The rain came very quickly, and it only took a few breaths from the first drop of raindrops to fall until the entire field of vision became dark and blurry.
The scattered raindrops quickly connected into a line, then connected into one, and finally turned into a series of curtain walls, spanning the center of the battlefield. It looked like God was angry, and after the storm, it simply rained down.
, no matter what, the two warring parties must be separated.
However, the heaven and earth send out murderous intentions, but the stars change, dragons and snakes rise from the ground, and humans send murderous intentions, but it will happen again and again. Even the wrath of heaven cannot completely eliminate the killings in the world.
"Good rain, it comes at the right time!" Ma Chao laughed loudly and shouted: "This is God's help, sons and daughters, follow me to defeat the enemy!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The morale of the Xiliang army was high, and they cheered thunderously. Two hundred and forty thousand horse hooves flew up and down, kicking up mud and water all over the sky, mixing with the pouring rain. Under the feet of the galloping army, it seemed that there was a
Trampling a huge dark cloud.
No wonder Ma Chao was delighted. As we all know, the most fearful thing for long-range weapons is rain and snow. If the bow string is exposed to wet areas for many days, it will become slippery, loose, and its power will be greatly reduced. In the current heavy rain, even the crossbows of the Qingzhou Army
Even if it can be used forcefully, the power and accuracy will be greatly reduced.
The Xiliang cavalry only had paper armor, and not every soldier was equipped with it. The powerful crossbows and crossbows of the Qingzhou Army still posed a great threat to the cavalry. Ma Chao had always suspected that Wang Yu's hidden trump card was probably the crossbow.
More powerful crossbows were launched at the same time as the Xiliang army launched its attack.
Now he is no longer worried. In such weather, no matter how many ballistas are hidden by the Qingzhou Army, they will not have time to enter the attack position and launch a volley. Even if it is barely launched, the lethality is worrying. With the double protection of heavy rain and paper armor,
The power of the cavalry attack can be exerted to its maximum!
It is said that it is to one's advantage if the enemy is unlucky, but just as Ma Chao was shouting ecstatically, an unfathomable smile appeared on Wang Yu's lips.
"Kong Ming, you are really yours. You can even calculate the time so accurately. In the future, when the world is unified, you will definitely be the director of the Meteorological Bureau."
"Meteorological Bureau?" Zhuge Liang was stunned.
"Well, it's a department that specializes in observing the weather and making forecasts in advance..." Wang Yu explained casually, then smiled and his voice turned serious: "The rain came just in time, it's God's help! Send an order to the entire army to fight according to the established strategy.
Enemy army! The shame of Xue's defeat will determine the fate of the whole world today!"
"Oh!" All the generals agreed in unison.
The next moment, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the drummers and trumpeters tried their best to ignite the blood in everyone's hearts with the stormy melody.
"Ignore those miscellaneous soldiers, change the formation, the whole army changes formation! Fight with all your strength!" Xu Shu wiped the rain off his face, waved the big flag in his hand, and shouted with all his strength.
"The general has an order, change your formation to meet the enemy!" The ordering soldiers could no longer run around to convey the order. They could only rely on shouting in unison to pass the order down layer by layer.
The defeat a month ago was not only a major stain on his life, but also a smear on the brilliant achievements of the Hussars. Although the lord was magnanimous, his colleagues were generous, and no one was chasing him, he himself was not that easy.
Forgive yourself.
With his character, he would not always feel sorry for himself and get entangled, but when the opportunity to avenge his shame came before him, he still inevitably became excited.
The tactics of infantry fighting were developed by Xu Shu and Wang Yu together. He was also responsible for the training and commanding on the battlefield. Everything went smoothly before, but such results are still far from the real goal. The real test
What determines his success or failure is the moment when the Xiliang Cavalry launches a full-scale attack!
"Change the formation now? Isn't it too late?" The Xiliang army deployed the Crane Wing Formation, with the two wings in front and the Chinese army behind. Even though it had experienced a fierce infantry battle, the relative positions of the various troops and horses did not change.
Change. The ones rushing to the front were none other than Ma Wan and Yang Qiu's troops. At this moment, both of them looked happy.
Before Ma Chao ordered the general attack, the two of them were in despair. Qingzhou's crossbowmen were too strong. Even if the Xiliang army won in the end, the men and horses participating in the first wave of attack would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Now the heavy rain has blocked the sight and soaked the bows and crossbows. Moreover, the orders of the Qingzhou Army were heard in the distance, and it was obvious that the assembly had not been completed. Generals Ma and Yang were elated.
It is undeniable that the Qingzhou Army's infantry formation used for hand-to-hand combat is indeed very strong, but that formation is only suitable for infantry combat and is not suitable for resisting cavalry at all. From the battle situation just now, it can be inferred that the Qingzhou Army should have contingency plans and can be used very quickly.
They gathered together in a short period of time, but this sudden rainstorm interrupted their pace.
There is no threat of long-range weapons, and there is no blockage from dense arrays. The danger of the forward is greatly reduced, and the chance of meritorious service is correspondingly increased. The job of risking death has become a good job. Is there any reason to dislike it?
At this moment, the Xiliang generals' confidence in victory reached its peak.
"Crack!" As if in response, a light blue lightning struck straight down, and the dim vision was completely illuminated. Yang Qiu and Ma Wan were surprised to find that the enemy was retreating as quickly as the sea water at low tide.
What pleased them even more was that the enemy did not reorganize their formation while retreating, but on the contrary. Although a single squad had strengthened to about thirty people, the overall array became more and more dispersed. The distance between the two squads was enough.
They were thirty or forty steps apart, and the entire team's frontal attack area was only three people abreast.
"Boom!" Before they had time to experience the joy of victory, Generals Yang and Ma were awakened by a thunderous sound. They both felt their hearts suddenly twitching. Their vision darkened and blurred again, and the figures on the battlefield were like children.
Tigers roar and dragons roar.
The heavy rain curtain blocked the space, making it difficult to see clearly the scenery twenty steps away. Yang, General Ma and the cavalry under their command were full of expectations and urged their horses to run wildly.
They must rush forward as soon as possible so that the unlucky Qingzhou people have no time to make further adjustments. The power of the cavalry lies in its speed. In addition to using a dense formation to delay the speed of the cavalry, what else can stop the violent advance of the cavalry?
Even in the Juyong battle that day, didn't Wang Yu sacrifice the assault capability of the cavalry and rely on the strong defense of the cavalry to delay the speed of the Xianbei cavalry before launching the Yellow Turban Hercules to counterattack?
Now there are neither iron cavalry nor dense infantry formations standing in front of the Xiliang cavalry army. The cavalry will trample through them. There will be no surprises in victory!
"Kill!"
The impact of the heavy rain on the cavalry was far less severe than that of the infantry and crossbowmen. In the last few hundred steps, the Xiliang cavalry was left behind in an instant. The cavalry at the front could already clearly see the enemy's figure.
At the front, there is a small spear array with three rows and five rows. At the front of the array, there are several large oars, stacked up in front of the array. The array of spears and shields is not included.
There is also a Juma placed in front of the formation!
If this military formation is enlarged and consists of 1,500 or even 15,000 people, then the courage and threat felt by the Xiliang cavalry will definitely be much greater than it is now. But now there are only 15 people, front-on
Although the defense is a bit tricky and requires a certain amount of sacrifice to break through, there is such a big gap on the side, so you can just go around it.
Anyway, the main duty of the forward cavalry is not to kill the enemy, but to break down the enemy's formation and divide the enemy. Now that the enemy has made way, let's go around it first. Anyway, there are still many people to follow. When the main force arrives, we can start from
That's it for side attacks.
Not only the ordinary cavalry thought so, but even veteran generals like Yang Qiu and Ma Wan didn't feel any difference. They were just overjoyed. They felt that Wang Yulang had earned his fame in vain, or maybe it was the luck of his young general.
It was indeed so good that it was unbelievable. I had great luck, so God sent a heavy rain and disrupted the pace of the Qingzhou Army.
They had no intention of fighting the Qingzhou Army's small formation and paid an unnecessary price. They directly pulled the reins of their horses and went around. While passing by, they did not forget to turn their heads and look at the enemy with mocking eyes.
I want to know what kind of expressions are on the faces of these stupid enemies at this moment.
Of course, this move also means observing the enemy's formation. If the enemy doesn't have too many spears on the side, they don't mind making a small crack with the sword in their hands first.
Fortunately, the narrow sides of the infantry formations of the Qingzhou Army did not have spearmen, but consisted of a very strange configuration.
The most conspicuous thing is the shield soldier. Every other person has a shield-holding infantry. They hold the shield with both hands and carry the sword behind their backs. At first glance, they are dedicated to defense. Behind the shield soldier is a long-armed soldier standing.
Between the two shield bearers was a soldier without any weapons.
It's not accurate to say that they didn't hold weapons. They were holding a big black box in their hands. Judging from the posture, it looked like a weapon. But the box was square and had no edges or sharp edges. There was no weapon at all.
appearance.
"Damn, I'm not very capable, but I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve. Forget it, I don't have time to play with you, let's clear the formation at the back first!" Yang Qiu thought about it for a while, but still didn't dare to act rashly. He muttered a curse and raised his head.
He raised his sword and pointed it forward, signaling the army to rush over first.
Yang Qiu didn't want to provoke these weird wooden box soldiers and wanted others to pass by. However, those wooden box soldiers obviously didn't understand the principle of reciprocating kindness, but they refused to let him pass easily.
"Twenty steps ahead... wind!" As the next bolt of lightning exploded in the air, a loud shout came from the small infantry formation in Qingzhou. The soldiers holding strange wooden boxes flattened the boxes in their hands. If there were
Those who are familiar with Qingzhou military drills will definitely recognize that this posture is completely the standard posture for crossbow soldiers to shoot!
"Buzz!" Neither the box wall nor the sound of horse hooves hitting the water could cover up the sound of the bowstring vibrating.
"Tsk!" The thick rain curtain also could not block the cold light that burst out from the box.
"Pfft!" Finally, the paper armor, which had always had a miraculous effect on long-range attacks, turned out to be as if it were made of paper and failed to block it at all. It was easily penetrated by the cold light, which made the owner of the paper armor feel...
There was a heartbreaking pain, and he turned over and fell off his horse with a miserable hiss, causing a large amount of mud to be thrown up.
"This is impossible!" Yang Qiu was shocked and roared crazily in his heart. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
