Chapter 306: Battle (1)

Xiong Dewu, commander of the Hailing Camp under the command of the Dingzhou Yishan Division, was a salt worker. He was very brave and fierce. The direct confidant of the general of the Yishan Division, Gu Shanfeng, was the 5,000 soldiers of the Hailing Camp under the command were all from Hailing in Fuzhou, but most of them were salt workers. After Gu Shanfeng disguised himself as Fuzhou to recruit this salt worker team, the soldiers selected from the rebellious salt worker team were vigorously cultivated by Gu Shanfeng. Now in the Yishan Division, their combat effectiveness is even better than Jiang Heiniu's Jianrui Camp. The reason is that they have an extremely brave battalion general.

When Xiong Dewu first entered the army, his favorite thing was to take off his shirt, go into battle with bare shirt, and lead a group of desperate people to rush forward, as the arrowheads of the entire army. Therefore, Xiong Dewu's personal soldiers had the highest casualty rate, but they were also the most respected in the camp, because it was impossible for people who were not brave enough to stand beside Xiong Dewu and become the arrowheads of the entire army.

The more battles were fought, the more and more, the personal guards around Xiong Dewu changed one after another, and the scars on his own were stacked, but his reputation among the Mountain Moved Army was getting bigger and bigger, and he was more and more respected by the Mountain Feng. Whenever there was a tough battle, the first thing that Feng Shanfeng thought of was him.

Today, the general and his wife came to the battlefield. Although Tinig had not suffered any losses before, he did not gain any advantage. Now it was his turn to move the mountain, so the mountain Feng naturally wanted to show his skills. If Li Qingyanli had not forbidden the main general to fight in person until the last moment, he really wanted to fight with a mace himself, but sending Xiong Dewu should be able to successfully realize his combat intentions.

The square formation headed by the Hailing Camp is headed by Xiong Dewu. The outer layer of the tight square formation is chariot soldiers, spearmen and shields, and inside are knife and axe soldiers and crossbowmen. With the command of the sentry officer, they advance in an orderly manner. Xiong Dewu, as the commander of the battalion, was carrying a big axe in one hand and a shield polished on all sides in the other hand, and pushed forward firmly. Beside him, he followed a signal soldier with several small flags of different colors on his waist. Xiong Dewu needed to coordinate and command the entire battalion through him.

In the battle between the barbarians and Li Qing's Dingzhou army, the most troublesome thing about the barbarians was how to defeat the dense infantry combat formations of the opponent with cavalry. Especially after the Dingzhou army equipped the chariots loaded with crossbows into the infantry queue, the Dingzhou infantry became their nightmare. If they had heavy cavalry like the guards of the Great Chu Palace, they could break the opponent's formation, but even with the prosperity of the Great Chu, they only formed heavy cavalry with thousands of people. This thing was a money-burning item, which was not affordable for the barbarians.

"Yalisi!" Boyan summoned a general and pointed at the Dingzhou army approaching step by step. "Did you see the other party's siege cloud chariots? I'll give you five thousand cavalry, and you rush out to destroy them. Remember, don't try to break their infantry phalanx, because it can't be chewed down in a short time, and once they are entangled, it will be difficult to get out. All you have to do is to do is do your best to have their siege cloud chariots before their infantry rushed to our first line of defense. In this way, in the subsequent positional offensive and defensive battles, we can use chest walls, fortresses, and trenches to give the other party a lot of damage, but if the other party has enough cloud chariots and suppress us from a high position, our losses will be great. Do you understand what I mean?"

At about forty years, Yalisi, who was bearded for a year, nodded fiercely and said, "Sir, I understand, destroy the cloud car."

Boyan nodded with satisfaction, "After destroying the cloud car, lead your troops back from the left bypassing the frontal battlefield."

The long-range catapult cart hidden on the barbarian position began to fire stone bullets, and the Eight Niu Crossbow also burst into the air with a scream. More powerful crossbows and crossbows also roared. Hailing Camp shouted, the shield players raised their shields high, and the iron shields formed a screen in the air. The chariot soldiers on the periphery tried their best to shrink their bodies and pressed against the chariot wall, while the spearmen raised their spears together and kept shaking in the air.

When the stone bullet fell, the stone bullet weighing more than ten kilograms was hit at a long range, but its strength was not supported by human forces. If the bullet body happened to fall into the crowd, it would immediately make a gap. Fortunately, although the raised shield could not stop the stone bullet, it greatly consumed its initial power when it hit. However, due to time, the barbarians did not polish these stone bullets, so the damage caused was still within the controllable range.

As soon as the opponent's catapult car moved, the Dingzhou soldiers on the cloud car immediately locked the opponent's position. The four modified eight-ox crossbows placed on the cloud car quickly adjusted the angle and aimed. With the sound of the plaque, a group of eight-ox crossbow arrows, like spears, were shot out to suppress the opponent. At the same time, the powerful crossbows and crossbows also began to shoot at the opponent from a high point from the cloud car.

The Hailing Camp continued to suffer casualties, but did not stop at all.

"Strike!" Yalisi pulled out a scimitar and hit the horse's thigh with a backhand. Five thousand cavalry burst out from the position. At this time, they were still five hundred steps away from Hailing Camp, which allowed them to increase the speed of horses to the highest level over this distance. He used strong horsepower to hit the opponent's chariot and used the way to fill human lives to kill a bloody road. This was the most helpless move of the barbarians to deal with this turtle-shell infantry formation.

If the opponent is not Dingzhou Army, or if the opponent's armor is poor, the barbarian cavalry can also use the technique of rushing and constantly use bows and arrows to kill the enemy on the periphery. However, now the opponent's soldiers are generally equipped with iron armor. The cavalry's bows and arrows shoot on them are extremely limited. On long-distance shooting, the Dingzhou Army's crossbows have caused greater damage to the barbarians. First, because Dingzhou soldiers have used armor-breaking arrows in large quantities. Second, the barbarian soldiers cannot equip soldiers with iron armor on a large scale like Dingzhou. Many soldiers can only wear leather armor.

Compared with the two, the barbarians who are good at riding and shooting actually found that their superb shooting skills have become a joke in front of the opponent's excellent equipment. For example, the barbarians are scared of a hundred strikes, what's the point? It's purely a large-scale covered attack. Using his super high firing speed and terrifying force, the living things that are blocking the front are sweeping away. If you have been practicing archery skills for more than ten years, you have no chance to perform in front of him, because he can shoot hundreds of shots at one shot, and it is already a rare master who can shoot three shots in the lightning.

Under the cover of firepower on the position, Yalisi's five thousand cavalry came in line with several long dragons. Such a formation was of course to guard against the terrifying Baifa Crossbow in Dingzhou, and to reduce the attack surface as much as possible, reduce the opponent's attack surface, and minimize the threat of Baifa Crossbow.

Within a hundred steps, a buzzing sound was heard, and the vehicle-borne crossbow began to fire, and the short crossbow, like a dark cloud, shot out flat. In an instant, there were such short crossbows before the human eyes. Even though Tienig had seen the power of the crossbows in a battle a while ago, every time he saw it, it still made him frightened. Although he thought about this weapon day and night, Dingzhou did not equip him with it.

Yalisi's forwards tried to lower their bodies, raised their shields, and tried their best to protect themselves and their horses. Although they knew that this was just a matter of doing their jobs and left them to fate, under such density of shooting, the chance of not being shot was not high, except for God's blessing. Whether it was a mesmerist or a mesmerist, it was enough to kill them in charge at such a speed. Fortunately, the 10-fire crossbow was troublesome, and under the rapid impact of the cavalry, there was basically only one launch opportunity, and then it became a simple city wall for the opponent's infantry.

The forwards fell into the dust, but they used their bodies to consume the opponent's most fierce round of strikes. After this round of shooting, Yalisi's cavalry quickly turned into a scattered formation. The front team waved heavy weapons, hammers, hammers, and iron bones. The cavalry behind bent their bows and arrows and shot upwards.

Behind Hailing Camp, under the Li banner, Li Qing frowned slightly. The barbarians were indeed proficient in military tactics. If they were able to deal with it, they would minimize the losses.

It's approaching!

The Hailing Camp square quickly closed, and the chariots moved closer together. The spearmen behind the chariots raised a spear of more than meter in their hands. The chariot soldiers drew out their short swords and prepared to cover the spearmen. Behind them, the crossbowmen began to shoot against their opponents.

With a loud bang, the barbarians running to the front of the chariot waved their heavy weapons, either hitting them on the chariot, or flying into the formation of spears, smashing the soldiers of Hailing Camp, and they kept falling under the crossbows shot out from behind the chariot. These barbarians who flew out the heavy weapons in their hands did not circumnavigate on both sides as before, but suddenly lifted their horses and leaped high in a roar. Although the galloping horses were afraid of the sharp blades in front of them, they still had to jump high under the forced force of the knights on their backs, and rushed to the death hell ahead. In the air, the knights pulled out the scimitar from their waists and fell down with red eyes. As long as they were not stabbed to death in the air, they would have a chance to slash.

The desperate fighting style made the battle reach its most cruel moment at the beginning. Blood fell from the air. Most of the barbarians who flew into the air before they could not wait to fall, and were stabbed to death by long sharp spears in the air and threw them out of the formation. Fortunately, the only chance of falling down was to be swung and killed by the sword and shield soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. However, the heavy fallen war horses caused a lot of casualties in Hailing Camp. The chariots and front soldiers were filled with thick layers of corpses. The dense formations appeared blank.

Xiong Dewu was furious. Seeing that the opponent's galloping horse had slowed down, he immediately ordered that the Hailing Camp, which had been closed together, suddenly split into dozens of small square formations and rushed into the other party's queue. Xiong Dewu called Wu Shin and took the axe and killed him.
