Chapter 131: Breaking Gongsun Zhan
It is said that since Liu Yi came back from Chen Liu, he took out all the inventory equipment of the Arsenal Division and handed it over to Zhang Fei and a few people, which was enough to arm Zhang Fei and others' subordinates.
Because of the prolific capabilities of the Arsenal Division, almost every soldier had a cuirass to wear, and all of them were steel armor, and every shield soldier also had a steel shield.
Xi Zhicai's big array is the long snake array in Gongsun Zhan's mouth, the long snake array is a bit obvious but it also has fatal flaws, in order to make up for these defects, Xi Zhicai has made some moves in the equipment of the soldiers.
After deciding to activate the Long Snake Array, Liu Yi ordered Zhang Fei and others to collect the steel armor and steel shields of the soldiers and hand them over to the craftsman in charge of weapon building on Liu Yu's side.
According to Liu Yi's requirements, these craftsmen polished and polished these equipment with grinding stones, which were as reflective as a mirror.
The reason why the ancients named this array "One Word Long Snake Array" is because this array is like a python, and the greatest lethality lies in "twisting", and in order to achieve the greatest damage, the biggest difficulty is how to winch the enemy into the array.
If it is an ordinary snake formation, if the enemy master is a person like Gongsun Zhan who is well versed in formation, as long as he drags the head and tail of the snake and makes it close, this formation will be defeated. And those polished gear are built to prevent that from happening.
When Gongsun Zhan's army rushed up and prepared to drag the head and tail of the large array, Liu Yi's army reflected a strong sunlight that caused a great degree of blinding effect to the enemy, so that before the enemy could react, Yao Lie and Guan Yu quickly surrounded all the enemies and completed the strongest killing move of the snake formation.
The shield soldiers who acted as the scales of the snake were now holding half-human-high shields, the shields were two-layered, the inner layer was made of rattan, and the outer city was inlaid with this polished steel shield, and these shield soldiers adjusted the angle of the steel shield back and forth, shooting a dazzling white light at the enemies who wanted to rush over.
Under the illumination of the strong light, the enemies in the formation lowered their heads and did not dare to look forward, so they could only rely on their senses to rush out of the formation in a panic.
At this time, the archers in the center played a powerful role, and those enemy soldiers who were shaking their heads and scurrying around by the strong light were like moving targets, allowing the archers to shoot them.
Some of them were lucky enough to dodge a few waves of arrows and rush in front of the shieldmen, only to be stabbed to the ground by the cold spears behind the shieldmen.
At this time, the entire large array, under the command of Xi Zhicai, was like a meat grinder strangling the enemies in the array.
Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Guan Jing beside Gongsun Zan in the distance, looking at the scene in front of them, cold sweat came down, and they couldn't help but feel glad that they didn't play just now.
"Is this still a fucking snake formation? This is the dragon formation, this is definitely the dragon formation! A soldier behind Gongsun Chan looked at the bloody scene in front of him, and couldn't help muttering in fright.
Hearing this, in order to alleviate the fear in his heart due to the horror, Gongsun Chan pulled out his saber and scolded "something I don't know", and then cut the soldier behind him to the ground.
"Whoever dares to talk nonsense about the cholera army will not be spared!" Gongsun
Chan yelled angrily at the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers were frightened by Gongsun Chan's actions, and the horror caused by the large array was replaced by fear of Gongsun Chan.
After hearing Gongsun Zhan's scolding, Tian Kai and the others also came to their senses.
"General, what should I do now?" Looking at the soldiers in the big array, most of them had been killed and wounded in a short period of time, Tian Kai hurriedly asked Gongsun Zhan.
"General, no, let's withdraw first and then make plans!" At this time, Guan Jing on the side opened his mouth and suggested.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan ignored a few people, but looked at the direction of the city tower in Jixian County with a gloomy face.
I saw that there was no shadow of Liu Yi on the city tower at this time, and Liu Yu was standing in the center of the city tower with several practitioners, pointing in the direction where Gongsun Chan was and looking up and laughing.
Looking at the appearance, Gongsun Chan knew that Liu Yu and the others must be laughing at themselves, and the proud and conceited Gongsun Chan saw Liu Yu and the others laughing at him so much, how could he be willing to withdraw from the army.
"The two of you will take 10,000 soldiers and horses to rescue the soldiers in the formation!" In a fit of rage, Gongsun Chan pointed at Tian Kai and Shan Jing and shouted
Tian Kai and the two had a cold war when they heard this, but no one dared to respond, and Guan Jing on the side no longer cared about the usual grievances with Tian Kai at this time, and opened his mouth to persuade Gongsun Zan to take back his life.
Seeing the three of them like this, Gongsun Zhan angrily pointed at the big array and shouted, "The snake formation has been tightened, if you don't send troops at this time, do you have to wait until the soldiers inside are dead and the snake formation recovers?" ”
Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly looked at the big array, and saw that the big array was just as Gongsun Chan said, at this time, the snake array was entangled, and the snake tail Guan Yu's army had already retracted to the center, and it seemed that the snake array would not be able to stretch for a while, and if it rushed up at this time, there might be a chance to break the formation.
After Tian Kai and Shan Jing glanced at each other, they hurriedly rushed to the large array with 10,000 troops each according to Gongsun Zhan's instructions.
The general on the stage saw two more armies killed, and showed a disdainful smile.
"Hmph~ I didn't expect this Gongsun Chan to really have two hits!"
After speaking, Xi Zhicai turned around and raised the flag order to Liu Yu and the others at the city tower.
At this time, Liu Yu and the others were happily laughing while paying attention to the dynamics on the field, and when they saw that Xi Zhicai was waving the flag order to his side, Liu Yu hurriedly turned around and ordered, "Blow the horn quickly!" ”
As soon as the order was given, I saw that the trumpeters who had been prepared on the towers on both sides of the city had already picked up the horns in their hands, took a deep breath, and then blew them together.
"Woo~woo~" The long and heavy sound of the horn suddenly spread in all directions.
Gongsun Zhan, who heard the sound of the horn, couldn't help but look at the big array vigilantly.
With the sound of the horn, I saw the snake formation suddenly disperse, except for a few soldiers who were still encircling and suppressing the enemy, the rest of the people gathered together quickly and orderly, forming a large array of isosceles acute triangles.
The outermost two waists of the large array were composed of two thousand poisonous scorpions and the remaining cavalry, and the rest of the infantry was in the middle of the triangular array.
Seeing Tian Kai and Shan Jing rushing towards him, Yao Lie and Guan Yu, who were at the top of the triangle array, rushed forward with a loud shout.
I saw the triangular array at this time
Like an arrow, after piercing into the army of Tian Kai and the others, he rushed straight in the direction where Gongsun Chan was.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan, who was on the chariot in the distance, was not only not afraid, but laughed.
"Hahaha~ mediocre, if you keep the snake formation, I really can't do anything about you, I didn't expect you to abandon the snake formation, and in turn make such a vulgar formation!"
At this time, Guan Jing on the side was not as calm as Gongsun Zhan, and when he saw Yao Lie and the others leading the army all the way to their direction, they hurriedly shouted to Gongsun Zhan: "I'm afraid the enemy is going to capture the thief and capture the king first!" This place should not stay for a long time, so the general should retreat quickly! ”
Gongsun Chan didn't pay attention to Guan Jing's words, but jumped off the chariot and jumped onto his own war horse.
"Today I will let you know what it means to repay the other with the way of the other!"
At this time, Gongsun Zhan's steel gun was raised, pointing at the enemy who had already rushed over and shouting, "Surround them for me, not a single one can run!" ”
After speaking, Gongsun Chan took the lead, and Le Ma rushed to the direction where Yao Lie and the others were killed, and the 20,000 soldiers behind him saw that the commander was like this, and they also rushed forward with shouts.
Just when Gongsun Zhan's army surrounded Yao Lie and Guan Yu, who were deep in the depths, and were preparing to be trapped, they saw that a deafening shout of killing suddenly came from the two wings of the army, and an army under the banner of Liu and Wu was rushing towards this side.
Those two armies that seemed to fall from the sky were led by Liu Yi and Wu Liang. It is said that after learning the news of Gongsun Zhan's arrival this morning, Liu Yi and Wu Liang each led 10,000 soldiers to ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides in front of Jixian County, and the sound of the horn just now was to report to the two.
Seeing the two armies of Liu Yi and Wu Liang appear, Gongsun Zhan, who had always been conceited, finally showed a panicked expression.
"Withdraw ~ Withdraw ~" Gongsun Zhan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knew his situation and danger at this time, so he didn't care about anything else, and after giving the order to withdraw the army, he fled in the direction he came from under the escort of his personal guards. Seeing this, the soldiers around him also fled with Gongsun Zhan.
At this time, the commander in charge of Mingjin in Gongsun Zhan's army no longer knew where to flee at this time, and without the command officer's order, when those soldiers in the distance received the order to withdraw the army, Liu Yi and Wu Liang's army had already been killed.
Gongsun Zhan's army, which was still thinking of besieging Yao Lie and the others, was surrounded by Liu Yi and others at this time.
In the face of the internal and external attacks of Liu Yi, Yao Lie and others, even the extremely high-quality Gongsun Zan army was in chaos at this time, and many people had begun to run around.
Seeing this, Tian Kai and Shan Jing, who were surrounded by it, quickly gathered the soldiers who still had the strength to fight around them, and then rushed to a place together, trying to open a gap together.
After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it is tricked, but Gongsun Zhan's army is still much more than Liu Yi and others' soldiers, under the hard impact of Tian Kai and the others, they finally tore a gap in Wu Liang, and then rushed out of the encirclement with the rest of the army, chasing Gongsun Chan and Guan Jing.
At this time, Zhang Fei, who was in the remnants of the enemy in the siege and killing array behind him, also completed the task and
Liu Yi and the others converged.
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan led his troops to flee in embarrassment, Liu Yi only hesitated for a moment, and then chased after Zhang Fei, Yao Lie, and Guan Yu, while Wu Liang was responsible for staying behind to deal with those enemies who had not had time to escape.
It is said that those enemy troops who were abandoned behind, although they had been surrounded by Wu Liang's army at this time, but none of them surrendered, Wu Liang had no choice but to order all of them to be killed, and after paying the lives of nearly 2,000 soldiers, those stubborn enemies were finally killed.
Liu Yi and others are here. After chasing for about half an hour, everyone came to the place where Gongsun Chan and the others had camped before.
Seeing that there was still a lot of grain and grass in the camp, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Gongsun Chan is really good, he left us so much grain and grass before leaving!" Zhang Fei laughed and sarcastically mocked Gongsun Zhan.
At this time, Liu Yi was also very happy in his heart, and when he saw that all kinds of military equipment in the camp were still there, he thought that this was because Gongsun Zhan had fled in a hurry and had not been able to clean up.
Liu Yi ordered one of his personal guards to pack these grain and grass utensils, and then led Zhang Fei and a few people to chase after Gongsun Zhan, while the soldiers who packed the grain and grass followed closely with the grain and grass.
In the evening, Liu Yi and others crossed the Gushui and came to the outside of Lu County between Jixian and Wuzhong.
At this time, Lu County has almost become a dead city, this county has been slaughtered by Tian Kai and Shan Jing before Gongsun Zan attacked Jixian, and the corpses in the city are all over the ground at this time.
Seeing this, Liu Yi and the others scolded Gongsun Zhan for his cruelty, and at the same time sent people to the city to look for any survivors.
In the end, the whole city was searched and no living person was found, Liu Yi couldn't bear it, so he asked the soldiers to burn all the corpses.
Because the dead air in the city was too heavy, Liu Yi asked everyone to set up a large camp five miles outside the city.
At night, the soldiers who were carrying the grain and grass taken from Gongsun Zhan's camp also returned to Liu Yi's camp.
The fire lasted all night, and the flames and smoke kept people awake for a long time.
Early the next morning, under the protection of Wu Liang and others, Xi Zhicai rushed to Liu Yi's camp with dozens of truckloads of grain and grass given by Liu Yu.
When he learned what happened in Qianlu County, he was also embarrassed.
After everyone had a hasty breakfast together, Liu Yi ordered the soldiers to pull out the camp and march in the direction of Endless City.
When everyone came to the city gate of Lu County again, Liu Yi felt infinite sadness in his heart, and couldn't help jumping off his horse and walking towards the city gate.
In the end, Liu Yi stood in front of the burned city gate for a long time, and no one behind him knew what Liu Yi was thinking at the moment.
Just when Xi Zhicai and others wanted to step forward to comfort Liu Yi, they saw Liu Yi pull out the saber on his waist and carve eight big characters on the city walls on both sides of the city gate.
"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer! ”
