Datang New Order

Imol's tip.

Xuanhu is named after the highest point of several mountain ridges about four miles away on the southwest side of Jiepai Ridge, which resembles a spout.Since the east and west dug mountains were lost, this place has faced the attack of the coalition forces of the princes.

As long as the Xuanhu is taken down, the coalition forces of the feudal lords can attack Niushan behind Jiepailing. Jiepailing will lose the support to continue fighting, and will be surrounded at the same time.

From October 500st, Liang Jun He Delun's troops launched a more violent attack on Xuanhu. Liang Jun used three to [-] men as batches to attack the front beam of Xuanhu without interruption. The attack lasted for a day and a night. Under such circumstances, it also caused huge casualties to the defenders. The mixed battalion of the Dingzhou Army stationed here has replenished sergeants three times in a row.

Under the main beam, two hundred steps away from the front beam, there is a newly transferred supplementary battalion, numbered "Sixth Supplementary Battalion".Ren Suihuan, the Saburo of the Ren family, sat in the ditch with his brothers, his heart was pounding, and the handle of the knife he was holding tightly was covered with sweat.

The team officer patrolled along the small ditch, kicking the squatting soldiers from time to time, and shouted: "Don't squat, either sit or just lie down...Your mother, it's like a shit, like a shit So good!"

Ren Suian had learned in training before that when going to battle, one must never squat for a long time, as this will cause stiff legs and feet, which is not conducive to fighting.But here, there are still many recruits, especially those from peasant households who can't get rid of the dirt bumps. They squat habitually when they get nervous, just like they squat in the fields all year round.

The team officer patrolled to Ren Suian's side, and suddenly kicked Ren Suian's calf, Ren Suian shuddered and murmured: "Team officer, did you squat..."

"Hey! Put down the knife, look at your nervousness... all of you, listen up. Wipe your hands clean, the handle of the knife is covered with sweat, how can you chop people so hard then?"

Ren Suihuan hurriedly let go of the horizontal knife, and kept wiping the sweat from his palms between his legs. As he wiped, the tension in his heart was relieved a lot.

The sound of fierce fighting from the other side of the front beam was always echoing in the ears, and almost everyone was staring at that side, as if they could see the opposite side through the thick soil.

After half an hour, the sound of fighting suddenly disappeared.The thick smoke rising into the sky also seemed to have faded a bit, and the brothers from the medical team of the logistics battalion caught up, passed over the rest area of ​​the sixth battalion, and flew up.In a short while, more than a dozen stretchers were lifted down, and more than 30 brothers either supported them or walked alone, limping down.

A head protruded from the front beam, and a small black triangular flag was hoisted at the same time beside the head.After the flag waved twice, the team officer took out the wooden whistle and blew a familiar and piercing whistle. Ren Suihuan and his team members quickly stood up.Quickly line up.

"Supplement the left team of the Sixth Battalion Jiadu, listen to the password, everyone is there, run forward!" The team officer finished the order.Taking the lead to go up the ditch, Ren Suihuan followed closely in the team and ran over while running.I was still habitually counting "left and right, left and right, left and right" in my heart, and after running for more than ten steps, the entire left team formed a chorus, and the footsteps of fifty soldiers all stepped on a point.

With such a simple action, Ren Suihuan suddenly felt that the aura of his team had risen, and a force was born in himself.

Running under the front beam, Ren Suihuan followed the team and climbed up. Fortunately, a few simple earth steps were dug on the not-so-steep beam wall, and the brothers in armor, holding knives and carrying shields climbed up without much effort. .At the moment when he jumped onto the front beam, Ren Suihuan saw that not far away was the officer who was just waving the flag down the mountain beam. From the armband, it can be seen that this is an officer with the rank of Yujiu Lieutenant. At this moment, he is waving down the mountain beam A triangular yellow flag, the last thing Ren Suihuan saw when he turned his head was a group of heavily armored spearmen rushing over.

This is a position composed of three trenches. It is well known that the Yan army likes to dig trenches in combat.Regarding the role of trenches in combat, the princes of the world have different opinions and cannot agree on what to do.Some people think that deploying troops in trenches is still meaningful for defensive operations. Some military leaders in the Liang army have such a view, such as He Delun, and they are also actively following suit.But more people believe that this method of warfare may reduce the casualties of the army in the arrows, but the indirect blow to morale is great, and it should be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Strictly speaking, the first trench of the Yan Army is not a trench. It is a flat horizontal road dug on the middle of the mountain ridge. There are various wooden villages and antlers in front of the road, and there are many deep pits. All were burned, and some were dragged down by the enemy, and they could be seen falling under the beams from a distance.Armored spearmen are stationed here, condescending and fighting head-on with the attacking enemy.At this moment, the enemy army has retreated, and the spearmen have unloaded their outer armor and are taking the time to rest and eat.

The third trench is located at the highest point, twenty or thirty steps away from the first trench, dug to waist height, where the crossbowmen are stationed.The third trench has several forward longitudinal passages, which are connected to the second trench in the middle, and Ren Suihuan and the others are deployed in the second trench.

Before going into battle, the team officers have already explained in detail that once the enemy breaks into the first trench, they will go up and beat the enemy out; or when the armored spearmen are under too much pressure, they will attack from both sides. Horizontally outflank the enemy's flanks and disrupt the enemy's offensive; when the enemy retreats, if the opportunity is good, they will also be responsible for rushing down to cover up the kill in order to expand the results of the battle.

Blood-stained soil was everywhere inside and outside the trench, fragmented and broken weapons could be seen far and near, thick smoke was still rising from several wooden villages, the smoke and dust billowed, and the smell was pungent.Under the antlers of Muzhai, and even down the slope of the mountain ridge, there are densely packed corpses, and there is another corpse hanging on the edge of a stone ridge, the red silk on the wrist swaying gently in the wind.

While Ren Suihuan was looking at the battlefield, a batch of masks made of linen squares were sent from the rear, and they were handed over to each soldier.A strange officer stepped on the trench and shouted condescendingly to the recruits. The leather armor on his left shoulder had fallen off in one piece, and a white step was wrapped around his shoulder, with scarlet blood stained faintly.

"The enemy will fire rockets when they come up, and everyone has to wear a mask to prevent the smoke..."

"Team officers and team leaders always pay attention to the flags on the mountain ridges, and are always ready to lead the team to fight... The round flag is the first line of defense for reinforcements, and the square flag is to attack from both sides. This is contrary to what I told you before. This is to confuse enemy……"

"When the horn is sounded, go down to hide and kill. If you don't hear the sound of Mingjin, you can't retreat..."

"As soon as the ringing gold sounded, I immediately withdrew, and continued to pursue the responsibility for the war..."

Just as he was talking, the banner on the command platform on the mountain ridge shook suddenly, and the officer immediately said: "The enemy army is coming up. Brothers, prepare to fight!"

Immediately afterwards, the team officer's voice screamed: "Check the armor again!"

Ren Suihuan hastily tightened his leather armor, checked his leggings, straightened his helmet, and helped a brother around him tie up his belt again.Under the command of the gang leader, everyone took off the shields behind them, tied them to their arms, and placed the horizontal knives at their feet.

look around.More than a dozen small army formations under the mountain ridge slowly pushed forward, and each army formation ranged from dozens to hundreds of people.The first few rows of the army formation are all shields raised upside down, and they are so far apart that they form a shield formation.It seems that the enemy army was frightened by their own arrow array.

At the forefront of these small army formations, more than a dozen shield chariots were pushed up, and they did not stop until they were pushed to the bottom of the mountain ridge.

The armored spearmen of the Yan army in the first trench began to line up, forming two lines.After taking three steps forward, he reached the wooden village and the antlers, and a chilling air came over his face.Like him, many brothers around Ren Suihuan began to breathe heavily.

Many archers flashed out from behind the enemy's shield vehicle, and they kept firing rockets on the slope of the mountain ridge.Most of the rockets were in vain until they burned out, but a small number of rockets still ignited the surrounding dry brush and grass.The fire was not big, but the smoke was really choking when it rose up, causing continuous coughing sounds.Fortunately, the brothers all used masks to protect their mouths and noses, so they were not greatly affected.

Suddenly, a cloud of stone bombs flew out from behind the mountain ridge. It was the catapults of the Yan army that were showing their power. Ren Suihuan hadn't seen where the catapults were arranged before, so he still doesn't know, but judging from the flying direction of the stone bullets, it should be in the southeast of Qianliang side.

The Yan army's stone bullets were aimed at these shield vehicles, none of them hit after the first round, and the most accurate hits were only about two feet away from the shield vehicles, but this power is quite astonishing.The aim of the second round of stone bullets was lifted up at once, and a stone bullet directly hit a shield vehicle, smashing the shield vehicle to pieces immediately, and the fire pile hidden behind the shield vehicle also exploded, making the attack effect of the stone bullet multiply.

Several enemy archers died on the spot, and several others were rolling on the spot and screaming, unable to see where the injuries were.

In addition, two stone bombs caused a splash effect, partially destroying the two shield vehicles, causing a burst of exclamation.

The battle drums in the rear of the Liang army were loud, and more than a dozen army formations accelerated their pace and arrived around the shield chariot.At the same time, a dark arrow flew out from behind the mountain ridge and crashed into the Liang army's formation, causing another death and injury.This is the Yan army's big arrow is showing its power, Liang Jun's shield formation is very weak under the big arrow.

More than a dozen army formations suddenly shouted, turning into more than a dozen torrents, rushing towards the mountain ridge.

After being covered by another arrow, the archers of the Yan Army in the third trench began to shoot their arrows and crossbows. Ren Suihuan hurriedly sat down under the call of the captain, and the whizzing sound flew over his head, making Ren Suihuan's scalp numb .

He heard the sound of shouting, and there was a fierce clash of weapons. Ren Suihuan knew that it was the enemy army and the armored spearmen on his side.He couldn't help but wanted to look up, but was rushed over by the gang leader and pushed him down. Ren Suihuan could only see countless black shadows flying above, drawing tracks under the blue sky and white clouds.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I heard the team leader shouting: "Get ready to attack, attack the enemy's two wings!" Obviously, the enemy's attack on the armored spearmen is very fierce, and these sword and shield fighters must attack to reduce the pressure on the front line of defense. .

Ren Suihuan lined up behind the wooden door on the left side of the trench with his waist down, and upon hearing an order, the wooden door opened, and the team officer rushed out first.Ren Suihuan followed behind, and the brothers quickly lined up while running, and rushed towards Liang Jun.
