Put yourself in their shoes, who can do better than Zhu Biao?
Maybe the people who are not ashamed dare to say that they can do better, and the people who think very highly of themselves will still despise Zhu Biao, and there will be no heroes when they make the erector famous!
But Ling Jun was neither ashamed of his words, nor did he think highly of himself, he really felt that he was not as strong as Zhu Biao, and he was not as good as Zhu Biao. [This article is from]
The lessons of the Battle of Assassin Prefecture are vivid, how can he not worry about himself?
Is there much difference between a 70,000 army and a 100,000 army? Not much of a deal.
If the Song army can easily defeat 70,000 of its own army, can't it defeat 100,000?
Ling Jun could only make a majestic appearance to hide his inner apprehension and fear.
The hemp rod is afraid of beating the wolf at both ends, how does Ling Jun know, Zhu Biao is also worried.
His family knows his own affairs, and Zhu Biao clearly knows how much combat power he has in his hands. Of course, he didn't have a way to defeat the opposing army, using 40,000 refugees as bait, it was easy to win the 100,000 Zhou army.
But Zhu Biao couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to ruin his last reputation.
If he really used the refugees collected by Liyang as bait, he would completely break through his moral bottom line. In that big flood, 100,000 people died, and the people had already put on Yuan Shikai's hat - the slaughter, and the system also increased its reputation to 90+, which completely resounded all over the world. It's a pity that there is a bad reputation.
The ensuing effect is that the system also brings a hat to itself, also called 'Mintu', and the effect is ten times more likely to be assassinated by the masters of the Central Plains Righteous Path within a year!
This is only the assassination of the Central Plains Jianghu, not the reaction of Tianjing. It really hurts him!
Zhu Biao absolutely did not want the refugee to be a bait. In that case, even if he returned to the Northern Han Dynasty and was asked, he would be embarrassed. This is a complete trampling on morality!
But without this method, it was really difficult for Zhu Biao to think of how to take less than 40,000 foot cavalry to clean up the enemy army of 100,000 in a short time. Perhaps, this time the refugees will have to pay sacrifices when they go to war. They no longer have a quiet life behind the veteran's ass.
At dawn the next day, the trumpet sounded. The whole army got up and buried the pot to cook. A trace of fish belly white suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and the black curtain was quietly pulled away, and the morning slowly came.
It was punctual and the sky was already bright. The scout came to report that the Zhou army in the county town had already run out.
At the time of the hour, the sun is in the southeast.
On the fields of Wujing County, more than 100,000 people from the two armies lined up.
The Zhou army pressed directly from the county seat to the county seat. Zhu Biao is not afraid to fight. The morale he had finally mustered up, but he was unwilling to let it go.
There are two more states in front of Shizhou, and then Bozhou can see the shadow of the Tang Army. The journey is now only halfway there.
Therefore, Zhu Biao must always remain 'invincible' and 'invincible'.
If the enemy is in the middle of the city. It makes sense to avoid it. But the enemy has already been killed from the city, and before the battle of Zhouzhi, Zhu Biao can't retreat this time.
Perhaps, the refugees will also suffer a pain, so that they can maintain a higher degree of consistency with the Chinese army.
The hunting wind was blowing, and the soldiers of the two armies were silent.
Chen An is on the left, and Zhang Nan is in the middle. Wu Boniu is on the right, and Lu Tong is in the front. The fourth battalion of infantry armor, the main force of the Song army's infantry army.
Seven thousand cavalry marched behind, led by Zhu Biao himself. In front was a 3,000-foot army led by Ren Pingnan.
The rest of the song. Together with Wang Jiuling, Jiao Ming and others, and 40,000 refugees, nearly 50,000 people guarded the camp. Of course, they also formed a formation, and when the instructions were issued in the front phalanx, the men and horses in the large camp had to obey unconditionally and absolutely. King Song, this mascot. Sits.
"Drumming! Enter! ”
Zhu Biao took the first step and attacked 100,000 people with 30,000 people.
The army lined up in a wide distance of eight hundred paces. Steadily advancing with a pointed cone formation, the momentum is magnificent.
The sound of war drums, footsteps, the shouts of soldiers, and the sonorous sound of armor converged into a wave of sound, like a giant hammer striking on the earth, making a shocking and thrilling sound.
Ling Jun's inner apprehension became even more intense. Will a famous man like Zhu Biao kill himself? The answer is clearly no. But in this case, what is the purpose of him taking 30,000 men to attack his 40,000 army? After thinking about it, Ling Jun couldn't get the point, so he was beating the drum in his heart.
100,000 Zhou troops, more than 80,000 infantry armor, 15,000 cavalry, and 2,000 Ling Jun's personal soldiers.
"Command the cavalry to attack-" test the truth and truth.
"No!" The flag was immediately waved.
The 5,000 cavalry roared and roared all the way like a flood that burst the embankment, carrying the smoke and dust and wind and thunder all the way, and the momentum was also amazing.
Zhu Biao immediately ordered the army to stop.
"Drumming ......"
"The herald ordered the Lutong battalion to take cover. Crossbowmen ready to shoot. ”
Zhu Biao's orders were conveyed one by one, and the war drums, bannermen, and heralds were busy like butterflies.
The turret captured in the First Battle of the Prefecture was placed at the forefront by Lu Tong, and the two-foot-long three-foot-long horse-repelling gun was mounted on the turret.
The Lutong battalion consisted of 5,000 men, all of whom were dressed in heavy armor. The formation width is 250 paces, and there are 200 people in a column, a total of 25 columns.
At first glance, it is a very simple rectangular array, but this rectangular array is horizontally organized except for the first five rows, and the remaining twenty columns are all vertically formed.
After Zhu Biao's victory in the battle of Qianjiang, he immediately bought a formation map with 1,000 gold, and trained until today. The battle of state governance is the first test of the edge, and today's battle is the real test.
Because although this military formation has a lofty position in the history of Chinese warfare, it is a small formation with few soldiers, and most of the examples of wars applied to it are the fighting of several thousand enemies or at most 10,000 or 20,000 people. But when put into the Great Legion Fight, will the effect be so good?
That formation is extremely targeted, but it also has absolute flaws in long-range strikes. So Zhu Biao really didn't dare to take it out and use it. In the first battle of the state rule, he only applied it to melee combat, and the effect was really good. The squad of sergeants fought and achieved remarkable results.
This time, the risk is even greater, and Zhu Biao can only take a bigger risk once.
"Squeak, squeak......" A strong bow was pulled apart. The bowstring tauted, and the bow arm made a twisting sound.
In the middle of the 5,000 men, five horizontal columns and 1,000 foot archers are all the long-range strike forces of the Lutong battalion.
The 20% counterweight ratio is not high, but if this thousand-step archer is holding a longbow with more than one stone and five buckets, it will be absolutely amazing.
The longbow is the uniform name for the foot bow, just as the short bow represents the riding bow.
The standard materials used to make zuò are a piece of water. The Great Zhou has been peaceful for thirty years, and it is fully armed. All of them are first-class materials. And because of the difference between this era and the earth, the lowest pulling force of the longbow in the Central Plains Army also starts from one stone, such as the six-bucket bow and eight-bucket bow in the Tang and Song dynasties of China, which will not appear in the army at all.
One stone and two buckets are hard bows, and one stone and five buckets are two stones, which are strong bows. The longbow two stones above it could no longer be popularized in the army. Such power. Only generals and martial arts masters can pull it.
Because the bow arm is padded with animal horns and tendons, the strength and toughness of this bow are very good, and the range can reach up to 300 steps. A one-stone longbow can also have a range of between 150 and 180 steps, and can effectively kill a distance of 120 steps, which is very powerful in this range.
The configuration of the army's infantry archers generally has a fixed rule, and there are many troubles. First of all, it requires a specific tool to use. Because Zhang Gong is struggling. Archers need to wear a wrench when pulling their bows, and they need to put them on their thumbs to hook the strings, and they also need to put leather zuò fingers on their index, middle, and ring fingers. to prevent finger damage. Secondly, in the process of use, it is also necessary to be equipped with a large number of bowstrings and arrows. The pulling force of the strong bow is very great, and the loss of the bowstring is also large. And for the difference in the object of shooting. Shafts and arrowheads vary in size, shape, and weight, so a wide variety of arrows must be manufactured.
Generally speaking. It is two categories: white feather arrows and eagle arrows. The former is the main, and the latter is secondary. Because even the most common carved arrows also have a strong lethality and armor-piercing effect.
Using a longbow is much more expensive to maintain and support than a sword, gun, and shield. And the strong bow is the elite and the best among them.
Zhu Biao screened the whole army, but only found 13,400 strong archers, which only accounted for about 20% of the total.
Therefore, there are 1,000 archers out of 5,000 people in the Lutong battalion, the proportion is small, but the quality is fine.
Lu Tong visually measured the distance between the two sides, which is the most basic ability of a general, and then made a gesture to the Lingqi soldiers beside him.
Now the roar on the battlefield is so loud that not to mention face-to-face speech, even the sound of war drums is drowned out by the galloping hooves of war horses.
The military commander of the strong archers has been keeping a close eye on the eye-catching banner in front of him. Their vision would be obstructed by the warriors in front of them, and they could not know the movement of the enemy cavalry in front of them, except that they could feel the shaking of the ground and the roar that filled their ears.
One qiē, all the actions are completely commanded by the command flag in the army. When the military commander saw that the former military command flag had changed color, he immediately shouted at the flag soldiers around him, and several flag soldiers struggled to shake the flag that opened their bows and was ready to be launched in the military formation.
The thousand-step archer raised his strong bow.
The two sides are one hundred and fifty paces apart.
Lu Tong raised his arms and shouted: "Let go...... Put ......"
In front of the formation, the high command flag swayed in the air.
A thousand archers, who had just drawn their strong bows, released their bowstrings at the same time.
In an instant, arrows rained down, arrows flew like locusts, and the sky was dark.
The Shizhou cavalry galloped in. When they saw the arrows whizzing from the sky, they immediately leaned down and raised their left arm with a leather shield. The shield rises, and the arrow comes.
With the dull sound of arrows entering the body, the horses neighed miserably, the soldiers howled in grief, and the men and animals were hit by arrows one after another, and the hooves of countless horses that rose and fell behind suddenly trampled them to a bloody blur.
Long arrows flew in the air, obscuring the sun.
Shizhou's 5,000 cavalry were still galloping, and there were countless dead and wounded.
The leading lieutenant continued to raise his sword and shouted: "Rush, speed up and rush in......"
But no one heard what he was shouting, and in the face of the long arrows that roared in front of them, the Shizhou cavalry sincerely felt fear and despair. The arrow array on the opposite side is neatly aligned, dense like a storm, making people have nowhere to hide. More and more Shizhou cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, more and more war horses flew sideways, and the cavalry within the range of the strong bow had almost no hope of survival once they were hit, they were cavalry in the charge.
Injury and falling from a horse is death!
Finally, a cavalry Qu took the lead in rushing out of the arrow array, only thirty paces away. If the Lutong battalion is six thousand people. Zhu Biao will also equip them with five hundred crossbowmen. The crossbowmen can exert their strength at this time. It's just that the Lutong battalion has only 5,000 troops, and there are only 1,000 strong archers. The first five platoons of them had only stilts, heavy shields, and long repellent pistols!
The Shizhou cavalry, who rushed out of the arrow cover, let out an angry roar, and quickly urged the war horse, increasing the speed to the maximum.
"Prepare to ramble!" At the front of the military column, behind the turret, the cold voice of the leading soldier Sima sounded.
Two columns of slurs, two columns of repulsive horse guns, and one column of knife and axe hands, this is the military strength of the front of the Lutong battalion. in the camp. The two Dubs with board axes stretched out their hands to each other at the same time, swarthy and smiling. "Goodbye to death."
"Take care."
"Brothers, let's go, let......'s go," the two looked back. Raising their arms and shouting, each with his sword and axe hand from Pontus, he was ready to rush to the front row.
Lu Hao's expression was extremely nervous, his eyes widened, his hands tightly grasped the reins of the horse, and he was engrossed in looking at the battlefield, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his mouth kept muttering: "It's close." Closer, bumped, bumped, bumped into ......"
This is the leader of the Shizhou cavalry.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The Shizhou cavalry jumped up. Fly towards the giant shield with its mouth wide open. The rejecting rifle stood out, its sharp blade revealing a bloodthirsty hideousness. One rode into it, and the other died. These Shizhou cavalry knew their fate, but they were powerless to change it. Only by reopening the canopy in front of you will there be a trace of vitality. So both sides are fighting to the death!
The heavy shield soldiers who were increased by the attributes of Zhu Biao's troops carried the huge oars tightly one by one, and there were logs thicker than the thighs of strong men behind them. They become a wall of iron. With the cooperation of the horse rejecting gun, he did not hesitate to devour one fresh life after another. Blood bursts out.
Charge, impact, death.
Team after team of Shizhou cavalry rushed out of the arrow array, and with no way to retreat, they were full of hatred, gritted their teeth, and slammed their horses into the Song army array. Whom shall they curse? Is it Song Jun? Or the general who commanded them to send them to their deaths?
Blood covered the front of the battle. The charging Shizhou cavalry gradually blurred their minds in the blood, and they were stimulated by the death of their comrades and their own mission, like a group of hungry and red-eyed wild wolves, surrounding the huge prey and began to attack and tear.
And what they left behind was destined to be a mess of flesh and blood and blurred human and animal remains.
The sound of killing shook the sky. The drums of war soared into the sky and shook the sky.
The slug shattered, and two Song heavy shield soldiers were knocked to death, one of them flew in the air and smashed heavily into the eyes of Jun Sima, and the blood spurting from the mouth of the dead Song soldier stained the combat boots under Jun Sima's feet red. Jun Sima rushed out, and rushed out with his spear clenched in the face of the Shizhou cavalry who were following in at the gap.
The Shizhou cavalry used spears, and with the momentum of the war horses, the spears were shaken into a ball, and five or six spear heads stabbed towards the military horses. The military commander turned around at the moment before the tip of the spear approached, and the spear was aimed at the neck of the galloping horse.
Blood splattered, and the horses neighed in pain.
Behind Jun Sima, a soldier with a sword and shield rolled over, the shield was blocked overhead, and the Yanling knife turned horizontally, and immediately cut off the horse's front hooves. The war horse fell to the ground, the cavalry on the horse fell, and another soldier of the army Sima shouted, picked up with a knife, and chopped off with a knife before the cavalry's body tumbling in the air fell.
Hand up and knife down.
The roar on the battlefield gradually weakened, the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and gradually thinned, and the bloody battle became more ferocious and fierce.
The 5,000 Shizhou cavalry returned with 2,000 people, and the Song army suffered very few casualties, and the attrition sent to Zhu Biao was only 200 people, including hundreds of seriously wounded.
The galloping war horse crashed on the slur, which was an absolutely difficult test for the heavy shield soldiers of the Song army behind it. Even if there is a repulsion pistol in front and a log pillar in the back, once or twice, the huge force of the countershock is enough to seriously injure or even kill the heavy shield soldiers.
Ling Jun's face was solemn, the casualties of three thousand cavalry gave him a sufficient understanding of the power of the Song army's array.
Lu Hao's face was miserable and he hit his horse in front of Ling Jun, "General, the frontal defense of the Song army is amazing, and the last general is powerless. "The cavalry must not do any more to charge the battle, otherwise the team will be crippled.
"I'll give way to the press. The cavalry then only needs to watch the Song reverse cavalry. Ling Jun didn't force Lu Hao. The cavalry failed to charge head-on, and he could see Zhu Biao's intentions in such a military column.
The cavalry hid behind the infantry formation, and looked like it was blocked by the infantry formation. But in fact, it is better to ensure its two wings.
Because after the Song army had cavalry, Ling Jun himself did not dare to attack the flank of the Song army with the Shizhou cavalry that could not be charged head-on.
Shine your flank to the enemy, that's a meat bun to beat the dog, there is no return.
If the Shizhou cavalry wants to attack the two flanks of the Song army, their direction of charge will be perpendicular to the Song army's array, in that case, the Song army's rear cavalry attack, will it also impact the flank of the Shizhou cavalry?
The cavalry fights, whose flanks or rearguards are killed, but it is a defeat that the gods can't recover.
It was precisely when Ling Jun saw this clearly that he was stunned to realize a deeper meaning in Zhu Biao's arrangement. At the same time, I also understood the fact that if you want to fight with the Song army, there will only be a confrontation with the infantry corps today. So he just let the cavalry stand aside neatly, so that Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
The war drums in the Shizhou army rumbled.
There were 30,000 people in the front army, 10,000 people in a formation, and the flags were flying, obscuring the line of sight, and the specific arrangement of troops could not be seen clearly. In the shape of a pin, it pressed towards Song Jun violently.
The purple battle flag, the purple uniform, and from a distance, it is a rising purple cloud.
In the Song army's array, all departments did not move.
Lu Tong adjusted his military columns in a small area, and the second line of the slug and the horse gun moved forward to the first line, and the heavy shield soldiers and spearmen of the first line moved back...... (To be continued)
