Chapter 255: The Battle Begins

; Zhao Jun's cavalry general is called He Dapeng. He is almost fifty years old. He is definitely a veteran in this era. He Dapeng fought against the Xiongnu for many years when he was young, and he was very familiar with cavalry tactics. This time, in order to vent his anger, Zhao Qi sent out all the private soldiers under his command. Zhao Qi was able to take the two thousand cavalry. The richest family fortune came out, and he put all the cavalry into the battle against these miscellaneous soldiers of Yan State at one time, with the intention of destroying this annoying bug around him as quickly as possible, so that he could fight with Jiang Dawei with peace of mind. In Zhao Qi's mind, these well-trained cavalry, against these ineffective Yan State miscellaneous soldiers, is completely killing chickens with a sledgehammer. Perhaps the formation of the cavalry charge had frightened them down.

The momentum of the charge of the two thousand cavalry group was indeed astonishing, but what disappointed He Dapeng was that although the opponent was panicked, they did not collapse as he expected. Although the formation was looser, it did not collapse. It seemed that it would take more Once you have some strength, you have to insert into the opponent's camp first, cut and disperse, and then the infantry who follow behind will clean them up.

20,000 soldiers from the Yan State sounded like a lot, but when gathered together, they occupied a limited area. At this time, as the cavalry got closer, the formation that had just been loosened turned to the opposite direction because of the fear and fear of the soldiers. The inside was squeezed closer, and everyone was tightly squeezed together, as if this would give them a sense of security.

However, planting flowers intentionally will not live, and unintentionally planting willows and willows will make shade. When the cavalry reaches this distance, everyone knows that even if they turn around and flee at this time, they will not be able to escape. An extremely tight formation was formed, with people leaning against each other, people squeezing each other, and the spears in their hands had nowhere to put them, and could only be stretched into the air. Inadvertently, they formed an optimal formation against the cavalry.

What made these miscellaneous soldiers courageous was the position of Fufeng soldiers from the center.

At four hundred paces, there was no movement above the central position. The Fufeng soldiers who were singing war songs before seemed to have suddenly become dumb, without the slightest sound. When the cavalry approached three hundred paces, all the soldiers had already When he could clearly see the ferocious faces of the cavalrymen on the opposite side, there was a sudden burst of frightening noises on the central position, and black lightning bolts shot out from there. Seeing the afterimages of these powerful crossbow arrows in the air, but then, the Zhao cavalry who were still three hundred steps away fell off their horses one after another as if they were hit by a heavy hammer head-on, but they could see clearly clearly.

After a round of shooting, the cavalry of Zhao Guo who rushed up from the opposite side was sunken inward.

Seeing all this, all the Yan soldiers cheered loudly.

The sudden blow surprised He Dapeng too. He thought it was a bed crossbow, but he was puzzled that there were so many bed crossbows gathered on such a miscellaneous position. Not timid, the bed crossbow has great lethality, but the speed of fire is his biggest weakness. One shot, it is almost useless for cavalry.

"Speed ​​up!" he yelled.

However, the sound of Linlin once again made him almost freeze, and the second wave of shooting was like a violent storm, shooting down more people, because this time, they were closer to the opponent's position.

There were still two hundred steps away from the opponent's position, but more than a hundred cavalry fell down. This made He Dapeng furious. Until now, he hadn't realized that a huge crisis was approaching him step by step. Instead, he only had one thought in his heart , two hundred steps, one breath can reach it.

The sound of Linlin was endless, and the crossbow arrows on the opposite side continued to flow without stopping, and they shot wave after wave. The cavalry who rushed to the central position fell one by one, about 150 steps away from the position. In the place where dead bodies were piled up on the ground in an instant, a wall of corpses was built on the ground. This seemed to be a line of life and death, and no cavalry could cross this line.

On the two wings, however, the cavalry under He Dapeng's command directly collided with the infantry. The cavalry charged fiercely at the infantry's position, and were stabbed off their horses by spears, and then charged up again, tearing the infantry formation apart. Open a deep hole.

However, these miscellaneous soldiers of Yan State were crowded too tightly. Those in front wanted to escape, but they could not turn around or retreat. In desperation, they stabbed the spears in their hands fiercely, hoping to stop the cavalry's charge. Spears were broken, bones were broken, and blood was spurted from the mouth. After all, manpower could not compare with the strength of the cavalry rushing. The front one fell limply, with all the muscles and bones broken, but the mass of deaths successfully slowed down the speed of the opponent. Behind them, the surviving infantry stabbed the spears in their hands fiercely in shock. They roared like beasts, with blood splashing on their faces, and frantically raised their spears, stabbing and stabbing.

The two wings were slightly loose, but they did not collapse, but the center was like a stubborn rock in the sea, standing there unshakably. He Dapeng was going crazy. He had fought against the Huns for many years, and he had never encountered such a situation , He has seen how the Huns cavalry smashed Zhao's infantry positions, and he also participated in countless cavalry duels, screaming to kill the sky, horseshoes like thunder, one sprint down, and behind him, the bodies of countless cavalry on both sides will often fall, But he had never seen such a situation before. Facing a position defended by a group of infantry, he was unable to move closer. And those soldiers of Yan State on the two wings, who were obviously terrified to death, did not retreat, and seemed to be about to collapse. But he did a lot of damage to his cavalry.

It's not that these miscellaneous soldiers of Yan State don't want to retreat, but they can't. They are too crowded. In the middle, Gao Yuan has a sneer on his lips. Compared with Donghu cavalry, these Zhao cavalry are really inferior One level. Donghu people have fought against Gaoyuan a lot, and they already have some ways to deal with this kind of long-range and fast-firing crossbow. When they hear the sound of Nalinlin, they will use lightning Spread out the formations at a high speed, and spread the gap between the formations as much as possible, so as to reduce the lethality of the crossbow. Of course, this must be based on superb riding skills, and can quickly sprint in high speed. When facing the Donghu soldiers, the lethality of the crossbow is far from being as handy as it was used a few times before. More often, when Gao Yuan is fighting the Donghu soldiers, he has to He has to rely on his own combat strength. Fortunately, he has not encountered a large-scale Donghu cavalry now, otherwise, with his current strength, he would not be able to fight the opponent at all, and he can only be the same as other places. And fight, of course, if he has tens of thousands of Fufeng soldiers, that's another situation.

The Zhao cavalry in front of them are obviously much worse. When the speed of sprinting increases, their reaction speed is much slower, but there are some who react quickly. At the same time, people were turned on their backs, and the others were more, they could only look at the black crossbow arrows in despair but were unable to make any dodge actions.

"Infantry!" Watching the battle on the two wings, Gao Yuan shouted.

The infantry let out a roar, and galloped out on horseback. Behind him, a hundred Fufeng cavalry raised their sabers high and followed the infantry out.

The infantry was not sprinting against the opponent's cavalry. He brushed against the front of his own position and galloped all the way to the front flank position. But they shot out one after another like shooting stars, knocking down the cavalry on the opposite side one by one.

The arrows were shot without fail, and the arrows were deadly. At this moment, the infantry's hard-working archery skills were fully displayed.

Shooting seven arrows in a row, the infantry inserted the bow into the bow bag on the horse's back, then drew out the saber by his side, roaring and rushed into the Zhao cavalry who were attacking the left flank, and the Fufeng cavalry followed closely , separated the cavalry on the left from the main force.

Meng Chong on the left wing was in a bitter fight at this time. They were extremely embarrassed by the opponent's cavalry, and they got the help of the infantry, and they were immediately refreshed. When they were killing, the wildness in their hearts was even more aroused. With a roar, they counterattacked and raised their knives and guns at the same time.

The main force of Zhao Jun was still slowly advancing towards Jiang Dawei's Yuyang County soldiers, and the Yan Jun on the opposite side was also meeting him. Zhao Qi's attention was completely on the enemy on the opposite side, and the deputy general Zhao Dong beside him inadvertently Looking back, he glanced at the flanking battlefield that had been left behind by them, and suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.

He Dapeng's cavalry fell into a bitter battle. Not only did they not break down the positions of the Yan soldiers, but fell into a passive state.

"General!" he exclaimed in surprise. "Look!"

Zhao Qi turned around, his face had changed color, how could this happen?

"You go to supervise the battle!" He shouted in a deep voice, "Let He Dapeng attack the two wings, and let the infantry behind him attack the central core position. The opponent's bow and crossbow are strong. With the large shield soldiers as the guide, advance slowly and crush the two wings first. Siege the core again!"

Zhao Qi is worthy of being a veteran for many years. He only glanced twice and saw the key point on the battlefield behind him. "Gao Ziqi? When did the Yan army have such a good general? Is this the soldier there?"

"General, it seems to be Liaoxi Fufeng!" Zhao Dong, who had better eyesight, could clearly see the small characters on the side of the high-character flag, which marked the name of the place Gao Yuan came from.

"Fufeng Gaoyuan, I seem to have heard of this name!" Zhao Qi was slightly taken aback, but immediately put the name to the back of his mind, "Go over and command, take it down as soon as possible."

"Yes, General!" Zhao Dong turned around and rode away.

A little farther away, Jiang Dawei also saw the battle in the distance. He was equally astonished, but he had mixed feelings. Although he wished that Gao Yuan would die immediately, the current situation was obvious. Gao Yuan persisted for more time. Longer, the more Zhao soldiers he attracts, the more favorable his form will be, and then, Zhou Yu's final blow will be able to achieve greater results.
