The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 789 Purgatory
Wang Qi's armor was soaked in blood, and his leg was stabbed by a Han soldier. Fortunately, the skirt armor he was wearing provided him with some protection, so that he would not lose his combat power. The spear left behind on his leg. His injury is not serious, and he can barely support.

Wang Qi leaned on the spear in his hand and barely stood up. In fact, not only his leg was stabbed by the enemy's spear, but his chest and arms were also cut by the soldiers of the Han army. However, his armor protected him very well. His body allowed him to still stand in the army formation.

Viscous blood slowly flowed down Wang Qi's helmet brim, the blood flowed all the way down, and finally flowed onto the ferocious iron mask on his face, the stench of blood filled Wang Qi's mouth and nose, The heat in his chest made it hard for him to breathe.

The battle has lasted for nearly an hour.

Above the sky, the sunlight of the Golden Crow is dimming.

The sun is setting downwards, towards the west, in the direction of Chang'an.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire sky a bloody color, and also reflected the eyes of the soldiers of the Han and Ming armies outside Fanyang City red.

There is a military rule in the Ming army, which strictly prohibits officers of the infantry army at the first rank of the army to take the lead in charging and guarding the front line of the position.

For a long time, the death rate of officers in the Yellow Turban Army was terribly high.

The reason why officers at the first level of military marquis are strictly prohibited from charging on the front line is because their duty is to command one side of the army formation. Although leading the way can boost morale, their death in battle also makes the army formation lose good control. There may also be the possibility of being broken.

The smallest army formation is generally composed of a hundred people, that is, a garrison, and the military marquis leads five tun, a total of [-] people, [-] people form a middle formation, and five middle formations form a large formation. The army formations overlap and are dense. Orderly, can change defense at any time.

The ban is in front, and the officers of the Yellow Turban Army who have always obeyed the military regulations will naturally not violate the ban in the army, but they have a compromise method, which is to move their position to the second line of the position, which is the second village , Whether it is the banner of the military lord or the banner of the military Sima, they are all at the front.

In fact, such a subtle influence of tradition has also affected Xu An.

Although Xu An issued a ban, his current position is almost in the front line of the Chinese army, which means that as long as the enemy breaks through the front line, Xu An will face the threat of the enemy directly.

Until the Battle of Fenshui, Xu An led the army many times to charge in person. Until later, with the gradual development of power, if he made any mistakes, it might cause huge changes in Taiping Dao. With more and more generals coming, it was not Xu An's turn to charge forward.

If Xu An was really required to take up arms again and go into battle, then the situation at that time might be at the end of his rope.

However, since the Battle of Fenshui until now, no army has been able to break through the front army of the Yellow Turban Army.

Wang Qi's current position has become the front line, Yang Mu and Zhong Hou are guarding Wang Qi behind with shield swords in their hands and a few personal guards, their armors are also covered with many scars.

Wang Qi's banner has now become the main direction of the Han army's attack.

The front formation of the Ming army consisted of a military pawn and a sharp warrior, with a total of [-] people, divided into ten formations.

Wang Qi's team, although he had been rotated before, was replaced by the team at the front and the center.

After defeating Wang Qi for one round, and then for two consecutive rounds, it was the location of He Man's army flag.

Most of Wang Qi's personal guards had died in battle, and most of the soldiers from the first and second villages had retreated to the end of the position. Now it was the soldiers from the third and fourth villages who filled the original second position.

After a fierce battle for a long time, Monanqu has killed hundreds of people and wounded hundreds of people. Now Wang Qi can only control more than [-] people. These are the soldiers deployed by He Man from other retired Qu. Fill it under his command, otherwise Wang Qi will never be able to mobilize more than two hundred soldiers.

The Han army's offensive has not weakened. The casualties of the Han army are greater than those of the Ming army, but the Han army is desperate at this time. Dong Zhuo's army's momentum was like a stormy sea, wave after wave without stopping.

The sound of killing gradually became louder and louder, and the front line had begun to be unable to withstand the pressure, and soldiers of the Han army continued to break through the lineup.

Wang Qi supported himself with a long spear and looked around, the surroundings seemed to have become a purgatory on earth.

Soldiers stabbed by long spears kept falling to the ground, screaming desperately before dying, but no one paid attention to them, and some even stepped forward on their bodies.

The blood pooled on the ground into pools of blood, and everything in front of him had turned blood red.

"call out----"

A sharp sound rose into the sky.

"Wan Sheng!"

Immediately after a loud roar came from behind, Wang Qi turned his head and looked back, and countless khaki banners appeared in front of Wang Qi's eyes.

A large number of soldiers of the Ming army crossed their formation and rushed into the formation of the Han army. The original fierce offensive of the Han army collapsed in an instant.

A tall banner slowly approached, and a fully armed Ming Army Marquis who was also wearing a visor walked up to Wang Qi and saluted him solemnly.

"The position here will be taken over by me, and you can go to the rear to rest."

On the battlefield, it is naturally impossible for the soldiers at the forefront to be at the forefront all the time. After all, close combat with cold weapons consumes a lot of physical strength.

The same thing happened everywhere in the front formation of the Ming army. He Man rode on the horse and issued military orders calmly. He always paid attention to the situation of the military formations everywhere and maintained the operation of the large formation.

Just when He Man ordered a reserve team in his hand to rush to the aid of an army formation, a messenger galloped up from behind, attracting the attention of all the generals.

"Urgent order from the Chinese army."

He Man didn't dare to neglect, took the letter from the messenger, and then his eyes suddenly became dark.

"Order the yellow angels to line up, and all the reserve teams will regroup!"

He Man put down the letter in his hand, and immediately issued a military order.

He took out the binoculars on his waist, pulled it away, and looked into the distance.

In the Han army's formation, there was already a little commotion at this time, and a large number of fiery red banners had appeared under the lens of the telescope.

The central army of the Han army moved!
……

Outside Fanyang City, the Han and Ming armies were entangled again, and the two armies had already fallen into a fierce battle.

At this moment, the low-pitched horn sounded suddenly, followed by the sound of extremely heavy footsteps from the Han army formation.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The Han army that was attacking at the front seemed to have received some order, and retreated rapidly like the ebbing tide.

The eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army in the front line were empty at first, and then many black and fiery red banners appeared in front of them, and behind the fiery red banners, there were a large number of black and black banners.

The black and black banners are the banners of the Danyang soldiers, and those fiery red banners are the banners of the sharp soldiers of the Han army!

The first thing that caught the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army were hundreds of sharp soldiers of the Han army who were fully armed and wearing heavy armor.

And behind the sharp soldiers of the Han army, there are a group of soldiers of the Han army wearing simple iron armor and holding double arc shields. Although they are Danyang soldiers, not all of them were recruited from Danyang County, but Most of them are from the same place, from Yangzhou.

The sharp soldiers of the Han army were targeting the yellow angels in the Ming army and the Wuwei army in the Wei army. They were both heavy armored infantry.

With the passage of time, the number of sharp soldiers of the Han army is also increasing, and their combat power is also continuously strengthening, but the yellow angels are already ahead of them, and they are already ahead of them.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In the formation of the Han army, the sound of war drums sounded again, and the third drum sound had already sounded, and the last elite troops of the Han army were also thrown into the war by Sun Jian.

Sun Jian planned to use the sharp soldiers of the Han army to charge into the formation of the enlightened army's pawns with their armored swords, and then rely on the breakthrough ability and bravery of the Danyang soldiers to break through the next two formations in one go.

If He Man retreated at that time, the retreat of his flag would inevitably cause the morale of the entire Ming army to drop.

And if He Man doesn't retreat, then He Man will definitely be hated by the sword and ax of the Han army!
After the sharp soldiers of the Han army and the Danyang soldiers, there were armored heavy cavalry and a group of elite cavalry led by Sun Jian himself.

The heavy cavalry of the Han army was scarce, but it was not without them. Before the Northern Expedition, they managed to scrape together [-] cavalry, but they were pinched in Liu Bei's hands as a trump card and were not used.

Sun Jian's previous transfer was to dispatch all the elite cavalry from the left and right wings. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also transferred to the central army by Sun Jian, and almost all the brave generals in the Han army were mobilized by Sun Jian.

Ling Cao led the Danyang soldiers, and Ji Ling led the sharp soldiers of the Han army.

The four generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhu, and Cheng Pu led Jiaqi and followed him into battle.

Sun Jian's plan is very simple. As long as he breaks through the front line of the Ming army and kills He Man, he can use this power to attack the middle army of the Ming army. Maybe there is a chance to turn defeat into victory...

It's just that Sun Jian's original plan was to rely on the ordinary soldiers under his command to rush to the first line of the Kaiming army, but the fact was that Sun Jian was ruthlessly slapped in the face.

The Ming army's formation was as solid as a rock. No matter how fierce the Han army's offensive was, the Ming army's formation never collapsed and remained stable.

But the current battle situation has left no other chance for the Han army to win. Even though the chance of victory is extremely slim, Sun Jian still has to give it a go, because the Han army has really reached the end of its rope.

The heavy horseshoes knocked on the wilderness outside the prosperous sun, as loud as thunder.

Holding the ancient ingot knife in his hand, Sun Jian rode on the horse, driving the horse forward slowly.

Behind him, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhu, and Cheng Pu each held their weapons, and led a group of armored cavalry from the Han army to follow closely behind.

Once the Danyang soldiers and the sharp soldiers of the Han army broke through the formation of the Kaiming army, it was time for them to charge, and the Han army's final chance of victory was on them.

only……

Standing on the lookout cart, Xu An watched the shocking changes ahead, but he didn't show any signs of panic, because everything was expected.

Just when the sharp soldiers of the Han army had just stepped out of the army formation and charged.

"call out----"

A sharp sound suddenly sounded from behind the formation of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Immediately afterwards, they only felt that the sky in front of them suddenly turned black.

"not good……"

A trace of fear flashed in Sun Jian's eyes, and it was almost difficult to make any sound.

There was no expression on the face of the sharp soldiers of the Han army who charged ahead, but in the next moment, expressions of fear appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Raise your shield!!!"

A sharp voice spread throughout the entire formation of the sharp soldiers of the Han army in an instant, but it was too late.

A large number of spears have been thrown from the Ming army's formation.

"Puff puff!"

The heavy spear pierced through the solid armor of the sharp soldiers of the Han army, or knocked their bodies to one side, lost their balance, and fell to the ground like this. The huge impact made them almost lose their action Ability.

Even if the spears hit their bodies, even if they didn't have the ability to penetrate their armor, it was enough to make them lose their ability to move temporarily. If they hit their chests, they could even break their ribs.

"put!"

There was also a gap in the shield formation of the Ming army.

"call out----"

Numerous soldiers raised the already wounded crossbows in their hands, and a large number of crossbow bolts suddenly shot out from the formation of Ming soldiers with the sharp sound.

A large number of sharp soldiers of the Han army suddenly fell to the ground. This time, the crossbows held by these soldiers were strengthened again. Twenty steps away, the sharp soldiers of the Han army were wearing a layer of iron armor and a layer of armor. Even leather armor can't change the fate of being broken.

After the formation of the soldiers of the Ming army, the crossbow machine, which had been silent for a long time without roaring, let out its own roar again, and the spears flew out, and were ruthlessly absorbed into the formation of the elite soldiers of the Han army.

The front line of the entire Han army has turned into a purgatory on earth in an instant.

The more than [-] Danyang soldiers behind the sharp soldiers of the Han army stopped involuntarily, their faces full of fear.

The crossbow arrows and spears of the Ming soldiers seemed to be endless. Groups of Han soldiers fell on the way of charging. It's all down.

In their daily training, the soldiers of the Ming army not only practiced close combat, but also practiced long-range three-stage strikes.

Although there are no muskets, the special crossbow can be a low-level substitute for muskets.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The drums in the Han army formation gradually became more and more rapid.

"kill!!"

Sun Jian's eyes were completely red. He raised the ancient ingot knife high and roared forward. Thousands of Han cavalry behind him raised their spears together and followed Sun Jian forward. .

The Danyang soldiers and the sharp soldiers of the Han army could not make meritorious deeds, but he could not hesitate, this is the last chance!

Looking at the countless fiery red banners dancing in front of him, a sneer appeared on the corner of He Man's mouth.

Holding spears in their hands, Pang De and Ma Chao jumped out from among the generals of the Ming army, and drove their horses to He Man's side.

Just behind them, thousands of heavy cavalry of the Ming army in heavy armor were already waiting.
