Chapter 673: Never Say Never

When the three Song armies with different main weapons met in the middle of the battlefield, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Song army. On the hills, the light cavalry of the Song army had begun to assemble. The brave men threw away all their armor and carried only long knives and short spears for throwing, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

The figure of the blonde woman had disappeared from the enemy ranks, as if she had never been seen. Gao Hu's gaze slowly swept across the battlefield, and then spread his palms.

The guard behind him stepped forward, picked up a red-lacquered longbow in both hands, and handed it to him. Gao Hu held the bow in his left hand, raised his right hand slightly, and a red arrow jumped out of the arrow box and landed on his fingertips. Gao Hu pulled the bowstring, the longbow bent into a full moon, and a light seemed to flow from his hand to the edge of the arrow, condensing into a dazzling white light. Then he let go of his fingers, and the arrow flew straight across the chaotic battlefield like a meteor.

On the battlefield of nearly 100,000 people, a person is like a small ant, inconspicuous. A figure in armor and a prancing horse didn't have time to dodge before an arrow pierced through his shoulder, and the huge impact caused him to fly out and fall to the ground.

Chen Guoan couldn't help but be frightened when he saw that it was Ruan Shengyong, another general of the Jiaozhi Army, who was hit by an arrow.

Ruan Shengyong pressed his shoulder, stared coldly at Gao Hu on the hill, pulled out the arrow that entered his body with one hand, broke it into two sections, and then passed out.

Chen Guoan shouted loudly, and the surrounding guards gathered again and blocked him.

"You're right, it's time for the whole army to change the Bohai bow." Gundam glanced at Gao Hu and nodded.

Gao Hu sighed and handed the bow in his hand to the guard.

At this time, the first three armies of the Cochin Army, "Iron Spear", "Iron Armor", and "Iron Sickle", had been completely disabled. The losses were more than 30,000 people. The Song army also paid a lot of casualties, but the armies remained intact.

At this time, no one in the Jiaozhi army dared to step into the firing radius of the Song army's bow and crossbow, and the wooden shield of the Jiaozhi army could not resist the killing of the Song army's divine arm bow and repeater. No matter how brave the warrior was, once he saw the short crossbow of the Song army, he also lost the courage to charge.

Finally, the front army of the Song army began to move forward again, slowly advancing in a tight formation, moving closer to the center of the battlefield. Once it meets the left and right flanks, the range will cover the entire battlefield.

At this moment, a low horn came from the direction behind him. Gundam turned his head sharply and looked behind him.

A peculiar row of forests appeared on the horizon in the distance. It was a phalanx of countless spears, and as the phalanx advanced, the spears grew higher and higher, revealing the samurai with spears.

"The Vietnamese can also play the spear phalanx?" Du Lili said with some surprise.

"Their spears are not as long as those of the Song army, and it seems that the material of the pole is not good." Wang Linlin stared at the newly emerged Jiaozhi military formation and said, "But so many of them quietly went around behind us, it's still cunning enough." ”

"Their spear phalanx is not very neat, but there are too many people, and they can also cause great trouble to the Song army." Ye Chuchu carefully looked at the situation on the battlefield and said, "They seem to have put all their troops on the line." ”

Although Ye Chuchu only made a judgment based on his intuitive feeling of the battlefield, Sun Hui, who was familiar with the history of ancient warfare, knew that what she said was very reasonable, the spears used by the Song army's foot soldiers could already be said to be the pinnacle of individual weapons in this era, and in a head-to-head confrontation, no army could break through their spear array, even if they made a large array of moon-covering long knives for the Song army. Although the spears used by this new Jiaozhi army did not exceed the heavy spears of the Song army, their length and density would still pose a great threat to the Song army.

Seeing the dense forest of spears appearing on the horizon, Chen Guoan breathed a sigh of relief, and then his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground, unable to stand up again. From the bottom of his heart, he thanked the gods and Buddhas who protected Dayue! They're finally here!

Gundam's gaze fell on Zhang Yu, who had returned to his main formation. At this time, Zhang Yu looked at the moving forest, and his face became extremely gloomy.

It was a huge phalanx, with more than 300 Jiaozhi soldiers lined up in a line, forming a dense battle line half a mile long. The depth of the phalanx is sixteen columns, and the number of people in just one phalanx is more than four thousand. They had no armor, but wore sleeveless red coarse cloth shirts, spears on their shoulders, and a large square shield in their left hand. At the top right of the shield, there is a moon-shaped hole, and once they enter the battlefield, they will line up the shields and stick their spears out of the hole to attack their opponents.

The infantry lined up in such an array, in the flat terrain, their spear formation was extremely powerful, and even if they could break through, they would pay a huge price for casualties.

Gundam realized that he had lost a good opportunity, and if he hadn't waited for the best time for the Cochin Legion to run out, and had thrown the Song cavalry into battle earlier, perhaps the frontal Cochin Legion would have been defeated, and the frightened Chen Guoan would have been forced to withdraw from the battlefield. At this time, the Song army, which had won a chance to breathe, could completely return to the division and line up, relying on the terrain of the hills, to resist the incoming army from a high position.

He saw at a glance the weakness of this Cochin army. Compared with the Song army's phalanx, the Jiaozhi army's phalanx was larger in size and denser in formation, while the flexibility was far less than that of the Song army's small phalanx, and the terrain requirements were more demanding, a jungle, or a hill, could have fatal consequences for their formation. But he is now unable to choose the battlefield.

The emergence of this cochin army has thrown a heavy weight on the balance that has been out of balance. The weary Cochin warriors let out a battle cry again, and the victory within reach lifted their fighting spirit to a climax.

However, Gundam was very calm, and there was a hint of relief on his face, which could even be said to be relieved.

"Master, how should you use the soldiers now?" Zhang Yu seemed a little out of breath at the moment, he let out a heavy gasp, bowed to Gundam, and asked, "I would like to be the forebody." ”

Gundam stroked the leather armor on his wrist, smiled, and asked, "Zhang Yu, you have followed me from birth to death for fifteen years, right?" How many battles have you fought? ”

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Gundam asked himself such a sentence at this critical moment, but he immediately replied: "Twenty-seven times in big and small battles. ”

"That's it." Gundam bowed his head and sighed, "How many times have you been defeated?" ”

"Twice." Zhang Yu took a deep breath, then puffed up his chest.

"How many times has it been so dangerous today?"

"It's the first time."

Listening to Zhang Yu's answer, Gao Gao smiled slightly, "This time, can we afford to lose?" ”
