Feathered arrows are not necessarily fatal to armored soldiers, but the crossbows fired by those pedal crossbows, and the spears thrown by those tall and long-arm soldiers, are extremely harmful to men and horses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The stumbling horse made almost all the cavalry who rushed to the front fall to the ground, and the scattered cavalry that was lucky enough to rush over immediately turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

The slowdown was rewarded for a second round of spear throwing.

Both sides were battle-hardened veterans, and while one wanted to slow down the opponent's onslaught, the other knew that the cavalry would have no advantage over the infantry in formation. The front fell, and the back did not slow down at all, but accelerated, slammed the reins of the horse, flew directly over the body of the fallen companion in front, and then pounced on the phalanx in front.

"Stand!" Egami Yan yelled.

A shield half a man tall stood up with a clatter.

"Rack!"

A spear with a handle was placed on top of the shield, and in front of the galloping horse, a forest of swords and spears was erected.

When there are still a few steps away from these contradictions, either regardless of the cavalry's destruction, the knight is thrown out by the strong inertia and flies to the gun array in the air, but some of the war horses have come to a sharp turn and run sideways with the gun array.

"Hit!" Jiang Shangyan's loud shouts resounded throughout the audience.

One by one, Chu soldiers with short knives in their hands drilled out of the gap in their shields, waved the short knives in their hands, and turned to cut the horse's legs.

One by one, the horses fell to the ground with a wail, and one by one the cavalry fell from their horses, and before they could get up, the daggers were already shining with cold light and swept through their throats.

"Rush!" The two long knives were raised high, slashed left and right, reflecting the sunlight, and two rays of light flashed in the air.

The shield soldiers in the front row carried heavy shields and moved forward slowly, the shields they were holding were not the self-defense shields used by ordinary soldiers, but the heavy shields specially designed to prevent cavalry from charging into formation, the shield was covered with bright spikes, each shield weighed dozens of catties, and it was impossible to lift it with one hand, without a hand. Of course, with such a heavy shield, you can't run.

They didn't need to run now, the heavy shields were advancing, the spears on their heads were also moving, and between the shields, the infantry with short knives and small shields were nimbly interspersed.

What they have to do at this time is to close the distance between them and the cavalry, so that the opponent's speed cannot be used at all.

The spear forest moved slowly, and the short knife soldiers unceremoniously waved the short knives in their hands, slashing all the living creatures that were still struggling on the ground to death one by one, whether they were wounded horses or wounded soldiers.

The cavalry impacted, not only did not shake the opponent's lineup, but the opponent approached step by step, and Chen Ci in the distance gasped. He had also fought with the Qin people, and although the Qin people fought fiercely, they did not have such sophisticated equipment as the enemy in front of them, so he did not feel it as deeply as he did now.

"Zhihua, take 3,000 people to bypass from the left flank, Jinhua, take 3,000 people to bypass from the right flank, I will attack from the front, and attack from three sides." Chen Ci said sharply.

"Yes!" The two sons immediately rushed out to the left and right flanks, and the two forces separated from the large army and circled towards the left and right flanks.

The drums changed suddenly, and Chen Ci's cavalry no longer entangled with their opponents, but rushed to the left and right wings, bypassing the flanks of the Baoqing battalion, and actually rushed straight to their rear, they wanted to go around the rear of the Baoqing battalion to attack.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Jiang Shangyan not only did not panic, but laughed hehehe.

"Change the formation, stand in all directions, hold on to the spot, and drag them down!" The two knives in Jiang Shangyan's hand spun around, forming two halos in his hand, and this was the effect he wanted.

"Chen Lao'er, Lao Tzu is not fighting alone, come on, let your attack be more violent, and let you see the true majesty of our eastern border army of Chu State!"

Jiang Shangyan said that he was not fighting alone, because on his flank, there was another army, that is, Lu Feng's miners' battalion.

Lu Feng's miner battalion, this is the first time on the battlefield, like this to withstand the heavy task of several times the enemy's attack head-on, it is obviously an impossible task, it can only be undertaken by the battle-experienced Baoqing battalion, of course, Jiang Shangyan also has this psychological preparation, they join the Taiping Army, naturally they must have the consciousness of acting as the tip of the knife.

The five thousand Chu troops formed a phalanx, dealing with attacks from four directions, but Jiang Shangyan did not have any anxious mood, staring at Chen Ci's Chinese army banner in the distance, he hoped to attract the last bargaining chip in the hands of the other party, so that when the miner battalion appeared on the battlefield, it could be fatal with one blow.

Despite this, his Baoqing battalion would have suffered greater losses, but it was able to crush the enemy forces in front of them in the shortest possible time, thus winning the battle.

This time the ambush on the battlefield took advantage of the asymmetry of intelligence between the two sides, the Taiping army was clear about Chen Ci's movements, but Chen Ci knew nothing about the enemy in front of him, and there was no way to find out how many soldiers and horses the other party had, when his scouts found the scouts of the Baoqing battalion, although they also launched a horizontal search, but under the entanglement and interception of the other party, they did not complete the thorough search of the battlefield, and they were not prepared for the deadly killing moves of the other party hidden on one side.

Chen Ci left the reserves, which was just a habitual move of a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and when the formation of the Baoqing camp began to loosen and there were signs of collapse, it was the time for him to use the reserves.

In a dense forest a few miles away from the battlefield, the soldiers of the three thousand miner battalion sat on the ground, Lu Feng's face was anxious, but also excited, he kept standing up, sitting down, and kept walking around among the soldiers, staring at the expressions on each soldier's face, seeing that there was nervousness, he also pretended to be relaxed and patted the other party's shoulder, and whispered a few words of comfort, in fact, he himself was not nervous in his heart.

This is what he really led a battalion of soldiers to the battlefield.

And his lieutenant Yang Zhi, who seemed to be sitting calmly under a tree, was concentrating on sharpening the wooden block in his hand with a small sword, but as long as he looked at the wooden block in his hand that was completely out of shape by him, it could be seen that his heart was not at peace.

The two battlefield junior brothers, with a group of battlefield rookies, have to do things that determine the outcome of a battle.

One by one, the scouts lurking on the battlefield are returning the battlefield situation to the intelligence department who is observing from afar.

"The Baoqing battalion blocked the cavalry attack."

"The Baoqing camp has begun to fight back."

"The enemy surrounded the Baoqing camp on all sides, and the Baoqing camp was held in place."

"The enemy is attacking fiercely, and the Baoqing battalion is struggling to support it."

The formation of the Baoqing camp shrank in a circle. Much smaller. ”

Hearing the return of this scout who came back at the end, Lu Feng couldn't stand any longer, "What about the casualties of the Baoqing battalion?" ”

"It's too far away to see clearly, but I estimate that the casualties are at least more than a thousand." The scout hesitated, "They concentrated the wounded and dead in the center of the quadrangle, and it looks like there are quite a few. ”

"Has Chen Ci's reserve team moved?" Lu Feng asked anxiously.

"Not yet!" The scout shook his head.

Yang Zhi finally threw away the wooden block in his hand that he had cut messily, stood up, and walked to Lu Feng's side: "Jiang Shang Yan Ke said that we can't attack until Chen Ci moves his reserves, I think we have to do what he says, so let's wait!" ”

Lu Feng looked at Yang Zhi intently, and Yang Zhi was inexplicable: "General Lu, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"General Yang, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, how can it be rigid, maybe Jiang Shangyan miscalculated his strength, or maybe he underestimated the opponent's combat effectiveness, haven't you heard that he has suffered thousands of casualties? It is said in the war book that if there are more than one-third of the casualties, one unit will lose its combat effectiveness, and half of the casualties will basically collapse the army, and I think we should attack. ”

"General Lu, don't just follow the script with me." Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I have read many times more books on the art of war than you don't know?" Not only the military book, I have also read a lot of generals' battlefield experience, these things, I'm afraid you can't see them, I think Jiang Shangyan is a battlefield general, what he said must be reasonable. ”

"General Yang, I know you hate the Chu country and the Chu people, but now we are all in a group!" Lu Feng scratched his head, thinking of Yang Zhi's life experience, dropping the book bag was really not his opponent. But Yang Zhi objected to him sending troops at this moment, whether he was selfish, he really didn't have the bottom, anyway, this one didn't have much respect for General Qin, and he always said Qin Feng in private.

Although Yang Zhi is his deputy general, he has a special identity and his martial arts are much higher than himself, and Lu Feng is usually polite to him.

Hearing Lu Feng say this, Yang Zhi's face suddenly changed, "General Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I just want to say that the overall situation should be the most important now, General Yang, I have no malicious intentions, and you have always known that I have always regarded you as a brother." Lu Feng spread his hands.

Yang Zhi was furious: "Okay, since you say so, I have nothing to say, you are the main general, you want to send troops, I will naturally be ordered, I will come to the front to charge, let you see if I have selfish intentions." ”

After saying these words angrily, Yang Zhi turned around and left, while Lu Feng turned around and waved his hand, looked at the three thousand miners' battalion sitting on the ground, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking." ”

On the battlefield, the quadripartite lineup has indeed shrunk a circle, and Jiang Shangyan has also gone into battle several times to save the danger, but he knows in his heart that the seemingly dangerous quadrangle will be more stable every time it shrinks, although the casualties are not small, but Chen Ci wants to break through his formation, it is not a matter of a moment, as long as his reserves are also put into the battlefield, this battle, even if he wins more than half of it.

There was a roaring sound in the distance, Jiang Shangyan looked up in shock, and then he saw that a figure was rushing towards here like a galloping horse, with a large iron sword on his back. With such a fast speed and such a conspicuous big sword, who is Yang Zhi who is not the miner's battalion?

This guy actually did not act with the troops, but went out alone, leaving his troops far behind, and when he was completely clear in Jiang Shangyan's eyes, the banner of the miners' battalion had just emerged.

"Yang Zhi, **** your mother!" Jiang Shangyan was so angry that he smoking, and slammed the knife in his hand into the ground, and scolded the sky there.

The miners' battalion came early. Chen Ci's reserves will not be invested here, but will turn back to meet the miners' battalion, this battle is broken! (To be continued.) )
