The generals under the command of Hua'an will naturally not hear of the moon array, because in history, this array was invented by Liu Yu, the general of the late Jin Dynasty, and this Liu Yu was also the founding emperor of Liu Song of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Seeing that all the generals under his command looked curious and puzzled, Hua An smiled slightly, and said: "The so-called moon formation is an offensive and defensive formation composed of charioteers with their backs to the river, so that the charioteers are lined up in a half-moon shape, hugging the river at both ends, and taking the river bank as the moon string. After speaking, he looked confidently at the generals.

When the generals heard this, they naturally understood the structure of the Moon Array that Hua An said, but they were still skeptical about whether the Moon Formation could block the impact of the Yan Army's heavy cavalry.

"Your Majesty, but the moon array stands against the water, but it has the effect of putting it to death and being born, but this array has not experienced actual combat, and the time required for the formation is related to the size of the formation, now, the Yan army on the other side is full of 130,000 people, our army can form a formation of 1,000 people at most before the impact of the Yan army, such a thin force, can it really block the main force of the Yan army?" Wang San first said with some skepticism.

Deng Qiang thought carefully for a while, had a different opinion from Wang San, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the last general, the moon array is indeed infinitely powerful. You can totally give it a try. ”

"Your Majesty, in order to reduce the pressure on the Moon Formation, our army can launch an operation to cross the Zhangshui River at multiple locations at the same time, so that the chances of victory are much greater." Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

Hua An nodded, and said: "Our army has 40,000 chariot soldiers, a total of 10,000 chariots, and it is completely possible to launch a crossing at the same time in many places. At the same time, a crossing operation was launched. In this way, the six places are constantly expanding, and in the end, the main force of the Yan Kingdom will be unable to resist. ”

"The king is wise, the reserve army of our army. Enough materials have been raised to build more than a dozen pontoon bridges on the Zhangshui River. It only takes an hour. A pontoon bridge leading to the north bank of Zhangshui can be built. A general clenched his fists and said.

Hua An nodded and said: "Defeat the main army of the 130,000 Yan Army, just today, let the soldiers immediately start building the pontoon bridge." The whole army and horses immediately made preparations and were ready to attack at any time. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals clenched their fists and immediately turned around to prepare.

Subsequently, Hua An repeatedly imagined in the Chinese army's big tent, considered the possible countermeasures taken by the Yan generals Murong Ping and Pu Jian, and always believed that no matter how the Yan army responded, it would not be able to defeat the Yue Formation.

The lower reaches of Zhangshui are not very wide, and the Jin army is so familiar with erecting pontoon bridges, erecting pontoon bridges in the well-lit daylight, the efficiency is very high, and in less than an hour, the pontoon bridges are erected to the north bank of Zhangshui.

The Jin army built a pontoon bridge on a large scale in broad daylight, and such a conspicuous action was naturally quickly discovered by the Yan army scouts on the north bank, who immediately returned to the camp and reported to their respective superiors, and soon, the Yan army's commanders, Murong Ping and Pu Jian, learned the news of the Jin army's large-scale construction of pontoon bridges.

After Pu Jian learned of this news, he immediately went to Murong Ping's Chinese army tent and discussed with Murong Ping how to deal with the actions of the Jin army.

Seeing Pu Jian enter his Chinese army tent, Murong Ping said softly: "General Pu, you are here for the Jin army to build a pontoon bridge!" After speaking, he glanced at Pu Jian.

For Pu Jian, the old general of the Zhao State, Murong Ping looked down on him a little, and even had some hostility, after all, he had fought bloody battles with the Zhao army many times, and fought with Pu Jian's father Pu Hong, the two sides used to be enemies, and now, although Pu Jian has been attached to the Great Yan Kingdom, the suspicion between them is still difficult to heal in a short time.

Pu Jian hugged his fists and said: "General, the Jin army has built a large-scale pontoon bridge, this is to force the crossing of Zhangshui, and our army must immediately send troops to stop it to prevent the Zhangshui defense line from being broken by the Jin army." After speaking, he looked at Murong Ping.

Murong Ping originally planned to immediately send a large army to the north bank to stop the Jin army's forced crossing operation, but when Pu Jian said this, Murong Ping changed his mind.

"General Pu doesn't need to worry, the Jin army of 200,000 horses, relying on pontoon bridges to cross, without a day and a night of work, it is impossible to reach the north bank of Zhangshui, our army does not need to rush to attack, when the Jin army crosses tens of thousands of horses, our army suddenly kills, will be able to annihilate the tens of thousands of horses of the Jin army in one fell swoop, so that we will be able to achieve a big victory." Murong commented on Zhengse and said.

Pu Jian also felt that the main force of the Jin army's 200,000 troops would not all cross Zhangshui in a short period of time, so it was not impossible to wait for a period of time before launching an attack, so he nodded and agreed with Murong Ping's strategy of arsoning with the enemy.

On the north bank of Zhangshui, the charioteers and infantry under the command of Hua'an successively landed on the land on the north bank, and in accordance with Hua'an's prior requirements, they formed a moon formation along the bank of the river to meet the impact of the main cavalry of the Yan State.

In order to form the formation of the Moon Formation as much as possible, the first group of men and horses to enter the north shore was a hundred chariots, and immediately began to form the Moon Formation, followed by two thousand infantry, so that in a very short time, the smaller Moon Formation was formed.

The reaction of the Yan army was the same as Hua'an's previous expectations, they did not immediately come to stop it, but let the forwards under Hua'an arrive on the north bank of Zhangshui, until the formation of the Qiyue Array under Hua'an was completed, and the main forces of Yan State were late.

Seeing the dust raised in the distance on the north shore, Hua An knew that the main army of Yan State had finally been dispatched, at this moment, he pinned all his hopes on the Moon Formation, if the main army under his command could break the main force of the Yan Army with the Moon Formation, then this battle would inevitably be a big victory, and Yan Guo would be in an extremely disadvantageous situation, but in case the Moon Array could not defeat the impact of the main army of Yan State, the consequences would be very strict, however, Hua An had already fully imagined it, therefore, Hua An believed that the army under his command, The final victory will be won.

The lookout on the south bank of Zhangshui has been built, and Hua'an and his subordinates will stand on the high lookout platform and observe the wind and grass on the north shore, but due to limited eyesight, Hua'an can only see the two moons on the left and right sides of the opposite bank, and they can't see the landing people and horses in a farther position.

"Your Majesty, the main cavalry of the Yan Kingdom has been killed, and the success or failure of this battle depends on the soldiers in the Yueyue array on the other side." Wang San said softly.

"But the Moon Array is powerful, and our army is well-trained, I believe that we will definitely be able to defeat the impact of the Yan cavalry." Zhuge Xiong is full of confidence.

Hua An nodded, looked at the sand and dust in the distance, and said: "In this battle, our army must win, because our army cannot be defeated, otherwise, as soon as Murong Ke's 100,000 horses arrive, our army will be completely unable to gain a foothold." ”

"Rest assured, your majesty, our army will surely win." Deng Qiang said confidently.

Seeing that most of the generals were full of confidence in defeating the main cavalry of the Yan State, Hua An was relieved a lot, according to Hua An's familiarity with history, Liu Yu, the general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, defeated the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Wei army with less than 3,000 men and horses, and now, the six roads of men and horses under his command who have arrived on the north bank have more than 15,000 troops, blocking the impact of the 130,000 cavalry of the Yan army, when there is no big problem.

####

On the north bank of Zhangshui, every soldier of the Jin army in the Yueyue array was ready to fight to the death, and reinforcements from the rear were arriving in a steady stream, which made them full of confidence in their hearts, and believed that with the cover of the chariot, they could completely defeat the impact of the Yan army's iron cavalry.

The main cavalry of the Yan State of 130,000, divided into six routes, launched an attack on the Jin army's Qiyue array, of which Pu Jian was responsible for attacking the two roads on the left flank, while Murong Ping was responsible for the remaining four Jin army horses.

Facing the strange formation of the Jin army, Murong Ping, the commander of the Yan army, felt very strange, he had experienced hundreds of battles in his life, and he had never seen such a formation.

However, with his familiarity with the battlefield and weapons, Murong Ping could have a hunch that the formation of the Jin army was an excellent defensive formation, and it was a formation that was not easy to break, but fortunately, there were enough soldiers and horses under his command, so Murong Ping also believed that with ten times the enemy's strong strength, it was completely possible to break through the formation of the Jin army.

As the Yan cavalry gradually approached, the Jin crossbowmen in the Yue array immediately began to release arrows and inflicted great damage on the Yan cavalry.

However, the number of cavalry of the Yan army was extremely large, so although they suffered great losses, they still went crazy and killed the Jin army's Qiyue array.

Soon, due to the closer and closer distance, it was difficult for the Jin army's bows and crossbows to give full play to their advantages, so the soldiers immediately picked up spears and shields, relying on the arc formed by the chariot, and launched a blockade against the main cavalry of the Yan army.

On the battlefield of "killing ......", a huge shout of killing sounded for a while.

The heavy cavalry of the Yan army crashed into the chariot defense line of the Jin army at a galloping speed and squeaked the Jin chariots, but due to the protection done in advance, none of the Jin chariots were destroyed.

The charioteers of the Jin army standing on top of the chariot, and the infantry behind the chariot, all holding long weapons, assassinated the cavalry of the Yan army who rushed up.

The Jin army was well prepared and had chariots as cover, so although the main cavalry of the Yan State occupied an absolute superiority in strength, it was unable to break through the Jin army's Qiyue formation, and paid more and more losses.

However, the moon formation is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped attack surface is small, so the more the main cavalry of the Yan army rushes forward, the greater the losses suffered, and soon, with the continuous reinforcement of the Jin army's reinforcements, the main cavalry of the Yan army can no longer resist, and begins to break back.
