Chapter 211: Formation
More than a thousand soldiers were massacred, and riots began in the massacre department.
The wives and children of the soldiers who died tragically at the hands of their own people were assigned to other soldiers as "rewards" in their crying. However, the rewarded soldiers were not very happy, and some were heartbroken.
Even the crying people cut off all the heads of the executed soldiers, piled their bodies outside the slaughter department, and hung their heads high on the city wall to shock the morale of the army.
Aga opposed several times, but Duan Xiu agreed with this plan very much. The bodies piled up outside the tribe as high as a hill. The dense heads were hung above the city wall. The smell of fishy smell lingers the entire slaughter department and has not dissipated for a long time...
Xuanyuan's side of the army was first integrated with the manpower brought by Houtu, and he went out of the Pi tribe to attack the massacre department.
After three days, I crossed the Xiuxun Mountains, and what I saw was an extremely magnificent tribe - the Tushimen.
The Tushima is located on a mountain range with turbulent mountains around it. There is indeed a large broad plain right in front of the Tushima. The south side of the plain is Xiuxun Natural Danger.
The entire wall of the slaughter department was built of rocks and was extremely strong. There were more than two meters wide passages arranged on the city wall, and the defenders had enough space to alternate.
The outside was covered with archers' bunkers. It seemed that the rebels had indeed done enough effort after occupying the massacre department.
"It's really a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Xuanyuan sighed.
Chang Xian sighed, pointed at the mountainous bodies in the distance and the heads hanging on the city walls, and said regretfully: "My lord, your kindness will still make them die..."
Xuanyuan shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect them to be so cruel... But such a deterrence is very effective regardless of the enemy. Next is another tough battle!"
At this time, Zi Jing walked up with Bai Zi, bowed to Xuanyuan and Chang first, and said, "My lords, I just received the news that the Tushiro Department was in charge of Duan Xiu, a fog-making officer who was fighting in the Xiu Department at that time. Moreover, Miss Aga was also in the Tushiro Department..."
"Aga...Duan Xiu..." Xuanyuan said to himself, "According to the model provided by Aga, have the chariots been brought?"
Chang Xian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, all the chariots were dismantled into parts and have been brought here. They can be assembled in half a day." Xuanyuan nodded and said with satisfaction: "Then arrange it and complete the assembly as soon as possible, and strive to break through the fog array with one blow!" "Subordinate the order!" Chang Xian said.
Xuanyuan glanced at Houtu, who was rectifying the troops not far away, and said softly: "The Tiger Division has been safely taken back. Why has there been no news from the Xiong Division for so long..."
Chang Xian stroked his beard and said, "Sir, don't worry too much. Lord Dahong has always been calm, and the leader of Huang Xian is also an extremely steady person. They will never do anything recklessly. With the cooperation of Lord Zilong, it is estimated that the two soldiers of the Xiong tribe of the Xiong tribe should be defeated. However, Lord Dahong and the others failed to meet with us as planned, so the battle of the massacre department may be difficult."
Xuanyuan took a deep breath and said, "I am not worried about the manpower problem. I am afraid that Dahong, Zilong and others will make mistakes."
Baizi bowed and said, "Sir, don't worry. Let's arrange to inquire about the news from the Xiong Department. It is estimated that the specific information will be received within a few days."
Xuanyuan returned the gift and thanked him: "Then I'll be in trouble!"
When the coalition forces arrived, the Tushiro had already discovered that before the coalition forces launched an attack, Duan Xiu also sent an order to wait and see if the reinforcements from the Miao and Zou troops arrived, they would take the initiative to launch an attack.
However, Xuanyuan did not seem to want to give the Tushiro headquarters too much time. The second day after the army gathered, accompanied by the intensive sound of war drums, the coalition forces began to attack the Tushiro headquarters.
The vast coalition soldiers were divided into eight formations according to Chang Xian's request, with four formations in front and behind.
In the four formations in front, the weapons of the single-row warriors were all spears, and the double-row warriors were all holding short-soldiers and shields;
The four formations in the rear were all short soldiers around the two circles, and the archers were surrounded by several drummers.
Behind each square array, dozens of chariots made based on models provided by Aga. The direction pointed by the wooden man on the chariot behind each square array was different. An umbrella was made from animal skins above the wooden man, and the existence of the wooden man on the chariot could not be seen clearly from above the wall of the slaughter.
At the rear of the camp, he often held the flag in his hand, and several drummers on his left and right beat the war drum rhythmically
"Dong, dong, dong, dong..."
The drummers in the square also conveyed the sound of drums in the camp according to the rhythm of the war drums in the rear.
The soldiers were able to judge the orders issued by the above based on the rhythm of the drum sound, and then took the corresponding offensive according to the established offensive plan.
"Hmph!" Duan Xiu stood above the city wall with his hands on his back, snorting coldly, "I don't know how to live or die! Archers are ready!"
Swish swish swish swish!
Rows of archers on the city wall were neatly lined up in front, arched their bows and arrows, aiming at the front-row coalition soldiers.
At this moment, when I waved the flag in my hand first, the drummers on both sides immediately understood.
"Dongdong, dongdong. dongdong..."
The sound of war drums changed. The soldiers from eight square formations heard the drum sound and combined into a row. The soldiers holding spears stood behind the warrior holding shields in an orderly manner, squatted down, and poked the spears out from the warrior in front.
The soldiers holding the shield gathered left and right to the middle, raised the shields in their hands, and instantly built a series of airtight shield walls.
"Shoot the arrow!" With the command of the deputy general on the city wall of the Tushima, the bows and arrows poured down like rain.
Suddenly, the warriors' shields below were full of bows and arrows, and some of them had gaps, allowing the overwhelming bows and arrows to take advantage of the loopholes. Dozens of warriors fell to the ground by arrows, and the soldiers behind immediately filled the vacant space to prevent their losses from being expanded.
At this moment, the sound of the war drum changed again.
The archers from the four formations in the rear all took the bow and arrows and aimed at the city wall. With the order from the deputy general, the dense bows and arrows flew backwards to the city wall. The second row of archers on the city wall had just changed their positions and were shot down by several people by the sudden flying arrows. Before the arrows in their hands could be shot out, the second round of bows and arrows below flew up again.
The archers on the city wall were suppressed and could not exert their due power. The soldiers in the four formations in front of them accelerated their progress with the suppression of the archers.
Duan Xiu shouted angrily: "The whole army attacks!"
The gate of the Tushima City was wide open, and the men in black flocked out with various weapons in their hands. Several small doors were opened on both sides of the gate at the same time. The small doors were narrow, only enough for two people to go out in parallel, but the number was large. For a moment, the front of the square formation was full of the Tushima soldiers dressed in black.
The coalition soldiers were not afraid at all and continued to advance in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the drum beats.
Duan Xiu was irritable, and the deputy generals below were not much better.
"Kill me!" I don't know which deputy general shouted first. All the men in black waved their weapons like chicken blood, and the roarers rushed towards the coalition's phalanx.
The soldiers in front of them all raised their spears and pointed them at the men in black who rushed up. The men in black seemed to be all desperate, and they plunged into the spear one after another. Those who could avoid the spears were blocked by the soldiers in the back row holding short soldiers and then slashed them on their necks with a shield.
Immediately afterwards, the warriors in the third row bypassed the front two rows and pushed them to the front, repeating this.
In the first round of the attack, hundreds of people were killed and injured by the enemy, and only a few people were injured and injured on the coalition.
The enemy company rushed several times, and except for the continuous increase in casualties, there was no sign of breaking through the coalition formation.
"Hahaha~ Xuanyuan Army seems to have some tricks!" Lian Chui came to Duan Xiu's side and said with a strange smile.
"Hmph!" Duan Xiu said, "The role of waste is to act as cannon fodder! No matter how good the formation is, if it is inconvenient, how much power can it exert?!"
After saying that, a ball of white mist was attached to his body, and then a white robe was breeze-free. Even the goatee on his chin twisted randomly. The temperature of the entire slaughter department suddenly dropped, and a layer of white mist floated on the ground instantly.
The soldiers of the Tushima tribe looked down and saw that the white fog had already passed through their knees. They knew that Duan Xiu's fog array was about to start. With the order of the deputy general, they all quickly retreated to the inside of the tribe.
Chang Xian smiled slightly: "Have you opened the fog array so soon!"
After saying that, waving the flag in his hand, the drummers on both sides followed his instructions to make a dense drum sound, and then played the drum sound that had been rehearsed many times, "dong dong dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong..."
After receiving the order, the soldiers of each phalanx quickly dispersed, divided into several teams, gathered in one place, and the chariots behind were quickly pushed to the designated position. At this time, the thick fog had completely spread out, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in thick fog. Except for the sound of drums, there was basically no figure that could be seen when you looked around.
