Chapter 367: The Battle of Xingkou (2)

Seeing the rout of the Qin army, Gao Yuan immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and launched a full-scale attack on the Qin army while the momentum was now at its peak.

As the horn sounded in the Dai Army's formation, the soldiers of the other two phalanxes also began to move forward.

And Jiang Huanwu, who was behind the left side of the whole army, waved the big stick in his hand and shouted: "Attack." As he spoke, his legs clamped the horse's belly violently, and the war horse let out a roar, spread its limbs, and rushed out, and behind him, the cavalry of the Fan Yong Army urged the war horses one after another, followed by Jiang Huanwu, bypassing a large arc, and charging towards the flank of the Qin army. The cavalry of the Fan Yong Army on the other side also killed the queue at the same time, and from the other side, almost the same arc path, they killed the Qin army.

Han Teng also did not expect that although in the battle just now, the Dai army had the upper hand, but the number of the Dai army was significantly less than that of the Qin army, and he dared to take the initiative to launch a comprehensive attack on the Qin army. The battle has also entered the stage of full-scale engagement.

At this time, Cao Wuxian brandished a seven-foot-long broadsword, and one person took the lead, leading the soldiers of the Nanyang Army to rush towards the Dai army, while Shi Wuwei and Yang Wuxing each used a bronze halberd, one left and one right followed behind Cao Wuxian's side.

Facing Cao Wushu and the other three rushed up was a mandarin duck formation squad, the first two huge square shields almost protected most of the soldiers of the team, and the soldiers behind opened their bows and arrows and shot at the three people.

I saw Cao Wushu swing his broadsword, dancing out of a waterfall of light, shooting down the arrows that shot at the three of them one by one, and then grabbed a few steps, raised the broadsword in his hand, and slashed towards a square shield.

"Boom!"

Although the soldier with the shield tried his best to resist the shield, he still couldn't withstand the huge force of the opponent's sword slashing on the shield, and as a result, even the human shield was cut backwards and flew out. Cao Wushu then rammed into the other side of the shield, and the shield-wielding soldier was also knocked into the other side and stumbled a few steps, and finally lost his strength and fell to the ground.

However, although the biggest barrier was lost, the soldiers of the Dai Army did not mess up at all, because in the usual training, the external management methods in various situations have been practiced, and it is this kind of protection tactic of losing both sides of the shield, which is the focus of the training. I saw that the two wolf cage soldiers immediately waved the wolf cage in their hands and stabbed Cao Wuxian, but their purpose was not to kill Cao Wuxian, but to use the characteristics of the wolf cage to block Cao Wuxian, and to re-pick up the square shield for the reserve soldiers behind and build a defense line to gain time. The spearmen and crossbowmen in the back also shot javelins and arrows desperately at their opponents.

If it was against ordinary Qin soldiers, the soldiers of the Dai Army might be able to immediately reorganize the defensive line and continue to engage the Qin army with the tactics of the Mandarin Duck Formation. But this time, the soldiers of the Dai Army were not facing ordinary Qin soldiers, but three masters with super strength.

And after losing the cover of the two big shields, the power of the mandarin duck array was also greatly reduced, Cao was unable to hold the sword with both hands, and with lightning speed, he slashed six or seven times in a row on the two wolf cages, and cut off four or five branches in a row, and the two wolf cage hands suddenly felt sore, and almost couldn't hold the wolf cage, and Shi Wuwei and Yang Wuxing respectively used the halberd, and the four pikemen fought, the halberd in the hands of the two ran like flying, and in a blink of an eye, two pikemen were stabbed down, although at this time the spear thrower, The crossbowmen also threw a few spears and arrows at the trio, but they couldn't save the defeat of the Mandarin Duck Formation team.

After dodging a javelin thrown at him, Cao Wuxian's long sword was unsheathed, the cuirass of the two wolf cage soldiers was cut open, blood gushed out, Shi Wuwei and Yang Wuxing's halberd stabbed together, and in a blink of an eye, four or five substitute soldiers were stabbed, but the three of them also suffered some injuries, Yang Wuxing's left arm was hit by an arrow, and Cao Wuxing's right cheek was also cut with a two-inch long bloody wound. And Shi Wuwei was also hit by two arrows, but fortunately, they were blocked by armor, so he was not injured.

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the remaining soldiers immediately retreated one after another, hiding behind the other Mandarin Duck Formation squads. Because the Mandarin Duck Formation is a formation that pays great attention to coordination and technique, every soldier who forms the Mandarin Duck Formation must go through a long period of rigorous training before they can achieve proficiency in coordination. This army has also been training since the time of Li Mu, and after three or four years, it has only trained these 6,000 soldiers. Therefore, they must not be allowed to die in vain. The plateau made a provision that when the number of soldiers in a Mandarin Duck Formation team reached six, the whole team could retreat from the battlefield, so that the soldiers who escaped could easily reorganize into a new Mandarin Duck Formation team.

Although they broke through a Mandarin Duck Formation, the three of them did not have the slightest bit of joy, because with the martial arts of these three people, any one of them would not defeat them too hard against twenty ordinary soldiers, and the three of them worked together to break through a Mandarin Duck Formation, and they also suffered some damage, so there was really nothing to boast about.

And at the same time that the three of them worked together to break through a mandarin duck array, the other Nanyang army soldiers also fought with the mandarin duck array, although the other Nanyang army soldiers were not as strong as the three of them, but compared with other ordinary Qin soldiers, it was still a lot stronger, and it was not the three of them attacking a mandarin duck array, at least the strength of a dozen of them soldiers, and a mandarin duck array.

Although the Mandarin Duck Array is exquisitely coordinated, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army do have strong combat effectiveness, and the soldiers of the Nanyang Army also seem to have found a way to deal with the Mandarin Duck Array, which is to first open the two big shields in front of the Mandarin Duck Array, as long as these two big shields are knocked away, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array will drop by half. Therefore, as soon as the soldiers of the Nanyang Army came up, they violently hit the big shield, and after knocking these two big shields away, they killed them together, relying on their strong combat effectiveness, killing the other generations and breaking the mandarin duck array.

It was Cao Wuxian, Shi Wuwei, and Yang Wuxing, each leading a team of soldiers to rush and kill, breaking several mandarin duck formations in a row, and only killing the soldiers of the Dai Army died one after another. As a result, when the two sides fought each other on the first day of the first month, the Mandarin Duck Formation was broken one after another, plus there were other Qin troops to help in the battle, so more than thirty or forty Mandarin Duck Formations were broken in one company. The soldiers who escaped immediately reformed the mandarin duck formation in the rear and threw themselves into the battle again.

However, despite this, the casualties of the Qin army were not much better, and the casualties were only more than the Dai army, and there were no fewer Dai troops, even the Nanyang Army, which had strong combat effectiveness, also suffered a lot of casualties.

Gao Yuan saw the chariot behind the array, looking at the battlefield, he saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang Army is really strong, and the Beiwei Army has not encountered such a strong opponent since it became an army. But at this time, the Dai army also had no room to retreat, so he could only fight to the death and fight to the end with the Qin army.

But after a period of fighting, the army also found some ways to deal with the opponent, because the opponent's personal strength is much stronger than their own, once they lose the cover of the two big shields, the other soldiers can't stop the opponent at all, so to compete with the other side, the first thing is to keep the two big shields from losing.

So when it came time to engage the other party, the two shield-bearers first put their shields on the ground, inserted their spikes into the ground with the lower end of the shields, and put their bodies against the shields, while the five soldiers who were prepared also came up to help them resist the shields together. This was originally a method for the Mandarin Duck Formation to fight against the cavalry or chariots, and now it is also used against the Nanyang Army.

Although the soldiers of the Nanyang Army are all brave and abnormal, after all, they are also flesh and blood, and with the impact of one person alone, of course, they can't fight three or four people, let alone them, even Cao Wuxian, Shi Wuwei, and Yang Wuxing are all blocked by shields, and they can't be broken even after hitting them several times.

After holding the shield, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array immediately increased, and the wolf cage soldiers and pikemen in the front row, and the spearmen and crossbowmen in the back row fought with the Nanyang army under the cover of the shield. Although the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were all brave, with the exquisite tactical cooperation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, they still did not account for much. However, the super combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Nanyang Army also made it impossible for the soldiers of the Dai Army to deal with other soldiers as easily, so in the fierce battle, there were many casualties on both sides.

But after all, there are only 3,000 soldiers in the Nanyang army, only half of the number of the Beiwei army, and the other Qin soldiers are too far apart, and the battle with the Mandarin Duck Array, the casualties are far greater than the Dai army, but on the whole, the Qin army is a large number after all, more than twice the number of the Dai army, and there are 3,000 Nanyang troops as the main pillar, so the two sides are evenly matched for a while, regardless of the upper and lower. And if it takes a long time, I'm afraid the acting army will still not be able to resist.

But that's it, it also made Lu Renjie and Su Hu, who were watching the battle in the city, breathtaking, so they fought with the Nanyang Army, and left a very deep impression on the battle of the Nanyang Army's strong defense, on the battlefield, the two saw with their own eyes that every ordinary Nanyang Army soldier can kill several soldiers of the Wei Army alone, and several generals of the Nanyang Army are unimaginably stronger, in their opinion, there is no army in the world that can confront the Nanyang Army.

But now the facts are in front of you, the Dai Jun is not only able to compete with the Nanyang Army, but also is not weaker than the inferior at all, which also shocks the two of them, is the combat effectiveness of the Dai Army so strong? It seems that it is not impossible to block the Qin army.
