Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

The attendant nodded and left. After a while, he descended the high hill and rode towards Xiang Yan's army.

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Longyang wants me to lose?"

Lord Longyang said calmly: "Sanchuan and Yingchuan counties are at your side, my king can't sleep or eat well."

Gao Jing nodded and said, "Understand!"

As the management of Sanchuan Yingchuan became more and more prosperous, the coveting of this fat meat became more and more popular.

…………

That is to say, I was afraid of Qin, so I didn't send troops to take it.

Now that Qin State is at war with Zhao State, the opportunity is so rare, it would be no wonder if Chu State would take this opportunity to take a bite!

Wei Guo also had the same thought, at least thinking of taking the opportunity to take back Sanchuan County.

If there hadn't been this gambling fight, Chu State might have already started sending troops to Yingchuan.

Gao Jing designed this gambling fight, firstly for Danyang, and secondly to destroy Chu State and Wei State.

Therefore, this battle must deter the two countries as much as possible!

……

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it seemed that the agreed time had come, but the Yingchuan Army had never been seen.

The people on the high hill were discussing in low voices:

"Is this giving up?"

"Gao Jing trained an army in Yingchuan, so he won't be defeated without a fight, right?"

"If that's the case, Yingchuan is in danger!"

"It shouldn't be like this to look at the high scenery style?"

"..."

"coming!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the discussion stopped!

The Yingchuan army finally appeared in the distance of the plain and slowly marched towards here.

After finally getting to the position, I haven't had time to organize the army...

"Boom boom boom——"

On the high hill, the drums of war sounded.

The appointed time has come!mouth.

Chapter 190 Fighting

The sound of the war drum means that the gambling battle can officially begin.

However, Xiang Yan's side has already set up a formation and is ready to fight, but Yingchuan's side has just arrived at the position.

The outcome seems to have been decided!

Sure enough, Xiang Yan was not polite, and directly ordered to send [-] infantry to charge towards Yingchuan.

Lord Longyang couldn't help but praised: "Xiang Yan is indeed cautious, she can still calmly restrain herself in this situation, and send troops to test first."

If it is a national war, the two sides should be separated by five miles.

But this is a gambling fight, and the distance between the two sides is less than one mile, which is 400 meters.

With such a short distance, the Yingchuan Army seems to have no time to regroup...

Everyone seemed to have seen the scene where the Yingchuan army was crushed.

When Xiang Yan's five thousand soldiers rushed to a distance of "six three three" and a half, the Yingchuan army finally made a move!

"Entire column!"

After a loud roar, the Yingchuan army began to gather almost instantly. Everyone was orderly, doing their own thing without interfering with each other, like clouds and flowing water.

In just a moment, the Yingchuan army, which was originally scattered, has turned into three neat and orderly formations on the left, center and right!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amidst the high-pitched shouts of killing, the three phalanxes, [-] pawns stepped forward in unison, three steps straight forward!

At this time, Xiang Yan's five thousand pawns could barely cross a distance of less than 300 meters.

Shocked by the sudden change of the army formation in front of them and the imposing shouts of killing, more than half of the five thousand infantry were so frightened that they subconsciously stopped in their tracks!

Not only the [-] pawns, but even the crowd watching on the high hill opened their mouths wide, and there was no sound. They were so shocked that they still haven't recovered.

……

The five thousand infantry were frightened and stopped in their tracks because of fear.

But the Yingchuan army did not.

The Centuries in the first row of the three phalanxes broke away from the phalanx, and the 300 people quickly formed a cone in front of the phalanx, directly recoiling the opponent's 5000 people.

With three hundred, five thousand!

The remaining three phalanxes still followed behind without haste.

The 5000 people who had already been frightened to a halt were pecked through by 300 people in just one meeting!

After breaking through 5000 people, the 300 people continued to advance towards Xiang Yan's main army without stopping.

And the phalanx following behind has already met the five thousand stragglers who were pecked through...

Just like a stone crushing rice, there is no hindrance, and the formation of the phalanx is not chaotic, and it just crushed through 5000 people.

A field of corpses was left behind, as well as deserters who fled in all directions and lost their courage.

……

There was a dead silence on the high hill, and everyone was stunned by this scene.

Gao Jing sighed regretfully to himself, thinking: It's a pity that it's a gambling fight!

Just because it is a gambling fight, many things cannot be used, such as chariots, such as the crossbow formation of "All the best crossbows in the world come from Han"!

Otherwise, the 5000 people would not even be able to escape after a round of crossbow formation.

Crossbows take a long time to reload compared to bows, but firing in bursts more than makes up for it.

The Yingchuan army naturally has a crossbow array designed in sections, with three-stage, four-stage, and even five-stage shots... There are also shields and long spear soldiers guarding the front to protect the crossbow formation...

Unfortunately, it didn't come in handy in gambling.

……

Everyone was shocked, but Xiang Yan was worthy of being a general, she recovered quickly, suppressed the horror in her heart, and gave the order.

The remaining 5000 people were adjusted to a "two one two" formation.

The formation changed extremely quickly. If it was before, the audience would have been amazed, but now it is not surprising that there is a comparison with the Yingchuan Army.

In the art of war, this is called "rushing the yoke".

It is a military method that is often used when marching in complex terrain such as mountains. The advantage is that it is not easy to be attacked by the enemy, because no matter which direction the enemy attacks from the front, back, left, or right, they will be flanked by our side.

As for the disadvantages, it is that this formation lacks explosive power, and it has extremely high requirements for the generals and soldiers who use this formation, otherwise it will easily cause confusion in command.

This is also the easiest formation to change after the army formation is arranged, just to prevent the enemy from rushing straight to the base camp...  

Basically every army has to be able to master and switch in the shortest possible time.

Xiang Yan was able to react in such a short period of time and took a defensive position. She also knew that it was too late to change other formations. Such a decisive ability...

All I can say is that Xiang Yan is worthy of it!

"Ohh Ohh ohh--"

Bugles of different lengths sounded in the Yingchuan army.

The phalanx split into three rows again, a total of nine centurions, which broke away and merged into the front conical formation. At the same time, the tail of the conical formation shrank to increase the penetration.

The two sides are in contact!

Many people, including Xiang Yan, thought that this gambling fight would be a wonderful contest.

But the reality is cruel!

Not only did the Yingchuan army's conical formation penetrate Xiang Yan's central army without hindrance, but in the process of piercing through it, it continued to divide into small conical formations to cut the enemy!

The hinterland of Xiang Yan's army was directly pierced and then cut, so that only a moment after the two armies met, Xiang Yan's army had already collapsed.

If there were no three phalanxes that followed, Xiang Yan could still rely on the number of people to overwhelm the Yan Cone.

But the steady advance of the phalanx has dissipated the morale of the cut Xiang's army, and they have no intention of going to the enemy soldiers in the army's hinterland... 3.9...

Xiang's army had already begun to retreat before they even made contact with the army behind!

……

"This... this is really..."

On the high hill, Longyang Jun was shocked and murmured in disbelief.

Not only him, but all other audience members also had the same expression.

Although the phalanx of more than 2 people pushed forward and forced it, the conical formation actually pierced through 1000 people by relying on its own 5000 or [-] people...

And with [-] times as many people as himself, he defended the victory!

It can even be said on the other hand that Yingchuan's army of 200 defeated Xiang Yan's 3!

This is an even more exaggerated record than the former Wei Wuzu! .

Chapter 190 Two Items

This is gambling, not real war.

Xiang Yan's army retreated, and the Yingchuan army did not pursue it. Instead, they gathered a conical formation and transformed it into three square formations again, occupying the position of Xiang Yan's army.
