Boom! Li Shou clenched his fists and slammed them on the desk, his face was red and white, and it was hard to see the extreme. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Shou, who rarely gets mad, shouted angrily, glared at him with round eyes and scolded: "Shut up!" How bold are you?! Don't you know that General Kui'an is our ally? ”

Seeing that Li Shou was angry, the Chenghan general could only make promises and ask Kui An for his guilt.

Kui An's face is not good-looking, how can he ever be pointed at his nose and scolded? What's more, it's still a nameless school who scolds people, but Li Shou stands up to uphold justice, and the situation of the people is not good, so Kui An has to force his inner dissatisfaction.

Li Shou saw that Kui An did not leave with his sleeves brushed up, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then put on a smile and pleaded sincerely: "General Kui An is a famous general of the Yan clan, and he has fought with the Yan army many times, and he knows that the Yan army is fine, and in the face of this crisis, I don't know if the general has a good way to break the enemy?" ”

"The Yan army is good at attacking cities, and it is known that there is no city that cannot be attacked! Therefore, I thought that the current general must first do a good job in the defense of Nanzheng, otherwise once Nanzheng is lost, the entire Hanzhong will not be able to be saved. ”

"However, if you want to drive the Yan army out of Hanzhong, it's not enough to just hold Nanzheng, right?"

"Naturally, it is not enough, only by completely defeating the invading Yan army can it be expected to drive it out of Hanzhong. And to defeat the Yan army, the only way to go out of the city is to fight in the field. ”

"Out of the city to fight?" Li Shou looked at Kui An with some horror.

"That's right, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?! If you want to defeat the Yan army, how can you not take some risks? ”

"Yes...... But, I don't know how sure General Kui'an is? ”

"If it is in the Central Plains or Guanzhong, due to the flat terrain there, the Yan army's iron cavalry combat power will be maximized, and the last general will not be half sure. But the current situation is different, the terrain in Hanzhong is complicated, and the invading Yan army is mostly infantry, and there is almost no cavalry, which gives our army a chance to defeat the Yan army. ”

Li Shou's eyes lit up at this time, and he stared at Kui An with burning eyes and said excitedly: "I understand the general's meaning, General Kui An wants to use the advantage of the cavalry under his command to defeat the Yan army, which is currently composed of infantry, in order to solve the crisis in Hanzhong?" ”

"The general is wise, the last general does have this plan! No matter how strong the Yan army is, she is still an infantry, and the last general has more than 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and hundreds of heavy cavalry, as long as it is used properly, it will definitely be able to completely annihilate the invasion of the Yan army. ”

The reason why Kui An worked hard to help Li Shou give advice was mainly because he considered that the Qian tribe and Cheng Han were grasshoppers on the same rope, and assisted Cheng Han in defeating the invasion of the Yan army and letting Cheng Han divide one side, so that he and his own clan had a future.

Not to mention that Kui An and Li Shou discussed how to defeat the Yan army tomorrow in Nanzheng, but after capturing Chenggu, the Yan army was also thinking about how to capture Nanzheng.

The ordinary soldiers who had just finished their meals at night returned to the camp to rest, and only the main generals Xue Tao and Jia Jian gathered in the room to discuss the military situation.

According to the scout's report, the Nanzheng garrison has a total of 40,000 people, and there are still 10,000 cavalry, and the strength should not be underestimated. Before General Ji Tang broke through the Baoxiao Valley, it would be difficult to take Nanzheng with only 30,000 infantry in the hands of you and me. ”

"In addition, at present, our army is all infantry, and we must strictly guard against the surprise attack of the Kahu cavalry, and we must not be taken advantage of by the enemy generals."

"Hahaha, Shigu rest assured, Kui'an, I haven't put it in my eyes yet!"

The corners of Xue Tao's mouth showed a hint of disdain and said: "If Kui An stays in Nanzheng honestly, then it's fine, otherwise I will definitely let him taste the power of the Yan Army's spearmen!" ”

Xue Tao's words are not an exaggeration, the spearmen of the Yan Army were born from the Swiss spearmen of later generations, and they were almost the nemesis of the heavy cavalry at that time. The geography of Hanzhong is similar to that of Europe, and the large number of light cavalry cannot be deployed at all, so it can only rely on the scarce and powerful heavy cavalry with high impact power.

……

The plan was decided, and Kui An led nearly 20,000 infantry cavalry troops to leave Nanzheng and march towards Chenggu, which included 8,000 light cavalry, 300 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 infantry.

The terrain of Chenggu City is dangerous: the west is a flat land for roads and farmland, and a road connecting Nanzheng and Chenggu passes through the east and west gates of Chenggu from the flat land in the west, and then turns southeast to extend to Nanxiang; To the south is a dense forest; There is a hill in the northeast; To the east is a wooded forest, and beyond is farmland; There are sparsely forested hills to the north and northeast.

In order to deal with the approaching Qianhu cavalry, Xue Tao and Jia Jian set up a strong defensive line outside the city.

They were very bold in setting up on the western flats, with spearmen at the front. At the same time, all the longbowmen were deployed on the hill to the northeast in order to maximize the power of the longbowmen's long-range strikes.

Three days later, Kui An led the infantry and cavalry coalition army to approach Chenggu, and in the face of the opportunity to completely annihilate the current Yan army, he did not rashly order an attack, but waited for the most favorable opportunity.

After nightfall, the enemy troops began to move. In order to contain the Yan army's longbowmen, Kui An ordered his infantry to attack the hill in the northeast, the heavy cavalry was responsible for attacking the frontal spearmen, and the light cavalry was responsible for outflanking from the left and right flanks to cut off the Yan army's retreat.

It's a pity that Kui'an has never confronted spearmen head-on, and he doesn't know about spearmen. Spearmen, on the other hand, are different from other classes in that they hold long, inflexible spears that are useless and isolated once they leave the queue.

The spearmen of the Yan army are all elites with strict technical training, and their tactical literacy is extremely high, and every soldier in the phalanx is skilled and competent. The huge phalanx formed by such a group of people with strict military discipline should not be underestimated.

Moreover, after more than ten years of war experience, the Yan army has gradually improved the shortcomings of spearmen, especially by reducing the cumbersome method to achieve combat mobility. Dense spear units are often used to charge condescendingly, thus exerting a powerful impact.

As the infantry general of the Yan Army, Xue Tao also knew that in a flat area, if the spearmen could always maintain a dense battle formation without leaving the slightest interval, then they could still use the method of charging combat.

Of course, the successful use of this method of warfare requires an unprecedented level of organizational skill, rigorous training, and iron discipline. The strong-willed Yan soldiers met these conditions, and thus built a spearman who reached the pinnacle in terms of weapons, mobility, unity, and assault power.

Therefore, Xue Tao, who was in charge of commanding the spearmen, looked at the menacing Qihu heavy cavalry, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gave the order to attack without hesitation.

For a while, Dan saw that the spear phalanx was attacking the opposite cavalry team with overwhelming momentum, and its power and speed were far beyond Kui'an's imagination, he couldn't believe that in the face of the heavy cavalry impact, the spearmen who were infantry dared to take the initiative to attack.

The brave and agile spearmen of the battlefield advanced in neat formation, only slightly slower than the armoured and therefore overly cumbersome cavalry engaged them.

This was the result of rigorous training of the spearmen, who had to practice repeatedly in order to keep the dense ranks in line at high speeds, even on flat terrain. Even when the spearmen attacked, the Yan army formation could quickly change direction, pass or bypass obstacles, form a defensive formation, and retreat in an orderly manner with the wounded.

Of course, if you want to use the great power of spearmen, you can only make good use of the terrain that has the conditions.

It can only be said that Kui'an's life is not good, and he just encountered the terrain that is most conducive to the spearmen to exert their power.

When the cavalry charged, they were horrified to find that the flat ground in front of them was full of spearmen. Rows of towering spears were leveled, and the black-pressed phalanx rushed at an alarming speed.

This situation was completely unexpected, and both the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry could not spread out their formation, and they were almost powerless to fight back in front of the forest-like spears.

At the same time, the Cheng Han infantry suffered heavy losses under the attack of the longbowmen commanded by Jia Jian, and thousands of people were shot by the dense longbowmen in a single charge.

Soon the 20,000-strong army under Kui'an's command collapsed, and the spearmen chased the enemy's ass down the narrow, rugged path for miles.

This battle allowed the Yan army to easily defeat 20,000 enemy troops, completely crushing Li Shou's ambition to defeat the Yan army head-on, and making the defenders in Hanzhong fearful.

This battle was too great a blow to Kui'an, and his ambitions were all lost in the dense forest-like phalanx of spears.

After returning to Nanzheng, Kui'an and the remnants of the remnants of the Qianghu became demoralized and had no ambitions. (To be continued.) )
