Chapter 154: The New Army of the Zhi Family Shows Its Prestige
After receiving the order, the Zhishi troops immediately advanced without any hesitation. They would only launch a charge within a hundred meters of the enemy.
This is a natural option. If you are really five or six hundred meters away from the enemy, you will be in a charging posture. It will take a lot of physical strength to charge forward and kill someone.
After hearing the order of "all troops to attack", the officers of Wei's troops looked towards the direction of the chariot, waiting for the flag over there to signal the advance.
From here we can also see the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Period. The soldiers of each family only obeyed the orders of the family, and it was difficult for them to be overstepped as battlefield commanders.
However, Wei Ju was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
Why did Young Master Lu come in a rage and yell at Zhiyao in front of the battle?
Wei Ju also couldn't figure out why Zhiyao shot Gongzi Lu, and issued an order for the entire army to attack.
"Your Majesty!" Uncle Jian waited for a few breaths, and when he saw Wei Ju still looking dumbfounded, he said eagerly: "There is no delay!"
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Zhi Yao has already charged. At the same time, all the Zhi family's troops are advancing. As Zhi Yao's subordinate and Zhi family's ally, the Wei family has not moved. Not only is he disobeying orders, but he will also lose his responsibility as an ally.
Wei Ju came to his senses and said hoarsely: "Attack!"
Banner issued the order, and Wei's troops, who had been waiting for about fifty breaths, were considered to have advanced.
At this moment, Wei Ju has too much confusion, but he only understands that this is the best chance to defeat the enemy.
"What did Zhiyao do to anger Young Master Lu?" Wei Ju was still thinking when he got out of the car to fight.
On the side of the coalition forces, seeing that Gongzi Lu was shot down without any resistance at all, they honestly did not feel that Zhiyao was cheating or anything.
The original thing, in the view of the coalition forces, was that Gongzi Lu first initiated the invitation to the master. It was fair and just to invite the master. There is no unfairness in who loses and who wins. Some people are just inferior to others in skills. And when they were invited to the master, they were killed.
, there has never been anything controversial.
So, is it surprising that Zhiyao shot Gongzi Lu to death, or that Gongzi Lu killed Zhiyao?
However, the confused person still had a confused look on his face, and then he saw the Jin army launching an attack, and he was immediately at a loss as to what to do!
Dou Huai looked flustered, knowing very well that he could be upset, but the army could never be in chaos, and he kept shouting: "Form up, form up!"
No matter how loud a person's voice is, it is ultimately limited. Dou Huai is just a soldier who can try to stabilize the range of his voice.
Waiting for Dou Huai to realize that it was useless, Xin Yiheng ordered: "Fight, fight!"
Military orders that are too complex cannot be issued with trumpets, drums or flags, but military orders such as "advance" are sufficient.
The Chu army moved, but after they moved, they lost coordination. Some people ran wildly from the beginning, while more people just advanced slowly.
When Liu Yang saw the Chu army advancing, he suddenly showed a "fucked dog" expression.
Look at the Jin army on the opposite side. Although they are advancing at a high speed, their formation shows no tendency to become disordered at all.
Let's look at the Chu army that was ordered to advance. The formation itself was not orderly. After advancing, there was no need to mention the orderliness of the formation.
Liu Yang has been a Jin person for most of his life, how could he not have enough understanding of the Jin army, and at the same time he is not unfamiliar with what the Chu army looks like.
What is the situation now? The commander-in-chief of the Chu army was shot over in front of the formation. Not only did the Chu army lose its commander, but the morale of the army was also hit.
Of course, not every Chu soldier will fall into panic because of the death of Young Master Lu. To some extent, some Chu soldiers will enter a state of sadness and anger.
So, after the Chu army started to advance, they could not move forward more than a hundred meters, and their originally loose formation was completely messed up.
The two sides approached each other at a distance of about a hundred steps. The Jin army fired a large number of arrows, while the Chu army only fired a few arrows.
Arrows from both armies fell, and most of them were actually missed. Arrows that hit people may not necessarily kill the target on the spot.
For example, for Zhi soldiers wearing paper armor, the arrows hit the armor, but the arrowheads did not penetrate the armor, so they could continue to charge with arrows stuck in their bodies.
On the Chu army's side, there were some people wearing wooden armor, rattan armor or leather armor, and a considerable number of them fell down without being hit by arrows.
Arrows, right? As long as they don't hit vital points, such as the head, neck, or heart, they are actually causing injuries. An arrow in the torso will most likely lead to death due to excessive blood loss when the wound is processed later. An arrow in the limbs will not hit an artery.
It is easier to handle.
The Zhishi crossbowmen shoot evil gold arrowheads, and because they are not carefully maintained, many of the arrowheads are actually in a rusty state.
Rusty evil gold? As long as it hits and breaks the skin, there will be a lot of trouble afterwards, and the wound will inevitably become inflamed and pus.
In this era when medical skills have not been fully developed, illnesses cannot be treated well, and there is no disinfection in dealing with trauma. That is, people have to survive illness or injury, and if they cannot survive it, they will lose their lives.
Therefore, even if the Chu soldiers who were hit by the evil golden arrows were not killed today, their successors would most likely suffer from various inflammations.
In fact, Zhiyao was not ruthless enough. Otherwise, soaking it in feces and urine before using it would be a primitive version of germ warfare.
On Zhishi's side, due to the arrangement of the array, the sword and shield soldiers were running at the front. When they were about fifty meters away from the enemy, the officer repeated the order. The sword and shield soldiers in front stopped, and the sword and shield soldiers behind them stopped.
The soldiers followed and then began to organize their formation.
One after another, the sword and shield soldiers stood about 20 centimeters apart from each other. They blocked the shield in front of them, and the long-handled machete was stuck on the ground with its bottom and tilted forward.
The sword and shield soldiers formed a military formation extremely quickly, which only shows that the results of their usual training have been reflected.
Then, the spearmen followed. They stood in the back row of the sword and shield soldiers, and thrust their spears through the gap between the sword and shield soldiers. In a moment, a forest of spears appeared.
The rest of the troops that followed included sword and shield soldiers, spear and shield soldiers, spear soldiers and spear and ax soldiers; among them, the sword and shield soldiers, spear and shield soldiers, and spear soldiers, in addition to increasing the thickness of the army formation, moved towards the two wings.
Extending out; it is not easy for heavily armored troops like the Lancers and Axemen to run fast, otherwise they should actually be at the front, and are currently forming an independent column.
Archers? Or add crossbowmen? Of course the Zhi family has these two arms, but most of the time other arms make temporary guest appearances, and the number of professional crossbowmen is smaller.
When the various arms organized military formations, the number of arrows fired by Zhishi's side was greatly reduced, until they stopped shooting completely.
The Chu army did not stop shooting arrows. The arrows they shot fell in the formation of Zhishi's troops, which did not cause any confusion in the formation of Zhishi's troops.
That's when the arrows fall, some are blocked by the shield, and some hits, no matter whether the defense is broken or not, if someone falls down beside them, the empty space will be filled immediately.
Because Zhishi has been promoting the popularization of paper armor, the death rate caused by Chu army's arrows to Zhishi was actually not high.
The fact is that as long as the armor rate increases, the results achieved by archers will inevitably decrease.
For example, in some film and television works, everyone is obviously wearing armor, or it is a metal-pierced armor style, and a large piece of it is covered by arrows and falls down, or the arrow hits the armor but kills it with one hit, which is completely
It's making trouble!
What is the real situation? People wearing armor are shot until their armor is filled with arrows and they can still fight endlessly. The reason is that they may be injured but it will not be fatal immediately, and they can persist until the blood loss is severe before they fall.
Especially for some generals, their armor is more sophisticated. Unless the arrow missed hits the armor, otherwise it is a question whether it can penetrate the armor. Therefore, there are many generals who are shot like hedgehogs.
, there are historical records that they can also bravely kill the enemy continuously.
What really caused chaos to Zhishi's military formation was the charging Chu army chariots. Some of the Chu army chariots were targeted by a hail of arrows midway through the charge. Whether the crew members were dead or not, the horses or oxen that pulled the chariots could not be said.
Unable to withstand the rain of arrows, he ran and died.
Zhiyao and other chariot troops. As the commander, Zhi Yao is already at the core of the military formation, while the rest of the chariot troops are swimming and waiting on the left and right sides of the rear.
While Zhishi's troops were forming a military formation, some fast Chu soldiers were already coming up. If they continued to charge, they would run into Zhishi's military formation and would either be pierced by spears or hacked to death by sword and shield soldiers.
A considerable number of Chu soldiers rushed to kill them too quickly, giving enough warning to the Chu soldiers behind them, causing some of the Chu soldiers who were running fast to stop where they were. They were either knocked to the ground by the following Paoze, or were trapped.
Just keep pushing forward.
A massive collision occurred between the enemy and ourselves, and a large number of Chu soldiers fell in front of Zhishi's military formation.
Liu Yang, who was hesitating whether to let Fan's troops advance, was shocked.
"Although the Chu army's morale was shaken, when did the Zhi family become so capable of fighting?" Liu Yang did not know that the Zhi family had trained new troops.
Now, the Fan family is facing a difficult choice. Going forward may not be of much use, and it may be a waste of money. If you don't join the attack, you may be able to reduce losses now, but you will have to face the wrath of Chu next.
When Liu Yang was about to order his troops to attack, he heard bursts of roars coming from the front.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
"drive!!!"
This is when Zhiyao saw that the Chu army was defeated, and at the same time the Wei troops in the rear followed up, and ordered the troops to move forward.
It can be seen that there is already a wall of corpses in front of the Zhishi army. They need to step on the corpses of Chu soldiers to move forward.
At the same time, the Zhishi chariots on the left and right wings cruised by and then charged directly in from the middle of the Chu army.
Seeing that Liu Yang had no chance of recovery, he swallowed back the attack order he was about to issue and looked towards Dou Huai.
Regardless of Dou Huai's military qualities, he is definitely not an uneducated person. How could he not see that this battle was doomed to fail?
but!
but!
but!
First, Gongzi Lu was shot down when he was marching to the army, and then the Chu army could not defeat the Jin army. What could Dou Huai do?
The State of Chu has an old tradition of killing generals after a defeated army. The dead young master Lu cannot be killed again, and only Dou Huai bears the responsibility for the defeat.
No matter what happened, Dou Huai knew that he was dead. He waved his sword with a twisted look on his face and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Liu Yang was completely devastated when he saw that scene!
