A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 83 The advantage is in me
On the banks of the Huai River.

The two armies faced each other, and tens of thousands of troops gathered here.The Huai country stood in line against the water and was ready to fight.The formation of the allied forces of the princes was completed, and they slowly moved forward. At this time, they happened to see the sun shining in the southern sky, which was very dazzling.Everyone couldn't help turning their heads to block the sun.

It's just that the arrogant Zheng Hou didn't notice this at all, and directly ordered the army to attack.

Seeing the coalition of princes attacking directly, Xu Mao immediately ordered someone to shoot an arrow with a soft bow, and the arrow flew out, and then limply stuck to the ground. Seeing this situation, the coalition of princes laughed, thinking that the Huai army was afraid, so they released it in advance. arrow.He thinks that the army of the Huai State is nothing more than a mob.

Therefore, Zheng Hou didn't put Huaiguo in his eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, he directly ordered the whole army to press up, preparing to push the Huai army directly into the water with all his might.

Seeing that the coalition forces of the princes took the bait, Xu Mao immediately ordered someone to put on a hard bow, and threw a shot at the coalition forces of the princes.

Before the allied forces of the princes could react, they were directly stunned by the wave after wave of arrow rain.At the same time, the chariots of the allied forces of the princes also rushed in, but it was only when it was time that they realized that this place is located on the bank of the Huaihe River, and the land is soft, which is not suitable for chariots to gallop. The car can't charge at all.

The central army array was covered by a large number of wooden halberds, and the chariot hit it, overturned instantly, and was shot to death by arrows or stabbed to death by halberds.

The soldiers following behind also rushed up, wanting to follow the gap that the chariot broke through to attack, but when they rushed to the front of the formation, they found that the chariot could not open the gap at all.

Before these soldiers could react, arrows rained down all over the sky, and the coalition forces of the princes were killed and injured in large numbers.Difficult to advance or retreat for a while, a large number of soldiers had to rush to the army formation desperately.But facing the army formation like hedgehogs, these soldiers had no chance at all, and were directly stabbed to death in front of the formation.

The coalition forces at the back rushed forward holding their shields, but as soon as they rushed to the front of the Huai army formation, they saw densely packed halberds stabbing out from the Huai army formation, and the entire army formation was like a hedgehog.

One of the soldiers of the Huai State raised a shield, another stabbed the enemy with a long halberd, and another beat the enemy violently with a copper hammer.There are bows and arrows in the long range, halberds in the middle range, and copper hammers in the close range, and relying on the large shield of the chariot formation, the coalition forces of the princes hit the battle formation like waves hitting a rock.

Countless blood was splattered like waves, but the Huai country's military formation was like a rock, unshakable.

These long halberds used by the Huai Kingdom are more than one foot long, and the upper halberd heads are forged by the craftsmen of the Huai Kingdom, and they are extremely sharp.Before the coalition army approached, those long halberds stabbed out like poisonous snakes instantly, and the armor on the princes coalition army was pierced through like a thin piece of paper.

For a time, a large number of coalition soldiers were strangled in front of the formation, and many halberds even pierced through two or three princes and coalition soldiers. Arrows continued to fall from the sky. Even the elite could not bear it on such a tragic battlefield. What's more, this coalition army is not elite.

The generals in the coalition army ordered the archers to throw their bows and arrows one after another, trying to open the gap, but as soon as the archers raised their heads, they were pierced by the sun, and they couldn't concentrate for a while. The place is gone.

However, the archers of the Huai Army were not affected at all. Thousands of arrows were fired, and a large number of allied forces of the princes were shot into hedgehogs. Zheng Hou ordered the chariots to charge, and dozens of chariots rushed forward, or were directly hit by the rain of arrows. Shooting, or hitting the front baffle and halberd, the Huai army's formation was almost motionless.

The army's attack did not make any progress. Instead, one of its own people fell down one after another. The high morale of the coalition army was like a waterfall at this moment, and the entire army began to collapse.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Hou turned pale with fright. He never thought that the [-] army besieged [-], and the situation that was originally a stable victory, suddenly turned around?
The heavy casualties made the coalition forces unable to bear it any longer, and a large number of soldiers began to retreat and flee.Seeing this situation, Xu Mao immediately ordered the army to attack and hunt them down.

The impatient army that had been waiting for a long time was dispatched immediately, and the rumbling wheels of the chariot started instantly.Originally, the Huai army was on a dirt slope, but now the chariot charged, it was extremely fast and invincible.

Hundreds of chariots were launched together, and those slow-running coalition soldiers were knocked down directly under the chariots, and then the wheels rolled over in an instant, and the soldiers were suddenly gutted.Hundreds of chariots were like hundreds of sharp swords, chasing after the fleeing coalition soldiers.

The coalition soldiers began to flee in a panic, but how could they run with two legs better than four?The chariots rampaged, killing a large number of soldiers, stabbing repeatedly, killing one soldier after another.The battle formation of the coalition forces was completely overwhelmed by the chariot, and the soldiers who followed the chariot rushed up one after another.

When many chariots saw the big banner of the coalition army, they rushed towards it directly. Zheng Zhuanggong's Chinese army had no time to resist, and was scattered by the defeated army.The army of the Huai country charged straight away, and the places they passed were as if they were destroyed, and they were directly crushed.

"Your Majesty, let's go!" Seeing the landslide of the army, the surrounding officials hurriedly pulled Zheng Hou into the chariot and fled for their lives.

As soon as these people escaped, the morale of the entire coalition army completely dissipated, and all the soldiers began to drop their weapons and armor and flee in all directions.The army was defeated like a mountain, and everyone rushed to escape. The Huai army did not have to worry about the enemy's counterattack at all, and countless soldiers were killed and injured.

In the battle just now, the Allied forces attacked, which consumed a lot of physical strength. The Huai army recharged their batteries and started chasing them. The soldiers of the Allied forces were soon caught up by the soldiers of the Huai army, and then beheaded with a single sword.

Many coalition soldiers who couldn't run knelt down and begged for surrender. The Huai army spared the surrendered soldiers and continued to chase and kill the coalition forces.

Xu Mao ordered the whole army to go out in pursuit, and the army chased and killed for thirty miles. The coalition forces of the princes and allied forces were strewn with corpses along the way, and countless people surrendered.

Only those princes who saw the situation were not going well fled by car, and the [-] troops disappeared in the first battle.

When the sky was getting dark, the Huai State army also returned one after another. All the chariots were covered with heads, and there were teams of prisoners behind them. The results of the Huai State army were astonishing.

In a great battle, the Huai army had few casualties, more than 1 coalition troops were killed, and more than [-] were captured. Only a few thousand people fled, and all the Minzhuang escorting food and supplies were captured.

The entire Huai army camp was full of joy. Xu Mao ordered the prisoners to be escorted to clean up the battlefield. All the dead coalition soldiers were directly burned and buried to prevent pollution of the river.Those who were seriously injured were killed directly, while those who were slightly injured and could be treated were left behind.

The army won the first battle, and Xu Mao immediately sent envoys to report the victory to Wang Sheng. At the same time, he arranged for manpower to escort the captive slaves back to Huai'an.

But the moon formation, the infantry battle formation, the formation with the back of the water, the formation is like a crescent moon, it is an formation where the weak defeat the strong, and the few defeat the many.Wu Zhaogong Xu Qing and Zheng Hou fought in Huaibei and won a big victory. —— "Martial Arts General Essentials Battle Formation Quest Moon Formation"
