The chaos in the front continues to expand. The vehicle suspension formation is a circular formation, just like a wheel. Only in this way can this formation rotate over and over again. Now, the wheel seems to have hit a boulder, starting from the front end and disintegrating bit by bit.
, became fragmented, and debris flew everywhere.
Any experienced general would be horrified, or at least worried, if he suddenly faced such a battle situation.
The tactic of pretending to defeat is not new. It has been popular as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are countless classic battles.
It has been used so many times, and the generals are still happy with it, which shows that this tactic has its own classics; and the fact that some people have fallen into the trap of this tactic that has been used so many times also shows that there are many non-human resources involved in the implementation of this tactic.
Factors that are controllable.
But no matter what, the routine of this tactic is fixed. Anyone who is proficient in the art of war will understand this well. Fake defeat is just the beginning, and the subsequent counterattack will be fatal!
The situation has been reversed, and the crisis has turned to the party that had the upper hand just now!
This is the horror of war, but also its charm.
"What a man who cheated to lose money, Wang Pengju, he is indeed a hero!" When the crisis came, Xu Rong's expression was still calm and composed. Only his eyes that became sharper could give people a glimpse of his inner peace.
.
"General Xu, is now the time to praise the enemy? The army is in chaos. We are going to be defeated. We are going to be defeated! Wang Yu is so cunning. How could he give up? Those are gold, silver and jewels!"
Hu Zhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. This scene in front of him brought back painful memories. The reason why he was reduced from the commander of an army to the supervisor of an army was because of the incredible defeat at Hulao Pass.
.
That battle established Wang Yu's reputation as a brave warrior and firmly nailed him, Hu Zhen, to the pillar of shame.
Today, the old thing happened again. Wang Yu once again used an incredible trick. This time, it was still a big deal!
The deafening cheers of the vanguard penetrated the dust and smoke, tore apart the dark clouds, and revealed the astonished face of the sun.
The sun shone brightly, shining on the land that had just experienced a fierce battle and was soaked in blood, reflecting a dazzling light, as if the sunlight was not shining on the land, but a huge gold brick!
Hu Zhen couldn't imagine how many gold and silver treasures Wang Yu had thrown on the ground. But he knew that it was a huge wealth. If it were taken to Xiliang, it would be enough to blind the eyes of those greedy lords and commanders.
They drooled and gathered an army of tens of thousands of people!
How could he be willing to give up so much money?
How could he come up with such a weird bad move?
"Xu Rong, aren't you invincible in the world? Aren't you an unparalleled military commander? Find a way quickly, we can't lose this battle, we absolutely can't lose!" Hu Zhen screamed desperately. His shouts were heartbreaking, as if he was hungry.
Very much like a lone wolf.
Xu Rong replied calmly: "General Hu, don't worry, it's not the time to despair yet, the situation will get better."
"Will it get better? Are they waiting for the vanguard to finish picking up the treasure and reorganize the queue?" Hu Zhen was stunned and suddenly remembered something. He asked doubtfully: "Why are those people picking up things so slow? They can squat for half a day in one place.
Get up?"
"Maybe there's another trick."
Xu Rong shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know, and then changed the topic: "But no matter what, he will always fight back, otherwise he will have to use this method to escape. If he wants to escape, I can't do anything to him, but still,
His character will not back down, he will definitely fight back, and the moment he starts to fight back is the opportunity for the war situation to reverse again!"
"Will counterattack bring about a turn of events?" Hu Zhen looked confused.
Xu Rong did not explain, but directly issued an order: "General Hu, please give an order to prepare your subordinates for battle."
"Xu's subordinates?" Hu Zhen's reaction was a little slow, but he finally came to his senses: "Oh, X's subordinates are on both wings, and the enemy is setting up the Crescent Moon Formation... General Xu, what do you mean..."
"Here we come!" Xu Rong's eyes narrowed.
"Woo..."
The continuous golden sound suddenly stopped, and then like a glacier cracking and a cliff collapsing, the blaring horn suddenly sounded, and then the war drums sounded continuously again. Along with the war drums, there was the thunderous sound of horse hooves and the sound of soaring to the sky.
War cry!
"Where justice comes..." Gongsun Yue took the lead and shouted.
"Live and die together!" Two thousand Youzhou Qingqi echoed in unison, and the loud war horns soared into the sky, overwhelming all the noise on the battlefield.
"There is a lesson from the sky..." Gongsun Yue waved his finger. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Hu Zhen's speculation was completely wrong. Youyan despised life and death and valued loyalty. Since he came, he did not leave his comrades alone.
The truth of escape!
Life and death follow each other, fight to the death!
The meaning of the white horse can be learned from heaven!
"The white horse is the witness!" The war trumpet reached its peak, sweeping away all the clouds in the sky and tearing down all the rays of sunshine.
Under the sun's rays, two thousand light cavalry were launched with all their strength!
The transition between offense and defense in the Yanyue Formation starts from the flanks. It is similar to the tactics used by sword and shield soldiers. They use their shields to hold up the front, and then swing their swords to slash the enemy from the side.
Wang Yu's infantry failed to withstand Xu Rong's army in the front, but the gold and silver treasures on the ground made up for this shortcoming. Xu Rong's front army was completely scattered, and the middle army was also disintegrating. Only the rear army who was far away was
The corps and flanks still maintained their intact formation.
They were too far away, and the 30,000-strong army was spread out on the plain. It was already a huge queue. What's more, due to Wang Yu's arrangement of leading the people to fight, while protecting Wang Yu's two wings, it also further compressed the battlefield and stretched the
The distance between Xu Rong's and front troops was increased.
No matter how tempting the treasure is, it is useless to just hear it. It must be seen to be attractive enough.
Therefore, Xu Rong believed that there was still a turning point in this battle. After Bai Mayi launched a counterattack, the front army that had begun to collect treasures might not be able to restore order, but the collapsing Chinese army would begin to recover, and the farther rear army would
Will completely wake up from the shake.
After all, life is more important than treasure.
The key to the battle now is whether it can withstand the murderous intent that bursts out from the crescent of the Yanyue Formation!
Xu Rong had already prepared for this. Hu Zhen's thousands of cavalry were deployed on the flanks, corresponding to the Youzhou army.
The best way to deal with cavalry is to use cavalry to counterattack.
"General Xu has a clever plan." Hu Zhen had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Rong's arrangement.
On a battlefield like this, why do we need flanks? The cavalry under his command are all barbarians, and the flanks are already very close to the camps on both sides. The camps are filled with unarmed old, weak, women and children. Put the Hu cavalry in a place like this, and follow them.
How big a difference can there be between wolves and sheep when put together? Xu Rong also strictly ordered Hu Zhen's troops not to attack the camp without permission.
God knows how much effort Hu Zhen spent to restrain his gang of rogues.
Promising to let them have fun in Yangren City for a few days after the war, Prime Minister Dong would reward them heavily, and used Xu Rong's reputation to scare them. Finally, Hu Zhen rarely talked sense to these beasts: the civilians on both wings were poor, and they
Most of my belongings have been abandoned in Luoyang. There is no profit...
If Li Ru hadn't repeatedly told him in advance that he must abide by Xu Rong's orders before going into battle, Hu Zhen wouldn't have endured this bad breath.
But now, Hu Zhen discovered that Xu Rong was right again. He was right every time. Unfortunately, he was not from Xiliang, and he always had some weird ideas, which made the military adviser wary. The prime minister
Don't like it either.
What a pity. While admiring in his mouth, Hu Zhen sighed in his heart.
Hu Zhen got on his horse, waved his riding whip, and went to join his subordinates. At this time, he heard Xu Rong exhort him: "General Hu, remember not to pursue. Beware of fraud."
"Pursuit?" The Youzhou Army had already begun to charge. Time was running out. Hu Zhen had no time to ask more questions. He was taken away by the horse in confusion.
Pursuit? We haven’t won yet. How to pursue? Although we have more cavalry than Youzhou Army, it’s really hard to say in a fight. Hu Qi is just desperate and fierce, but the courage of Baima Yicong is no worse than that of Hu Qi, and his archery skills and coordination
Far above Hu Qi.
The outpost battles in the past few days have proven that it is a very difficult task to fight Baima Yicong on a wide battlefield. If the battlefield were not very narrow, Hu Zhen would not be able to tell whether he would have the courage to fight, let alone the necessity.
Determined to win.
However, on the other hand, if Baima Yicongzhen repeats his old tricks, this battlefield will become their grave! They will not be able to run away at all, and they will not be able to use their riding and archery skills of fighting and retreating at the same time.
"Go forward...go forward at full speed!" The cavalry under his command had already received the order and arranged their formation. Hu Zhen shook his head, put aside those questions that he couldn't figure out, and waved his sword.
"Woo..." The horn sounded, and Hu Qi screamed and urged his mount.
The enemy on the opposite side never fought head-on, which made them suffer a lot and lost many brothers of the same race. Now, they want revenge!
The two cavalrymen advanced towards each other, the sound of horse hooves overwhelmed the war drums, and the smoke raised covered the sky and the sun. The shocking sight made the Northern soldiers who were not distracted and focused on picking up treasures raise their heads.
Thousands of horses galloping!
It was like two surging waves, emitting a deafening roar between the ups and downs. Its majestic momentum and mighty power all foreshadowed how amazing the shocking power that would burst out at the moment the two armies collided.
!
"Load the arrow..." Seeing that the distance between the two sides was close to a hundred steps, Gongsun Yue straightened up on his horse and shouted loudly. The shooting range of the riding bow was between fifty and eighty steps, and the speed of the collision was too fast.
, a hundred steps is already within range.
"Raise your shield..." Hu Zhen gave a completely opposite order.
In cavalry and shooting, Hu Qi really can't defeat the white-horse Yi Cong. If it's one-on-one, the outcome may be mixed. But if an army is against an army, then Hu Qi will only be slaughtered. They don't understand loyalty and have no
Human nature is naturally unable to fight against the Youzhou Army who puts righteousness first.
Hu Zhen thought very clearly that if he couldn't win a duel, he might as well just focus on defense. He didn't believe that the Youzhou people's hand-to-hand combat abilities were incredible!
"wind!"
The whistle of the crossbow arrows tearing through the air was shrill and harsh, but the results were very few. Xiliang Hu Qi leaned his body tightly on the horse, holding his shield diagonally. The Youzhou Army's queue was quite long, so they could only use direct fire.
This method is helpless against such an enemy.
"Kill!" Hu Zhen shouted.
According to his understanding, before the battle, the Youzhou Army should still be able to fire two rounds of arrows. The damage of the two rounds of arrows is limited, and it will soon be time for the opponent to have a taste of his power. He held the shield diagonally, feeling fierce in his heart.
!
However, the expected second round of arrows never came. After waiting for a long time, Hu Zhen couldn't help but raise his head. Through the dozen rows of knights in front of him, he was shocked to see that Bai Mayi never continued to fire arrows.
, and they have completed deceleration and are turning around to retreat!
Are these guys crazy?
Is there really a pursuit?
what's going on?
Hu Zhen was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what the Youzhou people were doing. His speed had already been increased to the highest level. No matter how fast the Youzhou people turned around or how powerful their cavalry and shooting were, they still couldn't escape from the ensuing pursuit.
.The battlefield itself cannot provide them with room for detours.
However, the Youzhou people just turned around and left, as if they were not the ones who had shouted the war cry so loudly that the earth was shaking...
What should I do? Retreat the troops as Xu Rong said? Or...
"Ouch!" Before Hu Zhen could figure out the reason, Hu Qi, who was rushing to the front, started howling. The enemy ran away. If he ran away in this situation, they would definitely win!
"Kill!" Hu Qi surged forward like a tide, and the battle situation was out of Hu Zhen's control.
The next moment, he finally understood what Xu Rong's words meant and what kind of mystery the people of Youzhou were doing...
unexpectedly,
it turns out,
As if, as expected, so...
"Wang Pengju, I am your ancestor!" Hu Zhen couldn't help it anymore and roared loudly: "You use the same trick twice, do you think someone is a pig!?"
