Chapter 521

"Kill!"

When the sun was burning in the sky, hundreds of thousands of troops didn't delay long in the wilderness. Seeing that the morale of the Qin army was getting higher and higher, the Chuang king didn't dare to wait any longer. After making a promise, he immediately pulled out his long knife and roared and issued an order to attack.

Dong Dong

"Kill!"

For a moment, hundreds of cowhide drums behind the army were pounded, and more than 200000 troops rushed forward one after another, shouting like a flood breaking a dike.

Even the king Chuang, who has always been pampered, has once again become the great anti king who ran the world in the past, riding on his horse to follow the charge.

"Rush for me!"

Hong Chengchou's action was also not slow. He ordered 100000 traitors to kill them. It was the so-called that many people were brave. In the cry of the tsunami, everyone's mind was blank and only knew to rush forward.

In order to decide the outcome of a war at this level, it would take at least a few days or even half a month. For the first game like today, we must send a small number of troops and horses to constantly test, rather than charging the whole army as soon as it comes up, with no room for maneuver.

It's not that Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou can't fight, but that neither of them is blind. The Qin army has strict discipline and orderly military formation. If they fight step by step, they are serious and won't have any chance.

In every battle, morale will drop by 10%. Maybe after several battles, soldiers will completely lose their fighting spirit. Therefore, it's better to press the whole army up and cheer up at the beginning.

It has to be said that when the overall strength is not as good as the other party, especially the soldiers' fighting will, this desperate choice is the most advantageous.

Qin Huan, who was not on the high platform, saw that the other party had killed all his brains, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Obviously, he was surprised and angry.

Although this rush is a manifestation of mob, if his troops are far less than the other party, they are naturally welcome to rush up, but when the two sides have equal troops and their strength and organizational strength are far stronger than the other party, in fact, he is more willing to fight with the other party to add oil war.

That is to send 10000 or 20000 troops to engage in exploratory warfare, and then continuously send reinforcements until it is dark, withdraw their troops and fight again tomorrow.

In this way, not only can the casualties of both sides be minimized, but also the rhythm of the whole battlefield can be under his control to prevent the other cavalry from fishing in troubled waters.

But unexpectedly, he just planned to send two square arrays to test, but the other party killed them all at once.

Its determination is astonishing.

Qin Huan also knew that Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou mostly saw their disadvantages and their advantages, so they wanted to work hard and decide the outcome in a short time.

After all, there is a certain distance between each of their squares. More than 300000 people rush up together, which may disturb their formation at once.

Qin Huan sneered at this thought. He wanted to show these guys the difference between a mob and a real Army today.

So he drew his knife and roared, "blow the horn! Towns defend themselves! "

Sobbing, sobbing

As the herald waved down the flag, the horn on the high platform sounded with a unique rhythm.

Dozens of trumpets on the small platforms on both sides also blew. On the front more than ten miles wide, there was a carriage almost every 200 meters, on which not only a big drum, but also a trumpet, a flag pole and flags of various colors were placed.

At this moment, the trumpeters on these carriages sounded at the same time.

Therefore, despite the roar of killing and the sound of enemy drums, the unique horn of the Qin army can still be clearly distinguished, especially harsh, and quickly spread throughout the battlefield.

This call for in-situ defense belongs to the basic battlefield orders of the Qin army, not to mention the chief military officers and school captains of each town, even ordinary Qin soldiers can understand it, so the chief military of each town and the commander of each independent battalion issued the defense orders at the first time.

Around the commanders of all towns and battalions, there is also a pocket command system, which is composed of war drums, gongs, horns and letter flags, which leads to a long sound of horns on the whole battlefield at that time.

As the soldiers had already made preparations in their hearts, they responded as soon as the horn sounded in all towns and battalions. In fact, they didn't need to do anything.

Because the towns were already close to the defensive array, but the four corners of the square array contracted a little and formed an arc.

The long soldiers and spearmen put down the spears one after another, while the sword and shield soldiers kept knocking on the shield to cheer. The archers bent their bows and arrows one after another behind, and the arrow tip pointed diagonally at the front.

The ten independent battalions of the second echelon also made a defensive posture, but because they were all long sword soldiers, they only symbolically crossed the knife in front of them. Obviously, the horn orders of the Qin army could not distinguish between towns and battalions.

But it doesn't matter much. Just use the flag to make up for it.

A mile is neither long nor short. Almost as soon as the fifteen towns of the Qin army were ready, countless intruders and traitors rushed up.

In fact, in the face of this situation, if the order of the whole army to charge is delayed, the chief military officers of each town will issue their own order of in-situ defense.

If a town needs to attack alone, it can no longer blow trumpets and drums, but must send war horse signal soldiers to convey specific military orders.

Of course, the Qin army also has a more efficient means of communication, that is, using the letter flag. The commanders of all towns and battalions have a flag watcher with a telescope around them, always paying attention to whether the flags are raised on both sides of the military flag on the high platform.

However, this means of communication sometimes has accidents, such as the observation hand is distracted, or the dust obscures the line of sight, so they all work in two ways. While playing the letter flag, they also send horseback signal soldiers.

At this time, when the Chuang troops rushed up and killed with 15 military formations, and countless Chuang troops continued to rush forward along the gap between the military formations, two slightly smaller flags floated on the high platform and on the flagpoles on both sides of the military flag.

On the left is a pattern with two crossed swords, which means attack. On the right is a number. Each town and battalion has an independent number. There is only one number on one flag, and there are also several numbers at the same time, which represents which battalion and which town should attack.

At this time, the number above is one to ten, which means that all ten independent battalions attack.

Of course, the number code and the color of the flag are not fixed, but can be planned and adjusted in advance before the war.

For example, Qin Huan divided all the armies into four echelons in this war, so the flag of each color can represent one echelon, and the independent combat unit of each echelon is a number.

Generally, the flag of one color can only have ten numbers at most. If there are more than ten combat units in an echelon, it will be divided into two and represented by two flags of different colors.

In other words, the pattern on the left flag represents the intention, and the number on the right flag represents the executing force.

In fact, the patterns are very simple. There are five kinds. Two crossed swords represent attack, shield represents defense, arrow bent to the left represents detour to the left, arrow bent to the right represents detour to the right, and an arrow turned around represents detour to the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's rear.
