Chapter 152: The Turmoil of the He Clan (34)

The drums were loud, accompanied by the inspiring war drums, and the ranks of the Yu soldiers gradually gathered together to form a tight military formation.

The army of 20,000 Yu tribes spread out for three miles, and the desolate autumn colors swept the beige banner of the Liao army, like a sand city storm swept away towards the gentle slope.

This is the first major war since Yu Yansong surrendered to Liao, in order to win the favor of the Liao army and stabilize the status of the Yu people in the Liao State, Yu Yansong can be said to have made a bloody investment. The 20,000 soldiers of the Yu tribe who went out this time were the most elite and powerful men and horses selected from the private soldiers of the Yu tribe.

The soldiers of the Yu nationality were in good order and pressed towards the position of the Wu people.

"Array!"

In the face of the strict formation of the Yu soldiers, Wu Tingzhen did not show weakness and ordered to form a formation against the Yu people's world-famous sharpshooter phalanx.

Suddenly, the horn sounded loudly on the gentle slope, and the Wu soldiers who had already prepared quickly formed a formation, according to the traditional formation, the front row of sword and shield soldiers, then the pikemen, and the last row of archers, musketeers and sharpshooters lined up in formation to meet the Yu soldiers.

Looking away from afar, between the two gentle slopes, the flags are in the wilderness, and from time to time there are geese sweeping across the sky, making a long sound.

A large field battle began.

The drums and howls in the Wu army formation sounded like thunder, and the stormy arrows, flying stones, and logs flew out of the Wu army formation. It was overwhelmingly rolled towards the tight military formation formed by the soldiers of the Yu clan.

This war is about the honor and disgrace of the two tribes, and there is no need to be too much encouragement, no need to drive away the whipping, and the soldiers of the two tribes are full of strength and spirit

Big arrows, flying stones, and logs rolled into the military formation formed by the soldiers of the Yu nationality, causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Wu nationality.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and after entering the range of the archers and the firecrackers, Wu Tingzhen ordered the arrows to be released to trigger the firecrackers. A dense rain of arrows poured down and shot at the military formation of the Yu private soldiers. Seeing a dense rain of arrows pressing towards their own military formation, the Yu soldiers raised their big shields above their heads and propped them above their heads to meet the rain of arrows from the Wu soldiers.

"Fuck." Wu Zhenfei saw that the soldiers of the Yu clan were not afraid of life and death, and they still did not flinch in the face of such a dense rain of arrows, and pressed to the gentle slope to feel unprecedented pressure, "Yu Yansong, this lackey, used to fight Liao dogs with him, he didn't fucking work so hard, he charged behind us, and retreated ahead of us." Being a lackey of the Liao State is like beating chicken blood, so hard, so desperate. Hell yes. ”

For more than ten years of the Wu and Yu clans fighting together, the two sides cooperated and fought together, looking at each other to take the lead, hiding behind their backs to pick up cheap, this kind of practice of harming others and benefiting themselves has repeatedly made the former Manshu army get an opportunity to take advantage of, and even seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. For a few days, the former comrades-in-arms fought face-to-face, but they were extremely red-eyed.

Wan Yanfu watched with great interest the soldiers of the Yu clan and the soldiers of the Wu clan fighting in formation. Wanyan Fushen conquered Menggu in his early years, and later switched to Liaodong to fight with the Zhao army, but the battles experienced by Wanyan Fushen were mostly cavalry against cavalry and cavalry against foot soldiers. The field battle of a large infantry army was the first time he had seen it in his life.

Wan Yan Fushen had to admit that the foot soldiers who had undergone strict training showed good combat effectiveness, at least the infantry phalanx of the two armies in front of him gave Wan Yan Fushen a great shock. In the past, Wanyan Fushen led his troops to encounter the phalanx of infantry soldiers of the Dazhao Zhen Army, and most of them were loose and collapsed, and they knew that they had no combat effectiveness when they looked at it from a distance. Wanyan Fushen basically led the cavalry to crush the opponent's army formation with a charge, and began to kill and harvest the Zhao army by lifting the butcher knife in his hand.

This was based on the fact that the Zhao soldiers were loose, unorganized and undisciplined, and it was easy for the Liao cavalry to win against the Zhao army's infantry phalanx. The two harshly trained infantry phalanxes in front of him were different, and against such a infantry phalanx, Wan Yan Fushen didn't know what the probability of winning with a fully organized Liao cavalry was.

Wan Yan Fu was secretly glad that the Wu and Yu tribes were not in harmony before, and the two families fought each other in the army of the Manshu tribe for more than ten years, and did not give full play to their due combat effectiveness, otherwise, how could the Manshu tribe easily win the Liaodong War in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, and how could they enter most of the Liaodong region?

Yu Yansong was fully clothed, covered tightly from top to bottom, and charged on the front line to command the Yu soldiers to fight. After paying a huge price in casualties, the Yu Clan's phalanx was recommended to a place about a hundred steps away from the Wu Clan's defensive phalanx.

The distance of about a hundred steps is not far, and the soldiers of the Yu clan can already see the soldiers of the Wu clan in tattered clothes.

Since the battle, this was the first time that the soldiers of the Yu nationality had witnessed the appearance of their opponents. The entire army of the Yu clan, including Yu Yansong, did not know until now that his opponent was an old comrade-in-arms who fought against the Liao army together, a soldier of the Wu clan. When they saw the other party's military appearance for the first time, the soldiers of the Yu clan were a little shocked, which part of the Zhao army would have such good combat effectiveness in these tattered clothes and called Huazi-like army.

"Archers! Firecracker! Sharpshooter! ”

"Put!"

When the Yu phalanx came within range of the archers and firecrackers, Wu Tingzhen ordered the arrows to be fired.

The sound of fried beans was mixed with the whistle of sharp arrows, and the rain of bullets and arrows smashed into the military formation formed by the private soldiers of the Yu clan.

The Yu shield who rushed in front held the shield to block, and the Yu sharpshooter who hid behind the shield raced against time to give the sharpshooter arrows, ignited the fuse, and fought back.

Thousands of rockets were fired at the Wu soldiers with the thrust of the gunpowder explosion. The Wu soldiers lacked shields, and the arrows of the swordsmen and spearmen who did not hold the shields in the first row were swept away.

The soldiers of the two clans shot at each other like this, but it was obvious that the number of sharpshooters on the Wu side was not as large as that of the Yu people, and the Wu soldiers were at a disadvantage in the fierce battle, and the casualties were far greater than those of the Yu soldiers on the opposite side. The Wu soldiers, who lacked defensive equipment, almost collapsed.

If it were not for Wu Tingzhen, Wu Zhenfei, Wu Zhenwu, the core figures of the Wu clan, who were not in the formation, the Wu army at this time would have already collapsed. In the face of huge casualties, few armies can withstand huge casualties without collapsing.

"Hold on!" Wu Tingzhen's body was densely covered with a bunch of arrows, but fortunately, Wu Tingzhen's military robe was covered with two layers of chain mail, these arrows were hung on Wu Tingzhen's body, and did not cause substantial damage to Wu Tingzhen, at most, the arrows of several powerful Taoist soldiers pierced Wu Tingzhen's surface skin through the two layers of chain mail.

Wu Tingzhen, who was like a hedgehog, waved his waist knife to block the arrows, and tried his best to force the Wu soldiers: "Hold on!" The lackeys of the Yu family are running out of gunpowder! ”

The army formation of the Wu soldiers barely supported and did not collapse, but under the rain of arrows from the Yu sharpshooters, the army formation of the Wu soldiers was crumbling. (To be continued.) )
