Chapter 489: The Fierce War
Under Xue Wu's arrangement, the Liang army's heavy shield hands were consistent. The original intention was to form a shield formation during the decisive battle to deal with the Qin army's arrow formation in a targeted manner. Then the shield formation separated and the infantry rushed out.
This is also the basic tactics developed by the Liang army based on the strengths and weaknesses of both sides before the war.
But now, everything has been disrupted. The first thing I face is not the Qin army's arrow formation, but the cavalry that raided on both wings.
The sudden incident made the Liang army a little busy. Many people had just raised their shields and the infantry came running from behind. Before the long halberd was mounted, the war horses had already pierced through the gap between the shields on both sides!
The powerful impact force caused the Liang army on both sides to scream and fly backwards.
This is just a corner of the battlefield.
Of course, there were also many Liang troops with heavy shields in front and long halberds behind. When the war horses approached, they directly stabbed the Qin cavalry into a hornet's nest.
Although the cavalry died, the rush of the war horses did not diminish. What followed was the man and the horses fell over.
There were collisions, screams, and horse neighing everywhere at the scene.
The Qin cavalry and elite cavalry were mostly captured war horses when conquering the Western Rong. These horses were tall and strong. When they charged forward, their momentum was very terrifying!
And on the flat land, the cavalry is scattered, which is definitely a nightmare for the infantry!
Xiao Yuan's military order was a cavalry on both sides, and there was no need to fight. The main task was to rush the shield formation of the Liang Army and create conditions for the main force to annihilate the enemy.
Therefore, looking down from a high altitude, the entire battlefield, the front row of the Liang army, two long dragons composed of war horses, passed by from the left and right sides with rolling dust and smoke...
At the same time, the Qin army infantry had stepped forward dozens of steps.
"Dong! dong! dong! dong dong dong--"
The inspiring war drums rang out.
"Arrow formation preparation--"
The generals shook the flag, and the generals of all departments all pulled out the battle swords from their waists.
Neatly rubbed armor!
The soldiers in front of the Qin army all pulled their bows and arrows, pulling them all over, and their movements were consistent, pointing in the air.
"put--"
Xiao Yuan Zhan's sword finger.
A buzzing sound!
The sound of the bowstrings being loosened all the time caused great noise!
Tens of thousands of arrows, and at the same time, seemed to tear the air apart!
The black clouds suddenly rise!
After Xiao Yuan and above his head, he rushed past.
The dense arrows covered the sun in the sky, making the moment even feel like the dark curtain came.
But this feeling was fleeting because the speed of the sharp arrow was too fast!
It has been covered in the sky and swept down!
A large shady scene suddenly hit the Liang army camp.
Pouffy!
Almost in an instant, the ground was filled with eagle feathers.
There were countless corpses and the screams connected together.
How many people were shot to the ground.
How many people have been nailed into hedgehogs.
On the feet, head, shoulders, and chest, sharp arrows pierced the armor and nailed it to it, which was shocking!
Without the protection of the shield formation, this round of arrow formation has had a great blow to the Liang army. I don’t know how many soldiers died under the arrow.
After the arrow formation, a large area of open space appeared in the front row of Liang's army in addition to the eagle feathers and corpses all over the ground.
The Qin army's arrow formation was unique in the world, with a large scale, wide coverage, and long range. It has long surpassed the rest of the country. At this distance, the Liang army's crossbowmen could not launch a retrospective.
Fortunately, as the monarch, King Liang naturally has great protection.
When the arrow formation swept over, it was surrounded by the first time.
Although the Liang army's shield formation was dispersed by the cavalry, there were still many shield hands. The shields were erected in front of the Liang King, and there were jingling sounds from time to time.
He was in the protection, his face was so gloomy that he shouted shrillly:
"Run! Break through the Qin army's arrow formation!!"
"The whole army attacked!" Xue Wu raised his sword high and waved his flag.
"Kill--"
With the highest order here, the Liang soldiers behind them also shouted loudly, raised their swords and rushed forward frantically.
The whole scene looked like it was moving quickly, and the chaotic footsteps were mixed with people's roars.
The second round of the Qin army's arrow formation is here again!
In an instant, a large area of life was harvested.
But this did not block the Liang army's charge.
As the distance between the two sides quickly approached, the Qin army's crossbowmen were well trained and under the command of the flag, they directly collected their bows and retreated, crossed the long halberd infantry and army.
At this time, during the charge, the Liang army crossbowman also pulled the bow and launched a reshoot.
Arrows hit.
"Shield array--"
Boom! Boom boom!
The heavy-mounted vertical shields, like tightly stitched, form a steel mirror. The arrows are like raindrops, hitting them without posing too much threat.
"Reversely suppress the Liang army!!"
With a command, the Qin army lifted its shield in front of the line and began to step forward to press forward!
This is also the consistent characteristic of the Qin army's combat operations. No matter how many enemy troops are faced, they will first overwhelm the momentum.
The distance between the two sides was closer again.
Then, heavy shields smashed the ground, and long halberds were placed on the vertical shields and stabbed them out!
Blood splashed.
In just a moment, a row of people was like cutting wheat.
The place where the two armies confront each other is cruel and bloody!
Facing the long halberd that was like a thorn, many Liang soldiers raised their swords, howled, jumped up, and rushed forward without fear of death.
It is not difficult to see the combat power of his soldiers from the ferocity of his soldiers.
But they were facing the same brave and good at fighting Qin army, who was called tigers and wolves!
This battle was extremely fierce.
At the same time, the cavalry led by Peng Shuang rushed back again after the attack and joined the battlefield from the flank.
On the Liang army, under the command of King Liang, its cavalry also began to make a roundabout attack.
The scene was in a melee.
Start to fight for the bravery of soldiers!
King Liang returned to the chariot and took charge of the army. Wang Jian pointed and shouted:
"The chariots come out--"
The infantry quickly separated.
The chariots were hung with thick maces and other sharp weapons, and were pulled by several war horses, and the soldiers on the chariot couldn't help but whip them.
"drive--"
The war horses were suffering and galloped to death. The chariots rolled up dust and rushed into the crowd.
The Qin army responded quickly. Someone formed an inclined shield array and used the angle to tilt the wheels of the chariot, fell to the ground with a loud bang, dragged them far away.
There were also generals who shouted: "Hooking horse legs--"
The long halberds and hooks came out together, and the war horses neighed and the chariots directly snatched them down, but they still rushed to knock out a large row of Qin troops in front.
The Qin army had already done some research and targeting the Liang army's chariots, so they did not have a perfect effect at all.
Looking at the overall situation behind, King Liang's face became more and more gloomy.
Because from the perspective of the entire battlefield, the Liang army's power has long been suppressed!
The destruction of the food and grass camp, the attack of the cavalry, the raging arrow formation, and the various battle situations combined, the Liang army was successful and defeated in this decisive battle.
Chapter completed!
