Chapter 1135: Invincible Spear Battle Array
This kind of spear is Nie Xiaoyu's combination of various factors such as the length of ordinary adults' arms, as well as the strength of the strength, the maximum distance that can be extended, and other factors, comprehensively calculated, and finally finalized the length of the spear, which can be said to be specially equipped for this kind of spear battle array.
And every soldier in the army under Wang Junlin will train in a queue, just to lay the foundation for these advanced and scientific battle formations that Nie Xiaoyu has found.
At this time, dense spear heads appeared in front of the array, and the Goguryeo infantry rushed up past the rejecting horses instinctively.
Gao Jianwu was able to send Li Guangsheng to lead 20,000 reinforcements because Li Guangsheng himself was a general with extremely rich battlefield experience, and he gave an order, and the long weapons such as spears in the hands of the Goguryeo infantry were also leveled, and they maintained a flat battle line as much as possible, while recovering their strength, they also approached step by step.
It's just that, because of the different weapons and the fact that there is no unified training queue, the length is naturally different, the height is uneven, and the platoon is uneven.
The Goguryeo reinforcements had obviously not experienced this kind of fighting, and some of them rushed forward to fight and were immediately stabbed to death by the dense spears, while others crouched down and looked at each other fiercely under the spear shaft, trying in vain to wait for the opportunity, but this method proved to be useless at all.
These skirmishers are not allowed to strike until they draw the attention of the enemy before the spears collide with each other, or they will be easily stabbed into skewers by the enemy's dense spears.
In the process, the stone throwers on the side of Wang Junlin and the bows and arrows of the cavalry and infantry in the rear of Goguryeo never stopped firing. Continues to inflict some damage on both sides.
The Goguryeo soldiers were not fools, on the contrary, they had a lot of combat experience, and after the sacrifices of some daredevils, including Li Guangsheng, the whole Goguryeo army finally faintly felt that things seemed to be different from what they imagined, and when they were uneasy, they would not rush up to the tip of the gun.
As the two sides got closer and closer, their strides became smaller and smaller, and the spears and spears flickered coldly, both of which were extremely threatening, and under mutual deterrence, they were cautiously approaching the attack distance.
However, compared to the caution of the Goguryeo infantry, the Goguryeo cavalry was different. They just because
In order to resist the existence of horses, and the Sui army's armor and steel helmet defense was strong, their bow and arrow lethality was too small, and they had to endure various long-range attacks from their opponents, and they lost four or five hundred cavalry before the real battle. Therefore, the Goguryeo cavalry had already held their breath, and their murderous intent was monstrous, and after the infantry cleared them of the rejected horses, they couldn't wait to rush forward.
In addition to the Goguryeo cavalry, which was divided into 3,000 men to guard both sides, the remaining 7,000 cavalry roared from both sides at this time and charged towards the infantry phalanx of Wang Junlin's side.
"Squat down in the first two rows! Rejection! On the command platform on the top of the low mountain, Wang Junlin gave an order, and the heralds around him passed the order to the following with drums and flags as quickly as possible, and Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Luo Chunlai were quickly executed.
In front of the rolling cavalry, Wang Junlin's infantry did not have much nervousness, subconsciously obeyed the order, the first two rows pointed their spears diagonally at the front, doing the standard rejecting horse movements, while the back rows began to aim with the burst fast crossbow jack, ready to shoot.
The infantry in the middle of the first echelon is fighting with the Goguryeo infantry, and the infantry on both sides is facing the Goguryeo cavalry.
At this time, there is no need for Wang Junlin to order an attack, Guan Xiaotong and Lu Hanzi of the first echelon will judge the situation and give orders, and Luo Chunlai will take 5,000 people as the second echelon, and they are ready to fill the position at any time.
The Goguryeo cavalry was already about eighty paces, and Guan Xiaotong's face was hideous, and he shouted loudly: "The last two rows are ready to fire quick crossbows!" ”
The soldiers in the back two rows of soldiers turned sideways at the same time, looking for a shooting point, Guan Xiaotong didn't give them much time to prepare, and immediately shouted: "Aim!" ”
There were 100 crossbows in each row of the infantry on Wang Junlin's side, and they all aimed at the Goguryeo cavalry that came to the attack, and in the thunderous hooves, Guan Xiaotong waited coldly for the Goguryeo people to enter about sixty steps, and then shouted loudly: "Release!" ”
There was a buzzing sound, and each burst of crossbows was fired nine times in a row, and in order to avoid shooting all of them at the front row, they would wait one breath between each crossbow arrow. There are more than 300 front rows
The Goguryeo cavalry fell to the ground in response.
While the cavalry was majestic, it also provided a larger target, and most of the hits were horses, which rolled violently on the ground, causing confusion among the Goguryeo reinforcements.
"Front row stand up! Aim, get ready to shoot! Guan Xiaotong's tone was still very steady, but the order was a little faster.
At the roar of Guan Xiaotong, the soldiers in the front row stood up and raised their repeating crossbows, and the back row began to load crossbow arrows into the repeating crossbows.
"Launch!"
Another round of two hundred bursts of fast crossbows and nine bursts of intervals, the Goguryeo cavalry in front of them fell again with more than 300 horses, causing confusion again, but the other cavalry sped up and rushed madly.
By this time it was too late for the next round of shooting.
"Rejection of horses in the front row!" Guan Xiaotong gave another order, the soldiers in the front row who had just finished shooting squatted down, and the soldiers in the second row stood and raised their guns, and the military formation was like a hedgehog with spikes.
The Goguryeo cavalry roared over, and the Sui army in front of them did not panic in the slightest, and also put on such a spear array, which surprised the Goguryeo cavalry, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
The dense iron spear formation stimulated the Goguryeo cavalry horses to turn their heads at the last moment, or to stop before the formation, which greatly affected the final charge of the cavalry.
The result of his own cavalry charging the opponent's infantry surprised Li Guangsheng, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
He had never seen a cavalry charge without the slightest panic, he had not even heard of it, he almost thought he had just been dazzled.
Li Guangsheng was taken aback, it was not that his cavalry had no results, the first row of infantry on the other side was still knocked into the air, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded on the spot. However, they managed to block the charge of the Goguryeo cavalry.
In the previous battlefield experience of these cavalry in Goguryeo, unless the number of infantry was several times that of cavalry, and there was a clever battle formation, of course, the infantry must be elite soldiers in a hundred battles, so that it is possible not to be defeated in the first round of cavalry charge. But the scene in front of him completely subverted the common sense of the Goguryeo cavalry. The psychological impact is very large.
