The last three kingdoms

Chapter 992
Soon, the scout soldiers turned back and said excitedly to Wen Yang: "General Wen, General Duan personally led the troops to meet the general."

When Wen Yang and the others heard the news, they felt a little relieved, as long as they were members of the Jin army, everyone's suspended hearts could finally be put back in their stomachs with peace of mind.

Duan Guang originally led 2 troops to garrison Shangdang. Hearing that Wen Yang had fought fiercely with the Shu army after he arrived in Pingyang, Duan Guang led a team to meet him. At the foot of the mountain, there were countless troops approaching. Duan Guang couldn't figure out whose troops it was, so he had to form a defensive formation on the top of the mountain, wanting to see clearly before making further plans.

If it was the soldiers of the Shu army who came to attack Shangdang, Duan Guang could just take advantage of the danger to resist and keep the Shu army out of the mountain. If it was the troops of the Jin army, it would be even easier. Can.

Duan Guang, who was still on the mountain, soon discovered that a few scouts from the other side were active. Most of the scouts were disguised, and it was unrealistic to distinguish them only by their appearance.

However, the scouts found Duan Guang's army, and the all-white color was very telling. Overjoyed, the scouts got in touch with the Jin army on the mountain, and only then did they know that it was Duan Guang who led the troops himself. Come here, and immediately go back to report the good news to Wenyang.

Duan Guang also knew that the one coming down the mountain was none other than Wen Yang, the deputy governor of the Left Army, and he didn't dare to rush down the mountain himself to meet Wen Yang.

Duan Guang came down the mountain, and after meeting Wen Yang, he saw that Wen Yang's army was in poor condition and their armor was torn, so he couldn't help asking why?

Wen Yang did not hide anything, and simply told Duan Guang the situation of the Battle of Gaoliangyi. Duan Guang was stunned when he heard about it.

"General Wen doesn't need to worry, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. After returning to Shangdang, it's not too late to reorganize the troops and win Pingyang." Duan Guang comforted Wenyang.

Clean up the troops and make a comeback?Wen Yang secretly gave a wry smile, I am afraid that such an opportunity will never come again.However, after hearing a few words of comfort from Duan Guang, Wenyang felt a little relieved. In any case, he did not encounter an ambush from the Shu army. There are 1 troops stationed in Shangshangdang, and there are more than 2 troops in their own hands. They still have the power to fight. No matter what, let's go back to Shangdang first.

So Wenyang led his troops over the mountains and retreated to Shangdang County.

When Wenyang escaped, the Shu army was cleaning up the mess. After all, it was not easy to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation when the troops were roughly similar in strength. But escape is still more than enough. After letting Wen Yang and other 1 people escape, the Shu army was able to intercept more than 2 people from the Jin army, which is indeed not bad.

Of course, it will take a lot of time to eliminate these 2 people. Let alone 2 people, even [-] pigs will be extremely difficult to catch. What's more, these people hold knives and guns. But the instinct of survival still made them fight to the death, trying to break a bloody path.

The encirclement circle of the Shu army became tighter and tighter, and the living space left for the Jin army became narrower and narrower. The Shu army cooperated closely with infantry and cavalry, divided and surrounded the remaining Jin army into smaller encirclements, and then encircled and wiped them out.

The desperate Jin army could not see any way out. Amidst the calls of the Shu army to persuade them to surrender, most people still put down their swords and guns and chose to surrender. Only a small number of people were still stubbornly resisting, but their fate Obviously, it is easy to see that he was slaughtered and died on the spot.

The entire battlefield in Gaoliang City was strewn with corpses, most of which were left by the Jin army. With the generals and deputy generals already running away, the resistance of the remaining troops of the Jin army was indeed limited. There are many.

The battle quickly came to an end, but cleaning up the battlefield was also a huge task. When Wenyang fled, he fled lightly. In addition to the army of 5 horses, the Shu army has gained a lot.

This battle was fought so beautifully that it could almost be called a complete victory except for the escape of Wen Yang and others. The generals and soldiers of the Shu army cheered and released their joy to their heart's content.

Fu Qian sighed and said: "Wenxuan, your wedge-shaped battle formation is wonderful. The Jin army is firmly suppressed. No matter how they attack, they can't break through the wedge-shaped battle formation's defense. With the tiger cavalry, Wen Yang can't think of it." It's hard to lose this battle. I didn't think there was anything special about you practicing the wedge formation before, but it's an eye-opener when you use it in actual combat today."

Liu Yin smiled slightly. The wedge-shaped battle formation was the ultimate skill of the Romans. In the history of the Roman army's conquests, it was a magic weapon for invincibility. Wen Yang had never seen the power of the wedge-shaped battle formation before, so he naturally didn't know about it. The water inside is shallow, launching an attack rashly is equivalent to bumping into an iron wall, how can you not lose?
The power of the wedge-shaped battle formation is its defense. The heavy armored infantry and the heavy giant shield form a long steel wall that can move. In the sawtooth, there is almost no room for escape, and it is completely crushed and strangled.

In addition to the slightly poor maneuverability of the wedge-shaped battle formation, it can be said that it is invincible at both ends of attack and defense. Otherwise, the Roman army would not be able to sweep the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe with it.

"That's right. The wedge-shaped battle formation usually looks very cumbersome, but the effect in actual combat is good. The Jin army has the advantage of cavalry. If we can't resist its cavalry offensive, we will lose this battle before we fight it. The wedge-shaped battle formation and the side-car formation are both formations to restrain the cavalry, as long as they can suppress the cavalry of the Jin army, it will be difficult for them to stand up." Liu Yin explained with a smile.

Fu Qian nodded deeply. In the past, when he fought with the Wei army, he often suffered from the cavalry of the Wei army. The Shu army was still capable of fighting in the Qinling Mountains, but once it entered the plains, it was always subject to the cavalry of the Wei State. This is also the Northern Expedition. In the early stage, the Kingdom of Shu always achieved certain victories, but in the later stages, it always failed.

It seems that whether the cavalry of the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be restrained is the key to victory in the decisive battle.
