Chapter 490: The Most Typical Offensive Formation in the Qin and Han Dynasties

On the north side of Tiger Prison Pass, a nest car stands tall. It's getting dark, and today's nest car looks taller than ever. On the nest car, Ying Fei was dressed in white and lightly furred, and she was looking out over the southern wilderness with a canopy in her hand.

Behind Ying Fei, there were only a dozen herald soldiers, one of whom was holding the Son of Heaven Sword sent by Dong Zhuo, and the five-colored gems inlaid in the scabbard of the Son of Heaven Sword and the sword handle were reflecting a dazzling brilliance under the light of the setting sun, making people dare not face it.

Under the nest car, the 300,000 Yingdong coalition troops were sitting quietly resting.

……

"My lord, our army has won."

Looking at Dian Wei and the others with happy faces, Ying Fei's expression was extremely solemn, his eyes flashed, and he said: "You are not the time to rejoice at this moment, the real war has just begun."

"Our army has won two battles, and it ...... as agreed"

"Haha."

Wan Er smiled, Ying Fei looked at Dian Wei, and said: "Evil, you always remember a word, and the soldiers are treacherous!"

After explaining, Ying Fei nodded, then raised his right hand and pressed it gently, indifferently, and said: "Order the whole army to line up, the front and rear armies are raised forward at the same time, the middle army is in the center, and the left and right armies are arrow feathers, forming a cone and arrow formation."

"No!"

One of the heralds responded with a bang, and immediately strode to the back of the nest car, and then raised a pennant embroidered with a horn symbol and waved it vigorously.

With the actions of the herald, the seven-colored banner on the nest car changed in an instant, and the 300,000 from the gate under the nest car responded to the order, forming a huge arrow in an instant.

The army formed a huge arrow in front and behind the army, with the Chinese army as the arrow shaft and the left and right armies as the tail of the arrow, and an enlarged version of the arrow was coiled in front of the Tiger Pass.

After three or five miles in a row, the formation of the army was formed, and a monstrous murderous aura was suddenly formed, and for a while, there was a gust of wind in the sky, and the skin of the stabbing person was painful.

"Roar."

The next moment, the low and distant sound of the horn was already resounding in the sky.

……

"Sss

To the south of Tiger Prison Pass, a nest car was also erected. Cao Cao's eyes were like a waterfall, and he looked at Dong Huan's coalition army that was moving, and his heart became extremely solemn.

"The champion Hou Bing is in a cone formation, and his offensive intent is extremely obvious."

Xun You and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths paused, and they said towards Cao Cao.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Cao ** glanced at the direction of the Yingfei nest car opposite, and the iron sword in his hand was clenched, and he said in a deep voice after a while.

"The order is that the front, middle and rear armies are the body, and the left and right cavalry armies are the wings, forming a long snake formation."

"No."

The herald made a promise, and the flag on his nest car changed, and in an instant, the allied army of the Kwantung princes turned into a huge python and was entrenched in the field.

"Meng De, this champion Hou put out a cone and arrow formation, clearly planning to attack, why did you set up this long snake formation?"

Glancing at the extremely sharp arrow on the opposite side, and then hearing Cao Cao's order, Sun Jian was a little puzzled in his heart. He hesitated for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression changed and said: "The ability of the champion Hou to use soldiers is unparalleled in the world, and he can be called contemporary Han Xin." Although Cao has self-confidence, he does not dare to speak presumptuously. ”

"In the face of the cone and arrow formation, let the champion Hou attack as much as he wants, such a stupid thing would have been unwilling to do. For today's plan, the only way to defend is to form a formation. ”

……

"Meng Degao, it's better to be strong!"

……

"Sss

The changes in the coalition army directly surprised Dian Wei. Dian Wei's eyes rolled, and he asked Ying Fei, "My lord, what kind of formation is this set up by the coalition army opposite?" ”

Glancing at Dian Wei, Ying Fei smiled lightly and said: "The name of this formation is called the long snake formation, if it can match with the terrain, it will be like a giant python across the wasteland, attacking its head will roll its tail back, taking its tail will be devoured, and chiseling its waist will be both head and tail, which is very advantageous."

"Sss

Hearing Ying Fei's explanation, except for Guo Jia and a few others, the rest were shocked. The cow shop on the side looked shocked, looked up at Ying Fei, and said.

"Champion Hou, since this is the case, what can I do to crack this one-word long snake formation?"

With a faint smile, Ying Fei's eyes shone brightly, and a touch of monstrous confidence filled his body, he stretched out his left hand and said, "It's not difficult to break this formation."

"If you want to exert your power, the key lies in its two wings of cavalry, if you want to crack this formation, the key is also in the two wings, just pinch its head, clip its tail, and then attack its waist, then this formation can be broken."

……

Under Ying Fei's explanation, everyone listened fascinated. Although everyone is a military general, but they are familiar with Sun Tzu, they have heard such a profound explanation there.

What's more, the way of battle formation, although it is a small path, is also the best embodiment of a commander's command skills. A simple formation can unite the strength of the army to make a shocking blow, and it can also change the formation to weaken the enemy's sharpness.

"Whew."

There must not be the slightest negligence in the battlefield duel, it is a matter of life and death, and it has to be cautious. With a deep breath, Ying Fei adjusted her mentality.

The lion fights the rabbit, and still go all out! What's more, the Kwantung coalition army is 400,000, and its number is superior to itself.

As soon as he thought of this, Ying Fei's eyes lowered, and his left hand pressed forward slightly, and said: "Order, the left and right armies will take the defensive, entangle the coalition cavalry, and the front army will take the offensive and storm the middle of the coalition army!"

"No."

The heralds walked back and forth, and the seven-colored banner on the nest car changed. The yellow and green colors are three inches higher, and the red is six inches higher.

The yellow and green colors represent the left and right armies, and its height of three inches means that the two armies are on the defensive, and the red represents the front army, and its height of six inches indicates that the front army is on the offensive.

……

As soon as the command flag on the Yingfei nest car was displayed, the army was launched in an instant, and the chariots and baggage carts in the left and right armies were pushed to the front of the formation.

Bands of spears and halberders began to fill the gaps in the chariots and baggage workshops, followed by spears and halberds with shields and then crossbowmen.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

……

At this moment, the front army was a different scene, in a tense battle drum, a group of light soldiers wearing kudzu clothes and slanted hair buns began to stride forward.

The light dead were followed by shieldmen and halberders who served as the backbone, then spearthrowers with guns on their shoulders, and finally crossbowmen.

This is the most typical attack formation in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the light soldiers in the front row are generally composed of death row prisoners and bandits to consume the enemy's physical strength.

Once the light soldiers are exhausted, the shields, halberds, spears, and bows and crossbows will attack with all their strength and crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

……

"Boom."

This scene directly shocked Cao Cao's heart. In his mind, the prediction of the number of winners and losers dropped by half. As soon as this attack formation came out, he knew that Ying Fei was absolutely extraordinary, and he was familiar with the way of battle formations.
