Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 65: The Battle Between the Two Armies
It is obvious that the training of this personal army is not as well-trained as Zhang Miao thought.

There is nothing we can do about it.

After all, these personal soldiers were not trained by him personally.

The personal army commander Zhang Tao appointed by him can only be said to be of the same ilk as him.

You can't expect a general who focuses most of his energy on flattery to also train his troops well.

Just like you can’t expect an official who has risen to power by flattering his reputation and taking the path of a celebrity to really care about the suffering of the people and to govern the army and keep the people safe.

Every profession has its own expertise, and this major is not suitable for him!

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Tao was completely unaware that the situation of his own army was not good.

On the contrary, he looked at Ji Qiu's troops who were marching out of the barracks in an orderly and swift manner and had also lined up, and a grim smile appeared on his face.

"This is truly a great gift from God!"

"God knew I couldn't find any military merit in Yanzhou, so he sent Ji Qiu to me on purpose."

"As long as Ji Qiu's troops can be eliminated, my brother will be promoted."

"And if my brother gets promoted, I will naturally rise to prominence as well!"

Zhang Tao thought happily in his heart, and then suddenly shouted: "Dragon Fang!"

The roar was so powerful that it sounded like thunder exploding on the ground. The rolling sound waves spread out in all directions, startling the birds in the nearby trees and making them flap their wings and fly high.

Then a mysterious aura filled the air. The aura seemed to be substantial, entwining around Zhang Tao and gradually condensing into an illusory golden dragon shadow.

The dragon's shadow was looming, circling and dancing, emitting an ancient and powerful pressure.

After about ten breaths, the dragon shadow disappeared.

But at this moment, the spears of all the personal soldiers were shining brightly.

A faint golden halo appeared above the gun blade, and the halo flowed like flowing golden water.

The tip of the gun, which was originally flashing with cold light, now became even sharper, as if it could easily cut through the void.

Looking closely, the edge of the gun blade became thinner than a cicada's wing, yet it exuded an indestructible texture. With a slight swing, the air made a hissing sound.

This is the Zhang family's secret technique, Dragon Tooth!
This secret technique can greatly increase the sharpness of the weapons of the soldiers under your command.

Especially the improvement effect on spears is the best.

An ordinary spear blessed with the secret technique of dragon teeth is like a real dragon tooth, and can easily pierce the defense of dragon armor.

It is equivalent to upgrading ordinary weapons into dragon weapons out of thin air!
It is by relying on this skill that the Zhang family was able to gain a foothold in the world and become a prominent family!

"Charge!" Zhang Tao shouted.

So the five thousand personal soldiers obeyed the order and charged towards Ji Qiu's army formation not far away!

……

On Ji Qiu's side, just as previously arranged, Gao Shun was still leading the troops on the front battlefield.

Compared to Gao Shun who presided over the front line of the Battle of Wuming Valley a few days ago, Gao Shun today is undoubtedly more mature.

The military orders were issued one by one in an orderly manner without any chaos.

And the army under his command has become stronger.

Strength comes from three aspects.

First, it is the experience of the Battle of Wuming Valley. A strong army is not trained, but fought.

This is no empty statement.

The battlefield experience and mental changes that a great battle brings to soldiers can enhance their combat effectiveness to a level higher than even the secret technique of strengthening the army.

Especially before participating in the Battle of Nameless Valley, most of them were new recruits.

Then this kind of growth potential is even greater. Secondly, their equipment has been upgraded.

The main reason is that Ji Qiu equipped all the sergeants in the army with modern individual combat systems, which allows Gao Shun's orders to be directly transmitted to the sergeant level.

This greatly enhanced the effectiveness of military command and information communication.

Third, they have new secret military formations.

It was the secret book of square formations that the Embroidered Uniform Guards sent over after the Battle of Wuming Valley.

The formation-type secret arts are the ones that require the least innate resources among the six types of secret arts.

Except for a few formation-type secret arts with special effects, the vast majority of formation-type secret arts do not require any innate resources.

This secret art of square formation is naturally no exception.

In addition, the phalanx secret technique is one of the most suitable military formation secret techniques for spear infantry.

So after Ji Qiu obtained the secret technique of the square formation, he immediately handed it over to Gao Shun and Wei Yan, asking them to use it to train their own troops.

Although only a few days have passed, it is still far from being mastered.

But there are some results!

However, the improvement in the troops' combat effectiveness was not the main reason why Gao Shun was confident of victory.

The main reason is that the enemy's combat effectiveness has decreased!
That's right, in Gao Shun's eyes, the combined combat power of the 5,000 Zhang Miao's personal troops was not as strong as the 2,000 exhausted Xiliang cavalrymen in the nameless valley a few days ago.

Whether it is the leading generals or the military training level, they are far inferior!

The only two advantages of Zhang Miao's 5,000 personal troops are their equipment and the individual strength of the soldiers.

Of course, these are also two very important advantages.

However, these two advantages are difficult to play a decisive role in large-scale military battles!
"So this battle... is really a bit boring!" Gao Shun sighed lightly.

Then he turned on the microphone on his headset and gave the first military order in a deep voice: "Iron Wall!"

Fifteen hundred halberd warriors skillfully formed the Iron Wall Army Formation.

They stood in eight rows.

The soldiers in the odd rows knelt on one knee and slammed the twelve-foot-long halberds in their hands into the ground, with the blades pointing diagonally forward, forming a steel defense line that gleamed with cold light.

The soldiers in the even-numbered rows half-crouched behind them, placing their halberds on the halberd poles of the soldiers in the front row, stacking them up layer upon layer, airtight, like a curled-up steel hedgehog.

As they took their positions, a golden light rose from beneath their feet, gradually converging and interweaving, eventually forming a layer of golden light curtain that was as thin as a cicada's wing but extremely tough, firmly protecting the entire army formation.

The moment when the iron wall light curtain rose happened to be the moment when Zhang Miao's five thousand personal soldiers rushed in front of them.

The timing was just right, giving Zhang Miao's personal army no chance to react.

Zhang Miao's personal soldiers were caught off guard and all crashed into the iron wall of light!

The first two rows of Zhang Miao's personal army, those most elite soldiers, were almost all knocked to the ground with broken bones and tendons!
The entire army fell into chaos.

But it's not over yet.

Immediately after the two sides collided, Gao Shun issued a second military order in a deep voice: "Pierce!"

An invisible force quickly spread out from Gao Shun, covering all the halberd warriors.

A layer of faint blue light surrounded all the halberd warriors, and the halberds in their hands also underwent amazing changes.

A cold star-like light flickered on the halberd blade, and fine runes emerged, as if given life.

The halberd trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound, and the air was filled with a pungent metallic smell.

"Kill!" All the halberd warriors shouted in unison and thrust their halberds forward.
