Chapter 1239: First Battle: Zero Defeat VS Zero Defeat (4) [Two in One]

"Liu Ji, Dai Mao, defend the flank Qin Qi!"

On the battlefield in the middle of the road, Li Cang, the general of the Northern Yan Army, roared hard, and ordered his two Qu Hou to lead two thousand soldiers to resist the flanks and resist the nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry led by Qin Yang Quanjun Yingyi himself.

Following Li Cang's order, the 5,000 infantry of the Northern Yan Army under his command changed their speed, and the front team (facing west) did not move, while the rear team quickly moved northward, thickening the defensive line on the opposite flank.

Looking at the Beiyan soldiers in the distance who were rapidly changing formations, even if it was Yangquan Jun Yingyi, he couldn't help but praise a few words in his heart.

You must know that changing formations at the moment before facing the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, if the soldiers are not well trained on weekdays and do not have a deep impression of their respective positions, then it is easy to cause confusion and chaos in their own formations.

But those soldiers of the Northern Yan Army were not in a hurry, and led the enemy to change formations in a neat and orderly manner, what does this mean? This shows that the drills of this army on weekdays are extremely strict and frequent, so that the soldiers have long remembered how to change the formation.

It's really surprising, does the Korean army have infantry that can rival the Wei army (referring to the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army)?

Squinting his eyes, Yang Quanjun Ying Yi rode his horse and galloped while shouting loudly: "General Wu Ji! ”

Hearing Yangquan Jun's shout, Wu Ji understood, holding the reins in his left hand and holding a long-handled war knife in his right hand, the whole person gradually lay down on the horse's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, ready to sprint.

At the same time, Yang Quanjun Ying Yi and the nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry under his command also put on a posture of preparing to sprint.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

On the north flank of the Li Cang Department of the Northern Yan Army, Quhou Liuji and Dai Mao each led a phalanx of 1,000 infantry, one on the left and one on the right.

When the oncoming nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry was about to enter the firing range, Han General Liu Ji immediately ordered to attack.

"Uh-huh-"

About 1,500 crossbowmen of the Northern Yan Army pulled the trigger of their crossbows towards the nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry.

In an instant, the road that nearly a thousand Iron Eagle Cavalry led by Yangquan Jun Ying Yu was faintly shrouded in a rain of arrows.

This time, Yang Quanjun didn't play any tricks, after all, he had calculated the right time to let the nearly 1,000 cavalry under his command and the 8,000 Changge soldiers on the frontal battlefield attack the 5,000 infantry phalanx of the Northern Yan Army at the same time.

I saw that under the rain of arrows, Yang Quanjun Yingyi, Wei General Wu Ji, and nearly a thousand Iron Eagle cavalry behind them all used a small shield fixed on their left arm to block the upper edge of their faces, leaned forward, clamped their legs on the horse's belly, and urged the war horse to speed up again.

I have to say that the cavalry's defense against arrows is very bad, especially in the face of crossbow and crossbow shooting, the speed of the war horse sprint will reverse enhance the power of the enemy's bow and crossbow, unless it is like the heavy cavalry of the Wei State that is not afraid of flying arrows, otherwise, attacking the crossbowmen with a cavalry team is congenitally weak, and many times most of the casualties have been killed and injured before they get close to the other party - of course, once the cavalry is close, it is the turn of the cavalry to carry out a one-sided slaughter of the crossbowmen.

The Iron Eagle Cavalry, although equipped with thick bronze armor, was still a light cavalry in essence, which led to the nearly 1,000 cavalry under the command of Yangquan Jun Ying Yi under the salvo of the crossbowmen of the Northern Yan Army.

In a chaotic sound of "puff puff", the small shields on the left arm of many Iron Eagle cavalry were easily shattered, and the powerful Han crossbow, which was not inferior to Wei crossbows, shot crossbow arrows through the arms of many Qin cavalrymen, however, this was not unfortunate.

The really unfortunate Iron Eagle Cavalry was directly shot through the armor by the strong crossbow of the Northern Yan Army, and turned over and fell off the horse on the spot.

Amid the neighing of horses, one after another Iron Eagle cavalry was hit by crossbow arrows as they galloped and fell to the ground; Some will even involve Tong Ze behind them and trip the war horse under his crotch.

However, even though there were casualties one after another, the speed of the nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry sprinting did not decrease in the slightest, and I saw that one by one they almost pressed their bodies flat on the horse's back, clamping the horse's belly tightly, trying to use the war horse under their crotch as a cover for the arrows - this seemed to be a disregard for their mount companions, but in fact, it was the standard posture of the cavalry to defend against bows and crossbow salvos.

Under the salvo of 1,500 crossbowmen of the Northern Yan Army, about seventy percent of the iron eagle cavalry who charged in the front team were shot in the chest and abdomen by the crossbow arrows, or the beastly hair, the horse's eyes were red and rushed forward, or the wailing fell to the ground, and even the owner on horseback fell to the ground.

Finally, the nearly 1,000 Iron Eagle cavalry rushed through the rain of arrows.

And when Yang Quanjun straightened up and looked back at his back, he found that the salvo just now had reduced the Iron Eagle cavalry behind him by nearly half.

400 casualties...... Is it?

The sadness that flashed in Yangquan Jun's eyes was immediately replaced by a look of firmness.

Of course, the casualty figure of these 400 horsemen is only a rough estimate, after all, among the casualties, there are also Qin cavalry whose horses were killed and the knights who escaped by luck, as long as they are given a horse, these fallen Iron Eagle cavalry can go into battle again to kill the enemy.

However, for the time being, those Iron Eagle cavalry who have fallen behind will not be able to keep up with the footsteps of Yangquan Jun's winning cymbals.

Closer, closer.

Due to the rapid shortening of the distance, Yangquan Jun Yingyi had already seen the hedgehog-like spear formation of the Beiyan soldiers on the opposite side.

Yes, the Northern Yan Army, as a Korean infantry corps that fought against Donghu in Beiyan all the year round, the infantry against cavalry weapons they used were spears more than a zhang long.

This kind of spear of the Northern Yan Army is made of high-quality bamboo as the barrel of the gun, and the sharp iron gun head is covered, which not only has strong lethality, but the weight is not too heavy.

The Northern Yan Army's spear wall phalanx - this is the formation that the Donghu cavalry has not broken through so far!

Similarly, it is also the confidence in the hearts of Liu Ji, Dai Mao and other soldiers of the Northern Yan Army!

…… Come on, Qin Qi!

Quhou Liuji pulled out his sword, pointed at the oncoming Iron Eagle Cavalry, and roared vigorously: "Prepare to deal with it!" …… Submit! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Han sergeants in the front row stood sideways, and the Beiyan sergeants in the back took a step forward, more than doubling the spear array.

Those uneven levels of bright and flickering spear heads, even if it was Yangquan Jun Ying, he felt a little fear in his heart.

He had never encountered an infantry force that had brought him such oppression.

"Prince, please stop there!"

Among the Iron Eagle Cavalry, Yangquan Jun's personal guard reached out and grabbed the reins of his master, while another personal guard shouted to charge into battle instead of Yangquan Jun's winning cymbal: "Defeat them!" ”

In an instant, the Iron Eagle Cavalry of the hundreds of horses in the front team, without slowing down at all, crashed into the spear array of the Northern Yan Army, only to hear people shouting and neighing, and most of the hundreds of Iron Eagle Cavalry were pierced through the body by those one-foot long spears.

Die......

Yangquan Jun Ying's eyes widened, and his eyes were about to split.

Because among the Iron Eagle cavalrymen who were pierced through the body on the spot by those spears, there was the personal guard who charged in his place.

"By your ...... I also want to block the ...... Win the cymbal?! ”

I saw that under the stunned gaze of the nearby Beiyan soldiers, the tall Qin man named Hua Xu, with terrifying eyes, did not retreat but advanced, allowing the barrels of several spears to pass through his chest, and swung his sword at one of the stunned Beiyan soldiers.

Subconsciously, the Beiyan sergeant raised the spear in his hand to try to resist, but Hua Yu cut off the bamboo shaft of the spear with a sword, and cut off half of his head.

"Poof."

The corpse fell to the ground, and the red and white filth flowed to the ground.

With another sword, Hua Yu slashed to death a frightened and inexplicable Han pawn.

Looking at this soldier of the Qin State whose chest was pierced and panting like a cow, as if he would fall to the ground at any time, the nearby soldiers of the Northern Yan only felt that their scalps were numb - the soldiers of the Qin State were far more terrifying than they imagined!

"He's at the end of his crossbow, kill him!"

Not far away, Quhou Liuji of the Northern Yan Army shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a Northern Yan army commander abandoned the broken spear in his hand, drew his sword, and slashed at Hua Wei's head, preparing to cut off the head of this brave Qin man.

At this moment, I saw a horse crashed into the spear array of the Northern Yan soldiers, and on horseback, a Wei general stepped over the human wall, and the long-handled war knife in his hand swept over with a bang, cutting off the Northern Yan army commander.

"I can't just watch you wait for the crowd to be outnumbered."

Shaking off the blood on the battle knife, General Wei and Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, said lightly.

What the?!

The nearby Beiyan soldiers were shocked, they never expected that someone would actually cross their spear wall formation.

Immediately, the Northern Yan soldiers in the rear team stabbed the spears in their hands at Wu Ji, however, I saw Wu Ji dodging left and right, waving the long-handled war knife in his hand, and waving the ring around, the Northern Yan army around him was injured one after another, and he tore a gap with his own strength.

Although it was only a gap, it was enough for the Iron Eagle Cavalry outside the gun wall array, and I saw Yangquan Jun Yingyi struggling to break free from his personal guards, and with a sword in his hand, he rushed into this gap with a famous Iron Eagle Cavalry, pulling this originally insignificant gap bigger and bigger.

Damn it!

Quhou Liuji of the Northern Yan Army gritted his teeth, glared angrily at Wu Ji, who was killing in the distance, raised his finger at Wu Ji, and shouted: "Surround and kill this person!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ji seemed to hear Liu Ji's shout, and turned his head to look over, the kind of eyes that seemed like a fierce beast seeing its prey made Liu Ji shudder.

At this time, a personal guard of Yangquan Jun Yingyi came to Wu Ji's side, turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "General Wu Ji, please get on the horse!" ”

"Thank you!"

Wu Ji turned over on his horse, brandished the long-handled war knife in his hand, and went straight towards Naquhou Liuji.

Seeing this, dozens of Iron Eagle cavalry followed one after another, after all, before the battle, they had been told by Yangquan Jun to win the cymbal, and knew that this General Wu Ji was the number one fierce general under Wei Gongzi Run.

I have to say that this number one general of the Shangshui Army was really brave, and he rode alone to kill Naquhou Liuji, and no one could stop him along the way, but when he saw the sword flying, the blood flashed, and all the Beiyan soldiers were defeated and retreated, some of them had their arms cut off, and some of them were smashed heads, so they were not miserable.

Seeing this fierce general coming straight towards him from a distance, Quhou Liuji shouted in his heart that it was not good, he knew that he was not the opponent of the other party at all, but he couldn't leave his soldiers and run away, so he could only grit his teeth and order his soldiers to resist Wu Ji.

However, in just a short time of tea, Wu Ji led hundreds of Iron Eagle cavalry, and still killed in front of Liu Ji.

Seeing this, Quhou Liuji had no way to retreat, snatched a spear from the hands of his guards, and waited for Wu Ji to kill.

Ten steps, five steps, two steps......

The two war horses staggered past, and I saw Quhou Liuji's abdomen showing a strange depression, and he fell off the horse with a pop.

Damn it! This guy is by no means an ordinary general......

When he was dying, Quhou Liuji exerted his last strength and struggled to look at the enemy general who had killed him, but saw that the other party casually shook the blood on the long-handled war knife in his hand, and looked around, as if looking for the next prey.

The commander was killed, and it stands to reason that the thousand infantry of the Northern Yan Army would collapse on the spot, but it turned out that the death of Quhou Liuji was only a morale blow to the thousand Northern Yan soldiers.

And another Qu Hou named Dai Mao, at this time, also led a thousand Northern Yan troops under his command to kill this side from the side.

When he landed, Yang Quanjun won hundreds of Iron Eagle cavalry under the command of the cymbal, as if he felt that he was in a quagmire and swamp, sinking step by step.

Even the Donghu cavalry failed to break through the spear wall formation, which really could not be broken through so easily.

You must raid, not fight!

Yangquan Jun Ying Yi immediately made a decision, ordered the guards on the left and right to hold high the general flag, gather the Iron Eagle Cavalry, and raid in the direction of the three thousand crossbowmen of the Northern Yan Army.

He had already appreciated the strength of the infantry of the Northern Yan Army, and if he continued to entangle with them, he and his four or five hundred Iron Eagle cavalry would be completely overwhelmed by these Han soldiers.

"Let's get out of the way!"

Wu Ji returned to Yangquan Jun Yingyi and became the spear of this cavalry.

However, it is a pity that the Northern Yan Army is more elite than the Handan Army, although the defense line of the gun wall was broken, but the follow-up soldiers quickly formed the defense line again, which made the Iron Eagle Cavalry, who thought they could be easily slaughtered, feel extremely uncomfortable.

It's not the way to go......

Swinging his sword to kill a Beiyan sergeant who tried to sneak attack him, Yangquan Jun Ying Yi looked around, and suddenly pointed to the front battlefield and said, "General Wu Ji, go there!" ”

What he said was the frontal battlefield where Li Cang, the general of the Northern Yan Army, personally led two thousand infantry of the Northern Yan Army to resist the eight thousand soldiers of the Qin State.

I have to say that when he saw the situation of that battlefield, even Yangquan Jun Yingyi was inexplicably shocked: only more than 2,000 Beiyan soldiers and soldiers actually blocked his 8,000 Changge soldiers of the Qin army!

Although Changge soldiers can only be regarded as the lowest cannon fodder in the regular army of Qin, they are not so weak, right?

Or is it because this Northern Yan army is too strong?

Yes, the infantry of the Northern Yan Army is very strong, even if it is not an exaggeration to call it the first army of South Korea.

Just a moment ago, Li Cang, the general of the Northern Yan Army, led more than 2,000 infantry and blocked 8,000 Qin Chang Ge soldiers with a mere two thousand infantry phalanx.

What's even more incredible is that with 2,000 to 8,000, the soldiers on the frontal battlefield of the Li Cangbu of the Northern Yan Army can still have the upper hand.

"Volt!"

A soldier named Beiyan drew his spear.

"Up!"

A soldier from the Northern Frontier stabbed his spear forward again.

"Volt!"

"Up!"

"Volt!"

"Up!"

I saw that under the command of Li Cang, the general of the Northern Yan Army, Quhou Gou (Hui) shouted slogans one after another, commanded the soldiers of the Northern Yan under his command, and slaughtered the soldiers of the Qin State in an orderly manner.

Whenever the soldiers of the front team of the Northern Yan Army suffered casualties and fell down, the soldiers of the rear team would quickly insert to make up for the vacancy.

It seems that this kind of tight defense line made the Changge soldiers of the Qin State retreat one after another.

Seeing the fighting posture of the Beiyan soldiers from a distance, Wu Ji showed a little doubt in his eyes.

Because this way of fighting made him feel inexplicably familiar, he was a merchant and a navy...... No, the infantry of his Wei State adopted this kind of closely interlocking tactics, and hundreds or thousands of soldiers moved in unison, attacking and defending together, so that the enemy soldiers could not seize the opportunity to counterattack.

I actually secretly learned the method of practicing soldiers in my Great Wei......

Wu Ji couldn't help but feel angry.

Of course, this kind of anger is actually unnecessary, after all, the infantry of the Wei State is so powerful that it is only South Korea that is secretly following suit? What's more, isn't Wei also secretly imitating the training methods of Korean cavalry in an attempt to form a cavalry team.

It is a very common thing for countries to steal from each other and learn from each other.

In fact, it was not only Wu Ji who noticed this situation, in the Wei army's main formation, Zhao Hongrun, the commander of the Qin-Wei coalition army, also noticed the strength of the Li Cang division of the Northern Yan Army, and frowned deeply for this.

"It's too similar......" he muttered.

He originally thought that the 8,000 Qin Changge soldiers, not to mention the 2,000 Northern Yan soldiers who were personally commanded by Li Cang, the general of the Northern Yan Army, could at least cause the latter to suffer heavy casualties, but he didn't expect that the 8,000 Qin Changge soldiers were actually defeated and retreated by 2,000 Northern Yan soldiers.

When did South Korea train such powerful infantry?

What surprised Zhao Hongrun even more was that the fighting style of the Northern Yan Army was too similar to their Wei infantry, which was no longer a little bit of stealing a star to describe, as if it had learned Shen Yun.

"Feng Ting!"

Zhao Hongrun called in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, the horsemen behind him, Feng Ying, the Korean general and the former party guard, came forward on his horse, and asked respectfully with his hands and fists: "His Royal Highness King Su, what are your orders?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun raise his finger to the northern battlefield, frowned and asked: "The Northern Yan Army of South Korea is the infantry army trained by the Northern Yan Shoule Yi, this king is not mistaken, right?" ”

"Indeed." Feng Ying nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "Le Yi, do you know my Great Wei's method of training the infantry army?" ”

Feng Ying laughed when he heard this, and immediately realized that he was disrespectful to His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, and immediately restrained his smile, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Su, Beiyan Shoule Yi, his ancestors were originally Wei people, and it is said that they are still Wei ...... Well, my Great Wei general, so he naturally understands my Great Wei's method of training infantry. ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, looked at Feng Ying in surprise and asked, "Really?" Le Yi ancestor, is it actually my general of Great Wei? ”

"Absolutely." Feng Ying nodded and said.

"No wonder ......"

Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself, he just felt that the Northern Yan Army under the command of Beiyan Shoule Yi was very similar to the infantry army of his Wei State, but he didn't expect that the other party used the method of training the infantry army of their Wei State, so of course it was similar.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun asked in confusion: "Since Le Yi understands my Great Wei's method of training the infantry army, why is the Handan army so weak?" Could it be that he is playing for personal gain? ”

"Huh." Feng Yinggan laughed twice and explained: "His Royal Highness King Su, as far as I know, the ancestor of Le Yi served as the city guard of Shangdang County, and was buried in Shangdang after his death...... As far as I know, after the Le clan was forced to surrender to Korea at first, it did not receive attention, but was targeted by some Koreans, so the Le clan moved north, and by the time Le Yi's biological father Le Shu was born, the Le clan had withered, and only Le Shu listened under the command of Zhuang Gong Han Geng...... Later, Leshu was killed by the Donghu people, and Leyi's family was fortunate to be helped by Zhuanggong Han Geng and promoted to the captain, so Le Yi regarded Zhuanggong as a benefactor......"

After listening to Feng Ting's explanation, Zhao Hongrun realized: It turned out that Leyi's loyalty was only to Zhuang Gong Han Geng, and the prosperity and decline of South Korea, maybe the Beiyuan Shihao didn't care very much.

"I didn't expect that among the Korean army, there was still a Wei army ......"

A joke, Zhao Hongrun looked at the battlefield in the middle lane.

I saw that on the battlefield in the middle, he commanded 40,000 merchant and naval troops, divided into 40,000 phalanxes, with infantry in front and crossbowmen in the rear, in the shape of a field, stepping on neat steps, slowly pressing towards the opposite Northern Yan Army (Ji Kuobu).

I have to say that the slow advancement of these 40,000 merchant and naval troops has doubled the pressure on the Korean army, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring intently at this army like a torrent of tides.

Don't look at the slow pace of the Shang Army's advance, this is to put pressure on the South Korean army, after all, fear stems from waiting for a doomed fate - when something bad is about to happen, the time waiting for it to happen is the most torturous.

Just like the Northern Yan Army (Ji Kuobu) on the opposite side at this moment, they knew that the Shang Shui Army was about to attack them, but seeing the Shang Shui Army approaching in an orderly and slow manner, the pressure in their hearts increased exponentially.

Suddenly, Qin Shaojun raised his hand and pointed to the left flank (south) of the Han army, and said in a low voice: "Ji Run, the cavalry of the Han army has moved......"

"I finally couldn't bear it anymore...... Yanmen guards Li Mu. ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at the far south, only to see that in the south, with a loud rumbling sound like thunder, the Yanmen cavalry finally moved and circled to the south in a roundabout way.

"Order the general Wang Ling on the right flank and order him to attack and resist the Yanmen cavalry." Zhao Hongrun said lightly.

Watching the herald ride away, Qin Shaojun frowned slightly and said, "With Lord Wang Ling's 4,000 shield soldiers and nearly 10,000 faces, I'm afraid I can't stop the Korean cavalry coming from the south...... Tsk, I'm afraid there are seven or eight thousand cavalry, right? ”

"......" glanced at the Yanmen cavalry in the extreme distance to the south, and Zhao Hongrun did not say a word.

At this moment, the speed of the 40,000 merchant and naval troops on the central battlefield suddenly accelerated, and the originally neat and orderly phalanx suddenly turned into two torrents, turning into two sharp spears, one left and one right to kill the Northern Yan Army (Ji Kuobu) on the battlefield in the middle.

The 40,000 merchant water army waved and pressed in, and the powerful oppressive force was simply suffocating.

Even Ji Kuo, the general of the Northern Yan Army, who had never suffered defeat, couldn't help but hold his breath at this time, his face full of solemnity.

He originally thought that the 40,000 merchant and water troops would come forward in batches, but he didn't expect that the other party would move in a hurry, as if they were going to turn into a torrent and completely engulf the Northern Yan army in their middle.

Suddenly, the 40,000 merchant army was divided into two and attacked the left and right flanks of the Korean army respectively, so that on the middle battlefield, Ji Kuo, the general of the Northern Yan Army, looked at the empty central battlefield and was dumbfounded.

Should...... Do you want to do something?

Ji Kuo looked at the left and right wings, dazed.

What the?! Actually attacking the two wings?

Even if it was Beiyan Shou Leyi, he also showed a shocked expression when he saw this sudden change.

At this time, on the right flank of the Korean army, the Handan army had not yet repelled 5,000 Iron Eagle cavalry, while on the left flank, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, had just sent thousands of cavalry, and the garrison was greatly reduced......
