The original Hubo Camp was already shaky, but after the three thousand troops from the Guards Battalion joined the battle, it temporarily stabilized its position.
Tan Yuan saw this scene and couldn't help but smile disdainfully.
"Hahaha, it seems Long Wujun can't stand it any longer!"
The deputy general on the side heard this and was confused, "General, what does this mean?!"
The situation on the battlefield clearly showed that the Longwu Army's situation was stabilized by its reinforcements. How could it be that the Longwu Army was about to be unable to withstand it?!
You're just talking nonsense with your eyes open! If you weren't the commander-in-chief, I would have refuted it long ago!
As if what the deputy general was thinking, Tan Yuan explained, "Originally, our army and the Longwu Army were evenly matched, but then our army took advantage and kept advancing. When we saw that we could no longer resist, the Longwu Army sent this support force."
The deputy general nodded when he heard this, and then Tan Yuan continued, "Do you think these troops are from the left wing of the Longwu Army?!"
"Isn't it?!" The deputy general suddenly felt so stupid!
Tan Yuan was not known for his intelligence and scheming, and he was cruel and easy to kill. His vision was so much higher than his own.
"If this troop is the one on the left wing of the Longwu Army, then why didn't he show up at the beginning, but waited until the Tiger Battalion was almost unable to withstand it before showing up to support?! This is clearly a maneuver arranged by Cao Xueyang
The purpose of the soldiers and horses is to prevent the left wing from being lost. When they appear, it means that the left wing of the Longwu Army is indeed in danger!"
Long Wujun's cards have been played, but he has just started to play his cards. The ace in his hand is still hidden. How can he lose?!
Tan Yuan is just cruel and easy to kill, not stupid! Someone who can lead an army alone will definitely not be a fool like Li Kui.
"We only need to consume the power of the Longwu Army, and then the Wugang Chariot Formation should be broken!"
For Tan Yuan, the most troublesome thing is the Wugang car formation in front of him.
Wugang's chariots circled themselves into a camp, forming a barrier to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
This usage was developed by the Han generals and Changpinghou. With the Wugang chariot barrier, the infantry always had the opportunity to defeat the weak with the strong.
Later, with the vigorous development of cavalry, this thing gradually declined.
But Yang Qingyuan dug it out of the trash heap of history and gave it new vitality.
On Blue Star, chariots regained their vitality in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, such as Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army, which was good at using firearms in conjunction with chariot tactics.
Although Yang Qingyuan did not have firearms, Long Wujun's long-range tactics had similar characteristics to firearms tactics, so he pushed out the dusty Wu Gang cart.
Facts have proved that there are no outdated tactics, only suitable tactics. This Wugang vehicle is now shining brightly on the battlefield.
The reason why the light cavalry of King Zhao's army did not dare to attack was because of the resistance of Wu Gang's chariot.
…
However, despite the participation of 3,000 Guardsmen, they still could not stabilize their position under the fierce attack of King Zhao's army regardless of casualties.
Under the pressure of King Zhao's army, the troops of Long Wu's army began to retreat towards the rear of Wugang's chariot.
"General Yang! General Cao sent someone to ask for reinforcements. Please ask General Yang to send troops for reinforcements! Otherwise, the Wugang chariot formation will not be able to be defended!"
A school captain, covered in blood, rode up to Madam Yang Si.
Cao Wenzhao no longer had any mobile troops, but Yang Miaozhen still had 7,000 hook-and-scythe gunmen and half a guard battalion.
These soldiers and horses are enough to block the offensive of King Zhao's army, and even counterattack!
"You go back and tell Cao Wenzhao that there are no reinforcements! He can retreat, but the formation must not be chaotic. If the formation of the front army collapses because of him, I will not spare him!"
When the captain heard this, he stopped talking, "This...hey!...I have an order!"
Then he got on his horse and went to report back to Cao Wenzhao.
"General Yang really said that?!" Cao Wenzhao had doubts in his eyes.
The captain thought that Cao Wenzhao didn't believe his words, "General, I really didn't mean to deceive you. These are indeed General Yang's exact words."
After receiving confirmation from the captain, Cao Wenzhao's face became even more suspicious.
Mrs. Yang Si is not only the top master of the Longwu Army and the chief instructor of the Longwu Army, she is also an excellent cavalry general.
Logically speaking, Yang Miaozhen should not have issued such an order.
Cao Wenzhao guessed that Yang Miaozhen might have another big move, and he might be targeting the general of King Zhao's army opposite him.
The mobile force in the hands of Madam Yang Si and the hook-and-scythe gunmen were enough to deal with the main cavalry force of King Zhao's army.
"Send the order to the whole army, the formation must not be disrupted! Slowly retreat!"
The Wugang chariot of Long Wujun was like an iron barrel formation, making it impossible for the cavalry of King Zhao's army to attack.
But also because of the iron barrel formation, the cavalry of King Zhao's army would not attack easily. What Mrs. Yang wanted to do was to let King Zhao's army open the iron barrel formation by herself, and then the cavalry would attack.
Only in this way did she have a chance to defeat King Zhao's cavalry.
Tan Yuan discovered that Long Wu's army finally began to retreat! It seemed that it could no longer hold the Wu Gang chariot formation and slowly withdrew back, but its formation remained stable.
"The Longwu Army is indeed a strong army!" Even a headstrong man like Tan Yuan had to admire the Longwu Army's formation.
I am afraid that few armies can maintain the integrity of their formation after retreating.
"However, Lao Tan and I are still more skilled!"
Although the Longwu Army's military formation remained intact, the Wugang chariot, the support point of their defense, was left behind.
Without the assistance of Wugang's chariot, the Longwu Army's military formation would not be able to withstand the impact of King Zhao's cavalry!
"The whole army is pressing forward, the cavalry is ready!"
The cavalry of King Zhao's army, which had not been dispatched until now, began to prepare to attack. In front of the formation on the left wing of Long Wu's army, Wu Gang's chariots were overturned by the infantry of King Zhao's army. When they sensed the formation of Wu Gang's chariots, it was the time for King Zhao's cavalry to dispatch.
.
…
While retreating steadily, Cao Wenzhao also received a warning from Madam Yang, telling him to be careful of the cavalry attack by King Zhao's army.
Cao Wenzhao also knew this. After King Zhao's army forced back Long Wu's army, they did not rush to pursue it. Instead, they began to clean up the Wugang chariot formation and overturned all the Wugang chariots in preparation for the subsequent cavalry attack.
.
"Let the pike battalion prepare to guard against enemy cavalry attacks!"
At this time, Tan Yuan did not know that Cao Wenzhao had already begun to prepare to resist the cavalry, but even if he knew, he would not have any reaction.
Because he didn't think Cao Wenzhao had the ability to withstand his cavalry.
It's one thing to guess what's going to happen, but it's another thing to be able to stop it. The elite cavalry of King Zhao's army is not something that these rabble can withstand.
"boom!"
As the last Wugang chariot on the left wing was overturned, it seemed that nothing could stop the Zhao Wangjun's cavalry.
The cavalry under Tan Yuan have already begun gearing up, and it is time for their performance next.
"Send the order to the front troops. The whole army is pressing forward. Don't give the Longwu Army a chance to breathe!"
Although the conditions for the cavalry attack have been met, Tan Yuan still ordered the infantry to continue the attack. He wanted to squeeze out the last potential of this infantry. More than 20,000 people had been killed in the battle. Tan Yuan did not mind changing this infantry into a second one.
Cheng San, as long as we can defeat Long Wujun's left wing, everything will be worth it.
"Continue the attack!"
The soldiers of King Zhao's army continued to press forward under the organizational orders of each school captain. Although they consumed a lot of physical energy, their mental excitement made them temporarily unable to feel the hardship. Instead, they were repelling Long Wu's army and breaking through Wugang's chariot formation.
Afterwards, there was an incredible excitement.
But in fact, most of both physical and mental energy have been consumed.
"Defeat the Longwu Army and capture Cao Xueyang alive!"
The morale of King Zhao's army seems to be getting higher and higher, but its combat effectiveness has begun to decline as time goes by. Now it is even difficult to shake the Long Wu Army's defensive formation!
Tan Yuan, who was in the rear army formation, had a panoramic view of all this, "The time has come! Brothers, follow me and march on thousands of troops!"
In King Zhao's military formation, a torrent that had been silent began to move!
Three thousand iron cavalry, plus more than 20,000 light cavalry.
Such a cavalry has the ability to break formations anywhere.
In the center of the left wing of the Longwu Army, Lady Yang had been observing the situation in the enemy's formation. When the cavalry camp sent out flags, Lady Yang knew that the cavalry of King Zhao's Army was about to move!
"Tripping the horse rope! Prepare the hook and sickle gun!"
"Brothers and sisters of the Guards Battalion, prepare to join me in joining the enemy!"
The pear blossom in Yang Miaozhen's hand moved casually, and a gun flower danced.
The soldiers of the Guards Battalion also got on their horses one after another.
"Kick! Kick! Kick!"
The ground began to tremble slightly, which was a sign of a large-scale cavalry attack. The cavalry of King Zhao's army moved!
Leading the charge was the remaining heavy cavalry of King Zhao's army.
This iron cavalry Zhang Shimei was handed over to Tan Yuan, a powerful general, in the hope of giving full play to his power.
"kill!"
After the cavalry attacked, the infantry of King Zhao's army began to disperse to make way for the cavalry charge.
Without the obstruction of Wugang's chariot formation, it only took a moment for the cavalry to rush in front of Long Wujun.
"Rejection of horse and gun formation! Get up!"
How could there be no cavalry formation to resist the cavalry?
When Cao Wenzhao formed the formation, he had already arranged the horse-repelling spear formation, which was located behind Wugang's chariot formation.
The Wugang chariot formation is the first line of defense against cavalry, while the horse and spear formation is the second line of defense that hinders their charge.
Cao Wenzhao buried it on the surface and covered it with sand. When necessary, he only needed to pull it hard with a rope, and the cavalry formation would be erected to resist the enemy's cavalry charge.
This sudden formation of horse-repelling spears was obviously beyond Tan Yuan's expectation. He had no idea that Long Wujun had such a skill.
The horse-rejection formation is one of the most cost-effective ways to deal with cavalry. It only requires a few spears, a small amount of wood, and straw ropes to exert considerable power.
"Rush towards me!"
Such a God-given opportunity was the perfect choice to defeat the Longwu Army's formation. Naturally, Tan Yuan could not hesitate because of the small formation of horses and spears.
The iron cavalry under his command are both men and horses. Naturally, they cannot be afraid of these horse and spear formations. As for the light cavalry...
At this time, Tan Yuan couldn't care about so much anymore!
"Kill me!"
The tiger-headed golden sword in Tan Yuan's hand could not be swung. It was like a folding fan opening its screen. Wherever the light of the sword passed, the formation of horse-rejecting spears in front of him was all chopped into pieces.
Taking the lead, he rode into the Longwu Army's formation.
A group of cavalry followed closely behind Tan Yuan. They were all well-equipped, and even the horse-rejecting spear formation could not cause much damage to him. The cavalry ran straight past the horse-rejecting spear formation.
The worst thing was the Qingqi who followed the charge. Their horses were not equipped with armor, and the knights of the Qingqi also wore light armor. Such defense could not withstand the damage of the horse-repelling spear array.
Hundreds of cavalrymen fell on their backs after bumping into the horse-repelling guns.
At this time, the infantry of King Zhao's army had retreated to the left and right rear, making way for the cavalry to charge. These fallen cavalry had no cover from their comrades.
The soldiers of the Longwu Army took the opportunity to rush out, and almost no one of these fallen cavalry survived.
But at the same time, the formation of the Longwu Army's left wing was also disrupted by Tan Yuan's cavalry. Tan Yuan waved his tiger-headed golden sword in the formation and kept charging. No less than a hundred Longwu Army soldiers died under his sword.
The charge of the iron cavalry caused at least thousands of casualties to the Longwu Army.
"Tripping rope! Get up!"
The third line of defense of Longwu Army, the tripping rope, also appeared. This is the simplest and crudest way to deal with cavalry. It is not very lethal, but it can delay the impact of cavalry. The most important thing is that even heavy cavalry can
There is no way to ignore the stumbling block.
Facing the tripping rope, Tan Yuan pulled the reins, and the horse jumped up and easily jumped over the tripping rope.
Many cavalrymen behind him also followed the same pattern.
However, not everyone has such riding skills. At least nearly two hundred cavalrymen fell on the stumbling ropes.
The heavy cavalrymen and horses are all in armor. Once they fall down, it is very laborious to get up.
However, although there were some casualties, the overall result was still very satisfactory to Tan Yuan.
He did not go deep into the enemy's army like Zhu Shihong and wanted to penetrate the enemy's army. Instead, he used his iron cavalry to disrupt the Longwu Army's formation.
And this was beyond Madam Yang’s expectation.
Originally, she thought that Tan Yuan would not miss such a golden opportunity, and would definitely choose to break into the Longwu Army's main formation and completely defeat the Longwu Army's formation. Who knew that Tan Yuan had no such intention, and instead kept leading the cavalry to disrupt the formation.
.
If Tan Yuan breaks into the enemy's formation, Lady Yang can divide and surround him according to the method she used to deal with Zhu Shihong, then gather together and annihilate him.
But now Tan Yuan's move is not as profitable as the penetration strategy, but it is worse than the safety.
"No! We can't go on like this!!" Madam Yang Si made a decisive decision, "The Guards battalion will attack with me, and the hook-and-scythe gunners will wait for the opportunity to strangle the enemy!"
Tan Yuan's cavalry cannot be allowed to continue to disrupt the Longwu Army's formation, otherwise it will be a problem not to mention the cavalry of King Zhao's rebel army, but also to deal with the infantry.
As the Fourth Lady clamped the rouge horse under her crotch, the cavalry from the Guards Battalion rushed out.
On the other side, Tan Yuan is a joy to kill. His martial arts matches his personality and is related to killing. His cruel and murderous temperament is also influenced by martial arts.
Tan Yuan was already standing on the threshold of the Cave Mystic Realm. Now, under the continuous killings, the trapped bottleneck seemed to be loosened, which made Tan Yuan kill even more happily!
No fewer than 300 Longwu Army soldiers died under Tan Yuan's tiger-headed golden sword!
Just as Tan Yuan continued to slaughter with his sword, he felt a strong wind coming.
"The thief will stop being crazy and take a shot from me!"
