Soon, Jin Cheng received Lin Haotian's order, and he urged the horse to come to the front of the whole army, and turned the horse back and forth. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "The front is the main force of the enemy, although there are many troops, but it is a rabble, today is the time for us to make meritorious contributions, in this battle, all the officers and men of our Fifth Army will march forward bravely, do not kill the enemy army, and will not turn back!

"Kill—"

It is impossible for all the 150,000 soldiers of the whole army to hear the shouts of Jin Cheng, but the soldiers who are standing in the front can still hear it clearly. Under the command of Jin Cheng, the fifteen corps of the Fifth Army Corps pressed towards the Red Army on the opposite side.

The advance of the 150,000-strong army was not to be underestimated, and the Fifth Army marched in unison, with the roar of the earth shaking the mountains with every step forward. The commanders, adjutant generals, and commanders of each corps rode through the camps, giving orders one after another, constantly controlling the speed of their corps' march and ensuring the neatness of the entire army's overall formation.

There is no need to fight, just look closely at the momentum of the Jin army, and the Red Army will be a head shorter in morale.

When I didn't see the Jin army, the local army of the Red Kingdom still felt that there were many people on their side and didn't pay attention to anything, but now that they are really on the battlefield, they encounter a real enemy army, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously. For soldiers who have never experienced a major war, this is a very natural physiological reaction, and it is also human nature.

At that time, there was no special training in psychological quality, and the psychological quality of the officers and men was tempered little by little by relying on continuous wars, and this also became a very important reason why the local army was inferior to the central army.

Looking at the Jin army, which was not fast or slow, and was advancing towards his side in an orderly manner, and then looked at the faces of his soldiers who had turned earth-colored, Yuan Tian couldn't help but sigh, this battle. Is there still a need to continue fighting? There is no need to wait for the war to start, the superiority of the two sides is already clear.

He turned his head to look at Ma Chen beside him, Ma Chen's face was not much better than that of the soldiers below, but his expression was quite calm, and he tried his best to hide it even if there was a look of horror in his eyes.

Yuan Tian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Master Ma." If our army is ...... It's too late to retreat now......"

This sentence seemed to step on Ma Chen's tail, and the latter's eyes suddenly erupted with flames, and he said in a condensed voice: "Eat Junlu, follow the king's orders, and repay the king's kindness! How can you and I, as red ministers, be greedy for life and fear death at the moment when the great enemy is present? Today, even if we are crushed to pieces, we must expel the captives." Fight to the death with the gold thief!"

What a loyal minister who is loyal to the country! It's a pity that the scholar participated in the war, misleading the country and the army! Yuan Tian looked at Ma Chen, and said no more, he took out the sword at his waist, and ordered the generals on the left and right: "Drink the order to the whole army, prepare to release arrows!"

The Red Army was only about to release its arrows, but the arrow array of the Fifth Army had already shot first. Most of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion were wooden men. However, now it is no longer the original cannon fodder army, but a well-trained and combat-ready regular central army.

The wooden man is good at shooting. Coupled with such a long period of training, archery has improved by leaps and bounds. In the process of marching, the odd number of soldiers was the first to release the arrows, and after shooting the arrows, they immediately stopped and re-twisted their bows and arrows. At the same time, the soldiers with an even number of rankings immediately followed up with the release of arrows, and the single and double advanced alternately, and the arrows were released alternately, so that the whole army camp kept advancing while the arrows were constantly fired.

The Fifth Legion's arrow array was not particularly strong in any wave. Nor is there a wave that is particularly weak, it is always very smooth, and it is wave after wave, continuously, without giving the enemy any respite.

Under the arrow array of the Fifth Legion, the Red Army suffered heavy casualties at the beginning, and the camp attacked by the arrow array, people were shot to the ground in droves, and many of the fallen people were only wounded by stray arrows, but before they could get up from the ground, they were covered by the arrow array that followed.

All of a sudden, screams and wails erupted in the front camp of the Fifth Legion, which merged with the sound of arrows piercing armor and turned into a song of death.

Ma Chen, who was in charge of the Chinese army, had never seen such a scene in his life, and his face was pale and terrifying. The arrow array of the Fifth Legion has tens of thousands of arrows in each round, and when you look up, the black side is like a dark cloud covering the top, and when it falls, it is as dense as a flying locust, and everywhere you pass, people and horses become hedgehogs.

In Ma Chen's eyes, such an arrow array was not something that could be resisted by manpower at all. He yelled at Yuan Tian beside him: "Let the arrow shoot back! Why don't you shoot back with the arrow?"

Yuan Tian smiled bitterly, now the distance between the two sides is a hundred steps, and the Jin army's arrows can reach a hundred paces, but their own soldiers can't shoot that far, and now releasing arrows is equivalent to wasting their few arrows. He shook his head and said, "Master Ma, wait a minute. ”

"Wait?" Ma Chen's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "When will you wait?" Do you have to wait until all the soldiers of the front army are dead before you give the order to release the arrows?

"What do you command?" the herald hurriedly rushed forward and intervened.

"Pass my general order, the whole army will release arrows and shoot the gold thief!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Ma Chen no longer paid attention to Yuan Tian, and directly ordered to command the whole army. Under his orders, the Red Army launched a salvo of the whole army.

These Red Army are all local troops, the level of training is far weaker than the Central Army, many of them are still in contact with bows and arrows for the first time, even if there are soldiers who can shoot arrows, the level is uneven, either inaccurate, or not strong, the Red Army's arrow array shoots out, in the eyes of the opposite Jin Army is simply ridiculous,' The arrow array is sparse and sparse, and some shoot far, some shoot close, even if there is a shot in front of the Jin army, it is completely powerless, and there is not even a mark on the leather armor of the Jin army, and most of the arrows fall into the open space between the two armies.

Where is such an army here to fight, it is more like a game.

The counterattack of the Red Army not only did not cause any blow or threat to the Jin Army, but made the Jin Army more confident and more vigorous. Every time the whole army pushed forward, the officers and men shouted in unison: "Gold, gold, gold!"

Soon, the distance between the two sides changed from 100 steps to 50 steps, and it was only at this time that the arrows of the Red Army really posed a threat to the Jin Army, but the damage caused by the Jin Army's arrow array to the Red Army was even greater, and the Red Army soldiers were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows.

Under the impact of the crossbow arrows, the heavy shielders who stood at the forefront of the Red Army camp and pressed the positions could not resist at all, and once they were hit by the crossbow arrows, they often flew out upside down with their shields, and their muscles and bones were broken.

When the distance between the two sides was only ten paces, the generals of the Jin army gave orders one after another, and the whole army retracted their bows and charged forward at full speed.

The Fifth Legion, which had been advancing slowly while releasing arrows, instantly turned into tigers descending the mountain, and the death squads of each legion rushed to the front, followed by the heavy shieldmen, and then the main soldiers with spears in their hands.

The distance of ten steps is only a matter of rushing in an instant for the lightly armed death squads.

In a series of roars, the members of the Jin Army death squad who rushed forward rushed into the shield of the Red Army, some were pierced on the spot by the spears that poked out from behind the shield, and died tragically under the shield, while some avoided the opponent's edge, and pressed against the opponent's shield with their shoulders, and the steel knife in their hands stabbed and stabbed inward along the gap between the shields.

With a muffled thud, blood arrows erupted from the gaps in the shield.

The death squad of the Fifth Legion prevented the Buddha from killing the red-eyed demon, and after stabbing to death the heavy shield hand behind the shield, he did not wait for the opponent's corpse to fall to the ground, and used the knife in his mouth, using his hands and feet together, crawling along the shield to the top of the crowd, and then pulling out the steel knife in the mouth, slashing down wildly. While they were slashing and killing the enemy, their bodies were also stabbed and picked apart by the weapons of the Red Army from time to time, and some of the death squad members had their bellies cut, and the intestines and blood flowed down the Red Army's faces, but they were still waving the war knives in their hands, roaring and howling and slashing at the top of the Red Army's heads.

The suicide charge of the Fifth Legion death squad was also forced out, in the dictionary of the Jin Army, once the charge was launched, there was no stop, if the death squad could not stand up, then the enemy did not need to kill them, and the main battle formation of the Jin Army behind them had to pierce and crush them.

So for the death squads, there is only advance, no retreat, either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy. From a certain point of view, the strong combat effectiveness of a legion is also forced. (To be continued......)
