Chapter 214 Fierce Bloody Battle

On the battlefield, once injured means death.

If the war can be won in the end, it’s okay, and if the wounded soldiers are treated, even if some of them are seriously injured and die, and if the wounded or disabled can no longer go to the battlefield, some soldiers with complete limbs can be rescued.

These soldiers have all been rolled among the dead, and as long as they can be rescued, they will become real veterans of many battles.

However, or Zhan Ze, those wounded and disabled dead soldiers can only wait to die.

In a short distance of dozens of steps, it became a death mat lying ahead.

Fortunately, after paying a heavy price, Pound finally rushed to the edge of the ditch.

"Fill the hole!"

Pound roared, and two hundred sword and shield soldiers carrying sandbags rushed to the edge of the ditch, and threw the bags on their shoulders into the ditch with all their strength. Just a short distance away, there was another wave of black arrows raining passed down.

The distance between them was less than ten steps, and the dense arrows displayed an astonishing lethality.

After the two hundred sandbag-throwing swordsmen were baptized by the rain of arrows, less than 20 of them could still stand.

But at such a short distance, the archers in the rear did not dare to open their bows and shoot arrows again, so as not to accidentally injure Paoze.

The first team of archers had already finished shooting the arrows in the quiver, and the captain of the commanding army gave an order, and the first team of archers immediately withdrew immediately, and the second team of 500 archers immediately came up and continued. It rained arrows.

"Fill the pit and kill it!"

On the other side of the trench, Pound cried blood from the corners of his eyes and yelled sharply.

The thousand-blade shield soldiers held the flying arrows, gritted their teeth, and quickly threw sandbags into the trench one by one.

After throwing more than 2000 sandbags down, the three-foot-wide and two-foot-deep trench was finally filled for a distance of 20 meters. Although it was still uneven, it was no problem to step on the sandbags and rush through the trench.

"Boys, let me kill you!"

Pound let out a shout, swung the horse's head, and charged straight across the uneven trenches and onto the earthen wall.

Six thousand suffered heavy casualties, and only less than four thousand Qiang soldiers who could still stand still rushed forward, followed behind and charged.

"withdraw!"

Behind the fender, the captain of the commanding soldier swung his saber violently and roared.

Without saying a word, the two thousand longbowmen immediately turned around and rushed down the slope, throwing themselves to the rear.

At this moment, Gao Shun's army, which had already retreated fifty steps away, changed the flag again, and the drums sounded even more urgently.

"Pikemen, assault!"

Almost at the same time when the commanding officer ordered the archers to withdraw, Gao Shun gave a loud shout, and the pikemen who had been waiting two thousand years ago immediately rushed out, leaped over the front row of heavy infantry, and rushed towards the slope. Pound's army rushing down.

Amidst the terrifying shouts of killing and the miserable howls, the bloody bloody battle really broke out.

Two thousand sharp spears form a forest of death. Every time they lunge forward, the Pang De army rushing to the front will fall down like straw. The two thousand spearmen use the most basic five as a combat unit to attack a target together .

No matter how tough a soldier is, he will never be able to resist five spears stabbing at him at the same time.

With just one assault, a large area of ​​Pang De's army that charged over fell down.

Spears are no better than bows and arrows. As long as they are stabbed in the body, they will definitely die or be disabled, and there will be no minor injuries.

The high army and the middle army, the drums are fighting again, more passionate and deafening.

The two thousand cold, emotionless, machine-like gunmen immediately staggered forward and rushed forward. The Pang De army who was rushing to kill them was immediately thrown into chaos by the rushing momentum.

With the strength of the Han Dynasty, the barbarians outside the Great Wall who had been attacked by infantry did not dare to cross the Great Wall and go south to plunder.

What the Han army is best at is to cooperate with elite longbowmen and spearmen to give full play to their tactical advantages to make up for the weakness of the lack of cavalry in the Han army. The generals who are truly official and army are best at infantry decisive battles.

Most of the generals and schools of the central government army have received orthodox Han army tactical training.

Gao Shun is definitely one of the best, and he has brought the tactical advantages of the Han infantry to the extreme.

The use of Wu as the most basic combat unit when the spearmen fight is not the tactics of the Han army, but Gao Shun's first cooperative combat technique after carefully studying the characteristics of the spearmen fighting in front of the battle.This inconspicuous method of cooperating with combat can make the spearmen more efficient when fighting in battle, and at the same time can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the spearmen's own poor defense capabilities.

"Han army mighty!"

In front of the spearmen, the captain of the commanding army raised his gun to the sky and roared sharply.

"War must be won!"

The two thousand spearmen responded with three shouts, and the thunderous roar shook everyone's blood.

Although the Han Dynasty is dead, the slogan of the Five Thousand Northern Army has not changed. Fighting for the Great Han, wiping out enemies from all directions, and pacifying the world's bandits, the spirit of the indestructible army has never wavered. This is the undefeated Great Han Central Army.

The two thousand spearmen were not the recruited soldiers of Han Sui, but the real soldiers of the Northern Army.

Although the recruited soldiers of Han Sui were also trained by Gao Shun to become an elite team, these spearmen from the Northern Army are undoubtedly better at coordinating tactics and killing efficiency is also higher. I can catch up.

It was just a collective charge, and the front line of Pang De's army showed signs of collapse.

"Go to hell!"

Pang De's eyes were about to burst, he raised his knife and swept across, cutting the three spearmen into six pieces.

However, in the next step, no less than ten long spears stabbed at the same time from three directions again, and two spears pierced Pound's horse's chest very viciously, making Pound focus on the left side instead of the right side.

I looked to the right, but not to the front.

"Ah ah ah..."

Weeping blood from the corners of Pound's eyes, he tried his best to sweep away the stabbing spears from the left and right sides, but he no longer cared about the spears stabbing towards the horse in his crotch. Amid the high-pitched neighing of the horse, the horse in his crotch stood up instantly. , spurted out a lot of blood.

The next moment, the war horse fell to the ground and died.

Pang Defei got off his horse and rolled on the ground for several meters shamelessly before he hid from a few long spears that were stabbed like poisonous snakes. He turned over in embarrassment and jumped up. The steel teeth were almost broken.

"Han army mighty!"

"War must be won!"

The two thousand spearmen are like a rainbow, struggling to charge forward.

Pound looked back in shock, the former army had already begun to be defeated. Compared with this spearman, the Qiang soldiers under his command were much inferior in terms of tactical cooperation, fighting efficiency, and fighting will.

Although I knew Gao Shun's strength a long time ago, Lv Bu suffered a big loss outside Yuzhong City, and there are even [-] soldiers from the Northern Army under his command, but until today, he really saw this elite team. sharp.

The most elite central government army in the past really lived up to its reputation.

Seeing that under the astonishingly efficient killing of two thousand spearmen, the front army was defeated more and more quickly, and the three thousand cavalry who had been wandering hundreds of steps away also circled to the side and formed a triangular cone formation , ready to launch an assault.

The corners of Pang De's eyes were about to burst, and hot blood dripped down. He roared extremely unwillingly, "Back back!"

It is really a taboo for military strategists to retreat before the battle.

However, Pang De had no choice. If he didn't want to bury all the six thousand Qiang soldiers outside the city, retreating to the city before the army was truly defeated was the only choice, although it was fatal.

Almost at the moment when Pang De ordered the retreat, the six thousand Qiang soldiers with more than half of their casualties fell into chaos in an instant.

The morale of the Qiang soldiers was hit by the head-on attack of two thousand spearmen, and now Pang De ordered to retreat. This made the soldiers desperately, and the morale of the army suffered the most fatal blow.

The Qiang soldiers in the back line couldn't care about anything else, threw away their weapons, turned around and rushed into the city.

"assault!"

In front of the spearmen, the commander-in-chief raised his gun forward and howled.

The formation of the two thousand cavalry changed. In the process of rushing forward, they quickly changed into a formation of arrows. They trailed behind Pang De's army and took advantage of the situation to kill them. The heart of resistance.

At this moment, the three thousand cavalry finally launched a fatal blow, rushing towards the city gate in a diagonal stab.

Gao Shun's intention was obvious, to let [-] cavalry charge at the critical moment, just to take advantage of Pang De's retreat and rush into the city and seize the city gate, taking advantage of the situation to break through Didao, so that there is no need to wait another month.

"General, let's go, it will be too late."

During the melee, some generals rushed to Pound's side with their faces covered in blood, roaring mournfully.

Pang De's armor had already been soaked in blood, but he still fought hard to fight Xiuxiu. Hearing the words, he said tragically: "How do you retreat? Right now, Gao Shun's army is not letting go. If this general retreats, Gao Shun will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize the city gate. Di Dao is in danger!"

The school gritted its teeth and said: "The general will go first, and a certain one will stop!"

Pang De said grimly: "No, you go first, the general will kill the rear himself."

"General..."

"Go away!"

Pound yelled sharply, and chopped down the two spearmen with all his might.

"go!"

The general wept blood and screamed, and walked away.

Pound led five hundred infantry and fought hard until he separated from the army behind him. There were less than fifty people standing around him. Fortunately, the distance was finally worth it.

The dirt wall had already been stained red with blood.

A row of black hoplites stood silently with their armor on their shoulders.

Gao Shun had already arrived at the front of the formation, his eyes turned around on the field, and then he took it back, and said in a concentrated voice: "Pang De's bravery is really well-deserved, and it actually stopped the spearmen's charge. From now on, if you want to I'm afraid it won't work if we take advantage of the situation to break through the city."

A small school hurriedly said: "General, Pang De's soldiers have no fighting spirit, and our army may not have a chance."

Gao Shun shook his head and said nothing more.

Sure enough, after being blocked by Pang De himself, when the three thousand cavalry rushed to the city, almost all the retreating Qiang soldiers had retreated into the city, leaving only a few hundred Qiang soldiers blocking the gate of the city, fighting with the cavalry who were chasing up. .

"Go, go back!"

With a roar, Pound immediately turned around and ran into the city gate.

Hundreds of Qiang soldiers stood and retreated, and slowly retreated into the city gate.

"Brothers, the credit is in sight!"

In front of the cavalry formation, Cheng Chu waved his saber and roared vigorously, wanting to lead his troops into the city.

The rear of the army.

Gao Shun glanced over the top of the city, seeing that the hundreds of Qiang soldiers on the top of the city had lifted up the rolling wood and stones, struggling to lift them above their heads, ready to smash them down, he immediately waved his hand, and shouted: "Order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops."

"Order!"

An orderly had already answered the order in a hurry, and shouted loudly, "The general has an order, call gold to withdraw the troops."
