But these shields are different from normal shields, mainly because they are thicker and taller. The point is that behind these shields, in addition to the place to hold hands, there is an additional wooden pole to support on the ground. Moreover, the sides of these shields can be connected to each other, and when they are side by side, they are connected by a lock in the middle, which is very secure. In this way, a shield wall nearly one person high was quickly formed in front of the Tang army.

This wall is like a crescent moon, enveloping all the Tang army, and behind the Tang army, is the water of the Qing River. The protrusion of the entire crescent moon is facing the front of the Yan army, and the sharp corners on both sides are bent back to the rear.

The soldiers of the unbroken army lined up behind their shields, and on the flanks were the soldiers of the Wyvern. But at this moment they were not on their horses, but standing on the sides of their horses, behind the soldiers of the Immortal Army, armed with crossbows.

The army led by Murong Ke quickly surrounded the Tang army, and the distance between the two was only two miles.

"Attack!" After suppressing the position, Murong Ke did not hesitate and ordered directly.

Then, as the horn of the attack sounded, the front army of the Yan army began to march towards the Tang army.

For Murong Ke, although it seems that Li Xin's arrangement seems to be very weak, it even seems a little strange. But under this situation, all he had to do was to tear apart the Tang Army's formation, and then solve Li Xin as soon as possible.

Other than that, he didn't have a better way. Because if he didn't attack, he didn't know if Li Xin had other plans, or even other conspiracies. Therefore, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, causing unexpected variables, the best way is to solve them quickly.

As long as Li Xin's part of the soldiers and horses is taken, he can immediately return to the army to protect Murong Wei and others, at that time, even if Li Xin really has any conspiracy, it will not have much impact.

Although it was said that if Li Xin's side was really eliminated by himself, the war should be roughly over, and Murong Ke didn't think it would be so simple.

The formation of the Tang Army is relatively compact, so the military formation of more than 10,000 people does not seem to be particularly broad. However, because it was lined up along the river, if the Yan army wanted to attack, it must attack from the east, south, and north, and the west did not need to be defended at all.

At a glance, the formation of the two sides will make people feel that there is a huge difference, and that feeling is like an apple placed in front of a watermelon. Logically speaking, in this case, it is very easy for the Yan army to encircle and annihilate the Tang army.

After all, as long as the army is launched, and then rushes forward in one go, even if it uses people to pile up, it can kill the Tang army. And this is exactly what many Yan soldiers and generals present think, so they will appear to have high morale and think that victory is in their hands.

However, it wasn't until the start of the war that they realized that they had gone a little wrong.

Although the military formation on Li Xin's side is not as good as the Yan army, it is very condensed, and all the soldiers stand together to form a relatively close group, and the orders are strict and the command is easy.

When the Yan army came to attack in a big way, the first shield wall played a great role. The light cavalry of the Yan army, which was the first to charge, although their bows and arrows could surpass these shields, they themselves also entered the range of the Tang army.

In terms of the sophistication of the armament, the Tang army was far superior to the Yan army. Therefore, within the same distance, the Yan army may not be able to hit the Tang soldiers, but the Tang army can accurately hit and kill them.

Therefore, the light cavalry of the Yan army, which was pinned on by Murong Ke, actually did not play much role at all, and basically fell in front of the Tang army.

Not to mention the Yan army foot soldiers who followed behind, when their own cavalry failed to open the gap in front, they naturally had no way to enter. And what greeted them was a rain of fierce arrows, charging down again and again, sending countless heads in vain.

"Concentrate the archers and release arrows at the Don Army!" After the initial temptation, Murong Ke confirmed what he thought in his heart, and knew that Li Xin was indeed not playing false. So, we started to adjust our tactics.

The Yan army came from Yecheng, and there were still many archers among the 100,000 troops, although these people may not be veterans who had been trained for many years. But in this case, as long as the amount is sufficient, the effect of qualitative change can also be achieved.

Therefore, when the Yan army no longer charged, but mobilized nearly 10,000 archers to form a three-wave strike team, constantly firing arrows at the Tang army in front and covering them indiscriminately, the Tang army's military formation can be said to have encountered a great crisis.

Fortunately, thanks to the sophisticated armor and shield protection, the actual casualties caused by these arrow rains to the Tang army were not particularly large.

After all, the equipment of the army and the flying dragon rider is not broken, but after the boutique created and produced with the money of the old nose, it is impossible to put the bow and arrow into use without even testing it.

The other is because if the Yan army wants to release arrows at the Tang army, it must also enter the range of the Tang army's bow and crossbow. However, the Yan army was weakly defended, and there were very few soldiers wearing armor, so although the archers were hiding behind their shields, the casualties were actually much greater than those of the Tang army.

A wave of tentative charges, covered by several waves of arrow rain, did not cause much damage to the Tang army. This kind of battle situation made Murong Ke frown, in his opinion, Li Xin's soldiers and horses were indeed much more difficult than ordinary troops.

"Order the army to attack and break through the enemy's ranks!" But these two waves of attacks were not completely ineffective, at least, let Murong Ke see Li Xin's tactical methods. Therefore, after a little consideration, he ordered.

And as he gave this order, from the rear of the Yan army's formation, there was suddenly a relatively neat sound of horses' hooves. Then, the foot soldiers in front suddenly got out of the way, and a cavalry team also equipped with iron armor appeared in front of the Yan army.

At first glance, you will feel that the appearance of this Yan army cavalry is too similar to the flying dragon horse. Except that the color of the armor is completely different, basically people wear armor, horses wear armor, and the whole person and horse seem to be cast in iron.

But there is a great difference, that is, the armored cavalry under Murong Ke, which is only about 2,000 people, is connected by iron chains between their war horses. Basically, five horses are connected in a row, and everyone goes hand in hand.

"O chain horses! Murong Ke's proud work has finally been used, and he orders everyone to prepare! In the Tang army formation, after Li Xin saw this cavalry appear, there was a hint of relief on his face, and he immediately ordered.

Thinking about the big battle with Ran Min when Yan Kingdom first entered the Central Plains, Murong Ke relied on this series of horses to make the extremely brave Ran Min always in the midst of encirclement and unable to break out. In the end, because the war horse under his seat was injured too much and fell directly on the battlefield, he was caught by Murong Ke~.

Under the circumstances at that time, if it weren't for his chain of horses, I am afraid that the war between Ran Wei and Yan Guo would have been delayed for a long time. Perhaps, it is impossible for the Murong clan to step into the Central Plains.

The victory over Ran Min was Murong Ke's most glorious battle, and it can be said that it was precisely because of this battle that he became famous all over the world, even Huan Wen and Qianqin were jealous. Moreover, the chain horses, especially the chain horses composed of heavy cavalry, are absolutely terrifying.

And such a successful example, since Murong Ke has used it once, it is impossible to use it again. He hadn't used it again before, and that was because he hadn't encountered a decent enemy, but this time it was different, because Li Xin was a very tricky enemy in his eyes.

With this crescent moon formation of the Tang army, he had nowhere to start at all, so he could only rely on this kind of heavy chain horse with extremely strong strength and huge destructive power to break through Li Xin's military formation. In front of such a chain of horses armed to the teeth, presumably Li Xin's defense line would be torn apart like straw paper.

Soon, the chain of horses began to speed forward, and by the time the horses began to trot, the momentum was already gradually coming out. It didn't take long for the war horse to begin to sprint, and the ground was trembling, and the rumbling sound resounded on the banks of the Qinghe River.

At this time, the attention of both sides was on this chain of horses, especially the soldiers of the Yan army, who expected too much from it. Many Yan soldiers seemed to see a trace of excitement and excitement in their eyes, and many people were already looking forward to them killing the Tang army all the way and defeating the Tang army.

"Order the army to follow, follow the chain of horses, and once the enemy line is broken, immediately enter it, and don't miss the fighter!" Murong Ke lost no time in issuing the order for the whole army to attack.

As a result, the soldiers of the Yan Army in the brigade began to follow behind the chain horses and rushed towards the Tang Army.

However, since there were only 2,000 men in this chain of horses, there was no way to cover the entire Tang army's defense line, and the point they broke through was only in the middle of the range.

In the flank part of the Tang army's formation, ordinary Yan soldiers still had to attack, and at the same time, it was also to contain the Tang army, so that the Tang army on both flanks could not support the battle in the middle.

The short distance of a few miles is nothing for the cavalry, and when the horse accelerates, it is almost instantaneous.

But in the face of such a menacing Yan army chain of horses, the soldiers of the Tang Army were not moved at all, they just obeyed Li Xin's orders and made their own preparations quickly and accurately.

If someone stood beside these Tang soldiers at this time, they would be surprised to find that these orderly Tang soldiers were like emotionless robots, just following orders, and there were almost no other superfluous movements.
