Turbulent Times Chapter 1135: Invincible spear battle array
This kind of long spear is made by Nie Xiaoyu combined with the length of the arms of ordinary adults, as well as the strength, the maximum distance that can be extended, and other factors, and comprehensively calculates the final length of the long spear. Specially equipped.
And every soldier in Wang Junlin's army will train the formation, in order to lay the foundation for the advanced and scientific battle formation that Nie Xiaoyu found.
At this time, a dense array of spearheads appeared in front of the array, and the Goguryeo infantry rushing up over the horses instinctively slowed down.
Gao Jianwu was able to send Li Guangsheng to lead the 20,000 reinforcements because Li Guangsheng himself was a general with extensive battlefield experience. He gave an order, and the long weapons such as spears in the hands of the Goguryeo infantry were also leveled, and kept as much as possible. On a flat battle line, while recovering his strength, he also approached step by step.
It's just that, because the weapons are different, and there is no unified trained formation, naturally the length is different, the height is not uniform, and the platoon is not even.
The Goguryeo reinforcements obviously have not experienced this kind of fighting style. Some rushed forward to fight recklessly, and were immediately stabbed to death by the dense spears. , Trying to wait for the opportunity in vain, but it turns out that their method is useless at all.
Before the spears clash with each other to attract the enemy's attention, these short soldiers cannot attack, otherwise they will be easily tied into meat skewers by the opponent's dense spears.
During this process, the catapults on Wang Junlin's side and the bows and arrows of the cavalry and infantry behind Goguryeo did not stop firing. Continuously causing certain damage to both sides.
The Goguryeo soldiers are not fools, on the contrary they are rich in combat experience. After the sacrifices of some daredevils, including Li Guangsheng, the whole Goguryeo army finally faintly felt that things seemed to be different from what they imagined. It will not be stuck up and sent to the point of the gun.
As the two sides got closer and closer, their strides became smaller and smaller. The spears flickered coldly, and they were both extremely threatening. Under mutual deterrence, they were cautiously approaching the attack distance.
However, compared with the caution of Goguryeo infantry, Goguryeo cavalry is different. They just because
Because of the existence of horses, and the Sui Army's armor and helmets are strong, their bows and arrows are too lethal, and they have to endure various long-range attacks from their opponents. They lost four to five hundred cavalry before the real battle started. Therefore, the Goguryeo cavalry had long been suffocated, with murderous intent in their hearts, and after the infantry cleared them away, they couldn't wait to rush up.
In addition to the 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry guarding the two sides, the remaining 7,000 cavalry charged towards Wang Junlin's infantry phalanx roaring from both sides.
"Squat down in the first two rows! Resist horses!" Wang Junlin gave an order on the podium on the top of the short mountain, and the orderlies around him passed the order to the following with the sound of drums and semaphore as quickly as possible. Xiaotong and Luo Chunlai were quickly executed.
In front of the cavalry rolling in, Wang Junlin's infantry didn't feel much nervous, and obeyed the order subconsciously. Start aiming with the rapid crossbow receptacle and get ready to shoot.
The infantry in the middle of the first echelon is fighting with the Goguryeo infantry, and the infantry on both sides are facing the Goguryeo cavalry. Basic training in the infantry regulations set by King's Landing and Nie Xiaoyu.
At this time, there is no need for Wang Junlin to order an attack. Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han in the first echelon will judge the situation and issue orders. Luo Chunlai will take 5,000 people as the second echelon, and he is ready to make up for it at any time. bit ready.
The Goguryeo cavalry were already about 80 paces away. Guan Xiaotong had a hideous face and shouted loudly: "The last two rows are ready to fire their crossbows!"
The soldiers in the last two rows turned sideways to look for the shooting point at the same time. Guan Xiaotong didn't give them too much time to prepare, and immediately shouted: "Aim!"
The infantry on Wang Junlin's side had one hundred rapid crossbows in each row, all aiming at the incoming Goguryeo cavalry. Amidst the thunderous hooves, Guan Xiaotong waited coldly for the Goguryeo soldiers to enter about sixty paces , and then shouted loudly: "Let go!"
There was a buzzing sound, and each of the rapid-fire crossbows fired nine bursts at a time, and all of them were shot empty, and in order to prevent all of them from being shot at the enemy soldiers in the front row, they would take a breath of time between each crossbow. More than 300 people in the front row
The Goguryeo cavalry fell to the ground.
While the cavalry is majestic, it also provides a bigger target. Most of the hits are horses. They rolled violently on the ground, causing chaos for the Goguryeo reinforcements.
"Stand up in the front row! Take aim and get ready to shoot!" Guan Xiaotong's voice was still very steady, but he gave the command a little faster.
Amidst Guan Xiaotong's roar, the soldiers in the front row stood up and raised the fast crossbow, and the soldiers in the back row began to load the fast crossbow with arrows.
"Launch!"
Another round of 200 fast crossbows fired nine bursts at intervals, and the Goguryeo cavalry in front of them fell down again with more than 300 horses, causing chaos again, but the other cavalry accelerated and rushed madly.
At this time, it is too late for the next round of shooting.
"Reject horses in the front row!" Guan Xiaotong ordered again, and the soldiers in the front row who had just finished shooting all squatted down, and the soldiers in the second row stood up and raised their guns. The army formation was like a hedgehog with spikes.
The Goguryeo cavalry roared towards them, and the Sui army in front of them did not panic at all, and even put up such a long spear formation, which surprised all the Goguryeo cavalry, and felt a little uneasy inexplicably in their hearts.
The dense array of iron spears stimulated the Goguryeo cavalry horses to turn their heads at the last moment, or to stop before the formation, which greatly affected the final collision effect of the cavalry.
Li Guangsheng was taken aback by the result of his own cavalry charging the opponent's infantry, and his anxiety grew stronger.
Before this, he had never seen a cavalry charge without the slightest panic, and he had never even heard of it. He almost thought he was dazzled just now.
Li Guangsheng was taken aback. It wasn't that his cavalry had no results, but the opponent's first row of infantry was still knocked away, and more than a hundred people were killed or injured on the spot. However, they managed to hold back the Goguryeo cavalry charge.
In the previous battlefield experience of these cavalry in Goguryeo, unless the number of infantry is several times that of the cavalry, and there are clever battle formations to cooperate, of course the infantry must be elite soldiers in all battles. was washed out. But the scene in front of him completely overturned the common sense of the Goguryeo cavalry. The psychological impact of this is very large.
