Chapter 281 Like crazy corpse, blood in the sea

"kill……"

The Xia army formation, which was originally silent, suddenly shouted loudly, and tens of thousands of people roared in unison, and the sound rang out like thunder. Almost at the same time, the Xia army formation, which was originally like a hedgehog, suddenly split into two groups, like a pair of huge cow horns, collided towards the Tang army with a thunderous force.

These Xia army soldiers used spearmen to mix archers and launched an overall charge. The recurved bow of infantry archers generally had a pulling force of more than one stone, and the range was 12 to 150 steps. If the armor-breaking cone was adopted, within fifty steps and below light armor, the middle one would die immediately.

In ancient military formations, in fact, no military branch was invincible.

Pillar soldiers can restrain cavalry collisions, but spearmen without protection will be dying under the shooting of cavalry bows and arrows. Sword and shield soldiers are not afraid of archers and cavalry shooting, but they are powerless in the face of cavalry impact. Sword and shield soldiers will not gain much advantage when facing spearmen. Crossbowmen are unparalleled in long shots, and shoot against the cavalry. Generally speaking, cavalry targets are large and they are very disadvantageous, but in close combat, crossbowmen will be in a bad position.

On the contrary, the Xia army, which cooperates with the long soldiers and the Shooting Army, has both offense and defense, and has the power to fight whether it is facing cavalry or infantry. However, any matter is mutually in harmony. The so-called offense and defense are actually a false proposition, which means that attack is neither strong nor strong.

Zhang Huaiwei watched the Xia army soldiers rush towards him, and he was ecstatic: "Good come, set up the formation quickly!"

In fact, before Zhang Huaiwei ordered, these well-trained Modao soldiers had jumped out of the baggage truck, and everyone stood shoulder to shoulder, raised Modao and were ready to face the battle.

In fact, the establishment of the Modao Army was mainly aimed at the evil neighbors in northern China. Since ancient times, light cavalry has always used light cavalry to shoot arrows in the huge infantry formation with light cavalry line, and used rounds of arrow rain to continuously kill and bleed the opponent, creating panic and chaos. When the opponent was disrupted by this endless attack, the heavy cavalry suddenly came out and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop. Then, it was nothing more than a massacre. This kind of fighting style has great results and little casualties, and has always been the best of the nomadic peoples.

The "Mangude" tactic, which was hyped in the later generations, was said to have been invented by the Mongols. In fact, this tactic has appeared since the Warring States Period. If the Mongols called Mangude tactics, if they face morale, they would only have to be fed with the average Chinese military formation. It took the Mongols more than six years to conquer Europe, but it took 45 years to fight the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was completed by a large number of traitors.

When the Xia army soldiers attacked like crazy, the Tang army's front was silent all the time. Especially Feng Deyi, the Minister of the Secretariat, had never seen this power. Facing the Xia army soldiers who were swarming like a flood, he only felt his mouth dry and his palms were so nervous that they were sweating.

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "Liu Heita is scared!"

Feng Deyi said in surprise: "Sir Chen... Why did General Chen say this?"

"Liu Heita has realized that this is their only chance!" Chen Ying smiled softly: "He has realized that conspiracy and tricks are useless to this general. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are useless."

Feng Deyi looked at the ferocious faces of the Xia army soldiers, feeling a little moved. He looked at Chen Ying with some jealousy. Although he had been going smoothly since he became an official, when he was as old as Chen Ying, he seemed to be a secretary under Emperor Wen of Sui and a small official from the seventh rank.

However, Chen Ying has already come into contact with the peak of military generals, and in the future, Chen Ying may be called "Ling Gong".

"cut!"

A thick and long roar came out like a thunderbolt from the Tang army's front, and the swords were slashed out like lightning. The soldiers of the Xia army, who waved heavy swords, short-handed big axes, spears and spears, only felt a chill on their chests, and their armor was mercilessly broken by the blade of Mo swords. The iron armor or heavy shields on their bodies were as fragile as paper, and even if they were wearing two armors, they were not spared.

The blood rain spread all over the sky instantly, and the Xia army soldiers in front of the Modao Army were all empty.

Seeing that just one slash, it was like hundreds of thousands of Xia army soldiers slashing over the ground and turning into corpses on the ground. Feng Deyi finally believed Chen Ying's words. In this case, there was indeed no need to retreat.

Because the Tang Dynasty is ready to win.

If the Xia army soldiers were a torrent, the Modao Army formation was like a stubborn stone in a torrent, allowing the torrent to rush, but they remained motionless.

However, Liu Heita seemed to have not seen Wang Xiaohu's troops bleed in front of the Modao Army formation. He firmly implemented his strategy and drowned them with blood.

Liu Heita gritted his teeth, endured heavy casualties, and continued to attack wildly.

At this moment, he led his subordinates to bypass the front of the Modao Army and rushed towards the hook and sickle lances on the wings of the Modao Army.

When the two sides were still more than 500 steps away, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui rode their horses together to clamp the horse's belly. The war horse felt the main force's high fighting spirit, stepped on four hooves and rushed towards Liu Heita's troops.

The ridge of the hook and sickle spear is very thick, and four terrifying blood grooves are opened on the body of the gun. It is not very sharp. It weighs eleven pounds and stabs out with all its strength under the inertia of the war horse. What armor can block it? Of course, the hook and sickle spear is not only sharp, but also very terrifying. The armor is similar to paper-paste in front of the hook and sickle spear.

Liu Heita succeeded, and he did overwhelm the enemy with his blood.

At this time, the hook and sickle cavalry cavalry caused blood rain in the Xia army formation, with broken limbs and broken arms, and blood and flesh flying everywhere. Thrilling screams and painful wails were endless.

Feng Deyi couldn't bear to watch it, so he slowly closed his eyes.

Although he couldn't see it for a while, the pungent smell of blood still came to his nose, causing his six senses torture.

At this time, Chen Ying finally understood why Liu Heita was so difficult in history. This guy was not only cruel, but also smart. He adopted a real tide attack. The Modao Army could not attack and directly bypassed the enemy. The hook and sickle lance cavalry could not defeat it, and also bypassed the enemy directly.

Bypassing the hook, sickle, spearmen and Modao Army who were lined up to the front, the Xia army's front approached the left and right guards.

The left and right guards of the East Palace were equipped with first-class equipment of this era, but the left and right guards of the East Palace did not leave the scope of the army of this era. If one-on-one, or one-on-two, the left and right guards of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty would never be at a disadvantage.

However, facing several times or ten times the superior forces attacked, their pressure was greatly increased.

The Tang army's Shooting Army desperately poured arrows at the Xia army soldiers. When they shot down a group of them, another group would immediately rush up. These Xia army soldiers with red eyes and ferocious faces were sluggish and frightened.

It's not their fault. In fact, without a strong heart, this kind of situation can really scare the enemy. For example, in North Korea, they encountered such a tide of offensive, and the continuous enemies made them sluggishly. Facing a crazy attack, it takes so much courage.

The pulling force of a stone bow is 120 kilograms, and ordinary shooters can shoot a pot of arrows, that is, fifteen. They can already exhaust their physical strength. In fact, it is not easy to use this kind of human-sea offensive to break through the defense line of the left and right guards of the East Palace.

Because the left and right guards of the East Palace are not ordinary Tang soldiers, they all equipped three types of equipment, and crossbows are the ten necessary 15,000 soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion. Each of them can be a crossbowman. Of course, the shooting accuracy will not be very good, and Chen Ying cannot train the left and right guards of the East Palace to become an advantageous archer.

In fact, when facing densely crowded enemies, accuracy is really no longer important. Even if you shoot with your eyes closed, you have to shoot a few people. As long as the direction is good, there will definitely be no problems.

Huai'an King Li Shentong watched the hook and sickle spearmen fall into the quagmire of Xia soldiers, and the Mo Dao Army could not withdraw. At this time, the front led by the left and right guards of the East Palace were in danger again. He said worriedly: "They want to use their lives to exhaust our soldiers' physical strength and give them arrows, but I'm afraid they are not good!"

"If you want to exhaust the soldiers' physical strength, I'm afraid they won't have that many lives!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "Guo Luo, go to the civil servant camp to ask, put the crossbow machine on the strings, give them ten cents with an arrow, and ask if anyone does it? No one does it only twenty cents!"

Crossbows are different from bows and arrows. After the crossbow string is turned, the crossbow string is buckled on the machine bracket, and the machine bracket can be pulled for shooting. In this way, even civilians who have not been trained can do it.

Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to ask the civil servant camp to ask about this matter, but the civil servants flocked to it. Ten cents of money are really nothing to Chen Ying, but for the civil servants, it was a liter of rice and a meal. The two of them were in a group, laying on the ground, placing the crossbow string on the crossbow machine with their feet, and then loading the arrows, and the ten cents were obtained.

As four or five thousand civilians stepped forward, the Tang army's arrow rain became denser in an instant.

Seeing the people of Hebei behind the Tang army's robes and shooting themselves with crossbows and arrows, these Xia army soldiers couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. It was really difficult to use human lives to exhaust Chen Ying's arrows and the soldiers' physical strength.

Chen Ying was very calm. Four or five thousand civilians came with the army. Anyway, he was rich, and there were tens of thousands of Hebei civilians in Shahewan. They all wanted to make some money from Chen Ying to support their families.

Shooting a hundred thousand arrows is only one million yuan, one thousand guan, and a hundred thousand arrows can always kill thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. For Chen Ying, this is really too cheap.

When Liu Heita saw this scene, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He yelled angrily: "All the people in Hebei should be killed!"
