Chapter 77: King Biliu goes to battle

Since Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Huns, the charge hand-to-hand combat tactics that the Han cavalry were good at showed its power. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the iron cavalry equipped with men and horses showed its power to crush ordinary troops.

Seeing that the Baekje people were scared and dared not continue to pursue, Liu Yu led the cavalry and turned around and continued to attack, and used bows and arrows to shoot and kill several Baekje cavalry.

The Baekje people's technology was just born from Fuyu's ancestors. Although they could crush the backward and ignorant Mahans by relying on their ability to smelter iron weapons and make crossbows, they were still far behind in the Central Plains army, which already had the most mature skills in the world.

The cavalry led by Liu Yu was in groups of three or two, and they were closely behind the Baekje cavalry that had begun to retreat, using bows and arrows to continue to kill. The weak cavalry of the Baekje people did not take any advantage in shooting.

Finally, the Baekje cavalry, who could have taken care of each other, could no longer bear the pressure of being beaten for nothing. After the cavalry officer who was the first to retreat began to gallop desperately, it turned into a scattered escape.

There is no way. In this era, the Western Jin Dynasty, which followed the military heritage of the Qin and Han Dynasties, was so simple to crush the surrounding barbarians. Otherwise, how could tens of thousands of people in the Lelang counties maintain semi-independent autonomy for nearly a hundred years after the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Seeing that the enemy had fled for the death, Liu Yu immediately took the lead in collecting his bow and spear, and launched a charge towards the Baekje cavalry.

Soon, relying on the advantage of the tall and strong horses, the Donglai cavalry was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the Baekje cavalry so hard that they were overturned and chased for several miles.

If most of the Baekje infantry in the future had not arrived and saved more than a dozen Baekje cavalry, then this Baekje cavalry would have been destroyed.

The panicked Baekje infantry began to shoot feather arrows from a distance with their stair bows, using this to drive away Liu Yu's cavalry.

Liu Yu was not afraid at all. At such a long distance, the lethality of the bow and arrow was very weak. As the saying goes, "At the end of a strong crossbow, the momentum cannot penetrate Lu's silk."

At this time, the entire Baekje army had basically been shown, hundreds of steps from south to north, and more than twenty deep in front and back.

Liu Yu, standing on a hill, saw all this. He observed that there were about 10,000 Baekje people opposite. A hundred steps away, he could clearly see the soldiers of the Baekje army.

After watching for a while, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh that this was really a group of Beggars' gang. Except for the armor worn by some Baekje officers and soldiers, the other ordinary soldiers were wearing various ragged clothes. Liu Yu even saw that some of the clothes worn by Fuyu people were obviously the clothes worn by women from Jin that were snatched from him.

"The Baekje people are easy to deal with, and I will get the flag today."

Liu Yu pointed at the enemy's central army with a spear, and there was a tallest and largest flag surrounded by a group of warriors. It was obvious that it should be the big flag of King Biliu of Baekje.

After saying that, Liu Yu led the cavalry back, because the infantry of the Donglai Army had arrived at this time.

Soon, the two infantry troops met less than two hundred steps away from each other.

Both sides stopped moving forward at the same time.

The Baekje Infantry Army has 10,000 people listed as ten square formations, with a total of 300 steps across from north to south. Each square formation has about twenty people in depth. From a distance, each square formation looks wide and thick.

The formation of the Donglai Army, which had only two thousand people, could only expand half the width of the enemy, and its depth was barely half that of the Baekje people. It looked thin, as if it would be pierced with a little force.

However, the Donglai Army's military appearance was cleaned up, and all the soldiers were wearing black and red robes, and the same shape of painted black armor was on the outside. After the stop command sounded, everyone was stationary. This transformation of movement and stillness was perfect.

All of this fell into the eyes of King Biru of Baekje and the adults of various tribes in the distance, and they all felt that the enemy's seemingly weak military formations were as unmoving as a mountain no matter how they looked.

Everyone looked back at the soldiers on their side. They were all dressed in colorful clothes as if they were about to dance a witch show. After comparing them, they felt ashamed of themselves.

"These Jin people are so strong, so it's probably difficult to deal with."

A general around Biliu King couldn't help but express his feelings.

"What are you afraid of? These Jin people are only 2,000 at most, and we have 10,000. Why can't we win by five times?"

King Biliu shouted to encourage the generals around him. In fact, he was also a little panicked. He really didn't expect that these Jin people could have such momentum.

Even if there is some illusory momentum and morale, the number of armored soldiers of the BJI army brought by the King of Biliu was already comparable to the number of armored soldiers brought by the King of Biliu.

"These damn Jin people, the warriors who destroyed our navy and killed us, dare to die now, and they will be buried here today!"

After agitating stronger than Liuwang, he assigned tasks for various military formations. After the lords of each army returned to their own formation, a heavy drum sound came from the position of the Baekje Central Army. Then, the Baekje army of tens of thousands of people began to slowly approach the Donglai Army on the opposite side.

The Baekje people took the lead in launching an attack. The Donglai Army was standing on a gentle slope at this time. King Biliu's plan was to use half of his troops to attack head-on and restrain the enemy, and then the other half of his troops surrounded from both wings and attacked around the back of the Donglai Army.

King Biliu thought that no matter how strong these enemies were, they could not fight five. And when they were attacked from both sides, he felt that as long as the central army he led could firmly control the enemy to the spot, the Baekje Army, which was responsible for encirclement, would soon launch a fatal blow from behind, and at that time, no matter how the enemy was a heavenly soldier and general, he would kneel down and die.
