When the Soviet lines on the left and right flanks met the enemy, it didn't take long for the merchant army on the opposite side to sort out the chaotic military formation.
They were forced to fight without proper formation.
Fortunately, the infantry of the Third Chaoge Division are basically combat warriors who belong to the short-hand type.
Their dependence on formation is much less than that of the long-handled weapon type.
In addition, they are already elite soldiers.
Therefore, it did not cause such catastrophic consequences as a total collapse.
The soldiers of Gange supported Yangge and fought with the enemy troops they could come into contact with.
With a "pop" sound, a soldier's big sword split open the chest of a Yousu soldier.
The opponent was too weak.
He had no armor, and his weapons were rudimentary, holding only a bronze long sword.
But then he slashed his head with Chang Ge, and the soldier calmly raised the shield in his left hand above his head.
Then he felt as if his heart was being pinched, and his eyes darkened before he left this world.
A bronze sword split open the armor on his left chest and cut into his body.
Although Su's armor was crude, he could still kill the scattered soldiers blocking the road one by one by relying on the power of the dense formation.
At this time, the archers who were arranged in three rows have been squeezed into one row.
This naturally improves the safety factor of each long archer and the power of intensive attacks, but it also makes it impossible for the archers in the back row to withstand the attack like in the middle formation.
Close shot.
But these archers on the left and right wings were not idle either.
They were given a new task: to guard the gaps between the left, center and right formations.
If any enemy soldiers penetrated from here, they would be killed.
At this time, there was a gap of about thirty meters between the left and right wings and the center formation.
After all, Dashang's three divisions on the left, center and right were elite.
Even if the situation was unfavorable, every soldier who engaged in the battle still fought to the death, causing Yousu's front to advance slowly.
The Shang soldiers behind the battle line did not need to give orders to the guards at this time.
They all consciously rushed forward to fight in front of Yousu's formation.
If this trend continued, the Shang soldiers would be able to spontaneously fight after a while.
Form a military formation.
Suddenly, a group of warriors holding three-foot shields and wielding heavy bronze swords crossed through the Soviet line from the junction of the left, center and right, and charged deep into the left and right wings of the Shang side.
Their armor looks even more sophisticated than Di Xin's personal guards.
These are exactly the Huben shield guards that Hua put on both wings as a reserve force.
For the merchants, the situation on the left and right has taken a turn for the worse.
The Gange warriors scattered behind the battle line began to besiege these shield guards.
Most of the Huben shield guards worked in pairs, back to back, blocking the east and west.
Compared with weapons such as the Ge Ji, the swords in their hands could easily penetrate between the armor pieces.
Squeeze open a gap and stab into the opponent's body Xia Yan, who had been promoted to Captain of the Hundred Soldiers, held up his shield to block the short sword that struck his left ribs.
The sword in his right hand was thrust into the opponent's abdomen.
Without waiting for the opponent's expression to change, he drew out his sword and swung it with his backhand.
Facing an enemy who was attacking him from the front right, the edge of the sword cut off the wooden handle of the short sword in the man's hand, and then the tip of the sword happened to cut the man's throat.
At this time, Xia Yan did not notice that a gun warrior behind him was thrusting a short sword over his shoulder, trying to hook his throat.
But the soldier didn't notice that Yousu's front line had been pushed behind him, and several swords struck at him.
The short sword slipped from Xia Yan's shoulder, and Xia Yan realized that Su's military formation had been pushed up, so he raised his sword and charged forward bravely.
Di Xin had never felt like this in his life.
He felt the huge oppression from the other party.
Now he did not pay attention to the precarious left and right wings, but focused on the center, which was the most likely place to break through the enemy's line.
Dashang warriors attacked the opponent's dense array of halberds one after another.

The constant deaths of the halberd soldiers tore the array into thinner and sparser parts.
And with the casualties, it is very likely that morale will collapse early without waiting until the array is so sparse that it becomes ineffective.
Di Xin hopes that this moment will come as soon as possible.
But now his own troops suffered huge casualties, and every fallen soldier made Di Xin's heart sink a little.
Archers, Archers, why don’t our Dashang Third Division have specialized archers?
He shouted in his heart.
In fact, not only the Shang side, but almost all the standing armies of the Fang country did not have specialized archers on foot, but only equipped chariots with sharp archers.
Probably because the role of ordinary archers in formation battles is only to throw a few rounds in front of the formation, there has never been a close-range shooting method like Xia Guo's.
That kind of projectile before joining the formation has almost no effect on elite soldiers like the Gangge soldiers.
Therefore, when large-scale battles are launched, tribal militiamen who are good at shooting are usually recruited to serve as archers.
The Su clan is just such a half-farmer and half-hunter tribe who are good at shooting.
This is also the reason why Suneng has been independent in the world for a long time and has not been annexed by others.
"Puff puff puff puff."
Dozens of arrows suddenly shot at the guards around Di Xin.
More than twenty people were hit by the arrows.
Although their armor saved them from death on the spot, the arrows penetrated three-thirds of the flesh.
It still made them grit their teeth and crack their mouths in pain.
An arrow was hitting the crossbar of Di Xin's chariot.
The buzzing and trembling arrow shaft made Di Xin frightened.
He was not afraid that someone was shooting at him, but that these arrows were fired from behind him. .
He turned around and saw the most incredible scene in his life, dozens of warriors riding big horses with bows and arrows forty meters behind him.
Another round of arrows came, and another group of guards were hit by arrows.
An arrow whizzed past his head, making him shrink his head unconsciously in fright.
Without waiting for Di Xin's order, half of the bodyguards around him had already rushed out to kill the enemies who were fighting on horseback.
The mounted warriors took their time and fired another round of shots at the running guards, each with one or two more arrows on their body.
When the guards were getting closer, the riders rode their horses to stop after a few battles.
How could two legs catch up with four, not to mention most of the two legs were injured.
When these horse-riding warriors "pulling kites" saw that their pursuers had been dragged all the way, they rode their horses back along the original road and stepped forward to kill the lone men one by one with carbines.
Then he returned to the distance of 40 meters in front of Emperor Xing and fired arrows at Emperor Xin and his guards again.
Di Xin was angry, this was a humiliation.
Ignoring the dissuasion of his personal guards, he ordered his driver to pursue him in a car.
He wanted to see whether his twenty-four legs were faster or those of the horsemen's four legs.
Di Xin's chariot galloped out to pursue these budding cavalry, but the soldiers on both sides who were fighting on the battlefield thought that he had run away.
At this time, the Shang soldiers on the left and right wings and the Xia halberd militia in the center were on the verge of collapse.
As the soldiers of Su Xia Fang shouted, "King Shang Fang has run away, King Shang Fang has run away."
The merchant armies on the left and right wings collapsed first, and then the fighting warriors of the central army fled backward.
At this time, the Soviet-Xialian forces no longer maintained their formation, and the drum beat changed.
This was the order for all troops to charge.
All soldiers rushed forward to pursue the defeated enemy.
Di Xin's six-horse chariot is naturally faster than the Germinal Cavalry, but a lion cannot defeat a pack of wolves.
Di Xin locked his target and chased one of them, and the other riders gathered together, turned their horses' heads, ran parallel to the chariot, and shot sharp arrows at the draft horses.
While running, their archery skills were not precise, but a few of the dozens of arrows could always hit.
When two of the draft horses were shot and killed, the chariot slowed down.
A chariot without speed was a turtle in a jar for these riders.
Soon the driver was also killed by an arrow.

Di Xin's chariot finally overturned and fell to the ground.
He was thrown out hard, and the halberd in his hand flew away.
All the riders swarmed up and dismounted to catch him:
