Chapter 575: Skillfully Change the Formation, Run After the Fight!
Although Tong Yan only set up a battle formation of 4,000 people this time, the remaining more than 50,000 people also lined up in front of the city.
Today he deliberately put on that golden armor, and the war horse he straddled was also wrapped in golden armor. What he wants is this kind of kingly demeanor, what he wants is to make all the soldiers of the Northern Yan Kingdom jealous of him but can't kill him.
As noon drew nearer, a battle formation of four thousand men had been laid down. The weapons of these 4,000 people, Tong Yan made certain adjustments. Some carried shields and swords, others spears, and some bows. Not only that, but the four thousand people also distinguished between cavalry and the main general and deputy general. The cavalry naturally rode horses, while the main general and the lieutenant general were in the center of the formation. This is convenient for changing the formation in time during the confrontation below, so as to maximize the power of the battle formation.
Tong Yan has a sword hanging from his waist, and in his hand are three orders of different colors. Each order flag represents a formation, and there will be someone in the battle formation who is responsible for observing the order flag presented by Tong Yan, and changing the formation in a timely manner.
These three formations, Tong Yan and the four thousand soldiers selected have evolved many times. With them to fight today, Tong Yan is full of confidence, unless the military division of the Northern Yan Kingdom sends more troops, if the troops are equal, his chances of victory are quite large. Of course, there is another possibility of defeat, that is, the enemy's military division uses the method of military more than Tong Yan, a unicorn talent. But if that's the case, Tong Yan is going to send an assassin anyway to end up with that military division. Who would let an enemy better than themselves live too long?
Time passed little by little, and finally, the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom came to the battle. The battle of 100,000 troops is naturally not trivial, but Tong Yan also has 50,000 or 60,000 people on their side, and they are not inferior.
At the forefront of the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom was a chariot. On the chariot sat an old man in a white robe with a feather fan in hand.
Leaning closer, Tong Yan recognized the identity of the old man at a glance. In the rebel camp that day, Tong Yan had imagined that if this old thing was not removed, it would definitely pose a threat to himself in the future. But it's a pity that the old thing escaped, otherwise there wouldn't be today's peak showdown.
The chariot carried the old man of the military division and continued to move forward, and finally stopped fifty meters away from Tong Yan's army.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wanted to meet Tong Yan. It can be seen that he takes himself very seriously, and even fantasizes that he is already the real commander of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
Tong Yan understood and immediately drove forward. It wasn't until the two were less than ten meters apart that Tong Yan stopped his horse.
"Your Royal Highness, let's meet again, don't come unharmed!"
Hearing this, Tong Yan sneered and said, "Thanks to you, I'm doing well." It's just that I didn't expect that you, the anti-thief military advisor, have now become the dog of the Northern Yan Kingdom. That's really impressive! I want to ask, do you remember who your ancestors were? ”
In the face of Tong Yan's bad words, this old thing seemed very calm.
"Your Royal Highness, I am different from you, you were born to be a human being, and you can get whatever you want. But what about me? Everything I have is earned by my own efforts. Those who know the times are junjie, and Beiyan is willing to reward me with a mouthful of food, and it is natural for me to work hard for them. ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan laughed and said: "I don't know if I thought that after drinking a sip of chicken soup, selling my ancestors to seek glory can also be so high-sounding by you." Old thing, I really don't know if your shame is still there. If you want a bite of food, I can give it to you. Instead of being a dog for Beiyanguo, you should be for me. It's all dogs anyway, so it's better than throwing away your life, right? ”
is more eloquent than Tong Yan, don't look at his age, ten of him is not an opponent.
The old military advisor gritted his teeth angrily, and then said fiercely: "Zhao Rui, didn't you come to let me break the formation today?" Let's just let you see the old man's means. When the time comes, who will die, let's see! ”
"Okay, then we'll see! I sent 4,000 people to set up a formation, I hope you understand the rules, don't let me down! Hehe......"
Tong Yan smiled and turned his horse's head and returned to the army.
The old soldier was completely enraged by Tong Yan, and he only had one idea now, that is, to break Tong Yan's big array, and then attack the city in one fell swoop, killing the people of Zhao Guo without leaving a piece of armor.
What he didn't know was that this was actually done by Tong Yan on purpose. Tong Yan said so many ugly things just to provoke him. As long as people are provoked, they are easy to be impulsive, and if they are impulsive, they will have no brains. The end of entering the battle is just a loss of soldiers!
Returning to the front of the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom, the old military advisor gave an order, and immediately rushed out of five thousand cavalry from one side.
Tong Yan said that he used 4,000 people to set up the formation, but this old thing still has 1,000 more, obviously trying to play some tricks. But where does Tong Yan care about this? For a thousand more, he will eat a thousand.
Looking at the cavalry sent by the old thing of the military division, it should be a cone-shaped formation of one of the ten formations. The cone formation is a battle formation with a cone of forwards, the cone formation must be sharp and fast, the two wings are strong and powerful, and the elite strikers can attack the enemy in a narrow frontal position, break through and cut the enemy's formation, and expand the results of the two wings, which is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.
Using a cone formation to break the formation is actually a good choice. But unfortunately, in Tong Yan's drill formation yesterday, there happened to be a goose-shaped formation that restrained the cone-shaped formation.
The so-called goose-shaped formation is actually a kind of battle formation that is spread horizontally, and the left and right wings are arranged in forward or backward echelons, and the forward is a V-shape, just like the arms of an ape stretched forward, which is a formation used to outflank and detour, but the defense of the rear is relatively weak. If the two wings are more mobile cavalry, when stationary, they can get the protection and support of the infantry in the center, and they can give full play to the power of the attacking cavalry to increase the suddenness.
Tong Yan raised the black order flag in his hand without the slightest hesitation, and the observer soldiers in the battle formation saw this and hurriedly passed it to everyone.
In less than a minute, the original phalanx changed and directly turned into a V-shaped goose-shaped array.
At the same time, the five thousand cavalry of the Northern Yan Kingdom like an awl had also arrived, and immediately rushed into the goose-shaped formation.
The old man's face was pale, and it was too late for him to regret it now. Tong Yan seems to be waiting for him to break the formation first, but in fact, this is not the case at all. Tong Yan responded according to the formation of his Northern Yan Kingdom, and changed the formation.
From this point, the old man of the military division has fallen into passivity.
As for the results, of course, they are very obvious. None of the 5,000 cavalry of the Northern Yan Kingdom was spared, and all of them died in the battle. And Tong Yan's 4,000 soldiers only lost more than 1,000 people, and with one for five, Tong Yan won the first victory against the Northern Yan Kingdom!
But the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom was unwilling to suffer in vain, only to see that the two deputy marshals ignored the military division and directly ordered someone to blow the horn of attack.
Seeing this, Tong Yan turned his horse's head in a dashing manner, and withdrew his troops like this.
This is just the first battle, and the best is yet to come!
