Chapter 54: The Battle of Pudong III

Crash and wait for a loud bang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In an instant, all the crossbow arrows were shot, and thousands of crossbow arrows were thrown into the guards' formation.

It's a pity that although there are thousands of crossbow arrows, they are scattered across the wide battle array of Rich, and it is no longer enough to see. Of course, hundreds of guards and soldiers fell in an instant. Dead or wounded.

But no one is paying attention to them at the moment.

Li Chen's subordinates, who had shot crossbow arrows, retreated from both sides in an instant. The long halberd of the guard army against the long halberd of the Qin army seemed to be two huge waves, slamming together.

In an instant, the sound of drums, the sound of weapons breaking, the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, the sound of screams before death. One after another. Almost in a few breaths, I don't know how many soldiers fell to the ground, and then they were trampled on by countless feet, if they were lucky, they had a chance to stand up, and if they were unlucky, they were in the center of the confrontation, and after falling to the ground, they would be trampled into a mess of rotten flesh in a few breaths. There's still a glimmer of life there.

Wei Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, the heavy reward promised by Wei Wuji before was useful, even if the moment the two armies clashed, the damage to the Wei army was not small, but in Wei Wuji's opinion, the damage was still acceptable.

Wei Wuji's biggest worry before was that no matter how well prepared he was before, as long as he saw blood in the fight, he would collapse instantly.

Fortunately, there is no worst outcome. On the contrary, it is much better than Wei Wuji's estimate, but I don't know if it is my own reward that has the effect, or whether the folk customs during the Qin and Han dynasties are so strong.

But this is not the time to think about it. Wei Wuji hurriedly adjusted his rhythm and ordered both sides to wrap Xiang Qin's army.

The Qin army outnumbered the Wei army, which is a real problem. Therefore, from the formation, it was seen that the formation of the guards was more than the formation of the Qin army, so Wei Wuji ordered, and the two captains at both ends of the guard army immediately wrapped them from both sides. Pressed from both sides.

The crossbowmen, who had withdrawn to both sides, were preparing to continue firing arrows at the guards.

Before he could shoot two arrows, he had to abandon his bow and crossbow, draw his long sword, and deal with the guards coming from both sides.

At this time, the bows and crossbows of the guards also began to exert their strength.

The equipment of the two armies of Qin and Wei is almost the same, and even the military uniforms are similar, because for Wei Wuji, the fastest way to form combat effectiveness is not anything else, but to reproduce the Qin army. Because there is an arsenal of the Qin army in Puyang City, and Wei Wuji has surrendered Qin army officers under his command, these people are very familiar with the Qin army. Moreover, the Qin army, as a famous military dynasty in ancient history, is by no means badly calculated. Whether in terms of efficiency or combat effectiveness, replicating the Qin army is the best way.

How could Wei Wuji not take this shortcut.

It's just that even if they take a shortcut, the guards can't compare with the training of the Qin army, just like just now, the Qin army was in the forefront of the bow and crossbow, and when the confrontation occurred, the two sides withdrew. The guards didn't dare to do that, because they couldn't do it at all.

The bows and crossbows of the guards were behind the guards, and one by one the crossbow arrows were shot into the air and thrown at the heads of the Qin army.

Countless Qin troops were nailed to the ground by arrows falling from the sky, but many guards who rushed too fast were accidentally injured.

The guards were filled with screams, and the Qin army gritted their teeth one by one, the green tendons on their hands collapsed, and the large array rushed out without any confusion.

Every moment someone fell to the ground and died, and every moment someone was trampled to pulp. Everyone in the battle formation gritted their teeth, and even though they were injured multiple times, they did not dare to fall to the ground.

Because to fall to the ground is to die.

Yang Xiong's eyes were sharp, and he changed formations in an instant.

The Qin army's formation shrank to both sides in a semicircle, and the crossbowmen were replaced in the marching formation.

Yang Xiong adjusted the formation again and again, and the Qin army's army formation and guards slowly stabilized under the impact of the first moment. Even the wounded soldier at the front can swap places with the soldier at the back.

The whole military array was like a sophisticated machine. Precise and ruthless.

Looking at the guards again, the formation was already slightly scattered, and they could only maintain a rough formation, and Wei Wuji didn't dare to give another order at all. For he feared that his men would not be at a loss at all.

In the final analysis, there is still little cultivation.

After more than ten days of intensive training, the army marched normally and defended the city, but it was still okay with the regular army, dignified and upright, and set up a formation, but it still owed fire.

Wei Wuji secretly said in his heart: "After this battle, we must definitely strengthen training. But he immediately suppressed the thought, because if he didn't win the battle today, there was no point in saying anything.

When Wei Wuji was worried about Wei Jun, Yang Xiong's face was as cold as frost.

Yang Xiong didn't look down on Wei Wuji because the guard's military formation was a little scattered, on the contrary, he looked down on Wei Wuji even higher. He climbed up step by step from the soldiers, and he understood the difficulty of this military formation, no matter how well he practiced below, as soon as he went into battle, he would go to eighty or ninety percent of the matter, and it would be good to be able to play one or two percent.

Such a situation is common in the new army. Therefore, countries never put the newly formed army into a formation into the battlefield, and always supplement the veteran with new soldiers.

Generally, the newly recruited troops are just guarding the city. But Wei Wuji was able to fight a new army for more than ten days with himself. It's already commendable.

Yang Xiong looked at the sun silently, and the two sides had been deadlocked for a while. Yang Xiong secretly said in his heart: "I need to fight quickly in this battle, and I can't be too stalemate, otherwise the physical strength of the soldiers may not be enough." ”

Yesterday's tragic siege battle can be said to have hurt the vitality of the Qin army, and the vitality here is not just about casualties and morale? And physical strength.

In ancient times, fighting a war was always a manual job. Yesterday's siege battle was even more of a physical work.

Yesterday, Yang Xiong made a desperate bet and attacked the city fiercely, and most of the Qin army did their best. With such hard work, physical strength cannot be recovered overnight.

Athletes also need to be disciplined in their training, not to mention desperate work at the end.

Therefore, today don't look at the battle between the Qin army and the Wei army, but Yang Xiong understands very well that the physical reserves of his soldiers are far inferior to the Wei army.

If you continue to fight like this, you will be physically exhausted after a long time.

Therefore, today, the Qin army did not attack first, but had to defend and wait for work. But that's not enough.

What Yang Xiong was thinking was exactly what Wei Wuji was thinking.

Wei Wuji knew that his subordinates were all recruits, even if they were friends of the Qin and Han dynasties, the people were still martial and fierce, so they could take a random place. It is an excellent source of soldiers for the next generation.

But the source of soldiers is only the source of soldiers, and new recruits are recruits. Wei Wuji had an estimate of the level of casualties suffered by his subordinates, not much, only a percent.

Wei Wuji estimated that even if there was a heavy reward and incentive, after the casualties of these soldiers were 10%, I am afraid that they would retreat uncontrollably.

Therefore, Wei Wuji must not defeat the Qin army head-on, and he estimates that it is impossible. I had to turn over my hole cards.

Wei Wuji's hole card is still a trebuchet.

The trebuchets used for defense in the city are all big guys, and they are not easy to move at all, but they specially explained that several trebuchets were built, and these trebuchets can be disassembled and combined, and they are very small.

Of course, these trebuchets have such benefits, but naturally there are drawbacks. The disadvantage is that the stone is emitted, and the power is very small. The range is very short, compared to the crossbow arrows, the power is not much, and there are only a few, although it is easier to move than the big guys, but it is still inconvenient to move in essence, and it cannot keep up with the large number of people.

It's been a long time since this side was ready, and it's been too late to get out of the city.

The person who came was none other than Huang Wan'er.

Wei Wuji's eyes widened and said, "Why are you here." ”

Huang Wan'er said: "If I lose today's battle, I will also die in the city, the same death, I am willing to die in front of you, besides, no one is more familiar with these thunderbolts than me." ”

A stream of heat surged in Wei Wuji's heart.

The four words of life and death have long been impossible in the increasingly developed modern era.

Wei Wuji also fantasized about living and dying with whom, but the older he gets, the less hope he gets. But at this moment, Wei Wuji was moved, even though he didn't have too deep feelings for the woman in front of him, but at this moment, he firmly remembered her identity.

My wife, my wife, my queen, my queen, and my woman.

And firmly engraved into his heart, eternal and unchanging.
