"The pikemen are complete!"

"The cavalry is complete!"

"Herald! Spear Team Forward! Ben will put the flag in front! ”

"Whoa!"

"Herald! Cavalry, follow Ben to the north! ”

"Whoa!"

Although he clearly heard the sound of Zhou Zhi shouting that Jiang Bin was killed, he also saw Jiang Bin's flag being cut down in his eyes. Although he was very sad and angry in his heart, Guan Yi was no longer a rookie who had just entered the battlefield at this time, and he gave the most correct order very calmly.

There was a sound of neat footsteps on the noisy battlefield, which was the sound of the Han army's pikemen beginning to advance. Although Zhou Zhi had not seen the might of the pikemen with his own eyes, the Han army's pikemen were not easy to mess with, and this had long been the consensus of the Jin army. So after hearing such footsteps, Zhou Zhi gave an order very quickly: "The whole army is divided into two parts, divided into left and right to bypass the front of the enemy army, brothers, the weakest gun formation of the Han army is the flank, bypass the front, kill them all!" ”

"Huh~~~!"

The general who had just beheaded the enemy, the morale of this group of Jin soldiers was already bursting. They responded to the commander's orders with all their might, and began to run towards the flanks and rear of the opposing spearmen.

This process went very smoothly, although during the run, the soldiers of their own side and the spears of the opposing side were actually very close to each other. But there was no brass whistle in the gunshot, and the pesky spear was not pierced in unison.

Not only that, but what made the Jin soldiers even more excited was that the gun array on the opposite side was actually not long, they had only run less than a hundred paces, and they had already seen the end of the gun array—great, as long as they turned to the side and rear of this gun array, these fools with spears could not kill as much as they wanted.

However, when the Jin soldiers running behind were excited when they saw the end of the gun array, the soldiers running at the front felt great confusion and panic.

They had already circled to the side and back of the gun formation, and the rows of swaying gun heads in their sight just now were quite sure that they were behind them. But why is there still a row of bright guns in front of him?

This is because what Guan Yi discharged that night was not a solid spear formation, but a hollow spear formation.

Five years ago, in the Battle of Xindu, Guan Yi's pikes had not long been formed, and they had not had time to do more training, and everyone had no actual combat experience. Therefore, Guan Yi was afraid that his soldiers would suddenly collapse on the battlefield, so he could only engage in a solid pikemen. And now? Most of his soldiers have actual combat experience, and junior officers also have basic command ability. So, he took out the strongest version of the pikemen: the hollow pikemen.

The so-called hollow pikemen formation is four teams of spearmen forming a hollow square. Wherever there is an enemy in either direction, there are pikemen facing them head-on. This completely conceals the biggest weakness of the solid pikemen: flank protection.

Moreover, there was no vacuum inside the pikemen, he had the presence of commanders, reservists, archers and even medics. This ensures that a pikemen formation of 500 people will be able to sustain combat quite objectively.

That night, Guan Yi's 3,000 pikemen had enough time to complete the change of formation because of Jiang Bin's timely warning. Therefore, Guan Yi directly placed six hollow pikemen arrays. When Zhou Zhi's army bypassed one of the phalanxes at the forefront, it was natural that they were surrounded by several other gun formations.

"Drop~~~!" The brass whistle in the core of the gun array finally sounded, and then a programmed voice sounded: "Stab to the right!" ”

"Huh~~!"

It was just a face, and Zhou Zhi's troops ran at the front, and the whole army was quickly annihilated.

"Hey, it's all because of this Jiang Bin, who delayed me too much." Although the sight is not good, as a general who has won the hearts of the army, the screams of the soldiers under his command can be heard very clearly. Zhou Zhi wiped a handful of blood from his face: "Hongzu, it's not good, the raid failed." ”

"What's wrong? There's no way around the flanks? ”

"There is no way, the enemy's gun array has become stronger again. Hey, I forgot, after a day of fighting, isn't the enemy constantly clearing the battlefield to facilitate the advance of his own spearmen and cavalry. After saying this sentence in annoyance, Zhou Zhi hurriedly arched his hand towards Shi Qiao: "Hongzu, Zhou Zhi will die tonight, but after this battle is over, please surrender to Xishu and live." ”

Why is that? Does Zimei look down on me? ”

"Definitely. Hongjo, I killed their generals, and if they are defeated, they will die. And you are the eldest son of Da Sima, as long as you are willing to surrender, the Shu thief will definitely treat you well. And the purpose of your survival is to find a way to send the secret of the Xishu Gun Array back to the Great Jin. Otherwise, the next time I fight with the Shu thieves, I will suffer a loss! ”

Hey, this Zhou Zimei is really a loyal minister of the Jin Kingdom. However, you poor kid didn't understand why my father kept me!

When the two of them were thinking about each other, the ground suddenly began to shake violently - Guan Yi's cavalry had already circled the back of Zhou Zhijun.

A general wearing a lion king helmet and holding a green dragon glaive sword, more than a thousand knights draped in their bodies, drove the war horse under their crotch and inserted themselves into Zhou Zhijun's back at high speed. All of a sudden, the screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the knocking sound of sabers cutting bones, Zhou Zhijun quickly collapsed.

Zhou Zhi, whose eyes were red, brandished his spear and shouted in the direction where Guan Yi was: "Zhou Zhi, the general of the Great Jin Yamen, is here, Guan Zifeng, dare to fight me!" ”

This voice was so hoarse, of course Guan Yi heard it. But now that Guan Yi has the hope of a country, where will he easily agree to the enemy to fight alone? Hearing Zhou Zhi's provocation, the corner of his mouth smiled coldly, and his left hand quickly made a gesture behind him. Then, the seven or eight knights behind him quickly sheathed their swords, raised their small riding bows on horseback, and launched a volley towards Zhou Zhi.

"Puff puff~~~" Although the spear struggled to block a few crossbow arrows, there were still three or four crossbow arrows inserted into Zhou Zhi's body. The hit of these crossbow arrows caused Zhou Zhi's body to pause as if it had been pointed. In an instant, a large knife slashed through his neck like lightning. His head flew high in an instant, and before his consciousness was completely worn out, Zhou Zhi finally saw Guan Yi's appearance clearly.

"Han Da Sima Guan Yi array slashed the enemy general Zhou Zhi! Inform the soldiers of the Jin army, Zhou will give the head, and those who surrender will not die! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

……

The time came at three o'clock in the morning (half past four in the morning) on the fourth of August. At this time, more than an hour has passed since Zhou Zhi was conferred.

The organized, large-scale fighting is over. Amid the shouts of the Han soldiers, the Jin soldiers began to surrender in droves. On the battlefield, there are indeed very few Jin army officers who organize a small number of soldiers to resist stubbornly, but these have nothing to do with the overall situation of this battle.

"Qi Qi Da Sima, our army has attacked the enemy's Chinese army tent and cut down the enemy's Chinese army banner. The surrender of the Jin army was significantly accelerated. ”

"Qi Qi Da Sima, lead the general to send someone to report, half an hour ago, a Jin army appeared on the south bank of the Wei River. I think it's the youth team we can't wait for for a long time. The army had no intention of crossing the river and had fled east along the south bank of the Wei River. ”

"Qi Qi Da Sima, the rough battle report has come out. So far, our army has lost more than 6,700 killed and seriously wounded more than 2,300. According to the confession of the surrendered officer of the Jin army, the enemy army participated in this battle with a total of 30,000 people, and our army has captured more than 7,000 prisoners so far. It follows from this that the number of enemy casualties should be in the tens of thousands. ”

"Qi Qi Da Sima, our army's spear team and cavalry team have completed the preparation. A total of 6,500 spearmen and 7,000 cavalry. All soldiers have been provided with dry rations for more than three days. All the horses have prepared beans to feed along the way. ”

"Da Sima, I caught a Jin general, claiming to be the second son of Shi Zhongrong, the puppet big Sima of the Jin Kingdom......"

"Enlightening the Great Sima ......"

"Good! Herald! After the flood of information came in, which made Guan Yi stunned for a moment, he reacted quickly: What am I trying to forcibly attack the village map with such disregard for the lives of my soldiers? Isn't it just to hurry towards Huaili?

"I'm waiting for Da Sima's order!"

"The military situation is in full swing, and I personally led the pikemen and cavalry teams that had completed the whole team to Huaili overnight. Lingxing, Guowei, Zhongyuan, and Boding follow me. The rest of the people stayed here, cleaned up the remnants of the enemy, and counted the results. Well, here it is headed by Zilian (Tian Xu). Don't rush to Huaili, the important thing is to manage the prisoners and treat the wounded! ”

"Whoa! Obey the order of the Great Sima! ”

"Well, everyone, as long as we win the decisive battle in Huaili, my Han's Northern Expedition will be over victoriously! I hope that everyone will continue to be vigilant and fulfill their duties at this moment when victory is coming! Victory will eventually belong to my big man! The ideal of reviving the Han dynasty and returning it to the old capital will surely be realized in our hands! ”

"Revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital! The big man will win! Dahan wins! ”
