Chapter 222: Crane Wings Soaring into the Sky
In the next ten days, Jiang Mei and the generals organized the sergeants to practice the formation, and all the soldiers looked solemn and did not slack off, and everyone was riveting to attack Chang'an in one fell swoop and gnaw the hardest bones of the Northern Expedition.
On June 30, the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the corner tower of Chang'an City, a huge squeak sounded, and the south gate of Chang'an City slowly opened, like a vast old man who mustered up a breath of courage for the last struggle.
Then the iron hooves were like thunder, the shouts shook the sky, and a large number of Yan soldiers rushed out of the city to meet their most important battle of life and death.
When Xiao Moheng led 100,000 elites to resist outside Chang'an City, he had already seen the Yan army waiting in formation. Xiao Moheng and Yun Wuxian stepped onto the high platform set up in advance, looking at the soldiers of the Yan Army in the distance, Jiang Mei had hardly been alone with Xiao Moheng since that day, at this time, the two faced the imposing Yan Army, and couldn't help but sigh at the rigor of Beihe's army, as long as Beihe was still there, even if the Yan Army experienced many failures, it still did not change its brave and confident momentum.
Looking from afar, there was a four-wheeled vehicle in the Yan army array, and there was an old man in a white shirt standing on the car, that peerless demeanor, that proud momentum, just like an unshakable mountain, Jiang Mei's pupils shrank, and she looked at him in a daze for a moment, and today she has been waiting for fifteen years, it's time to make a break...
"The name of the North Crane is indeed worthy of its name!" Xiao Moheng admired in his heart, "He is the god in Yan Jun's heart, and it is their faith!" ”
"Your Highness is right, so let's break this myth today. Destroy the faith of the Yan Army! Jiang Mei's eyes were clear, without a trace of variegation.
Xiao Moheng smiled proudly, turned his head to look at Jiang Mei, and said with a smile: "Military advisor, this king ordered you to capture Beihe and take Chang'an!" "In the pure and elegant light, the domineering and majesty of the king are not hidden.
Jiang Mei's eyes lit up, a bright smile flashed, and she replied loudly: "Command without a trace!" ”
Then he got up and walked down the high platform quickly, looking at the car formation of the commander of the Chinese army.
Now. Xiao Moheng stood on the high platform. Looking calmly at the two armies who were waiting for battle, Yan Sui, Yue Hua and Qin Xin stood beside him.
In the middle army formation of the Huan army, Jiang Mei stood calmly, and her side stood Luo Jue, Jiuzhu and Chen Jingyan. Jiuzhu is in charge of keeping her safe. And Jingyan assists her in giving orders.
In the Yan army on the opposite side. Kitatsuru slowly got up. Looking at the Huan army on the opposite side like a black cloud pressing down on the city, the corners of his mouth smiled lightly, and there was a touch of alienation. There is a touch of admiration that has to be admitted. At this moment, he seems to be like an old man who has seen through everything in the world, and his expression is calm and calm.
It's just that, compared to his calm and relaxed complexion, at this moment his heart is a ruthless spirit, this battle, if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent!
Beihe first glanced at Xiao Moheng standing on the high platform, smiled helplessly, and looked at the man in white in the position of the other party's coach steadily, is this Xiao Moheng too powerful, or is he too relieved, he actually watched from the wall and handed over the 100,000 troops to a young man.
Beihe stands next to Sima Yu Yanbo in the palace, since he sent Rong Zhang away the night before, only Yu Yanbo is left around him, if this battle is won, then Rong Zhang can come back, if defeated, then Rong Zhang will take care of the only bloodline of the palace.
"Sir, Huan Jun actually let an unknown man be in the handsome formation, it's really too deceitful!" Yu Yanbo pointed at Jiang Mei in the formation and said angrily.
Beihe glanced at him and motioned for him to ask out loud, Yu Yanbo stood in front of the car and shouted loudly: "Who are you who dare to face Mr. Beihe?" ”
Jiang Mei smiled freely, and replied loudly: "There is no trace in the clouds, I have heard Mr. Da's name for a long time, and I can see Mr. today, like a high mountain, I have no regrets in this life!" ”
Beihe smiled contemptuously and replied lightly: "The old man is deaf and dazzled, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" The voice was vigorous and vigorous, and those who heard it could not help but feel reverence.
"Haha...."Jiang Meilang said with a smile, "In Xia Bucai, under the nose of Mr., I took the two cities of Nanyang and Xinye, today I specially asked Mr. for the formation, I hope Mr. will not hesitate to give advice!" ”
As soon as Jiang Mei's voice fell, Beihe was secretly frightened, it turned out that he quietly went deep into the rear of the Yan army and captured two cities, a person with such courage and courage should not be underestimated.
Beihe didn't answer him, and raised his hand lightly, and Yan Jun was already beating drums and cheering.
Jiang Mei didn't panic when she saw the situation, but quietly looked at Yan Jun's formation, "Brother Luo, the first formation of Beihe is really a gossip formation, since this is the case, we will follow the plan!" Jiang Mei said to Luo Jue. Luo Jue nodded, and didn't say much.
"Raise the flag! Position! Jiang Mei commanded Jing Yan.
Chen Jingyan then unfurled the flag, and the war drums on both sides suddenly thundered, and the Huan army quickly listed the formation, all in order!
Wanquan array, the Chinese army is in the center, two infantry phalanxes on both sides, two rows of cavalry phalanxes in front and back, and two cavalry phalanxes on the left and right flanks, with a magnificent momentum and a strong lineup. Gao Chi was in front of the battle, Mu Bai was behind the battle, Ling Heng and Hao Zhanwei were on the left and on the right, Tao was the general of the Chinese army, and the infantry generals on both sides were Shang Zhi and Chu Yutang. The other generals waited for the dispatch.
Beihe only has less than 50,000 soldiers, and Jiangmei only uses 50,000 soldiers, as Xiao Moheng said, the Huan army still has ambushes on both sides.
When Beihe saw this formation, he shook his head and chuckled: "The Huan army has set up such a bulky formation, if it is not to lead him to attack, our army can break through from both wings!" ”
"Haha... Today, who can compare to Mr. Yu Yanbo said with a smile, Beihe said this, at least he had a little more confidence in his heart.
Jiang Mei didn't think so, this formation was just for Beihe to see, and after the formation stabilized a little, Jing Yan faced the left side, and the flag was stretched forward. Ling Heng led three thousand cavalry and rushed towards Beihe's formation.
The Bagua Array is set up with eight doors of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, and the door of opening, rest, and birth is the auspicious door, and the death, shock, and injury are the murder doors, and the two doors of Du and Jing are the flat gates.
Ling Heng rushed in from the east gate, went to the southwest to break the gate, and then opened the door from the north, but at this time, the gate of the Yan army was closed, and the formation was overlapped, and the Huan army could not find an exit for a while, so they had to rush in the formation, and the infantry of the Yan army formed a small phalanx in the formation. The shield soldiers were outside, and the spearmen inside pierced their spears from the cracks in the shields to attack and kill the Huan army. The Huan army in the formation soon fell in a batch.
"The North Crane has changed formations, gossip has turned into Taiji, and the exit has been closed!" Jiang Mei said calmly. She had already instructed Ling Heng to take the iron cavalry around her to run in the formation, and at the same time, the cavalry on both sides protected Ling Heng's safety.
Immediately, in order to save Ling Heng and break Beihe's Taiji Array, Jiang Mei shouted loudly: "Change the formation!" Jing Yan waved the flag into the air, and the Huan army quickly adjusted the formation. Conjure up a cone formation. The forward of the cone formation is like a cone, which is an offensive formation, and Jiang Mei asked Gao Chi to be the main general and form a cone formation to attack the Yan army. Attempts were made to achieve a forcible assault.
Apparently. In such a vast fertile area. Jiang Mei wanted to break through Beihe's defensive formation through such an attacking formation.
Sure enough, the front military formation of the Yan army could no longer withstand the fierce offensive of the Huan army, and Ling Heng in the array. When he heard the horn of the Huan army's attack, he discerned the direction and assisted in the attack from the inside, and the vanguard of the Yan army collapsed for a while because it could not resist the attack of the Huan army's cavalry, and Ling Heng broke out with the remaining hundreds of cavalry.
Seeing this, Beihe secretly screamed that it was not good, knowing that the Huan army wanted to implement a breakthrough in the center, and in the face of the Huan army's fierce attack, he could only use the attack formation that was faster than the cone formation, turning the passive into the active, so he gave another order, except for the forward troops to resist, the other Yan troops changed their formations again.
Jiang Mei in the Huan army formation naturally noticed this change, and gradually, the horn of the Yan army was blown, the flag in the formation was spread high, and a big "Li" flag fluttered in the vanguard formation. Jiang Mei sneered, if she guessed correctly, Beihe was going to be in a sharp formation, and the front was assaulted.
The front arrow formation is an offensive military formation, the general is located in the middle and rear of the formation, and the front of the formation is like a sharp arrow, with a strong general who is good at attacking as the vanguard. Obviously, in the formation of the Yan army, Li Qitian is in front, Gong Shiyuan is in the middle, and Beihe is in the back.
Jiang Meiyang raised his head, seeing that it was the middle of the day, and it was time for the whole army to fight, so he made up his mind to fight against the front arrow formation with a car suspension formation.
She ordered the flag to come out again, except for the belligerent army formation, the other army formations changed again, and a moment later, in the face of the blazing sun, the Huan army had changed its formation and hung over.
The car suspension formation is centered on the commander, the infantry formation in the middle becomes a stacked formation, and the cavalry on the periphery becomes a mobile army formation encircling the center, so that the periphery is like a rotating wheel, and the soldiers are rushing towards the Taiji array of the Yan army, and so on, attacking the Yan army's army formation like a wheel battle.
The strength of this formation lies in the constant pressure on the enemy so that it collapses from exhaustion, while our side is replenished and rested by taking turns to recuperate.
At this time, the generals of the Huan army, except for a few elite soldiers hidden by Jiang Mei, took turns to fight, and the morale was high for a while, the dust was flying, and the scene was magnificent. Xiao Moheng, who was standing above and watching the battle, was suddenly excited, and he looked at the white shadow on the field with a little more appreciation and even admiration.
When Beihe saw that the cavalry on the periphery of the Huan Army took turns attacking the Yan Army's sharp arrows, he was shocked for a while, and the secret path of this cloud without a trace was really extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was proficient in the formation at a young age, which made Beihe feel very difficult.
In order to boost the fighting spirit of the Yan army, he sat high in the rear of the whole army and helped the battle with the piano.
In the distance, the roaring sound of the Northern Crane sounded, and the entire battlefield suddenly shook, and the sound of the piano rose and fell, surging and surging, and the momentum was like a rainbow. As if injected with a strong force, the soldiers of the Yan Army suddenly had high morale and charged into battle desperately.
Jiang Mei stared at the world-renowned jade-faced military advisor from afar, although he was over half a hundred years old, his elegant figure still exuded a fascinating demeanor.
If you don't get rid of the North Crane, you can't break the Yan, Jiang Mei said secretly, I won't lose you in the fighting array, and I will accompany you in the fighting qin.
Immediately, Jiang Mei sat leisurely on the table like a leisurely stroll, and Jiuzhu on the side put the guqin that had been prepared on the table.
Jiang Mei closed her eyes, her mind was calm, her long fingers were raised, and the sound of the piano rose in the air, at first the sound of the piano was melodious and clear, pouring out like flowing water, such a handsome and chic figure, which was completely inconsistent with this bloody battlefield, looking like a deep valley and an orchid.
However, in the next moment, Jiang Mei's qin sound walked quickly, the sound of the qin was thick and smooth, high into the clouds, and the Huan army was full of momentum and fought proudly.
At this time, Beihe on the opposite side looked at Jiang Mei with his head raised, and flicked his fingers like flying, like a thunderbolt, Beihe smiled indifferently, he didn't expect that he could meet such a tricky opponent in his later years, which was also a blessing in life.
Jiang Mei smiled freely, speeding up the rhythm, ten fingers flying balls, human piano and one, like a galloping horse, Huan Jun's heart suddenly full of pride, and the car hanging array rushed towards Yan Jun like a mountain and a sea.
The two military advisors looked at each other and fought against each other. The sound of the piano reflects the galloping of thousands of horses on the battlefield.
The car hung against the front arrow, the horse's hooves were like thunder, the shouting of killing was deafening, it was thrilling, Jiang Mei didn't dare to open her eyes at this moment, the red color in her eyes had already made her a little dizzy, it was a living life, so trampled under the horse's hooves, people died and horses were injured, and it was miserable. Jiang Mei suddenly felt a pain in her heart. His face was as pale as paper. She had taken a pill before going out to fight today. Since she has supported her physical strength, she doesn't want to spend too much energy in this battle, and layers of fine sweat have appeared on her forehead, and her hand strength is a little vain.
Luojun on the side saw Jiang Mei's face pale. His brow furrowed. Signal Jiuzhu to help him with internal strength. Jiuzhu also sensed Jiang Mei's discomfort, so he immediately sat behind her, and used his internal strength to slowly inject true qi into Jiang Mei's back. Jiang Mei felt that the meridians were smooth. Suddenly I was full of energy again.
However, Beihe in the Yan army is not much better, after all, he has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is also supporting his body to set up a formation fighting method, and he is already sweating profusely at this time.
He looked at the Yan army, which was already on the verge of retreat, his heart was horrified, his fingers flickered, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, his body suddenly fell, and he was already unable to collapse, so frightened that Yu Yanbo on the side hurriedly knelt down to support him, and he ordered slowly: "Uncle Yan, change the formation!" ”
Yu Yanbo then asked him to lean on his body, he quickly got up, gave the order to rise, and the Yan army, which had been ordered by the commander, immediately lined up.
The shield soldiers and spearmen lined up in an infantry phalanx, resisting the cavalry of the Huan army in front, and the cavalry gathered on the two wings, and the Yan army was like a magnificent wild goose, inciting two fast and powerful wings towards the Huan army.
"Crane Wing Array!" Jiang Mei also stopped the sound of the piano and exclaimed.
The left and right cavalry of the crane wing formation, spread like the wings of the crane, is a kind of offensive and defensive formation, the two wings open and close freely, which can be used to copy the enemy's two sides, and can work together to flank the enemy who breaks into the middle of the formation, but the two wings should be mobile and flexible, closely coordinated, in order to give the opponent a fierce attack.
"Kill... Yikes......"
At this moment, the Yan army was pressing towards the Huan army with overwhelming momentum, and Ling Heng, who was fighting in front, immediately retreated into the formation when he saw this. Jiang Mei's brows tightened, and she motioned for Jing Yan to raise the flag and beat the drum, Jing Yan raised a flag in each hand, and raised it ahead at the same time. Two gaps were immediately vacated in the middle of the Huan army, and Fei Lian and Tao Yiran each led five thousand cavalry to fly out of the two lanes, respectively running towards the two wings of the Yan army, these two ambushes were specially designed for the crane wing array of the Northern Crane, the crane wing array was the last formation of the Northern Crane, and these two cavalry were the swords that destroyed the Yan army's formation.
In order to cope with the surprise attack of Fei Lian and Tao Yiran, Gao Chi personally led the infantry and cavalry phalanx in front to attack the head of the Crane Wing Array.
Hit the head and fold the wings, this is exactly Jiang Mei's formation-breaking tactics.
Fei Lian and Tao Yi galloped towards the Yan army, cutting off the two wings of the Yan army, and Shang Zhi and Chu Yutang then fought to help Fei Lian and the others defeat the Yan army's attack.
When Beihe saw the two swift and brave iron horses, his face turned pale and broken, and his unprovoked and endless killing was broken by a young man.
It's really a talented person! Beihe closed his eyes and said in pain, as soon as this formation was broken, the Yan army had almost no power to fight back. Gong Shiyuan and Gao Chi, who were at the head of the battle, were fighting, Li Qitian and Fei Lian were strangled together, and the Yan army was also weak.
When Beihe had already decided that she had lost, Jiang Mei did not relax, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she waved the command flag with her own hands, instructing the Huan army to list the last formation: the five army formations.
Jiang Mei looked at the Yan army that had gradually shown defeat, as long as Gong Shiyuan was still there, as long as Li Qitian was still alive, and as long as Beihe had not been captured, then the war was not over. After the Huan army set up the formation, Jiang Mei issued the final order, and the drums of the Huan army were as fast as thunder, resounding throughout the universe.
The soldiers who received the final instructions of the military division shouted "kill the ......" and followed their respective generals towards the Yan army.
On the battlefield at this time, Fei Lian and the other four have been biting the two wings of the strongest Yan army, dividing and encircling and annihilating, Fei Lian fought Li Qitian alone, and Gao Chi fought against Gong Shiyuan. Ling Heng led 5,000 soldiers and horses to outflank the rear of the Yan army from the right, while the last elite of the army hidden behind the Huan army array galloped out from the left and outflanked the rear of the Yan army with Ling Heng. And the leader of that elite team is Mu Bai, who does not wear armor. At this moment, his deep eyes were burning with fire, his chest was filled with grief and indignation, he carried the "cloud" character general flag without a trace, and went straight to Beihe with the blood of 50,000 Yun generals fifteen years ago......
Jiang Mei looked at Mu Bai's galloping back in a daze, and saw her former father, carrying the ambition of the Central Plains of Beiding, desperate to run ......
however
"Drive!" A bright and rich long roar pulled Jiang Mei back to the battlefield, she looked for prestige, only to see Xiao Moheng wearing silver armor, waving his long sword, and roaring solemnly: "Soldiers, follow this king to kill Yan Di and recover Chang'an!" ”
"Regain Chang'an!"
"Regain Chang'an!"
"Regain Chang'an!"
At this time, the Huan army as if heard the most exciting voice, the crowd was excited, in the face of the charging commander, the momentum of the whole army reached the climax, all the Huan army soldiers attacked the Yan army with Xiao Moheng's anger swallowing mountains and rivers, they looked at death one by one, like running to the light......
At that moment, Jiang Mei couldn't help but boil with blood and burst into tears, this was the first time she saw Xiao Moheng in armor, that handsome and arrogant figure, that chanting like a bell, at this moment the proud Xiao Moheng is the most martial eagle on the battlefield, he spreads his wings and flies, slashing the sky, and blooming with the most dazzling light like a king in the world......
The sunset is like blood, the mountains are sad, the sunset over the heavy mountains shines on this Shura hell, the blood flows into a river, the corpses are all over the field, when the last trace of afterglow is reflected on the simple and majestic city wall, the thousand-year-old city of Chang'an calmly opened its door and welcomed its new owner. (To be continued......)
