The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 286 The Great Battle in Guanzhong ([-])
"The pikemen are in formation!"

"The cavalry formation is complete!"

"Order! The spear team is moving forward! The general will put the flag forward!"

"Here!"

"Order! Cavalry, follow Ben to the north!"

"Here!"

Although Zhou Zhi's voice calling for Jiang Bin to be killed was clearly heard in his ears, he also saw Jiang Bin's flag being chopped down in his eyes.Although he was very sad and angry in his heart, Guan Yi at this time was no longer a rookie who had just entered the battlefield. He calmly gave the most correct order.

There was a sound of orderly footsteps on the noisy battlefield. This was the sound of the spearmen of the Han army starting to advance.Although Zhou Zhi had never seen the power of pikemen with his own eyes, the fact that the Han army's pikemen were not easy to mess with had long been a consensus among the Jin army.So after hearing such footsteps, Zhou Zhi issued an order very quickly: "The whole army is divided into two parts, and the left and right sides bypass the enemy's front. Brothers, the weakest part of the Han army's spear formation is the flank, bypass Head on, kill them all!"

"Hey~~~!"

The morale of this group of soldiers of the Jin Army has already exploded after beheading the enemy's general just now.They struggled to respond to the command of the general, and began to run towards the rear of the spearmen on the opposite side.

This process went very smoothly, although during the running process, the soldiers on our side and the spears of the opponent were actually very close.But there was no copper whistle sounding from the gun array, and the annoying spears didn't stab out in a uniform manner.

Not only that, but what made the soldiers of the Jin army feel even more excited was that the gun array on the opposite side was not long. They only ran less than a hundred steps, and they had already seen the end of the gun array—great, as long as they turned to On the side and rear of the gun array, these fools holding long guns can kill them however they want.

However, when the soldiers of the Jin army who ran behind were excited when they saw the end of the gun array, the soldiers who ran at the front felt great confusion and panic.

They had already circled to the side and rear of the gun array, and the rows of shining gun heads in sight just now were very sure that they were behind them.But why is there still a row of shining gun heads in front of him?
This is because what Guan Yi fired that night was not a solid spear array, but a hollow spear array.

Five years ago, during the Battle of Xindu, Guan Yi's spear team had not formed an army, so there was no time to do more training, and everyone had no actual combat experience.Therefore, Guan Yi was afraid that his soldiers would suddenly collapse on the battlefield, so he could only form a solid spear team.And now?Most of his soldiers have actual combat experience, and low-level officers also have basic command ability in battle.Therefore, he took out the strongest version of the pikemen: the hollow pikemen.

The so-called hollow spear formation means that four teams of spearmen form a hollow square.No matter which direction there is an enemy, there will be pikemen facing him head-on.This completely conceals the biggest weakness of the solid pike formation: flank protection.

Moreover, the interior of the spear formation is not a vacuum. It has commanders, reserve soldiers, archers and even medical soldiers.This ensures that a pike formation composed of 500 people has a fairly objective continuous combat capability.

That night, because of Jiang Bin's timely warning, Guan Yi's three thousand spearmen had enough time to complete the change.Therefore, Guan Yi directly set up six hollow pike formations.When Zhou Zhi's army bypassed the frontmost square formation, they naturally fell into the siege of several other spear formations.

"Drip~~~!" The copper whistle in the core of the gun array finally sounded, and then there was a programmed voice: "Stab to the right!"

"Hey~~!"

It was just a face-to-face meeting, and Zhou Zhi's troops ran ahead, and were quickly wiped out.

"Hey, it's all Jiang Bin's fault, I wasted too much time." Although his vision was not very good, as a general who won the hearts of the soldiers, he could hear the screams of his soldiers very clearly.Zhou Zhi wiped the blood from his face: "Hongzu, it's over, the raid failed."

"What's wrong? There's no way around the flank?"

"No way, the enemy's spear array has become stronger again. Hey, I forgot. After fighting for a whole day, the enemy just keeps cleaning the battlefield, making it easier for our spearmen and cavalry to advance." Finished annoyed With these words, Zhou Zhi hurriedly bowed his hands to Shi Qiao: "Hongzu, Zhou Zhi must die tonight, but after this battle is over, please surrender to Xishu and live on."

"Why is that? Does Zimei look down on me?"

"No. Hongzu, I killed their general. If I lose the battle, I will die. And you are the eldest son of Da Sima. As long as you are willing to surrender, the Shu thieves will treat you kindly. And the purpose of your life is to want There is a way to send the secret of the Western Shu Spear Formation back to Da Jin. Otherwise, the next time Da Jin fights the Shu thieves, I will suffer a lot!"

Hey, this Zhou Zimei is really a loyal minister of Jin.But, you poor boy, you haven't figured out why my father left me behind!
When the two were thinking about each other, the ground suddenly began to shake violently - Guan Yi's cavalry had already circled behind Zhou Zhijun.

A general wearing a lion king's helmet and holding a Qinglong Yanyue knife led, and more than a thousand knights in full body armor, driving the horses under their crotches, inserted behind Zhou Zhijun at high speed.Suddenly, with the screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the knocking of sabers cutting bones, Zhou Zhijun quickly collapsed.

Zhou Zhi, with red eyes, waved his spear and shouted in the direction of Guan Yi: "General Zhou Yi of the Great Jin Yamen is here, Guan Zifeng, dare to fight me!"

The voice was so hoarse, of course Guan Yi heard it.But now that Guan Yi bears the hope of a country, how could he easily agree to the enemy's one-on-one challenge?Hearing Zhou Zhi's pickiness, he smiled cruelly, and quickly made a gesture with his left hand toward the back.Then, the seven or eight knights behind him quickly inserted their knives into their sheaths, raised their small cavalry bows on horseback, and fired salvos at Zhou Zhi.

"Puff puff puff~~~" Although the spear tried to block several crossbow bolts, three or four crossbow bolts still pierced into Zhou Zhi's body.The impact of these crossbow arrows caused Zhou Zhi's body to pause as if being hit by acupuncture points.At such a moment, a big knife slashed across his neck like lightning.His head flew high in an instant, and Zhou Zhi finally had a clear view of Guan Yi's appearance before his consciousness completely disappeared.

"Han Da Sima Guan Yi Formation kills the enemy general Zhou Zhi! Notify the soldiers of the Jin army, Zhou Zhi grants the head, and those who surrender will not die!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

……

The time has come to the third quarter of Yin time (04:30 in the morning) on ​​August [-]th.At this time, more than an hour has passed since Zhou Zhi was awarded the head.

The established, large-scale fighting has ended.Amid the shouts of the generals of the Han army, the soldiers of the Jin army began to surrender in groups.On the battlefield, there are indeed very few officers of the Jin Army organizing a small number of soldiers to fight stubbornly, but these have nothing to do with the overall situation of this battle.

"Reporting to the Great Sima, our army has broken into the enemy's central army camp and cut down the enemy's central army banner. The surrender speed of the Jin army has obviously accelerated."

"Report to the great Sima, lead the general and send people to report. Half an hour ago, a Jin army appeared on the south bank of the Weihe River. It seems to be the Yuanqing team that we have been waiting for for a long time. This army has no plans to cross the river. Flee east along the south bank of the Weihe River."

"Reporting to Da Sima, a rough battle report has come out. So far, our army has killed more than 3 people and seriously injured more than [-] people. According to the confession of the surrendered officer of the Jin army, the enemy's battle was a total of [-] Thousands of people participated in the battle, and our army has captured more than [-] prisoners so far. From this, it can be deduced that the enemy's death toll should be tens of thousands."

"Report to Chief Sima, our army's spearmen and cavalry have completed preparations. There are a total of [-] spearmen and [-] cavalry. All soldiers have been equipped with dry food for more than three days. All war horses have prepared beans to feed along the way .”

"Great Sima, captured a Jin general, claiming to be the second son of Shi Bao, Shi Zhongrong, the pseudo-Great Sima of the Jin Kingdom..."

"Report to the Great Sima..."

"Good! Send an order!" After Guan Yi was stunned by the flood of information, he quickly responded: What is it that I don't care about the soldiers' lives and forcibly attack the village?Don't you just want to hurry to Huaili?
"I'll wait for the command of the great Sima!"

"The military situation is like fire. I personally led the completed long spear team and cavalry team to Huaili overnight. Lingxing, Guowei, Zhongyuan, and Boding followed me. The rest of the people, etc., stay here to clean up the remnants of the enemy. Statistics The results of the battle. Well, Zilian is the leader here (Tian Xu). Don’t rush to Huaili, the important thing is to manage the prisoners well and treat the wounded well!”

"Here! Follow the orders of the great Sima!"

"Well, everyone, as long as we win the decisive battle in Huaili, my Great Han's Northern Expedition will soon come to an end! I hope everyone will continue to be vigilant and perform their duties at this moment when the victory is approaching! Victory will eventually belong to my Great Han ! The ideal of revitalizing the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital will surely come true in our hands!"

"Rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, return to the old capital! The big man will win! The big man will win!"
