Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, the Han cavalry's charge and hand-to-hand combat tactics have shown its power. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the iron cavalry with human and horse equipment showed its power to crush ordinary soldiers.
Seeing that the Baekje people were afraid and did not dare to continue the pursuit, Liu Yu led the cavalry to turn around and continue to attack, and killed several Baekje cavalry with bows and arrows.
The technology of the Baekje people was just born out of the ancestors of Fuyu. Although they could crush the backward and ignorant Mahan people with their ability to smelt iron weapons and make crossbows, they were still far behind in the face of the Central Plains army that already had the most mature skills in the world. of.
The cavalry led by Liu Yu were in groups of two and three, and they clung to the retreating Baekje cavalry, using bows and arrows to continue killing. However, the Baekje people's weak cavalry bows did not take any advantage in the exchange of fire.
Finally, the Baekje cavalry, who could still look after each other and cover each other, could no longer bear the pressure of being beaten in vain. After the cavalry officer who was the first to retreat began to gallop desperately, it turned into a rout.
There is no way. In this era, the Western Jin Dynasty, which followed the military legacy of the Qin and Han Dynasties, was so simple to crush when facing the surrounding barbarians. Otherwise, how could the tens of thousands of people in Daifang and Lelang counties still maintain their strength after the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed and their support was cut off? It has been semi-independent and autonomous for nearly a hundred years.
Seeing that the enemy was already running away, Liu Yu took the lead in drawing back his bow and charging at the Baekje cavalry.
Soon, taking advantage of the horses' height and strength, the Dongrai cavalry was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, killing the Baekje cavalry and chasing them for several miles.
If most of the Baekje infantry hadn't arrived behind and saved a dozen Baekje cavalry, then this group of Baekje cavalry would have destroyed the entire army.
The panicked Baekje infantry began to use their bows to shoot arrows from a long distance to drive away Liu Yu's cavalry.
Liu Yu was not afraid at all. At such a long distance, the lethality of bows and arrows was very weak. As the saying goes, "A powerful crossbow cannot penetrate Lu's silk".
At this time, the entire Baekje army has basically been displayed, hundreds of steps from south to north, and more than twenty depths in front and back.
Standing on a hill, Liu Yu had a panoramic view of all this. He made a visual inspection and found that there were about 10,000 Baekje people on the opposite side. From a distance of a hundred steps, he could clearly see the Baekje army. Soldier.
Liu Yu looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sigh, these are really a group of beggars. Except for some Baekje officers and soldiers wearing armors that are uniform in shape, the rest of the ordinary soldiers wear a variety of rags. Liu Yu even saw some Fuyu people wearing clothes that were obviously robbed Jin women's clothes.
"The Baekje people are easy to deal with. I will definitely get the flag today."
Liu Yu pointed at the enemy's central army in the distance. There was a tallest and largest general's flag surrounded by a group of warriors. It was obviously the flag of King Piliu of Baekje.
After saying that, Liu Yu led the cavalry back, because the infantry of Donglai Army had also arrived at this time.
Soon the two infantry armies met within two hundred paces of each other.
Both sides stopped moving forward in unison.
Ten thousand people of the Baekje infantry were arranged in ten square formations, with a total width of 300 paces from north to south. Each square formation was about twenty people deep. From a distance, each square formation looked generous.
However, the formation of the Dongnae Army, which only had 2,000 men, could only expand half as wide as the enemy, and its depth was barely half that of the Baekje Army. It looked like a thin layer, as if it would be pierced with just a little force.
However, the Donglai Army's military appearance was neat and tidy. All the soldiers were wearing black and red military robes with the same shape of black armor on the outside. After the stop order was sounded, everyone stood still. The transition between movement and stillness is perfect.
All this fell into the eyes of King Piliu of Baekje and the various ministers in the distance. They all felt that the enemy's seemingly weak military formation had a feeling of being as motionless as a mountain.
Everyone looked back at the soldiers on their side. They were all dressed in colorful clothes, as if they were performing a witchcraft show. Comparing them with themselves, they actually felt ashamed of themselves.
"These Jin people are so strong, I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with."
A general beside King Biliu couldn't help but express his feelings.
"What are you afraid of? These Jin people only have two thousand at most, and we have ten thousand. Why can't we win with five times the number?"
King Biliu encouraged the generals around him loudly. In fact, he was also a little panicked in his heart. He really didn't expect that these Jin people could be so powerful.
Not to mention the somewhat illusory momentum and morale, the two thousand soldiers, all equipped with armor, were already comparable to the 10,000 armored Baekje troops brought by King Piliu.
"These damn Jin people, who destroyed our navy and harmed our warriors, still dare to come and die. They will be buried here today!"
After King Biryu gave a vigorous instigation, he assigned the tasks of each military formation. After the adults of each military formation returned to their own formations, a deep drum sound came from the position of the Baekje Central Army, followed by tens of thousands of people. The Baekje army began to slowly approach the Dongnae Army on the opposite side.
The Baekje took the lead in launching an attack. The Dongnae Army was standing on a gentle slope at this time. King Biryu's plan was to use half of his troops to attack frontally to contain the enemy, and then use the other half of his troops to outflank the two flanks and go around to Dongnae. Attack from behind.
King Biliu thought that no matter how powerful these enemies were, it would be impossible for them to defeat five of them, and they were being attacked from both sides. He felt that as long as the Chinese army led by himself could attack steadily and pin down the enemies in place, then Soon after, the Baekje Army responsible for outflanking the enemy will be able to launch a fatal blow from behind. At that time, no matter whether the enemy is a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general, he will have to kneel down and die.
