A large number of people and flags surging in the distance were gradually spreading over. Some people stopped in place, some people in front continued to move forward, and the cavalry on both wings were also moving.
On the hillside further away, infantry and cavalry are also moving according to certain rules.
There were hundreds of thousands of people, like a huge war machine, slowly moving and making huge noises!
In this backward era of small peasant economy and nomadic economy, countless people showed the highest organizational degree of the times in the battle formation and concentrated a large number of resources within their ability.
Guo Shao stood on the hillside, observing every part of the depths of the mist without saying a word.
It can be seen that the pace of the coalition's attack was very calm... They deployed a cavalry between the front and back of the Daxu army, monitored Cao Bin's army, and concentrated their efforts to bite more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry of the front army in this ravine. It seemed that the situation was indeed good.
Guo Shao paid attention to the wooden stakes on the battlefield. About 1,200 feet from the front line of the Xu army, the coalition forces gathered more than 50,000 infantry to line up there.
There are hundreds of square arrays of light, forming a large array with a wide cross-section and a large depth.
The main force of the enemy cavalry was still further behind, and the cavalry on the two wings of the invaders were different in armor and looked like a tattered look, unlike the elite cavalry of the Liao army.
After a while, the coalition vanguard infantry continued to advance uphill, with a force of about 4,000, or maybe 5,000.Below the hillside, there was a loud drum sound.
Woo... The vigorous ox horn sounded in unison, passing the noisy crowd in the wind, and leaping into countless valleys.
On the hillside, a row of commanders waved the two-color flags with both hands, with red hearts on the left and red hands, and red hands with black hearts on the right.The red flag is backward and the black flag is forward, dancing repeatedly.
The generals shouted and cursed from various formations in front of Xu Jun immediately.
The soldiers immediately intertwined, and the four rows of infantry holding spears in front turned around and passed through the gaps between the divine arms and hands in a queue behind; then the heavy infantry in the rear, wearing plate armor, steel helmets, hands with swords and shields moved to the front.
The enemy soldiers, holding various weapons, had already come along the gentle hillside. Countless people stepped on the loess and covered the dust. Wow... The strange screams were like a large group of wild beasts rushing out of the mountains.
The soldiers of Xu Jun all stared at the crowd of people with red eyes, wearing iron sheets, holding swords, guns, sticks, and shields like savages, guns, sticks, and shields.
A general in the crowd above shouted: Da Xu will win!
Long live... The shouts of the troops suppressed the hustle and bustle on the battlefield.drink!The neatly arranged heavy infantry lifted the meticulously crafted iron-covered wooden shield, and placed it on the shield with a one-handed sword.
An enemy soldier in the middle yelled and rushed over within a hundred steps. The chirping sounds were meaningless, but people's voices were filled with nervousness, fear and anger.
Prepare!Prepare... The commanders drew their swords and shouted.
Bang!With a gong, a commanding divine arm in the middle raised the bow and arrow without aiming, and it was crackling... The strings sounded, and a cluster of black arrows in the air filled the sky.
put!put……
In an instant, enemy soldiers rushed up from all directions, and arrows in the air flew up and down.The falling arrows hit Xu Jun's iron armor, jingling and screaming from time to time.
The middle place was first connected in close combat, and there were many people in the crowd, so I saw swords waving.
In fact, people swung their weapons very slowly, and they just swung them hard!
It would be useless to have too little force. Both sides were holding shields, and Xu Jun was wearing heavy armor.
Bang!A man from the Party shouted and knocked directly on Xu Jun's shield with the wooden shield. With the momentum, the soldier retreated and pulled his horse stance half a step back.
The man Dangxiang immediately swung his mace and swung it down. With the first clang, he hit the shoulder armor, which made the soldier scream and the shield fell off. But he immediately picked up the iron sword and stabbed it hard at the gap of the Dangxiang wooden shield, and blood suddenly swelled his face.
A soldier Xu was stabbed into his chest with a knife and screamed loudly.
In front of Xu's army, the queue was turbulent, the sound of killing was shocking, and the sparks hit by iron tools shone like Venus in the yellow dust.
The contact surface of the fight was very limited, but the divine arm on the hillside shot flat against the approaching Dangxiang Army infantry, killing and hurting a lot.
The most terrifying place to fight ahead, but the most casualties were the shooting of bows and arrows in depth.
The heavy infantry in front fought bloody battles, with crazy enemy soldiers in front and densely packed teams behind. There was no way forward and no way back, so I could only fight desperately!
The general yelled not far away: Those who take a step back will kill!
The military band played passionate songs with a trumpet. Each hundred people had civil servants who had command soldiers, and they were also loudly encouraging morale. The military generals were shouting and scolding, and the civil servants were using various noble words to praise the soldiers and regarding them as if they were home... But none of these could eliminate the blood, pain, and fear of the soldiers.
The crowd on the main hillside was connected, with screams and shouts of killing louder than drum music.
People were panting, sweating in the cold air, and spitting white vapor.
The elite soldiers are first and foremost strong men, because they have to work hard to do anything!
Wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, the power of the step bow is always one stone, and you will feel exhausted after pulling it a few times.
A soldier with a divine arm heard the ready scream, so he set off his bow and arrow, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
At this moment, he saw an infantry brother slashing at an enemy soldier next to him. Another enemy soldier in front picked up his spear and rushed over with all his strength.
In an instant, the archer did not think much, and immediately turned the bow and arrow and shot it nearby with a snap.
The Xu army infantry found an arrow suddenly inserted on the forehead of the enemy soldiers on the front. He felt scared and looked back, but at this time the strings of the divine arm and hands sounded, and a large group of people were shooting arrows.
...The word "Xi" is written on the square flag of the Chinese army, flying in the wind.
Guo Shao and his subordinates stood still, watching the yellow dust in front of them, bloody storm.
The soldiers stood there without having to go into battle, but their bodies were tense and they stared at each other.
The trumpeter not far away was kicking his eight-character feet and holding the drums tightly, looking like he was ready to rush.
The shouting sounds on the hillside formed a buzzing noise.
There were loud shouts not far away from time to time, and the sound was short and powerful, extremely nervous.
At this time, a member of the general turned his head, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said nothing.
Guo Shao had already seen with his own eyes that the second batch of enemy infantry was moving forward in formation. This time there were more people, maybe tens of thousands!And the battle ahead continues!
In this situation, the enemy soldiers will invest new forces and replace the first batch of troops!
Wheel tactics.
The enemy troops on the battlefield with messy armor and weapons were like savages, but they were obviously not real primitive people, and their tactics could not be underestimated.
The war in the northwest has been fought for thousands of years. The military advisers of the Liao Dynasty in the coalition were not good at all. The Liao Kingdom was a real powerful country and its influence once exceeded that of the Central Plains. Many distant countries in the north regarded the Liao Dynasty as China.
Looking at the signs of order in the chaos and order in the battle formation, Guo Shao finally spoke: Send the order, use the siege iron cannon to assist the front-line infantry!
Get order!
After a while, Wang Pu picked up the seal, covered a piece of paper, and handed it to a civil servant.Soon the civil servant took the two horses with yellow pennant flags on their backs and rushed out.
The siege mortar with a huge muzzle and a thick and short body on the gun mount was half buried in the soil.
A general took the military order and saw it. He turned his hand to the military staff on the side. He immediately drew out his sword and shouted: Your Majesty’s imperial edict, the iron cannon camp will fight!The iron cannon teams were ordered to prepare to fire the cannon!
While shouting, the soldiers simply pulled out the straw paper blocking the muzzle, which had already been filled with gunpowder and stone bullets.
The twenty or so big black holes faced the sky.Hearing a gong bang, a shout came: Let it go!
boom!boom!Boom... The thunderous sounds sounded one after another, and the earth was trembling.
On the gentle slope, white smoke rose one after another, and flames erupted in the smoke.
The sound was huge, but the rock bullet did not fly fast, and it was huge. It flew into the air with the visible appearance of the eyes, and fell into the coalition crowd with its weight.
Nearly a hundred kilograms of stone fell from the air, and below was a densely formed coalition infantry battalion, spreading all over the place.The stone cannon could hit people at will, only a few hit the open space between the square formations.
The entire battalion of iron cannons fired a volley of enemy soldiers into the crowd, and dozens of enemy soldiers were killed and injured!
The stone bomb fell between the dry and hard loess sand and stones, causing the loess dust to splash, like explosive smoke!
Some hit people straight, some smashed and stones splashed up, and one or two people around them would be injured.
However, the shelling really shocked the Dangxiang Bing. They were hit hundreds of feet away, which was unexpected by ordinary soldiers.
The scene was very terrifying. On the loess, a soldier was lying there with his head broken and his flesh and white paste splattered all over the floor.
Another point is that the bloody liver and intestines are in the pool of blood.
A soldier was covering his cheeks that were hit by a stone, screaming.
In the blockbuster where Dangxiang had just stepped forward, some chaos and disturbances occurred everywhere, and the speed of advancement was slow.People looked up at the sky.
However, Xu Jun's artillery fire rang out and became silent. The iron cannon only carried a battalion of five hundred people. After one round, it was also very troublesome to clean the cannon chamber and load it.
This was also effective. The second batch of enemy soldiers were shocked by the artillery fire for a while, disrupting the rhythm of rotational attacks.
Xu Jun defeated the enemy soldiers in front of him and won a chance to breathe. The heads of the capital and the ten generals hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat into a column.
The commanders of the second echelon above advance in a horizontal line, with gaps between commands, allowing the columns in front to retreat.
Guo Shao still looked at the hill above the large cavalry opposite, where people stood.The two sides are far apart, but are a wide valley, as if they are looking at each other.
On the hillside further away, infantry and cavalry are also moving according to certain rules.
There were hundreds of thousands of people, like a huge war machine, slowly moving and making huge noises!
In this backward era of small peasant economy and nomadic economy, countless people showed the highest organizational degree of the times in the battle formation and concentrated a large number of resources within their ability.
