Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1208 The turning point of the Battle of Qishan

The huge roars of the Mengshi people even covered up the horns blown by Han Sui's army for a time. The frightened horses were so frightened that they fled to the side. It also caused chaos in the formation that was finally assembled. Many of Han Sui's soldiers grew up. Mouth, staring at the Montessori battle flag that suddenly appeared behind him at a loss, there was only one thought swirling in his head, where did this army come from?

Compared with the confusion and bewilderment of Han Sui's soldiers, the Meng family members were united as one, like tigers descending from the mountain, and rushed towards Han Sui's formation, aiming directly at Han Sui's own formation!

Some of the arrows hurriedly shot by the Qiang soldiers were unable to stop the steps of the Meng clan. Even if someone fell down after being hit by an arrow, the rest of the people roared loudly and crashed into Han Sui's hastily formed group. In the rear camp array!

"...The people of Qin donated their armour, their disciples, and their coats to seduce the enemy, grabbing heads on the left and prisoners on the right..."

Zhang Yi's description of the Qin army may have been exaggerated to make the Zongheng technique successful, but one thing is certain. The Qin people's bravery on the battlefield was unmatched by the Six Nations at that time.

On the battlefield, the people of Qin are like hungry wolves, tigers, and ferocious beasts with teeth and claws!

Once upon a time, they were a nightmare for the armies of the Six Nations, a sleepy opponent for all generals, and a dark cloud that had hung over the nobles of the Warring States Period in Shandong for hundreds of years, with the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads!

At the moment when the Qin people's battle cry sounded, it seemed that the Qin army that had conquered the six kingdoms four hundred years ago was coming again. Han Sui's soldiers looked at this group of people, like sharp blades, and suddenly splashed out. A bloody flower, like a heavy hammer, hit Han Sui's rear camp array and immediately bent it.

Meng Shu roared, holding a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and skillfully harvested the Han Sui soldiers on the opposite side, just like a farmer who had been working for many years harvesting the crops of his own world, relaxed and skillful.

This is not Mengshu's first time on the battlefield. When he was young, he used the name Li Meng to hang out in Liangzhou for a period of time, about five years ago, and fought with Dong Zhuo for a period of time. Later, he discovered that there was actually a man with the same name and the same surname under Li Jue, also named Li Meng. At that time, I was worried about attracting attention and asked for the truth, so I quietly returned to Mengjiazhai.

Among the people of the Meng family, there are actually many like Meng Shu. Take Meng Shu as an example. In fact, when he changed his name to Li Meng, he also brought a group of brothers with him, and they were all together during the war. This was also the default rule in the Han Dynasty, and most of the so-called good family members joined the army.

Most veterans who have been on the battlefield know that fear is the most useless thing on the battlefield. Fear will bring tension, fear of hands and feet, and slow reaction, and these are often the most deadly things on the battlefield. Only when you put aside your fear and face the opponent in front of you wholeheartedly can your body become more agile and you have a better chance of surviving the battlefield.

Moreover, this time's battle, compared to previous battles where the two armies were tightly guarded and formations were strictly prohibited, Han Sui's formation had fewer obstacles and more flaws.

Han Sui's soldiers did not expect that enemies would appear in the rear, nor did they make any preparations for combat. Han Sui was so angry that he vomited blood due to Fei Qian's words on the first day. As a result, the defense system inside the camp was not in accordance with the usual routine. According to customary arrangements, except for a few sentry towers in the front for detection and warning, there were no sentry towers built in the rear camp, let alone digging trenches in front of the array to resist the enemy.

Han Sui's soldiers, who had gathered in a hurry, were not even fully arranged in formation, but Meng Shu led his men to kill them. One veteran can defeat three new recruits, and a hundred veterans can even beat up a thousand new recruits to run away. This is where the mutual cooperation and support in the array lies.

In order to stop Meng Shu and others, Han Sui ordered the people at the forefront to shoot with bows and arrows, but some of the people who came in a hurry only took swords and guns instead of bows and arrows, and went back to get them...

When the bows and arrows were brought, Meng Shu and others also came closer. The arrows fired in a hurry were basically blocked by the large shields held in the hands of the Meng clan. However, these Han Sui soldiers holding bows and arrows were facing When Meng Shu and others got close, they were almost facing a disaster.

Under Meng Shu's order, the sword and shield player who was the first to engage the enemy hid his body behind the shield, tilted his body against the shield, and hit him. When the opponent was knocked back and staggered, the sword in his hand The long sword slipped out of the gap in the shield, biting it like a poisonous snake, and then raised the shield again and hit it again...

Bump, stab, bump again, stab again.

There are only two tricks, very simple, but extremely easy to use.

The spearmen and spearmen in the back row are responsible for killing the enemy troops in the second row. When the first group is in a stalemate with the enemy, the spearman with a twig can even attack from top to bottom. Assist in slashing, or push the enemy back again...

Han Sui's soldiers had no time to change their weapons and were rushed close to the formation. Under the slaughter of the Meng clan, Han Sui's first line of soldiers quickly collapsed. They either fled in panic, or were cut down in large pieces like Zhuang He under a farmer.

The original battle mode of the Qin people was to use large-scale powerful crossbows to cover and strike before engaging in battle. With the support of a powerful military industry system, the Qin Dynasty's bronze crossbow shooting range could even reach 800 steps. Of course, at that distance, it basically relied on the weight of the crossbow itself, and there was not much accuracy.

The current Mengjiazhai does not have the material and financial resources to support the equipment of crossbows. It is already very difficult to assemble such a batch of armors and weapons. Just like the old patriarch told Meng Shu, if this time If you don’t go to battle, you may have no equipment to use next time...

The second array of Han Sui's army was even more unlucky. They had just assembled and had not even had time to form a dense formation. The shields on the east and west were like the teeth of the elders. Their symbolic meaning was greater than their actual use. In addition, they were collided by the archers in the front row who turned around and fled. , the array that was not very orderly and meticulous in the first place fell into a mess in an instant.

Meng Shu holds a long sword and kills in all directions, harvesting lives one after another. One of Han Sui's soldiers mustered up the courage to rush towards Meng Shu and slashed at him with his sword. However, Meng Shu stabbed him in the chest, killing him instantly.

"Kara..."

Meng Shu drew his sword, but because the sword was stuck on his sternum, he couldn't draw it out for a while. Seeing an opportunity, the other two Han Sui soldiers raised their spears and pierced Meng Shu's body.

Meng Shu let go of his hand, letting the corpse collapse to the ground with the long sword, and then quickly blocked his body with a shield. The spear pierced the shield, and sawdust flew, but it could not penetrate. Meng Shu pushed forward violently and picked up a spear that someone had left on the ground. When the two Han Sui spearmen were pushed and staggered, he directly stabbed one of them down, and then stepped on the belt with his foot. He looked at the corpse holding the long sword, pulled out the long sword with a little force, and then took a step forward, piercing the throat of another spearman with the sword.

Meng Shu was unhurried in completing these actions, without any fancy moves or superfluous actions. Everything was so natural.

If compared with Xu Huang, although Xu Huang's roaring battle ax, injuring those who encountered him, disemboweling and disemboweling his limbs, and making the scene bloody and tragic, can give the enemy the strongest psychological shock and fear, Xu Huang also needs to regain his breath, isn't it? There is no end to the battle ax that can be wielded.

Meng Shu, on the other hand, kills one person in one step. The long sword in his hand is mostly used to stab or pick, aiming at weak points such as wrists, knees, ribs, neck, etc. Although the scene is not as scary as Xu Huang, from the moment he charged into the formation to now, But it didn't stop at all, and it seemed as if it would never need to stop. Just step by step, it fought to the end of the battle formation, until the enemy completely collapsed.

The soldiers on both sides of Han Sui's formation subconsciously gathered in the middle, hoping to surround the Meng clan. However, such subconscious actions, without unified and effective deployment, actually caused the already chaotic formation to lose its flexibility and become crowded together. , making the entire battle formation even more chaotic.

"Drumroll! March!"

When the Mengshi flag was revealed behind Han Sui, Li Ru saw it almost at the same time. Therefore, when Han Sui mobilized troops to intercept the Mengshi, Fei Qian was also gathering troops here.

The rumbling war drums resounded throughout the earth, Xu Huang and his soldiers gathered down from the hillside, approaching Han Sui's front step by step...

Compared with the small-scale troops of the Mengshi people, the Zhengxi army, which formed three battle formations on the left, right and center, was undoubtedly more shocking and eye-catching.

The side close to the mountain forest was mostly archers, then there was a battle formation of fully armed infantry in the center, and the other side was infantry mixed with crossbowmen. The two wings quickly pressed forward to seize the shooting position, while the Chinese army's battle formation moved forward steadily amid the sound of drums, approaching Han Sui's camp step by step with a strong sense of oppression.

If Fei Qian took the initiative to go out to fight Han Sui two days ago, Han Sui would probably have laughed. But now that Fei Qian chose to go out at this time, it caused Han Sui extreme pain.

"Young Commander!"

The messenger found Ma Chao among the crowded soldiers, "The general orders you to lead the troops to the front camp to meet the soldiers of the Western Conquest!"

"What?!" Ma Chao, who finally arrived at the back camp, pointed at the back camp and said, "You are already here, and you want me to go back to the front camp?"

"This...this is the general's order..." The ordering soldier was helpless.

"Alas!" Ma Chao slammed his spear to the ground, glanced at the rear camp, which was close at hand, gritted his teeth, turned back, and shouted, "Come, follow me to the front camp!"

Ma Chao, who had originally circled back, saw the Di people surrounding him and encountered Gong Jun's attack on Zangma. As a result, the horses were either dead, injured or fled. The situation was irreversibly chaotic, so he fled immediately, and stopped again halfway. He found a few escaped war horses and returned to Han Sui in embarrassment.

The eight hundred soldiers brought were basically destroyed.

Han Sui was furious and almost killed Ma Chao on the spot. Everyone begged for mercy, and Han Sui suppressed the blame and asked Ma Chao to take the blame and make meritorious service...

Therefore, when Han Sui ordered Ma Chao to rush to the front camp, although Ma Chao was already here, he did not dare to say anything more and could only follow the order.

At this moment, the two wings of the Zhengxi soldiers had already occupied the position first, and the archers also shot the first batch of arrows for calibration, which fell forward or backward and landed in front of Han Sui's array.

Some Qiang cavalry rushed out and tried to kill the Zhengxi flank on the flat ground, but they were shot back by strong crossbows. In addition, Han Sui now had to stare at two sides, and he had previously ordered to camp back. Assemble, and now again send orders to the troops to defend the west. Sometimes, due to the speed or slowness of the messengers, some queues actually received two completely different orders at the same time...

Compared with Han Sui's soldiers who were at a loss as to what to do, whether it was Fei Qian's soldiers or the Meng clan, it was relatively simple, and they were moving forward anyway!

forward!

That's right, keep moving forward, take advantage of the chaos in Han Sui's formation, and use all your strength to overwhelm the enemy formation!

When infantry fight against cavalry, the battle must be quick. If Han Sui's cavalry is allowed to sprint or gallop, the infantry will be the ones who suffer the most in the end.

But if the enemy can be penetrated in one breath, once the momentum of this array is dispersed, Han Sui and his group are basically finished. Don't expect to be able to reorganize the scattered soldiers with the mouse and be in the same running situation like in later games. Under such circumstances, without the effective control of the generals, the fleeing soldiers must only want to escape to a safe place before stopping. It is impossible to organize a counterattack automatically and spontaneously. Moreover, everyone knows the quality of the Qiang Huqi. Once The troops were defeated and frightened. After losing the organizational structure, it was too late to run, so there was no such thing as turning defeat into victory...

"Rush over!"

Meng Shu raised his arms and shouted.

"Destroy them!"

Fei Qian waved the Zhongxing Sword.

"Stop! Stop them!"

Han Sui hissed at the top of his lungs, his veins exposed.

"Mount! Mount! Hurry! Hurry!"

Ma Chao urged his troops, climbed on their horses and began to line up, preparing to attack.

Fei Qian sent almost all his men, but in the main camp, only the last reserve team and the wounded soldiers were left. The same was true for Han Sui's side. On the one hand, they were resisting Mengshi's attack, and on the other hand, they were facing Fei Qian's army. Both sides mobilized all their strength!

The war drums are roaring, the victory or defeat is decided at this moment!

Han Sui's soldiers were relatively large, and if the Qiang cavalry really started to run, although the crossbowmen on Fei Qian's flanks were strong, they would not be able to hold out for long without any position to rely on. If Ma Chao With proper command, a battle may not be impossible...

However, Ma Chao did not have this opportunity after all. Just when Ma Chao was preparing to lead his team to fight, in the north, Gan Feng also appeared on the edge of the battlefield with a team of troops. There was almost no pause. After defeating Cheng Gongying from Shanggui, the Zhengxi cavalry arrived at the battlefield. Seeing such a situation, without saying a word, they immediately joined the battlefield and became an overwhelming force. The last straw for the horse!
