Chapter 1103: Advancing at a Snail's Pace! General Wang Ben Is Here to Join Us!

The Zi-shaped formation kept the basic formation structure and passed Tu Sui's troops, and then quickly shrank into a square formation. The shield soldiers stood their shields neatly on the ground, and the crossbowmen in the formation looked around vigilantly.

Then, the Chou-shaped formation advanced close to the edge of the Zi-shaped formation, and stopped when it was fifty feet southeast of the Zi-shaped formation.

Seeing five Hu bandits riding horses from a distance, Li Bo calmly ordered: "Don't pay attention to them, Yin troops continue to move forward!"

Hearing Li Bo's order, the Yin-shaped formation stood up and moved forward, and finally stood in the southwest of the Zi-shaped formation a hundred feet away.

Faced with this familiar step-by-step approach, almost all the soldiers of the Erleqin tribe focused their attention on Li Bo's troops, and dozens of Hu bandits gathered hundreds of troops and rushed towards the Yin-shaped square formation together.

Seeing this, Li Bo ordered in a deep voice: "Zi, Chou, and Yin crossbowmen, listen to my order, target the invading enemy."

"One round of flat shooting!"

Li Bo did not choose the three rounds of shooting commonly used in large-scale military operations, but only ordered the three crossbowmen to shoot all the crossbow arrows.

In an instant, 1,500 crossbow arrows pierced through the entire battlefield like 1,500 fishing nets, and covered all the Hu bandits who stepped into the crossfire network!

"This is the formation commonly used by General Li of Zhao State. Report to the king quickly! General Li is coming to kill!"

"It's the general flag with the word Li! I saw the general flag with the word Li! Retreat! Retreat!"

"Don't panic! The general Li in this battle is our ally, and the enemy on the opposite side will definitely not be that general Li. Charge forward! The enemy's crossbow arrows have been shot out, and now is our chance to kill the enemy!"

The familiar saturation crossfire network awakened the fear engraved in the bones of some Donghu veterans.

Although they escaped from the battlefield alive, they will never forget the mountains of corpses and seas of blood created by that battle, and will never forget the general flag with the word "Li" that chased them and killed them!

The Donghu generals shouted repeatedly, and finally stabilized the morale of the army, driving the remaining dozens of Hu bandits to continue to rush towards Yin's army.

Facing these scattered enemy troops, Li Bo said in a deep voice: "Mao's army continues to move forward."

"Mr. Yin's archers move forward and shoot the remaining enemies!"

In Li Bo's Yin's army, more than 20 Qin soldiers who were hunters hid behind the shield soldiers, staring at the Hu bandits who were whistling.

Although both sides held bows, the effective range of longbows was mostly two to three times that of shortbows!

Before both sides entered the range of shortbows, Mr. Yin's archers had already pulled the bowstring and shot the arrow in his hand!

Twenty arrows flew through the air, shooting eight Hu bandits off their horses. The remaining Hu bandits looked even more terrified, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful of the enemy's archers! Get out of the way!"

"Duck down and lie on your horse! Shoot a round with your bow and run!"

"Quick! Don't be stingy with your horsepower, charge!"

The remaining dozens of Hu bandits hurriedly lay on their horses, ran into the range of the short bow, and shot the arrows in their hands without even aiming, and then rode away without looking back.

This is a common tactic used by the Hu bandits, but it looks particularly panicked at this moment.

Li Bo finally cast his eyes on the fleeing Hu bandits, with a little regret: "It's a pity that Aung is not here, otherwise he would not let these Hu bandits get away!"

"Mao troops advance!"

Under Li Bo's command, the square formations were like playing the PLUS version of the "crossing the river by feeling the stones" game in the fun sports meeting. The twelve square formations did not move, and the last square formation advanced to the front. If they stood firm and the battle situation was suitable, the new last square formation would stand up and advance. The thirteen square formations advanced step by step in a crawler-like manner.

Each square formation was always within the range of friendly crossbows during its advancement. There were two mobile forces advancing with the large force, and they could always complete the support of a square formation or a certain direction at the first time.

If a small group of Hu bandits attacked, at least three troops could form a crossfire network, and then there were longbowmen who could shoot at scattered Hu bandits to avoid nuisance.

If the Hu bandits launched a general attack, Li Bo's troops would have 14/15 of their troops in formation ready for battle at any time, ready for a decisive battle at any time.

This tactic sacrificed more than 90% of its mobility, making Li Bo's troops as slow as a turtle. It would take one or two hours to cover a short distance of 100 feet.

However, this tactic also made Li Bo's troops' battle line very stable, making it difficult for the Hu bandits to attack. The front line of Li Bo's troops at the forefront was stable, and Tu Sui's troops following closely behind could form a long formation to block the northbound passage between Dongpo Mountain and Xiaonigou!

Seeing the battlefield space in the north being slowly but firmly compressed from a distance, Bater's eyes were condensed: "Wu'an Jun, Li Mu!"

According to the records of the clan, when Zhao and Tungus went to war, Zhao's Wu'an Jun used this outrageously slow tactic to annihilate the main force of Tungus, and then suddenly accelerated the speed to pursue Tungus, which led to Tungus's defeat.

Today, the past that the Great Shaman had mentioned reappeared before Bater's eyes, and the experience of the disastrous defeat also gave Bater a flash of inspiration.

Bater looked at the Qin army's banner in the northeast, and then looked at Li Bo's troops in the north, and murmured softly: "The enemy left the Tungus warriors no space to gallop freely, tied the horses' hooves with invisible ropes, and forced my Tungus warriors to fight to the death with the enemy in a narrow area."

"Then use the long spears and heavy crossbows in their hands to kill my Tungus warriors!"

"Wu'an Jun is like this, and Chang'an Jun is also like this!"

After thinking this through, Bater shouted anxiously: "Pass on this king's order!"

"The Yamanpan tribe must cross the Beiyishui River at all costs, and immediately move south to Taiping Valley, and then cross the Beiyishui River again in the northeast through Taiping Valley. Be sure to hold it..."

Before Bater finished giving the order, a roar suddenly reached Bater's ears.

"Kill!!!"

Bater immediately turned his head and looked back. Although he could not see the light reflected by the armor in the south, a few traces of despair had already emerged in his eyes. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "The central army moves south!"

"Hold the Beiyishui River at all costs!!!"

At the same time

Su Jiao stepped on the fishing boat and jumped onto the north bank of the Beiyi River. He looked at the short Gaoyi soldiers with unknown paint on their cheeks not far away and shouted in a deep voice: "Soldiers!"

"The commander is fighting on the east bank of the Juma River to win a chance for our army. Our army must not let him down!"

"Go ashore quickly!"

At the same time, Deng Ming also jumped up and shouted angrily: "In the battle of Zhuocheng, although we followed orders, hundreds of comrades died under the arrows of the Hu bandits."

"This hatred must be avenged!"

"Soldiers, revenge!"

Qu Lu and other 2500 commanders roared in unison: "Kill!!!"

Three thousand vanguards rushed to the river bank under the leadership of Deng Ming and Su Jiao, two captains, and quickly built a defensive line around the river bank, opening a landing channel for the comrades in the rear.

Although Bater's order had not yet arrived, Yamanpan knew very well that he must not let this enemy army march straight in.

Even though he was a little afraid, Yamanpan could only bite the bullet and shout: "Da Dui Lu Dular's troops advance to the river bank!"

A correct version in 16-9 book forum!

"Quick! Don't give the Qin army a chance to shoot crossbows!"

"Da Dui Lu Samajil led his knights to hide behind Dular's troops, using Dular's troops to cover the arrows."

"Once you find an opportunity, immediately disrupt the enemy's formation!"

Seeing more than 10,000 Gaoyi infantrymen rushing forward with wooden shields carved with ghost faces and strange beasts, Wang Ben, who was standing on the south bank of the Beiyi River, said in a calm voice: "Send a message to the two divisions of Duwei Su Jiao and Duwei Deng Ming."

"Form a square formation on the north bank of the Beiyi River, with crossbowmen in front, and don't be stingy with crossbow arrows."

"Diffuse fire to repel the enemy and gain space for the comrades in the rear!"

With the flag waved, the crossbowmen of Su Jiao and Deng Ming immediately advanced and formed a three-round shooting formation at the forefront of the Qin army.

They stretched out their thumbs to measure the distance between the two armies. When the Gaoyi infantrymen had completely entered the range of the Qin crossbows, Su Jiao and Deng Ming shouted together: "Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang~~~"

Accompanied by the sound of bowstrings exploding, more than 4,000 crossbow arrows shot into the sky, and after sliding through a perfect parabola, they fell towards Gaoyi's troops.

Dural shouted at the top of his lungs: "Raise your shields! Shield soldiers cover archers! Keep moving forward! Forward!"

"Only by killing the enemy can you survive!"

"Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Gaoyi soldiers clenched their wooden shields and continued to charge forward despite the rain of crossbow arrows. However, Gaoyi's armor and equipment were inferior to those of Donghu, and their fighting will could not be transformed into defense. How could they withstand the heavy bronze crossbow arrows?

"Charge! Run faster! Faster! As long as we can get close to the enemy, we can win!"

"Put your shield on me, I am the archer!"

"The shield, the shield has been shot through, report to Da Dui Lu quickly, our shield may not be able to block the enemy's arrows!"

For every zhang, dozens of Gaoyi soldiers died on the battlefield.

Corpses and blood pieced together a bloody road leading to the Qin army!

After paying the price of more than a thousand soldiers' lives, the front of Gaoyi finally reached 70 zhang in front of Su Jiao's troops.

Dular breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Archers, listen to my orders! No need to aim at the enemy, continue to hide behind the shield."

"All archers hold armor-piercing arrows and shoot arrows in the direction of the enemy!"

"Shield soldiers are in front, spearmen are on standby at any time!"

Samajir also spoke in a deep voice: "All units disperse, immediately expand to the left and right sides, and shoot the enemy on the boats."

"If you encounter enemy crossbows, immediately retreat here!"

More than 3,000 Gaoyi archers bent their bows and shot armor-piercing arrows in the direction of the Qin army.

More than 10,000 Gaoyi archers took advantage of the opportunity when the Qin army focused on Dular's unit, and immediately rushed out from behind Dular's unit, pulling the bowstrings at the weak points of the formations of Su Jiao and Deng Ming, or rushing around and shooting arrows at the Qin army on the fishing boats.

Facing Gao Yi's resistance, Wang Ben said calmly: "Stop transporting troops by fishing boats, and order Su Jiao and Deng Ming to stand firmly on the river bank. We don't seek victory, but only to keep the formation in order."

"Order Captain Wang Pan to immediately transport the baggage from the rear to the commander's army!"

"Please report to the commander on my behalf."

"I, Wang Ben, will follow the commander's order to join the army!"
