At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 619 Battle of Yanmen

With the sound of war drums and the sound of killing, outside Yanmen City, the decisive battle between the Qi and Liu armies was imminent.The defenders in Yanmen City couldn't help but gather on the top of Xicheng to watch the excitement. After all, everyone knew that the battle outside the city would determine the ownership of Yanmen City and their fate.

In the minds of the defenders, they are naturally more inclined to surrender to the Qi army for three reasons.First, they have been fighting Liu Wuzhou for nearly a year, and they have formed an indissoluble hatred for each other; second, Qi is rich, rich in things and people, and it is known that the king of Qi is benevolent and righteous, and the people there live well. Very good, the defenders are naturally yearning for it; third, Liu Wuzhou surrendered to the Turks, willing to be a lackey of the Yi tribe, and lured wolves into the house. As Sui people, the defenders naturally spurned Liu Wuzhou emotionally.

Therefore, if they wanted to surrender, the defenders would naturally be more willing to surrender to the Qi army.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyi, the prefect of Yanmen, was also standing on the top of the city wall, looking out of the city with a canopy in his hands, observing the development of the battle without saying a word, while the old servant named Jiang was standing by the side with a knife in his hand.

"The Qi army is too big. Its strength is not even half of Liu Wuzhou's, yet they dare to fight Liu Wuzhou head-on. What's more, Liu Wuzhou's army has a thousand cavalry cavalry to help out. The Qi army will definitely lose this battle." The old servant said regretfully. He shook his head and said.

Chen Xiaoyi frowned and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Li Jing is proficient in the art of war. He is a genius in using troops. He is good at defeating many with less. Since he became the governor of the county, the law and order in Shanggu County, where bandits were rampant in the past, has become better and better. Those bandits who roared in the mountains Almost all the classes were wiped out by him. Liu Wuzhou's fierce general Song Jingang was once a tyrant in Shanggu County, and he was also beaten to death by Li Jing. This person is even more handsome, since his debut, he has fought all over the world without defeat, since these two dared to make such a big deal, they probably have something to rely on."

After Chen Xiaoyi finished speaking, he pointed and said: "Look, Old Jiang, although the Qi army is small in number, they are well-equipped, well-organized and well-organized, and they are also very particular about their formation."

The old servant looked around and saw that the formation of the Qi army was like a moon blade with the blade facing outwards. The sword and shield hands were combined with the spearmen, but he saw that the shield was like a wall, and the spears were like a forest. It is daunting; the cavalry on both wings are armored, ready to go, the main force of the Chinese army is flying, sharpening their knives; there are rows of trebuchets and bed crossbows in the rear army positions. These heavy equipment all show the strength of the Qi army. In addition, the Qi army's central army's murderous aura is looming, and it seems that there are still unknown killer moves hidden.

At this moment, if Liu Jun is said to be an overwhelming flood, then Qi Jun is an unmoving rock, as stable as Mount Tai in the stormy sea.

The roar of horseshoes shook the heavens and the earth, and a cavalry suddenly rushed out from Liu Jun's formation, kicking sand and stones all over the sky, with murderous aura soaring into the sky, like an indestructible sharp knife, slashing straight at the Qi army's formation.

Turkic cavalry! ! !

That's right, the sudden cavalry was Liu Wuzhou's trump card - the Turkic cavalry.Liu Wu threw out the strongest combat power on Monday, obviously intending to tear the Qi army's battle formation in one fell swoop, and then use the absolute superiority in strength to cover up and kill the Qi army, completely crushing the Qi army.

I have to say that the combat power of the Turkic cavalry is indeed extremely powerful. The nation on horseback is really not built. The riding and archery skills are unrivaled in the world. Thousands of riders, but they charge like thousands of horses and horses, that terrifying aura really makes one's heart tremble, Rao Bufan, can't help but sweat at this moment.

Li Jing's face was calm, holding a five-color order flag, commanding as if determined!

The Turkic cavalry came quickly, like lightning, and they began to bow and shoot arrows 130 steps away, a full thirty steps faster than the cavalry of the Qi army. This means that if the cavalry is against the cavalry, the Turkic cavalry can at least It is undoubtedly a huge advantage to shoot two rounds first.

However, Li Jing did not send out cavalry, because he would never attack the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses, so he raised flags to order the infantry to defend.

The sword and shield fighters at the front of the crescent formation squatted down immediately, and the giant shield was raised obliquely upwards to form an airtight shield wall, while the spearman's spear protruded from the gap in the shield wall, pointing forward at a 45-degree angle. .

The next moment, the first wave of rain arrows from the Turkic cavalry came, hitting the shield wall with a tinkling sound.

"Let go!" With a stern shout, the catapults and bed crossbows of the Qi army's rear array roared out, and the stones and giant arrows roared out, slamming into the Turkic cavalry formation, and blood and flesh flew all over the place. broken.

However, the speed of the Turkic cavalry was too fast. The catapult and the bed crossbow had only time to launch once, and the Turkic cavalry had already reached the front. Within this range, the catapult and the bed crossbow were out of reach.

bang...

The Turkic cavalry slammed into the shield formation of the Qi army fiercely. Although a considerable part of the Turkic cavalry was stabbed to death and wounded by the spear formation, the shield formation of the Qi army was also smashed to pieces. The shield hand was knocked upside down by the huge impact, spurting blood wildly, and then was trampled into flesh by the following Turkic cavalry.

The battle was simple, brutal and bloody. The Turkic cavalry charged repeatedly, advancing more than ten meters, and finally slowed down. The crescent formation of the Qi army resisted the impact of the Turkic cavalry, and the spearmen stabbed fiercely under the cover of the shield formation And the hook and sickle gun specially designed to deal with cavalry also protruded out of nowhere, specifically hooking the horse's feet of the Turkic cavalry.

The hook sickle spear is extremely sharp, as long as it hooks the horse's foot and pulls it, the horse's foot will be hooked off. The Turkic cavalry lost their horses, and their combat power was immediately reduced by more than half.

However, these Turkic cavalry were not stupid. Seeing that they could not break through the shield formation, they immediately turned their horses' heads and maneuvered, hitting the shield formation repeatedly with the help of speed, so the casualties of the Qi army were not light.

At this time, Liu Wuzhou ordered Song Jingang and Xunxiang each to attack the two wings of the Qi army with a cavalry force.

"It's weird, why doesn't the Qi army use cavalry?" Chen Xiaoyi, who was watching the battle from the top of the city, looked puzzled, because from the beginning to the end, the Qi army only used infantry to form a defensive formation, and the cavalry on the two wings have been standing still, and they don't know what they are waiting for.

At this time, almost all of Liu Jun's cavalry was dispatched. Although the Qi Army's formation was tight, it was obviously loose after repeated impacts by the three cavalry of Liu Jun, and there was a sign of retreat. , the defeat is set.

Seeing this, Liu Wuzhou couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that Li Jing was nothing more than that, at first he didn't send cavalry to fight, but now he has no chance.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The drums of war were rushing like rain, Liu Jun's morale was high, and the infantry formed a square formation, shouting and rushing forward, trying to completely crush and tear up the entire new moon formation!
A cold light flashed in Li Jing's eyes. He was waiting for this moment, and immediately unleashed the command flag, and the trebuchet and bed crossbow opened fire with all their strength, but this time the trebuchet fired thunder instead of stones.

boom boom boom...

Fei Tianlei fell into Liu Jun's infantry phalanx, and immediately exploded in all directions, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and mourning was everywhere!
The infantry does not have the maneuvering speed of the cavalry, so the trebuchet has enough time to launch several rounds, which is enough for Liu Jun to drink a pot, and the formation of the infantry is dense, and a flying thunder falls and explodes, immediately blowing up the infantry team Make a big "hole".

Although the scattered iron fragments and rubble will not kill people immediately, they will lose their combat effectiveness immediately when they are hit. Countless wounded soldiers are lying bloodied around the crater, wailing incessantly. The impact can be imagined.

So after a round of bombing, Liu Jun's infantry phalanx was in disarray, and even stopped in fright, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Liu Wuzhou was scared out of his wits, and said in a voiceless voice: "What the hell?"

Chen Xiaoyi, who was watching the battle from the top of the city, was also shocked. What kind of weapon the Qi army used was too scary. It was unheard of and unseen!
At this moment, on a hill outside and outside the battlefield, a man in black wearing a golden ghost mask was standing on the top of a tree, his eyes were also full of surprise, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Let's say that after the Qi army fired several rounds of flying thunder, the crescent moon formation suddenly parted. The Turkic cavalry who were launching an attack were stunned for a moment.

However, in the next second, the Turkic cavalry regretted it, and saw that the Qi army's central army phalanx suddenly separated, revealing rows of chariots. No, it was not a chariot, but something that looked like a chariot. It is estimated that there are hundreds of such bamboo tubes in each chariot, and the black holes are aimed at the oncoming Turkic cavalry.

All the Turkic cavalry made a sudden attack, and in the next second there was a buzzing sound, and countless short crossbows roared out, as dense as locusts. There was a lot of stubble, and people and horses shot into honeycombs.

The rest of the Turkic cavalry were scared out of their wits, but at this time, the cavalry on the two wings of the Qi army finally moved, and they rushed out to sea like a dragon, smashing the Turkic cavalry who had already been killed and injured more than half in one fell swoop.

"Kill!" The Qi army's two cavalry had been suffocated for a long time. At this time, they let go to charge and kill. They are absolutely overwhelming, and their horse armor (leather armor) and equipment occupy an absolute advantage. The momentum of the Turkic cavalry and Liu Jun's cavalry has been exhausted. , how to resist.

At this time, Li Jing waved the command flag again, and the infantry advanced and launched a counterattack.If Zhang Xutuo's Bafeng Battalion is invincible, then the infantry built by Li Jing is also unrivaled in the world. A team of seven or three, with a combination of long and short weapons, is really fast and efficient in killing.

Zhang Xutuo's Bafeng Battalion likes to shout, and they are full of momentum, while Li Jing's infantry are silently killing, the team and the team, the team and the team are well coordinated, both offensive and defensive, and they advance without any haste. , Wherever you go, you will leave dead bodies all over the ground.
