Chapter 81: The Battle (I)
On the official road, Gao Tian's 500 Heavenly Guards, 5,000 new troops, and 3,000 defenders of Yuanyangyi City were all ready to go. Among them, there were a thousand cavalry, half of them in armor, all of them in the left army of the baby, led by the cavalry general the baby.
In order to ensure the success of this battle, the newly recruited soldier Gao Tian did not bring any of them, and still stepped up training in Yangyi City, and guarded the base camp of Yangyi City.
At this time, in the High Heaven Army, in addition to the five hundred armored cavalry, there were only one thousand armored soldiers, all of whom were concentrated on the front line and the most elite soldiers.
Of the 1,500 pieces of armor, nearly 1,000 pieces of armor were found from the county guard's mansion. Otherwise, the craftsmen in the hands of Gao Tian alone would have created five hundred pieces of armor. And the original 3,000 defenders of Yangyi City did not wear armor.
At this time, Gao Tian was dressed in battle armor and stood under the banner, adding a bit of heroic energy. Between the words, there is a majesty, which is unconvincing. Behind him, stood fierce generals such as Yingbu, Gao Tian, Gao Meng, and Guan Ying.
As for Peng Yue, he had already set off one step earlier and led his headquarters to harass the Qin army. It was precisely because of Peng Yue's attack that the speed of the Qin army slowed down a lot, giving Gao Tian enough time to prepare, and also causing great trouble to the Qin army.
This is really good news for Gao Tian.
"Report!" Half an hour later, a scout half-knelt in front of him and said loudly: "The enemy has been found in front, and the 20,000 Qin troops are already approaching, and there is still half an hour to go." ”
"All troops on alert!" Gao Tian shouted, and the command officer beside him spread the order. This is also an initiative of Gao Tian, which is used to improve the combat capability of the army.
The order was passed out, and suddenly, a team of 8,500 people lined up according to the formation of the fire battalion, and everyone was solemn and solemn. Even in the face of his colleagues, he didn't dare to say anything, and he lined up. Finally, they lined up on a wilderness in front of the official road, and their movements and teams were in unison, which was a quasi-elite army that had been rigorously trained by Gao Tian and had achieved certain results.
This is the military style you need! This is your own army! Gao Tian secretly rejoiced in his heart. He rode to the front of the array, swept the soldiers with a sharp gaze, and said: "Soldiers, the Qin army is tyrannical, they are coming, they want to cut our rice, rob our grain, kill our families, and humiliate our sisters. I'm not going to talk nonsense now, you are willing to go with me into battle to kill the enemy, protect your homeland, and make contributions! ”
"Swear to destroy the tyrannical Qin and save all the people!" The soldiers all responded, shouting loudly.
Gao Tian looked at the army and nodded with satisfaction. And he found that it was the people of the General Staff who were the first to shout, and they were already able to play a mainstay effect in the army. For this reason, Gao Tian is very satisfied.
Gao Tian nodded and said: "This time I personally command the army and supervise the war, if someone escapes from the battle, there will be no forgiveness, the cavalry behind the general is the prison army, whoever dares to retreat, regardless of the fire team and battalion, all of them will be killed!" ”
"Willing to serve the general!" The soldiers' eyes as they looked at the heavens were full of fanatical brilliance, and they shouted loudly.
After mobilization, it is just waiting. In a few moments, enemy scouts appeared in the distance. After looking closely, they will find a positive situation, and the scout hurriedly searched, and even inserted himself into the jungle to see if there was an ambush, and then returned the news.
"What, the enemy is in front of you, blocking our army's way?" Li Qi, the supreme commander of the 20,000 Qin army, listened to the report of the scout captain in front and asked in surprise, "How many enemy troops are there?" Cavalry geometry? Are there any crossbowmen? ”
"General, the enemy army has 8,500 men, with 1,000 cavalry, and no crossbowmen." The Scout Captain replied. Originally, he wanted to say that the enemy's weapons were a little weird, the long weapons were not like Ge, and the short weapons were not like swords. But seeing the eyes of the commander Li Qi, who were already angry, he suddenly closed his mouth with interest.
Li Qi, the supreme commander of the 20,000 Qin army, has been arrogant since he was a child. Although he was the supreme commander of the 20,000 Qin army, after all, it was a local army, not the main army of the Qin army, which made Li Qi very unhappy.
Now in his opinion, the army of the heavens, which is inferior to even thieves, dares to line up in front and block the way of the army, which is really looking for death.
"Come on, Gao Tian'er dares to stand up on the flat ground, we dare to break it, each general will listen to the order, line up and step forward, and the violator will be killed!" Thinking of this, Li Qi could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.
"No!" The generals of the Qin army listened to the order together, and the army stepped forward.
"Kill!" A high-pitched roar was heard in the distance, and groups of soldiers, also in formation, appeared in front.
"Yingbu, Guan Baby, this battle is up to you." Gao Tian handed over the front-line command of the army to Yingbu, who was more proficient in war, and handed over the largest hole card of 1,000 cavalry to the baby. Half of the victory or defeat in this battle is on them.
Yingbu and Guan Ying rode on the horses, their faces were solemn, and they unconsciously carried a bit of solemnity, but they just responded: "No! ”
For his own army, Gao Tian still trusts him very much. The army trains hard, strictly enforces military discipline, and has seen blood, and has big fish and meat to replenish the body. Gao Tian believed that the quality of his soldiers was absolutely above the other party. Combined with the role of the General Staff and the improved ordnance, the army of the High Heavens is absolutely second to none in the world.
If he experienced a few more major battles, Gao Tian even dared to pat his chest and promise that his army was definitely the best in the world.
Gao Tian retracted his mind, his face was joyless and sad, his expression was indifferent, and he looked into the distance. And the five hundred most elite Heavenly Guards stood on the left and right of the High Heavens, and they only listened to the orders of the High Heavens. The five hundred most elite Heavenly Guards stood with swords, and when Gao Tian gave an order, they pounced on them and tore the enemy to pieces.
"Order all the archers to obey the order and prepare to shoot!" Yingbu said.
The officer in charge of the first flag responded to the order, took down the second command flag, and issued the order.
Suddenly, a group of archers quickly moved into action, and under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, they raised arrows and bows.
At this time, the enemy troops also continued to move forward, the ground was trampled and trembled slightly, and the atmosphere between the two armies became more and more tense. But the more nervous it is, the quieter it is, and at this time, it can really be said that the needle drop can be heard.
"Ready!" Yingbu waited for the enemy army to approach, and shouted without hesitation.
With a heavy wave of the banner, a full five hundred archers suddenly raised their bows, each with their longbows full, their bowstrings taut, ready to shoot on their backs.
"Put!" The flag officer pointed to the flag, and the "boom" sound of the arrows was endless, and more than a dozen screams suddenly came out of the enemy's array, and almost at the same time, the enemy army shouted and charged.
In the battlefield, the role of the archer is limited, and he can only shoot within fifty paces, but within fifty steps, if it is not a city wall or high ground, he will only have time to fire an arrow. Although Gao Tian uses a vertical shot, he can also fire an extra arrow at most.
