In the formation of the Wu army, Zhu Ran returned to the waiting generals and said: "That person has been injured, and he killed Deng Zhan yesterday, and he only relied on the speed of the horse." ”

Quan Cong asked: "Is it possible that someone else is impersonating?" ”

Zhu Ran is also uncertain: "The divine horse under his seat is no better than other things, and he can pretend to be this person, and he must be close to him." I heard that the man had a brother who was very brave, or it was possible. ”

As he spoke, Pan Zhang's department next to him sounded the drum and attacked, Pan Zhang embroidered his robe and gold armor, and held a single-eared halberd pointing obliquely at the Han infantry array, and the drummers on his side beat the drums, and the armor soldiers of the department attacked in an orderly manner.

may have noticed that Zhu Ran and other Chinese generals were coming, and Pan Zhang only glanced back, and only glanced at it.

Seeing Pan Zhang's unauthorized advance, Han Dang's department, which was next to Pan Zhang's formation, quickly followed, and the two arrays on the left flank went first.

The width of the battlefield is only eight miles, and the narrower part is only seven miles wide, how many people can be placed on the front?

One mile wide, it can also place three hundred people, and there should be gaps in the array on both sides to facilitate the knights to wander, and it is also conducive to the rotation of the front and rear arrays.

Therefore, the Wu army was divided into seven offensive sequences, and after Pan Zhang and Han Dang attacked without authorization, they were followed by Sun Qian, who stood in front of the formation with a horizontal spear, pressing back the troops who were almost driven and maintaining the array.

He also looked forward to the formation, and saw that Zhu Ran's long commander pointed obliquely ahead, Sun Qian's spear pointed obliquely at the Han army array, and the drums of the department were beating, and the big and small drums of the Wu army on the Bali wide battle line were beating the same drum, and the drums of the armored infantry attacking were the same.

It's quite majestic.

"Up!"

"Columns!"

"Beat the drums!"

In the Han army array, eight thousand-man battalions stepped forward and set up shields to prepare for battle.

Even if there is a gap twenty or thirty meters wide between each formation during the battle, few people dare to break into such a gap, which is the range of activities of the enemy's light soldiers.

"Junhou, Feng Xibu is already in place!"

Tian Xin stood on the Rong car, one of the two personal soldiers in front of the car held a long man, one held a Fang Tian halberd, there was a Rong car on both sides of the car, one was Li Yan's command of the car, and there were four big drums on the car; On the other chariot there were Huang Yue and Jingjie given by Liu Beixin, which were guarded by Zongpre.

"Shield!"

Seeing that the fourteen armoured soldiers of the Wu army were followed by dense leather armor and wooden armor crossbowmen, Li Yan continued to order, and the two formations of infantry in front and behind his side raised their shields one after another.

In the first formation of the left flank of the Han army, the battalion governor walked in the gap in the formation with a sword, shouting: "Don't panic in the front row, fight for a quarter of an hour, retreat in an orderly manner from both wings, and recruit recruits from it!" ”

"Crossbowmen shoot at five paces!"

"Jian Ge listens to the sound of the trumpet and pecks, and he must not send it without permission!"

Between the shouts, and Pan Zhang's front formation Ma Zhong's department collided together, both sides are big shields in the front row, the shield array is neat, the next attack is difficult to work, all the swords, spears and halberds are intertwined on the shield array, the blades collide, entangled, but unable to effectively attack.

Ma Zhong rode his horse in the formation, wearing the collar armor of ordinary military officials, and only the negative badge hanging on his back could indicate his command identity.

He held the bow in his left hand, leaned forward on the back of the horse and squinted to observe the commanding officers in the Han army's formation, the Han army officers were all dressed the same, and many of the soldiers were followed by trumpeters, and they couldn't recognize that one was the commander.

"Trumpet, peck!"

In the array, the battalion governor raised his arm and swung his sword, and the trumpeter on his side blew, and immediately more than 200 sword warriors waved the special sword Ge held high, and all of them crossed the front row of their own armor soldiers, and chiseled down from the top of Wu Jun's head, breaking the skull, splitting the shoulder, and cutting the arm in an instant, causing the Wu army to wail.

"Close!"

"Peck!"

When the battalion governor gave the third order, Ma Zhong got up and stood on horseback, stretched his bow and buckled the arrows in one go, and the sharp arrows did not enter the camp governor's eye sockets.

The battalion governor died, the trumpeter blew the agreed beat, and immediately the trumpet responded, and the chief officer of the army took over the command, he was more cautious, and shrank behind the shield without leaking.

Only seven of the eight Han formations engaged in battle, and the specially made sword Ge caused a huge obstacle to the Wu army.

This is a formation weapon caused by a long pole tied to a four-foot long sword, and there is only one tactic for chiseling, which is easy to be pulled, locked, and cut off by the Wu army.

But in the early days of the fight, it gave the front row Wu Jun great damage.

Tian Xin saw that the various formations of swords were successively destroyed by Wu Jun's lock, and he was unmoved, which was originally an auxiliary weapon for the rear row to prepare for the armor soldiers, and the loss and destruction were acceptable things.

The battle is like this, in addition to the fact that the divine weapons in your hands will not be damaged, there are often two kinds of battles, either life for life, or life for equipment, and after the equipment is damaged, you have to exchange life for life.

A lot of battles are fought with equipment, and they are fought with logistics and supplies.

The armor is less damaged, but the damage of swords and spears is high and terrifying, and they may cut each other for a long time, and many people do not die, and the equipment is consumed first, so that they have to solve the battle with fists and feet.

The probability of a soldier dying on the spot is not high, but it consumes a lot of physical strength and equipment.

When the front rows of the two sides changed formations, the crossbowmen in the rear of the Wu army lined up in line and began to shoot in turn.

As the front row of armor soldiers retreated to the middle of the formation to rest, the Han crossbowmen also approached the front row and began to shoot at close range.

The dense rain of arrows thrown by the Wu army fell on the Han army's array, and the armor-piercing infantry bowed their heads to avoid the front door, so it was very likely to resist the falling arrow rain, and the leather-armored and lightly armed crossbowmen were assisted by the surrounding shield soldiers to help cover them.

The rain of arrows of crossbowmen has a great effect on unarmored and lightly armored troops, and the professional armored soldiers who form knots have limited effect.

However, the crossbowmen of the Han army shot at close range, but they gave the Wu army continuous and effective killing, so that the Wu army in the front row relied on defense and decreased its willingness to attack.

"Junhou, Jiang Qin led the ships to attack, and the general has sent the building ships to the generals to refuse."

Tian Xin went to see it according to the report, and saw that the right wing would march with the drums of the sailors, and Zhao Lei led his troops to fight with them.

After holding each other for another three quarters of an hour, the front-line armor of the two armies exhausted their physical strength, and the efficiency of fighting together was in vain.

Zhu Ran stood on the chariot and watched the battle, the twenty rounds of arrow rain shooting had limited damage, and more than 10,000 crossbowmen were resting their strength, and the requests for changing formations came one after another.

Taking the lead in adjusting the front and rear arrays means losing the first round of engagements, and this is still with the assistance of more than 10,000 crossbowmen.

Zhou Yin personally turned back to Zhu Ran: "Dudu, the enemy's crossbowmen have sharp tactics, our army may be able to follow suit!" ”

"I know that, but if my crossbowmen move forward, they will be suppressed by the crossbowmen behind the Han army. The enemy is upwind, I am downwind, the difference in range is twenty paces, and if the crossbowmen step forward again, there will be losses. ”

Zhu Ran pointed at his own crossbowmen who were still resting: "The crossbowmen of the Han army can't fight for a long time, and they tell all armies that they must not take the lead in changing formations." If the formation is changed, the morale of the Han army will increase, and it will be more difficult to break through. ”

If the Han army held out until noon, the morale of the Wu army would collapse again.

It's just that as he spoke, Pan Zhang's troops sounded the drum again, alternating between the two formations of armor soldiers in front and back, the retreated armor soldiers phalanx retreated with the dead and wounded, and another group of light soldiers stepped forward from the rear, exchanging blood-stained armor around the crossbowman array.

The armor soldiers that Pan Zhang withdrew were still majestic when they wore their armor, but after handing over the armor, the officers and soldiers of all armies came to see how pitiful and pitiful they were.

Zhu Ran saw it in his eyes, and smashed his fist on the guardrail of the car, eager to cut Pan Zhang on the spot.

"Report, Governor, the supreme dragon boat has arrived twenty miles downstream of the mouth of the water; And there was a request from the front of the Wei army to cross the water to participate in the battle. ”

"Returning to the Supreme, just say that a certain commander of the army is unable to pay homage to him, and allow the Wei army to cross the river to participate in the battle."
