Under Xue Wu's arrangement, the heavy shield bearers of the Liang army were unanimously in the front. The original intention was to form a shield formation during the decisive battle to deal with the Qin army's arrow formation in a targeted manner. Then the shield formation separated and the infantry rushed out.
This was also the basic strategy developed by the Liang Army before the war based on the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
But now, everything was disrupted. The first thing they faced was not the Qin Army's arrow formation, but the cavalry attacking both wings.
The sudden change made the Liang army somewhat in a hurry. Many people had just set up their vertical shields, and the infantry came running behind them. Before they even set up their halberds, their horses had already plunged in from the gap between the two vertical shields!
The powerful impact caused the Liang troops on both sides to howl and fly backwards.
This is just a corner of the battlefield.
Of course, there were also many Liang troops with heavy shields in front and halberds at the back. When the horses came close, they stabbed directly with their halberds, turning the Qin cavalry into a hornet's nest.
Although the cavalry was dead, the momentum of the horses did not diminish. What followed was a sudden collapse of the horse.
The entire scene was filled with crashes, screams, and the neighing of horses.
Most of Qin's elite cavalry were war horses captured during the expedition against Xirong. These horses were tall and strong, and their power when charging was very terrifying!
And on a vast land with cavalry everywhere, it is definitely a nightmare for the infantry!
As for Xiao Yuan's military order, the two-wing cavalry did not have to be eager to fight. The main task was to break up the Liang army's shield formation and create conditions for the main force to annihilate the enemy.
Therefore, looking down from a high altitude, on the entire battlefield, in the front row of the Liang army, two long dragons composed of war horses, carrying billowing dust and smoke, criss-crossed from the left and right...
At the same time, the Qin army's infantry had advanced dozens of steps.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The exciting war drums sounded.
"Arrow Array Preparation"
The commander's flag waved, and all the generals drew out their swords from their waists.
The neat sound of armor rubbing together!
The soldiers in the first few rows of the Qin army loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward in unison.
"put"
Xiao Yuan pointed his sword.
Buzz!
The sound of bowstrings loosening in unison created a huge movement!
Tens of thousands of arrows, fired at the same time, seemed to tear the air apart!
Dark clouds suddenly rise!
From behind Xiao Yuan, it passed quickly over his head.
The dense arrows blocked the sun in the sky, making it feel like a dark curtain was falling at that moment.
But this feeling is fleeting, because the speed of the arrow is too fast!
It has been overwhelming and sweeping down!
A large black screen slammed into the Liangjun camp.
Plop, plop!
Almost instantly, the ground was covered with eagle feathers.
It was accompanied by countless corpses and a series of miserable howls.
How many people were shot to the ground.
How many people have been nailed into hedgehogs.
On the feet, head, shoulders, and chest, sharp arrows pierced through the armor and were nailed to it. It was shocking!
Without the protection of the shield array, this round of arrow array dealt a huge blow to the Liang army. I don’t know how many soldiers died under the arrows.
After the arrow formation, in addition to the carved feathers and corpses on the ground, a large open space instantly appeared in the front row of the Liang army.
The Qin Army's archery formation is unparalleled in the world. Its scale, wide coverage, and far range have long exceeded those of other countries. At such a distance, the Liang Army's crossbowmen could not launch a return fire at all.
Fortunately, as King Liang is a monarch, his protection is naturally very strong.
When the arrow array just swept over, they were immediately surrounded.
Although the Liang army's shield array was broken up by the cavalry, there were still many shield-bearers. The shields in front of King Liang were erected, and clanging sounds could be heard from time to time.
He was under protection, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he shouted miserably:
"Charge! Charge through the Qin army's arrow formation!!"
"The whole army attacks!" Xue Wu raised his sword high and waved his flag.
"Kill"
Following the top order from here, the soldiers behind Liang also burst into loud shouts, raised their swords, and rushed forward crazily.
The entire scene seemed to be moving rapidly, with chaotic footsteps mixed with people's roars.
The Qin Army’s second round of arrow formation has arrived again!
In an instant, a large area of life was harvested.
But this did not stop Liang Jun's charge.
As the distance between the two sides quickly shortened, the Qin army's crossbowmen were well-trained. Under the commander's flag, they directly drew back their bows and staggered forward with the halberd infantry.
At this time, during the charge, the Liang army's crossbowmen also loaded their bows and fired back.
Arrows are coming.
"Shield Array"
boom! Boom boom!
The heavy-mounted vertical shields fit together tightly to form a steel mirror, and random arrows hit it like raindrops without posing much threat at all.
"Counterpressure Liangjun!!"
After giving the order, the front row of the Qin army raised their shields and began to press forward!
This is also a consistent characteristic of the Qin army's operations. No matter how many enemy troops they face, they must first overwhelm them with momentum.
The distance between the two sides has narrowed again.
Then, the heavy shield hit the ground, and the long halberds were placed on the vertical shield and thrust out!
Blood splattered.
In just a moment, a row of people was like cutting wheat.
Where the two armies clashed, it was cruel and bloody!
Facing the thorn-like halberds, many Liang soldiers raised their sabers high, howled loudly, jumped up, and swooped forward without fear of death.
From the ferocity of its soldiers, it is not difficult to see the combat power of its army.
But they faced the Qin army who was equally brave and good at fighting, and they were called tigers and wolves!
This battle was extremely fierce.
At the same time, the cavalry led by Peng Shuang circled back again after the attack and joined the battlefield from the flank.
On the Liang Army side, under the command of King Liang, his cavalry also began to make a roundabout attack.
The scene descended into a melee.
Start the pure bravery of the soldiers!
King Liang returned to the chariot and sat in charge of the army. He pointed his sword and roared:
"Chariots out of battle"
The infantry quickly separated.
The chariots were hung with thick maces and other sharp weapons, and were pulled by several horses. The soldiers on the chariots couldn't help whipping their whips.
"drive"
The war horses were in pain and galloped desperately. The chariots kicked up dust and rushed into the crowd.
The Qin army reacted quickly. Someone formed a tilted shield array and used the angle to tilt the wheels of the chariot, crashing to the ground and dragging it a long way.
There are also generals who loudly command: "hook the horse's legs"
The halberds were equipped with hooks. When they came out together, the horses neighed and the chariots were knocked down directly. However, they still carried the momentum and knocked away a large row of Qin troops in front.
Regarding Liang Jun's chariot, Qin Jun had already done some research and targeting, so it did not have a perfect effect at all.
King Liang, who was looking at the overall situation from behind, looked increasingly gloomy.
Because judging from the entire battlefield, the Liang Army's power has long been suppressed!
The destruction of the grain and grass camp, the attack by the cavalry, the rampage of the arrow formation, and all the other battle conditions combined together, the Liang army was defeated in this decisive battle.
It’s just that King Liang is still unwilling to give in. He has an army of 500,000!
