Chapter 391: The Calm Before the Storm (5)
Thinking of this section, he couldn't help but ask: "That kid from Jin An deliberately put it like this, could it be that he is delaying time and waiting for reinforcements?" ”
The veteran was also uncertain, so he said: "Your Highness wait and see, at least wait for King Qi and them to do it together, that will be a lot safer, Jin An is not so easy to deal with." ”
The king of Wei had no choice but to agree at the moment, he had been beaten badly by the Southern Wu army several times before, although this time he gathered the most troops, and there were all the other people who could be summoned to help, but the people's hearts were unpredictable, and it was not clear what other people were thinking, and what was the real strength of Jin An.
Soon after, King Qi's troops appeared at the end of sight, in a pre-planned position.
When all the troops were almost gone, the king of Wei was ready to attack, because he found that he could no longer find a reason to wait.
All the troops went towards Jin An in the center of the encirclement.
When the two sides approached a mile, Jin An, who had originally surrounded all the troops, suddenly waved the flag, and the gates of each side were wide open.
King Wei couldn't understand what he meant, but the veteran beside him reminded: "Jin An's move, there must be fraud in it, you need to be careful." ”
Before the battle, Jin An's formation gate was not attacked, and it opened by itself, which was clearly that the guy was going to make a big move.
The King of Wei attacked from the north of the array, and his soldiers prepared to charge after resting for a while outside the hundred zhangs.
Due north, Jin An's formation gate closed again, and then the formation dispersed, and a shield wall formation was formed.
The king of Qi is in the west, but there is no shield wall array on that side, and the gate of the array is not closed, but a group of more than 500 cavalry suddenly rushed out of the gate of the array, led by the general dragging the halberd, the physique is strong, and the wind is galloping all the way, and there is no cowardice because of the large number of enemies, but it is menacing, and it looks like a fierce god and scaring children.
King Qi was taken aback, he originally only saw that the gate was wide open, since the king of Wei chose the north, then he chose the west, and felt that there was an opportunity, but before he could give an order, the opposite side actually took the initiative to kill viciously, and immediately panicked.
The cavalry came quickly, and the general led by him brandished a halberd and directly took the lead in the line of the King of Qi, because of their loose formation and loose discipline, they galloped across the country, and for a while it seemed to be in a no-man's land.
Fortunately, there were many people on King Qi's side, and they didn't collapse, but the army was in chaos, and they were dizzy by this group of killing gods, and they patronized and dealt with those cavalry for a while, and they forgot the overall situation.
There are also two places in the formation gate, and hundreds of horses are also rushed out, except for the King of Wei and the King of Qi, the number of soldiers and horses in the other roads is less, and the combat effectiveness is even worse, and they are all dragged.
Seeing that the battle had begun, all the soldiers and horses launched an attack, and Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, gritted his teeth and led the whole army to rush to the shield wall in front of him.
Jin An's fight like this happened to let the others drag that guy's cavalry, and Li Chengqing didn't have any capable generals here, so he had no other way but to attack the shield wall in a real way, which was completely a tough battle.
The battle broke out, Jin An's shield wall array was strictly defended, the more fierce the attack, the greater the lethality, the Wei Wang's soldiers and horses were not strong in combat, and they didn't dare to work hard at all, so they couldn't make any progress, so they could only linger on the periphery.
Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, originally relied on the large number of people, thinking that even if he didn't defeat Jin'an, it would be no problem to frustrate the other party's spirit, but seeing that such a long time had passed, he had made no progress, and he was anxious, and he felt that he was about to lose face.
He looked into the distance, and saw that several other troops with only one or two thousand people had collapsed and run away under the rapid offensive of the Jin'an cavalry, and couldn't help but curse a few times: "Waste, it's useless, and you can't stand it before you fight much, and only a few hundred cavalry will chase them like ducks, and the people next to you don't know think that they have encountered a group of heavenly soldiers and generals!" ”
As for the King of Qi's side, he was killed by the general and the cavalry for a while, although he suffered heavy casualties, but he gradually withstood it, but what he couldn't understand was that the general suddenly led the team to turn back and shouted.
The gate of the array opened, and the troops of Li Dejiang, the king of Qi, were still stunned, and those cavalry retreated into the array one after another.
Then there was a sound of "click" spring popping in the array.
The black crows crossed the sky, and the dense crossbow arrows raged among the troops of the King of Qi, screaming again and again for a while, and the thunderous offensive suppressed the entire army.
"Crow's Crossbow!"
There was a sparse exclamation from the troops of Li Dejiang, the king of Qi, but it was quickly drowned out by the whistling and screaming of crossbow arrows.
It was a very small number of soldiers who had fought against Southern Wu, but the proportion was too low, and it couldn't raise the overall combat effectiveness at all.
Li Dejiang is even worse than Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, Li Chengqing is at least burly and dares to fight, but Li Dejiang is thin and small, and he used to be obsessed with lust, and he is a weak and unbearable atmosphere from top to bottom, he doesn't even know the thousand crow crossbow that the Northern Tang people have suffered many losses, and he doesn't know what it is at all, but he thinks it's so powerful, and then the generals around him change color, so he panicked.
In fact, even those who recognized the Thousand Crow Crossbow were also surprised, none of them could have imagined that Jin An would actually bring the Thousand Crow Crossbow troops in order to deal with them, although it was certainly not as authentic and well-trained as the Thousand Crow Crossbow Army when the general attack on Jinling at that time, but for those troops whose combat effectiveness was not strict enough, it was enough to deterrent.
The usual method used by the troops on both sides is to use long-range weapons first, and then the cavalry charges when they are finished, and the cavalry continues to shoot after charging.
Like Jin An, the cavalry rushed first, and the cavalry rushed after the thousand crow crossbows, and came in reverse, that was to show off their prestige and frustrate the morale of the enemy.
It worked.
When the crow had been firing for a while, the gate opened again, and the cavalry troops, who had rested for a while, charged again to the roar of the general.
The King of Qi was completely stunned by such a blow with a completely military strategy, and the troops quickly collapsed.
He probably didn't expect his troops to break up so quickly, and even the enemy's large army didn't catch up, just because there were more than five hundred cavalry, and others, including the King of Wei, didn't expect it.
