At the foot of Jitou Mountain, under Xu Jun's big guard, Yu Wenming looked suspicious, and said to Yuwen Chengtoe: "Your Highness, Xue Rengao really has the courage to be unstoppable. In a matter of moments, there was no enemy in the front of our army, and in the blink of an eye, it was already about to break through our front line. ”

Yuwen Chengtoe, who was dressed in silver armor, was not moved, but said lightly: "The second formation of the front army will fight, change the formation, line up the infantry phalanx, and kill Xue Rengao!" ”

"Change formations, platoon infantry phalanxes, and respond to the front formation!" Yu Wenming personally stepped forward and waved his sword and shouted.

The formation that was tightly building the front suddenly changed, and after a while, one by one, the Xu soldiers who were wielding the long lance of the Zhangba infantry, holding a cowhide round shield on their left wrist, quickly stepped forward, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a small phalanx, and then formed a wedge-shaped large phalanx. With steady steps, the spikes of the long lance shone cold, and the armor strode forward with the sound of clanging.

Platoon infantry phalanx, which was originally the Macedonian infantry phalanx in the Western Regions. Later, it was brought into the Central Plains by Wang Shichong's ancestors, and then changed by Wang Shichong into the Huainan Changlance infantry phalanx.

At that time, the Central Plains heroes competed with each other, and when Chen Pojun and Wang Xuanying, the son of Wang Shichong, jointly dealt with Li Mi. The Huainan platoon infantry phalanx of the Wang family was born, and the Battle of Luokou became famous in the first battle.

The platoon phalanx that advanced like a wall, pierced out like a forest, and was like a solid wall left a deep impression on too many people.

The platoon infantry phalanx was a little more equipped than ordinary soldiers, but it was nothing more than the normal heavy infantry needed. But these infantry can be armed in large numbers and quickly. But it can rely on a neat array. The infantry lance of the forest, the shield array like the mountain wall, can easily fight against all the infantry, archers, and even light cavalry as long as the number is enough.

It can be said that in addition to the hoplites, in addition to the defending army, a well-trained platoon infantry can play a crucial role on the battlefield, and even change the outcome of a battle in many cases.

since. Among the various forces, basically began to form such platoon infantry battalions. Some will be improved by Chen Junzhong, but there are also infantry phalanxes that are completely imitated like Xu Jun.

But it turns out. Whether it is imitated or rebuilt, the power of this phalanx is still amazing.

This kind of infantry phalanx, which is higher than ordinary light infantry, has stronger mobility than ordinary light infantry, can attack and retreat, and can be defended, especially on large battlefields, is definitely a critical force.

In front of the two armies, the Xu army, which was scattered by the Western Qin army led by Xue Rengao, was like a tide of retreat.

Countless footsteps rang out. The neat infantry formation strode forward with shields and lances like a forest. Like a city wall full of spikes, it is constantly squeezing towards the Western Qin army.

"Lance infantry phalanx!"

In the Western Qin army, Xue Renyue, the king of Jin, exclaimed.

Xue Rengao killed several Xu soldiers around him with a halberd, glanced coldly at the infantry formation attacked by Xu Jun, and said coldly: "Do you really think that an infantry phalanx can help me?" ”

"Great Qin Iron Eagle Warrior Battalion!"

A loud roar fell, but the Qin army was in the middle of the formation of the Lingqi, the soldiers in the front made way of a passage, and in an instant, an infantry with black armor and black robes, even his face was smeared, rushed out. The black-clad infantry was dressed in black iron armor. Black iron shield in the left hand, black iron sword in the right hand. There was no word, and it was full of strange atmosphere.

The Great Qin Iron Eagle Elite Battalion, which is a special military horse built by the Western Qin Dynasty in imitation of the military system of the old Qin State in Guanzhong during the Warring States Period.

During the Warring States period, the old Qin State called the most well-trained infantry in the country Ruishi. And the Iron Eagle Sharps. He is the most elite Iron Eagle swordsman in the army. In the Qin period, there were only one hundred and ten Iron Eagle swordsmen. Later, it gradually developed into the Iron Eagle Elite Battalion, which is not only elite in foot combat, but also good at horse warfare and good at horse archery, which is a comprehensive and all-round elite special army.

Xue Rengao was the prince of Western Qin, and personally trained and commanded a large army, including a strong army formed with the original Xue family guards as the core, which was the Great Qin Iron Eagle Sharp Battalion. This battalion only has 3,000 people, but it was selected from the entire Western Qin Army, and it took the path of the world's strongest armies such as the Po Military Camp, the Xiaoguo Army, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the Huainan Army, and the Eight Winds Battalion.

Three thousand iron eagle warriors swung their swords without saying a word and were involved in the phalanx of the Xu army.

Iron Eagle Ruishi has one armor, one shield and one sword, no long weapons, no bows and crossbows, and only one iron sword. However, these swordsmen in iron armor were extremely fast, although they were wearing iron armor, it did not affect their movements in the slightest, shielding their left hand and slashing with their sword in their right hand.

The infantry phalanx was like a forest of long thorns, but almost all the sharp soldiers of the swordsman battalion walked close to the ground, rolling forward, and the long swords were vertical and horizontal.

The power of the infantry formation is distance, but the trick of the Rui Shi battalion is close.

Assassinate, parry.

Block, slash!

Xue Rengao had already abandoned the halberd at this time, drew his sword and dismounted to fight.

Holding a two-handed sword, Xue Rengao did not hold a shield, and followed the footsteps of the Rui Shi battalion to break into the infantry formation of the Xu army.

The infantry formation and the sharp battalion are the most elite soldiers and horses, but at this time, people are constantly falling and dying every moment. The tip of the knife is against the wheat, and the more elite it is, the more intense the collision will be.

The fierce battle continued, and Liu Wuzhou, who was watching the battle on the mountain, also had to lead his army to participate in the battle at this time. The war is no longer in his charge, the two armies are involved together, and if he doesn't invest in it, then the first to lose will definitely be the Western Qin army, and he will be next.

The mountains are all over the field, and the soldiers are shining brightly.

Centered on the Sharp Battalion and the Infantry Formation, the battle went completely into the most frantic tearing and slashing.

Yu Wenming stained his robe with blood and rode back to the Chinese army.

Panting, Yuwenda said with some concern: "Your Highness, the infantry phalanx can't support it, and the people are dying." ”

Yuwen Chengtoe waved his hand, "I saw it." Our platoon infantry phalanx is dying, and there are not many swordsman battalions left on the other side. Passing my order, the battalion of shield soldiers and crossbowmen stepped forward. Don't be reluctant to use crossbow arrows, kill Xue Rengao with arrows for me, and tell the brothers that there are still 1,000 bundles of 100,000 arrows on the baggage cart behind, let them just shoot! ”

The center of the battle formation where the two armies were wrenched. The already broken infantry phalanx received the order. Quickly back off.

Xue Rengao, who was being raised, suddenly showed a vacancy in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that suddenly a dazzling light was shining, and a tower shield more than one person high formed a shield wall in front of him.

Xue Rengao, who was rich in battle formations, subconsciously took a closer look at the gap in the shield wall, and then saw countless shining little coldness.

"Raise your shield, line up!"

Xue Rengao roared, and the elite of the swordsman battalion immediately approached Xue Rengao, and they all raised the iron shields in their hands. The round shields on each side were quickly superimposed, and the remaining more than a thousand swordsmen had already formed a huge and incomparably large round shield array in an instant.

'Shoot the arrows!'

With a loud shout in Xu Jun's shield array, I saw that the entire sky suddenly darkened. Countless arrows shot out from behind the shield formation, forming a dark cloud in the sky, and then roaring down towards the Western Qin army.

Hiding in the shield array, the shields on the hands of the Western Qin swordsmen only listened to the constant vibration. A vigorous stream of sound came out, and a supreme dense sound came out of the head, like a violent hail rain.

A round of arrow rain passed, but the Qin army in the shield array felt as if half a life had passed.

The first round of arrow rain has not stopped, and Xu Jun can already be vaguely heard ordering the second round to be launched.

Although there was a shield array to block it, in the face of the dense projectiles of the Xu army's soldiers, there were still Qin army swordsmen who continued to fall with arrows. Every fallen swordsman will give the shield array a little more space.

Xue Rengao's silver teeth gritted his lips and roared angrily: "The shield array moves forward!" ”

The shield mountain composed of more than a thousand swordsmen began to move, and the swordsmen walked in unison. The mobile shield array was actually intact, and Xu Jun's arrow rain could not harm this elite force.

Sixty paces, that's not a long distance or a short distance.

It took the Qin army half an hour to cross these sixty steps, blocking the twenty waves of salvos fired by the Xu army. Nearly a hundred elite swordsmen fell along the way, and finally moved to the shield array in front of the Xu Jun archers.

The shield array suddenly lifted, and one after another swordsmen jumped out.

"Kill!"

Xue Rengao held the blood sword in his hand, slashed vertically, and took the lead in smashing the two tower shields and opening a gap. More and more swordsmen followed the gap. It continued to expand, and then it entered the flock like a tiger into the ranks of those archers.

The sword light and blood shadow, the long-range shooters were close to the swordsmen, and it was a fatal blow.

The wailing continued. Blood Flying!

Under Xu Jun's bright red daxu, he looked at Xue Rengao and the Western Qin swordsmen who were only left with the last archer array left from the Chinese army. Yu Wenming's face turned pale. He shook his head and looked around, the battlefield had already been slaughtered into a group, soldier against soldier, general against general, catch and tear and kill, and fight in groups.

Now, Xue Rengao has smashed the Chinese army, and he is about to capture the flag, at this time, who can stop him?

"Your Highness, the archers can't stop Xue Rengao, the Chinese army is about to break!"

Yuwen Chengzhi looked at the large array behind him, which was no longer empty, and then looked at the last thin layer of the archer battalion in front of him, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. Said lightly: "Daxu retreats, fights and retreats!" ”

The four veterans of the Yuwen family have no change of color when they hear this, and when they are victorious, sometimes they don't need to command, even if they are swarming, they can achieve the final victory. But if it is the weak side, in a bad situation, if you take the initiative to retreat, it will be a very dangerous thing.

Someone once said that winning a battle does not show the ability of a general, but if you can defeat without chaos, in a large-scale war, a defeated army is safely evacuated, that is the real talent of a famous general. At that point in the battle of Gain, retreat often meant defeat, a rout. Once the army is defeated, it will be difficult to return to heaven if you have the ability to reach the sky.

This is the situation at the moment, there are no reserves, there is no formed force, and retreating at this time, not to mention whether the strangled units can retreat in time according to the order. Xue Rengao, who had already been killed in front of him, couldn't deal with it, and once he retreated, the generals of the Chinese military camp might be the first to be captured.

"Your Highness, please think again! Let the old man lead the troops to block Xue Rengao, if you want to retreat, at least you have to block Xue Rengao's offensive before retreating! Yu Wenming said bitterly. Right now, he has regarded this Second Highness as a useless person with low eyes. As soon as it came up, it was extremely arrogant and left no room for anything. But when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he actually wanted to run away, which was death.

"Needless to say." Yuwen Chengtoe still had that faint expression, and waved his hand: "Immediately give the order, Daxu retreat!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
