Four, five, three sections, fighting arrays
readx;
The Hebei army was imposing, and Luo Shixin was on the horse, moving his whole body with a single hair, and he could launch an earth-shattering attack at any time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Shubao saw it, but he was not afraid at all.
He has experienced a hundred battles, of course he has seen this kind of battle, the Glaive Formation is mainly attacking, winning with momentum, Luo Shixin put on this kind of formation, and the intention of attack is extremely obvious.
However, although the momentum of the Glaive Array is strong, if it is not overcome, the sharp edge will decrease rapidly, and it will be difficult to maintain a continuous and devastating attack. In the event of a counterattack against the surname, the Glaive Array is likely to suffer heavy losses.
This kind of formation, against ordinary formations, is not easy and extremely effective. But if you want to deal with Qin Shubao, the effect is much worse.
Qin Shubao came prepared, and under his order, the Western Liang army simply marched in a phalanx.
Sometimes, complicated is not necessarily effective, following Zhang Xutuo for many years, Qin Shubao has long understood this truth.
He ordered the shield soldiers to go first, the archers and crossbowmen to hold down the position, and the cavalry spread far away, ready to attack the belly and back of the Hebei army in a roundabout way. The Glaive array is sharp and unstoppable, but the abdomen and back are obviously the weak point of the Glaive.
Qin Shubao just aimed at the weakest point of the big array!
If the Hebei Army is a sharp long knife, the Western Liang Army is like a seamless iron plate. Facing sharpness with bluntness and lightness with heaviness is undoubtedly Qin Shubao's strategy to meet the enemy. A few impacts may be extremely tragic and sparks will shoot out, but if this long knife can't split the iron plate, it will be a very dangerous thing, not to mention that Qin Shubao is also ready to pick up a big sledgehammer and smash it. Then this long knife is not only a matter of gaps, but also may be broken in several pieces.
The cold wind was cold, Qin Shubao did not move, the Western Liang army did not move, and the Hebei army was also like condensing with the mountains. The two armies have been facing each other in the cold wind for some time.
Qin Shubao didn't move, because he wanted to grind off the opponent's sharpness, because he wanted to strike later. But the most important point is that his formation is extremely strong, but it lacks the flexibility of the Glaive Formation, he can't take the initiative to attack, although he is arranging a large attack formation, he adopts a defensive position.
There are gains and losses, the two armies are fighting, he knows how to hide his weaknesses, he is not in a hurry, he has been waiting around here for more than a month, of course he doesn't care about waiting for one more day or two, not to mention, behind him, there is the strong support of Xiao Buyi and Zhang Zhenzhou, and behind Luo Shixin, there is only one mountain.
The empty mountain is lonely, is there such a mood as Luo Shixin at the moment? Qin Shubao was on the horse, his mind was flying, and the past passed by one by one, from the acquaintance of the three tigers, to the submission of General Zhang, and then the three tigers side by side, centrifugation, betrayal to the two tigers fighting today! But Qin Shubao has been thinking about a few questions, whether Luo Shixin is in the same pain as himself, and why is Luo Shixin so persistent? Dou Jiande has been reluctant to retreat, he should not take the initiative to provoke, Luo Shixin raised troops through Yang Valley this time to attack the Western Liang Army, but he got Dou Jiande's permission?
Qin Shubao was silent, Luo Shixin was also silent, his eyes were like eagles, staring at the formation of the Xiliang Army, he hoped to find out the most vulnerable place of the opponent, and then crush the opponent mercilessly!
But he looked for a long time, and still sighed, Luo Shixin was not sure of victory! Qin Shubao not only knows him, but also knows his formation very well, Qin Shubao laid this formation, which is simply his nemesis.
To attack or to retreat, this is a difficult question!
**
Luo Shixin finally moved, but he rode out, and the Hebei army was still like the wind in the mountains, not moving at all. Luo Shixin went out of the big formation alone, and when he was two arrows away from the Western Liang army, he stopped moving.
"General Qin, I don't know if I can come out and talk about it."
When the two armies are fighting, since the commander-in-chief of the other side dares to go out alone, it is also a kind of courage and provocation. Qin Shubao did not hesitate, urged Huang Huqi to step forward, and reined in a deep voice from Luo Shixin, "General Luo, I don't know what to teach?" ”
The two of them looked cold, and they were commensurate with their official positions, which of course meant that they only talked about the general trend and did not talk about private affairs.
Luo Shixin pursed his lips and said after a while: "King Changle is benevolent and righteous, and he has won the hearts of the people, General Qin, if you take refuge, I will protect your official position above me." ”
Qin Shubao was slightly stunned, and laughed loudly in an instant, full of desolation, "Luo Shixin, this is the most interesting sentence I have heard since I met you." ”
Luo Shixin's face remained unchanged, "Qin Shubao, it's not an interesting thing for me to fight with you, I actually don't want to fight with you, do you know why?" ”
Qin Shubao said: "What is the reason? ”
"General Zhang, the first general of the Great Sui, admired by the world, was plotted to death. I don't want to fight the traitor who stabbed General Zhang, but I can't help but fight. Luo Shixin said coldly. He couldn't find the weakness of the Western Liang Army, but he hit Qin Shubao where he was most vulnerable.
The mountain wind was howling, and the two armies were solemn.
Qin Shubao's eyebrows were twisted, and his face showed pain, "Yes, I'm a traitor, but I'm changing, it's better than going wrong all the way." General Zhang is admired by the world, he does not seek fame and fortune, and the only thing he wants is to have peace in the world! Qin Shubao just wants to change and fulfill his last wish, Luo Shixin, the king of Western Liang dominates the world, the trend of the times, Dou Jiande was born as a bandit, and he will be defeated sooner or later. If you really remember General Zhang, you should run over like me. I think if General Zhang had a spirit in heaven, he would be gratified in the end. ”
Luo Shixin let out a long laugh and said, "Qin Shubao, do you think that saying a few words of hypocrisy and hypocrisy can make the world understand?" Do you think that by pretending to repent, you can erase your heinous sin? ”
"I am not prepared to be forgiven by the world, nor am I prepared to erase my conscience." Qin Shubao said indifferently: "What I did was just to reduce my sins. The world is peaceful, and it is when Qin Shubao cut himself to thank General Zhang. ”
Luo Shixin was stunned, speechless for a long time, and he had a sense of respect in his heart. He understood Qin Shubao's suffering, and he regretted what he had just said. He just wanted to defeat Qin Shubao, but he didn't expect that he would shake up first.
In the face of Shuofeng, Luo Shixin had calmed down, "No matter what, today's battle is inevitable, Qin Shubao, are you sure of defeating me?" ”
Qin Shubao smiled: "I don't have it, do you have?" ”
Luo Shixin didn't say much, the iron spear was slowly raised, just a wave, the glaive array finally attacked, but Qin Shubao slowly retreated into the formation, without half a minute of panic.
Although the Glaive Array was sharp, it would obviously take a while to kill in front of him. This period of time is murderous and exciting, but in Qin Shubao's mind, the distribution and deployment are still easy.
**
The ground suddenly rose with gusts of wind, the snow was agitated, and the beginning of the glaive array was unusually slow. From a distance, I could only see the formation moving like a mountain, but their movement gradually accelerated, and in an instant, they were no more than a thousand steps away from the Western Liang army.
Luo Shixin was less impulsive, and Qin Shubao was more calm.
At the moment, the two of them are fighting wits and strength, fighting bravely, and pulling their whole bodies, although they are the closest, no one is ready to make a move. Of course, the two armies face each other, and the ideal situation is to kill the main general, and the enemy army will collapse without attacking. The art of war is cloudy, shooting people and horses, capturing thieves and capturing kings, but both of them know that it is impossible to kill their opponents in one fell swoop. In this case, it is better to win with all your strength. At the moment, the main general will not move, and the key to victory lies in the change of formation.
The war drums rumbled, the horns were deserted, and the glaive array changed from slow to urgent, and in the midst of the pushing, the pace was neat and the mountains on the ground trembled. The glaive formation is clear, fast but not chaotic, and in the process of accelerating, it has used overwhelming momentum to force the opponent.
Qin Shubao sighed secretly, Luo Shixin was really extraordinary, these people came to train the Hebei Army, which was originally a bandit and vulnerable, into such a disciplined iron army.
With the sound of war drums, the arc of the Hebei Army Yanyue did not change in the slightest, and it was pushed over flatly, but the speed accelerated, and it has changed from a small step to a big stride, and a big stride to a fast step!
Luo Shixin still stood still, but in the cold wind and snow, the soldiers behind him were like stormy waves, and in an instant, they rushed to a distance of eight hundred paces!
The Glaive Array was still speeding up, and this distance was the sharpest distance that raised the formation impact ability.
Luo Shixin raised his gun again, only to hear a 'pop', and the Glaive Array had already shown a sharp edge. The Hebei army showed a hidden edge, the sword was raised, the crossbow was covered with cold light, and a sharp front line popped out of the glaive array, and it was drawn towards the Western Liang army, and the distance between the two armies was only five hundred steps.
The wind and clouds have changed abruptly, and the murderous spirit is ......
The Hebei army rushed over with a fighting spirit, rolled up in snow, and was full of murderous spirit.
Luo Shixin still didn't move, he knew that of course Qin Shubao would not sit still, at this time he completely abandoned all grievances, he only wanted to win, this is what a general must do with all his strength at this moment.
The horn sounded suddenly in the Western Liang army, and the phalanx had changed from extremely quiet to extremely moving, and the distance of five hundred steps was not close, but it was definitely not far, and these distances were enough for Qin Shubao to arrange three lines of defense.
Three lines of defense made up of different troops.
The phalanx changed sharply, protruding from an acute angle, and the shield soldiers rushed out first, in clear order, and Luo Shixin's face changed slightly. From his point of view, the Western Liang Army changed from a phalanx to a triangular formation, and the shield soldiers protruded to form two oblique defensive lines, protruding from an angle, but it could minimize the frontal attack of the Glaive Formation.
Behind the shield soldiers, it is the second line of defense composed of pikemen and axe men, which can effectively resist the residual force of the Glaive Array. The crossbowman hooks his bow and arrows early, and the crossbow is wound early, and he tries his best to kill and injure the rushing living force.
Luo Shixin saw that the Western Liang Army's kung fu laid out three defenses in an instant, and he already knew that his first impact could not inflict a real blow on the opponent.
There was a snort, and the sharp arrows in the air almost obscured the clouds at that moment, and when they were in the land of one arrow, the crossbowmen of the two armies took the lead in opening the way, striving to disrupt the opponent's formation with long-range attacks. The long arrow fell, the two armies collided, and the snow was instantly stained red with blood. The Hebei army was extremely sharp, and it could hit the iron plate of the Western Liang army, just drawing a spark.
The enemy was slightly blocked, Qin Shubao had already issued an order, and the cavalry scattered in the distance penetrated the abdomen and back of the Hebei army from the left and right sides.
When the cavalry received the order, it turned into two whirlwinds and rushed to the weakest point of the opponent's flank.
**
The Hebei army was slightly moved, thinking that this was the world-famous ironclad cavalry. Qin Shubao knew that it was not, but he was confident that he would use these cavalry to disrupt the belly and back of the Hebei army.
As long as Luo Shixin's formation is out of order, that is his chance to fight back.
Qin Shubao's command is determined, of course, he is waiting for this opportunity.
Although the cavalry in Qin Shubao's hand is not an ironclad cavalry, it is not inferior to the iron cavalry of the Hebei Army.
Xiao Buyi has more than 8,000 ironclad cavalry, but his cavalry is at least tens of thousands, and his current war horses are only more.
Over the years, Xiao Buyi has been selecting the fastest and best horses from the horse farm to supplement the ironclad cavalry, and has always maintained an attitude of preferring shortage to excess, forming a black-armored ironclad cavalry that is unparalleled in the world. Among the black-armored iron horses, there are excellent war horses, the most rigorous training, the most sophisticated armor equipment, and the most adequate supplies.
But although 8,000 iron horses are a lot, they are still too few for Xiao Buyinuo's large area. In fact, now the black armor iron cavalry in the eastern capital has been withdrawn by several roads, and most of the black armor iron cavalry has been used in Taiyuan and Lingnan, and this must not be saved. Cheng Yanjin wanted to lead his troops to raid the land of Langxie, and took away half of the elite cavalry under Xiao Buyi. At present, although Xiao Buyi is the king of Xiliang, there are no more than 1,000 black-armored iron cavalry that can cooperate with Zhang Zhenzhou, but there are as many as seven or eight thousand cavalry in Zhang Zhenzhou's camp, Xiao Buyi hides the black-armored iron cavalry in it, just waiting to give Xu Yuanlang the most fatal blow.
Fortunately, even if the current Western Liang Army does not rely on the black armor iron cavalry, it can still make the opponent frightened.
The black-armored iron cavalry was already very tight, even if Xiao Buyi only had more than a thousand of the most elite iron weapons available, of course Qin Shubao had no chance to command. But the iron cavalry led by Qin Shubao is definitely the cavalry second only to the black-armored iron cavalry in the Western Liang Army!
This is already the best cavalry in the second echelon of Xiao Buyi's cavalry camp.
The sound of the horse rumbled, earth-shattering, coupled with a black armor, killing like a storm, even if Luo Shixin saw it, his face changed a little.
He had long been on guard against the opponent's iron cavalry, and the cavalry hidden on both flanks had not been dispatched. Seeing Qin Shubao starting, he did not hesitate to let the two teams of iron horsemen go to greet him.
Although he had heard of the prestige of the ironclad cavalry, he knew that it was only a man, not a god, and he did not think that the ironclad cavalry he trained could not withstand the onslaught of his opponents.
The cavalry engaged in a short battle, people roared and neighed, and the two wings of the Hebei Army were in chaos.
Although Luo Shixin was confident in resisting Xiao Buyi's black-armored iron cavalry, his subordinates were not necessarily so confident. Under the prestige of the black-armored iron cavalry, it has already given the Hebei army a shadow.
The two armies fought bravely and won, the Hebei Iron Knight was not as good as the momentum, and the momentum was slightly weaker, Qin Shubao saw this, his heart was slightly happy, and he ordered the army to beat the drum. The drums sounded loudly, and the iron cavalry on both wings exerted their strength again, and the Hebei iron cavalry that had been hit retreated again and again.
Luo Shixin's eyebrows were tightly locked, but he was still in command.
He understands that he can't panic or chaos at this moment, because the result of panic is defeat. When Qin Shubao came, he obviously had a way to deal with his momentum. After several conflicts, Qin Shubao has already worn down the spirit of the Hebei army.
When the Hebei Army was exhausted, it was the time for the Western Liang Army to counterattack.
Luo Shixin ordered, the shield soldiers and pikemen had divided into two ways, and rushed to the two wings in an instant, Qin Shubao sighed secretly, seeing that the opponent's formation was not chaotic, but he had already issued the command to let the cavalry on both wings leave temporarily.
The Xiliang cavalry came suddenly and withdrew instantly, and the discipline was strict, which made Luo Shixin secretly frightened. In an instant, it had withdrawn outside the attack range of the Hebei army, waiting for an opportunity to move, waiting for the next confrontation.
At this time, the Glaive Array had been slashed several times in a row, but it still couldn't help the Western Liang Army, and suddenly at the blade, a lot of troops were transferred, and it seemed to be exhausted.
The Western Liang army rushed head-on, and the Hebei army was defeated and retreated, forming a reverse arc, but the Western Liang army did not pursue quickly, but only restored the shape of the phalanx and slowly pressed up.
The two armies were fighting chaotically, but the formation was unpredictable, and there was no confusion at all.
Qin Shubao frowned secretly, and Luo Shixin couldn't help but complain.
The two have been fighting side by side for many years, and of course they understand each other's hearts. Although the Hebei cavalry is slightly inferior to the Xiliang iron cavalry, it can still have the power to fight back, plus the supply of shield soldiers and pikemen, as long as it can drag the Xiliang cavalry, it can counterattack again and defeat the Xiliang cavalry. Although Qin Shubao had the advantage, he already knew where the trap was, and did not seek to repel the incoming enemy in one fell swoop, so he ordered the cavalry to leave temporarily.
Luo Shixin couldn't make a plan, so he made another plan, so that there was a slight gap in the Glaive Array, and the Western Liang army was led to attack.
As long as the Western Liang army entered, he would let the soldiers on both wings outflank the rear road, and the crossbowmen would shoot the incoming enemy. But Qin Shubao has been in battle for a long time, and his eyes are quite vicious, although the Hebei army is not chaotic when he retreats from the formation, it is obviously a hidden ambush, how can he be tricked? It was Qin Shubao who only let the Western Liang army slowly attack and attack the enemy.
The two of them fought and striking, regardless of whether they were up or down. Luo Shixin saw that the Western Liang army was not fooled, and ordered to go down, and the Hebei army accelerated its retreat. In a few moments, the two armies were already a few arrows away.
Luo Shixin frowned secretly, knowing that Fang Fang's sharp spirit had been lost, even if he attacked again, it would just be a repeat of the mistakes of the past, and he made a decision to let the army retreat.
Qin Shubao saw it, but he didn't pursue it, and after sighing lightly, he was silent for a long time.
The two armies moved farther and farther away, and if it weren't for the blood flowing on the ground and the corpses everywhere, everything seemed to have never happened.
**
Xiao Buyi was in Juye, and received the battle situation of Liangshan for the first time, Zhang Zhenzhou knew that Qin Shubao repelled Luo Shixin's attack, and said with a long sigh of relief: "King of Western Liang, Qin Shubao really lives up to his reputation and lives up to the high expectations of King Xiliang." ”
Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "This Luo Shixin...... It's really quirky. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou asked in surprise, "He...... What's weird? ”
Xiao Buyi remembered the past, he and Luo Shixin met in the underground labyrinth, and then they rarely intersected. However, in his feelings, this Luo Shixin is really aimed at him everywhere, is it possible that Luo Shixin and him are enemies in his previous life? But when Queshan was assassinated, Luo Shixin took action to stop the fake Fu Pingju and help him, but he disappeared in an instant, Xiao Buyi still wanted to pull him under his command, where did he think that he would raise troops again.
Shaking his head, Xiao Buyi said: "He was originally under General Zhang Xutuo, and he voted for Li Mi first and then Dou Jiande for no reason, which is really incomprehensible. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou muttered: "Sometimes, some people have no way back. ”
Xiao Buyi snorted coldly, "This kind of stubborn person really has no way back, even if it falls into my hands, he will not be spared." Does he know that in the first battle of Liangshan, how many of the Western Liang army lost their lives for him? ”
Zhang Zhenzhou persuaded: "The king of Xiliang should not be angry, thinking that the Hebei army also suffered a lot of casualties. This battle can be said to be a win-or-loser. ”
"The Hebei Army is also a human being, and the Western Liang Army is also a human being." Xiao Buyi said coldly: "Luo Shixin is reckless, keeping him is just a scourge, he doesn't want to fall into my hands." ”
Zhang Zhenzhou rarely saw Xiao Buyi's look, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
Xiao Buyi suddenly raised his eyebrows, "What's going on on Xu Yuanlang's side?" ”
"No, there is no movement in the direction of Rencheng, it seems that they are not conspiring with the Hebei army." Zhang Zhenzhou shook his head.
Xiao Buyi groaned, "This is a little strange. It stands to reason that with Dou Jiande's character, since he dares to attack us, of course he will be somewhat sure. Now that our army is fighting against Xu Yuanlang, there is no reason for them to attack without contacting Xu Yuanlang. How could a person like Dou Jiande make such an inexplicable move? ”
"What does King Xiliang mean?" Zhang Zhenzhou also thought it was really weird.
"I'm just scared...... The attack was a solitary move by Roshixin. Xiao Buyi frowned.
"King Xiliang, are you saying that Dou Jiande doesn't know about this?" Zhang Zhenzhou said in surprise. If it is really as Xiao Buyi said, then Luo Shixin's move is really no different from betrayal. Luo Shixin first rebelled against Zhang Xutuo, then against Li Mi, and now against Dou Jiande, this person's actions are simply unreasonable.
"It doesn't matter whether Dou Jiande knows it or not." Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "Since Luo Shixin dares to go to war, how can we be indifferent. Lord Zhang, send the news back to the Eastern Capital, and hype Dou Jiande's ambition to attack the Eastern Capital, and after Xu Yuanlang is destroyed, it is logical for us to send troops to Hebei, and when the time comes...... Those old stubbornness will not stop us from sending troops, and we can use the name of justice. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou said with a smile: "The king of Xiliang really won't miss any opportunity, I'm just afraid that even if the king of Xiliang doesn't send troops at that time, the hundred officials of the eastern capital will ask you to send troops." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled slightly, but he was thinking in his heart, Dou Jiande showed benevolence, but he was decisive, knowing that he was going to attack Yu Wenhua, and he preemptively killed Yu Wenhua, this time he wanted to attack Luo Shixin under an excuse, I don't know if Dou Jiande would kill Luo Shixin?
**
When Xu Yuanlang heard that Dou Jiande sent troops to Yanggu, he was still in disbelief for a while.
When Xiao Buyi came to attack, he actually thought of contacting Dou Jiande at the first time, but Dou Jiande also rejected Xu Yuanlang at the first time.
Although Xu Yuanlang was dissatisfied, he also understood Dou Jiande's approach. If Xiao Buyi went to fight Hebei, he would definitely not take the initiative to attack Xiao Buyi.
Now Xiao Buyi's power is stronger, even better than Li Mi back then. Hit whoever you want, everyone expects him to fight a little later, and he will not take the initiative to attack easily. Xu Yuanlang is also anxious now, and he doesn't know what to do.
Everyone discussed, and there was no agreement, some advocated immediately sending troops to attack Xiao Buyi with Dou Jiande, and some advocated waiting for the two tigers to fight, Xu Yuanlang was confused for a while, and at this time, a bandit hurriedly came to report, "Luo Shixin, please see." ”
After saying five words, there was silence in the hall.
Xu Yuanlang's mind was blank for a while, and he didn't know how long it took, so he ordered, "Please come in." ”
Liu Shiche immediately said: "Manager Xu, Luo Shixin is brave and invincible, and his martial arts are clever, so we have to guard against it." "Luo Shixin, as a general under Dou Jiande, no one understands what he is doing here, but at this juncture, he is worried in his heart.
When Luo Shixin slowly walked into the main hall, his face was calm, and after seeing Xu Yuanlang, he gave a deep salute and said: "Manager Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
