Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

A large number of people and flags surging in the distance filled in one after another. Some people stopped in place, some people in front continued to move forward, and the cavalry on both wings were also moving. On the hillside farther away, the cavaliers are also moving according to a certain pattern. There are hundreds of thousands of people, like a huge war machine, moving slowly and making loud noises!

In this backward era dominated by small-scale peasant economy and nomadic herding, countless people showed the highest degree of organization of the era on the battlefield, and also concentrated a large amount of resources within the reach of productivity.

Guo Shao stood on the hillside, observing every place deep in the mist without saying a word. It can be seen that the rhythm of the coalition attack is very calm... They deployed a cavalry force between the front and back of the Xu army, monitored Cao Bin's troops, and concentrated their forces to bite the 40,000 Xu army infantry of the former army in this ravine. It seems that the situation is really good.

Guo Shao paid attention to the wooden stakes on the battlefield. About 1,200 feet away from Xu Jun's front line, the coalition forces had gathered more than 50,000 infantry and lined up there. There are hundreds of square formations alone, forming a large formation with a wide width and a great depth.

The main force of the enemy cavalry is still further behind, and the cavalry on the two wings of the advancing infantry have different armors, and they look ragged, not like the fine cavalry of the Liao army.

After a while, the forward infantry of the coalition army continued to advance up the slope without stopping, with a strength of about 4,000, or maybe 5,000. Down the hillside, the drums were loud.

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

On the hillside, a row of messengers waved the two-color flag with both hands in unison, with a red heart on the left hand and a black heart on the right hand. The red flag goes backwards and the black flag goes forward, dancing alternately and repeatedly.

Immediately, the generals shouted and cursed loudly from all the frontal formations of Xu Jun. The troops of the various ministries immediately staggered, and the four rows of infantry with spears in front turned around and passed through the gap between the arms and hands of the formation behind; then the heavy infantry in plate armor and helmet with sword and shield in the rear moved to the front.

The enemy soldiers had already come up the gentle hillside with all kinds of weapons. Countless people trampled the loess to fill the air with dust, "Wow..." The strange sound was like a large group of wild beasts rushing out of the mountain.

The generals of Xu Jun all stared round their eyes, staring at the red-eyed crowd who were getting closer and closer, like savages wearing iron plates, holding knives, guns, sticks and shields.

A general in the crowd above shouted: "Da Xu will win!"

"Long live..." The shouts of all the troops suppressed the noise on the battlefield. "Drink!" The heavy infantrymen in a neat array raised their finely crafted iron-clad wooden shields, and placed their one-handed swords on top of the shields.

A group of enemy soldiers in the middle rushed over within a hundred steps, shouting and screaming. The screams made no sense, but the people's voices were full of nervousness, fear, and angry roars.

"Get ready!" "Get ready..." the commanders drew their swords and shouted.

"Bang!" A gong sounded, and a commanding god in the middle raised the bow and arrow without aiming.

"Let it go!" "Let it go..."

In an instant, enemy soldiers from all over the horizontal direction rushed forward, and arrows flew up and down in the air. The falling arrows hit Xu Jun's iron armor with a "jingling" sound, and there was a scream from time to time.

In the middle one, first of all, there was a hand-to-hand combat. There were many people in the crowd, and only swords were waving. In fact, people swing their weapons very slowly, and they always swing them vigorously! Too little force is useless, both sides are holding shields, and Xu Jun is also wearing heavy armor.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" A party man yelled and hit Xu Jun's shield with his wooden shield. With the momentum, the soldier took half a step back and stopped his horse. The Dangxiang man immediately swung his mace down, hitting the shoulder armor with the first bang, which made the soldier yell, and the shield fell off, but he immediately picked up the iron sword and stabbed at the gap in the Dangxiang wooden shield, blood splashed all over his face.

A Xu soldier next to him was stabbed into the breastplate with a knife, screaming in pain.

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

The heavy infantry in the front are fighting bloody battles, the front is crazy enemy soldiers, and the back is a dense formation of their own. There is no way forward and backward, so we can only fight desperately!

The general yelled not far away: "Whoever takes a step back, cut!"

The military band played passionate tunes with horizontal drums and horns, and the civil servants of the orderly system for every hundred people were loudly boosting morale.

The crowd on the hillside of the feature film|The handover line, the screams and shouts are louder than the sound of drums.

People were panting heavily, sweating and exhaling white steam in the cold air. Elite soldiers are first of all strong and strong men, because fighting to death takes no effort! Wearing armor weighing dozens of catties, the strength of the step bow is easily a stone, and it will feel exhausted after pulling it a few times.

Hearing the shout of "ready", a soldier with magical arms opened his bow and set an arrow, took a deep breath and clenched his teeth. At this moment, he saw an infantry brother directly in front of him slashing at an enemy soldier next to him, and another enemy soldier in front picked up his spear and rushed over with all his strength. In an instant, the archer didn't think much, and immediately turned his bow and arrow, and shot at the nearest one with a "snap".

The infantryman of the Xu Army found an arrow suddenly stuck in the forehead of the enemy soldier in front of him. He was afraid for a while and looked back.

... The square banner of the Chinese Army has the word "Xu" written on it, flying in the wind. Guo Shao and his subordinates stood motionless in place, watching the yellow dust and bloody storm ahead. The soldiers stood there without going into battle, but their bodies tensed up, staring at them.

The drummer not far away was kicking his splayed feet, holding the trumpet tightly, as if he was about to charge and kill. The shouts on the hillside resounded, forming a "buzzing..." noise. Loud yelling came from not far away from time to time, during which the voice of "De Ling" was short and powerful, extremely tense.

At this time, a member of the Ministry turned his head, hesitated to speak, and finally did not say anything.

Guo Shao had already seen with his own eyes that the enemy's second batch of infantry was advancing in formation, and this time there were more people, maybe tens of thousands! And the fight ahead is still going on!

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

wheel tactics.

Those enemy troops with messy armor and weapons on the battlefield look like savages, but they are obviously not real primitive people, and their tactics cannot be underestimated. There have been wars in the northwest for thousands of years, and there are "military advisers" from Daliao in the coalition forces. They are not good people. Liao is a real powerful country, and its influence once surpassed that of the Central Plains. Many countries far away in the north regard Daliao as "China".

Guo Shao looked at the signs of order in the chaos on the battlefield, and finally said: "Send the order, use the siege cannon to assist the front-line infantry!"

"Decree!"

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

The siege mortar with a huge muzzle and a thick|short barrel on the gun carriage was half buried in the soil. A general took a look at the military order, passed it to the military staff at the side, immediately pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Your Majesty's decree, the Iron Cannon Battalion is fighting! Order the Iron Cannon teams to prepare to fire!"

Amidst the yelling, the soldiers simply tore out the straw paper blocking the muzzle, which had already been filled with gunpowder and stone bullets.

The muzzles of more than two dozen black cannons were facing the sky obliquely. Hearing a "bang" sound of the gong, there was a shout: "Let go!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Shocks like thunder sounded one after another, and the earth trembled.

On the gentle slope, a row of white smoke was seen rising one by one, and the flames sprayed out of the smoke brilliantly. The momentum was huge, but the stone bombs didn't fly fast, and they were huge. They flew into the air with the appearance of being visible to the eyes, and fell into the crowd of coalition troops by virtue of their weight.

Nearly a hundred catties of stones fell from mid-air, and below was the dense formation of the coalition infantry battalion, spreading all over the place. The stone cannons could hit anyone casually, but only a few hit the open space between the phalanxes.

The entire battalion of iron cannons fired a volley into the dense crowd of enemy soldiers, killing and injuring dozens of enemy soldiers immediately!

The stone bomb fell between the dry and hard loess sand, and the loess and dust were splashed like smoke from an explosion! Some hit people directly, some cracked, and the rocks flew up, and one or two people who were unlucky around were injured.

However, the shelling really made the Dangxiang soldiers panic and shocked. They were hit several hundred feet away, and the general soldiers did not expect it.

The scene was horrific. On the loess, a soldier lay sprawled there, his head was smashed, and blood and white pulp splashed all over the ground. In another place, the bloody liver and intestines were all in a pool of blood. Some soldiers were screaming while clutching their cheeks injured by stones.

In the large phalanx that Dang Xiang had just stepped forward, there was some confusion everywhere, and the speed of advancement was also slow. People looked up at the sky.

However, Xu Jun's artillery fired once, and then fell silent. The iron cannon only carried a battalion of 500 people, and it was very troublesome to clean and reload the cannon in one round.

This worked, too, as the second batch of enemy soldiers was stunned by the artillery fire for a while, disrupting the rhythm of the attack rotation. Xu Jun repelled the enemy soldiers in front of him and won a respite. The leaders and ten generals hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat in columns. The commanders of the second echelon above advance in horizontal formations, and there is a gap between the commanders, allowing the columns in front to retreat.

Guo Shao was still looking at the hill above the large cavalry on the opposite side, and there were people standing there. The two sides are far apart, but they are far away from a wide valley, as if they are looking at each other.
