Ao Jingshan continued, "We can use bows and arrows to cover and force the enemy to charge. Since we have an absolute advantage in terms of manpower, if we switch from offense to defense, there is no reason why we cannot win."
The Seventh Prince thought for a moment and asked, "What if the Yingsang people escape?"
Ao Jingshan patted his warhorse and answered confidently: "They can't escape. If they dare to turn around, I will let the cavalry of the flag guard stick to them."
There is nothing wrong with this plan.
No one had any objection.
So Ao Jingshan asked his soldiers to pass on the order to each unit.
The troops began to advance cautiously.
The last few miles were very painful, with scouts coming from time to time to report the distance between the two sides.
Gradually, Li Qingcha, Xiang Nanyu, Luo Weiyang and other monks were able to see the great bodhisattva flag fluttering in the wind in the distance under the moonlight.
"Very close!"
Ao Jingshan nodded and waved his command flag.
The soldiers carrying the flags immediately became active, and several large flags of the Beijing camp shuttled among the troops.
A black and yellow dragon flag was also hung on the seventh prince’s carriage.
The military flag is a symbol of the army and plays the role of conveying orders and boosting morale. Therefore, when recording military exploits, cutting down the enemy's flag is often more meritorious than killing a large number of enemies.
They rode their horses to the front of the army.
Ao Jingshan estimated the distance between the two sides and ordered the front row to fire arrows.
call out--
Twenty arrows flew out,
An arc was drawn on the ground in the distance.
Li Qingcha was stunned.
"Master Ao, why are you in such a hurry to shoot the arrow?"
Ao Jingshan lowered his voice.
"Sir, you are the instructor of the Young Phoenix Camp, but you don't know this? Each of our Beijing Camp's archers is equipped with ten arrows. However, no matter how well-trained they are, it is difficult to shoot ten arrows with all their strength. They will become more and more tired as they shoot, and the range will gradually shorten."
Li Qingcha understood.
This round of arrow rain actually draws the scope of the battlefield and also has the function of measuring distance.
"How many rounds can Lord Ao fire in a row?"
"continuous?"
"Correct."
"Five rounds if you use all your strength. After five rounds, it will swell up and your ability to ejaculate will be greatly reduced."
Li Qingcha and Ao Jingshan communicated,
Xiang Nanyu, who was standing by, was so upset: ￣□￣｜｜
Shoot a few rounds...
This topic sounds weird.
Ao Jingshan was still sighing: "Only the Beijing Camp still has the ability to fight at night."
That's for sure.
The officers and soldiers of the garrisons were passed down from generation to generation, and their supplies depended on farming. To put it nicely, they were militia, but to put it bluntly, they were farmers.
Eating dry food every day has caused more than 80% of people to suffer from night blindness.
It would be strange if such soldiers could fight at night.
Li Qingcha said: "Since our physical strength is limited, let's get the enemy closer before fighting!"
Ao Jingshan's mouth curled up.
"Don't worry, sir. The rain of arrows just now will definitely arouse the ferocity of the Yingsang people."
He was right.
Li Qingcha saw from afar that the enemy launched a charge.
The pirates who led the charge were all from Yingsang, with their hair shaved into a half-moon shape, wearing a single garment or half-naked clothes on the upper body, and a loincloth on the lower body, barefoot, holding a long spear or a steel-wrapped knife.
This is a typical ronin outfit.
Ronin are samurai who have lost their land. They have been trained since childhood. They are few in number but strong in combat. They can be roughly regarded as special forces in modern warfare.
It’s a pity that without long-range weapons, even the arrival of Amaterasu will be useless.
Ao Jingshan waited with bated breath.
1 second……
2 second……
3 second……
The enemy is getting closer.
suddenly,
"Fire arrows!"
A loud roar.
The crossbowman immediately drew his bow and arrow and took aim.
Li Qingcha shouted, "Aiming is useless! Shoot upwards to reduce the opponent's impact speed!"
This is a classic projectile tactic.
Ao Jingshan thought that Li Qingcha was indeed a capable coach for the Young Phoenix Camp.
He also shouted: "Shoot up!"
Archers need to aim when shooting horizontally, but can do it with their eyes closed.
call out--
A rain of arrows flew out rapidly,
The effect of suppression is very obvious.
In this situation, the Yingsang Pirates immediately changed their formation.
The few wanderers who were rushing in the front suddenly slowed down and disappeared into the crowd.
The attacking team immediately broke up into several teams of ten people. Each team stood in a row, with the people in front waving flags and fans in their hands.
Emmm...
Isn't this a formation that sends troops to the battlefield?
However, the long tongue formation also has its merits, at least it is suitable for rapid marches or charges.
Li Qingcha observed that the strongest ronin were located at the front or rear end of the formation, while the relatively timid ordinary pirates were in the middle of the formation.
Moving in this way can reduce the attack range of the bow and arrow.
Ao Jingshan responded immediately.
He waved his flag.
"The front team stands in a tight position, gather up their spears and thrust forward!"
The soldiers of the Beijing camp changed their formation.
The sword and shield soldiers formed a shield wall and a spear phalanx in the front, and the crossbowmen continued to suppress them with projectile tactics.
Li Qingcha reminded: "The enemy has short guns."
Of course Ao Jingshan knew.
He said: "The shields of the Beijing Camp are not afraid of short guns, unless they are fired at close range. Moreover, there will inevitably be casualties in battle."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of gunfire.
The Yingsang pirates and the musketeers of the Beijing camp began fire preparation and fire counter-preparation.
Li Qingcha looked over and found that the ronin in the front was obviously different from his companion beside him. He was very powerful and was waving his sword with both hands. The shadow of the sword was all white.
Xiang Nanyu frowned.
"Ninth grade!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two sides started fighting.
The sword and shield soldiers of the Beijing camp held their spears tightly in their hands, shouted loudly at the command of the small flag, and stabbed out in unison.
however,
The ideal is full,
The reality is very harsh.
Although the spear was heavy and sharp, it was made of wood after all, and was completely cut off by the ninth-rank Yingsang Ronin who rushed in front.
Afterwards, the Yingsang wanderer did not rush to continue attacking, but retreated to the rear.
The Pirates changed their formation again.
Suddenly, the two sides of the long tongue array spread out like the wings of a flying bird.
This is the Crane Wing Formation which is more suitable for battle.
Xiang Nanyu said: "I'll go."
The opponent was only of the ninth rank, and she was confident that she could defeat him in the chaos within a few breaths.
However, Li Qingcha shook his head.
"No need."
She turned to Ao Jingshan,
"There's no need to consider the cost when fighting now, right? Let the archers and musketeers continue to suppress the enemy, and I'll go command the Young Phoenix Camp."
Ao Jingshan knew what Li Qingcha was going to use.
He nodded, then ordered,
"Hold on! Fall back!"
The sword and shield soldiers began to retreat appropriately, luring the enemy closer.
Li Qingcha rode his horse to the troops of the Young Phoenix Camp and asked Mu Shi to order the troops to advance.
She ordered the girls, "Prepare the Divine Crow Fire Thunder. Delay it for three seconds. Don't throw it out all at once."
The female soldiers of the Young Phoenix Camp took out the Divine Crow Fire Thunder.
"three……"
"two……"
"one……"
"I'll throw you Rem!"
A huge explosion swept across the battlefield.
The pirates of Yingsang had seen artillery, but they were shore-based artillery or ship-based artillery, and even on their smuggling ships.
Those are big guys, and it's very difficult to move them.
In their opinion, it was impossible for the Daxia Army to mobilize field artillery so quickly.
So, what was that explosion just now?
The ninth ronin in charge of the command looked confused.
He looked around and finally saw a bunch of small rocks coming towards the pirates' position.
Then,
