Chapter 186 Unexpected
However, being directly under the First Army is the trump card. In terms of hard power, it is far above the Song Army. The command is almost impossible, and it may not be impossible to win. Moreover, the own side has a superior force, and if there is a problem, it can be deployed quickly to save it. Let's see how much Di Qing has A few pounds.
"Quite!" Because the opponent's troops were few and the atmosphere was weird, Night Breeze only said, "I'll give you 30,000 troops!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin urged his horse to come out, and shouted at Di Qing: "My old Cheng is here to meet you!"
At the same time as the words fell, Cheng Yaojin was really not polite at all, and turned directly to the commanders of the three strongest corps: "123 Corps, follow me to fight!"
"Obey!"
The 30,000 soldiers rushed out quickly, which was a square formation. Cheng Yaojin chose to arrange the 30,000 troops in a straight line in the original square formation, forming a long snake formation.
However, there is something wrong with the structure of his long snake array, the length and width are not balanced enough, if you pull your eyes to a high enough position and look down, the bottom looks more like a snake that has been cut to only one third.
This formation belongs to the top ten formation series, there is no problem, but there will not be as many changes as the one-word long snake formation.
The formation was formed, and both sides rushed towards each other.
Because of the formation of Song Jun, three formations were constantly rotating when hedging. From the sky, it looked like a rolling wheel, while Cheng Yaojin's formation was a long snake formation, so he charged straight.
The distance between the two sides was not far away, and the former army quickly rushed within range.
At this time, the Song army was at the forefront of the cloud formation composed of archers. When they stared, all the soldiers drew their bows and arrows in unison. Tens of thousands of arrows exploded. The army immediately hit back with arrows.
hum!
Two rows of arrows went up to the sky and collided together, the clear sound of breaking the wind resounded!
Between the two armies, the dense arrows covered the sky and covered the sky, directly making the place where the arrow rain meets a little dark.
The arrows were shot from both sides, causing the airflow to be slightly turbulent.
ding ding!
More than 20,000 arrows were shot against each other. In this case, the arrows that should have appeared in the match between sharpshooters, under this large base, there were also many, dozens of arrows colliding hit the ground.
And more fell into the two camps.
Jingle! Puff! Puff!
The sound of the collision of arrows and shields, and the sound of swords piercing into flesh could be heard endlessly. Hundreds of people fell from both camps, and the others all went forward against the shields.
One wave stopped, and the second wave came again.
This time, due to the close distance, in addition to projectiles, there are also cross-shots. At the same time, the strength of the arrows is also increased. Many of the arrows that pass through the shield can retain a lot of strength and can be fatal.
This time, more than 300 people were killed by both sides, not counting the wounded.
At this time, the Song army moved, and the halberd formation that was originally on the left rear rushed over, and the archers turned away.
As soon as the halberdman arrived, Cheng Yaojin also noticed it immediately, and immediately issued an order, "Prepare the heavy shield!"
The ace troops, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Corps are the top of the aces, well-trained, and they can make adjustments quickly when the order comes.
Di Qing was surprised, because in his expectation, Sui Jun would suffer a bit from this transfer, and it was beyond his expectation that he could change so quickly.
Boom!
The heavy shields of the two armies collided instantly, and the sound of the shock resounded!
Dazzling halberds stabbed continuously from the gaps in the heavy shields, and in the middle of the camp, archers threw bows and arrows one after another, fighting fiercely and stalemate.
In this confrontation, Sui Jun did not suffer at all.
However, at this time, the Song army's cloud formation composed of archers also began to shoot arrows from the side. This is directly under the First Army.
creak!
Night Breeze, who was behind, clenched his fists, obviously dissatisfied with Cheng Yaojin's arrangement, but he was not in a hurry to give any orders.
Cheng Yaojin was not that bad either, and immediately ordered, "Formation change: Double dragons come out of the water formation!"
As soon as the order came out, the Third Corps at the end immediately turned around and rushed towards the Song Army's cloud formation.
As soon as Cheng Yaojin's order came out, the third corps at the end immediately turned around and rushed towards the cloud formation of the Song army.
Obviously, archers cannot face infantry head-on. Di Qing knew this very well, but he was not in a hurry to withdraw the archers, but let the cavalry move closer.
The third army is at the back, and now they are coming to the front. The distance is not short, and the movement is like a snake trying to sweep its tail.
Before the two armies met, there were still two shots of arrows. This almost did not require an order, and the army responded independently. This is the quality.
Shooting without orders belongs to free shooting, and it cannot be uniform. It is not as powerful as a corps salvo. It is strong because it takes a long time, and weak because it is scattered.
On Di Qing's side, there was an order, and a wave of arrows shot out in a uniform movement. The archers immediately retreated neatly, and at the same time, the cavalry on standby rushed forward.
When the Sui army approached, they were greeted by the cavalry of the Song Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin couldn't keep up with this adjustment speed and rhythm arrangement.
The infantry did not organize their defense against the cavalry, which was tantamount to death.
As soon as the cavalry of the Song Dynasty came into contact with the three corps of the Sui Army, the ruthless trampling of the horses came immediately. At one time, more than 300 soldiers at the front were killed, either by guns or trampled by the horses.
Cheng Yaojingang paid attention to the First Corps, and when he saw the accident in the Third Corps, he quickly ordered: "Rolling knife!"
In fact, it is useless, he said, some soldiers have already used it spontaneously.
The rolling knife method is one of the worst ways for infantry to deal with cavalry, because it requires people to roll under countless horses to chop off the horse's feet, and it requires very high response from soldiers.
However, even if the reaction is fast enough to cut off the horse's foot in front, it is likely to be trampled to death by the horse behind, or the horse that cut off the horse's foot will fall down and be crushed, which can be said to be killing people.
This kind of bad method is only used as a last resort, and the current situation, in Cheng Yaojin's view, has reached the moment of last resort.
At this moment, none of the soldiers in the front retreated, and they made a balanced impact on the spot, and the sword and shield were flattened.
Flutter!
Half of the soldiers failed and sacrificed in vain. Half of the soldiers successfully reached the horse's feet, and were trampled to death by the horses behind them. One horse followed by a third was not so lucky.
At this time, seeing that there was no order, the commander of the Third Corps began to direct the rear army to shoot and assist the front army, and the cavalry of the Song Dynasty also fell one after another.
"Cavalry out!"
The first army directly under it is also a standard corps with horses. Now that the corps has not been dismantled, the third corps can also form more than a thousand cavalry. Under the order of the corps leader, the cavalry at the rear immediately detoured and prepared to move towards the side of the Song army. shock.
However, there is still no way to save the loss of the front army immediately with these kinds of reactions. What the front army can do now is to kill horses and use their lives to pile up with the cooperation of bows and arrows behind.
This style of play looked stupid, and Ye Feng clenched his fists more and more tightly watching from behind.
Cheng Yaojin can't play Di Qing well, and he can't take care of the beginning and the end.
However, Di Qing was also secretly shocked. What surprised him was the quality of the soldiers. "Which expert trained this soldier?"
Song Jun also knows the ground-rolling knife technique, but he has never used it, but Di Qing knows very well that if the situation is reversed, Song Jun will definitely not be as good as Sui Jun.
The first is the psychological quality of the soldiers, and then the physical quality. In both respects, the Song Army cannot compare with the Third Corps.
If it were soldiers from the Song Army, it would have been a success if ten men could take off two new horses, while the Sui Army could kill six to seven horses.
Legion rankings tend to be more powerful the higher they are. A legion with such strength can only rank third in the legion. So the first legion must be even more powerful?
Thinking of this, Di Qing turned his head and looked quickly at the phalanx that was in contact with the First Corps. With just such a little effort, a gap was opened in Song Jun's heavy shield phalanx, and the First Corps rushed in.
The soldiers of the First Corps who entered the Song Army formation were all very brave. They fought with shields, swung knives, and kicked. Most of the soldiers of the Song Army who faced multiple times could easily win and take the opponent's life.
This is the First Corps, the ace corps of the ace corps!
