lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!

A large number of people and flags were surging in the distance, some people stopped in place, some people in front continued to move forward, and the two-winged cavalry were also moving. On the farther hillside, the walkers are also following certain rules. There are hundreds of thousands of people, like a huge war machine, slowly moving and making huge noises!

In this backward era dominated by small peasant economy and nomadism, countless people have demonstrated the highest degree of organization of the times in the battlefield, and they have also concentrated a lot of resources within the reach of productivity.

Guo Shao stood on the hillside, observing every place deep in the mist without a word. It can be seen that the pace of the coalition's offensive is very calm... They deployed a cavalry on the side between the front and rear of the Daxu army to monitor Cao Bin's department, and concentrated their efforts to bite the front army's more than 40,000 troops in this valley Ride, it looks really good.

Guo Shao paid attention to the wooden stakes on the battlefield. About 1,200 feet away from the front line of Xu Jun, the coalition army gathered more than 50,000 infantry and lined up there. There are hundreds of square arrays alone, forming a large array with a wide cross section and a great depth.

The main force of the enemy cavalry is still farther behind. The cavalry advancing the two wings of the infantry have different armors, and they look ragged, unlike the fine cavalry of the Liao army.

After a short while, the coalition forward infantry continued to advance uphill without stopping, with a strength of about four or three thousand, or five thousand. Below the hillside, the drums are loud.

"Woo..." The vigorous horns sounded in unison, passing the noisy crowd in the wind, leaping between countless valleys.

A row of soldiers on the hillside held the two-color flag in unison with both left and right hands, with a red heart on the left hand and a black heart on the right. The red flag moved backwards and the black flag moved forwards, staggered repeatedly.

Xu Jun immediately heard loud shouts and curses from the generals. The soldiers immediately interlaced, and the infantry in the front four rows with long spears turned around and passed through the gap between the gods in the back; then the heavy infantry in the back, wearing plate armor, steel helmet and holding sword and shield, moved to the front.

The enemy soldiers have come up along the gentle hillside with various weapons, and countless people have stepped on the loess to fill the dust, "Wow..." The strange cry, like a large group of wild animals rushing out of the mountains.

General Xu Jun's eyes widened, staring at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, with red eyes like savages, wearing iron plates and holding knives, guns, clubs and shields.

A general in the crowd above yelled: "Much must win!"

"Long live..." The shouts of the army suppressed the noise on the battlefield. "Drink!" The neatly lined up heavy infantry picked up the finely crafted metal-clad wooden shield, holding a one-handed sword on the shield.

A group of enemy soldiers in the middle took the lead in shouting and rushing over within a hundred paces. The screams of screams don't know what it means, but people's voices roared with tension, fear, and anger.

"Prepare!" "Prepare..." the commanders drew their swords and shouted.

"Chang!" With a sound of a gong, a commanding **** arm raised a bow and arrow without aiming, "Cracking..." The string rang, and a cloud of black arrows filled the sky.

"Let!" "Let..."

In an instant, enemy soldiers from all over the side swarmed up, and arrows flew up and down in the air. The falling arrows hit Xu Jun's iron armor claws "ding and ding and ding", and there was a scream from time to time.

The first place in the middle met with short soldiers, and among the crowd, there were many people very dense, so I saw swords waving. In fact, people swing their weapons very slowly, and they always swipe them hard! If the force is too small, it is in vain. Both sides hold shields, and Xu Jun is still wearing heavy armor.

"Hey!" a party man shouted and slammed the wooden shield into Xu Jun's shield. With his momentum, he slammed the soldier back half a step and stopped his horse. The party man immediately picked up his mace and swung it down. The first "clam" hit the shoulder armor. The soldier screamed and the shield fell, but he immediately picked up the iron sword at the party wooden shield. The gap pierced violently, and immediately the blood smashed his face.

A Sergeant Xu next to him was pierced into the breastplate by a knife and called out in pain.

In front of Xu Jun, the queue was turbulent, and the killing sound shook the sky, and the sparks from the impact of iron tools gleamed like gold stars in the yellow dust. The contact area for the fight is very limited, but the sacred hand on the hillside fired a flat shot at the approaching Dangxiang army infantry, killing a lot of injuries. The most terrifying place to fight ahead, but the most casualties are the bow|arrow shooting|killing in depth.

The heavy infantry in the front fought **** battles, the crazy enemy soldiers in the front, and the dense formation of their own in the back, there was no way forward, so they could only fight desperately!

The general yelled not far away: "Those who take a step back, cut!"

The military band played exciting tunes with horizontal drum horns. Each of the hundreds of people had staff members of the command system, who were also loudly boosting morale, the generals were yelling, and the staff members were using various noble words to praise Soldiers regard death as home...but none of these can eliminate the bleeding, pain, and fear of the soldiers.

The crowd on the positive hillside|Crossing the front line, the screaming and killing are louder than the sound of drum music.

People were breathing heavily in their mouths, sweating in the cold air, and breathing white vapor. Elite soldiers are first and foremost a strong man, because it takes no physical effort to fight to death! Wearing armor weighing tens of kilograms, the strength of the step bow is always a stone, and it feels exhausted after pulling it a few times.

Hearing the yell of "ready", a soldier with a god-armed hand opened his bow and arrows, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. At this moment, he saw an infantry brother in front of him slashing at an enemy soldier next to him, and another enemy soldier in front took up a spear and rushed towards him. Suddenly, the archer didn't think much, and immediately turned the bow and arrow, and shot it close with a "slap".

The Xu Jun infantry found an arrow in the forehead of the enemy soldier in front of him. He was afraid for a while. He looked back, but at this moment, the string of "Papa......" Large crowds are shooting arrows.

...The Chinese army square banner has the word "Xu" written on it, hunting and flying in the wind. Guo Shao and his men stood still on the spot, watching the yellow dust in front of them, the **** storm. The soldiers stood there and didn't have to go into battle, but their bodies tightened, staring at them.

The drum trumpeter not far away, kicking on his stilted feet, clinging to the advocacy, looks like he is ready to rush. The shouting on the hillside rang out, forming a "buzz..." noise. Loud shouts were heard not far away from time to time, during which the "De Ling" voice was short and powerful, and the tension was abnormal.

At this moment, the staff will turn their heads, hesitate to speak, and finally there is no answer.

Guo Shao has already seen with his own eyes that the second batch of enemy infantry is marching forward in formation. This time there are more people, perhaps tens of thousands! And the fight ahead is still going on!

In the current situation, the enemy soldiers will put in new troops and replace the first batch of troops!

Wheel tactics.

The enemy troops with messy armor and weapons on the battlefield look like savages, but they are obviously not true primitives, and their tactics cannot be underestimated. There have been wars in the northwest for thousands of years. The coalition has Daliao’s "military advisers". They are not good crops. Liao is a real power and once more influential than the Central Plains. Many distant countries in the north regard Daliao as a "China".

Guo Shao looked at the signs of order in the chaos on the battlefield, and finally said: "Pass the order, use the siege iron cannon to assist the frontline infantry!"

"Take Ling!"

After a while, Wang Pu picked up the seal, stamped it on a piece of paper, and handed it to a writer. Soon the officer hurried out with two messengers with yellow pennants on their backs.

The siege mortar with a large muzzle and a short barrel on the gun mount is half buried in the soil. A military commander took a look at the order and passed it to the military staff aside. He immediately drew out his sword and shouted: "Your Majesty’s decree, the iron cannon battalion is fighting! Send the iron cannon teams, prepare to fire!"

While yelling, the army simply pulled out the straw paper blocking the muzzle, which had already been filled with gunpowder and stone bullets.

The cannon muzzle of more than twenty black holes is slanting to the sky. Hearing a "cang" sound, a loud shout came: "Let it go!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The thunderous tremors sounded one after another, and the earth was trembling.

On the gentle slope, I saw a row of white smoke rising one after another, and the flames spurted out of the smoke | The momentum was huge, but the stone bullets didn't fly fast, and they were huge, flying into the air like the eyes could see, and falling into the coalition crowd with their weight.

Nearly a hundred catties of stones fell from the air. Below is a dense formation of coalition infantry battalions, spreading all over with people. Stone cannons can hit people at will, only a few of them hit the open space between the squares.

The whole camp fired a volley of iron cannons into the dense crowd of enemy soldiers, and the enemy soldiers immediately killed and injured dozens of people!

The stone bullets fell between the dry and hard loess and sand, and the loess dust was splashed, like smoke from an explosion! Some hit people straight away, some cracked, the stones splashed up, and one or two people who were unlucky around would be injured.

However, the shelling really made the party soldiers panic and shocked, and they hit them hundreds of feet away. The ordinary soldiers did not expect it.

The scene was terrifying. On the loess soil, a soldier was lying on all sides, his head shattered, and blood and white pulp splashed all over the floor. The other is that the **** liver and intestines are in a pool of blood. A soldier was holding his cheek hurt by the stone and screaming heartily.

In the large phalanx that Dang Xiang had just stepped forward, there was some chaos and disturbance everywhere, and the progress was slow. People looked up at the sky.

However, Xu Jun's artillery fire rang, and it fell silent. The iron cannon only carried a battalion of 500 people. It was troublesome to clean the barrel and reload it in one round.

This was also effective. The second batch of enemy soldiers was shocked by the artillery fire for a while, disrupting the rhythm of the rotation attack. Xu Jun's front line repulsed the enemy soldiers in front of him and won a respite. Each head and ten generals hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat. The commanders of the upper second echelon move forward in horizontal teams, with gaps between the commands, allowing the column in front to retreat.

Guo Shao still looks at the hill above the large cavalry on the opposite side, where people are standing. The two sides are far apart, but apart from a wide valley, they seem to be looking at each other.
