Chapter 335: Battles that have never been seen before
In the Central Plains, the north was in chaos, and in the northwest, Shu had been in a long period of peace. Except for three years ago, the Yunnan Dachanghe Kingdom was repelled from the north and invaded western Sichuan, so it took less weapons.
Now that the northern enemies are heading south to eastern Sichuan, most of the men and women in Shu are passionate, and the generals are veterans on the battlefield, so they are naturally disdainful of Chang'an's "women soldiers".
Twenty miles south of Bazhou, Yangti Ridge, cloudy.
The 40,000 Shu troops had arrows in the past, and the left and right armies were flanks and pushed sideways slowly overturned forward.
The second battle in ten years was only a small fight compared to the invasion of the Dachanghe Kingdom of Yunnan three years ago.
Kill them, capture the other generals or heads to Chengdu, and dispel the angry emperor's idea of personally escorting. Wang Zongkan took the opportunity to prove that among the emperor's many adopted sons, he was not inferior to Wang Zongbi and others.
"Beat the drum and send a command to the front army. Without my generals, we are not allowed to retreat. We will defeat the invading enemy. Capture the enemy general and get two bounties. The entire army will drink for three days!"
Wow~~
The horn of the cavalry sounded, and on the three drum cars, the man with bare arms exposed struggled to beat the drum surface. The powerful and rhythmic drum beats accelerated the speed with the advancement of the 40,000 Shu troops.
A large shield with animal fangs on the front was placed in front of him. His hands and hands quickly inserted into the gun forest and pulled the arrows, and he walked up to the sky. At this time, the array of 40,000 Yong soldiers on the opposite side remained motionless, without even showing any timidity. Both sides looked at each other as they extended over black.
"What are their ideas to use defense instead of attacking and to slapped my spirit?"
As soon as the land was as fast as an arrow, there was still no movement on the other side, which made Wang Zongkan frown and suspicious. However, this was only a brief doubt for him and would not have much impact on the battle situation. The elite soldiers and horses in Shu, regardless of their belief in defending their country, have had major battles in recent years, and the soldiers have had more or less fighting experiences.
On the other hand, the Chang'an Yong Army fought against Tubo with the help of the Dangxiang people and the exaggerated words of Lei Gong to fool the village men and women. If they wanted to believe the generals in the army, they would rather believe that the steel knife in their hands came from more real.
At present, he only brought 50,000 people south. In the news that he sent back, he had never seen even the baggage. It can be seen that the lonely army went deep into the deep without food and fodder, which was undoubtedly a search for death. Even if the opponent was lucky enough to win the battle, the Shu army could replenish the troops on the spot and drag them out until the opponent was out of food and people were in panic.
The advantages are all here.
Wang Zongkan thought about it and couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and raised his hand again: "Tell me the order, the front formation will break through the enemy's middle formation, forcing the Yong Bing to split out its wings to rescue, while our army's wings deviate from the opponent's back formation and penetrate into the battlefield from the side!"
The moment the word "field" fell, his words suddenly changed, and he let out a long whisper of doubt, and then said: "Change the formation?"
On the other end of his vision, he passed the 40,000-propelled Shu army below. The Yong army array opposite was in a very orderly manner. In a moment, the Yong army's front formation moved quietly, the shield wall separated from left to right, and thirty gaps were opened. Something black was pushed to the front row by the soldiers, and the big shield stood on both sides of the "strange thing" to defend against arrows.
Dong! Dongdong! Dongdong!
The war drum urged the Shu army to advance.
With an arrow, in the advancement array, the walking Shu army archers let go of the bowstrings, and the freely scattered arrows flew away, passing through the crowds of people advancing below. The long arc and sharp arrows were nailed to the big shield. There was also a "bang" sound, piercing the edge of the round hole of the "strange guy" and bounced back to the ground.
"Prepare!" A scream came.
The array of shield-lifting infantry breathed rapidly and their pace became faster and faster. When the opposite side roared "preparation", the dozens of black objects spreading unfolded inexplicably oppressed, which made them feel a sense of terror and their breathing became heavier.
After a moment of fighting, the atmosphere has solidified.
The three formations of the Shu army were advancing, and they stomped on the ground like an angry tide. The shields in front of them gritted their teeth, and the faces and expressions of the enemy soldiers in front became clearly visible.
The deputy general Li Jian, who led the attack, rode on the horse and stared at the unmoving enemy formation with the surging waves. The sound of "preparation" made him feel a little bad premonition.
He looked back at the middle formation, pinched the reins and weapons in his hand, then raised one hand, pointed the tip of the knife to the sky, and looked forward.
Roar: "Don't retreat, kill--"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The yelling of the waves was raised in the crowd. Looking at the enemy formation that was getting closer and closer, the guns pressed down and poked out of the shield wall. The archer retreated and went back to the back. The shield's teeth were gritted suddenly loosened, and what was hysterical roar: "Kill--"
Among the countless screams, there was a loud bang of "boom!" breaking, and the next moment, more roars and thunder came.
The huge fire light soared into the sky in front of the Shu army soldiers' eyes. Something black broke through the fire wave and flew over with a loud sound. Before he could even take an arrow, a spherical black shadow suddenly attacked and hit the screaming Shu army shield. The fierce shouting came to an abrupt end. The shield pressed in front of him shattered, and his body flew backwards, and the two spear-holding comrades behind him knocked to the ground.
"What?"
"Get up!" "That thing is still on fire!"
In the tilted array, someone stepped forward to help his companions up. In his eyes, the iron lump that had smashed the person over and a fire was burning rapidly. When he saw it, it had already burned inside.
Then, the huge fire light rushed away, and the nearest one was directly lifted by a height of half a meter. The air waves that broke out, countless torn iron sheets, copper sheets, and iron filings splattered wildly among the crowd, all of which were hard to hear. More than ten people around him fell down instantly. The iron sheets tore the arms, chest, face, and heads of the people. The undead soldiers rolled and wailed with their broken limbs. This scene scared the rest of the Shu soldiers in the array. There was a huge roar in their ears.
At some point.
More iron lumps passed through the sky with loud noises, passed the front shield soldiers, and fell into the Shu army array. More than twenty heavy iron balls sucked on the human body, which was a sense of broken blood and blood. However, as the last bit of the iron ball rolling from the human body burned out, a terrible scene rose again.
A huge ball of flames and a terrifying roar were like blooming flowers rising forward and backward, rushing into the sky, and countless iron sheets, copper sheets, and iron filings shot out, tearing the surrounding crowds, carrying flesh, residual limbs, cloth sheets, and armor sheets lifted up into the sky. After rushing, they fell down one after another, falling on people's faces, with bloody rain curtains on their bodies.
A soldier took the foreign object from his face, which was half a human ear. He raised his face and in an instant, blood rain dripped down.
The power of the thirty iron cannons is not great, but the scene created by the soldiers of this era is terrifying. The commanders of each box are very scared and still have rational greetings to the soldiers under his command who are gradually in chaos, and then look back at the commander flag in the middle formation.
Wang Zongkan sat on his mount, half-raising his hand. The explosion shock made his head blank. The orders that had previously deployed to mobilize soldiers were stuck in his throat and it was difficult to say it.
He has experienced a long battle formation and has no idea how to deal with these things. This is something he has never seen or heard of.
After a moment, the Yong army array opposite in the distance sounded the sound of a horn. The standing Yong army array began to move with the horn.
"It's over..."
Wang Zongkan stuttered in his mouth, and the cavalry in his ears made him come to his senses. He hurriedly ordered: "Send the order! Send the order! Order it on the spot and prepare for the battle!"
The horns of the orders were crazily played out, but the army formation was already in a chaotic trend. The commanders of each box tried hard to suppress it. The disciplined team could quickly reorganize the formation and make a defensive posture on the spot. However, among the 40,000 people, more frightened soldiers were shouting like crazy. The frightened war horses pulled the struggling knights on the ground and ran around.
The same moment.
The Yong army, who was advancing from the opposite side, almost all the troops came out. Geng Nian, was excitedly pinched the hilt of the knife and was escorted by several tall personal soldiers in the queue. There was also a cold-faced and thin figure next to it.
As the Shu army approached the chaos and wandering array, the pace became faster and faster.
"Run--" It was Shi Jingtang's voice. He rode a horse and rushed forward to raise his gun and roared.
The moment the voice was heard, behind him, the 40,000 Yong soldiers on both sides also shouted, and their steps were roaring to the ground, thundering out, then they kicked out, and rushed out one after another, keeping the array in charge, and ramming into the front formation of the Shu army.
“Ahhhh——”
Geng Nian felt the sound of shouting, and his breath became hot. He held the blade and wanted to keep up, but was pulled by the tall, thin and cold follower beside him and slowed down his speed.
Around them, figures of soldiers crossed them and threw themselves into the arms of the Shu army. What caught Geng Nian's eyes were countless flesh and blood, iron armor, and weapons. The human body was squeezed and torn apart under the sword.
The blood was coming back, and Geng Nian held the hilt of the knife and his body trembled faintly.
And those who were also trembling were also under the Shu Army Commander. Wang Zongkan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with bloodshots.
"Hold on...Hold on--"
In such a head-on situation, any order almost loses its meaning and can only rely on the confrontation between the soldiers and the soldiers' will. The generals of the Yong army on the opposite side may have such attention and their experience is not as good as Wang Zongkan. Then use this method to fight the Shu army first and then entangle with the military formation, causing confusion of orders, which makes Wang Zongkan unable to fully display his experience in the battle formation.
After two cups of tea, the battle line broke out like a dam. The front of the Shu army was killed and destroyed. The Yong army soldiers who pushed away the blood waves and corpses poured out like a torrent and rushed into a larger array.
Wang Zongkan kept issuing orders, and the collapsed team gathered and rectified, pulled up again, and then continued to collapse. The scattered defeated soldiers rushed into their own array to stir up chaos, or took advantage of the chaos to hide in the surrounding forests.
That afternoon, thousands of people were fighting and wandering around in the vast field. In the chaos, Wang Zongkan took his personal guards to take the opportunity to get down to the high ground and escape backwards.
Suizhou.
The Shu army camp, which stretched for more than ten miles, welcomed the emperor's flag. Wang Zongyao, Wang Zongwan and Wang Zongkui stood respectfully at the gate, looking at the imperial chariot slowly coming over the official road, took off the iron helmet, and lowered their heads.
The heavy shaft stopped, and the old emperor lifted the curtain and nodded at them.
"Follow me to enter the account."
