Following the order of the messenger, the three thousand warriors where Ye Qingxuan was located were placed at the rear of the team.
Directly in front are the disciples of the "Nanlong Mountain Villa" of the five thousand-man team, two in the front and three in the back, neatly formed in a square formation, and the disciples of the mountain villa in the first two square formations are all holding large shields and spears, wearing The waist knives are neatly arranged, the military discipline is strict, and they have become a regular army.
The monks from the Great Zen Temple were placed on the right wing and treated as surprise soldiers.
Mr. Wei was a soldier in his early years, and he also became a pawn commander and led a team of hundreds, so he is quite familiar with the front-line command of the army at the bottom of the army. This also makes the disciples of the villa no different from the army in terms of basic quality. , even more prominent in martial arts.
The south is rainy, the land is fertile and wet, which is not conducive to raising horses, and there are too many dense forests, which is not conducive to cavalry attacks. Therefore, neither the Tan tribe, the barbarian tribe, nor the "Nanlong Villa" had any regular cavalry, only a few black-scaled horses were used as sentry horses or to deliver messages.
In this battle, both sides are dominated by infantry. The main archers of the Tan tribe were all transferred to the inner valley to attack "Yunlan Fort". There were only a thousand archers left here, while the Chinese allied forces had a team of one thousand equipped with strong bows.
It has to be said that Wei Xiaotian spent a lot of money on the equipment of his disciples. These thousand strong bows are basically around three stones, and ordinary people can't pull them at all. Fortunately, these warriors have undergone special training and have true energy. In the body, this kind of custom-made bow, which was only used by people with strong physical strength in the previous life, has become a common equipment here.
With the sound of drums, the Chinese coalition forces began to attack.
Two thousand-man teams with large shields and spears lined up neatly with the beat of the drums, and slowly pressed towards the enemy formation.
The archers in the enemy's front row reacted immediately. They stepped forward twenty or so steps in unison, closing the distance to the Chinese spear formation, and preparing to shoot arrows.
But the first to be baptized by the rain of arrows was the team of archers from the Tan tribe.
The Chinese strong archers followed closely behind the two long spearmen, even though there was a spear team in the middle, relying on the three-stone strong bow in their hands, they took the lead in covering the Tan tribe's archers into range. When the opponent had just stood up in the formation of skirmishers and was about to play bow and archery, the first wave of arrow rain from the Chinese warriors had already landed on the top of their heads.
blah blah blah...
The sound produced by the dense rain of arrows was really like rain. Before they could shout, two or three hundred people were nailed to the ground. The screams then tore through the sky and reached everyone's ears.
"good-"
Only some of the three thousand chaotic warriors could shout this kind of voice.
These three thousand warriors from all over the Chinese ethnicity, who have never experienced this kind of regular war, applauded loudly like watching a juggling troupe.
This is due to the strong control of the messengers in the villa, otherwise the emotional guy would have rushed out.
The casualties of the two or three hundred Tan archers did not cause any waves in the eyes of the coaches of both sides.
When the strong Chinese archers shot out the second wave of arrows, it happened to be the moment when the first wave of arrows from their side landed.
The Tan archers, who were attacked by the strong Chinese archers and the opponent's archers were out of range and unable to counterattack effectively, retreated decisively; when the third wave of arrow rain from the strong Chinese archers shot again At that time, the second wave of arrow rain fell on the crowd of Tan archers who had already retreated. This time only dozens of corpses were left, and most of the bows and arrows fell on the open space. As for the last third shot The rain of waves and arrows is already doomed to fail.
The commander of the opponent's archer team reacted quickly.
In the first contact, the Chinese strong archer relied on the advantages of equipment to grab an opportunity.
A horn blew.
The three spearmen of the Tan tribe began to move forward, seizing the maneuvering space on the battlefield, and after advancing fifty steps, they set up their formations and stood firm.
At this time, the retreating Tan archers just withdrew from the centurions of spearmen who had not yet formed, and formed formation again 20 steps behind them.
When the spear formations of the Tan tribe were closely arranged, the two Chinese spearmen phalanxes were still a hundred steps away, and the strong Chinese archers behind them had covered the Tan tribe's spearmen phalanx. Into the range of his own, with an order, hum—
Thousands of bows and arrows formed a somewhat thin dark cloud, falling towards the spear phalanx in front of the enemy.
The centurions of the Tan tribe yelled loudly, shields raised one by one above their heads, the rain of arrows fell, and the dense sound like rain hitting plantains erupted, and the unlucky people in the spear phalanx of the Tan tribe were shot by bows and arrows from time to time , screaming and falling down, but this number is extremely small, and it will not have any impact on the entire phalanx at all.
But the strong Chinese archers continued to shoot arrows. This was not a waste of arrows, but just to suppress the opponent's phalanx, immobilize it, and at the same time damage the morale of the opponent.
The Chinese spearmen had already entered a hundred paces away, and began to be attacked by the Tan archers.
The strong Chinese archers divided into three centurions, stepped forward fifty steps, and began to attack the Tan archers. At this time, the Tan archers could not retreat, and they fought hard to suppress the Chinese spearmen. At the very least, suppress the marching speed of these two phalanxes so that they cannot accelerate within a short distance to attack the solid defense line of the Tan clan.
The sacrifice of the Tan archers did not have the expected effect. The Chinese spearmen held their shields and entered within fifty paces. Neat acceleration...
After entering a distance of twenty steps, the rain of arrows from both sides began to extend to the rear of both sides, and the main battlefield was handed over to the spearmen of both sides.
The two sides have officially entered the moment of hand-to-hand combat.
The spearmen of the Tan clan spread out slightly from the dense defensive formation squatting on the ground, and began to roar one by one, emphasizing their courage and sensuality.
The Chinese spearmen also discarded their large shields, and instead held spears with both hands, they accelerated violently at a distance of twenty steps...
The tense atmosphere at this moment made everyone's breathing stagnate.
The spear phalanx of the Chinese warriors slammed into the defensive position of the Tan tribe with a bang like a stormy wave hitting the shore.
The personal strength of the Chinese warriors is stronger, and the spears they hold are longer and heavier than the opponent's. A four-meter spear is more advantageous than the opponent's three-meter infantry spear. It is one inch longer and one inch stronger, not to mention better than the opponent's It's a full meter long.
That violent impact made the hearts of everyone watching here tremble.
The defensive front of the Tan tribe is like a fortress made of sand. The big wave formed by the Chinese warriors wiped out an entire layer. However, the formation of the Tan tribe did not break because of this. The number of people, but firmly withstood the attack of the Chinese.
woo—
The horns of the Tan tribe sounded again, and the fighters on both wings began to approach the phalanx of spears sticking together in the middle, trying to encircle them from the side and wipe out the spearmen of the Hua tribe.
The Chinese army with a commander in charge cannot easily fight, so the five hundred monks from the Dachan Temple started to act.
Although there are only 500 people, once the formation is unfolded, it will have an area of 1,000 people.
The 500 monks were deployed on the right flank of the Chinese front, but instead of attacking the fighting soldiers on the enemy's left flank, they bypassed the phalanx of spears fighting together at a very fast speed. He rushed directly to the central army of the Tan tribe, and went straight to the position of Shuaiqi.
The Tan tribe was taken aback by the sudden attack, but they reacted quickly and held their ground. The fighters protruding from the wings rushed to the middle, like arms embraced by a bear, unfolding the move of double wind penetrating ears, and stormed The monk of the Great Zen Temple on the chest.
From a military point of view, the attack method of the monks in the Great Zen Temple is to seek death. Once the enemy's frontal defense line cannot be broken, or even if the frontal defense line is broken, as long as the commander is not killed before the enemy encircles him, this adventure will be a complete failure. , will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated.
But the purpose of the Great Zen Temple seems to be directed at the commander, but in fact it is not. When the five hundred monks rushed to the position where the Tan tribe's archers were, they shrank suddenly, and the five hundred people became a black crowd. A group of people, they stay in place.
At this time, the five hundred monks were located between the central army of the Tan tribe and the former army that was fighting, blocking the connection between the central army and the former army.
The central army of the Tan clan did not move, and the original archers had long been disabled. The sparse bows and arrows had no effect on these martial arts monks, and they were easily knocked away by the copper sticks.
How can you not eat the meat that is on your lips
With a burst of urgent trumpets, a thousand-man team of the Chinese army pressed forward, and two thousand-man teams of combat soldiers on both sides rolled inward. In the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the Tan tribe, the more than five hundred monks in front of him It is already certain death.
Rock paper scissors, of course paper can beat rock!
The soldiers of the Tan tribe rushed from all directions, like a huge piece of cotton cloth, wrapped the monk group shrunk into a stone...
The sound of shouting and killing erupted.
What happens when the cloth wraps the stone
The answer, of course, is that the stone is still a stone. Cloth can wrap a stone, but it cannot crush it. However, the stone, after a brief contact, exploded violently, and the five hundred monks gathered together moved in eight directions, as if turning into eight pairs of scissors, and mercilessly melted away the cloth wrapping themselves, From a stone, it turned into an eight-bladed giant wheel that was three times larger in size, and almost completely pierced through the three thousand-man teams that surrounded him.
The giant wheel with eight sharp blades began to rotate clockwise under the horrified gaze of everyone, and the person with outstanding observation ability discovered only at this time that the so-called giant wheel with eight blades was actually two superimposed on each other. Together with the word "卍", this is the world-famous [Five Hundred Arhats Array], and the sudden rotation completely involved the 3,000 Tan soldiers who invaded into the array.
Five hundred heavy copper sticks were waving like the wind, and the sound of the wind in the entire formation and the dull sound of the copper sticks hitting the human body formed a rumbling roar on the battlefield.
All of a sudden, the formation was filled with dust, and three thousand Tan soldiers turned their backs on their backs, their bones and tendons were broken, and they wailed miserably. All the Tan soldiers were knocked down. The big formation just turned around, and a full third of the three thousand Tan soldiers fell down. On the yellow and white sand in the formation, there was a layer of black and blue robes lying on the ground. The body of a Tan soldier in chainmail...
