Chapter 34 The sound of the gong 3
The whole line was fought fiercely, but the troops were concentrated to attack one point. The crossbow was shot and the sharp soldiers followed the breaking of the formation. This was the standard tactic of the Qin army. After five shots, the sharp soldiers in front of the crossbow formation immediately formed a ten-row military formation in depth and advanced with beryllium. Even if there were shields in the front row of the Chu army, they were shot and injured by the crossbow arrows. As soon as the long beryllium hand came up, it broke all the shields and began to chisel the formation.
Only the Yi Jue formation was only a small shield. The palace armor holding the spear in the front row was covered with crossbow arrows, but they stood firmly with the earth-to-ground spear. When the sharp soldiers rushed over, the palace armor raised the earth-to-ground spear, and they fell to the ground.
"Kill!" The sharp man holding beryllium and the palace armor holding spear, and they both drank wildly.
Standing in the front row were the head of the pawns and the head of Shi. The head of the pawns and the head of the pawns were all shot by crossbows. The palace armor in the back row had been holding its breath for a long time to wait for the sharp men to come. The long beryllium of the sharp men had not yet touched the spear, so the palace armor that held the spear high rushed out first. This was not a desperate resistance, but an angry counterattack!
"Kill--!" Seventy rows of spearmen retaliated. Before they could swing beryllium, the front row was stabbed by a sharp spearhead. The two layers of leather armor could not stop the huge iron spearhead with a hardness of twice the bronze. They were instantly pierced. There was no gap or time to pull the spearhead when charging. The spearhead did not pull out and poke back, and the bloody spearhead continued to rush towards the back row of spearhead.
Raising a long soldier with his hands was not good at blocking it. A bloody spearhead suddenly appeared on his teammate who was advancing. The distance was so short that no one could guard against it. The second row of sharp men was either dead or injured, but he was alert to the third row of sharp men who had avoided it. The spearhead that penetrated his body again stabbed the air, but the second row of the spearheads arrived again, and the sharp men who gave up the queue were killed immediately.
In ancient and modern times, spears and spears are recognized as kings of hundreds of soldiers. Any weapon that encounters a spear will always be suppressed by three points in its momentum. It is slender, sharp, and persevering. Once it strikes forward, any formation is unstoppable. Even if the heavy cavalry, which is fully equipped in a few hundred years, dares to rush straight to the spear formation. Instead, they have to wait for cracks and gaps to appear in the array to attack the spear formation at a diagonal forty-five degrees. This is brave; those who are vulgar will take advantage of the inconvenience of turning the spear formation and impact both sides and the back of the formation.
The beryllium of the Qin army's sharp men was similar to the spear, but the military rules always show that any universal weapon was always inferior to that of the dedicated weapon. The beryllium that could cut and stab was completely inferior to that of the spear that could only stab forward. This was not because of the difference in length between the two sides, but the mentality of the soldiers holding the army. The angry Gong Jiashu rushed forward and there was nothing else. The spear stabbed into the enemy's body and could not be pulled out, so they pulled out the cavalry sword to rush to kill the enemy. In the heart-wrenching shouts, the Gong Jias abandoned the spear and drew the sword, and rows of sharp men fell to the ground.
'You can't win if you kill the enemy, but you can win if you advance.' This is the most important sentence that Lian Po said to Xiong Jing on the long journey from Yingdu to Xi County. The words are very short, with only ten words, but they tell the truth that countless military strategists tried hard to express but failed to express.
When two armies fight, they do not rely on soldiers, but on arrays. Killing soldiers can indeed weaken the enemy's army, but this will not cause the enemy's array to collapse. Instead of pursuing killing the enemy, it is better to let the army persevere towards the enemy and move forward unswervingly. Only by advancing can we compress the enemy's activity space through collision, pushing, squeezing... and causing the enemy's military formation to eventually collapse.
The spear formation is moving forward unswervingly. When we are entering the seventh row of the Ruishi Army, the Ruishi in the back row involuntarily avoided the already crazy palace armor. One person avoided, ten people avoided, and hundreds of people avoided... Under the avalanche effect, the military formation collapsed.
"Long live! Long live! Long live--!" The Chu army, who was shot by the Qin army, could not raise their heads, was shattered by the sharp soldiers, and saw that the sharp soldiers were actually defeated by their own troops, and immediately shouted long live. With this shout, they also rushed towards the sharp soldiers in front of the formation. Although the spear was short, they completely ignored the impact of their lives. They immediately let the sharp soldiers retreat continuously and retreated to the end. Some of the most forefront Chu soldiers actually rushed into the Jiuzhang Crossbow Formation.
In order to achieve the best shooting effect, the crossbow formation was arranged less than thirty steps away from the front of the Chu army. At this time, the Chu army suddenly rushed over, and the crossbowmen were caught off guard. The sharp soldiers in double armor were hard to kill, but there was no long soldiers and no time to draw their swords. For a moment, the crossbows were crying and howling in the crossbow formation, and the crossbows fled everywhere.
"Not good!" Meng Wu, the chief general who was more than 300 steps behind, shouted that it was not good. This time, the Qin army had already formulated a strategy for the breakthrough of the central army, which was to have twenty rows of left and right armies, and the central army had forty rows. The forty rows of forty rows were not shallow, but in order to break the Chu army's sanitation at the flag flag, the central army actually made way out so that Zhang Bifeng could set up the formation.
The crossbowman Jizhang cannot fight in close combat, but the Ruiz in front of the formation cannot be regarded as sharp, but who could have expected that the Ruiz array would collapse!
The Ruishi formation collapsed, and the Chu army entered the crossbow formation, and the crossbow formation collapsed. Five hundred people behind the array immediately pulled the soldiers on both sides to make up. The officers at the collapse of the formation lined up in sparse rows. Facing the retreating Ruishi, the crossbowmen slashed and shouted while slashing, and ordered them to turn around and block the enemy immediately.
The battlefield was full of dust and shouts were shaking. It was impossible to judge whether the Chu army could penetrate the military formation. Meng Wu, who had to take out the talisman with body temperature, and shouted to the military officer: "The rear army quickly reinforces! The rear army quickly reinforces! Don't let the Jing people break the formation."
"Hi!" The military officer took the warm talisman with both hands, shouting, and ran quickly to pass the order.
Listening to the shouts of the military officers, Li Xin on the chariot was slightly anxious. He was opposed to the breakthrough of the central army, believing that he should attack from both wings as before. However, the formation map was not changed once it was issued, and the battle map was issued, so there was no time to change it.
Now, the central army did not attack, but instead was killed by the Jing people. The rear army, which should have been broken before the formation was launched, would join the military formation to prevent the Jing people from coming out.
"It's really Jingman." After receiving the order, the rear army rushed to the battlefield, and the Che You beside Li Xin said.
"What's the matter?" Li Xin didn't hear it very seriously, so he asked.
"Report to the general, the villain said: It's really Jingman." Che You was a craftsman. He was older than Li Xin, with his horoscope and a typical old Qin man. Because he was close to him, he wore a double crown and no leather helmet. "The villain heard that Jingman was the most barbaric. If he waited for him to go crazy, ten people would not stop him."
How could Li Xin not know what kind of Jing people are? Looking at the rear army running forward, Li Xin subconsciously explained: "The general disturbed the Jing people several times, and then took down Jiangyi and cut off the food route, all of which were to slaughter the Jing people's spirit."
"Ran Jingren..." What did the Jijun do in the past few days, Che You knew or didn't know, but he was still wondering why the Jingren, who should have been suppressing and beating, was so tenacious. He also saw that the Ruishi Formation collapsed, which was something that had never happened to the Zhao army.
"The Jing people are so angry, all of them are King Jing." After Li Xin said that, he felt that he did not need to explain the matter on the battlefield to his personal side. His tone changed, and his words were cold-hearted: "You should not say more about the Jing people, otherwise anyone who sued you for disturbing the morale of the army and beheaded the head and showed it to the public will die unjustly."
Li Xin was usually kind, but his warning still made the right vest of the car sweat. He hurriedly said, "The villain remembers, the villain remembers, and I dare not say much about what Jingren is like."
Li Xin no longer looked at him, but only raised his feet to look at the Chu army formation. Apart from the fire-dropping weapon that threw fire bombs from time to time, he pierced through several Jing crossbows with one arrow. The Chu army's military flag was mixed with the Qin army flag, and the two armies were fighting in the Qin army array. The Chu army flag suddenly broke out and the former was already behind the crossbow array, and the barely maintained array was about to penetrate.
Nearly 30,000 rear troops came out in full swing, and the dust that was stomping up when advancing actually made the Chu army on the nest cart look at each other. At the end, Xiang Yan had to climb up to look far to determine the number of reinforcements of the Qin army's rear troops. Although the dust was too thick, he only saw a military formation about a thousand rows running quickly, and there was no way to tell how many people there were. Moreover, he did not know how many rear troops the Qin army generally left, and he did not know how many combat styles of Mengwu were in the hands.
"Where is General Lian?" There is an old man in the family, and he suddenly remembered Lian Po.
"Gen. Lian?" Peng Zong looked at him in surprise. "Isn't General Lian with the King?"
"In that military carriage?" Xiang Yan looked at the military carriage with flags. The central army counterattacked, and the military carriage with flags floated forward. In the eyes of the generals of the army, the military carriage had already represented the king.
"That's right." Peng Zong replied, pointing ahead again. "General, the Qin army's rear army will reinforce, and our army will retreat."
Restoration without a reserve team must not be too far away, let alone the enemy is launching large-scale reinforcements. Xiang Yan didn't understand this principle, but he could kill a few more Qin people by retreating a moment later. After finally restoring, how could he retreat immediately? Only when the Qin reinforcements come up will the gongs that order the central army to retreat will be sounded.
"Teacher thinks that our army should withdraw at this time?" Lian Po was also in the military carriage. He liked to stand near the military formation to watch the battle rather than in the rear army. The Yi Ju Formation counterattacked the sharp soldiers, and the Chu army entered the crossbow formation. In Xiong Jing's opinion, this was the moment of killing the big kill.
"The king thought it was not necessary to withdraw?" Lian Po asked with a smile. He liked to hear Xiong Jing talk about his opinions.
"If our army is thrown into Youque, it may break the Qin army's formation." Xiong Jing's army was watching the battlefield and the Yi Ji rushed forward, and he was extremely excited, as if he was rushing in front.
"Only entering Youque can defeat the Qin army's formation, but how can our army break the gap and turn the formation back?" Lian Po asked back.
"The formation of the left and right armies is redundant, so the left and right armies can be drawn into the central army, expand the gap, and reverse the formation." Xiong Jing thought for a while and said that this was no longer "fight side by side", but a military strategy class.
"No, no." Lian Po smiled and found the logic hidden in Xiong Jing's thoughts. "The battle in the formation is like playing chess, and you can't regret it. But the king wants to move the move to another place, but it's not."
