Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 559
"Boom boom boom...", "Kill!"

With the beating of the war drums on the Wanxian city wall and the swaying of the flag, the more than ten thousand Liu Xun soldiers in the Wanxian city wall army camp suddenly clamored.

Soon the gate of the military stronghold outside the city was opened, and under the urging of Liu Xun's general and the leading military commander, more than [-] soldiers rushed to the front of the military stronghold like several poisonous snakes, outflanking the [-] soldiers led by Pang Yan. .

Pang Yan saw that Liu Xun's army came out of the army camp, but he didn't panic. He just directed the swords and shields behind him to form a circular defensive formation, protecting the crossbowmen inside, but slowly retreated. retreat.

On the surface, it seems that Pang Yan was afraid of the tens of thousands of Liu Xun soldiers killed in the army village, and did not dare to stay here to fight recklessly. In fact, Pang Yan wanted to lure these Liu Xun soldiers to a wider battlefield, so that these Liu Xun's soldiers were farther away from the army stronghold.

Only in this way can these Liu Xun soldiers fall into the battlefield chosen by Zhu Wei's army, so that Zhu Wei's follow-up military tactics can achieve the best results.

"Come on, kill!"

More than ten thousand Liu Xun soldiers rushed out from the military stronghold outside the city of Wanxian County. Under the guidance of several generals of Liu Xun's generals, they rushed out from the gate of the military stronghold like a snake, and then rushed in different directions, intending to kill them. The three thousand soldiers brought by Pang Yan besieged and devoured these soldiers in front of the army stronghold.

But on Pang Yan's side, with Pang Yan as the core, he constructed a circular army formation, and retreated steadily under the command of Pang Yan. Although he was soon besieged by more than ten thousand soldiers of Liu Xun, Pang Yan The pawns on Yan's side still didn't panic.

Pang Yan commanded calmly at the core of the army formation. While letting the peripheral sword and shield hands block the collision of Liu Xun's soldiers, he directed the crossbowmen to shoot a flurry of crossbow arrows towards the back of his army formation.

With the help of crossbow arrows to kill and shoot back the gap created by Liu Xun's soldiers, Pang Yan continued to lead his troops to attract more than ten thousand Liu Xun soldiers to retreat in the direction of his own army.

For a while, the situation on the battlefield was like countless ants spewing out from their old nest, wrapping around a piece of brown sugar and moving forward slowly. There were more and more ants surrounding the brown sugar, so the movement of the brown sugar was also the same. Slower and slower.

Pang Yan brought [-] soldiers to the front of the formation to challenge. It was only about a stone's throw away from the army camp outside the city of Nawan County, but it was about two miles away from Zhu Wei's main army.

In this way, surrounded by more than ten thousand Liu Xun soldiers, it is really not easy to withdraw Zhu Wei's main army. The [-] soldiers here were wrapped up and gradually couldn't move.

Moreover, the circular army formation composed of three thousand soldiers on Pang Yan's side is a bit inconspicuous compared with the more than ten thousand Liu Xun soldiers who are gradually increasing outside.

But even so, Pang Yan and his [-] soldiers still led more than [-] Liu Xun soldiers from the front of the military camp to about one mile away from the military camp, and entered the battlefield area originally chosen by Zhu Wei's army.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At the command center of the army formation where Zhu Wei's army was located, the drums of attack were also beating, so on the side of Zhu Wei's main army, which was like a square, armies one by one moved forward one after another.

Facing the direction of the battlefield, two formation-breaking vehicles with a width of more than 20 steps and a height of about four people were launched from Zhu Weijun's formation.

About one person below the dashing car is a shield wall wrapped in pieces of crocodile skin, but there are holes in the wall, and Zhangba spears with sharp cold blades are pierced out one by one, making people People dare not stand in front of the rushing car.

Through these holes, you can also see that there are more than 200 soldiers pushing the car forward. At the same time, each spear gun is also held by three or four soldiers. The targets are all strung into candied haws.

On the second floor of the dashing chariot, there are more than 60 crossbowmen standing. With the help of ladder frames of different heights under their feet, they are divided into three rounds and then pass through the gaps in the wooden pillars in front to protect them. Keep shooting crossbow arrows.

This is a formation-breaking vehicle specially built by Zhu Weijun to break through the enemy's formation. In fact, the structure is very simple, and it can be used to attack the enemy's tight formation, but it is very effective.

Of course, this kind of formation-breaking car requires the cooperation and protection of the surrounding troops, otherwise, once the enemy bypasses the front of the car, then this kind of car will be useless.

So its significance is to help one's own army to tear apart the defensive formation formed by the enemy's soldiers, so that the attacking soldiers following on both sides of the smashing chariot can take the opportunity to enter the enemy's formation.

Of course, in addition to these two large-scale formation-breaking vehicles that can break through the enemy's formation head-on, there are also dozens of formation-breaking tiger vehicles composed of unicycles at the front of several military formations of Zhu Wei's army.

This kind of front is a wall of blades, and at the same time, there are holes for soldiers to stab with Zhangba spears. In the front, it becomes a special surprise soldier that assaults the enemy's defensive formation.

The power of this kind of tiger chariot to break through the enemy's frontal defensive formation may not be as powerful as that of the large formation-breaking chariot, but it can help Zhu Wei's army break through the defense formed by a small number of enemy troops after entering the enemy's interior. The army formation can help Zhu Wei's army tear apart the enemy's formation like a sharp edge.

These two types of battlefield equipment were developed by Zhu Wei to break through the enemy's formation in the field.

On the other hand, around the dashing chariot and the tiger chariot, there are sword and shield soldiers holding ring-shouldered knives and double-arc hand shields. They quickly followed the dashing chariot and the tiger chariot to charge forward, but still maintained a Relatively neat formation.

It looks like the infantry tactic of later generations charging with tanks and vehicles, but in today's late Han and Three Kingdoms period, it is definitely a rare new tactic.

Behind these sword and shield fighters are archers and crossbowmen. They steadily followed the assault infantry in front. When they entered the battlefield and reached the range of the archers, the archers would stop for the first time, and then bend down String, threw a round of feather arrows forward, and took the lead in attacking the enemy's formation.

The crossbowmen continued to move forward from the passage made by the archers. After entering the effective range of the crossbow arrows, they would throw the crossbow arrows forward round after round, and then charged alternately.

It can be said that with the attack of Zhu Wei's army, the battle situation suddenly entered the situation of a decisive battle.

Zhu Wei only left [-] personal guards and [-] auxiliary soldiers from the Baiyu Battalion by his side, and the other [-] knife shield players and [-] crossbowmen had already rushed to the battlefield.

Behind Zhu Wei, the battle drums carried by several carriages, under the beating of several drummers with big arms and round waists, made a deafening drum sound, directing the troops in front to move forward, forward, and continue to move forward.

Beside Zhu Wei, there are only Jia Xu and Sun Shangxiang guarding him. Even Zhou Yu and Huang Gai have already put on their armor and went directly to the front of the battle to command the army to charge. When necessary, they are the sharp blades to break the enemy's charge...
