the Liang army in the next moment.

Just when everyone in the Han army thought that the Liang army array was about to be broken through, something incredible happened. I only heard a loud bang, and the place more than ten steps away from the Liang army's formation suddenly collapsed, and the Han army's heavy cavalry that rushed in front fell directly into it!

A huge trench appeared on the ground that was five or six miles long, seven or eight paces wide, and more than a foot deep.

The heavy cavalry of the Han army in front wanted to stop, but the war horses that had reached the speed limit could not stop at all, and the cavalry behind them were still rushing forward, so more than half of the entire heavy cavalry army of more than 1,000 people was planted headlong in this way. Because the heavy cavalry wears heavy armor even for men and horses, it is very bulky, and it is impossible to stand up when it falls to the ground.

In this way, most of the cavalry who fell into the trench were crushed to death by their own horses, or stoned to death by those who fell in from behind. Most of those who did not enter the trench fell in the trampling of each other, in short, the heavy cavalry of the Han army in this round of charging suffered heavy casualties!

Cheng Dahu didn't intend to give these expensive troops a chance to escape, as soon as he waved his hand, the spearmen who had already been ready for a long time rushed to the edge of the trench with a big spear two or three zhang long, and stabbed inside!

In the distance, in the Han army's formation, Hu Yanwei's eyes were wide open. He never thought that Liang Jun would dig a trench in advance. It seemed that he felt the anger of his lord, and the rest of the generals around him were silent.

"Beat the drums!" Hu Yanwei gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army will attack, give me a flat in Yuzhong!" ”
