As Zhu Weijun's side issued the order to attack, there was a mixed army formation of about 5,000 sword, shield and crossbowmen from the front of Zhu Weijun's military formation, which slowly broke away from the army and slowly rushed in the direction of the opponent's army.
And Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei saw that Zhu Weijun directly sent a group of soldiers and horses to kill them, so they separated an army of about 5,000 people from Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army, and slowly rushed forward to kill them.
The armies of the two sides soon met on the battlefield, and at this time, the soldiers on both sides had already moved their positions quickly in the process of charging, and arranged a tactical formation.
Because there were 2,000 crossbowmen on Zhu Weijun's side, he put out a wing-shaped tactical military formation, which can also be regarded as a change in the goose-shaped formation, like a very short mountain character in the middle, which is a military formation with both offense and defense.
That is, the main force of the sword and shield men who undertake the attack is placed on the two wings, and the two wings of the enemy are attacked by outflanking and killing, while the two thousand crossbowmen are lined up in an arrow array, standing firmly at the root of the military formation, and can release a terrifying rain of arrows on the enemy who are rushing head-on.
The general who was then in charge of the battle stood in the short vertical position in the middle of the mountain, and behind him there were also some sword and shield bearers standing, responsible for protecting the crossbowmen in the rear from direct attack after the enemy rushed.
The Qingzhou army on Yuan Tan's side was mainly based on sword and shield hands, and only about a thousand archers followed, so they put out a hook-shaped tactical military formation on the battlefield, which was similar to a U-shaped military formation as a whole, which was an offensive military formation.
That is, a dense rectangular sword and shield array is placed in front of the front to quickly charge the enemy, and there are lagging wing guards on both sides, which are mainly designed for the enemy's goose-shaped formation like two flanks to outflank and charge.
Judging from such a tactical military formation layout between the two sides, it seems that the Qingzhou army on Yuan Tan's side is more aggressive and targeted.
But the key to this depends on whether the Qingzhou army on Yuan Tan's side can withstand the rain of arrows released by the two thousand crossbowmen on Zhu Weijun's side, and rush to the rear of Zhu Weijun's army.
If they can directly kill the crossbowmen in front of the crossbowmen in the rain of arrows, then Zhu Wei's army will be cut in half, and the sword and shield men on the left and right flanks will lose their command, and it will be difficult to cause much impact on the concentrated Yuan Tan Qingzhou army, but they may be defeated by Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army.
It is said that a well-trained army, as long as it can be arranged into a tight shield array, can still withstand the enemy's rain of arrows.
Therefore, in terms of the current military formation arrangement of the two sides, it is indeed Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army that has a tactical advantage, but it depends on the training degree of the soldiers of the two armies.
Needless to say, with the assistance of the Three Kingdoms game system, all the soldiers seemed to have engraved the content of the training into their brain memory, so with the army's charge to the battlefield, a wing formation was soon formed.
The sword and shield hands on both wings also seemed to have turned into two shield walls, and the crossbowmen in the rear also formed an arrow array of crossbowmen in front and archers in the rear, and all the soldiers moved forward steadily under the command of Chen Wu, the commander of the Divine Arrow Battalion.
The performance of Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army was slightly worse, although in the process of the army advancing to the battlefield, it was obvious that a formation was formed, but the movement of the soldiers was still a little scattered, and then the shield formation concentrated in the middle was also slightly loose because of everyone's pace and movement.
Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army was commanded by a young general named Lu Weihuang, who was the general assigned by Yuan Shao to Yuan Tan to lead the troops this time.
However, on the battlefield, the two sides could not stop to rectify, so soon the armies of the two sides touched each other on the battlefield.
The armies on both wings of Zhu Weijun took the initiative to make way of some space, and only outflanked the two wings of Yuan Tanjun, and Yuan Tanjun didn't care about Zhu Weijun on both flanks for the time being, but just concentrated their forces like an iron brick and rushed into the concave bottom of Zhu Weijun.
"Kill! Kill! ”
The soldiers on both sides began to shout in their mouths, and then their footsteps also quickened the pace of the charge, although there was no real short-handed encounter, but this murderous aura had already filled the hearts of every soldier.
Chen Wu, who was in the center of Zhu Weijun's formation, could be said to be right in front of Yuan Tanjun's charge, but he didn't panic at all, he just raised the lance gun in his hand, and seeing that the distance between himself and Yuan Tanjun was getting closer and closer, the lance in his hand swung down fiercely.
"Archer, release the arrow!"
When one of the marquis in charge of the archers in the rear arrow formation saw it, he shouted loudly.
"Bang bang bang...... Whoosh ......"
More than a thousand feather arrows were thrown into the air, and in mid-air they densely turned into a rain of arrows, and they fell down to the Yuan Tan army that rushed over.
"Watch out for feather arrows! Watch out for feather arrows! ”
Naturally, some officers on Yuan Tanjun's side reminded loudly, and then they also raised the double-arc hand shield in their left hand, protecting the head and the vital position of the left chest, and suddenly made the shield array, which was still a little loose, suddenly turn like fish scales, forming a piece of shield wall.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
Many feathered arrows were nailed to the shield after falling, making a sound like death knocking on the door, most of the feathered arrows were still blocked, but there were also hundreds of arrows that hit the target.
For a while, some people in the dense Yuan Tan army suddenly fell to the ground, and some people cried out in pain in their mouths, and the dense military formation of Yuan Tan Army also fluctuated slightly.
After a while, another round of feather arrows covered the air, and then hundreds of Yuan Tan's soldiers were shot by the feather arrows, so round after round, when Yuan Tan's army was getting closer and closer to the bottom of Zhu Weijun's concave, there were already six or seven hundred Yuan Tan soldiers who were either killed or wounded under the rain of arrows.
But if Yuan Tan's Qingzhou soldiers really approached the archers, it would also make the archers who lacked melee power unable to resist.
However, as the distance narrowed, the crossbow arrow array in front of the archers of the Zhu Wei Army finally waited for the time to attack, "Team A, shoot!" Team B, shoot, Team C, shoot! Team A, shoot! ……”
The crossbow archers who were divided into three waves continuously threw crossbow arrows in the direction of Yuan Tanjun, these crossbow arrows were more delicate and difficult to resist, and at the same time there were more short intervals, which could be regarded as non-stop shooting.
A rain of more than 300 crossbow arrows in a wave may also cause casualties among nearly 100 soldiers of Yuan Tan's army, and the most important thing is that the crossbow arrows are fired almost continuously, so whenever someone in Yuan Tan's army is hit by an arrow, causing chaos in the shield array, it can reveal more attack points to the crossbow arrows that come next, thus bringing more damage.
Therefore, as Yuan Tanjun approached the hollow of Zhu Weijun's wing-shaped formation, Yuan Tanjun's frontal charging army formation was a little difficult to stabilize, and the soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground from time to time, and as a result, the corpses became a stumbling block for the rear soldiers to advance, which inevitably made the entire army formation a little scattered.
"Siege!"
Chen Wu, who had already made the crossbow archers and archers in his recesses stop and concentrate on shooting Yuan Tanjun, saw the slightly chaotic formation of Yuan Tanjun in front of him, so he waved his lance again and issued a military order.
So Zhu Weijun, who were on both flanks of Yuan Tan's army, finally launched an attack on the encircled Yuan Tan army......
