It was another dawn, but this morning, the clouds were overcast, and the sky hung over his head like an eroded grayish-yellow jade.

The morning sun hides behind the clouds, leaving only a spot of light faintly across the sky. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info surrounded by thin smoke, distant trees and flowers, and water and mountains, and the atmosphere is depressing.

After rushing for a night, Zhao Yuan led the army to finally come to the city of Guze, and after setting up camp, he listened to Sun Chushan's report on the reconnaissance situation, and arranged a few things at hand, and the big tent was quiet. Zhao Yuan put his hand against his forehead, sat in front of the case and took a nap, not sleeping for a while. There was the sound of soldiers running outside the tent, and the probe horse came in to report: "Your Majesty, Liu Hao, the leader of Guze City, led the coalition forces of the three pillar countries to set up a red flame eight-way chariot formation outside the city, and is calling for a battle in front of the camp. ”

Zhao Yuan listened to it and smiled coldly: "He is in a hurry." ”

At this time, the generals of each battalion came to the tent one after another, and Zhao Yuan said: "The enemy has called for battle in front of the battalion, which general will go to meet the battle?" ”

Zhuangwu General Sun Fen came out and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the battle!" ”

Xuanwei General Fang Taiyan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the battle!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan said: "General Zhuangwu went to meet the battle, and General Xuanwei pressed the formation. Remember, since Liu Hao dares to come to call the battle, he must be fully prepared, you must be careful! ”

The two of them were ordered to go out of the big tent.

In the open field outside Guze City, more than 100 two-wheeled chariots were lined up, each with two tall horses, and three soldiers, all wearing iron armor, covered with huge gray curtains. On the side of the chariot stood a column of 2,000 infantrymen, and behind the chariot were about a thousand cavalry.

Sun Fen and Fang Taiyan led 30,000 cavalry out of the camp, lined up in front of the chariot array, Sun Fen looked carefully, and saw that there was no mystery in this array, the chariot moved slowly, and the turning and retreating were not as light as the cavalry's movements, and they had already been eliminated in the Central Plains. Coupled with the Huaiyang snake tail knife formation he saw before, Sun Fenxin said, it is mostly a bluff thing, and he is afraid that he will do something.

So he gave an order, led 20,000 cavalry, divided the left and right roads, and attacked the infantry phalanx next to the chariot, hoping to use this as a breakthrough and use the impact and speed of the cavalry to defeat this formation in one fell swoop.

After observing the enemy formation, Fang Taiyan wanted to discuss the battle strategy with Sun Fen, but before he could speak, Sun Fen had already led the team to rush out. There was no way, Fang Taiyan had to order the remaining soldiers to put on a posture, prepare bows, and cheer for Sun Fen.

That Liu Hao rode a horse and stood in the formation, and when he saw the Qi army rushing over, he held high the red battle flag, waved it left and right, and the chariot formation immediately changed formations. The chariot, which was originally in the middle, was now swung to the outside in a crescent shape, and the infantry that was originally outside retreated behind the chariot stealthily.

The three soldiers on the chariot, one riding a horse, one took out a sharp halberd with a length of eight feet from the side of the carriage, the tip of the halberd was placed outward, and the other held up a black and brown iron-clad heavy wooden shield, standing in front of the cart to protect the people on the chariot.

Sun Fen led the cavalry to rush over, and suddenly encountered the guards changing formations, knowing that it was not good, he urgently ordered everyone to slow down, but it was too late, the cavalry rushing to the front could not stop, and even the people and horses rushed to the halberd, and the blood was splashed in all directions for a while, and the people turned over on their backs, wailing all over the field.

Due to the crescent-shaped chariot and the large area of the attack, the cavalry suffered heavy casualties the further forward, and Sun Fen wanted to find a weak point to attack, so he ordered the soldiers to retreat.

But how could the guards give him such an opportunity, as soon as the halberd in the chariot took advantage, the infantry behind the chariot came out of it, wielding steel knives in their hands, swinging left and right, specializing in chopping horse legs.

Although the smelting technology of the southern countries is not as good as that of the Qi country, the horse leg of this meat is still more than enough. In an instant, the war horse of the Qi State fell, and the cavalry on the horse fell out of control, and as soon as he landed, before he could react, he was killed by the guards waiting below.

Fang Taiyan saw the setback of the Qi army in the distance, and urgently ordered the soldiers to go into the sky to protect the cavalry retreat. The bow body of the Drill Sky Piercing is huge, and it takes three soldiers to step on their hands to hold it open, and it can fire three pieces at a time, with a range of 300 steps, and the impact is extremely strong.

The guards saw that the Qi army was shooting from the sky, and the formation did not panic, and the crescent-shaped chariot quickly approached, the person with the shield on the chariot moved forward, and the rest of the soldiers quickly hid behind the shield.

The shield and the chariot were placed at a 60-degree angle to slow down the impact, so that although the middle was in the middle, the soldiers behind the shield were not casualties.

Fang Taiyan saw that the Drill Heaven Drill didn't have much effect, and he was shocked for a while: "Liu Hao's name as the King of Tuota is not given in vain. But he still ordered the soldiers to continue to fire and not stop for a moment.

Under the Qi army's Drill Heaven Attack, although the Wei army suffered few casualties, its sharp spirit was suppressed, buying time for Sun Fen's retreat. Seeing this scene, Sun Fen ordered all the soldiers to withdraw first, and after breaking himself, he quickly fled back to the Daqi military camp. After returning to the camp, there were only 5,000 of the 20,000 cavalry.

In the big tent, Sun Fen and Fang Taiyan knelt below, there was no sound around them, they were in a cold sweat on their backs, they were defeated in the first battle, and they were waiting for the emperor's punishment.

No wonder the two of them are so worried, this time the Qi army went to Pingnan without tasting defeat, just when the momentum was rising, the impact of this defeat on the morale of the army is difficult to estimate for a while.

Zhao Yuan looked at the two of them and said slowly: "When you see this chariot array this time, do you have a way to break the enemy?" ”

Sun Fen arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the power of this array lies in the fact that it can effectively defuse the front and impact of the cavalry, but because the chariot is crescent-shaped, the east and west rear flanks are its weak underbelly. ”

"If the minister is given another chance, the minister will first send troops to attack from the front to confuse the enemy, and then attack the rear flank with the main force, and he will definitely win in one fell swoop."

After a deep sigh, Zhao Yuan's gaze fell on Fang Taiyan: "Do General Fang and General Sun have the same opinion?" ”

Fang Taiyan hesitated and said: "The minister didn't think of a strategy to break the enemy for a while, but after listening to what General Sun said just now, I feel that it makes sense. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there a way to break the enemy?" Zhao Yuan asked the minister standing in the account.

Everyone bowed their heads and was silent, even the expression on Fuyue's face was a little dazed.

"General Zhuangwu and General Xuanwei will go to meet the battle again, if they are defeated this time, they will be dealt with by military law!" Zhao Yuan said categorically.

Sun Fen and Fang Taiyan got up and went out of the account. When the troops were ordered out of the camp outside the tent, the two of them were very silent, this battle must be won, and they both knew in their hearts that this array was changing, whether Sun Fen's method would work or not, and no one could guarantee the vote.

Out of the camp gate, Sun Fen stood in front of the cavalry, and roared loudly: "The military order has been issued, I must defeat the enemy when I go here!" Outside Guze City, if this battle is won, it will become famous overnight, and if Weijia is defeated, if this battle is defeated, the three-foot Qingfeng, a war horse, there is no return! ”

Seeing this, Sun Fen and Fang Taiyan each led 10,000 cavalry to rush towards the north and south flanks of the Red Flame Bafang Chariot Array.
