In front of the Sui army.

Qin Qiong was greeted with extremely enthusiastic cheers, at this moment, he was the hero of the Sui army.

Luo Chengce stepped forward immediately, patted the shoulder of this general, and said, "The prancing horse holds the lance, the thorn will be among the ten thousand people, the three armies of the Qi Town, the great enemy, the lonely horse, the vanguard of the army, this is the courage of ten thousand people, and the courage of my Liaodong Army!" ”

"Someone, bring wine."

A young attendant, Yi'er, brought a bag of wine.

Luo Cheng personally poured a glass of wine for Qin Qiong and saluted it.

Qin Qiong took it and drank it all in one gulp.

"Happy!" Qin Qiong laughed.

Countless soldiers of the Sui army cheered in unison.

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Such a fierce general, deserve a reward, a heavy reward. Qin Qiong, Ben Shuai now specially grants you the commander of the hussar battalion, commanding two thousand hussars, remembering your great achievements, Ben Shuai personally played for you, please be awarded the Order of the Pillar Country! ”

"Xie Dashuai!"

Shangzhu Kingdom, this is the title of a super-grade combat hero who can enjoy the treatment of the second grade, a battle of 10,000 people, may not be able to award one, it is not for Qin Qiong's brave performance of jumping first.

The morale of the Sui army was like a macro.

Over there, Yuan Gai Suwen jumped to his feet angrily, and jumped like thunder.

In his opinion, he obviously has 80,000 troops, how can he overpower Luo Cheng's 30,000 troops. I wanted to use words to repel Luo Cheng, but I didn't think about it, but I fell for his evil deeds, and I ended up so embarrassed.

Yuangai Suwen pulled out the long knife among the five knives on his body and pointed sharply.

"Attack!"

The face lost on the battlefield must be recovered on the battlefield. Although Luo Cheng won a game cunningly, so what, since Luo Cheng refused to be ordered to retreat, then beat him back.

The whining horn sounded, the handsome banner of the Yuan clan moved forward, and the 80,000 Goguryeo army overwhelmingly pressed over.

Luo Cheng smiled and said to the left and right, "First there is gold fishing, and then there is Shubao to provoke the general, this time Yuan Gai Suwen is a complete bite, pass the order, stabilize the position, let's fight with him slowly!" ”

The lineups of the Sui army and the Goguryeo army were actually similar, mainly infantry, supplemented by light cavalry, and a small number of heavy cavalry and chariot soldiers were interspersed.

In terms of tactics and equipment, they were similar, and relatively speaking, the Sui army was more well-equipped.

However, Yuangai Suwen thinks that he is 80,000 against 50,000, and the number can completely make up for the lack of equipment.

At this time, the two armies were slowly approaching, and there was nothing fancy.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Sui army, under Luo Cheng's orders, also quickly lined up to meet the enemy.

In the face of the overwhelming Goguryeo army, the Sui army did not put on the traditional infantry formation. The traditional infantry formation is generally wide and short, which not only retains enough depth to withstand the impact of the attack, but also is conducive to counterattacking.

Normally, such an infantry formation should be accompanied by light cavalry to escort on both flanks and prepare for a counterattack.

To the surprise of the Goguryeo people, this was not the case with the military formation launched by the Sui army.

30,000 Sui troops on foot, more infantry and less cavalry.

The cavalry was not separated from the infantry, on the contrary, the infantry did not completely unite in a line to form an infantry array, but formed a hollow phalanx.

There were about four or five hundred infantry in a phalanx, but there were more than a hundred cavalry in the middle.

The large shield was on the outermost part, followed by the spearmen, and in the middle there was a group of Mo swordmen, followed by rows of crossbowmen, and in the innermost part were the cavalrymen who dismounted and held bows and temporarily acted as archers.

Each of these infantry formations was separated by about seventy or eighty paces, and the crossbowmen in the two formations could stagger to attack the enemy troops outside the formation, covering each other.

And there were dozens of such military formations, which spread out in the open plain under the mountain.

Almost every military formation, there were eight military formations on all sides.

Except for the surrounding military formations, there is a lack of military formation support, and the rest of the military formations are almost all nine formations.

For each military formation, there are eight formations to support.

This is Luo Cheng's improvement on the basis of Zhang Xutuo's Eight Wind Array, combining some of the characteristic advantages of the hollow phalanx of the musket era and the Spanish spear array.

Although in the era of cold weapons, the impact of cavalry was quite strong, but in the era of cold weapons, the lethality of bows and crossbows was also quite strong.

Luo Cheng's army had a large number of bows and crossbows, especially many large crossbows, which could be killed even by heavy cavalry.

And the hollow phalanx has a characteristic, that is, it makes excellent use of a habit of horses. When the war horse charges, if it is lined up in a traditional infantry formation, then it will either shoot around the cavalry, or it will break through the formation.

And if it is this kind of hollow array, then after the war horse rushes into the hollow array, it will not collide with the phalanx, but will only keep advancing along the gap between the phalanx.

When Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, a French marshal led a cavalry without infantry cover to rush into the British army's hollow formation, resulting in heavy casualties among the elite cavalry, and finally led to the emperor's defeat at Waterloo.

The hollow array is not invincible, if the cavalry is in front and followed by a large group of steps, it is still very targeted.

Of course, Luo Cheng's hollow array is not a simple hollow array, if the Goguryeo people engage in infantry and cavalry coordination, he will also unite the infantry formation and infantry and cavalry coordination.

Luo Cheng can confidently take out this military formation, firstly, he calculates that Yuan Gai Suwen will light the enemy, and wants to press more and less, so he will press it up in waves. Second, it is because the Sui army has an incomparable advantage in the long-range range of bows and crossbows, and the Sui army's 12% equipment rate of bows and arrows is not a joke, not to mention that there is also a 20% crossbow equipment rate, not to mention a large number of heavy crossbows.

Moreover, the spearmen and swordsmen in the phalanx are by no means hungry, even the Macedonian phalanx and the Spanish spear phalanx have withstood the impact of the cavalry countless times.

The core of Luo Cheng's phalanx is to defend first, using the big shields and swords of the heavy infantry, the spears and bows of the light infantry to hold the impact, and the cooperation of the nine arrays to form a staggered long-range firepower to support the melee infantry on the outside.

And Luo Cheng's biggest purpose in setting up this formation is to let the Goguryeo army completely rush into his nine-link array, so that they can infiltrate it, and once they infiltrate it, it will not be easy to get out.

At that time, Luo Cheng's final killing move appeared, and he also ambushed two troops and horses on the periphery, 10,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 foot cavalry.

This is the real lethal move.

To put it bluntly, even Luo Cheng himself is a bait.

Luo Cheng withstood the impact of the cavalry in front of Goguryeo, then the victory belonged to him, no matter how many Goguryeo infantry pressed up, but his infantry formation could withstand for a period of time, even if a small formation was broken, it would not immediately affect the other phalanxes, and it would not collapse immediately, this is just like the secret cabin technology in shipbuilding, one cabin is broken, it doesn't matter, the other cabins are separated, unless enough cabins are broken into the water, it is possible to sink the whole ship.

"Protect the handsome flag!" Luo Cheng said to Yizi Kan Ling, and then he smiled and said to the eight attendants behind him, "Don't be afraid, the whole army of the Goguryeo people is pressing, we have won this battle!" ”

"We're not afraid."

A few waiters who were only eleven or twelve years old were obviously white, but they bit their lips and said they were not afraid.

Luo Cheng has withdrawn to the middle and rear part of the large array with the handsome banner, his phalanx is larger, in addition to the foot cavalry, there are also ballistae as fences, antler fences in front, and thistles are sprinkled outside.
