The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440 Killing Jiang Qin ([-])

When Shi Guangyuan saw that Liu Chan's order was so orderly, he couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart. It seems that the son's mission to Jingzhou this time has really made great progress in military strategy.According to his current growth rate, it might not be a dream to unify China in the future.

Not long after Liu Chan sent the order down, I saw the steel gun in Jiang Qin's hand raised high, then fell down again, obviously an order to attack.

After receiving the order, the cavalry team of nearly a thousand beside Jiang Qin waved their weapons and rushed towards Liu Chan's Chinese army formation aggressively.

The formation of this cavalry team is the wedge formation with the most powerful impact.But the strange thing is that the infantry phalanx behind them just followed up at a slow speed?From this point of view, Jiang Qin doesn't seem to take Liu Chan's army seriously!
Liu Chan's eyes flashed brightly, and he secretly scolded Jiang Qin for being arrogant, because he would never use the mixed combat method of infantry and cavalry!It seems that it is absolutely difficult for him to escape this time!
The enemy army is getting closer and closer, and even the vibration from the ground can already be felt.

At this time, there was no need for Liu Chan to send another order, and the bow and arrow teams distributed in the three-winged phalanx had all drawn their bows and arrows under the command of their respective generals.As long as their commander gives an order, the arrows can be shot.

It can be seen that the soldiers of this army who have been fighting with Cao Wei's army for more than half a year have already had very rich experience in dealing with the enemy's cavalry, and they were not overwhelmed by the momentum of the opponent's cavalry.This is the experience honed through countless battles and the blood of many soldiers, which is extremely precious.

Liu Chan calculated the distance between each other, 150 meters, 130 meters, 120 meters... This is definitely the best distance for archers to shoot.

Sure enough, the voices of shouting "Three salvos, let go!", the sound of bowstrings, and the whizzing sound of long arrows piercing the air could be heard all at once.

Three shots of bows and arrows passed by, and one after another among the enemy soldiers fell from their horses.However, since they were all wearing armor to protect their bodies, the number of people hit by arrows was not too many, and the damage to their combat effectiveness was not very great.Therefore, their goal remains the same, and the entire cavalry team is still charging towards Liu Chan's army formation!

Liu Chan sneered and nodded towards Liao Hua and the others. Zhao Feng led Shi Hui and Zuo Fu to the left wing, and Liao Hua led Liao Sheng to the right wing.

At this time, Liu Chan gave an order and shouted loudly: "The two wings do not move, and the Chinese army advances 30 meters to meet the enemy!"

Then, Liu Chan and Shi Guangyuan were escorted by a hundred guards and ran towards the rear.This place will soon become the front line, and it is no longer suitable for them to stay.

And the distance of 20 meters mentioned by Liu Chan is actually the place where the entire army formation breaks into a third of the hillside of the small hill.If the enemy army wanted to come over to fight Liu Chan's Chinese army, they had to rush up two-thirds of the hillside.At that time, the speed of the cavalry will be reduced accordingly, and the impact will of course be reduced accordingly.

Soon, there was a bang, the first contact between the armies of the two sides.

The war finally kicked off.

Since the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army now have rich experience in fighting cavalry, when they faced the charge of the cavalry, even the soldiers standing in the first row did not show much fear.

They just held the spears in their hands tightly. Once they let go, what they will face next is definitely the enemy's horses will knock them into the air, or their horseshoes will crush them to pieces!
The enemy's cavalry team is obviously not well trained, so compared with Cao Wei's cavalry team, there is indeed a big gap in momentum.This indeed gave the infantry of the Jingzhou Army enough courage to face this cavalry.

Therefore, the soldiers in the front row, only after losing some manpower, firmly defended their front, keeping the formation of their infantry phalanx extremely complete.

Liu Chan immediately ordered the bow and arrow team that had retreated to the back to start free shooting at the enemy cavalry team in front of them. Many enemies were shot down by their horses and trampled into a pile of flesh and blood by their own horses.

At this time, the infantry team led by Jiang Qin had already arrived 150 meters away.The unremarkable performance of his own cavalry team was all in his eyes.

An angry light flashed in Jiang Qin's eyes.He originally thought that using cavalry to deal with an army with low morale against the enemy should be easier to disperse.But now it seems that when the enemy soldiers dealt with the cavalry's attack, they not only looked very calm, but also had a lot of experience.

Jiang Qin couldn't help feeling a little anxious, secretly hating himself for being too big.He suddenly remembered that the Jingzhou army in front of him, among other things, was led by Guan Yu and had fought fiercely with Cao Wei's army countless times. How could it be unfamiliar with the cavalry?

Moreover, what made Jiang Qin even more concerned was that the formation of this cavalry team was personally ordered by the lord Sun Quan.Soochow has always been extremely short of horses. A few years ago, Ling Tong, who was in charge of the guard under Sun Quan, had only 300 cavalry under him.At that time, General Zhang Liao, who almost killed Sun Quan, had 300 guards under him, all of whom were elite cavalry.

This shows how precious war horses and cavalry are to Soochow.Therefore, when Sun Quan handed over this cavalry team to Jiang Qin, he was very reluctant.

Therefore, now that Jiang Qin saw that the cavalry team was losing more and more in the battle with the Jingzhou army, he suddenly became a little flustered.It can be seen that Jiang Qin is indeed a general who is not very good at using cavalry to fight.

So, Jiang Qin sent an order to let all the infantry phalanx rush forward immediately to help the cavalry fight.

Liu Chan and Shi Guangyuan saw Jiang Qin's performance clearly on the hill, and they couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Shi Guangyuan said to Liu Chan at this time: "My son, I think you can temporarily retreat our central army for a while."

Liu Chan was taken aback when he heard that, the Chinese army is now facing the enemy's cavalry team, which is completely able to withstand it, but why did Mr. Shi take the initiative to retreat a certain distance?

Liu Chan asked, "Why did you do this, sir?"

Shi Guangyuan smiled and said, "I want to wipe out the enemy's cavalry, together with that stupid Jiang Qin."

Liu Chan suddenly realized and understood Shi Guangyuan's intentions.The central phalanx of the Jingzhou Army said it was retreating, but it was actually luring the enemy to go deeper.At that time, the left and right wings of your own army will be divided again, and the space for their activities will be gradually compressed in a roundabout way, and finally this precious cavalry team of the Wu army can be surrounded and wiped out.

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately sent an order to let the Chinese infantry phalanx retreat 30 meters away.Then, he sent an order to the two cavalry teams hidden behind the hill, telling them to prepare for assaulting the Jiangqin infantry phalanx!

Shi Guangyuan's strategy was indeed effective. As the Jingzhou Army's central formation retreated steadily, the enemy's cavalry continued to advance up the hillside, completely unaware that they had fallen into the enemy's trap.

At this time, Jiang Qin's infantry phalanx had come to the edge of the bottom of the hillside.

Liu Chan immediately issued an order for the entire army to attack.

The infantry on the left and right flanks of Liu Chan's army separated part of the troops and began to detour towards the enemy's cavalry. Most of the remaining troops rushed down the hill to meet Jiang Qin's phalanx of more than 4000 infantry. .

The infantry teams of both sides fought a life-and-death battle on this small hill.

After the two sides fought fiercely for nearly half an hour, Wu Jun's cavalry team had been successfully detoured by Liu Chan's army, almost surrounded on all sides, and the space for movement was greatly compressed.The number of its casualties is increasing rapidly, and now there are less than 700 people left.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin was really angry and anxious.However, the Jingzhou army in front of us not only has the advantage in terms of geography, but also has extremely strong individual combat effectiveness.His army has always been known as the elite, so he dared to launch an attack on the superior enemy army from the beginning, but now he can't shake them at all!

At this time, Liu Chan felt that the two sides had been fighting for so long, and the physical strength of the soldiers had dropped a lot.

Just when Liu Chan turned his head to ask Shi Guangyuan's opinion, Shi Guangyuan spoke.Pointing to the battlefield below, he turned his head and said to Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, our army's cavalry is almost ready to dispatch!"

Shi Guangyuan's opinion really coincides with Liu Chan's.

Liu Chan immediately sent an order to Liao Hua and Zhao Feng to lead their respective cavalry to bypass the small hill and then launch a surprise attack from the left and right flanks of Jiang Qin's army!
Soon, Liu Chan heard the rumbling sound of dense war horses running behind the hill.It seems that Liu Chanjun's cavalry has finally dispatched.

Another quarter of an hour later, Liu Chan saw a faint puff of smoke rising from the left and right sides of the hill.Then, I saw two cavalry teams, suddenly came out from both sides of Jiang Qin's army.

The cavalry team on the left was led by Zhao Feng, with the most powerful white-eared guard as the head.They rushed into the army formation on the right flank of Jiang Qinjun's army at once, and opened a big gap for Jiang Qinjun's army.

The large cavalry team with the largest number of 500 on the right was led by two cousins, Liao Hua and Liao Sheng.As soon as they appeared, they shocked the left wing of Jiang Qin's army at a loss. If Jiang Qin hadn't sent his own guards to defend, there would have been a big defeat.
