Song Dynasty

Chapter 226 Infantry Attack

"Crack!"

"boom!"

Fang Worong saw that the lance in his hand broke instantly, and there were sawdust flying in front of his eyes.

Even if the spear was broken, the enemy's formation was too tight, and there were densely packed infantry behind the sword and shield hand.Therefore, the force of this counter-shock also appears to be exceptionally large.

The violent counter-shock force hit, and in an instant, the entire arm was numb, feeling like a broken bone.

However, the enemy is also not easy.The shield was actually split open by the hammer on the top of the lance.The sign player behind screamed, vomited blood and fell backwards, knocking the companions behind into chaos.

Throwing away the broken gun in his hand, Fang Worong clamped his legs together, and the horse passed by the enemy line like a breeze, and ran to the right, leaving the front of the enemy line to the brothers behind.

More bangs sounded in succession, and the lances in the hands of more than 500 riders stabbed continuously, falling on the shields and bodies of the bandits.

The speed of the war horse has been maximized, and the huge potential energy is unstoppable.

In a blink of an eye, the whole world is full of stabbed figures flying, broken gun barrels flying everywhere, and blood sprayed into the air everywhere.

The first burst of Zhang Yong's Changhong Formation was instantly messed up by Ta Bai.

The tall and thin enemy general that Fang Worong saw earlier was Li Hong who had just joined Zhang Yong's army. .

He was grateful to Leader Zhang, and wanted to avenge Wang Shen for stealing the camp, so he became the former commander of the army.As soon as the battle started, the soldiers stood at the forefront.

In Li Hong's view, the enemy's cavalry would naturally be shot into a mess under his continuous arrow rain.Even if they rushed forward with arrows and stones, there were soldiers waiting in full force and densely packed spears to meet the enemy.

As long as the troops are not chaotic and can withstand this round of impact, the cavalry who have lost their speed can only be beaten passively.

In the past, the Western Army used this method of warfare against Dangxiang, Khitan, and Jurchen, and the effect was not bad.

However, he never expected that the enemy would still charge forward under the continuous rain of arrows.What's more unexpected is that their riding skills are so high.Just when the two sides were about to collide, Ping Ping flew past the formation.Just like a dexterous elf dancing, the heavy cavalry actually resorted to the tactics of light cavalry.

"It's too fast, it's too fast. How is this possible? How could Wang Shen's cavalry have such superb riding skills?" sense of powerlessness.

This was not over yet, when the enemy's cavalry suddenly formed a horizontal line and passed arrogantly in front of the formation, he saw all the cavalry throwing away the broken spears in their hands at the same time, drawing out the already wound bows, and putting on the feathers The arrow came fiercely.

Hundreds of feathered arrows swept out to the wide front, pierced through the armor of the soldiers, and sank deep into the body.

Countless blood spots were flying in the air, and there were cries of pain everywhere.Someone fell straight down, and someone rolled around on the ground clutching their chest where the arrow had been shot.

In a blink of an eye, more than 500 Sizhou Army rode white horses and ran away.It's quick to say, but for Li Hong, the enemy's impact is so long.

Looking closely, all the card players in front of the formation have been wiped out by the enemy.The spearman pushed and pushed in confusion, squeezing the crossbowman who had retreated earlier to the side.

Officers everywhere shouted angrily: "Line up, line up, the main force of the Sizhou Army is coming, hurry up!"

Their cries were covered by the rumbling horseshoes again in a moment, and Li Hong stared at the past with wide-eyed eyes, only to see another group of cavalry rushing over.

Different from the long and strange long spears in their hands before, this group of enemies are armed with heavy weapons, such as big axes, big sticks, flails, maces... the armor on their bodies is thicker, and it is also painted with a layer of terrible black. paint.

These enemies are tall and strong, with fierce eyes shining like bulls with red eyes.

"The Beiwei Army is here! Is this still the Song Army?" In a daze, Li Hong returned to the original Tokyo Left Behind Division, and returned to the cruel Lianghe battlefield where he fought the Jurchens to the death.

As if being poured over his head with a basin of ice water, a thought suddenly occurred to him: the first formation of the Changhong formation is over!
The Sizhou army back Wei Shi came not fast, but extremely arrogant.

They stopped their horses suddenly at a distance of fifty steps from the first formation, and all the soldiers got off their horses at the same time. They had no intention of lining up at all.

"噗嗤" weird sounds kept ringing out, it was the sound of heavy weapons hitting people, breaking the spine and smashing the internal organs.

Li Hong saw that a soldier of the Beiwei army was holding a long ax and slashing at a spearman under him.

The spearman subconsciously raised his spear to block, but it was useless, the spear was swung away with great force.The long ax cut directly at his head, with red and white liquid deeply embedded in his body.

Because the force was too great, for a while, the long ax couldn't hold back.A spear stabbed forward, and hit the lower abdomen of the back Wei soldier, cutting open the plastron, and hot blood came out.But the enemy didn't snort, and instead of retreating, he advanced.On one side of the body, he took a step forward, and at some point a gourd was added in his hand, which hit the spearman hard on the chest.

The gourd is not big, just the size of a fist, and the spearman is still wearing thick iron armor.

But after being hit by this hammer, his chest suddenly collapsed, obviously all the sternum had been crushed by the enemy.

He was stunned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down limply.

This is a pure northern barbarian's style of play, and it is as fierce as Jurchen.

When did the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty become so powerful?

The same way of fighting appeared everywhere on the battlefield, bones were smashed, tendons were broken and bones were broken; where the big ax was swung, human heads and broken branches and arms were rolling all over the sky; when the big stick was swept away, Zhang Yongjun's soldiers were beaten like scarecrows fall aside...

It can be said that the soldiers of Wang Shen's Beiwei army are all powerful, and their force is comparable to that of the officers above the head of the rebel army.

"How did Wang Daosi train such a group of monsters!"

But he didn't know that the soldiers who could enter the Beiwei Army were all tall and strong people, first of all, the foundation of their bodies was there.As for strength, it can be practiced.Just give enough nutrition and use scientific training methods.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army could only carry a load of more than 100 kilograms. Gradually, as the weight gradually increased, in the end, they carried more than 200 kilograms, and they were still walking like the wind.

Of course, training such wrestlers takes a lot of resources.Fortunately, Wang Shen implemented a policy of elite soldiers, so he could afford such huge expenses for the time being.

Li Hong looked around, only to see that more than 4000 people in the first formation of the Changhong Formation were defeated by hundreds of warriors, and they all screamed loudly and receded like a tide.

He was attacked at night by Wang Shen that day, and his entire family was wiped out.In addition to being angry at Wang Shen's despicableness, I also felt unwilling: If it wasn't for the rainstorm, everyone would have fought face to face, and I, Li Hong, might not have lost the battle.

But seeing the ferocity of the Sizhou army today, he finally understood that even if God gave him a chance to do it again, he would still be beaten all over the floor by the surnamed Wang.

He and his soldiers are a group of cannibalistic monsters!
While he was stunned, several guards came crying and shouting, surrounded him and retreated.

Li Hong: "Let go of me, let me go! Everyone is not allowed to retreat, go up, go up!"

The guard cried: "General, retreat quickly, it will be too late! The leader's order has come down, and General Li retreated to the second formation."

When Li Hong turned his head, he saw that the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army behind him was waving the banner non-stop, ordering the rout in the first formation to retreat as soon as possible.

He woke up instantly, looked bitterly at the enemy heavy armored infantry who were rolling over like a rolling stone, turned around and left.

The rout of the first group was no longer able to hold back, and they receded hysterically like a tide.

Fortunately, there was a distance between the second formation and the first formation. The soldiers of the second formation had already opened up their shields and pushed their spears out of the swords and shields, forming a dense line of defense.No matter the enemy dared to approach, he would stab them with a spear without mercy.

This formation has been practiced for a long time. After a brief panic, the rout soldiers retreated from the first formation and retreated to both sides of the second formation at the same time, which did not cause too much confusion.

The two shields separated, and Li Hong retreated into the formation.

"The lord's art of war is really good... so fast!" Before Li Hong could recover, Yue Yun's Beiwei army had already arrived.Yue Yingxiang, who took the lead, had already replaced a big stick in his hand and smashed it on a square shield with a "swoosh", making a loud "puff".

The sword and shield hand holding the shield yelled, and the arms holding the shield hang down limply.

In an instant, he punched a gap in the thick second formation with brute force. Before Zhang Yongjun could stab his spear out, several soldiers from the Beiwei Army had squeezed in. The hammers in their hands created a whirlwind, continuing to expand the area. Gaps, even if they are instantly stabbed into hedgehogs by a bunch of spears.

More Beiwei soldiers entered into it, immediately disrupting the second formation of Changhong Formation.

Soldiers were screaming in panic everywhere. They were obviously frightened by the boundless flesh and blood and the ferocious enemies like hungry tigers, and their faces lost all color.

Li Hong only felt a chill in his heart: The second battle will soon be destroyed!

Yes, Zhang's use of this Changhong formation is not unskillful, and the cooperation between soldiers is not unskilled, but so what?The Sizhou army didn't have any tactics at all, just relying on the strength of its soldiers and their fearlessness of death, they rushed over desperately and easily broke the thick army formation.

If this goes on, he might lose.

Li Hong originally intended to take the lead with his weapons, but at this moment his heart was confused and he hesitated.

Yes, will lose.Just a few hundred soldiers can break through two battles in a row.Don't forget, Wang Shen's stepping will soon be charged again.

Moreover, his main force is also coming.

Looking around, amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, Tabai of the Sizhou Army made a circle and rushed back to the banner of the Chinese Army after shooting an arrow.

Meanwhile, the infantry of Wang Shen's other armies were approaching from the front, left and right flanks, moving layer upon layer like a wall. Only at this moment did Li Hong feel the overwhelming pressure.

The battle unfolded in every corner of the battlefield, arrows raining like locusts flew in the air, and there were shouts of killing and screams everywhere.The second battle was broken, and the front team of the left school and the front team of the right school were also mixed with the Sizhou army in an instant.

……

Standing in the formation, Li Hong's mind went blank, he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a messenger rushed over: "General Li, General Li, the lord has an order, ordering you to go to the right wing immediately, and take over the command of the right wing rushing cavalry, and the other side is about to be overwhelmed."

Hearing this order, Li Hong turned his head to look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he became sober, and shouted: "Follow me, go to the right wing, you must hold on."

The right wing of the Changhong formation is quite high, and it is very eye-catching in this large plain.

I saw that the infantry of the Sizhou Army was already crowded there, and they were pushing upwards like a tide, washing the right school to pieces.

The front formation of the right school has completely collapsed, and the panicked soldiers fled backwards in a mess, knocking the rear formation tottering.

How did Li Hong not know that the most important thing in the formation battle is to protect the two wings, otherwise, once the enemy breaks the two wings, Wang Shen can easily detour to the rear of the formation.

By that time, it's all over.
