Chapter 81 The Melody of Death (Part 2)

Li Guang's words were exactly what Cheng Buzhi and the others were asking. They knew that Zhou Yang had many plans, and what he said would inevitably have had strange plans. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yang, with a flash of light in their eyes, and they were extremely expectant.

"How could there be any plan..." Zhou Yang's words surprised Li Guang and the others. As soon as he said, he interrupted Li Guang who was quick to speak.

"What should I do?" Li Guang rolled his eyes in surprise.

"Look, Mo Dao's brothers are too tired, and the cavalry brothers are too idle." Zhou Yang pointed at the cavalry with the whip in his hand.

Cavalry has a great role. When defending, they are responsible for covering the two wings. When attacking, they must seize the enemy's back path and disrupt the enemy's formation. When chasing, they must rush forward and cause the enemy's greatest casualties.

Until now, the Han army has achieved quite good results. The Fujian and Yue army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Overall, the Han army is defending and has not yet attacked. The cavalry is still watching the crossbow formation and Modao show their power on both wings of the military formation. There is nothing to do at all and it is too leisurely.

"Master General, are you going to attack the cavalry?" Cheng Buzhi understood and disagreed: "Cabinet attack can certainly make the Minyue army unable to fight back. However, Mo Dao's brothers were too tired and could not cooperate with him, and the results of the battle would not be too great. It would be better to withdraw from the battalion to rest, and wait until they recovered and it would not be too late to fight again."

Cheng Bushi is worthy of being a famous general, and what he said is the safest way at present. Gongsun He and the others nodded slightly and expressed their deep agreement.

"That would be safe, but Zou Ying would run away!" Zhou Yang's words were very confident.

"Why?" Gongsun He was filled with mist when he heard it.

Zou Ying ordered the Minyue army to attack with a desperate attack, which was determined to defeat the Han army. If the Han army did not rest and did not let Mo Daoshi take a breath, his plan would be possible.

How could Zou Ying, who was determined to win, run away?

"The general is right." Zhu Maichen took the conversation and analyzed: "The reason why Zou Ying's attack was to drag down Mo Dao's brothers so that they could not exert their power. His heart was to be punished! However, if we retreated to the camp to rest, then all his previous efforts would be wasted. If he continued to fight, he would not be able to defeat us. Instead of paying a high price, it would be better to evacuate the battlefield and preserve the vitality."

After saying Zou Ying's intention, Li Guang and the others suddenly realized.

This principle is very clear, but it involves politics and strategy, which is not the main force of Li Guang and others, so they did not expect it. Of course, they are famous generals, and as long as they have a short time of vacation, they will understand it.

"There is only a fight!" Li Guang and the others said firmly: "Master, please give the order!"

If Zou Ying withdraws from the battlefield, it is a dignified formation. Even if the Han army chases after him, the results will not be too great. It is better to take this opportunity to defeat the Minyue army and then pursue it again. If you do this, the Han army will be very tired, especially Mo Daozhe. However, it doesn’t matter if you are tired. You just need to grit your teeth and survive, which is better than greater casualties.

"Prepare to attack!" Zhou Yang's face turned solemn, and he suddenly pulled out the ring-headed knife and held it tightly in his hand.

"Knock! Knock!"

The crisp metal rubbing sounds continued. Li Guang and the others pulled out the ring-headed knife, held it tightly in their hands, waiting for Zhou Yang's order.

"Attack!" Zhou Yang put on the iron puff, waved the ring-headed knife in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Dongdong!"

The sound of thunderous war drums sounded, shaking the ground trembled. This was the order of attack.

"The Han army is mighty!"

The battle roar sounded, and 30,000 Han troops pressed against the Fujian and Yue troops.

The cavalry rushed from the left and right wings facing the back of the Minyue Army. The cavalry was wrapped in armor, like two torrents of steel, rolling towards the back of the Minyue Army.

This is to cut off the retreat of the Fujian and Yue army, fight back from behind, cooperate with the Modao and crossbow formations, and attack them from front to back.

If an army is attacked by front and back, it is difficult to resist and the possibility of defeat is very high.

The reason why Zhou Yang chose to let the cavalry attack the back rather than the two wings was that the chariots of the Minyue army were deployed on the two wings. If the cavalry rushed forward, with the combat power of the Han Dynasty cavalry, although they could break the formation of the chariots, they would cause considerable casualties. Rather than this, it would be more cost-effective to attack the back without the defense of the chariots.

Looking at the Han cavalry who rushed towards the back of the formation like a tide, Zou Ying was not panicked. Instead, the corners of his mouth broke and he was a little disdainful. He spread his flag in his hand and changed his back. The infantry held a long halberd in his hand and faced the cavalry who rushed towards him.

He actually imitated the Han army and set up a halberd formation.

Last year, during the Han and Xiongnu war, their tactics and tactics had long been spread all over the world, and many people were studying it. Zou Ying was one of them. The most inspiring Zou Ying was the halberd formation. This was a powerful weapon to deal with cavalry and was very convenient. It was not as heavy as a chariot and slow to move. Therefore, he also practiced a halberd formation.

His halberd formation is not large, with only more than 20,000 people, which is enough to cover the back formation.

The halberd formation was tested during the Han and Xiongnu War last year. Needless to say, its power was, even if the Han cavalry wanted to break through, it would have to pay a high price.

Zou Ying was full of confidence in this.

As long as the Han Dynasty cavalry is held down, the Mo Dao Hand can be dragged down. Once the Mo Dao Hand cannot exert its power and the Han Ji cavalry is held back, the Minyue will definitely win.

The reason why he dared to fight against the sea of ​​people was that he chose to drag down Mo Daozhe's death tactics because he had this halberd formation that could deal with the cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of a wonderful future, Zou Ying's eyes were filled with wonderful stars!

Just as he was happy, the situation of the rear formation changed, far beyond his expectations. It was not that he had dragged the Han Dynasty cavalry as he imagined, but that he had attacked the Han Dynasty cavalry in one fell swoop.

The same halberd formation, why can the Huns be helpless in the hands of the Han army, but it is vulnerable to Zou Ying?

The reason is that the attacking party's equipment is different, and it can be said that it is far different.

The Huns were equipped with all kinds of bows, leather armor, and scimitars. There were no other weapons besides this. The Han Dynasty cavalry had much more equipment than the Huns and was more powerful. They had crossbows, bows, arrows, spears, and ring-headed swords. Their armor was extremely protective, far from the ones that the Huns could compare with.

The cavalry used hand crossbows to shoot at the halberd formation from a distance. The Huns had no hand crossbows, so they could only rely on bows and arrows. It was difficult to break the shield formation of the halberd formation. The Minyue army also had shields, which were rattan cards. The reason was that the technology of Minyue was underdeveloped, which was far inferior to the Han Dynasty. The steel was far from enough, and it was impossible to install metal shields on the army. They could only use local materials and use rattan cards.

There are many mountain jungles in Minyue, and there are many old vines, so local materials can save a lot of trouble. If the rattan card is well made, the protection is also good. However, the technology of Minyue is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty, and the quality of its rattan card is really not satisfactory.

Compared with metal shields, rattan cards are far less powerful. They are good at defending against ordinary bows and arrows. It is impossible to defend against crossbows and arrows.

The cavalry of the Han Dynasty shot and killed with crossbows from a distance, and the soldiers of the Minyue Dynasty set up rattan cards to defend. The result is conceivable. Defense is like being in a waste of time, and countless casualties were killed or injured.

Round after round of crossbow shooting, many casualties of halberd hands were killed and injured, creating considerable chaos. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry shot with bows and arrows, and the casualties of the Fujian and Yue troops continued to increase.

The bow used by the cavalry is a big yellow bow, a hard bow, with extremely strong strength and can't be defended at all. Not to mention, there are many Jianzhang troops in this cavalry. They have excellent archery skills. They will not shoot the eye sockets when shooting people's noses, and they will not be able to make a big mess in the halberd formation.

Just when the halberd formation was in chaos, the Han cavalry rushed towards them and rushed towards them with spears. The spears were like poisonous snakes, stabbing and stabbing the halberd formation.

The purpose of Zhou Yang equipting the cavalry with spears was to create chaos and create greater advantages for the subsequent melee combat. The Han cavalry fully utilized this advantage. After stabbing, the halberd formation became even more chaotic. The Han cavalry drew out the ring-headed sword and took advantage of the situation to cut and kill. The ring-headed sword was slashed and raised, and the Fujian and Yue troops could not resist it and retreated one after another.

If the halberd formation wants to exert its power, it must be crowded, neat, and a dignified formation. After being attacked by crossbows and bows, the halberd formation is already in chaos. How could they block the slashing and slaughtering of the Han Dynasty cavalry?

The halberd formation, used by Zhou Yang to deal with the Xiongnu, was extremely useful. However, Zou Ying used by him to deal with the Han army, but it was a crushing defeat. The same halberd formation had different results in the hands of different armies.

In the final analysis, it is technology, which is caused by the equipment gap.

Once the halberd formation cannot stop the Han Dynasty cavalry, it will be a massacre. The protection of the Han Dynasty cavalry is first-class and is far beyond the ability of the Fujian and Yue troops to break through. They can only threaten the war horses, but they cannot threaten the Han army.

Attacking the Han Dynasty cavalry under their crotch was a good choice. However, when the halberd formation was chaotic, the soldiers of Minyue were panicked and could only escape. How could they think of this? Even if they thought of it, they would not dare to fight.

After fighting for a long time, the Han army was playing with the crossbow formation and the Modao hand. The cavalry had only cover, but nothing was wrong. The cavalry had already been full of breath, and their hands were itchy. They were waiting for this opportunity. The cavalry were like tigers going down the mountain, all of whom swung the ring-headed sword and slashed and killed desperately.

The scene is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and there is no general in his hand. Whether the ring-headed sword is slashed or raised, a Fujian Yue soldier must fall to the ground with a knife, either dead or injured.

A halberd formation composed of tens of thousands of people did not work, and it was easily broken by the Han cavalry. This matter was beyond Zou Ying's expectations. He opened his mouth and froze on the horse's back, and he didn't believe it at all.

This is a halberd formation. The Han army used it to deal with the Huns, which made the Huns lose their temper. He used the Han army's methods and helped them to serve the Han army. How could this result be?

The war is about equipment, which comes from advanced civilizations and developed technology. Minyue has no civilization, but it accepts Chinese civilization. Although they are learning from the Han people everywhere, they have not learned everything from home, far from reaching the height of the Han Dynasty, let alone making high-quality equipment.

If the equipment is inferior to that of the war, the tactics are inferior to that of the halberd formation, even if Zou Ying imitates the Han army, he will also attack the Han army if he builds a sword formation.

"Hurry, stop them!" After a brief shock, Zou Ying woke up immediately, slapped his horse, rushed into the army, and commanded the Fujian and Yue troops to intercept the cavalry.

Driven by him, the Fujian and Yue army had to swing the Han sword and rush towards the Han cavalry. The result of rushing forward was destined, that is, there was death but no life.

Cavalry has a natural advantage in fighting infantry, not to mention that this cavalry is the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Many of them participated in the war against the Huns last year, and their combat power was even more amazing.

The Fujian-Yue army is full of infantry. If you rush forward, wouldn’t that be killed?

The number of Minyue troops rushing up and killing can't be stopped at all.

The Han Dynasty cavalry were like a bloodthirsty beast, ruthlessly devouring the lives of the Minyue soldiers. Wherever they passed, there must be blood flowing all over the ground, and countless casualties were killed and injured. The corpses on the ground were stacked layer by layer. The blood did not have time to soak in the soil and gathered into a blood lake. Beautiful blood flowers would bloom where the horse's hooves stepped on.

The Han Dynasty cavalry shone brightly in the Han-Hungary War last year. Although they were not large in number, only about 10,000 people. The few major things they had done were even more popular, galloping across the desert, burning grasslands, and attacking the Xiongnu camps. The harvest was far beyond the appearance of people.

Zou Ying worked hard to understand these things and knew very well about the Han cavalry. According to him, the Han cavalry today would not be different from last year, but he had the confidence to deal with the four equipments of hand crossbow, bow and arrow, spear and Han sword.

I never thought that after less than a year, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty had changed a lot. The Han swords were gone, and some were ring-headed swords. The ring-headed swords were easy to chop and kill, extremely heavy and powerful.

The cavalry's armor is no longer the same as the previous armor, and its protection ability is very good. The Minyue has no way to break through this armor, because like the Huns, Minyue cannot penetrate this armor without a strong crossbow.

The biggest change is that the cavalry no longer fought alone like last year. Last year, the Han Dynasty cavalry went deep into the desert and could only harass and could not confront the Huns head-on. There were also times when they faced head-on, and they even defeated the Huns, which was completed in the situation of having an advantage in the battle. Overall, the Han Dynasty cavalry did not have the strength to fight against the Huns.

The reason for this situation is that the Han Dynasty had too few cavalry, one-fifty of that of the Huns. Another reason is that the Han army did not cooperate with the cavalry. On the battlefield, we cannot win by just one military branch. Only the Huns rely on cavalry to charge, and the Han army cannot do it.

Today's Han army has a Modao Formation, which is a brand new army with infinite power. Although this is a brand new army, it is still an infantryman.

In addition, the existing crossbow formation, cavalry, modao, and powerful crossbow, which cooperates with the three powerful tools, will have infinite power.

With the powerful Modao cooperated with it, the Han Dynasty cavalry became even more powerful.

Looking at the Han cavalry rushing towards him like a tide, Zou Ying knew that he had no chance. His judgment was very correct. At this moment, the Han army's Mo Dao hand was already rushing towards him with the Mo Dao.

Although Mo Dao's hands were very tired and sweating profusely, victory would inspire their confidence. They were very motivated and rushed to the wind with Mo Dao as fast as the wind. It was not like he was half tired after a long time of fighting.

During the Great Wall War, the fatigue of the Han army was far ahead. At that time, the Han army did not get off the horse for ten days and half a month, and it was so hard to rush and pursue for a long time. But now, it has only been a long time since the battle, which is far worse than the Great Wall War. Even though it is tired, Mo Daozhe can still hold on.

The rows of Mo Dao's hands were charging forward with Mo Dao. It felt like they were not holding Mo Dao, but they brought a wall of swords to ruthlessly crush the Fujian and Yue army.

In front of Mo Dao, the flesh and blood body could not have hope of survival. The Fujian and Yue army could not resist it, but they could only retreat one after another. If they retreated a little slowly, they would turn into minced meat.

Wherever the cavalry passed, there were corpses on the ground. Wherever Modao passed, there were minced meat on the ground. The scene was ten times more terrifying than the cavalry. The soldiers of Fujian and Yue would rather face the Han Dynasty cavalry than fight against Modao. Even the corpses were not complete. It was so terrifying!

Even if the Minyue soldiers wanted to retreat, they could not escape because the crossbow formation was shooting at them ruthlessly.

Modao, cavalry, and powerful crossbow are the three powerful weapons of the Han army, and they must exert their power. Whether it is attack or defense, they must exert their power.

When defending, the crossbow formation shot and killed many Minyue soldiers, and the same was true when attacking. The crossbowmen carried the crossbow formation forward, shooting and killing. Although the density of crossbow arrows did not decrease at all, they were still so dense.

"The Han army is mighty!" The battle horn sounded, and the modao, cavalry, and powerful crossbows were used to slaughter the soldiers of Minyue.

Looking at the Han army that was in a state of no one, Zou Ying knew that he was wrong, and it was outrageous. Although he had an army of 150,000, five times that of the Han army, he was still no match for the Han army.
To be continued...
