Chapter 65: Charging into battle
On the high platform, Ni Tao's pupils suddenly widened, and the expression on his face became shocked. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info unpredictable, and the counterattack of the Korean army happened to appear at this time-
Under that shocked look, Ni Tao inhaled a breath of cold air suddenly, according to Wu Ming's first advice, the cost of honing the soldiers in this method is really greater. However, the soldiers who have been honed in the weak actual combat should be the strongest in the future.
Turning around, he waved his hand to the thousand generals waiting on the side and ordered: "Almost, you take the remaining five thousand crossbowmen to move towards the left side of the army, waiting for the opportunity to block the continuous charge of the Korean army, remember to shoot only half of the crossbowmen each time, the force is divided into two parts, and the rain of arrows must be shot one after another." ”
"Yes."
The order was given, and several thousand men were to lead five thousand crossbowmen to move along the retracting left flank with great speed.
Ahead, the Wei soldiers under the cover of the first wave of the Korean army's longbow hurriedly raised the wooden shield that had been prepared long ago, the shield was carved from a single piece of hardwood, it was palm-thick, but it was not big, barely enough to fit the head and one shoulder, but this was enough in the army. If thousands of shields were put together, it would be enough to cover an area from the rain of arrows.
It's a pity that at this moment, the formation of the Wei army is in a state of contraction, and there are not many soldiers who can reflect it, and it is already good to be able to stabilize the formation. A rain of arrows fell, and there were at least more than 2,000 casualties in the Wei army, and this was because the strength of the Crane Wing Array was divided into left and right sides, if the Wei army also guessed the large formation of the fish scale array like the Han army, the number of dead and wounded would be more.
After all, there were 10,000 longbowmen in the phalanx of the Korean army. Compared with the Wei army's small-scale shooting, these 10,000 longbowmen are the real 10,000 arrows.
The dense rain of arrows fell overhead, and the arrows were like raindrops falling from high in the sky during a rainstorm, extremely fast and extremely dense. In just a few breaths, there were already whines among the Wei army.
In such a situation, if you do it a second time, the situation will only be worse. But fortunately, things didn't go that way.
Taking advantage of the moment when the arrow rain was covered, the four small infantry phalanxes at the head of the Korean army's formation began to charge with all their might, and in an instant, half of the arrow was deeply inserted into the huge wings of the Wei army.
Behind the 60,000 troops, Gong Zhong's extravagant eyes never stopped staring at the situation on the battlefield. Although the situation at this time seemed to be standing on his own, he knew in his heart that longbowmen were not like ordinary archers. The average archer could be trained from the new army, and the bow and arrow were easy to control.
The minimum standard for longbowmen is that each person has been in the army for at least five years and has at least three actual combat experiences. Among these two points, it is the second point, the probability of being able to go through three major battles without dying is very low in today's troubled times, especially for South Korea, which ranks first in combat effectiveness.
Many of the longbowmen were trained to the point where their backs were bent, and even when they walked, they had the same appearance as when they were archery.
Although the attack power of the longbowmen is strong, there are not too many soldiers, and the time to reload the arrows after each salvo is much longer than half of the bows and arrows, and the generals who command the arrows must have a certain ability to predict.
But at this time, following Gong Zhong's extravagant gaze, the soldiers of the four phalanxes rushing to the front had faintly entered the farthest range of the longbow soldiers, and they were like four wild horses that had lost their reins, and the distance between them and the rear of the entire formation gradually widened.
Looking down from the sky, the fish scale array no longer looks like fish scales. The formation of the South Korean army was also chaotic at this time.
The front army attacked too quickly and distanced itself from the rear army, which was a taboo in the battle formation, and at this time, the soldiers of the two armies were intertwined, and the longbow soldiers mixed with the Chinese army were almost useless. Empty and powerful, but unable to exert it.
The foot soldiers on both wings of the Wei army, who had just dodged the rain of arrows, also completed their contraction at this time, and the originally thin wings began to plump up at this moment, and the crossbowmen were all pulled to the rear of the soldiers holding Ge, and the whole team formed an echelon configuration in the middle of the wings on both sides. With this formation, the crossbowmen can take the opportunity to attack the Korean infantry trapped at the front.
At this moment, the soldiers in front of the wings had already surrounded the sides of the four phalanxes that the Korean army was rushing into.
Although it was a charge, fortunately, the 3,000 soldiers of the four phalanxes still maintained the shape of fish scales to advance, and the two phalanxes were in front but were maintained in the middle of the other two phalanxes that were quietly in the back, so the layout was the correct way to distribute the front army of the fish scale array.
The forward army is responsible for charging with all its strength to the command post of the enemy general, while the rear army is engaged with the enemy soldiers who are in the way. Originally, there was no problem, but at this time, because they attacked too quickly, the rear army could not be able to succeed, and there were big defects.
The soldiers at the head of the two wings of the Wei army simply let the two Han military formations at the front leave them alone, and let them continue to move forward, leaving only the two phalanxes near the rear on both sides to besiege and kill.
The long ges of the two swords were all raised high by the soldiers, and the sun shimmered with the same cold edge, the same dazzling.
With the sound of sonorous weapons intertwined, the Changge of the two armies fell almost at the same time in an instant.
The moment a Wei soldier put down the Chang Ge held high in his hand, the Han soldier's Chang Ge had already descended to his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly with anxiety, and he gasped sharply, his body subconsciously leaned back, but Chang Ge's fall was only in the blink of an eye, although he avoided the danger of being shot in the head, but there was still a blood mark on one side of his face.
A sharp pain came, causing the soldier's eyes to turn scarlet in an instant. Facing something, even if it is death, there will always be a lot less fear when facing it a second time.
He gritted his teeth and roared and clenched Chang Ge in his hand again, pulled out the Lian blade that was still inserted in the head of the Han soldier, and brought out a touch of blood at the same time, he stabbed Chang Ge out with all his strength, and the sharp blade on his head mercilessly pierced into the chest of another Han soldier under his strength. Bloodshed began to spread across the battlefield.
The soldiers at the forefront fought to the death. When they raised the Changge in their hands and smashed it down, the blades of the Korean soldiers landed vertically above their heads. Like the scythe of death, it seduces the soul and kills the soul.
The two ROK military formations that were in front of the attack continued to move forward without much hindrance. But just when they didn't travel far, the Wei troops on both sides shot another wave of crossbow arrows. Almost less than ten meters away, the power of the crossbow arrows has been exerted to the strongest, there is no suspense, three thousand crossbow machine salvo, in this not wide encirclement of the crossbow arrows are scattered and intertwined, a wave down, three thousand Han troops fell to the ground half.
