Chapter 137: Fierce Bloody Battle (10)
The fight is over, everyone knows that.
It is impossible to say that those who can't go into battle are not depressed, just looking at the eyes of Ye Tianlong and others now, it is not difficult to see this. However, everyone knew very well about the situation just now, it was not a battle that people of their level could participate in.
Only Dian Wei, the most powerful existence in his own army, can challenge the extreme fighting generals. If they play and can escape back with serious injuries, it may be the best ending. This is not self-deprecation, but to recognize the facts, if you don't even have this bit of self-knowledge, you still don't want to be an officer, and disarming and returning to the field may be the best choice.
Since you can't fight, you naturally have to come to the real thing. How far this battle can be fought, just look at it once!
"Formation!" Fang Yun shouted, and the soldiers quickly set up a formation, and although there were attrition, they still discharged a hook formation.
"All march!" Yuan Fang did not put up any position at all, but just ordered the whole army to advance.
At this moment, the other party had already begun to show a trend of encirclement, as long as the formation slowly spread, it would be able to surround Fang Yun's army. And Yuan Fang also knew very well in his heart that this was the result that Fang Yun was most unwilling to see.
It is precisely because of the unwillingness to see that there will inevitably be new actions.
Sure enough, Fang Yun immediately ordered, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, and the archers began to move forward slowly under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers. Just now, he could see clearly that the range of the opponent's strong crossbow was farther than that of his own strong crossbow troops. There is no point in shooting alone, and it is more reliable to shoot under the cover of sword and shield soldiers.
"Scatter!" But he didn't want Yuan Fang to suddenly shout.
At this time, all the soldiers in the three positions on his side actually dispersed! It's not that it's chaotic and scattered, but it's automatically divided, like the stars but it seems to have traces to follow, faintly becoming a strange formation.
"This is the 'Star Array' created by Master Zhang Jiao, but it's a pity that no one will use it except me today!" Yuan Fang laughed, and his tone was full of desolation.
It's just that Fang Yun is still keenly aware of something, such as obviously this formation was created by Zhang Jiao, so why is only Yuan Fang Hui left to use it now? Zhang Jiao, except for what?!
"Forward!" Yuan Fang Fang would not give Fang Yun a chance to think for too long, and began to command the army forward.
In this group of star arrays, the composition of the soldiers is also very messy, looking chaotic, and they seem to be connected with each other. For example, it seems that every archer or pikeman has a sword and shield soldier next to him, but this sword and shield soldier seems to be protecting another pikeman or archer, and if you are not careful, you will not even be able to detect this pattern.
"Shoot!" But he didn't want to, it was Yuan Fang's side who shot first.
The archers mounted their bows and arrows one after another, throwing them at Fang Yun's position.
"Sword and shield soldiers protect friendly forces, archers counterattack!" Fang Yun immediately gave the order to counterattack.
The sword and shield soldiers were mobilized, and in the face of such sparse shooting, it was not a problem to defend at all. But they soon discovered a serious problem, that is, the enemy's range seemed to be a little farther than expected.
It is not difficult to speculate that the bow in the opponent's hand is far more powerful than his own army. These archers are not ordinary recruits, they should be veterans who have been trained for a long time!
Their projectiles seemed haphazard, but each arrow was directed towards the archers' positions behind the sword and shield soldiers. As far as the landing point is concerned, it can actually form a perfect full-area coverage, but the speed at which the arrows fall is different. However, because of this, many people ignore the fact that they cover the whole range of shooting, and only feel that the opponent's shooting seems to be powerless.
At this time, the sword and shield soldiers could not protect it, and at least 500 archers were shot, and their fate was uncertain. And the counterattacks of his own army were also chaotic by the other side one after another, and there was no way to effectively fight back.
"Crossbowmen, shoot!" Yuan Fang smiled and continued to give orders.
At this time, Fang Yun noticed that those strong crossbowmen were actually vaguely distributed at the front of the team, and they had already formed a fan-shaped attack surface. This is not only possible to shoot the enemy in the front, but even the side of your own army, which is also within the opponent's design.
Obviously, the strong crossbow was originally an existence that could only shoot flat, but the opponent did not play any tricks such as triple shooting, but expanded the striking surface, so that even if there was only one row of strong crossbows, it could shoot the enemy to the maximum!
However, how could Fang Yun have no backhand at all?
"Charge!" Chen Tao has already taken the cavalry and killed it!
"Go into battle!" Yuan Fang seemed to have expected it and waved his hand.
The pikemen, who were originally in the midst of the stars, quickly came to the front of the formation, stuck their guns into the ground, and faced the enemy's side with the tips of their spears. Interestingly, these spears are not of the usual length, and the barrel is at least close to four meters!
To this extent, Fang Yun subconsciously thought of the infantry tactic called 'Three Guns', but it was a means used by the island country to use the gun, in the final analysis, it was an attack method to slap the enemy from top to bottom, but he didn't expect it to be used as a means of defending against cavalry here.
However, in this way, these spears actually exceeded the crossbowmen by many positions, so that the enemy cavalry could not get close to the crossbowmen at all, and they would touch the tips of the spears. In this way, if you accidentally stop, you will be shot directly by the opponent's crossbowmen or archers.
"Spread out!" Chen Tao smiled, but roared.
The cavalry actually divided into stars and circled around. Their purpose was not to be a frontal enemy in the first place, but a relatively weak two-wing enemy, and now the enemy has not yet formed an encirclement.
"Interesting move, but don't you men who are positive don't you want?" Yuan Fang smiled, but he was not afraid of the enemy troops who were killing them on their flank, and just ordered the crossbowmen to shoot.
"With me, no one wants to in!" Ye Tianlong roared and commanded the sword and shield soldiers to quickly set up a formation on both wings.
Interestingly, at this moment, the infantry under his command did not have a ring-headed sword at all, and it was purely a two-sided shield. The double shield allows the area of the guard to be effectively expanded, and most importantly, it can be stacked with each other at critical moments to increase the area of the guard.
So, where did their ringhead knife go?
But it was given to other allies, who held their swords in both hands, and helped the archers to shoot down the arrows that fell. One of the drawbacks of sparse arrows is that they can be easily knocked out. Of course, there are some risks to be taken.
But it doesn't matter, the infantry under Ye Tianlong's command is definitely the strongest infantry, and they won't be afraid of this! (To be continued.) )
