In order to guard against the bows and arrows of the Wu'an army, this time the Yan army also deliberately brought many shields, which were in the forefront of the several rows of soldiers, almost a shield per person, and a large square shield, forming a shield wall, and the soldiers in the back rows also held the round shield of the hand, raised it in the air, lined up in a neat line, and advanced towards the array of the Wu'an army.

Sure enough, the power of the Wu'an army's bow and arrows was greatly reduced this time, although some arrows still fell through the gap between the shields and hit some Yan soldiers, but the damage to the Yan army was not great.

At this time, the plateau was riding his horse and standing on a small knoll, and on his shoulder, a reddish-brown feathered kestrel landed. And beside him, Yun Yao was also riding on a white horse, and a gray-brown kestrel also landed on his wrist. And beside her, Han Xiurong accompanied her with several female soldiers. And Yun Yao's big white wolf was standing on the other side of the plateau. Because except for the red dragon on the plateau, the other war horses were a little afraid of this big wolf, and they didn't dare to stand with this guy, so they had to separate it from Yun Yao's horse.

In fact, Gao Yuan also thought about it, put a saddle bridle on this big wolf, and forget it when Yun Yao's mount, but although this guy's size is not small, it is completely enough to be a mount, but it is very turbulent to run, far less stable than animals such as horses and donkeys, if it is a cavalry, forget it, although Yun Yao has a lot of special abilities, but after all, she is a delicate girl, and she must not be able to stand such a tear. So let her ride a horse.

In the past few days, in addition to commanding operations, Gao Yuan has trained the two kestrels with Yun Yao. Although Gao Yuan is not a beast trainer, nor does he have Yun Yao's talent for beast training, he also knows that the first step in beast training is to establish an intimate relationship between humans and beasts, otherwise everything else will not be discussed. Therefore, Gao Yuan fed the two kestrel with Yun Yao every day and groomed their feathers. Moreover, these two kestrels, both of which are not yet fully adult, coupled with Yun Yao's talent for beast training, have gradually become familiar with the plateau, and are now able to obey the plateau's greetings and fall on his arm or stop on his shoulder.

Gao Yuan's response had long been expected, and of course he didn't expect to block the advance of the Yan army with just a row of bows and arrows, just like he did with chariots. Therefore, he doesn't feel anything bad, he has absolute confidence in the Mandarin Duck Array.

Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng and others came to the horses on the plateau, Jiang Huanwu said: "Lord, we have checked all around, and there is no trace of the Yan army fleeing back to Juyongsai. Moreover, every intersection is strictly guarded, and as long as there is a Yan army, it will immediately raise a fire and notify me. ”

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Very good, you guys have worked hard." "This battle has been carried out so far, and the special combat team led by Jiang Huanwu has made great contributions. Although they did not participate in the battle, they closely monitored the movements of the Yan army, so that Gao Yuan knew the whereabouts of the Yan army well, and was able to revise their battle plan according to the whereabouts of the Yan army, so that the current situation was achieved.

At this time, on the battlefield, the front line of the Yan army had advanced to less than twenty steps away from the Wu'an army, and many Yan soldiers threw away their shields, held weapons in both hands, and rushed towards the Wu'an army in stride.

At this time, the Wu'an army had also lined up the array, and the fifteen mandarin duck formation squads in the first row were already in full array, first of all, the crossbowmen in the back row fired bows and arrows at the Yan army, and the double-edged axe soldiers also threw javelins at the Yan soldiers. Because the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, the hit rate of the Wu'an army was extremely high, and there were almost no arrows, and the front of the Yan army suddenly fell.

Although in the array of the Yan army, there were also many archers who shot arrows at the Wu'an army and fired back, but the two shields in the front of the Mandarin Duck Formation team held huge shields one by one, and almost did no damage to the Wu'an army.

However, the Yan army did not retreat, because the array of the Wu'an army was in front of them, and it was almost a step away, although the Wu'an army's bow and crossbow were powerful, but they could only be fired once, and once the two armies were in close combat, the bow and crossbow would not be effective. Therefore, although the soldiers in the front row fell, the soldiers in the back row still launched a charge against the Wu'an army resolutely.

But when the Yan army rushed to the front and rear of the Wu'an army, they found that in front of them, there were only two huge shields, and on both sides of the shield, each stretched out a strange-shaped weapon, Yaya fork, shaped like antlers, but the striking surface was huge, so the soldiers of the Yan army were firmly blocked and could not take a step forward. Some Yan soldiers slammed into the shields, while others used their weapons to block the wolf cage.

And at this moment, from the gap between the wolf cage and the shield, four spears stretched out and stabbed at the Yan army, and many Yan soldiers were caught off guard and were stabbed by the spears. At the same time, behind the Wu'an army, the crossbowmen and double-edged axe men opened their bows and arrows one after another, constantly throwing javelins, and greeted the Yan soldiers. Because the distance was too close, the hit rate was extremely bad, and the Yan soldiers were beaten to the ground one after another, but the mandarin duck formation of the Wu'an army was almost unharmed.

There are many Yan soldiers who don't understand what is going on at all, but they can't help but be surprised when they see the soldiers on their side falling to the ground and dying, while the other party is unscathed, although each Yan soldier is also fighting very hard, but in the face of the defense line composed of wolf cages and shields, it is difficult to break through for a while, and the pikemen and crossbowmen of the Wu'an army launched a continuous attack on the Yan soldiers under the cover of their comrades in the front row. Let the Yan soldiers take care of one thing and lose the other, and they couldn't prevent it, but they were killed by the Wu'an army and killed countless people.

After a fierce battle for about half an hour, the Yan army was unable to break through the array of the Wu'an army, and he had suffered three or four hundred casualties, and his morale suddenly plummeted, so he had to retreat, leaving a piece of the corpse of the Yan soldiers in front of the array of the Wu'an army. The array of the Wu'an Army was almost undamaged. Only seven soldiers were killed, and more than a dozen others were wounded.

Gao Yuan also immediately ordered that the soldiers who went out to fight should be rotated to maintain their health, and the wounded soldiers also ordered Lang Zhong, who was with the army, to step up treatment. And Yun Yao also rushed to the improvised camp for wounded soldiers to treat the seriously injured soldiers.

After the defeat and retreat of the Yan army, Tai Xiao Dan and Fan Yu were shocked, although Tai Xiao Dan was not very proficient in military affairs, but it could also be seen that in the battle just now, the Yan army was at a very obvious disadvantage, and the combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army was far above the Yan army, so Prince Dan's face was pale, and his hands were holding the wheels tightly, trembling. At this time, Tai Xiaodan had no other way but to pin all his hopes on Fan Yuzhi.

In fact, the shock in Fan Yuqi's heart is far above that of Prince Dan, because Tai Yudan is a layman after all, and what he sees is only lively, while Fan Yuqi is an absolute insider and has seen a lot of doorways. In the battle just now, the Wu'an Army actually only had the soldiers in the first row and the Yan Army, that is, more than 300 people, of course, although the Yan Army dispatched 5,000 soldiers, but due to the limited width of the battlefield, the formation could not be fully expanded, so the actual battle with the Wu'an Army at the same time could only maintain more than 100 people. However, compared with the Wu'an army, the Yan army still occupies a considerable advantage in terms of strength.

In the past few decades, the Zhao army has always been the strongest opponent of the Qin army, and Fan Yuzhi has also fought with the Zhao army many times, but both sides have their own strengths, the Zhao army is strong in the cavalry army, and the Qin army is stronger than the bow and crossbow and assembly, in the infantry level, the Qin army is still slightly better than the Zhao army, because the Qin army's assembly is better than the Zhao army.

But this time the combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army was far from Fan Yuzhi's expectations, and the Wu'an army seemed to still have a formation to fight, although Fan Yuqi did not have an opinion on the operation of this formation, but the effect was obvious, in Fan Yuzhi's heart, he also compared the infantry of the Qin army with the Wu'an army, but the result made Fan Yuzhi very frustrated, although the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was far above the Yan army, but even if the Qin army was replaced, it may not be much better than the Yan army. Of course, Fan Yuqi didn't know that Qin Jun had already fought with the Mandarin Duck Array, and the result was really similar to what Fan Yuqi expected.

It's just the current situation, the Yan army has no choice, if it can't break through the Wu'an army's blockage, then the Yan army has only a dead end, Fan Yuzhi can only gamble, and immediately sent another 5,000 soldiers to attack the Wu'an army's array again. Now the only advantage of the Yan army is that there are more than 40,000 people, while the number of the Wu'an army is only more than 3,000, so Fan Yuzhi can only rely on the advantage of a large number of people, and fight with the Wu'an army to consume and fight until the Wu'an army is exhausted.

Subsequently, under the command of Fan Yuzhi, the Yan army launched round after round of attacks on the Wu'an army, and the Wu'an army was unmoved, still with me as the mainstay, maintaining the formation of the mandarin duck formation, and all arms of the army fought together to resist the attack of the Yan army, but every half an hour or so, a rotation was carried out, so that the soldiers maintained a full body.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, but under the stubborn resistance of the Wu'an army, the Yan army launched a total of five or six ** attacks, but all of them ended in vain, all of them were defeated by the Wu'an army, and the time for each round of attack became less and less, at the beginning of an attack could last for more than half an hour, but then the time became less and less, and the last time was less than ten minutes, and the Yan army was defeated and retreated.

At this time, the number of casualties of the Yan army reached more than 1,500 people, and in front of the array of the Wu'an army, all of them were the corpses of the Yan soldiers, and almost all of them were covered by the corpses of the Yan soldiers within ten steps. The casualties of the Wu'an Army were only more than 50 soldiers. Due to the new establishment adopted by the Wu'an Army, each Mandarin Duck Formation squad has five reserve soldiers, so each Mandarin Duck Formation squad has been replenished at the extreme, and it still maintains its original combat effectiveness and has not weakened at all.
