557, breaking the formation and rushing the car, rushing the tiger car
"Knock knock knock...... "Kill! ”
With the beating of the war drums on the wall of Anhui County, accompanied by the swaying of the flag, the more than 10,000 Liu Xun soldiers in the army wall of Anhui County suddenly made a noise.
Soon the gate of the military village outside the city opened, and more than 10,000 soldiers rushed to the front of the military village like a few poisonous snakes under the urging of Liu Xun's generals and the marquis who led the troops.
Pang Yan saw that Liu Xun's army had come out of the military village, but he was not in a hurry, but he just commanded the sword and shield men behind him to form a circular defensive array, protecting the crossbow archers inside, but he slowly retreated.
On the surface, it seems that Pang Yan is afraid of the more than 10,000 Liu Xun soldiers killed in the military village, and he does not dare to stay here and fight hard, but in fact, Pang Yan wants to lead these Liu Xun soldiers to a wider battlefield, so that these Liu Xun soldiers can get farther away from the military village.
In this way, these Liu Xun soldiers can be attracted to the battlefield chosen by Zhu Wei's army, and the follow-up military tactics of Zhu Wei's side can achieve the best results.
"Rush, kill!"
More than 10,000 Liu Xun soldiers rushed out of the military village outside Anhui County, and under the guidance of several Liu Xun generals, they rushed out of the gate of the military village like a snake, and rushed in different directions, intending to besiege the three thousand soldiers brought by Pang Yan and swallow these soldiers in front of the military village.
But Pang Yan's side took Pang Yan as the core, constructed a circular military formation, and steadily retreated under Pang Yan's command, although it was soon besieged by more than 10,000 Liu Xun's soldiers, but Pang Yan's soldiers still did not panic.
Pang Yan calmly commanded at the core of the military formation, and while letting the sword and shield men on the periphery block the collision of Liu Xun's soldiers, he commanded the crossbowmen to shoot a puff of crossbow arrows at the rear of his own military formation.
With the help of the gap created by the crossbow arrows to shoot and repel Liu Xun's soldiers, Pang Yan continued to lead his troops to attract more than 10,000 Liu Xun's soldiers to retreat in the direction of his own army.
For a while, the situation on the battlefield was like countless ants gushing out of the nest, wrapped in a piece of brown sugar and slowly moving forward, and there were more and more ants surrounding the brown sugar, so the movement of brown sugar was getting slower and slower.
Pang Yan took 3,000 soldiers to the front of the battle to challenge, and it was about a stone's throw away from the military village outside the city of Nawan County, but it was about two miles away from the army where Zhu Wei was.
In this way, surrounded by more than 10,000 Liu Xun's soldiers, it is indeed not easy to withdraw to the side of Zhu Wei's army, and the soldiers killed by Liu Xun can also use hand shields and big shields to resist crossbow arrows, so that the three thousand soldiers on Pang Yan's side are wrapped and gradually unable to move.
Moreover, the circular military formation composed of 3,000 soldiers on Pang Yan's side was condensed, and compared with the more than 10,000 Liu Xun soldiers who were gradually increasing outside, it was also a somewhat inconspicuous appearance.
But even so, Pang Yan and his 3,000 soldiers still dragged more than 10,000 Liu Xun soldiers from the front of the military village to about a mile away from the military village, and had already entered the battlefield area originally chosen by Zhu Wei's army.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The core of the command of the military formation where Zhu Wei's army was located also beat the war drums of the attack, so on the side of Zhu Wei's main army, which was like a square, the armies also moved forward one after another.
Directly in the direction of the battlefield, two formation-breaking vehicles with a width of more than 20 paces and a height of about four people were launched from the Zhu Weijun formation.
About a person high below this broken formation rushing car is a shield wall wrapped in crocodile skin, but there are holes in the wall that pierce out a single eight spear spear with a cold light blade, making people dare not stand in front of the rushing car.
Through these holes, you can also see that there are more than 200 soldiers pushing the cart forward, and at the same time, each spear is also held by three or four soldiers, ready to stab at any time, and skewer any target they see into a sugar gourd.
On the second floor of this breaking formation, there were more than 60 crossbow archers, with the help of ladders of different heights under their feet, divided into three rounds and shot crossbow arrows through the gaps in the wooden pillars used to protect them in front.
This is a formation-breaking vehicle specially built by Zhu Wei's army to break through the enemy's military formation, in fact, the structure is very simple, and it can be used to impact the enemy's tight military formation, but it is very effective.
Of course, this kind of formation-breaking car needs the cooperation and protection of the surrounding army, otherwise once the enemy bypasses the front of the rushing car, then this kind of rushing car will have no effect.
Therefore, its significance is to help your own army tear through the defensive formation formed by the enemy's soldiers, so that the attacking soldiers who follow on both sides of the breakthrough car can take the opportunity to kill into the enemy's formation.
Of course, in addition to these two large formation-breaking vehicles that could break through the enemy's military formation head-on, there were also dozens of wheelbarrows at the front of several military formations of Zhu Wei's army.
This kind of front is a blade wall, and there is also a hole for soldiers to stab with a spear, which is the simplest formation-breaking device to rush the tiger chariot, which only needs to be pushed by almost a soldier, and can rush to the front and become a special surprise soldier to form a defensive army formation by assaulting the enemy.
The power of this kind of rushing tiger car to break through the enemy's frontal defensive formation may not be as powerful as the large formation-breaking rushing car, but it can help Zhu Wei's army break through the defensive formation composed of a small number of enemy troops after entering the enemy's army, and it can help Zhu Wei's army tear apart the enemy's formation inside the enemy army like a sharp blade.
These two battlefield instruments were developed by Zhu Wei as a means to break through the enemy's military formation in the field.
And around the Breaking Formation Rushing Car and the Rushing Formation Tiger Car, there were sword and shield soldiers holding ring-headed knives and double-arc hand shields, and they quickly followed the rushing car and the tiger car to charge forward, but they still maintained a relatively neat formation.
It looks like a step tactic that later generations charged with tanks, but in today's late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, it is definitely a rare new tactic.
Behind these sword and shield men were archers and crossbowmen, who steadily followed the charging infantry in front of them, and when they reached the range of the archers, the archers would stop at first, bend down and pull the strings, and throw a round of feathered arrows forward, the first to attack the enemy's formation.
The crossbow archers, on the other hand, continue through the passage given by the archers, and when they are within the effective range of the crossbow arrows, they will throw their crossbow arrows forward in turns, and then shoot arrows alternately.
It can be said that with the launch of Zhu Wei's army, the battle situation suddenly entered the situation of Armageddon.
Zhu Wei left only 3,000 guards and 3,000 auxiliaries of the White Feather Battalion by his side, and the other 8,000 sword and shield men and 5,000 crossbowmen had already killed on the battlefield.
The war drums carried by several carriages behind Zhu Wei at this time, under the beating of several drummers with big shoulders and round waists, emitted a deafening drum sound, directing the army in front to move forward, forward, and continue to move forward.
There are only Jia Xu and Sun Shangxiang guarding Zhu Wei, and even Zhou Yu and Huang Gai have already gone into battle, directly in front of the battle to command the army to rush and kill, and when necessary, they are the sharp blades that break the enemy's charge......
