Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 776 Hard fight
The war progressed until noon, and finally reached the most intense and cruel stage!
Amidst the rumbling sound, more than 200 tiger squatting cannons were launched again, and the pill-sized shells penetrated into the army formation like a judge's urging pen. Amidst the miserable screams, the flesh-and-blood Jingchu army was immediately overthrown There was a long row.

The effect of the training is reflected. In the training subjects of the Chang'an Corps, there is an array of retreats. If other warlord troops in this era, even Guan Yu's Jingchu elite soldiers, had to escape with the gecko cutting off their tails just now, leaving the rear troops at their will. The Qin army killed, and the large troops retreated, but the Chang'an Corps followed the order of its officers panting and fearing, and retreated step by step while fighting.

In the gaps in the array, the double-bow crossbowmen kept shooting. Cannonballs, crossbows, and fellow Jing Chu who had their thighs broken and fell to the ground screaming screamed to stop them, allowing the front of the Qin army to slowly move forward. He retreated back, and even though he paid a lot of money, he still joined his large army.

"A burst of charge!"

The effect of the harsh training was fully reflected. The five regiments of the second formation, which had been exhausted from fighting, retreated to the front of the town. Rushing out from the gap in the formation, the Jingchu light infantry tried to rush up from the side of the formation, constantly harassing and killing the heavy infantry formation, but they were caught off guard and stabbed hundreds of people.

The exhausted second formation continued to retreat, the spear formation carried the front, and the light infantry drew their swords to defend the gap, maintaining an array of several hundred meters, and once again fought with the Jingchu army, which reached tens of thousands of people.

"Staff Sima! Guan Dog is attacking from the flank!"

Deng Ai's forehead was already covered with sweat. Cao Zhang should have stayed in the Chinese army, but the old thief Sima stared at him and Wang Changle who might be doing something bad, so he and Wang Changle had to stay in the Chinese army. It was the first time in his life to command a large army to fight. Even Deng Ai felt nervous as if he was suffocating.

After finally withdrawing the five regiments that had come out of the formation, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his subordinates began to report anxiously. This is the advantage of having a large number of people. They can surround and attack from all directions. Seeing that they are parallel to the army, Another two 4000-man Jingchu Army infantry were separated, and they struggled to form a group on their two wings, ready to attack him at any time. After taking a deep breath, he shouted nervously again.

"The fourth regiment of the central army, fight from left to right. In addition, order the tenth regiment of the rear army to change their formations to defend against the attacks of the bandits behind them. They also form a staggered formation and send a signal to order the Jianrui battalion to return to the main formation!"

Following the order, the four regiments on the left and right flanks of the central army turned left and right like machines, and suddenly lowered their raised axes and guns, striding quickly towards the Jingchu army who were coming to the left and right, just in time to meet with them again. The Chu army who rearranged their formation fought into a group.

At the same time, the ten regiments of the rear army that had not participated in the battle also ordered to turn backwards neatly, and to stagger and cross again. The first five regiments advanced twenty steps forward and defended on the spot.

In mid-air, with the sound of whoosh, two cloud-piercing arrows went straight into the clouds, and the female soldiers of the Jianrui Battalion who had been on a diversion mission suddenly turned their horses' heads, circled around in a hurry, and slipped in along the gap in the army formation. .

On the entire battlefield, the Chang'an Corps was like a big fish, with fish scales scattered in a complete defensive formation, and in the direction facing the rear army, soon there were two infantrymen under Guan Yu's command and more than two thousand Jingchu cavalry. Turning around, they fiercely launched wave after wave of raids on the Qin army's front. The Chang'an Army, with only 1 people, fell into the situation of being attacked from the front and back in just half an hour.

But this is also expected before the start of the war, the next task is to defend until nightfall!

…………

They relied entirely on their flesh and blood to resist the impact. After the battle, amidst the fierce roar of the war horses, the Jingchu cavalrymen with their lances were hoarse in fear, but under the military order, they had no choice but to rush forward The heavy infantry of the Qin Army defending with guns, galloping on horseshoes, faced the black cavalry like a car, and the infantry of the Chang'an Corps who defended from the front seemed to have forgotten the same fearful breathing, but the training that had been integrated into their bones made them tremble all over. Still holding the spear firmly, bent slightly, motionless.

The impact was like a splashing wave hitting the reef. The infantry array was knocked back and shrunk by about half a meter. Amid the crisp fracture sound, the heavy infantry in the first row facing the cavalry charge even had their arms broken, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. .

However, even in the face of a heavy cavalry charge, the disciplined and heavily equipped heavy infantry are not so easy to be broken up, let alone the fighting light cavalry under Guan Yu's command, who were fully pierced by sharp spears during the charge. There were more than a hundred cavalry, and the remaining cavalry who had no charging power had no advantage in hacking into the army formation with their halberds. The infantrymen who had recovered from the impact were constantly being hooked off their horses. After a few minutes, a field of corpses and more than a hundred horses without owners were left behind, and the Jingzhou cavalry retreated.

However, before the Qin army could take a breath, the Chu army, which took three to ten minutes to circle behind the Guanzhong Corps, shouted and launched an attack amidst the shouts of killing.

The pressure on the rear army is relatively small, and the front army is the most difficult part of the entire corps. After the [-] main force of the Jingzhou army and more than [-] captured Xiangyang, the Wuxi barbarian army that recruited prisoners was like a tide. A heavy infantryman in Guanzhong even has to face the attack of several people.

Deng Ai's staggered array here came into play. The first layer of the army array met the enemy, and the Chu army who came in from the gap between the army arrays faced the rear array of spears. In the gap, well-trained light infantry also It was constantly guarding the front row and the back, fighting with the short weapons of the Chu army who broke in.

In this way, the pressure on the first formation was relieved, and the Jingchu army, which broke into the first and second formations, faced a pincer attack from both sides.

But even so, riding on a horse, watching his army encircled and attacked by enemies several times larger than himself, Deng Ai was still nervous every moment as if he couldn't breathe.

Moreover, the advantage of having more soldiers and more generals is that you can attack in turn. On this end, the Jingchu army on the front line had just been repulsed. Swap one or two rounds for a short respite, the tension on the battlefield is suffocating.

On this side, Deng Ai was trembling with nervousness in the army, and Guan Yu's big maroon face on the opposite side became more and more serious. The troops were unexpectedly repelled by these pass opponents wave after wave, and each impact caused extraordinarily heavy casualties, and the muscles on his cheeks were also twitching slightly.

"Rear Army, Hammer Soldiers, join the attack in the next wave!"

His palm was twisted on the handle of the heavy Xuanhua axe, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Seeing that the sun had begun to tilt towards Qin Jun's back, and the glare of the sun shining into the eyes of his troops, Guan Shouhou ordered in a particularly majestic voice!
