Chapter 172: The Battle Array Reappeared
Taking a deep breath, Ju Yi tried his best to calm his heart, commanding the battle, the most important thing is to be calm, and impetuousness is often the foreshadowing of defeat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info then Ju Yi issued a series of orders, he divided his more than 10,000 sergeants into three teams, the first team is the sword and shield men, fifty steps in front of the Yuan Qi Division, with shields to build a defensive line; the second team is the crossbowmen, they stand behind the defense line built by the sword and shield men, and the bow and arrow are ready to scatter the Yuan Qi Division; the third team is the cavalry team, temporarily staying at Ju Yi's side, only when Ju Yi thinks that the fighter plane appears, they will launch a charge and chisel through the formation of the Yuan Qi Division.
Seeing the hierarchical distribution of the enemy army, Yuan Qi's heart sank suddenly. Fortunately, a large number of crossbowmen under Yuan Ding and others were on the mountains on both sides of the official road, and they didn't have time to go down the mountain to participate in the battle for a while, otherwise, with Ju Yi's arrangement, he and the others would really only have to be killed.
beckoned to Xu Rong, and Yuan Qi said seriously: "The current situation is critical, and General Xu is bothered to preside over the overall situation and resist the enemy army." Xu Rong didn't expect that just a few days after joining Yuan Qi's command, he was entrusted with such an important task by Yuan Qi at such a critical moment. Xu Rong arched his hand towards Yuan Qi and replied briefly: "Order." ”
Jumping onto a nearby big rock, Xu Rong began to dispatch troops.
"Ordered Ma Yue to take the initiative to attack and involve all the princes' coalition forces into the battle. ”
"Ordered Huang Yong to lead the army to attack the front army of Juyi, and be sure to destroy the enemy's shield array. ”
"Ordered Zuo Ci to wait until the shield array is broken, kill it at all costs, and join forces with General Huang to kill the enemy crossbowmen. ”
"Ordered Zhao Hu to lead a team of elites from the Tiangui camp to break through the encirclement and ask Qi Tian for help. ”
"Xu Chu and Dian Wei will lead a hundred elite guards to protect the lord, and once there is a gap in the enemy army, they will immediately protect the lord from the battlefield. ”
Xu Rong issued a series of orders in an orderly manner. The soldiers under the command of Yuan Qi, under the command of Xu Rong, began to operate rapidly. Zhao Hu broke away from the inner circle of the Fangyuan Array and wandered around with thousands of elites of the Heavenly Return Battalion, looking for flaws in the coalition army. Before the coalition army arrived, he fought bloody battles from a weak point in the encirclement, and chased Qi Tian along the road in the northwest direction.
Ma Yue danced the Moon Spear. Urging Sha Lifei to sit down and lead 5,000 elites to return to the battlefield, rushing around the battlefield, like a tornado, not only successfully contained the attack and harassment tactics of Zhang Yang's subordinates, but also swept away the other princes and coalition forces who rushed to the battlefield, forming a melee.
Huang Yong danced the Remnant Yang Red Blood Knife like a flying dragon outside the sky, and the power of the Silver Dragon Moon Locking Sword Technique was fully displayed, and he led a team of elites from the Heavenly Return Camp to attack the shield array laid by Ju Yi. After Ju Yi saw Xu Rong's arrangement. There was a feeling of annoyance in his heart, the formation he had just laid out was so easily cracked by Xu Rong. The crossbowmen arranged by Ju Yi did not even have time to fire a salvo before they were withdrawn by Ju Yi. Ma Yue had already fought with Zhang Yang and other princes. If Ju Yi continues to give the order to release arrows, it is inevitable that he will hurt his allies.
Seeing that Huang Yong was moving his sword like a dragon, he came straight to the shield array. Ju Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at Huang Yong's department, and shouted angrily: "Crossbowman, release the arrow!" between Ju Yi's shield array and Huang Yong's department. There were no other princes' coalition mixed in, just enough for the crossbowmen to show their might. However, Ju Yi forgot that he had just ordered the crossbowmen to retreat, and now he suddenly asked the crossbowmen to step forward again and shoot at Huang Yong's troops, and there was bound to be a process of adjustment in the middle, although this process was short, but it still delayed the crossbowmen's movements. When the crossbowmen returned to the shield array, just after shooting a rain of arrows, Huang Yong's troops had already killed in front of the shield array, making the crossbowmen fall into an embarrassing situation that they could not use their strength again.
All of this was within Xu Rong's calculations, and Xu Rong deliberately issued orders one by one, just to mobilize the crossbowmen commanded by Ju Yi. First of all, according to the position of the crossbowmen, let Ma Yue lead the army to disrupt the battle situation, resulting in a situation where Ju Yi did not dare to order archery, he estimated that Ju Yi would definitely withdraw the crossbowmen and let the cavalry team in the last row enter the battlefield, so then let Huang Yong lead an army to highlight the battle formation and take the shield array in front of Ju Yi, because Zhang Yang and other princes allied forces were bypassed from both sides, and there was only Ju Yi's men and horses in the middle of the battlefield, so Xu Rong calculated that Ju Yi would retransfer the crossbowmen, and with this buffer, the battle damage of Huang Yong's department could be greatly reduced. Every order of Ju Yi was in Xu Rong's calculations.
After Huang Yong swung his knife to block a round of arrow rain, he had already ridden his horse to the front of Yuan Jun's shield array, and the remnant sun red blood knife in his hand accompanied by Huang Yong's roar, slashed down from mid-air, and the sharp blade with Huang Yong's huge strength easily broke through several round shields, and together with the Yuan Junaber shield hand behind the shield, it was cut into two sections. After breaking through the shield array, Huang Yong instigated to sit down on his war horse and fight forward, and after breaking through the three shield arrays one after another, Huang Yong had already come to the front of Yuan's crossbowmen. Having lost the protection of the infantry and shield arrays, the crossbowmen who lacked melee combat ability were like a herd of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, looking at Huang Yong's fierce tiger in horror.
Huang Yong roared again, and swung his sword into the group of crossbowmen, which was not far behind the tiger entering the flock. When Huang Yong was wreaking havoc in the Yuan army's crossbowman array, Huang Yong's Tiangui battalion elite had also rushed to the front of the Yuan army's shield array, and several Tiangui battalion elites formed a small battle formation, echoing each other, along the gap broken by Huang Yong, and rushed horizontally to kill, expanding the gap in the shield array again. Every time the gap in the shield array expands by one point, an elite of the Heavenly Return Camp will rush forward and block the gap to prevent the gap in the shield array from being bridged.
After all, the gap is just a gap, and it can only accommodate a small number of Tiangui elites to rush and kill in the gap. Most of the Tiangui elites who came with Huang Yong could only adopt a hard-hitting style, flattened the seven-foot-long horse-chopping knife in their hands, held their hands together on the three-foot-long hilt, used the horse-chopping knife as a spear, aimed at the middle of Yuan Jun's wooden shield, and stabbed it fiercely.
The wooden shield in Yuan Jun's hand, in a burst of shattering sounds, was pierced by the heavy horse chopping knife, and the narrow blade of the horse chopping knife stabbed into Yuan Jun's body holding the shield. Bright red blood spurted out along the deep wound, rendering the blade of the horse chopping knife a striking one.
Although Yuan Ding was reluctant to use a large amount of iron to make shields for the soldiers, he also knew that in battle, the quality of weapons and equipment would play a crucial role in the outcome of the war. Therefore, the shields in Yuan Jun's hands were made of solid wood, although they were pierced by the sharp and heavy horse chopping knife, but they successfully stuck the horse chopping knife on the shield, so that the elites of the Tiangui Camp could not draw the horse chopping knife in a short time to swing it again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the horse chopping knife was stuck in the shield, the Yuan saber shield bearers discarded the wooden shield in their hands one after another, drew their war knives and slashed at the elite of the Tiangui Camp.
Screams continued to resound in the two armies, and the Yuan saber and shield men who were standing in the front row were cut down to the ground in pieces, and the blood that flowed from their lifeless bodies stained the ground near them red.
Seeing that the elites of the Tiangui Camp were all one as ten, and they were very brave, Ju Yi beckoned behind him, and at the same time said in a cold voice: "Cavalry, attack!" Thousands of cavalrymen who had been waiting behind Ju Yi for a long time raised their swords and guns, stepped vigorously on the belly of the horse that sat down on the war horse, and rushed towards Huang Yong's department with a shout.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy wants to move, I will move first. Xu Rong has mastered the essence of the art of war. When he saw Ju Yi ordering the dispatch of cavalry in the midst of the chaos, he shouted to Zuo Ci across half of the battlefield: "General Zuo Ci, rush up!" Zuo Ci had already led a team of elite soldiers to the center of the battlefield, and was fighting with Yuan's remnants on the left side of Ju Yi's department. After hearing Xu Rong's shout, he looked up, and after seeing the movement of the cavalry behind Ju Yi, Zuo Cihu roared, led the elite of the earth around him to fight to split the opponent in front of him, and then turned around and intercepted the cavalry sent by Ju Yi. The original task of the elite led by Zuo Ci was to intercept and kill the cavalry of the Yuan army and annihilate the crossbowmen of the Yuan army, so in the previous battle, Zuo Ci deliberately led his subordinates to the elite to fight while approaching the Ju Yi department without a trace, and when he received Xu Rong's order, Zuo Ci's department happened to be in the rear of the Yuan cavalry, and could easily launch a lateral attack on the Yuan cavalry.
