The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 688

After the allocation was completed, Sun Huan made small adjustments to the equipment of the troops in the army formation as quickly as possible.He regrouped the bow and arrow team in the army. Except for one-third placed in the right-wing army formation, the remaining two-thirds were all distributed in the central army formation.

The reason why Sun Huan did this is because the central army formation is sunken, and it is the deepest place, which is most conducive to the bow and arrow team's power.

Watching Sun Huan adjust his formation so quickly, Gai Meng also felt admiration.Moreover, the speed of action of his army is obviously higher than that of Sun Huanjun.Therefore, Gai Meng decided to attack first.

However, Gai Meng did not order Xiong Ping's cavalry on the right to attack first this time.He was the one who ordered Meng Xi's mixed infantry and cavalry formation to step forward first.This should be mainly due to the consideration that once he launched an attack, the cavalry on both wings would attack too fast, and Meng Xi's army formation would not be able to keep up with the combat speed, thus tearing up his own front line.

While Sun Huan was quickly adjusting his army just now, Meng Xi was also observing the movement of Sun Huan's army.He made necessary adjustments to the weapons and equipment of his troops according to the actual situation on the battlefield without Gaimeng's order.

When Meng Xi set off this time, he had specially equipped his infantry with two thousand long hexagonal large shields.Therefore, when he saw that General Sun Huan's formation was adjusted into a character shape, he immediately and very wisely foreseen that after Sun Huan's move deepened the depth of the army formation, the next step would be to play the role of the bow and arrow team.Then, the best equipment for the archery team is definitely located in the central army formation!
Therefore, Meng Xi immediately sent an order that all the infantry units under his command gave up the use of light rattan shields and replaced them with long hexagonal shields with a wider protection range.

Moreover, Meng Xi also showed his excellent judgment at this time.After he received Gai Meng's order, he immediately sent out his 2000-man infantry, but the cavalry did not move.

When the entire infantry team of 2000 soldiers came out neatly with their black long hexagonal shields in their hands, there was a rumbling sound as they trampled on the ground, and the ground trembled slightly. .

Sun Huan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes first, and then frowned slightly.

Judging from the equipment of the first infantry team in front of him, Sun Huan immediately judged that the enemy had already seen through that he had re-allocated the position of the archery team!

Sun Huan really had to admire his opponent Gai Menglai in his heart.In fact, how did he know that all of this was arranged by Meng Xi himself.

When Meng Xi's infantry team walked a hundred meters away, Gai Meng realized that something was wrong, because Meng Xi's army was a mixed army of infantry and cavalry. Meng Xi only dispatched the infantry team, but the cavalry team remained on hold of.He immediately sent someone to urge Meng Xi to dispatch the cavalry as soon as possible, as long as he followed the cavalry on both sides, and then followed the cavalry on the left and right flanks to speed up suddenly.

But Meng Xi immediately sent his messengers to explain to Gai Meng that the enemy's central army formation was so deeply recessed that it was a dangerous act to use cavalry to attack it.Therefore, Meng Xi's suggestion is that his central army formation send out infantry with a high degree of defense capability to confront the enemy's central army formation, and use the 1000 cavalry in his hand as the reserve force of the entire army.

So when the time comes, when Gai Meng's left-wing army formation and Xiong Ping's right-wing army formation attack, there is no need to keep the reserve team.

Meng Xi's approach is not only full of creativity, but also shows his dedication.His own strength has weakened, which may eventually affect his military exploits.This is a very simple and clear fact, but Meng Xi doesn't seem to care much about it.

After thinking about it for a while, Gai Meng agreed to Meng Xi's latest suggestion, and sent someone to inform Meng Xi that the deployment of the 1000-man reserve cavalry team would be handed over to him.In other words, Gai Meng also rewarded Meng Xi for his open-mindedness, which was equivalent to handing over the command of the war to Meng Xi when it was time to use the reserve team to participate in the battle.

Meng Xi accepted Gai Meng's order, and his cavalry team stood still for the time being.However, this also means that Meng Xi will then stay in the rear to monitor the situation on the battlefield to decide when and where to use the reserve team to participate in the battle.Therefore, it is impossible for him to go to the battlefield to command the battle of his own infantry.Therefore, Meng Xi had no choice but to ask the herald to issue an order for one of Meng Xi's captains to take over the command of the infantry.

When the infantry team walked out a distance of about 700 meters, this distance was not close.Therefore, Gai Meng immediately issued an order to attack the Xiong Ping army formation on the right.

Xiong Ping gave an order, and his cavalry team started slowly, and the horseshoes began to knock on the front of the ground. Dust began to rise above the military formation, and the color was slightly lighter than the gray of the sky.

Seeing that the Shu Han army's right-wing cavalry finally moved, Sun Huan's hands tightened, obviously because he felt a little nervous in his heart.It is impossible for him to continue to stand still now. He needs to suppress the movement distance of the enemy cavalry a little bit, and he can also use the opportunity to advance to make the soldiers a little more confident.

As a result, Sun Huan came down and pushed the entire army forward at a slow speed for a distance of 300 meters before he was able to stop.

By the time Sun Huan's army had pushed forward a distance of 300 meters, Mengxi's infantry had already reached 700 meters away.And Xiong Ping's right-wing cavalry formation has been suppressed to 500 meters away, and the appearance of the personnel on the cross-section of their first row can be seen clearly.

Gai Meng's troops were the last to dispatch, but at this time they had surpassed the infantry formation and were on the same level as Xiong Ping's formation.

At such a distance, it is time for the cavalry to start accelerating and launch an impact on the enemy's formation.

At this time, all the small flags held by the knights in the army formation of Gai Meng and Xiong Ping were raised up.Then, after Xiong Ping's order, the cavalry on the right attacked first.Then, Gaimeng's left-wing cavalry also accelerated.Although the marching speed of the infantry formation in the center has increased, the speed obviously cannot catch up with the footsteps of the infantry.Moreover, their acceleration was not very obvious, and they didn't even run.

The reason why the infantry phalanx did this was because the enemy in front of them was still very far away from them, but it was at the bottom of the army formation and was closely protected by the troops on both wings.Moreover, they also need to face a large number of enemy archers ambushing there.Therefore, they can wait until the troops on the left and right wings of their own side start fighting with the enemy, and the situation has stabilized a little before participating in the battle.

And the infantry team can also have enough confidence to believe that in the case of fighting between the left and right wings, Sun Huan will definitely keep the central army still in order to maintain the depth of the army.

Soon, the 500-meter distance between the two sides was swept away by the cavalry.

The formation of Gai Mengjun's two-wing cavalry at this time has been adjusted into a wedge formation that is most conducive to attacking the enemy during the charge. The protrusions in front are like two extremely sharp spearheads pointing directly at the enemy. The central part of the army array.In addition, the impact speed of the cavalry had reached the maximum, and the sound of horseshoes came like raindrops. One couldn't help but think that the dark sky suddenly thundered.

Sun Huan had already issued new orders to the Lujiang Shangjia Army, telling them to take advantage of their heavy armor to withstand the first wave of enemy cavalry.

Then, there were two loud bangs, which shocked everyone's hearts.The cavalry on both wings of Gai Meng's army was finally armored with Sun Huan's Lujiang Upper Jia Army.

As a result, the battlefield was suddenly covered with dust, and it was almost impossible to see what happened on the contact surface between the two armies.However, in the dust came the mournful cry of humans and the mournful cry of war horses.

At this time, Sun Huan didn't bother to inquire about the casualties of the Jia army on the Lujiang River.He immediately ordered the right-wing army formation to hide behind the bow and arrow team, and immediately started shooting on the battlefield.Then, everyone on the two wings clapped their hands and immediately stepped forward to support the Lujiang Shangjia Army. They must wear down the impact of the enemy's cavalry on the front line, and they must not be allowed to attack the army formation behind.In this case, his army should be temporarily invincible.
