Chapter 665: Peeking into the Enemy Formation
When the two armies were five miles apart, the Guanning army was the first to stop, and the army quickly lined up in the wilderness.
The terrain here is undulating, with rice fields, ridges, ditches, and ponds, and the terrain is quite complex.
However, the south is not as good as the north, and most of the terrain is like this. Fortunately, the Guanning cavalry had superb equestrian skills, and the cavalry rushed to the steep slope and crossed the ditch.
"King, it's about to bump in!" Bai Wenxuan said.
Gao Yihuan saw that three miles away, the black pressed a crowd of people, boundless, although it was not clear how many people came from the Guan Ning army, but roughly estimated, I am afraid that there are at least 30,000 people.
However, most of these more than 30,000 people are horse soldiers, and the cavalry has one person and two horses, plus the formation is loose, and the area occupied is not lost to the Wei army at all, and it seems that there are more horses than the Wei army from a distance.
Gao Yihuan saw that Guan Ningjun had already set up a formation, so he immediately raised his right hand and said loudly: "Stop!" ”
The surrounding people and horses immediately stopped, the chess and card officials quickly erected a big flag, and then waved it left and right, the soldiers raised their heads and blew the horn, and more than 50,000 Wei troops stopped one after another, and then quickly adjusted their positions and began to check the equipment.
Seeing the Wei army moving forward, it finally stopped, and in the main formation of the Guanning army, many soldiers couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, on the battlefield, a horn sounded in the Wei army's formation, and the Wei army's horse army, which was fighting in the wilderness between the two armies, pulled out their horses and retreated.
Seeing this, the Guanning cavalry also withdrew to their own formations, and the gap between the two armies suddenly widened.
Now the Guan Ning army and the Wei army are separated by three miles, and there is silence on both sides, only the banner hunting, the war horses keep snorting, and there is a murderous atmosphere in the air.
At the same time as the Wei army adjusted its formation, Gao Yihuan clamped the horse's belly and led all the soldiers to run out of the big formation, and peeked into the formation of the Guanning army closely, and in the Guanning army, there was also a team of horse troops rushing out to see the large formation of the Ming army.
Gao Yihuan reined in the reins of the horse two miles in front of the Guanning army's big array, and then took out the clairvoyant mirror, the camera passed over the cavalry rushing out, looked at the Guanning army behind, and saw that there were many horse troops on the other side and few infantry troops, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Gao Yihuan put down the clairvoyant mirror and smiled at the left and right: "The lonely king thinks that Wu Sangui, the turtle grandson, must be very entangled in his heart. ”
"Why does the king say that?" Hu Dawei asked.
Gao Yihuan pointed to the Guan Ning army on the opposite side, and said smugly: "There are many horses and horses in the Wu army, which is more suitable for attacking, but he wants to wait for work, so he can't be entangled." ”
As he was talking, the cavalry on the opposite side had already galloped forward and stopped a mile away from Gao Yihuan.
Wu Sangui saw the formation of the Wei army clearly, the four columns of the Wei army were a horizontal formation, a total of five horizontal formations were laid out, the gap between each horizontal formation was one hundred and fifty steps, and the soldiers stood in the field, the line was a little curved, like the waves cascading on the sea.
"Lord Wang, the Wei army's firearms are powerful, and they spread out in a horizontal formation, in order to be able to shoot more projectiles." Xia Guoxiang, who still had an embarrassed look on his face, hit his horse to Wu Sangui's side and explained: "The Wei army's firecracker does not use a fire rope, has a long range and a fast rate of fire. With the addition of hand-throwing thunder and a swarm of bees, as well as artillery support on both sides, the frontal firepower is quite powerful. ”
Wu Sangui took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the front first, at this distance, the armor, equipment, and even the expression on the face of the soldier on the opposite side could be seen clearly through the clairvoyant mirror.
In the circular world, in front of it is a row of soldiers holding firearms, they are checking the firearms in their hands, the camera moves to the left, the bronze cannon dragged by the war horse has been pulled to the dirt slope, and the soldiers are removing ammunition from the carriage and preparing to load.
When Wu Sangui peeked at the Wei army's front, Gao Yihuan had already moved his gaze to the Guanning cavalry that rushed out, and his eyes fell on one of the generals who was wearing silver armor and a white cloak and was dressed very majesticly, so he pointed at the man with a horsewhip and turned around and asked, "Is the guy in silver armor Wu Sangui Hu?" It's pretty big. ”
"It should be Wu Sangui!" Hu Dawei glanced at it from afar, and replied uncertainly.
Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, and he said to the generals around him: "Everyone has taken a closer look, whoever kills him in the battle array, the lone king will be rewarded!" ”
"No!"
"Yes!" The generals were overjoyed and clenched their fists.
Seeing this, Gao Yihuan smiled with satisfaction, then stopped observing, pulled the reins of the horse, and ran back to the main formation.
"Lord Wang, Gao Yihuan has returned to the battle!" Xia Guoxiang saw the Ma army who was peeking in the distance returning to the formation, and immediately reminded.
Wu Sangui looked at Gao Yihuan's golden back, staring at him with his eyes, until Gao Yihuan returned to the formation, Wu Sangui secretly cursed in his heart, "Such a swagger, I'm not afraid of being shot to death!" ”
Wu Sangui touched the three-stone hard bow hanging on the saddle, Zhang Xianzhong was shot by him, dragged for several months, and finally died of a broken wound.
"Back to the battle!" As soon as Wu Sangui pulled out the reins of the horse, he led everyone to run back.
At this time, Gao Yihuan returned to the Chinese army, and immediately shouted: "The soldiers of the Great Wei are the world-famous Guanning Army in front of them, but in the eyes of the Lone King, they can't be called a strong army at all, they are just a group of cowards who have no responsibility and are good at escaping. Today, the soldiers of my Great Wei will use the firearms, swords, and spears in their hands to tell the cowards in front of them what is the real strong army in the world. ”
After saying that, Gao Yihuan "poofed", pulled out his sword, his eyes swept over the generals, and the generals immediately pulled out their weapons, and the soldiers all raised their weapons.
Gao Yihuan was satisfied, and then shouted: "In this battle, Xu Sheng must not be defeated, and the Guan Ning army in front of him must be defeated!" ”
The Wei army was full of passion, and in front of the Guanning army, Wu Sangui personally galloped in front of the battle, and he shouted loudly while urging the war horse, and the horse's hooves were startled by a piece of dust.
In front of the Guan Ning army, nearly 10,000 heads turned with Wu Sangui's figure, and the soldiers clenched their spears one after another, puffed up their chests, and shouted in response to Wu Sangui.
"King Qin! King Qin! Guan Ning will win! The officers and men of the Guanning army shouted in unison, and the momentum could not be underestimated.
Gao Yihuan glanced at the other side, Wu Sangui's personal bravery did make Gao Yihuan a little envious, but he snorted disdainfully on his face, "The courage of the horseman!" ”
At this time, Gao Yihuan pointed his sword forward and roared angrily: "Kill!" ”
In the Wei army's formation, the sound of drums and trumpets immediately sounded, the loud horn sounded into the sky, the stirring war drums shook the sky, and the Wei soldiers holding the fire guns suddenly surged up and took a step in unison.
On the high ground on both wings, there was a sudden loud "boom, boom, boom", a cloud of white smoke was raised, and artillery shells whistled out, smashing in front of the Guanning army, splashing a piece of dirt.
A cannonball smashed in front of Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui, who was galloping, immediately went around in a circle and ran back into the formation.
