Chapter 419: Breaking the Array
Zhu Youwen was naturally not a false reputation when he was sent by Zhu Wen to Zhaoyi. This person does have his own set of effective things in military strategy.
Liu Ruyan originally hoped to use the speed of her cavalry to kick the opponent's camp in one fell swoop, destroy the opponent's morale, and successfully seize Le'an. However, in fact, she did kick the two camps on both sides, but the enemy on the opposite side did not collapse.
The most important reason for this is that from the beginning of the war, after Zhu Youwen discovered her intention, he made a quick decision to lead three thousand cavalry out of the city and chased Liu Ruyan desperately. This made Liu Ruyan unable to effectively expand the results of the battle. He could only kill two in and two out in the camp and then escape from the battlefield.
Although he won the first battle and seemed to have won a great victory, people with rich combat experience, including Gongsun Changming and others, knew very well that this victory had little impact on the outcome of the entire war.
The main force of the enemy is still there, and morale is still there.
Zhu Youwen leaned against the city wall and formed a layer of defensive formation. Since the camp was broken, Zhu Youwen simply didn't want it. Two Wei Bo Thousand Teams, one left and one right, formed the front defensive formation, heavy shields and big guns, forming an extremely solid defensive body. Later, the square formation became three, and in turn, each layer of defense would have a square formation.
The entire defensive formation is similar to a clamped geese feather formation, and in the middle are the three thousand main cavalry commanded by Zhu Youwen.
This formation caused great trouble for the attackers. Fighting head-on, the cavalry is rigorous in the structure, with heavy shields, large guns, and crossbows behind the defensive lineups, and not much exposure of the opponent's flanks. Even if the exposed part is partly exposed, it can get strong support from the extended part of the rear. Zhu Youwen, who is located in the middle, can lead his three thousand main cavalry out of any place at any time and strike the attacker in a roundabout way.
These Shen Ce troops to which Li Hai belonged were placed in the middle of the defensive formation, either the soldiers of Wei or Xuan Wu. This was because Zhu Youwen was extremely worried about their combat effectiveness. He put them in the middle so that they would not collapse and attack their formation when they were attacked violently.
Putting them in the middle is less likely to be attacked, but at the same time they can use crossbows to support Wei Boxuan warriors who are heading in front.
From this point of view, Zhu Youwen deserves to be a general. He did not vent his anger on these surrendered troops because of the two camps led by the defeat of the Shence Army. In the eyes of the Shence Army, the other party gave them good care. This kind of work that only shoots arrows without fighting is now the best place for them.
"Mr. Gongsun, how should I fight?" Seeing Chen Bing and Chu Sheng doing his best on the battlefield, there was still no progress, and the casualties expanded little by little. Liu Ruyan was at a loss. Although she was a woman, she was the best of the three armies. But she had experienced such a command of the army to fight before? In her mind, fighting, naturally, she would take the lead and kill the generals and seize the flag. But now she encountered such a hedgehog, and for a moment, she had no choice but to look at Gongsun Changming.
"The strategy of attacking the two wings has no effect on the military formation in front of us, unless we use more sufficient manpower and more infantry." Gongsun Changming looked solemn: "The only way to quickly defeat the opponent is to directly face the toughest part of the opponent."
"Fight the two frontal military formations?" Tu Hu was stunned.
"Yes!" Gongsun Changming said: "Zhu Youwen's formation is a typical iron shell egg heart. If the iron shell outside is crushed, the inside is vulnerable. However, if we want to destroy the iron shell, we will have to pay a huge price."
After pausing for a moment, he slowly said: "We need a warrior who moves forward and uses his life to pound this iron shell out of the gap."
After hearing this, Liu Ruyan didn't say anything, holding her helmet, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Gongsun Changming: "Madam, you are the commander of the first army, how can you charge into battle?"
"I'll go!" Tu Hu lifted up the long knife inserted on the side.
Tu Hu took less than two steps, but a black-armored general held Tu Hu down and looked at everyone with a smile and said, "It is naturally the matter of us, madam, Tu Erye, of course, the people from our secret camp will do this."
"Jiao Er..." Tu Hu looked at the other party and called out, but did not continue to say.
"Everyone in the secret camp is not deeply favored by the young master. Today it is our duty. Mr. Tu, I still remember when you bought me out of that beggar gang, they were about to interrupt my hands and feet and let me climb onto the street to beg for them. You took me to the secret camp. For more than ten years, I have eaten and slept sweetly, developed a good energy and learned this skill. At this moment, it is the time to serve the kindness that has been for more than ten years." Jiao Er laughed: "I am not as flexible as Jiao Yi, and I can only work hard to do it."
"Ninety-one, there is no return!" Gongsun Changming said on the side.
"I will live my luck, and I will die if I die." Jiao Er raised his head and said, "I will die in more than ten years. If I live for more than ten years, I will be able to make a fortune."
He turned around, looked at the black-armored cavalry behind everyone, and roared: "Secret Camp soldiers, get out of the line!"
Accompanied by Jiao Er's roar, nearly two hundred black-armored cavalrymen came out.
"Blind the horse!" Jiao Er tore off a piece of war robe and tied it to the war horse's eyes. Without looking at the object, the war horse couldn't help but sniff and dig its hooves with some anxiety.
Two hundred black-armored knights all turned over and over the horse.
Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, then turned over and said, "You go first, I will follow you later. Mr. Gongsun, I will mobilize the entire army's mission, I will ask you."
Tuhu also quietly turned over the war horse and followed Liu Ruyan tightly.
Gongsun Changming turned around and looked not far behind him. The curtains of several carriages were opened, and their concerned faces were looking at their place.
There is the emperor's face that is now full of illness, the queen's anxious and afraid, the prince's ignorant and ignorant, and the concerned and nervous face of Mrs. Wang.
"Strike!" Jiao Er shouted loudly, and more than 200 cavalry roared, driving the war horses and running straight ahead.
First, he trotted, then accelerated, and rushed straight to the opposite formation composed of large shields and spears.
More than a hundred steps behind them, Liu Ruyan and Tu Hu led the rest of the black-armored knights to follow closely.
The arrows in the air fell like locusts, making jingling sounds on these soldiers. The knights lowered their bodies, fighting desperately, forcing their horses to speed up constantly.
Even the well-trained war horses are all creatures. They are also afraid of the shaky swords and guns. When they encounter obstacles, they will naturally choose to hide and give in. But now, the more than 200 people of Jiao Er have covered the eyes of the war horses.
The war horses could not see the threat ahead, and they could only trust the knights who were with them day and night.
When the war horses were more than ten steps away from the formation, they soared into the air and leaped straight towards the sea of death in front of them.
The soldiers of Doctor Wei finally couldn't help but get upset. The horses and men with armor would be more than 2,000 kilograms. Such a giant fell down like this. How could human power stop it?
Countless spears were raised instantly, forming a forest of guns as the war horses dismounted, and the sound of the horses was endless. There were countless spears inserted into the soft lower abdomen of the war horses for a while, but this huge downward momentum was not something the soldiers could bear. The gun was broken, the arms were broken, and the horse and the knights were smashed down. Within a few meters of the square garden, they were immediately swept away.
Some of the horse knights were stabbed to death by countless spears, while others survived by chance. The moment they landed on the ground, they immediately roared and waved the horizontal sword in their hands and started chopping randomly.
Don’t worry about hurting friendly forces. Anyway, there are enemies on both sides, so killing one will make a lot of money.
Jiao Er's horse was the strongest, so he flew the farthest. He was lucky. The horse was shot dozens of times. When the horse was stabbed, he used his feet and kicked the war horse hard, which made him jump up again. In the air, the huge slashing sword in his hand also roared down.
When he landed again, the people around him had been emptied by his war horse. He landed on the corpse of the war horse that was still twitching, waving the saber in his hand, and circling the circle like a windmill.
The spear of Doctor Wei who rushed up was cut off, and his head was cut off. In front of Jiao Er's eyes, there were flying broken limbs and broken arms.
He took a step forward, then another step forward.
A crossbow arrow flew over and nailed straight to his thighs. When his legs became weak, he half-kneeled on the ground, but still desperately waved the saber in his hand.
Several guns came, piercing his armor from behind, Jiao Er pounced on the ground, snatched his hand to the ground, abandoned the saber, and touched a horizontal sword from the ground, and rushed forward, swung his body forward, and cut off several spears in front of him, roared and rushed into the crowd, killing several people again.
More than a dozen long spears poked from different directions and stabbed into Jiao Er's body, lifting him up high. In the air, Jiao Er roared and threw the horizontal sword in his hand out. A soldier Wei in front screamed and was penetrated by the horizontal sword in his chest.
At this moment, Soldier Wei was really frightened. More than a dozen long spears were pulled out. Jiao Er slammed his face and fell to the ground with a loud bang. He twisted a few times, staring at the sky above his head wide.
