() The terrain of the Jianzhang Palace ruins is complex and not suitable for large army operations. In some narrow places, a large formation of eleven people cannot be deployed. Therefore, the two columns behind the captain separated and formed in units of five.

, the wolf warriors stepped forward and lined up with the shield bearers to form the first line of defense. The two spearmen followed, with the saber bearers behind them, to engage in du li combat.

If the Yuanyang Formation was adapted by Qi Jiguang from Mr. Tang Shunzhi, who was known as one of the Three Great Masters of Jiajing, then this variant of the Yuanyang Formation was created by Qi Jiguang. It is mainly used for street fighting in narrow areas and is called the Five Elements Formation.

After all, five people are more flexible than eleven people. Although the Jie soldiers are stabbing with spears, they can neither attack nor defend against the Five Elements Formation. As long as they are caught by the wolf trap, they will instantly have more weapons.

A transparent hole.

Although the Jie army was not afraid of death, many of them waved their spears and shouted wildly, fighting to the death, but apart from falling down and dying one after another, they really didn't gain much.

Yu Wenjun on the high ground was full of blood, and his little face turned red. He saw the Jie soldiers below falling to the ground one after another, but few of the soldiers on his side were killed by the enemy. These few people

Most of them accidentally tripped over obstacles on the ground, and before they had time to get up, the Jie army around them took advantage of them.

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but cheered: "Sister, at this rate, we can kill all the Jie thieves in half an hour at most."

Zhang Lingyun's confidence also greatly increased. The power of the Yuanyang Formation was beyond her expectation. In fact, she couldn't be blamed. Zhang Lingyun was not a time traveler, and her understanding of the Yuanyang Formation was not as good as Yunfeng's. "History of the Ming Dynasty" once recorded that Qi Jiguang once used the Yuanyang Formation to fight against Japanese pirates.

, the number of the two armies

Quite literally, hundreds of Japanese pirates were killed, while only one of the Qi army was slightly injured! This was almost unimaginable in ancient times when hand-to-hand combat was the main focus. It is worth noting that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese pirates at that time was not only no weaker than that of the Ming army.

Sharp, even slightly more so!

Suppressing her inner excitement, Zhang Lingyun pointed at the trench: "Don't be too optimistic yet. The Jie thieves' cavalry has already rushed in."

Yu Wenjun looked in the direction of Zhang Lingyun's finger. Outside the gap, in a large open space like a garbage dump, countless Jie and Zhao cavalry were rushing in and out, converging towards the gap. Fortunately, their sprinting speed had slowed down.

It was a lot slower, and although it seemed powerful, as soon as it entered the gap, it was immediately greeted by a dense rain of arrows.

The Jie cavalry in the middle basically didn't suffer much casualties, but knights on both sides kept getting hit by arrows and falling off their horses.

Although Jie Qi was also riding and shooting, the three-layered giant shield blocked most of the arrows. The Qin army only occasionally had archers killed by unfortunate arrows, and even if they tried to charge into the giant shield regardless of life and death,

It couldn't be done. The cavalry charge must have speed, and it was precisely the obstacles outside the trench that restrained the cavalry's speed.

The Jie cavalry tried their best to shrink inward to avoid the arrows, but with the continuous flow of more than 80,000 cavalry, the center of the passage was already crowded with people, and the outermost cavalry were only forty or fifty steps away from the shield wall.

In such a short distance, the cavalry's horses could not catch up.

Come. But they collide with the shield wall. Not only will they not be able to hurt the enemy, but all of them will die. You must know that when the Di army attacked the Liangzhou Army's shield wall, it took two or three miles to build up momentum, and the horse was quickly defeated.

Only when pushed to the limit can it produce overwhelming power.

Jie Qi all secretly cursed the infantry, which caused trouble by throwing their equipment carelessly. However, they had to rush after scolding. Without the sound of gold ringing, Yu Wenbu and Duan Bu did not dare to take half a step back.

!

As the Murong cavalry equipped with short spears were farthest from the gap, most of them were still following the Yuwen and Duan cavalry who failed to enter, and could not pose a threat to the Qin army for the time being.

The cavalry that rushed in fell to the ground in clusters and died under the attack of arrows from both sides, accounting for about 20% of the total number. The remaining cavalry would shoot arrows at those already in front of them before running to the end.

The Qin army formed a group with square infantry fighting.

Although there were accidental injuries, these arrows caused great casualties to the Qin army and gave hope to the Jie Zhao infantry who were already on the verge of despair.

But that's all. Under the squeeze of the army behind them, the cavalry who came first will eventually dismount to join the battle. Once the cavalry dismounts, they may not be able to adapt to the change of role for a while, and may not be as good as in some aspects.

Infantry, they were instantly separated and surrounded by the mandarin duck formation that came like a torrent of water, and fell into the dilemma of fighting on their own.

Soldiers on both sides continued to join. In this narrow area, the ground was covered with a thick layer of corpses. The blood flowing out of the corpses, washed by the rain, gathered into red runoffs, heading towards the low-lying areas.

The air is filled with the disgusting smell of blood. It is conceivable that after the war is over, weeds will grow like crazy on this land, because the blood on the ground provides them with sufficient nutrients.

share.

The unattended horses blocked the cavalry from behind, so they had to drive the horses away first. As a result, the horses ran around, and the Qin army had no time to collect them. A considerable number of horses rushed into the battlefield.

There are horses among people, and there are people among horses. Some horses are frightened and kicking wildly.

The Fang soldiers all posed a great threat, and some injured horses were even more aroused and ran wildly in one direction. Wherever they passed, both the Qin army and the Jie army were bruised.

Bones were broken, people and horses were mixed on the battlefield, horses neighed and people roared, which invisibly made the entire war more chaotic.

Time passed slowly, and the shouts of killing were still loud. At first glance, the scene was complicated and dazzling. Although the addition of Murong's cavalry caused considerable casualties to the Qin army, they had short spears that they could throw, and they could shoot at close range.

, the powerful and heavy short spear can even penetrate the giant shield, but when you reach the end of the passage, you still have to dismount to fight. The Qin army always used the Yuanyang Formation or the Five Elements Formation to defeat the enemy, firmly holding the initiative in the war.

Shi Hu's complexion became increasingly gloomy. Although he did not understand the structure and mystery of the Yuanyang Formation, one thing he knew clearly was that his side was in a disadvantageous situation.

A trace of regret flashed through Shi Hu's heart. He regretted that he had misjudged the situation and should not have ordered the cavalry to follow the infantry. Instead, he continued to fill the trenches with bags of mud and sand, creating many breaches for the Qin army to take care of.

This end, but not the other end, is busy with flowers everywhere to launch an all-out offensive.

But now it's good, all his army has been artificially compressed into one piece, and everything is carried out according to the arrangements of the Qin army, although the war has burned to the middle area on the east side of Jianzhang Palace, and is slowly spreading to the surrounding areas.

, however, the Qin army always had enough men to form an encirclement, and they had the upper hand with a formation they had never seen before. If this continued, Shi Hu couldn't help but tremble.

But, who can be blamed? The battlefield situation is unpredictable. Even the best commander cannot guarantee that he will have a perfect plan. Yunfeng cannot, and neither can Shihu! No one could have expected this before.

The toad cart and wooden donkey abandoned on the ground will be the key to the development of the battle!

Shi Hu has been caught in a dilemma. If he continues to fight, another defeat will not be far away. However, Ming Jin withdraws his troops. At this time, the two armies are already intertwined and mixed together. You can guess without thinking that Ming Jin's withdrawal of troops will only lead to the defeat of his own side.

Worse!

For a moment, Shi Hu inexplicably had the idea of ​​admitting defeat, but he was immediately suppressed. He lost again and again, three times in a row, and his beloved Zheng Yingtao was also kidnapped alive in front of the two armies.

How embarrassed was he to lead his remaining troops to retreat to Guandong in such a dejected manner, and how could he have the face to face the many mocking looks from Xiang Guo?

Scenes of myself being poked and poked by others and making sarcastic comments behind my back suddenly came to mind.

"Look, this is General Hussar. I heard he came back from defeat!"

"It's so pitiful. It doesn't count the defeat. Even a beautiful woman like Zheng Yingtao was snatched away from her. I'm afraid she's still enjoying herself under King Qin's crotch!"

"The Cavalry General is no longer the invincible God of War in the army. With this defeat, the strength of our Jie people has been greatly reduced, and the period of annihilation is right in front of us!"

"This man is really a sinner of our great Zhao. He brought out more than 200,000 elites, but only less than 100,000 escaped. How will he be able to resist Qin's eastward advance in the future? I ask the king to behead Shi Hu immediately to show to the public.

To apologize to the people of Zhao!"

"No!"

Shi Hu suddenly let out a howl, "Pu Chi~~!" A mouthful of blood spurted out in the air, and his face was as pale as paper for an instant. With his skill, his body was unstable, and there were signs that he would fall from the horse at any time!

All the generals were shocked and stunned. They also saw that the battle situation was not good, but they did not expect that Shi Hu would have such a big reaction and vomited blood for the first time in his life!

"General, what's wrong with you?"

"General, are you okay?"

The generals quickly gathered around and looked at Shi Hu anxiously. They understood that the reason why their army was invincible was all due to Shi Hu. In the eyes of outsiders, Shi Hu killed many people and was unforgiving, but in Jie

In people's eyes, Shi Hu's prestige is second only to their king Shi Le. With every victory,

It has brought them a prosperous life and luxurious enjoyment. More importantly, the mentality of the entire Jie clan is also full of confidence. They are no longer slaves who are stepped on and humiliated wantonly. They are no longer ignorant of themselves.

He is a bastard of origin, but he is the ruler of this vast land, a human superior!

Shi Hu quickly mixed the surging energy and blood, waved his hand and said: "I will be fine, you don't have to worry. This battle is about the life and death of our country, Zhao. Everyone must go all out! Send an order to mobilize 40,000 troops in the camp.

Attack Jianzhang Palace with me!"

"Yes!" the guard hurried away.

The Jie generals were stunned for a moment. There were 110,000 troops in front of them participating in the battle. Shi Hu led 50,000 troops to guard the formation, and the total strength of the entire army was 220,000. In other words, only 60,000 troops remained in the camp.

Now another 40,000 people have been transferred here, leaving only 20,000 people to guard the camp. This is a decisive battle with the Qin army. No one expected that they would fight the Qin army in such an unfavorable situation. This is obviously a desperate move.
