Chapter 293: Fight in Formation
"Wow! ~For! ~For! ~"With the order of Badulu, the loud sound of gold could not help but spread to every corner of the battlefield. www.biquge.info After hearing this loud sound of gold, the generals outside the battalion, who were already fearful, couldn't help but shout, and led the troops under their command to evacuate in an orderly manner in the direction of the camp at the first time.
However, the two armies are more than one breath. Seeing the retreat of the officers and soldiers on the black-clothed side, they had already killed the red-eyed ones, and without waiting for their own orders, they also brandished their weapons and began to pursue with a roar.
"Kill the Tartars, don't let these dog Tartars run away!" The red-eyed generals on the front line shouted so loudly. Hell-bent on killing the enemy for revenge, they couldn't help but bite their prey like enraged hungry wolves at this time.
"Tartar of the dog day, I let you insult my brother's corpse and take my brother's armor!" In the process of officers and soldiers rushing to retreat, those officers and soldiers who used the armor of the black-clothed army as trophies and picked up the armor of the black-clothed soldiers in public also became the target of the black-clothed soldiers.
So at this time, the precious plate armor, which was originally hard to find in a hundred gold, couldn't help but become a life-urging talisman that officers and soldiers could not avoid.
"Damn it, damn the thief in black!" Because the black-clothed army was too fierce and fearless of death, under the command of Usawumon, it was originally an orderly retreat, but it gradually began to turn into a disorderly escape like abandoning armor.
Therefore, after scolding angrily, in order to hold his fists as much as possible, so as not to suffer the punishment of losing Badulu, Wusa Wumeng couldn't help but look at a southerner who was not very valued and had no backing behind him. With his official position, he forcibly ordered the ten thousand households: "You, I order you to immediately lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to delay time for the army." Fast! ”
"What, General......"
"What, do you want to disobey?"
"The last general...... The last general will not dare, and the last general will lead the queen of the palace. "The official level crushed people to death, and they were in the middle of the war, and they were fighting against Wusa Wumeng, who had the power of life and death, and Su Qing, who was under ten thousand households, naturally did not dare not agree. So after singing a promise on the hard scalp, Su Qing couldn't help but take the only remaining more than 2,000 Han troops in his headquarters to meet the black-clothed army that rushed to kill like a mountain tiger.
……
"Brothers, kill. Kill all these two Tartars who have lost their ancestors! "For these Nanren Han troops who are not trusted by the Yuan and Mongolian courts and have been repeatedly excluded. Most of them were born in poor families, and the black-clothed army could not have the slightest sympathy.
After all, in order to please their masters, these bastards bullied their fellow clansmen back then, and their methods were much more ruthless than those of the Yuanmeng people. Therefore, for most of the people at the bottom, these two Tartars who help and abuse are far more hateful than the real Tartars. This is like during the War of Resistance Against Japan, traitors were far more hateful than real Japanese.
So when they saw that the more than 2,000 Han troops who had been abandoned by Wusa Wumeng tried in vain to stop them, these black-clothed soldiers who killed red-eyed soldiers ruthlessly brandished their weapons and launched a charge to kill them.
And among the black-clothed sergeants who rushed to kill, the ones who rushed to the front were naturally the soldiers of the Deng and Xu clans who had not yet made enough heads, and the Yuanmeng soldiers such as Zana who changed their ways and threw themselves into Zhang Shihua's account to save their lives.
To be honest, since Zhang Shihua recruited Zhana and these Yuanmeng people to work for him. Whenever a battle began, they must have been the first to rush and kill, and the most ruthless to the enemy (they never took the enemy prisoner).
So after a long time, although most of the Han people in the black-clothed army still looked down on this group of Tartars. But because of their brave performance, on the bright side, at least they are no longer excluded and despised by the Han people in the black-clothed army as before. So in this way, in order to fight for a higher status, their group of people can't help but become more and more brave in fighting.
And this time, under the attack of such two fierce and fearless troops, the more than 2,000 Han troops, whose morale was not much left, were naturally completely defeated in the blink of an eye.
……
"Die!" A roar came. Su Qing, who was frightened and was about to escape, couldn't help but be cut off by that knife.
"Damn, this tartar has taken the lead again." Seeing that Zhana was the first to succeed, such as Zhou Tie, Li Erniu and other black-clothed generals, he scolded angrily. He couldn't help but pour out his anger on the surrounding Han soldiers who were already unwilling to fight and just fled for their lives.
And just like that, in just a moment, the Han army of more than 2,000 southerners was like ice and snow in the dog days, and it was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
"Kill! Keep rushing forward! After easily eliminating these two thousand enemy soldiers, the morale of the black-clothed army couldn't help but become higher and higher. And under the stimulation of such high morale, the black-clothed sergeant who had already killed red-eyed soldiers couldn't help but charge at the heavily defended officer and soldier battalion not far away.
"Damn the black-clad thieves, they're so darling. Come, give me the order, let the soldiers in the camp be ready to fight, I have to give this group of thieves who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a little color today! "Seeing that the black-clothed army had already broken through the more than 2,000 Han soldiers they left behind the palace in one fell swoop, and achieved nearly 5,000 beheading and wounding, they didn't know that they would accept it when they saw it, but they had to attack the camp where he lost Badulu in a greedy and insufficiently manner.
After answering Badulu, who was already angry, scolded angrily, he couldn't help but convey one military order after another, and strode off the high platform with his sword in hand, ready to personally command the battle.
……
"Kill the Tartar!" The speed of the black-clothed army's charge was very fast, but in the blink of an eye, these murderers who had defeated the Han army behind the palace couldn't help roaring, brandishing all kinds of weapons, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they angrily rushed towards the camp on the side of the officers and soldiers.
However, under the command of Badulu, the response of the officers and soldiers was also very fast. In fact, as early as when Badulu gave the order to Mingjin to withdraw his troops from the outer battalion, the remaining troops in the battalion had already entered and exited the state of standby. Therefore, in such a situation, there is actually no possibility for the black-clothed army to be caught off guard against the troops in these battalions.
However, the rush has already begun, and there is a saying: "The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent" At this time, it is impossible to withdraw the troops that have already rushed to kill.
Therefore, Zhang Shihua, who commanded and supervised the battle behind the battle, still ordered someone to beat the war drums, ready to resist the enemy and see if they still have any hole cards.
……
"Kill!" The shouts of killing from the two armies in unison were simply deafening. And under the shouting of killing, which made people's hearts almost jump out, the most elite soldiers of the two armies could not help but start a new round of white-knuckle battle in front of the large camp of officers and soldiers who were tightly protected by the solid wooden camp wall.
"Array! Kill the thief! A battle-hardened officer and soldier roared angrily.
And in the midst of such an angry roar, in front of the military formation of officers and soldiers, those sword and shield men carrying half-human tall shields couldn't help but gather the big shields of means to form an incomparably tight shield wall at the first time.
Therefore, the big shields of the officers and soldiers are all uniformly and specially-made, and the whole shield is in the shape of a "convex" character, which is large at the bottom and small at the top, and the material of the shield is made of hardwood clad iron. So this half-man-tall shield is very heavy. At that time, the Tanma Chi vanguard army that was defeated by Guo Yu used this kind of shield, and the shield was more than 30 catties, which was not much lighter than the plate armor on the black-clothed sergeant.
In this era, such a shield can be said to be a serious heavy weapon. If it is a little farther away, it is estimated that even a divine arm crossbow will not be able to shoot through such a large shield.
Therefore, in the face of such an enemy, in addition to cavalry charges, hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat is the best way. However, it is not so easy to fight in close quarters, looking at the shape of this shield, you can see that the "convex" shape with a large bottom and a small top is actually to give the sword and shield hand holding these shields a place to attack.
This is equivalent to the battlements on the city wall that are used as shooting bunkers, in order to better kill the enemy while defending.
Therefore, when the incomparably tight shield array came out, a short blade with a handle and a spear with a rod couldn't help but stretch out from the gap in the shield array.
These extremely sharp and shining weapons, while blocking the gap in the shield array, couldn't help but turn the shield array into a long wall of steel full of sharp blades and spears.
In the face of such a terrible military formation, even the collective charge of the cavalry may not be able to break them, let alone the individual soldier who relies on his own blood and bravery.
No, after killing and wounding dozens of soldiers who were killed to the point of madness in vain, and couldn't even listen to military orders, the black-clothed army finally couldn't help but calm down and temporarily stopped the pace of the charge. Because these battle-hardened soldiers know that in the face of such an enemy, only the same military formation can be defeated.
Relying on his own bravery, rushing to kill like a fool is just sending him to death.
……
"Look, General, this time it's a bit interesting." Zhang Shihua and others, who rushed to kill with the army, naturally saw the enemy set up a tight military formation behind the formation. So after smiling disdainfully, Li Wu couldn't help but say something to Zhang Shihua.
And Zhang Shihua heard Li Wu's disdainful words, and after glancing at the tight military formation of the officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard Ah Yu talk about the military formation of the Tartars. At that time, Ah Yu easily defeated the three thousand pioneers of the Tartars. So when I asked him how the Tartar army was, he just told me, 'The Tartar army is tangible and godless, flashy, and empty.' ”
"The 3,000 vanguard army that he defeated at that time, according to Meng Haima, should be the 3,000 Tanma Red Army of the Tartars, which is an extremely elite force. But judging from the battles of the past two days, I feel that the enemy's new army is far more elite than the Red Army of Nalaoshzitanma. ”
"So I don't know what happened to the Tartars, who took their new army as the backbone and lined up in formation."
"Hmph, so be it. Ah Wu, you passed on my military order, and ordered Shihui to lead his headquarters of nearly 6,000 men and horses to fight against the Tartars, and the rest of the soldiers and soldiers all responded from the side. Today, I want to see how many catties and taels there are in this Tartar army. ”
Saying this, as soon as Zhang Shihua urged his crotch to get off his horse, he couldn't help but take thousands of guards and soldiers beside him to ride his horse into the Chinese army. Watch this upcoming fierce battle.
……
Zhang Shihua's order was conveyed quickly, but it was only a moment, and Zhang Shihui, who received Zhang Shihua's military order, couldn't help but be full of confidence and roared angrily to let the six thousand soldiers under his command quickly form a military formation.
Similar to the military formation of the officers and soldiers, the phalanx of the black-clothed army is naturally also the strongest sword and shield hand at the front of the military formation.
After all, there was no such weapon as a fire system in these days, and in the face of sword and shield men wearing heavy armor and holding large shields, ordinary pikemen or archers could not break through the defenses at all. Therefore, in those YY novels of later generations, the pig's feet swept the world by relying on the spear phalanx composed of cheap pikemen, and naturally it could not appear in this real world.
Don't talk about this at this time, just talk about the phalanx on Zhang Shihua's side.
Although it is said that Zhang Shihua's phalanx is the same as the sword and shield hand in the front, the long weapon in the middle, and the archer in the back. However, in some details, there is still a big difference between Zhang Shihua's side and the officers and soldiers.
And this first difference is actually the difference between the shields of the two sides. Although it is said that the sword and shield hand under Zhang Shihua's command, the big shield used is still an extremely perfect "convex" shaped shield. But the difference is that the shields used by the soldiers under Zhang Shihua are not ordinary flat shields. It is a special shield in the shape of a "V", which not only has significant defensive power, but also has a strong attack power because of the sharp edges and corners of iron.
After all, the weight of the shield is twenty or thirty pounds, and if the blade of the sword and shield hand is damaged in the fierce battle, they can also use the shield to kill the enemy.
But don't underestimate the lethality of this kind of shield, Zhang Shihua has tested it, this kind of big shield is waved, the lethality is no less than that of a war hammer, and the heavy weight is wielded, it is definitely a death when it is rubbed.
But because of this, this shield cannot be used as a weapon after all. Because it's so heavy and too big, it's no problem for you to take this shield and make an improvised cameo in the heat of battle, kill one or two people, and then grab a weapon back. But if you keep using it as a weapon, it won't take more than half an hour, and you'll lose your strength.
But even so, some of Zhang Shihua's sword and shield bearers who have their own courage still like to use their shields as weapons when fighting the enemy in close combat. Just because of the board-like weapon, it's too enjoyable to smash people.
