Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mountain Shaking Battalion Dispatches
On December 26, the first year of the Great Controversy, the cold wind kept blowing on the land on the banks of the Changxi River, and with the arrival of winter, the whole land was already full of gloom and sadness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And on this day, the Battle of Pingluo, which marked the beginning of Sima Yu's rise on this continent, was about to start at the last moment of the year.
Outside Pingluo Village, there is a plain wasteland covering several square kilometers under the Belo Mountain, where two huge armies are slowly approaching.
Leaning against the mountain, this side is the army of nearly 12,000 unicorns led by Sima Yu.
At the forefront of the army, 4,800 soldiers of the Shaoshan Battalion stood in the rear under the leadership of Wang Yanzhang to form the Chinese army, and they were the main force in this battle against the Nikan army.
As the earliest battalion established under Sima Yu's command, after such a long time of training and several battles, coupled with the sophisticated ordnance produced by the Seigong, the Shaoshan Battalion has been transformed into a real elite division under the leadership of Wang Yanzhang.
This was evident in previous battles with the Qing army led by Martu.
Behind him, Gu Changfeng led 1,800 brocade guards to guard behind Sima Yu, while Wu Song and Wu Tu Gu were on both sides of Sima Yu like iron towers.
The terrain here is slightly higher, and a temporary simple platform has been built, which is conducive to Sima Yu to see the overall situation and command the battle.
On the left side of the mountain-shaking camp near the mountain are 2,300 white-pole soldiers dressed in leather armor and armed with spears, waiting in place under the leadership of Qin Liangyu.
When Sima Yu led the guards battalion to Pingluo and joined Li Yanzhang and them, Qin Liangyu, who was rescued, immediately expressed his intention to Sima Yu to surrender.
In this battle with the Nikan army, Qin Liangyu's original accumulated strength has lost nearly two-thirds, and only 2,300 elite white pole soldiers and 3,000 garrisons with insufficient combat power are left, which are no longer enough to be independent of Sima Yu's forces as allies.
Moreover, Qin Liangyu also knows his ability, he may be a general, but it is impossible to compete for the throne.
Therefore, instead of waiting until she is annexed by Sima Yu in the future, it is better to take effect as soon as possible, and she can also get out of her daily affairs, lean against the mountain of Qilin County, and give full play to her talents.
On the right side of the Shaking Mountain Battalion are 2,000 guards battalion iron armor, and Huang Jingtian, the commander of the unified army, is lined up in front of the formation, ready to lead the charge at any time.
Cherrigi and Hu Chuquan led 1,500 Qilin cavalry, which were arrayed in a conical formation hundreds of meters away on the right side of the army, and the open terrain was conducive to the heavy cavalry to charge.
The Nikan army opposite the Qilin Army had just arrived, and the 20,000 troops were divided into five phalanxes, and the soldiers in the formation were hurriedly arrayed under the command of the generals in the army.
With the current Jinyiwei's spying ability, the Nikan army had just been dispatched, and the news had already spread quickly from Banqiao Town to Sima Yu.
After getting the news, Sima Yu also immediately raised his army and lined up on the flat ground under Mount Belo, waiting for the arrival of Nikan's army.
Because of the existence of the 4,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry under Nikan's command, Sima Yu, who was not superior in strength, did not dare to send troops to ambush along the way.
"Order the Shaking Mountain Battalion to attack!"
On the war horse, looking at the Qing army that had just arrived on the opposite side and had not yet lined up neatly, Sima Yu ordered.
"Whoa!"
The flag officer beside him quickly waved the flag in his hand and signaled to the Shaking Mountain Battalion in front of the army to march.
"Drums! Sortie! ā
After receiving the military order, Wang Yanzhang immediately ordered the march.
"Knock knock~"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Accompanied by the sound of majestic drums, Zhou Cang, who was riding and riding on a war horse, led 1,000 soldiers in iron armor to march first, stretching out in a half-moon shape, densely covering the front of the army, with spearmen and shield soldiers holding shields in the front row and both wings, and pikemen and archers in the rear.
In the rear of Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao also led his 1,000 soldiers to dispatch, quickly caught up with the Zhou Cang army in front, and merged with it to form a goose-shaped formation of 2,000 people.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
After the two troops of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao in front were dispatched, Captain Wang Yanzhang waved his hand and slowly led the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion who were neatly lined up behind him to follow slowly, sweeping the formation for the two of them.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! ā
The movement of the Shaking Mountain Battalion immediately caused a little confusion among the slave troops who had not yet completed the formation, and the generals in charge of the command urged urgently.
However, these slave soldiers were obviously negligent in queue training on weekdays, and the more these generals urged, the more panicked the soldiers below became, especially the phalanx in the middle facing the Shaking Mountain Camp could see the obvious commotion from a distance.
"Don't mess around! Trespassers will be killed! ā
Just when the slave army generals were about to be unable to suppress it, the two Niu Luzheng Blue Banner cavalry quickly rushed to the two flanks of the slave army, which stopped the riot of the slave army and quickly completed the formation under the command of the general.
In the distance, Sima Yu, who saw this scene, couldn't help frowning.
It seems that the hearts of these slave soldiers have been completely subdued by these Eight Banner Iron Cavalry, and tens of thousands of slave soldiers are actually well-behaved under the drink of the Zhenglan Banner Cavalry of the Two Niu Lu, if they can't break the magic barrier in their hearts, these slave soldiers may not be able to become elite soldiers no matter how they are trained in the future.
"Gun array!"
Just when Sima Yu was secretly pondering, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had already led 2,000 soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion to stop at a distance of only 300 steps from the Qing army, and the front row of spears and shields stood in formation, and a black spear with a handle stretched out of the shield array nearly 2 meters away, glowing with a cold light, forming an arc-shaped ironclad battle array composed of guns and shields.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
After the spear and shield soldiers formed a formation, the 500 archers in the rear quickly drew their bows, and with Zhou Cang's order, hundreds of arrows immediately poured towards the slave army formation in the middle, setting off a burst of blood mist and screams among the poorly equipped slave army.
"Attack!"
However, in just a wave of arrows, hundreds of slave soldiers were injured by sharp arrows and lost their combat effectiveness.
Seeing this, the general of the slave army located in the middle army did not wait for the next wave of arrows to arrive, and immediately ordered.
"Kill them all, and those who retreat die!"
A team of blue flag iron horsemen also came to the side of the formation and urged repeatedly.
"Kill!"
There were enemy troops in front of them, and there were fierce Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in the back, and these slave soldiers also knew that they couldn't drag it out any longer at this time, so they began to rush towards Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao under the rain of arrows.
Under the long-term high-pressure and cruel training of the Qing army, the cruel, murderous, and crazy side of these slave soldiers' human nature has been developed, and the death of their companions around them not only did not frighten them away, but rushed forward one by one with bloodthirsty and crazy faces.
The distance of three hundred paces was approaching in an instant, and when the slave army was no more than a few dozen paces closer, the archers had lost their room to play, and they replaced them with broadswords and spears.
"Drink!"
Looking at the approaching slave soldiers, the 2,000 soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion under the command of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao let out a neat cheer, and the military formation moved forward neatly and slowly, forcing towards the slave army that came to kill.
"Kill!"
"Ah~"
Soon, the brave and orderly Shaking Mountain Camp army and the scattered and crazy slave army fought fiercely, and the screams spread throughout the four fields.
