"So effective?" Tian Yu said in disbelief, "Then when you were in Jizhou, why didn't you use this method to deal with our Youzhou Iron Horse?" ”

Bian Xi smiled miserably and said in a low voice: "They all died, and they all died later, and no one knew that we had defeated the Changshui Camp in this way. ”

"There are only 5,000 people in the Changshui camp." Zhang Fei asked, "But now there are 30,000 Xianbei people, and there will be more and more, what if the horse rejection array is broken?" ”

"We also have a giant shield and a great spear." One of the soldiers shouted.

"The phalanx has also been breached?" Zhang Fei then asked, "In these few battles, we have all had a phalanx that has been broken, and as soon as the phalanx is broken, the brothers can only wait to be slaughtered. ”

"No, there's a way." Bian Xi said, "We can use soldiers to build a horse rejection array. ”

"Use people as a rejection array?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Meet the enemy with a battle formation?" ”

"When I was training in the Quanzhou camp, I saw that the soldiers under General Yue Fei were practicing a kind of cavalry formation, they put shield soldiers and spearmen in front to block the impact of enemy cavalry, use archers to cover and shoot in the rear, and then cut the horse's legs with swords and axes." Bian Xi said, "Although General Yue Fei's formation can effectively kill and injure the enemy's cavalry, its own casualties are very large. I fought with the Vietnamese cavalry battalion of the Northern Army, and when they fought, they all met the enemy in battle formations, and they were invincible. I think their battle formations are very suitable to defeat the cavalry. ”

"The Yue cavalry battalion of the northern army used to be the main force of the Han army that went out of the fortress to attack the Huns, and they repeatedly defeated the Hun cavalry and were invincible, so they were called the Yue cavalry battalion. In the past, when they were marching and fighting outside the Saiwai, they were often attacked by the Hun cavalry with lightning speeds, and the soldiers did not have time to use the vehicles accompanying the army to set up a vehicle formation to block the enemy, and often suffered heavy losses. Later, they came up with a formation that could effectively deal with cavalry in the field without relying on a chariot formation. ”

"This battle array is based on 'Shi', as long as the official gives an order. The soldiers, under the leadership of the chief, immediately formed a formation with 'shi'. Facing the direction of the enemy cavalry, the first three soldiers sat on the ground, the end of their spears on the ground, their knees clamped, and their hands clenched. The tip of the spear stabbed obliquely in front of a man of height, forming a repulsion horse. In the middle were also three soldiers, who knelt close to them, holding their spears tightly with both hands, the ends of which were clamped under their armpits, and the tips of their spears pierced about one and a half to two people in front of them, so that the purpose of the formation was to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing forward and leaping. The three soldiers standing in the last row, armed with bows and arrows, were responsible for shooting the enemy cavalry directly in front of them and on the left and right sides. The chief is responsible for directing the operation of the formation. ”

"The spacing between each battle formation is one to five feet. The arrays are scattered but orderly. If there are dozens to hundreds of these small formations on the battlefield, you can force the enemy to ride back and forth in these small formations, losing their strong attack power. ”

"The Yue cavalry battalion has defeated the Huns countless times with this kind of battle formation, and we will definitely do it."

Zhang Fei nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, you say that." I remembered it too. On the battlefield of Jizhou back then, I also saw the infantry of the Northern Army using this kind of battle formation. How do you know it's called Horse Rejection? ”

"It's not called a rejection formation. That's what I call it casually. Bian said hatefully, "I have thousands of brothers who have died under this kind of battle, and of course I know it well. ”

"This kind of battle formation requires a long period of training before it can be used in actual combat, but tomorrow we will meet the enemy, and it is useless to say it." Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow we will meet the enemy with a horse rejection formation." Ordered the soldiers to rush to the horses overnight. ”

"What's your name?" Zhang Fei suddenly pointed at Bian Xi and asked, "You can be a military commander." ”

Bian Xi smiled bitterly, bowed down and replied, "The villain's name is Bian Xi." ”

"Okay, I remember." Zhang Fei walked up to him. Patting him on the shoulder, "If you don't die, this battle formation will be led and trained by you." ”

………………

On the mountain road leading to Guangwu City, Zhang Fei was galloping all the way with more than 20,000 soldiers.

Some of the soldiers carried a huge spear in pairs, some carried four or five feet long tree trunks, and some carried bundles of straw ropes on their backs, and walked like flies.

Bian Xi and his comrades-in-arms carried a sharpened tree trunk the thickness of an arm, running the mountain, sweating profusely.

"Old Bian, does this rejection of horses work?" The soldier in the back asked breathlessly.

"It works." Bian Xi shouted, "This time, we will definitely kill the Xianbei people to the point and avenge the brothers." ”

"Lao Bian, if we win the Xianbei people, you will have the greatest credit."

"I don't want credit, I just want revenge."

………………

Yuanping City, the sound of killing shook the sky.

The phalanx of 4,000 people led by Jiang Yiqu was the first to be broken by the Xianbei cavalry.

These soldiers were newly recruited peasants, who had no formal training, and were very unfamiliar with the use of giant shields and spears, let alone the understanding and rational use of the opposing array.

The soldiers fought to the death on the basis of their own bravery and hatred for the Hu people, but this was only a temporary courage after all, and the durability was extremely poor. After a period of stubborn resistance, it was finally broken through by the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people because of the excessive damage.

The Xianbei people swarmed in, trampled on their horses, and shot indiscriminately.

Jiang Yiqu led the remnants of the soldiers to retreat to the left of the rear phalanx, fighting and leaving.

This is the first time Jiang Yiqu went to the battlefield, the first time he participated in a big battle, the first time he commanded the army, the first time he killed people, after the initial fear and panic, he just barely calmed down, he saw the phalanx rupture, and saw hundreds of iron horsemen rushing towards him.

He was furious, he was enraged by the blood and corpses of his comrades, he lost himself in the terrible howls, shouts, war drums and horns that filled his ears, he fell into madness and lost his mind. Unstoppable as he swung his battle axe, he slashed seven horses and killed fourteen of his enemies in one fell swoop. Covered in blood, he raised the head of his enemy and raised his axe and shouted: "Brothers, kill ...... Ah......h

Pu Yun, the small leader of the Xiongnu Tu tribes who was in charge of commanding the charge, saw that the Han army officers were brave and invincible, and swore not to retreat with a team of men and horses, while the rest of the Han soldiers were retreating rapidly under their cover, he could no longer hold back the resentment in his chest, and swept in with his own guards like a whirlwind.

"Kill the horse...... Kill the horse first......"

Jiang Yiqu was not afraid of danger, holding an axe in one hand and a spear in the other, shouting and shouting hoarsely, facing the rain of arrows in the sky, and rushed up.

Inspired by Jiang Yiqu's bravery, the soldiers all followed closely behind, bravely taking the lead and shouting for battle.

Jiang Yiqu rose into the air, and the spear in his left hand was like a roaring dragon, plunging into the belly of Pu Yun's war horse, and at the same time, the battle axe in his right hand slashed down in the air, smashing the attendant who was running on Pu Yun's side and flew up, and his brain was sprinkled with blood.

Pu Yun's war horse neighed miserably, and his huge body flew out of the air for several feet, falling to the ground with a bang. Pu Yun stood up with a rolling belt, dancing wildly with the war knife in his hand, and slashed three people in a row.

Jiang Yiqu held his battle axe high, staring at his blood-red eyes, like a roaring beast, chasing him and killing him.

Pu Yun gritted his teeth and chopped with a knife.

Jiang Yiqu roared all the way, facing the whistling war knife, he looked at it as if it was nothing, and slashed with his axe.

Pu Yun saw that the other party was not dodging or dodging, and there was a great tendency to end up together, and the war knife in his hand couldn't help but stagnate.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and at this moment of lightning, Jiang Yiqu roared again, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made Pu Yun shocked.

"Kill ......" Jiang Yiqu's big axe struck down with a thunderous force, instantly splitting Pu Yun and the war knife in his hand in half, blood splattered, and then shouted loudly: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

Gao Ran stood in front of the phalanx, watching Jiang Yiqu disappear on the flank of the phalanx with a bloody battle axe, and shouted loudly: "Good man! ”

He turned his head abruptly, raised his hand and shouted, "Volley...... The strong archers fired a volley ......"

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired.

………………

Almost at the same time, He Gequan led the iron cavalry to charge into the phalanx led by Lu Weiguang. Soldiers on both sides immediately engaged in a fierce struggle.

"Brothers, kill the Hu people, kill them out......"

Lu Weiguang didn't let his voice fall, but he saw the tip of a spear with flesh and blood suddenly rushing out of his chest, the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times, he cursed hatefully, and fell to the ground.

He Gequan withdrew his spear, and before he could pick it up again, the war horse under him was chopped off by the furious Han soldiers, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Xianbei people swarmed up to rescue their heroes. The Han soldiers swarmed up and vowed to kill him to avenge him. The two sides immediately killed flesh and blood in a small square inch, and they did not die.

The Xianbei soldiers grabbed the armor of Woshaquan and dragged it back desperately; The Han soldiers grabbed He Gequan's left leg and pulled it forward as best they could.

A Han soldier saw that Woshaquan was about to be rescued, and in a hurry, he jumped up and chopped off He Gequan's leg with a knife.

Four spears pierced the soldier's chest and abdomen in an instant, pinning him firmly to the ground.

Before the Xianbei soldiers could drag He Gequan out of the way, the Han soldiers grabbed He Gequan's other foot.

At this time, the Han soldiers did not hesitate, everyone stabbed and speared, and they cut off He Gequan's leg.

The Xianbei people were very tenacious, and after a series of killings, they once again dragged He Gequan out two steps.

The soldiers of the Han army saw that there were fewer and fewer of them, and now even if they gave up slaughtering He Gequan, everyone would not be able to escape.

"Brothers, fight, fight......"

"One life for another, kill him, kill him......"

The soldiers of the Han army suddenly went crazy, and everyone no longer cared about life and death, and they all fought for their lives and moved forward bravely. The Han army fell three and chopped open He Gequan's waist ribs; Five more fell, and chopped off He Gequan's left hand; fell down five more, and finally chopped off He Gequan's head with a knife.

The last Han soldier grabbed He Gequan's head, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill ......" (to be continued. )
