After a rain of arrows, thousands of Shaxi Yi soldiers who set up camp in front of the watchtower, a gust of wind seemed to rush towards the bridge.

However, at this time, the dead soldiers of the stone pillar behind Qin Kezhong had also rushed to the shore, all holding giant shields, standing in line on Qin Kezhong's left side.

"Formation!"

Qin Kezhong gave an order, and there was no need to say a word, and the shield-wielding warriors under his command, who were old in the battle array, immediately faced the enemy, put the giant shield in their left hand in front of them, and held the gun in their right hand, and stretched the head of the white pole gun forward from the gap between the giant shields.

As soon as Qin Kezhong finished giving the order, a group of Shaxi Yi soldiers with rattan machetes or short axes and spears ran to him, and one of the Yi soldiers holding a short axe suddenly threw the short axe in his hand at Qin Kezhong from a few steps away.

Seeing an axe suddenly coming, Qin Kezhong hurriedly squatted sideways and hid his huge body behind the shield.

The axe flew against the top edge of the shield, slashing at the door of a stone-pillar white-pole soldier who was lining up behind Qin Kezhong.

I only heard the white pole soldier scream "ah", and then fell to the ground with his face in his hand, holding the axe that had been cut into his face, wailing and rolling on the ground, and it seemed that he could not live.

Qin Kezhong glanced back, and while continuing to shout "formation", he suddenly stood up with his shield and threw the white pole gun in his hand towards the Yi soldier who only had a rattan card left.

The white-pole spear, which was more than a foot long, galloped out like a giant arrow shot from a bed crossbow, piercing the Yi soldier's rattan card with a "poof", and the momentum passed through his chest again without diminishing, nailing him firmly to the ground.

Qin Kezhong threw out the white-pole gun in his hand, and the Yi soldiers who rushed on the opposite side had already slashed at him, he covered it with a huge shield, and at the same time reached behind with his right hand, took off the mountain axe from his back, and slashed it out.

The Yi soldier slashed the machete on Qin Kezhong's iron-covered rattan plate, although he cut through the iron sheet, but did not cut through the shield, and the machete in his hand fell into the rattan card under the iron sheet.

When the mountain opening axe in Qin Kezhong's right hand slashed over, the Yi soldier hurriedly retreated, holding the rattan card in his hand to protect him, but to no avail.

Qin Kezhong's right hand swinged with all his might, and with a bang, the Yi soldier's holding up and blocking rattan card was cut into pieces, and it fell diagonally along his left shoulder.

The entire axe slashed in from his left shoulder, and then slid out of his right rib, splitting the Yi warrior who was charging at the forefront diagonally into two halves.

While Qin Kezhong was fighting hard, the two teams of the enemy and us collided together with a bang like a tide crashing on the embankment.

The Shaxi Yi soldiers, who had already rushed to the front, slashed the machetes and axes in their hands on the shield array that looked like a wall in front of the stone pillar earth soldiers.

The stone pillar soldiers holding the giant shield were in front, most of them were in a defensive state, allowing the Shaxi Yi soldiers to slash and attack, but they only used their bodies to resist the giant shield, refusing to take half a step back, and only when a few Shaxi Yi soldiers were about to rush into the gap between the shield array, they would be assassinated with white pole guns.

The whole scene looked like the Shaxi Yi soldiers who were overcrowded and fiercely besieged had the advantage, but Qin Kezhong didn't have any worries in his heart except for still shouting "formation".

Because he was used to seeing such a scene, because this was originally the way to play the stone pillar earth soldier spear phalanx.

Only by withstanding the first wave of the enemy's attack with the shield wall, and the white pole soldiers lined up behind the shield wall can they give full play to the power of the spear stab.

Sure enough, when more and more Shaxi Yi soldiers gathered outside the shield wall, and gradually surrounded the stone pillar earth soldiers who crossed the river along the Lengshui River Bridge to the west bank, Qin Kezhong suddenly shouted: "Prepare!" - Kill! ”

When the prepared order was shouted, there was a loud bang, and the three columns of white-pole soldiers in place behind the shield wall in unison transformed the white-pole guns that were originally carrying spears on their shoulders into a flat-end posture with their left hands in the center and their right hands in the back.

And the first row of dead soldiers who held the giant shield to form a shield wall, after hearing the order to prepare, like Qin Kezhong, instantly squatted down and pestled the giant shield in their hands on the ground.

Qin Kezhong finished shouting preparations, paused slightly, and shouted the order to "kill" again, and in an instant, hundreds of spears stabbed out over the shield wall.

"Ahh

A painful scream came from above Qin Kezhong's head, and the Shaxi Yi soldier, who was about to cross the shield wall to continue the attack, was pierced in the chest by a white pole soldier who came up from behind Qin Kezhong.

The barb of the white pole gun ensures that when the spear pierces the enemy's body violently, the spear will not easily penetrate the body and be difficult to pull out.

And the spear itself, which is one foot five inches long, ensures that the white gun can easily pierce the enemy's body.

When Qin Kezhong heard this scream, he immediately shouted: "Collect! ”

Immediately afterwards, he pushed the giant shield violently, helped the white pole soldier with the gun behind him, and pulled the white pole gun out of the bloody body of the Yi soldier who was still screaming and struggling, and then shouted the order to "kill" again.

More than 700 white-pole guns, obeying Qin Kezhong's loud orders, stabbed round after round.

Each round of collective stabbing will cause a large number of casualties to the Shaxi Yi soldiers gathered on the opposite side of the stone pillar earth soldier shield wall.

After four rounds, in front of the shield wall led by Qin Kezhong, hundreds of corpses of Shaxi Yi soldiers had fallen, and some who were not dead fell to the ground struggling and wailing.

The commander of this group of more than 2,000 Shaxi Yi soldiers was blocked by the surrounding subordinates under the watchtowers in the distance, and they still jumped to their feet and scolded the Yi soldiers under their command, and ordered them to continue to rush and fight, bent on driving the stone pillar soldiers who had crossed the river and landed on the shore of the Lengshui River.

It's a pity that the Shaxi Yi soldiers who were in front of the stone pillar earth soldiers and the white pole gun formation no longer dared to rush forward, because behind the turtle shell of the shield wall that seemed to be blindly defensive, hundreds of sharp spear heads could be stabbed at any time.

This is not a turtle that only knows how to defend, but a hedgehog or porcupine who can both attack and defend.

The Shaxi Yi soldiers in front of the formation, let the leaders in the distance behind them shout and scold, but they refused to step forward again.

Seeing this, Qin Kezhong knew that the time had come to take the initiative to attack, so he immediately stood up with his shield and shouted loudly: "Listen to my orders!" Forge ahead! ”

After Qin Kezhong shouted this, he immediately took a step forward and walked over step by step towards the Shaxi Yi soldiers who were a few steps away in front of him, and as he walked, he used the mountain axe in his right hand to hit the giant shield in his left hand, "Dong", "Dong", "Dong", "Dong",

The shield-wielding dead soldiers who walked side by side with Qin Kezhong, like Qin Kezhong, did not take a step, and struck the giant shield in his left hand with the body of the white pole gun in his right hand, making a uniform "dong" and "dong" sound.

The white-pole soldiers in the second, third, and fourth rows behind the stone pillar earth soldier shield wall also followed this rhythm, step by step, and marched forward in array with guns.

The combat effectiveness of the stone pillar white pole soldiers is amazing, and they can often win more with less, relying on the strength of the collective.

In order to give full play to the strength of the collective, it is necessary to rely on strict discipline and strict search to ensure that a high degree of unity is maintained at all times on the battlefield.

Qin Kezhong has not read any military books, and may not understand the universal laws contained in it, but he fought all the way from the identity of a sinner and a dead soldier to become the commander of this phalanx, and countless experiences told him that as long as his position is not chaotic, whether it is facing the enemy's infantry or cavalry, the spear formation of the white pole soldier is invincible.

Sure enough, as the shield wall spear array commanded by Qin Kezhong continued to approach, the Shaxi Yi soldiers on the opposite side involuntarily retreated step by step.

In the end, I don't know which Shaxi Yi soldiers were the first to turn around and run away, in short, the remaining hundreds of Shaxi Yi soldiers scattered in the neat rhythm of "dong dong dong" that was getting closer and closer, turned around and ran.

In the Shuixi Tusi jurisdiction of this era, the punishment was extremely cruel, and those who took the lead in escaping on the battlefield were bound to be executed by the whole family, and most of the rest who fled with them would be punished with the flesh of cutting off their noses, tongues, and ears, and even gouging out their eyes and chopping off their hands and feet.

With the approach of Qin Kezhong's spear forest shield array, the commander of the Shaxi Yi soldiers near the watchtower in the distance also seemed to see that the enemy in front of him was very strong, and no longer blindly scolded and asked his subordinates to attack, but under the escort of the Yi soldiers around him, he followed the Yi soldiers who fled and returned, and retreated to the back of the hillside where the watchtower was located.

The rain of arrows that had been stopped because the Shaxi Yi soldiers took the initiative to attack shot down from the watchtower again.

However, although the watchtower is very high, it is thick at the bottom, thin at the top, and the space at the top is limited, so it can not accommodate many people and horses, and the shooting holes around the think are also limited, even if it is full of archers, it can only shoot dozens of poisonous arrows in one direction at a time.

At a distance of about one hundred and fifty steps from the watchtower, Qin Kezhong ordered his subordinates to stop advancing, relying on the earthen wall of the previous camp of the Shaxi Yi soldiers, and put the shield pestle on the half-human-high earthen wall to resist the rain of arrows thrown by the Yi soldiers and archers on the watchtower from time to time.

As soon as Qin Kezhong repelled the Shaxi Yi soldiers who came to prevent the official army from crossing the river on the west bank of the Lengshui River, Qin Gongming led the follow-up Shizhu native soldiers through the bridgehead, arrived at the riverbank, and began to command his troops to build a camp on the right side of the bridgehead, on a slope outside the maximum range of watchtower archers.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Liangyu also personally led the rear team to reach the west bank of the river through the Lengshui River Bridge.
