Amidst the deafening shouts of the soldiers on both sides, the armored infantry began to speed up, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the speed was getting faster and faster. quick. The collision between the armor blades was loud, and even the ferocious faces of the soldiers on the opposite side were almost faintly visible.
Li Zhejun¡¯s soldiers are becoming more and more stressed and nervous. There was a sudden bang, and before they were fifty meters away, some militiaman couldn't help but pull the trigger. The sound of the crossbow arrows being drawn out was like a command. Before the generals could react, the sound of violently breaking strings merged into one, and the black crossbow arrows shot straight towards the opposite side like a swarm of bees. These militiamen were so nervous that they collectively shot themselves prematurely.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the formation of armored soldiers on the opposite side suddenly stopped, as if they were dwarfed out of thin air, and the powerful crossbow arrows directly shot the armored soldiers in the first row, either flying backwards, or directly falling to the ground. , in a few seconds, the entire first row of charging soldiers disappeared!
This situation stunned the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers on Wenpin's side were certainly horrified, but the militiamen on Li Zhejun's side were also stunned and did not react. The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
"Shoot! Shoot! Keep shooting!" A loud shout alarmed everyone, and a general suddenly jumped out of Li Zhe's army, holding a ring-headed sword in his hand and shouting crazily, ordering his crossbowmen to continue. attack.
Then, I saw that under the command of this general, the phalanx changed its formation, the spearmen all dispersed, the crossbowmen appeared, lined up in five rows, and began to follow the usual drill step by step. Row after row moved forward, and the retreating reloading tactics of the matchlock era in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries began to be performed in disguised form in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms.
With each shot, three crossbow arrows were fired, and then he quickly turned his head and passed through the gap between his companions who were striding in from the back row.
The second row continued to take a step forward and continued to shoot crossbows. After shooting, they did not look at it. They just ducked and retreated. They also wound the bow nervously. Each action was divided into nearly ten dull steps, again and again. of repetition. This military formation is advancing row by row. Although it is slow, it is crushing like Mount Tai. It is as endless as the sea. It rolls up a monstrous rain of arrows and rushes towards the Wenpin army in front of them, cutting those soldiers like wheat. The soldiers penetrated one after another and were knocked away!
The human body is shattered under the crossbow arrows, and the flesh and blood are separated under the crossbow arrows! The soldiers of the Wenpin Army in front of them struggled in vain under the continuous firing of crossbow arrows, and then were torn to pieces by swarms of crossbow arrows!
The battlefield is a strange place. No matter who you are, once you are in it, you will quickly lose yourself and become part of the group. Adrenaline is boiling, commanding people to become slaves of the group. Every move of each person is an imitation of the actions of the people around him, and everyone is influenced and driven by the emotions and actions of the people around him all the time. This group is like a tiger formed by concentrating everyone's bloodthirsty passion. Its biggest goal of survival is to devour flesh and blood.
Under the leadership of the phalanx that started first, the other phalanxes in the front row also quickly reacted and began to perform the crossbow arrow wheel shooting formation that they had practiced countless times. They were also meticulously wound and mechanical. When shooting arrows, even though his body was tense and sweating profusely, his hands and feet could still follow the movements of his companions around him.
For a moment, arrows rained down like a continuous stream, but in just ten minutes, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were poured out at the Wenpin army on the opposite side!
At a distance of sixty or seventy meters, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows can only penetrate several layers of iron armor. Although the accuracy is not good, the scattering is boundless. But still, a whirlwind of death blew up in the Wenpin Army's charging queue, setting off a torrential rain of blood, and everyone within this range was slaughtered. After a gust of wind passed, in the place where the Wenpin Army's charge array was located, apart from the completely dead people, there were only the tragically moaning injured. Crying and howling, it was like a Shura hell.
Then, the battlefield fell into silence again. All thirty quivers of the crossbowmen had been fired, and they were at a loss for a moment. As for the Wenpin Army on the opposite side, the front army had been completely annihilated, but the army behind them still maintained the initial distance of 500 meters and stood there motionless.
It was still the same military lord who stepped forward just now, waving the ring-shou sword and rushing out of the formation.
"Charge!" Lead the spearmen in the next chapter to charge forward!
"Charge!" Li Zhe's militiamen, stimulated by the achievements of the crossbowmen, were filled with enthusiasm. Bloodthirsty blood boiled in their chests. Their morale instantly rose to the highest peak, and they burst out with shouts like spring thunder on the ground. He rushed towards the Wenpin army on the opposite side.
Wenpin?In the formation, his face turned pale with shock. When all his armored soldiers were wiped out at first, he still hesitated. After all, according to his experience, even if the crossbowmen were powerful, they were only powerful with one blow. As long as there were no follow-up attacks, after his own soldiers went up, , the crossbowmen are just objects to be slaughtered. Unexpectedly, just ten minutes later, the enemy's arrows rained down like a huge wave, drowning the entire front army.
What kind of weapon is this? What kind of art of war is this? Wenpin was extremely horrified in the formation. This kind of war has completely changed his perception and destroyed his understanding of war. All his previous war experiences need to be overturned at this moment. In such a military formation, In front of us, not to mention armored soldiers, but dozens of real generals, what can they do? What use are the martial arts passed down from generation to generation by generals? Is this¡ªis this a punishment from heaven? For a time, all kinds of despair flooded Wenpin's thinking like a tide. He actually forgot that this fashion was on the battlefield!
"General! General!" A young general from the front army rushed back, but he was a general from Wenpin's own clan. He shouted loudly: "Run away! Run away quickly! The army has collapsed!"
Wen Pinshang was confused. He suddenly heard the word "escape" in a blur, and his anger immediately rose. He immediately hit the general's face with a whip, leaving a deep blood mark! "What? You want to escape? Wait until I kill you first!" After saying that, he drew his sword.
"General! You must not! Look at that!" Another general also ran over and grabbed Wenpin's hand firmly.
Wenpin looked up and saw that the battlefield looked completely different.
It turns out that these soldiers react extremely slowly on the battlefield. From one formation to another, it takes several minutes for the messengers to deliver orders, and it takes another ten minutes to reach the generals of each unit to execute the orders. , Therefore, from top to bottom, it often takes more than half an hour for an order to be conveyed before it can be transformed into specific tactical actions. The fastest military order system is the method of beating drums and ringing gold, but the information transmitted in this way is too simple and is often useless.
But in the large formation, the psychological changes of the soldiers were far faster than the orders of the generals. After the front formation of Wenpin Army was destroyed in the storm. The soldiers in the rear formation who were watching the battle from the back immediately began to collapse psychologically. But even though they were extremely frightened, the soldiers trained rigorously on weekdays, and the collective consciousness of the body had penetrated into the bone marrow, but they had to first look at the reactions of the brothers around them. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they were hesitant for a moment.
After Li Zhejun's army began to charge with overwhelming force, the soldiers could no longer hold their nerves. Starting from the first person to escape, the entire army formation became chaotic. The soldiers started to attack their own families one after another. In the originally tight formation, you fought with each other to squeeze out a way to escape. The entire formation suddenly became defeated, and there was no way to recover!
However, the cavalrymen of Wenpin's army who had scattered to the two flanks of the skirmishing formation still tried their best to come to the rescue of Wenpin's Chinese army. However, they happened to fall into the firepower of Li Zhe's army. Li Zhe saw the situation clearly at this time and had already begun to invest his reserve troops. The elite troops of a thousand people and hundreds of Qilin Guards rushed forward.
Wenpin's army was defeated like a mountain, but Li Zhe's army was so full of morale that even ordinary spearmen dared to charge against the cavalry. Blocked by countless soldiers along the way and braving the rain of arrows, Wenpin's most elite cavalry finally quickly dispersed. Only dozens of elite knights finally rushed to Wenpin's middle army, holding Wenpin's desire He left, but Li Zhejun's pursuers had already arrived.
"Hey! Wu Na Wen Pin Wen Zhongye! Don't try to escape, and stay alive with me!"
Wenpin looked back on his horse and saw a general in the bandit army, with a face as heavy as a jujube and eyes as bright as stars, riding on a horse. He was like a sharp arrow in the chaos of the army, rushing forward with soup and snow. Come by yourself.
