Riding and cutting down the imperial bandits of the Three Kingdoms 29. Attacking Kaiyang (4) (Thanks to book friend Xu Fang for the second ten thousand coins
29. Attacking Kaiyang (4) (Thanks to book friend Xu Fang for the second ten thousand coins
Several formations are a dense battle formation, concentrating strength and focusing on offense.
In the Xuanxiang Formation, the distance between the formations is very large, there are many flags, and the sound of drums is endless, which is somewhat confusing, making it difficult for the enemy to judge the number of troops, their elites, and the main direction of attack.
Such a sudden and drastic change in formation before a battle occurs, and if the adjustments are to be orderly, there are certain requirements for the ability and quality of the generals and soldiers.
Seeing the officers and soldiers changing their positions on the spot, Wang Zheng, who was always paying attention to the situation from a distance, was startled at first, and the next scene made his eyes leak with approval.
Seeing that the Kaiyang Army was a little messy in the process of changing formations, but it was still in order in a short period of time, Wang Zheng nodded secretly.
not bad.
Since the uprising, we have encountered many opponents, but strictly speaking, except for the regular Cao army that banned Niu Gai, whether it is the city defense army or the original Taiping army, there is no army that can show such quality and discipline.
, before there were only Li Jiayuan’s Linzi soldiers.
Secondly, there is the Kaiyang Army.
Glancing at the young general opposite, Wang Zhengsi thought: "Is this the commander-in-chief of the army?"
He looks young and seems to have some abilities.
If these words were said out loud and reached other people's ears, they would inevitably arouse ridicule. You, Wang Zheng, are such a arrogant person that you have the nerve to despise others for their young age?
But Wang Zheng’s guess was indeed good.
Wang Ling's ability to be the highest military officer in a county of Langya Kingdom at the age of only thirty years is indeed not just due to his status as a descendant of the Wang family.
After all, to put it bluntly, it is just a sideline after all.
In addition to being arrogant and arrogant, he is indeed a leader among the younger generation in Xuzhou today in terms of military management and military strategy.
.....
Under Wang Ling Youdu's command, Kaiyang's five thousand soldiers had adjusted their pace and once again assumed a posture to face the enemy.
The seven square formations continued to press towards the opposite Heavenly Army with a slow but simultaneous momentum.
Two miles away...
A stone's throw away...
When the distance is less than a hundred steps...
Five hundred archers who had been prepared for a long time flashed out from the gaps between the formations, rushed forward, bent down and nocked arrows.
The divine sword sings, this battle will be won!
I kept repeating this sentence in my mind, as if this would dispel the underlying uneasiness caused by the bandit's strange reaction.
Looking at the thieves in the front row who had raised their shields, Wang Zheng drew out his sword and shouted:
"Kill the thief with a drop shot!"
At the general's command, the archers all raised their heads to the sky and shot.
Soon, arrows like locusts were seen.
In an instant, it pierced the sky, like rain pouring down.
The effect is also immediate.
When Wang Zheng heard the muffled sound of "Puff", more than a dozen Tiangang soldiers either groaned or screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
In particular, one of the arrows let out a sharp roar, and struck Wang Zheng on the head with great speed...
Damn, it couldn’t have been intentional, right?
Wang Zheng, who was startled, looked calm on the surface. He drew out his long knife without blinking an eye, flicked the arrow away with a casual flick, and then immediately raked the arrow with his eyes like a knife, looking for the owner of the arrow.
These sharpshooters, who can pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps, must kill them quickly!
After searching for a while to no avail, he looked around with some disappointment and frowned.
Although the damage caused by such a falling shot was not great, it also made the shields of the Heavenly Army in the front row useless, and they all fell directly on his own head, which made Wang Zheng feel a little annoyed.
I was made to think "not fully" again...
He raised his eyebrows, but didn't say a word, just a cold snort.
Under the awe-inspiring murderous intent, the Tiangang Army immediately knew their general's intentions without even needing to be notified by the system.
Immediately, hundreds of people rushed out from all directions, forming a formation in an instant, stretching their arms and stretching their bows!
Are you the only one with an archer?
Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Wang Ling from a distance, showing a dangerous look.
Then he waved his hand violently.
"shoot!"
With a loud shout, hundreds of bowstrings that had been tightened were pulled apart almost at the same time.
It roared like thunder and suddenly sounded!
But he immediately responded to Kaiyang's army.
...
With the 70,000 experience brought by Xu Fang and the larger base of the Tiangang Army, many soldiers with certain talent and experience in crossbows have been selected. After arriving at Moutai, Wang Zheng thought about it and
Decided to set up a long-range unit in his own army.
The total number is currently only more than 200, and they are currently distributed in Wang Zheng and Wu Sheng.
And these hundred archers are the third second-level unit in the royal army at this moment.
Although they were far inferior in number to the official army, the damage caused by this round of laser shooting by the second-level shooters was even greater.
Not only because of the strength of the second-level soldiers, but also their shooting skills were far superior to those of the ordinary people in Kaiyang opposite.
This is especially because Wang Ling led the army to defeat the thieves this time. He was arrogant and only thought of victory. He only considered attack and was not fully prepared for defense such as shields.
So I immediately felt the pain.
...
Hundreds of arrows were like lightning, sweeping towards them and instantly piercing through the defense line of Kaiyang Army!
Many people fell down in response, and countless screams and blood splattered.
There were not a few Kaiyang soldiers who were shot in the arms and thighs, resulting in serious injuries, and dozens of unlucky ones were shot directly through the neck.
The power of one round of shooting is already astonishing.
In fact, more than a hundred people in the front row were defeated directly.
this...
Seeing such battle damage, Wang Ling, his soldiers and others looked at each other in disbelief.
How could there be so many people who are good at shooting among a group of refugee yellow turban thieves?
When I was lost, the second wave of arrows arrived again!
This time, hundreds of Qingzhou bowmen walked to the front row of the array. The closer the distance, the penetrating power and accuracy of the arrows became even more amazing!
Under another massacre, blood flowed freely, and even the few hundred shield soldiers of Kaiyang Army were penetrated by arrows.
Nearly forty people were injured again!
...
Because of the gap in the preparedness of each other's shields, Kaiyang's army could only shoot down, but the thieves could fire unscrupulously.
The key is that although the thieves don't have as many archers, their archery skills are obviously better than their own...
Wang Ling's original idea was to rely on the superiority of the number of archers to shoot down the bandits from a distance. Although the lethality of the shooting was not high, it was indeed intimidating enough. According to his idea, the refugee bandits would naturally be panicked when faced with such a situation.
The queue will collapse, or in worst case, they will flee without fighting.
At this time, he could lead the army to take advantage of the situation and kill them, which would have the final say.
It turned out that it had only been a short time since the battle, and it was not clear how many people on the other side were dead, but there were already more than 200 casualties on our side...
Such an obvious contrast forced Wang Ling to accept the fact that he was completely at a disadvantage in long-range attacks, and had to give up his previous strategy.
This can't go on like this!
If this is the case, then the whole army will attack!
Five thousand people fight against one thousand people, and the army fights against thieves. If you pay a little more damage, you can still annihilate them all!
Under Wang Ling's order, the archers also chose to fire two rounds this time to cover the charge of their own troops.
At the same time, six infantry troops were advancing rapidly in neat formation.
At this time, a thousand heavenly troops were approaching at Wang Zheng's signal!
Even the archers did not retreat, they directly put down their bows and arrows and replaced them with spears.
Facing enemies many times their own, the heavenly army marched forward without fear.
Wang Ling was in the center, and he and his guards were observing the situation. With constant orders, the center and rear of the phalanx gradually expanded into formation, and the two wings slowly opened up, forming an encirclement.
Encouraged by their own commanders, everyone let out loud killing cries to strengthen the army's power.
On the side of the Heavenly Army, Wang Zheng said nothing. After setting up the formation, there was no change. Thousands of people were as silent as rocks and mountains, and they just kept moving forward.
The distance has reached dozens of steps...
A collision was imminent, a fight was imminent, and the soldiers on both sides could even see each other's expressions and eyes clearly.
One side is excited, confident, and even more eager for blood and military exploits.
The other side is also convinced that they will win, because under the leadership of General Tiangong, they have not lost yet!
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
Almost at the same time, loud shouts erupted from both places at the same time, and even the slogans were surprisingly consistent.
Immediately, it was like a torrent of mud and rocks, or like a river bursting its banks.
