Chapter 49: The Battle of Handan (6)

The night attack was launched at dawn, which was also the time when the Yan army was most sleepy. Except for a small number of defenders who occasionally looked up at the camp, most of the defenders yawned listlessly, thinking that in less than half an hour, they would be able to go to the Huotou Army to ask for a meal and make up for sleep.

Rong Worm woke up very early today, and throughout the night, Rong Worm always had all kinds of messy dreams. There are dreams of following Le Yi to conquer the Qi country, there are dreams of bloody battles with the Hu people in the north, and there is also a dream of a sigh of King Yan Zhao.

Maybe it's because there are too many dreams, Rong Yan always feels a little uneasy in his heart. The instincts cultivated over the years of military service told me that something terrible might happen. But the whole night was calm, which showed that Bai Qi did not see through his betrayal.

After calling the guards on duty outside, Rong Yan knew that it was only two moments now. The sky was already faintly bright, but thirty steps away, the figures were still buildings, and one hundred and ten steps away, only extremely vague and hazy figures could be seen. This is still looking east, if you look west, it is still pitch black a hundred and ten paces away.

Since he couldn't sleep, Rong Yi simply walked out of the Zhongjun tent and walked around. At this time, the early Huotou army had already begun to bury the pot to make food, and soon, countless cooking smoke rose from the entire Yan army camp, and it couldn't wait for half an hour, and the sky should be bright. The soldiers also got up at that time, and the camp soon became noisy.

Rong Yi counted the time, and after using the morning food, he spent an hour reorganizing his ranks, just in time to set off. Although the giant deer city in the distance was extremely tall and majestic, it looked like a hazy shadow in the morning light. It's just that, maybe it's the angle, Rong Yan always feels that Julu City seems to have become a fierce beast with a bloody mouth, quietly dormant. Waiting for Yan Jun's self-defeat.

Yiqiē is too quiet, and it always makes people feel that there is some conspiracy buried behind the quiet, just as there may be countless undercurrents and whirlpools under the calm water. Rong shook his head and laughed at his suspicion. Maybe it's because the opponent is the world-famous killing god Bai Qi, or maybe it's because he rarely betrays his allies and fights back. Rong Yan always felt a little uncomfortable.

The killing cry reached Rong Zhi's ears at this time, and at first it was faint and not very clear, but with the fire, Rong Yin finally determined that something was wrong! And nine times out of ten, it was the South Korean army that attacked! Zhao Guo already knew that Yan Guo had come to rescue Zhao Guo this time. In this case, the Zhao army would not launch an attack on the Yan army camp. Only South Korea has the strength and courage to attack the Yan army.

The reason why Rong Yan was sure that the appearance of the fire was not an accident. It's because in addition to the camps in the east, there are fires in the camps in the north, south, and west, and the water will never be so coincidental!

Rong Yan no longer had the heart to think about why Bai Qi would see through his plan, the top priority was to quickly gather troops to launch a counterattack, after all, the number of the Korean army was less than half of the Yan army, as long as the Yan army calmed down and assembled into a phalanx, there was no need to worry. So. Rong Worm hurriedly returned to the Chinese military tent to stabilize the morale of the army.

It didn't take long. The Yan army stationed in the outermost camp came to report that a large number of Korean troops had entered the Yan army camp, and the Yan army was caught off guard and had lost a large area with heavy casualties.

Rong Yi synthesized the reports from the next three directions and determined that the north was the main direction of attack of the ROK army. There are about 20,000 South Korean troops who are advancing all the way towards their own Chinese army. In this direction, the Yan army had lost more than 8,000 people in just half an hour. Secondly, in the west and south directions, there should be 10,000 Korean troops in each direction. The casualties of the Yan army were also more than 5,000.

Compared with the number of 130,000 Yan troops, the casualties so far are not painful for the Yan army. However, the biggest problem of the Yan army was that the army was in turmoil, the generals could not find soldiers, the soldiers could not find generals, and each battalion could only fight on its own, and they did not unite, so they could not resist a charge by the Korean army. Then came an even more terrible fact, under the chaos, everyone wanted to run for their lives, and Yan Jun had long forgotten to fight back, because it turned out that counterattacking would only die faster, and there was still a chance to escape as long as he ran faster than Paoze, he could get away with surviving.

Many Yan soldiers subconsciously threw away the weapons in their hands, just to lighten their burdens. trampling on each other, the army collapsed, and the Korean army behind them became a demon crawling in hell, and the firelight, screams, and blood turned the originally warm and comfortable camp into a purgatory on earth.

This panic was rapidly spreading, and the Yan army, which had not yet been affected, wanted to move forward to resist the Korean army, but was scattered by the defeated Paoze. For the defeated Yan army, compared to his own life, the love of the robe and the military discipline were really nothing. These are the facts that Yan Jun is facing.

"Pass on my order, all battalions of soldiers and horses are moving closer to the Chinese army, and those who mess up my formation will be killed! Those who make noise and make noise, there is no forgiveness! Those who do not listen to orders will be killed! Rong Xuan decisively ordered.

This order saved the Yan army, and the Korean army used the rout as a cover, and the speed of advance was already very fast, but the Yan army camp was very large after all, and the Yan army, which had not been dispersed by the rout, originally wanted to resist, but after receiving Rong Yan's military order, they all retreated, approached and assembled the Chinese army. By the time the Han army drove the Yan army to the middle of the Yan army, the Yan army had already integrated a dense phalanx.

"Shoot the arrows!" With the order of the captains of each battalion, the Yan army archers arranged at the front of the phalanx opened their bows and released the sharp arrows in their hands, but their target was not the Han army, but the Yan army that rushed to the front.

The tens of thousands of Yan troops had never thought that they would die at the hands of their own people. A moment ago, they saw that the Chinese army who were waiting for the battle still thought that they were about to be saved, full of hope and excitement, but the bloody reality told them that the transformation of the savior and the demon was in a single thought.

No one could disrupt the formation of the Chinese army, and the rout at this time did not know at all what the consequences would be if they were allowed to enter the formation. The Han army behind them could obviously drive them all away, but let them escape, what kind of evil intentions did they have.

It has to be said that on the battlefield, bloody stimulation can often be intimidating. When the Yan army found that there was only one way to die if they continued to rush forward, they naturally wanted to flee in another direction. It is naturally impossible to turn around, and there is no way to enter the ground or a door to the sky, so it can only be detoured from the two wings. At this time, the men and horses on the two wings of the Yan army's formation attracted the attention of the Yan army's rout. Under their guidance, the Yan army, which was lucky enough to survive, entered the back of the phalanx.

The Yan army's phalanx has clear barriers. The military is prestigious, and more importantly, the number of the Yan army far exceeds that of the Han army, if it is bright today, the Han army can clearly see that the entire Yan army phalanx is divided into eight small phalanxes, each of which has about 10,000 people. There is a clear distinction between the phalanxes. The total number of Korean troops who came all the way was only more than 35,000 people, less than half of the Yan army, and the only advantage was that the morale was high. The Yan army has been completely prepared, the outermost part is a wall composed of chariots and horses, and then archers, shield bearers, and pikemen stand in turn, as long as the Korean army dares to attack, it will be difficult to retreat!

Bai Qi surprisingly rejected the invitation of his generals to fight, no matter how good the reasons they put forward. In the face of the Yan army, which was waiting for the battle, Bai Qi made only one order. That is to retreat a mile and rest in place.

Within the sight of both sides, an extremely strange scene occurred. Less than 40,000 Han troops sat on the ground with a big grin, pointing at the Zhao army not far away, as if commenting on their position and appearance, while the Yan army, which numbered as many as 80,000, was like a great enemy, unable to advance or retreat in the circle surrounded by chariots and horses.

Rong Yan naturally knew Bai Qi's plans, and since Han Jun had already prepared. It must have taken the morning food to attack, and his side was still hungry. Before, all his thoughts were on resisting the South Korean army. I didn't feel hungry yet, but now that the Han army made it clear that it would not launch an offensive immediately, the Yan army relaxed and immediately realized that he was too hungry!

Rong Yan now regrets it, why didn't he put his weight on the Chinese army! With the loss of the southern camp. Most of the grain and grass of the Yan army fell into the hands of the Korean army, and although the Chinese army still had a small amount of dry food, it was far from enough for the army. The lifeblood of grain and grass was in the hands of the Han army, and the Yan army lost the initiative. Bai Qi has enough capital to wait for tomorrow. Han Teng's 100,000-strong army will arrive, and the strength of the Han army will surpass that of the Yan army. Without grain and grass, the morale of the Yan army will inevitably be in chaos. The longer the time drags on, the more favorable it is for South Korea. The Yan army really couldn't let the situation continue to be bad, so they attacked strongly, defeated Bai Qi's army and then went to the sand dunes, joined the 20,000 Zhao army, and then considered it in the long run, this was Rong Yan's only choice.

Distribute the few dry rations to the 80,000 Yan army, so that the three armies can be fed, and Rong Yan put on a posture of fighting to the death. This qiē was seen by Han Jun.

Bai Qi did not command the Han army to retreat and avoid its edge, but pointed to Mai Mang, set up a defensive posture, and waited for the Yan army to attack. The number of Yan troops is only more than 40,000 people, which is not a difficult number for the Han army to cross.

As for the east, although the Yan army did not launch an offensive, there were 50,000 Yan troops eyeing the Han army, and the vigilance of the Korean army was stronger.

A dense rain of arrows fell on the heads of the charging Yan army, and countless Yan troops fell one by one like cut wheat stubble, and in the crowd, life bloomed into a blood flower and then disappeared. There was no groaning, no shouting, the desperate Yan Jun only knew to move forward, and only by going forward could he have a chance to live. Even if the sword mountain and sea of fire in front, even the Longtan tiger's den in front, there is only forward.

Rushing through the death distance of one hundred and ten paces, the Yan army slammed into the Han army's horse rejection array. was pierced by a spear and swept down by Changge, and nothing could stop the Yan army's determination to win. The Yan army went crazy and rushed forward and pounced on the Han army's horse rejection formation. Rao is strong rejection of the horse formation, Rao is the strength of the Korean army's counterattack, and it can't stand the madness of the Yan army, only half an hour, the soldiers of the Korean army defending the rejection of the horse formation were all killed, and the Han army behind the rejection formation immediately made up, which can be used to maintain the rejection of the horse formation.

The number of Yan troops is too large, and the archers of the Korean army do not need to aim at all, they only need to shoot into the air at will, and most of them can shoot a Yan army. Human life is extremely cheap on this battlefield, maybe a moment ago was excited to kill an enemy soldier and lost the first second, to fight for life, life for life, when one side does not care about casualties at all, does not care about their own lives at all, combat power, morale, courage, fighting spirit have all become secondary things, victory or defeat has completely depended on will, who can bear casualties more, who can bear sacrifices more, who can achieve the greatest victory!

After the Yan army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, the Korean army's rejection array was already crumbling. Rong Yan did not hesitate and invested another 20,000 troops. This also became the last straw that crushed the Korean army, and half an hour later, the rejection array was torn apart like paper, and the Yan army finally got the opportunity to meet the Korean army in a short fight. Relying on the rejection of the horse formation. The Han army was still able to fight with the Yan army with a one-to-three, or even one-to-four casualties, and gained the upper hand, but lost the rejection array, and the casualties of the Korean army inevitably began to increase.

The strength advantage of the Yan army was finally brought into play, although the cooperation was lacking. Although the combat strength was not good, the Yan army fought with blood, and the Han army had a casualty ratio of three to two. exchanging the lives of three Yan soldiers for the lives of two Korean soldiers is already a good combat power.

The number of the Yan army is still more than 50,000, and the number of the Korean army is only more than 23,000, and when the number of the Korean army does not exceed 10,000, the casualty ratio will increase a lot. This is calculated by Rong Oyle. Rong Yan believes that as long as he continues to fight like this, he will definitely win in the end.

More than 50,000 Yan troops. Rong Yan invested 40,000 troops, leaving only more than 10,000 horses for preparation. Because Rong Wei felt that if Bai Qi hadn't deceived himself, there would still be close to 10,000 troops in Julu City. Bai Qi has not invested in this army, obviously wanting to do the last attack. The 10,000 army under Rong Yan was kept to deal with the Han army in Julu City.

In addition to observing the shape of the battlefield, Rong Worm did not let go of paying attention to the giant deer. The 10,000 Yan army iron cavalry has fought so far, and only more than 6,000 people remain, and 4,000 iron cavalry have been arranged by Rong Yi to storm the Korean army formation. The remaining 2,000 men were cruising around the battlefield to prevent the South Korean army from suddenly appearing. The Yan army was caught off guard.

Half an hour later, although the Han army was still resisting, Rong Yan already knew that he was already sure of this tragic war. The only difference is what you end up paying. 130,000 Yan troops (including 10,000 cavalry) against 40,000 Han troops, the Yan army only had 40,000 left, of which only 4,000 cavalry remained. There are still 15,000 people left in the Korean army, even if the Korean army is completely annihilated, the Yan army will be defeated undefeated! After fighting this war, the Yan army will definitely return to the dunes and reorganize. If you want to rescue Handan, it is beyond your power. Therefore, there was no joy of success on Rong Yan's face, but the loneliness of failure.

If it weren't for the humiliation of defeat that could only be washed away with blood, if it weren't for the great victory of the total annihilation of the South Korean army, if it weren't for the morale and morale of the army, Rong Yan would have wanted to withdraw his troops a long time ago. The huge casualties have made the Yan army crazy, and revenge for Pao Ze has become the driving force to motivate the Yan army to continue fighting, and Rong Yan also knows that if he wants to stop the rampaging Yan army, there is no other way than to let them tear apart the Korean army in front of them.

At the height of the battle, Rong Yan, who had not let down his vigilance, found that the gate of the giant deer was opened. A stream of iron rushed in his direction with an unstoppable momentum. Although he didn't know the specific number of the Han army, Rong Yan still invested the only 10,000 Yan troops on hand at the first time, plus 4,000 iron cavalry. Because Rong found that at least so far, the Korean army has a large number of cavalry.

Although he was surprised that Bai Qi hid the news so well, Rong Yan no longer cared about how many cavalry there were in Julu City and how many soldiers and horses came out to reinforce him. Fight, fight, only a life and death can end this humiliating war for oneself. In Rong Yan's opinion, if there were enough soldiers and horses in Julu City, Bai Qi would have already sent a signal for the army to go out of the city for reinforcements.

Of course, Rong Yan still secretly admired Bai Qi in his heart. Bai Qi should have never believed himself from beginning to end, otherwise, when introducing the troops, he would not have deceived himself and said that the cavalry under his command was only a few hundred. At least for now, there are thousands of Korean cavalry who are constantly going out of the city, and looking at this posture, there should be a lot of them behind!

Rong Yan put a lot of thought into the support army that suddenly appeared in Julu City, as long as this support army was defeated, not only would Julu City be at his fingertips, but the army of Bai Qi would also lose its fighting spirit and speed up the destruction.

One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, Rong Worm has been silently counting the number of Han troops out of the city, when he found that the Han army out of the city was only three thousand cavalry, Rong Worm laughed irrepressibly, but when the banner of the Yulin Army was displayed at the end, when Rong Worm found that there were still a thousand tiger Ben heavy infantry behind the three thousand Yulin Army, the smile on Rong Worm's face stagnated!

The invincible Feather Forest Army! Conquer the invincible Tiger Battalion! One is the invincible cavalry in the world, and the other is the unparalleled infantry! There have been countless people, countless generals, who think that the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Battalion are exaggerated, and there are countless people who use three times the number of soldiers and horses, five times the number of soldiers and horses to fight with the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Battalion, but without exception, it is the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Battalion that laugh at the end! Any enemy who offends the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Battalion will either surrender or be defeated, without exception!

Therefore, it was once said in despair that if you want to defeat a Feather Forest Army on a frontal battlefield, you need at least five times as many men, and this must also be cavalry! If it's infantry, at least eight times! If you want to defeat a Tiger Battalion, you need at least five times as many men, and you must be well-trained elite infantry! If it's cavalry, it's at least three times as much!

Bai Qi put in the hole cards at the bottom of the box, and Rong Yan found that he had no means to deal with it! (To be continued......)
