Since the victory over Yijinhuo in that battle, the most important gain for the Danghu army was not self-confidence, nor was it the killing of more than 10,000 enemies, but the harvest of 3,000 armors.
The reason why Yi Jinhuo was able to achieve his plan easily in that battle was not only because he was proficient in battle formations, but also because the soldiers' fighting power was not as good as ordinary people, and they could move forward with bows, arrows and swords. Now they are competing with each other, and now they are in charge
There are nearly ten thousand soldiers wearing armor, which looks like a solid torrent under the sun, giving the residents a mountain-like confidence.
The battle location is ten miles northwest of Wei Lake. After climbing over two hills, there is a plain with lush green grass and almost no ups and downs. Walking three miles further north, you can see Liu Xuan's army. They have obviously arrived first.
In the center of the army, you can see the huge canopy and the sun pattern flag that the scout said.
Danghu made up his mind at the first sight, and he confirmed that the scout was indeed right: this army seemed to be in a mixed formation, and its morale was low. It was far less powerful than when Yijinhuo came. It could neither fight for a long time nor defeat it.
City. Therefore, Liu Xuancai had to call for a battle, and he also had to borrow such a huge banner to boost morale.
However, Liu Xuan also gained some opportunities, and he was well aware of this. Liu Xuan deliberately planned a battle and seized the battlefield position as early as possible, all in order to hide his army's layout so that he could surprise others in the battle formation. It's just that
There was a huge disparity in the strength of the troops, and the plains were also conducive to cavalry charges. After analysis, I felt that my chance of winning was 80%.
Gao Zhun taught him that there is no 10% chance of victory on the battlefield, 50% is enough to fight to the death, and 70% is considered invincible.
Just as he was thinking like this, the enemy troops in front of him had already begun to change their formations. When Todan saw the Ri Zhu Wang Banner slowly retreating backwards, the infantry on both wings slowly moved forward, eventually forming two diagonal lines pressing against the center formation, just as
The same chelicera crab raised its two claws and opened its teeth and claws towards the owner.
"With this formation, I'm afraid they want our army to fight with them for a long time!" The few Pi Xiaowangs in front saw that something was wrong.
To assist in defense, one's side must also attack with both wings. If one wants to capture the coach quickly and decisively, he will be surrounded by diagonal lines from both wings, and will find himself in a desperate situation.
Danghuman didn't care and said to his subordinates: "If you fight for a long time, you will fight for a long time. Now I have the advantage. Even if the Sun Chaser King will have a few troops, defeat will be in vain. Why should I be so coquettish?"
After saying that, he began to order generals. He first ordered Qie Qu from the He tribe to lead a thousand men to attack Liu Xuan's left wing, then ordered Pi Xiaowang from the Han tribe to lead a thousand men to attack Liu Xuan's right wing, and then ordered He Lai and Diao to attack Liu Xuan's right wing.
Pi Xiaowang of each corps led two thousand men, preparing to take over in rotation behind the two corps. Danghu himself sat in the middle army, watching the enemy's battles reveal flaws, and then led the army to attack with all his strength.
The few people who ordered the general were not happy. After all, the most damaged in the war must be the forwards who fought first. Now that victory is guaranteed, everyone wants to eat meat with the main force instead of risking their lives to chew bones. But everything has to be done by people.
Yes, now that the family has a lot of prestige, they still reluctantly agreed.
So the two armies finally began to fight.
The one who had high hopes was Qiequ Heding of the He tribe who was attacking the left wing. He was known as a wise man in the He tribe. Previously, the He tribe had a water conflict with the He Na tribe. It was only thanks to his efforts to mediate that the conflict was settled. Therefore, on that day
Hu Yue promoted him to lead the He tribe and hoped that after his achievements in this battle, he would show his ability to recognize people.
Hedin also knew this very well, but he knew that he was not good at fighting, and he was not even good at fighting. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and move forward. He led a thousand cavalry and could see the enemy he was facing.
Jun stayed where he was, and he gradually approached. His face was not depressed as the leader said, but he was a little afraid.
He did not rush to kill, but first fired arrows from a distance of about a hundred paces. The enemy also responded with arrows, but the effect was quite different.
The enemy troops in the front line are all infantry, and everyone is wearing armor. Except for a few arrows that hit the face and cause damage, most of the enemy troops are only slightly injured at most, and the rest have no effect. However, the enemy troops responded with bows and arrows, but they missed the target.
More accurate and more ruthless, even though these knights were all wearing armor, the arrows hit the horses more often. The horses neighed several times, and the seriously injured fell to the ground on the spot, unable to get up again.
Only then did Hedin remember that without the help of the wind, the enemy would definitely have the upper hand in a confrontation with the enemy. This made him nervously ask his officers: "It's not good to shoot from a long distance, but can you dare to fight with an edge?" The officers under his command were united.
The answer: "I am willing to fight to the death with Qiequ!" The sonorous words finally made him calm down and get excited again.
He divided the thousands of people into two lines, with 300 in front and 700 in the back. He said: "Since the enemy's army is mostly infantry, but they are lined up in a line, we can't wait to cut off their forward line first and isolate them."
In the rear formation, surround a battalion and annihilate it. In this way, the enemy's morale will inevitably be unable to last long, and we will have completed the king's commission."
The officers all said they were good, so they retreated slightly and changed their formation. Seeing that the enemy infantry could not catch up, they did not force themselves to pursue them, and just sat back and watched Hedin's cavalry attack separately. Even though Hedin was not good at fighting, Hedin still forced himself to fight.
He cheered up and led three hundred knights to try to cut off one end of the giant pincer, but he only turned slightly and saw the enemy slowly retreating back, more than twenty steps back, and he secretly screamed that it was bad.
There was actually a horse trap hidden in the diagonal formation just now! The horse trap was only two feet deep and no more than ten feet long, but for the speeding knights, it was an obstacle that cannot be ignored. If you are not careful, you will be thrown over.
, Hedin had to pull his horse to slow down, and slowly crossed the shallow pit.
But the cavalry can defeat the infantry because of its unparalleled power when charging. The charge is as fierce as thunder, making the infantry frightened and unstoppable. When the speed is reduced, the cavalry is easily injured due to the huge target, so it is better to dismount.
War.
Hedin's first thought was to turn back and withdraw, but now he was too close to the enemy. It was not wise to expose his back to the enemy, so he had no choice but to force the knights to dismount and charge into the enemy with swords.
The enemy did not expect that he could be so decisive, and his arrows were fired twice, accidentally injuring his own soldiers.
When Danghu had a panoramic view of the battle situation, he frowned repeatedly. He also saw Hedin's plan on the left wing. However, at this time Hedin was deeply trapped in the enemy's position with infantry fighting. He was stuck with the enemy and could not escape. He wanted to establish a full force.
Obviously not. The right wing was seriously fighting with the enemy, but the difference in combat power was not small, and the results were not great. He urged: "Let He Laicong and Diao Bulu support Hedin first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was not enough and continued: "Let Han Kuo and the others entangle the rebel army's right formation first, not to defeat the enemy, but to drag it until our army defeats the rebel army's left formation!"
The messengers took the order and went forward. They then looked at the progress of the war and saw four thousand men and horses rushing toward the left wing like thunderous clouds. With the reinforcements from the Diao tribe and the He Lai tribe, Hedin's flag finally stabilized its position and began to advance.
.But the vast reinforcements on the plain block the view, making it difficult to know what the enemy is fighting on the front line.
He waited for two moments and finally discovered that not only Hedin's flag was moving forward, but Liu Xuan's front flag was also gradually retreating, and the left wing's front line was gradually changing from a diagonal line to a horizontal line facing him. "What's going on! Why is it so ineffective to bully a minority with a crowd?" Danghu cursed while holding up the belly of his horse. He knew that this meant that although the fighting was fierce at the front, it was still unable to break through the enemy's line as planned.
But Han Kuo, who was on the right wing, could no longer hold on anymore and sent people twice to ask for reinforcements from Danghu. Danghu gritted his teeth and sent him an additional two thousand reinforcements. In this way, he could barely hold on to the right wing, which made Danghu
Hu was quite upset, so he sent some of his personal followers to the front of the left wing to inspect the battle situation.
Those who followed him came back one after another and reported to the people in charge: "The traitor army has several generals who are as brave as tigers. After many battles, their hands and feet were injured. Although our army is large in number, its morale has been suppressed!" "Thieves!"
The army is all veteran soldiers who are good at fighting. Our army is often unable to defeat two enemies. He Qiequ asked the king, can we withdraw our troops temporarily?"
Danghu was so angry that he had nothing to say. He angrily shouted: "How can we withdraw our troops in this situation? Tell Hedin to hold on! If he dares to flee, I will slaughter his entire family!" But after he vented his anger, he remained calm.
After coming down, he added: "Let him hold on for a few more moments, and I will send reinforcements. After all, the enemy is outnumbered!"
While he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion on the opposite side, and saw Liu Xuan's huge Chinese army suddenly moving quickly to the left, rushing towards the left wing for reinforcements!
Danghu was about to send his attendants to continue to inquire about the situation, but he immediately realized why it was so: Liu Xuan's left wing kept retreating, and his own side kept advancing. Under the change of formation, his side's flank was completely exposed to the opponent's central army. Liu Xuan was exactly what he wanted to do.
Use this blow to seal the victory.
I got into trouble again!
Before he could get upset, another thought flashed through Danghu's mind: He was fighting Ijinhuo in Dacheng. If Ijinhuo died, the enemy army would be completely defeated. Now Liu Xuan has dispatched the Chinese army. Looking at the movements of his troops, it is obvious that he is also there.
Inside the attacking central army! At this time, his central army is protruding between the two pincers, and there is no worry of being flanked by front and rear.
The inspiration of seeing the fighter plane made him feel transformed. He asked the guards beside him to blow the horn. The sound of the horn was high and sharp, like the footsteps of an unknown giant beast trampling the earth. It cheered up all the soldiers behind him. They seemed to have seen what was happening behind them.
On this lush grassland, countless blood was spilled, and what was revealed behind the piles of corpses was a tragic and magnificent heroic path.
That's the order for a general attack.
Qi Quzhiya sneered, he gently shaved his white beard on his temples with a knife, and said with a smile to Liu Xuan, "He's just a slave and a thief."
