Chapter 226. Out of the line!
The west bank of the Yi River also broke out with overwhelming shouts and killings, and the Taishan army in the city went out of the city to fight extremely fiercely, constantly charging against the overwhelming rain of arrows, even if they were shot to death in the snow layer by layer, they did not retreat a point.
But this can't change the situation that Wang Houbu on the east bank was isolated by more than 39,000 Qi troops, watching the five formations on the bank of the river, the mighty Qi army like a wall pressed over against him, and several civil officials were even stupid, shouting in panic behind the enemy that I would withdraw quickly!
The old face looked at the battlefield with a gloomy face, even Jia Xu was a little moved, with a gap of nearly eight to one troops, this battle was indeed difficult to fight! After hesitating for a few seconds, he also helplessly hugged his fist at Wang Houyi.
"Dong Weng, the thief is very heavy, in my opinion, when the camp is abandoned, the whole army retreats to the mountain, relying on the mountain to resist with a heavy crossbow, Zang Ba is now attacking the village with all his strength, losing the back camp, Jiang Yiqu's old thief can't support it for too long, as long as the resistance stays today!"
But listening to the sound of Qi military drums under the mountain, Wang Hou didn't answer, he was always holding a telescope and constantly observing the slowly advancing Qi army, and observed for more than 20 seconds, in Jia Xu's anxious eyes, he suddenly turned his head, but asked Jia Xu an unexpected question.
"Old thief Jiang lacks cavalry!"
"Dong Weng?"
didn't seem to expect him to answer, and after pinching his chin for two seconds, Wang Hou suddenly shouted loudly.
"Spread the order of the state pastor! Beat the drums, blow the battle trumpet, and the flag-bearers will go out first to meet Jiang Yiqu's Chinese army! ”
"Meet the ......, meet the battle?"
Even if Jia Xu is incredible, he almost didn't bite his tongue, six thousand battles and forty thousand, he has never seen a battle in this situation, listening to his stumbling and carrying the binoculars, Wang Hou turned around and showed a relaxed and confident smile.
"Mr. Wenhe, we are very strong!"
The same fierce drum sound sounded on the opposite side, in Jiang Yiqu's rather stunned expression, Wang Hou's army array, which was nearly two kilometers away, in the hurried military boots, a face flag was also the first to leave the camp, and then in the shocking drums, the thick military formation gathered directly opposite him, and when he wanted to look at some details, a burst of sunlight was refracted into his pupils, so that he had to lower his head.
To say that Yuan Jun really made a mistake, not paying attention to the direction of the battlefield, Jiang Yiqu was making food at the time of the hour, and marching at the end of the day, and now it is only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun rising from the east is just reflected in the pupils of Yuan Jun, so that they have to cover their eyes and march.
It took about ten seconds for the old eyes to be illuminated, and he used his hand as the brim of his hat to look at it at a more comfortable angle, and when Jiang Yiqu looked at Wang Jiajun again, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly for a moment.
Twenty seconds ago, Wang Houjun had just begun to line up, but now, he had almost finished the military formation, even if he had already known that he was going to march to cross the river, the soldiers were not all waiting in the tents, but had already been out of the tent and on standby.
Before the war, Jiang Yiqu committed a taboo, he didn't know Wang Hou, and for his subordinates, the veteran of the Yuan family still stayed in his subjective consciousness.
But! The crashes are usually old captains! At this time, Jiang Yiqu still believed in himself, after all, he had strong troops, and his front was five times that of the other party.
"Pass the order, slow down the march of each formation, and maintain the formation! Watch out! ”
"The last general obeys!"
The subordinates agreed, and Pegasus rushed to the left front and right rear army to convey the order, since Wang Hou had decided to fight, there was no need to surround him in a hurry, the speed of the surging Qi army was suddenly doubled, and the soldiers in the front line changed from the original half-step advance to a broken step forward, holding a spear and halberd in both hands, moving forward in small steps, trying his best to maintain the formation, squinting his eyes Jiang Yiqu is now looking at the opposite side with interest, he really wants to know that this Cao Ying doesn't seem to have much outstanding battle record, But how did a guy who could be quickly promoted to Qingzhou Mu by Cao Cao deal with it, but after looking at it for a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes gloomily.
"Huh! Young people are fearless! ”
A disdainful cold snort was snorted out by him, and just opposite him, a dense snow mist fluttered, and Wang Houjun was running and hurrying towards him.
In this era, the war is fought in a formation! The formation fell into chaos, the command failed, even if the army of millions had to be defeated, he, a veteran, had to try his best to maintain the formation, he was stunned and ordered his subordinates to run forward, not to mention the physical strength consumed, just this tactical action, he had to mess up his formation.
Newborn calves are indeed bold, but after all, they are calves and have to be eaten by tigers!
Is Wang Hou really stupid?
In fact, this running forward part was not his main headquarters, but more than 800 recruited Taishan archers, led by Wang Congge, followed by him, Wang Hou's two other cavalry, all handed over to Zhang Liao.
Focus on attacking the Chinese army and make the Jiang thief formation disjointed! This is Wang Hou's order!
At the same time when Jiang Yiqu was disdainful, the archers ran to a distance of about one hundred and fifty meters from the enemy formation.
The recorded range of medieval British longbowmen was about 200 meters, Wang Hou didn't know what the performance of the Han army's standard composite bow, the only imported weapon his troops were equipped with, so he set this distance at 150 meters.
"All stopped!"
Boom~ Within a second, the eight hundred archers who were galloping in a hurry all stopped, and the sound of squeaky bows and arrows sounded, and the three-edged armor-piercing arrows more than one meter long were rounded up in the panting of these archers, and in the next second, as Wang Congge exhaled and let out a sudden shout, the bow and arrow bushes like a torrential rain flew out with a roar.
Whether it is an arrow or an arrow, the scene is spectacular, in the crackling sound, the front row of the Qi army, which lacks vision and armor, is like cutting wheat, and a large area is shot down in the strong sense of blow, and some are even shot through, screaming and lying on the ground, and the originally neat formation has also begun to be chaotic.
"The Chinese army stops advancing! Shieldman Defense! Archers fight back! Order Liu He and Zhang Po to handsome cavalry and defeat the king thief archers! ”
The face was slightly gloomy, and a series of orders were issued from Jiang Yiqu's mouth like a cloud, under his order, the reaction of the Chinese army with the main force of the Yuan army of Hebei was also very smooth, and the shield hand carrying the wooden shield and lacquer shield came out of the crowd, and the two cavalry on both sides were led by their respective cavalry generals, and they shot out of the formation, roaring and running towards the recruited Taishan archers who were being thrown.
However, Jiang Yiqu's order only stopped at the Chinese army, and in his gloomy face, the front, left, right and rear armies that were not hit were still moving forward slowly as always.
Before he knew it, his Chinese army began to disconnect.
