Chapter 055: Six Flower Arrays Defeat the Enemy
And just when Yang Tong led the army to gallop across the Khitan mainland, Li Jing and Deng Wei joined forces to cross the White Wolf Water and fight a decisive battle with the Khitan elite on the north bank and fifty miles away from the southern suburbs of Liucheng.
Li Jing and Deng Wei were united, and there were 50,000 people, while Luo Yi and the Khitans were only about 60,000.
It's just that the Sui army is full of foot soldiers, and the enemy's entire army is ridden.
However, Li Jing's 30,000 army in the main battle put on a very powerful formation, and this battle formation called Liuhua was a formation deduced by Li Jing on the basis of the Zhuge Kongming Eight Formations. Li Jing had been living in Mayi for many years, and when he saw that the Turkic cavalry was invincible, he often thought about the battle formation of infantry and cavalry, and this six-flower array was deduced at that time.
After taking over the army, Li Jing trained his troops in this formation, and there were small formations in the large formation, and the formations were one after another, which was extremely powerful.
"What a six-flower array?" Deng Wei, who was watching the battle from the command tower, looked at the Sui army on the battlefield and was full of praise.
He is also a master of the art of war, and after watching it for a while, he can see the extraordinary features of the Six Flowers Array.
The Liuhua array is divided into five formations: square formation, circular formation, curved formation, straight formation and sharp formation, and each of the five formations has several changes, a total of dozens of changes, even Deng Wei can not understand in a very short period of time, and the commander arranges different formations according to different enemy conditions, terrain attack and defense.
In the Six Flowers Array, the Chinese army is in the center, the right front army, the right wing right army, the right Yu Hou army, the left Yu Hou army, the left wing left army and the left rear army are outside, the six flower arrays are large and small, and the large battalions are small battalions, and the camps are connected, and the different arms cooperate with each other, which looks extremely complex and extremely mysterious.
"So it's a trick, the Han people are like this, my cavalry can kill all these people in one impact." A Khitan chief looked at the large array that was slowly moving forward and said with disdain.
"You can't underestimate the Han people."
The Khitan chief Duoko, who was unaware of the great changes in the rear, reminded. In this case, Li Jing not only rode against each other, but also took the initiative to attack. Either he had to do it, or he was absolutely sure.
"General Luo, what are they doing?" Doko looked at more and more soldiers, in addition to holding various weapons, there were many flags, these colorful flags looked very strange, and these soldiers gathered in different directions, they were not gathered together. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the army?
"This is the battle formation of the Central Plains army." Luo Yi's eyes flashed with complexity, the history of the Central Plains War has a long history, from ancient times to the present, military strategists have written down many tactics of war, invented a variety of formations, and used the least army to exert the most powerful combat power. Of course, not all generals can lay out the formation, and not all generals can exert the maximum power of the formation. I don't know what the formation under Li Jingbu will look like.
"Haha, this Li Jing must be afraid of death." When all the 30,000 troops appeared, Doko suddenly laughed, and he pointed to the large array in the distance and said: "Look, under his big army, there are about tens of thousands of troops, but outside the big army, there are only thousands of people in the phalanx, isn't this afraid of death?" ”
Not only Duoke thinks so, but everyone else is also like this, the six flower arrays in front of him, there are six infantry phalanxes composed of three thousand people outside, like flower petals, and in the middle of the army, there are more than 10,000 people in a circular phalanx around Daxu, and most of them are cavalry, guarding the Chinese army, weak on the outside and strong on the inside, just like a flower, which is incomprehensible.
Although there are a lot of three thousand elites, they can't withstand a charge at all in the tens of thousands of cavalry, but Luo Yi just quietly looked at the phalanx in front of him, he had never seen this kind of extremely simple looking formation.
According to the practice of ordinary people, either the soldiers and horses are divided equally, or the army is gathered, and the enemy is outside the large array, but this strange battle formation in ancient times does the opposite.
"Send a team of 10,000 people to attack." Duoko thought about it and made a decision.
"Great Chief, I'll go." It was a chief who spoke, and as soon as the words fell, he led 10,000 cavalry to kill the Liuhua Array in front.
The 10,000 cavalry made the earth tremble, and the momentum was fierce and extremely strong.
In front of the line was Pei Xingyan, he looked at the roaring Khitan soldiers, his face did not show any horror, but said to the soldiers: "It's just 10,000 rabbits rushing over, wait for the shield together, what you do is to stab, just stab along the gap." When I shout out of the way, get out of the way. ”
"Yes."
Pei Xingyan's voice sounded among the three armies.
"Raise your shield!" Pei Xingyan roared, and instantly saw the first row of soldiers raising a big shield, the shield was about a person high, several soldiers leaned behind the shield, and together they resisted the war horse that was about to rush over, the impact of the war horse was very strong, and only a few people could barely resist it.
"Thorn." Pei Xingyan roared, and in an instant, he saw hundreds of spears piercing out of the gaps in the shield, and in an instant, there was a terrible scream from the war horse, and one after another blood light rushed out, and it was all over the ground in an instant. The Khitan offensive was instantly blocked.
Of course, in the middle of the six petals, there were quite a few cavalry rushing in along the gap.
"Sortie."
Li Jing of the Chinese army gave an order to attack in an instant, and Su Dingfang led the cavalry to rush out, blocking the gap in the middle of the large array in an instant, and around, there were some infantry, holding spears and stabbing out one after another, causing huge damage to the Khitans who rushed in.
"Quick, get out." The chief found out that something was wrong, and an army of 10,000 rushed in together, but some of them were blocked by the shield array, and some of them rushed in, but they were divided into several gaps, and the army could not form a combat force after coming in, and was soon divided into several parts, while the enemy attacked together, and a soldier had to face two or three or more people attacking, and was quickly cut down by the other party, he didn't think about it, so he found a gap and rushed out.
"Where to go!" Li Jing saw it clearly, stretched out his bow and arrows, and with a loud roar, he saw that the chief dropped his horse and quickly disappeared into the chaos.
"What a Li Jing."
The battle ended quickly, and the 10,000 soldiers who explored the way were wiped out in less than an hour, and only about a thousand people really escaped, and the rest were trapped in the large array and destroyed.
Listening to the soldiers who fled back tell about the situation in the big array, Duoko couldn't help but say: "Although the Han people are cowardly, they are insidious and cunning, and in the big array, they can defeat our warriors with absolute superiority. ”
The soldiers who fled back were surrounded by enemy weapons and died without even seeing anyone. Duoko knew that the enemy was taking advantage of the position and rationally allocating forces to achieve the goal of attacking more and few.
"Then send all the soldiers and horses to deal with Li Jing together. I don't believe it, I can't defeat Li Jing. Doko yelled
Luo Yi said: "They are divided into six small phalanxes, as long as we attack together, they can't care for each other, even in the middle of the formation, we can give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, defeat the strength of the six small formations, and then kill the Chinese army together." ”
Doko said: "That's it." ”
The whole army was divided into six, and at the same time slaughtered the six petals of the Six Flower Array.
"It's smart to learn, but just like that, I want to break the Six Flowers Array, I'm afraid it's not enough." Li Jing looked at the roaring army, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Under Li Jing's command, the six petals turned instantly, and one chariot after another suddenly roared out, instantly blocking the successive enemy soldiers. forced the cavalry not to lift their horses and divert their routes. However, the whole army marched quickly, and as soon as the soldiers in front stopped, they were hit by the latecomers.
In an instant, people and horses were crowded, unable to move, and were stabbed to death by guns that stabbed out of the gaps in their shields.
"What's going on?" Doko was on the offensive when he suddenly noticed a great confusion among the soldiers in front of him.
"It's a chariot," one said aloud.
But, is this a chariot?
In fact, they are all temporary assembled grain carts, horse-drawn carts, and three forks.
It's just that these things show great combat power. At the very least, it neutralized the cavalry speed and shock advantage, and also scattered the army and was annihilated by the enemy inside with absolute superiority.
Seeing that all the enemies had entered the battle, Li Jing, who had been waiting for a long time, gave the order to attack, only to see six petals divided on both sides.
The enemy offensive was slightly faster
Doko was overjoyed and said, "The enemy can't hold on, let me kill it." ”
At this time, in front of the Khitan cavalry was a heavily armored Mo knife hand, and the Mo knife body was one of the magic weapons against the cavalry in the sun.
With the emergence of this army, the Khitan cavalry was killed and turned on their backs, and the horses neighed.
All this was expected by Li Jing.
Is the impact of cavalry terrible?
It's scary.
Under normal circumstances, can the Mo Dao Hand Formation stop the cavalry?
It must not be stopped!
However, the six flower arrays are interlocking, and the arms cooperate with each other to learn from each other's strengths!
The most powerful cavalry charge had been neutralized by the various patchwork 'rooks', the bows and arrows had disrupted the assault formation, and the formation had dispersed the enemy's strength, and the impact of the cavalry moving slowly could not shake the specially trained Mo swordsmen.
Is a cavalryman without impact an opponent of a strange swordsman?
At the forefront, the Mo knife hand announced the result with practical actions.
Mo Dao crossed an arc in the air, with a loud "......bang", the knife and the knight on the horse came into close contact, the invincible power directly pressed the knight's body, the blade broke his stomach, the power did not weaken at all, and continued to slash on the horse's back.
Broken apart.
Despite the impact of waves of Khitan cavalry like raging waves, the Mo swordsman is like a reef on the seaside, allowing the enemy cavalry to attack, but they stand majestically, the initial panic has disappeared, the Mo swordsman is becoming more and more calm, and began to launch an active attack, like a wall and a mountain to move forward, every step forward, hundreds of Khitan cavalry will be strangled under the knife.
Luo Yi was stunned by the situation in front of him, the soldiers were killed in an instant, without any waves, extremely relaxed, and died under the other party's Mo knife without even having time to make adjustments.
"Advance like a wall, and everyone will be shattered!" Li Jing couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw the power of Mo Dao's hand, Yang Tong kept saying that Mo Dao was a sharp weapon for horsemanship, and even did not hesitate to use royal power to interfere with Li Jing's training.
Li Jing was originally a little uncomfortable, but it was not until this time, when he witnessed the power of Mo Dao's hand, that he realized how wise Yang Tong was.
In front, there are Mo knife hands advancing layer by layer, there are pikemen on both sides of the spur, and there are rangers outside to clear the fish that have slipped through the net.
The die is cast.
Looking at Luo Yi, who was desperately rushing out to kill, Li Jing pointed at the flag, and Pei Xingyan, who had long been unable to hold back, rushed out of the formation, and in a sprint, the horse lance killed Luo Yi with an invincible might.
"It's so strong!"
Such a terrible blow made Luo Yi's face pale, although the lance had not yet arrived, but the terrifying momentum seemed to imprison him, and the gap between the peerless fierce general and the first-class military general was suddenly revealed.
When Luo Yi used all his strength to block it, he found that it was empty.
Pei Xingyan hated this kind of traitor the most, and he was ruthless, and he was mighty and powerful, and he shook the mountains and rivers from the bottom up.
The strong wind was howling, Luo Yi's mind was blank, and he had no time to think about it, so he could only rely purely on his feelings to resist it in front of his chest!
With a muffled "poof", the silver lance blade drove straight in, piercing Luo Yi's heart.
After the one-sided slaughter posture was over, Li Jing and Deng Wei effortlessly recaptured Liucheng (Yingzhou City), while Li Jing marched eastward, leaving 5,000 elite guards and personally leading more than 15,000 people into the Khitan mainland, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
