Under the clear blue sky, there is a vast wilderness as far as the eye can see. Above the Great Wasteland, the armies of the mountains and the sea were facing each other in a majestic and tense formation. Flags are all over the place, and there are many spears, like black clouds before the storm is about to come, covering the entire great wilderness.

I stood on the top of the cliff, my eyes amazed by the force in front of me. Completely oblivious to the wind blowing from the side, shaking the branches and leaves, protesting against the imminent bloody slaughter.

The west side of the cliff is steeper than the east, like a water-dividing territory, dividing the whole land into different terrains: the hills in the east and the great wilderness in the west. No wonder Qin Shi Huang wanted to build a flood control levee here. If it weren't for this embankment, the flood would have annihilated this great wilderness long ago, forming a huge lake, and the flood would have destroyed the walls of the village and annihilated the roof, and the number of people who would have died by then is a terrible number.

The steep slope to the west of the cliff is like an inverted parabola, connecting the cliff with the great wilderness at both ends. Looking down from above, there are more than 30 zhang. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to go down from the west. However, this location was unexpected and allowed me to see the layout of the entire battlefield.

Condescending, everything in view.

Countless soldiers were scattered on both sides, standing on the great wasteland of Guangmao, with a distance of about a thousand paces, like a green ribbon, stretching to the sky. Divide the innumerable army into enemy and me, good and evil, Han and bandit.

The Yellow Turban is on the right, and the Han Army is on the left.

The yellow turbans of the bandits on the right are bright and dazzling, and the cyan uniforms of the Han army on the left stand proudly like the sky. Only then did I understand the meaning of the Yellow Turban Army's slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand".

At present, only the follow-up units of the two armies are lined up in the rear one after another.

I'm depressed, the army is in a decisive battle, do you have to wait for the other side to set up? The Han army came over early and finished arranging, and killed the Yellow Turban Thieves when they began to arrange. Isn't that a victory in sight?

It wasn't until I saw the layout of the two armies that I realized that it was not feasible.

First of all, tens of thousands of archers were at the front of the battle formations on both sides. The archers raised their arrows in their hands, bluffing their bowstrings, like two torrential rains ready to go, as long as they gave an order, countless arrows would be sent out, like raindrops hitting a hundred paces away. The two formations of archers were a thousand paces apart, so at this distance, the archers on both sides were safe. And no matter which side wants to send troops to attack the opponent's bow formation, this distance of a thousand steps will be his point of no return. Even the most mobile light cavalry paid a heavy price.

Secondly, and even more amazingly, both sides have deployed a mixture of spearmen and shields immediately after the archers. Once this hybrid class forms a thorn wall, its power will be enormous, and this terrible thorn wall has been encountered by me as early as in the city. Especially against cavalry, they are definitely nemesis, and they are powerless to fight back.

Seeing this, I suddenly realized that the arrangement of the two sides is surprisingly consistent. Spearmen and shield soldiers are followed by cavalry (abbreviation of light cavalry) and various infantry (light infantry is referred to as infantry, including spearmen, shield soldiers, swordsmen, spearmen and other infantry arms, excluding archers). For example, lightly armed spearmen are referred to as spearmen, omitting the word "lightly armed"), heavy infantry (infantry is equipped with heavy armor, and the defense and attack power are all enhanced versions of light infantry, excluding archers. The class is the same as the light class. For example, when a spearman of the light infantry class is equipped with heavy armor, it is called a heavy gunman. The word "reloaded" is not omitted. ) in order. At the back of the battle array of the two sides is the long-range strike weapon Shikou (stone thrower), such as the Shenwumen cannon in the array, which is amazing.

Finally, there were more than 10,000 cavalry on the eastern flanks of both armies to prevent a sneak attack. From this point of view, the western flanks of the two armies, which can no longer be seen, have the same arrangement.

Such two phalanxes, stretching a thousand steps in the middle, spread straight to the end of the western sky, and the majestic momentum is irreparable.

In terms of troops, the Han army was about 800,000, and the Yellow Turban army was about 1.2 million. In terms of troops, the Yellow Turbans have an advantage, but I believe that the quality of the Han army is stronger because of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, the two sides can be described as evenly matched. Whoever can adopt more effective tactics and tactics will be the key to victory.

With two million troops on top of this vast wilderness, it was so earth-shattering and weeping. I seemed to see the high fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides, slowly converging in their respective skies, forming two huge coiling dragons of different colors in the mist-shrouded sky: the one on the right was golden and bright, showing infinite strength; The one on the left is a black green god, showing foresight.

Suddenly, the two giant dragons flew with their huge bodies, dancing with their huge claws and colliding in the air, stirring up a burst of brilliant flashes, like a time and space explosion, and the entire sky that oscillated rumbled like a war drum beating the call of the South Heavenly Gate, heralding an unprecedented Armageddon breaking through the sky.

The drums of war began to sound in the wasteland, but they could be distinguished from two different timbres. One is like a sharp blast of thunder, the other is like a deep muffled thunder.

"Captain, a thousand steps behind the two armies, there is (is) the command battalion." Zhang He pointed excitedly.

I looked closely, and sure enough. About 1,000 infantry members crowded around the high command platform. The figures in the audience kept coming and going, presumably transmitting orders and military information.

Without waiting for me to think about it, the sound of the war drums reached its peak. Almost at the same time, the shouts of the battle array suddenly rushed towards the two of us like a thousand layers of tides, and the trembling ears of the shockers rang.

"Ah——!h

In the subtle changes of this moment, the armies of the two sides launched a mutual charge.

In the Yellow Turban battle formation on the right, between the individual gaps of the long archer battle array, countless hoplites rushed behind and rushed to the front line.

At the same time, the infantry in the Han army began to march past their own archers.

"Hey...... Roar...... Hey...... Roar ......"

The 100,000 infantry did not go through the process of lining up in place, they gathered and advanced at the same time, and after a moment the pace was surprisingly consistent. I can't help but wonder, how is this trained?

What is a regular army? It's called the regular army! I was full of joy in my heart, and I was full of confidence that our army would win more with less in this battle.

The hoplites have the strongest defense and the lowest mobility of all infantry classes. In the field battle, it basically relies on forming a phalanx and advancing slowly to form the maximum lethality, and has the reputation of "the king of infantry melee combat".

Really. The 200,000 Yellow Turban hoplites who had crossed their own front line archers restarted their formations and quickly assembled to form hundreds of thousand-man phalanxes. Slowly advance to the beat of your own war drums.

"Huh...... Ha...... Ooh...... Ha ......"

At present, the Han army is using infantry to fight against the Yellow Turban hoplites, and the number is fully half of the opponent's, which is definitely a big loss. I really don't know what Lu Dashuai thinks.

The scorching sun was shining, and the entire Great Wilderness was full of momentum, and the morale of both sides was extremely high.

"Huh...... Ha...... Ooh...... Ha ......"

The phalanx of the Yellow Turban hoplites was like a grand momentum, slowly advancing in steps. And the momentum of the Han infantry was not too much. The distance between the two armies was gradually shortening: 900 paces, 800 paces, 700 steps.

Just when the distance shrank to six hundred paces, the deep drumming of the Han army finally changed. Immediately after that, the 100,000 archers of the Han army began to step forward, catching up with the infantry in front.

Using a combination of archers and infantry to break through the Yellow Turban's hoplite phalanx is indeed a good tactic of warfare.

However, the shrill drumming of the Yellow Turbans has also changed. The 200,000 archers of the Yellow Turban Army also began to stride forward. This was bad news for the Han army's infantry and archers: 100,000 infantry could not defeat the 200,000 Yellow Turban heavy soldiers, and 100,000 archers could not defeat the 200,000 Yellow Turban archers.

In such a big battle, it is impossible to retreat and then change to other arms. Because once the front army retreats, it will inevitably affect the morale of the entire army. And the enemy army took advantage of the situation to cover up, and the consequences were even more unimaginable.

One of the heavier reasons was that the Yellow Turbans had 400,000 more men. If I were to open my horns, I would definitely choose to win this war with undoubted numerical superiority.

At this moment, I deeply feel that the battle is like a chess, and there is no room for mistakes in one and a half chess. Because such a mistake can lead to complete defeat.
