Chapter 273 Raid
On the bleak and desolate northwest land, strong winds rolled up yellow sand from time to time to cover the sun. In front of the dock, nearly 200,000 troops formed a three-way confrontation with the shape of Pin. The neat square array covers an area of several kilometers, which seemed to form an isolation belt, and even there was no breeze in the center of Pin!
During the three-way battle, Qin Feng actually closed his eyes and rested.
Guo Si was immediately angry, "What does he mean? I look down on me!"
Li Jue cursed the fool inwardly, thinking that he couldn't even understand this. "Qin Zijin was telling us that he would not attack first."
Guo Si said: "What should I do?"
Li Jue thought he knew Qin Feng's idea, "He wants to preserve his strength. Humph, our elite troops are several times more numerous than theirs. It is easy to attack Lu Bu first and deal with Qin Zijin back."
Li Jue and Guo Si finished their plan and beat the drums to advance.
The rumbling drums echoed in the sky, and the earth seemed to tremble under these simple syllables. The Xiliang army took steps and stepped on the rolling yellow sand and dust to cover the sun, and more than 100,000 solemn figures appeared and loomed in it.
In just half a cup of tea, the three well-trained Xiliang Army marched to the front of the formation, lined up behind the two cavalry marchs, pointing directly at the Lu Bu army in the southeast direction.
"The arrow phalanx detours the two wings!"
With the rumbling footsteps, the two square formations of ten thousand archers, each arranged on the left and right. Each of them had thirty arrows, and together they would be 300,000 arrows, which would be a fatal blow to any army.
Li Jue and Guo Si thought they were an Allied army, so they were very close to Qin Feng's battle formation when they were lined up. At this time, the archer phalanx coming from the right wing almost came up.
Qin Feng had only 20,000 people. It would be great if he was bullied by a square archer. He shot him in one round. At least tens of thousands of arrows fell on his head.
"Teleman!" Qin Feng looked at the Xiliang archers who were less than 500 steps away, and the faces of the soldiers in front of the formation were clearly visible, and said, "Go and tell Li Jue and let his archers get away with me!"
"Yes!" The messenger left the enemy.
Li Jue was furious when he heard this and said, "Qin Zi is the one who judges a gentleman's belly..."
Guo Si didn't look at the big and thick, and had a set of marching and fighting, and said, "The battle formation has been completed, and the soldiers are only waiting for the charge. If they are dispatched, they will inevitably extinguish the soldiers' spirit!"
"If you don't retreat, Qin Feng will inevitably be suspicious, and it will be unfavorable for me to attack later." He immediately ordered the flag to pass the imperial examination and said: "Let the cavalry detour left and right, and encircle the flanks of Lu Bu. The infantry directly attacked Lu Bu's central army, and the archers on the right retreated behind the infantry. Although the archers on the left were both out, the archers on the left were scattered Lu Bu's vanguard!"
The drums rumbling and the drum beats began to grow.
Lu Bu's eyes staring at the Xiliang army formation became cold. He knew that the drum beat was the prelude to the charge. He also had his own plans and must not confront the Xiliang army head-on in this battle. "If Qin Feng successfully attacked the Xiliang army in chaos, he would turn around and charge. If not, go back to Chang'an!"
Sure enough, after three breaths, the Western Liang cavalry suddenly galloped out without warning, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves immediately covered the drums. The earth shook for it. The cavalry of these two square formations divided into two and swept towards Lu Bu's left and right wings.
The 30,000 infantry soldiers immediately followed and began to attack Lu Bu's central army with shouts of killing.
However, the actions of Lu Bu's army made the generals and officers of the Western Liang army a little confused.
"Mingjin retreated, the cavalry troops scattered left and right to form a horn with the central formation. The archers were in the middle and shot the left and right sides!" Lu Bu was not stupid either. Seeing that the Western Liang army wanted to use cavalry to encircle him, he immediately passed the order for Mingjin to retreat without stopping.
Before he came, he had a meeting with his officers and formulated a series of retreat tactical plans.
After 30,000 Lu Bu troops quickly shot out five thousand cavalry in the rolling yellow sand, the remaining infantry horses immediately formed a thick and round formation. The archers were in the middle, the swords and shields were outside, and the spearmen hid behind and looked to the southeast and slowly left.
Amid the buzzing sound, Lu Bu's army's arrows covered the sky and sun and shot to both sides. At the same time, the cavalry that was in a horn also shot. The vanguard of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was galloping, so one or two of them were shot.
"Damn it!" Li Jie's long spear was in the ground and a hole was smashed. He didn't believe that Lu Bu could set up such a hedgehog array so quickly, so he must have thought about it before.
"The entire army attacks, first use our cavalry to strangle the Lu Bu cavalry, and then delay the time for their infantry to retreat. After the entire army is surrounded, Lu Bu will not escape!" Guo Si said hurriedly.
Following his words, Li Jue hurriedly waved the flag and ordered the cavalry to escape from contact with the enemy infantry battle formations and attacked and killed the enemy cavalry on both sides first.
More than 100,000 infantry advanced in full swing, and the yellow sand that was stepped on almost blocked the battle formation. With the rumbling sound, balls of yellow sand were chasing the Lu Bu army to the southeast. From a distance, there were almost balls of sandstorms chasing the Lu Bu army.
"The whole army is on guard and retreat five hundred steps!" Qin Feng smiled happily when he saw the two armies finally engaged in the battle. He thought to himself that this time, I won't kill you.
Qin Feng arranged the formation again, his plan was very simple, just wait for Li Jue and Guo Si's more than 100,000 troops to drive over, and then hang his tail and beat him up. He had 10,000 elite cavalry, including 5,000 heavy cavalry in the formation army and 5,000 light cavalry in the Huns army.
One person can cut ten thousand people with one knife. One person can cut ten thousand. One person can cut ten thousand.
Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that the cavalry has the advantage over the infantry. Without formation of infantry, it is completely slaughtered. The cavalry troops in later generations were like playing the same as killing the Japanese devils, let alone the infantry who only held spears in ancient times.
It is easier to hang behind the tail than to face scattered infantry head-on, so Qin Feng is very confident.
After the dust storm formed by rolling soldiers on the ground spread, it almost went southeastwards with the nose of the Qin army vanguard.
Just halfway through this sandstorm, three cavalry suddenly emerged from it and galloped in.
The one who came was the Xiliang Army's probing horse. Seeing the heavy cavalry in the formation and was amazed at the appearance of the strange knights, he hurriedly rolled off his horse and said, "General Qin, my general asks, why... when will the general pursue Lu Bu's army?"
Qin Feng smiled kindly and said, "Tell you the general. Let's go to the army now."
The horse was exploring the horse and left.
Just like Li Jue and Guo Si have chased him out for several miles. He has successfully eliminated Lu Bu's cavalry team, but Lu Bu's hedgehog formation is urgent and difficult to attack. He can only wait until 100,000 infantry gathers together.
Seeing that Qin Feng was still holding his troops, Li Jue said angrily: "This Qin Zijin is really hateful. He agreed to attack together, but now he is watching the wall!"
"It's okay. As long as Lu Bu's troops are annihilated, the money and food in Chang'an and Meiwu will be all in your and my pockets!" Guo Si sneered.
Qin Army side
Xu Shu looked at the rolling yellow sand to see the end. He rode his horse out and said, "Lord, the time has come..."
Qin Feng nodded slightly and said, "Zilong led the 5,000 Xiongnu Legion, Wen Yuan led the 5,000 troops to the formation, and the rest of the people were with me. Everyone smuggled into the Western Liang Army and each found their own targets. Wait for three cannons and kill the enemy at the same time!"
"Get orders!"
Xu Shu suddenly sweated, thinking that the Lord's use of troops was really weird. In the past, others attacked sneak attacks, which meant rushing over to attack the enemy, and caught the enemy off guard. There was never such a person who rushed into the battle formation and found a good target first. It turns out that this battle could still be fought like this!
Under Qin Feng's order, ten thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry soon poured into the sandstorm formed by the charge of the Western Liang army in front.
During the sandstorm, the Xiliang soldiers were surprised to see a large number of unfamiliar soldiers suddenly breaking in.
Someone wanted to take action, but was persuaded by his companions. He said, "These are Qin soldiers and our army's alliance."
The Xiliang soldiers received news yesterday. Today they will join forces with the Qin army to attack Lu Bu. Therefore, when they recognize it as the Qin army, they will not doubt that they are there. After all, the unity of the army has existed since ancient times.
Then he saw ten thousand cavalry holding big swords, looking at the necks of the Xiliang soldiers beside him, staring at the fiercely fiercely. He saw ten thousand infantry soldiers holding spears and fighting swords, aiming at the chests of the Xiliang soldiers beside him, gestured.
However, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang did not know at all, and some people were greeting each other kindly.
There was only three rumbling cannons, and Qin Feng shot straight, and immediately pierced a Xiliang soldier's chest.
A massacre kicked off...
With a uniform puff sound, ten thousand spears penetrated into the chest of the Xiliang soldiers, and ten thousand big swords cut off ten thousand heads!
In less than two seconds, the Qin army killed as many as 20,000 Xiliang soldiers.
For a moment, the blood spurted out of the chest flowed into a river, and the blood splashed out of the neck was like rain.
The 20,000 troops behind the palace fell to the ground in an instant, showing only the Qin soldiers who were covered in blood and murderous intent.
This is an unprecedented raid.
The Xiliang soldiers in the middle were stunned and subconsciously stopped moving forward. They stared at them, were there ambushers? But why was the Qin army okay?
"charge!"
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao issued an order almost at the same time. As Herodian neighed, ten thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the central army of Xiliang.
Qin Feng was also the first to take the lead and fought bravely to fight the enemy.
Nothing is more encouraging than seeing the leader on the front. The Qin army soldiers saw that the leader was fearless and their morale soared. They moved forward all the way in the artificial sandstorm, all competing for the first place!
"The Qin army has turned against each other! The Qin army has turned against each other!"
Li Jue and Guo Si were shocked to get the news and could hardly believe it. However, the chaos in the team later proved the accuracy of the news.
With the attack and killing of the Qin army, chaos swept across the entire Xiliang army, causing all infantry to stop advancing. In the yellow sand, soldiers did not know their generals, and generals did not know their soldiers.
When Lu Bu, who was anxiously waiting, saw the chaos of the Xiliang army, he knew that Qin Feng had succeeded. He shouted happily: "The Xiliang army is in chaos, and I am passing the order. The back team will change to the front team, gather again, and the whole army will assault!"
The sound of killing in the yellow sand was shouting, and the neighing of the horse shook the sky. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu were all extremely brave. In addition, Lu Bu, in just one stick of incense, killed the Xiliang army into a defeat.
"The whole army retreats, retreat!" There were shadows in the rolling yellow sand, as if they were all enemy soldiers. Li Jue ordered in a frightened and furious manner.
"Damn Qin Zijin, he turned against the enemy at the last minute, despicable and shameless!" Guo Si cursed, not expecting that he was still planning how to raid the Qin army after destroying Lu Bu, thus capturing all the two of them in one go.
In this battle, the Qin and Lu coalition forces defeated the Xiliang army with 50,000 people, killed 70,000 enemies, and seized countless armed and war horses.
As the side to lure the enemy, Lu Bu, who fought against more than 100,000 Xiliang Army in the early stage, suffered a great loss. The cavalry was almost completely lost, and the infantry also lost 30% of the battle. At present, the total number of the entire army is only 20,000 people left.
On the other hand, Qin Feng's side suffered minimal losses because it was a sneak attack and elite cavalry took the lead. The cavalry lost 500, most of them were the Xiongnu light cavalry, and the infantry lost 1,000.
Half an hour later, the smoke of gunpowder disappeared and the dust fell to the ground.
On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, swords and guns were everywhere, war horses were guarding the master and screaming, and wounded soldiers were wailing with their wounds.
Qin Feng and Lu Bu each restrained their troops and lined up to face each other again.
"Qin Zijin..." Lu Bu suffered heavy losses in this battle and was unwilling to talk to Qin Feng for a while.
However, for Qin Feng, fighting for dominance is all enemies except for himself, but you will be happy only if you die. He waved his hand and said, "Zilong, order the Xiongnu cavalry to gather war horses and collect weapons..."
Zhao Yun then led the Huns' legions to scatter and began to gather the spoils. All the Huns' knights were from horses, and they were all in the process of gathering horses.
Lu Bu lost his troops and generals, and when he saw Qin Feng robbing the spoils, he was furious, rode his horse out, waved Fang Tian's painting halberd and said, "Qin Zijin, don't bully people too much!"
"Why, do you want to fight another battle?" Qin Feng dragged the Zhenwu Tai Chi spear and rode on the White Dragon Horse for two steps.
Chapter completed!
