【Chapter 756】 Vertical and horizontal

In front of the Allied front.

"Whoosh" arrows rained down.

The sound of "Xiu Xiu" breaking the air was interspersed obliquely, intertwined with each other, forming a large array of arrows in the shape of a spider web, enveloping the entire battlefield in front of the formation.

Correspondingly, the strong bows and hard crossbows in front of the Xiliang army also did not stop for a moment, and the black feathered broken feather arrows roared into the air, and the crossbow arrows wrapped in strong air currents tore through the space. Although the crossbow arrows flew in different paths, their goal was always the same, aiming directly at the infantry and crossbow battalion soldiers in front of the Allied formation.

At the same time, the Xiliang Army's unique pre-Qin strong bow team of 1,000 people, under the cover of the giant shield soldiers in the trapped camp, split into two, detoured from the two wings to 200 steps away from the front of the formation, and then accurately shot the middle and low-level generals in front of the allied army. This is the sniper tactics that Li Li personally taught them, also known as the decapitation operation, the purpose of which is to snipe the enemy's commanders in front of the formation, disrupt the enemy's offensive or defensive deployment, and win the maximum strategic effect with the least casualties.

This is the sharpest attack method of the "Qin Bow Thousand People", and it is also a unique ability that they and ordinary people can't reach. A team of 1,000 people, 1,000 four-stone pre-Qin strong bows, after being divided into two, 500 Qin archers sniped in groups, two people in a group, one sniped, and the other handed arrows to wind; After ten arrows, the positions of the two rotated, and they sniped continuously, and the two of them shot up to thirty sharp arrows with all their might, and the hit rate was about forty percent.

Don't underestimate this 40% hit rate, because it's an astonishing and terrifying record of our time. You know, in the current war and fighting. Even if the two armies combined were only 10,000 men, they would consume at least 20,000 arrows or even three times as many arrows in the battle. Or even five times. Take the decisive battle between the Xiliang army and the allied army in front of him, the number of arrows consumed by either side is more than 300,000, and the Xiliang army alone has prepared 500,000 sharp arrows for this battle; In comparison, the number of feathered arrows prepared by the allies was at least fifty percent higher than that of the Xiliang army, or even more than twice that of the Western Liang army.

In other words, the number of feathered arrows prepared by the two armies was at least one million, but the combined strength of the two armies was less than 600,000. And how many officers and soldiers of the two armies were actually killed by arrows, accounting for at most 20% of the total strength, or even less. Thus. The hit rate of archers in this era is generally not high, and the hit rate of 20% in large-scale battles is already very good. And the sniper hit rate of the Qin Gong Thousand Men is as high as forty percent, that is, three sharp arrows will be able to shoot a low-level general of the enemy army, which shows that its lethality is amazing. Extremely strong in combat. The most rare thing is. The Qin Gong Thousand Men team shot enemy generals with a team rate or above, and there were many enemy generals with strong combat power.

Fortunately, they were few in number, and their manpower was sometimes poor, and they could shoot up to thirty arrows in a large battle, usually shooting twenty arrows in one rotation and immediately retreating to the rear, hiding in the baggage and not participating in the battle. Therefore, this kind of pre-Qin strong bow team engaged in precision sniping is impossible to form on a large scale. Therefore, this team of crossbowmen belonged to the Jinyi Guard Battalion, except for large-scale battles. He has rarely been seen.

However, the brilliant record of the Qin Gong team is amazing. The first battle at the beginning of its establishment was to severely damage the two divine beasts, and exert a strong deterrent on Huan Fei, forcing Huan Fei to be subdued by Li Li under the rat trap. The second battle was the battle of the Blue Wolf Valley of the Western Liang Army's northern expedition to the Southern Xiongnu, in which the Qin Gong team successively sniped more than 400 middle and low-level generals of the barbarian army, as well as dozens of barbarian generals of the commander and above, with outstanding achievements and great achievements.

And this decisive battle in Loudiyuan is the third battle in which all the Qin Gong sniper teams are dispatched to participate. What the results will be are unknown, so let's wait and see.

"Boom——— kill!"

Under the dense rain of stray arrows and arrows, the 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry with Li Li as the arrow formed an extremely powerful arrow impact array, jumped over the layers of obstacles scattered on the battlefield in front of the formation, and rushed into front of the Allied army formation with extreme ferocity, and met with the infantry giant shield array blocking the front. The giant shield array was followed by the 20,000 crossbowmen of the allied army, and then the central army of Yuan Shao, but at present, the allied princes and hundreds of generals have retreated to the rear of the Chinese army, and most of the people who remain on the front line are ordinary soldiers and middle and low-level generals. This is a war practice handed down from ancient times, an unbreakable iron law, which has been the same since ancient times. As for Li Li, the coach of the Xiliang Army, who took the lead in charging ahead, it was purely an outlier, and the art master was bold, and this was closely related to the high morale and strong soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

"Roar ——— bell!"

In the deafening roar of the Beastmaster, but seeing Li Li driving the Golden Lion Beast King to leap over the square shield several feet high, the Golden Lion Battle Knife suddenly swept out. With a few dull sounds of sharp weapons breaking bodies, the three giant shield soldiers who were blocking in front of Li Li immediately turned their heads in different places, and the shields standing on the ground also fell to the ground with a bang.

At this moment, the Golden Lion Beast King pointed his claws to the ground, carrying Li Li into the Allied Giant Shield Array at a gallop, and tore a gap in the Giant Shield Array of the inner and outer three layers in a few leaping steps, and more than ten shield soldiers died tragically under the Golden Lion War Knife in an instant.

And this gap could no longer be closed as soon as it appeared, only to see Li Zhi, Huan Fei, Yin Yu and Tie Yu brothers and other nearly 100 Jin Yiwei and Flying Bear Battalion generals who followed Li one after another, and carved out a relatively spacious passage through the gap in the giant shield that was only for one person and one rider. Immediately, tens of thousands of Xiliang war horses rushed into the giant shield array like a tide, and instantly tore the giant shield array of more than 10,000 people to pieces.

Then, countless Xiliang iron cavalry crushed through the mighty might, completely submerging the allied giant shield array in the torrent of iron hooves. Such a swift offensive caused the 20,000 crossbow battalion soldiers behind the giant shield array to retreat at all, and they were swept by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the blink of an eye; It roared like a rolling torrent, so that the 20,000 crossbowmen did not even make a splash before they fell under the horse's hooves. Even if someone can escape the crushing of the war horse, they can't avoid the murderous cold Tiege.

After the impact of the torrent of iron hooves, the positions of the Allied giant shield array and the bow and crossbow battalions were red, the broken arms of the broken bodies and the corpses trampled to pieces by the war horses were more than a foot thick, and the strong, pungent and even suffocating smell of blood quickly spread, filling the entire Loudiyuan and reaching into the sky. Above the mud and the white bones protruding from the ground, there were very few survivors and able-bodied, and the hundreds of Allied soldiers who survived were all paralyzed in pools of blood, screaming and wailing weakly.

However, this was only the opening battle of the decisive battle of Loudiyuan, and the battle really entered the stage of frontal battle from this moment.

Sigh!

In the fierce battle of "Quercus Qiang Qiang", the neighing of the war horse overshadowed a qiē sound, which became the main theme of the entire battlefield. Although there are also tens of thousands of allied cavalry mixed in, it is still the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that actually leads the trend. Because, from the moment Li Li took the lead and rushed into the battle formation of the Allied army, the 100,000 cavalry behind him joined forces with the cavalry of the Longxiang battalion attacking the right flank, and reformed the 130,000 iron cavalry with a more powerful impact to attack the flood peak, and swept towards Yuan Shao's camp with a storm of wind and waves.

"Kill ——— bell!"

In the loud bang, the Jin Qi war knife waved in the air, flying left and right, like a spiral flying, harvesting a fresh and tenacious life, up to this time, there have been more than 100 lives forcibly ingested by the Jin Qi war knife, making the blood on the Zhangwu long knife dripping, every swing of the knife with a bewitching and strange red light, in the dark night under the light of the torch emitted like a sparkling wave, beautiful and treacherous.

However, when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry unstoppably rushed into Yuan Shao's Central Army, the impact arrows of the Fengya Array were quietly replaced by five generals, including Huan Fei, Yin Yu, Tie Yu, Tie Xiao and Chen Zhi, who replaced Li Li and led the Xiliang Chinese Army War Cavalry into the Chinese army camp. The two flanks of the front and arrow array have been restored to their original state, the left flank is still the wolf cavalry army led by Dian Wei and the Shuofeng battalion of Qubei to attack and retreat, and the right flank is the Qinglong battalion led by Zhang Liao and the 20,000 flying bear lightly armored cavalry to quickly expand the results of the Chinese army, and wantonly kill and injure the allied infantry army formation that was disorganized.

This is the essence of the Blade Formation, the Chinese army tore open the gap, and the two wings quickly expanded along the gap.

It can be called: the arrow breaks the formation, the wings fly together, indomitable, and unstoppable.

At this moment, where is Xiliang coach Li Li? Could it be that he accepted it when he saw it, retired after success, and quietly retreated to Xiliang's main formation?

Obviously, the answer is no.

In fact, Li Li was still in the lead at the moment, his blood-red swords dancing in the wind, the blood mist rolling everywhere he went, and the broken arms of his body fell like rain, galloping on the battlefield, vertical and horizontal, invincible. However, the direction of his attack at this time had quietly deviated from Yuan Shaozhong's army, but led Li Zhi and other thousands of cavalry to kill the left flank of the allied army, and met the Montenegrin army that was on the verge of defecting as scheduled.

It's just that the Montenegrin army is about to change banners, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao and the princes who also retreated to the rear of the Chinese army are still in the dark, and they don't know it. The reason for this is that the speed of the Xiliang cavalry breaking through the front line of the Chinese army is too fast, so fast that the allied princes are caught off guard, and before they can send the general to lead the army to rush and kill, they are hit head-on by the Xiliang army, which makes them dizzy and frightened. This is all because Yuan Shao desperately hoped that Li Li would take the lead in attacking, but he did not see any movement for a long time, and when he mistakenly thought that Li Li would not take the initiative to attack, he did not admit that Li Li suddenly launched an attack, and personally led the whole army to attack. In this way, the allies were taken by surprise, so that the two lines of defense in front of the formation were destroyed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and quickly broke through, and then smashed Yuan Shao's army.
