Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth defeat
But the spears from the hands of the soldiers of the palace were thrown out.
In an instant, it seemed as if the sky was dark, and the sky was full of dense short spears buzzing and flying. The Ge brothers were good at throwing spears, and when the close combat was between thirty to fifty steps, they used spears to kill the enemy, and they were powerful, and suddenly, they would achieve unexpected effects.
If it is at a high place, you can see that the soldiers of the government army threw hundreds of short spears almost instantly. Because Ge Cunzhong and others were well-instructed, the soldiers of the government army could throw their short spears thirty steps away. Along the stalemate line of the middle road, at least 300 short spears were thrown out at the first time. The remaining soldiers in the back row still pulled out the remaining spears from behind and continued to throw forward.
Yan Qi's army was hit hard in an instant.
These pirates wearing iron helmets and fine iron armor have much more neat team than those miscellaneous fish. They are all carefully selected brave people, eager to kill and ignore death.
But they watched their friends beside them be thrown by short spears, and some were cut into their belly, and their internal organs and intestines flowed out together, and a strong stench and bloody smell spread out instantly. This scene was a hundred times more terrifying than the hell in people's fantasy. Even pirates who killed countless people could not bear this disgust and fear, and were even more afraid of the threat of throwing spears. Many people couldn't help but lean down to avoid it.
How can you avoid such close-range spears?
More short spears were thrown over, and the power of the close-range spear was greater than that of the heavy arrows shot flat. Even if you were wearing armor, the spearhead could easily break the defense of the armor and penetrate deep into the human muscles, which could easily cause serious injuries.
If you stab a person in the neck, you will die in an instant.
When he hit the door, the person could not even scream and died.
The chest, belly, and the abdomen were all seriously injured and screamed, and they soon died.
The bloody smell on the battlefield was even stronger. Yan Qi had already met with the soldiers of the palace. He danced the scimitar and waved the shield, but he also knew that the heavy iron spear could not be blocked by the shield. He could only call his subordinates behind him and contact the Wei people as much as possible. If he took a few steps back, he might be pierced by the spear.
The pirates were already seriously injured. More than 300 soldiers rushed forward and were immediately thrown into the air by spears. The attacks of the government troops were still fierce, like the sea water at high tide, rising from waves, constantly rushing forward.
The pirates' bravery and martial arts were finally unable to resist. A large number of pirates were killed under such attacks, and more began to retreat.
Yan Qi fought with several government troops. He was very confident at first, but after a blow, he realized that although there were only three people on the other side, he cooperated very well.
One man held a shield and only tried to resist Yan Qi's attack. The two men held a slut, one on the left and one on the right, kept attacking each other.
The man in the center was probably two heads taller than Yan Qi. He was wearing iron armor and kept dripping blood beads down. The beard on his lips and chin was extremely dense. In fact, the government army did not recommend that soldiers suck their beards, and they usually had to shave them short. This is Lu Wenluo. He did not shave during his return home. After going to the island, he prepared for war and had no time to take care of this matter. At this time, Yan Qi's attack was like a storm, but Lu Wenluo was not panicked. His horizontal knife slashed seven or eight holes and could no longer be used. Lu Wenluo simply threw the horizontal knife, holding a shield in both hands, squatting half apart, and using the shield to block the pirate's scimitar.
One of the two partners behind him was Zhou Huaiyong, and the other Lu Wenluo did not recognize him, but the two had the same tacit understanding as his cooperation. The three of them not only blocked Yan Qi's attack, but also bit the bandit leader, so that Yan Qi would have a chance to escape.
A group of pirates came up to try to help, but were blocked by another government army.
The pirate's mid-range was broken, or in other words, a chaotic array gathered in the middle was completely broken. In front of the soldiers fighting in the array, these pirates, who were more brave than the thieves in Qizhou, were more cruel than the bandits in the western part of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the bandits in Jinghu, were not opponents of the dignified formation.
Holding a bow and arrow and holding a long scepter is not a warrior, but a brigade is bound together, orders are prohibited, and killing lives to serve the country. This is the real warrior and has the virtue of a warrior.
This is the belief of Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, and it was also instilled in his subordinates. The soldiers of the government army attacked the enemy with sharp formations and killed the enemy until now. The casualties of the vanguard were unknown. However, one of them died in the formation, and the rear row quickly moved forward and continued to attack. No one hesitated or looked back. Under such an impact and attack of the military formation, under the rain of arrows and spears, even though the soldiers of the government army were not thick in armor and weapons, they were advancing step by step, and they defeated the enemy in front of them.
At this point in the battle, the situation on the battlefield was quite obvious. The large formation of the government troops was basically kept intact. The array of the large triangle was pushing forward and about the west. Many pirates had been pushed back to the beach. Some pirates were panicked and began to hide in some buildings at the dock.
The central army kept shooting arrows, throwing spears, and cooperating with each other.
The pirates killed were scattered.
There were many corpses on the ground, and both sides were killed and injured. However, with each death, a soldier from the palace, with strict cooperation, at least ten people on the opposite side were killed. Due to the rapid impact and the heavy killing, the corpses on the ground gradually piled up together. When people died, the blood flowed continuously, and the originally dry ground became muddy.
Many soldiers of the government had to pause and dragged the corpses that blocked the formation behind them to one side. Some pirates were seriously injured and not dead. At this time, they didn't care about finishing the attacks on them, and just threw them away with the corpses, making them moan and struggle.
A pirate cried behind the formation, and a leader almost died. Even if there was a ship, it was useless. He hit the ground and cried: "How good is it to be happy on the Nanyang Sea. It is easy to grab a merchant ship. However, when he came to this Wei territory, he suffered such heavy casualties. Why did he come!"
When the sarcasm sounded, they could no longer stop them. These pirates enjoyed killing when they were strong, but when they were killed, their cowardice made them completely unable to stop themselves.
Ge Cunzhong and others heard howls and said unconsciously: "It's really shameful to say that this generation is a strong enemy. Today's fight with these cowards is really dirty. After fighting this battle, you have to go to Nan'an River to clean it."
The morale of the government army was greatly boosted and the attack became faster. Although there were large pirates running on both sides, stirring up dust in the sky, the government army's formation was ignored. Only the archers on the left flank kept firing arrows to disrupt the enemy formation. The main force still moved forward, striving to completely penetrate the pirates head-on.
Qin Dongyang has confirmed that the staircase formation can break the enemy, but he is also worried that the enemy's left wing is thick. When he watched the situation in the left wing, he estimated that there were more than 10,000 pirates on the left wing. Although the array was chaotic, it was extremely thick. The number of thieves in this group alone was more than twice that of the government army, so it is not said that he has defeated the enemy completely.
The middle formation cannot be stopped now, and it cannot attack the enemy sideways. It can only penetrate the pirates in the middle and turn around from behind their left wing to attack again. As for the pirates' right wing, there are not many, and the array is scattered, so there should be no general to preside over the leadership. The army is depressed, so don't care about them for the time being.
After the decision was settled, Qin Dongyang called a commander to the Tangma and said to him: "Go to the Lord and Hou, our army can penetrate the enemy's midfield within a moment, and then attack the left wing with him. When the battle started, please ask the Lord and Hou to lead the cavalry to attack the side of the left wing. At that time, it would be like an iron hammer to strike the earthen pot, and it could defeat the enemy with one blow."
Tang Ma listened carefully and repeated Qin Dongyang's words. After confirming that, he immediately got on the horse and left.
Seeing the cavalry leaving, Qin Dongyang calmed down a little. It was not easy to dispatch the large formation in front of the formation. During this period, the left-wing pirates would work together with the right-wing to turn around.
But Qin Dongyang did not want the king to take risks. The earlier the cavalry camp joined the war, the greater the difficulties.
As long as the stair formation is turned, the power of the pirate formation is of course not an opponent of the palace army, and it can easily defeat the enemy.
...
Yan Qi fought and retreated, and behind him was not far from the sea.
At the most critical moment, some of the confidants finally rushed up and temporarily blocked the attacks of the several government troops, but the Wei people's offensive was too fierce and the central army had already crossed.
Many pirates are already swimming in the sea, hoping to swim directly onto the big ship.
But before the war, Yan Qi ordered the ship to retreat in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and even the small ship was withdrawn. The ship was several miles away from the sea, so how could he swim back for a while? Even the pirates with high water nature were still wearing clothes after the hard battle, and most of them would drown in the sea.
More people ran to the left and right sides, and there were crowds running around everywhere. Many people threw away their weapons and ran around with bare hands.
Yan Qi was surrounded by many people. At this time, more than 300 subordinates holding Tianfang Sword and Dao were nowhere to be found. At the beginning of the battle, he was satisfied that he could bring these 300 people to gather with many thieves, invite the Wei people's mansion army to break the momentum of attack. Who knew that the other party was like a huge wave, and he was like a child building a dam, trying to stop such waves. As soon as he joined the formation, more than 300 people were hit by a spear, and dozens of them died on the spot. The rest of the armored soldiers were also submerged. Before the strict and fierce array of the mansion army, personal bravery was useless. Most of the pirates began to flee, and only those who were strong and thought they were brave, or several people, or dozens of people gathered together, and were still struggling to resist.
More than twenty silver-armored soldiers gathered around Yan Qi, and dozens of people fled for their lives. Seeing the thieves gathered over Yan Qi, everyone brought the bodies to pile up, gradually forming a semicircular long battalion. They threw out some short knives, daggers, short swords and short axes, injured many soldiers of the government army who were not wearing heavy armor, curbing the opponent's attack momentum and breathing a little.
Less than half an hour after the war started, the opposite side had been pushed more than two miles away, and it had gradually reached the beach. You could clearly hear the sound of sea water hitting the shore around you, and you could also feel the misty water vapor. But for Yan Qi and others, there was no other thought except to resist hard at this time.
While fighting against the government army, Yan Qi also kept paying attention to the left side of his side, where there were more than 10,000 thieves, of which about 2,000 were elite soldiers trained by Liu Dan. Among the ten thousand troops, these more than 2,000 soldiers were also quite conspicuous. There were a large number of spearmen and sword soldiers, and they were not in a mess in the crowd, and at least they maintained a basic array.
At this time, Yan Qi had already regretted it very much!
Liu Dan once advised him to train the guards and horses around him when he was fine, and he had to train at least a few thousand people. However, Yan Qi felt that keeping thousands of people around him every day was too expensive. He was not Kang Tianqi. Kang Tianqi controlled the route of Japan, which was originally a profitable route. However, some Japanese asked him to station in a country and could collect taxes and food. The pressure of raising soldiers was very small. In addition, the sea commerce tax was collected on the route of the Great Wei in Japan, and the income was at least several times that of Yan Qi.
Yan Qi and Liu Dan are very short-sighted. Recently, they have mostly looted maritime merchants. Now the number of maritime merchants on the route to Siam to Luzon has been reduced by more than half. The rest are also walking along the coast, fearing that they will be robbed and killed by thieves.
For this reason, the thieves from Yan and Liu's tribes had already plundered the coasts of various countries, otherwise they would not be able to survive. The originally prosperous and prosperous business road was destroyed by these two people themselves, so they would not have the ability to raise soldiers.
I thought that raising more than 300 elite troops would be enough to determine the overall situation. If the countries in Luzon compete with the thieves, these troops would be enough. Unfortunately, today I encountered the Nan'an Prefecture Army, but I was far from being able to fight against it. It was too far apart. It would be too late to regret it.
Yan Qi and others were also quite tired.
Wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor, they advanced and retreated on the battlefield, waving shields and weapons to resist the attacks of the government troops. They fought and retreated, and their robes were sweating like oars. Some injured people, blood and sweat were mixed with water flowing down from the hem of the robe, and soon spilled at their feet, raising a huge pool of blood.
Everyone, including Yan Qi, had dry mouth and smoke seemed to be coming out of their lips. They brought water when they rowed ashore in the morning, but the water had been drunk. Many people put empty water bags on their lips, but they were useless.
The government troops had already reached the shore, and the soldiers were also very tired.
Behind them, there were about 100 more than a hundred soldiers of the palace, either seriously injured or had died in battle.
Some doctors in white short robes appeared on the battlefield. They kept searching in the pile of dead bodies. As long as they were from their own side, they would carry them down to see if they could be treated. Even if the bows and arrows in front were like rain and swords and swords intersected, they could not ask these doctors to stop carrying the injured mansion army.
At this time, the government army was a little tired. Many of the team leaders and whistle officers were killed or injured. When they saw their superiors and their comrades moved away in blood, the minds of the government soldiers could not be affected at all.
Jin Baoyi was slashed by a pirate. The wound was cut from his left eye to his chin on his right. His whole face seemed to be cut open. Fortunately, it was not deep into the flesh, but it was just a skin injury, but it looked extremely terrifying.
He, Lin Cunxin, Li Fuxiang and others moved their troops right respectively, gradually increasing the strength of the right wing. The archers were also slowly transferred from the left to the right. The Ge brothers led some spearmen to stay on the left. The main force was still struggling forward, but the forward line was a little weak and failed to crush the final resistance of the pirates in front.
The pirates on the left and the right side of the government army gathered more and more, and they had already extended the front of the government army to the back of the government army. If they were asked to really push over, they would attack the right back of the government army, cooperate with each other, and attack the pirates in the front, and then they would still be in a tough battle.
At this time, Qin Dongyang personally broke in front of him, and the spirit of the soldiers of the government regained their spirits and their spirits regained their strength, and they returned to the state of pursuing pirates relentlessly.
Yan Qi gritted his teeth and fought hard, hoping that Liu Dan could rescue him. The enemy in front of him became the mansion army who was more tall than human, with long hair, like a human-shaped orangutan. He held a shield in one hand and kept swaying. Yan Qi had several subordinates holding a scimitar or long sword around him, and were blocked by his shield, and then stabbed or stabbed to death by his long hand.
Around the buildings, or forming a formation to fight the enemy, and fighting with bravery and fierce instincts, quickly stepped down in the last round of violent attacks, and there were no pirates fighting last. Except for him and the dozen people around him, everyone was running away. They fled to the left and right sides, towards the seaside, and towards the dock. When they got ashore in the morning, these pirates were still full of confidence, full of bloodthirsty and desire to rob. Now their energy and physical strength have been stepped down.
