Under the dim sky, the night gradually fell, and to the south of Erlong Mountain, the two armies of Yanshu began to fight.

This battle is the first battle of the coalition army to the north, and it is very important for the coalition army!

In particular, the surprise tactics of the Yan army completely exceeded the commander of the coalition army, Han Zhitong, and the commander of the Shu army, Wen Zhiming, predicted that the start of the war did not seem to be as smooth as imagined.

In the large camp of the coalition army, the atmosphere was solemn and gloomy, and the non-commissioned officers of the coalition army clutched their blades tightly, waiting for the military order that might come at any time.

The five generals, Han Zhitong, Wang Zhengwen, Wen Zhiming, and Wu Jieshao, were dressed in armor and stood under the gate with swords on their shoulders, staring at the battle situation in Erlong Mountain with full attention by the light of dusk.

They hope that through the attack of the Shu army, they will test the deployment of the Yan army and its strong combat effectiveness, and only by witnessing the Yan army's ability to adapt to the battle will everyone make targeted deployments and plans according to the strength of the Yan army.

In the mountain road, the mountain peaks erected on both sides block the mountain road, and it is difficult to see what is happening in the mountain road for the time being. However, they could see the sudden situation on the south side of the hill clearly.

From the Yan army's full lurking, to the sudden rolling stone rushing out, and then to the Yan army's unhesitational killing, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, the speed of the Yan army is so fast, in the expectation of Han Zhitong and others, the change in the tactics of the Yan army is beyond his expectations.

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Han Zhitong completely saw that the generals of the Yan army and Yan cavalry encountered in the first battle were not incompetent, otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to be between lightning and fire, so that the attacking Shu army would fall into a passive position.

However, at this time, Han Zhitong, Zhang Yuting and others were not in a hurry to make a move, on the contrary, they were waiting for the elite of Yanqi to come out and seize the right opportunity, it was best to fall into a stalemate between the two armies of Yanshu and the coalition forces to annihilate the Yanqi of Erlongshan in one fell swoop.

The commander of the Shu army, Wen Zhiming didn't think so, before attacking the mountain, he expected that the Yan army was very strong, but, according to the current situation of Erlong Mountain, the strength of the Yan army and the cunning were completely beyond his expectations.

At this moment, the situation in the mountain road is unclear, and in the hillside, the Shu army is obviously in a passive defensive state, and casualties have already begun to appear.

Staring intently at the battle in the south of Erlong Mountain, when he was in a dangerous situation, he had already instructed his two lieutenant generals, Guo Xiaohu and Geng Zhongbiao, to actively prepare for war, if the situation on the mountain deteriorated, Li Dongming could not cope with the Yan army, and the second general Guo Geng would quickly enter the mountain to rescue Li Dongming from danger, so as to forcibly reverse the situation.

In the mountainside, for a time, the wind and clouds changed, the wind was repeated, and the battle broke out completely!

Yan Qi ignored the spear pierced from the shield array, directly ignored the sharp spear head, jumped up on the prancing horse, and the prancing horse rushed into the shield array.

They are resolute, they are decisive, they are fearless!

The war horse jumped up, with excellent equestrian skills, jumped quickly, rolled to the ground, avoided the spear of the Shu army in the shield array, and let the galloping war horse impact the shield array.

Those war horses jumped up and flew directly towards the Shu army's shield array, almost in the blink of an eye, forcibly breaking through the shield array, giving the Yan cavalry rushing from behind, creating an opportunity to charge and shoot.

This method is very effective, but it is very risky, the slightest carelessness, the knight can be seriously injured, or jump too late, step into the spear of the Shu army, and be assassinated on the spot, and the death is extremely miserable.

However, no one flinched from Yan Qi, and they rose to the challenge one by one.

Yan Qi charged like a death squad, which made the Shu army, which was in an extremely bad situation in the shield array, become worse and worse after being hit by a war horse.

Many shield arrays were directly hit by the war horses that jumped up from the hillside at a gallop, and the impact was extremely powerful, even more powerful than the impact brought by the rolling stones.

Yan cavalry charged, the war horse became a live target, from time to time, there was a shield array by the war horse rushed out of the crack, the blocked boulder rolled, causing chaos in the Shu army, the shield array completely lost its defensive role, the Yan cavalry who controlled the string behind took the opportunity to shoot the rain of arrows, and expanded the results of the battle in one go!

There were more and more Shu troops that fell, and the Yan army didn't have anyone pretentious, and directly launched a counterattack, and many cavalry put away their crossbows, waved their ring head knives, and rushed over.

The horse's hooves shook, and the cavalry rolled down the hillside like a torrent, as if to break through all the forces that hindered it.

The black-clothed cavalry, in the sun, the ring sword in his hand flickered with cold light, making this force even more terrifying.

At this moment, witnessing the frantic offensive of the Yan army, Li Dongming was completely anxious, and he was secretly jealous in his heart, he never thought that Yan Qi would be so powerful in advance.

Now, the 30,000 Shu army, facing 100,000 Yan cavalry, the Shu army's defense and attack have become stretched.

The shield array was broken, the figure of the Shu army was exposed, the Yan cavalry impacted, slashed with a knife, in the hillside, in many places, the two armies were in contact, the short soldiers intersected, and the Shu army began to flee in all directions.

Li Dongming knew very well that if the passive situation continued, the Shu army would definitely be completely broken through the defense line by the Yan cavalry, and at that time, there would be points for those who would be slaughtered.

When he was in danger, he couldn't help but shout, and roared: "Hold on, wait for the opportunity to kill Yan Qi!" ”

The situation is deteriorating, blindly defending, will only increase the casualties of the Shu army, Li Dongming decided not to insist on holding on to the death, the best defense is to attack, only the Shu army goes all out to counterattack, will cause casualties to the Yan army, change the situation.

What's more, the Shu army was only broken through the shield formation by the Yan cavalry, and the formation was disrupted and lost its defenses, causing the whole army to panic.

However, it is not the army of the defeated army, the frightened bird, and the rapid gathering will still form a strong defense, weaken the power of the Yan cavalry, and reduce the casualties of the Shu army.

At this time, the Shu army that fled in a hurry, under the command of Li Dongming, was like a frightened wolf, summoned by the wolf king, and quickly gathered, although the shield array formed in the panic was not as dense as before, and the Shu army was tightly wrapped, but on the rows of shields, there were more than a long spear, like the spikes raised on the back of a hedgehog, which could still be attacked and defended.

Especially in the mountainside, it is very difficult for Yan Qi to outflank in a roundabout way, but it increases the power of the Shu army's shield array.

These Shu troops, which were scattered before, lined up in a line, shields to protect their whole bodies, holding spears, began to move forward in unison, instantly from a state of escape, to a state of attack.

In an instant, the difficulty of Yan Cai's impact increased, and the number of casualties killed by the Shu army decreased, Li Dongming noticed a subtle change in the situation, regardless of the situation in front of the shield array, hurriedly disbanded the shield array, and began to form a long dragon, lined up, directly to meet Yan Cai.

shouted: "Brothers, cheer up, go all out to attack the mountain, climb to the top of the mountain, and no one will reward you with five taels of silver." ”

In order to boost morale, he had to make a temporary decision, if the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was stimulated and Erlong Mountain was successfully captured, the court of Shu and Wen Zhiming would definitely reward them lavishly, and each Shu army would be paid five taels of silver, which was not a problem at all.

People die for money, birds die for food, each Shu army is rewarded with five taels of silver, equivalent to their January salary, the morale of the Shu army was mobilized at once, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and the swallow rides, like a tornado from two different directions, meet in the hillside.

For a time, the two armies attacked, and the battle began to heat up, and no one had the intention of letting go of the opponent.

The defense of the Shu army is strong, the flexibility of the Yan cavalry is extremely high, the two armies are in contact, the casualties are very large, the Yan cavalry in front is constantly pierced by the spear of the Shu army, and the Shu army, which has lost the protection of the shield array, has also become a live target under the Yan cavalry, under the knife, and under the crossbow.

During the Yan cavalry, Feng Yi witnessed the changes in the battlefield situation, and did not delay, even if the hillside was steep, he began to lead many cavalry in a detour.

The advantage of cavalry is mobility, and it would be very foolish to abandon the advantage and attack in turn.

In the middle of the mountainside, the Shu army defended, and the Yan army attacked!

The conquest became more and more bad, many Yan cavalry people and horses were stabbed by spears, rolled down directly from the mountainside, the Shu army was scattered, was shot and killed, and the corpse was impacted by the Yan cavalry, trampled on the flesh and blood blurred, miserable.

This is a war of attrition to compete in combat effectiveness, endurance, and the combat ability of the generals of both sides.

At this moment, Li Dongming also made up his mind and completely gave up the shield array's blocking of the rolling stones, even if the rolling stones fell and caused casualties to the Shu army, he still chose a long dragon to block Yan Qi.

Otherwise, if you insist on holding on to the same place, the Shu army will become a living target, and once the shield array is completely broken, the Shu army will fall into the outflanking of the Yan army.

The killing was terrible, the 100,000 Yan army was quickly divided into two groups, onslaught and roundabout, it was obvious that Feng Yi not only wanted to surround Li Dongming's troops, but also prepared to wipe out all the 30,000 infantry in front of him.

In the mountainside, the situation between the two armies changed rapidly, like a cloud changing in the air, and the Shu army turned into a circle, protecting its own people in the center to avoid being killed by the Yan army.

Feng Yi personally led the cavalry to a detour, this scene was very difficult, the mountain road was rugged, and there was no unscrupulous rampage like in the plains.

This attack and defense, the main attack of the Yan cavalry, not only in terms of numerical advantage, but also combat effectiveness is not weak at all, if it is not for the rapid change of the Shu army's shield array, Li Dongming is the battlefield general, at this moment, the war is afraid that the dust has settled.

However, at present, the Yan cavalry led by Feng Yi pulled the crossbow in his hand, and the arrow rain flew rapidly, forming a storm-like attack.

Boom, boom!

The rain of arrows passed through the gap in the shield array and shot at the Shu army, and the Shu army was unintentionally wounded and fell to the ground.

With the speed advantage of the cavalry, the front Yan cavalry is not afraid of the spear stabbing out, and uses the impact force to directly rampage, and the front army's war horses and soldiers are pierced by the spear, and the rear cavalry will quickly make up for it.

Even if the defense of the Shu army is very strong, even if it causes a lot of casualties to the Yan cavalry front army, it still can't stop the Yan army's charging speed.

Soon, the weak links on the two wings, after the Yan cavalry broke through with difficulty, the two sides were short of arms, and the infantry with shields and spears had no advantage at all.

After all, the Yan cavalry was too close to them, and the spear was difficult to maneuver, and in the hands of the Shu army, it simply became a superfluous thing, and they could only rely on the shield to protect their own safety.

However, under the sharp blade of Yan Cai, the condescending attack, the shield in the hand will not form a comprehensive and effective defense, and the defense of the Shu army began to collapse, and the casualties gradually increased.

Li Dongming saw that the situation on the battlefield was reversed by Yan Qi again, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and shouted: "The front army defends, and the rear army is killed!" ”

As a last resort, the only way to do this is to use the rear army, shuttle through the shield array, and strive to use the short sword in his hand to fight with Yan Qi and change the current passive situation.
