The main formation of the second unit of the Lujiang Army Corps was arranged in a horizontal formation, with more than 2,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers spread out one to two hundred paces wide. There was also a horizontal formation of the county guards on the rear right side. There were thousands of people in both divisions.
It occupies a large battlefield area.
Wang Feixiao's troops from behind also came over, but they still did not crowd in. Wang Feixiao may have seen that the Lujiang army's array was a little thin, so he left some infantry and cavalry behind to make preparations, and then most of them continued to march in a circuitous way to the west.
Wenqin's cavalry and Bingtun cavalry retreated to both wings. The enemy's regular infantry and cavalry followed, killing the general from the front!
The infantry of the military camps are in front, waiting in formation. At the front are six comprehensive crossbow brigades, a total of twelve villages. Qi Da is the commander of one of the villages, located on the right, and they are at the very end.
Front.
There were a total of fifty-one people in the camp, divided into six rows. Everyone had already cocked their arrows and looked at the enemy soldiers in front with wide eyes, all looking nervous.
Although these soldiers are stationed troops, many of them have fought in battles and been in battle, but they have not been regarded as the main force. Qi Da, who is an official, is more inexperienced than his soldiers because it is his first time to go to the battlefield! Before
He was just a villager who didn't have enough to eat. He was able to become the commander of the army. It was probably because the army was short of low-level generals. He knew a little bit about reading, and he was tall and easily picked.
Qi Da didn't know what would happen, so he could only stand there and watch the front with his brothers.
Fortunately, the above step will shout: "Get ready for shooting!"
After hearing this command countless times, the soldiers almost didn't need to think about anything, and they all took their postures. The people in the first three rows squatted and knelt, and stood with their crossbows raised. "Let go!" After a shout, they took a hundred steps.
Arrows suddenly flew across the wide front, and dense crossbow bolts flew straight out.
I'm afraid many people forgot to aim, but when such dense crossbow arrows flew past, dozens of steps away were filled with people. Sure enough, many enemy soldiers were seen falling, and the people's shouts became even louder.
Qi Da came to his senses and shouted: "Change teams forward and backward!"
His words were very effective. Everyone was accustomed to listening to him and got along well with him. The first three rows of crossbowmen retreated, and the last three rows of loaded crossbowmen stepped forward. After a while, the general shouted again:
"Get ready to shoot!"
The soldiers who had returned were busy re-winding the crossbow. Qi Da saw with his own eyes that a soldier named Zhang next to him had trembling hands. He stepped on the crossbow for a long time, but he didn't step on the crossbow!
The dense sound of "crackling" strings was heard again in front, and there were still many people in the back row who had not loaded their arrows. At this time, the sound of horse hooves in the distance suddenly became louder, and a group of enemy cavalry passed over the infantry and rushed over.
Already.
The voice of the general in the middle part said: "Take two wings and switch to flying guns!"
Qi Da waved to everyone: "Follow the team next to you and leave."
Everyone hurriedly took the crossbows, turned to the right and walked quickly. Some people skillfully put the crossbows into their backpacks and took off the flying guns on their backs. But some people couldn't even do simple things well at this time, and even gave up the crossbows.
Lost it and completely forgot the movements and techniques during training.
Qi Da and others came to the right wing and arranged in sparse formations. The formation was a little chaotic, but during normal training, this kind of formation change was very neat. Qi Da took another look and saw the teenage boy named Zhang.
, then he pulled him back and asked him to stand where he should.
The crossbowmen of the two camps in front changed their flying guns, and under the shouts of the generals, they were throwing to the front on the right wing. Before Qi Da and others had their turn, the cavalry on the right wing of their own had killed them, and they could only hear the sound of horse hooves.
There were roars and shouts.
The surroundings were filled with dust, and there were crowds of people, swords and guns, and cavalry on horseback bumping up and down.
A hundred men not far away shouted: "Qi Da, tell your people to change their swords and shields!"
Qi Dafeng looked around and shouted: "Change the sword and shield!"
Everyone put away the flying spears that had not been thrown, took off the wooden shields on their backs, and pulled out the Huanshou sword.
Sure enough, the enemy infantry arrived after a while. Qi Da stared and shouted: "I ate the grain of Qin Commandery, and I will pay with my life today!" All the troops seemed to be inspired, not even the people in this group.
The voice shouted: "Kill!"
The enemy soldiers with spears arrived, and the column broke through the sword and shield soldiers in front of them in a short time, stabbing directly | killing a soldier in front of Qi Da. Qi Da was furious, rushed forward regardless of his life, and swung
The Huanshou sword was used to chop at random. The enemy soldier threw away his spear and pulled out the Huanshou sword.
Qi Da directly pressed the wooden shield down, and when he heard a "clang" sound on the shield, he didn't care so much, as if he was practicing martial arts, he pressed the shield hard on the lower side, and waved the sword with his right hand to greet the person holding it.
.
The enemy soldier hurriedly retreated, glanced at Qi Da who was desperate for his life with an incredulous look, suddenly raised his head and shouted "Ah", and a soldier of King Qin behind him stabbed him with a ring-headed knife.
His lower back.
The brothers around him also quickly followed up and rushed forward beside Qi Da. Some of them didn't have a shield in their hands, but the shield was still on their backs. They actually had a flying spear in one hand and a ring-shou knife in the other.
At this moment, there was a roar of horse hooves, and a group of cavalry came diagonally from the flank! The spear, which was as long as a tree trunk, pressed down, using the power of the horse to charge forward, directly knocking over everything in its path.
The troops were greatly encouraged and continued to advance to kill the chaotic enemy troops. Qi Da spotted an enemy soldier and rushed forward with a knife. He was blocked with a "dang" sound. Qi Da took his shield and smashed it forward, and then struck with his right hand.
It was a knife, attacking from left to right. After a moment, the knife hit the man's collar with a bang, and the shield hit his face, and the man fell backward. Qi Da rushed up, threw the shield, and pointed it at the man with both hands.
The man's chest was violently plucked, and the screams were horrifying. The soldiers beside Qi Da also carried ring-headed knives and slashed at the man randomly. Qi Da was splashed with blood all over his face.
There was a shout from behind, and the infantrymen came up with shining long swords in both hands. They were the halberdiers in the formation, and later they were replaced with long wooden-handled swords. The hundred-man general also greeted: "Qi Da, we can retreat.
, don’t run around.”
Qi Da responded: "Here!"
The two wings were charging back and forth, but the front was not so chaotic. The spearmen did not need any martial arts at all, as long as they were strong enough to lift the extended spears. Three rows of dense spears were in front, and the enemy troops, regardless of whether they were on foot or cavalry, rushed forward.
Just die, there is no escape.
Three rows of spearmen advanced slowly. The spearmen behind them still had their spears erect, as tall as trees. The spear shafts of both sides "crackled" in the middle. The enemy's spears were not so long, and the array was not so dense.
, there is no way at all. Fortunately, their queue is much more flexible, so they have to keep retreating.
At this time, another section of the cavalry arrived holding a black flag, detoured to the left wing, and engaged the enemy's assault cavalry again. The sound of horse hooves and the shouts of killing were deafening.
The garrison cavalry on the right took the opportunity to rush out, charging back and forth on the flanks of the enemy's infantry array, stabbing the infantry with their spears. When the enemy infantry array charged, the spear cavalry would beat their horses and retreat, and there were rangers accompanying them.
Wielding a knife, he came up to cover.
The two sides were fighting inextricably, and only the army formation of more than 2,000 people was not defeated. The infantry in the middle array was slow and steady, and the cavalry and infantry on the two wings rushed back and forth, and they were able to handle the general's command with ease.
The sound of horns was heard in the distance, and the enemy soldiers in the front began to retreat one after another. Wenqin's cavalry once again covered up the enemy, but they did not pursue them deeply, and there were still many infantry and cavalry phalanxes behind the enemy.
The infantry formation on Qida's side did not retreat, but the county guards on the right rear wing were advancing in formation, crossing the front line of the military camp and reaching the front.
...The battle line that meandered across the ground, and as the front continued to unfold, the battle became more and more fierce. A large number of rebel Wang Feixiao's troops continued to circle back from the west. The situation of the troops on Sima Division's side
It's already quite disadvantageous.
At first, the forces of both sides entered the fight one after another, spreading from east to west. There was no difference in local numbers, and the Sima Division's men fought back and forth.
Sima Division originally hoped for a breakthrough in the middle, because there was Qin Liang's garrison with flags of various shapes and shapes. It looked like they were not the elite of Chinese and foreign armies. But he did not expect that the garrison was so hard-hit! After fighting for a long time, he could not attack.
After coming down, the phalanx on my side kept being broken up, and I had to withdraw and reorganize the formation.
Unable to break through the middle, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable as we go to the rear! Wang Feixiao's rebels are extremely numerous and outflank from the west, directly forming a siege on Sima Division's left-wing formation.
Sima Division had no choice. There were fewer soldiers and horses than the opponent, and they were on the plains. Now they had no available troops.
The battle is still going on, but Sima Division knows that it is over! The last bit of luck that was left at the beginning, hoping to achieve a breakthrough through formation battles, is now completely shattered.
Wang Fei's troops have already circled back to the flanks of the formation, and are attacking from both sides with Qin Liang's troops stationed there.
Not long after, the patchwork troops on the western rear wing of the Sima Division could no longer withstand the siege. It was almost like a house collapsed, and the rebels continued to retreat southward.
The entire large formation on the west side cannot be defended. More and more people are retreating, and the military formation is being compressed rapidly. If the battle continues like this, within half a day, Wang's division will be compressed and surrounded outside the west city gate.
In the distance, a large flag fluttered in the wind in the dust, and wrote: King Qin will fight against rebellion, and he will be on his side with Qing Dynasty.
Sima Division has to be careful. After morale collapses, the situation on the entire battlefield will change suddenly!
At this time, a general rode forward and said in a deep voice: "I have prepared a boat in Yingyin County. The general will leave first, and then I will lead the troops to break through."
