Chapter Forty-Eight: Red Flowers and Green Leaves

Successive blows, thunder and rain hit the head of the siege army of Goguryeo, the flank attack made the siege army outside the east gate demoralize and chaotic, at this time Dian Wei led the soldiers and horses from the city to kill, although there were only a thousand soldiers, but Dian Wei led hundreds of the most elite Yan Zhao warriors in Liaodong, the combat power is not small, crashed into the enemy line almost no stalemate, only a moment to break through the enemy formation, keep killing the enemy formation.

Seeing that Yanbei hammered the battlements on the city, this Dian Wei is too sincere, let you go out of the city is not for you to capture the enemy general! What is the use of leading a thousand people straight to the enemy's Chinese army to raid the past, it should be spread out and pressed by the whole army, so as to defeat the enemy and run away.

As long as the enemy army runs away, Sun Qing's scout cavalry and Zhao Yun's charging cavalry can still make the enemy run away?

No matter how Yan Bei complained, he couldn't make Dian Wei change his tactics now. Yan Bei was helpless for a moment, and then shouted at the soldiers in the city again: "The arrow rain and stone cannons don't stop, throw them at the left and right flanks of the Dianjun, don't be injured by mistake!" ”

Dian Wei's somewhat reckless choice of offensive tactics caused some trouble to the defenders of the city, but with Yan Bei's order, the defenders bombarded the enemy troops surging on both sides of Dian Wei's sergeant in a targeted manner. The effect of the stone cannon reinforcement on the city head far exceeded the effect of the siege, so that the stone cannon with a range of 75 steps could project a 40-pound boulder 100 steps away, and still had the ability to plow the ground and corpses into a ravine.

In fact, it is not wrong for Dian Wei to choose such a tactic, after all, he is obviously the most courageous one in the entire army, those who bear the brunt of the enemy army in the face of Dian Wei wearing double armor is no one of their enemies, and the army of thousands of people formed a sharp formation after rushing out of the drawbridge range, charging forward with Dian Wei's slow and orderly steps. Outside of their formation, the Goguryeo army, which was trying to form a formation to defend itself against the enemy, was smashed to the ground by the boulders that roared down from the sky.

Stone cannons are not bows and arrows, and their mission in the battle array is not to kill the enemy, in fact, even if twenty intact stone cannons stand at the head of the city and shoot for half an hour, they can only kill a few hundred people, after all, the hit rate of this weapon is only related to luck, and the real meaning of stone cannons is to disrupt the enemy's formation so that most of the enemy troops cannot form an effective combat force, and use the fear of death to intimidate the enemy and alleviate the fighting spirit in his heart.

No one wants to fight against an enemy they can't defeat, and the stones thrown by the cannons belong to the one that can't be defeated.

Swords, crossbows, shields, armor, and even earthen walls, all of which could not stop the stone cannons from attacking, can imagine the blow to the morale of the enemy with such defenseless weapons.

The so-called less wins more easily, but there is never a weak victory over the strong.

Although the soldiers of the Dianwei Department outside the east gate were only a quarter of the siege army, they steadily pressed the Goguryeo soldiers to chase and fight, and no one could fight to the death without retreating when the rain of arrows and flying stones would fall above their heads at any time, even if the leader was the Goguryeo Dajiahu Division, even if there was a team of warlords with delicate iron swords behind the soldiers...... Not at all!

At any time, armor and armor are not the key to determining victory or defeat, at least in cold weapon combat, the elite and number of troops are the only key to determining victory.

And a good general knows how to grasp the rational distribution of troops in each part of every major battle, even if the total number of troops is less than the enemy's army, he can win more in the local area, and finally achieve a difficult battle of winning more with less.

The current situation is that Dian Wei, the army with the strongest armament and slightly less troops, dragged half of the enemy army, and then Lu Yi Zhao Yun and other 6,000 horse infantry troops crushed the enemy's ambitious siege outside the south gate, and then joined forces to aid Dian Wei and completely crushed the tiger division!

After seeing that Dian Wei had the aid of the stone cannons and archers in the city, he advanced a hundred steps under the city, and still broke through the enemy line at a slow speed, and there was confusion on the left and right of the enemy's central army, Yan Bei no longer worried about the east of the city, and ordered Guo Jia: "Once Dian Wei is about to rush out of the firing range, he will order the soldiers in the city to go out of the city to aid Dian Jun and defeat the enemy army." ”

After that, Yanbei handed over the defense of the crossbowmen at the head of the city to Guo Jia and walked briskly to the south of the city.

The shouts of killing in the south of the city intensified, but in the east of the city, he could not see the slightest clue, which finally made him feel uneasy in his heart, and he saw the enemy army being defeated with his own eyes, and he wanted to see it for believe...... And this is actually the first battle of Zhao Yun's cavalry, he wants to see if Zhao Yun's troops and horses can have some skills of Lu Fengxian's Bingzhou iron cavalry!

In the face of Gongsun Zhan, who is famous for commanding cavalry, it is definitely impossible to count on those defeated generals Wuhuan cavalry, and after all, he has to rely on the descendants of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici in his own hands.

Outside the south gate of Susheng Bone City, there was chaos.

Nearly 10,000 people spread out outside the city, on the plains, in the hills, and among the woodlands, the sound of shouting and fighting was mixed with crying and wailing.

The most dazzling sergeant under the city was not Zhao Yun's cavalry, but a foot soldier under the command of Lu Yi...... Yanbei had seen Lu Yi command the three battalions of Duliao's subordinates to fight in a large army formation of nearly 10,000 horses, but unlike only 2,000 people at this time, it was not surprising that the army array was between Lu Yi and Yanbei; But when this kind of debt battle was fought with the school captain's department, Yanbei had never seen anyone better than Lu Yi to use soldiers.

I saw that Lu Yi was the first to bear the brunt of the long lance and crashed into the enemy line, and then four or five hundred people behind him poured into the enemy line, and then Lu Yi retreated, taking advantage of the enemy's siege on three sides to protrude hundreds of soldiers, Heng Yi immediately opened his hands and shouted, and the left and right songs waved out like scorpions, and pushed the formation forward a hundred steps in a moment.

And on the rear side of the enemy line, a white horse and silver spear or pick or stab, burst into the formation and shuttled back and forth with a group of cavalry, until the battle robe was dyed red. Although they could only divide into four fronts, they succeeded in dividing the enemy's thousands of soldiers and horses into several pieces, making the enemy unable to coordinate with each other, and there was a faint appearance of Lu Bu outside the Yanshi City.

No, Zhao Yun did not use Lu Bu's tactics, and there were still differences between the two.

Lu Bu seemed to be frolicking in the battle array, and the innate arrogance brought by the unparalleled bravery was something that Zhao Yun did not have. Compared to the saffron-like Lu Bu in the battle array, Zhao Yun is more like a green leaf that covers the sky and the sun, although his bravery has long been familiar to Yanbei in the results of chasing Guo Yan for more than ten miles, but it is not highlighted in the battle array.

Zhao Yun just rushed to the front, trampling through every bend and camp of the enemy, picking and killing those junior officers who gave orders, and the entire cavalry had been loaming in the enemy formation in the closest place to the army line, crushing all the difficulties for the army to attack the enemy line.

That's the steadfastness of being willing to be a green leaf.

As far as Yan Bei's understanding of Lu Bu is concerned, if he lives for another thousand years, he will not be able to be like Zhao Yun!
