Volume 6 The Heroes Compete Chapter 57 Behind the Scenes

As the three flags behind Gao Shun were raised high at the same time, the drumbeat of the Bohai Navy suddenly changed, from a sonorous sound with a distinct rhythm to a violent wildness like raindrops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The enemy cavalry is about to move....... behind the Yuan army's formation, Yan Liang shouted wildly: "Order, the two infantry phalanxes are lined up in front and back, they must be blocked....... the enemy must not be allowed to penetrate!" ”

As the banner flew over, the two infantry phalanxes in front of Yuan's sudden assault immediately changed formations, gradually changing from parallel advances to echoing back and forth, facing the sharp tips of the Bohai naval cavalry.

At the same time, the main force of Yuan's army in the rear slowly spread out to the front of the two wings, and pressed up in the most commonly used goose formation in the field....... which was obviously to defend against the cavalry on both flanks of the Bohai Navy.

At the front of the "trapped......." battle side formation, Dian Weiqian took off his protective helmet, and the roar was like rolling thunder in all directions.

"Invincible.......!" Five hundred heavy cavalry in the camp shouted wildly, and suddenly increased the speed of their horses, and the muffled sound of hooves shook the earth in an instant.

"These cavalrymen ....... not right!" Listening to the huge roar that far exceeded the thousands of troops and horses, in the two infantry phalanxes of the Yuan army, which had already reached the middle of the battlefield, those with better eyesight could clearly see the metallic luster reflected on the cavalry of the camp, and they couldn't help but stir at the same time.

"The spearman comes forward! Be sure to resist! Seeing that the two infantry phalanxes were scattered, several Yuan generals still had a little luck and shouted frantically: "There are only a few hundred of them!" ”

Looking at the triangular formation like steel casting closer and closer, feeling the violent shock that made people almost unstable under their feet, the faces of many Yuan soldiers changed miserably, and the sharp soldiers in the first few rows endured their fear, and tilted the tip of their spears upwards, and the end of the spear shaft was pushed into the soil, forming a dense spear formation like a forest, waiting for the terrible collision that was coming....... in this era, this was almost the only means for infantry to resist the impact of cavalry.

"Hey, hey!" Dian Wei, who was in the lead, saw clearly, and he suddenly raised his arm high...... In his hand, he also clenched a spear with a cold light.

"Brush" With Dian Wei's movements, five hundred heavy cavalry raised their spears with one hand and held them high above their heads.

"They are going to ........." Wei Yuanjin and Han Juzi, who were in command of the two infantry phalanxes, their pupils shrank sharply.

"Throw!" Only a few dozen steps away from the front line of the Yuan army, Dian Wei's thunderous roar had just exited, and five hundred spears were thrown out of their hands at the same time, taking the spear formation at the head of the Yuan army.

Under the powerful piercing force, the sharp spear tip penetrated the thin layer of leather armor of Sergeant Yuan's soldier almost without hindrance, as well as the fragile flesh and blood.

In the screams, a large number of Yuan Jun were nailed to the ground, and the neat formation of the phalanx at the head instantly seemed to be bitten by a giant beast. A large stream of rushing blood splattered up, and a faint layer of red mist spread out.

Before Yuan Jun could react, the heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy had already crashed into it.

The unimaginable terrifying force came like a mountain of seas, and all the soldiers of Yuan who were hit by the heads of the heavy cavalry horses were all thrown high with broken tendons and fractures, and blood was already spurting wildly in mid-air. The heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy had lost their spears, but they quickly drew their long knives from their backs, and slashed left and right with the high speed of the charge, slashing their heads in all directions. And the heavy hooves of the horses that stepped down the war horses rose and fell, and they trampled a body under the hooves without pity, and no Yuan army could block the powerful impact of the surging waves head-on.

Some Yuan Jun, who were not afraid of death, fought back desperately, but they were shocked to find that the seemingly sharp spear tip in their hands could only make a "squeak" sound on the opponent's heavy armor, drawing insignificant white marks......... The resistance of the first phalanx of Yuan's army collapsed in an instant.

In just a few breaths, the heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy cut through the first phalanx of Yuan's army like a wave, and rushed straight to the next phalanx without stopping.

Looking at the cavalry of the Bohai Navy, which was covered in blood like a demon god, and thinking back to the terrifying momentum of Shicai, the spearmen of the Yuan army in the second phalanx almost completely lost their fighting spirit......... They subconsciously retreated, and fear spread like a plague.

There was another burst of flesh and blood, however, relying on the dense flesh and blood formation of the Yuan army, the impact of the heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy was finally stopped, and the long knives in their hands were also curled by the violent impact.

Just as the generals of the Yuan army tried to reorganize their formations to counterattack, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy abandoned their long knives, took the scalp-numbing mace iron rods from both sides of the saddle, and smashed the heads under the horses wildly, and the middle of them fell to the ground silently, depriving them of a chance to escape.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that the two infantry phalanxes were defeated like rolling soup and pouring snow, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel like a crack.

Suddenly, the light cavalry on both flanks of the Bohai Navy moved, and in the face of Yuan's outstretched geese marching array, their formation was like the outstretched wings of giant eagles, outflanking Yuan's flanks.

In the galloping gallop, they controlled the horses purely with their legs, moved along the periphery of Yuan's army, and threw a dense rain of arrows, shooting Yuan's soldiers on their backs. Then, before the hand-to-hand engagement, the light wing-like formation shook and quickly ran out again.

Even though the Yuan army had set up countless large shields on both wings to form a tortoiseshell protection array, under this completely non-contact tactic, the morale was gradually developing towards the brink of collapse.

At this time, the heavy cavalry, which had completely broken the first two phalanxes of Yuan's army, suddenly unexpectedly turned their horses and retreated...... This made the hearts of the generals of the Yuan army who had exhausted the main force drip blood, and their first target of attack was the heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy, and only by completely annihilating the enemy's vanguard could they completely restore the morale that was about to fall to the bottom.

"It's so cunning!" Yan Liang barely suppressed the anger in his heart: "The Chinese archers came out of the formation, supported the two wings, and attacked the retreating enemy cavalry with all their might!" ”

The slowly advancing Chinese brigade immediately opened a gap, and a group of archers rushed out quickly, quickly expanding to the front of the two flanks, in order to suppress the light cavalry on both sides of the Bohai Navy and strike at the retreating heavy cavalry of the Bohai Navy from a long distance.

Just as all the attention of the Yuan army was focused on the light cavalry on the flanks and the heavy cavalry in front of them, no one noticed that there was also a subtle change in the Chinese army of the Bohai Navy...... Their catapult advanced about fifty paces with imperceptible acceleration.

With a loud thunderous sound, dozens of catapults raised their long levers high at the same time.

"Fooled!" Yan Liang's face changed wildly.

The next moment, dozens of stone balls swept close to the ground rumbled and rolled through the Yuan Army's archers who were marching rapidly, and immediately stirred up a bloody storm. The lightly armed archers cried wolf and dispersed.

"Restructure the formation! Restructure the formation! Dian Wei grabbed the reins of his horse and turned his horse's head back in the direction of the enemy. Behind him, rows of trapped cavalry quickly lined up, once again forming a triangular front formation.

"Good horses! Tired again! He laughed wildly and patted the heavy wheezing horse under him: "Let's rush him again!" ”

"Kill!" Under the incredulous gaze of all Yuan troops, the five hundred cavalry once again launched a charge with overwhelming momentum.

"Well played!" Under the banner, a smile appeared on Gao Shun's lips: "Go all out...... The enemy will be defeated!

"Storm the enemy!" Behind the towering formation of equipment, the dust rose up, and one after another four-wheeled chariots surged out, closely following behind the heavy cavalry of the five hundred trapped.

"Ah...... Ho! On both wings, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy shook the sky together, they put the longbow in their hands back on their shoulders, drew out their swords, and took the initiative to give up the advantage of long-range strikes, and took the initiative to cut into the waist.

"Unexpectedly...... That's it! Yan Liang's face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Such an ending was something he could never have imagined before.

"Withdraw!" He gave the order on the spot. Taking advantage of the fact that the offensive of the Bohai Navy has not yet been fully launched, it is still possible to retain most of the military strength, otherwise once it is entangled, the whole army will be wiped out.

Frankly speaking, he did not lose this battle unjustly, whether it was the terrifying 500 heavy cavalry, or the catapult that fell like a thunderbolt, plus the cavalry on both wings with the cavalry like a Hu man, it was completely beyond his expectations, which made him make mistakes again and again, and finally lost.

If there is another battle, as long as there is a plan in advance, these special units will never have such a big impact on him again...... He glanced back hatefully for the last time, and the black eagle banner of the Bohai Navy in the distance seemed to be fluttering wildly.

In the battle, the Bohai Navy attacked 40,000 with 20,000, and at a small cost of 400 people, killed 8,000 Yuan troops and more than 10 Yuan generals, and won the battle, almost shaking the entire defense line of Yuan's army. The news spread, and the world shook.

What is even more remarkable to the world is that the Bohai Eagle generals have always been hidden by the strong aura of the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, except for Li Jin's Xianyang Yuan battle, they have not made great achievements. In this Hebei War, under the condition of the absence of Nanying's command, the Bohai Navy still easily continued to perform an undefeated myth, and the name of Gao Shun has since attracted clouds from all directions.

And just when the news of defeat came, causing great confusion in the hearts of Yuan Shao's base camp, there was a young man sitting alone in the quiet room in the back garden of Yuan's mansion, and he was disdainful of the battle report eagerly sent by his subordinates.

After a long time, he sighed lightly, got up slowly, looked to the east through the gap in the window lattice, and laughed at himself: "If I didn't transmit confidential military information, Gao Shunyan would have won so easily?" He's so famous, but I'm still unknown, it's really unpleasant! ”

"How long will it be?" He paced back and forth in the room a few times, and then he knelt down again with some impetuousness, and slapped the case fiercely: "I knew this, I shouldn't have taken this errand in the first place!" ”

He suddenly felt a pang of annoyance in his chest, and he couldn't help but cough a few times with his hand over his mouth, but when his gaze fell on his hand, he immediately panicked...... In the palm of his hand, there is clearly a trace of coughed blood.

"The surname is Nan, you are really an auspicious mouth!" He scolded violently: "A few years ago, I said that Ben Shao had a short life, and now it is really going to be fulfilled!" ”

"No matter, if you do the last thing, Ben Shao will run away immediately!" He lay down with a sad face, and muttered to himself with a pillow in his hand: "This is not Ben Shao's half-way, since you have already spoken first, saying that you have the means to cure my illness, then you have to save your life and create a career!" ”

"Hey, hey! First predicted my illness, and then did not know that the prophet sent me to Yuan Shao's place to be an internal ......" He suddenly laughed out loud again: "Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, this young man really obeyed you today!" ”
