Chapter two hundred and fourteen cruel
Woo~~Woo~~
The sound of the trumpet sounded the gloomy sky. Under the clouds, the huge "Li" star slowly moved, and the array of three thousand people advanced from west to east in three square arrays, arousing countless dust and smoke spreading in the sky.
Geng Qing was sitting in a four-wheeled wooden cart and was pushed to the nearby hill by the soldiers. There were hundreds of personal soldiers beside him. Looking from a high place, the Shen Ce army of tens of thousands of people was gathering in an array. The dense figures of people and horses were surging like waves.
"...The classic surround and support depends on who can stick to the end."
He whispered softly, saying that he had already let Li Jiji, Zhao Zhouyi, and the cavalry general named Fu Daozhao. The strategy had been basically improved by the three of them, and they were all long-time generals in the army. Geng Qing didn't have to worry about it, especially Du Rangneng and Wei Zhaodu, who had specifically investigated the deeds of the two in the past two days, and had no experience in leading troops, let alone fighting.
The emperor of Chang'an asked them to come out to lead the troops, which made Geng Qing feel incredible in the early days. When he reacted, the purpose was self-evident. The real killer should be Li Shunjie and his Longxiang Army.
"The power of the Shence Army only exists in the past, and is no longer the army in my understanding. It will only gradually fade into comfort. After this war, if we win, this army... will no longer exist."
Geng Qing stroked the edge of the wooden wheelbarrow and looked at the Chang'an army that was vaguely scattered from a distance for several miles away. After a moment, when the sound of a horn horn was heard from the big croaker of the word "Li" character, he turned his face. "It would be better to inform Li Liuhou that the Longxiang Army is the elite. Be sure to fight harder here and lead Li Shunjie out in advance. As for the Shen Ce Army in front of you..."
With the sound of desolate and long horns, his cheeks bulged, suppressing the surging in his heart, "...The Shen Ce Army in front of him will be defeated directly."
He looked at the advance of the smoke and dust, pressed his raised hand down, and said in a low voice.
"Here!"
The cavalry ordered his horse to turn over and rush down the hillside to advance to the army formation that was advancing below. Soon, there were different horn sounds, two long and one short.
Li Jiji looked up at the hillside behind and nodded, then waved his whip and rushed his horse to run through the square formation, shouting: "Bang the drum, move forward--"
The three square formations that advanced, flipped off their shields and stepped forward in front of the soldiers. The spear was like a forest. The archer slowly followed with his feather arrows, staring at the "black line" gathered at the end of his vision.
At the same time, the Dragon and Tiger Army was also quickly forming an array. Du Rangeng, as an army envoy, kept issuing orders to reorganize the army on the horse's back, checking weapons, and urging the military and legal teams to go to their respective positions. Wei Zhaodu rode a horse and wandered around the formations, constantly asking the cavalry to urge the three armies of You Tianxing, You Shenwu, and You Yulin to reinforce him.
Wei Zhaodu looked at the Three Thousand Longyou Army advancing from afar, thinking about the various small-scale sneak attacks and harassments that had occurred before, gritted his teeth and issued an order.
"Notify the other three armies commanders to be wary of the other side's ambush halfway."
The cavalry ran away, and the army that was pushing in his eyes had reached two miles. Both sides could see each other. Wei Zhaodu's hands were trembling. He had led troops before, but this was the first time he was a literati in a real battle.
But no matter what, he would delay the enemy, entangle here, and complete His Majesty's instructions.
Wei Zhaodu took a look and Brother Qunyi, who was also looking at him, smiled at the other party. Then, he grabbed the hilt of the sword, pulled out the sword and raised it, shouting!
"Prepare--"
In the hoarse and high-pitched voice, the military formation was rustling, and the big shield was lowered, and one by one, he pulled the feather arrows and pointed it into the sky. At one moment, the two sides entered the battle line. Wei Zhaodu suddenly dropped his arm and slashed the sword: "Kill!"
Swish swish swish-
Thousands of arrows rose to the sky, and instantly formed a dark cloud and threw it towards the Longyou Army, which was about to reach the three thousand people. Li Jiji was guarded in the rear without his orders. The commander in the three formations was already shouting loudly at this time, and the formation was quickly tightened. Shields were raised above the heads of the man and spliced them together, covering the spear and the archer beside him. The next moment, dense rain of arrows flew over a hundred feet to spread.
Crack-
Countless arrows were nailed to the copper and iron sheets wrapped in shields. Some of them penetrated through the gap and stuck in people's shoulders to bring blood. The soldiers who were caught in the arrows exhaled in pain, and the rain of arrows fell, and Li Jiji's voice sounded.
"fight back!"
The shield was opened, and the hiding archer raised his arms to the sky. The longbow of the border army was slightly more penetrating than the one in the hands of the Shence Army. With the sound of strings, arrows surged into the sky and covered the opposite army formation.
The arrows were nailed to the shield and bounced away or directly on it, and there were also penetrating through the shield, which was more than half pierced into the face, arms, shoulders, and shields screamed shrillly, falling down in the array, and the space that fell out was then filled by the arrows that followed. Instantly, blood was splashed in the crowd, and various screams and screams... buzzing together.
"Wei Zhaodu...is okay."
Li Jiji looked at the military formation opposite and murmured. The array under the longbow was quickly correcting and filling the gap. He raised his arm and raised a finger.
In the flank square formation, the five hundred light cavalry rush out with a bang, avoiding the front line and turning a long arc, pulling a bow and placing an arrow on the horse's back.
In the Dragon and Tiger Army, a thousand light cavalry were also running out of the flanks. Both sides were Tang army's standard corner bows, and they were not equipped with excellent equipment. Only the number of people and combat experience was compared. Shence Army was generally aware that the number of Longyou troops on the opposite side was less than that of them, but they were rich in experience. They did not fight with the other side, but they shot for a while and pushed them up directly, relying on the number to suppress the other side.
While running, the light cavalry of the Longyou Army dispersed instantly, using several cavalry and ten cavalry as teams, agilely controlled the war horses, while pulling the bow and shooting arrows, while pulling a distance to cooperate with the companions, and not fighting with the opponent in close combat.
In just a moment of confrontation, the Dragon and Tiger Army's light cavalry suffered a loss. Many people were caught in the arrow and left their horses behind. Wei Zhaodu did not dare to withdraw them. Once there were no cavalry to restrain the opponent's light cavalry, the right square formation would be constantly harassed.
"Push the left and right wings and eat these three thousand people!"
Thoughts flashed through my mind. Wei Zhaodu did not dare to hesitate and quickly made up his mind to issue an order. The two square formations of two thousand men located on the left and right of the central army changed their persistence posture and kept the neat formation slowly advancing towards the front line.
"Kill him!"
Almost at the same time, Li Jiji issued the same order on the horse's back. The array of three thousand people slowly pushed out. The archer hid behind the shield and shot while walking. The arrows crossed the front line and fell into the array of advances between the two sides and splashed blood.
The moment both sides approached the front line, the commanders of the three square formations drew their swords and roared: "Kill--"
"kill!!"
Three thousand people shouted almost at the same time, and their shields were connected together. The spears moved down to form a forest of guns, and they suddenly ran. The steps of the steps exploded and shaking the ground in the field.
"kill--"
The four thousand people from the Dragon and Tiger Army opposite were also shouting, interspersing into the battlefield from left to right. After the arrows shot caused some waves in the crowd, staring at the approaching three thousand people, many soldiers gritted their teeth, holding their weapons' hands, arms, and steps trembled at this moment.
Then, he opened his mouth so hard, let out a roar of "Ahhhhhh--" and squeezed his comrades to face the same rushing Longyou Army--
Boom boom boom boom!
The shield was against the shield, and the body behind the shocked shield was stiff and retreated. Countless spears around them poked out into the cracks, slashing the top of the person's head, stabbing the shield, and stabbing the other side's door, and stabbing the body wildly.
Puff!
Puff puff puff —
