Liu Yu, who was located at the rear of the central formation of the Han army in Qingzhou, could hardly believe it when he saw that the Hu and Han infantry on the opposite side were in a rout as soon as they made contact.
If this is the case, then victory will be too easy.
If the Hu and Han army in a hurry to meet the enemy is penetrated by the Qingzhou Han army in the middle, it will be divided into two parts, and a complete defeat will be imminent.
"Woo~"
Suddenly, a low horn sound sounded from behind the Hu Han infantry array.
I saw that the Hu and Han infantry array, which was originally a little shaken, immediately stopped retreating after the sound of trumpets, and instead counterattacked against the Qingzhou Han army's offensive.
"Your Majesty, this is the Hulu's order to attack."
Cui Yu, who was following Liu Yu, heard the sound and said.
After Liu Yu took the lead in crossing the river on the ice, Cui Yudao looked like a hero in Jizhou. He quickly handed over Cui's tribe to the command of a disciple of the clan who knew soldiers, while he only followed Liu Yu.
"This is normal."
After Liu Yu heard this, he felt a little calmer.
At this time, on the battlefield, soldiers from both sides were fighting together.
The weapons clashing back and forth, the flags waving back and forth, and the loud and loud shouts of killing all made the entire battlefield feel crazy.
At this time, compared with the anxious battle, Liu Yu was more wary of the enemy's unpredictable actions.
Any phenomenon that goes against common sense on the battlefield often hides some conspiracy.
As soon as Cui Yu finished speaking, the array of Hu and Han infantry, as if being pushed by an invisible big hand from behind, took a big step forward in the direction of the Qingzhou Han army infantry.
This step forward immediately triggered a more bloody confrontation.
"boom!"
"Poof!"
There were bursts of harsh metal collisions and friction sounds. The weapons of the infantrymen on both sides blocked the obstacles and penetrated into the armor of the other side's front row soldiers, making a tooth-wrenching screeching sound.
"ah!!"
"kill!!"
The fierce battle has just begun!
The blood sprayed by the soldiers in the front row made the soldiers fighting on both sides forget the tension and fear they had just fought.
Under the stimulation of blood, at this moment, the coward also became a warrior.
"These infantry are indeed of great use!"
The rear of Hu Hanzhong's army.
Zuo Sima Chengya was guarding Shi Le, watching the fierce battle array in front.
Seeing that after the Hu and Han infantry had overcome the initial panic, they actually burst out with strength to face the enemy, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Organizing an army according to law can make the timid fearless."
Shi Le sighed, but his eyes were staring ahead without blinking.
"If we win this battle, give me a year and I can form an infantry force of 100,000 in Jizhou."
"The infantry of the Jin people will be the backbone, and the Hu flying cavalry will be the wings. Then no one in the world can stop me!"
When Shi Le said this, his heart suddenly surged with overwhelming pride.
"General, don't worry. This Qingzhou bandit army has almost no cavalry. As long as the general can repel its infantry array, pursuing them northward will be like killing chickens and dogs!" Cheng Xia said loudly.
Hearing what Cheng Xia said, Shi Le looked at a unit behind the Hu Han infantry array with hopeful eyes.
I saw this Hu Lu army. Everyone was holding the reins in their hands, but they did not mount their horses. Instead, they led the armored horses, quietly hiding not far behind the Hu Han infantry array.
In front of them, the flying Hu and Han infantry flags covered these dismounted infantry.
"The success or failure of this battle depends on these cavalry!"
Shi Le's face was full of solemn expression.
Suddenly, Zhang Bin, the right lord next to him, spoke up.
"General, look!"
When Shi Le heard this, he immediately turned to look.
I saw where the two sides were fighting in front, two groups of infantrymen, both holding banners with the Chinese character "Han", were fighting desperately.
However, at this time, the Hu and Han infantry array was once again pushed forward by the Qingzhou infantry.
Under the dense rain of guns and arrows, more Hu and Han infantry fell to the sharp edges of the Qingzhou Han army.
The Hu and Han infantry array fell into decline again.
"waste!"
When Shi Le saw this, he immediately became furious.
The Hu and Han infantry, which had just received a little appreciation from him, unexpectedly rose and fell so quickly. In just an instant, they fell into a situation where they were about to retreat.
Shi Le stepped on the stirrups, leaned up high, and looked towards the right wing of Hu Han's array.
At this time, Hu Han's cavalry on the right wing was almost completing the planned movement and would soon launch a massive attack.
At this time, the central army of Hu and Han infantry could not retreat at all, otherwise, the involvement of these right-wing cavalry would turn into meaningless losses.
"Somebody come!"
Shi Le immediately shouted loudly, and then a Jiehu soldier on standby hurried forward to obey the order.
"Pass my order. No one in the Chinese army's infantry is allowed to retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed immediately!"
This Jiehu order soldier immediately held up the flag and sent orders to the front.
At this time, after five or six consecutive rounds of thrusts, the Qingzhou Han Army's infantry array had advanced a long distance.
"The Hulu infantry may have some superficial skills, but they are still far behind!"
Cui Yu stroked his beard and pointed happily forward.
In the previous battle, Cui Yu was really shocked by the counterattack by the Hu and Han infantry.
This kind of momentum of facing the enemy and not fearing life and death is simply the courage of a victorious army.
Fortunately, the momentum of the Han army in Qingzhou did not fall due to this. Instead, after a period of fighting, with more tenacity, the Hulu infantry was defeated again.
"The infantry are fighting in a majestic formation, and they are really exchanging lives for their lives!"
Different from Cui Yu's happiness, Ran Liang, a young guard beside Liu Yu, was shocked by the infantry fighting in front of him.
In the tight infantry array, there is not much room to dodge and maneuver, and there are not many opportunities to display dazzling skills. There is only a clash of swords, guns and arrows from both sides. Life or death, apart from the weapons in one's hands, depends on God's will. .
Ran Liang looked at the fierce battle between the infantry on both sides and suddenly realized that the riding and shooting skills he was so proud of were of no use at all in this kind of battle. The dense array of spears and spears would be the death zone for all cavalry.
Hearing Ran Liang's sigh, Liu Yu immediately spoke to him loudly.
"If you form an array to meet the enemy, whoever is less afraid of death will be able to avoid death!"
After saying this, Liu Yu looked at the place where the infantry were fighting in front, but frowned slightly.
Liu Yu suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed a bit abnormal.
Although both sides want to move forward in an infantry battle, a battle with cold weapons often cannot determine the outcome quickly and requires many back and forths.
The infantry arrays of both sides are also divided into several small arrays at the front and rear. If the front row encounters setbacks in the battle, the rear formation with sufficient strength will take over the enemy.
It is almost impossible to have a situation where all the soldiers in the front row die and then the soldiers in the back row are replaced.
From time to time, the infantry lines of both sides were pulled back and forth, which was the most common situation.
However, Liu Yu discovered that at this time, the Hu and Han infantry were clearly at a disadvantage in the front row, but they did not retreat at all.
"The military soldiers are still far behind!"
Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh. After several battles, many formations of the Qingzhou Han army infantry had lost their strict formations. Many soldiers fought with their own groups, and the semi-professional soldiers lacked large formations. The shortcomings of performing martial arts were slowly exposed.
"Facing a tough array of Huru infantry, we lost our formation during the attack. We really need more rigorous training."
Liu Yu was thinking in his mind while watching every move on the battlefield, trying to understand the reason why the Hulu infantry refused to retreat.
At this time, Liu Yu saw from a distance that behind the Hulu infantry array, many tall spears suddenly stood up, with many heads stuck on the spires.
"Your Majesty, Hu Lu has killed one of his own!"
Wu Xin, who had sharp eyes, immediately noticed these heads.
"Something's wrong!"
Liu Yu frowned, he had already smelled a slight hint of danger.
Even if there is a gap in infantry combat power between the Qingzhou Han Army and the Hu Han Army, the winner will not be determined quickly. There is no need for the Hu Lu to "fight to the death". A slight retreat and rotation is the common sense in cold weapon infantry battles. .
Otherwise, the meaningless "fight to the death" will cause the front row soldiers to be completely killed and injured, making it difficult to bear the horrific casualty rate, while the rear row soldiers will be in the position of "spectators" from beginning to end.
After the soldiers in the front row are defeated due to casualties and injuries, resulting in the rout of the entire army, more infantrymen in the rear will also have a final chain reaction due to panic and rout.
The final result may be that just a few casualties in the front row will cause a complete rout of an army.
"The Hulu are fighting to the death, and if the front army fights harder, they will soon defeat the Chinese army!"
Wu Xin said loudly and happily. Obviously, he also saw that the Hu and Han infantry were almost overdrawing their chances of winning.
"Your Majesty, when the Hulu army is defeated, please allow the general to lead a cavalry raid!"
Wu Xin said, pointing forward.
"When the last general saw that big flag, it should be the general's flag of Shile, the great Huru invader. When the time comes, he will definitely capture and kill this Hu chieftain for Your Majesty!"
After Liu Yu heard this, he looked at the flag of Hu and Han generals surrounded by many tooth flags, which should be where Jie Hu Shile was.
"It would be a little weird if the winner is determined so quickly!"
Liu Yu said that he would give orders to the infantry of the front army to gather up a little and then reorganize the queue to prevent unexpected situations from happening.
Suddenly, bursts of horn sounds resounded through Hu Han's array, and they sounded again.
This time the horn sounded louder than before!
"Your Majesty, Hulu's right wing!"
At this time, Ran Liang was already standing upright on the horse. He stretched out his arms, pointed in the distance and shouted to Liu Yu.
"Hulu's cavalry has all formed up, and they are about to charge into the formation!"
When Liu Yu heard this, he also stepped on the stirrups and looked into the distance.
I saw that on the outer left wing of the Han army in Qingzhou, the dark Hulu cavalry had formed many large and small cavalry arrays.
Just by looking at the posture, Liu Yu knew that the attack of these Hulu cavalry would not be the previous harassment with mounted fire, but would be a formation charge.
At this time, Liu Yu seemed to understand the reason why the Hulu infantry refused to retreat.
It turned out that the purpose was to give these Hulu cavalry opportunities to move into formation, contain the Chinese infantry of the Qingzhou Han Army, and then use the superior cavalry force to concentrate on attacking the left wing of the Qingzhou Han Army.
As long as the left wing of the Han army in Qingzhou is defeated, the defeated army can be driven out and the central army and right wing can be driven away, and then Liu Yu and tens of thousands of people can be driven into the Qinghe River.
If tens of thousands of people gathered on the Qinghe ice surface, it might cause a terrible ice break.
When he thought of this, Liu Yu felt a flash of contempt in his heart.
"Do these barbarians really think that "strong armor and strong military strength" are just decoration??"
Liu Yu had full confidence in the infantry on the left wing. Not to mention the previous Hulu cavalry and shooting harassment, even the Hulu formations that were now ready to charge were almost completely unafraid.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the left wing to help in the battle!"
Wu Xin once again asked for help impatiently.
He was very anxious in his heart. In the previous battle to expel the Hulu Rangers, although it was the first victory of the Qingzhou Han Army, there were too few real beheadings.
Even if meritorious service is evaluated after the war, it is not just based on the head, but the generals of the cavalry battalions will definitely not be willing to rely on merit points to obtain rewards.
Therefore, Wu Xin has always wanted to fight eagerly to give his men more opportunities to defeat the enemy.
At this time, from the distant left wing of the Qingzhou Han army, the sound of drums and trumpets for moving the array was heard.
Liu Yu knew that Xi Jian, Zhao Kun and others in charge of the left wing had already begun to defend against Hu Lu.
"Okay! You are allowed to lead the cavalry to the left wing and wait for orders. Do not attack rashly. Wait until the Hulu cavalry loses momentum and then attack its vital points in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yu thought for a moment and agreed to Wu Xin's request to fight.
"After killing the Huru cavalry, you must seize the opportunity and quickly turn towards the Hulu central army. I will drive all these Hulu troops onto the ice of Qinghe River!"
