263 Danyang Army Turtle Formation!(1/2)
Dajiang, on a tall building boat.
King Xiang Wu of Chu looked happy.
More than a dozen generals of the Chu army who were watching the battle were all happy and applauded and shouted.
General Li Pan led 50,000 troops across the river successfully, and had surrounded Xiaohunhou's six thousand Danyang troops from three sides.
On each side, there were 10,000 infantrymen forming a strong flesh shield.
There are also ten thousand light cavalry.
It is impossible for Xiaohunhou to escape from the heavens and escape back to Danyang City!
"This battle will undoubtedly win!"
"We just need to sit on this building boat and see how General Li Pan can destroy Xiaohunhou!"
King Xiang Wu of Chu laughed.
...
Li Pan led an army of 50,000 infantry and cavalry to easily surround the 6,000 Danyang soldiers on the bank of the river.
He is also a veteran with rich experience.
There is a circle of tall wooden horse-resisting horses outside the Danyang soldiers, which is a small wall that can be broken into people.
There are also gunpowder guns and small steel cannons with long range and powerful range. This is a "micro camp" with both offense and defense.
Moreover, everyone in Danyang soldiers were wearing steel armor, and they were a group of heavy infantry soldiers. The bows and arrows could not hurt them at all, and their defense was simply perverted.
There are still some difficulties in attacking.
It will definitely die.
Moreover, I am afraid that thousands or tens of thousands of troops will be able to capture it.
He was ready to sacrifice ten thousand miscellaneous soldiers.
"Ten thousand shield soldiers are in front, holding up their shields to resist the shooting of the gunpowder gun!"
"Ten thousand spear soldiers and ten thousand sword soldiers are behind, divided into three waves of attacks, and they will cross over the horse with all their strength, rush in, break up the Danyang soldiers and disrupt them!"
"The Chu army will win!"
Li Pan shouted.
He used 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers, preparing to consume the physical strength of the Danyang soldiers and watch the flaws of the Danyang soldiers.
It doesn’t matter if these miscellaneous soldiers die, just go back and recruit them.
After 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers died, the Danyang Army was probably exhausted.
He still had 10,000 elite light cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry left in his hands, but he did not dispatch it.
The elite infantry, as the generals, forced the miscellaneous troops to charge.
When many miscellaneous soldiers died and the Danyang soldiers were exhausted and they could hardly be killed, these elite infantry soldiers who were raising their strength would rush forward and give Danyang soldiers a fatal blow.
The elite light cavalry is responsible for plundering the formation and after the enemy fled, they are responsible for chasing them.
Of course, the real main forces of these two Chu troops will not easily be consumed by the battlefield.
...
Danyang Army.
It has completely contracted into a "turtle formation" with extremely strong defense, less than one mile long and wide, and is enemies from all sides.
Inside the array.
In the army, Chu Tianxiu wore a steel helmet and was wearing a full pair of steel armor in order to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows.
It's too heavy, and it weighs dozens of kilograms in one set. After standing for a long time, he can't stand steadily.
He had no choice but to sit in a carriage and command the battle.
The soldiers of Danyang were very nervous.
This is the largest war they have fought since they became soldiers.
I had fought a battle in Danyang City before, and was protected by tall walls, and repelled the 10,000 vanguards of the Wu army. The battle was very easy and I didn't feel that it was very difficult.
Now on the flat ground, there are only low horses to protect them.
Surrounded by a group of 50,000 Chu troops, there were still 50,000 Chu troops watching the battle on the river.
If you can't beat them in this battle, you will be dead!
But if this battle is won, of course, the Danyang elite soldiers will definitely be famous all over the world and become one of the few famous soldiers in the world.
Chu Tianxiu was not in a hurry to ask Li Yu to lead his army to support him.
He wants to train troops.
Use these 100,000 Chu troops to train this Danyang army.
It is not only about practicing combat experience, but also about developing courage.
Even if you are surrounded by ten times the enemy, you can still be in chaos. This is courage.
With courage and courage, the Danyang soldiers are the real fearless elite soldiers, full of confidence and can walk sideways on the battlefield.
"Everyone has put the gunpowder gun in a steady state and has not entered fifty steps. Don't shoot! There are 4,000 gunpowder guns, divided into four waves of shooting, don't mess up."
Chu Tianxiu shouted.
"Li Gannian, you are responsible for one hundred small steel cannons, without volleys. Give them a team, and every ten cannons will be scattered, ensuring that they will not be interrupted.
The enemy attacks the tightest direction and the most densely packed troops, bombard them wherever they are, and interrupt their momentum! You must be careful to master the opportunity, leave enough artillery fire in your hands, and think more about how to use small steel cannons."
"yes!"
Li Gannian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
Small steel cannon, scattered in ten waves?
He followed his son-in-law and learned the new scattering method of the little steel cannon.
...
The Chu army's 10,000 sword and shield soldiers pressed towards the Danyang army with rumbling footsteps. Following them were 20,000 spears and sword soldiers.
One hundred steps!
Seventy steps!
Fifty steps!
"First team, open fire!"
Chu Tianxiu shouted.
A thousand gunpowder gunmen opened fire immediately.
The formation of the Chu army was too dense, and they squeezed over at the same time, and the distance was close, so they were almost certain to shoot.
The so-called "shield" soldiers are actually wooden shields in their hands, which roughly block the upper body.
It is impossible to use iron. The State of Chu did not have so much iron to create a large number of iron shields. Iron was used to create swords.
These wooden shields are designed to prevent arrows and are used to prevent knife-cutting, mainly lightweight.
The penetration power of the arrow is not very strong, and it can be blocked with a wooden shield.
Of course, these wooden shields are not too thick, just enough to be shields. Otherwise, the soldiers would not be able to lift them up and would not be able to carry them to fight.
However, the power of gunpowder projectiles is four or five times higher than that of arrows. This means that these shields used to defend arrows cannot stop gunpowder projectiles at all.
Bang!
Click!
In an instant, a large number of weak wooden shields were pierced and broken by iron balls.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, hundreds of sword and shield soldiers widened their eyes and fell down in pieces.
Those living sword and shield soldiers were shocked when they saw their accomplices falling down and looked at each other.
They held up their shields and were shot through by gunpowder guns?
General Li Pan was also surprised to see him from a distance.
The power of the gunpowder gun is much more terrifying than expected, and even the sword and shield soldiers cannot resist it.
There is no other way.
Only rush!
Fight desperately!
Use human lives to block the hole of the gunpowder gun!
