Chapter 320: The First Formation

"Order the airship troops to take off, and return after detecting the enemy's reinforcements, and not to attack." Dai Shihuan did not make adjustments to the situation at the front. There are a few effective aspects of command that are relaxed, whether it is Tan Weiran, Cheng Chi or Chi Lei, they are all good at military affairs, and although Ye Tao is not particularly familiar with military affairs, he has almost no worries about the collapse of the Chinese army in the Chinese army, even if it is under several times the enemy's attack. He was a qualified leader, and the sergeants adored him, appreciated him, respected him, and were willing to die for him. And among those officers, there are many supporters of Ye Tao. I have to add Tan Weiran, a young, gentle but decisive prince, and Xu Yao, the prince's right-hand man. In Dai Shihuan's mind, Dai Shijin had long regarded such a Chinese army as a powerful weapon to launch the final blow to the enemy.

"The longbowmen are ready, five hundred steps to shoot, straight ahead." A voice rang out behind the infantry array. The longbowmen of the Blood Qi Army have performed many miraculous feats, but this is the first time that the longbowmen of the Yunzhou armies have had an accident. In the past, some people even said that everyone in the Yunzhou army could ride and shoot, not to mention the warriors of the Jingyun Cavalry, not to mention the tribal warriors, and they had to add those guys from the Jingyun Cavalry Archery Battalion, where almost everyone was a marksman. Instead of making a few battalions of longbowmen, it would be useful to train a few more battalions of combat infantry. The cost of archer armor is not much cheaper than the armor of combat infantry, and with the addition of equipment such as longbows, quivers, portable crossbows, crossbow quivers, etc., the cost of equipping a longbowman is about one and a half combat infantry. But Ye Tao still kept the establishment of the Longbow Battalion and focused on cultivating. The current Longbow Battalion is basically used as a medium-range volunteer weapon. Due to the development of the heavy equipment battalion in Yunzhou, it is rare to use such tactics as projectiles. More often than not, the battalion of archers divided into small groups responded quickly to the changing whistles of the officers and non-commissioned officers at the forefront, and carried out accurate shots.

But at this moment, the three archer battalions of the left, center and right armies fired at the same time, and the timing was very vicious, and the first batch of arrows fell, just sweeping the tail of the cavalry that was charging in front, and the infantry that followed up the impact, especially the front of those cannon fodder infantry. Although it was impossible to cut off the continuous onslaught of the opposing infantry and cavalry, as long as the infantry behind their cavalry was slightly delayed, the rest of the troops would be very versatile, and for the Longbow battalion, this was within their autonomy. They attack early, consuming a round of arrows, but the damage and tactical effect are considerable. After all, this time, the Yunzhou armies had never announced that they should not launch any attacks until a certain commander gave an order.

Sure enough, the heavy equipment battalion, which had more experience in long-range strikes, immediately reacted, and when the deflagration effect failed, they immediately ignited the fuse of the fire oil bomb and quickly shot out round after round of fire oil bombs. The enemy was so close that the light oil burst open, carrying a multitude of clay pot shards and hot flames that blew the infantry behind them. The first batch of infantry to carry out the assault were all Cathar men, and they were so poorly protected that they were caught in the sore feet by this spontaneous fragmentation projectile.

"Jing Yun rides, attack!" "Tieyun Ride, attack!" "Guards, forward!" Three orders were issued almost simultaneously. With a shout of excitement, a total of four battalions of cavalry rushed out. directly met the Xiling army. And later passed into the command room, what made Dai Shijin and Dai Shiheng cry and laugh was that the leaders of Tan Weiran, Xu Yao, Cheng Chi, and even Ye Tao were all personally led by themselves.

Ye Tao was wearing an adjusted armor, and after his waist was relaxed for a gear, the armor became very fitting again. After all, he's only slightly fatter. And for men in this time and space, I'm afraid there is no exercise to lose weight more than war. A person of Ye Tao's status, even if he fought with the army, was taken care of very well, and these days when he commanded the whole army to enter Xiling, not only did he not lose weight successfully, but he also gained some weight. The food of the Yunzhou army is very good, and there is meat at once, a lot of meat. And the pomegranate in the Chinese military camp used to serve Dai Yun, whose temper was definitely not very good compared to Ye Tao, so naturally there were many ways to let Ye Tao eat on time every day, and he had to add snacks and supper, so it was strange that he was not fat. Mainly, with careful planning in advance, Ye Tao actually didn't have much to worry about. Even if the battle was carried out this time, he gave an order, and the staff department of the entire Chinese military camp and the whole army joined forces to quickly come up with a detailed plan. Ye Tao can only show his presence in the army by going into battle.

Liu Yong is not young, but obviously he likes this chaotic scene very much, he is the only person around Ye Tao who does not wear full body armor, just a chain mail and a leather armor, and even the hood of the chain mail is folded around his neck. But Liu Yong's long sword in one hand and the bag of flying knives on the saddle bag of the saddle hit him with a look of hope. When he fanned an officer of the enemy away with one pinnacle, everyone looked at Liu Yong as if they were looking at a monster. And the monster-level marksman Zheluo, surrounded by three guards, followed Ye Tao and continued to shoot arrows, and that scene became more and more terrifying. With this equipment, Jerro did not carry any melee weapons except for a close-fitting off-hand blade, except for eight bags of arrows hanging from the saddle. The cavalrymen around him who helped him block the melee attack did not carry longbows, but each carried two extra bags of arrows. What does this mean? This means that with an average rate of fire of twenty arrows per minute, Zoro can shoot non-stop for nearly half an hour...... Actually, it's just a theory. As strong as Jerro, even with a special marksman glove and a custom-made platinum ring that lightens the burden on his fingers, he has to rest.

Although the Guards cavalry was the most elite cavalry, they became more and more reluctant to fight brutally, and fought extremely intelligently. Basically, it's a cover one, alternate impacts, and when you recover your horsepower and your own strength a little, you don't forget to wind the hand crossbow. The crossbow is not very useful against cavalry, but the opponent's cavalry line is not thick, and the more you rush to the back, the more you encounter the infantry that comes up from behind, the more obvious the effect of the crossbow is. The cavalry, which is entangled in fighting, is not so advantageous to the infantry, everyone understands this.

"Combat infantry, give it to me!" As Tan Weiran raised his blood-stained sword high in front and gave orders to the infantry who were eagerly waiting behind, with a shout full of fighting spirit, the fighting infantry of Yunzhou threw themselves into battle. Before entering the combat infantry battalion, these nimble and athletic sergeants had repeatedly confirmed whether they had made up their minds. They all knew that Ye Tao was very skeptical about whether he wanted to make the scale of this unit so large, that is, he felt that the combat infantry battalion would inevitably be the unit with the highest casualty rate in the future, and he was very worried about the tragic losses of these sons. But these sergeants were grateful for Ye Tao's care, but they became more and more firm in their beliefs. In Yunzhou, the fighting infantry battalion is an army of brave men, and every sergeant who enters the fighting infantry battalion is instilled with an idea: you are not allowed to change your name for a name, your life is more expensive. And the armor standards of the fighting infantry battalion in Yunzhou have been adjusted again and again, and Ye Tao has changed the first two battalions to change them again, and they have all changed to the current new type of infantry armor. Lighter, more flexible, easier to maintain, better protection, and better visibility for helmets...... And they all know that soon after returning this time, the combat infantry battalion will also be issued with new goggles, which not only allow them not to squint in the wind and sand, but also invalidate all the tricks that are often used by inferior enemies, such as sprinkling lime and sand...... Combat infantry is not afraid of death, but Ye Tao rarely gives them a chance to face death.

The brawling infantry stepped forward bravely, and their frenzy was so mad that both sides were dumbfounded. It's rare to see friendly troops who rob the enemy and kill them with their own people, right? But the fighting infantry grabbed it fiercely. One by one, they even took down the lassoes they were carrying behind their backs, pulled down the enemy's cavalry one by one, and then went up to trample them to death...... It's really trampled to death. And when they rushed to the forefront of the ranks with great fear, they were connected to the offensive of the cavalry, and the large number of infantry of the cathar army was in battle......

"Second formation...... Sortie. Looking at the offensive that had been completely contained from a distance in the telescope, Jiang Xujing calmly spat out a few words. And the generals and officials around him were also expressionless. They thought that the first few attacks would be repulsed, but they didn't expect that this first attack, which was not weak, would be suppressed like this, and there was not even the slightest chance. Seeing the situation in the telescope, Ye Tao doesn't seem to be the kind of bookish guy who is angry. Although he looked a little immature when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was a little jerky between turns, these generals of the Zhenbei Military Division thought that at Ye Tao's age, they might not be a little better than him now. Ye Tao actually didn't cause trouble to his own people, whether it was dodging attacks, turning the horse's head, counterattacking, and splitting stabs, he was very methodical. This is enough, such a commander is like a needle on the front line, which can raise the morale of the entire army by more than one grade.

"Sun Xiaoyou, what do you think?" Jiang Xujing asked expressionlessly. Sun Xiaofan, who was behind him, took a slight step forward and whispered, "There is still Liu Yong by his side." There is no hurry. Handsome and relieved. By the time of the third and fourth formations, they were too busy to take care of themselves, and their strength had also dropped, so it was a good time to make a move. My people are already all set up. ”

Sun Xiaofan is the behind-the-scenes controller of the current Guardian Army, and his snake eyes, although he has not made many achievements, but in the past year, you have solved three of the twenty goals of the Daoming Sect and eleven of the fifty goals, and this kind of outstanding achievement has made the high-level of the Daoming Sect also indulge Sun Xiaofan's nonsense a little. But Snake Eyes, in terms of assassination, does have a lot of experience.
