Chapter 329: Peak duel (2)

Han He said again: "So, what should we do to pinch the head and the tail?"

"It's very simple. Just arrange a car array on the left and right wings and resist horses. If time allows, you can also dig a trap." Han Xin touched Han He's little head, and suddenly turned around and ordered Cao Qi, the general of Suwei, and said, "Send the order, the left and right armies will take the defensive moment, entangle the Chu cavalry, the front army will take the offensive, and attack the Chu army's middle road!"

"Here!" Cao Qi replied with a loud noise and waved his hand again. The messenger had already taken out the three-colored order flag and hung it on the lookout cart.

The yellow and green flags in it are downward, which means that the left and right armies adopt a defensive force, and the red flags in it are upward, which means that the front army adopts an offensive force.

As soon as the flag on Han Xin's command chariot was put out, the Qi army immediately started to launch. The chariots and baggage chariots in the left and right armies were pushed to the front of the formation. Teams of spears and halberds began to fill the chariots, and the gaps in the baggage workshop were followed by the spears and halberds, followed by the shield armor, and then the crossbowman.

The front army was a different scene. Amid the sound of war drums that were tightly like a wave, teams of light soldiers wearing grazing clothes and slanted buns began to strode forward. Behind the light soldiers were the shield and armor soldiers who were responsible for the backbone, and then the spear thrower who carried flying spears, and finally the long bowman.

This is the most typical attack formation in the Qin and Han dynasties. The front row of light soldiers is generally composed of dead prisoners and bandits. No one hopes that they can destroy the enemy's defense line. Most of the time, their existence is just to consume the enemy's physical strength. When the light soldiers consume the shield armor, halberd spears, and crossbows, they will attack with all their strength and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Originally, there were no flying spears in the wars of ancient China. However, since Xiang Zhuang, a time traveler, brought the javelin back to ancient times, the flying spears quickly became the main combat weapon of various countries in China. Although the flying spears do not have the range and accuracy of crossbows, their lethality at a distance of about twenty steps is unparalleled. The most important thing is that the flying spears are cheap.

Therefore, as soon as the flying spear appeared, it was quickly accepted by all countries and quickly began to be equipped with a large amount of equipment. To this day, the flying spear has become a standard weapon for all countries in China.

Compared with the famous Macedonian or Roman phalanxes in ancient West, there was almost no iconic infantry phalanx in ancient China that could be famous in history, but this does not mean that there was no powerful infantry phalanx in ancient China. In fact, in terms of real combat power, the infantry phalanx in ancient China was not inferior to the West.

The Macedonian phalanx has an unparalleled frontal attack power, but it has a fatal weakness, which is the difficulty of turning. Once there are no cavalry or auxiliary soldiers to protect the flanks, they will be massacred by the flanks.

The power of the Roman phalanx has been proven by history. Its biggest feature is its balanced offense and defense and strong mobility.

However, the Roman Empire's legions were not only Roman phalanx. In addition to the sword and shield soldiers in the Roman phalanx, the Roman legions also had a large number of auxiliary troops such as cavalry, javelins, and baggage soldiers. From this point of view, the composition and combat methods of the Roman legions were very similar to those of the ancient Chinese teams.

On the north bank of Sishui, the Chu army's main formation.

Bi Shu looked calm, but no one noticed that his hands holding the guardrail of the car were inadvertently bulging with earthworm-like veins, all of which were nervous. Facing Han Xin, the world's top military strategist, and facing a total of 300,000 to 400,000 Qi troops, it would be impossible not to be nervous.

Amid the heavy footsteps, Yu Ziqi had already boarded the lookout car.

Bi Shu loosened his hands holding the guardrail tightly and said without looking back: "General Ziqi, are you here?"

Yu Ziqi walked slowly behind Bi Shu and said in a deep voice: "General Wei, the army of Qi has moved."

Bi Shu nodded and said, "It is naturally difficult for Han Xin to have a single word long snake formation."

After saying that, Bi Shu turned around and ordered the personal military captain Tieniudao: "Transfer the order, the left and right troops will come out, and turn the two dragons to come out of the water formation!"

"Here!" Tieniu, a personal military lieutenant, responded with a loud bang, and then walked to the guardrail behind the car, then took the two-color "red" and "orange" flags from the hands of the car and hung them on the flagpole of the car.

#############

The right wing of the Chu army, in front of the cavalry.

Meng Feng crossed the cavalry and fired chicken, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, stood proudly in front of the cavalry formation.

Suddenly, a fast horse, holding a triangular flag, arrived as if flying. Before the person arrived, he arrived: "General Guard has an order, the left and right cavalrymen came out, and the two dragons came out of the water formation; General Guard has an order, and the left and right cavalrymen came out, and the two dragons came out of the water formation..."

"The last general is ordered!" Meng Fengchong's towering lookout car was bowing from afar, then rode his horse slowly walked past the cavalry formation, while raising his sword and howled, "The Great Chu is mighty!"

"Big Chu!"

"Big Chu!"

"Big Chu!"

The right wing's 20,000 cavalrymen responded.

"The Chu army will win!" Meng Feng roared again.

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

The 20,000 cavalry roared in unison, like a storm of waves.

Amid the sound of the mountains and thunder, Meng Feng slowly turned his horse's head, and the horizontal knife in his hand had pointed at the Qi Central Army diagonally opposite. He gently activated the war horse. Huo Chiliu shook his four hooves and walked forward gently. The next moment, Meng Feng Feng's horizontal knife fell down fiercely, and then looked up at the sky for a long time: "The children of Great Chu, it's time to make achievements and be called a title and a marquis, kill..."

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The 20,000 cavalry on the right wing responded wildly, and raised their ring-headed swords and urged their war horses to follow Meng Feng and rushed towards the Qi Central Army diagonally opposite.

Diagonally opposite, the Qi Central Army, a purple robe figure was faintly visible on the high looking car. In a flash, the eyes of the 20,000 cavalry soldiers showed unprecedented fanaticism. Han Xin, that was Han Xin. As long as he broke into the Qi Central Army and cut off Han Xin's head, he could be granted a marquis with this achievement!

The great Chu, a powerful and powerful man, is to be granted a title today!

Almost at the same time, the 20,000 cavalry on the left wing of Chu State also rushed forward under the leadership of Deputy General Meng Keng. The two cavalry were like two large iron clamps of crabs, one on the left and the other on the right, and the other on the opposite Qi army.

The Chu cavalry chose the attack opportunity to be extremely cruel, because at this time, both the left and right armies of Qi were stalemate, while the front army was moving forward and attacking with all their might. This time, a gap appeared between the front army and the left and right armies. The Chu cavalry, who was like two dragons coming out of the water, obviously planned to break into the Qi army's formation from these two gaps and take Han Xin's army straight.

#############

The central army of Qi State looked above the chariot.

Lou Jing changed his face slightly: "No, the Chu army seems to have changed its formation!"

Cao Shen also said heavily: "If our army does not follow the changes of formations, the Chu cavalry on both wings will break into the gap between our front army and the left and right armies and take our central army's main formation!"

Han Xin looked calm and his face was even more calm.

Han He also had full confidence in his father and said, "Father, what kind of formation is this?"

"This is one of the changes in the one-character long snake formation, also called the Second Dragon Water Formation." Han Xin said this, and pointed to the Chu cavalry rushing in front of him, lowered his head and said to Han He, "Heer, take a closer look, does the Chu cavalry that broke out from the left and right wings look like two evil dragons breaking through the water?"

"Well, it's really like." Han He said again, "Father, how should this formation be broken?"

"If you want to break this formation, you only need to have a seal." Han Xin said earnestly, "If the two dragons break into our army's formation, they can form a continuous strangulation and should not be underestimated. However, as long as the portal is sealed, the two evil dragons will not be able to enter the door. When their power is exhausted, our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and this formation can be broken."

After saying that, Han Xin turned around and said, "The former army retreated and locked the door."

"Here!" Cao Qi, the general of Suwei Lang, responded with a loud noise and turned around and sent an order.

#############

On the north bank of Sishui, the Chu army's main formation.

The personal military lieutenant Tieniu Dao: "General Wei, the front army of Qi has retreated again."

Yu Ziqi sighed: "These two dragons came out of the water formation, it was indeed impossible for Han Xin to do anything."

"This is also expected." After the two rounds of confrontation, Bi Shu quickly calmed down from the initial tension, and immediately ordered Tien Niu Dao, "The front army attacks and then turn the three talent formations of heaven and earth!"

"Yes!" Tie Niu responded with a loud bang, strode back and raised the yellow flag representing the front army.

#############

The middle road of the Chu army, in front of the front army.

Master Ziche was wearing heavy armor and was walking back and forth in front of the formation with a horizontal knife on his waist.

As a general of the former army, Ziche Shi was in extreme dissatisfaction at the moment. The cavalry on both wings were obviously just auxiliary soldiers, but now they were no longer able to attack the Qi army. However, his front army did not move. Although he knew that this was the arrangement of General Guard, Ziche Shi was still unhappy.

Behind Ziche Master, 20,000 Chu Jia was waiting for the battle. Seeing that the cavalry on the left and right wings had already launched a large attack, Chu Jia's eyes showed envy in the eyes of these big-headed soldiers, fighting would mean military achievements, and having military achievements would mean titles. With titles, they would immediately become nobles from mud legs.

For a mud-legged man, getting a title and becoming a noble is their ultimate goal in life!

While waiting anxiously, a fast horse finally rushed from the main formation of the central army. Before we could approach, the knights on the horse had already raised a triangle flag high and shouted: "General Guard has an order, the front army attacks, and turn the three talent formation in heaven and earth; the general has an order, and the front army attacks, and turn the three talent formation in heaven and earth..."

"Haha." Ziche Master looked up to the sky and laughed twice, then pulled out the horizontal knife again.

With a sword in his hand, Ziche took two more steps forward, and his face was already showing a strong murderous aura. His eyes flashed across the faces of the front row soldiers. Ziche shouted sternly: "The men of the front army, as a heavy armored infantry, we will always be undefeated kings on the battlefield. No one can steal our glory and kill!"

After saying that, Ziche Shi raised his sword and turned around, and strode away and ran towards the Qi army formation ahead.

"Kill and kill..." The 20,000 Chu soldiers shouted like a thunderbolt in an instant, and then they all took out their ring-headed swords and followed Ziche Master and rushed forward.
