The Black Turban Army continued to advance northward, and the distance between the two armies quickly narrowed from five miles to three miles, and when they reached two miles, the rebels suddenly stopped, and the Glaive Formation suddenly changed formations, and the forces of the two wings quickly converged to the north, forming a huge square circle, encircling the Glaive Formation, and continuing to march towards Pucheng.

Seeing this scene, Ji Guang laughed:

"I just think that the rebels are capable of anything, how different is it from child's play to change the formation like this, hehaha......"

At this time, the Jin general on the side reminded:

"General, the rebel battle is quite powerful, it is said that Xu Guo and the rebels have been defeated in several battles, and our army is still cautious."

"Don't you wait to see the rebels change the Glaive Formation into a Fangyuan Formation and confront my goose-shaped array, if you say that the Glaive Formation still has a chance of winning, the rebels will attack me with the Fangyuan Array at this time, how can they have a chance of winning."

The Glaive Array is a deformation of the Glaive Formation, the strength of the Glaive Array is concentrated at the bottom of the formation, and the strength of the Glaive Array is evenly distributed, which is the most powerful as a bow and crossbow formation, and as an encirclement formation, due to the small envelope angle, the strength and speed of the encirclement are inferior to the Glaive Array. Although the Fangyuan Array has strong defensive power, it is very easy to be surrounded by the Goose-shaped Array, the Glaive Array, and the Hook-shaped Array, especially when the Goose-shaped Array uses bows and crossbows, and falls into a siege situation on all sides.

After changing the formation, the rebel army marched very slowly, only less than two miles away, and it took more than half an hour to complete one and a half miles, when the two armies were one hundred and eighty steps apart, the bed crossbow at the head of the Jin army took the lead in attacking, hundreds of giant crossbow arrows pounced on the black turban army, the giant arrow pierced the chest of the rebel soldiers, accompanied by terrible screams and hot blood, nailed people to the ground and struggled.

The Black Turban Army was unmoved, and continued to maintain the formation, and when it approached one hundred and fifty paces, it suddenly stopped advancing, and a yellow flag erected in the formation suddenly shook left and right, and the phalanx in the square circle changed accordingly, forming two phalanxes on the left and right, each of which was ten thousand people, and the phalanx was tightly wrapped in the square circle.

In the array, two rebels hold a crossbow, one sits and one lays down, the legs of the lying down are on the shoulders of the former, the big crossbow is in between, and the left and right two crossbow phalanxes facing the sky are aimed at the left and right wings of the Jin army's goose-shaped array.

At this time, some of the generals of the Jin army recognized this formation, and hurriedly said to Ji Guang:

"General, this battle of the rebels is the Zhiguo Chaotian crossbow, the power is huge, and our army is not suitable for fighting."

Ji Guang was shocked when he heard the news:

"Order, go out on foot, and surround me on my left and right!"

"General, our army is only 50,000 people, and the rebels are facing us in a square formation, and the enemy is defending and attacking us, and our army is bound to have fewer people and more enemies, which is greatly unfavorable to me. At the moment, it is the best policy to raid with elite soldiers, break its square circle, and kill the chaotic thieves and crossbow formations in the sky. ”

Then the other governor said:

"General, no, our army is in dense formations on both sides, and if you attack the formation at this time, it is tantamount to asking for your own death. The last general thought that either the rebels should be surrounded quickly, or they should disperse from the left and right flanks as soon as possible, and withdraw into the city from the west gate and the east gate. ”

"Ridiculous, our army has its back to the city, and at this time it is scattered to the east and west and retreats into the city, in case it is followed and killed by the rebels, will it not be in chaos."

"If you concentrate on the deployment of troops, you will be injured by the rebels' crossbows, this is a big taboo, and you must not fail to investigate!"

The generals argued, and Ji Guang said at this time:

"The Zhiguo Chaotian Array is arrayed with 60,000 crossbowmen, and now there are only 20,000 crossbow arrays of the rebels, why can't they be broken! Passing on my command, the crossbowmen marched forward thirty paces in formation, and the infantry concentrated on the elite to attack the head of the formation to tear the gap, and the cavalry then entered and wiped out the rebels towards the sky! ”

"No!"

The Zhiguo Chaotian crossbow array of 50,000 to 60,000 people is a large formation, and two people are in a group, firing 20,000 to 30,000 arrows at a time to cover and injure the enemy formation, which can effectively improve the killing efficiency.

The Zhiguo Chaotian Crossbow Array is arranged in a formation with the core of the Chaotian Array, with 50,000 to 60,000 people, two people as a group, firing 20,000 to 30,000 crossbow arrows at a time, and the range can cover all living forces within 50 to 200 steps. At the same time, it was supplemented by infantry troops and archers, forming a large phalanx of 100,000 to 150,000.

As the core of the whole formation, the Chaotian crossbow is in the front position of the formation, and the elite strength of the whole army is concentrated in front of the Chaotian crossbow array to offset the thinness of the frontal defense force, resulting in a decline in combat power. The whole formation attacked and defended freely, and the marching speed was acceptable.

This time, the rebels took Fang Yuan as a formation, with 10,000 crossbows and 20,000 crossbowmen, forming two formations on the left and right, firing 10,000 crossbows each time. Whether it is powerful or lethal, it is not as good as the Zhiguo Chaotian Array.

Ji Guang thought that the Black Turban Army could attack this formation, because the square circle array was denser than the phalanx, once its outer defense broke through, its internal gap was very large, and the Chaotian array was directly exposed to the front of the soldiers and was extremely vulnerable.

Ji Guang quickly dispatched troops and opened the mouth of the Jin army. At the same time, the Black Turban Army stretched out its bow and arrows, and the first volley came as scheduled to fly at the Jin Army, accompanied by a terrifying hissing sound.

10,000 crossbow arrows flew over a distance of one hundred and seventy or eighty steps, like a big net, opening a cold mouth of blood, and plunged on the top of the Jin army's head, the Jin army was caught off guard and fell to the ground and died violently like ants.

The sky-high crossbow arrow absorbs the dual advantages of the bed crossbow giant arrow and the javelin, both the range and power comparable to the bed crossbow, its arrow is slender like a column, the diameter is about 1.2 centimeters at the maximum, the length is more than one foot long, the arrow shaft is two and a half feet, and at the same time has the huge penetrating force of the javelin.

Known as a ruthless killer, the Javelin has an astonishing ability to damage and penetrate wooden shields, and no one is spared, whether it's a recruit or a veteran hiding behind, if they hit.

The Jin soldiers were like harvested wheat, and they couldn't wait for the elite to go to fight, and the rebels fired four crossbows in succession, shooting 40,000 arrows, and waiting until the elite of the Jin army rushed through the 150 steps of death to kill in front of the formation, waiting for them to roar mercilessly from the archers in front of the black turban array.

The archers fired quickly, then retracted into the formation, and the rebels escaped from the front of the formation with spears and hooks and sickles, giving the Jin troops a head start.

Under the battle between the two armies, the disadvantages of the Jin army were exposed.

Ji Guang sent the elite to kill the Black Turban Army in front of the army, seeking to open a gap and create an opportunity for the cavalry to enter the enemy formation, while the crossbowmen followed the elite of the charging formation and threw and killed the enemy.

The Jin army's large array is still more than 150 steps away from the front of the Black Turban Army, which is only 40 or 50 steps away from the two armies, which is the distance of a light bow and an arrow, but the range of 200, or even 200 steps away, is equivalent to three times the effective range of the light bow.

Even though the elite of the Jin army was not afraid of death, and went forward to fight into the front line of the rebels, it could not grow wings and fly over this one hundred and fifty steps. This is not an athlete's 100-meter sprint, it is light and explosive, and you can run in less than 12 seconds.

This is a heavy infantry wearing 40 pounds of heavy armor, holding 7 or 8 pounds of weapons, and a heavy infantry holding a 10 pound shield, running at full speed for more than 300 meters, carrying 10,000 heavy javelins within 200 steps, breaking through the death distance of 300 meters at full speed, and then panting into the front of the battle. No matter how you run, it is God to bless you to rush through the blockade area within a minute and a half, but within a minute and a half, the heavy javelins falling above your head are not only 10,000, that is tens of thousands.

The front formation was unable to break through for a long time, and the Jin army's large array continued to charge, trying to rush through the blockade distance of one hundred and fifty steps of the Chaotian crossbow, but it was completely exposed to the range of the Chaotian array, and in the blink of an eye, it became a live target for the rebels.

Seeing that batch after batch of Jin troops fell on the charging road, the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the Jin generals who asked to avoid the battle became more and more loud:

"General, our army has suffered heavy casualties, we can't rush anymore, the rebel front is as solid as iron, and there is no hope of breaking the enemy in a short time, so I also ask General Mingjin to withdraw his troops."

"Please also ask the general to collect his troops!"

Many generals said in unison, it was difficult to ride a tiger, seeing that the men and horses had already pounced, and at this time, the casualties paid before would have to be wasted.

After hesitation, another wave of arrows fell towards the front of the Jin army, and the wails and pains of the fallen were heard one after another.

"General, you can't hesitate any longer, our army's casualties have exceeded 20% since last night, if you continue like this, it won't take an hour for our army to be wiped out by the rebels, and please break it quickly!"

At the next moment, the Jin general knelt down on one knee, and the rest of the people followed suit and asked for his life. Seeing another wave of soldiers falling in a pool of blood, Ji Guang was furious and smashed his right hand on the battlements:

"Withdraw, the whole army will quickly withdraw to the east and west gates!"

"No!"

When the golden bell rang in a few hours, the Jin army that had entered the front line of the rebels retreated in a panic, the black turban army was merciless, the archers and crossbows fired alternately in volleys, and the Jin troops who retreated on the road of one step and fifty steps fell one after another, and I don't know how many people failed to cross the distance of one hundred and fifty or sixty steps, and fell on the retreat road.

When all the Jin troops withdrew into the city, the total number of wounded in the city was withdrawn, and there were still more than 38,000 people left. This means that in less than an hour of fighting, the Jin army suffered casualties and captured more than 12,000 people.

This is the power of 10,000 Chaotian crossbows, with the density of 30,000 Chaotian crossbows in the large array of Zhiguo Chaotian, 70,000 people of Sun Guo were shot and killed in a battle. The 50,000 Jin troops went out of the city, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that the whole army was not wiped out.

Soon after the Jin army retreated into the city in panic, the rebels quickly besieged the city, completely blocking the Jin army that attacked the Guanling ferry outside Pucheng, and at noon on the same day, the Jin army outside the city was defeated by the rebels from the east and west, and the remnants of the Jin army broke through to the coastline to the north, and were forced to abandon their armor and swim on the Jin warship to save their lives.

So far, the Jin army fought two battles in one day, lost more than 18,000 men and horses, and captured 4,000, except for more than 10,000 people who escaped from the 20,000 Guanling ferry last night, and the Jin army that attacked Pucheng, together with the general of the expedition to the north, was besieged and killed in Pucheng. The losses of the Black Turban Army in Guangxin City were finally recovered from the Jin army.

The news spread to the camp of the Thunder Chinese Army outside Guangxin City that night, and when he heard the news, Guan Du only killed and captured more than 23,000 Jin troops at the cost of 6,000 casualties.

At the same time, the news of the defeat of the Jin army in Pucheng was not until the night of the third day, and the fine work sent by the Guangxin Mansion was transferred to Yue Pan, who took advantage of the night to send people to steal the Bund of the North Gate of Guangxin, slipped past the rebel patrol into the North Gate, and sent the news to the Gongfu.

Jiang Min learned the news and convened an urgent consultation with the retainers in the study overnight, and the defeat of the Jin army was so complete and rapid that even Luo Songting and Bailiyan (Wei Xian) were quite surprised.

"I really didn't expect that the Jin army would be so vulnerable, and more than 20,000 people were lost in the two battles. If this continues, the situation in Beihai County is likely to deteriorate. Jiang Min said worriedly, and his slightly improved face sank again at this time.

Luo Songting frowned, and his gaze turned to Baili Yan:

"General Wei fought fiercely with the Jin army in the Battle of Jiangdong for a year, and he should be quite familiar with the Jin army's combat strength and tactics, why did the Jin army lose so badly this time, and even the rebels did not withstand a round."

"Yes, Wei also felt strange. In terms of the combat strength of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Jin army fight alone, with the current state of our Xian army, I am afraid that two out of ten people can not find two people who can fight alone, so the combat power of the Jin army's infantry soldiers is unusually fierce.

Moreover, the Jin army has strong national strength, and the infantry is well-equipped, and its light infantry army is almost comparable to the elite infantry of our Xian army, and the use of iron swords has reached as many as four or five percent. Moreover, the Northern Army is the main force of the Jin Army, and in addition to not transferring cavalry this time, the main elite of its infantry army is all here, so it can still suffer such heavy casualties. Wei thought that either Ji Guang's command was improper, or it was not the elite main force of the rebels who besieged my Guangxin, and the elite main forces of the rebels went to Pucheng. ”
