Turbulent Times Chapter 1487: The painful Cheng Yaojin

The generals of the Wagang Army discovered that their bows and arrows could finally kill the Far Eastern Army, so they frantically seized the time to draw their bows and shoot at the fast crossbowmen. First.

But the Wagang Army sprayed **** arrows and fell more in the continuous volleys from both sides of the Far East Army. Call.

As the spears of the infantry battle formations on both sides got closer and closer, the Wagang Army's front row and two wings suffered more and more losses. Now they have lost nearly a thousand people, especially facing the Far Eastern Army's two wings. The position where the crossbowmen continued to shoot, there was a gap in the Wagang army's long spear array.

The heavy arrows of the Wagang Army also pose a great threat to the infantry of the Far Eastern Army. Although they can only shoot through the steel armor of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army within more than 30 steps, they also caused more than 70 casualties in the Far Eastern Army in a short time. It's just that the power of the bow and arrow is limited, and the number of direct deaths is not many.

Finally, there were only twenty steps left. The two sides endured the blows of long-range weapons and approached the distance to engage in combat. A close-range death battle was about to come.

The marching drums of the Far Eastern Army's phalanx suddenly stopped and became slow drums with intervals.

"Ping Gun!"

Twenty steps away, the roars of several captains in the Far Eastern Army sounded, and the first three rows of spears in the five square formations in the front of the Far Eastern Army were leveled. Each soldier turned to the right, with his left hand in front of his right hand At the back, the spear was aimed at the direction of the Wagang army. This action uses the left hand as the support point, and the right hand plays the role of controlling the body of the spear. It can be held all the way to the tail of the spear shaft, which can not only save energy relatively, but also hold the spear Attack range increased to max.

Since both sides have long spears nearly one foot four feet long, it is difficult for soldiers to accurately judge the timing of the thrust. , Looking for an opportunity after approaching slowly like this is the most suitable for the battle with ultra-long spears.

Dense spearheads appeared in front of the array, and the Wagang army's drumbeat slowed down, and their spearmen also leveled their spearmen, keeping a flat front and approaching step by step, but there were various ways to hold them. How can there be such uniformity as the infantry of the Far East Army.

The fast crossbowmen on both wings of the Far Eastern Army fired a final salvo, while the Wagang Army threw a wave of weapons such as throwing axes and darts, causing the last long-range damage to the opponent, and then the two wings of the Far Eastern Army phalanx fired The fast crossbowman began to retreat, but he did not retreat completely. Instead, he was in the waist position of the first echelon phalanx, and continued to shoot at the Wagang Army as much as possible.

The spears in front of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were getting closer and closer, but everyone's expression remained unchanged, and they just approached the enemy step by step according to the drumbeat.

The Wagang army is not a fool, they will not rush forward to the muzzle of the gun. As the two sides get closer and closer, the pace becomes smaller and smaller. Next, they are all approaching the attack range cautiously.

The people of the Wagang Army all stared at the soldiers of the Far East Army with ferocious lights in their eyes, wishing they could swallow them up in one bite, but the soldiers of the Far East Army didn't even look at the faces of the Wagang soldiers opposite them. Instead of looking at the opponent's spear blade not far in front of him, he stared at the opponent's shoulder without blinking, paying attention to the opponent's movements, moving his feet slowly, judging the distance between them.

The pikemen can't keep their ultra-long spears flat for too long. The due time will come sooner or later. The spearheads of both sides and the opponent's spearheads will start to hand over. , the guns and spears made a light collision sound from time to time, the drums had stopped at this time, and the soldiers confronting each other on the front line were all focused on the frontal opponent, judging the most suitable time to assassinate while slowly approaching, no one at this time There is still time to make a sound, only the generals shouting reminders, and the rustling of footsteps.

Everyone in the Far Eastern Army is like being in a forest of long spears. On both sides are the spear heads of the comrades in the back row, and in front of them are the spear shafts of themselves and the enemy. Rocking up and down slightly, they were only the last four feet away.

Everyone in the Stormy Bear Battalion benefited from the fact that they had several long-gun confrontations with the blue team formed by Nie Xiaoyu on Snake Island. This feeling of facing a gun is no stranger.

But this was not a drill after all, the tip of the gun in front of him shook slightly, probably approaching the attack range of the assassination, the soldiers of the Far East Army dared not approach any further.

Wagang soldiers on the opposite side are the same

Hesitating, because countless spears are also in front of each of them, and the formation of the Far Eastern Army's phalanx is very straight, and his right hand is hidden behind him. He can't judge the enemy's assassination distance, maybe he will take another step You will be attacked by three spears, and the Wagang Army uses the downward grip to hold the gun. Not only is it difficult, but also a section of the tail of the gun must be left behind, which reduces the attack range. As time goes by and physical strength continues to be consumed , he had to extend the length of the gun tail to maintain the balance of the gun body, so he was worried and anxious now.

As they approached slowly, the only sound left on the front line was the heavy breathing of both sides and the light clashing of nail leaves. Occasionally, officers shouted, but no one listened.

Amidst the silence, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army faced the guns on the opposite side and rubbed forward with the smallest strides. A short period of time is as long as ten thousand years to him.

At a certain moment, several Wagang soldiers suddenly shouted wildly, like a signal to start a fight. The two sides started a chaotic stabbing almost at the same time. As dense as raindrops.

In the seemingly chaotic situation, the soldiers of the Storm Bear Battalion took advantage of the distraction of the Wagang soldiers when they were stabbed, and took a step forward to occupy the attacking position like a conditioned reflex. forward, leaning forward slightly, with both right and left hands protruding forward at the same time, the long spear thrust out like lightning, and when they were still a foot away from the opponent's spear blade, they felt a stagnation in their hands, and the long spear accurately pierced into the opposing tile. The entire movement of the sentry's neck was completed in an instant.

The next moment, the spears of an unknown number of Wagang soldiers fell to the ground with a clang. The Wagang soldiers on the opposite side were distracted and almost did not dodge the assassination of the soldiers of the Stormy Bear Battalion. on the ground.

Soon, the front line has become a mess. More and more soldiers rushed to the middle area, struggling in front of their respective positions. The wide and dense contact area quickly brought huge casualties. The first row of both sides quickly suffered losses, and the pikemen in the back row continued to fill up. The tidy rear quickly turned into a zigzag.

The ten thousand soldiers of the Violent Bear Battalion are like robots, or they seem to be fighting in a state of numbness, relying entirely on the body's instinctive reaction developed by countless times of training to repeatedly assassinate.

After the first batch of casualties, the two sides fought more and more crazily, and there was no more careful temptation. Rulin's spears were puffing out one after another, quickly harvesting lives. Some people fell every breath in the middle, but often the Far Eastern Army died. With one person, the Wagang Army will die five people, and the corpses almost cover the front line.

As time went by, the casualties of the Wagang Army increased sharply, their bravery was torn to pieces in the face of death, and at some point they were finally defeated.

The Far East Army's spear formation continued to advance, and the Wagang Army's infantry began to flee backwards. Li Xuanba led a thousand cavalry to charge diagonally, and began to chase and kill those deserters.

The Far Eastern Army with a fast crossbow rushed out from the two wings and the gaps, and ran to pursue them. A unit of stubborn Wagang army.

Wang Xuan looked at the collapsing army with a pale face. The soldiers still wanted to kill people to supervise the battle, but even the people who supervised the battle were drowned in an instant, and they had to flee behind.

They had 13,000 infantry, and they had already lost more than 1,000 people before the battle, and their losses were even greater after they got closer. The two wings of the Wagang Army could not bear that kind of loss, so they had to fight with bows and arrows at a long distance, so that the two wings not only failed to form a breakthrough, but also suffered great losses.

The pikemen of the Wagang Army in the middle did not gain an advantage in the confrontation, but were quickly defeated by the opponent. Wang Xuan knew just by looking at the formation. The Gang Army has gradually lost its fighting spirit against the still dense Far Eastern Army.

Wang Xuan was tongue-tied. Although he knew that the Far East Army was powerful, he did not expect that the opponent would have shown such formidable combat power without using the legendary gunpowder weapons that could explode.

In fact, Wang Xuan

Before the fight, I also prepared a life-for-life style of play. I even thought that my own team's combat power was not as good as the opponent's. The worst plan was that two people under my command would die in exchange for the opponent's one loss. People will come to support.

But he never thought that he would lose so quickly, and even most of the people behind him had no time to invest, let alone the tens of thousands of people in Huangshizhai behind came to support.

……

……

The two sides engaged in such a brutal fight as soon as they came into contact at the southwestern foot of Huangshipo. This kind of stance, apart from defeating the opponent first, did not leave a way for themselves to exit the battlefield calmly.

Everything that happened today was beyond Cheng Yaojin's expectation.

From Cheng Yaojin's point of view, the Far East Army has already occupied Xiaohe Town, so it should adopt a strategy of step by step and advance step by step.

"Unless the head of the Far Eastern Army's Violent Bear Battalion has great confidence in their combat power, and even thinks that their combat power is far superior to that of our Wagang Army." Standing at the head of Fengyang City, Cheng Yaojin deduced this result My heart became more and more uneasy, and I began to regret that I sent 10,000 reinforcements before, which was too little.

But the problem is that the 40,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army's Violent Bear Battalion and 30,000 people have not been dispatched at the mountain pass of Xiaohe Town. Naturally, his main force in Fengyang City cannot be used.

At this moment, scouts came galloping from the direction of Huangshizhai, bringing news that made Cheng Yaojin and Fang Yanzao's faces turn ugly.

"Wang Xuan set off from Fengyang City for less than two hours. Excluding the time on the road, why did he lose so quickly." Cheng Yaojin frowned in pain. At this time, he finally understood the intention of the Far East Army.

"The Far Eastern Army deliberately sent only 10,000 people to attack Huangshizhai, which we had to save, but the main force was staring at Xiaohe Town in the mountains, forcing me to dare not mobilize the main force of Fengyang City, but to keep sending reinforcements over. , I want to turn Huangshipo into a battlefield for massacres, and we want to involve our troops one by one, instead of besieging and slaughtering them with the advantage of troops.”

"It's just that although we have avoided encircling them with our superior force, is it true that the Far Eastern Army is not afraid of wheel wars, exhausting their physical strength, and finally annihilating their 10,000 people."

"The Far Eastern Army will never compete with us in consumption."

Drawing more conclusions made Cheng Yaojin more and more puzzled and uneasy.

At this time, the messenger sent by Wang Xuan to ask for help came, and Cheng Yaojin closed his eyes in pain, because he found that even though he saw the other party's purpose, he had to act according to the other party's intention and had to send reinforcements In the past, and there can't be too many reinforcements.

The battle over there is so fierce and cruel, we cannot give up the 10,000 troops led by Wang Xuan.

But right now, apart from giving up the tens of thousands of horses, there is no other way to stop the opponent's plan.

Because if he is led by the nose again by the opponent, the scale of the battle will inevitably continue to expand and evolve into a full-scale battle.

In fact, compared with the strategy of shrinking defense and being passive everywhere, it is easy for the Far East Army to defeat each one. For the Wagang Army, this kind of all-out battle may be more beneficial.

The problem is, whether it is Li Mi or Cheng Yaojin, they only want to besiege the Far Eastern Army with superior forces, not this kind of battle where they are forced to send reinforcements little by little.

The most important thing is that because of Li Mi's insistence, the real elite of their Wagang Army in Fengyang City is only the 10,000 people he brought, which is too limited. Yao Jin really doesn't have much confidence in mobilizing the surrounding cottages to come over.

"Perhaps the Far East Army is bluffing. They want us to take out the main force of Fengyang City, and then the main force will suddenly attack Fengyang City from the mountain pass of Xiaohe Town." Fang Yanzao said with some uncertainty.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, but he was too lazy to refute Fang Yanzao's superficial inference.

But Cheng Yaojin hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

In front of a warplane that is even slightly manipulated, the commander may need more decisiveness than ordinary people's calculations.

Without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to make up his mind, the guard of Huangshizhai made the decision for him.

Just when Cheng Yaojin was hesitating, a messenger came to report that 8,000 troops from Huangshizhai had dispatched to meet the defeated troops led by Wang Xuan, and the enemy and us started fighting again on the other side of Huangshipo.
