This is not a metaphor. Whether it is viewed from a distance or the actual situation, the Qingzhou Army's formation is as solid as a rock.//High-speed update//
The bandits at the forefront seemed to have hit an invisible wall, a wall made of bows, arrows and spears. In front of this wall, they hit their heads with bloodshed.
Sun saw clearly that what the Qingzhou soldiers were holding was not a horse spear for riding, but a foot spear.
Of these two weapons, the former is slightly shorter, but has stronger toughness, and is suitable for resolving the rebound force of high-speed collisions and protecting riders; while the latter is similar to the use of spear guns, is longer, has huge mid- and short-range attack power, and is suitable for dense formations.
For sniping, it can be regarded as an upgraded and enhanced version of the spear. Because in addition to stabbing, the rifle can also be slashed.
Although the four hundred Qingzhou troops armed with spears were cavalry, their combat power after dismounting was not weak. The three hundred men lined up in two rows, stabbing in the front row and slashing in the back row, plus the support of nearly a hundred archers behind them.
Defend the circle formation airtight.
The bandits are brave and have good martial arts skills. If there is a melee, the Qingzhou cavalry will definitely not be their opponent. Not everyone can fight one against ten.
But the problem is that the bandits did not have the opportunity to develop the battle into a large-scale melee, making it impossible to take advantage of their military strength.
The bandits at the forefront were the bravest and most skilled desperadoes. I thought that with the momentum of the attack, they could break up the Qingzhou Army's circular formation in one go. After all, the enemy even toppled their flags and used them to attack.
The defensive formation does not seem to have any mystery. If the formation cannot be broken like this, then is there justice and justice in the world?
As a result, they hit their heads and were bleeding, and many of them didn't even have a chance to swing their swords.
The reason is very simple. Their weapons are not long enough. Even if they avoid the bows and arrows, they cannot avoid the stabs of two rows of long spears.
Even if there is an extremely fierce one who wants to fight to the death after being stabbed by a long spear, he soon discovers that his weapon cannot be delivered to the enemy at all, and at most it can only stab the horses on the periphery. After a moment's hesitation,
The chance was gone. Chang Yan from the back row came with a slashing attack, taking away the last bit of life from the gangster.
"Kill the horses first!" Chang Xi saw the problem. The horse wall looked simple, but in fact it was very useful.
These war horses were well-trained and blindfolded. They ignored the sound of gold and iron clashing around them and quietly performed their duties on the city wall. The two rows of horse walls were not thick, but they already exceeded most of the mountains.
The length of the thief's weapon.
After all, the bandits are not regular troops. The longest weapon they are used to is a tassel gun measuring two feet long. How can it compare with the Qingzhou Army's ultra-long rifles of eight feet and two feet four?
An inch long, an inch strong, the old saying is no joke.
Relying on the advantage of weapons, the Qingzhou Army was able to cope with the desperate attack of the bandits. Although the bandits were large in number, when several of them faced each other, the casualties on both sides were disproportionate.
There were two to three hundred dead on the bandits' side. There were only a few more wounded soldiers on the Qingzhou Army's side - this was not the result of hand-to-hand combat, but the result of the few archers among the bandits shooting with all their might.
Both sides were huddled together, and it was easy to hit the target without much skill in shooting. However, the Qingzhou Army had finely crafted leather armor, and most of the arrows were not very lethal, except for the occasional few that were unlucky.
The egg was injured by an arrow; and most of the bandits had only cloth clothes, and under the rain of arrows from the Qingzhou Army, as long as they were hit by an arrow, they would be dead or injured.
In fact, Chang Xi believes that in order to break the circular formation, you must first break the horse wall!
I also began to wonder in my heart. Even the general's flag fell down and the coach was assassinated. How come the Qingzhou Army's defense is still so strong? It's so strong that it's a bit unbelievable.
However, the war was raging, and he had no time to think too much. He had already killed him. Could it be that he would turn around and run away after suffering a slight setback? What was the difference between doing that and being a coward like Zang Ba?
So he thought hard and found a countermeasure: to break the circle formation, he must first break the horse wall!
Although the bandits were a mob, they were quite reliable in executing orders. Chang Xi gave the order, and everyone immediately turned their fire and attacked the war horses. They attacked the Qingzhou Army through the horse wall, but they couldn't reach the people at all, so they attacked the war horses.
, even if the Qingzhou Army can't hit him, let them have a taste of staring blankly!
It is true that the Qingzhou Army cannot defeat the bandits who kill horses. If there is only one layer of horse wall, it would be very easy, but horses are living creatures, not sandbags. After all, they cannot get too close. The Qingzhou Army seems to have no way to deal with the bandits who change their strategy.
If there are more, it can only speed up the rhythm of bow and arrow shooting and kill the enemy more efficiently.
Of course, this could not stop the red-eyed bandits. They used swords and guns to vent their anger on the horses.
Although the war horses were covered with thick felt, even iron armor could not withstand such an intense attack.
The blood surged and the horses were in severe pain. A few fell down silently, but more of them neighed and raised their hooves!
Horses are spiritual creatures, and they will not just stand around waiting to die. Although thick felt cannot withstand all damage, it is still very helpful in weakening the damage.
He was not fatally injured, but was tortured by severe pain, so the horse went crazy...
Because they were blindfolded, the horses ran wildly without a definite direction. They just ran towards the distance away from the pain. The bandits were so crowded around the circle formation that they never expected that such a change would happen. They were beaten by nearly a hundred crazy horses.
Walking in, nearly a hundred bloody paths appeared in the blink of an eye.
A veritable bloody road.
Just like the rider uses spurs and whips to stimulate the horse to run wildly, the stimulated horse will run with all its strength until it dies. The situation is similar now. Nearly a hundred crazy horses crazily crashed into the formation and kept hitting.
If there is no obstacle to the front, or death, the bandits will suffer heavy casualties.
For a moment, the battlefield suddenly fell into silence.
The Qingzhou soldiers felt sorry for Ma; Chang Xi and his minions were stunned.
He never expected that the Qingzhou Army used their war horses as a wall and did not tie them up... Wasn't this deliberately deceiving people? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a shiver in his heart, and a strong uneasiness surged into his heart.
Deliberately deceiving people? Are the people of Qingzhou already prepared? But...
"Roll under and walk three ways down!" A loud roar interrupted his thinking. It was Sun Guan! The former pioneer general held a sword with one arm and took the lead and rolled to the ground, rolling under the horse's belly.
A circular formation.
An inch short, an inch dangerous!
Sun Guan's actions reminded the bandits that no matter how long the weapons of the Qingzhou Army were, they would not be able to stab the enemies who passed through the lower third route. Although the horse wall had murderous intent, it also had loopholes!
"Boys, follow Zhongtai!" Wu Dun also roared, but he did not get under the horse's belly. No one blamed him, because his leg was lame and it was difficult to stand up when he rolled on the ground. He rolled in
It's pure suicide.
"Contain the front and cover the brothers who break out!" Chang Xi came back to his senses. No matter whether the Qingzhou Army was prepared or not. Wang Yu was dead or not, he was now riding a tiger. As long as he could enter a hand-to-hand combat with offense and defense, even if
Zhang Kai failed, but he can still win this battle!
Zhang Jaw's army only has a small number of cavalry as scouts, and no matter how fast the infantry moves, it is impossible to come to the rescue in time. As long as you defeat the enemy in front of you, you will win!
With this in mind, he directed his minions to attack in an all-out attack, making sure to make it difficult for the Qingzhou Army to take care of both.
He could clearly see that in order to respond to Sun Guan's attack, some of the Qingzhou Army abandoned their weapons and drew their swords and leaned down. Obviously, Sun Guan's tactics hit the opponent's vital points and successfully contained them!
The minions swarmed forward, and the battle became more and more intense.
But all this had nothing to do with Sun Guan. He successfully rolled into the enemy's formation. Just as he was bending his waist and preparing to kill under the forest, he bumped into a young general.
The proportion of young heroes in Qingzhou was very high, and Sun Guan could not distinguish the identity of the other party based on his age. However, as soon as he met him, he felt the terrifying aura of the other party.
What surprised him the most was the dagger in the opponent's hand - the battle didn't last long. Under the clear sky, the sun was still bright, and the light shone through the trees, and the dagger was flashing.
Colorful light.
There are not many such fancy weapons, and Sun Guan happens to know one - the seven-star sword!
After confirming the weapon, the identity of the opponent was immediately revealed. Sun Guan looked at the opponent fiercely, spitting out murderous intent from between his teeth: "Wang Pengju?"
"Sun Guan?" Wang Yu's eyes fell on Sun Guan's one arm.
"Very good, since you are here, I can personally avenge my eldest brother!" Chang Xi and Wu Dun might have been stunned into a daze at this moment, but Sun Guan was different from those companions who liked to pride themselves on their resourcefulness.
The only thing he and his eldest brother Sun Kang can trust is the sword in their hands!
Amid the sharp shouts, he followed the sword and threw himself at Wang Yu with his waist bent.
Since Wang Yu didn't fall into the trap, this was the only chance for Sun Guan to get revenge. Therefore, Sun Guan was bound to get this sword, and he was determined to die with his opponent. Naturally, his performance was far better than usual.
strength.
From what he thought, Wang Yu couldn't straighten his body, and the dagger in his hand was too short, which was not conducive to blocking. This sword should have a high chance of success.
But how did he know that what Wang Yu is best at is close combat in such a complex environment. Let alone Sun Guan, even if Lu Bu came to the forest and fought a rat fight with Wang Yu, he would be completely defeated.
share.
Faced with Sun Guan's inevitable blow, Wang Yu advanced instead of retreating. In the process of advancing, he twisted his body to one side, and as a result, the knife that was thrust into his chest was missed!
Before Sun Guan could figure out what was going on, colorful lights were blooming in front of his eyes. Then he heard the splashing sound of liquid, and all the strength in his body was rapidly drained. He finally understood what was going on.
"Okay...quickly..." Sun Guan fell slumped. His eyes were still wide open until he died, as if he wanted to see clearly how the move that took his life was done, and how fast it was.
.
Wang Yu had no time to pay attention to the lamentations of his dead enemy, and the battle was now at its most intense.
The bandits launched an all-round attack from above and below. On the Qingzhou Army side, even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong wielded bows and arrows, which shows the fierceness of the battle. Wang Yu's duty now is not to command, but to kill the enemy, vividly
Kill the enemy! Because he knows that for him, such opportunities may not be too many.
"The Qingzhou Army...should not be able to withstand it in the end, right?" Yin Li commented on the current battle situation.
If Zang Ba is right and Qingzhou is indeed luring the enemy, then this move can only be said to be a bad move. If Wang Yu hadn't faked his death, the bandits' morale and fighting spirit would not have been as high as this and they would have been defeated long ago.
The battle is gone.
Fighting to the death has never been the method of warfare advocated by bandits. Their style is to take advantage and run away after taking advantage.
"That's not necessarily the case." Zang Ba kept watching, listening, and silent. He didn't comment on Yin Li's previous thoughts. But this time, with bright eyes, he pointed at the battlefield down the mountain and made
He made a very firm judgment: "The Qingzhou Army is about to use its trump card!"
"The trump card? Where is it?" Yin Li was surprised and looked over, following Zang Ba's instructions, but he didn't see anything worth noting. Only the supply fleet was docking, as if it wanted to respond to the hard battle on the shore.
Fellow robe.
Zang Ba shook his head, wondering whether he was sighing at Yin Li's slowness or lamenting the Qingzhou Army's thorough arrangement: "That's a supply fleet? Who said that?"
"Yes..." Yin Li was speechless.
"Is it because the ship has a deep draft? But the deep draft only means that the weight on the ship is heavy, but it does not mean that it is a supply fleet?" Zang Ba said faster and faster: "Suppose it is not a river, but flat land, and the ship is
Bing, what do you think the Qingzhou Army’s formation looks like now?”
"Ah!" Yin Li took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise.
That's right, unknowingly, the fleet and the circular formation on the shore have formed an echo. Looking at it as a whole, it looks like a wild goose flapping its wings and ready to fly!
