Chapter 153: Battle of Wits and Courage Battle of Tongguan (11)
"Zhao Xu, the three days you have set have passed, it's time to break the formation, if you can't break my formation, you can withdraw as soon as possible!" It was a day, the scorching sun was in the sky, the two armies were facing each other, and the heat from the hot ground exposed to the scorching sun caused in mid-air, and many soldiers of the two armies were already sweating. Yang Ang couldn't stand it either, so he rode out of the battle, and immediately shouted at Zhao Xu in front of the formation.
After Zhao Xu agreed on the time, he waited for three days and let Jia Xu train his troops. "Wenhe, are you ready?" Zhao Xu said to Jia Xu on the side.
"Rest assured, the mobile strength of the Crane Wing Formation is as far as the flanks are concerned, emphasizing flank assaults, but the mobility of its central forces is relatively insufficient, and it is often used as bait to lure the enemy. Two-wing troops, on the other hand, emphasized attack and often neglected defense. We only need to break through its two flanks, and its whole army will be crushed. In the past, the Battle of Chengpu in the Spring and Autumn Period had this classic example of breaking the crane wing array. Boxiong, in fact, it is enough to break this formation in one day, you have to give it to three people, and I will prepare our formation by the way, face the enemy, and let me break the formation. Jia Xu said with a relaxed face and extreme pride.
Zhao Xu was also speechless to Jia Xu, paused, and said, "Okay!" It's up to you to perform. Then he walked out of the camp and shouted to Yang Ang: "General Yang, don't worry, I will definitely break your formation, but today I have also prepared the formation, and after breaking your formation, I will see your General Yang's ability." ”
Yang Ang was taken aback when he heard this, originally this crane wing formation had been changed by himself to make up for the shortcomings of the crane wing formation, and when he heard Zhao Xu say that he would wait for him for three days, he thought that Zhao Xu was very distressed and secretly proud; But he didn't think that Zhao Xu would have to wait for three days, so he was going to prepare his own formation, and it seemed that he had underestimated his opponent. Yang Ang couldn't help but panic, calmed down, and shouted, "Okay! Let's see how you break the formation, General Zhao! With that, he rode back to his own position.
Although Zhao Xu was confident, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said in his heart: If I didn't know the layout method of Xue Rengui's Dragon Gate Array and the Heavenly Gate Array, and use such trouble, I would directly wipe out your tens of thousands of troops.
Zhao Xu ordered, and the high platform that had been prepared was pushed over, and Jia Xu immediately walked on the high platform, waving the big flag, and Zhao Xu's army changed with the flag.
The army was divided into two teams of elite cavalry, the three elite troops of the Condor Warriors, the White Ear Soldiers and the Haolong Xuanjia Army, plus 5,000 well-trained elite cavalry, and soon formed a formation, majestic. The name is called the two dragons out of the water array.
Yang Ang carefully looked at Jia Xu's formation and laughed. Although Zhang Ji knew a little about the formation, he saw the two dragons out of the water array on the opposite side, and saw Yang Ang so frivolous, he couldn't help but worry and said: "General Yang, this two dragons out of the water array is not trivial, Zhao Xu dares to fight the formation, presumably there must be capable people in his army, and the general should be careful to beware." ”
Yang Ang said with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, the crane wing array is more than enough to attack and not enough to defend, the two wings are extremely important, these two dragons out of the water array specialize in the two wings, if it encounters the ordinary crane wing array, it may be broken, but I have made changes to this crane wing array, and I am not afraid of these two dragons out of the water array." Moreover, marching and arranging formations is not child's play, what you want is a joint force, and what you want is real work; I have been training for more than ten days to form a formation, how can I achieve it in three or five days? ”
Zhang Ji saw that Yang Ang was reasonable, full of confidence, and he didn't say anything, and his tense heart was also relaxed.
"It's coming!" Yang Ang said softly. Immediately, he walked on the high platform, ready to command the change of formation at any time, and without saying a word, he carefully watched the attack of Zhao Xu's army.
I saw that with the powerful waving of Jia Xu's command flag, the two dragons out of the water array quickly attacked the crane wings on both sides of themselves, and two generals on each side, holding blades, rushed first; Yang Ang and the others carefully watched these four generals: the first one on the left was eight feet tall, burly, with a yellow and black face, and a lion's nose and tiger eyes; Wearing a red gold hoop, red robe and red armor, very asymmetrical with the face, a yellow horse on the crotch, two eighty-pound halberds in his hands, and four big characters "Evil to Dian Wei" written on the back of a big flag. the second on the left, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers; Black helmet, black armor and black robe, a black horse on his crotch, a snake spear in his hand, and four big characters "Yanshan Zhang Fei" written on the flag behind him.
The first one on the right, seven feet seven inches long, with a beautiful beard, sits on a yellow horse, with a steel gun in his palm, and five big characters written on the flag behind him: "Donglai Tai Shi Ci". The second was also eight feet long, with a majestic face and a burly figure. Silver helmet and white armor, black horse under the crotch, a water-patterned spear in the palm, and four big characters "Runan Chen Dao" written on the flag behind him. The two elite cavalry were majestic, and they went straight to the cavalry on both wings of the Crane Wing Formation.
Yang Ang looked at it, and saw that the four generals on both sides were all famous, and snorted coldly, wanting to suppress my cavalry on both wings with heavy troops, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy.
At that moment, the flag was waved, and the archers behind the wings stepped forward, and in an instant, the sky was full of bows and arrows towards the two teams of cavalry.
"Dangdangdang ......" waited for a series of arrows and shields to collide with the sound, it turned out that Jia Xu had already prepared, the two teams of cavalry in front of were the Condor Warriors, seeing the bow and arrows, the Condor Warriors * took a step forward, the big shield blocked in front of the soldiers, dozens of big shields were tight, not to mention the bow and arrows, even flies did not want to fly over. And the shields were nailed with a piece of iron as big as a shield.
As soon as the bow and arrow passed, under the illumination of the scorching sun overhead, the iron sheet reflected, and dozens of large shields reflected the sunlight to the side of the coalition army.
"Ahhh My eyes. ”
"Damn! What is it? ”
……
Including Yang Ang, Zhang Ji and others, and all the soldiers of the Crane Wing Array, including the soldiers in the city, were directly hit by this reflection, their eyes couldn't bear it, and the pain of being illuminated was endless, and they couldn't open their eyes, and tens of thousands of soldiers screamed.
I saw that the Condor warrior withdrew the shield, and the soldiers of the white-eared soldiers and the Haolong Xuanjia Army immediately rode out, the white-eared soldiers were holding white javelins, and the soldiers of the Haolong Xuanjia Army raised their crossbows, all aimed at the coalition forces on the opposite side, only to hear the trigger of the crossbow be pulled, and the crossbow arrows were launched all over the sky, followed by thousands of white javelins.
At this time, the coalition soldiers couldn't open their eyes under the stimulation of the strong light, and finally waited for the giant shield to be withdrawn, and barely opened their eyes, but the eyes were still vague, only to feel that the sky was dark, and they waited for a clearer time, and flew the crossbow arrows and javelins in the sky.
"Ahh......hh
The two wings of the Crane Wing Array and the places next to them immediately sounded a scream of hissing and cracking, and both wings were cavalry, stimulated by the bright light, followed by a sky full of crossbow arrows and javelins, where to react, afraid of being shot. Even the archers who had just shot the arrows behind him were implicated.
As soon as a round of arrow rain and gun rain passed, a large number of wings fell on the two wings of the crane wing array, and there were more than five or six thousand dead and wounded, and some of the surviving soldiers were still secretly rejoicing, but they suddenly saw two teams of cavalry coming head-on, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, where did they react, and in an instant, the surviving soldiers on both wings were killed by the two teams of cavalry led by Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Chen Zhi, and Tai Shici.
Yang Ang saw that the shield held by the Condor Warrior was covered with iron sheets, and he was secretly surprised, and he didn't know what to do, when he was suddenly illuminated by a strong light, his eyes couldn't be opened, and his heart was not good.
Zhang Ji opened his eyes and saw that he was frightened and at a loss, and hurriedly shouted to Yang Ang on the high platform: "General Yang, how is this good? ”
Yang Ang was also so frightened that he was sweating, panicked, calmed down a little, and said, "Don't be afraid, my lord, I still have a move." After that, the general waved the flag and ordered the central infantry to attack, but after all, the soldiers had just reacted, and the reaction was still a little slow, and when they saw that the flag was about to attack, the cavalry on both wings had been defeated, and the archers had been killed very few, and the corpses were all over the field, and almost no one on the two wings survived. The soldiers were shocked, and they did not dare to come forward to attack in fear.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu stepped forward and shouted: "The great husband's meritorious service is at this moment, brothers, kill with me!" With that, he immediately stepped forward to fight.
All the soldiers were woken up by Zhang Xiuyi's drink, and when they reacted, they all shouted: "Kill!" Then he followed Zhang Xiu and killed him.
The more than 2,000 infantry in front of him were carefully prepared by Yang Ang, all of them were sturdy men, armed with spears, full of length and length, and rushed towards the cavalry that ushered in.
At this time, the two armies were already in close quarters, and Jia Xu could no longer command, so it all depended on the general's ability to adapt to changes. Zhang Fei saw the pike-infantry phalanx ushered in, and shouted: "But this kind of formation, you also want to stop me!" Even foot combat can kill you ants. ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi suddenly became agitated, and shouted at Dian Wei: "General Dian, quickly tell your Condor Warrior to dismount and fight." ”
"Ahh Oh! I will give an order, Condor Warrior, listen to my order, all dismount and fight, and line up. Dian Wei's reaction was still a step slower, and it took a second or two to react after listening to Chen's words, but this time was enough.
When the Condor Warrior heard the order, he immediately jumped off the war horse, and everyone showed excitement on their faces, you know, in terms of foot combat, among all the troops under Liu Bei, the Condor Warrior should be the strongest, and Dian Wei himself is also a master of foot combat, although the speed is not as fast as Zhou Cang and others, but with his skills, he is also one of the best in the world.
With Dian Wei's order, all the Condor Warriors jumped off their horses and threw the sickle spears in their hands towards the opposite infantry camp.
The infantry phalanx prepared by Yang Ang was originally specially used to deal with the opponent's cavalry, and the front were all pikemen, where could they resist the flying sickle hook gun.
In an instant, thousands of sickle hook guns flew over, and thousands of infantry of the coalition army couldn't help but look up at the flying sickle hook guns.
"Ahhh......h The scythe spear was originally intended to be used against cavalry, but it was right for him to deal with the infantry, and the Condor warrior grabbed the rope and pulled it back, and thousands of soldiers were afraid of being cut off or scratched by the scythe.
A large number of thousands of infantry fell, at least two thousand. When he looked at it again, the Condor Warrior had already abandoned his sickle hook spear, and he rushed forward with his sword, and he had already met the infantry of the coalition army. How can the coalition army of Liangtong Pass stop the courage of the Condor Warriors, they were defeated by a blow, and then the white ear soldiers and the Haolong Xuanjia Army followed, and the crane wing array was broken.
Yang Ang was shocked, so frightened that he didn't expect the crane wing array he had carefully prepared to be broken like this. Before he could react, he felt that the high platform he was standing on shook for a while, and he almost couldn't stand and was about to fall, Yang Ang was shocked, but he saw that Dian Wei below was slashing this high platform with a halberd, the high platform was originally made of wood, how could he resist Dian Wei's divine power, but after a while, the high platform was already crumbling.
"Capture the thief first and capture the king, I Dian Wei will take the head of your thief first." Dian Wei shouted as he chopped.
"The enemy army is rampant!" Zhang Xiu saw that Yang Ang was in danger, and immediately came to fight Dian Wei, and stabbed Dian Wei with a shot.
Dian Wei heard the shout, looked back, and saw Zhang Xiu stabbing at him with a shot, snorted coldly, and smashed Zhang Xiu's gun with a halberd.
The sound of a "bell". Zhang Xiu's arm trembled, trembling slightly, the golden gun was almost unable to hold it, this guy had a lot of strength.
"Dian Wei doesn't stop yet!"
