Chapter 118: The Xiliang Army is Enemy from both Front and Back(1/2)
Jia Long raised his sword and dropped it!
"Jia Gong, stop it!"
Yan Yan roared and rushed forward.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The ring-hand knife in Jia Long's hand fell, and without any hesitation or pause, he slashed directly on Liu Hao's neck.
Liu Hao never dreamed that he would end his life in such a way.
He originally wanted to take Jia Long's life, but he didn't do it secretly, and the other party noticed it, and immediately took his own life.
Liu Hao's eyes were wide open, his head rolled on the ground, and he stared at Jia Long in horror. His pupils had gradually dilated, revealing panic, unwillingness, and anger.
Blood spattered inside the tent, which was extremely bloody.
"Ah~~!" Yan Yan roared and rushed towards Jia Long.
Jia Long pointed the knife at him and shouted: "Common man! You still haven't woken up until now? If such a foolish son takes charge of Yizhou in the future, do you really want to serve him? For the sake of Liu Yan, I will give you the Yan family."
You, the Yan family, don’t even have the backbone to benefit from the benefits? How dare you, a wealthy family from Yizhou, be willing to become dogs?!”
Yan Yan's movements suddenly stopped.
He glared at Jia Long with red eyes. He raised his hands in the air and couldn't put them down or hit them down. He was breathing heavily and his teeth were grinding.
Outside the commander's tent, a group of Yizhou troops rushed in with weapons in hand.
"Don't act rashly!" Jia Long shouted angrily.
The Yizhou sergeants were so shocked by this angry shout that they did not dare to move.
And Liu Mao's head was on the ground, leaving them at a loss as to what to do.
But after all, Jia Long and Yan Yan, the two leaders of Yizhou's wealthy tribes, were here, and no one among the sergeants dared to disobey them.
This situation is really frustrating.
Jia Long looked at Yan Yan steadily and said: "Mr. Yan, I have always respected you, and now I am giving you another chance. Are you going to follow Liu Yan and rebel against that scoundrel kid?"
There are nine springs in your life, choose one yourself!"
Yan Yan was trembling all over.
In fact, it stands to reason that Yan Yan participated in Liu Hao's plan to murder Jia Long, and Jia Long should have killed him.
But his elder brother Yan Yong is now the captain of Jiangguan, commanding the troops garrisoned in Jiangguan and Baidi City in the eastern border of Yizhou.
If Jia Long wants to defeat Liu Yan, he will mainly focus on wooing the Yan family at the moment.
After all, the Yan family is also a wealthy family in Ba County.
If it were someone else who conspired with Liu Mao, Jia Long would have chopped him off long ago.
Yan Yan's complexion turned red and white, and finally she bit her lips and bowed at Jia Long.
Jia Long nodded with satisfaction.
But after Yan Yan bowed, he suddenly turned around and walked out of the handsome tent.
Jia Long shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"
Yan Yan shouted without looking back: "Go to the front line and kill the enemy!"
Jia Long was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly laughed in the tent.
Then, he stretched out his hand to greet a Shu army guard and whispered to him: "Send someone to keep an eye on him."
…
Liu Mao's death did not have much impact on the Yizhou Army. The Yizhou soldiers were always commanded by Jia Long.
For the Yizhou Army, which was currently at war, Liu Mao's death had no impact on them at all.
But it's hard to say what the Yizhou Army will look like after this war is over.
…
At this time, the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, which had the absolute advantage just now, suddenly turned for the worse due to the Sun and Liu coalition forces rushing in from the rear, and they were in a desperate situation.
The narrow road in the mountains in front of Dazhai goes straight, and there is no room to go deeper from both sides. The Sun-Liu Allied Army and the Yizhou Army are now in a position where they are cutting off the head and tail, severely blocking the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
in the middle.
The Yizhou Army in front could not help but feel greatly boosted in morale because of their desperate situation. They relied on the camp as a barrier and desperately fought back against the Xiliang Army.
At the mouth of the valley behind the Xiliang army, there were crossbows, shield soldiers, and spearmen forming a coordinated formation to block the Xiliang army.
The warriors of the Xiliang cavalry turned their horses and wanted to rush out of the valley, but they were greeted by countless arrows.
Moreover, in front of those arrows, there were large shield soldiers and spearmen as a front line defense. Even if the cavalry rushed forward, once they charged head-on, they would inevitably be stabbed with blood holes all over their bodies.
.
But at this time, the Yizhou Army in front of the canyon also changed its military formation deployment due to the presence of senior Yizhou generals such as Jia Long and Yan Yan.
They relied on the fence, and also used crossbows and spearmen as the main defense troops, arrayed in front of the stronghold... As soon as the Xiliang army got close, they would give the opponent a heavy counterattack.
On both sides, there were soldiers and horses from the three families of Jing, Yi and Sun, and their morale increased.
Under such a situation, the Xiliang Cavalry and the Bingzhou Cavalry, which were supposed to be the most powerful and capable troops in the army, turned out to be a burden. They turned back and forth between the Yizhou Army and the Sun-Liu Allied Army, looking for opportunities to attack and kill.
But it has never been successful.
"shoot!"
"shoot!"
Arrows rise like locusts and fall like rain.
"prick!"
"prick!"
The spear is like a mountain of knives and can break through a thousand armors.
Under this situation, the Xiliang Army, which was surrounded by troops from two sides and three sides, suffered extremely heavy losses.
The horses of the Xiliang cavalry are all tall and strong, and their targets are too huge. Once they are shot to the ground, they will form a huge obstacle for our charge in the valley, making it even more difficult for the cavalry and archers behind to take advantage.
Hu Zhen rode back and forth in the valley, looking back and forth, with sweat dripping down from his forehead.
How come within a short while, both the front and back turned into dead ends?
The Yizhou Army relied on the abandoned stronghold and could not attack it for a while.
The shield and arrow formations of the Sun and Liu coalition forces behind them were like life-threatening monsters to their own cavalry, and they were even more impossible to touch.
At the moment, if Hu Zhen wants to escape and ascend to heaven, the only person he can count on is Lu Bu who is outside.
The question is, why didn’t that damn Lu Bu come to the rescue?
…
Hu Zhen didn't know that it wasn't that Lu Bu didn't want to save him, but that he couldn't save him at all.
About half of the soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou Army were brought in by Wei Xu to help him attack the Yizhou Army. At present, Lu Bu was fighting fiercely on the battlefield with the coalition forces of Huang Zhong, Huang Gai and others.
Although he was assisted by Bingzhou wolf cavalry, he only brought 3,000 wolf cavalry with him on this expedition, half of which Wei Xu brought into the valley to help out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The only wolf cavalry he can use at the moment is the more than a thousand wolf cavalry he has with him.
However, the Sun-Liu coalition seemed to have studied Wolf Cavalry's tactics in advance and made careful preparations for the battle.
It is still the big shield, spear, and crossbow, these three are the magic weapons used to defeat the cavalry.
But with these three magic weapons, is it necessary to be able to block the cavalry?
uncertain.
The formation of each battalion is very important.
At this time, the coalition forces of Sun and Liu seemed to have a tacit understanding. The shield-bearing infantry led by Wenpin and Huang Gai stood firm in the square formation. After the square formation was formed, there was a gap between each team, and the spearmen prepared for battle.
In the air, interspersed with crossbowmen, they can shoot the Xiliang cavalry in a straight line.
The strong archers were in the rear, under the unified command of Huang Zhong.
When they shoot arrows, they throw them into the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, and then use their strong bows to form an arc and penetrate the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry formation from above and below. In conjunction with the direct shooting of the crossbowmen at an angle of 180 degrees,
It covers almost all angles that can inflict wounds on the enemy, making it extremely difficult for the opponent to defend themselves.
…
Lu Bu sent Bingzhou wolf cavalry several times to rush into the formation, but in this case it had no effect.
On the one hand, the opponent had obviously made careful preparations and research in order to deal with him, and on the other hand, the number of soldiers and generals in his hands was really not enough.
If all the elite Bingzhou troops in Luoyang City were brought out, Lu Bu would not be afraid of anyone in the world.
But in this situation, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and Lu Bu has no way to rescue Hu Zhen.
But after all, he has been in battle for a long time.
After several unsuccessful charges, Lu Bu divided his knights into two teams and gave them to his two generals.
