Chapter 189: The Art of War
As soon as Yu Li gave an order, a thousand barbarian bull cavalry rushed out first, and behind a thousand cavalry, there was a barbarian army that followed the roar.
Seeing that the barbarian army began to charge, the palms of the soldiers on the side of the Thousand Teeth Army also began to sweat.
But fortunately, there is Huang Zhang at the front, which can be regarded as an invisible encouragement to everyone.
Thinking of Huang Zhang, they couldn't help but clench the spear in their hands.
The eldest prince is not afraid of death, what are they afraid of!
Just when the barbarian bull cavalry was about 800 meters away from the defense line of the Qianya Army, this group of cavalry began to separate to the sides, revealing the barbarian army brigade behind them.
After all, the number of people is too small, if they really rush over, they can indeed break through the defense line of the Thousand Teeth Army, but in this way, I am afraid that this cavalry will be gone.
This barbarian bull cavalry was rewarded by the barbarian king to Li, and he was reluctant to waste it.
Huang Zhang also guessed that the other party was reluctant to charge the battle with cavalry, and saw that the main force of the barbarian army was about to approach, so he raised his hand.
Hu Lie personally raised the flag behind him to command, and when Huang Zhang raised his hand, Hu Lie waved the flag.
The archers behind the Thousand Teeth Army immediately emerged from the formation.
Seeing the archers of the Thousand Teeth Army, Yu Li shouted: "Raise the shield!" ”
Suddenly, the barbarians in the charge began to raise the wooden shield in their hands to protect their heads.
"Bang! Bang! ”
With a few crisp bowstring sounds, arrows rained down on the barbarians.
But fortunately, the barbarian army in Calli had already been blocked with wooden shields, and except for a dozen unlucky ghosts who were shot, the others were fine.
This result is not surprising, after all, the other party is not a barbarian army like Chaya who hurriedly left the city, plus the barbarian army does not have an archer army, there must be a way to defend against archers.
Huang Zhang is a little pity, it would be good if it was a strong crossbow, it could directly collapse the other party to death, the bow and arrow were still too soft.
Seeing that a round of arrow rain was useless, Huang Zhang didn't waste his physical strength anymore, and gave Hu Lie an order: "Change the formation!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the flag array in Hu Lie's hand changed, and the battle formation that was originally lined up began to unfold in an inverted "V" shape, and the yellow chapter was located at the end of the "V" shape.
Seeing the Qianya Army changing formations on the spot, Yu Li didn't react for a while.
When he saw that the prince of Suguo, who wanted to join the army, began to slowly retreat, he began to be anxious.
If this great prince is allowed to slip away, then it will be difficult for him to explain to the army!
Thinking of this, Yu Li didn't think much about it, and personally took the lead in rushing in the direction of Huang Zhang.
How else to call them barbarians, relying on their own body to think that they are invincible on the battlefield, but ignoring the basic role of battle formations.
This is a wild goose marching formation, a battle formation specially used to soften the opponent's edge.
It's a pity that the barbarian army is not clear.
Just when Yu Li was desperately chasing Huang Zhang, the two sides of the barbarian army had already fought with the Thousand Teeth Army.
The battlefield is grand, and there are many things that need to be controlled, so there will be flags and drums that can be used on the battlefield, which is the essence of hundreds of years of battlefield experience.
Although the first wave of the Thousand Teeth Army collided with the barbarian army, the result was not the one-sided slaughter that Jiang Li thought, on the contrary, the two sides began to entangle.
Although the barbarian army is as powerful as an ox, the Qianya Army's side is better in equipment and discipline, and the long-term cooperation training has made the Qianya Army soldiers have a very high degree of tacit understanding.
Although there are places where they are breached, the soldiers behind will immediately make up for it and block the empty line of defense.
And in the middle of the battlefield, Yu Li was still rushing in the direction of Huang Zhang with people.
Just as Yu Li set his eyes on Huang Zhang in the center of the battlefield, he didn't notice that there were already archers on both sides of the Goose Formation who began to draw arrows with bows.
But fortunately, some brute soldiers saw it and immediately beckoned the surrounding soldiers to set up shields for defense.
But this time, they thought too much, they only needed to defend one side before, and the wooden shield on their heads was completely enough.
But this time it was different, they had already entered the center of the wild goose marching array, and there was a rain of arrows on both sides, so they couldn't prevent this side and not that side!
The entire middle part of the "V" shape is covered by a rain of arrows, and the fire is cross-fired, and Rao is a stupid person, and he can see that his situation is not so favorable.
As he swept away the arrows, he shouted, "Rush in both directions!" ”
Now, it's the turn of the battlefield signal just mentioned, tens of thousands of people on the battlefield are fighting, but it is not something he can shout clearly with a single voice, and the voice of Yu Li only makes the people around him hear clearly, but almost half of the battlefield can't hear it at all.
Without a command, and being swept by a rain of powerful arrows, everyone will feel scared when they see the people around them constantly falling to the ground.
The barbarians are just brave, not afraid of death, they will also be afraid, and they will be afraid, but these emotions are covered up because of their size and strength advantage.
When they are at a disadvantage or a great inferiority, the emotions that an ordinary soldier should have immediately come up.
The barbarian soldiers in the rear began to break and flee.
Is this the behavior of a barbarian?
But today, this behavior it appears! There are one and two, and the troops in the rear of the barbarian army began to slowly lose touch with the large army.
Bian Huan, who was in the rear of the Thousand Teeth Army, stood on a high platform and kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield.
When he saw that there was a barbarian army fleeing, he immediately raised his hand, and the trumpeter beside him immediately waved a small flag.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
As soon as the flag waved, there was a sudden and rapid drumming in the ragtag army in the rear.
The earth-shattering drum sound spread throughout the battlefield, and Bian Huan was afraid that the Thousand Tooth Army would not hear the drum, so he moved all the thirty-six big drums from the twelve dock forts to the battlefield.
As soon as the drums sounded, the soldiers of the Thousand Teeth Army began to change formations again.
The geese marching formation, which was originally arranged in a "V" shape, immediately had generals and soldiers interspersed with the center of the battlefield.
The soldiers in action were like long snakes, a dozen long snakes, one on the left and one on the left, lined up, led by the commander of the thousand and the centurion, and began to pass towards the other side of the "V" shape.
Chains-like troops began to charge into the barbarians from the geese marching formation.
At the beginning of the formation, the barbarians had not yet reacted, but they also made a stubborn resistance, but as the chains spread out more and more, they had a feeling that they could not take care of each other.
And the interspersed soldiers also began to gradually increase, originally one person on the left and right, used to block the attack of the barbarians on both sides, slowly, two more soldiers on the left and right, began to cooperate with the soldiers outside to block the attack of the barbarian army.
In this way, the original dozen or so chains shuttling in the middle of the "V" shape began to slowly expand, then crossed, and then connected, and the battle formation, which was originally a "V" shape, formed a turtle shell shape in an instant.
The long snakes that passed by before became the lines on the turtle's back, and the barbarian army was divided one after another, and the endless soldiers of the Thousand Teeth Army began to shrink the turtle shell, and the barbarian army was slowly wiped out in this turtle shell.
In fact, the most desperate thing is that no matter where the barbarian army looks over, all you can see are the people of the Thousand Teeth Army.
You must know that the barbarian army is almost the same number as the Thousand Tooth Army, but it is completely different on the battlefield, the barbarian soldiers only feel as if they are fighting alone, and that desperate loneliness makes them powerless.
The five hundred barbarian cavalry at the outermost part of the battle formation were even more completely dumbfounded at this moment.
They were previously ordered by Yu Li, and after the barbarian army completely dispersed the Thousand Tooth Army, they were responsible for the pursuit, and no one was left!
Who knows, now looking at their field of vision, where can they still see the figure of the barbarian army, the Thousand Teeth Army is like a beast, which has completely engulfed the barbarian army!
They are not rushing at the moment, nor are they rushing at the moment, and they immediately began to entangle.
"Rush! Rescue the cave master! The barbarian general of the bull cavalry spoke.
After all, they belong to Calli, and if Calli is gone, their existence is meaningless.
However, just as the Barbarian Bull Legion was preparing to charge, I saw that the 40,000 troops that had been quietly guarding the rear of the Qianya Army suddenly began to move, and the 40,000 people tightly protected the Qianya Army under the command of Bian Huan.
Looking at the Su army that was constantly pouring up, these five hundred barbarian cattle troops seemed so small.
The general glanced at the opponent's position, knew that the overall situation had been decided, and shouted helplessly: "Withdraw!" ”
Knowing that it is a dead charge, there is no need!
When the bull knights behind them heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, they had already lost the desire to charge when they saw Bian Huan coming up with a miscellaneous army.
The walls of men were piled up one after another, and with the charge of their men, I was afraid that if I could not see the barbarian army, I would be swallowed up by the Su army.
With the retreat of the Bull Knights, the frontal battlefield was also declared to be completely over.
The barbarian cave master of Langqi City, Yu Li, was captured alive by Hu Lie, and 10,000 barbarian troops were completely annihilated.
Once the turtle back array is used, it is almost the end of total annihilation.
Because the soldiers in the turtle back formation, there is almost no room for resistance.
But the turtle back formation has always been used by the side with more people to the side with fewer people, like today's Qianya Army, which is really relatively rare, to blame, it can only be blamed for Yu Li's ignorance of the art of war, and he can't even recognize the most basic goose marching array, and finally under the bravery of the soldiers of the Qianya Army, he was completely surrounded, and then completely annihilated.
This victory was a tactical and tactical victory, which also explains the fundamental reason why the barbarian army was stronger than Su Ren in terms of physical strength and strength, but it was always in a corner.
On the battlefield, it's not that your strength is strong enough to dominate everything, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield, and there are too many things to consider.
In the past few hundred years, the barbarian army has also produced a Ke Wushu who can wave his troops to defeat the Su army, and the others are too leng.
And in today's battle, Huang Zhang didn't command much, he let Hu Lie and Bian Huan be in charge, and he was just in charge of going through the motions.
But Huang Zhang has always believed that the barbarian army is not so terrifying.
At the beginning, he led 10,000 Northwest Army and the Cold Wind Battalion to take down the barbarian army, and the Qianya Army, known as the elite of the Su State, was unlikely to be defeated!
It's just that the Thousand Teeth Army has suffered a major defeat, which has affected their morale, and they also have a certain fear of the barbarian army, and these factors are the fundamental reasons why they think they can't fight.
But Huang Zhang took the lead and went to the battlefield in person, for the momentum of this group of elites who were attacked by the barbarian army at the beginning, then they are invincible.
From this moment on, the Thousand Teeth Army will regain its glory and defeat the powerful enemy!
