Chapter 263 The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying
The people's shouts set off a small climax, and also ignited the curiosity of more people outside the city gate. What happened to make the people inside the city gate so excited that they even used the ancient proverb "fighting"?
Then people's curiosity was pushed to the top again, and a sound they had never heard before appeared, boom! Boom! The earth was shaking, and the dust on the ground was dancing up and down following the strong rhythmic vibrations.
It's like a prelude to the earth dragon turning over and the house collapsing.
Wow!
The people in Fengqiumen went completely crazy. A beast wearing black armor appeared in front of people's eyes. The generals were stunned and the civilian officials were frightened to death. What kind of army was this?
A complete beast of steel!
The huge tower shield is in front, and behind it is a steel jungle composed of spears more than ten feet long. It is erected like a flagpole. The red tassel on it is slowly fluttering. What is even more strange is that the height of the spears is different. In the past,
Then it grows gradually.
At the end of the team is the long-range force composed of crossbowmen. There is no cavalry in the queue. Even the commanding general Di Qing is wearing strict infantry armor, but he has a red tassel on his head, while the other soldiers have
With white Zan tassel inserted.
Zhao Zhen's eyes widened as he watched the steel jungle advance slowly. Di Qing was really a talent. He actually used the ancient Macedonian phalanx to fight against Yang Huaiyu! This was only briefly mentioned in the textbook he wrote for the Military Academy. Unexpectedly
Di Qing's restoration was so good, and what's even more valuable is that he even improved it.
The team led by Yang Huaiyu is not bad either. Although they are soldiers and veterans summoned from the families of the generals, their combat literacy is extremely good. They can still be calm and unbreakable in the face of such a mobile battle formation. They are confident in this view.
The seemingly intimidating formation is actually just a fat sheep left to be slaughtered. If it is uniform, it loses its mobility. If it is dispatched flexibly, it can trap the enemy and make it passive.
And the most important point is that such a long spear can only take care of the front, but what should you do with the side?
As the three drums were completed, the two armies officially began to fight. According to battlefield experience, it was time to gather the crossbows and shoot them. Yang Huaiyu was smart enough to break them into pieces and spread out the troops in his hands, thus avoiding the area covered by the crossbows.
, and can attack from the side calmly.
Yang Huaiyu's tactics made all the civil and military officials nod their heads. There were also many civil servants who were knowledgeable about military matters. Xia Song, Zuo Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, sighed slightly: "Yang Huaiyu's method is very good. He deserves to be the queen of the generals. He is quite calm in adapting to changes!"
"
Wang Zeng was silent, he did not believe that Di Qing, whom the officials were optimistic about, was Zhao Kuo, who was talking about military affairs on paper. But at this time, the officials were smiling and calm, as if they had inexplicable trust in Di Qing.
Cao Wei replied with a smile: "Xia Zuocheng has been praised too much. After all, Huaiyu is the descendant of Yang Wudi, the old prince. This little effort is nothing!"
Xia Song squinted his eyes and said nothing. This was not modest at all. He was completely praising the general's juniors, and he was doing it in front of all the civil and military officials. It was really too much.
Ding Wei said with a smile: "Xia Zuocheng is right. Yang Huaiyu does have general talents, but this has just begun. We can't tell who is higher and who is lower just by looking at the formation. We have to wait a little longer."
Ding Wei's words were tantamount to disapproving of Xia Song and Cao Wei. Although Xia Song was talented in civil and military affairs and had made great achievements in political affairs and learning, his character was not good. He was greedy and good at using tactics to steal money.
It is deeply shameful for many civil servants to raise livestock and entertainers.
I don't know why the officials promoted him to participate in political affairs? Ding Wei shook his head slightly. The officials' thoughts were becoming more and more unpredictable.
The battle started first with the crossbowmen under Yang Huaiyu. The crossbow arrows wrapped in lime cloth were shot at Di Qing's army like locusts. Unfortunately, they were blocked by shields. Even if they were thrown, they had little effect. Di Qing's army was directly capped with round shields, and the arrows were hit.
There are very few.
Just as Yang Huaiyu's crossbowmen were winding up, Di Qing's horn sounded, as if in response to Ding Wei's words, the black steel jungle on the battlefield suddenly split open, like peonies blooming, and a hundred flowers bloomed, forming many combat units.
The crossbowmen's field of vision became extremely good, regardless of other stragglers directly covering a large area of Yang Huaiyu's central army...
For a moment, white dust obscured Yang Huaiyu's vision. The scattered combat units were grouped into groups of ten, and their long and short weapons complemented each other to attack the invading enemies on both wings.
This was a bit like Qi Jiajun's style of play. Zhao Zhen marveled at Di Qing's use of formations. He was indeed a born handsome man. With his dexterity and agility, he was able to get ahead of Yang Huaiyu three blocks away.
The two wings of harassment sent by Yang Huaiyu were defeated one by one, and his central army lost a lot of people. He suddenly became a little flustered. After all, he had never been on the battlefield, and it was easy to see that his central army had lost a lot of soldiers.
Started to get anxious.
The biggest mistake he made was to blow the horn to let the rangers return to the central army. Di Qing's horn sounded again, but the sound was obviously different. The dispersed team came back together like a fancy show, and he began to miss Yang Huaiyu.
The Chinese army attacked.
Yang Huaiyu, who had just recovered his rangers, organized his troops into formation again, but by the time his formation was ready, Di Qing had already led his troops to attack. The steel jungle that had been trotting in an orderly formation suddenly accelerated when it was about to reach the enemy.
The shield hand in front used all his strength to press the tower shield on the enemy.
Behind the shield bearer were countless spears like a forest. The reason why the lengths of the spears were different was to take care of the spearmen behind. At this time, many people discovered the secret. The steel jungle overturned Yang Huaiyu's front army in an instant, and it was densely packed.
The long spears made the veterans of the generals start to retreat timidly. Where had they seen such a formation?
Countless spears, like the tentacles of ghosts, were thrust towards the door. Even if it was wrapped in white cloth, it would be painful...
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, this military exercise was probably about to end, but there were different voices among the civil and military officials. Xia Song still insisted on his previous point of view: "Yang Huaiyu may not lose at this time, Di Qing's formation is huge, and there are many
If you attack with long gunmen, you will inevitably lack flexibility if you really break into the military formation, and it will be difficult to mediate."
Ding Wei smiled and said nothing, but Cao Wei nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, if we really enter the military formation for a melee, the general's veteran Youzi can eat up Di Qing's men without even leaving any residue!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the annoying horn sound sounded again...
The one-sided massacre began. After Di Qing defeated Yang Huaiyu's front army, he did not rush forward. Instead, he broke it into pieces and asked the spearmen to withdraw from the back row to spread out to block the two wings, and asked the crossbowmen to move forward to cover with crossbow arrows.
The army must kill as many enemy soldiers as possible.
After several rapid arrows from the ratchet crossbow, Di Qing's army once again attacked and killed effective forces like blooming flowers. The whole process was simply the art of war. The tacit cooperation between various arms and combat units led to orderly advance and retreat.
It is both offensive and defensive, and the entire battle formation is like a flower that is constantly opening and closing. It is beautiful and moving, but full of murderous intent.
Di Qing's troops are mainly able to execute orders and prohibitions, and this fighting quality puts the generals to shame.
Cao Wei froze in place with his mouth open. There were many generals like him. Yang Wenguang and Zhewei looked at each other, seeing helplessness and despair in each other's eyes.
Xia Song smiled slightly at this time and nodded repeatedly while standing with his hands behind his back. Ding Wei suddenly realized that Xia Song was the chess piece arranged by the officials to be beside the generals. He kept saying nice things and complimenting the generals, and finally embarrassed and humiliated them.
