With the sound of countless war drums and trumpets in the large array of the two armies, the commanders of the armies on both sides gave the order to attack. The Beichen Army had high morale because of Hua Rong's great display just now. However, the morale of the Alliance Army also did not drop much, so the seventeen players dared to fight the Beichen Army.

As for the difference in numbers, it was directly ignored by the commanders of both sides, and in a war of more than 300,000 people like this, the difference of 20,000 or 30,000 people did not play a role at all. At most, it is just to increase the morale of one's own side with a superior number of people, and at this time, it mainly depends on the command art of the commanders of the two armies.

There were no cavalry on either side, all infantry and archers. Therefore, the strength of the two armies is roughly equal, but the Beichen Army has more archers than the Alliance Army. However, here, there were quite a few sword and shield soldiers among the infantry armies of both armies, and the power of bows and arrows was greatly reduced. At the end of the day, the gap between the two armies is only a little bit.

As the horn sounded, the infantry formations of the two sides slowly pressed towards each other. For a time, the fifteen red phalanxes of the Beichen Army formed a large gust of wind. The shield at the front provided a lot of security for the soldiers behind them, and the more than six meters long Changge of the Changge soldiers made the entire large array full of danger.

The archers followed the army and were used to support the battle ahead. However, the attack power of the archers was greatly weakened by the shield soldiers of both sides. However, as soon as the soldiers in front of them break up the enemy's formation, and the shield soldiers cannot form a unified shield wall, the archers will soon get erect again.

The army of the Alliance was different from that of the Beichen Army, which was divided into seventeen formations, each of which was led by a general under the command of a monarch. In this way, although the possibility of selling teammates is greatly reduced, it is easy to cause confusion in command.

However, when the Beichen army is pressing, no one will care about these anymore. Block the enemy's attack first, and the rest is trivial. After all, compared to their own lives, the soldiers who fought in front were just consumables.

Moreover, there are fifteen infantry military formations in the Beichen army, and it is difficult for the alliance army to win if it is not divided into a dozen phalanxes to deal with it. There are fifteen phalanxes of others, and once their own phalanx is less than others, they will not be able to contain each other. Then the Beichen army could easily send a dozen or so phalanxes to surround themselves, and then the rest went to attack their own camp.

Or, if there are more people than your own phalanx, then as long as one phalanx involves one of your own teams. The rest of the extra phalanx can directly pick up their own phalanx to besiege. The reverse is also true, if you have more phalanxes, you can also use the extra phalanx to besiege one of the enemy's phalanxes.

However, there are not as many soldiers in their own family as they are, even if the two phalanxes go together to besiege the Beichen army. But that's not easy to fight, it's really the 10,000 horses of the Beichen Army who grew up eating dry food!

When the thirty-two formations of the two sides were one hundred and fifty paces apart, the archers began to brush up on their presence. Simply pull the bow and set the arrow, then release your finger to release the arrow.

For a moment, a rain of arrows suddenly appeared above the Allied army's formation. And the top of the Beichen military array is a little scary, a large area of bows and arrows pressed by black, then there must be 10,000 roots, not to mention. However, the Beichen Army is not worried, China's shield has always been very broad, solid, and heavy. This is something that foreigners can't afford at all!

In China, there were not only heavy infantry shields, but also cavalry shields, individual small square shields ... The only purpose of so many types of shields is to protect against enemy arrows. The development of bow and crossbow weapons in China reached its peak, and the emergence of various strong bows and crossbows made every army equipped with a large number of infantry shields.

Their task is to use their large shields to form an oversized shield wall for their teammates behind them to resist arrows from the sky when the enemy crossbowmen release arrows. And the consequence of this is that a bow that is not strong cannot shoot through the shield at all.

Therefore, in order to pursue the super group killing ability of the bow and crossbow, the big guy had to study a more powerful bow and crossbow. However, when the bow and crossbow became more powerful, the previous shield could not be stopped. So, a group of people began to work on a stronger shield again.

And so on and so on, until at the end, only the strongest spear appeared, but not the strongest shield. The birth of the outstretched crossbow turned countless shields into tissue paper. A large, one-man crossbow that has created the pinnacle of bow and crossbow history!

Europe is different, there are not too many large-scale wars, and the development of bows and arrows has always been the same. After a few traversals, except for one English longbow in the whole of Europe, the rest of the bows and crossbows were really not famous. Which is with China, the bow has an iron tire bow, and there are more crossbows, of course, the most famous ones are Zhuge crossbows and outstretched arm crossbows.

Of course, these high-end weapons will not appear in the battle between the Beichen Army and the Alliance Army now, not even the most rubbish crossbow. The Europeans used ordinary longbows, and the range of their attacks reached a distance of one hundred and sixty paces, which was only twenty paces shorter than the birch bows used by the Beichen army.

It's not that there are no crossbowmen in the Beichen Army, in fact, after the end of the first western expedition, the Beichen Army officially formed a crossbow troops. However, only the most rudimentary crossbows were used, and the number of people was only 2,000. It's not that Xiao Chen doesn't want to expand the establishment, in fact, Beichen Kingdom now produces more than 500 crossbows per month, and it can completely form a crossbow army of 10,000 people.

But the key is that it is formed, but it can't be raised. Everyone is a poor ordinary person, just like having money to buy a car for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but not money to buy gasoline and maintenance. Xiao Chen's crossbowmen army is facing this problem, and they have the money to form it, but they can't afford to raise it.

For just 1,000 people, training and recruiting, equipping crossbows and some other equipment alone cost nearly five million copper coins. If it is expanded to 10,000, Xiao Chen will be formed, and 50 million copper plates will still be trivial. But Xiao Chen's high military spending of 30 million per month is a little unbearable.

Now there are 20,000 cavalry in the Beichen army, which is 20 million military expenses. 400,000 infantry is only 40 million copper coins per month, 100,000 archers also consume 50 million copper plates, and more than 70,000 naval troops are also 30 million per month. These armies alone need 120 million per month, and if you add 10,000 crossbowmen, it will be 30 million consumption.

Although the monthly tax revenue of Beichen Kingdom can almost get 160 million copper plates every month, after paying the military salary, it is almost 40 million left. However, don't forget that Beichen is now a country, and it still needs to develop its country.

Moreover, a lot of the money that is surplus every month, as well as the money that the army has recovered from the battle, has to pay the pensions of those who died in battle. Now the monthly pension of the Beichen Army alone is as high as 30 or 40 million, and it is still sometimes reduced to so much by replacing copper plates with food and various benefits.

In this case, even if Xiao Chen was willing to recruit 10,000 crossbowmen, the rest of the officials in the country would definitely not be happy. If you recruit 10,000 crossbowmen, the big guy's salary will be gone. As for grabbing money with the military, the officials of Beichen still don't dare.

Don't look at how many victories the Beichen* team has now, and they have won successive battles, and it is not a problem to attack the city and seize the land. Who would have nothing to do to grab money from that group of big-headed soldiers, it's not clean and tired.

Therefore, Xiao Chen made trouble in the end, and the crossbow troops were still a thousand people. Such a small number of crossbowmen would not play much role in the great battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, because this Western Expedition would not allow those 1,000 precious troops to go to the battlefield.

In this way, it has also caused the embarrassment of the Beichen Army and the Alliance Army now.

Archers on both sides fired several rounds of fire, but few were killed on either side. It's not that the archers don't care, in fact, the archers don't careless, as long as they shoot into the sky, they are almost waiting for the unlucky eggs on the opposite side to hit the rain of arrows.

But both sides have a lot of sword and shield soldiers, and as for the single knife soldiers, they have long proven their garbage on the battlefield. Because it was directly thrown out of the establishment by the players, only Beichen still has tens of thousands of single sword soldiers. However, these tens of thousands of single-knife soldiers have turned into police officers, which is just a quick catcher in ancient times!

The more the number of sword and shield soldiers, the tighter the shield wall will be. Dense bows and arrows are shot, and the big shield is covered, and it is got! Few of the soldiers hiding under their shields died. At most, the arm of the sword and shield soldier was numb for a while, but with a backhand, the arrow feathers nailed to the shield were all cut off.

After that, continue to carry the shield and arrows. This scene greatly annoyed the archers on both sides. The commanders who cursed each other were bringing so many swords and shields. This is not clean and does not give us the face of the archers, so the commanders of both sides were greeted by countless archers.

But this did not delay the duel between the two managers!

The archers did not make achievements, which was already expected by the two marshals. Now that the archers have lost their greatest threat, it's up to everyone to play with the charging infantry.

After a few rounds of fire, the archers were ordered by their respective commanders to stop the attack. At this time, the infantry troops on both sides charging forward were not far away, and the faces of the enemy could be seen completely.

At this point, what else do the soldiers on both sides have to say? Dozens of military formations immediately picked up speed and rushed towards the enemy's military formation. Fifty paces was a short distance, really short, and in less than half a minute, the two sides came into contact after the soldiers on both sides quickened their pace.

As we get closer and closer, we can see the majestic faces of the enemy clearly. The sword and shield soldier at the front of the Beichen military formation held the shield tightly, and the other arm holding the knife was also behind the shield. Then, he bent down and hid his body behind the shield without revealing a single gap.

Immediately afterwards, the sword and shield soldiers who resisted the front felt the force coming from the shield. They knew that they hadn't collided with the other party's sword and shield soldiers yet. Now it was just a spearman waving his spear, stabbing his shield incessantly.

At this time, if you can't withstand the strength of the enemy's spear. Then, not only himself, but even the Changge soldier behind him will face the same consequences as himself. When the spear can't bear it, it will stab, and he and his companions behind him will definitely be poked into a hornet's nest.

Of course, this is not the most critical time. The biggest challenge is coming.

When he felt the body of the robe behind him leaning against his back, the sword and shield once again clenched the shield hard. The biggest challenge is coming, and it's about to collide with the opponent's shield.

The Beichen Army's military formation became more compact in an instant, and every soldier saw that his body was close to his body. On the one hand, this is done to add greater ramming power to the shield soldier at the front. On the one hand, it is also to prevent the sword and shield soldiers from cracking apart in an instant when they can't hit others. In the closely connected military formation, the soldiers are next to each other, so that the sword and shield soldiers in front can be unloaded.

With a bang, the sword and shield soldiers on both sides slammed into each other. However, in this collision, the two sides were evenly matched. This was not the case when the Beichen Army fought against European soldiers in the past, and their own sword and shield soldiers were always easily knocked back several steps by European soldiers.

This is mainly because of the problem of racial genes, Europe is close to the north, and it is naturally tall and strong. This is something that most Chinese cannot match no matter how they exercise, but China pays more attention to skills, which is also completely unmatched by Europeans.

The thousands of years of martial arts skills of our ancestors will not be understood by Europeans. Even Europeans who learn Chinese martial arts learn at most a look, and they can't learn the real connotation. Because, internal strength is the foundation of Chinese martial arts.

Think of Europe and China, both countries with ancient cultures. But why did there appear many fierce generals on the battlefields of ancient China, who were hundreds of fierce opponents and tearing apart fierce tigers, but Europe was pitiful.

In addition to the traditional custom of picking generals before the battle in ancient China, although it can vigorously demonstrate the ability of military generals. But the strength of the people who are against 100 people is impossible to show in the selection of generals. Rather, it was killed on the battlefield!

The Europeans are tired of this point, and they can't compare, and those fierce generals are not talented, and they all have superb skills. If you really want to let those fierce generals fight against others with all their strength, they will be tired to death.

But China's fierce generals are like clouds, but it doesn't mean that these little pawns also have such strength. Most of the pawns are inferior in strength and physical strength to European soldiers, which is why in the past when fighting Europeans, the sword and shield soldiers always couldn't carry European soldiers.

The natural advantage is there, how can you not compare!

This time, though, the Chinese once again used their clever brains. Countless soldiers clinged to their bodies, so that even the Europeans could not directly hit a dozen Beichen soldiers with their ox forks.

Don't underestimate such a small trick, this is something that many people can't think of. It's easy to say, and it's very simple. But before it appears, you can't think of it even if you're exhausted. The human brain is like that, and you always ignore this trick when it doesn't appear. But after it appears, you realize that you have long understood this trick.

Just like Newton, the apple fell from the tree, and who would dare to say that he had not seen it. But why did Newton alone become a celebrity from this point? It was because the apple hit him and caught his attention.

The sword and shield soldiers on both sides collided with each other and were evenly divided. Then, it was a confrontation between the spearmen and the Changge soldiers. The spears and the spears poked at each other, some stabbing the air, others stabbing the enemy. At this time, no one cares whose weapon is long.

Because the weapons of both armies were about the same length, the European spears inherited their custom in the game, and each one was several meters long. And China's Changge has always been China's longest individual weapon.

None of you can take advantage of weapons, and if you poke me, I can also stab you. However, the Changge of the Beichen Army still has a slight advantage over the spear. That is, the Changge soldiers in the fourth row are idle, and they can use the inverted branches to cut the feet of the alliance soldiers from the gaps in the military formation.

This whole made the entire alliance army's military formation panic. The sword and shield soldiers in the front row (European soldiers are sword and shield soldiers, holding swords in one hand and shields in the other), they don't care about competing with the sword and shield soldiers in front of them, and they begin to fully defend their feet.

After all, as long as your feet are not cut, you won't fall down easily. In this way, you can also continue to protect the spearmen behind you. However, only the day before yesterday was a thief, how could there be a thief the day before yesterday! At first, the European soldiers resisted, but the more they went to the back, the Vietnamese resisted. There is also this enemy's sword and shield soldiers in front of him who are constantly attacking themselves, no matter how much they defend, they can't stop the two of them, they really think they are super bullish soldiers!

Soon, the Union army's military formation was quickly weakened by several layers, and the situation of the battle became more and more dangerous. However, it is not only the coalition army that is facing the crisis. Similarly, several of the Beichen Army's military formations were also in danger. After all, the soldiers of the Europeans still have the advantage of being physically strong, and the pressure on the soldiers of the Beichen Army is indeed very great.

The entire battlefield is now in full swing, and the soldiers on both sides have been fighting continuously for nearly half an hour. At this time, the soldier's strength has not been greatly depleted. But the soldiers had already been killed, and at every moment their robes fell under the attack of the enemy, and even the good friends who had been chatting a moment ago were killed.

Under these circumstances, the soldier's eyes were already filled with the anger in his heart. In the red eyes, there was an endless murderous aura.

On the battlefield, countless soldiers have fallen. But there are still many soldiers, who are still fighting desperately for their lords.
