Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1224 The End of Linjin City

Seeing the Southern Huns cavalry rushing out first to stop them, after confronting the western conquest troops, they were like leaves damaged by frost in late autumn, falling down one after another after a little movement, like the tidbits of dandelions, a bit The breeze just scattered away, as if it had no effect at all. Such a scene, such a result, inevitably made the Southern Huns panic, and even saw their own pale face from the faces of others beside them.

The horseshoes of the Zhengxi cavalry flew straight across the middle of the battlefield, spread out slightly, and then pressed towards the Yang Jun and Huchuquan coalition forces at a slight angle to the left and right wings, leaving only a large number of Southern Huns cavalry The dead body of the Huns lay in the middle of the battlefield, and there were more than a dozen or so Hun war horses, who were at a loss and wailed on the cruel and **** battlefield with their horse heads arching the corpse of their original owner.

Fei Qian stands under the three-color battle flag, even though he is often on the battlefield, but in front of such an excellent performance full of speed and strength, there is still no other way to vent except for the blood rushing up and loud cheers .

  The sorrow of fighting against the six scum can only be shouted six six six in the rear...

  However, as a commander, Fei Qian still noticed the extraordinaryness of the two generals in command of the cavalry under him. Zhao Yun would not say anything about it, but Gan Feng's performance did surprise Fei Qian.

Perhaps most people think that the cavalry's hedging, or charging into the formation, is a straight horse and a whip. After experiencing many cavalry battles from Bingbei to Guanzhong, Feiqian discovered the ingenuity of this, It is by no means something that laymen can easily do.

   Only those who are proficient in the use of cavalry tactics, as natural as breathing, can be called cavaliers, otherwise they are at most just ordinary commanders, even Fei Qian is no exception. Let Fei Qian command the cavalry, but to let the cavalry exert ten or even twelve levels of power on the battlefield, there must be a qualified cavalry general.

   Fortunately, Zhao Yun is, and so is Gan Feng.

When the cavalry hedges, it is more like two combs with opposite teeth, passing by each other. Of course, there are also those who are not well positioned and directly collide. The role of the cavalry is to adjust sharply during the high-speed staggering Position and direction, while maintaining one's own formation, find the central node of the opponent's command, and carry out the greatest damage in the short time of staggering, and even kill the opponent's front-line commanding general in one fell swoop.

   Such a complex and fine cavalry control ability and battle formation fighting ability cannot be swayed by a half bucket of water like Fei Qian.

   And just after crossing the half court and heading towards the opponent's wings, the slight angle adjustment made Fei Qian feel remarkable and admired him.

Slightly widening the angle not only allows the imperceptibly slowed speed to gain more space to increase the speed again after the hedging is completed, but also shortens the distance from the central pawns led by Yang Jun so that it will not be too far away. Being too close to the infantry line and being hit by arrows and other long-range attacks, and more importantly, the impact angle of the cavalry further squeezes the space of the opponent's battle formation, and it is easier for the opponent to cause confusion when mobilizing the infantry battle formation to deal with it. .

  Ordinary generals command cavalry to attack infantry. I am afraid that most of them will directly choose to charge head-on, but in fact, the cavalry formations commanded by real cavalry generals all cut in with a little angle. If the opponent's **** general does not respond properly and does not adjust the steering in time, it is tantamount to exposing himself from the side.

   Feiqian, who was dangling in half a bucket of water, could clearly sense the sharpness of Zhao Yun and Gan Feng's two cavalrymen. How could Huchuquan and the Southern Huns, who had been hanging out on horseback all their lives, not know?

The left and right wings listed by the Southern Huns were not thick in the first place, and there was no reserve force. Therefore, such a thin array was really difficult to resist in front of such a powerful attacking force of the Xixi cavalry. Attacking under Jincheng, even the arrows in his hands have been exhausted, and it is impossible to use bows and arrows to shoot and block at a long distance.

Seeing that the Zhengxi cavalry quickly resolved the intercepted part of the Xiongnu cavalry, pulled it away slightly again, and then readjusted the angle. Originally, the entire Southern Huns array was stirred up, and some people wanted to go out. , some people are shrinking inward, some people are shouting loudly, some people are praying in a low voice, all kinds of people are always mixed together, and the war horses seem to feel such a tense atmosphere, neighing and commotion, adding a few more It was very disorderly, and even the loud orders of the bottom ten cavalry commanders and hundred cavalry commanders in the array did not have much obvious effect.

   "Youxian King!"

Seeing that Youxian King has not given orders to the left and right big households belonging to the left and right wings for a long time, and the horses and horseshoes of the Zhengxi cavalry are flying, getting closer and closer, even the guards around Huchuquan are a little anxious, holding back Can't help shouting.

   "..." Hu Chuquan's face was ashen, his eyes flickering.

At this distance, Hu Chuquan could already see the figure of the Zhengxi cavalry rushing forward, and he could also see the blood stains on the armor of the Zhengxi cavalry, the dirt where the horses galloped, and the The raised swords and guns and the fighting spirit...

  There is only one voice in Hu Chuquan's heart, and he has been thinking over and over again since the beginning: "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

Going south to Guanzhong, Hu Chuquan originally planned to create the second spring of the Southern Huns. Well, maybe this word is not accurate, and it should be the Nth spring. Good wishes come, but at the moment, these beautiful wishes and longings are as fragile as bubbles before the sharp soldiers of Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west.

   "Youxian King! What should we do?!" The soldiers asked loudly.

   What to do, yes, what to do?

   Not only is it a question of what to do in the next moment, but also how to go next?

   Continue to follow Yang Biao, Zheng Gan and other Han people to the end, or seek other paths?

  Although the right and left big players follow themselves, how long can they follow their orders after not getting enough benefits?

  What will happen to my own people in the future, and what arrangements will be made for the tribe left behind in Gaonu?

  At this moment, countless questions floated in Hu Chuquan's mind, but he couldn't find any answers at a loss.

  The soldiers beside Hu Chuquan couldn't bear it after all, and said in a hurried tone: "Youxian King! There is no time! Otherwise, I won't be able to run!"

  Although what the soldiers said in a hurry was thoughtless, Hu Chuquan still understood the meaning. The biggest advantage of the cavalry is the combination of speed and strength. Without speed, it is like lame a leg.

  Hu Chuquan's face finally loosened. He squinted at Yang Jun's pawns in the center, and said in a deep voice, "Let's retreat! Let them fight first!"

  Damn Zheng Gan and Yang Jun!

  If it weren’t for these few Han people who swore that General Fei Qian of Zhengxi was dead, how could he go south and encounter such a situation? !

  Since these Han people have cheated me, why should I die for these Han people to resist the advance of General Zhengxi? What's more, my son Lang is also exhausted these days, how can he compete with the vigorous Zhengxi soldiers who came here with momentum?

Although Hu Chuquan may not be able to understand the meaning of the phrase "dead friends are not dead poor Taoists", but the best way for him now is to use Yang Jun's infantry battle formation to hold back the footsteps of Zhengxi cavalry and consume Zhengxi cavalry When these Zhengxi cavalry lose their speed in Yang Jun's infantry battle and stick to it, it is the best time for Hu Chuquan's Erlang to counterattack!

  The horn of the Southern Huns blew, but instead of attacking forward, they were retreating backward, which made Yang Jun immediately dumbfounded.

In the past few days, he rushed from Hongnong to Guanzhong, first conquered Tongguan, and then came to Linjin City without rest. Even Yang Jun himself spent the night in a temporary tent last night, let alone ordinary people. Soldiers and civilians, most of them didn't even have time to set up tents in order to catch up with the siege equipment and attack Linjin City. They just built a nest in a sheltered place, let alone a strong field camp Clicked.

  Originally, Yang Jun and Hu Chuquan had very similar ideas. They both felt that Linjin City was about to be captured, so there was no need to waste time and effort to build a camp. It would be better to use all their strength to capture Linjin City as soon as possible.

  In fact, the actual situation is indeed the case, if not for the arrival of the army led by General Fei Qian.

The problem is, when General Fei Qian led the army to the west, Yang Juncai realized that if he spent an extra day, he would not be in such a hurry to attack the city, but how good it would be to build a slightly stronger camp for himself, maybe now It won't be so passive.

Infantry is no better than cavalry. During the hundreds of years of fighting with the Han people, the Hu people have long formed a set of combat modes that gather together to fight, lose and then disperse, and reunite after a long time. Like a giant, after being hit hard, it will scatter into a large area and escape. Even if the Han people chase and destroy some of them, they will not suffer serious body damage. When there is a lack of food and water in the desert, they will regroup to counterattack.

   Therefore, it is not a big problem for the Hu people to run away, but as the Han people, especially the infantry-based formation, once they run away, it is simply a natural disaster. It is not easy to regroup the scattered infantry.

  So Hu Chuquan can retire, but Yang Jun can't retreat at all.

  No refunds.

   Keep and have nowhere to keep.

Yang Jun's original idea was to let Hu Chuquan fight with Zhengxi's cavalry for a while, and after exhausting Zhengxi's energy, Yang Jun led the infantry to press up step by step, dragging down Zhengxi's cavalry, just like the Han people back then In the desert, it is the same as the Northern Huns' tactics.

   But the problem is, Hu Chuquan thinks the same way.

   Now it is obvious that Hu Chuquan sees that the situation is not good. After the first wave of blocking is ineffective, he decides to let Yang Jun's infantry resist and stick to the speed and pace of Zhengxi cavalry.

  Yang Jun suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Gan, his eyes almost burst into flames, Zheng Gan shrank his head in fright, trembling all over his body.

   "Come on! Wear orders! Gather arrays! Gather circle arrays! Quick, quick! Quick!"

  Since they could not retreat, all they had to do was fight to the death. In the face of the cavalry who came and went like the wind, the only way for the infantry was to gather together and form a circular formation to resist.

Standing on the slope, Fei Qian saw Hu Chuquan leading the cavalry and began to flee backwards, while Yang Jun was forced to drum and trumpet frequently and wave flags indiscriminately, obviously wanting to gather on the spot and resist , couldn't help laughing, pointed with the Zhongxing sword, and said: "Decree, divide the troops on the two wings, and be alert after chasing for twenty miles! The rest of the troops, follow me forward!"

Although Fei Qian is not a genius on the battlefield, but after these three or four years, he has seen large and small battle formations, and naturally he has some experience and almost instinctive intuition. After Jun chose the battlefield, Fei Qian knew almost immediately that the battle of Linjin was over.

Hu Chuquan's plan is correct, temporarily force back the edge, let Yang Jun's pawns absorb the firepower, and then enter when the two sides are stalemate, to decide the victory; Expose the flaws in the flanks.

   Neither of them can say wrong, but the basis of the whole plan is wrong, which means that no matter how well planned the process is, the result is still doomed to be wrong.

Commanding hundreds of people, thousands of people, and commanding tens of thousands of people is not a simple addition and change on a quantitative level, but a huge step of difficulty. The increase in the number of people is not only the increase in combat power, but also the geometry of the difficulty of the command system. Multiple growth, a team of 1,000 people, maybe a few loud soldiers shouted a few times, and it can be delivered in place, but after nearly 10,000 or even tens of thousands, if you want to make a dispatch, you can't solve it with just a few words problem.

  Hu Chuquan evacuated first, leaving Yang Jun behind, even if everyone sticks together and comes back again after gathering, how long will it take for this trip, and how long can Yang Jun's formation last?

Looking at the infantry of Commander Yang Jun, although there are a large number of them, the overall number is even close to twice that of Fei Qian's troops, but Fei Qian can clearly tell that about half of them are civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers. Running around without a clue under Jun's order...

After all, Yang Jun is not a commander who came out of a serious fight, but a temporary third-rate general with more theoretical experience than actual experience. He has not shown any disadvantages in dealing with ordinary battles. In the current emergency situation, the shortest piece on the bucket is finally completely exposed. out.

Although it is said that the three formations are the most basic formation structure, such as the one-word long snake formation, the square formation, and the circular formation, but they are for trained pawns. It is already quite good for civilian husbands to be able to distinguish front, back, left, and right. Now, how can you expect these civilian husbands to understand the various advances and retreats that Yang Jun is about to become in the circle?

What's more, the current change of formation is not only about advancing and retreating, but also about complex internal and external movements. The trained ordinary soldiers can still move and change positions according to orders, but those civilians are under tension, and they just listen to the words in their ears. You may not be able to hear the roar, so what about orderly transformation?

The westward cavalry on the left and right flanks unanimously separated a small part to chase the fleeing Hun cavalry. After chasing a certain distance, this part of the troops would disperse and become a network of battlefield scouts, while most of the other cavalry were Under the command of Zhao Yun and Gan Feng, they began to target Yang Jun's infantry formation in the middle.

   Fei Qian led the remaining one-third of the cavalry, and began to advance from the slope.

The banner used by Yang Jun’s army to send orders was waved wildly. The grassroots officers tried to control and direct the direction of the soldiers with loud voices, but with little success. Many of Yang Jun’s soldiers were still at a loss, and some didn’t know whether they should go left or To the right, some even collided with another team, pushing each other and no one could move...

Seeing that the Zhengxi cavalry was getting closer, Yang Jun's soldiers became more and more flustered, shouting, and the soldiers running around were like boiling rice porridge. Push the lids away together!

Fei Qian could even see those inexperienced civilians in Yang Jun's army, under Yang Jun's more and more hasty orders, and as the front of the army was getting closer and closer, some people finally began to collapse. With their remaining rationality and mobility, these peasants either started howling and fleeing, or stood still and wept, or clung to other people beside them tightly, just like catching the last drowning a piece of wood!

The completely collapsed civilians collided with Yang Jun's formation, like an explosion from the inside out in the formation. The chaos caused by the change of formation before the battle finally became uncontrollable and spread to the entire army, even though Yang Jun's personal guards pulled Struggle your neck and try to control it, but it's like a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't have much effect.

  One general is incompetent, affecting the entire army!

   Even if there are more people than Fiji, so what?

In the battle formation, when the orderly veterans faced off against the disorderly recruits, most of them could fight one against three, one against five, and even one against ten. The cavalry who are coming to conquer Xifei!

When Zhao Yun and Gan Feng commanded the cavalry, it was like two sharp swords slashing viciously at Yang Jun's infantry battle formation, which was as soft as dough, and the hopeless collapse of Yang Jun's battle formation was inevitable. What happened, more and more people gave up confrontation, only thinking about running for their lives, only thinking about running faster and farther than others!

It is no longer appropriate to use force like a broken bamboo, because when Zhao Yun and Gan Feng cut into Yang Jun's **** array, they did not receive much resistance at all, and they easily plowed a deep blood ditch, and in a blink of an eye they will be killed. Yang Jun's array was completely divided into three parts!

   "Forward! Assault!"

Taking advantage of his illness, it was natural to kill him. Seeing that he finally had a chance to perform as the six scumbags, Fei Qian lost no time in directing the cavalry in his hands, and covered Yang Jun's chaotic infantry formation with coffin boards. Put in a few more nails...

   Cry, scream, and die!
