Of course, in fact, there is no need for those Jiaozhi troops to rush forward to kill, the Western Army's Yanling Array has already moved forward, like an indestructible giant sword, quickly inserting into the Jiaozhi straggler formation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Yan Ling Array is actually an enlarged version of the Sharp Arrow Array, and the Wild Goose Ling Array, like the Sharp Arrow Array, is also inserted into the enemy army in a sharp triangle. It's just a slight difference from the sharp acute triangle formation of the Sharp Arrow Formation, and the Yanling Formation is generally used for large battle formations, because of the large number of people, the larger scale, and the use of blunt triangle layout for a wider attack surface. The Blade Array is more suitable for a small number of cavalry assaults.

Although the Yanling Formation of the Western Army was moving, it still maintained a strict formation and close coordination. On the periphery are pikemen, who are guarded by sword and shield men. These swordsmen were mainly used to clear out enemy soldiers who had advanced in front of the pikemen. Because the big guns in the hands of those pikemen, the shortest ones are also one foot and two feet long, which is good for long-range attacks, but clumsy for close combat.

Of course, these sword and shield men also have the task of using their round shields to shield the pikemen from the enemy. All in all, the role of the spearmen is mainly to help the pikemen do their defensive work, so that the pikemen can attack without any worries.

As for the archers in the middle of the Yanling array, they kept releasing cold arrows to harvest the lives of those unguarded Jiaozhi soldiers. At this time, they were completely releasing their arrows, because the soft bows and light arrows of those Cochin troops were basically difficult to effectively kill them. The light arrows shot by those Jiaozhi archers with bamboo bows, even if the Western Army soldiers did not use shields to cover them, it was difficult for them to penetrate the fine armor of the Western Army soldiers, and those Jiaozhi Army archers could be said to have no pressure on the Western Army soldiers.

When the two armies were hedged just now, the archers in the middle of the Western Army's Yanling Formation, in order to prepare for the hand-to-hand contact when those Jiaozhi Army soldiers rushed into their Yanling formation, all retained some arm strength.

At this time, seeing that those Cochin troops could not break through the outer formation of their western army, they no longer had to spare their strength to engage in short combat, they must be safe and sound in the formation at this time, and they were shooting those Cochin soldiers in a complete manner.

Those archers of the Western Army don't need to release arrows as quickly and continuously as before the battle just now, they can put one arrow, rest for a while, wait for the arm strength to recover some, and then put another arrow, but it doesn't cost much arm strength. Moreover, such a well-organized shooting can calmly aim at the soldiers of the Cochin Army who are regarded as targets, and the accuracy rate is greatly improved. For a time, there were countless soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army who fell under the feathered arrows shot by the archers of the Western Army.

Not only are those Western Army archers harvesting the lives of the Cochin Army soldiers in large numbers, but those pikemen and sword and shield men on the periphery of the Western Army's Yanling Array are also wantonly harvesting the lives of the Cochin soldiers who are fighting against them at this time.

Although the number of the soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army was doubled, they could not break through the formation of the Western Army, as long as they approached, they were basically pierced into hedgehogs by the pikemen of the Western Army, and some of them were lucky enough to rush to the front of the pikemen of the Western Army, and they were quickly strangled by the sabers and shieldmen of the Western Army.

The two armies fought for a long time, even though the strength of the Jiaozhi army was twice that of the soldiers of the Western Army in the Yanling Array, but it still did not cause any impact on the Yanling Array of the Western Army, and even the Jiaozhi soldiers in front of the Yanling Array were very few, and the Yanling Formation of the Western Army was still completely in the Jiaozhi soldiers, like a moving chariot, constantly crushing and killing those Jiaozhi troops.

From the beginning of the war to the present, thousands of Jiaozhi soldiers have been stabbed to death, cut down, or shot, but the Western soldiers in the Yanling Formation of the Western Army have been killed and wounded.

Don't think that there are 20,000 soldiers in the front of the Jiaozhi army, and only a few thousand have died, which is not a big deal. You must know that in the war of the cold weapon era, morale is actually very important. The war in the era of cold weapons is not like that in the era of hot weapons, even if there are a few people left, they can still hold on with the powerful firepower and strong fortifications in their hands. In the era of cold weapons, the war was basically decided by face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, and many times a unit lost one-tenth of the battle and was already on the verge of collapse. Like the Jiaozhi army in front of the Western Army, although they are powerless against the Yanling Array of the Western Army, but by now the battle losses have reached two-tenths or three, and those soldiers still have not collapsed, in fact, in this era, it can be regarded as a strong army.

Well, of course, the reason why the Jiaozhi Army is a strong army, but it is still beaten in the face of the Western Army, mainly because the Western Army is also a strong army, and it is a much stronger army than those Jiaozhi Army.

Blood is often exciting, and when you see the battlefield constantly rushing out, the two armies in the battle gradually become fanatical. The fanatical soldiers of both armies desperately brandished their blades in a vain attempt to kill all those who fought against them.

Although the Jiaozhi Army had nothing to do with the Yanling Formation composed of the infantry of the Western Army, driven by a fanatical mind, they still rushed forward and rushed towards the Yanling Formation of the Western Army one after another.

And the soldiers of the Western Army also mercilessly killed the soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army who rushed over, without the seeming softness. That's how it is on the battlefield, and there is no room for mercy.

When the Yanling array of the Western Army completely cut the Jiaozhi Army Brigade in front of him into two parts, on the hillside where the Western Army cavalry was located, the drummer next to Di Qing suddenly changed greatly, from a calm and powerful heavy drum beat to a rapid drum beat.

When the infantry soldiers in the Yanling formation of the Western Army heard the drumbeat of this change, they all knew that this was the order of the marshal to change the formation. At the moment, under the command of their respective superior commanders, they quickly changed formations. The two flanks of the Western Army's Yanling Array quickly split into two large parts, encircling the Jiaozhi Army, which had been cut into two parts, in order to carry out a final strangulation on them.

Since this gang of Jiaozhi troops did not break and flee, then kill them all here, the Western Army has not killed so happily for a long time! Although Nong Zhigao's gang also killed a lot of people that time, they were basically chased and killed all the way, no different from chopping a piece of wood, it was as pleasant as fighting on the battlefield.

Although the Western Army changed its formation, it was still closely coordinated, and the formation was rigorous, although it was to encircle the enemy, and it was impossible to form a tight Yanling Formation like when it divided the Jiaozhi Army, but the Western Army still formed a plum blossom formation of ten people in a small group, and these small plum blossom formations echoed closely with each other, and those Jiaozhi troops were still only passively beaten.

…………

Li De'an, the commander of the Jiaozhi Army and the king of Luocheng of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, who commanded on a dirt slope in front of the camp, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the power of the Western Army's Yanling Array so great. But he still just stared closely at the two sides fighting in the distance, seeing that his own ironclad army was lost, and seeing that his subordinates continued to fall, Li De'an still just clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were deep, but he never sent any follow-up troops to help the 20,000 Jiaozhi troops in the front to besiege the Yanling array of the Western Army.

The generals under Li De'an next to him saw that their troops were difficult to deal with the Yanling array of the Western Army, and couldn't help but ask for reinforcements. But Li De'an still had deep eyes, didn't say a word, and didn't give any orders.

The drums of the Jiaozhi Army's charge are still beating desperately, and the soldiers in the front line of the Jiaozhi Army are still fighting desperately, even if the damage they cause to the Western Army is very small, even if it is basically a one-sided massacre, but the soldiers in the front line of the Jiaozhi Army are still charging there selflessly.

Although the coordination of the Jiaozhi Army, the quality of weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers are inferior to those of the Western Army, they have a ruthless spirit in the war, and the morale of the Western Army is definitely not lower than that of the soldiers of the Western Army, at least until now.

Li Dean was not at all indifferent to the requests of those generals under him for reinforcements, but felt that it was really not time yet.

Seeing that the soldiers in the front of his Jiaozhi Army kept falling, he was actually heartbroken, more heartbroken than others. Those are all the reliance on him to sit in the northern border of Jiaozhi, and every time a soldier falls, it weakens his strength, and he is naturally distressed. But as the commander of the first army, he must maintain a calm mind in order to command his men to victory.

The infantry of the Western Army Yanling Formation is tightly coordinated, the law is strict, and the offense and defense are measured, which is indeed difficult to break. And the key is that the periphery of the Yanling Formation of the Western Army is not large, and the engagement area with the Jiaozhi Army is very small, so it can concentrate on attacking. The front of the Cochin Army had 20,000 soldiers, but the actual number of people still suffered in some places.

Because the periphery of the Western Army's Yanling Array is small, the face of the Jiaozhi Army and its engagement is actually not large, only the soldiers who rushed in front are fighting with those soldiers on the periphery of the Western Army, and the Jiaozhi Army soldiers in the back cannot contact the Yanling Array of the Western Army, and can only wait for the Jiaozhi Army soldiers in front to fall, and the Jiaozhi Army soldiers in the back can engage with the pikemen of the Western Army, so the numerical advantage of the Jiaozhi Army is actually not able to play.

Therefore, when Li De'an was wantonly interspersed and wrecked in the Jiaozhi Army in the Yanling Formation of the Western Army, he did not order reinforcements. Because even if more Jiaozhi troops are sent, the engagement surface with the Yanling Array of the Western Army is still so large, and it is difficult to play a big role.

When the war drums of the Western Army changed, and the Yanling Array of the Western Army immediately turned into countless scattered small plum blossom arrays, surrounding the soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army who were divided into two parts, Li De'an's eyes suddenly became fierce. He knew the opportunity had come.

At that moment, he immediately named one of the fierce generals of the Jiaozhi Army, that is, the general who was shouting for reinforcements just now, and asked him to take 10,000 Jiaozhi troops to carry out counter-encirclement against the soldiers of the Western Army who surrounded the soldiers in the front line of the Jiaozhi Army.

Li De'an was a little glad that this was the opportunity given to him by the Western Army. Originally, if the Yanling Formation of the Western Army was just repeatedly interspersed and swept back and forth against those Jiaozhi troops, Li De'an really had something to do with the Yanling Formation composed of the infantry of the Western Army. I'm afraid that I can only watch the Yanling Formation of the Western Army defeat the front of my Jiaozhi Army, or take the initiative to withdraw my troops and let them withdraw.

And now, the Western Army cut off its thigh, split the sharp Yanling array, and went to surround and kill the front of their Jiaozhi army, which simply made Li Dean overjoyed.

The commander of the Western Army probably forgot that their Western Army only had 10,000 infantry, and the Jiaozhi Army only sent out the front. The infantry of the Western Army tried in vain to encircle and kill all the soldiers in the front line of the Jiaozhi Army, which was obviously too greedy in Li De'an's opinion. You said that you have a total of 10,000 infantry, but it is enough to crush the front line of our Jiaozhi army, and you still want to kill them all, which is really not enough to swallow the elephant.

Of course, Li De'an welcomed this greedy move of the commander of the Western Army. It was precisely because of the greed of the Western Army that he tried to kill all the soldiers in front of him that he gave him the opportunity to send reinforcements to counter-encircle those Western soldiers.

At that moment, the fierce general rushed forward with 10,000 Jiaozhi troops, preparing to carry out a counter-encirclement of the soldiers of the Western Army who surrounded his front soldiers, so as to blossom with those soldiers in the front line who were surrounded.

The remaining 20,000 Jiaozhi troops were under the command of Li De'an, ready to guard against the onslaught of those Western cavalry on the hillside.

Li De'an is now very relieved, his position is very close to the infantry of the two armies that are fighting, as long as those reinforced Jiaozhi troops surround the soldiers of the Western Army, flank inside and outside, and enter the melee fighting mode, the huge numerical advantage of the Jiaozhi Army can be brought into play.

And once it enters the melee mode, the Western Army has no infantry to come up to reinforce, and the cavalry cannot support the Western infantry in the dog-tooth melee. Because when the cavalry charged, they all rushed into the enemy formation to attack indiscriminately, and there was no way for the two sides who were fighting together. The galloping horses had no way to avoid their own warriors and charge the enemy soldiers alone.

Therefore, Li De'an now feels that as long as he leads the dense gun array composed of 20,000 men under his command to withstand the impact of the Western cavalry, this battle will be won.

Those cavalry of the Western Army could not support their own infantry that was fighting with the Jiaozhi Army, and naturally they would not watch their own infantry be wiped out. The most likely thing is to attack his own Jiaozhi army, in order to implement the strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao". If he can crush the middle army of his Jiaozhi army, he will definitely distract the forward soldiers of his own Jiaozhi army and the soldiers sent out to reinforce him, and relax the pressure on the infantry of the Western Army.

When Li De'an thought to himself, the dense gun array composed of his 20,000 troops was thick enough, and it would definitely be able to resist the impact of the cavalry of the Western Army. And in order to guard against the cavalry of the Western Army, he specially chose this rugged place as a place to set up. When the cavalry charged quickly, it was easy to break the horse's leg in such a rough terrain. Moreover, it was on an uphill slope here, and if the cavalry of the Western Army rushed up, its horses would inevitably slow down a lot, and it would be more difficult to break through the dense gun formation of the Cochin Army.
