Chapter 7 In the fierce battle, Happy New Year's Eve!
?Yuwen Wen stood in the military formation and looked at the trench about fifty steps away directly in front of him (west), and was stunned. There were many soldiers of the South Army who had filled a large section of the trench with shields, so he had a bad premonition: The trench is used to prevent cavalry from impacting, so why do you fill it?
The camp here guards cross the river and fuqiao. The original purpose was to wait for the main force of Anzhou to capture Fancheng in the southwest before turning back, so it only needed to guard for three or four days. The arc-shaped trenches dug around the camp were not very deep but relatively wide, in order to prevent cavalry from raiding rather than preventing infantry from coming.
He felt that now he was marching around three small villages on the left, middle and right. Behind the small village is the main village, and behind the main village is the river. Logically speaking, there is no condition for cavalry to encircle. Could the other party's general surnamed Yang want to use cavalry?
I didn't see any siege equipment on the other side to push over. The behavior of filling the trench obviously tells everyone, "I'm going to dispatch cavalry!"
Yuwen Wen looked back and thought about it. Even if the opponent used cavalry to rush through the defense line, he couldn't hold back the horse and ran a little longer and rushed into the river. Could it be that the opponent's horses were too much to be able to afford to take the opportunity to consume some?
The military leader Chen Wudi saw him frowning and asked what was wrong. Yuwen Wen said that he was worried about the other party filling the trench and said that Chen Wudi was not very confident after thinking for a while. Could it be that the other party was coming to our formation?
"I was so busy that I was willing to use cavalry... Could it be the Fire Bull Formation?" Yuwen Wen murmured to himself and looked around and saw that there seemed to be no bulls on the other side. He was relieved before. When he read classic novels, he often saw any allusions of the Fire Bull Formation in it, so he was afraid that the other party would use this trick.
The Fire Bull Formation was first used by Tian Dan during the Warring States Period. During the reign of King Zhao of Yan, General Le Yi, the general of the State of Yan, led the coalition forces of the six countries to break through dozens of cities in Qi, and finally came to the city of Jimo.
At a critical moment, King Zhao of Yan passed away and King Hui of Yan ascended the throne. He had disliked Le Yi at first and felt that the only king in Qi State was left with Jimo City, which was the king of Jimo City, could be taken down without relying on you, so you could die.
The Yan army replaced a waste commander, so Tian Dan, the general of Qi army opposite, began to use the final trick to use the fire bull formation. He tied the oil-soaked reeds to the cow's tail and tied a sharp knife on the horns. He prepared a total of 1,000 cows to wait until the moon was dark and the wind was high to kill people. He lit the ox tail and then herded the cattle to take away the Yan army outside the city.
Yuwen Wen didn't want his spear square array to be taken away in one wave, so he began to "dark" speculate again about what the general named Yang on the opposite side wanted to do. The sound of killing sounds shook the sky and formed a strange background music, but it had no effect on him.
He felt that the legendary water attack was touched by him, so it was hard to say what kind of fire bull formation was. He had so many spears standing up like trees on the battlefield, so cool and conspicuous, and arrogant, and inevitably had some bad thoughts on the other side.
The soldiers of the Zhengnan Army, who had originally surrounded the square formation of spears, were walking to both sides involuntarily when they came forward to die. They would rather fight with the "normal" Anzhou Army and exchange their lives for one's life than to die in vain.
The sound of a trumpet sounded, and the soldiers of the Southern Army who besieged Anzhou Army turned around and looked at the Central Army. They saw that the two big flags were waving to the left and right respectively. Seeing this, they threw down their spear formations in front of them and avoided them on both sides.
During the sudden dust of the warriors, many cavalry rode out and rushed straight towards the Central Village of Anzhou Army, which was directly opposite. The first thing they were hit was the long spear formation lined up in front of Zhongzhai.
Seeing the opponent's spear formation with cavalry, Yuwen Wen's blood surged upwards, he was about to be in a position to fight against the opponent's cavalry just after the first battle with the regular army. How could he not be excited?
It hurts to fight! My two-meter-long spear has been forming a horse blood for a long time!
Yuwen Wen's Swiss phalanx formed his own "Raish" phalanx, and even his weapons were the same. The scribble used two-meter-long "spikes". Nowadays, the horse lances used by cavalry are not that long. If they rode a horse and rushed to the formation, they did not stab the spearmen, but were stabbed first by the spears.
It is true that the cavalry on the battlefield is very powerful, but to rush against the spearmen who have been fully prepared after the formation is to seek death. Yuwen Wen decided to let the phalanx resist the casualties caused by the impact of the cavalry to teach the other party to be a human being.
In order to train the soldiers not to be afraid of cavalry charges, he asked the new recruits to undergo cavalry shock training from the second day after they entered the camp. When these young men were trained for the first time, they were all scared and their faces were bloodless. They tossed and struggled for nearly half a month before they could be treated normally.
Then after several months of torture, they could already describe it as numb to the cavalry charge, so Yuwen Wen did not think that the soldiers would panic about the upcoming cavalry charge.
Behind Zhongzhai, Yang Ji and Tian Zhengyue, the owner of the bow and arrow tower, Hao Dadan looked forward on the wall of the village on the right. They also saw the galloping cavalry rushed straight towards their own square formation.
To be fair, they are very sure whether their spear formation can withstand the impact of cavalry of this size, but this looks too strange. Judging from the other party's posture, it seems that they are going to die together.
Because behind the square formation is the village wall, even if the other party is confident that it can penetrate the spear formation, then it will crash directly into the village wall and die on the spot.
They found it a bit incredible: it took a long time to practice skilled skills, let alone the value of war horses is much more expensive than ordinary horses. What do the opponent's general think?
Yang Ji stared at the cavalry galloping towards the other side and suddenly changed his expression and shouted loudly: "They just used bad horses to rush forward, dodge, dodge!"
After hearing this, Yuwen Wen also noticed that the situation was wrong and then his heart jumped up because he saw something strange about the other party's "cavalry"!
The cavalry had but were arranged on both sides. There were indeed horses in the middle rather than grass and mud horses, but the horse did not look like a spirited war horse, and the cavalry on both sides seemed to be holding the inferior horses in the middle to control the direction of their running.
The direction was facing his own square formation, and these bastards were going to use bad horses to rush forward!
Yuwen Wen didn't mind playing with Jingui's cavalry, but it wouldn't work with a bad horse that didn't ride on it. Soul-don't let us make an appointment!
"The central army and the left formation go to the left, and the front formation and the front formation go to the right!" Yuwen Wen shouted at the top of his lungs. The military leader Chen Wudi and the central army leader Chen Qijin also found that the opposite side was not right and shouted loudly.
It would be too late to rely on trumpet command at this time!
The three square arrays of the left, front and right are now lined up in a row in a row. The owners of the pavilions responded quickly and immediately shouted at the top of their lungs.
Suddenly changing the formation, the spearmen trained the training every day and competed every five days and were almost conditioned reflexive. He heard that the head of the lord, the team leader, the team leader, and the head of the team passed the orders one by one, and they followed the commands neatly.
Just kidding, every time the formation changes, everyone can drink wine, who doesn’t want to drink it!
It was almost time to say that four square arrays in the front three and back were at first signs of separation from left and right. The horses on the opposite side were already approaching the trench, and the cavalry holding the horses on both sides began to turn to the left and right sides to avoid the trench.
When the horses stepped on the filled trench, the distance between the left and right square arrays was seven or eight steps away. When they rushed to the original position of the formation, the left and right square arrays made a channel.
But the soldiers of Anzhou soldiers behind them were not so lucky to watch hundreds of meters of horses hitting them. They couldn't dodge at all, either being knocked away by horses, trampled to death or even being hit by several people one after another by a horse.
The tail was on fire, and the sides of his eyes were blocked and could only see the horses in front of him could not hold back their hooves and hit the wall of Zhongzhai Village. Only loud noises and screams were heard. Then the rumbling sound of the wall was broken and stirred up waves of dust.
Both sides were stunned. After a brief silence on the battlefield, shouts burst out from the sky and the soldiers on both sides began to fight.
The battle situation is very unfavorable to the Anzhou army. The spear quadron that had been crossing the front of Zhongzhai hastily changed its formation into left and right. Although it avoided the horse tribe, it made way for the middle lane. Now the quadrons on both sides have been stuck by the enemy and cannot be closed again. The wall of Zhongzhai was smashed and no one was blocked in front of it.
Yang Su in the Central Army of the Southern Army looked at the plan of killing two birds, and at least got a "bird" nodded slightly and ordered the drum to beat: "Press up all!"
The sound of drums aroused the fighting spirit of the entire army of the Southern Army. The reserve soldiers who were waiting in the second echelon to step forward and finish the attack rushed towards the Central Village of Anzhou, hundreds of steps away like a tide. As long as they broke through the Zhongzhai, the Zuozhai and the Right Village would not last too long.
They knew that the main camps of the three small villages of Anzhou Army would not be able to be defended for long, so it would be no problem to finish work before dinner!
"Roar in, no one left!" An infantry team of the South Expedition Army was leading dozens of people toward Zhongzhai. On both sides were the daunting spear formation, but the team felt that the other party could not move around in a formation...
Before he could finish his eyes, he saw that the soldiers on both sides of the spear arrays leaning against him were moving, and they actually attacked him!
The enemy was defeated by the enemy's advancing and retreating, and the small group of soldiers with less than 30 people were instantly stabbed and no one left was left, but more soldiers also rushed here. They wanted to break through the defense line before the attacking spearmen closed, so that the break could no longer be closed!
The dust in the middle village was flying, and there were horse corpses and broken wooden fences. The figures swayed in the dust and fog. Then a group of people rushed out with long swords. They passed through the spearmen trying to "sew" the breakthrough point to face the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army who were rushing towards them.
Everyone with the long sword soldiers was extremely terrifying with the skeleton mask, even in broad daylight, they frightened the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army who rushed over and were about to fight to the death, and then they lost their lives after being stunned.
First, one person had an unstoppable sword, and first cut off half of his head in front of him and then grabbed him as a flesh shield and knocked him into the crowd. The sword light turned around and several people died on the spot.
The momentum of the assault of the Southern Army was disrupted by such a killing god, and then more skeleton masked people rushed in and started killing like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
They all held swords with both hands and were agile, and the five-foot sword danced with a cold light. Many soldiers stepped forward to fight, but few of them fought for three rounds and waited for a few bold ones to be cut over. After the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army began to hesitate and stalemate with each other.
The spear arrays on both sides took the opportunity to merge together and turned into a long array to block the gap behind him. The gap created by the group of horses that suddenly rushed over was gone.
The other terrified Anzhou soldiers fought back and maintained the front again. They were still lined up with Zhongzhai as the core and stood between the left and right wings, Zhongzhai and Right siege. The spear formation under Yuwen Wen command formed a hollow rectangle across the front of Zhongzhai.
The hollow rectangle was awkward at first, but it twisted in full force. It finally seemed to be horizontal and vertical and vertical like two walls to protect the gap in Zhongzhai behind. The long sword soldiers who had rushed out immediately retreated into the square formation.
Looking at the dense spears and watching the left and right Anzhou troops firmly protecting the flanks of the spear formation, the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army were stunned for a moment and rushed up under the supervision of the team officials.
However, they all fell in front of the spear formation without any surprise. Just when the spearmen were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a new group of new forces from the Conquest Army entered the battle.
Their primary target is the Anzhou Army's long spear formation, but the well-equipped ones are obviously different from other soldiers. They wear trunk sleeve armor and iron helmets and masks, and hold shields in their left hand and short spears in their right hand to advance.
Seeing the momentum of these new forces, Yuwen Wen and his generals looked solemn: the other party sent elite infantrymen to forcefully break the formation.
The opponent's tactics were obvious: he used the shield to approach and then threw the short gun in his hand. The short gun was thrown at the spearmen who held guns in both hands without shields, almost stabbing them one by one. Then these guys who looked like veterans of hundreds of wars would draw their swords and sacrifice to rush forward.
Chapter completed!
