Chapter 211 (2/2)

At this time, there are two rows of arrays in front of him, more than 4000 people. The first row is the crossbow and the second row is the archer. These crossbowmen are from the forward team. After the projection attack, they will quickly return to their team and form a triangular formation with the battle front team.

Although Wei Ran is the commander of the brigade and dominates hundreds of people, he also wants to move forward and fight. He leads a team and is the front of the battle front team. With a lock armour inside and a 70 kg armor outside, he holds a long halberd and hangs a four stone heavy bow on his back. The left and right long knives and horizontal knives are hung around his waist. The leader advances with a cold face and a sense of killing.

After that, all the soldiers wore armor and had a neat lineup. The battle front team members all wear knives and spears, hang staggered behind them, and walk with a bow.

Li Guangsi went to the battlefield for the first time. Knowing that he was nervous, Wei Ran arranged for him to be the deputy of the team, live behind the team and supervise the operation. Li Guangsi, wearing Mingguang armor and holding a strange stranger knife in his hand, put down the ghost face armor in his helmet to cover his tension and discomfort and follow the queue steadily.

This kind of battle is completely different from the fight in the Jianghu. As a recruit, Li Guangsi is difficult to keep his mind in the big battle array. The brain was blank. He acted purely by instinct. When the whole array moved forward, he followed. When the army stopped to rectify the formation, he stopped and stood in place, as if he had become a puppet.

The heart beats violently due to tension. Even reciting the internal mental skill of Chunyang sect doesn't work. Fortunately, his hands can still sweat and spit in his mouth. This reminds him of what his eldest brother said to him before the war. A man who is on the battlefield, can hold weapons and has saliva in his mouth is a good soldier.

Li Guangsi couldn't help smiling bitterly. I can be regarded as a good soldier. But brother is also the first time to fight. Why can he stand in front and command steadily like a mountain? Is it true that I, as the orthodox heir of the Li family, can't compare with him?

When Li Guangsi was thinking, the forward was less than two miles away from the thief army. The Rangers came forward one after another from the two wings of the army, fought with the thief Army Rangers, gained the upper hand, and then harassed the front array and flanks of the thief army. Some of the Rangers detour in a large range and intend to go around behind the thief army.

Wei Ran looked around and saw that 100000 thieves were all over the plain. Looking around, he found that the two wings of the thieves were prominent and the middle was sunken. It was a typical Crane Wing array. The tactical purpose was to encircle the left and right and advocate annihilation.

The number of rogue troops is huge. They have sufficient troops to arrange such a encirclement and annihilation formation, and can be divided into the front, middle and rear armies.

However, the quality of the soldiers is very poor. The people in the front row are all old, weak, sick and disabled. They are ragged. Holding stones and sticks in their hands is regarded as weapons.

The front and back are the Chinese army. They are all young and strong. Although they are not as arrogant as the Zuo Shence army. Everyone is equipped with heavy armor, they can at least have decent weapons and list qualified formations. Only in this way can they become the main force of the thief army, but they are not elite.

The real elite are hidden in the key areas, which must be intended to win by surprise at the critical time. This is a sea of people. The scope that Wei Ran can see in his eyes is limited. Under the interference of all the dust, he can't even see how thick and wide the enemy's formation is. He only tightens his weapons and is ready to meet the enemy!

Pawns in front of the battle have only two choices: forward and backward. They are not qualified to think about the overall situation.

The thief army was harassed by Zuo Shence's Rangers. Everyone mixed up and crowded together. They were pushed forward by the spears of the middle army array, and the speed was very slow.

On the contrary, the left Shence infantry strode forward with a wedge array and soon entered the range of 150 steps. The crossbow man immediately heard the order and fired in unison.

There are two thousand crossbows in front of the military array, which are listed as a horizontal array. Under the volley, the fire is fully open, and all are flat shots, which are powerful enough to penetrate the armor.

The old, weak, sick and disabled in front of the thief army were shot in two rounds, and the casualties were not small, but the proportion of the 200000 thief army was small. Although they all began to fear to retreat, they were killed by the thief soldiers in the rear with knives and spears.

Some grassroots officers of the thief army shouted: if you rush forward, you may die, but if you don't rush, you will die! There is food without death!
