Chapter 8: The Strange Battle Formation

Beiliang City is broken, and the fruits of victory are just around the corner, but it seems to be close to the end of the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The frustration of the Jin army's attack made many of the Jin cavalry, who were quite calm, notice something strange and began to re-examine the enemy and the strange battlefield under their feet.

Under the light of the torches, the Jin army found that after entering from the north gate of Beiliang City, it turned out to be an empty flat land, all the houses were demolished, and only the phalanx of the Han army was located in the center.

Strange scenes, strange battle situations, and...... Incomprehensible opponents!

Why did the Han army demolish the houses in the north of the city, it is simply foolish to do so, after all, if there is a street fight, there are houses to block at least the impact of the Jin cavalry.

And now, although the Han army formation has blocked the offensive of the Jin cavalry, as long as the Jin army cavalry rushes a few more rounds, why worry that the Han army formation will not break?

It's just that...... Will the cavalry of the Jin army be able to rush again?

The general of the Jin army glanced around, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of fear, and he found that although the open area in the north of the city was not small, it had shown a tendency to be crowded, and there were like mad dogs everywhere, roaring and screaming desperately rushing forward.

The temptation of Azige's three-day plunder was too great, and all the Jin soldiers were unwilling to be resigned to the fact that they were not willing to be left behind in order to plunder more wealth, so they just poured into the breached north gate, which seriously disrupted the structure of the Jin army, and the command and dispatch of the officers were almost paralyzed.

The cavalry attack of the Jin army in front was blocked, and the Jin army in the rear did not know the situation, and still pushed forward impatiently, congesting the front and rear, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In this way, how can the cavalry of the Jin Army still have room to regroup, let alone complete a new round of charge.

And just when the Jin army was in a dilemma, the Han army's counterattack was extremely fierce.

With the cooperation of the archers, the Han army's pikemen, sword and shield hands advanced layer by layer, and in the face of the Jin cavalry that lost mobility and only had leather armor protection, the Han army perfectly formed a crushing kill.

In the sound of loud and majestic horns, every time the Han army took a footstep, it could harvest the lives of dozens of Jin soldiers.

This kind of lethality is not great for the more than 10,000 Jin troops who rushed into the city, but the Jin army could not organize a strong resistance for a while, and most of the Jin army officers and soldiers had not yet discovered the sudden reversal of the situation on the battlefield, so that although the Jin army was large in number, it could no longer pose a substantial threat to the Han army, and it was also facing the danger of being constantly encroached.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Han army is still advancing, stepping on the same and unified footsteps, maintaining a monotonous and smooth formation, they are like a moving mountain, unstoppable! No one beats!

In the face of such an unbreakable military formation, the Jin army that rushed to the front finally came to its senses, and some Jin army generals shouted loudly: "Don't mess up, spread out from both sides, outflank the enemy!"

Cavalry outflanking, this is the most common tactic, but such tactics are generally used in the field, and it is probably the first time it has been used in the city.

Different battlefields, different choices, there are many astute people in the Jin army, and they have successfully found a breakthrough point in the predicament.

The Han army somehow made the north of the city so empty, so empty that there was still a gap of about twenty steps on the left and right sides of the phalanx, and in order to block the impact of the Jin cavalry, the front of the Han army's phalanx was arranged very thickly, but this also led to the two wings being too weak, and once attacked, it was very likely to be penetrated by the enemy, so as to divide and kill.

This is a fatal weakness, the Jin army did not find it before because of the light enemy, and now they will not miss it easily.

It didn't take long for hundreds of Jin cavalry to spread out from the left and right flanks, and many of them had already tightened their grip on the reins, ready to turn their horses' heads and enter the Han army's phalanx from the flanks.

In the face of the outflanking of the Jin army, the Han army turned a blind eye, and they still advanced in an orderly manner, as if the Jin army could not threaten the flank at all.

The frontal battle still showed a one-sided trend, limited by the small space, under the steady assault of the Han army's phalanx, the Jin cavalry could only barely support, and many cavalry jumped off their horses and chose to fight on foot, so as to at least reduce their own goals, so as not to be stabbed off the horse one by one by the Han army as a live target.

However, even if they chose to fight on foot, how could the cavalry of the Jin Army, which had no long weapons and no iron shield protection, be the opponent of the infantry array, and it was not easy to kill a Han soldier at the same time, they often had to pay the price of five or six people, or even more than ten people.

Such casualties are desperate, but the despair is only the Jin cavalry who came into contact with the Han army at the front, and the Jin cavalry and foot soldiers in the back don't know the battle situation at all, for the sake of treasure, for the sake of women, they are still squeezing forward, and step by step forcing the comrades in front of them into a desperate situation.

Greed, the greatest original sin!

Tonight, it overrode the military order, corrupted the command order of the Jin army, and brought victory to the Han army.

It's just that the chance of victory doesn't seem to last long, and under the expectant gaze of the Jin cavalry fighting hard in front, the Jin army outflanked on both flanks finally succeeded in deploying and rushed towards the left and right sides of the Han army's phalanx.

And the flanks of the Han army had no defense, and a single charge could crush this phalanx that was constantly devouring the lives of the Jin army.

The horses were galloping, the knives were dancing, and the greed of the Jin cavalry for looting had turned into a thirst for killing, and their eyes were red, like wolves pounced on a mass of sheep to be slaughtered.

The cavalry of the Jin army raised his saber high, and with the next breath he could cut off the enemy's head, and the war horse under his crotch could crush the enemy's chest.

In the convergence of countless eyes, only the sound of "boom" was heard, and the Jin army, which had been fighting hard for a long time in front, let out cheers, but the cheers were only for a short moment, and the Jin army's face became miserable.

The phalanx of the Han army was still intact, the two wings were not impacted, and that loud bang was not the sound of the collision between the cavalry of the Jin army and the phalanx of the Han army at all!

Horses neigh, flesh and blood fly!

The Jin cavalry on both flanks quickly disappeared from view, and instead of tearing apart the Han army formation with their charge, they sent themselves into the abyss.

The abyss is the point of no return, and now there are two huge pits!

The pit was covered with sharp bamboo sticks and wooden thorns, and the moment the Jin cavalry fell, their tragic fate was already sealed.

There was a wailing and screaming everywhere!

Hundreds of Jin cavalry ended the charge in the blink of an eye, paying with their lives, and the only result was to expose the traps laid by the enemy.

The Han army had traps, so they abandoned the defense on both flanks, they just had to break through!

Breakthrough, or breakthrough, without a little fancy breakthrough, has become a dead end for the Jin Army.

The Jin army, who was resisting head-on, began to be unable to bear it, and some people turned around and wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong, but as soon as they took a step, a cold light flashed quickly, and the splash of blood brought up a frightened human head.

The headless corpse fell to the ground softly, and next to it stood a man, dressed in armor, with scars on a black face, and an indescribably ugly and haggard face.

This person's name was Hei Tie, and he was a commander of a thousand men of the Jin army, and he was also the supreme commander of this cavalry thousand-man team at the forefront of the charge.

Black Iron looks extremely rough, but his mind is very meticulous, he is a rare wise and brave person among the generals of the Jin Army, at this time he is holding a bloody steel knife, and the tiger glared angrily: "Those who retreat, there is no mercy!" He raised his steel knife and roared, "Fight to the death!"

To the death, you need to fight to the death!

There was a resolute intent in the black iron roar, he knew very well that once the front retreated, then it would be mixed with the Jin army with the unknown situation behind, causing a large area of congestion and chaos, so that it would soon be trampled on by the Han army, and the Jin army that rushed into Beiliang City might have the possibility of annihilation.

The Jin army in front is the elite brought by Batu, who has been fighting beside the lord of the Great Jin Kingdom all the year round, Boljueluo, with very strong willpower, they have never been defeated, and the predicament they face at this time is not enough for them to bear defeat, after hearing the voice of Black Iron, countless people shouted in unison: "Fight to the death!"

The morale of the Jin army is not extinguished, they are wolves on the grassland, and they are never willing to become the prey of being driven.

Although the Han army's array is strong, there are only a few thousand people in the end, and as long as the Jin army dares to fight, even if it uses several times the number of human lives to exchange, it can consume the other party.

It is precisely when Black Iron sees this that he has the courage to fight to the death.

"Kill!"

"Kill all the Han dogs! Kill them all! ”

Countless golden soldiers roared, and they swung their sabers with the last of their strength, slashing at the enemy's shields, armor, and everything they could touch, regardless of life or death.

The fight shook the sky, and the hand-to-hand combat was fierce!

Every moment someone fell, the ground was full of puddles of blood, and the layers of corpses were countless, most of them were Jin soldiers, but the casualties of the Han army were also a lot, which made the Han army's originally steady advance a little slow, but the Han army was still advancing.

The Han army is weak, but the Han army will not retreat! If the Jin army wants to fight, the Han army will fight!

Wan Xiaodao stabbed the spear hard, the head of the gun tore the muscles, and another Jin sergeant was pierced through the chest by him, he stared at the enemy who was unwilling to fall to the ground, and a ruthless intent flashed in his eyes.

Ruthlessness is also mixed with hatred! Mixed with infinite pride!

A platoon of his comrades-in-arms are all dead, and only one of him is left, but his heart is not lonely, he is not alone, he has inherited the courage to sacrifice his comrades-in-arms, and inherited their courage to kill the enemy!

Hatred of the same enemy, bloody battlefield!

Wan Xiaodao fought selflessly, he only had enemies in his eyes, and he only had killing enemies in his mind, but he didn't know that his heroic figure had been jumping in someone's eyes.

A gust of wind blew, and the blood mist obscured Xuanyuan Chen's vision at the core of the Han army's array.

When the scenery of the battlefield gradually became clear, Xuanyuan Chen could no longer find the figure of Wan Xiaodao. But in front of the phalanx, countless soldiers like Wan Xiaodao are still fighting, defending the dignity and honor of soldiers with their lives.

The Han Border Army, this is the Han Border Army, a group of iron-blooded men, a group of heroes who stand up to the sky!

They are fierce tigers and lions, how can the steppe wolves bully each other?

Another burst of blood mist rolled in, Xuanyuan Chen's vision was blurred, and through his hazy eyes, he saw a row of Han troops drowned in the sword light of the Jin army.

The thickness of the phalanx had been scraped off by a third, and soon Xuanyuan Chen would face the impact of the Jin army, his face was a little pale, he knew that the results of this battle would be revealed soon.

Life, or death!

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes burned like flames, he couldn't die, he bore the sustenance of his family, and he bore the trust of the military and civilians of the whole city!

Shangguan Liuyun came to Xuanyuan Chen's side, and his tone trembled: "Lord Wang......" was just a brief call, but he knew that Xuanyuan Chen understood what he wanted to say.

And Xuanyuan Chen's answer was even shorter, with only one word: "Wait!"

After speaking, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes closed slightly, and he couldn't see any expression calmly, but two tears burst out from the corners of his dry eyes, which were crystal clear.
