"Dong dong dong dong..."
A dozen large drums mounted on carriages were beaten together by a dozen shirtless strong men. Among the strong men beating the drums was the Hebei Army Marshal, King Yun Zhao Kai!
Well, the majestic Prince of the Song Dynasty, the great talent Zhao Kai, who almost won the first prize, has now revealed his true colors!
Now Zhao Kai has already worn his armor and robes. On a cold day, he wears a sleeveless bijia with two thick and strong arms exposed. If you walk in and take a look, you can still see the bijia. With the chest hair exposed at the collar and the beard all over his face, this image does not look like that of a gentle scholar from the Song Dynasty (in fact, most of the officials in the Song Dynasty had beards, and the chamberlains were the pretty ones). Zhang Fei suddenly went into battle shirtless with a snake spear that was eight feet long!
In front of the almost shirtless bearded King Zhao Kai were two thousand-man infantry phalanxes and a cavalry horizontal formation composed of seven to eight hundred cavalry.
The two infantry phalanxes were all hand-to-hand combatants. Everyone was wearing full infantry armor. The front row held three-foot-long spears, while the back row held long axes and knives. Everyone had a side card hanging on their left hand. A small shield, usually used by cavalry).
The cavalry formation was led by Han Shizhong himself. His task was to supervise the battle between the two infantry phalanxes and to prepare for a counterattack when the Evervictorious Army launched a cavalry attack.
While these three formations of infantry and cavalry were preparing to launch an attack, thousands of divine arm archers were already divided into two formations. Under the command of He Guan and Wang Yuan, and covered by the cavalry, they came as close as a hundred steps away from the golden chariot formation. At a distance away. Waves of crossbow arrows began to be fired at the Jin soldiers' car array!
The distance of a hundred steps is neither far nor close. It is just outside the killing range of ordinary bows and arrows (not counting the particularly awesome archers), but the crossbow arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow still have a certain degree of lethality. . It is impossible to shoot through iron armor and large pillars, but there is still a certain probability of passing through the gap between two large pillars, and then shooting through leather armor with insufficient defense.
The equipment of the Victory Army of Guo Yaoshi's headquarters is relatively good. Almost everyone has a suit of iron armor to protect their body. Some people can also wear two pairs of iron armor, one chain armor and one pair of zha armor, so they are not very afraid of the Song army. The god's arm bow.
But the Han'er Army on Nanjing Road was in trouble. They only had a tattered leather armor to protect their bodies. Facing the Song Army's divine arm bow, they could only retreat behind the big pillar. However, the soldiers led by Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong did not carry many large cannons. This time, the Jin soldiers used light equipment to move southward, and it was impossible to carry a lot of heavy equipment. Therefore, the large pillars placed behind the car formation are now very sparse, and arrowheads shot from the divine arm bow are constantly passing between the two large pillars. The generals of the Nanjing Han'er Army, who were held in front by the veterans of the Ever Victorious Army as human shields, were hit by arrows one after another, and were quickly knocked over!
Screams and curses immediately broke out. There were still many generals from the Nanjing Road Han'er Army who wanted to escape, but they were grabbed by the ancestors of the Changsheng Army who were supervising the battle from behind and dragged to the father and daughter Guo Yaoshi and Guo Tiannv.
Pharmacist Guo didn't even look at them, while Guo Tiannu said with a cold face: "Kill them all!"
Those veterans of the ever-victorious army obeyed the order, and then cut off their heads without hesitation!
More than a dozen heads were cut off alive in this way, picked out with spears, and inserted in front of the array to shock people!
Under the shock of more than a dozen bloody heads, the generals of the Han'er Army could only bite the bullet and take the crossbows... Fortunately, the Song Army did not have unlimited crossbows, and the divine arm archers also There is no unlimited physical strength.
After thousands of divine arm bows fired four to five thousand crossbow arrows, the archers had to take a breather. If they wanted to play again, they would have to pay more!
Historically, when the Zhong division led troops to relieve the siege of Taiyuan, because they did not bring any money or supplies, the crossbowmen "stopped fighting" in the middle of the battle, resulting in a disastrous defeat...
When the Divine Arm archers stopped shooting and began to recharge their batteries for the next battle, two thousand-man phalanxes of infantry commanded by He Moss and Liu Qi began to launch!
We can't let these people wait too long, otherwise their courage will pass... Most of them are not professional melee warriors, but archers and crossbowmen. Although their explosive power is not small, they are durable. He lacks strength, is not proficient in fighting skills, and does not know how to form an infantry charge formation. It’s just a rush of courage inspired by the big reward!
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief..."
As Liu Qi and He Moss took the lead in shouting, the shouts of 2,000 people suddenly started, reaching the climax!
The sound of shouting shook the heaven and the earth!
Two thousand tiger warriors, like two thousand moving iron towers, rumbled forward and rolled over.
When Guo Yaoshi saw the melee soldiers of the Song Army coming up, he quickly ordered his generals Liu Shunren and Zhen Wuchen to lead two thousand-man teams each and form two square formations behind the car formation. The Nanjing Han soldiers held long spears and In front, the ever-victorious army held long knives, axes, and hammers and held down the formation behind. Guo Yaoshi was worthy of being a general who had fought for a long time. He could see the strength of these Song army infantry at a glance, and knew that their greatest power was that one rush!
Therefore, the unlucky Liu Jiajun (Nanjing Han'er Army) had to be used as a human shield to block the Song people's spears.
In addition, Pharmacist Guo also mobilized a thousand veterans of the Ever-Victorious Army to hold bows and arrows behind his two square formations, and throw feather arrows at the approaching Song soldiers.
Each of the two thousand armored soldiers of the Song Army wore heavy armor. Even if they were shot with armor-piercing heavy arrows, they would not cause too many casualties.
However, the circle of cars arranged by Medicine Master Guo was a problem. The soldiers could not jump over it, and they could not jump with dozens of kilograms of armor on their bodies! The axemen had no choice but to move forward, cutting and pulling the car away. There were also a small number of divine arm bows in the Ever Victorious Army (they had also been soldiers of the Song Dynasty!), and they began to exert their strength at this time. They aimed at the Song soldiers holding long axes and fired at them, and they immediately knocked over many of them.
The remaining long-axe soldiers wanted to retreat, but when they saw He Moss and Liu Qi coming to the front line with swords and axes to supervise the battle, they had no choice but to turn back and continue their work.
He Guan and Wang Yuan also mobilized some divine arm archers with good shooting skills to fire crossbow arrows to suppress the crossbowmen of the Victory Army.
Arrows from both sides were flying in the air, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground screaming.
Not long after, a hole was opened in the car formation, but it was not too big. Not only could two phalanxes of a thousand people attack together, but even one phalanx could not squeeze in.
However, Liu Qi still issued the order to attack to his subordinates!
Because he saw from a distance that the Jin Thief's infantry spearmen (Nanjing Han'er Army) were also gathering at the gap. If he didn't rush, it would be even harder to break through!
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill..."
As a rapid burst of small drums sounded, the soldiers' shouts shook the sky and the earth. Thousands of people swarmed forward, everyone vying to be the first!
Zhao Kai was so nervous that he even forgot to beat the drum. He just held two sticks, held his breath, stretched his neck and looked forward.
From where he stood, he could see that thousands of soldiers with iron helmets and armors had crowded together, forming an iron stream moving forward bravely. The spears in the first few rows of Tieliu had been leveled, and the iron-made spear tips emitted a permeating cold light under the sunlight!
Opposite them, there was a crescent shape formed by countless shining spear points, also roaring and pressing forward.
This is when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
Soldiers from both sides holding spears collided in the blink of an eye! Some people were pierced by spears and screamed in despair! Some people were pushed to the ground by the point of the gun, screaming for help at the top of their lungs, while more people shouted to kill, and then squeezed forward with all their strength... yes, squeezed! It's not a charge, because the four thousand people on both sides are now crowded together in a relatively narrow breakthrough, and they can't charge at all.
Now it’s a narrow road and crowded with people!
