Straddled the black horse, Zhang Fei quietly watched the movement of the Yellow Turban Army, suddenly, the Yellow Turban Army moved, about 10,000 Yellow Turban Army divided into three teams from the left, center and right three directions to advance towards the Dingping Army Circular Formation, at the same time, dozens of light vehicles and crossbows followed.

"Crossbowman ready!"

Zhang Fei shouted.

The spearmen and swordsmen behind the tower shield immediately crouched down, and nearly 4,000 strong crossbowmen drew their arrows and aimed ahead.

The sound of the enemy's footsteps grew louder and louder, the image in his eyes grew louder and louder, and every soldier could clearly hear his own gasps.

"Rush!"

The Yellow Turbans shouted violently, and then 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers howled and charged, and the dull footsteps suddenly became abrupt.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The 4,000-strong crossbowmen of the Dingping Army pulled the trigger sharply, and 4,000 sharp arrows flew towards the Yellow Turban Army that had already launched a charge.

The rain of arrows and locusts flew in the air, and the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground one after another, but this did not stop the Yellow Turban Army's advance, and the Yellow Turban Army soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Dingping Army's circle formation.

At the same time, the crossbow following the Yellow Turban Army also began to fire towards the circle formation of the Dingping Army, the guns and arrows flew with a dull whistling sound and the rain of arrows, smashing on the outermost tower shield and making a dull loud noise, more than a dozen tower shields shattered and fell, and the tower shield soldiers behind fell to the ground with blood spurting blood from their mouths and noses, and the soldiers behind hurriedly dragged the injured tower shield soldiers to the center of the circle array, and some tower shield soldiers quickly filled the gap.

The ranged units of both sides exchanged fires, and in the period leading up to the hand-to-hand combat, soldiers on both sides continued to fall under each other's arrows.

The Yellow Turban Army rushed to the front of the circle from three directions, and then the sword and shield hands of the Yellow Turban Army rushing to the front suddenly stopped, forming a temporary front, and almost at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army spearmen holding three-meter spears rushed towards the Dingping Army Circle Formation, they obviously wanted to use their spears to break through the outermost tower shield wall of the Dingping Army.

The pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army shouted and rushed towards the circle. Thousands of strong crossbowmen of the Dingping Army slammed the trigger.

Locust-like arrows swooped down on the Yellow Turban pikemen at close range.

Arrows as dense as flying locusts whizzed through the pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army, and the screams came one after another, and the pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground one by one.

This rain of arrows had just passed, and the pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army were already close at hand.

"Engage!"

Zhang Fei's lieutenant Qi Yong shouted.

"Hah!"

The 20,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and at the same time, the entire circle slowly moved towards the direction of the Yellow Turban Army, looking like a moving fortress from a distance.

The pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army used the spears in their hands to poke at the gap between the towers and shields, and the sound of ding-dong poking sounded. From time to time, a spear came out of the gap and pierced into the body of the Dingping soldier, and the soldier fell down screaming, and immediately a soldier took his place, and at the same time the wounded soldier was dragged into a small open space in the formation.

Although the soldiers newly assigned to the second battalion did not find their position at first, after all, they had also received training in various battle formations of the Dingping Army, and once they understood their position and entered the combat state, they also knew what they should do.

After being attacked, the Dingping army did not sit still, while advancing to the enemy in the circle, the strong crossbowmen in the formation desperately released arrows, locust-like arrows flew through the enemy, the enemy soldiers were shot to the ground one after another, the pikemen of the Dingping army were not idle, they used spears to kill, although the spears used by the pikemen of the Dingping army were not as long as the Yellow Turban Army, but, with the help of the previous impetus of the circle array and the protection of the tower shield, their killing efficiency was greater, and the spears continued to spit out from the gap between the tower shields, The blood of the Yellow Turbans continued to spray on the tower shields, and groups of Yellow Turban spearmen fell under the spears in front of the circle.

Thousands of spearmen of the Yellow Turban Army were pressed by the circular formation of the Dingping Army and slowly retreated, and on the whole, the Yellow Turban Army was inferior.

"Formation!"

A Yellow Turban Army general suddenly shouted.

After receiving the order, the Yellow Turban Saber and Shield Men immediately formed a circle formation, but the circle formation formed by the Yellow Turban Army was very different from that of the Dingping Army, the Dingping Army was a large circle formation as a whole, while the Yellow Turban Army was a dozen small round formations, and the sword and shield soldiers were in the outermost outer, and the spearmen and spears were in the same order.

Thousands of pikemen of the Yellow Turban Army, who were unfavorable to the Dingping Army's round formation, retreated, and more than 2,000 corpses of the Yellow Turban Army had fallen on the battlefield.

"Attack!"

The Yellow Turban Army generals in one of the circles shouted.

Immediately, the Yellow Turban Army formed a dozen small circular formations in an arc and slowly pressed towards the Dingping Army formation, the Yellow Turban Army kept shouting, neatly stepping forward, looking extraordinary, the Yellow Turban Army did this not only to show momentum, but also a means of coordination, listen carefully, the Yellow Turban Army shouted a bit like the trumpets of the slender men.

"I'm afraid the Dingping Army has never seen such a formation!"

A subordinate general beside Du Xiang said very self-righteously.

Looking at the battlefield with a slight frown, Du Xiang said in a deep voice: "Our army's battle formation is just a trick that can't be put on the table in the eyes of the Dingping Army!" ”

Hearing Li Damu say this, the general of the Yellow Turban Army was dumbfounded.

The dozen or so circular formations of the Yellow Turban Army slowly moved towards the large circular formation of the Dingping Army, and the thousands of pikemen who had retreated before were forming a formation in the back. At this time, the large circle formation of the Dingping Army had come to a halt.

The strong crossbowmen of the Dingping Army in the round formation kept releasing arrows, and the target was concentrated on the two nearest Yellow Turban Army round formations, and the arrows rained down on the shields of the Yellow Turban Army, making a rapid sound like rain hitting banana leaves, and from time to time the Yellow Turban Army soldiers were shot down by arrows.

At the same time, the crossbows of the Yellow Turban Army were also firing non-stop, which caused considerable losses to the Ping Army.

The two sides finally engaged, and the light vehicle crossbows of the Yellow Turban Army were already dumb at the moment, and the strong crossbowmen of the Dingping Army were also difficult to effectively attack because of the distance and angle.

More than a dozen Yellow Turban Army round formations were crowded on top of the Dingping Army Circle in a half-moon shape, and nearly 30,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers shouted, and at the same time pushed the Dingping Army Circle Formation with all their might. The tower shield soldiers of the Dingping army struggled to resist the tower shield, and the soldiers behind also shouted hard. The loud clicking sound was numb, and it was the unpleasant sound of the shields rubbing against each other under the strong force. The pikemen on both sides swooped down and slashed at each other from the bottom plate, and the soldiers at the front of both sides kept screaming and falling.

With the passage of time, the edges of the Dingping Army's large circle array facing the enemy have been concave to varying degrees, and the Dingping Army seems to have fallen behind in this kind of confrontation. It turned out that the small circle formation of the Yellow Turban Army was more able to concentrate everyone's strength in this kind of squeeze battle, while the large circle formation of the Dingping Army was a little clumsy, and the dozen or so small circle formations of the Yellow Turban Army dispersed the overall strength of the Dingping Army.

Zhang Fei frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, and suddenly ordered: "Shrink the formation!" ”

The Dingping Army, which was struggling to support, suddenly roared, and all the soldiers immediately retreated inward, this retreat was not hectic but very orderly, and all the soldiers were facing outward and retreating. The Yellow Turban Army couldn't keep up with the speed of the Dingping Army for a while, and the two sides immediately disengaged from contact.

In the blink of an eye, the large circle of the Dingping army has shrunk by more than half, and the tower shield soldiers are still surrounded by the outermost periphery, but at this moment, the defensive line composed of the tower shield is only much stronger than before on the surface, and the spearmen poke out the spears from the gap between the tower shields, forming a dense forest of guns, and the soldiers who have not made a move, at this time also stood behind the spearmen and pikemen, and the Dingping army circle formation at this moment is like a huge hedgehog.

"Rush forward!"

The general of the Yellow Turban Army, who was commanding the battle in the military formation, shouted.

Nearly 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers shouted, and then more than a dozen circular formations were launched again, pressing towards the battle formation of the Dingping Army with great momentum.

"Huh?"

Du Xiang, who was in the rear, frowned, he felt that something was wrong with the situation at the moment, because at this time, a lot of blades suddenly appeared on the round formation of the Dingping Army, which was not seen before, although Du Xiang couldn't see what it was for, but he had a vague premonition.

When the Yellow Turban Army Circle Formation was about to make contact with the Dingping Army Round Array, Zhang Fei in the formation suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Turn! ”

The officers and men of the Dingping Army shouted in unison, and almost at the same time, the hedgehog-like circle turned.

As the hedgehog array began to rotate, the blades that extended from it immediately hooked the edge of the Yellow Turban Army's circular formation, and the shields protected by the Yellow Turban Army's periphery were immediately pulled to pieces by its huge inertial force, and then the nightmare of the Yellow Turban Army that lost the protection of the formation began.

Under the action of inertial force, the dense spear as cold and shining as a hedgehog ruthlessly swept through the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the screams were repeated, and the Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground with blood splashed one after another, some were swept in the legs, and the soldiers fell to the ground screaming with their wounds; Some were swept into the abdomen, and Bai Huahua's intestines were immediately exposed; Some of them had their heads cut off, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The circular formations of the Yellow Turban Army crashed into the hedgehog formations of the Dingping Army one after another, and immediately followed in the footsteps of the former.

By the end, the whole battlefield was in chaos. The hedgehog array of the Dingping Army kept turning, the cold and shining blades were dripping with blood, and nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Dingping Army let out neat shouts from time to time, accompanied by neat footsteps like thunder. Tens of thousands of scattered Yellow Turban Army barbarians were being ruthlessly slaughtered, the ground was full of stumps, severed arms and corpses, the blood was particularly dazzling under the scorching sun, and the strong smell of blood violently stimulated everyone's noses, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers continued to retreat with a frightened look on their faces, but there were still brave howls rushing forward, but the result can be imagined.

"Immediately Mingjin retreats!"

Du Xiang said urgently.

The subordinate general beside him, who had been shocked and discolored, suddenly woke up, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

The sound of the golden bell rang loudly, and the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army, who were already on the verge of collapse, retreated towards the Chinese army like a tide.

"Spread out! Cover up the whole army! ”

Zhang Fei shouted suddenly.

The outermost tower shield immediately spread out in all directions, and more than 10,000 spearmen and knife hands shouted to kill, covering and killing the Yellow Turban Army who were retreating in panic.

"Not good!"

Du Xiang's face changed and exclaimed.
