Chapter 159: The phalanx attacked, stabilized the formation

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Death Battle!! ”

When he was about to fight, the main general showed his own bravery, personally attacked, and made the soldiers under his command look intently, and when they saw his clean and neat blades, they all roared in unison, and their morale was quickly boosted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This thief is a little evil, but if you want to fight, why should I be afraid." Ai Wannian pulled his own mount, and looked at the fire in his heart, how could there be such a person who did not abide by the rules of the army formation, and the two armies did not fight and did not kill him!

But he didn't dare to attack rashly, after all, the formation on the opposite side was not chaotic, and the morale was in the upper hand, so he just stared at the whole field, as if he wanted to find a flaw, and after only waiting for a while, he seemed to know it in his chest.

Then he recruited all the generals under his command, and said bluntly, "I look at its formation, end to end, everywhere guarded, but I don't hear the essence of the art of war, I want to break through the formation with elite soldiers, break its point, the armies just move forward, first remove the thief artillery array, then the enemy brigade will move, a move will be chaotic, chaos will change, then the whole division will attack, the enemy will not be able to hold, so, the big thing can be done, the battle will be won!" ”

Ai Wannian is worthy of being a good fighter, he has developed a pair of fiery eyes after a long time on the battlefield, and he can see the weakness of Li Jing's formation at a glance, but it is a pity that he can get it, Li Jing is strong against strong, and uses the strongest one to attract the officers and troops to attack, and the home team instead acts as a number-maker, only waiting for the main force of the official army to be exhausted by the artillery array, and then offsetting the training advantage of the official army with a numerical advantage.

In this way, according to Ai Wannian's plan, the officers and troops immediately pressed the formation with 500 cavalry to deter the thieves and soldiers from daring to attack, and the remaining more than 1,000 people, except for the 200 or so people who stayed behind in the middle army, the remaining 800 infantry troops, without the slightest fear, began to assemble in a formation at a distance of 500 paces before the big array, with two general flags as a formation, a total of eight formations, and marched in two formations to prepare for an attack.

At the front of the team, ten tiger squatting cannons with the army had been taken out from the mules and horses, each cannon weighed about 100 catties, and the firing range could reach seventy or eighty paces.

Followed by the two most elite soldiers of the official army, wearing cotton armor and iron shields, holding waist knives behind, cautiously approaching the artillery array, and there were 20 chariots, mostly set up sand, with firearms and crossbows, placed on them, using sand to block the long-range attacks of the thieves, and then suppressing the thieves' infantry and providing firepower reinforcements for the soldiers who charged into the formation.

Just waiting for everything to be arranged, under the order of the Lingqi, the entire 800 officers and soldiers broke away from the formation and began to slowly advance towards the location of Li Jing's artillery array, silently along the way, no one dared to look around, even if there was a trick, they did not dare to cheat and play tricks in this situation, after all, the five hundred cavalry under Ai Wannian also followed the left and right, and began to press the formation.

The tense atmosphere gradually spread among the two armies, and the depressing and almost desperate atmosphere of the coming of the big war really made people kick out of breath, and there were even more soldiers who went into battle for the first time, their bodies trembled violently, and their palms were full of sweat after a while, and they could barely hold their weapons.

"Hold your ground, don't panic!" An urgent roar, one after another in Li Jing's various phalanxes, those team leaders, even the chiefs, played their role at this moment, and when they met the frightened faceless soldiers, they would go up and scold heavily, "Think about your wives and children, they now have a share of the land and live a life of human beings, such a day is what we earn with our lives." ”

There is also a team rate with a higher level, forcing the soldiers to calm down at this moment, and roared, "If you die in battle, you will beg the army to support your family, and if you run away, the whole family will suffer!" O brethren! We all know that the lord is benevolent and righteous, and never treats meritorious brothers badly, if anyone dares to pretend to be a grandson at this time, he will ask the whole family to ask for guilt! ”

"Steady, don't mess up, shoulder to shoulder, no military order, no arrows, violators will be killed!"

But after all, the training is insufficient, and the soldiers under Li Jing's command, at this moment, a few of them can't stand the strong battlefield pressure, and they are almost crazy, and they can't stop fleeing, but unfortunately the cavalry team of the tragic battle saw it, and got Li Jing's order, and did not hesitate to catch up directly with a burst of slashing, and took the head and hung it on a wooden pole erected about one zhang high, warning in front of the battle.

On the one hand, after joining the beggar army, every family has divided the land, and there is finally a hope for the future, and the military salary and food are also paid every month, and the soldiers are finally grateful.

On the other hand, threatening the lives of the whole family, once there is a deserter, not only will they be beheaded on the spot, but they will also cause disaster to the family afterwards, confiscate the land, and make Ding Kou a slave, and there will be no peace, that is what makes people desperate.

These soldiers, which family is not extremely burdened, not only have wives and children, but also have fathers and elders to support, at this moment to run, suddenly even if they abandon the life of the whole family, left and right is also a death, it is better to die in the fight, after all, get a pension, the family can also live, thinking like this, and have to be a long one, the team rate from time to time in the ears of the warning sound, suddenly the entire phalanx began to gradually fall silent.

Li Jing sat on the horse, his palms were full of cold sweat, just when a few deserters fled, he felt that his heart seemed to jump out, if it collapsed, it was really a joke, the road to a strong army, must go into battle and put it right, if you can fight the army in a dignified manner, then what is the future, simply find a no-man's land to live in seclusion.

Now seeing that the army formation finally held on smoothly, he breathed a sigh of relief for a long time, but looking at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, his brows furrowed again, the most difficult test is coming, if he can survive this formation, he will be considered an army.

"Huh, huh~~" heavy kicking sounds, in the official and military phalanx for a while, those in the front of the official army, at the moment at the bottom of the heart is also very nervous, in the past with the thieves, almost never such a decisive battle in the phalanx, basically a rush to kill and then break up the pursuit of the drama, either the official army won easily, or heard the traces of the thieves, immediately escaped, how can there be such a worrying to put the fight!

As the distance approached to a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, the officers and soldiers who led the team, the general commander, the general banner and others, suddenly began to roar out one by one, "Steady your foot, steady your foot!" Slow down! The musketeers raised their guns, and the crossbowmen were on guard. ”

With this order, more than 200 people in the two leading army formations raised their guns and arrows, raised them in their hands, and their steps couldn't help but slow down, and they began to wait for the final attack order.

"Beat the drums, smell the drums and march!" Yao Jinren, the leading Shenmu Counselor General who was guarding under his command, didn't know what to say at the moment, and the thief army formation on the opposite side could vaguely see the outline, but he just raised his firearms and crossbows and aimed them at this side, and no one fired them without authorization, and his faces were staring at each other, which made him a little frightened.
