Chapter 698: Spear Formation

Hearing that the other party was Chi Gong, a famous general of the Zhao army, Li Tang and the soldiers of Hedong were all taken aback. Since the capture of Taiyuan by the Zhao army, the Tang army has been stationed on the border of Taiyuan, attacking from time to time. Although there were no major engagements between the two armies, small battles continued.

Once, 3,000 infantry of the Tang Army besieged a dock fort of the Zhao army, and Wei Chigong led 500 elite cavalry to relieve the siege. At that time, the Tang army was about to retreat, but Wei Chigong led the cavalry to assault the rear of the Tang army, breaking the Modao array that the Tang army had always been proud of. The 3,000 Tang Army was defeated, and since then, the name of Wei Chigong has been powerful in Hedong.

Wu Shi Tong's subordinates said: "General, the Zhao army has surrounded us, so it is better to surrender now!" ”

The warrior glared at the other party angrily, drew his sword, stabbed this person to death with a sword, and shouted: "You will fight to the death with me, and now it is time to repay your majesty with death." ”

"Stubborn!" After Wei Chigong heard the shouts of the warriors, he immediately ordered the Zhao army to attack.

Although Wu Shi Tong knows the ambush, he is not afraid, his 3,000 people, 500 of them are the elite brought from Guanzhong, and they are also second only to the Xuanjia Army, the Tang Army, the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. The Beiya Forbidden Army came from the 30,000 horses who followed Gaozu Li Yuan Taiyuan in that year.

These horses and the Tang royal family were born and died, and made great achievements, not only the soldiers were very loyal, but also had strong combat effectiveness. After Li Yuan became the ruler of Chang'an, the imperial court gave these soldiers a heavy salute. Not only gave the fertile grain fields in the Guanzhong area, but also formed part of the guards in the hands of Li Yuantianzi, known as the Beiya Forbidden Army, also known as the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, and stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the palace.

Wu Shi Tong immediately ordered Yuan to be the backbone of the forbidden army, and set up a formation in Hebei, putting on a posture of stubborn resistance. The Zhao army attacked from both sides on the shore and on the shore, and the Tang army was attacked by the enemy on its back and back, and it still resisted stubbornly. On the small boat in the reeds, Sergeant Zhao kept firing arrows into the reeds and hiding in the Tang army. The Tang sergeants ran between the reeds to avoid each other, and were very passive.

And at this time Osawa side. The rumbling drums sounded, and it turned out that Li Chen, the king of Xiangwu of the Tang Army, led the army to come to the aid from the lake. Li Chen was also careful at the beginning, and when he saw that the warrior Tong missed, he immediately came to help.

On Zhao Yu Qi, the small boat driven by the Tang sergeant shuttled on the lake, and the drums on the water rumbled. After looking at Shuize, the Tang army's boats were densely packed and countless, and they rushed from all sides to fight with the Zhao army's water army.

The reeds on the surface of the lake, the two sergeants and soldiers in their own boats, appeared from the lake. A boat driven by the officers and men of the two armies. Only five or six people were allowed, one was at the helm of the boat, one was paddling, and the other three or four people stood on the bow with guns and bows.

After some arrow shooting. The boats approached, and the two armies immediately staggered and entered into a close encounter. Standing on the bow of the ship, the soldiers were like chariot battles in the Qin and Han dynasties, each holding a spear and slashing at each other on the bow.

Soldiers were constantly knocked into the lake, making a splash of the boss's water. In this cold weather, falling into the lake is a dead end. But the Tang Army's reinforcements were eager to save people, and they all rushed desperately. Sergeant Zhao was a little unprepared for the water battle and fell behind.

And on the shore, there was less worry about being attacked by the Zhao army from behind, and the warrior Tong easily stabilized his position, but at this time, Wei Chigong led the Zhao army to start charging.

The mud on the shore of Zhaoyu Qi is frozen and hard. But it was still not conducive to a cavalry charge. After Wei Chigong showed this situation, he immediately used foot soldiers to attack the formation.

"Hold your ground!"

The samurai shone and dressed up and roared loudly.

The Tang soldiers held their breath and calmed down, and the soldiers leaned side by side and erected a shield array. They are going to hold the beachhead for now. Wait for the main forces of the Don Army in the rear to arrive. The 3,000 infantry of the Tang army took the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army as the center, flanked by the Hedong Provincial Army, and formed a half-moon array with the terrain of the Great Lake behind them to welcome the Zhao army.

Because it was a battle against the water, the Tang army was united, staring at the Zhao army in front of them.

"Where are the pikes?"

Yu Chigong roared angrily on his horse. He was greeted by the roar of a mountain and a tsunami.

"Let Tang Jun see my Hedong athlete's ability!"

"No!"

Kill!

More than 7,000 Zhao troops pressed on like a tide. Zhao Jun's cowhide boots stepped across the ridges by the lake, and the ground was slippery. Under the iron pocket, there was a cold gaze, looking at the Tang soldier in front of him without emotion.

The Zhao Army's spear army suddenly began to speed up its pace, and in front of Wei Chi Gong's horse, there was a dense Zhao army's spear and gun array. Rub, rub, Zhao Jun's cowhide boots stepped on the mud, making a special sound.

"Ready!"

As in countless drills, the spearmen in the first row lay their spears flat on the ground. The tip of the gun trembled slightly, but the gun bar was steady and motionless. This is the result of the training of Zhao Jun's soldiers day after day over the years.

Tang Jun saw that Zhao Jun was like the impact lineup used before and after the tide, and his position was slightly unstable.

The samurai ordered Yuan to be the overseer of the forbidden army, and ordered any soldier who showed signs of cowardice to be killed. Tang Jun stabilized his position, and then shouted: "Foot shooting, prepare arrows!" ”

The Tang Army's riders were called Yue Cai, and the rest were called infantry shooting and row spears. There is an infantry captain in each fold of Chongfu, who teaches bows and arrows, so the Tang Army's arrow array is famous. The Tang Army's infantry archers stood behind the shield array, raised their longbows with one stone and five buckets, raised their heads to the sky at forty-five degrees, and faced the Zhao army's spear phalanx.

"Shoot!"

At the sound of the samurai's order, the arrow came out of the string and flew out of the head of the shield-raising soldier in front of him, and shot straight at the Zhao army's soldiers. You must know that a qualified Tang Army archer must shoot six arrows within ten breaths. Each soldier kept his hands on the wrist, his fingers hooked on the bowstring and buzzed, and he was only exhausted after shooting six or seven arrows in one breath.

The Tang Army's archers and arrows covered the Zhao soldiers in front, but after seeing the shooting results, Wu Shi Tong lost his voice and said, "The armor of the Zhao Army is actually so fine!" ”

The words are right, you must know that the soldiers of the Zhao army have always been known for their excellent equipment, and the soldiers in the first three rows are all wearing two layers of strong armor, one on the outside and one on the inside. There is a story in the Tang army that Li Shimin is good at shooting, and an arrow can penetrate the top five. But these five armors are definitely only leather armor, not iron armor.

Under the double iron armor, no matter how good the Tang soldiers are, it is difficult to shoot through, in fact, not only the armor is strong, but every soldier of the Zhao army has armor on the neck and face, to be precise, it is impermeable.

Therefore, under the attack of the Tang army's arrow array, the first three rows of Zhao soldiers only fell a few people sparsely, but the Zhao soldiers in the back rows who only wore a layer of armor suffered more casualties than the front row.

At the moment when the warrior Tong was surprised, the Tang soldier was also surprised, and tens of thousands of arrows were shot out, killing and injuring only so many people. And carefully looking at the infantry phalanx pressed by the Zhao army, under the guidance of the red battle flag of Zhanger, the Zhao soldiers who swarmed and rushed in, like a wave floating up and down, the red tassels on the heads of the soldiers, like countless fires shaking in the wind, and the iron armor on each soldier's body gathered together as if it was like a sea of metal, the cold light flowed, and the heart of the hope was cold.

This is simply an infantry phalanx smashed out of money. Although the Tang army's soldiers were better equipped than the Zhao army's previous opponents, such as the grassland cavalry and the Hebei Righteous Army, they were still a little behind the Zhao army. Only the equipment of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army could be comparable to that of the Zhao army.

Now the spear phalanx of the Zhao army has approached the Tang army, and now the strength of the Zhao army is more than twice that of the Tang army, and the troops are very rich under the siege.

Under the dense spear formation, Sergeant Zhao was half-sideways, and a blade of spear was in front of him, and the tip of the spear hit the shield with a popping sound. A few bold Tang sergeants stepped forward, only to be directly poked through countless holes by spears poked from all directions.

Seeing this scene, the Tang soldier immediately gave up this kind of bird-like play, and could only use a shield to cover the vital points on his body, and then waved the long knife in his hand, dancing and slashing like a headless fly. But this prevents the front row of guns, but it can't prevent the back row of guns.

The tip of the spear penetrated the gap between the shield and the long knife from time to time, and penetrated directly into the body of Tang Jun. The tip of the spear pierced through the armor, stirring the flesh and bones, and then struggling to pull back, and then the blood poured out cheaply. The Tang sergeant fell to the ground as if his whole person had been drained of strength.

Now the offensive of the Zhao army's gun formation is like a wild boar arching indiscriminately, using its head to push hard, squeezing it inside and hitting it inside. In the blink of an eye, the shield array of the Tang army was shattered,

"Yes, don't be afraid, if you are afraid, you will die faster." The generals of the Tang Army constantly cheered up their subordinates. But the soldiers did not listen to him, and the Tang army soldiers on both wings were crushed by the Zhao army front and retreated step by step into the lake. The soldiers in front began to break up, and the battle line was pushed back more than a hundred paces. The soldiers who retreated in front were just squeezing the soldiers behind.

Behind the rear soldiers was the lake, and they hurriedly shouted to the front: "Don't squeeze any more, go to the lake if you squeeze any more." ”

The soldiers in front didn't pay attention, and the Zhao army in front of them was even more terrifying, and the water splashed on the surface of the lake under the crowd, and hundreds of Tang soldiers were planted in the lake.

In the Tang army's array, only the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army in the center was on a par with the Zhao army in front of it, and they did not retreat a single step.

"Hold on a little longer!"

The warrior shouted hoarsely, now on the lake, the Zhao army's boat division has been defeated, and the Tang army's water reinforcements will arrive in a while. But at present, the superior strength of the Zhao army is like grinding ducks, crushing the left and right government soldiers into the lake.

Only the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army was still struggling to support the samurai in the vicinity of the samurai tong.

But the good days of the samurai were over, and the retreat of the left and right flanks completely isolated the Central Yuan from the infantry phalanx of the forbidden army.

The left and right flanks of the Zhao army turned around and attacked from three sides. No matter how elite Tang Junyuan was from the forbidden army, he couldn't withstand the three-sided attack of the Zhao army. The moment the battle line collapsed, even the most brave soldiers lost their will to fight.

Wu Shi Tong watched the proud forbidden army of the Tang Army throw away their armor and flee for their lives. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, "Could it be that my warrior Tong is going to die here today?" ”
