Chapter 51: Meeting people on a narrow road
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."
A dozen big drums mounted on the carriage were beaten together. Among the strong men who beat the drum, there were the Hebei Marshal of the Marshal of the Marshal of the King of Yun and Zhao Kai!
OK, the great prince of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai, who almost won the top scorer, has now revealed his true colors!
Now Zhao Kai has gone to the armor and robe. In the cold weather, he wore a pair of pairs without sleeves. His two thick and strong arms were exposed outside. If he walked in and took a look, he could still see the chest hair exposed from the neckline of the pair, and his beard was full of beards. This image was not a gentle Song Dynasty scholar (in fact, most of the officials in the Song Dynasty had big beards, and the eunuchs were just a little white face). Zhang Fei, who was charging into the battle, almost carrying a snake spear, went barely in battle!
In front of Zhao Kai, the bearded prince of Yun, was a cavalry formation composed of two thousand-man infantry phalanxes and a seven or eight hundred cavalry.
The two infantry phalanxes were all hand-to-hand combat soldiers, everyone was wearing full set of infantry armor, with three spears in the front row, and long axes and swords in the back row. Each person had a side sign hanging on his left hand (a small shield, usually used by cavalry).
The cavalry formation was personally led by Han Shizhong. The mission supervised the battle between the two infantry phalanxes, and was also preparing to counterattack when the ever-winning army launched a cavalry attack.
While these three infantry and cavalry were preparing to launch an attack, thousands of divine armed archers had already divided into two formations. Under the command of He Guan and Wang Yuan, they were protected by the cavalry and approached a distance of hundreds of steps away from the Jin soldiers' chariot formation. They began to fire crossbow arrows at the Jin soldiers' chariot formation one by one!
The distance of a hundred steps is not far, nor is it close. It is just outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows (not that kind of particularly awesome shooters), but the crossbow arrows shot from the Divine Arm Bow still have a certain lethality. It is unlikely to shoot through iron armor and large slabs, but there is still a certain probability that they can pass through the gap between two large slabs and then shoot through leather armor with insufficient defense.
The equipment of the Eternal Victory Army in Guo's headquarters is relatively good. Almost everyone has a piece of iron armor to protect the body. Some people can also wear two pairs of iron armor, one pair of chain armor, and one pair of zipper armor, so they are not afraid of the Song army's divine arm bow.
But the Haner Army on Nanjing Road was no longer able to do it. It only had a ragged leather armor to protect the body. Facing the Song army's divine arm bow, he could only shrink back to the Daling. However, Guo Yaoshi and the soldiers led by Liu Yanzong did not carry much Daling. This time, the Jin soldiers went south with light clothes and could not carry a lot of heavy equipment. So now the Daling behind the chariot array is very sparse, and arrows shot from the divine arm bow are constantly passing through the two Dalings. The generals of the Haner Army, who were held in front of the old soldiers of the Eternal Victory Army, were shot as meat shields, were shot over and were quickly overturned!
Screams and curses immediately sounded. There were also many generals from the Haner Army in Nanjing who wanted to escape, but were caught by the ancestor of the Changsheng Army who was supervising the battle behind and dragged them to Guo Yaoshi, Guo Tiannu and his daughter.
Pharmacist Guo didn't even look at them, but Guo Tiannu said with a cold face: "I've killed them all!"
The old soldiers of the ever-winning army responded when they received the order, and then drew their swords and cut their heads without hesitation!
More than a dozen heads were cut off like this, and they were picked with a spear, which was shocking to the front of the formation!
Intimidated by more than a dozen bloody heads, the generals of the Han army could only bite the bullet and get crossbow arrows... Fortunately, there were no infinite crossbow arrows on the Song army, and the divine arm archers did not have infinite physical strength.
After thousands of Divine Arm Bows shot out four or five thousand crossbow arrows, the archers had to take a breath. If they wanted them to play, they would have to pay more!
In history, when Zhong Shizhong led his troops to break the Taiyuan siege, he did not bring any money and goods to buy, so he fought halfway through the crossbowmen, and ended up suffering a crushing defeat...
When the archers of the divine arm stopped shooting arrows and began to accumulate their energy to prepare for the next battle, the two infantry thousand-man phalanx commanded by He Yu and Liu Qi began to launch!
You can't let these people wait too long, otherwise your courage will pass... Most of them are not professional melee soldiers, but archers and crossbowmen. Although their explosive power is not small, they lack durability, and they are not proficient in fighting skills, and they will not charge in the formation of armor. They just rely on the courage to inspire them with heavy rewards!
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief..."
With Liu Qi and He Yu taking the lead and shouting, the two thousand people suddenly started to shout, and the climax came up!
The shouting sounds shake the sky and the earth!
Two thousand tigers, like two thousand moving iron towers, rolled forward and rumbling.
When Guo Yaoshi saw the Song army's hand-to-hand combat soldiers coming up, he hurriedly ordered the general Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen each led two thousand-person teams to form two square formations behind the chariot formation. Nanjing Han'er soldiers held long spears in front, and Changsheng's army held long swords, big axes, and hammers in the back to press the formation - Guo Yaoshi is worthy of being a general who has fought for a long time, and he can see the reality of these Song army's infantry armor at a glance, and know that their greatest power is the rush!
Therefore, the unlucky Liu family army (Nanjing Han'er Army) had to be used as a meat shield to block the long spear of the Song people.
In addition, Guo Yaoshi also mobilized a thousand veterans from the ever-winning army to shoot feather arrows behind his two square arrays with bows and arrows, and shot feather arrows at the approaching Song army soldiers step by step.
All the two thousand armored scholars of the Song army were wearing heavy armor. Even if they were shot with heavy arrows with armor, they would not cause too much casualties.
However, the circle of chariots set up by Pharmacist Guo was a troublesome. The soldiers could not jump over. The dozens of kilograms of armor were put on their bodies and could not jump! They had to go forward and chop and pull the car away. There were also a small number of divine arm bows in the Changsheng Army (they were also Song Army!), and at this time they began to exert force. At the Song Army holding long axes, they shot a lot and immediately shot a lot.
The remaining long axe soldiers wanted to retreat, but saw He Yu and Liu Qi taking the sword and axe hands to the front line to supervise the battle, so they had to bite the bullet and turn back and continue working.
He Guan and Wang Yuan also tuned some divine arm archers with good shooting skills to come forward and fire crossbow arrows to suppress the crossbowmen of the Changsheng Army.
The arrows from both sides were coming and going in the air, and from time to time, someone was caught in arrows and screaming and overturned to the ground.
Not long after, the car array was still split, but it was not too big. Not only could it not tolerate two thousand-person square formations attack together, but it could not even squeeze into one square formation.
However, Liu Qi still issued an order to attack his subordinates!
Because he saw the Jin thieves' infantry and spearmen (Nanjing Han'er Army) gathering in the gap from a distance, it would be even more difficult to break through if they didn't rush!
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill..."
As a rapid drum (small drum) sounded, the sound of the soldiers shouting was shaking the earth, and thousands of children rushed forward, everyone was rushing to the forefront!
Zhao Kai was so nervous that he even forgot to beat the drum. He just held his breath, stretched his neck to look forward.
Looking from the position he was standing, he saw that thousands of warriors in iron helmets and armor were already crowded together, forming an iron stream that bravely moved forward. The rows of spears in front of the iron stream had been flattened, and the tips of the iron spears emitted a creeping cold light under the sunlight!
On the other side of them was a crescent shape formed by countless shining spear tips, which also whistled forward.
This is the brave one who meets on a narrow road!
The soldiers holding spears on both sides collided in a blink of an eye! Some people were pierced by the spear and screamed in despair! Some people were overthrown by the spear, making hoarse calls for help, while more people shouted loudly and then squeezed forward with all their strength... That's right, it's just squeeze! It's not because the 4,000 people on both sides are now crowded together at a relatively narrow breakthrough and cannot rush up at all.
Chapter completed!
