Chapter 264 Xuanxiang
A distance of two hundred and fifty paces can make a strong bow unpowered, but for a well-trained light cavalry, it takes a few blinks to cross such a distance.
The smoke and dust raised by the light horsemen rose in stripes, and after leaving the main formation, they quickly divided into several strands, or rushed straight, or moved sideways, or diagonally forward, like a great river dividing, and then naturally divided the troops.
Every hundred people are a team, and each team walks a different trajectory, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, which is more complicated than the river of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, however, the three thousand light horsemen are not chaotic at all, just like that, they are thirty, stepping forward, and there is no interference with each other at all.
"This, this is amazing! Originally, I thought that Wang Pengju's cavalry was already the best in the world, and he could change formations in the process of charging into battle, and he was not chaotic at all, but now, after seeing this white horse righteous congregation...... Tsk, this kind of cavalry, I really don't know how Gongsun Chan trained it. Wen Chou muttered, his face full of shock.
It's better to be famous than to meet, and the elite of the white horse is extremely shocking. In the past few days, the Jizhou cavalry that was defeated by Wang Yu that day has returned a lot one after another. The morale of these defeated soldiers was too low to be useful in battle, but the information they brought back was still very useful.
Wen Chou originally thought that Taishan Jingqi was already very remarkable, and no matter how strong the white horse was, it was at most similar to Taishan soldiers. As a result, today, the strong have their own strong hands, and he was once regarded by him as the world's sharpest Taishan light horse, which is more than half worse than the white horse Yicong.
"Why do the sons increase the morale of others and destroy their own prestige?" A rough voice sounded in Wen Chou's ears, and he didn't have to look back, he also knew that it was his old partner Yan Liang who spoke.
"Gongsun Zhan, these soldiers. The predecessor was the Youzhou Border Army, which had been trained on horses for more than ten years. What's so strange about being stronger? "Yan Liang's big voice is very special. The sound of the urn was as angry as if he was beating a drum: "It's useless to toss anymore, his trick is expected by the military division, sooner or later it will turn into powder, and when the time comes, see what arrogance Gongsun Chan still has." ”
"I'm either destroying my own prestige, or I'm amazed." Wen Chou scratched his head and said, "Our cavalry, I don't know when we will be able to train to this level." ”
The army in Jizhou was also temporarily assembled. There were not many cavalry, not counting the 2,000 cavalry that were defeated by Wang Yu, there were 5,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry in total.
The heavy cavalry was carefully crafted by Han Fu as the trump card at the bottom of the box, and its master would be the famous general Zhang Jaw of Hejian. After Yuan Shao picked up this bargain, he renamed this unit and called it: Euphorbia. The other 5,000 light horsemen were led by Yan Liang. Wen Chou is the deputy general and leads together.
In terms of scale, the Jizhou cavalry is not much worse than the Youzhou army. When he was frustrated and dispatched troops, General Yan and Wen were not convinced more than once. clamoring for a head-to-head showdown.
As a result, the gap is not ordinarily large. If you really want to fight with cavalry, the open-jawed halberd warrior may still be able to rely on thick skin. After a while, the light cavalry collided. You can't beat one of the two!
Wen Chou is not so much admiring as envious. As a general, who doesn't want to lead an elite like an arm?
"Cut, that's not easy? When Gongsun Chan is destroyed, there will be as many cavalry as possible. Yan Liang looked disdainful, and as he spoke, he grinded his teeth again, "A certain Guan Gongsun Zan is like a dry bone in a grave, the weight of this battle lies in whether he can be ashamed of the Lord Gong and break the body of the king thief into ten thousand pieces!" ”
"There are eggs under the nest, and the Youzhou army is destroyed, where will Wang Pengju run?" Wen Chou shook his head and dropped his schoolbag, then looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zishan, is the military advisor really so sure of this strategy?" ”
"Of course!" Yan Liang had a reasonable expression, "What kind of person is the military advisor?" During the military discussion, what kind of expressions did you not see Guo Tu and those who were judged? If there is a flaw, will you be silent when they are? Unless the commander on the other side is replaced by Wang Xiaothief," "In that case, there may be some surprises, now...... Hehe, the winning is in hand! ”
He raised his right hand in front of his eyes, his five fingers contracted, and he clenched it tightly into a fist, and his powerful confidence infected his companion, and the hesitation on Wen Chou's face was swept away.
After thinking about it, Yan Liang whispered again: "Everyone, you go and check it again, according to the ...... What the Koji Yi said, don't make a mistake. ”
Speaking of Lu Yi's name, his tone and expression were a little unnatural, and Wen Chou also looked stupid, drooping his head and responding: "Well, I know." In response, he felt a little unwilling, and snorted again: "Thinking of that arrogant face, it doesn't feel good to win a battle, it's better to ......."
"Okay, less nonsense, don't do things yet?" In this era of war, how much does it take to talk about lip service, how can Yan Liang let him say that 'defeat'? immediately kicked over and kicked Wen Chou. The latter stumbled away, and a cold light flashed in Yan Liang's eyes.
"Crazy? Let's let him go first, and see how long he can go crazy? When the time comes, someone will clean him up! Wen Chou can't see it, but Yan Liang can see it clearly.
There are too many people who have offended Lu Yi, and sooner or later it will be worse, in fact, he has already been calculated. Take today's battle, for example, he is responsible for the most difficult and dangerous mission. defeated, it is difficult for him to escape for his life; If he wins, the benefits will not be his turn.
The most fruitful results are, of course, those of the lord Yuan Shao; The second is the frustration of strategizing; The first merit of the military general is either Zhang Junyi, or himself or his subordinates, and it is the turn of Lu Yi, at most there is soup left.
This is the end of not knowing how to be a man!
No matter how capable he is, he can't stand the dislike of the lord, his colleagues are jealous of each other, and everyone is golden, and he accumulates and destroys his bones.
……
In a few words, Bai Ma Yicong had already broken into the effective range of the infantry bow. With the poignant sound of the horn, "The First Strong Soldier of the Three Kingdoms Second 6sì Chapter Formation Said Xuanxiang", the sky darkened again, and thousands of feathered arrows rose into the air, and then fell with a hiss.
The distance was close, but the result was less than firing the bow beyond the maximum range.
The light rider is like a school of swimming fish, it seems that you can catch a large group of fish at a glance, but if you do this, you will find that all you can catch is a handful of clear water.
Bai Ma Yi ran in front of the formation like a gust of wind, leaving all the feather arrows far behind, no matter how fast the feather arrows were. How can you catch up?
It's not just any wind, it's not just smoke and dust that sweeps in the wind. And deadly killings.
Running and shooting was originally the housekeeping skill of the white horse.
If Yuan Jun's salvo is like a huge dark cloud. The white horse's righteous rush was like wisps of smoke. The light that any one smoke can hide is limited, but it is better to repeat the cycle and never stop.
Like a swarm of angry bees, the righteous servants continued to shoot arrows into the Yuan army's array, like rain, hitting Yuan Jun's shield array, clanging.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of fire would definitely be a loss for the infantry. The target in high-speed movement is too difficult to hit, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if it is a divine archer like Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, they have to aim well.
If the light cavalry is concentrated, it can also be used to shoot back in the way of covering and shooting, but the light cavalry of the white horse is a team of 100 people, and it is pulled into a sparse long column, even if it covers an area of ten zhang square, at most it can only be circled into three or five horses.
On the infantry side, on the other hand. The enemy's rain of arrows flew down in an oblique manner, and it was impossible for the shield array to cover every angle, and the casualties continued to increase.
In the event of such a blow, either the counter-fire will be carried out to the end. Carry out heavy blows, fight and consume; Either they launched a counterattack with light troops, but Yuan's response was extremely strange. Seeing that all the generals in Youzhou are full of suspicions. "The strongest soldier of the Three Kingdoms" "Yuan Shao, no. It should be frustrated, what is his idea? Wang Yu frowned.
Yuan's archers are fighting back. But there was never an area of heavy blows, and judging by the strength of the return fire, the archers seemed to be evenly distributed across the entire front. What's even more strange is that under the blow of Bai Ma Yicong's arrow rain, there was never a miserable cry in the Yuan army's array. There were a few sporadic sounds, and they were also very short, as if someone was covering their mouths as soon as they opened their mouths.
The blow to morale caused by mounted shooting is often much greater than the actual killing. In this process, screaming is a very important medium.
Seeing the enemy running around not far away, but not being able to fight, and constantly hearing the wails of wounded soldiers or the screams of the dying around them, even well-trained soldiers can be emotionally affected.
Therefore, the current Yuan Jun array is quite weird. Their counterattacks were inappropriate, soft, and could not hurt their opponents; But their own injuries didn't seem to be large, as if there were not people in the military formation, but a group of clay puppets.
"This is the Xuanxiang Array......" Wang Yu's self-talk responded, and a young voice unraveled his doubts.
"This is the Xuanxiang Array?" Wang Yu was shocked, and the words in the Mo family's posthumous scroll suddenly flashed in his heart.
The Xuanxiang array, so the suspicious people are difficult to defeat, and the so-called suspicious array is the Xuanxiang array. Set up this array, there will be more flags and feathers, pay attention to the chaos of the armor to sit, the car chaos to do, the purpose is to confuse the enemy, so that people can not figure out the reality.
Because of the forbidden, Wang Yu did not study the military book left by Xu Rong from beginning to end, and those basic skills such as military training, he swept them over at a glance and ten lines, focusing on the art of war and tactics, of course, he would not skip the formation.
However, what is on paper is shallow in the end, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's prompt, Wang Yu's theory would not be able to connect with reality for a while. When he had the manuscript and looked at it again, he understood it. "Entertainment Show" "Hmm. Zhao Yuntou shook his head again, and said very seriously: "The Xuanxiang Array is just a general term, and there are many changes in this array, the simple one can change two instruments, three talents, and four elephants, and the complex ones have six plum blossom arrays, seven-star Beidou arrays, as well as the legendary eight golden locks, and the nine palace gossip arrays, all of which belong to the category of the Xuanxiang array. ”
Zhao Yun spoke at length and said that Wang Yu was stunned. The style of the Mohists is mainly pragmatic, which is not only reflected in beliefs, but also in the art of war and even martial arts. Including Xu Rong, the sages of the Mo family who left a message in the posthumous scroll were not very interested in the suspicious array, so there was very little explanation of the Xuanxiang array on the posthumous scroll, far less careful than Zhao Yun said.
"Zilong, can you see what kind of changes are under the frustration?" Wang Yu asked humbly.
Could it be that Zhao Yun's ability to lead the troops is reflected in the formation? This is a new statement.
"I'm still a shallow learner, I can't see it." Zhao Yun shook his head a little frustrated, he was a very serious person, although he didn't want to disappoint the prince who valued him very much, but he still had something to say.
In fact, he had already seen the meaning of Wang Yu's envelope, including those temptations that were absent, and he was also like a mirror in his heart. In this regard, he felt very excited, and it was a great honor for the martial artist to be valued by the world-famous champion Hou.
Through contact with Wang Yu and the generals around him, Zhao Yun's mood began to decline. Compared with those veteran generals who have experienced a hundred battles and will win every battle, whether it is murderous, martial arts, or the art of war, he feels that he is a lot worse, and it seems that there is a certain distance from the expectations of the kings and princes.
It was easy to muster up the courage to talk about the knowledge of the formation, but he was stopped by a sentence, compared to the superior adaptability of the prince and the marquis, how much worse is it a step or two?
This fact made him very depressed, could he only shout and cheer in the crowd?
"If you can't see it, you can't see it, if you don't say it, I can't even see that this is the Xuanxiang Array." Although he shifted his attention to the battle situation, it was at most half, and Wang Yu's other half of his mind had been on Zhao Yun, so he keenly felt the other party's emotional changes, and hurriedly expressed relief.
Zhao Yun's heart warmed, and when he raised his head suddenly, Wang Yu's clear voice came into his ears at the same time: "Zilong, then, do you know how to break the formation?" ”
"I understand a little." This time, Zhao Yun gave an affirmative answer. (To be continued.) )
