Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 172 What a Black Mountain Feiyan
"Zhang Yan... Well deserved the name! ”
At this time, Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang, who were watching the battle on the city wall, also saw the battlefield between the two sides now, the explosion of the Black Mountain Army, and the Han Army under the command of Xu Shu was in a strict formation.
I don't really understand the truth here, but Zhuge Liang's words really amazed him.
"This Zhang Yan... Is it really that powerful? Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang and said with some doubts, "Although I don't understand the truth of this, it seems that Yuanzhi's military formation is a little more strict..."
"Yuan Zhi's military strategy is very regular, which is really not comparable to idle people.
That Zhang Yan is not as good as him in this military formation, which is also reasonable.
However, this Zhang Yan was born as a thief, and no one really taught him these things, but this kind of person is not worse than us who learned the art of war from military books.
On the contrary, in the confrontation of a small number of soldiers and horses, they fought one battle after another, but they were even more powerful.
Because they know what the most important thing is in this battle!
That's morale!
The real morale, compared to the battle of the army, relying on layers of battle formations to constantly strangle the enemy, this small number of soldiers and horses fighting each other, but people have to say that they admire!
And this Zhang Yan is obviously like this.
Your Majesty, look at it, the soldiers and horses under his command Zhang Yan are fighting on their own, and most of them are from thieves, even if they are not homeless.
These people... He wanted to know the battle formation of his training in the Taihang Mountain, which was probably not an easy task.
Therefore, Zhang Yan did the opposite, constantly using morale to bring them together.
In the midst of the chanting, their morale reached its peak, and then they could rush straight through as soon as the battle began.
As long as they are not afraid of death, we can't strangle them all by relying on the battle array, and once they get close to the soldiers under our command, the consequences will probably be..."
Zhuge Liang's words were not finished, but Liu Xie also understood, and looked at Zhang Yan's army again, which had begun to move slowly, and couldn't help but become heavy.
"In that case... That Yuan Zhi...
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Yuan Zhi... Yuan Zhi is the first person in my Lumen Mountain's military strategy, although he has not really touched the battlefield before His Majesty, but Liang thinks that he will not be worse than this Zhang Yan..."
Zhuge Liang's words now fell into Liu Xie's ears, which did not make Liu Xie feel so relieved, and even made Liu Xie even more worried.
"Bao out..."
"Yui!"
"You also sneak out with someone later, if the situation on the battlefield is not right, you immediately take action and bring someone to snatch Yuan Zhi back from me, I can lose this big battle, and then find a way in the future."
But I categorically can't let Yuan Zhi have any accidents! ”
"Your Majesty...."At this time, Bao Chu looked at Liu Xie in front of him, and then looked at Xu Shu, who had changed his formation again and was about to start fighting with the Black Mountain military thief, and a lot of things suddenly appeared in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, in the end, Bao Chu bowed to Liu Xie and made a guarantee.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty... The villain will certainly not disappoint His Majesty... It will definitely not let Mr. Xu Shu have any damage! ”
After saying that, he walked directly towards the city with his people, and soon a group of rangers with dozens or hundreds of people climbed down the rope from the other city wall, and then slowly lurked behind the large army.
Be ready to come to the rescue...
And when they did all this, this long-lost war finally began to break out on this battlefield.
"Kill!" The Montenegrin army took the lead, and under Zhang Yan's roar, the army rushed directly towards the Han army, with a ferocious appearance, as if they were going to be eaten alive.
"Array!"
At the moment when Zhang Yan led his troops to kill Guo Ali, Xu Shu also became serious again, and a "array" full of slaughter erupted from his mouth.
Then the army suddenly began to move, and a pair of crossbowmen appeared first, and with one foot on it, the crossbow arrow was also wound!
"Put!"
"Hum~"
With this Xu Shu's order, thousands of crossbow arrows instantly rose into the sky, and then fell directly on the head of the Black Mountain Army thief Kou, who was three hundred miles away.
"Change the crossbow and put it again!" Just after the first wave of arrow rain landed, the second wave of arrow rain instantly reappeared.
"Change the crossbow again, and release it again!"
The second wave of arrows was followed by the third... Although there was a short gap in the middle, it was still able to make the rain of arrows continue...
"Change the crossbow!" At this time, Liu Xie, who was watching the battle on the city wall, couldn't help but exclaim, "Good guy... Yuan Zhi really has some skills! ”
The range and power of the crossbow are much greater than that of the bow, and even the operation method is much simpler than that of the bow, and the training cycle has become very short.
But bows and arrows still occupy an absolute position on the battlefield, and the main reason for this is... Velocity!
There is no perfect life in this world, and naturally there is no perfect thing, and this is the case with this crossbow!
The power is very powerful, and the price of the long range is that it requires a lot of force to pull away, and in addition to its size, the strength of this operation has become a problem.
Ordinary soldiers can't easily pull this pedal crossbow, and can only use both hands and feet to be able to wind, which is the origin of the name of the pedal crossbow.
And one more action means that it will take a lot more time, so the best way to deal with this kind of thing is the "three-stage shot" method.
The bow and arrow didn't need this thing, because with his changed bow and crossbow, one person could shoot three arrows.
But the crossbow on the foot is needed, but when Liu Xie wanted to show it, he was rejected by Xu Shu directly chuckling, although he did not explicitly refuse, but he also expressed an obvious meaning.
"I don't need to...."
Originally, Liu Xie thought that Xu Shu was arrogant, but now seeing his method of changing the crossbow made Liu Xie can't help but laugh at himself.
"This ancient man is short of seeing and hearing rather than mind, this big crossbow has been around for so many years, how can there be no corresponding technique.
The way of shooting an arrow for a crossbow is indeed faster than those three shots..."
Just when Liu Xie was thinking about these things,
There were new changes on the battlefield below, and Zhang Yan watched the rain of arrows appear again and again, and did not feel flinched because of this.
Instead, they roared directly and rushed over with the soldiers and rapid freezing, and after leaving behind hundreds of corpses and hundreds of equally screaming soldiers, they finally rushed to the Han army led by Xu Shu.
"Kill!"
At the moment when Zhang Yan led the Black Mountain Army to rush over, a roar of anger appeared from the Han army's camp.
Just when they were about to engage with the crossbowmen, one by one the spears suddenly attacked, and they went straight up, which was a standard mutual attack method, and there was no such thing as a sword and shield hand at all.
During this time, the specially made spear was inserted directly in the hands of the Han soldiers, the spears were sharp, and at the same time, the spearmen also slowly attacked in front of the crossbowmen, protecting them firmly.
The spears formed a hedgehog, and rushed straight over, they didn't have extraordinary bravery, and of course they didn't have much strong training, there was only one thing they could do.
Spear in hand and push it flat!
If you want to break through their camp, you can only push it directly with this spear!
Flesh and blood for time, flesh and blood for chance!
Of course, Zhang Yan would not do this kind of thing, and even the generals and colonels of the Montenegrin Army under Zhang Yan would not do it, so they chose to divide the troops directly.
"I'll wait for a large number of soldiers and horses, get out of the way, and then wrap around from both sides, surround this Han army for me, and grind them to death!"
Under Zhang Yan's order, the army immediately divided its troops to attack, and then rushed over from both sides under the leadership of Yang Feng and Zhang Leigong.
And this also needs a soldier and horse to resist, and in the current view, this is the most dangerous, because he has to face the spear three feet away, and also face the rain of arrows that will erupt again at any time...
"Du Chang!"
Finally, after Zhang Yan's order, the general Du Chang stood up again with a roar, and let out a roar towards Zhang Yan and the Han army.
"Soldiers, follow Lao Tzu... Go up! ”
The most dangerous place will naturally be handed over to Zhang Yan's most cronies not to do it, this is what Zhang Yan promised them.
"Kill!"
In a roar, the battlefield became even more noisy, but Zhang Leigong and Yang Feng, who went around to both sides of the Han army, also failed to solve the Han army in front of them.
The big man's soldiers and horses did not panic when they saw the soldiers and horses that appeared on their flanks, but directly gave up their positions, and then....
"Kill!"
There was another roar of brushing and brushing, and a group of soldiers and horses appeared on both sides of the Han army, as if they had already been prepared, and rushed towards Yang Feng and Zhang Leigong.
They were also wearing armor and holding halberds, and then they rushed over with their halberds in unison.
"Hah!"
With the angry shouts of these soldiers holding halberds, the sharp halberds directly penetrated the bodies of the Black Mountain soldiers, and these people not only held halberds that were sharper than the spears in the hands of the Black Mountain soldiers.
Even in terms of their own bravery, these people are not idle people.
"Since ancient times, there have been many ceremonial guards of halberds, but it is not that they cannot be used in battle formations.
From the pre-Qin period, this halberd was the main force of foot soldiers, and it was not available to non-warriors!
Today, in order to accumulate these two thousand halberders, I'm afraid Yuan Zhi has also paid a lot..."
