Chapter 564: Fan Yang's Soldiers

Chapter 564 Fan Yang Soldiers

The thunderous roar of the Liaodong Army made the faces of the soldiers of the Shizu Alliance Army even more ugly.

At this time, the sky was already bright, looking at the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, the array was neat and strict, the soldiers were well-armoured, the banners were like the sea, the sword light was like snow, the spears were like forests, and the array was filled with a strong aura of slaughter.

Before the battle, the morale of the coalition army dropped again.

Lu Che's face was pale, but he was also relieved when he saw that Lu Jiabao was only surrounded and in the hands of the generals who stayed in the city. In Lujiabao, there are not only his family members, but also most of the Lu family, if Lujiabao is broken, then the Lu family will definitely have no intention of fighting.

The longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that the Lujia Castle will be breached by the imperial court.

Lu Che did not dare to drag it out, and immediately ordered to take the lead in attacking the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

Facing the morning wind and snow, the coalition forces began to move slowly towards the front.

Countless panting peasants dressed in improvised animal skins and armor held spears and bayonets aloft, while the private soldiers of the clan wore rudimentary armor of bright light, brandishing their weapons and shouting: "Kill! "Rush! "Help yourself with courage, the voice is earth-shattering.

The black-pressed procession rushed to the imperial position like a tidal wave, the drums rolled, the trumpets sounded in unison, and the soldiers gradually became excited, as if they had forgotten the panicked flight of the previous night.

The Liaodong Army's formation was immovable, and compared to the hustle and bustle of the Shizu Alliance, the camp of the Liaodong Army was calm.

Mountains of spears are raised high in the sky, and the wind blows the flags and makes the sound of hunting.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves continued one after another, and the heralds on war horses ran through the passages between the phalanxes, shouting the command: "Hold your ground!" "Get ready! ”

The infantry in the front row squatted down obediently, and plunged their shields and spear butts deep into the mud to form a defensive formation.

At the back of the formation, a team of 10,000 archers and crossbowmen had already formed ten columns, and they were loading arrows on their strong bows and crossbows, with grim expressions.

On the flanks of the array, five thousand light cavalry, spread out on both flanks, guarding the flanks of the infantry phalanx.

When the two armies approached a distance of 100 paces, the unbreathless allied archers were the first to release their arrows.

The arrows flying densely in the air fell into the dense queue of the Liaodong Army, splashing a bloody flower and moaning from time to time. The Liaodong soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell without saying a word, and the soldiers in the back row stood one step forward silently and filled the vacancy in the queue.

The general in the infantry formation gave the order: "Raise the shield!" ”

All of a sudden, the shield bearers raised their shields to the sky to block them, and from above, the front row of the entire Liaodong Army camp showed a metal reflection, as if they suddenly had a metal roof. All of a sudden, the arrows of the coalition clanged all over the shield wall, but they did no damage.

"Brothers, for the sake of Hebei, rush!" In front of the coalition army, Zhao Kuang, who was knocked out by a horse lance hit by a heavily armed knight last night, has woken up, and has also been appointed as the commander of the coalition front.

"Rush! Kill! The coalition soldiers in Hebei howled hysterically, shouting loudly to soften the fear in their hearts. Roaring like thunder, the coalition forces charged, and they ran forward in great stride, rushing towards the enemy line with a surging momentum, and the gray crowd rushed and spread out like a wave, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

The entire queue rushed to the head of the Liaodong Army, and the momentum was amazing.

When they rushed to a distance of about sixty paces, the general in front of the infantry formation of the Liaodong Army waved his hand: "Put!" ”

The first row of crossbowmen stood up and fired their arrows, and the dense rain of arrows hit the coalition array like a torrential rain. At this distance, the damage caused by the crossbow fire was terrible, and there was an astonishing clamour, "Ahh …,

The successors moved forward bravely, but the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army were equipped with continuous crossbows, which were wound in advance, and there were seven crossbow arrows in the arrow box, which could be fired continuously without loading. At this time, the first row of crossbowmen of the Eastern Army had already crouched down to wind their crossbows, and the second row of crossbowmen began to shoot again, and another terrible metal storm swept into the middle of the coalition forces, firing seven times in a row, causing more coalition soldiers to fall to the ground.

Then the third row, the fourth row... Due to the lack of defensive equipment such as armor on the part of the clan alliance, the casualties were especially heavy when attacked by bows and crossbows. Although many soldiers had temporarily found all kinds of defensive items before the battle, such as pot lids and the like to block their chests, this small wooden pot lid could not stop the fierce crossbow arrows of the Liaodong Army at all. At the fifty paces in front of the Liaodong Army's formation, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, and the civilians who had just put down their hoes from the fields and picked up their arms had fallen to the ground before they could get close to the infantry phalanx of the Liaodong Army.

"Rush!" A large number of people fell head-on from the bow and arrow, and the crowd of the forward had become sparse, but the officers of the clan who were supervising the battle behind them did not care about this. They let their guards hold bows and arrows and big swords, and if they dared not to advance, they immediately stepped forward and swung their swords and cut off the heads.

Driven by the officers who supervised the battle behind, countless coalition soldiers helplessly held high wooden guns, horizontal knives, iron forks and other weapons, and they rushed towards the front of the imperial court one after another.

The front-row bayonets of the Liaodong Army exhaled and shouted in unison: "Kill!" As soon as the shield flipped over, countless bayonets stabbed forward at the same time, piercing the hundreds of coalition soldiers who rushed to the front.

More soldiers rushed up in anger, but they were hit by a rain of arrows, and they were shot like hedgehogs all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground screaming.

The coalition soldiers fell to the ground in rows and rows, but the officers of the clan behind forced more soldiers to go up one after another, but they were repelled one after another, in front of the Liaodong Army, the air exuded pungent blood, the red mist was misty, and the snow in front of the formation had already melted the hot blood of these soldiers.

Their blood is flowing without any value.

The phalanx of the Liaodong Army was simply an efficient killing machine with both offense and defense. Although the Hebei soldiers followed one after another, the gap in weapons and strength was quite ruthless, and compared with the well-trained and well-equipped regular army of the Liaodong Army, the civilian army was really too far behind. Before even the shield array at the front was breached, the coalition forces had already suffered thousands of casualties on the front line. In front of the Liaodong Army, they were full of corpses and suffered heavy casualties. The surging wave of the coalition attack was like a wave crashing onto a reef, shattering it all.

Many of the allied officers also found out about this tragic situation, and many of them secretly requested that their troops be temporarily withdrawn in order to find better fighters.

However, at this time, all of Lu Che's thoughts were on Lu Jiabao behind the Liaodong Army, and he was worried that if it dragged on, the foundation of their Lu family would be broken by the imperial court and wiped out. In the face of the pleas of these clan generals, he did not hesitate at all, and refused them all.

"On the battlefield, either life or death, the two armies are desperate, if they retreat at this time, then the morale of the army can no longer be recovered, and if the court pursues at that time, we will all die and have no place to be buried. Pass the order down, continue to attack, and the first to break the formation, the king will be rewarded with ten taels of gold and a hundred acres of land. ”

Lu Che's words left the other generals speechless, and now they have rebelled, or defeat the imperial court, and Hebei will be theirs in the future. Either they were defeated by the imperial court, and from then on, the various families were completely wiped out, and the Zhu clan was wiped out.

One by one, the generals of the clan personally carried swords and guns, rode to the front line, and drove the soldiers to continue the attack.

Under the formation of the Liaodong Army, Li Benlei, Zhang He, Chen Lin, Chen Shan and others have been paying close attention to the situation of the coalition army. …,

"Marshal, the rebels have been so suicidal for almost two hours, and now the morale of the army has dropped to the extreme. And they haven't eaten for a day since last night. The rebels were tired and tired, and their morale was exhausted, and it seemed to the general that it was time for us to strike back. ”

Chen Shan also said, "If it weren't for the fact that the commander was not allowed to attack with bombs, I think these rebels would have broken up long ago." ”

Li Benlei sighed and said, "The real damned ones are just those big families and those local powerful landlords." These people are just a group of poor people who can't help themselves, and the gunpowder is extremely powerful, and they die in one fell swoop. Not only will it kill and injure more people, but it may also make these clans flee directly when they see the situation. ”

"But by now, the rebels are tired and tired, and their physical strength and morale are running out, and it's time to settle the matter in one fell swoop." Li Benlei nodded.

Zhang He stepped forward and asked, "Marshal, after half a day of rest, I broke the barracks, and all the men and horses have recovered, so I am asked to break the barracks to fight." ”

Li Benlei pondered for a moment, "Okay, when the counterattack begins, you will lead the barracks to the other party's royal flag, which is where the leader of the rebel army is." As long as you take that big side, it will be considered a great achievement to break the barracks. ”

"Xie Dashuai!"

"Chuan Ben ordered the engineer battalion to fire smoke bombs, scattered bombs, and the whole army counterattacked. Then order the light cavalry to attack and kill from both sides, and never let one go, those who surrender can be exempted from killing, and those who resist and do not surrender will be killed on the spot! ”

"Woooooo

The trumpeter blew the horn of the counterattack.

The camp of the Liaodong Army resounded with a thunderous roar, "Long live the broken army!" ”

The projectile vehicles, which had been hidden in the infantry formation, were unused one after another, and their camouflages were removed. The non-commissioned officers of the engineer battalion loaded bombs one by one, loaded them, ignited them, and threw them.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The earth-shattering and violent explosions continued to sound, and one after another fire rose into the sky in the army of the Hebei Coalition Army, and a fierce counterattack began.
