Chapter 426: The Decisive Battle is Complete
At the opening of the Chu army camp, the Chu army flowed endlessly and rushed out.
180,000 soldiers and 20,000 "tiger army" poured out of Yuanmen, and then slowly spread out on the east side of the wilderness between the two army camps, and in less than half an hour, a huge front arrow formation was opened, the front army, the left army and the right army converged into a huge arrow in front, the middle army plus 20,000 tiger soldiers were arrow shafts, and the rear army was the tail of arrows.
In addition, there were more than 5,000 cavalry scattered on the left and right sides of the rear army, shaped like feathers at the tail of an arrow.
Bi Shu, Jin Xiang, Ziche Shi, and Xi Qilie stood on the nest car and looked condescendingly, the sharp arrow array formed by the 200,000 Chu troops was like a giant arrow shot by an ancient giant, shooting at the coalition army in front with an unstoppable momentum, and the arrow was forward, and the cold killing aura suddenly spread endlessly in the wilderness.
##########
The formation of the coalition forces on the opposite side was slightly messy.
Han Xin was wearing a purple robe, and was standing on the towering nest car, seeing the Chu army swinging out of the sharp arrow formation, the corners of Han Xin's mouth couldn't help but bloom a faint smile, the sharp arrow formation, is this to take the initiative to attack?
Behind Han Xin, there was an extremely disdainful whisper.
"It's a sharp arrow formation, does Bi Shu want to fight against his father?" Han Yu was disdainful.
"Bishu is really arrogant, I don't even know how to write dead words." Xue Ou scoffed.
Cheng Hei also echoed: "That is, three years ago, in the first Huainan War, Bi Shu also wanted to fight against the king, but he was killed by the king and was powerless, if it wasn't for the final Huainan King who broke through the camp, Bi Shu was defeated and died three years ago." This guy suffered a loss, and he still refuses to learn a lesson? ”
"Father!" Han Huo Ran turned his head to look at Han Xin. "Or the Crane Wing Array?" ”
Han Yu also participated in the first Huainan War three years ago. That war. Han Xin and Bi Shu competed in the way of formation. In the end, with the crane wing array, the Chu army was forced into a desperate situation.
"Nope." Han Xin waved his hand and said indifferently, "Column phalanx!" ”
"Huh, phalanx?"
"How is the phalanx?"
"This ...... How is it said? ”
The generals were all stunned when they heard this, compared to the Crane Wing Array. Although the phalanx is also both offensive and defensive, whether it is the way of changing the formation or the offensive and defensive momentum, the phalanx is far less sharp than the crane wing array, if you have to find an advantage. That is, the phalanx is more stable than the crane wing formation, even if it is attacked most fiercely. It's not easy to break up, either!
In a word, the phalanx is the most stable defense among the eight basic formations except for the circle formation, but the circle array is a pure defensive formation, and the phalanx can barely be regarded as both offensive and defensive.
However, no one dared to question Han Xin's decision.
At that moment, Han Huo Ran turned around and shouted to the herald: "The king has an order, and the ...... Phalanx! ”
The herald hurriedly raised two pennant flags in the nest car, one was the king's flag representing each army and battalion, and the other was the flag representing the phalanx.
The Chu army, which had already set up a sharp arrow formation on the opposite side, did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, this is not a demeanor, let alone paying attention to any war etiquette, but it is not so easy for the army to advance or retreat after the formation is placed.
Half an hour later, the coalition formation had evolved into a large, neat phalanx.
##########
Seeing the coalition forces set up a phalanx, several generals of the Chu army on the nest car were also stunned.
"It's a phalanx?" Ziche Shi was stunned and said, "This is not like Han Xin's style. ”
Jin Xiang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said, "I thought that Han Xin would sacrifice that crane wing array again." ”…,
Xi Qilie said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, in the last Huainan War, the crane wing array set up by the Qi army was really powerful, and in the end, if Yingbu hadn't broken through the Qi army's camp, I don't know what would have happened." ”
Bi Shu smiled silently, the Huainan War three years ago did not represent this war, the Chu army's sharp arrow array and the phalanx of the coalition army could not explain anything, these are just a formality, what really determines the outcome of the war is his Bi Shu and Han Xin's command skills and the combat power of the Chu army, the Qi army and the Huainan army.
The Chu army had an advantage in training and equipment, but the coalition army also had a slight advantage in strength.
Therefore, what really determines the victory or defeat this time is his Bishu and Han Xin's ability!
At the realm of him and Han Xin, the so-called formation is actually not that important, because all the parts and songs that make up the entire large array are under their direct control, even if it is a pure defensive circular formation, it can also be broken down into dozens or hundreds of purely offensive arrow formations, and the conversion of attack and defense is only in a single thought.
And this is the highest level of victory without a formation!
Han Xin's edict ordered the coalition army to set up a phalanx, not so much as a response to the Chu army's sharp arrow formation, but rather a demonstration to Bi Shu: You kid set up a sharp arrow formation, don't you just want to attack? Okay, the widow is as you wish, the widow will set up a phalanx and let you attack, and see if your Chu army can defeat the coalition army of the widow.
What is self-confidence? It's called self-confidence!
What does it mean to be arrogant? This is called arrogance!
Bi Shu just smiled indifferently, then raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, saying, "Attack." ”
Now that Han Xin has already stated that he will let go of the attack, what else is there to be polite? Just attack.
Tie Niu Huo Ran turned around, and the herald on the other side of the nest car shouted loudly: "Da Xu, attack ......"
The Chu army that was originally standing on the nest car suddenly spread out, first swinging twice in the wind, and then suddenly leaning forward, and the 200,000 Chu army that was waiting for the battle began to step on a neat pace, shouting a neat trumpet, like a torrent of steel, rolling forward, the Chu army ...... It's time to attack!
##########
When the Chu army moved, the reality in the formation was exposed.
Zhao Yan put his hand on the canopy and looked at it for a moment, then turned his head and said to Han Xin: "King, the Chu army all came out lightly, and they did not carry a baggage cart to fight, and even the crossbow was not seen. ”
Xue Ou also said: "The Chu army that went out to fight is about 200,000, and the strength of the remaining battalion will not exceed 50,000!" ”
The formation of the Chu army is very neat, even if it is advancing, the vertical oblique column is also very neat, so it is very easy to count, Xue Ou only counted for a moment to know the approximate number of troops of the Chu army.
Han Xin bowed his head slightly, but his gaze fell on the middle of the Chu Army's Sharp Arrow Great Array.
In the middle of the Blade Array, just around Bi Shu's towering command nest car, there was a particularly eye-catching Chu army array, the other Chu troops were all wearing black robes, but the Chu troops in this phalanx were all wearing bright red robes, and they were all wearing iron armor, holding sharp long knives, and on the big pole in front of them, there was a colorful tiger embroidered with teeth and claws.
Tiger Army, Han Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, is this the Tiger Army, one of the three forbidden armies under Xiang Zhuang's account?
Zhao Yan quietly walked to Han Xin's side and said in a low voice: "King, this should be the Tiger Ben Army of Chu State, and the general of Chu State wearing golden armor in front of him should be General Tiger Ben, one of the two fierce generals in front of Xiang Zhuang's account, Jin Xiang, it is said that this person's martial arts are even better than Xiang Zhuang, and they are almost comparable to Xiang Yu." ”
"Shoulder to shoulder with Xiang Yu?" The corners of Han Xin's mouth couldn't help but bloom with a trace of disdain.
Unstoppable, Han Xin also jumped out of his mind an extremely noisy war scene, that is, during the battle of Qixia, Xiang Yu personally led 20,000 former troops to launch a fierce attack on 300,000 Qi troops, Han Xin still can't forget the peerless appearance of Xiang Yu holding a halberd in the ten thousand armies, Xiang Yu ...... How could there be a second one in this world?! …,
However, the hero is like Xiang Yu, and in the end, he was defeated by him Han Xin?
Ahead, the 200,000 Chu army was shouting the trumpet of overwhelming the mountains and seas, rolling and crushing over this side: "Great Chu, the dead; The blood does not drain, and the death does not stop fighting......" wave after wave of trumpets, there is a strange aura surging between heaven and earth, that is a kind of momentum, a kind of invincible and invincible killing atmosphere!
In the midst of the suffocating wait, the distance between the Chu army and the coalition army is getting shorter and shorter.
Five miles, three miles, five hundred steps, three hundred steps...... Finally, the arrows of the Chu army's arrow array had advanced to the range of the coalition longbow's projectile, and in an instant, tens of thousands of coalition archers pulled out their longbows more than half a person high, and in the hum of the bowstring collapse, tens of thousands of reed pole feather arrows had been shot into the void in front with a squeaky scream.
In the next moment, the entire void in front of the Qi army's array was completely filled with endless arrows!
The soldiers of the coalition who were waiting for the battle looked up and saw that the entire void in front of them was completely shrouded in a faint cloud formed by the convergence of arrows, which was truly obscuring the sky and the sun.
A moment later, tens of thousands of feathered arrows rained down with endless screams.
"Vertical ...... Shield! In the Chu army's front arrow array, accompanied by the angry howl of the commanders of each army and battalion, a dark iron-clad shield was raised in the air, and the entire sky above the arrow converged into an endless shield wall, and in the next moment, the endless feather arrows had whistled down from the air, and the Chu army suddenly resounded with endless screams and wails.
Although the shield of the Chu army is strong, the shield wall formed by tens of thousands of shields is wide enough, but it is impossible to resist every feather arrow, in the screaming sound, from time to time there are feather arrows from the gap between the shields, and many heavy arrows shot by Lou Fu shooters directly penetrate the solid shield, and the Chu army hiding under the shield is ruthlessly shot.
The so-called Lou Annoying Shooter does not specifically refer to Lou Annoying, but generally refers to those sharpshooters with superior arm strength.
In the shouting and shouting, the allied archers filled their longbows again and again, threw wave after wave of arrow rain into the air, and then fell towards the head of the Chu army, with each wave of arrow rain falling, the Chu army will inevitably sound wailing and screaming, and there will inevitably be Chu soldiers who will fall to the ground with arrows, but the advance of the Chu army has not been delayed at all......
