Da Wei Chun

Chapter 513

Facing Han Qi, Fu Luo has fallen into a difficult situation and a dilemma.And the formation of several miles away made Commander Hu Qi even more like a nightmare.

At the beginning of the battle, Li Chengzhi dispatched [-]% of the cavalry.There are only three battalions left in the Chinese army to prepare for emergencies.Therefore, there is no threat to Hu Jun's scouts at all.The military formation was scouted carefully by him:

More than ten thousand pawns formed a square formation.There is only one half zhang wide ditch on the outside, and inside the ditch is a circle of empty cars.Archers use chariots as shields and draw their bows ready to go.

Further inside, there is a layer of sparse cannon formations. The number of stone cannons is one of the few. It looks very small, and at most it can throw stone bullets weighing [-] to [-] catties.

The rest are spearmen, surrounded in the middle.

The standard defensive formation is like a turtle. Although it looks big, its shell is not very thick.

It's just because the formation of chariots and the ditch are like nothing to more than ten thousand Huqi, and they can be filled up in two or three strokes.

In Hu Shuai's view, this formation is extremely easy to break: harassing with a small number of rangers will damage his arrows and consume his energy.At the same time, look for weak points in the formation, and when they are exhausted and paralyzed, break them suddenly with heavy cavalry.

As long as a hole can be torn open, the formation of the Han army is like a sand dam covered by water, and it will collapse in an instant.

It's a pity that the dream is beautiful, but the reality is very weak.

When the first wave of Rangers arrived about a hundred paces ahead of the formation, rockets scattered all over the sky like a meteor shower.

It's not that Hu Shuai didn't expect the Han army to use this trick. After all, when the scouts scouted, they emphasized that there were many torches standing in the car formation.

It is daytime now, the shining sun is as big, and there is no need for lighting, so nine out of ten the fire is used to ignite arrows, stone bombs and other things.

It was not the first time to fight against the Han army, and Hu Shuai didn't care much about it.Because before breaking the formation, Hu Qi was only [-] paces away, this distance was extremely embarrassing for the archers, just when the new strength was not born, and the old strength was no longer continued.

Not to mention that Hu pawns are all wearing half armor, even if they are not armored, the thrown arrows will not do much damage to them.For horses, it's more like scratching an itch, and at most it just rubs off a few hairs.

As for stone cannons and the like, because the attacks are too sparse, even if they are hit directly, there will only be one or two casualties, which is almost the same as none.

Even with rockets and fire bombs, it is impossible to directly ignite the armor and horse body, so Hu Shuai is very strange, thinking why the Han army should do so much?
But when the first round of arrow rain fell, he realized how wrong he was.

Ordinary arrows, even rockets, as long as they can't penetrate armor or horse hide, they will generally be bounced off.But this time, as long as the arrows fell on the people and horses, they would not fall in six out of ten, as if they were stuck?
That's all, after all, the arrows shot from fifty paces away have not much strength and can't do much damage.

But the strange thing is that the arrow was coated with something, and it caught fire wherever it touched, whether it was iron armor or horsehide.

The horse was startled in pain, five or six of the ten riders were thrown off the horse.

People were even more frightened and panicked, thinking that even iron can catch fire, let alone people?

Frightened, the soldiers all rushed to beat them.But no matter what thing was pressed on it, not only the fire was not extinguished, but the thing that put it on the fire also ignited.

Some waved their hands, screaming as if they were dancing with two torches, rushing about like headless flies.Some held a knife that was ignited by fire, and were stunned as if they had seen a ghost.There are also those who eagerly untie their armor, and take off their clothes in three or five strokes.

Another round of arrow rain came, like moving fireballs, and there were miserable howls everywhere.

Hu Shuai's hands and feet were cold and he was sweating profusely.

What is this, even iron can ignite, like maggots attached to bones.

Demons, sorcerers?
So far, how dare he have the idea of ​​breaking the formation.Immediately, the golden gong was rang, and all the remaining rangers were called back to the formation.

But Li Chengzhi has always been in control, how could he be so relaxed?

As soon as Hu Jun's rangers retreated, three big drums sounded suddenly in the Han army camp.

Hu Shuai was startled: How could he not know that they have been attacking each other for many years, this is the order of the Han army to counterattack?
Sure enough, as soon as the drums fell, the front line of the Han army was like a flood breaking the embankment, pressing down like a mountain.

At this point, Hu Shuai understood why the Han army only dug a ditch, and there was only a chariot formation in the ditch, and even a few refusal horses to block the cavalry did not stand outside the formation?

It was because Han Shuai concluded that Hu Qi would definitely not be able to get close to the formation.And in order to make it easier for one's own side to launch a counterattack, the defense arrangement is so simple.

He really guessed right: if it weren't for the fact that Hu Qi would not dare to approach due to suspicion, Li Chengzhi would have been lazy to dig this trench.

The distance between the two formations was nearly three miles, and the Han army was all infantry, and they would not be able to attack for a while, so although Hu Shuai was shocked, he was not panicked yet.

He looked very carefully: the Han army's front formation was full of spearmen, very close to each other, but the formation was not thick, at most twenty layers, and less than five feet deep, almost man next to man, with guns squeezing guns.

Then there are archers, but they are completely opposite to the infantry, the distance between them is extremely wide, and there is half a zhang between each pawn.

But the strange thing is, behind the archers, there is another layer of chariots?
No...it's not a car formation, it should be a car driver pulling arrows.Regardless of the fact that there was no quiver on the bow soldier, he held a bow in his hand.

He suddenly realized: the spearmen in the front line were only used as horses to resist riding, no wonder the spears were so long, five feet long.

The killer weapon of the Han army should be the bow pawns behind the spear array.

Thinking of the scene just now, Hu Shuai shivered: That rocket can ignite even iron armor...

If it's normal, you can't fight back.Even infantry with eight legs cannot catch up with cavalry with horses.

But the most important thing is that today his part is only for containment, and the frontal battlefield is [-] Hu cavalry against the nearly [-] cavalry of the Han army.

If he was about to retire, what would Fu Luo and Murong Gao do?
If he moved away from the southern flank and allowed the Han army to move closer to the rear of the Chinese army, Fu Luo and Murong Gao would be attacked from the front and back, and the morale of the army would be disturbed.

Hu Shuai gritted his teeth fiercely, and roared sharply: "Get off the horse, stand up..."

Haha ...

Diao Zheng almost laughed out loud when he saw Hu Qi dismounted from his horse and formed a circle around the horses as a shield wall, while the soldiers huddled inside the wall and were gathering arrows.

Hu people know how to fight like a bird?
It is also because Murong Xianbei has a relatively high degree of Sinicization, so he learned a little bit from the Han people.At least he knows how to use a war horse as a shield wall.

If it was Rouran, as long as he left the horse, he would definitely not even fight...

Secretly laughing, he accidentally saw Li Chengzhi's gloomy face, which was full of admiration.

When forming the formation in the middle of the night, Diao Zheng was terrified, thinking that Junjun Li had set up such a defenseless formation, wouldn't he send the beautiful woman stripped naked to the villain?
Even relying on the power of the thunder, Li Daoyuan's cavalry should be able to defeat Fu Luo.However, if one's own formation loses, not only will it be difficult to overcome the disadvantage, but it may also suffer even greater losses.

After all, Hu Jun is all cavalry, even if they are defeated, the casualties will not be too heavy.And if one's own infantry is defeated, the army will definitely be defeated and can only be slaughtered by Hu Qi.

Diao Zheng even thought about trying to persuade Li Chengzhi to divide that day's thunder into half of the formation.

But he was frightened by Li Chengzhi's majesty, and Li Chengzhi, as the coach, had to sit in command of the infantry.There must be other considerations, so Diao Zheng didn't dare to talk too much.

Unexpectedly, although Li Chengzhi did not equip the formation with sky thunders, he only equipped them with rockets and the like.And it's just that rockets have such power?
But seeing that the victory is in sight, not only is there no joy on Li Jungong's face, but it is gloomy?
Could it be that there is still a crisis that I have not seen through?

Diao Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "Is there anything wrong with asking the Duke?"

It's not just wrong, it's just terrible.

Li Chengzhi stood on the top floor of the cloud car, with a height of three feet, so he had an excellent view.

In the frontal battlefield, Fu Luo's cavalry was in chaos. As long as Li Daoyuan worked harder, he would be defeated sooner or later.

And the [-] Huqi on the south wing have been divided into two groups, one uses horses as shields and forms an iron barrel formation.The other one wandered outside the Han army's formation slowly advancing eastward.But frightened by the power of the rocket, he dared not even approach within a hundred paces.

In this way, Hu Jun will be defeated if he can't persist for another hour at most.

But Volo is not blind, let alone an idiot, and he can still watch the imminent defeat and remain indifferent?
As long as the infantry gets closer and threatens his rear, Fu Luo will definitely retreat.

As for Fang cavalry, there are only more than [-] cavalry, even if they are chasing, how many can they chase and kill?
It can be regarded as a small victory, but Li Chengzhi rushed here in a hurry, is it just to give Fu Luo a blow?

He originally planned that at least half of the [-] Hu Qi should be buried here to achieve his strategic goal.

The method is also very simple: first use rockets and cannon barrels to force Fu Luo back, and when the northern part of Baili Beach is free, let Li Song lay mines in the beach.

There is no need for many, just seven or eight places, three to five hundred for each place.

Then repeat the old trick, and force Fu Luo to the north.Whether it's him retreating strategically, or trying to fight to the death.As long as the army passes by here, all thunder will be launched, and the Hu army will be defeated.

At that time, the army will be defeated like a mountain. As long as all the cavalry are sent out to pursue, Li Chengzhi is [-] sure to kill more than half of the Hu cavalry prisoners.

With the power of Tuyuhun all over the country, such a big excitement can be gathered several times.Even if Fu Lianchou didn't cry and faint in the toilet, it would still make him feel so distressed that he would bleed.In a short period of time, he would never dare to take advantage of Wei again.

But the sky failed to fulfill people's wishes, and Li Chengzhi could only sigh deeply, secretly thinking that it was a pity.

He has predicted countless times that when explosives appear in the world, how much shock it will cause to the world, and what earth-shaking changes will occur in the war in the cold weapon era.

But he never expected that before using explosives, just rockets, cannon barrels and the like, the original battle of luring the enemy would be turned into a battle of extermination?
He had already expected that after this battle, Voloding would be a coward to the end.If you are not fully sure, you will never be the first bird again.

After all, the cavalry has four ways to retreat, so Fu Luo will avoid fighting and swim without attacking, which will definitely make Li Chengzhi sick to death.

It's strange, Tuyuhun came too fast and too fast, while Li Chengxue's firearms came too late and too late.

The current strategy is to win this game first.

Li Chengzhi also did not make any move to order Li Daoyuan, Yuan Zhi, Li Liang, etc. to suspend their attacks and paralyze the enemy at this moment.

That's not self-confidence, but courting death...

"Order: Order the infantry to speed up and encircle the dismounted cavalry on the south wing as soon as possible... If the Hu cavalry wandering outside the formation block the formation, use the spear formation to attack. At the same time, the rockets will be fired at the same time, and they will be able to break the resistance...

Order Li Song's troops to stop the deployment, and drive quickly to the west. If Fu Luo can deploy on the western front before retreating, he will use thunder...

Then order Li Liang, if the enemy shows signs of retreating, he will order the Jingzhou Third Brigade and Li Zhang's Artillery Brigade to charge, remember: everything is mainly to kill the enemy, don't spare the thunder and firearms...

Then order Li Sima: Before retreating, Fu Luo will definitely leave a part of his rear.I ask him to decide according to the actual situation: if he is sure of dividing up the troops, he can pursue Fu Luo's headquarters... Tell him, you can relax as much as possible, Fu Luoding will not dare to stop and fight back, at most he will leave another part..."

The messengers agreed in unison, and in a few breaths, dozens of horsemen rushed out from under the cloud chariot.

With a slight tilt, the drums in the formation sounded loudly and continuously.Following the orders of the battalions, the infantry trotted to the beat of the drums.

At this time, the infantry was still one mile away from Hu Zu's cavalry, even though the archers didn't carry quiver, but they were also wearing half armor, and when they ran to the ground, they didn't have much strength left.Instinctively shoot a hundred steps upwards, but by then I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot even fifty steps.

But Li Chengzhi had other plans.

If I was not mistaken, at this time Fu Luo was already quite shocked.Seeing all the Han troops charging, one must think that Li Chengzhi wanted to cut off his back.

I was three-point suspicious, but seeing this situation will definitely be seven-point.And between the dilemma, Fu Luoding would hesitate.You might make the wrong choice.

Li Chengzhi's purpose is to make Fu Luo mess up and kill Hu Qi as much as possible, killing one as much as possible.

It's better than Fu Luo's orderly retreat of the whole army...

Sure enough, not long after the sound of the drums in the Han army's middle formation, Hu Jun suddenly changed.

First, there was a rush of horns, and You Ge's Hu Qi on the south wing of the formation suddenly dispersed, like a flock of birds that had been startled out of the woods, and they all moved westward, and escaped a mile or two in the blink of an eye.

Don't you say that blocking the Han army's infantry formation directly abandoned the half of the dismounted companions?
Li Chengzhi was not happy but was startled, and frowned fiercely: "If you want to suffer, the [-] Huqi in the south are afraid to escape?"
as predicted.

The horse array two miles away has already opened a hole, and it is thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.It was like a round fish pond was opened, and countless fish fry rushed out with the current, so dense that it made one's scalp tingle.

Looking at the two battles that were nearly half a mile away, Li Chengzhi slammed his fist on the railing of the cloud car.

He had hoped that Hu Jun's cavalry would last until the end, and at least [-]% or [-]% of his cavalry would be swallowed up by his cavalry.

But who would have thought that Hu Shuai would react so quickly?
No, it was Volo who reacted quickly.

If there is no Fu Luozhi's military order, Hu Shuai'an of this department would dare to abandon the commander and flee without a fight?
Looking at him again, Fu Luo's central army really started to move, hundreds of cavalry after hundreds of cavalry broke away from the main formation and retreated.

As soon as Li Liang's fire tube soldiers and artillery cavalry urged their horses, nearly two thousand cavalry greeted them from the north wing, like a giant knife lying in front of Li Liang and Fu Luo's center formation.

Li Chengzhi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: Fu Luo, Fu Luo, what about the vigor with which you marched forty miles in two days, step by step?

Why is it like a mouse, unable to bear the slightest fright?
