The last three kingdoms

Chapter 986
After being reborn in this world, Liu Yin has indeed fought countless battles, but this kind of head-to-head confrontation is rare, and more often, he relies on his strategy and wisdom to break a thousand catties with cleverness.

In fact, this is also a kind of helplessness. Among the Three Kingdoms, the weakest state is the Kingdom of Shu, and the node of Liu Yin's rebirth is the moment when Shu is about to perish. It is a place where surprise soldiers take risks, skillfully maneuver, fight one battle after another, and strengthen himself step by step. Now that he has the strength to be on an equal footing with his opponents, Liu Yin naturally no longer needs to rack his brains to design. It is indeed Liu Yin's wish to defeat an opponent head-on, especially a famous general like Wen Yang.

Although the Shu army was advancing step by step, the speed of advancement was not slow, and it soon approached the Jin army camp in Gaoliangyi.

Wen Yang is also longing for this battle. In fact, since the outbreak of war between Jin and Shu, Wen Yang has not performed very well. Although he has made little achievements on the Jizhou battlefield, he has been submerged in Sima Jun's Anguo fiasco.

This time he marched into Bingzhou and captured Shangdang. Despite the applause from the government and the public, Wen Yang knew very well in his heart that the Shangdang area did not have much strength from the Shu army. Taking down Shangdang did not prove his ability. This time he attacked Pingyang , is the time for Wenyang to display his personal talents. Only when he truly defeated the main force of the Shu army in the battle of Gaoliangyi, could it be possible to fundamentally defeat and eliminate the Shu army.

Therefore, Wenyang attaches great importance to this battle. Although on the surface, it seems that Shu is attacking Jin and defending, and the Jin army is in a passive position to meet the enemy, but Wenyang does not think so. This battle will be a frontal battle for both sides. The collision, the shrinking force of the Jin army was not the fear of the Shu army, but the kind of restraint before the outbreak of strength. If you want to punch out harder and harder, you must know how to retract your fist.

What Wenyang is doing now is to close his fists. He is making all the preparations and is ready to go.Although Wen Yang and Liu Yin have their own thoughts, they are extremely concerned about the upcoming battle, and they are very active in arranging troops and preparing everything needed for the battle.

Wenyang's formation is still the combined infantry and cavalry formation commonly used by the Jin army. This formation combines both offense and defense, and is an ideal offensive and defensive formation. When providing flank protection for the infantry phalanx, it will not lose the powerful impact of the cavalry. When attacking, the vivid two wings fly together, like two sharp knives, which can tear through any solid defense line of the enemy.

As the soldiers of the Shu army approached, Wen Yang immediately confronted each other, forming a battle formation to resist the enemy.

The battle formation of 5 people is indeed spectacular, with a huge momentum, and it is like swallowing mountains and rivers.

Wen Yang rode on the horse with great ambitions. To be able to personally command a battle of this scale, Wen Yang is full of pride. He is full of confidence in this battle, especially knowing that in this battle, the elite cavalry of the Shu army are just watching the fire from the other side. Without really putting themselves on the battlefield, the main force of the Shu army was all infantry, which made Wenyang more confident in winning.

Liu Yin did not use cavalry in this battle, and the Tiger Cavalry was placed aside as a reserve army, watching from the sidelines on the west bank of Fenshui. The first to enter the battlefield were the three infantry corps of the Shu army.

Moreover, Liu Yin did not use side-cars. Although in many previous battles, the side-car formations of the Shu army showed great power, but this formation only works against cavalry. For those with heavy shields, the attack speed is slow As far as infantry is concerned, it will not play an obvious role.

Due to the strong defense of the infantry, it is difficult for the bows and arrows behind the van to hurt them. The infantry advances layer by layer. Once they get close to the front of the van, the defense of the van will lose its effect, and the infantry can easily destroy it. These vans.

It was this mixed formation of infantry and cavalry that gave Liu Yin a headache. If it was pure infantry, it would not be difficult to deal with it at all. If it was pure cavalry, it could be easily dealt with.But Liu Yin didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of combined infantry and cavalry formation.

The biggest advantage of infantry and cavalry formation is that infantry and cavalry complement each other and form a seamless body. Cavalry provides flank protection for infantry. At the same time, infantry phalanx with strong defense can also be used for attack when cavalry attacks are fruitless and the situation cannot be opened. among.

However, this kind of battle formation has a weakness that the infantry moves slowly. When attacking, it will drag down the speed of the cavalry. If the speed of the cavalry cannot be increased, the impact of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.

In view of this, Liu Yin launched a brand new battle formation - wedge battle formation.The biggest feature of this battle formation is that its front end is not in a straight line like a normal formation, but arranged in a zigzag shape. From a distance, it looks like a wave, with ups and downs.

At the tip of each sawtooth, there are heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, equipped with thick giant shields, heavy armor and giant shield. This combination of defense is extremely terrifying, like a hard shell of a turtle. The Jin army wants to Break through this layer of defense and try to reach the sky.

Behind the giant shield soldiers are also heavy infantry armed with spears. The entire tip of the sawtooth is composed of heavy armor armed to the teeth. Only behind the sawtooth are there a large number of crossbowmen.The heavy armor made the offensive speed of the entire wedge-shaped battle formation of the Shu army seriously sluggish. On the battlefield, they could only advance slowly.

Wen Yang was deeply inexplicable by this strange battle formation launched by the Shu army. In this era, infantry confrontations are mostly square formations, with occasional spindle-shaped attack formations, but a zigzag battle formation like the Shu army, Wen Yang It is unheard of, but this will not hinder Wenyang's confidence in winning this battle. It doesn't matter what formation the Shu army forms. It's just that the Shu army has only infantry and no cavalry. Wenyang still doesn't take it to heart. .

Seeing that the battle formation of the Shu army was moving very slowly, Wen Yang decided to act first, but for the sake of caution, he still attacked the infantry and cavalry at the same time. After all, the cavalry has the advantages and disadvantages of the cavalry, and the infantry has the advantages and disadvantages of the infantry. , the two can learn from each other's strengths and fully carry out cooperative operations.

With Wen Yang's order, the Jin Army's battle formation launched a full-scale attack. Although the speed was not fast, it rushed towards the Shu Army's battle formation with an unstoppable momentum like a raging tide. It collided with the front end of the sawtooth of the Shu army.

Just like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, this confrontation between the two sides must be earth-shattering.
