Chapter 91 One Strike 3

Shi Yi, the general who was commanding this battle, reluctantly sent someone to win the victory, but at this moment, the right wing, which was rushed into the side back by the Chu cavalry, suddenly avalanches.

After the remaining 240 heavy cavalry of the Chu army rushed into the army formation, they quickly turned around and attacked the right wing back. Previously, in order to compete with the Chu army's spear, the Qi army was in front and short soldiers behind. Now the heavy cavalry like an iron tower rushed from behind, and the soldiers in the back row immediately scattered. Once the infantry in the formation abandoned the formation and fled, the light cavalry with the cavalry sword in their hands could cut them down like cutting wheat.

Chaos brought about killing, and the killing further caused chaos. The iron cavalry ran and the Qi soldiers shouted. The right wing of the Qi army, which had a length of 1,750 rows, completely collapsed. At this time, the rear army who wanted to step forward to make up for the gap in the right wing, led Tian Lin to break his heart. From the Chu light cavalry to open the gap in the formation, to the heavy cavalry breaking through the gap, to the Chu army cavalry rushed in through the gap, and attacked the side of the right wing formation... It was only a quarter of an hour, and the right wing of 70,000 people was instantly finished.

During the cavalry, the Qi soldiers rushed to Linzi one after another. However, the suspension bridge on the city protection was lifted as soon as the battle started, and the northwest gate was closed tightly. Qi soldiers who could not cross the city protection were constantly squeezed into the siege water. Fortunately, the water in early spring was shallow, and as long as people were not stepped on their feet, most Qi soldiers who fell into the water could wade through it.

"Our army is defeated! Our army is defeated..." Shi Yi was already crazy. He had never seen a cavalry breaking the formation, nor could he imagine that the array of forty rows in depth could be broken. When discussing the formation, he also joked that the military advisor Mou Zong was too timid. The depth of forty rows was too thick and too thick. However, under the contract tactics of the Chu army's soldiers, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry, the depth of forty rows was as thin as a piece of Chu paper.

Shi Yi kept saying, 'Our army was defeated'. Seeing that the central army was intact, the left wing was slightly restored to his rationality and shouted to the lord's hand: "Singing gold! Singing gold! Singing gold!!"

The collapse of the right wing does not mean that the entire army is defeated, but the premise is to retreat immediately and distance from the enemy. Of course, it is also necessary to distance from the defeated army. Only in this way can we re-arrange the formation, stabilize the position, and protect the remaining army. But Shi Yi forgot that the west wall of Linzi was behind the Qi army, and the Qi army had no way to retreat at all. He forgot, but the lord did not forget. Just as the lord was hesitant, Mou Zong also shouted anxiously: "No! Never scream gold!"

"Our army is defeated. When will we wait until we do not retreat? Sound the gold quickly!" The screams and wails of the Qi soldiers on the right wing kept coming, and Shi Yi was trembling. Previously, he thought that war was beautiful. Not to mention the 230,000 army, even 50,000 halberd-held men wearing huge armor could defeat the Chu army of 30,000 people. At this moment, he realized that the war was bloody and covered with bones.

"Sing the gold! If you don't, you will be killed!!" Shi Yi was scared by the war. He even wanted to jump out of the military car and hit the snail himself.

"No!" Mou Zhong pulled him back. "At this time, our army will be defeated."

"Report——!" Mou Zong's words did not convince Shi Yi. What really made Shi Yi stop was a military newspaper: "Report to the general, the display of the rear army has been completed, and our army is in peace."

"The rear army array?!" Shi Yi looked suspiciously at the right. The 40,000 rear army had already listed a long wall running east-west between the central army and the city defense. It not only blocked the defeated soldiers on the right wing outside the array, but also blocked the Chu cavalry outside the array. Because the Qi army's central army was moving forward and was about to fight with the Chu army, the long wall was also extending to the west.

"Our army has no worries." Mou Zongda breathed a sigh of relief. The rear army saved the crisis. Now it depends on whether the halberd army can defeat the central army of the Chu army. The cavalry of the Chu army is indeed sharp, but can the Chu army's infantry block the halberd army's charge?

The formation battle is actually like two eggs smashing each other with a hammer. The eggshell being smashed is not fatal. The real fatality is to throw the hammer away and flee without fighting. The hammer of the Chu army has already smashed the right wing, but as long as the central army can smash the Chu army's central army, the Qi army will win.

Running at a hundred steps is a practice of formation warfare. This is to avoid arrows and to scatter the enemy's array with impact. Under normal circumstances, when attacking, the soldiers in the front row of both sides hold a shield and then line up. The halberd holder poked, the stern holder smashed, and the spear holder stabbed. However, facing the Chu army's Yi spear, the Qi army's front could not hold the shield, and could only hold the spear.

The shocking shields collided with each other and became dense spears, and both sides were wearing giant armor. The only difference was that there was a layer of mail under the giant armor of the Chu army. The hardness of the spear tip of the spear was quenched and approached high-speed steel; the Qi army only had a set of ring armor, and the spearhead was also made of giant iron, but Qi craftsmen did not fully master the quenching and tempering technology, and the spearheads created were indeed harder than bronze, but far less than the Chu army's spear, and even the Yan iron sword was not as good as the Yan State.

The technical level caused different killing. Under the fierce impact, the Chu army's barbarian spears immediately pierced through the Qi army's giant armor. Although many of the chief spears in the Qi army's hands also pierced the Chu army's giant armor, the spearhead did not immediately penetrate the Chu army's body, but was pushed outside the body by something. Some Chu soldiers were reluctant to suffer the pain and shouted a name that the Qi people had never heard of before: A hundred soldiers.

This was just a matter of lightning, the sound of wooden slashes, the sound of giant armor, the shouts of soldiers..., which drowned out everything on the battlefield. The Qi soldiers heard nothing, and only when they fell down, they found that the Chu soldiers who were in the spear did not fall with them.

"Attack--!" As the most elite army of Qi, the fall of the front row not only did not scare them, but also excited them. They rushed over on the corpse of their comrades, and the iron halberd in their hands was thrust violently, but the iron halberd was too short, so they were stabbed by the barbarian spear before that.

The front rows fell down and the back rows rushed forward. Although the Yi spear could pierce the giant armor, it always took a strong rest. When the Qi soldiers in the fifth and sixth rows stepped forward, the Chu soldiers' Yi spear could only make a scratching sound when they stabbed the Qi soldiers in the giant armor, and could not knock down the Qi people. At this time, they could only use the Yi spear to hold back the Qi people in the front and rely on the Chu soldiers in the second row to assassinate them.

‘Dang, dang, dang, dang…’ The sound of the Chu army withdrawing troops sounded at this moment. The Chu soldiers who heard the sound retreated without panic. The Qi soldiers who were overjoyed followed closely, as if they didn’t know that the Chu army was changing formations, and the prominent convex shape was shrinking back into a concave shape.

"Military advisor!" After the golden sound was also transmitted to the Qi army formation, Shi Yi, who had just climbed up from the ice cave, is now in the blazing iron smelting furnace, full of victory. He no longer has the confidence to command this battle, and can only rely on Mou Zong.

"The order for the rear army to protect the flanks of the central army must not be wrong." Mou Zong had no good idea, but fortunately, the number of rear army soldiers was sufficient, which was more than enough to fill the gap between the central army and the city defense.

"Report to the King, the Qi army is advancing, but..." The Chu army was traveling four hundred steps away from Mou Zong, and the Chu army's watchman at a high place kept reporting the movements of the Qi army to Xiong Jing. Based on this information, the strategist changed the situation of the two armies on the raising market bit by bit.

At this moment, the right triangle Qi army was cut off from the corner at the north end, and Youque also used it. They filled about a thousand gaps between the central army and the city guard, and the military formation turned into a right-angle trapezoid. As the central army moved forward, the military formation formed by the rear army at the north end also slowly moved forward with the central army, protecting its flanks.

The Chu army concaves inward at most dozens of steps, and this distance is not enough to thin the Qi rear army array. If the rear army array cannot be thinned, it will be difficult for the cavalry to defeat the rear army like they would break through the right wing. The array composed of 40,000 people is also in depth forty people. However, these soldiers are obviously different from the previous new soldiers. They make up the formation very quickly and have neat lines. The most important thing is that they have a more determined fighting spirit.

The right wing of the Qi army collapsed and was about to be defeated, but who would have thought that it would come back to life and stabilize the front with the reserve team. Xiong Jing did not blame the cavalry for not turning right and inserting into the Qi army's central army. There was a reason for the heavy cavalry turning left: when the formation was broken, the reserve team of Qi army had already unfolded the array, and the heavy cavalry turned right and would only hit the complete array of the rear army. The heavy cavalry was not omnipotent, without artillery and the light cavalry's firepower preparation, it was not easy for them to break the formation.

"Sort the cavalry to attack the Qi army." Xiong Jing ordered. He did not believe that the Qi army had a reserve force.

"King, although the right army of Qi army was defeated,..." Zhuang Wudi reminded. Although the right army of Qi army was defeated, these people had no choice but to escape. Only a part of them bypassed the northwest corner of the city and rushed to the north of Linzi City.

"Let the left army separate and monitor and suppress it." Xiong Jing said. "The soldiers of Qi are already afraid and have no desire to fight anymore."

The entire Left Army had only more than 4,000 people, but when faced with the already scared Qi soldiers, as long as they were not forced to jump over the wall, they could no longer pose any threat to the Chu army.

"...I will protect the flanks of our central army and attack the central army of Qi on the side, which can also help the cavalry to defeat the rear army of Qi. This is all done by Yang Wei." Xiong Jing finally added. At this moment, the left hand of the Chu army was empty, and the Qi army was in a passive state.

"Yes!" The order was issued, and the command troops repeated the order and quickly rushed to the left army and cavalry sent orders.

The order was conveyed very quickly, but it was not easy to adjust the situation on the left wing of the Chu army. The cavalry kept passing by the Qi soldiers, and the sharp cavalry kept reaping their lives. The sound of gold did not make the cavalry retreat. It was only when Gui Jing ordered his subordinates to blow the horn, and the knights who were really excited to kill came back to their senses.

"Have our army been defeated?" On the east side of Linzi City, on the east bank of Zishui, Tian Gu suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet, and his whole body was cold. Before the Anpingyi soldiers went to the battlefield, the Qi army was defeated.

"Are our army defeated?" Tian Gu asked the Qi soldiers on the other side of the shore through dozens of meters of black water. The Qi soldiers only wanted to go home in the city. When they were frightened, they hurried away as soon as they saw Tian Gu in the chariot.

‘Wow…’ Tian Gu, who was anxious, actually jumped off the black water. The soldiers of Qi were even more afraid when they saw this and ran away faster.

"Save the Lord quickly! Save the Lord quickly!" The left and right panic immediately, and some people who were experiencing water quickly jumped off the black water to pick up Tian Gu.
