Even from a distance, the moment the two armies collided, the only thing that echoed in my ears was the roar that resounded throughout the world.
The sound of killing, the sound of footsteps, the sound of drums and trumpets, the sound of weapons clashing, the cry of slashing with force, the sharp sound of sharp blades entering the body, blood splashing, and the screams before death... countless sounds turned into this roar.
There was no long-range weapon exchange, and the battle between the two armies entered a fierce stage from the beginning.
At the last moment of the hand-to-hand encounter, Peng Yu took advantage of the momentum of running wildly and used both feet to jump high into the air. With the inertia of forward and leaping, he smashed into the enemy's formation like a meteorite falling from the sky.
What faced him was a forest of spears. It seemed that his actions could only be described as reckless. Being stabbed into a sieve by the forest of spears was the only outcome.
However, if you turn your eyes away from him and look around and behind him, no one will think so about the courage of a general, especially a general who must rush into battle first.
Guo Taijun's vanguard was originally composed of ruthless bandits and desperadoes. The crazy actions of the general were a major stimulus to these people, and the enemy's previous actions of showing weakness aroused all their fierce banditry.
This kind of creature is inherently the most bullying and afraid of the strong.
Peng Yu's actions were imitated by the fierce soldiers. Nearly a thousand people adopted such crazy tactics. They jumped up and pounced with their swords. Guo Taijun's first wave of fierce attacks exerted extraordinary power.
This made the last moment of the battle between the two armies seem particularly brutal.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
Anyi's army moved slowly, resulting in insufficient impact, but their queues remained relatively neat. Rulin's spear array was far from as airtight as Yulin's, but its defensive power should not be underestimated.
The warriors who jumped up to attack violently hit the spear forest one after another as if they were committing suicide. Several transparent holes were stabbed in their bodies. Blood spurted from their mouths, but they still waved the knife in their hands to see what it meant, even if they couldn't cut it.
People also need to cut off a few spear shafts to support their backs
After all, the training of the Anyi army was insufficient. They did a good job in the initial attack, but their preparation for the second wave of attacks was obviously insufficient. The first wave of attacks resulted in many spears being pierced on the same corpse. If it were replaced
The soldiers of the Yulin Army will cooperate with each other in a tacit understanding, throwing the corpses out together, hitting the enemy formation like a catapult attack, blocking the subsequent enemy soldiers, and freeing the spears
However, the White Wave Army was far from reaching such a tacit understanding. Some spearmen wanted to throw away with all their strength; others were eager to kill the second wave of enemy soldiers rushing over, eager to draw their spears; and some thought of simply stabbing with the corpse.
Everyone has their own ideas and methods, and the officers don't know how to direct and coordinate everyone, so they can't form a joint force.
As a result, when the second wave of enemies swooped into the battle, most of the spears were unable to attack.
As a result, nearly twice as many casualties were incurred as before. What paid the price this time was that the previous attackers looked over from a distance and saw that the neat square formation of the Anyi army suddenly became untidy and looked like jagged teeth.
"Kill! Kill them!" There were a few exceptions among the first wave of attackers. For example, Peng Yu relied on his superb martial arts and sharp reflexes gained from countless life and death experiences. Peng Yu twisted his body in the air and avoided three enemies.
He blocked another three spears with his saber, grabbed the last one with his bare hands, and broke into the enemy's formation safely.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the sword in his hand turned into a huge fan. All the Anyi troops within this range retreated with blood, either dead or injured. A large area of space was suddenly empty around him.
More warriors broke in along this gap, followed behind Peng Yu, shouting for a fierce battle, setting off waves of blood.
When fighting long soldiers against short soldiers, the most important thing is to keep the distance and the integrity of the array. Before the battle, the Anyi army did a good job, but when the fierce battle broke out, their battle line was broken through in just one or two face-to-face encounters.
become shaky
This situation has caused many concerns
The cavalry attacked much faster than the infantry, but until the two white waves started fighting each other, the other two teams of cavalry were still slowly approaching each other. The cavalry general wanted to observe the situation and decide how to fight next.
Liu Bao, the leader of the Huns, learned the lesson from the Battle of Gaotang. After learning from the experience, he believed that if Yuan Shao's army had fought a fierce battle with the Qingzhou Army first, the Huns would have been able to respond calmly and win the final victory.
There is no regret medicine in this world, and Liu Bao has no way to go back to the past to verify his ideas. However, as a new chanyu with great ambitions and determined to restore the power of the Huns, he vowed to learn lessons from that battle and avoid all fatal consequences.
Danger leads the Huns on the road to revival
So, he has to wait and see first
As early as the fifth year of Zhongping, the Huns had dealt with the Yellow Turban Army. Liu Bao was familiar with the tactics of this army. This army relied on these three axes to fight at the beginning. Whoever had the upper hand at the beginning would win.
Easier to achieve final victory
The Qingzhou generals on the Anyi side seemed to want to play some tricks, but unfortunately they did not achieve any results. Now it is Guo Tai who has the upper hand, and Guo Tai has more soldiers and horses, and thousands of cavalry are not used. No matter how you look at this battle,
It’s Mrs. Guo who wins for sure
In this case, he can launch an attack with confidence and boldness and start the first battle of the Huns' resurgence.
Liu Bao raised his whip and pointed forward, shouting loudly: "The whole army attacks!"
"Uncle!" Liu Bao saw the chance of winning, and the Xiliang people on the other side were a little panicked, especially when they discovered that after the Huns began to speed up, Hu Feng followed Li Jue on horseback, shouting anxiously, with fear on his face
color
"Why are you panicking?" Li Jue was very dissatisfied with his nephew's lack of success and yelled loudly: "This battle has just begun. Those Huns are ignorant. They didn't understand the current situation at all, so they rushed over thinking they were righteous.
, give them a head-on blow first, and then when the situation changes, they will be honest!"
"Uncle, Bai Bo's command over there is Qingzhou's famous general Xu Shu, but the soldiers are still the same as before. Even after some training, the time is too short, and there is not much difference from the original ones. The formation was penetrated in an instant, and the Chinese army was overwhelmed.
Step by step, we retreated from this battle and..."
Seeing Li Jue's unkind expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
No matter how you look at it, there is no suspense about this battle anymore.
If the Qingzhou Army was at a disadvantage, or even the Xiliang infantry commanded by Uncle Guo, it would be hard to say what would happen next, but Bai Bo and these soldiers were just a ragtag group, could they still change their formations and counterattack?
Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? Basically all the Anyi Army can fight are here, and the only ones left are the old, weak, sick and disabled. If the Qingzhou Army comes, it is possible to reverse the situation. However, if the Qingzhou Army wants to come in large-scale reinforcements, the fastest
The only way to go is to take Hanoi. No matter how useless Zhang Yang is, it is impossible for him to be pushed down by Wang Yu without resistance, right?
What other variables could there be?
"Idiot! Can't you see this? The people lined up in front of Xu Shu are not elites, but recruits who have been practicing for a while. This man is famous in the Central Plains. He can't be an idiot. He thinks that the recruits can fight with him for many years after just practicing.
Guo Taijun in Hedong can fight against the enemy with strong soldiers, right?" Li Jue shook his head, feeling that his nephew was completely hopeless, at least in terms of military strategy, this was true.
If Hu Feng was alone, he would have waved his hand to let the other person go aside. But listening to the conversation between him and Hu Feng, there were also several nephews such as his son Li Shi and Li Jin who looked thoughtful.
He thought for a while and decided that he might as well take this opportunity to watch the nephews and nephews on demand.
These days, you still have to rely on your own relatives to succeed. There is no need for famous people or anything. After Yuan Shao was finished, the one who supported him was his son-in-law. Wasn't it his son-in-law? Cao Cao in Yanzhou also relied on his relatives to prosper.
"Ah..." Looking at his uncle, and then at the infantry formation that was undergoing a fierce battle in the distance, Hu Feng looked confused.
Li Jue explained: "It's true that Bai Bo is a rabble, and it is impossible for Xu Shu to train Bai Bo's army into a strong army like the Qingzhou Army in just over a month. However, if he knew Guo Tai's tactics in advance, and
If you train in a targeted manner, you can still achieve some results..."
"What effect?"
"Think about it carefully, whose unit the Anyi army can best fight? Who is commanding the spear formation in front now? If you still can't figure it out, don't tell me when you go out in the future.
Someone else is your uncle!"
With the last words of advice, Li Jue leapt on his horse, raised his whip, pointed his sword at the oncoming Huns cavalry, and shouted: "Give them some color and show them, hurt them, let these defeated generals know who is the soft persimmon!"
"
"Oh!" The Xiliang cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the two cavalrymen collided fiercely like two huge arrows.
The battle between cavalry and cavalry is carried out at extremely high speeds. It is more dangerous and exciting than infantry battles. Hu Feng, who has always been brave and fierce, has always enjoyed it, but today he was a little absent-minded.
After fending off the enemy cavalry's attack, he did not retaliate with a powerful slash. Instead, he kept turning his head and looking to the side. It would be very dangerous to be distracted on the battlefield, if not for the fact that there were many personal guards around him.
, thinking about pinching the soft persimmon, but kicked the iron plate, the Huns were also a little unprepared, maybe he would have died long ago
Li Shi, Li Jin and others are similar, they all look distracted.
In response to this, Li Jue, who had always been strict with his nephews and nephews, did not get angry. Instead, he ordered his cavalry to change their formation and protect all his nephews in the center of the formation, so that they could safely look at the battle formation in the distance.
"The formation has changed, it really has changed, it's the Hook Formation!" Li Jin was the first to notice and shout out
Immediately, Li Shi seemed to have discovered a new world, shouting loudly: "This is to lure the enemy! This is to lure the enemy! The Chinese army retreated, and the physical strength of Guo Taijun's soldiers was almost exhausted, and the two wings were about to launch a counterattack.
It's... it's already started, with Li Le on the left and Hu Cai on the right... Hey, no, how can there be a general named Guan in Baibo?"
"No matter who he is, he is very powerful..." Hu Feng is not smart, but his martial arts is very good, otherwise Li Jue would not always keep him by his side to teach him through words and deeds. In the past, he felt that no one in the Yellow Turban Army could be his opponent.
, but at this moment, when he saw the White Wave Army's change of formation and the warrior at the forefront of the right wing who was leading the charge, he was shaken.
The man was holding a big sword, with his head wrapped in a yellow scarf, and he opened and closed the sword widely. No opponent could block his two or three swords. Wherever he passed, he was invincible, leaving only waves of blood behind him.
So powerful that it is not like a mortal, like a god descending to earth.
Although Li Le on the other side seemed a little eclipsed, the offensive of the left wing was no worse than that of the right wing. The central army retreated, and the two wings advanced vigorously. The original phalanx was staggered like a Rubik's cube, slowly reshaped, and finally appeared in the eyes of the spectators.
, it is a tactical change that is not perfect but is successfully achieved.
"It's too bad for Guo, his vanguard and main force are separated!"
"Anyi Army...won't win just like that, right?"
"It's not even close. There are only 5,000 sharp soldiers separated, but the Anyi army may not be able to encircle and annihilate this army in time, right?"
"Don't forget, Mrs. Guo still has 7,000 cavalry that haven't been used yet!"
"That's true. It's too early for the Anyi army to win! Well, let's not worry about this for now. While the Huns' morale is loosening, give them a heavy blow first, so that we can adapt to the situation later!"
…
"Huh!" Putting down the command flag, Xu Shu wiped a cold sweat
The change of formation that shocked the generals of Xiliang seemed easy, but in fact it took him an unknown amount of effort. Even Wang Yu couldn't just organize a group of rabble into an army and become invincible.
In the first few battles when Wang Yu started his army, he mainly used the army to take advantage of the situation. It was not until the time when he sneaked into Luoyang himself, and after Yu Jin concentrated on training soldiers in Luyang for several months, that the troops under his command truly
It was a good fight, but we encountered an insurmountable mountain like Xu Rong. In the end, we used unconventional means to win.
Xu Shu brought several assistants from Hedong. Some were good at stirring up people's hearts, some were good at jungle ambush, and some were good at beheading generals and capturing flags. Ma Zhong was the most versatile one, but he knew nothing about military training. Xu Shu himself,
He doesn't have much experience in military training. After all, he has too little military experience and hasn't read many military books.
Being able to command the White Wave Army to the present level is almost the limit. However, victory is still far away. Although there is a chance of victory, it will not come on its own without doing anything.
"I have ordered Generals Li and Hu not to rush to completely cut off the connection between the front and rear armies of Guo Tai's army and to maintain the rhythm; I have ordered General Guan to attack deep into the enemy's array, find and kill Peng Yu as soon as possible, and destroy the enemy's advanced positions.
Command system: order General Han to maintain the array, order General Yang to collect the defeated troops as soon as possible, and extend the array eastward to establish a new line of defense to prepare to defend against Guo Tai's cavalry charge."
After issuing a long list of orders in one breath, Xu Shu took a breath and finally added: "Send the order to the entire army. Our army will win this battle. As long as you obey the order, you can win the final victory!" (To be continued...)
