Chapter 564
The roar of the Liaodong Army made the soldiers of the aristocratic coalition even more ugly.
It was already dawn. Looking at the imperial court's soldiers and horses, the array was neat and strict, the soldiers were well-armed, the flags were waving like the sea, the sword light was like snow, and the spear was like forest. A strong sense of murderous aura was filled with the array.
Before fighting, the morale of the coalition forces declined.
Lu Che's face was pale, but when he saw that Lujiabao was surrounded and was in the hands of the left-behind family generals in the city, he felt relieved. In Lujiabao, not only his family members, but also most of the Lu family members. If Lujiabao is broken, the Lu family will definitely have no intention of fighting.
The longer the time goes by, the more likely it is that the Lu family castle is to be captured by the imperial army.
Lu Che did not dare to drag on it, and immediately ordered to take the lead in attacking the imperial troops.
Facing the morning snow and snow, the coalition forces began to slowly move towards the front.
Countless peasants wearing simple animal skins and gasping for breath were holding spears and spears, while the private soldiers of the aristocratic clans were all wearing simple bright light armor. While waving their weapons, they shouted, "Kill!" and "Roar!" to help themselves, their voices were earth-shaking.
The black queues rushed to the court's position like a tide. The drums rolled and the horns were ringing. The soldiers gradually became excited, as if they had forgotten the panicked escape last night.
The Liaodong Army's formation was still unmoving. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the aristocratic coalition forces, the Liaodong Army's camp was in awe.
The mountain-like spear forest is erected high towards the sky, and the wind blows the flag, making a sound of rushing.
The sound of horse hooves continued to rush, and the commanders riding war horses ran through the passage between various square formations, loudly uttering the command: "Hold on the ground!", "Be prepared!"
The infantry in the front row squatted down obediently, inserted their shields and spears deep into the mud, forming a defensive formation that was spread out in a row. From a distance, countless thorns seemed to bloom on the iron wall of the copper wall.
Behind the formation, a team of 10,000 people, and the crossbowmen were already lined up in ten columns, and were placing arrows on their strong bows and crossbows. Their expression was cold.
On the whole array, there are five thousand light cavalry, spreading on both wings, guarding the flanks of the infantry phalanx.
When the two armies approached a distance of 100 steps, the unsustainable coalition archers took the lead in firing the arrows.
The flying arrows in the air fell into the dense queue of the Liaodong Army, and from time to time a blood flower and moaned. The Liaodong soldiers who were caught fell down without saying a word, and the soldiers in the back row stood forward without making a sound, making up for the vacancy in the queue.
The generals in the infantry formation called an order: "Rise the shield!"
Suddenly, the shield players raised their shields to the sky to cover the sky. Looking from above, the front row of the entire Liaodong Army camp showed a metal reflection, as if they had suddenly had a metal roof. Suddenly, the coalition's arrows shot the shield wall twitching, but they could not cause any damage.
"Brothers, rush for Hebei!" In front of the coalition forces, Zhao Kuang, who was knocked away by a heavy knight last night, was awakened and was appointed as the commander of the coalition forces' front line.
"Crash! Kill!" The coalition soldiers in Hebei screamed hysterically, and used huge shouts to reduce their fear. With a roar like thunder, the coalition launched a charge. They ran forward with great strides and rushed towards the enemy formation with a surging momentum. The gray crowd rushed like waves, expanding, and the shouts of killing were earth-shaking.
The entire queue rushed towards the Liaodong Army's formation. The momentum was amazing.
When they rushed to about 60 steps, the general in front of the Liaodong Army infantry formation waved his hand: "Let go!"
The first row of crossbowmen stood up and shot arrows. The dense rain of arrows hit the coalition forces like a heavy rain. At this distance, the damage caused was very terrifying. There was a shocking noise, "Ah, ah..." screams continued, and the hundreds of soldiers who rushed in the front fell halfway.
The successors fought forward bravely. However, the crossbows equipped by the Liaodong Army crossbowmen team were all continuous shooting crossbows, and the strings were put in advance. There were seven crossbow arrows in the box, which could be shot continuously without loading. At this time, the first row of crossbowmen of the Liandong Army had already squatted down and turned the strings for their crossbow machines. The second row of crossbow archers began to shoot again, and another terrible metal storm was involved in the middle of the coalition, and the continuous seven consecutive shootings made more coalition soldiers fall to the ground.
Next was the third row and the fourth row... Due to the lack of defensive equipment of the aristocratic coalition forces and the casualties were particularly heavy when they were attacked by crossbows. Although many soldiers had temporarily found various defensive items before the battle, such as pot lids to block their chests, this small wooden pot lid could not stop the fierce crossbow arrows of the Liaodong Army. Just at the fifty steps in front of the Liaodong Army's formation, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties. The people who had just put down their hoes from the fields and picked up weapons had already fallen to the ground before they approached the infantry formation of the Liaodong Army.
"Run!" A large area of people fell down by the bow and arrow, and the crowds of the forefront had become sparse, but the aristocratic officers who were supervising the battle behind ignored these. They asked their personal guards to hold the big swords of bows and arrows, and dared not move forward in the face of the battle, and immediately stepped forward and waved them to cut off the head.
Driven by the officers who were supervising the battle behind, countless coalition soldiers helped to hold up wooden guns, horizontal knives, iron forks and other weapons, and they rushed towards the court one after another.
The front row of the Liaodong Army's gunmen exhaled and shouted in unison: "Kill!" The shield flipped, and countless guns stabbed forward at the same time, stabbing hundreds of coalition soldiers who rushed to the front.
More soldiers rushed up angrily, but were hit by a rain of arrows, and their bodies were shot like hedgehogs, and they fell to the ground screaming.
The coalition soldiers fell to the ground one by one, but the aristocratic officers behind forced more soldiers to go up one by one, but they repelled one by one. In front of the Liaodong Army, there was pungent blood in the air and the red mist was misty. The snow in front of the formation had already been melted by the hot blood of these soldiers.
Their blood flows without any value.
The Liaodong Army's phalanx is simply a highly efficient killing machine with both offense and defense. Although the soldiers in Hebei have been one after another, the gap between weapons and strength is quite ruthless. Compared with the well-trained and well-equipped Liaodong Army's regular army, the civilian army is too far apart. Before even the front shield formation was broken, the coalition forces had already suffered thousands of casualties. In front of the Liaodong Army, they were covered with corpses and suffered heavy casualties. The surging attack wave of the coalition forces was like waves pounced on the reefs, smashing them all.
Many aristocratic officers in the coalition also discovered this tragic situation, and many people had a hidden request to temporarily withdraw their troops in search of better fighter jets.
However, at this time, Lu Che's thoughts were all on Lujiabao behind the Liaodong Army. He was worried that if he dragged on, the foundation of their Lu family would be compromised by the court and be eliminated in one fell swoop. Faced with the pleading of these aristocratic generals, he refused to let them go without hesitation.
"On the battlefield, we will either live or die, and the two armies will fight to the death. If we retreat at this time, the morale and morale of the army will never be restored. If the court pursues us, we will die without a place to bury us. If we send orders to continue attacking and take the lead in breaking the formation, we will reward ten taels of gold and a hundred acres of land."
Lu Che's words left nothing to say. Now they have rebelled, either defeating the court, and Hebei will be theirs in the future. Or they are defeated by the court, and from then on, the families will be completely destroyed and the clans and barbarians will be destroyed.
One by one, the generals of the aristocratic clans personally carried swords and guns, and drove the horses to the front line, driving the soldiers to continue attacking.
Under the big flag in the Liaodong Army's formation, Li Benlei, Zhang He, Chen Lin, Chen Shan and others have been paying close attention to the situation of the coalition forces.
"Master, the rebels have been hit by such a suicide-like impact for almost two hours. Now the morale of the army has dropped to the extreme. And since last night, they have not eaten for a day. The rebels are tired and exhausted, and the morale of the army is lost. It seems that it is time for us to counterattack."
Chen Shan also said, "If the general was not allowed to attack with bombs, I think these rebels would have disbanded."
Li Benlei sighed and said, "What is really damn is the aristocratic families and the powerful landlords in those places. These people are just a group of poor people who cannot help but have to do so. The gunpowder is extremely powerful and can kill more people. It may also cause these aristocratic families to escape directly when the situation is not good."
"But until now, the rebels are tired and exhausted, and their physical strength and morale are not much. It's time to decide the world in one fell swoop." Li Benlei nodded.
Zhang He stepped forward and asked for an order, "Master General, after half a day of rest, my troops have been restored. Please let me fight in the Pojun Camp."
Li Benlei pondered for a moment, "Okay, when the counterattack begins, you will lead the Po Military Camp to rush straight to the opponent's royal flag, which is where the rebel leader is. Just grabbing that big flag is considered a great achievement in Po Military Camp."
"Thank you, Marshal!"
"I passed the order of the general to let the engineer battalion fire smoke bombs and shot bombs, and the entire army counterattack. Then the command of the light cavalry to attack from both sides, and no one is allowed to be spared. Those who surrender can be exempted from being killed. Those who resist and do not surrender will be killed on the spot!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The trumpeter sounded the trumpet of counterattack.
The Liaodong Army camp heard a roar like thunder, "Long live Pojun!"
The projectile chariots hidden in the infantry formation were unused one after another and were disguised. The soldiers of the engineering battalion loaded bombs one by one and ignited them and shot them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A shocking and violent explosion continued to sound, and a fire light followed by a burst of fire from the Hebei coalition forces soared into the sky, and a fierce counterattack began.
