As midnight approaches, the dark clouds in the night sky gradually disperse, and a deserted waning moon hangs in the sky, spreading its cold moonlight to the earth.
On the official road, dull footsteps came from far and near. Two thousand infantrymen wearing iron armor and holding shields moved forward neatly with long iron spears.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The regular steps were ups and downs as they ran, and at the same time they raised a burst of dust on the ground, wrapping the two thousand infantrymen in it.
Gao Fei and Sun Jian were both wearing the uniforms of ordinary soldiers, and all the infantry were in uniform. From the outside, it looked like an army without a commander, but such an army was about to stage a battle of infantry resisting cavalry.
life and death struggle.
Although he didn't stay in Sun Jian's army for a long time, Gao Fei still discovered something unusual in Sun Jian's army. The customs of some soldiers were different from those of the Han Dynasty. This caught his attention and made some inquiries in private.
Only then did I realize that out of the five thousand elite soldiers Sun Jian brought this time, four thousand of them were Shanyue people. No wonder they were so sturdy.
Shanyue is located in the land of Baiyue in the south. Sun Jian's hometown is Wujun, which is the scope of Shanyue's activities. After Sun Jian became the governor of Changsha, he used his reputation to lure Shanyue people to his use in the Wujun area, forming a group that has always been known as Shanyue.
A sophisticated army composed mostly of infantry.
Most of the people in Shanyue are remnants of the Yue ethnic group who have been roughly Chineseized. They practice martial arts in Shanyue. They are accustomed to waiting for opportunities, concentrated assaults, and hit-and-run guerrilla tactics. However, the land of Wuyue has produced copper and iron since ancient times. The Shanyue people
They can forge their own weapons and armor, so basically all the men in Shanyue wear iron armor and hold iron spears. It is worth mentioning that the iron spears of the Shanyue people are generally very long and are specially used to fight against the government cavalry. Therefore, Sun Jian
Once these people were lured over, the men from Shanyue brought their own weapons and armor. This is why Sun Jian was able to have an army of armored infantry.
Gao Fei is very aware of the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang cavalry, and he is also aware of the weaknesses of the Xiliang cavalry. The Xiliang cavalry always likes to rush forward on horseback with swords, and being overconfident in their own force will lead to underestimating the enemy, so although everyone in the Xiliang cavalry can
Archery, but often abandoned, they prefer the simple way of charging and killing. As long as they rush to their side, with a wave of the saber, their heads fall to the ground. The reason why Gao Fei chose these two thousand infantry to lure the enemy is because he knows that Xiliang
The weakness of the cavalry is to use long weapons to defeat the enemy. His style of fighting once defeated Beigong Boyu. So this time he went to the battlefield again, and he was familiar with it.
Two thousand people and two thousand Shanyue spears, specially designed to deal with cavalry, moved forward in a neat pace. Gao Fei had to admire Sun Jian's ability to train the army. He was able to bring these Shanyue people who never obeyed the government's dispatches.
So well trained.
The bright moonlight shone on the ground, reflecting in the two densest woods within a radius of twenty miles. Some figures were looming, and their shadows gradually emerged. Without the cover of the night, Li Jue felt anxious and looked up.
After taking a look at the night sky, the feeling that I had been feeling proud just now suddenly turned into worry.
After Li Tie came back to report the situation on the other side, Li Jue relaxed. At this time, taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Jue saw that there was no movement in the dense forest opposite, not even a single figure, but he could still hear the opposite side.
The sound of birds chirping in the woods. A smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Guo Aduo is worthy of being someone who has been in the mountains. Even his hidden skills are much more secretive than mine."
, there is not a single trace visible from the outside.”
After hearing this, Li Tie thought to himself: "Guo Si is good at ambushes. He can actually hide 20,000 troops so that no one can see any signs of suspiciousness. He is really a troublesome person. I only hope that my lord can
Pay attention to that side, don’t be fooled by that side.”
"General, the enemy has arrived. It sounds very powerful. There is dust flying in the distance and flags are densely covered. It is not clear how many people are coming. However, the enemy is fighting with infantry, and the cavalry is nowhere to be found." The scout came from a distance.
The department detected the situation and reported it immediately.
Li Jue frowned and asked Li Tie: "I heard that the troops led by Gao Fei are all cavalry, why are they only infantry? Have you followed my instructions to talk to Gao Fei?"
Li Tie said with a bitter look on his face: "Of course I did what the general said, but doesn't the general know? The Feiyu Army under Gao Fei's tent is an excellent army, capable of fighting on foot, on horseback, and on mountains.
Very skilled. Over the past year or so, most of our older generation Feiyu Army have been killed in battle. Gao Fei recruited another group of people in Liaodong. This time he brought the official Feiyu Army, so he used infantry to clear the way.
It’s normal. Maybe they are worried about some ambush and want to confuse our troops.”
After hearing the explanation, Li Jue turned to the scout and asked, "Whose flag is this person flying?"
The scout said: "General Gao Zhenbei, and Grand Administrator Sun of Changsha."
Li Jue laughed and said: "This time I will serve Gao Fei and Sun Jian in one go. I will tell you to go down and stay hidden, and listen to my orders at any time."
Li Tiedao: "General, my men are ready. I will take them to the front to meet Gao Fei now. When the enemy arrives, they will definitely believe it and put down their guard."
Li Jue nodded and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly, you should have gone long ago."
Li Tie smiled at Li Jue, and immediately left the dense forest with his 737 people, and stood on the official road fully armed.
Seven hundred and thirty-eight people on horses quickly gathered together, and under the leadership of Li Tie, they took an offensive stance in the Feiyu Army's unique formation.
Li Tie, who had just arrived on the official road, squinted at the woods on the right. He saw that there was still no movement in the woods on the right, not even a human figure could be seen. He couldn't help but admired in his heart: "What method did Guo Si use?
He hid his people so secretly that I couldn’t even see where his soldiers were from standing here.”
At this moment, roaring footsteps came over, and a rectangular infantry phalanx drove into the sight of Li Tie, Li Jue and others under the moonlight. The infantry phalanx was lined with spears and wrapped in iron armor.
Everyone who saw it was a little shocked by this army.
Li Jue was also shocked. This was the first time he had seen such a neat infantry phalanx, with every ten people in a row, lined up to the back, with spears and shields in hand, iron helmets, and armor protection, all complete.
An armored army. He couldn't help but admire in his heart: "I didn't expect Gao Fei's Fei Yu Army to be so majestic. It's almost as good as the Grand Master's Flying Bear Army."
In the middle of the team, Sun Jian and Gao Fei were surrounded by armored troops. Seeing Li Tie staying there in the distance, they secretly held their breath. Seeing the dense forests on both sides of the road, they all tightened their weapons and shields.
Hold on tightly to prepare for the cavalry rushing out at any time.
"Brother Xian, in order to be able to fight in the wild and to hide my own strength, I deliberately did not let Dong Jun see that I also have an armored army. If I appear in front of them for the first time today, they will definitely believe that it belongs to Brother Xian.
The Fei Yu Army is here." Sun Jian whispered to Gao Fei beside him.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "I can only say that my brother's army is well-trained and can be fake. However, even the Feiyu Army may not have such a lineup."
"Young brother, you are joking. I have seen your Feiyu Army with my own eyes. It is even stronger than my Iron Armored Army..." Before Sun Jian could finish his words, he saw Li Tie coming on horseback in front of him, so he changed his words and said, "Here comes Li Tie."
, it seems that there will be a battle soon, let me show you the power of my armored army."
Gao Fei smiled and said nothing. When he saw Li Tie stopped, he shouted: "Where is Dong Jun?"
Li Tie followed the agreed dialogue and said loudly: "Gao Fei, you have been surrounded, please surrender quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jue in the dense forest was immediately shocked. He immediately saw the armored army stopped, with their spears and shields facing the outside. He roared angrily: "This brainless Li Tie, shouted too much."
It's too late, you've ruined my big thing! Brothers, go out and kill Gao Fei and Sun Jian, I'll give you a big reward!"
With an order, a large number of cavalry came out of the dense forest on the left and rushed towards the official road in the middle. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the dense forest.
The official road was not far from the dense forest. As soon as the cavalry rushed out, they quickly surrounded the armored army. Facing the spears lined up by the armored army, they did not appear afraid. Instead, they rushed forward without hesitation, waving their spears.
The saber drives the horse under him to gallop quickly with a fearless spirit.
"Attack!" Sun Jian shouted, and the soldiers on the left side of his face began to rush forward and met the charging cavalry, followed by a fierce thrust.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Xiliang cavalry rushing in the front row became overwhelmed, and people and animals died under the spears. But before the spearmen could draw their weapons, the second wave of cavalry rushed over. Some of them had no time to retreat.
The spearman was beheaded by the Xiliang cavalry that rushed over, and blood immediately spurted out from his neck.
Li Tie watched Li Jue and Sun Jian's troops fighting together, and according to the prior arrangement, he led some of his troops into the woods on the right, while the others ran in eight different directions. They had already prepared
The ignition point lit the fire and sent a signal to the cavalry teams in eight directions.
Here, Li Tie and his soldiers drew their weapons and galloped into the woods on the right side of the official road, but found that there was no one in the woods. Guo Si's troops and Xu Rong's troops had all disappeared without a trace.
He hurriedly drove out of the woods again and sent people to notify Gao Fei and Sun Jian to let them deal with Li Jue with all their strength. He himself led the remaining people to attack Li Jue's men.
Li Jue and his men were fighting against the Iron Armored Army, but saw no movement in the woods on the right. While he was wondering, he suddenly saw Li Tie leading his soldiers to attack his rear. He immediately felt that he had been fooled. But he relied on his ability
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses did not call for retreat, but continued to fight, vowing to surround Gao Fei and Sun Jian.
