"Lord Winchsch! Why don't you wait for the chief of the Nebuzon garrison to have definite news before attacking? The adjutant general saw that the Zhou army might be an elite, so he cautiously asked tentatively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What are you waiting for? Just send someone to urge it! We defeated the Zhou army on the frontal battlefield, Nebusong had a strong army, and taking the pontoon bridge would just cut off the retreat of the Zhou army, so there was no need to wait for them. ”

Wen Qishi disagreed, and after watching the Zhou army's formation for a while, he decided to test the defensive ability and combat method of the Zhou army's infantry formation first, and transferred two thousand-strong teams to attack the sharp corners of the Zhou army's infantry formation on the left and right, because normally speaking, the outer corner of the front is the worst defensive place.

The two thousand household chiefs were ordered, and each led a thousand horsemen out of the formation for a while, and accelerated with a wave-like echelon cone formation, and pounced on the Zhou army's infantry formation. But as soon as there was movement here, the officers of the Zhou army shouted, and a passage suddenly opened in the infantry formation, and a team of about hundreds of crossbowmen rushed out of it, quickly lined up in four horizontal rows in front, and raised the crossbow machines in unison.

The head of the thousand households knew the armor-piercing ability of the strong crossbow, and immediately ordered the whole army to raise their shields, and just approached one hundred and fifty paces before encountering a round of arrow rain, which clanged and clanged, but the cone position in front of his own soldiers was equipped with ring lock armor and shields, and the arrows overturned only dozens of horses.

To one hundred and twenty steps, the penetration of the two-wheel crossbow bolts is very strong, and the arrows in the front row can still carry it, but the middle and rear positions are mostly heavy leather armor, and the soldiers in the middle and arrow tripping hundreds of horses. At 90 or 60 steps, more than 300 horsemen fell, and although they were able to fight back, they did little damage to the crossbowmen of the Zhou army. And when they finished shooting, they spread their feet together and ran to the side.

Several rounds of strong crossbow attacks caused their own troops to be reduced by half, and the galloping horse team was not only much looser, but also panicked the soldiers. The head of the thousand households was secretly frightened, and for a moment his heart flashed, he was determined to persuade Lord Wen Qishi to be careful.

At this time, there was another roar from the Zhou army's infantry formation, and a series of loud iron-wood collisions sounded the horse rejection array with guns and shields in an instant, but it was a little different from the general horse rejection formation, divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer is a flat square shield that is half shorter than the ordinary oar, only chest high, and the two notches on the top are just two children's arm-thick repulsion rifles, and the shield is stretched out to be how long.

The upper layer is a large round shield in the shape of a turtle shell covered with raw cowhide, and there is a raised half-foot long spear in the center, which has an unloading effect on swords, guns and arrows. Because it is circular, the gaps in the four corners of each shield are rejecting pistols, and the whole large array is like a big hedgehog shrunken up.

At this time, the speed of the war horse has been increased to the extreme, and when it rushed close to thirty steps like a thunderbolt, there was a loud roar on the opposite side, and then the air was dark, and there was a whirring whistle in the air, and a black shadow was rapidly approaching, and there was a miserable howl on the left and right, followed by a big chaos, and the people rolled and rolled on their backs, rolling up the dust.

The head of the thousand households quietly found that the horse team was a lot sparse, and the remaining hundreds of horses finally crossed the death line and crashed into the shield wall in front of them.

The head of the thousand households in the center felt a chill, suddenly turned his horse's head and ran away to the side, and turned to flee, followed by more than 100 horsemen, and the comrades in front obviously couldn't come back, two or three waves hit the shield wall, almost all of them delivered food, rolling and wailing under the shield wall.

The head of the thousand households was frightened, and looked at the team that rushed to the right of the Zhou army, and the situation seemed to be similar, and there were only more than 100 horses left to run back. The head of the thousand households only felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was about to report to Lord Wen Qishi when he returned from the horse, and he didn't want him to be a whip head-on, which made the head of the thousand households aggrieved, and he couldn't say a word.

"You two shit! Lose me two thousand rides! Winkishi roared angrily, a round of temptation to damage the soldiers is small, and it is the big trouble to lose morale. At that moment, he shouted angrily: "Someone! Pull these two idiots down and cut them down! ”

"Lord Winch, spare your life! I've done our best......" The head of the thousand households turned pale and begged for mercy unwillingly, but it was useless, and he was quickly beheaded in front of the army by the wolf-like tent guard. His head was then picked up by the tent guards with spears in hand, and galloped back and forth outside the large army formation, and his head was displayed to the public.

"Warriors of Michuan City! The Zhou army wants to occupy our pastures, rob our horses, cattle and sheep and property, and plunder our wives and daughters, do you agree? "Wincsch had to take out the game himself and make another pre-war mobilization to boost the morale of the fall.

"No! Don't say yes! The soldiers let out a roar of rage, as if they were the guardians of justice.

"That's good! Warriors! Fight to the death with me and the Zhou army! The soldiers seemed angry, but Winchsch felt satisfied, and the military spirit was still available.

In order to avoid repeating the previous mistakes, Wen Qishi decided to change his tactics and transferred 4,000 light cavalry to divide into two teams, left and right, and marched to the Zhou army in two formations, and carried out cavalry harassment at a distance of seventy or eighty paces.

At the same time, 300 men and horses were transferred to the front army with heavy cavalry guarding tents and heavy horses wearing ring armor as the head of the front army, and the other 3,000 armor soldiers wearing ring lock armor followed closely behind, and together they served as the front army to directly take the front line of the opponent's Chinese army. In the end, 7,000 cavalry were the rear army, even if the front army could not break the formation, but as long as it crashed into a notch, the rear army would have a chance to break the enemy, and the chance of victory was still very large.

On the battlefield, the distance between the two armies is less than two miles, the other party's movements can be seen, the Zhenyuan army won a small victory, at this time the morale is booming, the left and right two sharp corners, two teams of soldiers came out to mend the knife, and the men and horses who rushed into the battle were cleaned up one by one.

The official subordinate strength of the Zhou army's infantry formation was indeed 7,500 people, Xue Wenqian led the first and third regiments as the left army, Zong Jingcheng led the fifth and sixth regiments as the right army, Yan Chengwang and Du Ximi led the fourth regiment as the front army, and Xuan Chongwen led the second reinforced regiment of Li Duofu and Song Lingguang with 2,500 people as the Chinese army.

The reason why the reinforced regiment is the Chinese army is because the other regiments have been equipped with new weapons such as knives, guns, bows and crossbows, as well as cold-forged fine scale armor and mountain pattern armor, while although the reinforced regiment is also strong in combat power, it has not been redressed in Liangzhou, and it is relatively safe as a Chinese army.

"Look! The Fan Cavalry is about to launch a general attack, does the Chinese army want to support the front army? "The front army has only one regiment of horizontal formation, which seems to be a little weak, and Li Duofu is worried that the front army will not be able to carry it.

"Transfer the scout battalion and my personal soldiers, a total of 800 people, to the front of the front army and the front of the Chinese army, just in case! You also go to the front and take command, and the Chinese army can be put into battle, but it cannot be shaken. Wen Qishi's whole army pressed on, and Xuan Chongwen also felt that the front army was a little choked.

Soon, the two Hebei Fan cavalry teams rushed to harass back and forth, but Xue Wenqian and Zong Jingcheng were each equipped with a hundred horned bows and crossbows, and wooden single crossbows, and immediately called out crossbowmen to fight back.

And the front military horse team of Wen Qishi also began to start, slowly trotting and accelerating, and the three hundred heavy horses at the head of its cone immediately attracted Yan Chengwang's attention. (To be continued.) )
