Qu Yi's counterattack was dominated by the Chinese army, supplemented by the two wings. With the rapid advance of the Chinese army, the initial flying geese formation was reversed and turned into a classic offensive formation, a huge front arrow.
The reaction of the Youzhou Army also verified his initial judgment. The Youzhou Army did not intend to engage in close combat. Facing the counterattack of the Jizhou Army, thousands of light cavalry fought and retreated, like sea water at ebb tide, forming a large
They retreated to both sides, leaving the center of the battlefield free.
It seemed that the counterattack was going smoothly, but Qu Yi didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, he felt strong uneasiness.
The Youzhou Qingqi were not forced to retreat, but simply changed their tactics according to a predetermined plan. Opposite the gap left by the Qingqi, an elite group of high-spirited warriors was approaching with a violent momentum!
Obviously, this is Wang Yu's real trump card.
If anyone could look down from a high altitude, they would be surprised to find that if you ignore the Youzhou Qingqi, the formations of the two armies at this moment are exactly the same.
There is a sharp arrow in front, and the back formation is separated from the forward by a certain distance. Once the forward comes in contact, a huge hourglass will be constructed.
Although Qu Yi could not fly to the sky to observe the battle, his years of combat experience were not in vain. He quickly simulated the battlefield situation in his mind, deduced it, and quickly came to a conclusion.
The key point now is the battle situation after the forward engagement.
For the Qingzhou side, as long as it can withstand the offensive of the Jizhou Army, the cavalry on both wings can continue to play its role and still firmly grasp the initiative in the battle situation.
If we can go one step further, defeat the forward of the Jizhou Army and roll back directly, we can cooperate with Youzhou Qingqi to completely defeat the Jizhou Army. If the situation really evolves like that, let alone Qu Yi, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, he will not be able to defeat the Jizhou Army.
It may save Jizhou from a tragic defeat.
However, will he let the enemy get what he wants? A cold light flashed in Qu Yi's eyes, revealing a sneer.
The forward of the Qingzhou Army is Xu Huang and his bodyguards. During the Battle of Yangren, this army had established a great reputation. But Quyi's side is not weak either. His bodyguards also have more than 200 people in the forward position.
, In addition, the soldiers in the vanguard are also veterans. After more than a month of training, their combat effectiveness is not bad.
The ranking between strong and weak has not yet been determined!
"We should win, right?" Chunyu Qiong, who was watching from the back, was more optimistic than Qu Yi. In addition to his subjective expectations, he also saw the superiority in the military appearance of both sides.
The forwards of the Jizhou army advanced despite the rain of arrows, but still maintained an orderly queue; while the Qingzhou infantry, although high in fighting spirit and undisturbed, had many incomplete places in the queue, as if a piece of it had been
The wooden boards that had been smashed randomly had many holes and unevenness on the flat surface.
"We shouldn't lose." Seeing that Youzhou Qingqi did not charge into the formation, but instead moved away, Feng Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.
The distance on the battlefield has been compressed to this point, and there is no longer enough distance for the light cavalry to accelerate and charge into the formation. Cavalry shooting alone should not be able to defeat the front army in a short time. The outcome depends on the infantry of the two armies.
It's a duel.
If the infantry battle is won, although the opponent's cavalry is still unable to be defeated and a complete victory cannot be achieved, at least it is a victory and you can go back to deliver your mission without having to worry about being pursued by the enemy while taking advantage of the victory.
If he loses... Feng Ji feels a chill in his heart. He can't even think about the consequences.
Although Jizhou has strong soldiers and horses, and is very wealthy, the army cannot be conjured out of thin air. Although Jizhou has more soldiers and horses now than before the Battle of Jieqiao, the proportion of veterans has dropped greatly. If this battle is really defeated, what is left in Jizhou
Whether the army is sufficient to protect itself is a question.
Under Youzhou Qingqi's cavalry and shooting tactics, recruiting new soldiers by force is just a piece of cake, no matter how many there are, it will be useless.
Therefore, Feng Ji really put aside all his prejudices at this time, and sincerely hoped that even if Qu Yi could not win, he would not lose. In the infantry duel, Qu Yi should not fall behind. After all, he has more troops.
, the front army alone numbered more than 10,000, while the enemy opposite only numbered 5,000.
Carrying the expectations of countless people, the two powerful armies finally collided together.
In an instant, all the sounds on the battlefield seemed to have suddenly disappeared, the roar of galloping horses, the roars of soldiers on both sides, the neighing of arrows, the passionate drums, the desolate horns...all disappeared.
Returned to silence.
In the depths of everyone's consciousness, there was only the sound of impact, as the huge gun hit the huge rocks, making a deafening sound.
"Boom!" The axe, axe, and heavy sword were swung into a huge arc, carrying the fierce momentum of the attack, and hit the opposite shield heavily.
As soon as they made contact, the Jifeng Battalion burst out with astonishing fighting power. With half the number of their opponents, they actually charged into the Jizhou Army's square formation. There were countless flaws in their formation, but at this time, those flaws
But it's like a steel file with teeth.
As soon as the file was applied, a thick layer of the Jizhou Army's array was removed.
The giant shields used in the military are quite strong, and are made of the strongest birch and other hardwoods. They have a very strong ability to withstand blows. However, no matter how strong they are, their ability to withstand is limited. If they are hit too frequently, they will be too heavy.
It is so violent that even if the shield itself can withstand it, the shield hand cannot be unharmed.
Amidst the bursts of obscure cracking sounds, the wooden shield was smashed into huge cracks. Behind the cracks was the horrified face of the shield hand, with bloodshot eyes and nose.
The wooden shield remained intact, and the shield hand was not much stronger.
The wooden shield is intact, which means that the wrestling on the shield is not that strong. Either the attacker's offensive is insufficient, or the shield hand cannot withstand the huge impact.
The former situation is rare, because the Qingzhou infantry's offensive is very coherent. The closer the soldiers are to the front, the shorter the weapons in their hands. Therefore, after entering the combat distance, the weapons of the soldiers in the front rows will be different.
Land on the same target at the same time.
Although the people who serve as shield bearers are all strong and strong, how can those chosen by Xu Huang as the vanguard be weak? Therefore, this overwhelming momentum is not surprising at all.
As soon as the gap in the shield array opened, the Jizhou Army's offensive came to an abrupt halt. With a huge collision, the formations of both the enemy and ours instantly changed shape.
The Jizhou soldier who was charging forward screamed and fell down. In disbelief, he saw the enemy's sword and ax being pulled out of his body and striking his companions with a bloody light. Then, he heard the screams of his companions,
He saw his companion's body lying next to him.
At this time, the spearmen behind the shield finally reacted. They raised the spears in their hands and thrust them out with all their strength, as if they were angry from embarrassment.
Although they did not lower their heads to look, they felt like a light on their backs, which was the gaze of their fallen comrades. In the previous arrow battle, the shield hand protected the comrades behind them; however, in this hedging,
Among them, the spearmen failed to reach out their spears in time to protect their comrades in front of them.
In fact, it wasn't that they were unprepared, it was just that they didn't expect that the zigzag-looking formation on the opposite side would be so fast and violent once it started!
"Everything is invincible!" The forward's smooth advance inspired the whole army, and the soaring war trumpets sounded again, urging the soldiers of the front camp to attack like a wave.
"Don't turn your heels until you die!" The Jizhou Army was not to be outdone.
To be the first to ascend originally means to be the vanguard. As long as one can be the first to ascend in a certain battle and return victoriously, it is already a supreme honor. The first to ascend the camp under Qu Yi's tent has the ability to win the battle.
The glory of being the first to ascend, how could such a warrior shrink back when encountering a powerful enemy?
The battle entered its most intense climax right from the beginning!
The soldiers faced each other and squeezed their opponents with shields. They used swords, axes and spears to cut and stab each other in the gap between shields and arms. Some people kept screaming and falling, but the formations on both sides refused to take a step back. The living people
They stepped on the corpses of their companions and waved their swords and spears staggeringly. The injured people cried out loudly, but they couldn't pray for any mercy.
The soldiers in the front row were all quickly wiped out, but the soldiers in the back row rushed forward desperately. People were pushing and squeezing each other, and blood was flying everywhere!
Because there was no queue to drag them down, the momentum of the urging battalion was stronger. Taking advantage of this advantage, they pushed forward hard, trying to knock back the momentum of the Jizhou Army.
The Jizhou Army relied on its numerical advantage, and elite troops continued to gather from the two wings into the central army, filling the meat grinding ground at the tip of the front. The stalemate was short but long, cruel and bloody, and countless lives returned to the embrace of the earth at this moment.
, countless souls fly high into the sky, looking down at their bodies with nostalgia in the wind, with no hatred, only deep yearning for the human world.
The wind was blowing, the water was rustling, and under the bright sunshine, blood was blooming, spreading all over the earth and dyeing the river red.
In just a few breaths, multiple casualties occurred, but this was just the beginning.
Qu Yi had a high opinion of the powerful enemy in front of him, but he never expected that he would underestimate the enemy after all. The formation of the Ji Feng Battalion was not designed to fight a protracted war. Their only goal was to use the best possible force.
The powerful force tore a gap in the enemy's array.
From a certain point of view, the style of the urging camp is indeed very similar to that of the first ascending camp. Because this army is purely set up for attack, when it launches a fierce attack, the offensive is more fierce than that of the first ascending camp.
Even if the spearmen responded in time, the shield array could not withstand such an onslaught, because the 500 heavy armors led by Xu Huang were in the front row. The sophisticated iron armor tightly protected the vital points of the armor, even the spears
, it is also difficult to assassinate the enemy in one encounter. When the heavy armored infantry breaks through the shield formation and rushes in, the spearmen will be beyond the reach of the spearmen.
This swarm-like attack strategy, if applied to the entire army, should be said to be a failure. Under Qu Yi's strict command, even if a gap is opened in part of the front, it will not affect the entire front for a while, and Qu Yi can calmly repair it.
Formation. When the enemy's energy is exhausted, it's time to gather together and annihilate them.
This is why, during the Battle of Yangren, Wang Yu kept Xu Huang's troops until the last moment.
However, the current Longzuo battlefield is very suitable for Xu Huang's troops. Youzhou Qingqi is blocking the two wings, and the 500 armored soldiers are enough to cover the front of the Chinese army's front. The 500 heavy armors are at the forefront, followed by the axes and axes.
The hands can give full play to their powerful attack power.
So, after what seemed like a long but actually brief stalemate, the Jiefeng Battalion gained the upper hand.
"Drive straight in, invincible!" The soldiers of the Jiefeng camp were like trackers on both sides of the river. Every time they took a step forward, they shouted a neat chant. And the war cry was like a magic spell. These two short sentences made countless people
His eyes were blood red and he was afraid of death.
Xiandengying also did this before. Countless brothers shouted like this, destroying powerful enemies one after another with risking their lives and fighting hard.
But at this moment, similar opponents only made Qu Yi shudder.
If possible, he would like to go back in time to two months ago. At that time, his first camp was still intact and all his old brothers were there. No matter how strong the enemy was, they could not break the strong front of the dead soldiers.
But now, his first camp is no longer complete, and dispersing the old brothers among the army is a huge failure. Although the old brothers are ready to die and have superb fighting skills, the people around them may not be able to cooperate.
Qu Yi watched helplessly as an old brother in the front row shouted an unyielding war cry, waved his sword and shouted, squeezed in between several Qingzhou soldiers, and slashed and stabbed the ax quickly.
He was bleeding profusely. Before the blood flowed out and his strength was exhausted, he made it impossible to pull out or withdraw at least five weapons.
"The battle must be fought first!" A soldier who fell on the ground shouted hoarsely, rolled down the terrain, and hugged the calf of a Qingzhou soldier. The two rolled in a pool of blood, fighting, using knives, knees, and teeth.
, until several spears protruding from the enemy's rear row pierced his heart.
If they were fighting side by side with their former comrades, someone would definitely seize this opportunity and, with the blood of their comrades, kill the enemies whose weapons were locked and the enemies whose formations were disrupted by wounded soldiers.
Even if you can't kill more enemies, you can at least exchange one life for another and make the enemy pay the same price.
However, the people around them at this moment are all new faces who have been with each other for less than two months. The new comrades neither have enough tacit understanding to seize the opportunity created by the sacrifices of the first dead soldiers with their lives, nor do they have enough courage to watch.
After seeing the tragic situation of his colleagues, he was still able to fight without giving up.
All the blood was shed in vain.
Qu Yi's eyes were split with tears, but he was helpless, and his heart was bleeding.
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
This battle was fought too hastily. After the Battle of Jieqiao, Jizhou's top officials had been desperately bragging that they had won a great victory. The powerful public opinion system had such a strong effect that even Yuan Shao himself was deceived.
Others don't know, but Qu Yi remembers very clearly how embarrassed Yuan Shao looked after he repelled Wang Yu's surprise attack that day. Until he walked up to the other party and told him that he was safe, his well-maintained face still remained.
There was no trace of blood, but the body no longer trembled.
As a result, after being praised by all his staff for a month, Yuan Shao regained his arrogance and became proud again.
According to Qu Yi's idea, the offensive on the plains can be postponed until winter. By then, Qingzhou's autumn grain will have been stored in the warehouse, but Jizhou's harvest will only be greater, and more manpower can be mobilized to join the offensive during the slack time.
.More importantly, with half a year of training, he can improve the combat effectiveness of his troops to a considerable level.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao had no intention of adopting Qu Yi's opinion. At that time, the second-generation official who was the number one official in the world was so complacent that he only had the great idea of pacifying Qingzhou in his heart and could not listen to other opinions at all.
In fact, had Yuan Shao not been in a good mood, Qu Yi's advice or obstruction alone would have been enough to erase his previous military exploits.
In the end, Qu Yi could only rush into the attack with this poorly trained army, half of which were new soldiers, and fell into the current predicament, a dilemma.
"Brothers, kill!" Xu Huang brandished a big ax and rushed to the front line.
Sweeping, smashing vertically, and stabbing diagonally, he looked like a crazy tiger. All the Jizhou troops standing in front of him were invincible, and a gap was quickly created in the military formation. Countless Qingzhou troops squeezed in along the gap, widening the gap in the Jizhou military formation.
The bigger.
His martial arts skills were so high that even if a few dead soldiers risked their lives to stop him, the effect would be insignificant. When the ax was opened and closed, and when his hands and feet were swung, pieces of blood burst out around him, and no one could get close to him.
Under Xu Huang's assault, the Jizhou Army's defense line became increasingly shaky.
To deal with such a fierce general, the best way is to besiege. But Xu Huang is not fighting alone. Although the number of Jifeng battalion is smaller than that of the Jizhou army, on the local battlefield, the momentum is much stronger than that of the Jizhou army. In Xu
Behind him, countless Qingzhou soldiers were rushing forward. How could the Jizhou army find a chance to lay siege?
Sneak attacks with bows and crossbows are also a way, but Xu Huang's martial arts is a big problem. Without a sharp archer, it is difficult to plot against him. If you want to save up your shots, the crossbowmen of the brigade are still in the rear.
The most direct way is to find a strong general who is equally skilled in martial arts to fight tit for tat. However, although there are many strong generals in Jizhou, not many are willing to work under Qu Yi. They are not optimistic about Qu Yi's future, so naturally they are unwilling to bend over.
Of course, Qu Yi can also go into battle by himself, but in that case, all the personal guards around him will have to follow. Qu Yi himself is not afraid of death, but he can throw all his brothers into a desperate battle.
He can't do this kind of thing no matter what.
"Blow the trumpet..." After an unknown amount of time, under the anxious and worried eyes of the guards, Qu Yi came to his senses and softly uttered two words.
Looking at their general's firm eyes, the guards realized something, and they held their weapons tightly. In every battle, Wang Pengju was the first to take the lead, and his own general was also such a brave general!
However, the next moment, they listened to an order that made them almost not believe their ears.
"Pass my general's order to withdraw our troops!"
"General?" The guards' eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
"Didn't you hear? You haven't given the order yet!" Qu Yi was furious.
"But..." The guards wanted to remind their generals how important this battle is! Moreover, with Youzhou Qingqi here, the difference between voluntarily retreating and being defeated by the enemy will not be very big. In both cases, the entire army will be destroyed.
An end. And...
There were so many reasons like this, so many that they had no time to say them, and they couldn't finish them, and they all ended up being reflected in their surprised eyes.
"The order to withdraw troops..." Qu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile that was uglier than crying: "It was conveyed to the rear army."
"..." The guards felt a pang of anger in their chests and could not say anything.
Regardless of the soldiers or generals in the rear army, they are all a bunch of cowards who can only hold back the enemy.
If those celebrities hadn't said that the paper armor was worthless, everyone wouldn't have gone straight to the battlefield without knowing the specific situation. When the general wanted to counterattack, these people were also pestering him, but he refused to agree.
, everyone seems to have forgotten who made winning the war so easy and comfortable before the war.
The general launched a counterattack with less than half of his troops, but those people waited behind with more troops and refused to even come closer to use their bows and crossbows to cover... In the end, they actually asked his own people to cut off their rear!
Are sons of aristocratic families and famous people more valuable than others?
"Those crossbows..." Qu Yi's voice sounded extremely tired, but he seemed a little relaxed as if he had put down some heavy burden: "If it is captured by the Qingzhou Army, Jizhou will be finished, so don't waste any more time.
Give the order!"
The guards suddenly realized this and felt even more sad and angry, but they no longer resisted Qu Yi's general order.
Everyone has staked their fortunes and lives on Yuan Shao. Either fight for wealth or die together without a burial place. There is no other way, so...
