Chapter 57: The two armies fight

Countless snowflakes converged into a torrent and roared towards Taishi Xie, Chu Zhen and the others.

"Dahan Mountain Palm", Beiyi Wanyan Kui's self-created famous stunt, like the Holy King's Palm, is also the top five in today's martial arts.

"Presumptuous!"

Xie Yi flicked his sleeves, and all the snowflakes shot under the agitation of his true qi flew up, and then he waved again, and a snowball the size of a water tank smashed back.

Rumble!

Wan Yankui struck out with another palm, and the snowball immediately exploded, and the scattered energy turned into a raging blizzard, and the surrounding soldiers were hit by the ice and snow, and they were injured and fell to the ground, and the nearby tents were also crushed and swept into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yi jumped up, "Wanyan Kui, you want to fight out!" ”

"Haha, I can't ask for it."

Wan Yan Kui carried his hands in the void, and his body was surrounded by white mist, like an immortal.

In the blink of an eye, the two supreme grandmasters flew outside the camp.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Zhen and Yan Luo glanced at each other, and their expressions were complicated.

After a cup of tea, General Yuan suddenly hurried into the big tent.

"Your Majesty, the scouts are coming to report that the main force of the enemy army is rushing towards our army's camp!"

"What!"

Chu Zhen, who was talking and laughing with Yan Luo, changed his face greatly.

Yan Luo suddenly realized: "I see, Wan Yan Kui wants to lure the master away so that he can send a large army to attack." ”

"How's that okay?" Chu Zhen said urgently.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry." General Yuan said, "The commander of the military has laid out the Eight Desolation Formations, and when the enemy army arrives, he can destroy it in one fell swoop, and I will win this battle." ”

"Eight Desolation Formation?" Yan Luoqi said, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have only heard of Zhuge Wuhou's gossip array, and I also ask the general for advice, what kind of formation is this eight desolate formation?" ”

General Yuan said: "Don't dare to give advice, these Eight Desolate Formations are new formations created by Master Wu, and there is no record in the Art of War, so Yan Gongzi naturally won't know about it." However, the Eight Desolation Array is exquisite and vast, far surpassing any existing formation, and I privately think that it is no longer under Zhuge Wuhou's Bagua Array. ”

"I see, thank you General for your doubts."

Yan Luo bowed his hand, but he didn't think so, Zhuge Liang's gossip array has long been lost, of course you can boast that you have surpassed it, anyway, no one has seen it.

Literati like him have always looked down on military attachés, and under the influence of Xie Yi, Yan Luo despised Wulong City very much, and did not believe that a reckless man from a martial arts background could create any clever formations.

……

Outside the barracks, the cries shook the sky.

The Dayong army was divided into nine major war groups, each of which was divided into dozens of smaller groups, all arranged according to a specific formation, forming a formation that resembled gossip but was not gossip.

The central battle group of the large array guarded a high platform, and Wulong City, dressed in military uniform, stood on the high platform and personally commanded the whole army.

And just on the opposite side of the Yongjun less than a hundred zhang away, the combined forces of the Jin State and Dongying were also in full array.

The two armies confronted each other, and a major war was about to break out.

The Yongjun had never put out the Eight Desolation Formation before, and this battle was the first time that the Eight Desolation Formation had been on the battlefield.

The Jin Army does not have talents who are familiar with formations, so they cannot solve the Eight Desolation Formations theoretically, but no matter what the formation, there is a solution to break the ingenuity with force.

That is, send iron cavalry to charge the formation, break through the opponent's battle line from multiple points head-on, and then pull back the horse and charge in reverse to disrupt the opponent's formation.

As the horn sounded, tens of thousands of Jin Army iron horsemen rushed towards the Eight Desolation Formation.

For a time, thousands of horses galloped, and the earth shook.

However, before the Jin cavalry could rush far, a burst of gunfire rang out behind them, and many cavalry fell off their horses.

The cavalry of the Jin Army looked back and found that it was the Dongying people who turned against them and shot at them.

In a few breaths, Dongying's bird gun team had fired three rows of guns in a row.

The Toei people used the famous "three-stage shot" musket tactic, and it is said that Oda Nobunaga's musket team defeated Takeda Katsuyori's elite cavalry in the Battle of Nagashinosa.

This tactic is to divide the musket team into three groups, starting with the first group of shots, then returning to the rear to reload, switching to the second group of attacks, and so on.

This shortens the interval between shots, which allows you to continuously suppress the enemy and prevent them from charging in between fires.

"Keep rushing!"

The general who led the cavalry of the Jin army shouted.

At this time, the cavalry of the Jin army was in chaos, some were shot to death, some horses were frightened and went crazy, and some were trampled to death by horses.

Although he only received one round of three-stage blows, the Jin soldiers had already killed and injured many people.

In this case, turning back will only cause more confusion and casualties, and if you continue to charge on horseback, you will quickly get out of the range of the bird's gun.

The Jin State was dominated by cavalry, and Dongying was dominated by infantry, and the formation of a coalition army originally complemented each other, but at this time it became a fatal weakness.

The infantry units of the Jin army were mainly responsible for logistics, and most of them remained in the rear at this time, and there were few soldiers guarding the general's side.

Therefore, some of Dongying's ashigaru armed with spears in hand fought with the Jin cavalry at the horse fence, and the other part went straight to the general of the Jin army.

There are also strong Dongchang factory guards in it, all of whom want to kill the enemy general and make contributions.

However, since Xie Yi broke into the army and went on a killing spree, most of the current generals of the Jin Army are replaced by masters from Changbaimen, and it is not easy to kill them.

When the cavalry troops were adjusted, the general ordered the lieutenant generals to lead part of the cavalry on the left and right flanks to turn around and attack the Dongying position, while he personally led the main force to continue to rush towards the Eight Desolation Formation.

The general looked at the large area of cold light shining in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile.

Tiefutu is the most elite heavy armored cavalry of the Jin Army, wearing two heavy iron shackles, all around the turn are decorated with long eaves, the skulls are extremely strong, only two eyes are exposed, guns and arrows cannot enter, the most suitable for charging into battle.

However, there were also Franc Musketeers in the Eight Desolations, who stood in front of the archers and fired their muskets at the angle between the towers and shields, as well as several Franc cannons next to them, all of whom were the nemesis of Tiefutu.

It is a pity that the number of these firearms is not large, and the damage is limited, and soon the cavalry of the Jin Army rushed into the Eight Desolation Array, like a tide pouring into the labyrinth, and the two sides began a fierce battle.

"This command sucks." Yifeiyun, who was standing on the cliff and looking out, commented.

Although the real battlefield brought him a great shock, whether it was Jin Guo or Dongying's tactics, in his opinion, there were serious problems.

However, thinking that most of the original generals of the Jin Army were killed by Xie Yi, and that the Dongying army was also controlled by Li Jian, the overseer of Dongchang, Yi Feiyun had no choice but to smile indifferently.

Ever since Governor Li took over Tokugawa Iemitsu and deliberately or unintentionally marginalized Yi Feiyun and his party, he has lost control of the situation.

The people of Dongchang did not return to the camp of the Yongjun, but first went to find the Dongying army, and used Tokugawa Iemitsu as a puppet to control the Dongying soldiers.

Yi Feiyun is also happy to let go, it is best for someone to do this kind of high-risk thing, although it may be a few hundred nirvana less, but he doesn't care, because the big head must be counted on him.
