Chapter 72: War (2)
"Woo woo woo woo--"
The heavy horn suddenly rang, and the horns were blowing and echoing continuously.
As the sound of the trumpet sounded, the entire camp became busy, and the soldiers of each army moved closely with the military flag.
The sound of horse hooves, footsteps, the sound of soldiers and armor rubbing, and the sound of swords and guns colliding, are connected together.
The soldiers in each barracks acted quickly under the command of their respective commanders and lined up in front of the camp.
At the center of the army, Liu Feng was holding a phoenix-winged helmet in his hand and wearing a thick and gorgeous bright light armor. His arms were in the shape of a dragon's head. The breastplate was divided into two parts from it, with raised round flower decorations on it, and was buckled backwards with the armor on the upper edge.
From the under-mandibular longitudinal bracelet to the chest plate, the cross-belt intersects with the horizontal band, the upper half of the belt reveals a round belly protection, the abdominal bracelet is painted in a mountain pattern, and there is a knee skirt hanging from the left and right sides of the belt, and the red-bottomed black cloak behind it, the whole person looks heroic and extraordinary.
When the horn sounded over, the three armies had already assembled. Looking around, the soldiers in front of them were all shiny armor, shining with their armor, sharp swords, and murderous auras surged.
The various square formations were in order, with flags covering the sky and sun, and were blown by the strong wind, especially the black handsome flag with the character "Liu" in the central army, which was particularly eye-catching.
This flag is the core of the entire army.
"Lord, the three armies have already gathered!"
Yang Rong, wearing armor and holding a sword around his waist, walked to Liu Feng and bowed and said.
This time he was unable to stay in Laiyang, but went to war with the army. Liu Feng gave him the position to join the army, and he had no real power, so he could only participate in the military. To put it simply, he just provided some suggestions, that's all.
"Set off!"
Liu Feng waved his hand and then walked onto a car pulled by two war horses. The other captains turned over the horses one by one.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three armies moved with each other, and the clanging friction between the armor and the sound of footsteps were low and solemn!
"What a mighty military power!"
Inside the camp, Qin Feiyan and Zhou Qing were lying on the fence, looking at the army lined up in front of them, dazzled and fascinated.
The army set up its formation on the open plain outside the camp. Not long after, everyone saw dust flying in the distance, soaring into the sky.
Immediately, a black line that could be seen by the naked eye appeared on the plain ahead.
As the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing. All the soldiers held their breath, and there were only heavy sounds of footsteps in their ears.
"Dongdongdongdongdong······"
When the imperial reinforcements reached a certain distance, a sudden burst of rapid drums sounded, and then the soldiers who were originally moving forward slowly immediately raised their weapons and launched a charge against Liu Feng.
"Let the former crossbowman prepare!"
On the high slope where the central army was located, Liu Feng ordered the flag soldiers beside him.
"yes!"
As the flags waving on the high slopes.
The leader of the former army immediately began to issue orders to their respective subordinates.
Hurry!
The sword and shield soldiers who were originally standing in the front row moved sideways and behind, and a large number of crossbow soldiers holding yellow-shouldered crossbows and long bows moved forward from behind the front army, replacing the original sword and shield soldiers' phalanx.
Among the crossbowmen formations, the first row was half-squatted and the second row stood. All yellow-shouldered crossbows "brushed" to the ground, and the cold crossbow arrows were aimed at the surging army ahead.
Behind the crossbowmen is the archer formation, and they draw their longbows one after another, preparing to shoot at 45 degrees.
Boom-
When the charger's enemy began to enter the range of the archer's shooting.
"Swish swish swish swish--"
A sound of bowstrings vibrated, and the overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly broke through the sky, filling the sky, blocking the sky.
This black arrow cloud drew beautiful parabolas in the sky, and then landed in the enemy's camp. In an instant, screams burst into tears.
Before they could recover, the second round of arrow rain roared out again, densely packed, like a storm.
With the blessing of Liu Feng's attribute abilities, the sharp arrowheads could easily penetrate the enemy's leather armor. The soldiers were like cutting wheat and planted on the ground, and were stepped into flesh and blood by the crowds that followed behind them.
Blood and energy are spreading, death is spreading, and the cruelty of the battlefield can be seen.
When the enemy entered the range of the crossbowmen, thousands of crossbow arrows suddenly shot out, and the soldiers rushing in the front seemed to hit a wall of arrows and were knocked to the ground.
But soon, the enemy's long-range troops also reached the range and began to organize counterattacks. Both sides were caught and killed and injured.
In general, Liu Feng has a great advantage, after all, the enemy's long-range troops can only fight back with projectiles.
The lethality of crossbow arrows is much stronger than that of the arrows shot. The disadvantage is that they are slower to load. After shooting for several rounds, the enemy has almost rushed in front of them.
As the flag was waving, the crossbowman immediately retreated, retreated to the rear of the square through the distance between the square and speed, giving the position to the sword and shield soldiers in front.
The sword and shield soldiers formed a dense formation, protecting the above with one hand and holding a knife in the other hand, looking at the enemy rushing towards him.
Awkward!
Most of the arrows thrown down from the sky were blocked by shields, making dull trembling sounds, and they could not penetrate the shield at all. However, there were also stray arrows hit some soldiers in the square formation.
After the crossbowman retreats to the safe range.
"Enter--"
The sword and shield hands of the front army began to move.
"Kill! Kill! Kill—"
The sound of neat shouts and killing reached the sky. The two armies suddenly clashed together, just like two waves colliding in an instant. The front rows of both sides suddenly flew over and flew with blood and flesh.
Every minute and every second, people are either chopped to the ground, or have different bodies and heads, crowds are intertwined, blood is flying everywhere, and broken limbs and arms are seen everywhere.
It was the first time in his life that Liu Feng personally directed such a large-scale battle and fighting. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, with living lives constantly being consumed.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield ahead, he showed that he seemed very calm, but he was extremely nervous. After all, as the leader of the army, every command of his command was related to the lives of his soldiers. If any mistakes occur, countless people will die.
As time went by, both sides continued to invest their troops, and the battle also entered a state of harsh control, and they fought to the point of being equal.
Although most of the soldiers on Liu Feng's side have much better equipment and physical fitness than those of the enemy's short-term recruitment of the country's soldiers, the command skills of the opponent's chief general are obviously not comparable to those of Liu Feng, the new bird on the battlefield.
Commanding a battle, military theory and practical experience are indispensable. Although Liu Feng has been studying military books these days, his practical experience is almost equal to 0. If he is not fighting with him now, his combat effectiveness is not the regiment training with weaker combat power, but the elite soldiers of the Qian Dynasty, he may have fallen at a disadvantage from the beginning.
