Chapter 261: Mandarin Duck Array (2)

Beside Zhong Ziang, several generals with troops seemed to have been punched hard, and their faces were different. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoSome people have purple faces, and some people seem to have been drained of blood in an instant, and their faces are pale. In the same way, everyone has a deep fear in their eyes.

In a decisive battle in the wilderness, infantry against cavalry is a dead word. What's more, the backing army on the opposite side gave them a profound lesson in the Battle of Lizhou a while ago.

They were completely frightened by the enemy.

The enemy cavalry continued to rush in, advancing fairly smoothly at first, but at last it became faster and faster, gradually spreading out, like a large net head-on.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, hurry up and run away on horseback!" An officer screamed in panic: "It's too late, quickly order the whole army to retreat, go one by one." ”

Yes, now they have been drawn to this open field, and there is no wide river around them to sail. There's no way to hide in the water, and people can't outrun their legs anyway.

The enemy cavalry continued to rush in, advancing fairly smoothly at first, but at last it became faster and faster, gradually spreading out, like a large net head-on.

White armor, sturdy horses, red eagle flags.

The murderous Grim Reaper.

This is a strong army, and most of the troops are old men from the Western army. They fought with the Dangxiang people since childhood, fought hard with the Khitans, and used knives with the Jurchens. Since coming to the west last year, he has beheaded Kong Yanzhou, beheaded Li Hong, and destroyed Zhang Yong, and defeated Cao Cheng. Now it has swept the entire Lizhou, which is the essence of the main field army of the Great Song Dynasty in the centenary of the founding of the country.

Zhong Ziang suddenly became furious, whipped the officer's face, and roared: "What about the cavalry, there are farmland all around, the land is soft, and the horse's hooves will break immediately as soon as they step on it." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there are only two or three hundred of them, and we have a thousand. Formation, meet up, the Great Ming Zun will bless us humble and pious servants! ”

Before his order could be delivered, the Beiwei army had already been completely unfolded, fiercely interspersed with the Manichaean army that was also scattered across the ridges and various fields.

With a roar, they jumped off their horses and slaughtered their opponents with a squad of twelve.

"Whew!" One stretched his wolf forward to block the manichaeans who pounced, and the spear behind followed suit, smoothly piercing the enemy's chest.

If the enemy after being shot is not dead for a while, the round shield hand in front of him suddenly takes a step forward, and the big knife in his hand falls, easily cutting off the head of one level.

Crushing a squad of enemies, the team marched two more steps forward at the captain's command, and began the next round of massacre.

The sound of "boom" continued, and the last archer of the team pulled out the hard bow and couldn't stop shooting.

In the blink of an eye, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and everywhere there were screams of fallen Manichaeans.

When the Manichaeans gathered a large group of men and horses to detour back to the rear of this strange formation, the Beiwei army changed formation, and the two wings of the triangle opened violently, and another spear stabbed together.

When the enemy was routed, they shrank together again.

More than 30 small formations shrank their wings one by one, like more than 30 eagles soaring on the battlefield.

That's right, this is the mandarin duck array that Wang Shengang asked the soldiers to practice skillfully.

This murderous military machine, which was most suitable for narrow terrain and squad combat in later generations, appeared on the battlefield of Hunan in the Southern Song Dynasty hundreds of years in advance, rolling up the rain of blood.

In the blink of an eye, everywhere was stained red with human blood, and everywhere there were fallen thieves, and the moans were overwhelming.

"How so?" Zhong Ziang's eyes widened as he looked at the world in front of him, which had become a slaughterhouse.

Yes, the enemy is not very numerous, only about three hundred. However, their next tactics are hard to believe. I thought that these 300 armor soldiers would attack on horseback, and a cavalry would definitely come to charge into battle.

He also thought of a way to deal with this, relying on soft farmland and difficult terrain to resist gradually until the enemy lost speed. Cavalry without speed is inferior to infantry.

However, the enemy dismounted at the same time and fought on foot, and more than 300 people immediately dispersed, but surrounded himself with more than 1,000 men and horses.

These damn monsters are so tight that no matter how desperately the Manichaeans fight back, they will be easily killed.

The efficiency of the enemy's slaughter of his own soldiers is simply too high, and if it continues like this, the morale of the troops will completely collapse, and a major rout will be inevitable.

"No!" Zhong Ziang shouted: "Personally guard the guardian team, immediately rush up and kill the Sizhou thief for me, kill, kill!" ”

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the pseudo-"Great Chu" country, he naturally has an elite guardian team around him. There are about two hundred in total, well-equipped, all of them are bandits and water bandits, with strong martial arts, ruthless hearts, and brainwashed by doctrine into a fierce death squad that is not afraid of death, which is the essence of the army of the Great Chu State.

However, the number of the guardian team is limited, and there are only about 2,000 people in the entire Great Chu, and the vast majority of them are led by their fathers.

And because it was not easy to get, he was reluctant to put it into battle even in the previous battle.

But at this moment, the situation was already dangerous, and Zhong Ziang couldn't care about that much, and shouted hoarsely.

Hearing his order, the three hundred or so Guardian Guardian soldiers gathered around Zhong Ziang shouted at the same time, and fiercely rushed towards a group of Mandarin Duck Array soldiers who were approaching them.

The cathars were dressed in leather armor and armed with spears, steel knives, and other sophisticated weapons, in stark contrast to their ragged companions who carried only a rudimentary farm implement.

On the other side, there were only thirteen soldiers in the back army, and they suddenly faced the onslaught of more than three hundred enemies, and the formation was extremely weak.

However, the thirteen soldiers of the backslaught army did not have the slightest fear on their faces, and instead of retreating, they slowly pressed forward.

A long arrow shot out from the back of the mandarin duck formation, sinking deep into the chest of an escort soldier, and before he could cover his chest, his body had been pushed to the ground by his companions who were surging from behind.

Niu Gao put another arrow on his bow and shot it forward without hesitation, reaping another human life.

That's right, he traveled for a day yesterday, and finally met Yue Yun at night, where the army met and ambushed Zhong Ziang.

After the Beiwei army entered Hunan, it changed its tactics and used squads against squads. Not to mention Niu Gao, even Yue Yun is now going down to the grassroots level to be a team leader. Originally, Yue Yun also asked him to lead a team. It's a pity that Lao Niu feels that he has just entered the Sizhou Army for two days, and he doesn't know anything about the tactics of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Therefore, he handed over the command to the original captain, and he took a bow and stood at the end of the formation.

Niu Gao is a rare marksman in the Sizhou army, and immediately shot out a series of arrows, shot out three arrows in one go, and the arrows hit.

It's a pity that such a rate of fire did not stop the enemy in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, the red-eyed guardian team had already rushed to the small array. The demons at the front shouted and waved the big knives in their hands and slashed at the front brand.

"Stand!" Amid the shouts of the officers, the two signmen in front of the formation raised their shields at the same time.

"Wolf hand, block!" The officer shouted in the usual training tone, and his voice appeared unusually steady. This kind of training has been repeated thousands of times in the past, and it has become the subconscious of the soldiers.

The two wolf hoops stabbed forward violently, and the weapons that were exaggerated like umbrellas slammed forward, propping up in front of the two armies.

The two Guardian soldiers at the front were about to start the most accurate block and slash, but at this time, they felt that their eyes were full of shiny blades, and their way was completely blocked. Even if you want to attack, you don't know how to start. I had to cut the weapon in my hand indiscriminately forward.

"Spear-thorn!"

At the officer's command, the spearman next to the wolf's hand let out a loud roar, and the spear in his hand pierced out like lightning.

The two Guardian Corps soldiers who rushed to the front were held up by wolves with weapons in their hands, and behind them were their companions, who had no room to move and dodge, so they had to watch as the two spears stabbed neatly into their chests.

The cries of pain were terrifying, and the two spearmen skillfully turned the barrels of their guns, crushing the enemy's internal organs and slamming them away.

Two strands of hot human blood marked out, hit the shield, and splashed all over the sky.

The two men stared at each other and took a step forward, and the man with the round shield roared, and the giant axe in his hand slashed out, slashing at the door of an enemy's face, and white brains gushed out.

"Enter!" The officer's voice rang out.

The other ten soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Formation took a step forward at the same time, closely bonding with the brand player in front of them.

There were too many enemies, and in the blink of an eye, they had already poured into the flank of the Mandarin Duck Formation. It's a pity that waiting for them on both sides are two boring palladium.

After the two boring palladiums resisted the onslaught of the enemy, the spears pierced out again, reaping two more lives.

At this time, I saw Zhong Ziang's handsome banner, and the other four mandarin duck formations came over, and Niu Gao and them formed a triangular pyramid formation, moving forward little by little.

Niu Gao continued to shoot continuously, and his fingers were already hot from the high-speed shooting. Since he saw the strength of the Mandarin Duck Formation on the field yesterday and was embarrassed, he is extremely looking forward to the performance of the Mandarin Duck Formation on the battlefield.

I also know that this array is very evil, but I don't want it to be so evil at this moment.

I saw that the five small formations were moving while changing their formations according to the situation on the battlefield.

The hour becomes five triangles running side by side, and sometimes the sides form five small squares in parallel. Sometimes separated, sometimes connected.

Sometimes, a small formation is in front of the protrusion, and another small formation that is in line with it moves flat to the side.

It's really ever-changing, and it's dazzling to watch.

Such a queue can only be described as magic, and I don't know how Wang Daosi practiced it.

By now, the enemy had been stabbed to death by at least thirty or forty people by the spearmen, but the side of the Beiwei army was ...... There was not a single casualty...... How can a battle be fought like this...... Niu Gao's heart was shocked, and the bow in his hand stopped unconsciously. It was only at this time that he fully saw the power of this mandarin duck array.
