"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The thunderous sound of war drums resounded all over the field, as if the pulse of the people followed closely.
Under the orders of officers at all levels, the militia troops under Qin Lie quickly lined up, posing for a fight to the death.
"Master Banner, the militia seems to be attacking."
Seeing the civilian army galloping in front of the formation, waving flags, and billowing smoke and dust, the officers of the Qinghe army were also serious.
"If you want to launch an attack while our foothold is not stable, you will underestimate our Guards Banner Regiment too much."
Li Changqing, head of the Jinwei Banner, sat on his horse, looking at the messy formation of the civilian army, his eyes were full of teasing.
"Chief of the Banner, there are so many militiamen and soldiers, we must not be careless."
Li Changqing was the youngest banner commander in the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, and Chen Zi'ang also equipped him with a seasoned and prudent deputy banner commander and chief of staff as his assistants.
"Don't worry, I'm not a brat who doesn't know what's important."
After hearing the reminder from the chief of staff, Li Changqing, the head of the banner, explained with a smile.
Although Li Changqing has served as the chief of Chen Ziang's personal guard for a long time, Chen Ziang is also strict with him.
Chen Ziang not only asked Li Changqing to work hard, but also taught him to read and write, and learn to march and deploy.
Although most people think that Chen Ziang let Li Changqing be the head of the Guard Banner, that is cronyism.
But only Chen Ziang knew in his heart that although Li Changqing was young, in terms of military accomplishment, he was much better than those veterans.
And this time is also the first time Li Changqing's Guards Banner Regiment has played in the battle. Not only the combat effectiveness of the Guards Banner Regiment, but also Li Changqing's command ability will be tested.
"Send the order and get ready to fight!"
Hearing the drums beating more and more quickly in the camp of the militia opposite, Li Changqing turned around and shouted coldly.
Li Changqing and his Guards Banner Regiment rushed to the Moaning River overnight, and hid in the forest to rest for two hours, recovering some of their physical and mental strength.
Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment was ordered to be transferred to the command of Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, to fight for aid, so they will evacuate immediately after cleaning the battlefield on the east coast.
Therefore, the purpose of Li Changqing's battle now is very simple, to hold back Qin Lie's civilian army to cover the withdrawal of the troops of the First Banner Regiment from the battlefield.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Amidst the thundering drums, 10,000 militia soldiers stepped on the drums, slowly left the camp, and pressed towards Li Changqing and his guard flag group.
The 20th Corps of the People's Army expanded its strength from tens of thousands to nearly 200,000 in just a few months.
Although their military strength has become huge, their equipment in all aspects is seriously lacking.
The civilian army under Qin Lie's command is considered elite, but only one-third of the soldiers have swords and shields.
The other two-thirds of the soldiers' weapons are sharpened wooden sticks and other objects, and those in better condition are equipped with iron spearheads, which are more lethal.
Except for the two battalions directly under Qin Lie's military uniforms, the other battalions wore all kinds of uniforms, just like a clothes exhibition.
Many young men were arrested directly from home, so their clothes were unwashed, tattered and even smelled sour.
Behind the 10,000 militia attacking troops, more than 1,000 supervisors with sharp swords followed closely. They will be responsible for beheading deserters and maintaining the order of the battle.
?Compared to the messy civilian army, the Qinghe Army's Guards Banner Regiment is a clean-up.
Ten thousand Qinghe soldiers from the two banner battalions lined up in front, and the four-cornered square shield wrapped in iron sheet in front of the array was deeply embedded in the soil.
Countless sharp spears and spears are like a cold steel forest, which is daunting.
The melee brothers holding swords and shields stared at the militia soldiers who were slowly approaching, their beast-like eyes were full of burning colors.
Although the Guards Banner Regiment was established not long ago, officers at all levels and combat units have countless veterans as the backbone, and they have undergone intensive training for two months. Now they are like howling tigers and wolves, eager for military exploits and glory.
Behind the formation of guards with spears and spears and swords and shields, the brothers of the Qinghe army in the brigade were busy shirtless.
About twenty trebuchets had just been transported to the battlefield, and the brothers of the Qinghe Army were carrying the specially-made trebuchets from the carriage wheezingly.stone bomb.
The trebuchet unit is a major feature of the Guards Banner Regiment, and they have a full 3,000 people.
They formed a banner battalion with another 2,000 archers, which will provide long-range attack and cover for the melee troops of the Guards Banner Regiment.
In addition to melee troops and long-range troops, the Guards Banner Regiment also has 5,000 cavalry troops. They are currently deployed at the rear of the army formation as a reserve force.
Facing a multi-armed team like the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment, the civilian army is all infantry.
"Master Banner Leader, they have already entered the range of the archers!"
The 10,000 attacking militia troops were in disarray, and soon crossed the line of a stone's throw.
"Get closer and attack again."
Seeing the chaotic militiamen, Li Changqing, the head of the banner, had a cold expression on his immature face.
Although he could see that many of the opponent's army were young and strong with weapons, they were not considered soldiers.
But they have already entered the battlefield, and that is the enemy. He has to be responsible for his superiors and his brothers, and he cannot be merciful to the enemy.
"Master Banner, the archers request to attack!"
"What are you panicking, wait a second¡ª"
Although the dense militia troops had arrived, Li Changqing, the head of the banner, remained expressionless.
"Command, the archers cover and shoot!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The command flag was waved down fiercely, and a black cloud rose into the sky, passing over the heads of the infantry formation, drawing a trail of death in the sky, and covering the militia troops.
"Shhhhhhh!"
"Shhhhhhh!"
Amidst the sharp whistling sounds, the sound of puffing arrows piercing the flesh resounded continuously.
Many militia soldiers were striding forward. Facing the sudden arrows, their bodies were immediately tied into hedgehogs and fell to the ground staggeringly.
The militia soldiers are not fully equipped with weapons, let alone shields. Under the attack of arrows, they are like living targets.
"Come on!"
Fortunately, the officers of the civilian army are not stupid. The distance between the two sides is already very close. Although they don't have shields, as long as they stick them on for melee, the opponent's arrows will be useless.
The soldiers of the militia jumped over those comrades who fell to the ground after being shot, and rushed forward yelling.
"Trebuchet, shoot!"
Twenty trebuchets equipped with the Guards Flag Corps started shooting, and twenty stone bullets shot up into the air and smashed down towards the militia troops.
"Boom!"
The ranks of the civilian army were too dense, and the trebuchet troops didn't even need to aim. The first stone bomb hit the ground, and immediately smashed the body of a civilian army to pieces.
The unabated stone bullet jumped up with flesh and blood, and hit the second militia soldier again, sending him flying upside down.
With their powerful impact, the stone bullets plowed a bloody path in the ranks of the civilian army amidst the terrified screams and screams. Just one stone bomb caused at least twenty civilian soldiers to be killed and injured. . (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
