Chapter 714: Variations on the Offensive
As for An Yi's troops, Niu Fu didn't look down on them at all, if Wang Yi had that guts, he would have attacked a long time ago, but there has been no movement until now, and not even a single arrow has been shot.
Finish cleaning up this group of short-sighted guys as soon as possible, and you still need to find Wang Yi in Anyi for food and grass! Otherwise, everyone will drink the northwest wind tonight?
Siege is the least cost, the largest harvest of the tactics, as long as the grain and grass can be supported, the siege is more suitable than the siege, because this can get a relatively complete city, casualties are relatively small, at the same time, as long as there is no frontal conflict, the city side surrenders, and most of them can get a better treatment.
Siege of the city, fighting more is the mind, than patience and comprehensive strength, Niu Fu came to Anyi to ask for grain and grass, not to fight for a fish to die in the net, and then caused Anyi to be desperate and burned the grain and grass, so for Anyi siege but not attack, but this is also limited, if the Hedong Taishou Wangyi in the city of Anyi is no longer interested, Niu Fu does not mind giving Wangyi some color to see......
At the moment, seeing that the Fei Submarine Battle Formation was trying to maintain and was crumbling, and at this time, it was the best example to show to Wang Yi with the momentum of thunder?
If Wang Yi doesn't obey again, the end of Fei Qian's car formation today will be the end of Wang Yi tomorrow!
Therefore, Niu Fu simply prepared to attack both frontally and on the flanks at the same time, and in one fell swoop, he used the powerful impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to directly hammer through the Fei Submarine Formation and end the battle!
Maybe you can capture Fei Qian in one fell swoop, and it is said that there are a lot of grain and grass goods in Pingyang......
In fact, what Fei Qian and Xu Shu discussed and formulated was the oldest fish scale array, but it was slightly mutated.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the main offensive role of the Fish Scale Formation was played by chariots, and the rapid impact of the chariots cut the enemy's foot soldiers into small pieces, which were then crushed by the infantry equipped between the chariots
Fei Qian's car formation is used in reverse, not Fei Qian's fish scale array, but the Xiliang Niu auxiliary army, waves of cavalry like a tide, but they were split before the battle formation, and could not form a complete charge strength.
Fei Qian and Xu Shu, who were standing on the high platform, were always maintaining the balance of the entire formation, neither adding more manpower, nor allowing Hu Qi to tear the formation apart......
Although in this way, the damage of the sword and shield men and pikemen who fought in front of the battle gradually increased, but Fei Qian still endured it, because these casualties were actually bait thrown out to Niu Fu, if the bait was not crispy and tempting enough, how could Niu Fu be fooled?
As Niu Fu's order was issued, Hu Qi began to gradually form his team, retreating to the side and making way for the passage in the middle.
Xu Shu high-fived happily and said, "Okay!" It's finally dispatched! ”
Fei Qian saw that the battlefield was finally developing in the direction he wanted, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief, allowing the flag officer to play the flag and make corresponding troop adjustments.
As the Xiliang Iron Horse set out, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the sound was like muffled thunder, low and shaking. This kind of tremor is obviously different from when Hu Qi gallops, Hu Qi's war horses run according to their own rhythm, the sound of horses' hooves is chaotic, but the sound of the hooves of Xiliang Tie Qi is almost in unison, knocking on the same point, causing the tremor of the whole earth to become more and more obvious, and the thunder is also like a race.
Gradually, everyone on the battlefield could clearly feel the trembling of the earth, and the spear in his hand began to beat, and the numb and crispy feeling spread from the palm of his hand to his shoulder, and the vibration transmitted from the soles of his feet converged, surging to his heart, rushing to his head, turning into a chill, this kind of spirit even the face of Wang Yi at the head of Anyi City changed slightly.
"Xiliang Tie has ridden up! Pull up the ropes! Fast! The military Hou Ling Jie took advantage of the gap between the retreat of the Hu cavalry and shouted loudly, because of the long time before the battle, Ling Jie's voice was a little hoarse.
The iron cables in the dirt that were originally hidden under the baggage carts of the second column were straightened by the action of the winch and rose to about a meter, which was quite an embarrassing height......
"The bow and arrows are separated from the left and right ......" The military commander Ling Jie seized the opportunity to take off the bamboo tube around his waist, poured two mouthfuls of water, and moistened his dry throat, "...... Crossbowmen forward! Ready to shoot! ”
The crossbowmen who had been hiding behind the Fei Qian troops finally showed their sharp fangs, and after the design of Fei Qian's design and the improved iron crossbow of the Huang craftsmen, they were finally officially unveiled on the battlefield.
The rumbling Xiliang Iron Cavalry crossed the open space in front of the two sides in an instant, increasing the speed of the war horse to the extreme, like a surging flood, overwhelmingly surging towards the battle formation of Fei Qian!
Because of the terrain, Fei Qian couldn't find a position where everything was just right for a while, so Fei Qian's crossbowmen could not form multiple levels of strikes, and could only be lined up in a slightly staggered queue under the cover of the sword and shield hands.
Almost as soon as the prepared flags in the crossbow array were raised, the sound of the war drums changed and became as rapid as rain, and the soldier Ling Jie gave the order to shoot almost at the same time as he heard the command of the war drums.
With the change of war drums, in the repeated orders of the squadrons in each queue, the strong crossbowman pulled the crossbow machine......
The first column of crossbowmen fired their bolts and immediately crouched down to open the strings, while the second column of crossbowmen fired their bolts, and then the third and fourth columns......
"Bouncing—"
"Whoosh-"
The sound of fried beans, the steel pieces of thirty and fifty refining perfectly showed their own elasticity, and when the crossbow bolt broke through the air under the release of the hanging knife, it let out a scream of longing for flesh and blood, like playing a variation of death, and viciously rushed towards the Niu Fu Xiliang cavalry!
Of course, the flying bear cavalry led by Niu Fu was not the strongest equipment, it was Dong Zhuo's personal guards, and only Dong Zhuo took him out of battle when he was on his side. Of course, as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu naturally tried his best to get closer to Dong Zhuo's flying bear army, but only the outermost cavalry was equipped with horse armor of iron armor, while the other cavalry was at most covered with leather horse armor.
But even so, the general bow and arrow for these cavalry in horse armor basically has a sharp decrease in lethality, and it can basically be ignored, so it is also the fundamental reason why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry crisscrosses Xiqiang......
However, the scream that came from the wind now made the faces of the front-line junior soldiers in the huge arrow formation formed by the Xiliang Knights change, and they immediately let out a terrible roar:
"Raise your shield—"
Almost all the cavalry raised their riding shields in the direction of the chariot formation, covering their horses and their heads......
