Chapter 67: Confrontation
Waiting for the scout to retreat, the soldier who didn't speak just now came out, and the face of the soldier was full of beard and dregs, and he was full of fierce burly, and he half-knelt down and said: "General, this anti-thief is too rampant, and he dares to face our army." Please give the general an order, and immediately lead the soldiers to break through the thief army, behead the enemy thief and sacrifice it to the general! . ”
"General Peng is right, this thief leader is not self-sufficient, and he dares to openly provoke the empire, and a group of peasants are safe and sound. We are eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and ask the general to give the order. ”
"This rebel is only the strength of two battalions at the beginning, most of them are recruits who have not experienced the battlefield, our army has been killed for a long time, and now we can defeat it in a battle!"
"Please give the general an order!"
"Please give the general an order!"
In the face of the surging requests of the group generals, the commander could not see the expression on his face, and his expression was complicated.
The anti-thief is also the scale of 2,000 people, and the two armies are not much different in terms of strength, but these two thousand imperial soldiers are all old battalions that have seen blood, and the anti-thief army has not been established for a long time, and the chaotic army composed of a group of displaced peasants can win!
Thinking of this, the commander finally made up his mind and said: "If this thief dares to launch a military formation on the flat ground, we will dare to break it, and the generals will listen to the order, line up and step forward, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
"No!" The generals listened to the order together, and the imperial army stepped forward.
Yang Qi looked from afar, waited patiently, and after a while, the enemy formation finally made up his mind and pressed up.
"The other party finally couldn't bear it anymore, and what he said was that now the two armies are equal in number, if they see me and retreat without a fight, how will this imperial general suppress the arrogant generals in the army in the future?"
Yang Qi retracted his thoughts, his face was not happy or sad, his expression was indifferent, and he looked into the distance.
Strictly speaking, only 500 of the two thousand-man battalions newly built by themselves have experienced the battle formation, and the rest are new recruits, as long as they go through this battle, they can become veterans.
But the army trains hard, and there are big fish and meat, Yang Qi believes that the quality of his soldiers is above the other party.
The comparison of soldiers alone has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is not much difference.
Besides, the imperial army had been on the road overnight, and after night attacks and harassment, they were exhausted and their sharpness had greatly decreased, and the soldiers in their own camp had rested for half a day, which was the peak of their strength.
Now it seems to be quite, but in fact it has won a lot, if it is still not victorious, it can only be arranged by God.
Soon, the imperial army was noisy with gongs and drums, trumpets sounded in unison, and the heralds galloped on their horses, conveying one order after another.
"Attack!"
With a cold shout, the Imperial army standing in the wilderness roared, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers slowly pressed over with sonorous steps, like a thick human wall.
In the fluttering flags, the steel composed of countless spears and spears was full of cold, and the neat steps made people's backs chill.
Seeing the overwhelming imperial army, the rebel soldiers' faces were slightly nervous, and many of their hands holding weapons were oozing sweat. And the veteran at the front looked at the imperial army with an indifferent face.
"Don't be afraid!"
"There is meat stewed in the cauldron at the back, after this battle, drink wine and eat meat, and be full!"
"If you want to live, don't be afraid of death, the more you are afraid of death, the faster you will die!"
"Don't be a deserter, the Overseers are staring at us, and if anyone retreats, they won't have eyes on their knives!"
"If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you will kill the enemy fiercely for Lao Tzu, they are all gentlemen, don't be cowardly!"
The voices of the officers of the rebel army at all levels rang out one after another, and they were loudly cheering up their morale.
"Archer prepare!" Yang Qi gave a loud command.
The flag officer next to him stepped forward to take down the two flags and issued an order.
Suddenly, the two teams of archers quickly moved into action, and under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, they formed a line and put feathered arrows on their bows and arrows.
The battle-spirited Imperial army approached with neat steps, and the sound of war drums became more and more rapid, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it was oppressive and breathless.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Imperial soldiers strode forward with a mountain and tsunami cries, and the ears of the people were buzzing with a huge wave of sound.
The ground trembled slightly, and the atmosphere between the two armies became more and more tense.
The more nervous, the quieter.
"Ready!" Yang Qi waited for the enemy army to approach, and shouted without hesitation.
With a heavy wave of the banner, the fifty archers suddenly raised their bows, and each of them filled the longbow in their hands, and the bowstring was taut.
"Put!" As soon as the flag was pointed, the "boom" sound of the arrow was endless, and more than a dozen screams suddenly came out of the enemy's formation, and almost at the same time, the enemy shouted loudly and charged quickly.
At this time, the front of the two armies was only fifty meters, and they could be reached by rushing a few steps, and the archers only shot a round of arrows, and after more than ten seconds, the two armies rushed together and fought.
On the battlefield, lunges are often the only ranged unit and are extremely lethal, but they are limited when the two armies are facing each other head-on. The opposite side can charge up in a few steps, leaving only time for the archer to shoot arrows. If you want to shoot the next round, you are in danger of killing your teammates by mistake.
In addition, a veteran archer who has been trained for many years, if he shoots twenty arrows in a row, his arm will be paralyzed, his muscles will be sore, and he will not be able to continue fighting.
Yang Qi immediately gave the order, shot freely, and eliminated the enemy's dangerous people at a fixed point.
These archers hide behind swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen, like poisonous snakes spitting letters, and are extremely dangerous.
"Kill" the first wave of the spear, which has been stabbed.
"Thorn!"
Countless sharp spears stabbed at the enemy.
"Puff Puff"
In a dull sound of sharp blades penetrating flesh, countless bayonets stabbed into the bodies of the Imperial soldiers.
"Ahh
"Ugh!"
The Imperial soldiers swarmed in a surging swarm, and at once they crashed into the dense array of guns.
Screams rang out one after another, and many Imperial soldiers were pierced through with several bayonets at the same time, which was terrible.
"Close!"
Countless bloody spears were drawn, and the Imperial soldiers, covered in bloody holes, collapsed to the ground.
The drawbacks of the gun array were also exposed, and when the stab was hit, someone could not pull it out in a matter of seconds.
The Imperial soldiers in the first row had just been stabbed to the ground, and the Imperial soldiers in the back quickly pounced to fill the gap. Some imperial veterans took advantage of the gap and drew their sabers, only to see that the light of the knife turned, and even the people with guns cut and chopped down.
However, he was soon stabbed to the ground by the spearmen who made up for it behind.
"Thorn!"
"Close!"
Amid the voices of the rebel officers, the soldiers stationed in the first row mechanically stabbed and withdrew their bayonet guns.
It was such a simple repetitive action that caused the Imperial soldiers who pounced on them to suffer heavy casualties and stab them one by one.
There were also experienced enemy veterans, dodging the gun, taking the opportunity to tear open the gun, sweeping through a field of gunmen, and soon the first gunline was broken.
