Chapter 183: Breaking the Formation

With the waving of the order flag, Tang Hejun's battle formation opened, and the offensive battle formation immediately changed. The sword-platoon and the archers came out of the barracks. Always ready to meet Zhao Min's cavalry.

Facing the change of formation of the other party in front of him, Zhao Min was not surprised, this was the impromptu decision of a mature general.

Zhao Min then ordered the cavalry to start moving towards the two wings, intending to avoid the rain of arrows from the other side.

Seeing the cavalry charging troops to the two sides in a roundabout, the hands of Tang and Tea finally relaxed.

Although this is just a simple and ordinary tactic, from this tactic, Tang He saw that the opponent's main general was unusual.

Because the cavalry attacked on both flanks, although it was easy to say, it required a long period of coordination and cooperation to do. Because as long as the ordinary troops leave the command of the commander-in-chief, they will immediately become a plate of scattered sand.

Only a small number of elite soldiers can do this, even if the commander does not have an order, he can also adapt to complete his own combat mission.

Therefore, the amount of combat effectiveness after the division of troops is the best way to test whether a unit is well-equipped.

Seeing that the opponent's flanks were roundabout, and the formation was still not chaotic, Tang He noticed that this army was the opponent's elite cavalry. Moreover, this method of warfare was familiar to all the generals and sergeants present, because this was the common offensive strategy of the Mongol cavalry.

First the cavalry charged, then the flanks detoured, then the mounted long-range attacks, and finally the close-range horse fight.

And Zhao Min's fighting style was the same as Tang He had imagined, after the cavalry detoured on both flanks, the opponent's crossbowmen phalanx was powerless. Because the speed at which the arrows fall is far less fast than the speed of the war horse.

With the command of Zhao Min and the centurion of the front team, the cavalry drew their bows and arrows, and then one after another arrows were shot at the Wu army's camp. Faced with a rain of arrows from the cavalry, the infantry could not avoid it. There is no escape, and it can only be easily resisted with a shield. However, many of the arrows thrown still passed through the gaps, directly killing these soldiers.

When the archers and infantry were about to counterattack, the cavalry led by Zhao Min had already fled, and then regrouped together to prepare for a new attack.

Seeing this, Tang He said: "This person's tactics are quite good for the tactics of the Mongolian army, but I didn't expect Mingzun to surrender the Mongolian cavalry." ”

At this time, Feng Sheng, who was in charge of the north gate, came to Tang He's side, and he glanced at the two sides that were fighting on the battlefield.

Feng Sheng said: "It's not surprising, Mingzun started in the Western Regions, I heard that the countries of the Western Regions have submitted to Mingzun, and there were also some Semu soldiers who participated in the Guanzhong Battle with Meng Yuan before. It is not a very strange thing that Mingzun surrendered the Mongol Tartars. What's more, there is also a Mongolian lady next to that Mingzun. ”

Tang He said: "Our opponent is very clear about their situation, if they are just defending the city, then it is a dead end, but they dare to go out of the city to fight us head-on, this is beyond my expectations." But what exactly is his goal? ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Min, who was riding on a sweaty horse, rode a thousand, and had rushed into the battle formation of the Wu army at the fastest speed, Zhao Min's war horse was the fastest, although the soldiers took out hook and sickle spears and tripping horse ropes that were specially used to deal with cavalry, but these things had not been arranged, and Zhao Min had already skipped from their formation.

After rushing to the Chinese army, Zhao Min used his feet as a help, forcibly pulled the bowstring, and then used his hands and feet together, and shot in the direction of Tang He and Feng Sheng with an arrow.

While the two were talking, the red tassel of Tang He's handsome helmet on his head was shot away by Zhao Min's bow and arrow. Then Zhao Min opened his bow and fired three arrows in a row, hitting the three-pole banner on the lookout platform respectively.

Wu, Shuai, and Tang fell with the three-character banner.

Tang He hadn't woken up from the fact that his helmet was shot off by Zhao Min, only to see that it was dark in front of him, and his handsome flag was directly covered on his body.

Tang He said in a panic: "Is my head in the head!" My head is on it or not! ”

Seeing this, Feng Sheng hurriedly helped Tang He unleash the flag. Tang He's guards and shield guards also rushed over and protected him with a shield array.

"Good!" This good word came from Lan Yu, who had just left the south gate.

Lan Yu was about to lead his troops to attack Li Wenzhong at the south gate, but when he saw Tang He's handsome banner falling, he knew that it was Zhao Min and they had succeeded.

So Lan Yu shouted to the crowd, "Brothers! Everyone is a dignified seven-foot man. The concubine's body is a woman, and she is still good at fighting, how can we, the husbands, be daughters? ”

Then Lan Yu flicked the horse's head, and the front hooves of the war horse were raised, and there was a neigh.

Lan Yu said: "All the troops will charge with the general!" ”

With that, the blue jade's overlord bright silver spear slammed into the ground, ignited a scratch spark, and then rushed out.

Compared with Zhao Min's typical Mongolian cavalry tactics, Lan Yu's tactics were much simpler and rude.

Lan Yu is a horse, directly rushing towards the battle formation of the Ming army, and the follow-up cavalry troops are also close behind.

Although Li Wenzhong has also taken measures to deal with it, but Lan Yu is very brave, when Lan Yu rushed to the front of the shield array in front of the hillside, he shouted to the sky, and then brandished the overlord spear, and the eighty-two pound spear directly penetrated Wu Jun's shield. The shield soldier behind him stabbed him through the heart.

But then Lan Yu raised his hand and screamed to pick up the soldier, and he waved the spear in his hand left and right, constantly stabbing parallel diagonally left and right.

Like the fisherman who paddles. In less than a moment, the neat battle formation should have been killed by Lan Yu's bravery.

After Lan Yu broke through the enemy formation, the cavalry that attacked afterwards also understood it, and the captains of each cavalry killed Lan Yu through the opening.

Then the cavalry troops scattered like razor-cut grass, and soon the infantry camp was scattered by the cavalry led by Lan Yu. Defeated for a while.

Just as Lan Yu was killing in all directions, a Fang Tian Painting Halberd stabbed directly at his face.

When Lan Yu heard the sound of the wind, he hurriedly blocked the overlord gun in his hand and blocked the halberd.

When Lan Yu saw the comer, he said disdainfully: "The main general will personally go into battle, this is a taboo for soldiers." How many days has General Lee not seen him, and he has even forgotten these things? ”

Laijiang gritted his teeth, trembling all over, and still pressed his halberd towards Lan Yu. And the sapphire is also constantly blocking harder.

This will be none other than Li Wenzhong, one of the four fierce generals under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and his adopted son. It's just that compared to the blue jade in front of him, Li Wenzhong is more than strategic, and his bravery is inferior to him.

Li Wenzhong scolded angrily at this time: "You chaotic thief! I originally thought that the first person to rebel was Chang Yuchun, but I didn't expect that the first person to rebel was you! ”

Hearing Li Wenzhong's words, Lan Yu hurriedly seized the opportunity and directly opened the weapon in Li Wenzhong's hand.

Li Wenzhong was blocked back by Lan Yu's strange force, leaned back, and almost fell off his horse.

Lan Yu didn't seize the opportunity to kill Li Wenzhong, after all, he still cared about some old feelings for his former comrades.

Lan Yu said to Li Wenzhong: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous and suspicious of us, and rejected us former Ming Sect disciples. If he is not the Lord, why should I be loyal to him? ”
