Chapter 545: The Battle of the Snow Field (Again)

For the first time, Gu Han experienced a large-scale field battle.

Although he had laid down a few dock forts with Li Rui earlier, he didn't see them with his own eyes. The others were still in the rear, Li Rui's vanguard had already defeated and taken these small dock forts, and by the time he arrived there, these dock forts had long been in ruins, and of course, the corpses of the enemies who had been killed by the army.

So much for.

But this time is clearly different.

As he marched, he could feel the cheerfulness of the soldiers, he could see the postures of the soldiers who were speeding past them one by one with their skis to their left and right, and he could even hear some of them singing loudly as they were hurrying.

But when the alarm is raised, the drums of war are beaten, and the trumpets are sounded, everything changes.

No other noise could be heard from the entire force.

Some are just rumbling drums.

Some are just changing horn sounds.

Some are just banners on display.

The soldiers removed their skis, stacked them neatly on the ground, and marched forward.

In their rear, the soldiers in charge of logistics immediately put away the skis one by one and stacked them onto the sleigh.

The atmosphere of slaughter spreads between heaven and earth.

Li Rui had already ridden to the front.

Gu Han wanted to go with Li Rui, but was cleanly refused, so that he could only stand on the sleigh now, tiptoeing and looking ahead.

Ahead, on the left, on the right, there are warning fireworks in the air.

In these directions, scouts kept galloping back.

Gu Han's face became grim.

It turned out that there were large-scale enemies on all three sides.

The dense beat of drums sounded, the horns blew a long sound, and the right Xiao guard army paused, and the army began to retract, obviously arranging a defensive formation.

There were cavalry flying horses that went forward for miles, and then shook off the bags on the horse's back, and the thistles were sprinkled on the snow.

Rows of foot guards carried some fence-like things to the front, opened them, and supported them on the ground, these small fences were put together in two rows, and when they were opened, they became a cross-shaped rejection horse, and on the front side, they were equipped with small spears, and above the reflection of the snow, they shone faintly.

Horse-drawn sleighs reached the front of the infantry array, and ripped off the linoleum on them, revealing the large crossbow machines inside, which were fired using bowstrings, divided into two rows, each with three large crossbow arrows. There are dozens of such large crossbow machines, and one is installed every ten steps or so.

The sled horse untied the wheels and led them to the rear, and a famous ballista launcher turned the winch desperately and loaded the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm onto the crossbow machine.

Behind the pikemen, the crossbowmen took off the crossbow at their waists and began to silently load the crossbow arrows into the crossbow, resting their shields in front of them, and unsheathed knives resting on their shields.

Gu Han was at the end of the team, and behind him, there were about a thousand cavalrymen, but at the moment, they were all leading their horses, standing quietly. From time to time, scouts from afar returned, converging into this cavalry ranks.

In the formation of thousands of people, apart from the occasional loud orders from the officers, they could only hear the sound of the wind blowing the banner and hunting.

Gu Han looked at Li Rui under the banner of the Chinese army, and there was no expression on that young face.

There is no fear.

There was no excitement.

Yes, it's just cold.

This army of black flags and black armor is like a black reef in the midst of a silver and white that covers the heavens and the earth, waiting for the monstrous waves to come.

Gu Han knew the anger in Li Rui's heart at the moment, and he also understood the anger in this army's heart now.

When the bodies of the eleven naked and frozen warriors were transported back and placed in front of Li Rui, the coldness that flashed in Li Rui's eyes made Gu Han feel a little chilled.

Ahead, there was a crowd of people, and immediately, the roar was also heard in the wind.

There was no lineup, no discipline, just a simple man wielding a variety of weapons, or a man on horseback, yelling and rushing forward.

The number of people is probably more than 10,000.

Just looking at their numbers, their momentum, it is indeed a little scary.

Immediately afterwards, on their left and right flanks, there were also large numbers of enemies, smaller in number than in front, and there were no cavalry, and it seemed that the enemy of the opposing side had placed the most elite and powerful forces at the forefront.

Almost 20,000 people!

Gu Han made a rough judgment in his heart.

The ratio of the two sides is about four to one.

As in front of you, the enemies on the left and right are terrifying, but no matter how you look at it, they can only be regarded as a rabble. Such a troop will fight in the field with an elite division like Youxiaowei, who has experienced a hundred battles, and the end can be imagined.

Gu Han shook his head.

This will not be a close fight.

It would only be a one-sided slaughter.

The earth-shattering noise made Gu Han no longer hear other sounds, he saw those opponents on the opposite side who only a few people were wearing armor roaring and rushing up, and then stepped on the thistles hidden in the snow and fell to the ground, and he didn't have time to get up before he was trampled down by the surging crowd, he saw those people in the front, after encountering those who refused to move, they only hesitated slightly, and then they were squeezed by the people behind and fell on the tips of those sharp spears, and blood flowed all over the ground.

He saw a right-hand guard officer at the front open his mouth and roar something, and then, the dozens of crossbow machines at the front of the lineup made a crashing sound, and hundreds of crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out, the first wave just shot, and the second sound sounded again.

At this time, the crowd of charging people was about four hundred paces away from the military formation.

The crossbow arrows shot by hundreds of big crossbows made a bloody alley in the surging crowd, and the offensive suddenly stalled. But it only paused slightly, and then rushed forward again.

The crossbowmen turned the winch desperately, re-pulled the bowstring, and installed the bolts again.

The same thing is happening again.

Large crossbow machines that shoot flat fire hardly need to be aim, because their eyes are almost all enemies, and they are done shooting the arrows.

Gu Han visually measured that the two rounds of crossbow arrows were fired a total of four times, and hundreds of crossbow arrows took the lives of at least thousands of people.

If you are shot by this spear-like crossbow arrow, even if you don't hit the vital point, you have almost no chance of survival. Even if it just hits you in the arm, it will take the whole arm with you, and the unlucky man will die from a lot of blood loss.

After two rounds of shooting, the crowd that charged was only about two hundred years away from the army.

The spear infantry behind the crossbow machine immediately strode forward, blocking the large crossbow machine behind him, and behind the infantry, about two thousand infantrymen, raised the crossbow machine in their hands in unison.

One hundred and fifty no, one hundred steps.

The 2,000-handled crossbow machine looked up at the sky at a forty-degree angle.

Ninety steps, Gu Han could no longer see the sky in front of his eyes.

Two thousand hand-held crossbows were fired at the same time, so that in his vision, only blackened arrows could be seen.

Fly high into the air, then turn your head and fall.

For those stormtroopers without armor protection, the shooting of these crossbow machines is extremely deadly.

In the middle of the stormtrooper formation, a large blank space appeared in an instant.

Li Ze's troops were equipped with a large number of crossbow machines, and ordinary archers had almost been completely eliminated, although the crossbow machines were more expensive and had a relatively short range, they were easy to operate and easy to use. After three to five days of training, you will be able to use it proficiently. Anyway, when Li Ze's soldiers used crossbow machines, they all covered and shot on a large scale, and they didn't care about the accuracy of the individual at all.

A net is covered, and no one in this net can be spared.

Of course, it does cost a lot.

It's good to say that if you win the battle, you can still look back at some of the arrows when the battle is over, and if you lose, you will lose everything.

Fortunately, Li Ze has been winning.

Fifty paces, the crossbow fired again, and the attackers who had just filled the void swept through again.

The enemy who rushed in front of the right guards was only a few thousand people left at the front, and behind them, the supporters were dozens of paces away from them.

The spearmen stepped forward in unison to the beat of the drums, and the spears in their hands stabbed out in unison.

The sound of wailing is endless.

The spears in the first row had not yet been withdrawn, and the spears in the second row had once again stabbed through the gap. The opponent was greeted by repeated thrusts of the three platoons of spearmen on the right.

In the extremely brave attacker, he dodged round after round of spear kills, severing spear shafts one by one, and then slashed at the spearmen with his sword, hoping to create some breakthrough points to help his companions break through the spear formation.

But to the right and left of the spearman, there were always those who were swords and shields, and the two sides fought together.

In such a small space, there is no room to dodge, and the right Xiaowei's style of play is ruthless and simple, one knife for another. But the problem is that their armor is excellent, and if they cut it with a single sword, they can only cut their armor out of the crack blade at most, even if they can break the armor with all their strength, most of them are exhausted, and it is difficult for them to be hit hard, and those attackers who have no armor or have poor quality armor are stabbed by the right guard, and they are basically confessed.

As Gu Han guessed, this was not a battle, this was a massacre.

The courage of the attackers only lasted for half an hour before crumbling.

Li Rui's military formation was not shaken in the slightest, and the opponent turned around in embarrassment and fled.

The spearmen did not immediately pursue, but retreated again in unison at the sound of the command, revealing the crossbow machine that had been wound up again behind them.

The roar of a large ballista rang out, this time attacking from behind.

After two shots, the cavalryman, who had been behind Gu Han and had not moved, turned over his horse and rushed out.

After!

Now it's time for them to shine.
