Yu Wenwen stood in the military formation, looking at the trench about fifty paces away in front of him (west), he was stunned, there were many soldiers of the Southern Army who had already filled a large section of the trench with the cover of shield vehicles, so he had a bad premonition in his heart: The trench is used to prevent the cavalry from attacking, what are you filling it for?

The camp here is to guard the pontoon bridge across the river, the original purpose is to wait for the main force of Anzhou to capture Fancheng in the southwest and then turn back, so only need to defend for three or four days, the arc-shaped trench dug around their own camp is not very deep but relatively wide, in order to prevent cavalry raids rather than infantry coming.

He felt that now his side was arrayed around the left, middle and right three small villages, behind the small village is the main village, behind the main village is the river, it stands to reason that there is no condition for cavalry outflanking, the other party's general surnamed Yang has to use cavalry?

I didn't see any siege equipment to be pushed over, and the act of filling the trench was obviously telling everyone, "I'm going to send cavalry!" ”

Yu Wenwen looked back at both sides, and calculated that the other party used cavalry to rush, even if he broke through the defense line, he couldn't contain the horse, and then he ran a little more and rushed into the river.

The military lord Chen Wudi next to him saw his brows tightly and asked what was wrong, Yuwen Wen said that the other party was worried about filling the trench, Chen Wudi thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, he was not very sure and said, Could it be that the other party is coming at our phalanx?

"The money is so burning, so much is it willing to use cavalry, could it be the fire bull array?" Yuwen Wen muttered to himself, looking around and seeing that there didn't seem to be any cattle on the other side, he was relieved, he used to read classical novels when he often saw allusions to the fire ox formation in it, so he was afraid that the other party would come to this trick.

The Fire Ox Array, according to legend, was first used by Tian Dan during the Warring States Period, when the Yan Zhao Dynasty, the Yan general Le Yi led the Six Nations Alliance to break through dozens of cities in the Qi State, and finally came to Jimo City.

At a critical juncture, King Yan Zhao died, and King Yan Hui ascended the throne, he originally looked at Le Yi unpleasantly, and felt that now there is only one Jimo City left in Qi Kingdom, and this king can be taken without relying on you, so you can die.

The Yan army was replaced by a waste commander, so the general of the Qi army on the opposite side, Tian Dan, began to deceive, and finally the big move was the fire ox array, tying the oil-soaked reeds to the tail of the ox, tying sharp knives to the horns of the ox, preparing a total of 1,000 cows, and waiting until the moon was dark and the wind was high, and when the night of murder was high, the tail of the ox was ignited, and then the cattle were herded to take away the Yan army outside the city in waves.

Yu Wenwen didn't want his spear phalanx to be taken away by a wave, so he began to speculate 'psychologically dark' again, guessing what the general surnamed Yang on the other side wanted to do, the sound of killing around him shook the sky, and screams continued to sound, forming a weird background music, but it had no effect on him.

He felt that the legendary water attack had been touched by himself, so what kind of fire bull array was difficult to say, so many spears on his side were erected like woods, and they were so conspicuous and arrogant on the battlefield, and it was inevitable that the opposite side would have some crooked thoughts.

The soldiers of the Zhengnan Army, who were originally surrounding the spear phalanx, saw that they were sending them to death and involuntarily walked to both sides, and they would rather exchange their lives for their lives in hand-to-hand combat with the 'normal' Anzhou Army than die in vain.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army besieging the Anzhou Army looked back at the Chinese army, and saw that the two large flags were waving in the left and right directions respectively, seeing this situation, they threw down the spear array in front of them and avoided them on both sides.

During the period when the main formation of the southern army suddenly became dusty, many cavalry rode out and rushed straight to the Zhongzhai of the Anzhou army directly opposite, and the first thing to bear the brunt was the spear array in front of the Zhongzhai.

Seeing that the other party used the cavalry to impact his spear phalanx, Yu Wenwen's blood surged upwards, how could he not be excited about the fact that he had just warmed up after the first battle with the regular army.

Come and fight! It's been a long time since I've had a two-zhang spear formation against horse blood!

Yuwenwen cottage Swiss phalanx to form its own 'Ruishi' phalanx, even the weapons are the same, the cottage is a two-zhang long 'spear', this year the cavalry with such a long lance, if the horse rushed into battle, they did not stab the pikemen, but were stabbed by the spear first.

It is true that the cavalry on the battlefield is very powerful, but to rush hard against the pikemen who are well prepared after the formation is completed, that is, to find death, Yuwenwen decided to let the phalanx resist the casualties caused by the cavalry impact and teach the other party to be a man.

In order to train the soldiers not to be afraid of cavalry charges, he let the recruits undergo cavalry shock training from the second day they entered the camp.

Then, after a few months of torture, they were already numb to the cavalry charge, so Yu Wenwen didn't think that the soldiers would panic at the upcoming cavalry charge.

In the middle village behind him, Yang Ji and Tian Zhengyue and Hao Daring, the owners of the bow and arrow building, were looking forward on the wall on the right side, and they also saw the galloping cavalry rushing straight towards their own phalanx.

In all fairness, they were sure that their phalanx of spears would be able to withstand a cavalry assault of this size, but it seemed too weird, and the opponent's posture seemed to be about to die together.

Because behind the phalanx is the walled wall, even if the other party is completely sure that he can penetrate the spear array, then he will go straight to the wall, and die on the spot.

They felt a little incredible: it took a long time for a qualified cavalryman to become proficient, not to mention that the value of a war horse was much more expensive than an ordinary horse, what did the other party's generals think?

Yang Ji stared at the cavalry galloping towards the other party, and his face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted loudly: "They just rushed into battle with inferior horses, dodge quickly, dodge quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenwen also noticed that the situation was wrong, and then his heart jumped up, because he saw the strangeness of the other party's 'cavalry'!

The cavalry was there, but it was divided into two sides, and the middle was indeed a horse instead of a grass horse, but the horse looked less like a spirited war horse, more like a bad horse pulling a cart, and the cavalry on both sides looked like they were holding the bad horse in the middle hostage, controlling the direction in which they ran.

The direction is facing their own phalanx, these bastards are going to charge the formation with inferior horses!

I don't mind playing with Jin Gui's cavalry to exchange for Yu Wenwen, but it's not okay to play with a bad horse that no one rides on, and we don't have an appointment!

"The middle army and the left formation go to the left, and the front formation and the existing formation go to the right!" Yuwen Wen shouted hoarsely, and the military master Chen Wudi and the Chinese army owner Chen Qijin on the side also found that something was wrong on the other side and hurriedly shouted loudly.

At this time, it will be too late to command by blowing the trumpet!

The three phalanxes of the left, front, and right formations were now lined up in a line, and the owners of the buildings reacted quickly when they heard the shouts, and immediately followed the verbal orders with hoarse voices.

Suddenly changing the formation, this kind of training, the pikemen practiced every day, and the competition every five days was almost practiced as a conditioned reflex, and they listened to the orders of the master, the team leader, the team leader, and the chief, and they also neatly executed the orders.

Just kidding, every time the formation changes formation, the phalanx of the first place can drink, who doesn't want to drink!

It was too late, and the four phalanxes in the front three and the rear began to show signs of separation from the left and right, when the horses on the opposite side were already approaching the trench, and the cavalry holding the horses in the direction of the herd on both sides began to turn to the left and right to avoid the trench.

When the horses stepped on the filled trench, the distance between the left and right phalanxes was seven or eight paces, and when they rushed to the original position of the formation, the left and right phalanxes just gave way to a passage.

But the soldiers of the Anzhou Army behind them were not so lucky, seeing hundreds of meters of horses crashing towards them, they couldn't dodge, they were either hit by the horses or trampled to death, or even knocked several people away by a horse one after another.

The tail was on fire, the eyes were blocked on both sides, and I could only see the horses in front of them, and they couldn't contain their hooves and crashed straight into the wall, only to hear loud noises and screams, and wails sounded, and then the wall rumbled and was broken, stirring up a burst of dust.

Both sides were dumbfounded, and after a brief silence on the battlefield, a scream erupted into a rush of shouts, and the soldiers of both sides began to scuffle.

The battle situation is very unfavorable to the Anzhou army, the spear phalanx in front of the village was hastily divided into left and right, although it avoided the horses, but let go of the middle, now the phalanx on both sides has been glued by the enemy, there is no way to close again, the wall of the village was smashed and no one in front of it was blocked, and the door was already wide open

In the middle army of the Southern Army, Yang Su looked at the plan of killing two birds with one stone, and finally got a 'bird', nodded slightly, and ordered the drums: "All press up!" ”

The drums aroused the fighting spirit of the whole army of the southern army, and the reservists who were waiting in the second echelon to come forward to mend their swords rushed to the middle village of the Anzhou army hundreds of paces away, as long as they broke through the middle village, then the left and right villages would not last long.

They knew that they wouldn't be able to hold the main village for long after pulling out the three small villages of the Anzhou Army, and it was not a problem to call it a day before dinner!

"Rush in, don't leave a single one!" A team of infantry soldiers of the Southern Army was leading dozens of people under his command to rush towards Zhongzhai, and on both sides were the formidable spear formation, but the team felt that the other party could not move in a formation

Before he could finish thinking about it, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the spear formations on both sides, leaning on his side, and the soldiers on his side actually moved, and they actually attacked him in a row!

The small force of less than thirty soldiers was instantly stabbed and there were no more soldiers rushing here, and they had to break through the line before the attacking pikemen could close together, so that the breach could never be closed again!

Inside the middle village, there were dusty horses and broken wooden fences, and the figures shook in the dust, and then a group of people rushed out with long knives in hand, and they passed through the pikemen who tried to 'stitch' the breakthrough to meet the soldiers of the southern army who rushed towards them.

The long knife soldiers, all wearing skull masks, were terrifying, even in broad daylight, they frightened the soldiers of the Southern Army who rushed over to fight desperately, and then they lost their lives.

When the five-foot long knife in the hand of one person was unstoppable, he first cut off half of the head of one person in front of him, and then grabbed him as a meat shield and crashed into the crowd, and the knife light swirled, and several people died on the spot.

The momentum of the Southern Army's assault was instantly curbed by such a killing god, and then more skeleton masked people rushed in like wolves entering a flock of sheep.

They all held their swords in both hands, and the five-foot long knives danced with cold light, many soldiers stepped forward to fight, but few of them withstood three rounds, and after a few brave ones were cut down, the soldiers of the Southern Army began to hesitate and stalemate with each other.

And the spear arrays on the left and right took the opportunity to merge together and form a long formation to block the gap behind them, and the gap created by the group of horses that suddenly rushed over was gone.

The rest of the frightened Anzhou army soldiers fought back to maintain the front again, still with Zhongzhai as the core, the left and right wings were sandwiched between the left and right villages, and the spear array under the command of Yu Wenwen formed a hollow rectangle in front of Zhongzhai.

This hollow rectangle was awkward at first, but full of twisting, and finally turned out to be horizontal and vertical, like two walls, protecting the gap in the middle of the village behind, and the long sword soldiers who had rushed out immediately retreated into the phalanx.

Looking at the dense spears, and seeing the Anzhou army on the left and right firmly guarding the flanks of the spear formation, the soldiers of the Southern Army just shook for a moment and howled and pounced under the supervision of the officers.

However, they all fell in front of the pikemen without surprise, and just as the pikemen were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, a new offensive began, and a new group of new troops of the Southern Army entered the battle.

Their primary target was the spear formation of the Anzhou army, but they were well-equipped and obviously different from other soldiers, all of them wore barrel sleeve armor, iron helmets and masks, and advanced in formation with a shield in their left hand and a short spear in their right hand.

Seeing the momentum of this group of fresh troops, Yu Wenwen and his generals looked solemn: the other party sent elite infantry to forcibly break the formation.

The tactics of the opponent were obvious: approaching with shield cover and then throwing a short gun in his hand, which was thrown at the pikemen who held the gun in both hands and had no shield to resist, and then the guys who looked like veterans of a hundred battles were afraid to draw their swords and sacrifice themselves to charge.

But so what, think we can't help it!
