Chapter seven hundred and sixty six.
The war was in progress at noon and finally reached the most intense and cruel stage!
Amid the rumbling sound, more than 200 tiger squatting cannons were fired again. Pill-sized shells drilled into the army like the judge's death pen. With a shrill scream, the flesh-and-blooded Jing Chu army was immediately knocked over a large row.
The role of training is reflected. There are arrays retreating in the training subjects of the Chang'an Corps. If other warlords of this era, even Guan Yu's Jingchu elite soldiers, had to escape with a gecko cut off their tails, leaving the troops behind the palace to let the Qin army kill, and the large troops retreated. However, the Chang'an Corps fought step by step as the command of its officers panting and fearing.
In the gaps in the array, the powerful crossbows were also constantly shooting. The shells, crossbows, and the comrade Jing Chu who had broken his thighs and fell to the ground and screamed shrillly, causing the front of the Qin army to slowly retreat back. Although it had paid a lot of money, it still joined his large army.
"A charge!"
The harsh training effect reflects the vivid and exhausted second formation five regiments retreated to the front of the town. The first heavy infantry broke the formation, which had just been repaired for dozens of minutes, once again rushed out of the gaps in the array with Xuanhua axe. The light infantry of Jingchu tried to catch up from the side of the formation and kept raiding and chasing the heavy infantry formation, but was caught off guard and hundreds of people were stabbed and killed.
The tired second formation continued to retreat, carrying the gun formation on the front, and the light infantry that drew their swords to defend the gap, maintaining a hundreds of meters array, fighting with the Jingchu army, which had a total of tens of thousands of people.
"Staff Officer Sima! Guan Gou is attacking from the flank!"
Deng Ai's forehead was already covered with sweat. It was Cao Zhang who was left behind in the central army, but Sima's old thief was staring at him and Wang Changle who might be a bad thing, which forced him and Wang Changle to stay in the central army. This was the first time in his life that he commanded a large army to fight. Even Deng Ai was nervous in his heart as if he was suffocating.
He finally withdrew the five regiments of the outbreak. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his subordinates reported anxiously. The number of people had this advantage. They could surround and invade from all directions. Seeing that parallel to the left and right of the army, two 4,000 Jingchu infantry were separated, and they gathered together on both wings to form a regiment, and they had to attack him at any time. After taking a breath, he shouted loudly again nervously.
"The fourth regiment of the Central Army will fight left and right. In addition, the tenth regiment of the Later Army will be ordered to turn the array and defend against the attacks of the thieves behind the scenes. They will also arrange staggered formations and send signals to return to the Jianrui Camp!"
With the order, the four regiments on the left and right wings of the central army turned left and right like machines. The axe and gun he picked up suddenly dropped, and the meteor ran quickly toward the Jingchu army who were coming from left and right, and just happened to fight with the Chu army who had reorganized the array.
At the same time, the ten regiments that had not participated in the war in the rear army also turned neatly backwards under the orders, and then crossed them in a staggered manner. The first five regiments marched twenty steps forward and defended on the spot.
In the air, in the sound of a whoosh, two arrows penetrated the clouds straight into the clouds. The female soldiers of Jianrui Camp who had been working on the restraining task suddenly turned around and hurriedly circled again, and followed the gaps in the military formation.
On the entire battlefield, the Chang'an Corps was like a big fish, with fish scales arranged in a complete defensive formation. In the direction facing the rear army, two infantry under Guan Yu and more than 2,000 Jingchu cavalry all walked around and launched wave after wave of raids on the Qin army's front. The Chang'an Corps, with only 12,000 people, fell into the state of being attacked from both sides in just half an hour. Yanyan E-book
However, this was also expected before the war started. The next task was to defend until the nightfall!
…………
It was entirely relying on the flesh and blood to resist the impact. Behind the formation, the fierce roar of the war horses, the Jingchu cavalry with a rifle clenched in fear, but under the order, they had to rush forward to the heavy infantry of the Qin army who was defending with guns. The horse's hooves ran, facing the black cavalry team like a car. The infantry of the Chang'an Corps who defended the front seemed to have forgotten the same fearful breath, but the training that had been integrated into their bones made them tremble all over, and they still held the spear tightly, bent down slightly, and remained motionless.
The impact was like a splash of waves hitting the reef. The infantry formation was knocked back and shrank by about half a meter. Amid the crisp sound of fractures, the first row of heavy infantry soldiers facing the cavalry charge and even the arms were broken, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.
However, even when facing heavy cavalry charges, the heavy infantry with strict discipline and heavy equipment are not so easy to be defeated, let alone these fighting light cavalry under Guan Yu's command, they were stabbed down by sharp spears in the charge, and the remaining cavalry with no charge power carried their halberds and chopped into the military formation without any advantage. In the infantry who recovered from the impact, they were constantly hooked off the horse. Finally, for more than ten minutes of fighting, there was a corpse on the ground and more than a hundred war horses without a master. The Jingzhou cavalry retreated.
However, before the Qin army could breathe for a while, amid the tide of shouting and killing, the Chu army, who had been around the Guanzhong Corps, shouted and launched an attack again.
The pressure of the rear army was quite small, and the front army was the most difficult part of the entire corps. After the 15,000 main force of the Jingzhou Legion and more than 10,000 captured Xiangyang, the Wuxi barbarian army, who recruited prisoners, kept throwing into the formation and launching an attack like a tide. A heavy infantry in Guanzhong even had to face the attack of several people.
The staggered formation arranged here in Deng Ai took effect. The first level of military formations met the enemy. The Chu army, who rushed in from the gaps between the military formations, faced the gun formations of the back of the rear. In the gaps, the well-trained light infantry continued to guard the backs of the front row and fought against the Chu army's short weapons that broke in.
In this way, the pressure of the first formation was reduced, and the Jingchu army, which broke into the first and second formations, faced two attacks.
But even so, as he rode on the horse, watching his legion fall into a raid of several times as much as his own, the enemy surrounded by the ocean, Deng Ai was still nervous at every moment, as if he was breathless.
Moreover, the advantage of having many soldiers and widespread generals can also take turns to attack. On this front, the Jingchu army on the front line was just repelled. Before the Chang'an infantry took a break, the second formation was invaded like a wave. But he could only take a short breath by adjusting the first and second formations. The battlefield was so tense that it was suffocating.
On this side, Deng Ai was so nervous that he couldn't help but tremble. Guan Yu's maroon face on the opposite side became increasingly cold. Under the floating Guan-shaped banner, he watched his carefully trained troops be repelled by these Guan-zhong opponents in waves. Each impact also caused an extremely heavy casualty, and the muscles on his cheeks were also twitching slightly.
"The rear army, the hammer soldiers, join the attack in the next wave!"
The slap was twisted against the heavy Xuanhua axe handle, and the back of his hand was filled with blue veins. Seeing that the sun had begun to tilt to the Qin army, the dazzling sunlight shone on his troops' eyes, Guan Shouhou shouted in a particularly majestic voice!
