"Boom boom..." The sound of horse hooves and footsteps rumbled.
When the Youzhou Army, with Baima Yicong as the vanguard, fully launched, these three sounds were the only ones left on the battlefield.
Compared with the majestic Flying Geese Formation of the Youzhou Army, the Xuanxiang Formation of the Jizhou Army seemed very weak. The dead silence in the formation also lost its previous unpredictable and profound meaning, and it looked more like being stunned.
So much so that all that is left is the ability to tremble.
"Lord, General Wang is raising a banner again..." Shan Jing's tone was filled with a hint of impatience as he shouted.
This prince is not an ordinary trouble. It is a good thing to come to help, and everyone appreciates it, but it is too annoying to point fingers endlessly. If you want to point fingers, why don't you go back to your Qingzhou? Why come all the way here?
Coming from Jizhou? That means the Lord is too lenient, otherwise...
"What did he say this time?" Gongsun Zan looked forward with a solemn expression.
"General Wang means that since my lord insists on a decisive battle, it is better to just attack the whole front." Shan Jing shouted while shaking his head.
If he was only half-trusting before, now his half-trust has turned into contempt. He felt that Wang Yu's previous achievements were probably obtained by luck. The young man's style is that he either doesn't gamble or gambles.
Putting all the chips in means that he is lucky and hits the mark every time, otherwise he would have died countless times.
Just like the battle situation in front of us, Baima Yicong attacked, and the army slowly pressed forward. With Baima Yicong's elite, even if they encounter a trap, they can escape unscathed, and through Baima Yicong's assault, the reality of the enemy's formation can be tested.
, and then carry out targeted attacks.
This is the right way to use troops.
Attack on all fronts now? Wouldn’t that lead to a bad war? God will decide whether to win or lose? That’s gambling, not using troops!
Yan and Shan are not so much Gongsun Zan's old subordinates as they are his old partners. There is no need for Shan Jing to finish what he said. With tacit understanding, Gongsun Zan knew what the other person meant. He sighed and said: "Peng Ju
Brother Xian is really worried..."
"Lord, how should I reply?" Shan Jing asked cautiously.
"Let him wait. If a fighter opportunity appears, I will definitely not miss it. Just answer him like this."
"No!" Shan Jing clasped his fists in response, and when he turned around, a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.
My lord's words are already a bit rude. If you continue to mess with me, you will be questioning your lord's military strategy! Needless to say, it is a situation where the two parties break up. Want to plot against my Youzhou? Humph, it's not that easy!
The flag was raised, and the left wing finally became quiet, as quiet as the Xuan Xiang formation opposite.
"Beat the drum, beat the drum, cheer for General Yan!" Shan Jing waved his arms and shouted loudly.
Youzhou cavalry, invincible in the world, defeated Yuan Shao in Jizhou, subdued Wang Yu in Qingzhou, swept Yanzhou, and dominated the world! This is the path the Lord wants to take! No matter who dares to block this road, the only outcome will be to be killed.
The cavalry was trampled to pieces!
Feeling the thoughts of his comrades, the fighting spirit in Yan Gang's eyes became even higher.
Because of the previous dispute, he deliberately moved to the front row. At this moment, he and his subordinates held up the horse's horse with one hand, then raised the other hand high and shouted loudly: "The place of justice"
to……"
"Life and death follow each other!" Yi Cong in the front row leveled his horse, while Yi Cong in the back row put away his riding bow and pulled out his sword from his waist. Thousands of sharp blades were raised high, along with the galloping white horse.
, reflecting the rising sun, sparkling!
"Heaven can teach you..."
Fifty steps, thirty steps, ten steps...the distance quickly closed, and Yan Gang's raised left hand dropped heavily!
"The white horse is the witness!" Like a shining sharp blade, three thousand righteous followers marched straight into the battle.
"Bang!" The eerie silence of Xuan Xiang's formation was finally broken.
The knights at the forefront, as if they were going to die, drove their horses straight into a row of large oars in front of Yuan Jun's formation.
This is definitely a dangerous move. Although relying on the power of the war horse, you can easily knock over the oar and the shield hand. However, at the same time, the war horse will also be injured and lose its balance. The knight on the horse may be thrown out by the war horse, or at worst.
They will fall down together with their horses. In a fierce battle, no matter what happens, the rider will always die. The only difference is whether death comes sooner or later.
However, in the face of death, the righteous followers regard it as home and are happy with it!
The shield wall broke down, and Yan Gang felt neither sadness nor joy. He had seen too much of this situation. Everyone thought that the white horse Yi Cong was a light cavalry and had no ability to attack difficulties. In fact, that was a misunderstanding. As long as he had enough courage,
You can break the formation without regrets. Your ability to break the formation has nothing to do with the thickness of your armor.
"Kill!" He did not hesitate to rein his horse, and the horse jumped up in response, jumped over the overturned shield, made a gap, and took the opportunity to break in, causing chaos in the enemy's formation, driving away the defeated soldiers, and spreading the chaos.
This is the essence of cavalry in battle.
The cavalrymen who collided with the shield formation did not fall, as Yan Gang expected. After several rounds of mounted shooting, he had already seen clearly that many areas in the front of the enemy formation were filled with suspicious soldiers, especially the Chinese army, behind the shield formation.
, and a large area behind the shield formation, there was no one at all! There were only some scattered archers bluffing.
There is no doubt that in order to deal with the formation of flying geese flying on both wings, the enemy hid its main force on both wings.
During the shooting, although the troops on both wings tried their best to suppress the screams, they could still be heard sporadically. At the same time, the sound of the person hit by the arrow falling down could also be heard.
Distinguishing other sounds among the thundering hoofbeats was Yan Gang's specialty. Even the best hunter of the Xianbei people on the grassland could only lag behind in this regard.
Therefore, his tactic is not a risk, but a stroke of genius. As long as he takes advantage of the opportunity to rush in and go straight to the hinterland of the enemy's formation, he can win the battle cleanly!
Before crossing the shield formation, Yan Gang still thought so. However, the moment the horse's hoof hit the ground, the scene in front of him shocked him!
There are people behind the shield formation. Although they are still twenty or thirty steps away from the shield formation, it is completely different from the bluff Yan Gang expected. Those behind the shield formation are not sparse archers, but a group of people lined up in a dense formation.
Support the enemy!
They are all infantry, about a thousand people, all elite!
In the blink of an eye, the enemy's information quickly flashed in Yan Gang's mind.
The first two were told to him by his many years of military experience, and the latter was told by his intuition. In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happened, he took risks in his last few tests, quite close to the shield formation.
A shot carried out over a distance.
From such a distance, the arrows can definitely be shot into this infantry array.
As for whether this enemy force was brought in later. From the end of the test to the assembly and charge, it took less than a stick of incense. In such a short period of time, the enemy's general had to identify his own attack.
In order to achieve the goal, we still need to mobilize troops, and finally we need to re-arrange the formation... How is this possible?
The only explanation is that this troop was an ambush and they deliberately led themselves into it!
The enemy soldiers had branches in their mouths, so they could not make a sound; and the dense formation ensured that even if someone fell down after being hit by an arrow, they would not fall to the ground, but would only lean against their fellow soldiers.
With the support of his colleagues, he is still alive even though he is dead!
This is an elite force, specially designed to deal with himself! For a moment, Yan Gang had a clear understanding, but he did nothing.
Nothing can stop the cavalry in charging mode, not the enemy, and neither can he, the commander. His stupid behavior of reining in his horse at the last moment will only cause his brothers to collide into a ball, giving the enemy an advantage in vain.
Yan Gang is not stupid, and of course he will not do such a stupid thing. Moreover, he does not believe that an infantry of more than a thousand people can stop the invincible Youzhou Tiger Ben!
"Kill, crush them!"
"Crush them!" The soldiers of Baima Yicong are also veterans. Their judgment of the enemy may not be as detailed as Yan Gang's, but the enemy's attitude can be seen clearly. Facing Youzhou Tiger Ben, these infantrymen think they can win?
Overestimating one's own capabilities! Feeling slighted, the followers became angry and rushed forward with a roar.
"Set up the crossbow..." A cold shout came from the enemy formation, and the enemy general at the head spit out the branches in his mouth.
Before he finished speaking, the infantry in the front row had already taken action.
The first row lay down, the second row squatted, and the third row stayed still. The soldiers' movements were slightly different, but they all raised their crossbows. Their faces were calm, as if they had no consciousness at all.
At such a distance, even if you shoot the cavalry on the opposite side, you will be hit and trampled to death by the horse.
"Charge!" Yan Gang secretly screamed something bad, but when his words came to his lips, they turned into a roar urging the battle. He had no way out. No matter what was in front of him was a powerful crossbow or something else, he could only charge forward.
, break it with force!
"wind!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The crossbow arrows turned into a storm, sweeping up Yi Cong in the front row. More than a hundred bright red flowers bloomed on the bright white canvas.
The sound of sharp blades entering the body, the neighing of horses, screams of agony, shouts of killing, and crashing sounds instantly pushed the rhythm of the war to a climax!
At such a close distance, the crossbow is unstoppable. Not to mention the white-horse followers wearing light armor, even the heavy cavalry will not be spared. However, the charging cavalry is very terrifying, no matter whether the rider is killed in battle
, or the horses are injured, the huge inertia will push them to continue sprinting.
Especially those knights who were seriously injured but died of no choice but gave their last orders to their beloved horses at the moment before they died: crash into each other, and they will live and die together to clear the way for the following comrades.
!
One side is moving forward inexorably, while the other side is determined to fight to the death.
Most of the shooters who fired in the first round were submerged in the desperate charge that followed, especially the squatting group, who had no time to stand up.
However, the survivors ignored this and continued to repeat the same actions, crouching or crouching in the front row to make room for shooting by their comrades in the back row, and then fired in three rows in turn, like a violent wave or a heavy rain!
The only difference is that they spit out the branches in their mouths, shouted in unison, and sounded the war cry loudly: "Dare to advance against the mountain of swords, and the sea of fire will not retreat. In every battle, we must fight first, and we will not retreat to the death."
At this moment, he was the first to become a dead soldier and became famous in the land of Hebei! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
