Chapter 005: Troop Vehicle Configuration

Qingji's eyes full of perseverance were fixed in a place called Hulukou!

The mouth of the gourd, as the name suggests, is a place that resembles a gourd in shape.

It is overgrown with weeds, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of cliffs, which are easy to hide and easy to ambush.

Qingji has grown up in Wudi, so he is naturally very familiar with the environment here!

As a general, it is not enough to be proficient in the art of war, and it is not enough to know the military affairs, how to integrate the knowledge of the art of war and use it flexibly, this is the way to win in the army.

Therefore, whenever they go to a place, the ancient generals usually first survey the terrain by themselves, so that they can identify the right fighter and make the most critical judgment!

At present, Qingji's opponents are He Lu and Wu Zixu, both of whom are famous handsome talents in history, and Qingji naturally does not dare to take it lightly.

"Heifu!"

"The last general!"

"You immediately lead two thousand soldiers and three hundred chariots to the north of Hulukou, and if the enemy rushes to hear the sound of fighting, then immediately rush over and hunt together!"

"No!"

After General Heifu received the order, he immediately turned and left.

Qingji also gave orders to the generals present and properly arranged their tasks.

The importance of this battle to Qingji is self-evident.

He can't be careless!

……

The next day, in the wilderness, less than thirty miles away from the capital of Wu, two mighty armies were facing each other.

On one side, there are soldiers of the Lu army wearing pointed helmets and red clothes and black armor.

On the other side, there are soldiers of the Qingji Army wearing oval helmets on their heads and red uniforms.

The two sides of the horses, the costumes and flags are both crimson, the only difference is the shape of the battle helmet!

Of course, in order to distinguish between friend and foe, the soldiers of the Qingji army still wore black hemp belts around their necks.

"Knock knock!"

The dull and slightly oppressive sound of cowhide war drums resounded above the wilderness.

This was accompanied by a roar of rage!

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ……”

The soldiers on the side of the Qingji army presented a number of huge phalanxes, and under the banners in the sky, the soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn roared loudly.

Standing at the front were samurai with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and every three steps they took, they struck the bronze sword in their hands against the round shield, and then shouted "roar".

This was followed by an orderly array of chariots, each of which was planted with a flag representing the Qingji Army, and stood on the left and right of the chariot.

The emperor drives a horse, shoots on the left, holds a spear on the right, and so on!

On both sides of the chariot, there were also a number of soldiers in helmets and armor who were responsible for guarding.

In this day and age, the importance of combat vehicles is self-evident.

Therefore, the configuration of each chariot is extremely high, and the ancient system is ten armor soldiers, but with the increasing frequency of wars, the scale of chariots is also expanding.

In this era, in addition to the three armor soldiers on the chariot, there are seven armor soldiers and twenty naked soldiers!

The source of the stubborn armor is the Chinese people, and the apprentice soldiers come from the Shu people, and there are differences in status and status, and the status of the Shu people is lower than that of the Chinese people.

The armor soldiers charge into battle, assist the main force on the vehicle to fight, and the baremen do some miscellaneous work, logistics, and so on.

During the Warring States Period, the staffing of a chariot changed again, and the three armor soldiers on the chariot were still the main force, and there were seventy-two unarmed soldiers under the chariot!

At that time, Gaine had already confused the distinction between the countrymen and the Shuren, so they were collectively called apprentices.

At this time, the Qingji army and the Lu army confronted each other in the wilderness, and the drums were loud and full of murderous atmosphere.

The frontier area of the phalanx of the Lu Army is different from the samurai of the Qingji Army, but the shield bearers of all colors!

At the forefront, there are shield-bearers holding huge rectangular shields.

This makes the Lu army undoubtedly a head shorter than the Qingji army in terms of momentum!

"Boom!"

At this moment, a chariot galloped out of the phalanx of the Qingji army, and the horse's hooves were chaotic, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.

After coming out of the range of the bow and arrows of the Lu army, the chariot immediately stopped.

A soldier in the car shouted, "Ji Guang! My son-in-law invited you to the front for a while, do you dare to respond? ”

The armor soldier shouted three times in a row, but his face was gloomy and he did not respond.

With a wave of his arm, an arrow flew in front of the chariot's horse, sticking to the horse's hoof.

"Phew—"

The commander of the chariot hurriedly tugged at the reins and pulled the frightened steed.

Obviously, He Lu didn't have the intention of meeting with Qingji before the battle!

The troop chariot that came out to shout followed the large array towards its own side.

He killed the king and usurped the throne, knowing that he was at a loss, so he didn't go out to beg Qingji for scolding.

In order to prevent the Qingji army from shouting and scolding and bewitching the army's heart, He Lu immediately drew his sword out of the sheath, stood on the top of the chariot and pointed to the Qingji military formation opposite, and said loudly: "Soldiers, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while!" ”

"It's time for you to make a difference!"

"Shield array, attack—"

At the sound of the command, thousands of shield bearers shouted loudly, holding their large shields and advancing like mountains.

Qingji also swung his sword and pointed directly in the direction of the Lu army on the opposite side, and said loudly: "Drumming!" Enter! ”

The phalanx of the Qingji army still did not change in any way.

The samurai lead the way, with shield bearers and crossbowmen in the middle, and a handful of charioteers on the flanks and in the center!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The two armies faced each other, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Whether it is the Lu army or the Qingji army, they are all under the call of the war drums, and they are all moving forward step by step!

From top to bottom, as far as the eye could see, I saw two crimson waves surging over the wilderness, and their momentum shook the heavens and the earth.

"Shoot the arrows!"

After the soldiers of the Qingji Army entered the firing range, the crossbowmen of the Lu Army on the opposite side immediately opened their bows and arrows, making uniform movements.

With the order of the flag officer, thousands of crossbowmen immediately released their fingers twisting the bowstring, and for a while, the arrows were fired in unison!

"Whoosh!"

The powerful arrows like locusts crossing the border were thrown out, densely covering most of the dome.

This moment can make people with dense phobia shiver!

"Poof!"

"Uhhh

A large number of arrows fell, and dozens of samurai of the Keitsu army were shot at once.

Many samurai either raised the round shield in their hands, or swung their swords to slash the arrows, but most of them could not completely resist, and many samurai were full of arrows, and were shot into hedgehogs, and died of anger!

Crimson blood flowed on the weedy land.

One after another, the samurai of the Qingji army fell with arrows, and mourned all over the field.

However, the remaining samurai did not stop in fear.

In the dense sound of war drums, under the rain of arrows full of murderous intent, they shouted loudly, and at an even faster speed, they stepped on the corpses of the robes and launched a charge!

"Crossbowman, release the arrows!"

Qing Ji stood on top of the chariot, waved his sword and pointed at the opposite phalanx, so that the crossbowmen who followed behind the samurai array fired arrows in unison to cover the attack of the samurai.
