After the two sides were lined up, the flags were waving and drums were rushing. The soldiers and soldiers walked forward. If you look at it from a high place, the troops on both sides were quite different. There were more than 27,000 bandits and more than 2,000 left on the ship to prevent the Penghu Navy from raiding. There were still three or four thousand guards in the sea outside Penghu.

There were thousands of soldiers in Penghu, and five or six thousand thieves remained behind, which was enough to defend against the raid behind him.

There were more than 26,000 people, and their left refusal was very thick, with many spears, and the thieves were densely packed, almost embracing each other and heading on the front line.

The right-hand refusing is much thinner than the left refusing, but it is still much thicker than the Nan'an Prefecture Army. It not only expands longer, but also has a thicker depth.

Neither side had a logistics supply or a camp. Only the Nan'an Prefecture Army had a long base behind it, and only the people were strongly guarded.

The beach is more than five miles east and west, and there is no end to the north and south at a glance. The two sides are spreading three or four miles north and south, while the east and west are within a five-mile range. There are tens of thousands of people on this narrow battlefield, and the troops are quite dense, and almost many pirates are behind the sea.

Qin Dongyang was in front of the first battalion of the First Army, but the generals and the soldiers of the prefecture could not call the general the leader the first vanguard. He watched a strong military man holding a shield in his left hand and a horizontal knife in his right hand, and strode into the first row of the First Army.

In the past, countless armies and arrows were all over the army, with these similar men, with iron armor all over their bodies, blocking their faces within the iron mask. When walking, they seemed to be not wearing iron armor weighing more than 70 kilograms.

This kind of strong man reminded Qin Dongyang of the records in history books, legendary ancient soldiers and heroes seemed to be vivid and appeared in front of him.

Maybe those men holding shields and knives were Fan Kuai who put pig legs on the shield at the Hongmen Banquet and cut them with a knife to eat them.

Such people are like walking iron beasts. Even if you observe, the opposite line is longer and deeper, so what?

With such a heroic thought, Qin Dongyang made great strides. He also walked in the team with a shield with his left hand and a knife with his right hand. If many soldiers recognized him, he would probably regard the first of the general as an ordinary soldier.

The two armies were very close to each other in a flash, from more than two miles to about a mile, then less than three hundred steps, then less than two hundred steps, and then about a hundred steps down.

Xu Zixian knew that the archers and crossbowmen in the array of the Mansion Army were about to be shot. The number of crossbowmen in the Nan'an Mansion Army was not too large. There were about 70 people in each hundred people of the Wei army, and at least about 60 people were archers.

In the war against nomadic cavalry, the Wei army used heavy infantry to cover the archers to fight against the cavalry, and there was no other way.

The Nan'an Hou Mansion focuses on hand-to-hand training and encourages soldiers to fight with the enemy. Whether it is the long-handed soldiers in the formation, the iron cavalry, or the sword player, they are all powerful troops who are ready to charge and fight with the enemy.

However, there are still a large number of archers and crossbowmen in the Nan'an Marquis's army.

This is also a powerful weapon for the Great Wei to fight against foreign wars. The Great Wei has heavy bows and arrows, so there are a large number of qualified archers among the people. This is an advantage, so how can we ignore it? That is to be slaughtering.

The Divine Arm Bow is easy to use, but its power is greater than that of the bow and arrow. It is one of the best achievements in the development of China's military. The Divine Arm Bow of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion is less than 100. It was originally used for use by the cavalry camp, but now it is concentrated in the hands of the two-wing infantrymen, and cooperates with hundreds of archers to suppress the enemy at a long range.

After noon, both sides were moving towards each other. The pirate array was divided into very wide-ranging horizontal arrays, and flew forward under the guidance of various flags. Due to lack of training, the pirate array was intertwined for a while and was in chaos. Apart from maintaining a posture of continuing to move forward, it was almost impossible to see that there was an array. A large number of people were walking forward in a mess, waving swords and roaring as they walked.

There is no doubt that these pirates are bloodthirsty, cruel and violent, but they really do not have the ability to set up military formations. From this point of view, they are not much more skillful than Qizhou.

Of course, their abilities are not comparable to those of the rammed people in the Battle of the River Beach. Many pirate leaders have a lot of experience. When they reach 150 steps, roars sounded one after another. Then the archers among the pirates quickly unfolded in the corners of various horizontal formations. They usually carry two to three bags on their backs. There are not many pirate archers, and there are only a few hundred archers in the army of tens of thousands of people. Most of them use longbows with one man high. Perhaps most of them are Japanese archers. Islanders from Luzon countries are good at using bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the government army had a strict gait. Although the overall military formation had slightly tilted, they generally maintained the formation before the impact, with almost no change.

Their heads were pointed and the sunlight shone behind them. The entire army was like a god coming out of the Buddha's kingdom. They took advantage of the sunshine and came in thunder, beating drums on both sides. In terms of momentum, the government army looked like a regular army and had already suppressed the pirates.

"How might it be." Xu Zixian's heart, the souls of modern people seem to be gradually fading away. The war is about to begin, and flesh and blood will fly everywhere in a while. Not only does he feel afraid or have

I felt quite excited when I was feeling strange.

The military man's sense of honor on the battlefield and a certain sense of bloodthirsty, the formation of the government troops has added a bit of hope for victory.

After sighing, Xu Zixian said to Zhang Huchen beside him: "I want to say here that the best outcome and destination of a warrior is not to leave the world in the tears of his relatives, but to fight with powerful enemies on the battlefield and die of blood all over his body, so that he can live up to his life."

Zhang Huchen said in a deep voice: "The king and the lord are not warriors."

Xu Zixian smiled slightly, knowing that he was making a mistake, and waved his hand and said, "The stronger the Dongfan Army, the less chance I will have to go into battle. Maybe in a few years, there will be no chance to charge again. Please do your best."

...

At this time, both sides seemed to be at the same time and started shooting arrows at the same time.

The arrows were so dense that they covered the sky. Many pirates lacked restraint. They couldn't help but look up, and then they were shot to the ground by the storm-like arrows.

The Nan'an Prefecture Army used heavy arrows to shoot. Since we usually attach importance to the training of soldiers' bow strength, qualified archers of the Prefecture Army may not be very accurate. Accuracy is an assessment standard, but the first standard is still bow strength.

The four bows in the army, the stairs bows need to be coordinated with arm strength and waist strength. If you don’t have the strength, it will be useless to say anything.

Ten powers are more than 150 pounds of strong bows in later generations, and few people in ordinary bows and archers can pull them away. At this time, soldiers are the most basic standard. If they can't pull out ten bows, they should give up their plan to be archers.

In fact, there are not many people who can't pull it away. In the army, including Nan'an Hou, they use bow strength to measure strength standards, and also use bow strength to train arms, chest, waist and other parts. Xu Zixian pulled the bow more than a hundred times every morning until he was sweating profusely. The same is true for many generals. Pulling the bow is more effective than the few exercises exercised in later generations. It is a good way to kill multiple shots.

Both archers began to shoot arrows within a hundred steps, and the Nan'an Prefecture Army's bow power was obviously better. They were both shot heavy arrows. When they fell into the group of pirates without armor protection, they immediately shot into pieces.

The rain of arrows seemed to be everywhere, nowhere to be continuous, landing on people's heads, and suddenly shot people to the ground and then fell to the ground.

When ejaculated on the neck, blood gushed out, people fell down with their eyes and covered their necks, and they died soon.

There were even heavy arrows falling down, and the force was too strong, and a shovel-shaped arrow was used. The force was too strong, so that the person who was hit by the arrow shot half of the neck was shocked after seeing it.

The chest, abdomen, legs, and arms were everywhere. Under the storm of arrows, the waves attacked by the pirates were stopped, and their pace of forward slowed down significantly.

The pirate archers also began to fight back, but their bow strength was insufficient and their shooting speed was not fast. However, due to the large number of pirates and the number of archers was far above the government army, it seemed that the momentum was not weaker than that of the Nan'an government army. When shooting, the arrows flew in the air, and arrows often collided in the air and then fell to the ground.

The battlefield soon filled with a strong smell of blood. The blood soaked into the ground, and then was stepped on by a pair of barefoot or in numb straw sandals. The ground became muddy, and the smell of blood and the smell of soil were mixed, making people feel like they wanted to vomit.

The dust even rose, and strong winds often blew on the beach, and the rain was sufficient. There was not much dust at first, but tens of thousands of people gathered on such a battlefield. Countless people stepped on the ground, and the dust continued to float up. The entire military formation on both sides was shrouded in light yellow dust.

The leaders were wearing armor and there were constant "tuk-tuk" sounds around them, followed by screams.

When entering eighty steps, the divine arm bow was also fired. The sound of the snap and the powerful arrows swept through the sky, giving people an extremely terrifying feeling.

The Divine Arm Bow can actually be fired earlier, and its range is farther than that of the bow and arrow. However, Xu Zi first thought that shooting at close range could bring more terrifying damage, and unexpectedly.

Sure enough, dozens of people fell over in a volley of divine arm bow. Most of them were strong arrows entering the body, either seriously injured or died. For the shooting of the bow and arrow, the divine arm bow is indeed much more terrifying than ordinary bows and arrows.

At this distance, you can even see the faces of the pirates clearly. Most of their faces are horrified and distorted. These people rarely encounter such a scene of fighting after looting the people or operating in Southeast Asia.

They were just thinking of killing and looting, and felt that the number of troops on the opposite side was not large, so they were very energetic. When the rain of arrows fell, there were already many corpses in front of the formation, the pirates were frightened and said to each other: "This kind of bravery of the Wei people, I am afraid that it will not be easy for us to defeat them."

The pirates were a little depressed and were shot to death. The corpses on the ground were constantly pulled away to avoid affecting the movement of the brigade. When dragging the corpses, the pirates shouted depressed from time to time. Obviously, they did not expect that so many people would die under the bow and arrow.

Although the Nan'an Prefecture Army is not fully equipped, the closer they are to the sharp array, the closer they are to the armor, and the ones behind are cotton armor or leather armor.

, or no armor to wear.

The sharps at the front were all wearing heavy armor, and most of the soldiers behind them also had armor and helmets.

When the pirates shot arrows, everyone lowered their heads and used the brim of their helmets and the iron armor on their bodies to block the arrows. The arrows fell on their bodies and made a sound, which slid directly to the ground. A few people were penetrated through the gaps in the iron armor and penetrated the arrows, but the strength of the arrows was weak and the damage caused was not great.

The pirates lacked bow power. When they extended the arrows far away, a large number of soldiers of the palace swung their long snails and used the tips to directly slap the arrows with unfast firing speed.

Lu Wenluo kept waving his shield. He felt that his body was still strong and the arrows pose very little threat to him. Only when the frontal arrows arrived, he would slapped the shield away, or cross it in front of his chest, huddled behind the shield, and blocked most of the threat with the shield.

At this time, the army advanced to about fifty or sixty steps, and the pace of both sides slowed down. At such a close distance, they could see each other clearly. On the left and right sides of the palace army, the pirates gradually convexed from the flanks, surrounding the entire palace army array.

At such a close distance, the archers on both sides were still shooting arrows. The arrows were even more powerful and denser, and more and more people were shot. People kept falling down in front of the array, making muffled groans or painful screams.

Lu Wenluo was sweating profusely, and after a while, the sweat dripping on his feet kept falling, showing obvious water stains.

At this moment, everyone has no distractions and just wants to break the enemy in front of them.

When he was cowardly in front of the formation, he turned around and fled not only to face the pursuit and killing of the enemy, but also to avoid the punishment of military law afterwards. The army was originally a violent organization. The Nan'an Houzhi army did not use much punishment and corporal punishment to intimidate the soldiers, but the law enforcement was extremely strict and there was no possibility of lenient loans.

As long as someone dares to turn around in front of the formation and keep looking back, the team leader can be beheaded immediately. Even if the team officer does not behead and flees to the formation, there will be a military governor responsible for handling it. Even if he survives by chance, there will be no possibility of forgiveness and will definitely be beheaded and will not forgive him.

Moreover, his own beheading and his family were also implicated, so even if he was in a forest of white blades, enemies in front of him were like wild animals, and arrows were falling like rain, he could be shot and died at any time. Lu Wenluo had no distractions, so he could only hold a shield and carry a knife and continue moving forward.

More arrows are warriors like Luwenlo, and some arrows are even taken by the whistle officers.

These people were all wearing iron armor or multiple armored clothes, strong and strong. They did not suffer from the weight of armor. Within fifty steps, the steps of both sides slowed down, walked forward slowly, stared at each other, and even breathing sounds could be heard. The fishy smell on the battlefield also wrapped around everyone, making people feel uncomfortable, and at the same time, bloodthirsty desire surged.

When they reached about ten steps, the government army was still sharp and sharp, and the thieves were already frustrated. It was the first time they had encountered such a violent rain of arrows.

At this time, the archers of the government army followed the army and did not stop. They stood on the wings of the government army's triangular array and still shot with bows and arrows. At this time, they used light arrows, pulling the bows and shooting flat. The arrows were shot quickly and quickly, and the people's confidants would die, and the thieves were frightened.

What the group of thieves are even more afraid of is the divine arm bow. The arrow is short and the power is very strong. The middle-aged man will penetrate his body and can even shoot the person behind him, carrying minced flesh, internal organs, and bloody rain forward, which is creepy.

The pirates did not meet the Great Wei imperial guards at the peak. If the Great Wei army fought this battle, thousands of people would be enough. The troops were all wearing heavy armor, with shield-carved soldiers and long-wielding hands in front, a large number of divine arm bows behind, and there were also slashing crossbows, waist crossbows, and bed crossbows behind, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. They were brave and powerful like pirates, but the array was not magical. They lacked iron armor and shields, and there were no troops with light and light horse characteristics of Mihu war horses. Several rounds of volleys, and long arrows like bed crossbows shot through their formation. After a few rounds, the pirates would collapse.

Although the pace is slow, the distance is very similar.

The flag of the Nan'an Hou stood behind the formation. The flag of the First Army and the Second Army followed the army. Wu Weisan was appointed as the flag guarding army envoy at the last battle. He led a sentry to escort the flag and slowly moved forward.

Because he saw the pirate array being shot with dog teeth and was extremely frustrated, Wu Weisan sighed without feeling sorry for the enemy and said softly: "If you wait for the enemy with a square formation, keep firing on the wings and move several bed crossbows from the North and South Forts to the front of the formation, you may not be able to break the enemy with bows and arrows. The king and Hou thought too much, he is always willing to fight with hand-to-hand to defeat the enemy, and he is too underestimating the enemy."

Wu Weisan spoke very little, and he didn't dare to let others hear it. After saying that, because he was riding on a horse and on a high slope, he could see Jin Baoyi on one side of the array, and Qin Dongyang was protruding in front of the other side.

The Ge brothers, Lin Cunxin, Li Xingwu and others were all in the formation.

Looking at the inside and outside of the right side, there are more than 500 cavalry cavalry, forming a cavalry formation with more than ten people. The flag of the cavalry commander Zhang Huchen was erected in the first row, Zhang Huchen was also in the front row, and Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, dressed in heavy armor, was also in the front row.
