    His words were quickly conveyed as military orders. More than a hundred soldiers of the Huaqiang Army ran out of the formation, took out the sabers from their waists and were about to slaughter the wounded soldiers of the Tang Army. The soldiers on the front line could finally breathe a sigh of relief.  After raising their faces, some people wanted to grab the water bottles tied around their waists to drink water and breathe slowly. After all, after experiencing the high-intensity battle just now, everyone was sweating profusely and their heartbeats were racing. This was rare.  You must seize the opportunity to rest before you can face the next wave of battle.  Suddenly, a burst of arrows flew from the side and in front, and many soldiers fell down in response to the arrows. I saw a new group of heavy infantry of the Tang Army approaching in formation with spears in their hands. They had ferocious faces and fierce eyes, and they shouted:  "Wang Laoxie will die soon, Wang Laoxie will die soon!" Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light, and he nodded: "So that's it, attack in turn!" Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully:  "Yes, just like a wheel, after one army attacks, it quickly moves sideways instead of retreating, and the other army in the horizontal direction immediately follows up and attacks the front instead of the flanks. In this way, their rotation attack speed is faster than ordinary  It is much faster to retreat up and down, so our army will not get a chance to breathe at all." Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and stared motionlessly at the two phalanxes that were already fighting in front. This time, the Tang army rushed up with fresh troops.  , full of physical strength, and the first two phalanxes of Huaqiang Army had been fighting for about a moment, and they were piercing quickly with high intensity without interruption. Now they fought again, and it was obvious that the frequency and speed of piercing were far less than just now. The enemy's attack  After three soldiers were out, we could only fight back twice. Soon, our casualties exceeded those of the Tang army on the opposite side. People in the first row of soldiers kept falling, and nearly one-third of them had already  Lost the ability to fight, either dead or injured.  Wang Shichong said loudly: "Quick, the archers in the second formation behind will step forward fifty steps and be covered by the rain of arrows." Wei Zhengqi said: "My lord, isn't it true that each team is not allowed to rescue each other? If the archers move like this, will it be okay?"  Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "There is no way. Seeing that the first formation is almost unable to withstand it, if the front army collapses, the formation behind will be overwhelmed even if they don't move. Two thousand archers each will come forward to cover.  The infantrymen in the formation alternately cover and retreat, using the retreat distance to delay the Tang army's attack!" Li Shimin's eyes were bright, watching the front line gradually moving forward, and bursts of arrows rose into the sky, pouring on the two sides fighting!  In this space, the distance between the two armies of more than ten steps was filled with feather arrows. For a moment, the two vanguard formations of Huaqiang Army were slowly retreating step by step. If the Tang Army wanted to attack forward, they would rush forward.  Many sergeants were shot down by the feather arrows. Many feather arrows even flew from the rear of our side and hit some soldiers in the back. As a result, our side's follow-up speed was slightly slower, almost making the front row soldiers slow down.  The soldiers could only watch as the distance between the enemy and themselves grew wider and wider.  Hou Junji sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity. The enemy's physical strength is almost exhausted. We can defeat them with just one more force. But we can provide cover for the archers in the rear so that they can continue to retreat."  , Your Majesty, please give the order to dispatch cavalry to attack. We will definitely break up their formation!" Li Shimin shook his head: "No, no need. The enemy troops retreated. Although they basically kept their formation, they retreated!  After more than a hundred steps, the order was sent to continue the rotation. The crossbowmen of the third formation took the lead and shot at the enemy in a straight line. They obviously wanted to replace the first formation with the two teams of the second formation. Once the enemy  At the moment when the army changed formations, all the archers threw away their crossbows and rushed forward with swords and axes, fighting fiercely with them!" Wang Shichong frowned, watching the opponent's third rotation.  A large number of Tang Army archers have moved to the front row, facing Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng at the front of the Huaqiang Army who are still slowly retreating and almost crossing the second formation in the rear.  The Huaqiang Army soldiers filled with arrows fell down in response to the arrows. Almost every time they retreated, many corpses were left behind.  Wang Shichong nodded: "The enemy's third formation replaced the archers. They must have wanted to take advantage of our army's change of formations to come forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat. He sent an order to the first formation to stop where it was and use a large shield to form a shield wall to guard the front.  The mid-range crossbowmen stepped forward to shoot with the enemy, and hold the position firmly for me!" Wei Zheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, we have been fighting in the front for more than half an hour, and our first line has suffered more than one-third casualties.  The momentum has weakened, and I'm afraid I can't withstand it any longer. It's better to find a way to cover their rest, otherwise, I'm afraid they will collapse in response to such an attack by the enemy." Wang Shichong said with an expressionless face: "We can't change now, or we will die.  They must stay on top of their original position. As soon as they move, the enemy troops will cover them up. Let the archers of the second formation enter the front formation in batches to reinforce them, and gradually add more fuel. None of the infantry on the front line is allowed to move. If they turn their heads,  Reviewer, if the rear team kills the front team, even if you die, you have to die in a defensive position!" Shen Guang gritted his teeth: "Commander, it really depends on the brothers."?Are they falling down one by one like this?  Please order us to make a counterattack. The enemy troops are just archers. As long as we use cavalry to attack, we will definitely defeat them. When the time comes, we will cover the rotation of the soldiers in front and reorganize their formations!  " Wang Shichong said coldly: "It's easy to attack, but how to withdraw?  The number of cavalry of the Tang Army exceeds ours. If their archers are divided, the rear cavalry can stick to them. We have no space and distance for the cavalry to attack. Once we stick, we will not be able to retreat even if we want to. For the thousands of people in front of the army,  Man, how foolish it is to lose our cavalry!  " Having said this, Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light: "Ci Bu will not lead the troops, I have made up my mind to execute the military order!  " Wei Zheng shook his head and blew the horn in his hand. Wang Shichong sighed softly, looked far south, and murmured: "Is it too late?  " Li Shimin looked at the battle ahead with an expressionless face. The front line of Huaqiang's army had formed a shield wall several miles wide, filled with Tang army's bows and arrows, and from time to time there were bursts of arrows from behind the shield wall.  The rain rose and sprinkled on the array of Tang Army archers. People kept falling down screaming after being hit by arrows. For a moment, arrows were flying in the air, and even the sunlight was dimmed. Li Shimin curled his lips: "  Wang Laoxie really wanted to die rather than retreat or change formations. He just wanted to waste time, pass orders, and continue to rotate. The third formation moved sideways this time and then went around to the side of the enemy's front formation to attack me.  On the flank of the enemy's formation, the fourth formation turned around and rushed into the enemy's line with its soldiers. This time, I completely defeated the enemy's front army!  General Hou, General Duan, take command personally!  " Having said this, Li Shimin turned his head and looked in the direction of Luoyang Nancheng behind him, with a flash of light in his eyes: "Is it still too late?  "
