Chapter 30 Battles

When the enemy's chariots rushed over, the infantry soldiers of Chaoge's Third Division were not afraid. This kind of scene can be seen every day during daily practice, but even in actual combat, it has been experienced many times. The soldiers in the first row raised their arms in front of the chariot, and they identified the position of the chariot for the soldiers in the back row to see it.

"Flash! Try to dodge it! Big flash" As the general guards shouted, the infantry soldiers flashed mechanically to both sides, but the soldiers behind did not understand why the commander said so much nonsense today. In the past, it was enough to just say a flash.

This step is done almost every day during practice. Even the steps to move to both sides are clearly defined, and it is determined according to the chariot with the largest rail-wide width in the world. This is done for the next step to quickly unfold. The next step is to quickly surround and kill when the opponent's chariot is slightly slower.

But today, the dodging distance was insufficient because there was a reamer extending more than two feet outward on the opponent's wheel hub. So in the harsh bones shattered, each chariot rushing into the formation cut off dozens of broken legs.

Blood dyed the wheels red, and the chariots passed by were wounded soldiers who were groaning in pain, which temporarily caused chaos in the formation. Some arrogant enemy chariot drivers even tried to change their direction to cut off more people's legs. The chariot and the archers on the chariot also tried their best to kill the Shang army in their own ways to create greater chaos.

However, cutting off many legs of people also slowed down the car. The well-trained Shang army soldiers ended their temporary panic, first killing the horse, then killing the driver and the shooter, and finally dragging the Ge hand off the carriage and chopping it into meat sauce.

Although the enemy's reamer chariot was solved, it took a lot of time, and the generals and guards who led the team were forced to spend time reorganizing the already chaotic formation. At this time, the Su military formation on the left and right wings had already "repaired" the three or four gaps under the command of the Su brothers and sisters, restored the formation, and stepped on the drum beats and advanced neatly and steadily. When the distance was less than 30 meters, the drum sounds became dense, and the military formation accelerated.

...

At this time, the infantry of the Shang army's central division was not harassed by enemy chariots. They had already marched to forty meters in front of the Xia army's central army formation, exceeding the distance of more than forty meters on the left and right wings of the main formation, forming a protrusion.

Emperor Xin's face became cold. He vaguely felt that the current situation was not good for him, but he couldn't explain it clearly. The aristocratic education that Emperor Xin received since childhood allowed him to be both literary and martial, but this martial arts only refers to personal bravery.

Once the chariot lost enough speed, its psychological pressure on people dissipated. The Xia militia bravely raised their long halberds and stabbed them at the dozen chariots that were dragging dead horses forward. In an instant, almost all the horses were killed by the spear tips of the spears of the spears. This time, due to speed, the soldiers on the chariot did not fly into the air, but still turned forward due to inertia. Under the car, everyone had more than a dozen spear blades or spear blades with long halberds to greet them...

The only intact chariot rushed into the formation of the central army. The militia were like hornets stabbed in a honeycomb. They first exploded and then launched a counterattack. After all, just one chariot, the huge number of advantages can also make the militia's fear of the chariot disappear without a trace. However, before the militia had time to take revenge, they were stopped by the commander and asked them to restore their formation and ignore the chariot.

The war horses and three soldiers of this chariot have been killed by the Tiger Banish Guard, which is located at the last.

"The front of the central army, attack the formation" Hua shouted loudly. The first row of long halberd militias that had reorganized the formation flatly picked up the long halberds in their hands and stabbed them, but the second row of long halberd militias raised the long halberds high and made a chopping shape.

"Three columns, four columns exchange columns" shooters took a big step back together, and the Five Hundred Dunge militia further replaced the third column.

"The shooter prepares the arrow, the central army moves forward." The third row of archers pulled out arrows and put them on the bowstrings, but did not shoot. The sound of drums in the car sounded, and the Xia army stepped on the drum beats and walked slowly in parallel.

When the central troops of the two armies were only twenty meters apart, the Shang army formations stood up together at the orders of the generals and guards.

When the distance was less than ten meters, Hua shouted again.

The two armies finally began to fight in close combat. The halberd soldiers stood up and slashed their lunges. The long halberds were like forests and they all rushed towards the Shang army. They were blocked by the big knots like walls. When the opponent's long halberds were finished, they would use the big knot to spread the long halberds, bully them to move forward, and slaughter their opponents. However, the halberds of the second row of halberds had already pierced out of the first row of halberds and slashed down from the sky. Most of the sword blades hooked the edge of the shield.

The Gange soldiers had to swing the dry shield to get rid of the long halberds that were on the edge of the shield. While they swung the shield, the halberds also recycled the long halberds.

"The shooter approaches the close shot!" Hua roared. About 600 shooters took a step forward, inserted a half-meter gap between the shield militia in the front row, released arrows in their hands on the head or shoulders of the halberd soldiers, and then took a step back to their original position. Nearly 600 strong arrows were shot at the Gange soldiers at close range. Under normal circumstances, these arrows would not have much effect on these Gange soldiers equipped with large shields and heavy armor.

But now because they swung their shields and some long halberd blades to hook the shields, the empty door was wide open, and at such a close distance of three or four meters, even if they were wearing exquisite armor, it was difficult to avoid the fate of being shot, and many people were shot in the face.

Some lucky people who were not caught in the arrow were exposed alone in front of the enemy's formation due to the fall of the left and right soldiers, and were quickly pushed down by a new round of halberd piercings.

When the long halberd was leveled and repositioned or hung in the air, the shooters bent their bows and arrows again. The following soldiers from the Ganges five meters away rushed up quickly. "Try to rush up and approach the enemy, don't control the formation" shouted loudly.

This time, they learned from their bloody lessons from their front row comrades, without any hesitation, no longer emphasized the tight formation, seamless shield walls, and fighting with each other. Instead, they rushed forward and approached the enemy at all costs. This was the only way to defeat the enemy.

For example, the spear tip of Lin Changji squeezed and deformed the armored armor piece, piercing the bodies of the armored soldiers from the gaps of the armored swords. The wielding long spear tip also slashed into the shoulder blades of the armored soldiers or knocked down the armored soldiers' helmets. However, more than 20 dry shield soldiers attacked and quickly slashed the short spear in their hands into the bodies of the halberd soldiers.

After a Gange soldier broke through the halberd forest, he killed three halberd soldiers directly opposite him. Six shield militias near the back row quickly stepped forward and waved short spears to slash at the Gange soldier. Two fists were hard to defeat four hands, not to mention a Gange soldier who had formed a formation. In the blink of an eye, the armor of the soldier was hooked and a big spear slashed into his face.

Neither attack method worked. The Shangfang Gange soldiers responsible for the attack of the central army were ineffective, but their morale was not lost. Each soldier bravely continued to attack the Xia army's front according to his own ideas. After one or two killings, the Xia army militia were full of confidence and murderous aura.
