At this time, with Qi Lin's order, and he sent a team of family members to rush forward in person, after the surrounding officers and soldiers saw it, their morale finally rebounded, and they also rushed towards the White Dragon Army. (.. )
Jiang Li was wearing an old iron armor and rushed to the front, he was one of Qi Lin's generals who led the charge this time.
Jiang Li was quite bold about this person, and he was also very respected by Qi Lin, and after receiving Qi Lin's order, he rushed forward with his subordinates without saying a word.
Even these Qi Lin's family members have a much stronger will to fight than these officers and soldiers, because as long as Qi Lin does not order them to retreat, even if they die in battle, they cannot retreat.
Because their family is counting on Qi Lin to live, they are not paid by the imperial court, they are supported by Qi Lin.
For now, he would rather rush up and be killed by the rebels than flee out of fear.
If he is killed by the rebels, at least he will have a reputation of dying on the battlefield, and Qi Lin will treat his family well at that time.
Those officers and soldiers are different, they only get the imperial court's military salary, but the military salary in these years is really pitiful.
If they die in battle, it is estimated that those pensions will go into the pockets of corrupt officials by the way, and even the imperial court will not be able to issue death pensions for officers and soldiers for a long time.
At this time, of course, these officers and soldiers must cherish their lives, otherwise if they die, their families will suffer.
Sixty steps is not a long distance, as long as you rush violently, it is estimated that it only takes a few breaths to rush through.
But these eighty steps are still a disaster for these officers and soldiers, because the White Dragon Army's platoon of guns has hardly stopped for a moment.
The officers and men who charged on the spot were killed in the path of the charge, either by bows and arrows or by birds.
If you are shot with a bow and arrow, if you don't die, the end will be better, but if you are hit by a bird, if you don't die, it's simply a living sin.
An officer and soldier were directly shot in the neck, and suddenly a burst of blood rushed wildly, splashing all the surrounding companions.
The lead bullet directly broke the neck of this officer and soldier, his head drooped to the side, and he fell down in a daze.
Ahhhh......h
Some lucky officers and soldiers were hit in the arm by lead bullets, and immediately the arm of the officers and soldiers was directly broken, holding the broken arm and letting out a miserable cry.
The screams of their companions are testing the psychology of the officers and soldiers around them all the time, and fear is contagious.
In a short distance of 60 paces, the officers and men who rushed over paid the price of blood, and dozens of officers and men fell on the way to the charge.
Qi Lin in the back almost felt that he was going crazy at this time, and he was both shocked and angry.
Although he had this battle when he was forced by the White Dragon Army just now, it is estimated that it is not easy to fight.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the war began, his officers and soldiers would pay such a heavy price for casualties.
These are all veterans that he has managed to save, and Qi Lin's heart is dripping blood.
In the face of the enemy's dense guns, they were almost powerless to fight back, and could only watch as they were hunted like targets.
"Damn, it's all a mistake in intelligence, this time it's really capsized in the gutter." Qi Lin in the back, his face was gloomy as water at this time, and he blamed himself in his heart.
"Rush, rush, rush, and their firearms will be gone."
Jiang Li rushed while shouting loudly at the other officers and soldiers beside him.
Jiang Li was lucky that during the charge, he was not hit by a bow or arrow.
Now he was wielding the waist knife in his hand, roaring wildly and pounced on the White Dragon Army's formation.
On the other side, Li Zixiao was on horseback in the middle of the formation, watching these officers and soldiers finally wake up from the initial shock and rush towards his formation.
At this time, these officers and soldiers were about to rush to their front.
Li Zixiao immediately ordered: "The herald stops shooting, the sword and shield soldiers go up, and the pikemen press up, and crush them in one go." ”
The trumpet of the herald in the White Dragon Army sounded rapidly again, and the flag bearer in the Chinese army formation immediately waved the small flag in his hand.
After receiving the order, the archers and musketeers on both sides of the White Dragon Army immediately stopped firing, shrank back, and retreated behind the formation.
The next task is to be handed over to the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in front.
Once the enemy rushes forward and the two armies fight in close quarters, they cannot continue to shoot, otherwise it is easy to cause accidental injuries to their own people.
The pikemen immediately followed the sound of their respective officers' orders, took a few steps forward together, and immediately shouted loudly in unison.
Then the front row of sword and shield soldiers immediately crouched down with their shields, and the pikemen in the first row immediately lowered their spears forward.
And the pikemen in the second row, in the gap between the arrays in the front row, dropped the spears and laid them flat, and immediately formed a forest of spears in front of the White Dragon Army, with swarthy triangular spear heads waiting to drink blood.
At this time, the hundreds of officers and soldiers led by Jiang Li had already rushed to the front of the White Dragon Army like crazy, waving their weapons one after another, and crashed into this gun forest.
Immediately, where the two armies met, a blood mist rose up, and at the same time, a terrible scream and roar sounded......
Facing the dense spear formation of the White Dragon Army, as well as the shield formation in front of the formation, the vast majority of the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation had nothing to do with them.
The officers and soldiers who rushed to the front of the White Dragon Army were blocked by the shield formation formed by the sword and shield soldiers in the front row.
The officers and soldiers used their bodies to slam into the shield array, but it was impossible to break away.
The long knives wielded by the officers and soldiers were also difficult to attack the white dragon sergeants behind the shields, and then from the gaps in the shields, they instantly stabbed out one spear after another.
The sound of spears biting flesh like 'poof' sounded one after another, accompanied by bursts of screams.
The fierce stabbing of the spearmen of the White Dragon Army, even if there are officers and soldiers with rattan cards in their hands, it is difficult to save their lives.
Just as the officers and soldiers were attacking the front row of shields, they were stabbed to death by spears stabbed from behind.
Even if there are a few fierce elite veterans, they are lucky enough to dodge the ferocious assassination of the spearman on the opposite side.
They swooped down, trying to rush into the White Dragon Army from under the spear forest.
But their idea was good, but this point, the White Dragon Army had long expected it.
In the end, they were not crucified by the pikemen of the second row.
It was squatted under the spear, and the sword and shield soldiers stopped him and killed him under the spear.
Luo Chao was on the back of the horse behind the White Dragon Army, looking forward to watch the situation of the battle, listening to the fierce shouting and killing in front, and looked a little impatient.
Such a fierce battle, but all the infantry troops in front were busy.
Li Zixiao seemed to have forgotten about him and his subordinates, these cavalry brothers, and never gave the order to let them go.
This time, Luo Chao, a militant, can be suffocated, and he can't stop standing on horseback while watching, after all, he is still young, a little impatient, and not calm enough.
On the other hand, Qi Wei's side, seven or eight years older than Luo Chao, is much calmer than Luo Chao.
He sat leisurely on horseback, quietly listened to the sound of fighting in front of him, closed his eyes and recuperated, but in fact he did not relax at all, and was ready to set off at any time.
"I said Brother Qi, you can really calm down, the front is in full swing, and the two of us are idle in the back, really.
Why can't it be our cavalry's turn to attack? If this continues, the credit will be lost to the infantry in front. ”
Luo Chao pulled his horse to Qi Wei's side and said to him.
In fact, Luo Chao was so anxious by the battle in front of him that he couldn't wait to kill him immediately.
"Haha, Brother Luo, don't worry, the big boss has a number, let's just wait for the order, when it's time for us to go, the big boss will give an order."
Qi Wei smiled and said calmly.
"Hey, forget it, I'd better go back and wait." Luo Chao sighed after hearing this, and turned his horse back to his team.
At this time, the battle between the infantry of the two armies in front also reached the most tragic moment.
The first hundreds of officers and soldiers charged desperately, but the result was like a wave, slapping on a boulder.
And the White Dragon Army's shield array and spear formation stood still like a rock.
The officers and soldiers slapped on it like waves, but the more blood flowers they raised, they couldn't shake the White Dragon Army's formation at all.
The waves crash on the shore, and the flowers are red!
Although the White Dragon Army gradually began to suffer casualties, compared to the official army, it was completely insignificant, and it was nothing.
Li Zixiao sat on horseback, watching the fierce battles on the front front, the tragic scenes, and his face remained unchanged at all.
Now this kind of bloody scene, he has already been in the past half a year of conquest and killing, commonplace, can no longer arouse his pity.
He understands that on the battlefield, there is only a difference between friend and foe, only life and death, and there must be no mercy at this time.
Kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself, and this saying is not wrong at all.
As long as you want to live, you can't be soft-hearted on the battlefield.
Therefore, the spearmen of the White Dragon Army kept killing, and those officers and soldiers who rushed to the front of the battle, Li Zixiao would not have the slightest anxiety and guilt at all.
The casualties of the sergeants and pawns of the war, in his eyes at this time, have only turned into some meaningless numbers, and all he cares about is victory or defeat.
On the battlefield, it is your life and death, if you don't kill him, he will never spare half a point for you, only by killing the enemy, can more people on his side live.
Screams, roars, and curses resounded across the battlefield, the earth was red with blood, and the corpses on the ground were piled up.
Qi Lin was also ruthless here, and when he saw that the first wave of officers and soldiers rushed forward and failed to break through the White Dragon Army's formation, he sent the second batch of officers and soldiers up.
In the end, there were only 300 cavalry and 200 guards left around Qi Lin, and there was already a group of frightened and trembling soldiers behind him.
However, after the second group of officers and soldiers rushed forward, they were still unable to use their flesh and blood to break through the formation of the White Dragon Army, and the infantry on both sides fought a brutal battle in close quarters.
At this time, the White Dragon Army gradually began to gain an advantage, and the officers and soldiers became more and more frightened, and the momentum of the attack began to slowly weaken.
Li Zixiao immediately saw that the enemy army on the opposite side had no intention of fighting again and was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, so he ordered sharply: "Blow the trumpet of attack, and the whole army will advance." ”
With Li Zixiao's order, the phalanx immediately sounded, a long and passionate trumpet, and the flag bearer also waved the double flag in his hand fiercely.
The generals in the White Dragon Army's formation, who had been immovable, immediately understood Li Zixiao's order, and a group of officers immediately shouted: "The whole army attack, kill, kill, kill!" ”
The roar of all the soldiers of the White Dragon Army suddenly sounded like a thunderclap on the ground, and it rushed straight to Xiao Han.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side trembled a little, completely scaring the enemy's courage and making them no longer have the courage to rush forward.
At this time, Jiang Li was covered in blood and was blocked in front of the White Dragon Army's formation, and after he led the crowd to rush over, he fought several times, but he was never able to rush into the White Dragon Army's large array.
Seeing his comrades around him being stabbed to the ground one by one by the fierce rebels, Jiang Li was furious and completely red-eyed.
Although he cut off two spears that stabbed at him in succession, and smashed into a shield array, trying to rush into the chaos formation.
But in the end, a spear came from the side, and it stabbed him heavily into his right rib, and then another spear stabbed him heavily in the left chest.
The waist knife in his hand fell to the ground with a 'clang', and the sharp pain of the wound made his face distorted.
He wanted to reach out and grab the two spears that pierced his body, so that the other party could not pull them out, and fight for a chance for the other comrades who followed him to rush into the enemy line.
But the opponent obviously did not give him this opportunity, and after stabbing him, he twisted the barrel of the gun with his backhand and immediately withdrew his hand, and the action was very skillful.
On his left chest and right ribs, a blood hole suddenly appeared, and two blood springs gushed out.
At this moment, Jiang Li felt the strength up and down his body, as if he had been emptied, his legs were weak, and his knees fell to the ground.
Then he felt that all the scenery in front of him turned blood-red, and the sky spun around, and he landed on the blood-soaked earth.
And what he saw before his consciousness was completely darkened was more comrades, lying in pools of blood like him......
After receiving the order to attack, the white dragon army raised their legs and stepped forward, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row formed a shield array, bent on their waists, put their shields in front, and marched forward in steady advance and broken steps.
The pikemen who followed behind, while maintaining the line, continued to struggle forward to carry out assassinations.
As long as there was an enemy in front of them, within the range of what they could stab, they continued to do so over and over again, and they had to train more than a thousand times a day for this kind of thrust.
After a fierce battle, although the officers and soldiers paid a heavy price, the casualties on the side of the White Dragon Army were pitiful, and most of them were injured, and there were not many real deaths.
Because when some officers and soldiers came with the army, they also brought some weapons that could be thrown, such as darts, throwing knives, short axes, etc.
When he approached the White Dragon Army's formation, he threw it, which caused a certain amount of damage to the White Dragon Army's pikemen.
At the same time, there were also a small number of brave elite officers and soldiers, after being stabbed by spears, they fought back to death, and also caused some casualties to the generals of the White Dragon Army.
There were even some Xiangyong archers who threw at the White Dragon Army formation from behind, and also shot and wounded some of the White Dragon Army's generals.
However, the front of the White Dragon Army did not become vacant because of casualties.
As soon as a soldier in front of him fell to the ground with casualties, one person behind him immediately stepped forward to take his place.
Therefore, even if the White Dragon Army has combat attrition, the array in the front row has never been vacant.
