Chapter 39 The Power of the Battle Array
"Get ready~!" Orders rang out from the three columns in front, basically in no particular order!
"Arbalest ready~! Shoot~!"
This time there was a large group of strong crossbowmen, and one hundred strong crossbow arrows attacked together, which was far more spectacular than a squadron of thirty-six crossbow arrows.
But compared to the crowd on the opposite side, these 100 crossbow arrows are too inconspicuous!
He fell into the crowd and disappeared without even taking a chance, as if this attack had no effect at all!
If they hadn't seen some natives standing in the front row throwing themselves to the ground, the soldiers guarding the camp would have thought that the attack just now was a phantom!
"Strong crossbow~! Shoot~!" "Bow and arrow~! Projectile~!"
Another round of attacks fell on the crowd closer to the opposite side!
The effect of this round of attack is much better than the previous one, because the archer joined the attack sequence, so there are one hundred more arrows to hit!
Visible to the naked eye, there are many gaps in the dense attacking crowd on the opposite side!
The rate of fire of the archers is about twice that of the crossbowmen. When the archer squadron fires its third salvo, the crossbow squadron is ready for its second salvo!
The dense crowd on the opposite side is getting closer and closer, when they step into the attack range of one hundred meters!
"Continuous crossbow~! Free fire~!"
The attack order of the Lian Nu has been issued! The Lian Nu is like a submachine gun without a volley command, unable to command the volley in a unified manner!
Although it is free shooting, there is still an attack rhythm!
"Buzz~!"
A round of crossbow firing continued, and the crossbow arrows made a trembling sound that shook the air while flying in the air!
Wave after wave, endless! The corpses on the opposite side were lined up in rows, piled on the ground, in all kinds of postures!
At this time, the crossbowmen and archers completely became supporting roles. Compared with the crossbow arrows of the repeating crossbow, the bustling arrows seemed so weak!
Sixty or seventy meters away from the guard camp's military formation, there seemed to be an invisible copper wall. No natives could cross that line!
In less than ten waves of attacks, the attack line, which was only more than sixty meters away from the first row of soldiers, was already covered with corpses, piled up into a long mountain of corpses, only one or two meters high!
It's a pity that there are still a few soldiers guarding the camp. The front line composed of three columns is less than 200 meters horizontally!
Zhang Wei watched the enemies come over from both sides and ordered!
"The light cavalry formation is ready to attack~!"
It turned out that just now, Yu Shu reminded him that the light cavalry formation had been formed and was waiting for his order to attack!
In fact, there was no need for Yu Shu to remind him, Zhang Wei also discovered it and asked his deputy to remind him, it was just an insurance policy!
"Order! The light cavalry charges the enemy's formation and protects the two wings of our formation!"
"Yes!" the ordering soldier replied with a clear and capable voice.
The ordering soldier turned around, faced the light cavalry formation to the east, and waved the order flag in his hand!
"Look! The battalion commander's order to attack has come down! Let us attack the enemy's formation and protect the two wings of our army!"
The commander of the light cavalry formation has long been staring at the command flag here, and he also saw the order issued by the command flag through the telescope!
"Light cavalry formation~!"
The formation commander shouted loudly! All the officers and soldiers in the formation concentrated their attention!
"Order! The entire formation is divided into two teams from behind the enemy's rear and attacks the enemy on both wings of our army!"
The formation commander has finished the combat mission! He pulled out his sword, swung it forward and ordered.
"Blow the trumpet and attack!"
"Woooo~!"
"Drive~!"
"Drive~!"......
Accompanied by the sound of the horn, the shouts of the royal horses, and the neighing of the war horses, the entire battle formation sprinted forward!
As for how to divide into two teams and who should be in charge, we have already made a plan. At this time, it is the best time to show the results of our usual training!
A battle formation or military formation has a chief and deputy commander. When divided into two teams, the chief and deputy commander will each command one team!
The light cavalry formation first moved to the enemy's back, that is, to the south of the battlefield, and then began to charge towards the enemy in the north!
When charging, they were divided into one team on the left and one on the left, each forming a long team, like two bloodthirsty pythons, launching an attack towards the edge of the battlefield!
The charge of the light cavalry is very orderly. What they usually train the most is how to initiate a charge and how to maneuver!
"Draw the sword~!"
The chief and deputy commanders on the left and right basically issued the same order at the same time!
At this time, the enemy had no time to pay attention to the enemy that suddenly appeared behind him. Driven by the tribal leader, he desperately charged at the soldiers in front!
"Da da da~!"
A dense sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind, and a native at the back of the battlefield turned his head in confusion.
But he only saw a flash of knife light, and he found that his vision had turned upside down, and he saw a headless, spray-painted, familiar body standing upright on one side, and finally fell into boundless darkness!
The native didn't even see what the enemy looked like, and was decapitated by the light cavalry who rushed past with a sword. The whole process was extremely fast, and it didn't cause him any pain, ending his ignorant life.
!
Two groups of light cavalry rushed through the formation in the blink of an eye, slashing the outermost layer of enemies along the edge!
Then he crossed behind the main army formation and launched another attack on the enemy's flanks!
A group of light cavalry that was originally in the east now appears in the west, and the light cavalry that originally attacked the west is now attacking the enemy in the east!
The entire conversion and maneuvering process was extremely smooth, without any pause!
However, now that they are facing the enemy, the charge and attack are not as easy as before!
At least the enemy on the opposite side already knows the direction of their attack!
Even if the enemy knows the attack route of the light cavalry, it is not useless. Those who deserve to be beheaded will still be beheaded, those who should lose their arms will still lose their arms, and those who deserve to die will still die!
It's just that before the enemy dies, he knows who killed him and how he was killed!
If you know it, you will die in pain and despair! The enemy who knows the truth does not know whether it is lucky or unlucky!
Charge after charge, attack after attack, the outermost enemies are like onions, being peeled off layer by layer!
These attacking groups composed of indigenous people were full of confidence at first, then full of apprehension, then panic, and now, they have turned into despair!
They discovered that although there were obviously much more people on their side than the other side, why they couldn't rush through, and as they rushed, there were fewer and fewer people on their side!
The strangely dressed and neatly standing people on the opposite side obviously did not take a step forward. They just moved their bodies, and something flew towards them, and then the people on their side started to appear in groups.
Fell down!
The natives were puzzled and thought, isn't this the distance for throwing a spear? How did the opponent attack so far?
I finally got around from both sides and got close. I was about to throw my spear when suddenly two groups of enemies riding strange beasts came out from behind!
These enemies riding beasts were even more ferocious. They didn't even move their hands. They just rushed over with a strange, gleaming weapon. The people on their side were like weeds, being covered in layers and rows.
Chapter completed!
