The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 55

And when Yang Tong led the army to gallop across the Khitan mainland, Li Jing and Deng Hao joined forces, crossed the White Wolf River, and fought a decisive battle with the Khitan elite on the north bank, fifty miles away in the southern suburbs of Liucheng.

Li Jing and Deng Hao together have 5 people, while Luo Yi and Khitan people are only about [-].

It's just that the Sui army is full of infantry, while the enemy's entire army is cavalry.

But Li Jing's [-] troops in the main battle put out a very powerful formation. This formation called Liuhua was a formation that Li Jing deduced on the basis of Zhuge Kongming's eight formations.Li Jing lived in Mayi for many years. Seeing that the Turkic cavalry was invincible, he often thought about the battle formation of using infantry to overcome cavalry. This six-flower formation was deduced at that time.

After taking over the army, Li Jing used this formation to train troops. There are small formations in the large formation, and the formations are chained together, which is extremely powerful.

"What a six-flower formation?" Deng Hao, who was watching the battle from the command tower, looked at the Sui army in the battlefield and was full of praise.

He is also a master of the art of war. After watching it for a while, he can see the extraordinary features of the Six Flower Formation.

The six-flower formation is divided into five formations: square formation, circular formation, curved formation, straight formation and sharp formation. Each of the five formations has several changes, and there are dozens of changes in total. Even Deng Hao cannot comprehend it in a short period of time. , the commander arranges different formations according to different enemy situations, terrain offense and defense, etc.

In the Liuhua formation, the Chinese army is in the center, and the front army of the right wing, the right army of the right wing, the Houyu army of the right, the Houyu army of the left, the left army of the left wing, and the rear army of the left wing are outside. Large camps enclose small camps, each camp is connected, and different arms cooperate with each other, which seems extremely complicated and mysterious.

"It's a mystery. The Han people are like this. Our cavalry can kill all of these people with a single charge." A Khitan chief looked at the slowly moving formation and said disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate the Han people."

Duo Ke, the Khitan chief who didn't know the great changes in the rear, reminded.In this case, Li Jing not only fought against the horse, but also took the initiative to attack.Either he was forced to, or he was absolutely sure.

"General Luo, what are they doing?" Doko looked at more and more soldiers. In addition to holding various weapons, these soldiers also had many flags. These colorful flags looked very strange, and the soldiers gathered The orientation is different, and they are not gathered together.Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the army?
"This is the battle formation of the Central Plains army." Luo Yi's eyes flashed with complex colors. The history of the Central Plains war has a long history. From ancient times to the present, military strategists have written many strategies of war, invented various formations, and used the least number of troops. Play the most powerful combat power.Of course, not all generals can lay out formations, and not all generals can exert the greatest power of formations. Some formations only have shape but no spirit.I don't know what Li Jing's formation will look like.

"Haha, this Li Jing must be afraid of death." When all the [-] troops appeared, Doko suddenly burst out laughing. He pointed to the large formation in the distance and said, "Look, under his banner, there are about There are tens of thousands of troops, but there are only a few thousand squares outside the army, isn't this fear of death?"

Not only Doko thinks this way, but everyone else does too. The Liuhua formation in front of you has six infantry phalanxes composed of 3000 people outside, just like flower petals. In the middle of the army, there are more than 1 people around the big banner. The circular phalanx of people, mostly composed of cavalry, guarding the banner of the Chinese army, weak on the outside and strong on the inside, is like a stamen, which is incomprehensible.

Although there were a lot of three thousand elites, they couldn't stand a charge among tens of thousands of cavalry, but Luo Yi just quietly looked at the square formation in front of him, he had never seen such a simple-looking formation.

According to the practice of ordinary people, either the soldiers and horses are divided equally, or the army is gathered to keep the enemy out of the big formation, but this weird battle formation is doing the opposite.

"Send a team of [-] people to attack." Doko thought for a while and made a decision.

"Chief, I'll go." It was a chief who spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he led [-] cavalry to kill the Liuhua formation in front.

Thousands of cavalry made the ground tremble, aggressive and extremely powerful.

The one in front was Pei Xingyan. He looked at the Khitan soldiers who were roaring towards him, without any look of horror on his face, but said to the soldiers: "It's just [-] rabbits rushing over, wait for the shields to come together, you guys The thing to do is to stab, and just stab straight along the gap. When I shout to get out of the way, I will give way."

"Yes."

Pei Xingyan's voice resounded among the three armies.

"Hold up the shield!" Pei Xingyan yelled, and in an instant, the soldiers in the first row raised a large shield. The shield was about the height of a person. Several soldiers leaned behind the shield to resist the horses that were about to charge. The horses had a strong impact. Only a few people working together can barely resist.

"Stab." Pei Xingyan roared, and in an instant, hundreds of spears were stabbed out from the gaps in the shield, and in an instant, there was a scream of war horses, and bloody rays rushed out, covering the ground in an instant .The Khitan's offensive was blocked instantly.

Of course, in the middle of the six petals, there are still many cavalry rushing in along the gap.

"Attack."

Li Jing of the Chinese army gave an order to attack in an instant, and Su Dingfang led the cavalry to rush out, immediately blocking the gap in the middle of the formation, and around, there were still some infantrymen who stabbed out with their spears, giving the Khitan people who rushed in Causes massive damage.

"Quick, rush out." The chief realized that something was wrong, and the [-] troops rushed in together, but some of them were blocked by the shield formation, and some rushed in, but they were divided into several gaps, and the army could not form after entering The combat power was quickly divided into several parts, but the enemy attacked together. A soldier had to face two or three or more people attacking, and was quickly hacked and killed by the opponent. Without thinking, he looked for Opened a gap and rushed out.

"Where to go!" Li Jing saw it clearly, opened his bow and set his arrow, and let out a sharp roar, seeing the chief get off his horse and quickly disappear among the chaos.

"What a Li Jing."

The battle ended quickly. The [-] soldiers who explored the road were wiped out in less than an hour. Only about a thousand people escaped, and the rest were trapped in a large formation and were wiped out.

Doko heard the escaped soldiers tell about the situation in the big formation, and couldn't help but said: "Although the Han people are cowardly, they are insidious and cunning. In the big formation, they can defeat our warriors with an absolute advantage."

The soldiers who escaped were surrounded by enemy weapons in all directions, and they died without seeing anyone.Duo Ke knew that the enemy used the formation to distribute troops reasonably, so as to achieve the goal of hitting more with less.

"Then send out all the soldiers and horses to deal with Li Jing. I don't believe that Li Jing can't be defeated." Doko shouted
Luo Yi said: "They have divided into six small formations. As long as we attack together, they will not be able to look after each other. Even if we are in the formation, we can still use the advantages of the cavalry to defeat the strength of the six small formations, and then attack together. Chinese Army."

Doko said: "That's it."

The whole army was divided into six, and at the same time, they killed the six petals of the Six Flower Formation.

"Learn to be smart, but I'm afraid it's not enough to break the six-flower formation just like that." Li Jing looked at the roaring army with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Under Li Jing's command, the six petals turned instantly, and one after another the chariots roared out suddenly, blocking the successive enemy soldiers in an instant.The cavalry were forced not to lift their horses and divert.But the whole army marched fast, and as soon as the soldiers in front stopped, they were bumped forward by those who came behind.

In an instant, people crowded people, horses crowded horses, unable to move, and were stabbed to death by guns that shot out from the gaps in the shield.

"What's going on?" Doko was attacking, when he suddenly found the soldiers in front of him in chaos.

"It's a chariot," said one loudly.

But is this a chariot?
In fact, they are all temporarily assembled grain carts, carriages, and three forks.

It's just that these gadgets show strong combat power.At the very least, it offset the speed and impact advantages of the cavalry, and it also dispersed the army, and was annihilated by the enemies inside with absolute advantage.

Seeing that all the enemies had entered the formation, Li Jing, who had waited for a long time, gave the order to attack, only to see six petals split to the sides.

The enemy's offensive is a little faster

Duo Ke rejoiced and said: "The enemy army can't hold on anymore, kill me in."

What appeared in front of the Khitan cavalry at this time was a Mo Dao hand in heavy armor. The body of Mo Dao was shining in the sun, and it was one of the magic weapons against the cavalry.

With the appearance of this army, all the Khitan cavalry were killed, their horses hissing miserably.

All of this was within Li Jing's expectations.

Is the impact of cavalry terrible?

very scary.

Under normal circumstances, can the Modao hand array stop the cavalry?
I can't stop it!

But the six-flower array is interlocking, and the arms cooperate with each other to learn from each other's strengths!
All kinds of patchwork 'cars' have offset the strongest charge of the cavalry, and the bows and arrows have messed up the assault formation, and the formation has dispersed the enemy's strength. Trained swordsmen.

Is the cavalry without impact still an opponent of Mo Dao Shou?
Modao hands at the forefront announced the results with practical actions.

Mo Dao drew an arc in the air, and there was a loud "bang...", the sword came into close contact with the knight on the horse. The invincible force directly pressed the knight's body, and the blade sliced ​​open his stomach. That force did not weaken at all because of this, and continued to chop on the horse's back.

People and horses are broken.

Although wave after wave of Khitan cavalry attacked like raging waves, Mo Dao Shou was like a rock on the seashore, allowing the enemy cavalry to attack, but they stood tall, the initial panic has disappeared, Mo Dao Shou is getting more and more Calm down, and start to launch an active attack, advancing forward like a wall and a mountain. Every step forward, hundreds of Khitan cavalry will be strangled by the knife.

Luo Yi was stunned by the situation in front of him. The soldiers were beheaded in an instant like this. There was no wave, and it was extremely easy. There was no time to make adjustments, and they died under the opponent's sword.

"Advance like a wall, people and horses will be smashed!" Seeing the strength of Mo Dao's hand, Li Jing couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Yang Tong kept saying that Mo Dao was a powerful weapon against cavalry, and even used royal power to interfere with Li Jing's military training.

Li Jing was a little uncomfortable at first, but at this moment, after witnessing the power of Mo Dao Shou, he realized how wise Yang Tong was.

There are Mo Daomen advancing layer by layer in front, spearmen stabbing on both sides, and Wanderers outside to clear the fish that slipped through the net.

The big picture is set.

Looking at Luo Yi who was desperately rushing out to kill, Li Jing pointed at the flag, and Pei Xingyan, who had long been unable to hold back, rode his horse out of the formation. During a sprint, Ma Qian charged towards Luo Yi with an invincible force.

"So strong!"

Such a terrifying blow made Luo Yi's complexion pale. Although Leng hadn't arrived, the terrifying aura seemed to imprison him, and the gap between a peerless general and a first-class general was immediately revealed.

When Luo Yi exhausted all his strength to block it, he found that it was empty.

Pei Xingyan hated this kind of treason the most, he was merciless in his actions, and the mighty, powerful and powerful one came from bottom to top.

The strong wind was howling, Luo Yi's mind went blank, he didn't have time to think about how to deal with it, he could only rely on his feeling to resist it!
With a muffled "poof", the silver lance blade drove straight in, piercing Luo Yi's heart.

After the one-sided massacre ended, Li Jing and Deng Hao took back Liucheng (Yingzhou City) without any effort, Li Jing sent his troops eastward, Deng Hao left [-] elite guards to defend the city, and personally led more than [-] people into the Khitan mainland , responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
