Chapter 380: The war will start
Chapter 380: The war is about to begin
When Deng's army and others were trying to deal with the cavalry of Zhao, the Divine Arm Bow proposed by Yao Guangxiao made everyone see hope. The Divine Arm Bow is a killing weapon of Deng's country. After Deng Sheng destroyed the Jing Kingdom, he formed three elite troops, namely the Modao Army, the Divine Arm Camp, and the Crane Camp, which were controlled by Li Siye, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. In the Changshe War, these three elite troops also burst out with strong strength, so everyone was very confident in the Divine Arm Bow, but the problem now is that the Divine Arm Bow is in the hands of Zhang Liao's Divine Arm Camp, and they don't have it here, but Yue Fei's words made everyone rekindle hope.
Everyone turned their eyes to Yue Fei. What Yue Fei said just now is that the Divine Arm Bow is not just the Divine Arm Camp, what does this mean? Could it be that Deng State has another Divine Arm Camp?
Yue Fei faced everyone's eyes, smiled and said, "You all know that the reason why the king only formed the five thousand divine arm camp back then was ultimately because my great Deng was not strong and had too little foundation, so he could not form more divine arm camps. However, the great Deng is no longer the same as before. Although there are only 10,000 people in the divine arm camp now, the divine arm bow can form 50,000 soldiers. This time, I also asked the king for these divine arm bows. However, the previous war was too smooth and the divine arm bow did not have room to display, so I will continue to attract it. But it seems that it is time now!"
When everyone heard Yue Fei's words, they were also overjoyed. Now that they had the Divine Arm Bow, plus 100,000 cavalry and Modao Army, there was a way to deal with the cavalry of Zhao. As for the infantry field, it was not that Deng looked down on Zhao, but it was really not worth mentioning compared to Deng.
"The time is tight now, and the war is imminent. We only have three days to select a group of soldiers to control the Divine Arm Bow. The number of people is temporarily set at 20,000. We will give priority to select soldiers with relatively large arm strength in the army. This part will be left to the Lingser Guard. Who needs to be directly recruited? No matter which guard it is, even the personal guard of our general can do it!" Time is tight now, only three days, of course Yue Fei and others also know that it is impossible to train an elite force comparable to the Divine Arm Bow in three days. After all, the Divine Arm Bow has been in 20 years since its establishment. It has been 20 years since its establishment. It has been so strong that Yue Fei has been able to choose soldiers with strong arm strength in the army. They don't have to be like the Divine Arm Bow. As long as they can skillfully control the Divine Arm Bow.
"Here! Please rest assured, the general, will definitely train an elite force to protect the decisive battle in three days!" Murong Ke, the general of the Lingser Guard, stepped forward and replied. After receiving the order, Murong Ke was also very happy. This is not just to take on this task and make contributions, but more because of the Divine Arm Bow. At the time, Zhang Liao was the general of the Lingser Guard, so naturally the Divine Arm Camp was also of the Lingser Guard. Murong Ke can be said to be very clear about the power of the Divine Arm Bow. However, when Zhang Liao was the general of the Shence Guard, he took the Divine Arm Camp away. This made Murong Ke feel very sorry. Now he finally has the opportunity to take over the Divine Arm Bow. Murong Ke is so happy, let alone as long as he can make great contributions with the Divine Arm Bow this time, these batches of Divine Arm Bows are likely to fall into the hands of the Lingser Guard in the future. By then, Murong Ke can completely form a Divine Arm Camp by himself.
Since the problem of cavalry was solved, Yue Fei explained the arrangement of troops during the decisive battle. In the war three days later, the Deng army still needed to rely on the power of the general. The Zhao army's soldiers were not weak and were comparable to the Deng army, but the quality of the Zhao army's general was far inferior to that of the Deng army. Yue Fei had no reason not to use such an advantage. As long as all the generals of the Zhao army were knocked down, even if the Zhao army's soldiers were strong, it would be useless.
After the pre-war meeting, Murong Ke happily led a group of generals of the Spirit Snake Guards, and the Central Army General Man of the camp to select soldiers. Finally, he collected 20,000 people. At the same time, he also took the Divine Arm Bow from Yue Fei and started training.
Three days passed quickly. On the tenth day of April 22, the 22nd year of Qianyuan, the armies of Deng and Zhao met 30 miles away from Jiyang City. This place was already very close to the Jishui River and was also a battlefield selected by Yue Fei and Zhang Chuan. The terrain here is flat, which is conducive to the implementation of cavalry.
Among the Deng army, Yue Fei looked at the Zhao army formation opposite, and the Zhao army still put the cavalry at the forefront as always. This is the usual style of fighting in Zhao State. Even Zhao Xin relied on this formation to defeat powerful enemies many times. Zhang Chuan, who has always regarded himself as the heir of Zhao Xin, naturally has full confidence in this formation. The impact of Zhao State cavalry cannot be stopped casually.
"General Han, it seems that Zhao's military skills have been poor for many years. Such a formation has not changed at all!" Yue Fei said to Han Qing, who was standing on his right.
"The people of Zhao are still as confident as ever, but then again, even if Zhang Chuan wants to change, he cannot do it casually, let alone he has no ability to change. Even if Zhao Xin was as strong as Zhao Xin back then, he could only rely on this formation. What can Zhang Chuan do?" Han Qing sneered. When talking about his understanding of the Zhao army formation, Han Qing recognized the second, but no one dared to recognize the first. After all, when Han Qing was in Qi, he had no idea how many times he had fought with Zhao Xin. He could tell the Zhao army's formation.
Chang Yuchun on the left side of Yue Fei also smiled and said, "I have to say that the Zhao army's formation style is basically crushed as long as it does not meet a cavalry power like Qin. Unfortunately, Zhang Chuan met us this time. He would teach the people of Zhao a profound lesson if he said today, so that they know that there is nothing great about having too many cavalry."
Yue Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Send the order to prepare for war, and order Murong Ke and Li Siye ahead to see the general's flag. If there is any mistake, I will not be polite to them!"
The Deng army's arrangement this time was also very particular. First, the sword and shield soldiers were arranged in front of the formation to cover up the existence of the Shenbang Camp. Then, after the sword and shield soldiers, the Shenbang Camp was Mo Dao Army, and the two sides were also Longxiang Guards and Shenxing Guards, and finally Yue Fei's central army. This formation had only one purpose, that is, to solve the impact of the Zhao cavalry and put the rhythm of the battlefield into what Deng army could control. As long as the Shenbang Camp restrained the charge of the Zhao cavalry, the Mo Dao Army and Longxiang Guard behind them could directly join the battlefield and even attack the Zhao army's central army. After all, the Zhao army did not have killing weapons such as the Star Destroyer Crossbow and the Shenbang Bow, and the Deng army's cavalry was still very sure.
In the Deng army's front army, Murong Ke was ordered by Yue Fei, stared at the front with a serious expression, and said to Yue Yun beside him: "General Yue, you arrange for the soldiers to take bows and arrows, and wait for the General Yue's order flag to move, and let the sword and shield soldiers disperse, and shoot the general Zhao army into a hornet's nest."
Yue Yun nodded fiercely and said, "Don't worry, General, let's make arrangements in person!" After that, Yue Yun left Murong Ke and went down to pass the order.
Time passed, and the Deng and Zhao armies confronted each other for an hour, but refused to start the war. This made Yue Fei a little anxious. He originally planned to stop and wait for the Zhao army to launch an attack, but now Zhang Chuan was very calm and there was no sign of Zhao army rushing over. Yue Fei suddenly frowned and ordered: "Transmission, sword and shield soldiers, Shen'an Arm Camp, Longxiang Guard, Shenxing Guard, and Shenxing Guard slowly!"
"Here!" The flag bearer responded, then waved the order flag. After seeing it, Murong Ke and others in front ordered: "Go forward slowly!"
With the order, the Deng army's front army began to advance steadily, while the central army remained in place. Zhang Chuan, the Zhao army's central army, saw that the Deng army had moved, and then ordered: "Send the order. When the Deng army is still five hundred steps away from our army, the cavalry will launch an attack. We must break through the first line of defense of the Deng army for the general!"
One thousand steps, eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, the Deng army was getting closer and closer. When the Deng army's front army entered the range of five hundred steps, Chuan Zhang ordered people to wave the order flag, and more than 100,000 elite cavalry of the Zhao army rushed towards the Deng army like black clouds pressing over.
Yue Fei, who was behind, suddenly laughed when he saw this scene. This was the result he wanted. In fact, as the Zhao army was getting closer and closer in the Deng army's front army, Yue Fei was also very anxious. If Zhang Chuan was still motionless, would he let the front army attack the Zhao army? Obviously this was impossible.
