Chapter 337: Formation Trick

The Hun cavalry threw down their torches, held spear-like blades, and rushed towards Wu Huan in the moonlight.

The moonlight was gloomy, and the enemy army in beast robes was like a human-headed beast monster, attacking rapidly.

Henan soldiers did not need Han Xin, Shen Yang gave an order, and the four three-person two-wheeled chariots advanced to the front.

In the center is a chariot, with 25 heavy armor soldiers in the front, left corner, and right corner. After attacking the chariot, the chariot was guarded by a heavy baggage, and the cart of the two horses was uncontrolled, and ten people on the left and right were holding bows and crossbows, and they were constantly shooting. The man next to the chariot can control the horse behind the chariot, and can also defend the chariot from the enemy from behind.

The chariots were stacked in several rows, and the infantry, as well as the large array of crossbowmen, were behind them by cover, and the infantry formed in formation, and the crossbowmen were divided into two formations, the left and the right, the horses on the left and the men on the right.

Hundreds of chariots were in line with each other, and they were divided into three armies, left, center, and right, Shen Yang and Han Xin were in the squadron.

The 80,000 horses instantly turned into three iron bucket arrays, slowly approaching the alien race who opened their mouths and howled.

Although the Henan soldiers were slow, the Hun cavalry was extremely fast, and the two sides instantly met in short arms.

"Suffer death!"

The Hun cavalry could not stand the enemy's almost sluggish marching speed, and shouted at the armor soldiers and stabbed their spears.

The Henan soldiers did not panic, their steps moved in unison with the halberd, and the tips of the halberd were lined up, as if they were connected into a long blade, swinging towards the enemy.

Compared with the length, the long blades of the Huns are far inferior to the other side, even if the cavalry leans over, the spear-like thing has not yet reached the body of the armor, and the halberd will either overturn the Hun cavalry, or stab the war horse to death. The cavalry fell to the ground, halberded and stabbed to death, and then slowly advanced again.

Even those who relied on their superb horsemanship to turn around and escape did not rush to catch up. The three large formations marched together, forcing the fighting soldiers, and if they did not want to break and flee, they could only break through again and die under the halberd. The body was then run over by Henan soldiers and chariots.

In the formation, Shen Yang couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the battle situation.

"The chariot is divided into three formations, and it is the great array of thorn corpses back then." Han Xin smiled proudly, "In the battle of Kasawa, King Wu Gou Jian broke Wu's use. In the chariot array, the Chu people are the most numerous, and the soldiers are hundreds, and today our army is no less than a hundred, as fast as a city wall. ”

"Good! Very good! Shen Yang nodded in praise, and suddenly saw that he understood where Han Xin's confidence came from, and what he had said about the more the merrier.

"What the Huns relied on was nothing more than equestrianism and archery, and it was just a single soldier's tactics. Our army will fight the enemy in a single position, in order to ease the enemy's urgency, and it will definitely be overcome. Han Xin explained, "At that time, Li Mu led the chariot in front, the infantry, the crossbow soldiers in the back, and the cavalry on both wings to limit the agility of the Huns, and defeated more than 100,000 Huns, causing them to flee, and they did not dare to offend Zhao for a long time, and it is also today!" ”

"Haha, so the king asks the Huns not to evacuate, just fight happily." Shen Yang was overjoyed.

In the Xiongnu array, the herald of King Zuo Xian frowned, "Your Majesty, the southerners are very scheming, what should I do?" ”

"What's there to panic about?" King Zuo Xian chuckled, "Back then, Li Mu had 100,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 of our army, and the disparity in strength was not huge, so Fang Dayi was defeated. In addition, although Li Mu is limited, it is an offensive. Today's enemy army is attacking on defense, which is far less powerful than it was back then. The order is not to be surrounded by the enemy, the archers are to help, and the soldiers are to attack it with their wings, so as to break through after the chariot! ”

The herald rushed away, and the Hun cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads around, and rushed into the three formations in the rain of arrows, smashing the infantry in the rear.

The Henan cavalry originally wanted to follow Li Mu's encirclement, but the Hun soldiers rushed to stop it and had to fight on the spot.

"Shoot the arrow!!" Shen Yang drank.

Henan crossbowmen fired a volley at the surprise enemy, and the arrows rained down from the sky, and the Huns either struggled to remove the arrows, still galloping, or jumped off their horses, blocked the arrows with the body of the horse, and rushed forward.

From time to time, the compatriots around him died tragically and fell off their horses, and finally rushed into the infantry formation, and were stabbed to death by the halberds.

The Huns were numerous, going forward and one after another, not afraid of life and death, and the Henan soldiers gradually dispersed.

King Zuo Xian saw it in his eyes, a wicked smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, holding a bow in his hand, closing his left eye and aiming at the leftmost soldier on the chariot.

"The armor soldiers in front of you are in command, right?!"

Whoosh –

The bow was fired, and the man was nailed to the chariot, and the bow and arrow were already in his body.

The Xiongnu archers also bent their bows and shot arrows, and their powerful arrows pierced the night sky and landed in the infantry formation.

"Attack it again!" King Zuo Xian laughed evilly, and threw his bow into the enemy's army.

The three sides of the Henan soldiers were wounded, and for a time there was chaos.

Shen Yang frowned anxiously, and was about to ask Han Xin's tactics when his head was suddenly hit by a bow. Shen Yang tried to pull it, but he couldn't pull it to half full.

"Commander Han, is this good? After all, he found a flaw for the Huns. Shen Yang said urgently, his cheeks and neck were red, and he felt the excitement all over his body in the cold night.

"Don't panic, I've never thought of breaking the enemy in a while." Han Xin didn't see any gloom, "Change Wei Shu's array!" ”

"Change Wei Shu's array!" Shen Yang repeated loudly.

The herald gave his order, and the Henan soldiers fought hard to kill, and then quickly changed the formation after listening to the order.

Wei Shunai was the minister of the Wei clan in the Jin Kingdom, and was also the "son of Wei Xian", and Rong Di fought mostly in the mountains, and the chariot was inconvenient for the war, so he destroyed the chariot for the line, in order to become the front, front, rear, left, right, five infantry formations that corresponded to each other. It is more suitable for mountainous areas, small-scale operations, and breaking the Jindi Rongdi.

The Henan infantry dispersed in an instant, no longer gathered for battle, and when the Huns rushed in with bows and arrows, the front army united the left and right flanks, instantly counter-encircled, and killed the enemy. The Huns had a tough one, swept into the formation, the front infantry still blocked the enemy, the left and right flanks united the rear army, surrounded and killed again, and then resumed the original formation. Only the blood-stained corpses of the Huns remained.

After the Henan mutiny Wei Shu's array, it was widely opened, either defensive or attacking, and the Hun soldiers were in close contact, entangled in a fight, so that the Hun archers did not dare to release their arrows easily.

King Zuo Xian was stunned for a moment, and after entering Wei for many days, he had heard Wei Xianzi's tactics. But I only feel that it is a method of fighting with young soldiers, and today the enemy is using this method to fight against more than 100,000 troops...

Not only did the infantry form the battle of Wei Shu, King Zuo Xian had just shot the chariot commander, but the remaining two still led the chariot array forward in an orderly manner, even if all three of them died, the rear baggage chariot was also replaced.

"You can show the tactics of war here... Truly a man of God. King Zuo Xian couldn't help but admire, in the past, he thought that Han Xin's rush attack would be sent to death, but at this moment, it seems that Han Xin has this strength. If it weren't for Chen Yu "sending Qi to death", forcing Han Xin to follow and give Han Xin some time, I am afraid that he would have to change the defensive position into an offensive.

The only thing that King Zuo Xian is fortunate about is that the fighting cavalry killed the enemy fiercely, and the Henan cavalry, which was forced to survive, was able to retreat into the formation under the cover of archers.

King Zuo Xian was shocked when he saw this, the place where the archers shot should be one place, so he would kill the enemy with the rain of arrows. Archers are extremely important and should not be easily retargeted. And the enemy's methods are extremely flexible, as if they are acting at the opportune opportunity.

"No... It's not just about seeing the situation! If you are confused by the enemy and run counter to the general plan of the battlefield, you will be in chaos. Han Shin... Han Xin should have demonstrated the battle situation for the soldiers earlier, so he had today's move! King Zuo Xian thought so, and was so frightened that his heart was cold, "This person's ability is far above Dong Fei, and he may not lose to Li Mu... Knotty! ”

"Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" King Zuo Xian shouted angrily, "Pass the order, there is no need to break through, and the strong bow will shoot it head-on!" Our army has all the bows and arrows, enough to shoot them all! ”

The herald ran away again, and King Zuo Xian unconsciously lowered his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, he saw that the enemy army did not carry too many shields. I have only heard that the Qin State seems to have strange armor, and the armor of the Henan soldiers is absolutely unable to use their bows and arrows.

King Zuo Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, Dai Guo, Wei State was able to conquer as soon as he attacked, and at that time he thought that the Nan people were in Li Mu, and Meng Tian was vulnerable after his death. Unexpectedly, Henan, which was less than half of the territory of Wei, was so difficult to deal with.

"If this battle is won, this king will invite Shan Yu to attack the Qin State quickly, and he will not let Ziying have a respite after the war..."

Han Xin saw that before the battle, the enemy on the side of the formation would retreat, and instantly guessed the intention of the Xiongnu.

"The cavalry is in a crane wing formation, the chariots are in front of the formation to defend against the enemy, and the shield armor is to defend the king! The generals will carry their baggage! Han Xin shouted.

"Cavalry... As the commander of Han intended, pass the order! Shen Yang had no intention of repeating it, and he trusted Han Xin at the moment.

"No!"

The front and rear chariots were quickly lined up in front of the formation, and the cavalry, carrying their baggage, changed to their left hand halberd, and again surrounded them from both flanks.

The Henan soldiers are well-trained on weekdays, and they are a little faster than the Huns. The retreating Hun cavalry has always been arrogant, and at this moment they are being chased by the enemy generals who look down on them, and they are extremely unconvinced.

"Change the formation again? Attacked? King Zuo Xian squinted, "It's okay, bring the cavalry back to the battle, and let Er and the others be shot through." ”

Although Han Xin's ears were full of the sound of swords and arrows hitting the shield, he secretly watched the situation sideways regardless of his safety.

"Commander Han be careful!"

Shen Yang shouted from behind the shield, but saw Han Xin's face flushed and was extremely excited.

"It's at this time that the long-range shot is heavy!" Han Xin shouted and withdrew to Shenyang's side, "This battle will be won!" This plan was given by Ziying, the battle of Wucheng! ”

Han Xin said. The ploughing ox with sharp knives on its horns rushed towards the army formation with big red eyes, and the cruel picture of blood-stained snow came to mind, causing the commander to palpitate for a while.

Although the Henan soldiers hated Han Xin, they knew how to act when they saw this scene.

The Hun cavalry had left the Henan cavalry far behind, and the archers were about to shoot arrows. But I saw that the Henan cavalry tore open the sacks, took out long pieces and inserted them on the arrows, pulled the round bowstring, and shot them all in the Hun array.

An arrow did not fall, but another arrow was fired, until the weight brought by it was completely shot out.

"What is this?"

"Get out of the way!"

The Xiongnu army was puzzled and rode their horses to escape from the baggage drop point. Some people who couldn't dodge were smashed and thought they were dead, but they were only wounded by arrows.

"Non-stone... It's a grass group, report to the king, this is a grass group! The immortal Hun soldiers drew their arrows and laughed at King Zuoxian.

King Zuo Xian suddenly realized Han Xin's intentions, and looked at the enemy army with an angry face.

"No wonder Han Xin didn't fight with catapults, he was afraid that our army would fight without array..."King Zuo Xian's face turned pale, "He died for this." ”

"What does the king mean?"

The unknown was still asking, but the horse under the crotch gradually stirred uncontrollably and approached the grass.

"Just after winter, there is still dry grass on the ground in the north, but this is the case in South Africa, Henan country!" King Zuo Xian came to his senses, "Han Xin... Han Xin colluded with other countries to pick the grass of Zainan to lure our army's war horses! ”

"But how can the horses of the Henan soldiers not be tempted?" A sound of confusion came.

"Henan borders on Wei, so there is no need to transport grain and grass again. Han Xin sent people to Henan to transport grain, presumably from other countries, and the war horses of Henan Province eat tender grass on weekdays! ”

King Zuo Xian figured out all the oddities, but it was too late. The fierce horse galloping on the battlefield under his crotch, which only eats hay on weekdays, can't bear it in the face of tender grass, regardless of how to block it on his back, and gallops towards the grass ball.

For a while, the formation was chaotic, and the archers were no longer able to counterattack the Henan soldiers, and they watched in horror as the murderous enemy troops rushed towards them.

While Changge waved, the Hun cavalry fell to the ground. A jumper escaped and was stabbed to death after being chased by a quick pace. The contest that had just been evenly matched instantly turned into a one-sided chase.

Shen Yang took this opportunity to poke his head out and stare at the scene that he had never dared to imagine.

The Huns were defeated ...

The Xiongnu, one of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, was defeated.

Han Xin gasped, "This side is the battle of the Great Commander's fame!" ”

"Kill the enemy, leave no one behind!" Shen Yang hurriedly got back on his horse and shouted.

King Zuo Xian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and in the middle of the formation, he could only abandon his forage-eating mount and strode towards the northwest. Not by the fodder, the subordinates who were not afraid of death jumped off their horses and gave their mounts to King Zuoxian.

"Your Majesty, run!"

"This king... This king will avenge you! ”

King Zuo Xian took the reins in pain and continued to run away with his subordinates who were far away from the forage.

The remaining Hun soldiers knew that they could not escape, and in order to gain time for King Zuoxian, they dismounted and rushed to meet the offensive of the Henan soldiers.

The one-sided slaughter, coupled with the enemy's initiative to "send them to death", within half an hour, the Henan soldiers' wrists were sore, and finally the cold air of the late night was stained with blood.

"Report to the king! The Huns have been killed! The soldiers gasped and dismounted, kneeling in front of Shen Yang.

"Good! Good! Shen Yang held the shield in an attempt to stabilize his excited and trembling figure, "Mao Dun should still be outside Kyushu, unable to rush to help." Tonight's feast for the whole army, tomorrow hunt down the remnants of the Huns, and recapture the two places of the Wei Dynasty! ”

"The king is shengming!" All the soldiers knelt down and bowed, although they were powerless, their voices were still loud. Winning more with less is also a major event that they can boast of for a lifetime.

Shen Yang let go of his shield and folded his arms on his back.

It's not the smell of blood, it's the smell of wishes.

Tonight is just the beginning, he believes that with Han Xin, the two places of the Wei Dynasty can be obtained, the land of Changshan can be obtained, and the Kyushu of the world will sooner or later be in his hands. Even if Han Xin is given as a general, his ambition will definitely be realized.

"The world... For the public! A trip to the avenue! ”

"It's too early." Han Xin was the first to regain his composure, "The Xiongnu forces are far from this, and tonight is also caused by King Zuoxian's request for a quick battle." If King Zuo Xian united with the Xiongnu soldiers of Wei, he summoned Dong Fei to return to help regardless of Changshan. It's too early to tell the winners. ”

Although the Henan soldiers were displeased, they also knew that this battle was the work of Han Xin, and they no longer had any objections.

Shen Yang suddenly lost his temper, put down his hands, and coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment.

"The Hun horses are strong, they have long escaped, and our army cannot catch up." Shen Yang sighed.

"If you win or lose, it's tonight!" Han Xin stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest, "Dare to ask the king, what kind of terrain do you think it is." ”

"It's the mountains." Shen Yang pondered and replied, "Although Weidi Mountain is not very high, its shapes are different and connected into pieces. ”

Han Xin smiled knowingly, "It seems that King Zuo Xian is not fleeing, but his fighting spirit is not dead." The mountains are difficult to travel, and it should have been to the northeast to seek Dong Peng. If there were no ambushes in the mountains, it would be King Zuo Xian who wanted to lead us forward. ”

"But if there is an ambush, after the battle, our army is exhausted, how can we defeat it?" Although Shen Yang trusts Han Xin, it is still unimaginable.

"What a child can do, he can do below. The scouts hurried, the army slowed down, and the bows and crossbows were arranged. King Zuo Xian will definitely wait for our army in the mountains. Han Xin's tone was scoffing.

"But... The king still felt that it was not right. ”

Shen Yang's face was ugly, and he had not yet enjoyed the joy after the big victory, and he was afraid that it would be self-defeating to march again, and he would fall short.

In this battle, Han Xin did not use catapults in order to let the Xiongnu not divide his troops. If there is a war in the mountains, you want to use it, but you can't use it. Although the mountains limited the cavalry of the Huns, in terms of individual combat and familiarity with the terrain of Wei, the Henan soldiers at this moment were no match for the Huns.

The time, the place, the people. Shen Yang didn't see any of the advantages.

"The soldier is treacherous, and he must not be rigid in his senses. All kinds of strange things before were caused by the conspiracy of King Zuo Xian. The Huns wanted to defeat our army, and if they were defeated tonight, they would be angry and think about revenge. This heart is not conducive to the generals, this is a big taboo. This is where our army can win. If you win, you can take the two places of the Wei Dynasty. ”

"The soldiers have arrived in Quyang, and sooner or later the Huns will be expelled. At that time, it will also rely on Fenshui to refuse, even if there is no place, it is good to fight so far. Shen Yang said.

The soldiers nodded again and again, and Han Xin sighed helplessly.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. The battle has changed several times, and the soldiers' fighting spirit has been exhausted. I'm afraid it's hard to take the initiative anymore.

Shen Yang looked apologetic and nodded slightly towards Han Xin. Just as he was about to open his mouth and give the order to return to the city, there was a fire in the northeast.

The Henan soldiers raised their hands and were about to line up, when they suddenly felt that the "enemy" generals were somewhat familiar.

"Commander of the Merchants?!"

One of the soldiers recognized the comer and cried out with joy.

The Li Shang on the horse had an anxious face, leading the cavalry, and seeing the corpses of the Huns all over the place, his face softened slightly.

The soldiers opened their eyes and greeted the arrival of the merchants.

Li Shangxing went not far away, arched his hand towards Shenyang, Han Xin saluted, "I heard the scouts say that the king has been at war with the Huns, and the express horse is coming, but I didn't expect it to be a big victory." ”

"Commander Li has a heart." Shen Yang hurriedly helped Li Shang up, "The commander is here tonight, but he has already captured Changshan Land?" How is Dong Pengjun? How did Mr. Kuai not return? ”

Han Xin kept an eye on Li Shang, for fear that something would happen to Kuaitong.

Mr. Kuai led the troops and then withdrew to Wei. Chen Yu is dead, and Dong Fei is trying to Qi Guotian to fight for Changshan Land. Li Shang replied.

"The Qi people fought again after the war, and it should not be Dong Peng's opponent. Commander Li withdrew at this moment, and it was afraid that it would all return to Dong Peng. Shen Yang frowned and said, "When the time comes, Dong Fei will return, and our army will be attacked from east to west." ”

"No, it won't." Li Shang shook his head, "Yan Wang Zang Di intervened in it and helped Tian Heng." Mr. Kuai wants to get the benefit of the fisherman, and he does not want to share Dong Peng's heart. ”

"Zang Tu is an enemy of the Huns?" Shen Yang was a little surprised, Mao Dun was in the north of Yan Kingdom, and Zang Di was too bold.

"He should have 'voted' Xiang Yu." Li Shang replied, "Presumably, in Zang Di's heart, Xiang Yu is stronger." ”
