Chapter 746: Spear vs. Technique
PS: There is still a chapter in the evening, ask for a recommendation ticket!
……
"Listen to it, the formation is not allowed to be chaotic after the battle, and it is better to walk than to run!"
When he saw the enemy's oncoming array from afar, Ran Qiu was standing on the car, observing the battle situation and arranging the formation. The Qufu Lu soldiers he brought out were led by the military officers to stand in line according to the routine of the usual training, the former was wearing thick armor, the middle was light armor, and the last platoon was even without armor, the only thing in common was that everyone held a spear in their hands.
Three thousand spears, plus five hundred bows and crossbows, and five hundred shield swords, this is Ran Qiu's method of battle. The iron spear tip made of Peach Hill and the thick spear shaft of the bowl, they are like a moving forest, moving unswervingly towards the front.
And the soldiers of the Qi people's division also learned about the enemy situation from the passing car, and they had already lined up the array under the order of Lu Qiu Ming, looking at the Lu people's posture and looking at each other, the layers of phalanx did not look very easy to gnaw.
"The Lu people think that we are a weak brigade, and they deceive us and others." Lu Qiu Ming concluded that the Lu people did not dare to attack, and now that they were slapped in the face, they were not angry, but sneered and said: "But in this world, how can there be an army that will break the weak brigade?" ”
Qi people are known for their many technical strikes in his army, and they are good at hitting the enemy with short arms. The soldiers of the Luqiu clan, whether they were cutting Ju or Yan, or the Xiangting soldiers they encountered after entering Lu, were invincible with their skills.
"Listen to my orders, and those who win one will be rewarded with 100 swords!" Lu Qiu Ming let the left and right go down to spread the word, he did not participate in the battle of the snow field a few years ago, he had never encountered a strong enemy in his life, he swelled up greatly, especially looked down on the Lu people, and decided to kill this Lu soldier with less and more!
……
Getting closer and closer to the Qi people, Ran Qiu knew in his heart that this was the tip of the tail of the Qi army, and only by defeating them would the huge evacuation army of the Qi people turn back, so that the general's strategy could be realized.
"Line up, put your spears flat, and walk forward in unison!"
Ran Qiu waved the military flag, the herald Guan Zhou's father gave orders loudly, the military officials composed of military veterans were also yelling, and the roar of the soldiers was like thunder. Since they chose to go out of the city, they reported their thoughts on the first battle, and they were beaten by the Qi people for so long, and the soldiers also held their breath.
The drum division in the army beat the waist drum heavily, unifying the pace of the whole army, and the Lu soldiers stepped forward, and the spears stretched out flatly. In the first row, the second row, and the third row, the spears were flattened, and the spears in the back row were also tilted forward, pointing at the verdant green mountains in the distance, and the array of Qi people slowly walking towards them.
The Qi people were faster, they rushed in with a shout, and the leader was lightly armored and holding a sword, and also holding a round shield and a hook, all of them bravely took the lead.
In battle, the person who rushes to the front is the most risky, so the vanguard is the bravest in the team. In the Qi army, such a person is a technical attack.
They were originally light chivalrous and evil boys in Linzi City, and they were selected into the army because of their outstanding martial arts. In the era of Sima Sui Tho, technical attacks were only used as miscellaneous soldiers and death squads, but after Sima Sui Tho's death, there was gradually an atmosphere of advocating individual martial arts in the Qi army.
These techniques have never experienced the Battle of the Snow Field, and even if they hear about it, they don't think so, after all, that war was with the Zhao Jin soldiers as the main force, and the Jin people, the Qi soldiers were still a little frightened.
As for the Lu people? Influenced by Lu Qiuming, they were dismissive of the Lu people. In the impression of the technical fighters, the Lu people have always been timid and cowardly, and there are not many resists along the way, but the doctors who surrender can't be counted. On the contrary, those who served as small officials and the countrymen resisted fiercely, but to no avail, the Lu State lay down at their feet and could wreak havoc at will.
The cowardice of the Lu people, who have been shrinking inside since the Qi people forced the city and did not fight back much, proves that these Lu soldiers probably came out by luck, and once they are made to suffer a little, they will be frightened to surrender. Rushing in first is of course risky, but there are also benefits, Lu Qiu Ming has a reward in advance, and there is a reward afterwards, maybe he can catch a few more subordinate ministers who go back to work in the fields, it is too worth it for these life-fighters, and it is faster than going home to farm the land and the goods are worth the money. So they were all red-eyed, just waiting to rush into the Lu soldier array and kill them and cut off a few more heads.
But why is the spear on the opposite side still held straight? Why is the queue of sheep still so close that they don't disperse in a hurry? The crossbowmen among them were even methodically firing their bows to attack.
The rain of arrows fell, and more than a dozen people in front of him were shot by bows and crossbows and fell to the ground. The technical fighters are also in color, their archery skills are very good, and they can even shoot the bow while running, and the arrows are accurate, and many people in the Lu queue suddenly moaned with arrows, causing a wave of chaos, but soon restored order.
At this distance, the fighters could already see the distorted faces and trembling lips and teeth of the small soldiers of the Lu State on the opposite side, but what was strange was that no one threw down their spears and fled. The man who was hit by the arrow fell, drowning in the ranks that were still advancing, and their place was quickly filled by the back row, as if nothing had happened.
The excitement of the charge was gone, and instead of seeing the chaotic collapse and fear they had expected, the fighters were in a neat queue, as they had been and still were.
The first row of Lu people are all wearing armor, and they are covered tightly, this is heavy armor!
And what about the rows of spears? The people in the front row leaned so tightly, and the gap in the middle was filled by the tip of the spear in the back, how could this make people rush?
The technical attack that rushed to the front hesitated and wanted to stop, at least to avoid the phalanx with heavy armor and spears like a forest on the front side.
But one blow, and then three declines and exhaustion, without the leadership of Sima Sui Tho, the Qi people do not have so many rules to fight, and they often have to rely on the explosion of hot brains. Lu Qiu Ming took a breath of the idea of knocking out the momentum of the Lu people, so the drums did not stop, and the Qi people array behind kept shouting and rushed up in rows, and the technical attacks in front of him could not stop if they wanted to, so they could only be pushed forward by the people behind them, getting closer and closer to the iron hedgehog spread out in the field.
Finally, they met, and the first Qi Guoshu was tall and strong, with a face full of flesh, a sword in his hand, wearing leather armor, and a short sword in his hand that was wielded extremely fancy, and his movements were as fierce as an eagle falcon.
Seeing that there was no way to hide, he actually rushed over desperately, this person was indeed excellent in martial arts, he hooked his left hand to block two spears, took a step forward, and took the opportunity to stab one person to death. Just as he was about to draw his sword and cut the spear shaft on the side, he was unexpectedly stabbed by two spears head-on, and he hurriedly swung his sword to block, but there was still a spear stabbing obliquely. The leather armor on the body of the technique is okay to block the arrows, but the spear pierces directly but can't parry, not to mention the ribs, the black iron spear tip suddenly sank into the lower half of the ribs, making him scream in pain.
In the next moment, the tip of the spear was drawn, blood splattered, and this brave skill roared wildly, raising the short sword and hook inlay to pull the person's back, but after raising his hand, the chest and abdomen were wide open, and another spear pierced the throat. This time he couldn't jump anymore, and he landed on his back, lying directly on his back in the dust, clutching his neck and convulsing, and after a while he was motionless.
Something similar happened on the battle line, and it was excellent for a man like this to be able to rush in, and his companions had already been stabbed with spears in a bloody hole on the periphery, and they fell to death screaming!
The technique was brave, but it was sent so loosely, it couldn't shake the Lu formation at all, dozens of people died before and after, but there were only more than ten casualties on the opposite side, and nearly half of them were injured when they were stabbed and pushed.
Lu Qiu Ming realized that he was reckless at this time, but the matter had reached this point, and he could only hope to take advantage of the gap between the technical attack charge to disrupt the front of the enemy army, and let the Qi people in the rear pounce in.
He shouted: "The Lu people are bluffing, as long as they rush to the front, they can be defeated!" ”
Since the opponent's spear has the advantage in distance, then fight close and look for opportunities for hand-to-hand combat......
……
"Watch your step, raise your spear to assassinate once, align and then take the next step!" As Ran Qiu's herald, Guan Zhou's father shouted orders loudly, his voice was already hoarse, and the array of Lu people was no longer very neat, because the ground under his feet was uneven now.
There were already countless corpses under their feet, both the enemy and the Paozawa Township Party, which were uneven, and even became an obstacle to the advance of the array, and if they were not careful, they would be tripped up, and they could only step over slowly.
This kind of caution of the Lu people was regarded as hesitation and cowardice by the Qi people, and the front technique was assassinated or retreated in fear, but the trend of the brigade of Qi soldiers was still rushing inside, and the people in the back row did not even feel the stagnation in front. On the battlefield, there are not many people who can see the overall situation, and most people can only see the corner in front of them, so in different positions, everyone feels different hopes of victory and defeat.
But the general situation was unfavorable to the Qi people, and a group of unsuspecting Qi people rushed up, like beans sent into the millstone, which were quickly crushed, leaving only a bright red slurry and dregs, but the iron grinding disc stood still.
The technique is desperately chopping, relying on the past experience of fighting bravely and ruthlessly in various ways, trying to find opportunities, but no matter how to deal with it, they always have to face a few dozen spears alone, and the distance from the tip of the spear to the shaft of the spear provides a guarantee of safety for the Lu people. The number of archers of the Qi people is also not enough to hit the Lu soldiers hard, and at most they can open five or five with the opposite side. So slowly, the Qi people stopped rushing, they couldn't rush, but the Lu people pushed them back step by step.
Lu Qiu Ming's previous battles relied on the first to collapse, they were similar to mercenaries, and they were not professional soldiers like Zhao's military soldiers, but what should they do on weekdays, and they were recruited from the market before the battle. These men had no loyalty to the sovereign, and the soles of their feet were as fast as they were when they charged, and they soon scattered like birds, and although many of them did not escape the fire of the crossbows of the Lu soldiers, most of them escaped far away from the center of the battlefield.
The rest of the Qi soldiers were not so lucky, they were organized together to engage the Lu soldiers, but they found that the people in front were getting thinner and thinner, and they were instead in the front row, and countless spear tips pierced them, making it impossible for people to dodge.
"Invincible, retreat!"
The wails continued to sound, and after a close fight, the Lu army slowed down, and there was a gap of dozens of steps in front of the Qilu array, and the Qi people who rushed in front no longer retreated in small steps, but ignored the scolding of the military officials, and began to turn around and stride away.
"Are you going to lose?" Lu Qiu Ming was stunned on the chariot, a little incredible, these people are still the Lu people he has always looked down on? But the rout was unstoppable, and even if he killed three people in a row, it would be useless......
……
"Are you going to win?" Seeing that the enemy was about to disperse, Ran Qiu heard Guan Zhou's father beside him ask in a low voice, so he nodded to him and shook his head again.
They were about to win the battle in front of them, but that was only the appetizer of the whole battle. Ran Qiu knew very well in his heart that he had brought four thousand people out, taking advantage of the reckless mentality of Qi people, and using the spear array he was best at to teach them a good lesson.
But there are still nearly 10,000 people in the entire Qi army, and once they turn back, the Lu soldiers will fall into a heavy siege, and when the time comes, it will be the time to really test them.
But isn't that what he was looking forward to? Biting the tail of the Qi people, forcing the Qi army to turn around and stay, so that Zhao Wuxian could be annihilated in one fell swoop. What Ran Qiu has to do now is to try to defeat the enemy in front of him as much as possible, and there will be one less opponent for a while.
"Pursue, don't accept the pawn today, stab all the Qi people! It doesn't matter if they're facing or having their back to the spear! (To be continued.) )
