Chapter 974: Iron Bucket Array
Feng Xiangbu rode all the way unimpeded and came to the outside of Qilin City.
When they were separated from Cao Cao, there were a total of 10,000 dead soldiers in the Shanzi Battalion, the Flying Wing Battalion, and the Xiandeng Battalion, but only about 8,500 people rushed outside Qilin City, and more than 2,000 of them were wounded. I have to admit that the unintentional crowd tactics have brought great trouble to the Fengxiang army, if it weren't for the existence of two powerful long-range troops, if it weren't for the sufficient supply of arrows, the losses of the Fengxiang army would be much greater.
Fortunately, thanks to the intervention of the Jingzhou Mansion, otherwise, whether the Fengxiang Infantry Cavalry Battalion could come to Qilin City or not was two different things.
A Niu is not far thousands of miles away from the expedition unintentionally, since entering Jingzhou did not deliberately hide the line of hiding, has long been widely known, along the way there are constantly players to come close to the onlookers, many amateur "war correspondents" are the whole video, spare no effort for the player's entertainment career.
Qilin City, which is in the center of the whirlpool, is the object of more attention for players.
On the outskirts of Qilin City, the observation position on a slightly higher ground has already gathered many players.
"Hehe, it's finally here, my brother has been waiting for a long time." One of the players laughed.
Most of them are those who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and if no one else expresses their opinions on the war, some people even open a handicap, ignoring the feelings of the parties. The content available for betting is varied: such as how many days the war will be fought, the outcome of the war, which of the two armies will be stronger or weaker, and the estimated number of deaths on both sides are relatively normal, but the handicap of how many subordinate territories of Qilin City will be destroyed, and whether Fengxiang (Qilin) will not kill and kill prisoners are quite speechless.
The successful arrival of the Fengxiang infantry cavalry means that the big war is about to start, and it makes the players who watch the excitement ready to move.
News of the allied war has also spread.
"Inside information: Unintentionally moved the alliance war!"
"Allied wars? Then why did Zheng Aniu come here and send the troops to die? ”
"Oh no. A certain prince is about to be out of luck! ”
"With Zheng Aniu's temperament, he will go on an expedition vigorously, and he will not leave without reaping some benefits. I guess he will definitely not be willing to retreat like this, so he wants to take advantage of the three-day safety period to attack the dependent territory of Qilin City, first turn the perimeter upside down, and then leave before the unintentional allies enter the war. "An analysis of a certain Jingzhou lord. Quite digging.
Outside the Qilin City, 20,000 Qilin troops were waiting for them.
A certain city lord was not surprised by this in the slightest.
Wuxin fully learned the lessons of Bo Gucheng, and the former invincible Dongzi avoided fighting, and the result was. Feng Xiangjun who has no worries. Taking advantage of the range advantage of the flying wing battalion, the subordinate territories of Bo Gucheng were pulled out one by one, and after the war, the construction of the subordinate territories of Bo Gucheng was directly regressed by one or two years. As a fellow lord player, Ah Niu knows very well how strict the consequences of the subordinate territories being completely destroyed are, and Wuxin is not a stupid person. The lessons of the previous car are there, and they will definitely go out of the city to face the battle.
20,000 defenders were placed outside the city, and Feng Xiang did not dare to directly attack the unintentional subordinate territory.
The alliance battle is approaching minute by minute, which is not good for Feng Xiang, and there is a chance to fight in the field. Ah Niu couldn't ask for it.
Yue Xi slapped his horse out of the formation, and the three-pronged Fang Heavenly Halberd pointed to the Qilin Army Formation. "Who dares to fight me? ”
The answer to him was the defender's rhubarb.
You know, Qilin City can also produce rhubarb crossbow production. The previous cannon fodder troops were not equipped, otherwise the crowd tactics might be able to drown the Fengxiang army. Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, they have no intention of equipping the troops with expensive big yellow crossbows, which is not to support the great, but to find death.
Feng Xiang is a fierce general, and it is impossible to fight with Feng Xiang without intention.
Yue Xi had no choice but to take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat.
Xu Rong frowned slightly, he wanted to rely on Yue Xi's brave martial arts formation to kill the enemy generals and hit the morale of the defenders, but he didn't want to accept the call at all. After carefully observing the battle formation of the defenders, Xu Rong already knew what to expect.
"My lord, the other party is well prepared and very targeted."
Ah Niu's face was not good-looking, and he nodded: "I saw that the defenders who went out of the city had a lot of shields, and there were many big shields, and the long-range protection was amazing, obviously guarding our Xiandeng and Flying Wing Battalions, this battle is not easy to fight." However, we have come here thousands of miles and paid a lot of price, not to play around with them. ”
Xu Rongton: "Understood. ”
Flags waved, drums and trumpets thundered.
Zhao Yun took the lead, and more than 2,000 horsemen from the flying wing battalion galloped out from the flanks.
As they approached the range of the defenders, the Wingwing Battalion suddenly turned, and the entire force drew an arc around the defenders' battle formation. In the gallop, the longbow pointed at the sky, and in the "buzzing" sound, the Hercules arrow came out of the string, drawing a parabola in the air, and the range was amazing, and it fell straight into the middle of the defender's battle array!
The Flying Wing Battalion is a strong soldier of Fengxiang, and its usual combat methods, the Qilin Army has a very in-depth understanding.
How dare the defending generals slacken off, as early as when the wings rushed out, they shouted: "Shield! ”
The next moment, there are many shields, covering the whole army!
More than 2,000 long arrows, most of which were blocked by shields, and a few dozen arrows were lucky enough to pass through the gaps between the shields, bringing a little loss to the defenders. The impact of this blow on the defenders was so negligible that it was almost negligible.
Zilong's eyes flashed.
The first two arrows shot a large shield in the front row of the defenders, and the defenders who lost the protection of the shield were killed by the third arrow that followed!
However, the defenders were obviously prepared for such a situation, and immediately a rear row of soldiers rushed forward with shields to fill the gap that Zilong had forcibly punched. Dozens of Hercules arrows failed to seize the opportunity to widen the gap, and the arrows were all blocked by shields, and there was only a "clanging" sound.
In the face of the iron bucket array, the Hercules arrows of the flying wings are difficult to achieve.
The Flying Wing Battalion is not only able to fight from afar, but cannot attack closely, and the Flying Wing Soldiers are also equipped with mounted guns, and their ability to charge into battle is also not weak. But the defenders outside the city were not small troops of several hundred men, two thousand light cavalry attacked the iron bucket formation of 20,000 infantry, which only a madman would do.
Xu Rong is not crazy.
The sound of gold sounded, and the wings immediately retreated.
The flying wings retreated, and the unicorn army immediately advanced!
Two rows of large shields took the lead, with Qilin crossbowmen in the middle, always maintaining a tight array, slowly but surely approaching the Fengxiang army.
Xu Rong's order flag changed again.
A thousand first-landed dead soldiers snatched out, and the first-ascended three-stone rhubarb crossbow had a range advantage compared with the one-stone rhubarb crossbow of the Qilin Army. The first dead soldiers used superb archery skills to constantly attack the flaws of the iron bucket array, and some of the dead soldiers even lay on the ground to greet the Qilin army in three ways, once the big shield of the defenders in the front row was more than 20 centimeters above the ground, it was likely to suffer a terrible blow.
For a while, screams continued to be heard in the iron bucket array.
However, the long-term targeted training made the Qilin Army not stop, they were well prepared, and the bloody lessons in the actual combat made them constantly adjust, and the iron bucket formation became closer and stronger.
Fifty paces, hundreds of defenders were killed or wounded by the blows of the first board.
The casualties were not large, but the Qilin soldiers were all frightened, you know, this iron bucket array they have been practicing for a long time, specially designed to restrain the two long-range arms of Fengxiang, in order to pursue greater protection, they are equipped with as many shields as possible, reducing the number of long weapons. I thought that such a formation was enough to make Fengxiang's two long-range troops desperate, but I didn't expect that the other party would still be able to see the stitches and be hit if they were not careful.
However, the effect of the Iron Bucket Formation was obvious, and although there were a few casualties, the overall situation was still quite stable, which greatly increased the confidence of the Qilin Army. They kept moving forward under the terrifying rain of arrows of the first dead soldiers!
Ju Yi's eyes were glazed: "There are so many shields, they belong to the tortoise!" ”
Sima Hengli was eager to try: "It's not easy to fight with a crossbow, but they definitely have to be intimidated in close combat." ”
Ju Yi shook his head: "They also have big yellow crossbows, and there are many people, and when they get closer, we can't bear it." ”
Sima Hengli disagreed: "It's not certain who does whom, brothers are not afraid of death!" ”
Ju Yi was furious: "No one is afraid of death, but that's not how the battle is fought." ”
The brave and belligerent Ruju Yi also knew that the Fengxiang army, which could not replenish its troops, should try to avoid fighting with the enemy before the decisive battle, even if it killed and injured a large number of troops in Qilin City, it could quickly re-recruit enough troops without intention. Ju Yi understands the truth, how can Ah Niu and Xu Rong not see it?
Xu Rong's order finally came: the whole army retreated.
Qilin City Head, unintentionally calmly watched the withdrawal of the Fengxiang army, without joy or sorrow.
Beside him, the players of Wildfire Part 3 thundered with joy.
"They're withdrawn, haha!"
"Zheng Aniu is too big, this little army is coming to attack Qilin City, no wonder he slipped away with his tail between his legs."
"If you want to go, it's so easy, just the right thing to win and pursue!"
Unintentionally shook his head: "You can't chase." ”
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yu Wenhao hurriedly explained: "They took the initiative to retreat, just to lure us into pursuit. As soon as we pursued, the iron bucket formation was in chaos, and the formation was in disarray, and we could not stop the attack of the Flying Wing Battalion and the first dead soldiers. Once the troops outside the city are killed and scattered, the Fengxiang army will no longer have any scruples, and it will be difficult for us to keep even the affiliated territories. ”
The Qilin Army did not pursue, and the Fengxiang Army did not stop to continue the senseless confrontation, retreating ten miles to camp.
This distance, the foot soldiers can be less than half an hour, the cavalry needs less time, if the Qilin army goes forward, the flying wing battalion can rely on the degree advantage to kill outside the Qilin City again, although it is unable to attack the main city, but before the defenders return to defense, it is more than enough to break through one or two affiliated territories.
Seeing that Fengxiang's army was encamped, he didn't dare to press too hard.
The Qilin army did not dare to pursue, nor did they dare to retreat into the city, and it was extremely uncomfortable. It is impossible for this force to stay outside the city all the time.
Ten minutes later.
A lord army appears under Kirin City.
The leader of the troops was a strong barbarian general, and his 10,000 troops were all brute soldiers.
The "Shar Pei Dog", which once shined in the battle against Dong Zhuo, reappeared.
The clouds that have always been low-key and the wind are light and light appear at the same time.
Jiaozhou's powerful territory is involved in this war! (To be continued.) )
