As the distance between the two sides gradually shortened to one hundred and fifty steps, Luo Yanhuan also saw more clearly, the scale of the six-flower array of the Shu army was very small, and each formation in the outer circle was eight vertical columns and five horizontal rows, that is, four hundred people, which ensured the tightness of the formation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info and the inner circle is a circle array, plus the main general's personal soldiers about 1,000 people.

The Six Flower Array evolved from the Bagua Array, all of which belong to the circular array, which can be fought steadily and steadily, with strong defensive capabilities, but the offense is slightly insufficient. The first three formations seem to be able to advance at the same time, but they are only relative.

Soon approaching a hundred paces, the two crossbowmen who spread out diagonally stopped on the spot, and the first hundred crossbowmen in the front row raised their wooden single crossbows diagonally and fired them upward, and a slightly sparse array of arrows flew towards the enemy formation like locusts, making a clanging noise, accompanied by a terrible scream.

To meet the enemy, first over the distance, in the process of exceeding the distance, it is necessary to carry out a certain elimination, whose bow and crossbow are sharper, after receiving the enemy is easier, this is the same whether it is a horse step, in the frontal field battle.

The crossbowman wound the gap, and the archer then opened his bow and released the arrow, giving the Shu army another blow. A round of arrow rain for the two Ji crossbowmen is 400 arrows, of which the crossbowmen are stronger, with lethality in 120 steps, light armor in 100 steps, and heavy armor in 80 steps.

Three rounds of arrow rain in a row, the first three bursts of the Shu army were in turmoil, but they actually withstood it, with more than 100 casualties, and after approaching 80 steps, they also began to fight back, and the speed of advance was also significantly accelerated.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air continued, and the front rows of both sides were heavily armored gun shields, but the arrows were projectile, causing a lot of damage to the rear, and as the distance approached it turned into a flat shot, and the front row also had casualties.

"Stay in formation! Advance from the southeast! Luo Yanhuan let out a loud shout and lowered his head slightly to avoid the arrows.

"Cover on the left, follow on the right!" Deputy envoy Liu Chongbin commanded in the first two formations, and followed the order when he heard the voice.

The two armies advanced to the middle, and the speed of approaching was double, from eighty to twenty paces This short time was six or seven rounds of arrow rain, and both sides probably had more than 200 casualties, but the Shu army was obviously more.

Han Baozheng is a town soldier under his command, and there is not much heavy armor ration. The Zhou army is a forbidden army, the soldiers are all of the best fine scale armor, and the officers above the head are wearing mountain pattern armor, so the casualties of the officers are very few, and the command sequence is still not chaotic at all, while the Shu army has signs of replacing and filling.

When there are no extra troops, it is normal for the back row to fill the front row, so that the reduction of the formation has nothing to do with the overall situation, so as to ensure the closeness of the front row and the coordination of the left and right.

Twenty steps later, the Shu army's six-flower array stopped the whole team, and the two teams of crossbowmen in front of the Zhou army did not return to the rear formation, but retreated diagonally to both sides to fifty or sixty steps, and continued to release arrows at the phalanxes on both sides of the Shu army's six-flower array.

The circular array in the center of the Six Flowers Array of the Shu Army was also firing back, but the arrows shot had to be thrown across the outer circle, and the distance was a full hundred and twenty steps, which almost did not deal any blow to the Zhou army's crossbowmen. Therefore, this six-flower array is inconvenient to move and is very passive.

"Put down the big shield! Flat guns forward! Liu Chongbin was in the middle of the left side of the right formation, and when he saw that he was about to meet the enemy, he yelled.

The soldiers in the front row immediately threw away their big shields, and the big hardwood guns in their hands were as thick as a child's arm, and the soldiers were flat with their hands, and the heads of the guns were pointed diagonally upward, keeping them under the shoulders of the enemy, and they could not be raised, otherwise they would be easily pulled out.

The front row of the big gun is one zhang two, about three meters six, the rear gun is one zhang, and then the back is eight feet, about two meters four, because the gun barrel is too long, there will naturally be a serious collapse phenomenon. Slumping in martial arts means straightening the waist and pouting the buttocks, so that the power of the feet on the ground is transmitted to the arms, and the unstable end of the gun in the hand is easy to be broken by the enemy. But the front row of the army phalanx is to take on the power of breaking the front, so it must be a long pole.

"Kill, ......" The big gunners in the front row roared and trotted forward, and when they were about to meet the enemy, they suddenly took a big step forward, and the spears in their hands suddenly stabbed forward, and hundreds of spears were next to the Shu army of Qi Qi with two steps at the same time, most of them were also pierced by the gunners of the Shu army.

Puff puff...... The sound of spears piercing through the human body rang out again and again, followed by bursts of muffled snorts, or screams, and the blood swayed with the pull of the spear head, staining the grass red.

While the gunners in the front row stabbed the enemy, the second platoon could not stop, continuing to move forward from the gap, looking for the enemy who was not shot to make up for the shot, or directly stabbing the enemy in the back row.

As soon as the two sides met the enemy, the survival rate of the first two rows of gunners was often less than 30%, but the last few rows were different, taking advantage of the gap between the enemy to move forward quickly, the spear has been maintaining a mechanical stride forward stab, slightly leaning back to collect the gun, and then stepping forward to stab, so repeatedly and so on, but also step forward step by step.

The forward of the Zhou army's gun array was unstoppable, and the spear and shield men in the front row of the Shu army were quickly defeated, but the Liuhua array was powerful at this time, facing the enemy head-on, and the phalanx on both sides also stabbed from the side at the same time, and there were sporadic arrows in the back row.

However, there are two formations in front, one to meet the enemy, one to defend the flank, and the three formations in the rear still have a distance, so they will fire back with arrows. The two formations moved forward step by step, and the Shu army formation on the opposite side was quickly disabled, and it was greatly sunken inward, but the first three rows of the square were basically consumed.

Liu Chongbin also officially received the enemy, slashing left and right with the long-handled Pu knife in his hand, breaking through the formation of the Shu army again and again, and always maintaining the momentum of opening the way forward. When the next three formations followed, the threat of the two Ji was immediately eliminated, and the speed of advance was faster. But there is also a circle of spears and shields in it, which is a headache.

After advancing six or seven steps, through the gap of the shaking figure, Liu Chongbin had already seen the dense and glistening spear heads like hedgehogs, but the big gunners were almost exhausted, and it was very dangerous to break the circle formation.

"Turn! Break the front again! Luo Yanhuan roared from behind, he was in the middle of the back formation, naturally safe, and he could see the battle situation in the front formation very clearly, so the circle formation in the center was no different from hitting the wall and sending him to death, but he made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and continued to break the outer circle, and the next formation was easy and stress-free, it was much easier.

"Brethren! Turning ......" Liu Chongbin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and followed the yell, it was still relatively easy to turn in the step formation. It's just that in this series of battles, the formation is a little scattered, and the commander on the left has suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the sound is gradually approaching.

Turning to the side to attack the other side halfway, the other side is still suffering huge casualties, but this is only a matter of a while, when the next burst is broken, there is no big gun on the side of the Shu army, and I didn't expect the front side formation to be unable to support it so quickly, and there was a moment of confusion, which undoubtedly gave Liu Chongbin time to break through.

Without the big gunner to open the way, it would be much more difficult to break the enemy's defense line in the front row, Liu Chongbin took the task of breaking the gap with his own soldiers, and with the follow-up of Zhang Guangzan on the side, the middle formation on the east side of the Shu army was also broken.

The northwest corner of the Liuhua Array broke two formations in a row, and Luo Yanhuan's last three formations also broke into the formation, and the back and south sides were naturally attacked, but the back formation could only follow the front formation to the south and resist the surrounding attacks.
