Chapter 432 Battle
Shangguan Xiu led the right flank of the Zhenjun army, a corps and two fire battalions, to meet the Changguan front army on the left flank of the rebels. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There were more than 60,000 troops on the left flank of the Changguan Division, and the strength was five times that of Shangguan Xiu's side, and the difference in strength between the two sides was extremely large.
Watching the advance of the rebels on the opposite side, Shangguan Xiu suddenly had an illusion, as if it was the Zhenjun army that was coming.
The battle pattern of the Changguan rebels was exactly the same as that of the Zhenjun army, and as they advanced, the soldiers fought their shields as they advanced, and they shouted in unison: "Wind, wind, wind—" to boost their morale.
Soon, the distance between the two sides was only about a mile. Shangguan Xiu'an sat on his horse and pulled out the saber in his rib with his hand. As he drew his sword, the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army also struck their shields with their weapons, shouting in unison: "Wind, wind, wind!"
The slogans shouted by both sides were exactly the same, except for the color of the uniforms, which looked like an army.
Six hundred steps, five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps...... Shangguan Xiu silently calculated in his heart, the rebels did not have firearms, they could only use bows and arrows at a long range, and the wind army's arrow array was domineering and famous, with a maximum range of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty steps.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu had not reached the order to attack for a long time, Xiao Jue, who was beside him, was a little breathless, stepped forward, and reminded: "Brother Xiu, the enemy army has entered the range of our army's arms battalion!"
"Wait! Let the rebels get closer!" Shangguan Xiu squinted his eyes and stared intently at the oncoming rebels, the front of the rebels were all heavy shield soldiers, and the power of the fire gun was not enough to break the heavy shield soldiers. The good-looking novel is in the black = rock = cabinet
As the minutes ticked by, the rebel advance continued, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced from 300 to 200 paces. At this time, the shouting and shouting in the rebel camp was clearly audible.
"The first battalion is on the arrow!", "The second battalion is on the arrow!" "The third battalion is on the arrow!" "......"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, the rebels' arrow array was coming, and he suddenly raised the saber in his hand. As he raised his sword, the two battalions of firearms at the front retreated in unison, but they did not retreat far, and the soldiers only retreated about five steps.
But as they retreated, two guns were revealed in front of each of the two musketeer battalions.
The artillery had already been loaded, and soldiers with torches stood next to the artillery. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, and the saber he raised vigorously wanted to fall forward, pointing at the rebels on the opposite side.
Seeing his knife drop, the soldiers next to the cannon immediately lit the gunpowder twist on the gun door.
When the medicine twist burned, the soldiers retreated. Boom, boom, boom, boom! With four deafening loud noises, flames erupted from the barrels of the four guns.
The broken stones, iron pieces and iron pieces in the barrel were sprayed out together, hitting the rebel camp on the opposite side, and there was a terrible scream.
I saw the heavy shield soldiers at the forefront of the rebel camp, and under the heavy blow of broken stone and iron pieces, the human shields were shattered, and a cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared.
The rebels who walked behind were stunned, and it was the first time they had seen artillery on the battlefield.
Immediately after the cannon was fired, some soldiers stepped forward and refilled the barrel with gunpowder and crushed iron sheets of iron, and at the same time, the musketeers all picked up their guns and opened fire on the opposite side.
Losing the protection of the heavy shield soldiers in the front row, the projectiles of the fire guns hit the rebels directly, and as a row of blood mist rose, the soldiers of the rebel phalanx also fell a whole row of people. Under the command of the deputy battalion lieutenant, the people all picked up the guns and continued to fire forward, shooting the projectiles, and then without looking at the situation of the enemy, the people immediately retreated and gave up their positions, and the soldiers of the third row stepped forward to fill their positions.
This is a completely standardized attack, and the soldiers do not need to use their brains to think, they only need to follow the movements they practice on a daily basis: forward and fill, shoot with their guns, retreat and give way, reload ammunition, wait for the shot, and cycle in turn.
By the time the rebels on the opposite side had finally stabilized their positions and re-erected their heavy shields in the front row, the guns of the Musketeers battalion had also been loaded and opened fire on the opposite side. The heavy shields that the rebels had just erected were bombarded by the artillery, and the soldiers behind were still exposed to the attack of the firecrackers.
At this time, the advance of the rebels was equivalent to a suicidal advance, and the continuous fire attacks in the fire battalion continued to attack it, and the soldiers in front fell row after row.
If the enemy on the opposite side was the Shah army, I am afraid that at this time, I would have scattered and fled in defeat, but the rebels of Wind County were still advancing, as if they were cold-blooded machines that were not afraid of life and death.
Because the artillery of the fire battalion was not yet fully equipped, each battalion had only two guns, one for the left battalion and one for the right battalion, which could not achieve the effect of completely killing and injuring the heavy shield soldiers in the front row of the enemy.
At this time, the arrows in the rebel camp began to shoot sparsely. Seeing this, the musketeers of the Musket Battalion continued to shoot, while the spearmen put their spears, picked up their bows and arrows, and used the principle of arrow parabola to shoot at the enemy behind the rebel heavy shield soldiers.
The two sides then enter the battle mode of archery versus fire mixed with fire bolt attacks. As the rebels got closer and closer, the power of the rebels' arrow arrays became more and more powerful, and from time to time the soldiers of the fire battalion fell to the ground with arrows, and of course, the casualties on the rebel side were much greater.
Seeing that the advance of the rebels was becoming more and more unstoppable, Shangguan Xiuzhou's body emitted mist, and the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldiers were completed together, he turned around and shouted to the infantry corps behind him: "Brothers, follow me into battle and break the enemy!"
"Roar—" The soldiers of the Zhenjun Army Corps shouted in unison. Under the leadership of Shangguan Xiu, the infantry corps crossed the fire battalion and launched a counter-charge against the oncoming rebels. Shangguan Xiu took the lead, rushed out of his own formation, and killed the rebels on the opposite side.
Now the distance between the two sides is only fifty paces away, Shangguan Xiu just rushed out a few steps, the rebels' arrow array arrived, Shangguan Xiu slashed his knife to block, the spirit chaos wind was cast continuously, and the arrows cut off by the wind blade were scattered from the air like raindrops.
Fifty paces away, a sprint of the war horse arrived, came to the forefront of the rebel camp, from the back of the rebel heavy shield soldier stabbed out dozens of spears, Shangguan Xiu shouted, picked up the spirit knife and slashed, dozens of spears were broken in response, his other arm waved outward, more than ten thin silver threads shot out from the gap in the spirit armor on his fingers, drilled into the crowd of rebels, entangled more than a dozen rebels, he carried his arm strength, suddenly pulled back, with more than ten screams, more than ten rebels were dragged out of the formation, even with it, the front row of heavy shield soldiers also knocked down。
Without waiting for the heavy shield soldiers to get up from the ground, Shangguan Xiu, who was riding on a horse, bent down and slashed with a knife.
He slammed the stirrups with both feet, and the war horse scurried forward, crashing into one of the rebels, who screamed and flew backwards, and Shangguan Xiu's spirit knife came out in succession, slashing and killing the surrounding enemy troops was really like chopping grass and vegetables.
A spear stabbed in his side and back, Shangguan Xiu's back seemed to have eyes, he grabbed the spearhead of the spear with his palm back, he flicked his arm outward, and the rebel who attacked with a spear screamed and flew out.
With a flick of his wrist, he grabbed the spear and thrust it forward, only to hear two muffled pops, and the spear pierced through the bodies of the two rebels, forming them in a string.
Just as Shangguan Xiu was struggling to kill the enemy, a spirit arrow suddenly flew from his left side. The speed of the spirit arrow is very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the musket, Shangguan Xiu can even block the bullets fired by the musket, let alone the arrow?
At the moment when the spirit arrow was about to get close, Shangguan Xiu's left arm was raised, and on his left arm, a shield appeared unbelievably.
The spiritual arrow was nailed to the shield on his left arm, and a loud click was heard in the ear chakra, and the spiritual arrow swirled, bounced high into the air, and was hit by the impact of the opponent's arrow, Shangguan Xiu staggered to the right with his men and horses, knocking the rebels on his right into a column.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than ten spears were stabbed from his right side, and the spear blade hit the spirit armor on his body, clanging, sparks splashed everywhere, Shangguan Xiu secretly gritted his teeth, and swept out with a knife in his hand, and several rebels only felt that the cold light appeared in front of them, and then the sky was spinning, and their heads had been cut off by Shangguan Xiu.
He broke off his shout, and then unleashed a chaotic and extremely dense and sharp wind blade that flew out, blowing into the crowd of rebels, screaming and wailing, on his right, all the rebels within a radius of seven or eight meters were emptied, and the ground was full of stumps, broken arms and fragmented corpses, and even a complete corpse could not be found.
As soon as his spirit chaos was cast, another spirit arrow flew from the left side, and this time the spirit arrow was more powerful and faster. Shangguan Xiu still parried with the shield of his left arm. The loud bang was like thunder in the clear sky, and the nearby rebels were shocked to the point that their eardrums ached, as if they had been pricked by pins.
Shangguan Xiu's body sitting on the horse was shocked and flew out, falling into the crowd of rebels, the surrounding rebels thought that there was an opportunity, and rushed forward, they rushed over fast, flew out faster, but when they rushed to Shangguan Xiu, they were all big living people, and when they flew out, they all turned into fragmented corpses.
Shangguan Xiu, who was stained with blood-stained spirit armor, jumped up from the ground, and at the same time hated the spirit archer who released cold arrows in the dark.
He jumped up, how high he flew, and there was a noticeable time in mid-air, and then he cast a wind shadow duel and shot at a group of rebels more than twenty meters away.
When the people arrived, the spirit knife also arrived, and several rebels didn't even see what was going on, they were stopped and cut off, half of their bodies were still standing on the ground, and their upper bodies had already flown out. When Shangguan Xiu's spirit knife slashed all the way forward in the crowd of rebels, it finally encountered the block of a hard object.
With a crisp sound, a narrow spirit bow blocked the spirit knife in his hand, and a spirit cultivator covered in white spirit armor also appeared in the crowd of rebels.
"What a quick knife!" the cultivator said in a quiet voice, his eyes flashing with a startled light.
"Your arrows are not slow!" As Shangguan Xiu spoke, the spirit knife slammed outward, pushing away the opponent's spirit bow, and slashing the opponent's neck with another knife in return. The cultivator leaped backwards, and at the same time, he quickly picked up his spirit armor and drew his saber from his ribs.
