Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1419
Looking from the Shahe River, the wilderness is flat and wide, and there is no terrain to rely on.

In the past period of time, the main force of the Central Route Army led by Xie Aisuo also faced the problem of the right-wing Yanzhou Army, that is, the serious shortage of mobility, and the cavalry forces including the Fenwu Army needed to roam and kill in the rear and shelter the logistics transportation route. .

The opponents faced by the main force of the Central Route Army are much stronger than Shangbai's Jie Army. Although the military power of the Jie Army in Liuzhen Xiangguo has been divided, Ma Qiu has at least [-] cavalry troops in his hands. .When the forwards of the Central Route Army arrived at Shahe, there were more than [-] soldiers. It took several fierce battles to establish a firm foothold in Shahe.

But even so, Xie Ai still did not lead his troops back to the Shahe camp, but arranged in an orderly and calm manner, making the best use of the soldiers under his command, and calmly laid them out in the plains in the south of Xiangguo.

Although the terrain in the south of Xiangguo is dominated by plains, it is not completely unchanged. Forests, ravines, swamps and other terrains are all available. Based on these existing geographical conditions, in the past period of time, Xie Ai directed various roads. The large number of soldiers, the strength of the soldiers, the formation of mounds, the deep digging of ditches, and the establishment of more camps made the southern suburbs of Xiangguo, which had not changed much, treacherous and difficult. Even the rangers of Xiangguo did not dare to wander out of the city at will.

In the battle between infantry and cavalry, the cavalry has an absolute advantage. With mobile clutches, they can come and go at will, first of all, they are already in an invincible position.In the plain field battle, if there is no strong fortress and city to rely on, the infantry can be said to be a crowd waiting to be slaughtered, or they can protect themselves with their excellent equipment, but their counterattack power is really lacking.

But the magic of war lies in adapting measures to local conditions and making the best use of the situation. The mystery of the art of war, Xie Ai has demonstrated vividly in the world of Shahe and Xiangguo.

As the rear roads were determined, the Shahe camp also gradually increased its troops, especially with the cavalry led by Xie Yi filling the right formation, the entire Shahe camp had reached [-] troops. There are more than [-] strong men.

With such a huge military force, Xie Ai did not focus solely on the Chinese army, but sent out layer by layer, forming a camp with a width of more than ten miles with the Shahe Camp where his Chinese army tent is located.With the increase in the proportion of cavalry, this range continues to expand, and now the front line has been pushed to the countryside a dozen miles away from the city of Xiangguo.

The large camp of the Chinese army is located on a small mound, and Xie Ai ordered the soldiers to pile up the mound and build a battle fort, so that the soldiers everywhere in the camp can see the flag of the Chinese army when they turn their heads. Make it change.

The soldiers capable of fighting in the army were divided into ten armies. Except for the two rangers to support the armies, the remaining eight armies each formed a large battalion, and a large battalion was divided into eight small battalions. The 64 battalions were scattered and divided. Set up, like the opening and closing of stars.The internal and external levels of the battalions are distinct, with different locations and terrains, and equipped with different weapons and equipment.The distance between the battalions varies from large to small, the wide ones are nearly several miles away, and the narrow ones are set up in a row.

The whole camp is full of changes, even if it is knowledgeable, it is difficult to deduce the overall situation, so that after several months of fighting, the Jie army in Xiangguo didn't even know that the formation set up by the Jin army was the famous ancient eight formations.

The name of the eight formations has existed since ancient times. It can even be traced back to the eight formations of Fenghou, a general under the command of the Yellow Emperor, and later there were the eight formations of the pre-Qin Rangju, the eight formations of the Han Dynasty, and so on.The ancient methods of the pre-Qin period cannot be pursued today, and the eight formations of the Han Dynasty were the powerful battle formations used to attack the Huns in the north during the Han Dynasty.

The eight formations mentioned in this world are mainly the eight formations of Marquis Wu set up by Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms. In the old years of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Xuan Sima Yi fought Zhuge Wuhou. Wizards too.As far as China and North Korea, there are also many military strategists who have studied the eight formations of Marquis Wu and added changes in equipment to make the formations stronger.

Although the name of the eight formations is illustrious, there are very few among the masters who can master it.On the one hand, there are many maps, and most of the old Chinese and Korean books have disappeared so far, so it is difficult to get the whole picture from some missing classics.The two changes are complicated. Unless the military discipline is strict and well-trained, the elite cannot form an army. Otherwise, the Chinese army's changing flag order alone is enough to make it impossible for the battalions to accept and implement it, and they will mess up their positions without waiting for the enemy to attack. .

Xie Ai didn't know the real ancient eight formations, including the modern Wuhou eight formations. Although he also deduced some eight formation diagrams from some incomplete ancient books, most of them had to be combined with his own military strategy to make them again. Deduction to create.

Guarding Fangtou for many years, General Xingtai gave him full trust. Apart from defending Jie army, Xie Ai has also been training Fangtou army to practice eight formations, which has been very effective so far.

After entering Shahe in the north, although there were troops from all walks of life who joined the army, the main body was the well-trained Fangtou army.Although the Eight Formation Banner Order has hundreds of changes, these soldiers have also undergone several years of training, especially those soldiers who served as commanders in the battalion. They may not be as heroic as their fellow soldiers, but for The identification and execution of flag orders has become a deep-rooted instinct.

With the unpredictable eight formations and well-trained soldiers, it can be said that they have been sharpening their swords for several years, and they will use their lives once.Although the Wang division is at an obvious disadvantage compared to the Jie army in terms of the combination of arms, and even has no way to rely on the terrain, the middle route army is still going up against the current, and under the fierce suppression of the Jie country's elite cavalry, it is getting closer to the Xiang army. country.

The Northern Expedition to the Jie Kingdom is a major event for the country, and it is difficult for all armored people in the world to stand sideways.Longyou's strong army passed through Guanzhong eastward and joined the Bingzhou battlefield.And the Jingzhou Army, which was the No. [-] army in Jiangdong in the past, naturally needed to send representatives to participate in the battle. No matter what the record was, this was a basic expression of attitude.

The Jingzhou Army dispatched three groups totaling [-] troops. One was led by Li Guo, the son of Li Yang, the prefect of Jingling, and he was currently following Han Huang in Hanoi to fight on the side of Taihang Mountain. The other two were led by Deng Yi, the younger brother of Deng Yue, the prefect of Wuchang, and Yuzhang. Zhou Chu, the son of Zhou Fu, the prefect, was under the command of Xie Ai, the governor of the Chinese army.

In the old days of Jiangdong, Jingzhou had its own importance in dividing Shaanxi. In addition to having the power to determine the domestic situation, it also had the power to dominate the three major enemy countries with the power of one state for a certain period of time.

It was only after the great general returned to the country and established a platform in Heluo that the prestige of the Jingzhou army gradually declined.Especially after Huanxuan of Xiangyang joined the Western Expedition to the Guanzhong War, Jingzhou has been reduced from the original sub-Shaanxi town to only be responsible for the combat power of Chenghan in the middle of Shu.

Therefore, for this Northern Expedition to the Jie Kingdom, all the generals in Jingzhou also felt sullen, and dispatched elite soldiers under their command, hoping to perform well in the general's personal conquest and rebuild Jingzhou's military prestige.After going north to join the army, he took the initiative to ask to go to the most dangerous front line and take charge of the most difficult battles, and even fought with eyes open, full of heroism.

Right now, a battle is going on outside a large camp at the forefront of the Wangshi formation.

The battalion leader of this battalion is Deng Yi, the younger brother of Jingzhou brave general Deng Yue. Deng Yue was famous in Jingzhou for being the champion of the three armies. Although he is getting older now, he still always rushes into battle and is brave enough to die.

Compared with his elder brother Deng Yue, Deng Yi seemed a little ordinary, and he himself lacked much fame in battle, with a thin body and no brave posture.However, since the Jingzhou army is different from the various kings directly under the Xingtai, the northward advancers are mainly Deng's trilogy, because there is only Deng Yidian army.

The battlefield ahead is a flat field. As the back road stabilizes, many war horses are gradually added to each battalion. Today's battle is a battalion of royal knights.The Jie army's barracks was set up on the flat ground outside the city of Xiangguo, dozens of miles away, and about [-] cavalrymen attacked to fight Wang Shiyou.

In the current cold winter season, the weeds on the battlefield were either trampled or harvested and burned. However, as the cavalry rushed to and fro, there was still a large cloud of smoke and dust covering the battlefield, which limited the field of vision to a certain extent.

Although I couldn't see the specific scene of the fight, the sound of the fight was so loud that it made people's blood rush.

Deng Yi led nearly a thousand soldiers from the third battalion to watch the battle, with a dignified expression.Behind him, there are antler chariots spread out on both wings to the left and right, and the soldiers are holding bows and crossbows, staring at the front with serious expressions.

Amidst the chaotic fighting sound, there was a loud scream, and soon there was cheers and shouts from the battle formation: "The thief general is dead, the thief general is dead!"

Deng Yi's front line was still miles away from the battlefield. Hearing the vague shout from the cold wind, his heartstrings tensed immediately. He hesitated for a moment before he waved his arm, and dozens of knights rushed out from behind. , rushed straight to the direction of the battlefield.

Although each battalion has added some war horses, the number is still limited. After sending out these rangers, there are no war horses left in the battalion.If it hadn't been for the unusualness of killing that general on the battlefield, Deng Yi would not have dispatched all the cavalry.

After a while, the dust on the battlefield gradually settled, and the result became clear. Many cavalry rushed towards the camp of the Jie army in the north.

Seeing that his side had won, Deng Yi also showed a relaxed expression on his face, but saw that his knights were still relentlessly chasing and killing the defeated Jie army, the distance from the opposite camp was gradually approaching, and there were faint troops in the enemy camp Deng Yi frowned again at the sign of assembly, and raised his hand to signal Ming Jin to withdraw.

The sound of Jin Ge was clear and melodious. Although the knights who were chasing the Jie army heard the military order, they felt a little unwilling, but they reined in their horses and turned back to their own lines.

"The young master is the champion of heroic martial arts, and he will kill the generals!"

After approaching their own front, the knights were still very excited, surrounded one of the generals, laughed and cheered.And the general in the middle also picked up the head of a bloody Jie general with a big lance, and fled away early on the way to escape, revealing a high-spirited but childish face, clearly just a boy.

"The last general led his troops into battle, fortunately he did not disgrace his life!"

The young man galloped forward, and jumped off the horse nimbly without slowing down, showing superb riding skills. He hung the lance on the saddle with his hand, walked forward and offered the head of the Capricorn general with both hands, but in When he got close to Deng Yi's horse, the joy on his face faded slightly, revealing some traces of displeasure: "I'm waiting to threaten the victory to shake the camp, why does uncle need to ask for money to withdraw?"

Hearing this, Deng Yi raised his eyes and glared at the young man, stepped forward to pat the young man on the shoulder, and the blood-condensed ice layer on the armor peeled off: "It's gratifying for you to dare to fight, but you should not underestimate the fierceness of the soldiers. Extreme joy breeds sorrow." .”

While speaking, he saw smoke and dust rising from the enemy's formation, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the battalion and rushed to the battlefield, obviously unwilling to be reconciled to the previous defeat and wanting to redeem the shame of being beheaded.If the royal master and cavalry had not retreated before, it would not be easy to leave the battlefield now.

The young man's face changed, and he threw the head of the scorpion on the ground and stepped on it with his legs. He still had the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers: "If soldiers are not fierce, how can they achieve great achievements? Since you are in battle, you don't care about life and death, but If you want to kill me, hey, you have to spend enough lives to blunt my blade!"

　I'm a little stuck, sorry, I'm sorry, I will definitely make it up when I am in good condition. . .
