After a while, after the army was quiet, Gongsun Yan spoke:

"Generals, or do you think that now we have a blockade in front of us, and then we are chasing after us, and we are running out of food and grass, and it is already a dead end."

"But Ben will tell you that we are not out of here, and that there is hope."

"Our hope is in the front, to the east of the 70,000 Qin troops in front, where there are 400,000 Qi-Zhao coalition troops, and they are storming the 70,000 Qin troops in front of us, but the Qin army is stubbornly guarding the ferry, and our allies are unable to cross the river for the time being."

"And we now have 35,000 troops, so as long as we can rush forward and open a gap for our allies, then we will have 400,000 more allied troops, and we will also be able to get food and grass from the allies, and we will be sheltered by the allies."

"So today's battle is not only to take the allies across the river, but also to fight a bloody way for ourselves, so that we can survive smoothly."

As he spoke, Gongsun Yan suddenly pointed his sword to the east and shouted: "Soldiers, the Qin army in front is now blocking our only way to live, what do you say we should do now?" ”

The soldiers in front of Gongsun Yan immediately responded and shouted murderously: "Kill..."

After a while, all the officers and men of the army let out a shout, and the momentum was like a rainbow for a while.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand to quiet the whole army.

There was silence for a moment, and Gongsun Yan was about to speak, when suddenly, a scout arrived at the right time, came to the front of the formation, and reported loudly in a loud voice:

"Report to the general, report the river battle, the allied forces are attacking the Qin army with all their might, and now among the 70,000 Qin troops, there are already more than 40,000 Qin troops fighting fiercely with the allied forces, and now only more than 20,000 Qin troops are intercepting us."

"Hahaha······" Gongsun Yan laughed when he heard this: "God really helps me!" ”

After laughing, Gongsun Yan announced to the soldiers: "Soldiers, now there are only more than 20,000 Qin troops left to intercept us, as long as we break through the blockade of the 20,000 Qin troops in front, then we can take the allied army across the river, and then not only can we go back alive, but we can also become a hero to save the Yiqu country and get a heavy reward from the king of Yiqu." ”

When the soldiers in front heard the scout's report, they were immediately overjoyed.

Not long after, there was another sound of killing in the camp.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan made persistent efforts: "This battle will be won!" ”

The soldiers immediately shouted: "Victory... Victory..."

Seeing that the morale of the army was raised by himself, Gongsun Yan shouted: "Soldiers, even God has helped us in this battle, and this battle will be won." Now you and Ben will be in the future, and we will tear apart the Qin army together and fight our way out. ”

Saying that, Gongsun Yan took the lead and rushed out of the camp with the personal guard battalion.

River crossing.

At this time, the Qi-Zhao coalition army was storming the ferry, with the pontoon bridge as the main battlefield, and the armies of the three countries were fighting fiercely.

Although the battle was fierce, the Qin army guarded the ferry and did not let it go at all, and the Qi-Zhao coalition army was unable to open the gap for a long time.

Outside the ferry, ten miles away, Ren Wei commanded 40,000 Qin troops to form a phalanx formation, and they were already waiting for the formation.

The phalanx and the circle array are the most used formations in the battle array, but the phalanx is the easiest to place, a battalion of soldiers is lined up in vertical and horizontal columns, which is a phalanx, and many small phalanxes are combined, that is, a large phalanx.

In order to enhance the combat power of the phalanx, give full play to the numerical advantage of the soldiers as much as possible, and make themselves appear to be outnumbered, the phalanx will often fill a large number of soldiers on the outside, and the middle position will be vacant, so the phalanx is empty inside and outside, and at the same time, it is both offensive and defensive.

In the formation.

"Report to the general, the Yiqu army has left the camp..."

"Report, the Yiqu army has come out with all its troops, burned its own camp, and is rushing towards us."

"Huh?" Ren Yan smiled disdainfully: "If you want to fight to the death, Ben will fulfill you this time." ”

"Report to the general, there is an anomaly in the enemy army, and about three thousand horses are following the army."

"Three thousand or so horses?" Ren was stunned for a moment and said: "Do you want to borrow the speed of horses to quickly transport troops to attack the left and right flanks of our army, or attack our rear formation?" ”

"Hmph, since the general already knows that you have horses in your army, will you be careless?"

After muttering softly, Ren Yan ordered: "Order the left and right armies and the rear formation, and be careful to guard against the rapid surprise attack of the enemy army." ”

"No."

Watching the herald leave, Ren Yan muttered softly: "It's a pity that this time it was originally a river defense battle, and there were no chariots in the army, otherwise, a single charge could defeat the Yiqu Kingdom." ”

······

On the other side, after the Yiqu army left the barracks, they quickly set up a phalanx formation, Gongsun Yan led the defenders of Yiqu City in front, the rout was in the center, and the elite led by Yu Yuan led the horse to form a rear formation with a rout army, and then killed the Qin army unhurriedly.

After approaching the Qin army, Gongsun Yan squinted his eyes and glanced at the phalanx opposite, and sneered: "In the face of our army's attack, Ren Xiao'er did not put up a circle formation that was conducive to defense, but used a phalanx that was both offensive and defensive, it was really arrogant, if I lost this battle, what face would I have to live in the world." ”

Saying that, Gongsun Yan ordered: "Order all armies to immediately carry out the final rectification of the formation, and report immediately after the rectification is completed." ”

"No!"

After a while, the herald who was watching from the sidelines reported: "General, the first formation is ready..."

“···”

"General, the front army is all ready."

"The Chinese army is ready!"

"The rear army is ready!"

"Okay." Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "Order, beat the drum." ”

After the drum sounded, Gongsun Yan immediately said: "Order the first formation and the second formation to immediately move forward and assault the Qin army formation." ”

"Send an order to General Yu Yuan of the rear army, immediately get on your horse and go to the right side of the battlefield to cruise and contain the Qin army."

"No."

The general of the first formation received the order, drew his sword and pointed forward, and shouted, "Kill." ”

Then, the three thousand soldiers who had already been irritated immediately took their swords and shields and walked out quickly.

Soon after the first formation departed, the second formation immediately followed.

Then, after the second formation walked forward dozens of steps, Gongsun Yan gave another order: "Let the front army listen to the order, the whole army will attack, tear apart the Qin army, and kill a way out." ”

Soon, the former army shouted: "Kill..."

Then most of them stepped forward.

Hearing the sound of drums on the opposite side, Ren Yan of the Qin army immediately ordered: "Order the bow and crossbow battalion to prepare, once the enemy enters the firing range, immediately fire two rounds of arrows at the opposite side, and immediately retreat." ”

"No."

Seeing that the first formation on the opposite side hadn't rushed over, and then the second formation set off, he was suddenly surprised: "It seems that Gongsun Lao'er is in a hurry!" ”

"Well, then Ben will crush him in one wave."

"Order, the front army immediately prepares, and after the archers' arrows are fired, there is no need to wait, immediately charge."

"No."

Not long after Ren Yan gave the order, he heard a murderous shout from the opposite side, and then dispatched all the troops in front of him.

Ren was stunned for a moment, and then muttered: "It seems that Gongsun Yan, the old horseman, also wants to decide the winner immediately, so it is in line with me, Ben Jiang has been waiting for several days." ”

At this moment, a scout arrived: "General, the enemy's army on horseback has moved, and now the target is unknown, and it is wandering outside the battlefield." ”

"Okay, got it." Ren nodded his head.

Then he looked out of the battlefield, and saw the dust raised in the distance from far and near, and when he got close, he saw thousands of righteous soldiers riding on horses, scattered into a piece, and there was no complete formation at all.

Ren couldn't help but smile: "With these chaotic troops, even if they ride horses and quickly transport troops to the front of the battle, as long as our army is ready for battle, it will be no threat to us, and it will be vulnerable at all." ”
