Chapter 815: Battle

on the wilderness.

The imperial army was silent, the breeze blew, the flags were hunting, and it was a little depressing.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the nervous faces of every soldier of the army, many people swallowed their saliva nervously, and the hands holding the weapons tightened and tightened, the cavalry was not infantry, once it rushed up, it was difficult to block.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

Fortunately, soon the drums of war sounded, shaking all directions and dispelling the tension in the hearts of the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the left and right wings of the imperial army rushed out of two cavalry, such as two dragons galloping, roaring filial piety, and rushed straight towards the Hanzhou army.

In front of the Hanzhou army, Dong Wule did not move, staring at the cavalry rushing up, his eyes were a little colder.

Five generals came to Dong Wu with horses, stood side by side, looked ahead, and one of them said, "Master Dong, how to fight?" ”

Dong Wu glanced at the five subordinates, and then stared at the court cavalry who rushed up and said: "We only have one division of soldiers, and it is definitely not possible to resist head-on, so use the Han King's bull-taking tactics, first scatter and run one by one, lead the court army to chase, and then continue to divide the troops with battalions and teams, and destroy the other party in the movement. ”

"Understood!"

The five regiment commanders solemnly clenched their fists, pulled their horses away, and returned to their own troops, everyone already knew the tactics of morning glory and wolf packs, and knew what to do.

Soon the army moved, running from five directions, chaotic and orderly, and no one was afraid.

Dong Wu ran with one of the regiments and fell behind the team to press the formation.

The soldiers deliberately slowed down, and when the enemy caught up, they were about to start with their bows, and Dong Wu yelled: "Don't worry, all disperse, the goose-shaped formation, all aimed at Lao Tzu!" ”

The strength of a regiment quickly disperses, like a wild goose flying with its wings outstretched, and this formation ensures that the troops are fully deployed and not crowded together.

As soon as the formation was formed, the soldiers once again pulled their bows and shot back, one by one skillful, as if they were not affected by the bumps of the war horse, and the feather arrows were even more fiercely pounced, fast and fast.

Many people in the imperial army who caught up with them fell off their horses, and they also took out repeating crossbows, but the imperial court's repeating crossbows were the first generation of products, not improved behind Qin Huaidao, the range was slightly shorter than that of bows and arrows, and they couldn't reach it.

At the head of Minzhou City, Xue Zhi was a little nervous when he saw this scene, a division of less than 10,000 people, he actually dared to fight against the 20,000 cavalry of the imperial court, where did he get the courage?

After seeing the goose-shaped formation, Xue Zhi was even more surprised, didn't the troops die faster when they deployed? Also deliberately slowing down, what is this for?

But soon Xue Zhi found that something was wrong, the cavalry of the Hanzhou army always kept a certain distance from the imperial army, the accuracy of the bow and arrow was very high, and hundreds of people were put down after a while, and what was even more strange was that the crossbow in the hands of the imperial army could not hit the Hanzhou army, and they were dragged and beaten.

But the imperial army was superior in numbers, and Dong Wu saw that someone on both sides was outflanking, and shouted: "Divide again!" ”

The geese-shaped formation suddenly changed greatly, a regiment was quickly divided into five battalions, each of them looked for a direction to run, and the imperial army that caught up had only two choices, either to concentrate their forces to attack one battalion, or also divide their forces.

There is a great chance of concentrating forces to attack one battalion, but there is also a great risk, and the other four battalions may return to the main battalion, and the large battalion has no other cavalry and cannot stop it.

In desperation, the imperial army could only divide its troops to pursue.

The Hanzhou army was like a cell fission, constantly dividing its troops, and finally became a small squad as a combat unit, leading the imperial army to scatter in all directions, all over the mountains and fields, gradually moving away, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

Xue Zhi looked at this scene and was a little confused, shouldn't the cavalry rush to kill each other after putting on a posture, and still fight like this? Something unusual.

The young general from before came over and said excitedly: "Uncle, you see, the imperial cavalry fell thousands of people in just a while, but the reinforcements were unscathed, what kind of tactics are they, I haven't seen it in the war book." ”

The steppe overlord of later generations has not yet been born, and the people of this era of light cavalry tactics are naturally unfamiliar, not to mention that they have also integrated morning glory tactics into it.

"I've never seen this kind of fighting, but it looks useful, maybe it's a tactic invented by King Han, don't forget that King Han is a god of war-like figure, he has never been defeated, and his troops are naturally not weak." Xue Zhi said with emotion.

"After this battle is over, Uncle recommended me to go to the King of Han, I want to learn the art of war from the King of Han, it's amazing, you see, the court seems to be chasing and killing, but in fact it is no different from rushing up to die, it won't take long to fight like this, and all of them will die, on the other hand, the reinforcements, the losses are almost negligible."

Xue Zhi nodded, signaled not to make noise, and observed carefully.

In the end, behind the door, I gradually saw some fame, and my eyes were shining.

Not long after, the reinforcements led the imperial army away and disappeared from view, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

"The imperial army has suffered such a big loss, why don't you withdraw your troops?" The young general continued to ask curiously.

Xue Zhi couldn't see through this, but any general with a little experience could find that the dead were their own people, and it was not enough to kill them if they chased them like this, so they would inevitably withdraw their troops, thought about it carefully, and said: "Maybe they feel that they are the pursuing party, and they have the chance to win, so they don't want to miss the opportunity." ”

The young general proposed another possibility: "Uncle, could it be that some family sent an uneducated and unskilled person to lead this cavalry, wanting to win a big victory to prove his ability?" ”

"It's not impossible, go, tell your eldest brother, the court cavalry is chasing far away, rush out of the city, and give me to destroy the court army's catapults and siege equipment and return quickly, and you can't fall in love."

"Understood!" The young general hurried to give the order.

Not long after, the city gate suddenly opened, and a cavalry of 2,000 people rushed out of the city, roaring away, and rushed straight to the imperial army, led by a young general, dressed in chain mail, with blazing eyes, and the horse lance in his hand was held high, reflecting the sun, cold and sharp.

"Kill—"

The soldiers roared and slapped their horses, speeding up their charge.

When the imperial army saw that Minzhou actually dared to send cavalry out of the city to fight, they immediately panicked, and hurriedly arranged for the spearmen to come forward and the sword soldiers to the back of the palace, trying to block the cavalry attack.

The leading general did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, rushed in the direction of the Chinese army, put on a posture of fighting to the death, and when he was about to rush, he suddenly disguised himself and rushed to the side.

Two thousand people drew an arc, like a river suddenly turning around, and rushed straight to the catapult that was being erected next to it.

The imperial army suffered the loss of no cavalry, the infantry was slow, there was no time to block, and they did not dare to step forward to block, there was no formation, and the infantry who rushed up indiscriminately was looking for death in front of the cavalry.

"Kill!" The leading general took the lead and rushed up to kill.

The people in charge of the catapults are all craftsmen and auxiliaries, not the main combat arms, how can they have the courage to stop them? When he saw the rushing cavalry, he turned around and ran, only hating the lack of a pair of wings.
