The soldiers of Yan State fight with Yidi all the year round, and their strength is still very strong, but because Yan Country is located in the north, the climate is cold, and it is not suitable for farming, coupled with the small number of people, although the land of Yan Country is thousands of miles, but the overall strength can only be regarded as second-rate among the nations.

"Did Yan Hou remember the incident of Duke Qi Huan's attack on Lu in the past?" Gongsun Mao asked.

"Qi Huan Gong attacking Lu?" Yan Hou was surprised.

Gongsun Mao smiled and said: "In the past, Lu and Qi competed, Huan Gong was defeated first, and then he managed the middle plan, selling grain at a low price and collecting it at a high price. ”

"Immediately after Huan Gong ordered no more grain to be sold to Lu, Lu was hungry, Huan Gong easily broke it, the people rushed to join Qi State, and Lu Gong could only cede land to Qi State to seek peace."

"How similar is the form of the Yan Kingdom to the Lu Kingdom today? The price of grain in Yan is high, and the people cannot afford to buy it, so they can only serve Qi Guo, if Yan Guo is not vigilant, Lu Guo is a lesson from the past! ”

Yan Hou's face became more and more ugly.

"Damn it!"

Thinking that not long ago, Qi and Sanjin jointly attacked Huai, Yan Hou immediately decided to teach Qi some lessons.

"Your envoy, please also return to Huaigong, Yan is willing to form an alliance with Huai and attack Qi. When the army of Qi goes south, Lone will send a large army to attack Qi. ”

"Yan Hou, you are really a wise monarch."

The clouds of war shrouded the land of the Central Plains, and the Wei State and the Song State were still facing each other, and the Huai State began to send a large army after knowing that the Six Kingdoms were attacking Huai, and at the same time conscripted the four countries of Zhong Cai to send troops.

Wang Pu sent Xu Feng to command 10,000 Tengjia troops and 50,000 ordinary soldiers to defend in the area of Dabie Mountain to resist the Chu army, and at the same time requisitioned the sailors of Chaohu and Wu to go upstream to block the possible Chu navy.

In the east, Huai'an was used as a base, and 10,000 Tengjia troops and 50,000 ordinary soldiers were dispatched to the north led by Shangqing Fan Jie to build a defensive line to deal with the Qi State.

As for the Sanjin coalition army, Wang Pu personally led 30,000 vine armor troops, 5,000 forest guards and 100,000 soldiers to the north. At the same time, he left 50,000 troops and 5,000 forest guards to guard Jinling.

In addition to recruiting 300,000 troops, Huai also recruited 200,000 people to transport materials, grain and grass.

The Six-Nation Alliance sent troops to attack Huai, and sure enough, Qi and Chu attacked from the northeast and west respectively, while Sanjin attacked from the north.

The location of the Song State is very important, the land is fertile, and the population is large, if it falls into the hands of the Three Jins, their strength will immediately rise, and Wang Pu led the army north.

The Sanjin Dynasty gathered 250,000 troops, plus the 50,000 troops of the country, a total of 300,000 troops, and 200,000 people, it can be said that the banner covers the sky and the sun.

The reinforcements of the Huai State 3,000 Tengjia Army rushed to Shangqiu first, and the Wei Guo could not capture the Song State, so he wanted to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and saw that the Huai State only came with 3,000 people, and immediately wanted to take advantage of the Huai Army's unstable foothold to launch an attack.

It's a pity that Wei Guoguo didn't know that the vanguard of Huaiguo was the 3,000 Tengjia Army. Carrying a load for a hundred miles, you can still put into battle. This time, the Wei State sent troops to the rescue, but it did not roll the armor and march.

Therefore, after seeing the attack of the Patriotic Army, the 3,000 Tengjia Army immediately lined up in six rows and lined up in formation. Wei Qi, the general of the patriotic state, was very strange to see the Huai army in such a formation.

"It is said that the Huai army is the elite of the world, but in my opinion, it is not so, but three thousand men and horses are actually arrayed horizontally, how can I win, see if I break the enemy today!"

"The general is mighty, the Huai country is at a loss, and he has laid out this kind of battle formation, this time the general broke the Huai army, and he is going to shock the world!" The surrounding lieutenants complimented.

"General, the elite of Huaiguo is known to the world, don't be careless, why don't you test it first?" Another person explained.

Wei Qi laughed and said: "Huaiguo is far away, but there are only 3,000 people and horses, and there is no rest, and with such a formation, how can I defend the country?" As everyone knows, the art of war: wait for work with ease, and strike first! ”

Immediately pointed to the 3,000 men and horses waiting in formation not far away: "Sun Tzu Youyun: Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it, just 3,000 tired divisions, I have a large army of 10,000 people, and the advantage is mine, how can I not win this battle?" ”

Immediately ordered the army to attack.

After Wu Shennai Qingji, he inherited his father's bravery, had the power to drag the ox upside down, and fought bravely. Seeing that Wei Guo had sent 10,000 people to attack, he immediately beckoned his hand and asked the army to stop the formation.

The three thousand vine armor soldiers took out the crossbow machines one after another and lined up to wind them. With the chariot as the vanguard, the patriotic army rushed directly towards the Huai army formation, followed by the large army. This tactic is the same tactic that has relied on chariots to crush infantry for hundreds of years.

Seeing the patriotic chariot charge, Wu Shen sneered, since the development of bows and crossbow arrows, this tactic of relying on chariot charging has been outdated, and he can only bully and bully the barbarians. Now Wei Guo actually uses this tactic to deal with the elite of Huai State.

The chariot rumbled forward, and the patriotic army pressed on, without any temptation, and wanted to crush this Huai army in a battle. The pressure of facing the chariot charge is extremely great, and if the will is not strong enough, in the face of the overwhelming momentum, you will directly collapse and starve.

Huai's rattan armor army was naturally battle-experienced, and in the face of the chariot charge, the three thousand people did not move at all. There was silence in the battle array. This made the patriotic soldiers who were charging also feel a little surprised.

Seeing the chariot rushing sideways, when there were only eighty steps left, Wu Shen immediately ordered: "Release!" ”

'Crash Crash! ’

The dull bowstring sound sounded instantly, the first column of five hundred crossbow arrows was released instantly, the crossbow arrows instantly passed through a distance of dozens of meters, and rushed to the front row of war horses to be hit by arrows instantly, the crossbow arrows were extremely powerful, and they directly submerged into the body of the war horse, and the war horses screamed, and they overturned one after another, and even hit directly with the chariot behind them.

Immediately after that, the second row of crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, and five hundred crossbow arrows were shot again, followed by the third row, the fourth row, and six consecutive rows of crossbowmen constantly shooting alternately, and the entire army array was in operation, and the clouds and water did not stop, and the arrows rained down one after another.

The crossbow arrows were endless, and those chariots that were lucky enough to dodge the first round of crossbow arrows could not dodge the second round, and under this continuous rain of arrows, they fell to the ground one after another, and the patriotic soldiers who charged behind the chariots fell like mowing grass.

The endless arrows caused heavy casualties to the charging army of the Patriotic State, and even the iron-armored shields they wore could not stop the crossbow arrows of the Huai State.

The power of crossbow arrows is originally greater than that of bows and arrows, not to mention that the rattan armor army is equipped with crossbows, which are powerful enough to have two stones (one stone and one hundred and twenty catties), and the iron armor of Huai can be pierced within fifty steps, not to mention the armor of the country. The defenders who rushed up were killed and wounded innumerable.

Such heavy casualties directly caused the collapse of the patriotic army, Wu Shen saw the rout of the enemy army, and immediately led the army to attack, and 10,000 guards were killed in a fiasco, and the corpses were all over the field.
