A large number of people and flags were surging in the distance, and some people stopped in place, some people in front continued to move forward, and the cavalry on both wings were also moving. On the hillside further away, infantry and cavalry were also moving according to certain rules. There were hundreds of thousands of people, as if a huge war machine was slowly moving and making huge noises!

In this backward era of small peasant economy and nomadic economy, countless people showed the highest organizational degree of the times in battle formations and concentrated a large number of resources within their ability of productivity.

Guo Shao stood on the hillside, observing every part of the depths of the mist without saying a word. It can be seen that the rhythm of the coalition forces' attack was very calm... They deployed a cavalry on the side between the front and back of the Daxu army, monitored Cao Bin's army, and concentrated their efforts to bite more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry of the front army in this ravine. It seemed that the situation was indeed good.

Guo Shao paid attention to the wooden stakes on the battlefield. About 1,200 feet from the front line of the Xu army, the coalition forces gathered more than 50,000 infantry to form a formation there. There were hundreds of square formations, forming a large array with a wide cross-section and a large depth.

The main force of the enemy cavalry was still far behind. The cavalry on the two wings of the invaders were different in armor and looked like ragged, unlike the elite cavalry of the Liao army.

After a while, the coalition vanguard infantry continued to advance uphill, with a force of about 4,000 or 5,000. There was a loud drum sound at the bottom of the hillside.

"Woo..." The vigorous horns rang out in unison, passing the noisy crowd in the wind, and leaping into countless valleys.

On the hillside, a row of commanders waved the two-colored flags with both hands, with red hearts on the left and red hands, and black hearts on the right hands. The red flags were backwards, and the black flags were forwards, dancing repeatedly.

The generals were shouting and scolding from various formations in front of Xu Jun immediately heard loudly shouting and scolding from the generals. The soldiers immediately intersected, and the four rows of infantry holding spears in front turned around and passed through the gaps between the divine arms and arms in the queues behind; then the heavy infantry in the rear, wearing plate armor, steel helmets, swords and shields moved to the front.

The enemy soldiers, holding various weapons, had already come along the gentle hillside. Countless people stepped on the loess and covered the dust. "Wow..." strange screams, like a large group of wild beasts rushing out of the mountains.

The soldiers of Xu Jun all stared at the crowd of people who were getting closer and closer, wearing iron sheets, holding swords, guns, sticks, and shields like savages, and guns, sticks and shields.

A general in the crowd above shouted, "Da Xu will win!"

"Long live..." The shouts of the troops suppressed the hustle and bustle on the battlefield. "Drink!" The neatly arranged heavy infantry lifted the meticulously crafted iron-covered wooden shield, holding a one-handed sword and placed it on the shield.

An enemy soldier in the middle yelled and rushed over within a hundred steps. The chirping sounds were meaningless, but the voices were filled with tension, fear and anger.

"Prepare!" "Prepare..." The commanders drew their swords and shouted.

"Bang!" With a gong, a commanding divine arm in the middle raised the bow and arrow without aiming. "Crackling..." The string sounded, and a cluster of black arrows in the air filled the sky.

"Let go!" "Let go..."

In an instant, enemy soldiers rushed up from all over the place, and arrows in the air flew up and down. The falling arrows hit Xu Jun's iron armor and "ding-ding-dang" sounded, and a scream came from time to time.

In the middle, the soldiers first met in close contact. There were many people in the crowd, so I saw swords wielding. In fact, people swung their weapons very slowly, and they all swung them hard! It would be useless to have too little force. Both sides were holding shields, and Xu Jun was wearing heavy armor.

"Bang!" A man from Dangxiang shouted and directly hit Xu Jun's shield with a wooden shield. With the momentum, the soldier retreated and slammed the horse stance. The man from Dangxiang immediately swung his mace and swung it. The first "clang" sounded, hitting the soldier's shoulder armor, causing the soldier to scream and the shield to fall, but he immediately picked up the iron sword and stabbed it hard at the gap of the Dangxiang's wooden shield, and blood immediately swelled his face.

A soldier Xu was stabbed into his chest with a knife and screamed loudly.

In front of Xu's army, the formation was turbulent, and the sound of killing was shocking. The sparks of iron tools shone like Venus in the yellow dust. The contact surface of the fight was very limited, but the divine arm on the hillside shot flat against the approaching Dangxiang Army infantry, killing a lot. The most terrifying place in front of the fight, but the most casualties were the bow and arrow shooting in depth.

The heavy infantry in front fought bloody battles, with crazy enemy soldiers in front and densely packed teams behind. There was no way forward and no way, so I could only fight desperately!

The general yelled not far away: "Those who take a step back will kill!"

The military band played passionate songs with a trumpet. Each hundred people had civil servants in the messenger system, and they were also loudly encouraging morale. The military generals were shouting and scolding, and the civil servants were using various noble words to praise the soldiers and regarding them as if they were home... But none of these could eliminate the blood, pain, and fear of the soldiers.

The crowd on the main hillside_the handover line, screams and shouts of killing were louder than the sound of drum music.

People were panting, sweating in the cold air, and spitting white gas. The elite soldiers were first and foremost strong men, because they were desperate to fight! Wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, the power of the step bow was always one stone, and it felt like they were exhausted after pulling it a few times.

A soldier with a divine arm heard the shout of "preparation", then he opened his bow and arrow, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. At this moment, he saw an infantry brother slashing at an enemy soldier next to him, and another enemy soldier in front picked up his spear and rushed over with all his strength. In an instant, the archer did not think much, and immediately turned the bow and arrow, and shot it nearby with a "bang".

The Xu army infantry found an arrow suddenly inserted on the forehead of the enemy soldiers on the front. He felt scared and looked back. But at this time, the strings of the "pah..." in the divine arm and hand queue sounded, and a large group of people were shooting arrows.

...The Chinese military square flag had the word "Xu" written on it, flying in the wind. Guo Shao and his subordinates stood still, watching the yellow dust in front of them, bloody and bloody rain. The personal soldiers stood there without having to go into battle, but their bodies were tense and stared at them.

The trumpeter not far away kicked his eight-character feet and held the drums tightly, looking like he was ready to rush. The shouting sounds on the hillside were heard, forming a "buzzing..." noise. From time to time, loud shouting came from time to time, and the "Die Ling" sound was short and powerful, extremely nervous.

At this time, a member general turned his head, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said nothing.

Guo Shao had already seen with his own eyes that the second batch of enemy infantry was moving forward in formation. This time there were more people, maybe tens of thousands! The battle ahead continued!

In this situation, the enemy soldiers will invest new forces and replace the first batch of troops!

Wheel tactics.

The enemy troops on the battlefield with messy armor and weapons were like savages, but they were obviously not real primitive people, so they could not underestimate their tactics. The war in the northwest has been fought for thousands of years, and the "military advisers" of the Liao Dynasty in the coalition were not good at all. The Liao Kingdom was a real powerful country, and its influence once exceeded that of the Central Plains. Many distant countries in the north regarded the Liao Dynasty as "China".

Looking at the signs of order in the chaos and order in the battle formation, Guo Shao finally spoke: "Send the order and use the siege iron cannon to assist the front-line infantry!"

"Get orders!"

After a while, Wang Pu picked up the seal, put it on a piece of paper, and handed it to a civil servant. Soon the civil servant took two commanders with yellow pennant flags on their backs and rushed out.

The gun mount had a huge muzzle and a thick cannon body. Half of the siege mortar was buried in the soil. A general took the military order and turned his hand to the military staff on the side. He immediately drew out his sword and shouted: "Your Majesty's imperial edict, the iron cannon battalion will fight! He ordered the iron cannon teams to prepare for firing!"

While shouting, the troops simply pulled out the straw paper blocking the muzzle, and gunpowder and stone bullets had already been loaded.

The 20 or so big black holes were diagonally facing the sky. When a gong sounded like a "clang", a shout came: "Let it go!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." A thunderous sound rang one after another, and the earth was trembling.

On the gentle slope, white smoke rose one after another, and flames blew brilliantly in the smoke. The sound was huge, but the rock bullets did not fly fast, and they were huge in size. They flew into the air with their eyes visible to them, and fell into the coalition crowd with their weight.

Nearly a hundred kilograms of stone fell from mid-air, and below was a densely formed coalition infantry battalion, spreading all over the place. The stone cannons could hit people at will, and only a few hit the open space between the square formations.

The entire battalion of iron cannons fired a volley of enemy soldiers into the crowd, and dozens of enemy soldiers were killed and injured!

The stone bullet fell between the dry and hard loess sand and stones, causing the loess dust to splash, like explosion smoke! Some hit people straight, while others cracked, and the stones splashed up. One or two people around were hit or injured.

However, the shelling really shocked the Dangxiang army. They were hit hundreds of feet away, which was unexpected by ordinary soldiers.

The scene was very terrifying. On the loess, a soldier was lying there with his head broken, and his flesh and white splattered all over the ground. On the other side, the bloody liver and intestines were in a pool of blood. Some soldier was covering his cheeks that were hit by the stones, screaming.

In the blockbuster phalanx where Dangxiang had just stepped forward, some chaos and disturbances occurred everywhere, and the speed of advancement was slower. People looked up at the sky.

However, Xu Jun's artillery fire broke out and became silent. The iron cannon only carried a battalion of five hundred people. After one round, it was also very troublesome to clean the cannon chamber and load it.

This was also effective. The second batch of enemy soldiers was shocked by artillery fire for a while, disrupting the rhythm of rotational attacks. Xu Jun defeated the enemy soldiers in front of him and won a chance to breathe. Each head of the capital was headed, and the ten generals hurriedly commanded the men to retreat into columns. The commanders of the second echelon above advanced forward in horizontal lines, with gaps between commands, allowing the columns in front to retreat.
