Chapter 566 Strange tricks come out one after another
This is not a metaphor, whether it is from a distance or the actual status quo, the formation of the Qingzhou army is as solid as a rock.
The bandits at the forefront seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, a wall of bows and arrows and lances, and in front of this wall, they struck their heads and bled out.
Sun saw very clearly that what the Qingzhou soldiers were holding in their hands was not a horse lance for cavalry, but a rifle.
These two weapons, the former is slightly shorter in length, but the toughness is stronger, which is suitable for resolving the rebound force of high-speed collisions and protecting the rider; The latter is similar to the use of spears, with a longer length and huge attack power at medium and short ranges, which is suitable for sniping in dense formations, and can be regarded as an upgraded and strengthened version of the spear. Because in addition to stabbing the lance, it can also swing and slash.
Although the 400 Qingzhou troops holding the lance were cavalry, their combat power after dismounting was not weak, and the 300 people lined up in two rows, stabbing in the front row, slashing in the back row, and the support of nearly 100 archers in the back, the circle was defended impenetrable.
The bandits have courage and good martial arts, if a melee is formed, the Qingzhou cavalry will definitely not be an opponent, not everyone can fight with one against ten.
But the problem is that the bandits do not have the opportunity to develop the battle into a large-scale melee, so their superiority in strength cannot be brought into play.
The bandits who rushed to the forefront were the bravest and most skilled outlaws. thought that with the momentum of the impact, he could break up the round formation of the Qingzhou army in one go, after all, the other party even fell the flag, and the formation used for defense did not seem to have any mystery, so it could not break the formation, so is there justice and justice in the world?
As a result, they hit their heads and broke their blood, and many of them didn't even have a chance to swing their knives.
The reason is simple, their weapons are not long enough. Even if you dodge the bow and arrow, you can't avoid the stabbing of two rows of long lances.
Even if there is an extremely fierce one, after being stabbed by a lance, he wants to fight to the end. But he soon found that his weapon could not be delivered to the enemy, and at most he could only stab the war horses on the periphery. After a little hesitation, the opportunity was gone, and the long lance in the back row slashed in, collecting the last trace of life from the bandits.
"Kill the horse first!" Chang Feng saw the problem, the horse wall looked simple, but in fact it was very useful.
The horses were well trained and blindfolded. Ignoring the sound of gold and iron clashing on him, he quietly performed the duties of the city wall. The two rows of horse walls are not thick, but they are longer than the weapons of most bandits.
The bandits are not regular troops after all, and the longest weapon they are used to is only the tassel of Zhangji. Where can it be compared with the Qingzhou Army's eight zhang and two zhang four super long rifles?
An inch long, an inch strong, this old saying is not a joke.
Relying on the superiority of weapons, the Qingzhou army coped with the impact of the bandits, although the number of bandits was large, but a few people passed by, and the casualties on both sides were disproportionate.
Two or three hundred dead on the bandits' side. There were only a few more wounded soldiers on the Qingzhou army's side - this was not the result of a white-knuckle battle, but the harvest of the few archers among the bandits who were shooting with all their might.
Both sides are huddled together, and it doesn't take much skill to hit the target easily. But. The Qingzhou army has finely crafted leather armor, and most of the arrows are not very lethal, except for a few unlucky eggs who are occasionally injured by arrows; And most of the bandits only had cloth clothes on them, under the rain of arrows of the Qingzhou army. As long as the arrow is hit, it is either death or injury.
In fact, Chang Feng thinks. If you want to break the circle, you must first break the horse wall!
I also began to wonder in my heart, even the general's flag fell, and the commander was assassinated, how could the defense of the Qingzhou Army still be so strong, and the strong ones were a bit against the sky.
However, the war is tight, and he has no time to think about it, he has already been killed, can he turn around and run away after suffering a little setback? What is the difference between doing that and Zang Ba's coward?
So he thought hard and found a countermeasure: to break the circle, you must first break the horse wall!
Although the bandits are a rabble, they are quite reliable in carrying out their orders. Chang Feng gave an order, and everyone immediately turned to fire and killed the war horse. Attacking the Qingzhou Army through the horse wall, they can't reach anyone, and attacking the war horses means that the Qingzhou Army can't beat themselves, so they can also taste the taste of dry staring!
The Qingzhou army really can't fight the bandits who kill horses. It's easy to have only a wall of horses, but horses are living creatures, not sandbags, and they can't be too close to each other after all. For the bandits who changed their strategy, the Qingzhou army seemed to have few options, so they could only speed up the rhythm of bow and arrow shooting, and kill and injure the enemy more efficiently.
Of course, this can't stop the red-eyed bandits, who use their swords and guns to vent their anger on the horses.
Although the horses were covered with thick felt, even the iron armor could not withstand an attack of this intensity.
Blood flickered, the horses were in severe pain, a few fell silently, and many more neighed and raised their hooves!
Horses are spiritual creatures that don't stand stupidly waiting to die, and thick felt, although it can't withstand all damage, is still very helpful in weakening damage.
He was not mortally wounded, but he was tormented by severe pain, so the horse also went crazy......
Blindfolded, the horses galloped in no definite direction, but toward a distance away from the pain. And the bandits were crowded around the circle array, where did they think that there would be such a change, they were trampled in by nearly a hundred crazy horses, and nearly a hundred bloody paths appeared in a blink of an eye.
A veritable blood road.
Just as the rider uses spurs and whips to stimulate the horse in order to stimulate the horse, the horse that is stimulated will run as hard as he can until he dies. The current situation is similar, nearly a hundred crazy horses frantically crashed into the formation, until there was no obstacle in front of them, or death, bringing heavy casualties to the bandits.
For a moment, the battlefield suddenly fell silent.
Qingzhou soldiers are distressed about horses; Chang Feng and his minions were stunned.
He never thought that the Qingzhou army used the war horse as a wall, and there was no rein for the horse...... Isn't this a deliberate attempt to deceive people? Thinking of this, his heart suddenly froze, and a strong uneasiness surged into his heart.
Deliberately cheating? Could it be that the people of Qingzhou have been prepared for a long time? But......
"Get down there and go down the three!" A loud roar interrupted his thinking, it was Sun Guan! The former pioneer general, armed with a one-armed sword, rolled to the ground and rolled under the horse's belly into the circle.
One inch short, one inch dangerous!
Sun Guan's actions reminded the bandits that the Qingzhou Army's weapons were longer. It can't stab the enemy who kills from the bottom three ways. Although the horse wall has a killing opportunity, it also has loopholes!
"Little ones, follow Zhongtai!" Wu Dun also roared, but the man did not drill into the horse's belly. No one blamed him, because his leg was lame, and it was difficult to get up again when he rolled on the ground, and rolling in it was pure death.
"Hold back head-on and cover the brethren who are breaking through!" Chang Xuan came back to his senses, regardless of whether the Qingzhou Army was prepared or not. Wang Yu is not dead, and now he is also bound to ride a tiger. As long as you can enter the white-knuckle battle with offense and defense, even if Zhang Min fails, this battle can be won!
There were only a small number of cavalry in the open-jaw army as scouts, and the infantry could go as fast as they could. It is impossible to come to the rescue in time. If you defeat the enemy in front of you, you will win!
Thinking so, he commanded his minions to attack in an all-out way, making it difficult for the Qingzhou army to take care of both.
He saw very clearly that in order to deal with Sun Guan's attack, a part of the Qingzhou army abandoned their guns and drew their knives and leaned down. Apparently. Sun Guan's tactics hit the opponent's vital point and successfully caused a containment!
The minions swarmed up, and the battle became more and more intense.
But all this had nothing to do with Sun Guan, and he successfully rolled into the enemy formation. Just as the cat was bent on his waist, when he was about to kill under the lance forest, he bumped into a young military general head-on.
The proportion of young heroes in Qingzhou is very high, and Sun Guan can't tell the identity of the other party from his age. However, Bu Yi took a look. He felt the terrifying momentum of the other party.
What surprised him the most was that the short sword in the opponent's hand - the battle had not lasted long, under the clear sky, the sun was still bright, the light was shining through the lance forest, and the short sword was shining with colorful light.
There are not many such fancy weapons, and Sun Guan happens to know one - the Seven Star Treasure Knife!
After confirming the weapon, the identity of the other party was about to come out, Sun Guan looked at the other party viciously, and spit out Sen Han's murderous intent between his teeth: "Wang Pengju? ”
"Sun Guan?" Wang Yu's gaze fell on Sun Guan's one-armed.
"Very good, since you are here, I can avenge my eldest brother with my own hands!" Replaced by Chang Xuan and Wu Dun, he may be shocked and in a daze at this moment, but Sun Guan is different from those companions who like to boast of their resourcefulness, he and his eldest brother Sun Kang can only trust the war knife in their hands!
In the midst of the loud shouts, he walked with the knife, just like that, and pounced on Wang Yu with a fit on his waist.
Since Wang Yu didn't get the trick, for Sun Guan, there is only one chance for revenge. Therefore, Sun Guan's knife is also inevitable, and he has made up his mind to die with the other party, and what he exerts is naturally far better than usual.
In his opinion, Wang Yu couldn't straighten up, and the short sword in his hand was too short, which was not conducive to parrying, and this sword should have a great chance of success.
But how did he know that what Wang Yu was best at was hand-to-hand combat in this complex environment, not to mention his Sun Guan, even if Lu Bu came to the forest and fought this kind of rat battle with Wang Yu, he would only be defeated.
In the face of Sun Guan's inevitable knife, Wang Yu did not retreat but advanced, in the process of advancing, the body and the impossible twist and one side, as a result, when the chest stab came the knife was empty!
Before Sun Guan could figure out what was going on, there was already a colorful light in front of him, and then he heard the sound of 'whoosh' liquid splashing, and the strength of his whole body was rapidly draining, and he finally understood what was happening.
"Good...... Come ......" Sun Guan fell down. His eyes were still wide open until he died, as if he wanted to see how the trick that took his life was done, and it was so fast.
Wang Yu had no time to pay attention to the emotion of the dead enemy, and now the battle had entered the most intense level.
The bandits launched an all-round attack from the top and bottom, and on the side of the Qingzhou army, even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong used bows and arrows, which shows the fierceness of the battle. Wang Yu's current duty is not to command, but to kill the enemy, to kill the enemy to the fullest! Because he knew that there might not be many such opportunities for him.
"Qingzhou Army...... I guess I can't stand it in the end, right? Yin Li commented on the current battle situation.
If what Zang Ba said is right, Qingzhou is really a lure to the enemy, then this move can only be said to be a bad move. If it weren't for Wang Yu's death, the bandits' morale and fighting spirit would not have been as high as this, and they would have been defeated long ago.
Fighting to the death has never been a tactic advocated by bandits, taking advantage of it, and running away after taking advantage of it is their style.
"Not necessarily." Zang Ba has been watching silently, listening, silent, Yin Li's previous thoughts, he didn't comment. But this time, his eyes were blazing, he pointed to the battlefield under the mountain, and made an extremely firm judgment: "The Qingzhou Army is about to use a killer weapon!" ”
"Killer? Where is it? Yin Li was inexplicably surprised, and looked over with Zang Ba's instructions, but didn't see anything noteworthy, only the supply fleet was docking, as if it wanted to meet his comrades who were in a bitter battle on the shore.
Zang Ba shook his head, not knowing whether he was sighing at Yin Li's sluggishness, or lamenting the thoughtfulness of the Qingzhou Army's arrangement: "That's the supply fleet?" Who said that? ”
"Yes......" Yin Li said sluggishly.
"Is it because the ship has a deep draft? But the draft only means that the weight of the ship is large, but it does not mean that it is a supply fleet? Zang Ba said faster and faster: "Assuming that there is not a river, but a flat land, and the boat is a soldier, what do you think the Qingzhou army's formation looks like now?" ”
"Ahh Yin Li looked at it fixedly, and suddenly exclaimed.
That's right, unconsciously, the fleet and the circle on the shore have formed an echo, and the whole looks like a wild goose with wings ready to fly!
Wild geese marching!
