Chapter 58: The Qi Army Wins!
the north bank of the turbidity river,
Qin Yang looked at the horse from afar, and watched the Qi army cross the river so quietly.
Behind him, the tens of thousands of Yan State troops were already ready for battle.
Seeing that more and more Qi troops crossed the riverbank, they had begun to form formations by the river.
The adjutant general next to him summoned more and more: "General, give the order to charge, if we wait for the Qi army to completely cross the river, we will have no advantage." ”
Qin Yang said disdainfully: "With the White Horse Army here, even if the Qi army all crosses the river, what is there to fear?" ”
"Today, the Muddy River is their burial place!"
Across the river,
When the last Qi army began to cross the river, Yue Yunfei also boarded a small boat.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Yue Yunfei looked at the Yan army on the other side of the river.
The army of Yan Kingdom, which covered the sky and the sun, was holding a sword, and the armor on his body reflected a terrifying cold light.
Especially the White Horse Army behind Shuai Qi, like a dark cloud pressing down.
Before the charge was launched, the enemy was already given a feeling of suffocation from the top of Mount Tai.
Yue Yunfei exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the elite of Yan Kingdom, but it's a pity that I met me today." ”
.......
"Yue Yunfei, you really came."
"I thought you were quite capable, but when I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be this kind of wine bag and rice bag person."
Qin Yang snorted coldly, then pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed forward.
"White Horse Army, the whole army charges!"
"The left and right armies, outflank from the flanks, and drive all the Qi troops down the Turbid River for me!"
In the military formation,
After receiving Qin Yang's order, the handsome flag began to wave.
That's the signal to attack.
Suddenly
The drums vibrate.
The earth-shattering sound of war drums directly overshadowed the sound of the turbid river.
"White Horse! The whole army will attack and kill all the dogs for Ben! ”
The commander of the White Horse Army roared, and the horses rushed out first.
Behind him,
The White Horse Army was in a roar.
The rumbling sound of iron riding was like thunder.
The whole earth seemed to tremble.
10,000 iron horsemen, turned into an awl-shaped military formation, like a spear that can penetrate everything, roaring towards the Qi army formation.
Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
Ten thousand iron horsemen rushed forward, and when they reached a distance of one hundred paces, Yue Yunfei shouted in a deep voice: "Crossbowman, release the arrow!" ”
The three thousand crossbowmen, who had already been ready, immediately pulled the trigger.
Three thousand Zhuge crossbows, ten thousand arrows fired together!
Arrows rained down, whizzing through the air and pouring down on the armor of the White Horse.
Although there are a small number of people, bad luck.
He was shot in the leg or neck or in the eye.
But the vast majority of the arrows landed on the armor and did not cause any damage.
The entire White Horse Army can be described as fully armed.
All of them are heavy cavalry mounted on armored cavalry.
Just to build such a force, Yan Guo didn't know how much manpower and material resources were spent back then.
Right now
Seeing the arrows of the Qi army, it will not have much impact on your own side.
The commander of the White Horse Army became more and more hideous, brandishing the spear in his hand, and had already begun to imagine the scene of his wanton slaughter of the Qi army.
But as we get closer,
Suddenly, he felt as if the speed of the horse had slowed down.
Looking down,
I saw that the legs of the war horses were already covered with mud.
Every time they run, they get more mud on it, and the horses run more and more hard.
The Commander's face changed suddenly.
He never imagined that the soil here would be so soft.
The country of Yan is located in the bitter cold land of the north.
Rivers are scarce in the territory,
And because of the cold weather, the land will be much harder than in the Central Plains.
Coupled with the plains of the Flat River, it is most suitable for large-scale cavalry charges.
But this time,
He forgot.
The place of the battle was on the banks of the Muddy River.
After the Qi army went ashore,
Just on the bank of the river, the formation was straightened up, waiting for the Yan army to attack.
If it's just an ordinary light trip, it's fine.
But
A heavy cavalry with a full body of human and horse equipment will cost more than 100 pounds in armor alone, not to mention the weight of people and horses.
Such a heavy weight, and now it is a large-scale charge together.
It can well be imagined
What a quagmire you get into on the banks of the river.
Seeing that the enemy army had fallen into the 'trap' he had prepared in advance, Yue Yunfei immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the army to charge.
Crimson military flags, waving in the howling north wind.
"Kill ——!!!"
The Qi army behind him erupted into a shouting and killing sound of a tsunami.
Rush towards the White Horse Army, which is stuck in the quagmire.
When the cavalry, losing speed, loses everything.
What's more,
Those hoplites, once they fall off their horses, basically don't want to stand up.
The dozens of pounds of armor on his body have become the biggest burden.
Distance
Qin Yang, who saw this scene, turned pale.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen to the White Horse Army, which had never been defeated.
Anxious, he hurriedly ordered the other Yan troops to continue the attack.
But this time, it was not so easy to face Zhuge Repeater again.
Whoosh!
Three thousand crossbowmen kept pulling the trigger on the crossbow.
Arrows like locusts fell on the rushing Yan army like a storm.
At this time, Zhuge Repeater showed the advantages of continuous fire to the fullest.
Endless rain of arrows,
wantonly harvesting the soldiers of the Yan army,
Yan Jun is like wheat, harvested one by one.
The wails and screams resounded on the battlefield like ghost howls.
The arrows of the Qi army,
In Yan Jun's opinion, it seemed to be endless, shooting one after another.
Time
Countless corpses of Yan Jun fell to the ground.
The Yan army was defeated.
Morale began to crumble.
No normal person has the courage to charge when he sees such a scene.
Even if Qin Yang had tried his best to gather his troops.
That's those Yan troops whose morale is broken, where can they still be contained.
What's more,
There was also the pursuit of the Qi army behind him.
Yan Guo is known as the world's elite White Horse Army, and now it is still mired in the quagmire, surrounded by three layers of regiments in the Qi army.
The rest of the Yan army was also slaughtered by Zhuge Lian's crossbow, and the army's morale collapsed.
Don't forget
In this foreign war, there is always an invisible aura that hangs over the head of every Qi soldier.
That is the BUFF that Han Lin got after going to the Qinglou and forcibly occupying the Oiran: Aggression is like fire!
In foreign wars, the combat effectiveness of the army is increased by 20%.
Such an aura has a decisive effect in a close battle.
The Yan army was defeated.
Qin Yang was like a lost dog, and fled to Wuyang City with hundreds of personal soldiers.
This is also the closest city to the Turbid River.
After entering the city, Qin Yang, who finally had a sense of security, began to collect the defeated army.
But when it was over, he cried.
10,000 White Horse Army, all annihilated.
None of them came back.
As for the rest of the Yan army, there were less than 6,000 people in total.
Before the expedition, there were 50,000 troops, and now there are 6,000 remnants of the defeated army.
Qin Yang didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment he would receive after he went back.
I dare not imagine,
The Yan army, which suffered two major defeats in a row, faced the attack of the Qi army.
The joys and sorrows between people are not connected.
When Qin Yang wanted to cry without tears on his side, Yue Yunfei on the other side could be said to be in high spirits, and he had even sent someone to send the battle report to Linzi.
The next day,
Above the newspaper, a striking headline appeared.
[The Qi army has a great victory! 】
"General Yue led his army to the Yan Kingdom, fought the Muddy River, killed 27,000 Yan troops, and captured 17,000 people."
"Among them, the elite White Horse Army of Yan State, none of the 10,000 troops in the army were let go, and all of them were killed or captured."
"In this battle, a total of 8,400 war horses, 9,800 pairs of horse armor, 8,400 pairs of armor, and countless other weapons were captured!"
