Chapter 181: Strange Car
The army rested for a day, buried the pot in the pot to cook on the fifth watch, and was about to set off at the sixth watch to enter Luocheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the army was assembled, a scout came to report: There is a large army of the Korean Mianguo in the direction of Tiantang approaching here, with about 50,000 people.
"Probe!"
Li Jin looked at the map spread on the table, Bai Yutang smiled and said: "Boss, don't look at it, the defenders of Longnan and Tiantang are afraid that Luocheng will fall and the back road will be cut off, so they have no choice but to divide their troops to contain us." ”
Contain? Damn, since he was sent to the door, he was going to be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth!
Li Jin smashed his fist on the table and issued a series of orders, the previous plan remained unchanged, but the time for the storming of Luocheng was delayed, and Zhang Qi led 10,000 cavalry troops into Vice-Luocheng
Contain the defenders of Luocheng, so that they do not dare to send troops, and then, concentrate their forces, and first swallow the enemy army from the direction of Tiantang.
Longnan and Tiantang pass are the dangerous key places in the south of the Mianguo of South Korea, there are heavy troops stationed for many years, there are 70,000 defenders in Longnan City, 60,000 defenders in Tiantang Pass, and now 50,000 are drawn, and the strength in the city has been reduced by nearly half.
If we can kill all these 50,000 soldiers and horses or block them to prevent them from escaping back to Tiantang Pass, it will be easier to attack these two dangerous passes in the future.
Bai Yutang and Zhang Qi had each led 10,000 cavalry troops, and Li Jin estimated that the enemy army coming from the direction of Tiantang was about to arrive, and he also led the army out of the city and set up a position under the city.
The 50,000 infantry army was divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, the front army set up a large shield, hid a hundred thunder chariots, 10,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks, and 10,000 cavalry as reserves.
Under the bright sunshine, the 80,000-strong army stood still, the battle flag fluttered like the sea, the steel knife was like snow, the spear was like a forest, the army was prosperous, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
In addition to the fact that the cavalry was personally trained by Bai Yutang and had strong combat effectiveness, these 70,000 soldiers who had only been running in for a few days had only a little better combat effectiveness than the rabble.
The night attack on the simple fortress, the attack on Bailin Pass, and the successive victories in the two battles have improved the confidence of these soldiers a lot, and their morale is also high, but I don't know how long it can last?
However, Li Jin is not in a hurry, even if it is a well-trained soldier, he must be slowly trained on the battlefield, as long as there are more than ten battles, this rabble will become an elite division.
As the scouts continued to make reports, the enemy troops coming from the direction of Tiantang got closer and closer, and finally, they could be seen from afar with the naked eye.
In the distance, dust and smoke were billowing and rolling towards this direction.
On the horizon, the fluttering full moon battle flag first appeared, followed by a group of soldiers, a large area of black pressure, all over the mountains, and the rolling dust and smoke raised covered the sky and the sun.
What surprised Li Jin a little was that the enemy army actually stopped at the foot of a small dirt slope two miles away and set up a defensive phalanx.
The generals who led the team did not have the desire to be greedy for merit and ordered the army to attack, but instead occupied favorable terrain and put on a defensive position.
The general of this unified army is a bit of a doorman, at least very cautious!
If you don't take the initiative to attack, then Lao Tzu will attack!
Li Jin ordered the army to slowly press forward and approach the enemy's position.
The small dirt slope occupied by the enemy was only a small raised hill on flat ground, but relatively speaking, it was also a favorable terrain, and if it was a normal attack, even if he was commanding an elite army capable of fighting well, it would inevitably be damaged.
Now, he relied on the long-range, terrifying Thunder Chariot, and there was no need to attack at all, just a few rounds of fire were enough to make the enemy's heart tremble and demoralize, and it was a good time to wave the army to attack.
The army advanced slowly, and the distance between the two fronts was only thirty paces before it stopped.
The Demon Moon Army is in a defensive formation, with the front army, the sword and shield hand in front, the archer in the center, and a few more steps forward, which is the effective killing range of the bow and arrow.
There is a cavalry wing on each side of the big array, and the battle flag is also fluttering like the sea, the steel knife is better than the sword, the spear is like a forest, the army is prosperous, and the morale is like a rainbow.
This is an elite division that has experienced a hundred battles, and its combat effectiveness is definitely several times higher than that of the miscellaneous army commanded by Li Jin.
If it was a duel under normal circumstances, although the army led by Li Jin was 30,000 more than the enemy army, the only chance of victory was left. Damn, when will Lao Tzu have a few elite invincible divisions?
Seeing that the morale of the enemy army was better than that of the previous party, Li Jin couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and ordered to attack.
The defensive phalanx, relying on a dense crowd to block the enemy's attack, is a hard-fought formation
It is very effective in ground warfare, crowded with people, back to chest, layer after layer, if you want to force a breakthrough from the front, it is generally impossible, to break the formation, you can only find fighters from both wings.
Under normal circumstances, the formation of the Demon Moon Army was also correct, but he didn't expect that his opponent would hide a hundred Thunder Chariots with long range and terrifying lethality in the front army formation.
As the herald conveyed Li Jin's order, the large shields in the first row of the front army were suddenly scattered, revealing a row of strange-looking thunder chariots behind.
The enemy army laid out a defensive formation, and the commander was ordered to contain the enemy as much as possible, not to let them attack Luocheng comfortably, and if necessary, to find fighters to defeat the enemy army.
Without the commander's order, the soldiers held their positions, just curiously looking at the row of strange-looking things, and there was a slight uneasiness in their hearts.
A series of loud noises whirring and whirring giant crossbow arrows with thick arms let out a terrifying roar, whistling through the dense crowd, exploding into the sky with a blood mist, and stumps and severed arms were thrown away.
The power of the impact of the huge crossbow arrows shot from the powerful machine spring was so terrifying that even the thick and hard city walls were penetrated by several inches, how could that big shield be able to stop it?
Giant crossbow arrows roared, shields shattered, blood mist flew, stumps and broken arms were thrown, and terrible screams were endless.
Only the first wave of attacks, the dense soldiers of the front military formation fell down a large area, and the ground in front of the formation was full of broken corpses, some of the corpses had no heads, some of their arms were gone, and some of them had a big hole in their chests.
The lethality of this weapon is so terrifying that the human body can stop it?
Hoohoo hoo one
The second wave of giant crossbow arrows fired, and the sharp roar of the crossbow arrows flying through the air had already made the soldiers of the Mianguo Kingdom of Korea tremble in horror and tremble.
Hundreds of arm-thick crossbow arrows roared into the somewhat chaotic crowd, and the blood mist exploded in the sky, and the stumps and broken arms were thrown away, and the heart-rending screams were endless.
The former military array of the Demon Moon Army had begun to be chaotic, but after all, it was an elite division that could fight well, and the soldiers who were already terrified all looked at their commander, and their commander was also shocked by the terrifying lethality of the giant crossbow arrows, and his face was colorless.
