Du Guoliang never dreamed that the enemy holding the bow and arrow would turn into a spearman and rush towards him with a scream!

What should I do?

His boss didn't give him much time to think about it. The harsh whistle and the officer's shouts rang out immediately. Du Guoliang and his comrades had been trained to react in a conditioned manner, and subconsciously raised the crossbow machine that had already been in the cluster of arrows, and used a crossbow support to push his shoulders, aiming the sight of the head of the crossbow machine at the enemy who was rushing towards him. The crossbow player in the second row also put the crossbow machine on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers. The third row and the fourth row were holding the crossbow and waiting for the aircraft.

Now the tactics of the Republican crossbowmen have changed a little, from the earliest three rows of overlapping to the current two rows of overlapping. A crossbowmen is equipped with four gangs (30 people per group), and can list four rows of horizontal lines. This way, you can shoot in two plucks. When you finish shooting in the first and second rows, when you bend over and turn the strings, the third and fourth rows will be stacked. Then it is the first and second rows of shooting.

In this way, you can use crossbowmen arranged in four rows to produce continuous firepower!

Two short and rapid whistles sounded, which was the order to fire crossbow arrows. Du Guoliang had already pointed the crossbow machine at a group of figures twenty or thirty steps away. Now that he heard the order, he pressed the trigger without hesitation. With a "bang", the triangular sharp arrow left the string and flew towards the target at an extremely fast speed. Before Du Guoliang could see clearly whether the arrow shot the figure. Zhang Erdan howled at the top of his throat: "There are all people, turn right... retreat!"

We are going to retreat!

But that's right. The opponent's spearmen were almost rushing up and there was no time to shoot again.

Du Guoliang quickly put on his crossbow machine on his back, turned to the right, and followed the soldiers in front of him and ran away. Just as they ran away, the crossbow soldiers in the third row and the fourth row also raised the crossbow machine in his hands, and soon shot out a cluster of three-edged arrows with huge lethality.

At the same time, the arrows were shot by six crossbow soldiers affiliated to two divisions (regiments). A total of 720 crossbow soldiers fired in two groups. At least 300 Khitan soldiers were shot over.

Considering the lethality of the triangular arrow cluster, these 720 crossbow arrows caused at least 200-300 Khitan soldiers to be injured and killed. Moreover, if all the injured are not treated in time, they will be in danger of life.

Such casualties are usually unbearable for the army of the nomadic empire.

But it was early morning and winter again. The sky was still dark. The Liao soldiers of the stormtroopers could not see the situation on the battlefield around Daqing. I don’t know how many comrades fell down on my side, but I saw the opponent running away, so my morale was greatly boosted and I rushed to the scene.

Zhang Erdan and Du Guoliang were quite lucky. They ran faster and were not hit by the Liao people. However, the crossbowmen in the third and fourth rows were in trouble. They had no time to withdraw, so they had to draw out their swords and carry them hard.

On the ice of the Liaohai Sea, the crossbowmen of the Republican Army and the spearmen of the Liao army collided opposite one opposite. This was a collision between the spearmen and the sword soldiers! No matter how sharp the sword was, it could not match the spears. The moment the two sides collided, the Republican soldiers fell down!

Fortunately, the Liao people's spearmen were loose and they were shot a lot before, so the impact was limited, and it was not enough to destroy the battle formation composed of more than 300 crossbowmen.

However, the Republican crossbow soldiers who were suddenly hit hard were also a little confused. They always thought that the Republican Army (Youzhou Army) was invincible and the Liao soldiers were no match for the battle. Unexpectedly, as soon as they went to the battlefield, they would knock it down with a stick! Many comrades who were talking and laughing during the New Year’s Eve dinner were now pierced by the Liao people’s spear.

Some are dead, some are still screaming!

Above the ice field, the smell of blood still spreads.

More than 200 Republican soldiers who had not yet fallen were in desperate situations. Their front was broken by more than a thousand Liao army spearmen and they fell into a hard struggle.

Du Guoliang did not run away. At this time, he also heard screams and scolding, and found that his comrades were being beaten by a group. His head buzzed, and his blood was surging, and his anger ignited. He drew out his long sword and roared loudly: "You guys, how can the barbarians let my comrades kill my comrades!"

As soon as they shouted, the other retreating crossbow soldiers also drew their long swords. Most of these crossbow soldiers were "primary school students" in Youzhou, and they were Confucian scholars who kept their swords away. Their eyes were filled with their eyes and statues of Confucius holding swords! On weekdays, fencing is also a compulsory course.

Zhang Erdan’s swordsmanship was not good, but he saw that the group of new recruits had drawn out their swords, so he couldn’t be too timid. Otherwise, how would he command in the future? So he gritted his teeth, drew out the sword, and shouted: “Preserve the laws of heaven, destroy the barbarians, and rush forward!”

Go!

Not only did Zhang Erdan and his men rush up, but the other eleven knights also drew their swords to charge, and also made earth-shaking shouts.

More than 360 soldiers holding sharp swords rushed up from the left wing of more than 200 Republican crossbowmen who had already gained the upper hand and were fighting more than 1,000 Liao spearmen. They did not fight alone, but gathered in groups while running and then crashed into them. They also caught the Liao people off guard!

The two sides collided, and the crackling sound of sharp swords piercing into the human body kept ringing. Sometimes there were screams and scolding. Blood was rushing around the battlefield, flowing onto the ice surface, and immediately frozen into a layer of red blood ice.

Du Guoliang used his shield to hold a long spear that he had slapped, and then stabbed the sword hard at a rough-looking Khitan warrior. Du Guoliang has practiced real traditional martial arts! The sword in his hand, whether it is stab, swing, or blocking, is very powerful. He can pierce the Khitan leather armor with one sword!

Traditional martial arts are not fancy fists, but battle formation techniques, so strength training is indispensable. When stabbing people with a sword, of course, you have to stab a bloody hole with one sword.

The sword pierced into the Khitan's body and stuck on the ribs. The man screamed in pain, threw away his spear, grabbed the sword with both hands like crazy, and rushed towards Du Guoliang with his fat body.

Du Guoliang committed a murder for the first time. When he saw that the person he killed was crazy, he was panicked. However, the trick taught by the swordsman teacher has not forgotten that he must grasp the sword tightly when killing people!

You can drop anything, but you must not drop the sword!

So Du Guoliang held the sword tightly, and the Khitan man became fierce, howling and pressed him up, and was about to push Du Guoliang down.

At this time, another skill of traditional martial arts also played a role. A warrior next to Du Guoliang waved his long sword and poked the Khitan's neck. This was also the secret taught by the swordsman in Daxiangguo Temple Primary School!

When fighting, your companions should support each other! You must never foolishly watch your companions be chopped...

A sword was taken from his neck, and the Khitan man finally couldn't bear it anymore. The blood spurted out and sprinkled on Du Guoliang's head and face. He lost his strength and collapsed. His hands holding the sword were also released. Now Du Guoliang can finally draw out the sword and kill people.

Just as the crossbowmen of the Republican Army and the spearmen of the Liao army were in a group, the sword and shield hands of the Republican Army also passed over the spearmen in front of them and entered the battle group. Now the soldiers of both sides have been fighting together, and it is impossible to join the spearmen to attack.

Moreover, the spear used by the Republican army's spearmen and the cavalrymen used by the Liao people's dismounted cavalry are not the same size. The former is 18 feet long and is not a guy who fights melee at all.

So the sword and shield hands placed behind the spearmen were sent to assist in the battle! They were professional hand-to-hand combat soldiers, and they were not comparable to those of crossbow soldiers. As soon as these more than 700 people joined, the situation on the battlefield began to become beneficial to the Republican Army.

On the side of the Khitans, following the 2,000 Khitan soldiers who had turned from archers to gunmen, 2,000 auxiliary soldiers guarding the shop saw that the situation was wrong in front of them, and the dancer also killed the sword and shield.

This time the battle on the ice turned into four thousand Khitans fighting more than one thousand Republicans. The situation once again became unfavorable to the Republicans!

"Cabinet preparation!" Wu Jian found that the situation was not good on the slope of Huangjiagou and immediately ordered loudly, "The flying dragon horse that led me to the official!"

This general of the Republican Army is actually a general who likes to lead the way! He is preparing to lead the cavalry to rescue the soldiers on the front line.

However, the initial battle is not good now, and the combat effectiveness of the Liao cavalry after dismounting was stronger than expected. Wu Jian had no way to attack the spearmen, so he had to use knights to deal with the Liao soldiers.

His eighth general was an infantry general, but there was still a cavalry battalion with 500 half-armored knights. In addition, there were more than a dozen knights who could go into battle in Wu Jing's team. They were all recruited by Wu Jing and rushed down to Huangjiagou with the cavalry battalion.

More than 500 knights formed a loose formation and rushed towards the front-line battle group.

Even if it is a loose formation impact! Not everyone can make a formation of wall-like impact. Scout cavalry among infantry generals do not have this ability. Moreover, the two armies on the front line are entangled together, so it is not suitable to use wall-like impact to crush them.

So Wu Jing simply dispersed his formation and only launched a limited impact. He did not use a horse-drawn rifle, but prepared a saber and a bow.

After the impact, you must prepare for archery and hand-to-hand combat!

More than 500 cavalrymen rushed down the hillside by the sea like a strong wind! Wu Jian took the lead and rushed to the front. He did not rush into the battle group directly, but ran around the battle group that was fighting fiercely, waving his sabers, and slashed several Khitan warriors one after another.

Following his cavalry, he also joined the battle, either slashing or shooting arrows. Three or four thousand Khitan warriors were immediately in chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commanders of the Republican crossbow soldiers and sword and shield soldiers on the battlefield issued orders to retreat one after another.

It was not because I was afraid of the Khitans, but because I wanted to free up a passage for the spearmen in the rear.

The three or four thousand Khitans in front of me are in chaos. As long as the spearmen can rush up, they will be massacres one-sidedly.

But at this moment, Xiao Wuna had already arrived at the right wing of the Liao army. He found that his opponent had dispatched cavalry, and he didn't care about the big bullets, and immediately ordered the Liao army cavalry placed on the right wing to attack!
