Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

(Electricity cut off all day.)

...

There was a lot of noise on the battlefield, and the 4,000 infantry commanded by the eight commanders on the front line had already advanced to within a hundred paces. On the opposite side, behind the fence of an earthen ditch, crossbowmen were mounted, ready for battle.

At this time, the sound of drums was loud, and the two commanders on the right flank of the mountain slowly advanced forward. The two rows of sword and shield soldiers in front raised their big round shields and moved forward together. Not long after, arrows rained down on the empty and flat ground, and several people fell down in the long phalanx, all in front of them were heavy infantrymen with large wooden shields; shooting arrows from a long distance could not kill them, and the injured people screamed in pain. On the opposite side, three dense rains of arrows were released in a row, and then the arrows shot randomly, and the Huben army had advanced fifty steps.

There were only thirty steps away, and suddenly a gong sounded, and a commander shouted: "Sword and shield soldiers squat down!"

The two rows of people in front immediately squatted down, and the row of archers behind them had already drawn their bows and set their arrows. "Let go!" Immediately, a row of more than 50 arrows shot out at close range, and the archers behind also threw them into the air, "Papa..." The dense arrows suddenly set off a torrential rain on the ground.

The rebels behind the fortification thought there was a trench blocking them, but the front line was filled with light soldiers with bows and arrows, and there were countless arrows.

"Let go!" The two commanders of the Huben Army waved their swords and shouted again depending on the situation.

The light soldiers on the front of the right wing of the rebels were in a mess, with heavy casualties, and the disorderly soldiers fled behind.

At this moment, the trumpet sounded first in the mountains, and then the drums sounded loudly, and the infantry on the front line advanced forward.

Not long after, a group of sword and shield soldiers from Li Chongjin's department arrived behind the fence, and behind them were spearmen and archers, throwing arrows one after another. The right-wing Tiger Army also took advantage of the situation and made adjustments, switching to the front with pikemen; after a while, the small drums sounded, the tiger flag leaned forward, the general shouted, and the army shouted: "Kill! Kill..."

Suddenly the phalanx was shaken, and the people in front scrambled to get up. They bypassed the horse, jumped into the ditch, and climbed up. The ditch was dug temporarily, it was not deep, and most people could climb it.

A strong man covered in iron armor put his spear on it, pressed his hands on the ground to support his body up, but his heavy body flipped over quickly. Immediately, he raised the spear, and with wide eyes, he stabbed at a sword and shield behind the fence. The spear pierced through the lower edge of the round shield and pierced into the man's abdomen.

More soldiers climbed up, and the sword and shield soldiers couldn't reach through the fence, and the spearmen behind squeezed up to fight.

"Boom!" Mu Lanshan was pushed down by countless people, and everyone shouted again. A large number of Huben soldiers rushed in, and the enemy camp was in chaos, and soon a melee broke out.

The sound of heavy and orderly footsteps behind the loess sounded, and the second-line infantry was advancing.

It took less than a stick of incense to start the battle, and the front line was in contact with the enemy, and thousands of people were attacking Li Chongjin's troops from the front. The infantry on both sides had no formation at all, and they were fighting among themselves. At this time, the melee martial arts can only be manifested. There are chaotic soldiers around, and they will be hacked to death if they can't beat the enemy soldiers.

A wounded rebel soldier on the ground hugged his leg and screamed, but soon a few feet stepped on his upper leg and torso, and the wounded soldier was stepped on, and he yelled "Ah...". Finally, a Huben soldier next to him heard the cry because he couldn't squeeze in front, so he raised his knife and chopped off his head.

The limitation of such narrow and long terrain prevents troops from deploying. Looking at a large crowd of people, the maximum number of two thousand people fighting on the whole front of the two armies is very limited in terms of killing efficiency. The people behind the Huben army went up with shovels and dug soil to fill the ditch. Countless people dug soil on both sides of the ditch, and the smoke and dust were even bigger.

Not long after, Li Chongjin's infantry in front collapsed across the board. The proportion of their casualties is not high, but the soldiers will run away if they can't beat them head-on, which will affect the morale situation, and more people will collapse as soon as they run.

A large number of chaotic soldiers panicked and squeezed into the rear phalanx, which accelerated the turmoil of the camps that had not participated in the battle; the chasing soldiers of the forbidden army who had long been out of formation rushed to fight frantically, and fought with the rebels behind. The battlefield was already in disarray at this time, the dirt road on a sunny day was full of smoke and dust, and the wind blew everywhere, the generals couldn't figure out what was going on, they could only see people fighting wildly everywhere.

...Guo Shao rode his horse and led the unmoving infantry over the messy fortifications, slowly advancing forward.

At this time, the fighting in the long and narrow river valley had gradually subsided. Li Chongjin's defeated troops were killed or wounded and surrendered, while the rest had escaped from the mouth of the valley. The second and third armies of the Huben army were in disarray at this time, and everyone was probably tired, so they didn't chase too far. The generals are struggling to greet their soldiers with the intention of reorganizing into an army.

Guo Shao led his men past the rebels, and rode to the front of the valley mouth, where Li Chongjin had deployed his camp, with infantry in front and cavalry behind.

The cavalry in the rear of the imperial army were also advancing in the hazy dust. When the generals saw the tall yellow flag, they gathered one after another. Guo Shao said directly: "The whole army advances to the front of the Taniguchi formation. Dong Zunhui attacks the left wing and Shi Yanchao attacks the right wing; when the camp is breached, Yang Biao leads the infantry to attack and defeat the rebels!"

The generals who were read clasped their fists and said, "Decree!"

A large group of people pushed forward again, the army first blew the horn and then beat the drum. Immediately, the cavalry came out from both sides, Shi Yanchao led the heavy cavalry and dashed away, and the scene of the heavy cavalry galloping was very terrifying.

Dong Zunhui did not directly charge with heavy cavalry, he led light cavalry to advance to the local square formation in a long formation. When the rebel army saw the cavalry coming up, they were all densely armed with long spears in front of them, and the archers threw them for cover.

A large group of light soldiers roared past from the front of the formation, passing from left to right; Dong Zunhui stretched out his arms, and drew his bow like a full moon on his horse. This direction happened to hold the bow with his left hand and draw the string with his right, which was very convenient. With a "snap", one soldier fell to the ground, and the arrow penetrated deeply into the armor. The soldiers around Dong Zunhui were superb in martial arts. They shot arrows one after another, and their archery skills were very accurate. They still shot every arrow while running at high speed, and people kept falling in the phalanx.

The empty arrows also flew in, and most of them were light cavalry behind them. Human arrows were generally fine, and the elite ring lock armor was very strong against thrown arrows; but the horses had no armor, and when they were unlucky, a horse neighed and knelt down from time to time, throwing the cavalry to the ground. There was a horse that was not hurt by the arrow, so it ran wildly through the gap between the enemy camps, surrounded by enemy soldiers, and was immediately pulled off the horse.

Dong Zunhui galloped back and forth, and charged from the left for the second time. With a "snap", the cluster of iron arrows flew straight to the face of a soldier holding a long spear. The soldier's face was covered with blood, screaming and turning his head to run away, his terrifying face frightened the soldiers behind him.

"Papa..." The soldiers around Dong Zunhui followed his direction and fired arrows one after another. The area was very densely wounded, and there was a large area of ​​chaos and turmoil immediately.

Seeing this, Dong Zunhui yelled: "Kill!" He patted his horse and rushed up, and with another arrow, he shot dead a soldier who was about to come up behind him. The soldiers screamed strangely, passed Dong Zunhui's position, raised their knives and rushed forward, condescendingly slashing fiercely from the side. More horsemen rushed up, slashing wildly, chasing the phalanx soldiers running around.

"Ah!" A knight screamed. A cherry spear pierced his skirt armor and penetrated into his buttocks. After walking a few steps, he bumped into the slanted spear. The man fell off the horse, and the horse was still running.

A group of people surrounded the wounded cavalry, stabbing with knives and guns, screaming endlessly. At this time, several cavalry from behind rushed up side by side, a cavalry on the side raised a knife and knocked down a person, and the other pawns stepped aside one after another and huddled together. "Swish" several strings sounded, the knight's armor shot an arrow, an arrow pierced through the shoulder armor, and blood seeped out from the armor. At this time, the horse was stabbed in the chest, and the war horse knelt down on its front hooves, directly throwing the man off its back.

After a while, he suddenly saw a heavy cavalry rushing from behind, and a cavalry in front of him was condescending with a long spear. With a loud bang, the fast cherry spear pierced the infantry's armor and pierced his chest. Seeing the iron horse and iron man rolling over aggressively, those chaotic infantry turned around and fled.

A large group of cavalry penetrated into the camp, pierced through the road, and slashed and killed in a roundabout way. The battalion quickly disbanded, and countless soldiers turned around and ran away. All the cavalry pressed their backs to cover up the kill, and the left-wing soldiers and horses rushed northward like a tide.

Dong Zunhui let out a long breath, and pulled out a few arrows from his armor. When he looked up, he saw that the infantry on the right wing was still in good condition, but the camp was pierced.

Dong Zunhui looked around, the cavalry in front were chasing and killing the deserters, and the infantry and cavalry were in a mess. A large number of infantry battalions lined up behind the right wing were following Shi Yanchao's route.

"Rush forward!" Dong Zunhui turned his head and shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Everyone applauded and followed the messy crowd to kill. Among the horses, there were still some slow-moving infantry who threw away their helmets and armor and ran desperately. Dong Zunhui was not polite, and he rode his horse and shot at the deserters while riding with his bow crackling. A wave of cavalry passed by, and the deserters on the left and right turned into hedgehogs, with countless arrows.

The cavalry was in front, and the infantry chased out of the valley, and saw that the open ground on the south bank of Fenshui was in chaos, and a large number of rebels rushed eastward. Li Chongjin's cavalry fled first without firing an arrow. The road in the distance has been blocked by rebels. Countless people flocked to the road, scrambling to get across, but more and more traffic jams. Many people lost their weapons and climbed up the mountain to the south.

"Kill! Kill..." Shocking shouts came from behind. When Dong Zunhui looked back, he saw that the Imperial Army infantry had dispersed and came running in groups. The entire southeast bank of Fenshui is full of chaotic people running around on the ground, looking from a distance like a colony of ants that has been frightened and scattered.
