The Qingzhou Army is in formation.
Liu Yu had already heard the high-pitched war drums erupting from the Hulu infantry, as well as the crazy shouts of many soldiers. He knew that this was when the Hulu were about to launch a quick attack, trying to use crazy fighting to cover up the damage caused by the artillery bombardment just now. of fear.
Seeing all this, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry. Could it be that these "Hu Xiejun" had lost their morale? After being bombarded by artillery, they could still launch a charge?
"Drums rise! Get ready to kill the enemy!"
Following Liu Yu's order, more than a dozen war drums and numerous horns in the Qingzhou Army also sounded louder.
The powerful sound of drums and trumpets was like a blazing flame, igniting the fighting spirit of all the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.
"Mountain!"
"Mountain!"
Waves of continuous slogans rang out on the Qingzhou Army's position. This was the call sign of the Qingzhou Army's defensive formation.
"Invasion is like fire, motionless is like a mountain."
Ran Liang, the young man who had been following Liu Yu, suddenly murmured.
Liu Yu did not expect that Ran Liang would know this sentence in "The Art of War" at such a young age. If it was normal, Liu Yu would have a good conversation with him, but now is not the time.
However, just when the Qingzhou Army was ready to welcome the charge of the Hulu Infantry in the blink of an eye, the Hulu Infantry on the opposite side did not launch a full-scale charge as Shi Le had hoped.
Although there were cruel military orders and drums and Hu people supervising the battle team, many Hulu infantry had just witnessed the bloody and terrifying sight of artillery penetrating the queue. They all regarded the Qingzhou Army in front of them as if they were gods and ghosts. They had just moved forward. After running a short distance, they began to refuse to continue charging forward. Instead, they ran to both sides, trying to avoid the front of the Qingzhou Army.
The originally scattered Hulu infantry, hindered by the impact of these chaotic fleeing infantry, fell into chaos before running very far. These auxiliary troops, whose morale was already low, immediately stopped and continued to advance. offensive.
If it weren't for the Hulu cavalry on both sides and the rear, these Hulu infantry that had begun to fall into chaos would have dispersed in a hurry.
"You damn Jin slaves, don't stop, keep charging!"
"Don't stop, keep going forward!"
The Hu supervisor team following closely behind these infantry troops saw that many of the infantry troops began to stop charging and tried to escape. They all raised their knives and guns high and shouted loudly to intimidate those who did not respond. The infantry who dare to continue to advance.
After shouting a few times, these Hulu supervisors found that almost no one listened. These Hulu soldiers all held swords and rushed into the stagnant infantry column. Kill the infantry soldiers who are running back and forth in the ranks trying to escape.
The decisive attack that Shi Le originally hoped for turned into an unknown chaos just from the beginning.
At this time, Qingzhou Army.
Liu Yu had already noticed the chaos in the Hulu infantry on the opposite side. Except for a very small number of infantry rushing in front, most of the Hulu infantry fell into a stagnant state.
Although Liu Yu couldn't see the Hu soldiers supervising the troops behind the Hu Lu infantry to kill the infantry, it was obvious that the charge of these "Hu Xiejun" had been completely bankrupt. If the troops were confused among themselves on the battlefield, they would often be There are disastrous consequences.
Suddenly, a young man's voice came.
"General, the bandit army is already in chaos, attack quickly!"
This anxious tone was exactly what Ran Liang said.
Liu Yu looked at Ran Liang and saw a bloodthirsty excitement on his face. Such a crazy look on a young man's face really surprised Liu Yu.
He knew that Ran Liang's words were very reasonable, but Liu Yu only had 500 cavalry under his command, and the rest were infantry. The Hulu infantry was basically fifty or sixty steps away from him. Although this distance was not very far, the Qingzhou infantry If the army advances rapidly, it will definitely cause chaos in the formation, and it is very likely that thousands of Hulu cavalry will find a loophole.
Unexpectedly, just as Liu Yu was thinking about it, he saw a red figure flash out from beside him.
Ran Liang, who was only twelve years old, held a golden-tacked horse spear and rode his bay-red horse, shouting loudly and charging out of the gap in the Qingzhou infantry array.
In front of him were some rebel soldiers who ran too fast during the charge and separated from the Hulu infantry behind them. These people had just discovered the chaos behind them and were in a state of bewilderment.
Ran Liang rode a galloping war horse with his horse's legs straightened, like a tiger rushing into a herd of deer. In the blink of an eye, he killed these scattered Hulu infantry to pieces.
Under the eyes of thousands of Qingzhou infantry troops, twelve-year-old Ran Liang was like the god of war coming to the world, galloping in front of the formations of the two armies, killing those Hulu infantry troops who broke away from the formation.
All the Qingzhou infantrymen were shocked by the crazy scene in front of them and shouted excitedly. The cheers and shouts resounded throughout the entire array. At this moment, everyone saw the joy of killing from a young man.
The blood of a beast is boiling!
"This boy is so brave and strong!"
Liu Yu, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also shocked by Ran Liang's crazy bravery.
"General, the morale of the army is available, and I am willing to serve as a vanguard to defeat thieves!"
"Sir, the morale is like a rainbow, and the thieves are broken now!"
"General, don't wait any longer, attack!"
In an instant, Li Feng, Zhao Kun, Liu Xun, Wu Xin and other trusted generals around him all asked for battle one by one.
At this time, seeing his son Ran Liang fighting the enemy alone in front of the battle, Ran Long had already led three begging troops to rush out.
The soldiers in the entire Qingzhou Army array were still shouting loudly.
Liu Yu knew that this was the so-called military morale was available and the opportunity was not to be missed.
"Come here, give the order quickly, turn the two wings into a diagonal formation, attack!"
"Drumming!"
As the rapid attack drum sounded, the entire Qingzhou Army array began to change into an offensive formation.
Soon, after long bursts of conch horn sounds, Qingzhou, which had completed its transformation, began to stride forward.
Rows of sharp spearheads shone with cold light, jumping up and down slightly as they advanced, approaching the direction of the Hulu infantry like the teeth of evil wolves.
The hard ground also made a dull sound as the Qingzhou Army infantry advanced, making everyone's hearts excited.
Liu Yu saw that the Qingzhou Army operating the several artillery pieces had not yet completed the final loading. Even if it was completed, it would be difficult for these heavy artillery vehicles to catch up with the advancing infantry.
"General, the cavalry is on standby."
Wu Xin ran to Liu Yu with a serious face and said.
"Cannonballs are cowards, swordsmen are heroes! Today, let all swordsmen drink blood!"
After that, Liu Yu took out his horse and led five hundred Qingzhou cavalry to follow closely behind the infantry, ready to meet the Hulu cavalry's attack on the flank at any time.
