Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 377

"Look down, look at your feet, fuck your mother, if you dare to dream again, you are ready to die here!"

When Zhang Xiaobiao was thinking wildly, the strong man surnamed Wang beside him yelled loudly in his ear.

The brawny man was their fire chief, and this burst of shouting, like a thunderbolt, shook Zhang Xiaobiao's spirit back to his body.

Only then did Zhang Xiaobiao realize that almost half of the crossbowmen in front of their phalanx were gone.

However, there were not many people lying on the ground motionless, and most of them were dragged behind by the peasants desperately.

After all, most of the crossbowmen who can stand in the front have iron armor on their bodies, so they are not so easy to be killed.

The crossbowman is still walking forward, because the range of the crossbow is longer than that of the bow, so the crossbowman must go closer to let the archer behind him reach the opponent.

Moreover, crossbowmen generally have heavy armor on them, and they are far more capable of taking damage than archers.

"Ha! The bandits of the Dingnan Army can't bear it anymore, they are going to the Peng Pai (shield)! Everyone draw their bows and get ready!"

Unexpectedly, the strong man of the Wang family roared, Zhang Xiaobiao looked up, it turned out that the crossbowmen of the Dingnan Army on the opposite side could not withstand this cruel shooting, and broke up in groups.

After they collapsed, dozens of peng platoons were erected, hoping to block the crossbow arrows of the Guiyi army.

At this time, Peng Pai that can defend against crossbow arrows is very precious, because such a large piece of iron sheet plus cowhide, plus wood boards or other things, the manufacturing cost is not small.

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, Peng Pai was also one of the things that were not allowed to be buried with him.

Seeing the Peng platoon erected on the opposite side, the morale of the Guiyi Army immediately rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the eyes of the soldiers at this time, the meaning of erecting Peng Pai is that they cannot be defeated, and they admit to being cowardly.

Therefore, during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the utilization rate of Peng Pai was very low, and Peng Pai could be used on a large scale, that is, in urban street warfare and search warfare.

At this time, the shouts of killing had already resounded through the sky on the battlefield with a radius of two or three miles. Soldiers and grassroots officers could only hear intermittent drumming. As for the semaphore, no one could notice it at all.

At this time, the commander's command also began to be difficult. Standing beside Zhang Zhao on the mountain, countless messengers with various conspicuous banners on their backs, like busy bees, quickly passed the military orders to all parties.

However, there is a delay in the messenger's order, and there will also be a moment of understanding due to the spread of language.

So at this moment, the most important thing in the entire army is the low-level officers at the level of Dutou-General-Team Zheng-Huochang.

In an army, if low-level officers can display their subjective initiative at such times, they can seize many fleeting opportunities.

You grab a little bit, he grabs a little bit, the accumulation of little things is the cornerstone of victory.

For example, at this moment, Fanshun, who was at the forefront, keenly discovered the weakness of the Dingnan Army.

Under his loud order, the third and fourth crossbowmen from the left decisively put down their crossbow bolts and replaced them with rifles.

Two teams of one hundred jumping soldiers, also armed with hammers and axes, were summoned to the front by him.

"The task of your mother is to rush up and smash the Peng Pai of the bandits to death. Don't stop after killing the generals, keep going back and kill half of them. Then you are allowed to retreat. At that time, I will give you credit, half of them Xun Ce turned around.

If not half of the people die, you will be backed down by me. Not only will I let the silver knife officer chop you up with a knife, but when I return to Liangzhou, I will also chop you up with a knife! "

Fanshun grabbed the head of the jumping soldier and shouted loudly, and the jumping soldier knocked off Fanshun's hand, gritted his teeth, looked at Fanshun with a fierce look in his eyes and shouted.

"Don't worry about me, let Dutou see the bravery of a certain boy today. If he can't break through the square formation on the opposite side, he won't retreat even if he dies!"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the Huo Chang who was wearing a cotton armor and a ring lock armor inside.

"Zhang Dalang, I'm going to the front with your fire, piercing through the opposite phalanx. When I go back, I'll marry my daughter to your son. If you don't break through, you'll be the first to die. I'll be there soon."

Dalang Zhang grabbed the general's hand, "The general said it himself!"

"Which time is it that I don't say anything too much?" The head stared at his eyes, and then hurriedly put on the pocket.

The corners of Zhang Jia Dalang's mouth reached to the ears with joy, and he looked at his soldiers.

"The thieves who killed thousands of knives, went to fight with my father, the Fugui Yeniang who died in the battle, and the Fugui family who lived!"

"Go with the fire head! Go together!" The jumping soldiers who were chosen to lead were wearing heavy armor and yelled a few words in a hurry.

It can be seen that on weekdays Zhang Jia Dalang has a good prestige and conduct among the soldiers, even if he is close to death, the soldiers follow him at will.

At this time, the head's relative came over and opened a huge leather bag, which was filled with high-quality purple wine. After drinking a few sips of wine, Zhang Jia Dalang took the lead and rushed up, howling.

This seems to have passed for a long time, but in fact it is only about twenty breaths.

After hundreds of jumping soldiers rushed up, Fanshun himself also took out his rifle, and started to accelerate forward with the crossbowmen.

Zhang Xiaobiao seemed to hear his father's voice, and he couldn't help standing on tiptoe to look forward.

With a sound of 'snap', the strong man of the Wang family smashed his scabbard on his head.

"Don't dare to move again! I will kill you first!"

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky, and more than a hundred jumping soldiers faced the spears that the Dingnan army extended from the Peng platoon, and directly bumped into them.

The hammer and axe, a weapon that is good for armor-piercing and melee combat, slashed, and immediately cut a gap in the opposite Peng Pai.

Seeing that there was a gap, these heavily armored warriors desperately drilled in, and the screams became more and more tragic.

Although Fanshun couldn't see what was going on inside, but only from the undulating shaking of the Dingnan army formation, he knew that he must have been killed inside and was caught off guard.

Immediately afterwards, Peng Pai of the Dingnan Army fell to the ground continuously, all of which were killed by the jumping soldiers.

As for the jumping soldiers who rushed in, they were constantly hooked by the Dingnan army with ropes or hooks and sickle guns, and fell to the ground.

"Come on!" Fanshun roared, and the heavy armored soldiers with rifles followed quickly. Their task was to expand the results of the battle after the jumping soldiers opened the gap.

With the fall of Peng Pai Shou of the Dingnan Army, Dutou, who was in charge of commanding the archers, also saw the situation in the Dingnan Army's phalanx. A large number of heavy armored soldiers lined up and waited with long spears.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Draw the bow! Five rounds of rapid fire!" Du shouted wildly, and then hundreds of archers in the nearest phalanx quickly took out arrows from Hulu.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!" While taking out their arrows, the archers clamored like apes.

In this cry, the fear of death and the tension on the battlefield were immediately relieved a lot.

'Boom! 'An arrow with long white tail feathers flew out first, this is a group of beep arrows that are being shot out to mark the area covered by the arrow.

According to the military law, all archers must shoot arrows within the breath of the team's shooting arrows, and cut them on the spot without hesitation.

So after hearing the beeping arrow and seeing the long white tail feathers, almost like a conditioned reflex, the longbow in the archer's hand vibrated suddenly, and the trembling flying arrows covered the sky and covered the sun, and flew towards the Dingnan army.

'Woo!Woohoo! 'The ape's voice was getting faster and faster, and the speed of shooting was getting faster and faster.

The infantrymen of the Dingnan Army were in trouble now. The arrows of the Guiyi Army were heavy arrows shot from a strong bow with eight buckets to one stone.

Regardless of whether it is sharp or not, just this loquat-sized piece of iron, when it is shot out by a bow and then dropped, has astonishing lethality.

This kind of heavy arrow, hitting the body, can make people tremble in pain, and hitting the pocket can make people dizzy for a while.

If you don't have iron armor, but only leather or paper armor, then congratulations. Although you won't die if you get hit by a heavy arrow, blood will splatter and you won't last long.

Of course, seeing the bad situation, the Dingnan army also began to fight back with strong bows and heavy arrows, but they took a slow step. Since the crossbowmen couldn't bear the casualties and used Peng Pai, they were preempted by the Guiyi army. Getting closer and closer.

While the Dingnan army had to allocate manpower to deal with the jumping soldiers of the Guiyi army who had sneaked in, at the same time they had to try their best to ensure the formation and stab them with long spears. They were extremely embarrassed for a while, and the front line was constantly retreating.

Li Yiyin could see clearly from a distance that their Dingnan Army had too few heavy armored infantry, and they couldn't compare with the Guiyi Army at all, but Li Yiyin also saw the flaws of Zhang Zhao's large fan formation.

That is, although the coach is behind the formation, he can better dispatch and expand the army in front of him, but for the coach, the danger is also doubled.

Because a fan-shaped formation with a wide front and a narrow tail would lead to insufficient defensive troops around the coach, thinking of this, Li Yiyin turned his heart and called his general Tuoba Chongde over.

"I will give you one thousand light armored cavalry and two thousand horse archers. Don't worry about anything, just go directly to the commander of the bandits and cut off his central banner. This battle will be won!"

. . . .

Smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and Zhang Zhao saw it clearly from a height, obviously they were coming straight for him, but this loophole was intentionally left by Zhang Zhao.

But it doesn't mean that he has any excellent way to deal with the cavalry, but the Dingnan army is twice as large as him. Zhang Zhao can only set up such a fan-shaped formation to increase the number of troops in front, so that it is possible to fight with less casualties. , defeated the Dingnan army.

Now that Li Yiyin has discovered his flaw, it depends on whether Zhang Zhao can handle it!
