Chapter 071: Life and Death Complement Each Other
The endless Brazilian army finally broke through the weak and tenacious defense line of Liu Zhang's army, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses crossed the two wings and besieged Liu Zhang like a flood, and more than 1,000 troops were like catkins in the wind in front of them.
"Good general."
"The end will be."
"Command five hundred cavalry to protect the perimeter, gallop back and forth between the enemy infantry, disrupt the enemy position, and no matter what happens to me here, you don't need to help."
"Yes."
He reined in his horse and led five hundred cavalry out of his own position.
Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief and said to Wang Xu: "The rest, it's up to you." ”
"The last general shall be loyal to death."
Wang Xu turned to face Zhang Ren from the 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers selected a thousand elites, they can be described as the essence of the essence, after Zhang Ren's months of training, this group of brave people was completely reborn, into a real iron-blooded army, in the face of tens of thousands of torrents, the expression is solemn, no fear.
"Circle array, array."
The soldiers quickly and orderly interspersed movements, and soon listed the circular military formation of the defense, a thousand elite soldiers, in seven circles, all with bright armor, not worthy of spears, short knives tied around their waists, armed with wooden poles and iron guns, calmly watching the approach of the Brazilian army.
It was so powerful that five hundred cavalry rushed to the overwhelming Brazilian army, the sledgehammer was flying, the blood was in the air, and the powerful cavalry was like a grain of sand in the whirlpool.
"Finally rushed over." Pang Xi let out a long breath, and the tension on his face finally eased, while Qu Tian's brows on the side were furrowed.
"Miss Huang, I have already said that Pang Xi will fight, if Liu Zhang himself is defeated, I will be helpless."
The sun was gone, and the clouds were in the sky.
The Brazilian army finally entered the Dongzhou army.
"Arrows!" Wang Xu's steel knife was held high and stabbed straight into the air.
The soldiers on the third floor of the periphery immediately squatted, and at the same time took out the bow and arrow behind their backs, the arrow cluster pointed obliquely at the sky, and the soldiers on the inner layer took out a simple two-shot crossbow, pointing at the Brazilian soldiers, and the Brazilian army rushed to a range of fifty steps, and Wang Xu's steel knife was teased, "Put!" ”
Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired at the Brazilian soldiers, and the Brazilian soldiers hurriedly took out small round shields to block them, but were shocked to find that those crossbow arrows were divided into upper, middle and lower routes, and the shields of the light infantry did not work at all, and the Brazilian army suffered a large number of casualties.
The sudden suffering made those recruits slightly stunned, but in the face of the temptation to kill the enemy commander, they still continued to charge without fear of death.
The soldiers who were shot were just a drop in the bucket for the Brazilian army, and the general who commanded these recruits saw that the Dongzhou soldiers were flying with arrows, and the damage was amazing, and they immediately organized thousands of archers to fight back, and thousands of arrows shot at the Dongzhou elite soldiers together.
The elite soldiers of Dongzhou also raised their shields, which were also small shields, but they did not protect the front like the Brazilian army, but protected the top of their heads, and a thousand people raised their shields at the same time, plus the long shield of the first layer, the entire army formation was tightly sealed, and only a few arrows were shot through the gaps.
But the number of Brazilian soldiers is too much, the rain of arrows is wave after wave, no matter how tight the formation will be exposed, many Dongzhou soldiers were hit by arrows, they used steel knives to protect the viscera as much as possible, some soldiers were shot by arrows, they resolutely chose to get out of the formation, fell on the way to rush to the Brazilian army, the soldiers behind quickly filled their positions, did not look at those fallen robes.
The two sides conducted several rounds of firing, and the Dongzhou soldiers suffered negligible casualties, while the Brazilian army was full of casualties.
Zhang Xu's spear stabbed, as long as the first spear pierced the air, the first layer of soldiers immediately stepped forward and stabbed at the Brazilian soldiers, and those Brazilian soldiers had no time to withdraw their spears, and the Brazilian soldiers who were lucky enough to be able to resist the agile spears of the elite soldiers of Dongzhou were waiting for them.
The so-called hand-to-hand combat is purely a one-sided slaughter of the elite soldiers of Dongzhou, while the soldiers in the formation are still calmly releasing arrows, constantly reaping the lives of the Brazilian soldiers.
Tens of thousands of Brazilian troops were like gnawing on a lump of thorny iron, without making tooth marks, and biting a mouthful of blood.
Liu Zhang squatted under the shields on all sides, the weather was already gloomy, and the light under the shields was even weaker, and he smiled and said to Fa Zheng, who was also idle: "I didn't expect that fighting a war could be so easy." ”
Fa Zheng drew his fingers on the ground boringly, and said: "General Zhang's training is really good, but I just don't know if we are waiting for victory or defeat now." ”
"Defeat is death, but now we can't control the situation of the war, it's better not to think about anything, while we are free, how about our next game of backgammon?"
Pang Xi looked at Liu Zhang's formation from afar, because there were too many Brazilian troops, he completely wrapped Liu Zhang's formation, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, so he asked Qu Tian: "How is it?" Did you take it down? ”
Qu Tian shook his head and said, "Liu Zhang's handsome banner is still there, and it shouldn't have been captured." ”
Pang Xi said angrily: "This group of rice buckets, even if so many people pile up, they should pile Liu Zhang to death, give the order, the infantry stop attacking and charge with cavalry, I don't believe that a small group of people can block the impact of the cavalry horses." ”
The herald took the order and left, Qu Tian looked at the battlefield calmly, so elite, it seems that Liu Zhang did come prepared, as many as 20,000 people besieged Liu Zhang's own formation, and the bows and arrows shot could already bury the 1,000 Dongzhou soldiers alive, but even so, the damage was so small, although 20,000 people could not be fully deployed outside the small formation of 1,000 people, but it was the first joke in the ages to get such a result.
Shuzhong is not a place where cavalry is crisscrossed, and there are not many war horses in Xichuan in the whole of Xichuan, and there are about 1,000 cavalry in the Brazilian recruits, and the generals will gather them all in one place, in order to break through the defense of the Dongzhou soldiers in one fell swoop.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, starting, accelerating, charging.
The earth trembled, the Dongzhou soldiers quietly clenched their spears, and shot the horsemen in the upper, middle and lower three ways, and the Brazilian army charged in a dense formation, and the knights were killed and wounded in a large number of horses, and more knights chose to hide their horses, and the arrows of the Dongzhou elite soldiers were shot in one out of ten.
Killing knights were insignificant to the entire Brazilian army, but the lack of knightly horses, or horses that lost control to avoid arrows, seriously disrupted the dense charging formation of the Brazilian army, and caused even more riots with countless knights falling from their horses.
But in any case, after three waves of arrows, the cavalry still collided with the elite soldiers of Dongzhou.
The cavalry pressed the Dongzhou soldiers with a thousand forces, the Dongzhou soldiers raised their guns at the same time, the front row of soldiers pestle the tail of the guns, and used the body as a fulcrum to form a forest of guns, resisting the advance of the cavalry like a horse pistol, and the soldiers in the second row supported the first row of soldiers with a shield in one hand, so as not to be knocked away by the powerful impact of the war horse, and raised the gun in the right hand at the same time, stabbing at the horse knight. The soldiers in the back row all followed suit, one layer with shields against the other, waiting for life and death to complement each other at any time.
