Chapter 294: Hedgehog Array

When Yang Yi found out that the enemy was about to cross the river, he ordered his subordinates to hurry up and start boiling water, which would be already boiling hot, and the Han soldiers who had been taken by Yang Yi followed the exercise routine and dragged a large number of boiling water over in a hurry.

Qin Lang struggled desperately in the deep pit, and when he heard the voices of people outside, he suddenly felt an ominous aura.

"I'm Qin Lang, ask your boss to come to see me!"

Qin Lang?

Who's that?

A pot of boiling water was poured down, and the Wei army, who was still shouting just now, immediately sent out a terrible participation, Qin Lang was even more splashed, and the skin and flesh on his body were boiling, and he could no longer keep calm, crying in pain and calling his mother.

"Ah......hh It hurts to death! ”

The purgatory-like situation in the world made the Wei army behind suddenly shudder.

How can there be such a person who lacks virtue and such a tragic method of war in this world!

The miserable screams of the Wei soldiers sounded like fairy music in Yang Yi's ears, and he wanted to prove to Zhao Hao that he was an excellent commander and a trustworthy general.

Seeing that the Wei army's offensive had slowed down slightly, Yang Yi immediately ordered the soldiers to continue to fire arrows, and stabbed the Wei soldiers who rushed up with spears through the wooden fence.

For a while, the Wei army, which did not dare to break through from the front, was confused, and they had to start a detour to the side of the Han army camp.

Qin Lang fell, and only Dai Ling himself was left in the frontline command of the Wei army, and he felt that there was a lot of danger, but he had no choice but to rush forward.

The army took a detour, and the assault troops were exposed to the dense rain of arrows of the Han army, God knows how many bows and arrows Yang Yi had hoarded here, and the feathered arrows in the sky were really like rain frantically harvesting the lives of the Wei soldiers, and Dai Ling could step on the corpses of his colleagues and the blood rolling out of almost every step.

In order to avoid the arrow rain of the Han army as soon as possible, the comrades in the back were forced to step on the bodies of their fallen comrades to advance, and those Wei soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground were soon trampled to death by their comrades, and the bloody scene made Dai Ling a little unbearable to look at directly.

"Rush in, there are few soldiers in Shu, you can win by mixing with them!"

The last time Yang Yi was beaten out of the Northern Plains, the Wei army had the advantage of being outnumbered, and Cao Zhen speculated that Yang Yi's garrison would not exceed 20,000.

He brought a total of 40,000 horses this time, comparable to the sum of the armies of the Sun and Liu families during the Battle of Chibi, seeing that Dai Ling had absorbed a rain of arrows, Cao Zhen sent Niu Jin to lead 5,000 people to support, so that the Han army's feather arrows could not completely cover Dai Ling's vanguard troops.

This battle must be won, and if you don't win, it will be difficult for Zihuan to gain a foothold here.

With the support of Niu Jin, Dai Ling's vanguard morale was greatly shaken, and they quickly went around to the rear of Yang Yi's stronghold, and Niu Jin's department also stepped on the big pit that had been filled with corpses from the front, and entered the stronghold of the Han army from the front.

"Sons, it's time to serve the court!"

Niu Jin, who has experienced a hundred battles, took the lead and strangled with the Han soldiers who rushed in.

At the time of the Battle of Chibi, Niu Jin was already a fierce general under Cao Ren, he had no backing, and he completely relied on his own knife and gun to win his current position.

He rushed into Yang Yi's big village, and immediately ran in the direction of the banner erected, he knew that it was where the enemy commander was, as long as he conquered here, no matter how strong the army was, it would face collapse.

Yang Yi saw Niu Jinchong's bravery, but there was no trace of panic on his face.

One-on-one frontal fighting, the Han army has not been afraid of anyone, he personally raised the knife in his hand, staring at the rolling Wei army with an expressionless face, and the strictly trained Han army did not have the slightest panic, maintaining vigilance and strictness during training, waiting for those soldiers with teeth and claws to rush in front of him,

"Raise your gun to meet the enemy!"

There is no need for Yang Yi to call, the four groups of the Han army have been trained very neatly, and when the enemy approaches, they tacitly raise the spears in their hands under the command of the captain, and the uniform movements are like a huge wave rising on the sea, which is in sharp contrast to the scattered Wei army.

Defense is to be orderly, this is what Zhao Hao taught Yang Yi.

The dense spears formed a death line that could not be crossed, and the Wei soldiers who were loosely charging just approached, they were pierced one by one by this dense spear, and the Han soldiers who completed the assassination did not even have too much excitement and movement, in their eyes, the assassination of these Wei soldiers was no different from the imaginary enemy in the assassination training,

In the words of Champion Hou, the backward tactics of these people are far from keeping up with the trend of the times, and they will be eliminated sooner or later in the war.

Fighting in a dense charge requires a high degree of discipline and coordination, no need for tricks, only courage and absolute trust from comrades.

There were many experienced fighters in the Wei army's array, but they had no power to resist under the piercing of this skillful spear, and they continued to fall layer by row.

What's more, Yang Yi's army still has a large number of crossbowmen, under the cover of the pikemen, these crossbowmen can aim and release arrows in a good time, and every arrow will never miss, causing a large number of casualties and panic to Niu Jin's commando.

"Damn, these guys are so tough to deal with."

The first time Niu Jin encountered such a neat and orderly army, his army was usually a scattered charge all over the mountains, and now there was a lack of horse teams, and there were really not many ways to take such a hedgehog array.

However, he quickly reacted, and seeing that the charge could not break through the hedgehog formation, he ordered his soldiers to begin to outflank both sides of the spear formation.

"Hey, isn't this hedgehog array just frontal, I'll see what you can do if you disperse."

What Niu Jin never expected was that Yang Yi had already prepared, seeing that Niu Jin's commanded soldiers began to surround in all directions, Yang Yi did not hurriedly organize a square formation to deal with it, but waved the banner, and the spear array actually began to rush towards Niu Jin.

"Haha, isn't this self-defeating?"

Niu Jin almost laughed out loud when he looked at Yang Yi's actions.

The spear formation is strong in his front, and once their activity begins, it will definitely be loosely formed, and there will be no defenses on the flanks and rear, and as long as they use a big detour, their archers will become lambs to the slaughter,

"The whole army is dispatched to fetch Yang Yi's head for me."

Niu Jin thought to himself that Dai Ling would definitely fight with Yang Yi's other troops again, if he broke through Yang Yi's home formation in one fell swoop, it would be a great achievement, maybe he could create Cao Wei's first big victory against Ji Han since Zhao Hao's Northern Expedition, and he would be Cao Wei's great hero at that time.

The battle unfolded as Niu Jin had envisioned, and although the Wei army was defeated by the frontal attack of the Han army's pikes, the soldiers who had rounded back to the flanks of the pikes had already begun to attack Yang Yi's guards.

In order not to destroy the advancing formation, Yang Yi had already personally drawn his sword and strangled the Wei soldiers who rushed up, and those archers also threw away the bows and arrows in their hands and fought side by side with Yang Yi.

Niu Jin laughed, and said in his heart Yang Yi actually used this method of attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, as long as he held on for a while, the reinforcements of the Wei army would continue to cross the river, and at that time, Yang Yi would not only be unable to hold the Wuzhang Plain, but also had no chance to run.

"Hold on!"

He loudly encouraged his guards who were about to join the battle group, and when the guards heard the general's encouragement, they subconsciously turned their heads and cast a grateful look, but Niu Jin suddenly found that the guards' eyes suddenly became extremely frightened,

Before he could ask, a feathered arrow had pierced the guard's throat!

This!

Niu Jin was creepy for a while.

Behind him is Weishui, the Northern Plains camp of the Wei army, how can there be arrows shooting from behind?!

He turned around in amazement, only to see that there was already a field of knights behind him, although there were not many of them, but he looked far away, and the dust was flying in the distance, and it was visible to the naked eye that a large group of cavalry was rushing quickly, and everyone was wearing heavy armor, even the war horses were covered with layers of iron armor, and at a glance, it was a strong and helpless heavy armored cavalry!

Oh my God, how could this be!

Niu Jin finally realized that when he was about to outflank the enemy, he was also outflanked by the enemy on a large scale, and this Yang Yi faced the Wei army that was constantly crossing the river, and did not choose one to defend to the death, but chose to ambush a large number of heavy armored cavalry, and outflanked him from the rear after the infantry of the Wei army landed and attacked, completely cutting off the Wei army's way back!

The cavalry tactics of this era were far from being so flexible and changeable in later generations, and the heavy cavalry was still a great weapon of destruction and a decisive force on the battlefield.

Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry also followed Cao Pi to Guanzhong, but did not enter the battle group, Niu Jin saw so many heavy armored cavalry roaring at first glance, and the whole person stood on the spot in a daze.

By the way, the enemy has already taken Longxi and Jincheng, and they are now not short of good horses!

"It's not good, withdraw quickly, let Dai Ling also withdraw!"

Although Niu Jin was brave, but not brave enough to lose his mind, he saw those monster-like heavy cavalry rushing over like a tiger into a flock, and his troops were scattered, those sturdy warriors were flesh and blood after all, where could they stop the wanton collision of armored war horses,

Soon, the Wei army, which was still high-spirited just now, had completely collapsed, and Yang Yi immediately ordered to speed up the attack when he saw this, and the pikes rushed directly into the Niujin main formation, and several Wei troops who tried to resist were in a hurry and were pierced on the spot and fell to the ground.

More soldiers chose to flee, but it was difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, and for a while, the crying and screaming by the Weishui were all in one, and the red-eyed Han army brandished steel knives and spears, enjoying this already one-sided killing feast.

Niu Jin escaped in a small boat under the escort of his subordinates, but the arrows on the shore rained down, shooting over several people in an instant, Niu Jin was forced to take off his armor and jump directly into the cold water, and other Wei troops who could not water were also thrown into the water under the expulsion of the Han army, where can they manage so much,

Dai Ling was already frightened, he dropped the long knife in his hand, hurriedly took off his armor, and wanted to mix in the crowd and flee towards the shore, but in his panic he forgot to throw away the golden helmet on his head, which made him quite conspicuous like a firefly in the night.

And dozens of loyal and brave guards have been surrounding him, even if he shouts loudly, they will never disperse,

Soon, the bows and arrows of the Han army were aimed at them, and Dai Ling was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "I am Dai Ling, spare my life, spare my life!" ”

Yang Yi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "You have to live, you have to live!" ”

But after all, he shouted a step too late, he just said that he wanted to live, and the rain of arrows in the sky had already brushed towards Dai Ling, Dai Ling knelt on the ground and hugged his head, it was too late to dodge, and he was hit by more than a dozen arrows in an instant, and the blood flowed like a river in an instant.

"Hey, forget it, just shoot it, it's just a little person." Yang Yi sighed, scratched her head again, and said, "By the way, who was that Qin Lang in the pit at the beginning, check it out for me, I have to think about how to write the recital sheet for the champion Hou." ”
