Datang New Order

ps: Thank you Eagle Week\Seven Styles\Bloodland Life for your reward.

Li Siyuan was commanding the Han army in his headquarters to set up formations and prepare to attack the Yan army camp in Pingqiu, when suddenly he heard continuous clear and crisp explosions from the Yan army camp, and white clouds rising high in the sky, its shape was very strange.

A sergeant yelled: "Yaoyun! The five thunders rectify the law!..."

Li Siyuan already knew that this was a method of communication by the Yan army, and immediately reprimanded: "This is an enemy rocket, whoever speaks nonsense will be punished as a way to confuse the army!"

While he was wondering, he saw the south gate of the Pingqiu camp slowly opened, and the Yan army from the brigade came out, rushing towards their own formation with small steps.Li Siyuan quickly ordered the sergeants to be ready to fight the enemy.

Ren Huan on the side suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, looking at the situation, is it possible that the Yan army is about to break through?"

Li Siyuan nodded: "The rucksack behind the sergeant of the Yan army is very full, it is supposed to be supplies and other things, judging from this posture, it seems that he is about to escape."

When he was busy directing his elite soldiers to gather in the direction where the Yan army was attacking, Ren Huan approached his horse and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the so-called poor should not chase after us. Our Han army has already suffered a lot. Face to face interception, I am afraid that the casualties will be particularly heavy. At this critical time, we must not fight profusely. If the soldiers suffer too much damage, how will our South Korea gain a foothold in the world in the future?"

Li Siyuan was stunned: "You mean..."

Ren Huan pointed to the Pingqiu camp and said: "The Yan army came out lightly, and the luggage should be stationed in the camp. The first thing for His Royal Highness is to seize the camp as soon as possible, so as not to burn the Yan army. As for the fugitives, the king of Jin is not Have you prepared an army and waited for them? Why should I worry about waiting!"

Li Siyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, patted Ren Huan on the shoulder and said: "Well, you Ren Sanyuan, it's really thanks to this awakening, otherwise you will really miss a big deal!"

Li Siyuan's Han army lost all the cavalry in the Battle of Shibeng Shanxi, which was a huge loss.Ren Huan's plan is more far-reaching, if the Han army does not take as many captured as possible to restore its strength.The future status will inevitably be very embarrassing.Ren Huan was reminding Li Siyuan that he should stop using his elites to fight desperately, and that the fleeing Yan army should be dealt with by Zhou Dewei and Li Sizhao's soldiers. Li Siyuan's most urgent task was to seize the supplies in the Pingqiu camp.

Han Jun immediately gave way to the blocked road, allowing Zhou Kan's troops who had abandoned the camp to pass through smoothly. Li Siyuan dispatched men to seize the camp, and at the same time sent people to report to Zhou Dewei, saying that he had broken the Yan Army's camp and was fighting with him. The enemy fought fiercely.He reminded Zhou Dewei that a Yan army took advantage of the chaos and fled south.Let Zhou Dewei be careful and keep this remnant enemy behind.

Zhou Dewei heard that Li Siyuan had broken the Yan army's camp, so he didn't have the heart to attack him, so he hurriedly organized his troops and pursued to the south. At the same time, he informed Li Sizhao to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and attack Xijiayan Village together with him. .

To the north of the Pingqiu camp, Li Sizhao was preparing to send troops to attack the Yan army camp.Suddenly seeing the "demon clouds" floating above the Yan Army camp, I was startled and suspicious.After watching it for a long time, I was thinking about the meaning of this, but I heard the deafening sound of fighting from the south of the Yan army's camp.So he woke up, knowing that the Yan army might be about to break through.

Li Sizhao immediately made a decisive decision and ordered the army to launch a fierce attack.The soldiers shouted and rushed across the ditch, removed the deer stockade, cut the tripwire, and then pushed hard to the gate of the stockade.But it was found that the Yan army's camp had been empty.

The Yan army came out lightly, and all the supplies and equipment were abandoned in place, except for those large equipment such as catapults and ballistas, which were completely destroyed.Food and fodder, cattle and sheep, tents, firewood, ropes, felt blankets and other materials were all preserved intact, and scattered copper coins, gold and silver, etc. were scattered in many places in the camp.

The Zheng army under Li Sizhao originally came from the old Hedong army, and the deep-rooted looting habits of the old Hedong army were completely preserved.After seeing so many good things, Zheng Jun's various military leaders were already red-eyed, and without Li Sizhao's order, they ordered their headquarters to plunder frantically.

The Zheng army came from the north, and the Han army came from the south. The two armies spread like locusts, and gradually met near the center line.Immediately afterwards, the sergeants of the Zheng and Han armies began to clash with each other, forming a serious confrontation, and finally a fierce fighting broke out in a grain village full of grain.The two sides refused to give in, and at any time, more than ten soldiers died on the spot.

The battle began to spread from the Liangzhai. Thousands of soldiers from both sides fought in various places. The battle was more intense than when they attacked the Yan army.It wasn't until Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan arrived that the two sides gave up temporarily and retreated, but they still held their weapons tightly and glared at each other.

When the Zheng and Han armies were fighting in the Pingqiu camp, Zhou Kan had already led his troops to retreat to the south for about two miles. He was very pleased at the thought of being able to rush out of the encirclement with more than 3000 soldiers.It's just a mere treasure, if you lose it, you lose it. Compared with the military equipment piled up in Xiangyuan and Luzhou City, Zhou Kan doesn't care about this little thing, but it can be used to cover his retreat. This deal is worth it!

In another two miles, they will be able to rush out of the Nangou River Channel and arrive at Xijiayan Village. At that time, they will have a round with Zhao Zaili, and they can still rely on Xiangyuan to delay the attack of the Allied Forces of the Three Kings.At this time, Zhou Kan didn't know the news that Wuxiang had been captured by his own side, so his plan was still to delay as much as possible and buy time.

Suddenly there was a sound of clappers, and a group of enemy soldiers rushed out of the nearby mountains and ravines, and came towards the Yan army head-on.This enemy army was not cavalry, so Zhou Kan was not afraid. He paused for a while to rest, and charged forward after finishing his formation.

Zhou Kan's purpose was to break out of the encirclement, so the formation kept an attacking posture. In front were the regular Guizhou army soldiers, leading the way with heavy armored spearmen, the two flanks were covered by sword and shield soldiers, and the middle was light soldiers. The Jiagong Crossbow Battalion and more than 2000 supplementary battalion sergeants followed behind.

The order of attack is that the bow and crossbow battalion first releases arrows, then the heavy armored spearmen stab, and the two flanks are covered by sword and shield soldiers.After the first row of heavy armored spearmen stabbed, the second row rushed quickly, crossing the first row to stab, followed by the third row... The whole thrusting process was like a wheel rolling.

The intercepted infantry of the Three Kings Alliance Army received the order to attack in a hurry, so the formation was not as good as that of the Yan Army. Under the thrust of the Yan Army's heavy armor, they quickly collapsed.However, they also bought a certain amount of time for the follow-up intercepting troops. As the Yan army continued to attack, Zhou Kan found that the attack speed slowed down significantly.

The Yan army has heavy armor and a relatively neat attack formation. It clearly has an advantage in the battle. Where the two armies meet, they can always maintain a posture of continuous breakthrough.However, the individual combat power of the Three Kings Alliance Army is very strong, and the cooperation between the teams is also extremely skilled.So it is always possible to keep the interception line from being completely overwhelmed.

After Zhou Dewei arrived in person, the combat method of the coalition forces of the three kings changed. Zhou Dewei commanded the coalition forces to surround the Yan army from both sides, and kept attacking the sword and shield soldiers protecting the flanks of the Yan army, effectively delaying the Yan army's breakthrough With momentum, many Yan Army sergeants were immediately besieged and killed after being placed alone, and all Yan Army sergeants who could not keep up with the brigade or were accidentally separated died here.

Zhou Dewei watched the battle from a high ground. Whenever the Yan army broke through an interception, he quickly mobilized new troops to build a second interception line in front. Sometimes the Yan army's attack was a little slower.He even built a third line of interception.

After watching for a long time, Zhou Dewei not only sighed: "Although I can't see the bravery of the soldiers of the Yan Army, the military discipline is really strict. We are trapped by our army, but we still don't see any difficulties. It is really a strong army... Well, there are so many bows and crossbows. Whether it's armor or armor, after this battle, a certain class can be considered to have gained a lot."

The officers under his command nodded one after another.Look at each other in admiration.

While directing the encirclement of the Yan army, an officer suddenly reminded: "Your Highness, please look to the south!" But the smoke and dust suddenly rose, and the horseshoes were like thunder.A group of cavalry came rushing from a distance, they were the ones sent to Xijiayan Village to lure the enemy, but this group of cavalry seemed to be much smaller, the number was already less than [-].Followed by a larger cavalry.It seems that there are more than three thousand, and there is a big "Zhao" on the flag.

Zhou Dewei was overjoyed: "The cavalry of the Yan army is dispatched! Left and right, immediately order the Black Crow Army to attack. Don't let a Yan cavalry escape!"

With the arrival of Zhao Zaili's reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield changed, and two battle groups appeared on the Nangou River Passage.In the battle group to the north, the infantry of the Yan army under Zhou Kan was working hard to go south, breaking through the interception line of the Three Kings Alliance Army layer by layer; in another battle group more than a mile to the south, Zhao Zaili was leading the cavalry to fight The Black Crow Army's cavalry fought hard, and at the same time they desperately approached Zhou Kan's troops.

The Black Crow Army deserves to be the foundation of the old Hedong Army's township. Regardless of the officers and cavalry, all of them are good at riding and fighting. Among them, those who can be called "riding and shooting" are often one out of ten.In this regard, Zhao Zaili's Liaodong Security Army cavalry is incomparable.Fortunately, there was a cavalry battalion from the Guizhou Army to assist in the battle. The cavalry hand crossbows they equipped were so powerful that they almost offset the cavalry advantage of the Black Crow Army cavalry.

The two groups of cavalry met each other and fired at each other at a distance of fifty steps, and dozens of cavalry fell off their horses.

The Black Crow Army ranks in the forefront are all good cavalry and archers. After shooting a round, they steer their horses to the sides. They will not engage in expendable fighting of cavalry hedging. It is a huge waste. Their task is to Walk outside the battle formation, flanking the enemy with superb riding and shooting skills.

After the front row dodged to the sides, the Black Crow Army revealed the cavalry charging behind them, and then... another round of crossbow arrows was headed towards them, and then another round. In just fifty steps, the Black Crow Army cavalry company hit the ground. Three rounds.

In the exchanges between the old Hedong Army and the old Lulong Army, the cavalry hand crossbow has always been a military material that Lulong has banned from exporting. Maybe Hedong can get some, and the leaders among them can understand the power of this sharp weapon to some extent, but I want to do it for them. It is impossible to change the tactical habits formed over the past few decades without painful lessons.

Hundreds of crossbow-armed cavalry from the Guizhou Army suddenly caused the Black Crow Army's elite cavalry to suffer a great loss. Three consecutive rounds of crossbow arrows immediately tore a wide opening in the Black Crow Army's cavalry formation. The opening is consistent and breaks through directly.

Zhou Dewei couldn't help gasping for such power and influence, he lost hundreds of elite cavalry in just one encounter, and this kind of casualty made him heartbroken.It's a pity that he didn't know that most of the enemy troops on the opposite side didn't have such sophisticated equipment, and he didn't know that after the three rounds of crossbow arrows, it would take a long time for the enemy troops to reinstall the crossbow, so he missed the excellent opportunity for fighting.

Although Zhou Dewei was very confident of winning, he didn't want to suffer too much damage, so he ordered all the ministries to focus on fighting instead of desperately blocking.He put his hope of destroying the enemy army and expanding the results of the battle on the expected subsequent collapse of the enemy army. As long as the morale of the enemy army collapses, what he has to do is very simple-lead the army to cover up and kill. (to be continued..)
