Chapter 268: Offensive and Defensive Encounters

Under Zhang Ding's command, all the soldiers of the Song Empire vigilantly walked in the rock mass formed by these chariots similar to the Mongolian ancient rocks, and Zhang Ding also ordered all the cavalry to dismount and lean on the inside of the chariot with the infantry to prevent the enemy from attacking.

The convoy continued to move forward slowly, and sure enough, less than five hundred meters ahead, a big tree as thick as a man's waist appeared in the center of the road, and fell there, seeing this, Zhang Ding was already very convinced that there must be an ambush on both sides of the road, so he immediately ordered his soldiers: "Herald, order everyone to enter the first level of combat readiness, and send someone to blow up the big tree in the middle of the road to Ben General with a grenade." ”

And when the two soldiers rushed out of the car formation and rushed towards the tree, two sharp arrows suddenly shot out of the shadow of the jungle, shooting towards the two Song soldiers.

"Archers, bursting arrow cover is an attack!!" When Zhang Ding saw two sharp arrows shooting out towards the two soldiers he had sent out, his super sense of battle immediately ordered his soldiers to shoot bursting arrows into the jungle on both sides.

Burst arrow, in fact, is in the front of the arrow is equipped with a bamboo barrel similar to a grenade, with the help of the advantages of the triggering device, the burst arrow at the moment of launch, pull the string, and then explode after a few seconds, which can cause a large area of injury or even death to the enemy, and since the burst arrow was inadvertently developed by the people of the Ordnance Division, similar to the bow and arrow crossbow arrow, a large number of mushrooms appeared in various units of the Song Army, such as tear gas arrows, incendiary arrows, poison smoke arrows, etc., for example, to illustrate, For example, the Song Army's tear gas arrow, which is a kind of anesthetic mixed with a large amount of fine chili powder, then add a small amount of white phosphorus, and finally stir with gunpowder, can set a large area on fire, no, after two rounds of bursting arrows attack, Zhang Ding immediately ordered his soldiers to replace this tear gas arrow, and the burning arrow launched a crazy shot at the surrounding forest

"General, let's rush out and fight with those Song dogs, if we don't move like this, even if our soldiers don't prepare for these Song people to be blown up, they will be smoked to death by these actors." A general under the tent of the general of the Angkor Dynasty in the dense forest opened his eyes that were so smoked by the thick smoke mixed with chili powder that he couldn't open them, and looked at his general affectionately with his teary eyes and said

Naturally, he couldn't stand this kind of smoke-emitting environment, so he opened his eyes with tears in his eyes, pulled out his waist knife and shouted to the soldiers under his command: "Brothers, rush, kill all those Song dogs-"

This was originally an ambush battle, an ambush battle between the Angkor Dynasty and the Song Empire, but now it seems to have become a sudden encounter

When Zhang Ding saw the dense enemy rushing out of the jungle on both sides, he also immediately pulled out the war knife at his waist, and shouted and ordered his soldiers: "The mountain formation is heavily armored forward, block them, spearmen, stab defense, and the crossbowmen continue to release arrows......"

With the collision of the two sides of the battle, the mobile defensive vehicle formation of the Song army played an excellent defensive effect, but also with the increase in the number of Khmer soldiers, the transport force of the Song army was under great pressure, and the heavy armored soldiers of the mountain formation were constantly killed by the other side, and broke into the Song army's car formation and fought with the Song saber and shield hands in the car formation

Between the swords and swords, the soldiers on both sides are constantly glued together, and the cooperation between the various arms of the Song Army, the cooperation of the soldiers' squad battle formations, and the rapid transition between offense and defense all reflect the Song Army's unparalleled teamwork ability and combat awareness.

Zhang Ding's two one-handed heavy knives opened the bow left and right, and there was no live mouth in the fan-shaped area of three meters in front of him, and the thirty personal guards behind him, under the leadership of Zhang Ding, were like a meat grinder that was constantly advancing, and the long-handled Pu knife in his hand continued to fly up and down, smashing all the enemies in his way

"Zhang Fan." Zhang Ding led his iron guard to the side of a young general with a silver spear in his hand and shouted loudly

"Big brother, do you have any orders?" This junior general named Zhang Fan is Zhang Ding's youngest brother, who is only 21 years old this year, entered the Imperial Military Academy at the age of 15 to study, and graduated from the academy with excellent grades at the age of 20 last year, and was assigned by the Ministry of War to his eldest brother Zhang Ding to experience, and this battle is the first large-scale battle in the real sense since he joined the army.

"Zhang Fan, do you see the Khmer man wearing a feather crown on the edge of our army?" Zhang Ding and his younger brother continued to slash and kill the surrounding Angkor soldiers back to back, and pointed at the tow and said to his younger brother

And the bright silver spear in Zhang Fan's hand flew up and down, the tip of the spear was like a peacock nodding, and every time he nodded, a Khmer soldier would fall, "I saw the eldest brother." ”

"I expect that this person will be the commander of the Khmer this time, and you will immediately lead your own soldiers and twenty-eight iron guards under my account to kill him, and behead this person, and I will immediately order the archers to cover you."

"Big brother, I'm going to take away your guards, what about your safety!"

"Big brother, don't you know my strength, carry out the order."

As Zhang Ding's words fell, Zhang Fan waved his hand and took himself and his eldest brother's relatives to kill him casually

After Zhang Fan led people to kill the Tuoha, Zhang Ding shouted loudly to a Song army general near him: "Bao Tie." ”

"The last general, what does the general command?"

"Fight through a clearing nearby with your men, hold it, I've found the enemy's commander, and I need archers to cover our assault team."

"The general can rest assured, the last general will execute it immediately." After Bao Tie received Zhang Ding's order, Bao Tie took the imperial soldiers under his command to quickly form a circle, and cleaned up all the Khmer soldiers inside and outside the circle

"Archers, in a skirmish formation, fire wolf tooth arrows and burst arrows to support the assault team." (To be continued.) )
