Because the terrain near Juyong City was too flat and there was no place to climb up to look at it, Gongsun Zan, who was standing at the top of the city, was the first person to notice the abnormality.
There were only two things that made him strange. First, the Qingzhou Army behaved too calmly. There was no panic and uneasiness when encountering the enemy in a hurry. What it was like before Hu Qi's entire army attacked was still the same now. Even the generals and flags
The angle of the ground has not changed—it always points diagonally forward.
If the plot is revealed and backfired, even if Wang Yu and the generals are fearless and can remain calm, can each of the soldiers do the same? Obviously not.
In addition, although there is no formation, looking at it from Gongsun Zan's perspective, the Qingzhou Army's team is not completely disorganized as it seems on the surface, but has a faint pattern.
The cavalry is at the front of the team, the armored cavalry is in the middle, and the light cavalry is on the two wings. The overall formation is slightly concave, with the light cavalry on the two wings in front, and the heavy cavalry in the middle behind, like a half moon.
It doesn't matter if we only consider the marching speed of the two cavalry. Anyway, the Qingzhou army is in a marching formation, not a battle formation. It is normal for the light cavalry to carry less burden and go faster than the heavy cavalry. But if this is the case, then the heavy cavalry will
When did you wear armor?
Gongsun Zan was a veteran on the battlefield, and his understanding of cavalry was unparalleled by few in the world.
Even for light cavalry, before the battle, the horses have to rest for a period of time, slow down the marching speed, and the riders dismount and walk, which is the so-called horse power. If it is replaced by heavy cavalry, if they just run all the way from Jixian, there is no need to engage in battle.
He fell down on his own. Horses are not camels, and they have never been known for their endurance.
The Qingzhou Army slowed down for the first time after discovering the enemy. It was probably changing horses and putting on armor. In this case, they should have had time to form a team. However, they did not, but just rushed forward casually.
Gongsun Zan's understanding of Wang Yu, he believed that there must be some explanation in it.
Not only the cavalry, but the infantry behind them also had problems. Because Gongsun Zan saw the heavy armored infantry of the Deefeng Battalion.
The armor problem also exists for these heavy armored infantry, or even more serious. What is even stranger than this is that these heavy armored infantry are not arrayed as densely as usual, but are evenly distributed on both sides of the team. It's like
Two walls protecting the Chinese army.
This is also very unreasonable. If the heavy armored infantry is delayed in marching because of wearing armor, their position should be at the end of the team, or in the center of the team, not on the sides. The heavy armored infantry has a strong attack ability, and it makes sense to serve as a forward or reserve team.
, that is, there is no reason to break it up and put it on the two wings.
In fact, if you ignore the chaotic mass of infantry in the center of the Qingzhou military formation and just look at the cavalry in front and the heavily armored infantry on both sides, a picture will be drawn in your mind involuntarily - like a cow with a hair.
The crazy cow lowered its head, exposed its sharp horns, and was covered in thick iron armor. It fit right in and rushed over!
The sharp corners are its weapons!
The same goes for its body!
And the huge momentum accumulated all the way towards it has doubled the power of its weapons!
Therefore, Gongsun Zan changed the drumbeat, and his ambition to die generously subsided, replaced by expectation and excitement.
"Brother Xian, let Brother Yu see how you defeated the enemy today!"
…
"Destroy Zhao?" Wang Yu's sword eyebrows were slightly raised. Xu Huang's explanation made him very happy, "Brother Bogui really knows me. Very good, everything goes well. Send my order to the general to attack with the whole army, defeat the Hulu with one drum, and let You
Brothers in the state army, look at the capabilities of our hussars!"
"Here!" Xu Huang promised loudly, holding a big ax and striding away from the Chinese army, preparing to go to the front line to command operations.
In this battle, although Wang Yu was on the front line and sent troops in an unexpected way, he rarely listened to the generals' advice and stayed in the middle army instead of taking the lead.
Of course, from a certain point of view, the Chinese army in this battle looks more dangerous, because the Huns formed a scorpion formation, with the idea of letting the pioneers pass and attack the Chinese army first. Because Hu Qi's
The overall mobility is higher, and the Qingzhou Army seems to be unavoidable.
"Dong dong dong..."
The drummers of the Qingzhou Army also changed their drumbeats. The wind was blowing, the clouds were flying, and the iron hooves were flying on the mountain beams. Inspired by the music of breaking the formation, the Hussars were invincible with pride after forming an army, and they were filled with resentment against the barbarians for harming the Central Plains.
The anxiety that had come from standing still for days erupted at the same time, and morale instantly rose to the extreme.
"Attack! The whole army attacks!" Taishi Ci shouted loudly, and the roar was like thunder and lightning, which could still be clearly heard amidst the violent storm caused by the hooves of hundreds of thousands of horses.
"Kill! Kill Hu!" On the other side, Wei Yanyang shouted with his sword cut off.
"Kill!" The two light cavalry from the Hidden Mist Army accelerated in response. The half moon suddenly sharpened and turned into a quarter moon. Then it stretched longer and turned into a sharp steel fork! The two tips grew longer and longer.
, getting sharper and sharper, and finally broke away from the formation, like an arrow from the string, shooting at the connection between the two large pincers of the scorpion and the body!
The hand-to-hand encounter unfolded in a very strange situation in a place where the Xianbei people had never expected.
The weapons among the light riders are generally broadswords and spears, but the details are somewhat varied. This is the characteristic of the Hidden Mist Army itself. They are better at small-scale combat and focus on personal combat power.
Non-integral coordination.
However, if their opponents regard them as a ragtag group like the Hu Cavalry, they would be completely wrong. The attack power of these two cavalry is extraordinary.
Taishi Ci still used a combination of spears and halberds. The weapons were long and fast. Hu Qi's preparations were somewhat inadequate, and the scimitar he was used to was no match at all. He swept three scimitars away with one sweep of his halberd.
, with a flick of the spear in his left hand, several gun flowers bloomed together with the blood flowers.
"Kill!" The sword and halberd were combined like a violent storm. The long-lost hearty feeling returned to the body. In the blood, Taishi Ci shouted for a fierce battle, fighting vertically and horizontally. It was exciting to go through life and death in the wind and waves on the sea, but no matter what, it was exciting.
It's not as refreshing as riding a horse, crossing a spear, and traveling across the battlefield.
He made up his mind. When the battle was over, he would refuse his naval duties and return to the cavalry. Defeating the barbarians would be the beginning of the Central Plains war. As the most powerful general under his lord,
How can I be absent?
Hu Qi was not willing to let the enemy show off his power in front of him. He shouted and pounced on him without thinking about his own safety. He wanted to make a sneak attack while the enemy general swung out his long weapon and had no time to withdraw it.
However, with Taishi Ci's martial arts, there is no loophole in the outer or inner circles. He just flicked his halberd and made a horizontal move, using his war horse to close the distance between the two. The end of the halberd pole hit the opponent hard.
Chest.
The halberd is not a halberd, it has no sharp edge at the end, but Hu Qi only has leather armor on his body, which can protect him from damage such as stray arrows, but cannot protect him from hammer blows from blunt objects. Taishi Ci's strength is so amazing, when the halberd was struck down, he saw
Then Hu Qi's chest collapsed, apparently even his sternum was crushed.
With a move of his right hand, Taishi Ci pushed the dying Hu Qi off his horse. Taishi Ci swung his gun with his left hand and made a sweeping sweep. The gun he used was not Zhao Yun's gun that relies on moves to win, but a big gun with a jujube stick.
.The heavy gun barrel swept through the enemy group like a whip, and the other Huqi who rushed towards them were instantly thrown off their backs.
"Forward! Forward!" Following the gap opened by the general, the Qingqi swarmed in, raising their spears and spears at the same time, killing the unprepared Hu Qi until he cried for his father and mother.
The situation on the other side is similar. Wei Yan's martial arts is not as good-looking as Tai Shici's, but his power is astonishing. He can open and close his sword widely and cut his opponent in half with one strike!
Under the leadership of these two fierce generals, the Qingqi was as powerful as a rainbow and charged forward at high speed.
The strength of the joint force was not sufficient to begin with. According to the leader's arrangement, the scorpion-shaped formation should have been deployed like a crane-wing formation. Taking advantage of the Qingzhou Army's unsteady footing and the formation not being deployed, the Qingzhou Army quickly achieved outflanking on both wings, and then it could be fully utilized.
The military strength is superior.
If Wang Yu saw through his plan, he should have dispersed the cavalry to both wings and launched a targeted attack. Of course, even if the situation turned into that, he had other countermeasures, so there was no need to worry. But now this
The situation was unexpected by him.
He couldn't figure out what the purpose of Wang Yu's move was.
That's right, the two generals of the light cavalry are both brave generals who can defeat tens of thousands of people. One's spear and halberd are like a violent storm; the other's long sword is like lightning, killing people like hemp. The Hu cavalry at the junction can't stop these two killings.
God, he was so disturbed that he was thrown into disarray.
But what's the use?
If it was the Crane Wing Formation carefully arranged by the Han generals, if they were disturbed like this, it might lead to a lack of turnover. But Hu Qi is not a Han army, and there is no research on the formation. In the end, this scorpion-shaped formation is just a tool.
It's just a shape, not a military formation that moves like running water.
Even if they were killed and broken through by the two groups of light cavalry, the overall situation would still not change much. There were a hundred thousand tribal cavalry, and the two groups of cavalry together did not even have a thousand people. Even if they were allowed to break through and bypass
What if we use the forward line to detour and attack the center or rear army?
No matter how strong a general is, he is still a human being and his physical strength is limited after all. The fighting styles of those two fierce generals are so fierce. It won’t take too long for their strength to be exhausted. By then, won’t they just be killed?
"Mr. Ziyuan, what do you think?" Kuitou decided to ignore it and let Taishi Ci and Wei Yan mess around. However, he was a little unsure, so he asked Xu You for advice.
"Since the Great Chanyu said that, there should be no problem, right?" Xu You is good at conspiracies, but how can he understand this? He also saw that the Qingzhou Army's momentum was higher than expected, and he couldn't see much.
There are signs of hastily accepting the challenge, but the matter is already at this point, and the two sides are already fighting hand to hand. What else can he do? He can only bite the bullet and hold on to the end.
However, not long after he finished speaking, he began to regret, because he saw that Taishi Ci and Wei Yan had already killed each other through the enemy's formation, and then followed the original path to fight back.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like some kind of long-planned tactic! (To be continued)
