Chapter 541: Teach You to Fight (Part II)

Honor: I wish all book friends a happy Spring Festival and a great fortune in the Year of the Goat!

………………………………

Nonsense! Even if the rooted sapling is swept away by a huge force, it will fly out, and a person whose whole body weighs more than 100 catties is swept by at least 500 catties of force, and he is destined to become a trapeze.

The screams were not only coming from the mouths of the soldiers of the Qi Yan coalition army, but also the screams of the spearmen who were responsible for blocking the attack in the first place.

After all, it was a temporary decision, and the spearmen had not done similar training beforehand, and it was a blessing that they were able to successfully insert the spear into the wheel, so how could they know that they should let go of the spear in their hands as soon as they were successfully inserted?

If the chest is swept violently, it must be a broken sternum and the internal organs are misaligned, and it will not be so miserable if it is gently lifted and lifted to fly out, if the arm or the like is used as a force point, it must be determined.

Because ignorance is not a form of hesitation, it can also be seen that one after another Qiyan coalition troops were blocked by spearmen, but each chariot that was successfully blocked was at least accompanied by a Lu Zhejun.

Of course, not every squad can stop the next chariot, although many squads succeed, but there are also many squads who don't know whether they are stupid or what they are running over, and when the chariot continues to gallop forward, the hooves of the horses pulling the chariot crush the human body, and the wheels also crush the flesh.

The spearmen who were simply sent to block the attack did not have only one defensive line, but were distributed into three lines, so that after paying the price of at least 600 men, only about 70 of the original 250 vehicles of the Qiyan coalition army collided with the inclined shield formation composed of heavy infantry.

Zhou Bo, who survived and managed to kill a chariot, was left with only six people, and even though a short time had passed, these living people were still stunned, and a desolate horn pulled them back from their state of distraction.

"Take the body of the robe that died in battle, and let's withdraw from the left." Zhou Bo's voice is not so loud, and his voice is also a little hoarse. He turned his head to look at the battle line behind him, which was still colliding. Look at the battlefield that has only been fighting for a short time, but the ground is full of tank wreckage and inhuman-like battlefields: "Really...... It's tragic! ”

What's even more tragic is that although they have already had an experience of defending the tank, all the veterans who survived have been withdrawn to the rear to rest, and they have not had time to sum up the experience of the defense tank. So this time, the heavy infantry who were responsible for stopping the chariots, they simply had no experience at all, and they could only deal with it according to the previous drills.

The shield array is not omnipotent, and not every organized shield array can successfully aim the force point at only one wheel, although the seventy chariots that charged up were blocked for a while and suffered heavy losses and fear, but the wisdom of pulling the chariot horses did not evolve to a certain extent, so the soldiers on the chariot were afraid and could not change anything, and they still rushed forward at high speed. Then it was either overturned, trampled on, or run over the shattered shield.

"......" Tian Rong, who found that this time was a little different, regretted it very much in his heart, he understood that Lu Zhejun was not able to block the chariot with small losses every time, it was obvious that the hit of the ballista and the play of the shield array were related to sufficient preparation in advance, and the second attack on Lu Zhejun by this chariot failed to stop it at a small cost.

"It's the same if you send an infantry army." Of course, Zang Di also saw that Lu Zhejun was not so easy to block the chariot this time, but this time Lu Zhejun did not launch the suffocating arrow array!

"Yes, yes......" Tian Rong still regretted it a little, after all, guessing is one thing, reality is another, and it's always a little unwilling not to try: "The left and right wings of the enemy are moving fast, and they are stretching outward, so it's good for the Yan army to deal with it?" ”

Far away. Therefore, Tian Rong could not observe that a considerable part of the cavalry on the left and right flanks of Lu Zhejun not only wore armor but also had horse Kai, and he couldn't see that Lu Zhejun's cavalry was already equipped with stirrups that could be borrowed, and only thought that Lu Zhejun's cavalry was the same as the Yan army's horses, which relied on the speed of war horses to achieve fast-moving troops.

Yes, cavalry is cavalry. Before the cavalry could officially launch a charge, the Chinese people called the cavalry on horseback "single horse", to distinguish it from a kind of riding arm that also relied on four-legged horses but had different uses.

In fact, Zang Di had already seen the cavalry on the left and right flanks of Lu Zhejun. He is not Tian Rong, a person who does not have a single horse walking class in China. The Yan State rode a single horse, and he himself led such an army to fight against the Donghu people and the natives of the Korean Peninsula respectively, which was not so strange to the army on horseback.

"The enemy forces are pulling away. It doesn't look like he wants to get close to the dismounted array," Zang Di's face was full of confusion: "Is it to attract our attention and send troops to intercept and thin out the strength of our own formation?" ”

It's not that they don't have knowledge, but even the grassland people rarely use soldiers on war horses to launch melee combat against the formation of foot soldiers, and for the current single horse, it is more to borrow the speed of the war horse and let the soldiers save their bodies to rush to the battlefield, and when they arrive at the battlefield, they dismount and drive the horses to the side, and then the soldiers begin to organize a formation to attack.

"I found ...... The enemy's horses are very fast, and their distance is not like to attract us to divide our troops, but more like a way to make the horses have enough acceleration intervals? "Zang Di didn't think in the direction that Lu Zhe's cavalry was going to attack the dense infantry phalanx, that was what the charioteers should do.

Tian Rong where to care so much, the second wave of attacking charioteers after a period of struggle, after achieving certain results, the whole army was annihilated, Lu Zhe's army was cleaning up the battlefield and carrying down the wounded soldiers of his side, seeing that the whole army was about to advance again, no matter what the left and right wings of Lu Zhe's army wanted to do, they couldn't let Lu Zhe's tactical mobilization be satisfactory, anyway, what the enemy wanted would be broken with all their might.

"Well, the enemy army on the left flank is about 3,000, and the right flank has 5,000, so the Yan army will send an equal number of horses to entangle." Zang Di also knew that when Lu Zhe's army could not be allowed to attack head-on, the left and right flanks of his own formation would be threatened again, otherwise it would be a three-arrow attack.

The three-arrow attack is not uncommon in the land of China, once the attacker has an advantage in any arrow, the defenders either abandon some of the people and retreat to reorganize the defensive line, or form a collapse chain reaction, and in the end the defenders can get the bitter fruit of defeat.

Lu Zhe's army, which had quelled the chariot attack of the Qiyan coalition army, did not advance immediately, it was not that Lu Zhe's side suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the chariots, they did pay nearly 2,000 casualties in order to resist the rampage of the chariots, but for the entire army array, it was only the heavy infantry and a few spearmen in front of the array who had to retreat to the back to rest because of casualties.

What really made Lu Zhe's army not advance for the time being was that the entire formation was making some slight adjustments, under the current situation of the large army that was close enough to the Qiyan coalition army, and some of the heavy infantry temporarily withdrew from the war, and the horizontal phalanx of the heavy infantry no longer needed to be so thick, instead it was three to five rows of shield-wielding heavy infantry to prevent the enemy from firing arrows, five to eight rows of charging spearmen, followed by crossbowmen troops forming a small army formation, and behind these long-range attack troops were two thousand heavy cavalry and about six hundred ballistas and ballistas.

Now the war is not the era of cannonballs flying all over the sky, in the case of large-scale weapons of destruction, the defenders basically use shield soldiers in front of the defense and at the same time arrange crossbowmen as countermeasures, so in this process, unless the enemy's morale collapses or the main body is dizzy and fights and is killed, otherwise the fight is still a step-by-step mode.

"Decent, huh?" Tian Rong didn't see how changeable Lu Zhe's battlefield control was: "The three arrows are advancing, but the array remains relatively intact. ”

Relative integrity is a big problem, but neither Tian Rong nor Zang Di will lose their prestige before the outcome of the war is produced. They didn't know that Lu Zhe had cavalry in the true sense, and they thought that fighting in formation was the kind of fighting style in which one queue was replaced by a new queue and continued to fight until the morale of one of the parties collapsed.

Tian Rong is not sure about the offensive battle, but if it is a defensive battle, there are enough shield soldiers and bow and crossbow troops, and there are single horses on the left and right flanks that can be used as flexible mobile troops, in his opinion, as long as the main general does not flee, there is no reason for the Qi Yan coalition army to collapse, after all, the soldiers of Qi and Yan have been trained for nearly two years, and the families of the soldiers are all in Qi and Yan, and they must always worry that their families will suffer retaliation if they escape.

In fact, that's pretty much what it means, which is why two consecutive attacks are not conducive to the morale of the Qi Yan coalition army but still line up for battle, in many years, it is possible for the soldiers to escape to save their lives, but the family will be punished.

"Knock-knock-knock-" The rhythmic war drums sounded on Lu Zhejun's side again, and the Qiyan coalition army on the battlefield watched Lu Zhejun advance with the same pace...... No, it's not an advance, when the two armies entered a distance of 500 meters, according to popular military terms, Lu Zhe's posture was already called imminent.

When the two armies were within 500 meters of each other, the commands from the mouths of the officers were shouted from both camps at the same time.

The Qi-Yan coalition army was naturally the officers at the forefront of the military formation, shouting to the soldiers to organize a shield wall and prepare to defend against the approaching Lu Zhejun to launch arrows. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the Qi-Yan coalition army were also ordered, and the crossbowmen holding crossbows entered a state of waiting to be fired, and the archers drew arrows from the quivers and carried them on the bowstrings, but there was no bow.

On Lu Zhejun's side, the heavy infantry, spearmen, and crossbowmen at the front of the army formation continued to advance, but the long-range attack equipment stopped to adjust the elevation angle.

I don't know what time it is, the frequent "shooting!" Almost as soon as they were shouted out between the two armies, two dark clouds of dense arrows rose into the air at the same time in different directions...... (To be continued......)
