Chapter 342: Bloody Battle
Ancient cities were mostly in the plains, and Beiping County was no exception.
At this moment, on the great plain north of the city, nearly 100,000 people will fight.
The superior Karasuma cavalry, under the orders of Crash, launched a charge against the Qin army.
Qin Feng arranged his soldiers and horses into a crane wing formation and waited for the battle.
The trapping army was on both wings, and 40,000 people laid out five formations, which were linked to form a large array of crane wings. From the sky, it is densely packed, occupying several miles of territory.
Qin Feng, as the general of his own side, was in the center of the formation, surrounded by long-range archer troops, and the gaps were protected by shield players. On the periphery, there are thick sword and shield soldiers and pikemen.
The two sides stretched out nearly a thousand meters forward, with Zhao Yun on the left and Xu Chu on the right, each leading five thousand cavalry with powerful attack power, like a pair of open wings.
When the enemy enters the crane wing, the formation can be immediately activated, the two wings can be extended, and the central division will follow, and the encirclement will be formed immediately.
Collapse shouted loudly and gave an order, "Divide your troops to surround the enemy cavalry and destroy Qin Feng's mobile troops first!" ”
So, 50,000 Karasuma cavalry soldiers divided into two routes, and then formed four strands, and surrounded them with crane wings stretched out.
Tian Feng saw the truth at the head of the city more than ten zhang high, and hurriedly waved the order flag. There were special banner officers who urgently reported to Zhao Yun and Xu Chu. I saw a pair of crane wings folded like a tide, as if a big bird had withdrawn its wings and clinged to its side.
This body was Qin Feng's central formation.
"Damn!" Seeing the retreat of the Qin cavalry, he immediately changed his strategy and shouted: "Before entering the enemy formation, shoot left and right!" ”
Thereupon. The Karasuma cavalry formed a sharp arrow formation, and sharp knives shot at the Qin army's battle array. When you are a few dozen paces, you can make sharp turns with skillful riding skills. At the same time, bend the bow and arrow.
I saw that the head of the front arrow formation turned into two left and right divisions, and the cavalry behind the front arrow formation continued to pour out, and immediately after the arrows, the left and right sides were divided to make room for the rear troops.
Under the hooves of tens of thousands of horses, the dust was formed in all directions, and the crazy Karasuma people continued to appear in the fog, as if endless, and a puffy bow and arrow came like locusts to cover the sky and the sun. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves can shatter a person's heart, and the deadly bow can scare the faint of heart to death.
"The shieldman covers, and the archer shoots. Shoot! Qin Feng also gave the order to counterattack.
The sound of clanging kept appearing on the body of the iron rider who was trapped in the periphery. It was the sound of dense arrows hitting the body. However, the men and horses were all heavily armoured, and only a few were shot to death in the exposed parts, and a few unlucky horses were shot at the legs and feet of a small section of the exposed limbs.
Armor is an important piece of equipment for ancient warfare, and its status is still above the weapon.
The trap is not passively beaten.
"Reflex, concentrate fire with a little!" Zhao Yun gave the order to counterattack, and the Karasuma people galloped in front of them, as long as they concentrated on one point. Naturally, they will take the initiative to bump into it.
The Karasuma people, who had no armor and were mostly open-chested and bare-backed, had excellent riding skills to dodge, but there were still more casualties due to concentrated shooting in a large area.
"Shoot horses. Shoot me a horse! "Xu Chu has been following the lord all the year round, and when he sees that his opponent has superb riding skills, he can always dodge the flying arrows. Different orders were given.
The horses kept falling to the ground in a scream, and the rider threw them out. How can you survive under the dense hoofs of horses? At the same time, the horses fell to the ground, forming a chain of horse accidents. Often one horse can make three or five horses stumble.
Tian Feng smiled confidently at the head of the city and waved the order flag. After the officers who were specially watching reported to Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, the trapped army opened its wings again, and this pair of steel wings was like a sharp knife. Smashing into the formation of the Karasuma people to the left and right, he cut it in half.
Qin Feng's face was grim, and his own troops were constantly falling, but this is war, and it will be a success! He continued to command the central battle formation, and after the counterattack of the trapped army, he continued to fire a salvo into the center of the enemy's front arrow formation, slowing down the pressure on the trapped army after the enemy's left and right diversion.
The first-class combat regiment under his command has a complete range of troops, including 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, 3,000 pikemen, and 2,000 archers. At present, there are three first-class combat legions here in Qin Feng, and there are 6,000 archers.
It can be said that every salvo is a salvo of ten thousand arrows.
Soon, the Karasuma people lost 10,000 troops, and Qin Feng was protected by sword and shield soldiers, and in the face of the rain of arrows of the Karasuma people, the loss was only one-fifth of Karasuma's.
When he commanded the battle, he knew that his strategy was wrong. His light cavalry unit was no match for Qin Feng's heavy cavalry at all in hand-to-hand combat, this was an obvious thing. In addition, he had to withstand the salvo of six thousand archers from the central formation of Qin Feng.
Unable to accept the continuous attrition, he immediately changed his tactics, he wanted to crush Qin Feng in one go, so he shouted: "Order, give up the fight with the enemy's heavy cavalry, and go all out to attack the central infantry phalanx of the Qin army!" ”
As a result, the Karasuma people's sharp arrow array was not diverging, but directly hitting Qin Feng's central array. Crash thought that this time the strategy was the right one, because the infantry simply could not fight the cavalry, and this idea was ingrained in the minds of the steppe people.
However, he was wrong, and the mistake was that he chose a head-to-head showdown. In addition, he also underestimated the strength of Qin Feng's trapped army.
Qin Feng smiled.
Tian Feng at the head of the city behind him was the same, "Order, close the siege!" ”
The flag was unfurled, and the two wings were trapped, and the iron cavalry began to detour left and right.
After Qin Feng got the report of the flag officer, he also gave an order. "The sword and shield soldiers defend forward, the pikemen attack from behind, leaving five hundred here, and the rest of the archers follow the cavalry troops left and right, and encircle! Close! ”
With a thud, fifteen thousand shields smashed ...... the ground, and the guards behind them leaned on their shoulders.
The next moment, the bloodthirsty Karasuma cavalry swarmed in, and the sturdy horse's hooves leaped high and mercilessly smashed into the Qin army's line. The situation of the horse stepping formation appeared, and the collapsed cavalry broke through the sword and shield battle formation of more than ten meters almost instantly, but at this moment, Qin Feng lost more than 3,000 people.
With a buzz, the arrows of the archers shot past, and many Karasuma people fell to the ground in the middle of the flying horses, and the horses that landed were ownerless, scurrying in the formation of the Qin army.
Fly up and step on the horse's hooves. It's like a hammer, just a moment. can trample down a shield-bearer who is blocking with a shield. The Kasuma cavalry on the horse slashed with their scimitars, and blood shot out from the throats of the Qin army. The severed head of the Qin army was like a fountain of blood.
The Qin army's spearmen counterattacked, and the spear entered the flesh, and the sharp tip of the spear brought out transparent holes one after another.
For a time, the entire front was surrounded by bloody rain and bloody wind amid deafening shouts and neighing of horses. One by one, fresh lives passed away under the cold swords and guns. A senseless warrior who uttered a desperate cry.
However, Karasuma has the power of a horse after all. Qin Feng's front was retreating under oppression, and it was gradually becoming loose.
He knew that he could never retreat, and he had to complete the siege.
The rain of blood made him resolute, and the bloody wind made him bloodthirsty.
Herod~, Qin Feng took the reins of a cage of horses, and the people chasing the clouds stood up. "Soldiers, when the time comes, the time of death will be ruined, and the sisters will be bullied. For the homeland, for the mother! ”
He rode into the dust and crashed into the front line of bloody slaughter. In the swing of the Zhenwu Taiji Spear in his hand, he assassinated a Karasuma warrior armed with a scimitar.
"Protect the lord. Charge! Charge! "Three hundred tiger guards, under the leadership of officer Zhang Ping, swarmed out.
They are the best warriors, and they are fearless fighters. Weapons in hand. Harvesting the lives of the enemy in the agitation. Even if you die, you have to give the enemy a blow. Just for a moment. The elite tiger guards killed 500 enemy cavalry, and Karasuma's central offensive was stagnant.
……
More than 30,000 Karasuma cavalry. Madly impacting Qin Feng's central phalanx, opening the gap is victory.
The Qin army needs to complete the encirclement and annihilate the enemy.
Qin Feng's armor was already stained with blood, he had no fear in the chaotic army, he only had one thought, that is: "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
There is nothing more morale-boosting for ordinary soldiers than to see their leaders fighting bloodily and fearlessly on the front.
Qin Feng's fearlessness of death greatly boosted the morale of his own soldiers. They will follow their leaders and fight, and they will die without regret. At the same time, they are also fighting for their own families, their mothers, and their brothers and sisters. They have to protect the hard-won good life at home, which is also one of the important reasons why the Qin army is extremely high.
To be honest, I am also homesick, and the old mother at home is already full of gray hair! The song sounded first out of nowhere, spreading rapidly like a plague, and the song inspired 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, who were fearless in their blood, and with their flesh and blood against the impact of Karasuma's iron horse, they stubbornly held the line that advanced to a thousand meters.
"Impossible! That's impossible! He couldn't believe that the Qin army had only used more than 10,000 infantry to resist the onslaught of his tens of thousands of cavalry.
Wu Yan came on a bloody horse and shouted: "Great King, the Qin army is about to form an encirclement, our army's light cavalry cannot resist the heavy cavalry of the Qin army, and the Qin army is assisted by a large number of archers, if it is surrounded, the whole army will be annihilated!" Retreat! ”
"Fart!" Crash scolded angrily.
It turned out that while Qin Feng was stubbornly resisting the frontal charge of Bandun, the cavalry troops and archers under his command were about to complete the roundabout encirclement of Crash. The trapping army is also a cavalry archer, plus 6,000 archers, and 16,000 archers fire volleys in all directions, how do the Karasuma people in the encirclement respond?
If they countercharge.
Qin Feng's 10,000 heavy cavalry tightened back like a tight spell on Sun Monkey's head, and with the shooting of the archers behind him, the Karasuma people would definitely die.
Looking down from the sky, the front that stretches for thousands of meters is shrinking, and the dust that is constantly pressing towards the center is the most haode witness, and the Karasuma personnel in the center is so small, the gap in Zuihou is about to close!
At this moment, the blood-colored eyes of the collapse were wide open, and the green tendons on his head twisted and burst out like a centipede, trembling with the flow of blood.
"Withdraw, King!" Uyan screamed.
He pulled him from his horse and shouted angrily, "What do you know! If our army retreats from the gap, the Qin army will definitely be surrounded by the left and right, what will our army do when the time comes! Even if the Qin army stands still, just shooting arrows, and our army passes through the middle, it is also a life of nine deaths! ”
"What then!" Uyan clasped the horse's belly between his legs, so that he did not fall down by leaning over.
"Today's decisive battle, either Qin Feng dies or I die! Shan Dun let go of him, raised the sharp scimitar in his hand, and roared: "The whole army assaults!" ”
Karasuma's 3,000 cavalry, who had never joined the battle, followed Thanon and launched a Zuihou charge. He wanted to condense all the liliang into one point, and he also knew very well that compared to the encirclement of the heavy cavalry around him, the infantry line in front of him, which was already much thinner, was the most advantageous breakthrough.
In addition, Qin Feng is there, if you can catch him, kill him! Even if the Qin army completes the encirclement, even if Karasuma is completely annihilated, Collapse will win the victory of Zuihou! (To be continued......)
