The refugee men and women at the front screamed and fell to the ground. Nearly a hundred of them were shot to death in an instant, and many more were injured by arrows. Murong's infantry continued to drive away from behind.
Let the refugees keep coming forward.
When Murong's infantry drove away the refugees, many of them were trembling. They were all young and strong men selected from the refugees.
Seeing a large number of refugees and civilians serving as cannon fodder and dying in vain, they felt a little uncomfortable, but they only had this little feeling of pity left.
It would be impossible for them to take the lead in charging instead of the refugees.
Are dead Taoist friends not dead poor Taoists? Anyway, they come from various dynasties in history. They are neither relatives nor friends, so they cannot resist the barbarians for the so-called righteousness.
Mai Tiezhang dared to rebel because of his strength. Ordinary people like them, in front of the elites of the Murong clan, even dozens of them would not dare to take action against a barbarian.
Their courage and determination have been wiped out by the various cruel methods used by the Murong family these days. All that was left was to numbly follow orders.
"Cum again!"
The sound of the iron rod sounded again.
The second round of arrow rain will knock over the refugees who continue to pour forward. At this time, Zhu Wu ordered his men to shout, asking those who did not want to die to run in both directions. If they continued to charge into the formation, they would show no mercy.
Some people heard the shouting and wanted to escape to both sides, but they couldn't help themselves among the crowd and could only move forward.
In the battle formation.
Mai Tiezhang held the ring-headed knife in his hand, and stared straight ahead with a pair of tiger eyes. His eyes were full of coldness. Even if the homeless men and women were shot to death one by one, he did not move at all.
He was born in Nanchen, the late Southern and Northern Dynasties in history.
It is said that the most chaotic period was the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In this era, the king was not the king and the ministers were not the ministers. Both the kings and the ministers used their methods to be extremely cruel and cruel.
The common people who live as refugees in this era are no longer as good as a piece of grass. This is the true meaning of ordinary people being like grass.
People born in any era will naturally carry all the atmosphere of the era. This is the case with the Mai Iron Staff. As long as it goes on the battlefield, it is truly ruthless.
Mountain and water thieves such as Chen Da and Mu Chun were born during the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Before the Jin soldiers went south, the world was still okay, so even though the two of them killed and looted, and their hands were stained with blood, they still felt unbearable when they saw a large number of refugees wailing and falling to the ground.
However, their intolerance is actually their weakness on the battlefield.
Amidst bursts of roars and screams, the Mai Tiezhang gave orders, and the archers behind released a third round of arrow rain.
Just three shots before the battle!
After the third round of arrow rain, the numb refugees finally rushed to the van array.
People pushed each other, and the many refugees were like waves hitting the rocks, slamming into the iron plate in front of the van.
Puff puff! The spears on both sides of the van pierced their bodies fiercely.
With a van blocking the front, the Donghu Army's formation did not waver at all and remained intact despite the impact of a large number of refugees.
One scream after another.
There were wailings and blood and corpses were everywhere.
However, the troops of the East Lake Army and the Murong clan were like warriors stabbing each other hard with weapons, and neither side dared to relax. They all have the will to defeat their opponents.
Many refugees were like moths flying into a flame, and hundreds of them were killed or injured in less than a moment. In their eyes, the car formation in front of them was like an insurmountable mountain.
After the casualties reached a certain level, the number of refugees decreased and it became less crowded.
At this time they heard the shouts of Zhu Wu's men.
As if they suddenly woke up from a dream, many refugees screamed and fled frantically towards both sides of the car array.
Two to three thousand refugees were nothing in the eyes of General Murong.
It's worth it in exchange for three rounds of arrow rain from the East Lake Army, allowing the infantry to take the opportunity to rush forward!
"Drum attack!"
At this time, the infantry commanded by Zhang Tai took advantage of the opportunity of the refugees to flee and quickly approached the car formation. With his order, the Hu people who acted as the backbone of the infantry began to shoot arrows one after another.
A hail of arrows fell behind the carriage, and a dozen unlucky Donghu soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.
Then Zhang Tai stepped forward personally, commanding the infantry to wave their spears and attack the chariot formation.
boom!
Murong's infantry collided with the carriage, and someone took the opportunity to stab at the gap between the carriages. As soon as he stabbed one of the soldiers, he himself was stabbed to death by the gun array.
First team! Team 2!
Mu Chun and Chen Da, who were from a hundred households, were already in close combat with Murong's soldiers. They both gave up their spears and swords, and instead held Huanshou knives and kept slashing at the gaps in the car formation.
At this time, all thoughts in the two people's minds were thrown away, and most of their minds were focused on the fight.
Their talents and skills are at the peak of the second level, and they are all generals who can equal ten or even twenty.
At this time, he put aside his distracting thoughts and started killing people, guarding the middle of the van tightly.
The other eight hundred households were not as strong as the two of them, but under the command of Mai Tiezhang, they made no mistakes and kept out the Murong infantry step by step.
"Sticked!"
In the infantry battle between the two sides, the East Lake Army had the upper hand, especially when the two second-level generals rushed to the front. Murong's hundreds of infantry rushed through the two formations and showed signs of collapse.
However, Wang Jing and Zhu Wu, who were watching the battle on the hillside, frowned slightly.
Zhu Wu looked at the scene in front of him and said quickly: "My lord, the barbarians sent infantry to die. They want to entangle our army's infantry formation, making it impossible for the army to change, and then want to use cavalry to break the formation!" "
Wang Jing nodded silently, he could also see this.
There is nothing surprising about Murong's tactics. Just now they first drove away the refugees, and then sent infantry to attack the car formation directly!
The large formation of vans is not easy to break through just by looking at it. A thousand people are deployed in the formation, which is enough to block the attack of thousands of people.
There is no difference between hundreds of Hu people's infantry charging into the formation and dying.
The opponent is not a fool. There must be other reasons for arranging the troops like this. And when you see the Hu cavalry who are conserving their strength and not dispatching, you can think of their purpose.
Thousands of refugees, as well as selected and trained infantry, are all expendable cannon fodder in the eyes of the Hu people. As long as they can defeat the enemy in front of them, they can take tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of infantry...
It can only be said that the young and strong manpower, which is more precious in Wang Jing's eyes, is worthless in the eyes of the barbarians.
"We can't change the formation now! Mr. Zhu, you are in charge here!"
Wang Jing did not hesitate. They rode directly towards the hundreds of cavalrymen on the edge of the hillside to join together.
The infantry formation can constantly change during normal times, but changing the formation during a battle is simply a recipe for death.
Unless Han Xin comes to take command in person, there will be flaws as long as the formation changes.
The Hu people's hundreds of cavalry were waiting for this moment.
If Wang Jing and Mai Tiezhang remain in formation and the formation cannot move, the barbarian cavalry can move in other directions... This is the natural disadvantage of infantry facing cavalry.
Before the Hu cavalry attacked, he and Mu Hong had to protect the two wings of the chariot formation.
In fact, as the two sides have been fighting until now, half of the strategies originally discussed by Wang Jing and Zhu Wu have become ineffective.
