Chapter 419: Breaking the Formation

Zhu Youwen was able to be sent by Zhu Wen to Zhaoyi to take charge of the party, naturally it was not in vain. This man does have his own set of proven things on top of military strategy.

Liu Ruyan originally expected to use the speed of the cavalry under her command to kick and smash the opponent's camp in one fell swoop, crush the opponent's morale, and successfully capture Le'an, but on top of the facts, she did kick the two large battalions on the left and right, but the enemy on the opposite side did not collapse.

One of the most important reasons for this is that from the beginning of the war, after Zhu Youwen discovered her intentions, he immediately led his three thousand cavalry out of the city and desperately pursued Liu Ruyan, which made Liu Ruyan unable to effectively expand the results of the battle, and could only get rid of the opponent and leave the battlefield after killing two in and two out of the battalion.

Although the first battle was won and it seemed that it had won a big victory, people with rich combat experience, including Gongsun Changming, knew very well that this victory did not have a big impact on the outcome of the entire battle.

The main forces of the enemy are still there, and the morale is still there.

Zhu Youwen leaned against the city wall and put on a defensive formation. Since the camp is broken, Zhu Youwen simply doesn't want it. The two Wei Bo thousand-man teams, one on the left and one on the right, formed the most front defensive formation, with heavy shields and large guns, forming an extremely solid defensive body. After that, there will be three phalanxes, and in turn, each layer of defense will have a phalanx.

The entire defensive formation resembles a clamped Yanling array, and in the middle is the three thousand main cavalry led by Zhu Youwen.

This formation caused great trouble for the attackers. Frontal hard fighting, cavalry in the face of this kind of rigorous structure, heavy shields, big guns, bows and crossbows in the back of the defensive lineup, the effect will not be too obvious. As for attacking the flank, there is not much exposed on the opponent's flank, and even if it is exposed, it can be strongly supported by the part that is elongated in the rear. And Zhu Youwen, who was in the middle, could lead his 3,000 main cavalry to penetrate from any place at any time and make a roundabout flank attack on the attacker.

These Shence troops to which Li Hai belonged were placed in the middle of the defensive formation, and the left and right were either Dr. Wei or Xuanwu soldiers, which was why Zhu Youwen was extremely uneasy about their combat effectiveness, so he sandwiched them in the middle, lest they collapse and impact the formation once they were attacked fiercely.

Placing them in the middle makes them less likely to be attacked, but at the same time they can use their bows and crossbows to provide strong support to the Wei Boxuan warriors in front.

From this point of view, Zhu Youwen is worthy of the talent of a general, he did not get angry with these surrendered troops because the two large battalions led to the previous rout of the Shence Army were broken, in the eyes of the Shence Army, the other party gave them good care, this kind of work that only cares about archery without hand-to-hand combat, for these people, it is the best place now.

"Mr. Gongsun, how do you fight?" Looking at Chen Bing Chu Sheng on the battlefield, although he tried his best, but still made no progress, the casualties were expanding little by little, Liu Ruyan was at a loss, although she was a woman, she was brave and won the three armies, but this kind of thing of commanding the army to fight, where had she experienced it before? In her mind, fighting a war is naturally a matter of killing the generals and capturing the flag first. But now that he has encountered such a hedgehog, for a while, he has no choice but to look at Gongsun Changming.

"The strategy of attacking the two flanks will have no effect on the formation in front of us, unless we use more men and more footmen." Gongsun Changming's face was solemn: "If you want to break the opponent quickly, the only way is to go straight to the toughest place of the opponent." ”

"Fight the first two military formations?" Slaughtering the tiger and slaughtering the gods.

"Yes!" Gongsun Changming said: "Zhu Youwen's formation is a typical iron-shelled egg heart. If you smash the iron shell on the outside, you will be vulnerable on the inside. It's just that if we want to destroy this iron shell, we will have to pay a huge price. ”

After a pause, he said slowly, "We need an indomitable warrior to smash this iron shell out of the cracks with their lives. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan didn't say a word, hugged his helmet, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Gongsun Changming: "Madam, you are the commander of the first army, how can you reason to charge into battle?" ”

"I'll go!" Tu Hu lifted the long knife stuck in his side.

Tu Hu didn't take two steps, but a black-armored general also held Tu Hu down, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Charging into battle, naturally it is a matter for us generals, madam, Second Master Tu, of course, this matter is done by the people of our secret camp." ”

"Jiao Er......" Tu Hu looked at the other party and shouted, but did not continue.

"Everyone in the secret camp, who is not deeply favored by the son, and it is our duty to die today. Second Master Tu, I still remember when you bought me out of that beggar gang, they were about to break my hands and feet and make me crawl into the street to beg for them. It was you who took me to the secret camp, for more than ten years, I have eaten enough, slept sweetly, cultivated a good strength, learned the skills of this body, and at this moment, it is the time to repay the kindness of these ten years. Jiao Er smiled: "I don't have a flexible brain like Jiao Yi, I only have the strength to do it." ”

"Nine times out of ten, there is no return!" Gongsun Changming said on the side.

"I am lucky to live, and I am destined to die." Jiao Er raised his head and said: "I will almost die in more than ten years, and I will live for more than ten years, which is enough." ”

He turned around, looked at the black-armored cavalry behind everyone, and roared angrily: "Secret camp soldiers, come out!" ”

With Jiao Er's roar, nearly two hundred black-armored cavalry came out.

"Blindfold the horse!" Jiao Er tore off a piece of his battle robe and tied it to the eyes of the war horse. Unable to see things, the war horse couldn't help but snort a little anxiously and gouge its hooves.

Two hundred black-armored knights turned on their horses in unison.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, turned over on his horse, and said, "You go first, and I will follow." Mr. Gongsun, the task of mobilizing the entire army is entrusted to you. ”

Tu Hu also turned over the war horse silently at this time, and followed Liu Ruyan's side closely.

Gongsun Changming looked back at the not far behind him, the curtains of several carriages were opened, and the concerned faces were looking at where they were.

There is the emperor's face that is now full of sickness, there is the queen's anxious and frightened face, there is the prince's ignorant and ignorant face, and there is the concerned and nervous face of Madame Wang.

"Attack!" Jiao Er shouted loudly, and more than 200 cavalry roared, driving the war horses and running towards the front.

First he trotted, then accelerated, faster and faster, and rushed straight to the opposite large array of shields and spears.

More than a hundred steps behind them, Liu Ruyan and Tu Hu led the rest of the black-armored knights to follow closely.

The arrows rained down on the warriors like locusts in the air, making a clanging sound, and the knights bowed their bodies, desperately beating their horses, forcing their horses to speed up without stopping.

No matter how well-trained the horses are, they are also creatures, and they will also be afraid of the bright swords and guns, and when they encounter obstacles, they will naturally choose to dodge and retreat. But now, more than two hundred people have covered the eyes of the war horse.

The horses could not see the threat ahead, and they could only trust the knights who lived with them day and night on their backs.

When they were still more than ten steps away from the great array, the war horses rose into the air and flew straight towards the sea of death in front of them.

Dr. Wei's soldiers finally couldn't help but stir. Even horses and people with armor will exceed 2,000 catties, and such a behemoth will fall down like this, how can this be stopped by manpower.

Countless spears were raised in an instant, and the dismounting of the war horse constituted a forest of guns, the sound of porphyry was endless, and the soft lower abdomen of the war horse did not know how many spears were inserted for a while, but this huge falling momentum was not something that the soldiers could bear, the gun was broken, the arm was broken, and the horse was smashed down with the knight, and within a few meters of Fang Yuan, it was immediately swept away.

Some of the knights were stabbed to death by countless spears while they were still on the horse, and some survived, and the moment they landed, they immediately roared and waved the horizontal knives in their hands, slashing indiscriminately.

Don't worry about hurting your allies. Anyway, there are enemies on the left and right, and if you hack one to death, you will make a lot of money.

Jiaoer's horse is the strongest, so it flies the farthest. His luck was good, the horse was shot dozens of times, and when the horse was stabbed, he kicked the horse with both feet, which made him jump again, and he was in the air, and the huge chopping knife in his hand also roared and chopped down.

When he fell again, the people around him had been emptied of his horses. He landed on the still twitching corpse of the horse, brandishing the saber in his hand, and spun in circles like a windmill.

The spear of Dr. Wei's pawn who pounced was cut off, followed by the head was also cut off, and Jiao Er's eyes were full of flying stumps and broken arms.

He took a step forward, and one step forward.

A crossbow bolt flew and nailed straight to his thigh, and as soon as his leg went limp, he was half-kneeling on the ground, but he still wielded the saber in his hand desperately.

Several shots poked, piercing his armor from behind, Jiao Er fell to the ground, his hand slammed on the ground, abandoned the horse chopping knife, and picked up a horizontal knife of Dr. Wei's pawn from the ground, his body slammed forward, waved the horizontal knife, and cut off several spears in front of him, roared and rushed into the crowd, killing several people again.

More than a dozen spears poked from different directions, stabbed into Jiao Er's body, and lifted him high, people were in the air, but Jiao Er roared wildly and threw the horizontal knife in his hand violently, and a Wei doctor in front of him screamed miserably, and was broken through the chest by the horizontal knife.

At this moment, Dr. Wei was really frightened, more than a dozen spears were drawn in unison, and Jiao Er fell to the ground with a snap, twisted a few times, and stared at the sky above his head with wide eyes.

The last rays of the slanting sun shone right over him.
