"Crossbowmen ready!"

Yuan Qizhi stood in the middle of the military formation, and when he saw that the two formations were no more than a hundred paces apart, he ordered the crossbowmen to fire a volley. The Yingyue army also suspended its march, using shields as defenses and counterattacking with bows and crossbows. In the snow-white sky, arrows flew into the crows for a while, and smashed densely into each other's military formations. However, because the front row was full of shields, such a volley only suppressed the pace of each other's rushing formation.

Between the bows and crossbows, the heavy infantry behind the shield armor of the Yingyue army strode forward, trying to break through the shield armor formation with long-handled axes and others. Seeing the moment of engagement, hundreds of spears stabbed out together, pushing the heavy infantry out of the formation.

After hesitating, Yuan Qizhi ordered the shield armor to charge, squeezing the heavy infantry between the two layers of shield armor for a while. The heavy infantry that fell to the ground leaked into the Shuoguo army formation from below, and the soldiers in the back row raised their hammers one after another, smashing their armor to shreds.

Sure enough, as Gu Yu had expected, in a moment of head-to-head confrontation, the Yingyue cavalry hidden behind the two sides came out of the flying snow and broke through the two wings of Shuoguo. The spearmen followed, occupying the captured battlefield, and the heavy infantry followed the cavalry to continue to squeeze Yuan Qizhi's military formation. Yuan Qizhi's army array, flanked by shields and spears, was able to withstand a wave of cavalry charges, but was hammered by the heavy infantry and retreated step by step. At this moment, the sound of soldiers in the distance was heard again, and the cavalry on Yingyue's right flank hurriedly recovered.

At this time, Shi Qing led thousands of hussars and foot soldiers to break into the right flank of Yingyue, and for a time slaughtered the light infantry and crossbowmen who were prepared on his flank. Just when its momentum was at its peak, I saw a man with a white horse and a white robe, a man with a silver spear and silver armor leading thousands of iron horsemen to rush over, and he heard it shout from afar:

"What a rat attacked my flank, take your life!"

Seeing the silver glittering spear head piercing straight towards Shang Qing's eyebrows, Shang Qing hurriedly flashed and used an eight-edged hammer to frame him out. As soon as he wanted to fight back, he saw that the black iron cavalry quickly dispersed his light infantry line, so he hurriedly shouted: "The thief is huge, retreat quickly!" ”

Wang Xin raised his gun and wanted to charge and kill for a few more rounds, but the light infantry in front of him died and surrendered, blocking the place where the army went for a while, and Shang Qing had already run away with the hussars. Before looking at the main formation, the two armies were still at loggerheads, so they turned their horses back and ran towards the main battlefield. Before leaving, he only put down one sentence: "Stay and guard the flanks." ”

Taking advantage of Wang Xin's defense, Yuan Qizhi ordered the heavy infantry in the formation to fill the left flank to recapture the formation, and the right flank to fill the spearmen to maintain the line. At this time, his line was led by two teams of shields, four spears, and four crossbowmen, one team of shields, two spears, four heavy infantry on the left, two shields, and six guns on the right, and two teams of heavy infantry and, six teams of light infantry, and four teams of crossbowmen on standby. In front of him, more than 50 teams of Yingyue's six formations (800-1000 people per team) have been pressed.

Seeing that Shuoguo's formation was compressed in front of the main gate of the camp, Wang Li transferred the trebuchet to the front and aimed at the camp gate.

"Put!"

As soon as the order was given, dozens of fireballs smashed into the camp gate like meteors, instantly igniting a skyrocketing fire.

The soldiers in the back row were restless from the fire and wanted to approach the front of the formation, while the soldiers in front of the formation were hit by the impact of the spear hammer and dodged straight back, and for a time Shuoguo's army formation became tighter and tighter. At this time, Wang Xin entered the formation again, and a spear poked a gap in Shuoguo's left flank. Thousands of heavy infantry followed, rushing straight into the gap.

Seeing that the military formation was about to be torn apart, Yuan Qizhi led four teams of light infantry to step forward, but he heard a female voice calling in the midst of the disturbance: "The general should not rush forward, if there is a stalemate with Wang Xin at this time, I am afraid that the remaining sides of the army formation will not be able to support it." ”

Yuan Qizhi saw that it was Gu Yu beside him, so he asked: "But if you don't fill it at this time, Wang Xin will come in." ”

"You can only add fuel at this time, and it will take some time to fight."

At this moment, I saw a burst of fire arrows flying out of the sky in the distance, and the originally majestic trebuchet instantly ignited a fire. It turned out that Shang Qing saw the fire in the camp, so he led the army to re-enter the battlefield according to Gu Yu's previous arrangement.

Seeing the situation, Wang Li hurriedly ordered the remaining two reserve phalanxes to fill the right flank, not wanting to hear the sound of killing again from the rear at this time. It turned out to be the light infantry who had been captured earlier, and at this time he took out the dagger hidden in his body, and fought with the men and horses in the back row while snatching torches and burning Yingyue's military quartermasters. Because the elite soldiers all went into battle with Wang Xin, and the reserve soldiers clashed with the Qinglong Army, thousands of dead soldiers with little equipment slaughtered the back row in chaos for a while. Seeing this, Wang Li hurriedly led his own formation to support the rear in order to solve the threat in the rear.

Seeing Wang Lishuai's banner move, the spies who were originally in the army hurriedly stopped and shouted to the sky: "This formation is defeated, this formation is defeated!" ”

Yingyue's soldiers, who had fought fiercely in front of the battle, looked back and saw Wang Li's handsome banner moving backwards, and at the same time a fire was burning on the formation, so he believed it was true and lost his fighting morale for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Yu hurriedly pulled Yuan Qizhi and shouted: "The time has come, the time has come!" ”

In the sound of the hot soldiers, Yuan Qizhi looked at the shape of his mouth and knew what Gu Yu was shouting, so he hurriedly ordered the army to play military music again and beat the drum to counterattack.

At this time, the four teams of cavalry lying in the barracks also killed from both sides, attacking the Yingyue army that originally surrounded the two wings of the Shuoguo army array. Wang Xin's side was fine, but the side that was not commanded by the general collapsed in an instant when he saw the situation, and the cavalry rushed to the main formation and fled.

Seeing that Yingyue's front army was about to break and flee, Shang Qing also launched a charge order, pressing all the dozens of teams of men and horses in the four formations. The narrow hillside was full of black charging sergeants, and the black background blue pattern coiled dragon banner floating in the snow. The two reservists who thought that the previous army had been defeated had no will to fight for a while, and they all retreated to Wang Li's main formation.

"This formation has not been defeated, but the rear has been attacked. Brothers and I are here to resist, Yuan Qizhi will not be able to hold on! Seeing this, Wang Xin shouted in the army, although the sound was difficult to spread far in the wind and snow and the sound of iron collisions, but he still stabilized the two military formations on the flank, tens of thousands of horses.

Yuan Qizhi ordered the crossbowmen to shoot and kill the ground, and the light infantry and hussars followed and annihilated, and then led the heavy infantry and pikemen to surround Wang Xin's two formations.

"Kill the enemy general Wang Xin, reward a thousand gold, advance to the fifth level, and seal the township!" Yuan Qizhi ordered the herald to shout in the military array, and the Shuoguo soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time, seemed to be beaten for a while, desperately fighting towards the white horse.

Within half an hour, Wang Xin's army formation was compressed by tens of thousands of people on a piece of ground within a radius of dozens of zhang, and he was unable to move at this time, even if he rode a peerless horse. Yuan Qizhi ordered the shield armor soldiers to surround it, and the spearmen stabbed several spear heads from the gaps in the shield armor, and the drums beat in unison, and the spears pierced a further shot.

Wang Xin saw that his army formation was being plucked off layer by layer like an onion, and thousands of people were pierced by spears and fell in a pool of blood without a single drum. This open space of dozens of zhang is like a slaughterhouse at the moment, and if it goes on like this for a while, he will be the last one among ten thousand people.

"General, break through!"

Some soldiers around him raised their heads and shouted.

However, Wang Xin sat on a high place, and could see the armor of the black pressed Shuoguo all around.

"Let's take our lives to protect the general and break through!"

Another soldier shouted.

Wang Xin wiped a handful of blood from his face and said to everyone: "I don't ask you and me to live, I just want not to die like this." Whoever believes in me, the king, fights with me! ”

I saw that with a wave of his silver spear, thousands of soldiers at the point abandoned their blades and went straight to the spear with their flesh. For a while, the spear on one side was full of human bodies, and the Shuoguo soldiers desperately pulled out their spears, but they couldn't move. The Yingyue soldiers who were watching the thousands of spears in the formation actually grabbed the spearhead desperately, and the voice shouted desperately to the back:

"Now!"

The heavy infantry took turns to open the hammer and tomahawk, whether it was the remains of their own men or the shield of Shuoguo, and smashed straight over. The originally seamless iron bucket array was instantly spelled out by flesh and blood. Yuan Qizhi, who was supervising the battle on the side, did not expect that he would break a gap by committing suicide, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to step forward and intercept Wang Xin, who was about to break through.

Wang Xin waved the silver spear to stab left and right, and suddenly saw the entrance of the military formation, and a golden-armored black horse in front of him rushed over. When he looked up, he saw a golden four-edged wedge the thickness of a finger smashing head-on, and as soon as he swung his spear, he saw sparks burst out on the iron spear, and his hands were shaken to the point of pain.

"The name of the god of war is not wasted!" Wang Xin hurriedly pulled away the horse-drawn half-step away.

Yuan Qizhi also immediately said on the spot: "Each other, chasing the name of the wind spear king Xin, the old man has already heard of it." ”

Wang Xin snorted, and suddenly a shot swung out, shooting out a gun spark the size of a wheel. Yuan Qizhi left and right, the main gong in the middle, firmly received the next shot, and stuck the spear in his double mace. Wang Xingang used his strength to tie the gun, and Yuan Qizhi's double mace effortlessly led it away. Pulling the gun back again, Yuan Qizhi deliberately hung it with the main mace, and hit Wang Xin's ribs with his left hand. If it weren't for the iron armor separating them, this light blow would be enough for others to turn on their backs.

There was pain in the ribs, and Wang Xin turned back to the gun to stab Yuan Qizhi's horse. Yuan Qizhi pulled his gun to protect the horse, but saw that he was just shaking, and he only ran to the door in front of him as soon as he lifted the gun. The tip of the spear rubbed a scar on the Erlong playball helmet, Yuan Qizhi turned around again, and saw the silver spear stabbing at his neck again, so he hurriedly waved it sideways, only to see the head of the spear grazing the neck guard and poking out.

The two trembled for three or two rounds, and the injuries were all armor. Wang Xin saw that if he was entangled again, he was afraid that he would be under siege, so he hurriedly drew his gun and led his troops to retreat. The heavy infantry behind him rushed towards Yuan Qizhi, although he was drawn to a blur of flesh and blood by his two hammers, but also opened a lot of distance from Wang Xin. Seeing this, Gu Yu in the distance raised his crossbow with an arrow, and wanted to shoot the horse, but it happened to be pierced on Wang Xin's thigh.

Wang Xin desperately clamped the horse's belly, and fought with his life by the soldiers on the left and right, and then he broke out of the encirclement. Although Yuan Qizhi was not very reconciled, before the war was over, he no longer ordered the pursuit.

Speaking of Wang Li's side, when he led his troops to solve the chaos behind him, and when he returned to the mountain, he saw that the front line had been defeated, and the right flank was also in a bitter battle. Although he set up the banner again and tried his best to maintain the collapsed formation, he also knew that the general trend had gone, and he was afraid that he would be unable to return to the sky in this battle. So he moved his formation to the front of the formation, organized the defensive line with the remnants of the gathered army, and protected the rest of the men and horses from withdrawing from the position. And Wang Xin's lineage, because the direction of the breakthrough is different from his own, he can't care about much, so he can only wait for the future to converge.

When Wang Li saw Yuan Qizhi's army coming here, he planted thousands of dead soldiers on his head and led his own army to retreat. Fortunately, before the decisive battle, Wang Li had already planned the retreat route after the defeat with the generals, so that he would not be too embarrassed when he withdrew his troops. Yuan Qizhi saw that his scattered army could withdraw in an orderly manner in a moment, so he knew that preparations should have been made on the way back, so he ordered the army to stop the pursuit, and instead clean up the battlefield and extinguish the fire in the camp.
