Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 554 The first wave of attacks

  Here is a meadow. Because of the coming of autumn, the grass has withered and yellowed, and the dry leaves are swaying in the wind in vain.

  Huang Zhong occupied a small soil bag about five or six meters high, which was also the only relatively high terrain nearby, and set up an army formation on a slightly sloping slope.

  And Sun Jian formed an array on the flat ground to respond.

  The autumn wind was bleak, and the flags of both sides crackled, but it couldn't blow away the strong fighting spirit of both sides.

  Sun Jian looked at the yellow banner on the opposite side, and also saw the middle-aged general under the banner of the yellow general, pondered for a while, um...

do not know.

   But definitely not a good player.

  It is not wrong that the small soil bag is considered to be a relatively good terrain. As a general, how can you only look at one aspect of the problem?

  In order to occupy a small piece of land, they did not hesitate to line up in advance.

   There is nothing wrong with being prepared, but do you know what the courage of the three drums is?

  Come slowly, just able to move the body, but the other party has stood in the autumn wind for nearly an hour, his hands and feet must be stiff!

  Besides, it is already past noon, and the sun will start to tilt soon, and once the sun tilts, that small bag of soil will be directly slanted by the sun!

   One general is incompetent and kills the three armies!

  Sun Jian had a trace of ridicule on the corner of his mouth, raised his saber high, and let out a loud shout, breaking the silence of the confrontation between the two armies!

The war drum that exploded suddenly like thunder, like a gushing magma, soared into the sky from the two opposing armies, and then fell to the ground, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, with endless surging The fighting spirit straddled the ground less than 200 meters between the two armies and collided together.

  Amid the sound of war drums, the armies of both sides rushed out of the first row of soldiers at the same time. The vanguard troops of 200 each stepped on the ground, with their wooden shields on their heads, and began to move forward under the orders of their respective commanders.

  Behind them, the archers also half-bent, and entered the shooting range of each other, and the sharp arrows rushed towards the opponent's position with a shrill sound of piercing the air.

  In mid-air, arrows from both sides crossed each other...

   This is the standard field attack method of the Han army. So far, the patterns, numbers, and team deployment of the two sides are exactly the same, and they are well-organized. The Han army continued the combat mode of the former Qin Dynasty. Generally speaking, archers would be used to test and attack first, especially if both sides were mainly infantry, it would be a more standardized attack mode.

  As for the stupid mode of going forward to challenge the battle, you must stand outside the range of the bow and arrow, otherwise the opponent may not be able to shoot a thousand arrows and die...

The frontline soldiers on both sides shouted at the same time, and the sword and shield hands divided into three rows raised their shields. The front row squatted and leaned on their shoulders, and the second row half bent over and put the shields on the first row. The shields in the third row stood on top of the shields, and the shields were pushed up into the sky. The exposed archers quickly shrank back into the shield wall...

  The arrows were like a rainstorm beating on the lotus leaves, crackling endlessly, and it was like the **** of death was gently tapping the shield walls on both sides with his fingers.

   At this time, the test is the command ability of the two frontline soldiers, the bravery and training speed of the soldiers...

  After the first wave of arrow rain, the shield formations of both sides couldn't help but staggered a little, revealing the sharp arrow tips that had already been bowed, and then the second wave of arrows was almost shot into the sky...

Almost the same.

  But there is still a gap. For example, if you sprint a hundred meters, the difference may be less than one second, but it is like the difference between heaven and earth.

  Soldiers on Sun Jian's side completed the whole set of coordinated actions faster, so Sun Jian's arrow arrived a second earlier, causing several soldiers to be shot because they couldn't dodge in time, and suddenly fell to the ground screaming...

Sun Jian stared at the soldiers in front with piercing eyes. No one would foolishly put all their troops into such an encounter between the two sides. He must pay attention to the surrounding situation. After seeing that the soldiers in front had a slight advantage, Only then showed a satisfied smile.

  Of course, not only the hundreds of people in the front line were probing and attacking, but the mixed formations of light cavalry and infantry on the left and right wings were also attacking and probing each other.

  The hussars led their war horses like scimitars, constantly spinning, cutting, touching and breaking away instantly, leaving only the withered grass dyed red by the victims.

  Han Dang observed for a while, clicked his tongue softly, and said next to Sun Jian: "My lord, their cavalry is pretty good! Our two wings are a bit tight."

  Sun Jian also turned his gaze away, nodded, and said, "These are veterans! Send orders! Let the left and right wings hold you back, and don't take the initiative to attack!"

  The orderly behind Sun Jian quickly started waving the flag representing the cavalry in his hand, and then waited until the soldiers on the left and right wings waved the flag left and right to indicate that they had received the flag order before stopping.

Sun Jian knew that the left and right wings would suffer, but it didn't matter. After all, the left and right wings together only had more than a hundred soldiers, and the focus was on the main infantry formation in the center. How can he compete with his mixed cavalry and infantry troops?

   Moreover, the advantage of Sun Jian's side in the entire central battle formation is constantly expanding over time, and the expansion of this advantage is in an avalanche style...

Archers are actually not very effective against sword and shield soldiers. This kind of attack is not only a blow to the opponent's morale, but also a comparison of the ability of the generals on both sides to dispatch troops. Whoever collapses first will be finished. .

  Sun Jian tilted his head, and said to Han Dang: "The temptation is almost over, it's time for the second wave, Yigong, you bring soldiers, no matter what, make a hole in the middle for me!"

  Han Dang clasped his fists together, turned around and walked to the front of Sun Jian's army without saying a word.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Sure enough, as Sun Jian expected, the second drum sounded from the opposite hill, and groups of soldiers began to move forward in response to the sound of the drums.

   Han Dang in front of the Chinese army turned his head to look at Sun Jian. Seeing Sun Jian nodding his head, he tightened his spear and shouted loudly: "Beat the drums! March!"

Since he was going to lead the infantry to break through the central formation, it was naturally impossible for Han Dang to charge forward on horseback, otherwise he would not be able to increase his speed, and he would become the target of the opponent's archers, so Han Dang dismounted and mixed in the second row Among the pawns, as the entire battle formation advances...

  The archers in front of the formation began to separate to the two sides, giving way to the follow-up troops to attack. The archers on Huang Zhong's side obviously left more corpses on the ground than Sun Jian, and obviously suffered a greater loss.

  The second wave of soldiers from both sides finally rushed to the front, and a scuffle is about to start...

   Ming media is marrying

   Kong Ming looked at Fazheng and laughed twice...

   …

   Good words and good deeds

   Guo Jia stared at Sima Yi, and laughed twice...
