The distance between the officers and soldiers and the thieves was slowly shortening, and the distance between the two armies was still a hundred paces away, and the bows and arrows could not be shot, but a small part of the recruits in the thieves could not bear it, and as soon as their fingers were loosened, the arrows flew out and stuck in the open space between the two armies.

"What idiots are throwing arrows indiscriminately?" The five hundred elite soldiers in front couldn't help but shout and curse the back, and the recruits who released the arrows blushed for a while, and the other soldiers next to them couldn't help but scold: "Don't fucking shoot arrows, almost lured Lao Tzu to release arrows...... The officers and soldiers are obviously still out of range......"

"Right...... I'm sorry......" Several recruits who accidentally shot arrows quickly apologized.

Xu Renjie, who was in the distance in the distance, couldn't help but scold: "Damn, it's the first time that our soldiers from Huanglong Cottage have been like this!" These new recruits are really unreliable. ”

Wang Er didn't care, he laughed and said: "Don't be angry, when our old team and the second team followed Zhu Buga out to fight the first battle, they were also so immature, but you didn't see it." ”

A few missed arrows were inserted in the middle of the battlefield, but it gave the officers and soldiers a trace of confidence, and the two Qianhu officials said with great joy: "Although the thief army is numerous, it is really a rabble, and even the most basic bow and arrow range cannot be judged well, so what is it?" ”

The soldiers of the official army also breathed a sigh of relief, they just saw that the equipment of the thief army was very neat, and they thought that the other party was difficult to gnaw, but they didn't expect it to be such a stupid method, so what else is there to be afraid of? Up!

The officers and men quickened the pace of their advance...... After a while.

"Now you can release the arrows!" The elite soldiers at the front of the queue suddenly shouted in unison: "Xinding in the back, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Hey...... We're afraid of missing ......."

"I'm afraid of a fart, the distance is enough!"

"Yes!"

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! The squad leader and the ten-captain all began to shout loudly, and the archers in the army array raised their big bows together and threw a large number of arrows into the sky, although the armament of this group of recruits was low, but there was still a small part of them with bows, and in the army of six or seven thousand people, even if only a small number of people were equipped with bows, there were as many as seven or eight hundred, and at the same time the bows were thrown, and the arrows suddenly flew up densely and came all over the sky.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers also shot arrows, and there were actually quite a few officers and soldiers with bows, there were five or six hundred people, but compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's army, it was a little less, and hundreds of arrows flew into the large array of 7,000 people, which really couldn't make much waves, but hundreds of arrows flew into the small formation of 2,000 people, but the effect was remarkable.

"Ahh

"Oops!"

The arrows hit the flesh, the soldiers screamed and covered their wounds, and the soldiers with shields held up their shields to block, and those without shields had to gamble on their fortunes today. There was a wave in the military formations of the two armies, and the fluctuations on the side of the thieves were quite large, after all, there were many recruits, and many people were so frightened that they hugged their heads when they were washed down by this wave of arrows. The fluctuations on the side of the officers and soldiers are smaller, although the guards are not elite, but in recent years, they have often fought against thieves, and their psychological quality in the face of war is much stronger than that of Zhu Yuanzhang's recruits.

"The recruit's eggs are really unreliable!" Xu Renjie scolded in a low voice, and then shouted loudly at the military band: "Beat the drum hard, use the drum body to suppress their cries of pain for me, don't let them have time to think about the wounds on their bodies." ”

As long as the bow and arrow is not pierced through the abdomen, it is usually not fatal, this kind of thing has been used to destroy the formation and break morale since ancient times, as long as the recruits can overcome the fear of facing the bow and arrow, they will no longer be afraid of this thing, so at this time to increase the sound of the snare drum, so that the drum sound they are used to hearing stimulates the brain, and as soon as the blood burns, a little injury and pain from the arrow will naturally be forgotten.

"Forward!"

The five hundred elite soldiers began to lead forward, the recruits slightly recovered their enthusiasm in the drums, the two armies threw arrows at each other, while slowly pressing against each other, after entering the distance of the infantry charge, the five hundred elite soldiers in front of them shouted in unison, suddenly began to accelerate, and rushed out at the speed of a trot. The recruits in the back were swept away by this momentum and involuntarily followed. The army of seven thousand began to roll forward, dusty and dusty, and the momentum was extraordinary.

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were startled when they saw this, the 36 battalions of thieves in the past, were pressed by arrows, and they were basically in a state of semi-collapse, and then the officers and soldiers rushed against the thieves, and they could often kill the thieves for ten miles, but now after the thieves were baptized by the arrows, although they did mess up for a while, they were still strong, and they took the lead in starting to charge...... What the fuck is this.

The spearmen squatted with their legs, and their spears stretched out like hedgehogs, and the attacking thieves also took advantage of the power of the forward rush, and the spears stood up, as if overwhelming.

The two formations intersected, and the spears were raised in unison...... Between the spear formations of the two sides, a gap of several feet wide was naturally formed, and then a row of sword and shield soldiers actually rolled out of the middle of the spear formation of the thief soldiers, covering their bodies with shields, and the Pu knife in their hands slashed the legs of the spearmen on the opposite side.

The officers and soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and the spear formation was so frightened that it fell back slightly, and then the spear formation of the thieves seized this opportunity and pressed forward fiercely, forcing the officers and soldiers to retreat backwards.

"Something is wrong with this thief!" The thousands of households leading the army sweated profusely: "Especially the hundreds of thieves at the front, they are more like officers and soldiers than us...... Holy! ”

"Hold on!"

"Don't retreat!"

The soldiers in the formation did not understand the overall situation of the battlefield, and they only knew that the military formation on the other side was actually being pressed back step by step, and the thieves were actually only the 500 people in the front who were really engaged in the battle, and the few thousand in the back were obviously not fully in the state.

"It can't be!" Li Qianhu wiped a handful of sweat on the horseback, but he didn't expect that as soon as he engaged, the battle formation was already in a state of exhaustion: "Is it the opposite side that puts the family soldiers in front?" ”

Wang Qianhu shouted loudly: "General Li, we can't hide our secrets, let's send the family soldiers, if we wait for the army formation to begin to collapse and then send the family soldiers, it will be too late." "He wanted to save the soldiers for the end, but the elite soldiers of the thieves came so fiercely that they didn't give them time to breathe.

"Good!" Li Qianhu and Wang Qianhu joined forces, and the two of them had three hundred soldiers together, and these two elite soldiers immediately moved forward and replaced the spearmen in front, these soldiers were completely different, not only strong, but also well-equipped, they collided with the same excellent old team and the second team, both sides felt tricky, and the battle formation suddenly stalemate.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the battlefield quietly, and did not give any instructions to the infantry, this kind of simple military confrontation was just handed over to Xu Renjie.

Xu Renjie shouted loudly in the formation: "Newcomers, the veterans have bitten the most difficult enemy soldiers, you should also do something to show the veterans your fighting spirit!" ”

This kind of shouting is actually useless, and it is all hidden in the sound of drums, but Xu Renjie rode a war horse back and forth in the military formation, roaring hoarsely, but it burned a fire on the souls of the recruits.

"Forward press!"

"Don't be afraid of the spear on the other side!"

"You can't die if you get stabbed!"

"Raise your shield!"

"Spear up!"

"Press forward!"

The army formation of 6,000 men was much wider than the army formation of 2,000 officers and soldiers, and once these recruits pressed forward, they began to form a huge oppressive force, and they pressed out from both sides of the 500 elite soldiers in the battle, and the flat army formation was like a tide of money.

The elite of the officers and soldiers had been entangled, and the ordinary guards could not be compared with the soldiers in terms of morale or training, and they were pressed by the army, and suddenly showed embarrassment, and the two wings of the military formation fluctuated slightly, at first it was a little wavering, and then this vacillation spread, causing confusion on both wings of the military formation.

If Zhu Yuanzhang only had infantry in hand, he would lead the two wings to fly together at this time and outflank the officers and soldiers, but at this time he had a cavalry in his hand, although the number was not large, it was enough to play an effective role at such a time. He pointed to a certain place on the left flank of the officers and soldiers, and said loudly: "Sister Xue Hongqi, please lead the cavalry team to rush here!" ”

"Hahaha, no problem! Leave it to me! ”

Xue Hongqi reined in the war horse and rushed out, her red clothes were blown by the strong wind, she put her fingers in her mouth, and as soon as she blew somehow, she let out a softer and louder whistle, which could be transmitted far away on the battlefield where people and seahorses were neighing.

"It's work!"

This whistle was obviously the horse thieves' order to charge, and the two hundred horse thieves behind Xue Hongqi rushed out together and followed Xue Hongqi. A horse thief took out a flag made of red cloth and held it high with his left hand, this is the signature banner of the horse thieves led by Xue Hongqi when they were fighting, and the name of Xue Hongqi also came from this, as long as this red flag is erected, it means that the caravan in front of them belongs to them, and other horse thieves can no longer interfere. This habit of being a robber has not forgotten to show it on the battlefield, but it has a unique flavor.

The two hundred cavalry soon formed a sharp formation, although Zhu Yuanzhang had taught Xue Hongqi some basic cavalry charging methods, but that was suitable for the cavalry to deal with the enemy alone, the method used to open the enemy's flaws, now the enemy has been forced out of the flaws by the infantry, there is no need to use any detachments to attack at different levels, it is true to directly go all out!

"Shhh

"Kill!" Two hundred horse thieves showed their thin-bladed scimitars, why do horse thieves like to use scimitars, and don't like to use simple knives like infantry? In fact, the reason is very simple, the infantry mainly relies on their own wrist strength to swing the sword, and the heavier the blade, the greater the damage caused when slashing the enemy. However, when the horse thief swings the knife to cut people, he can use the habitual surname brought by the war horse running, so he does not need the blade to be very heavy to cut out a huge power, and the scimitar is very conducive to pulling back after cutting the enemy, unlike the Pu knife, which is easy to be stuck by the enemy's body and get out of his hand, so the horse thief often likes to use a thin knife with a curve, which is conducive to control. In particular, the Mongolian cavalry also likes to use light scimitars, but the heavy cavalry of the Jin Kingdom likes to use heavy scimitars, one light and one heavy, please experience the differences.

The appearance of two hundred horsemen waving scimitars and rushing forward is indeed extraordinary, and Xue Hongqi rushed in front, which is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows.

This time he saw Wang Er's eyes red, and he shouted: "Cavalry charge, it's really refreshing, I'm going too!" ”
