It was not until the enemy attacked the door that King Yan was informed that even the Hu people with no military discipline would not be so negligent. Obviously, Yan Jun's entire system has encountered huge problems.
It can be said that the soldiers have no fighting spirit and the generals have no fighting spirit. In addition, among the middle and upper levels, the issue of whether to attack or to leave was wavering. Even the generals with a little military ability were exhausted from the torment. It can be said that the entire Yan Army's upload and distribution system has almost fallen into a state of paralysis. The result of such late reporting and under-reporting is not completely inconceivable.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Jun will not stop attacking because of Yan Jun's problems. And since there is a problem with Yan Jun, it is reasonable to pay the corresponding price.
Seeing that there was no movement from Yan's army halfway through the journey, Zhao Wei suddenly became bolder!
While marching, Zhao Wei issued instructions: "Send the order, change the formation! Fish Scale Formation!"
That's right, Zhao Wei is going to change his Arrow Formation to Fish Scale Formation.
The so-called sharp arrow formation, as the name suggests, is like a sharp arrow, pointed in front and spread out in the back, which is very conducive to breaking through the enemy's formation. It is mostly an offensive formation.
The fish scale array is still taken from the pictogram. The large army may be divided into units of troops or even units, each forming a small formation, and several small formations of groups or even units may form a line formation. Then there are layers upon layers, criss-crossing, like fish scales.
If the purpose of the sharp arrow formation is to break through the enemy's formation with the strongest tip, then the fish scale formation is used to encircle and annihilate the enemy with an endless attack with the power of Mount Tai.
You can't do it unless you are under absolute advantage!
The reason is also very simple. Although the front arrow formation is the main attack and is the most common attack formation, it still has left and right wings, so it is not completely offensive.
As for the Fish Scale Formation, it is almost a formation with only the offensive attribute. When attacking, it is naturally like a tide, with one wave rising after another, making the enemy unable to resist, and it can defeat the enemy in the shortest time. military.
But from another perspective, if there is no absolute advantage, as long as the enemy sends a powerful force to hit the side and rear of the formation, the formation can be broken in an instant. Z.br>
The reason why Zhao Wei dared to order a temporary change of formation was because the Yan army was too weak! Seeing that he could see the gate of the village, Yan Jun still didn't make any move. He did not change the fish scale formation and strengthened the attack. He felt a little sorry for Yan Jun's slowness.
Of course, on the other hand, Zhao Wei also knew that Generals Zhou Qi and Sun Gu were on his left and right to protect him. Even if the Yan army wanted to go around, they could not get around the three thousand cavalry of the two generals.
Immediately, as soon as Zhao Wei finished speaking, the banner behind him began to dance regularly, and the five thousand elite cavalry behind him immediately began to change formations.
The five thousand elite cavalry quickly formed small formations according to their respective groups and categories, and then turned the entire formation horizontally. However, within a short distance of 200 meters, the formations had already been switched.
At the same time, Zhao Wei, who was rushing to the front of the formation, was only a few hundred meters away from the Yan army's camp. At such a distance, even if Yan Jun wanted to make any move, it would be impossible.
The wild north wind whizzed past Zhao Wei's ears wantonly! And the Yan Army's camp became clearer and clearer, and Zhao Wei could even see the figures on the village tower clearly.
The whimpering horn finally sounded!
Zhao Wei was finally completely relieved. After all, if there was no reaction from the Yan army at this time, Zhao Wei would unconsciously wonder if he was the one who fell into the trap!
Seeing that with the sound of the horn, more and more people gathered in the rear camp (the rear camp where Zhao Wei raided), Zhao Wei did not panic at all. He knew very well that this group of guys who didn't even have a good defensive formation, no matter how many there were, were just the dead souls of his men.
Soon, the cavalry had reached the shooting range of the bow and arrow.
However, it was Zhao Jun who took the lead in launching the bow and arrow attack. After Zhao Jun sent out a hail of arrows, Yan Jun belatedly fired a few symbolic arrows.
When the Yan army finally reacted and the archers finally gathered, Zhao Wei had already led his troops to approach the gate of the village.
With a slash of the long knife, the gate of the village opened wide. It almost didn't cost Zhao Wei any more energy, and the fish
The propulsion ability of the scale formation soon took effect after breaking through the village gate.
Five thousand Zhao troops, like hot knives cutting through butter, quickly trampled through Yan Jun's rear formation.
Wherever the cavalry went, there was chaos in an instant.
The officers and soldiers of the Yan Army who had just returned from the battlefield were mercilessly trampled to pieces by the Zhao Army's cavalry before they even had time to eat.
Or he picked up the long knife beside him and tried to resist pointlessly. Unfortunately, such resistance was destined to be meaningless. Zhao Jun was killed by a lightning-fast blade without even touching his fur. dismount;
Some people rose up to resist, and of course there were those who were running away with their heads in their arms. Unfortunately, at dusk, when it was almost dark, there was no good way to escape. In the end, they could only escape like a headless animal amid the sound of horse hooves. Running around like flies. In the end, it is still difficult to escape the fate of being trampled to death by horse hooves;
Some Yan soldiers simply huddled up and hid in the corner of the tent, hoping that Zhao Jun would not find them. It's a pity that as the tent collapsed, the Yan army's soldiers were naturally buried...
Even the steaming millet rice was trampled by the horse's hooves one by one, flying from the dark brown cauldron into the air, and then fell hard into the half-extinguished fire. , together with the gurgling blood and broken arms and limbs, gathered in the blazing fire.
As the saying goes, every step is slow, and every step is slow. In this battle, perhaps from the moment Zhao Wei's sword easily opened the gate of Yan Jun's village, there was no suspense at all.
But in short, Yan and Zhao are still such generous and tragic people!
The more desperate the situation, the more people will stand up.
Just when Zhao Wei knocked on the gate of Houzhai, King Yan, Qing Qin and others finally got the news.
"Organize the army! Arrange! Defend! Arrange to defend!" After getting out of the camp, Qing Qin shouted for defense almost immediately!
It's a pity that King Zhao, who should have shouted this out faster, was completely confused at this time.
"My king, quickly assemble the army!" Qing Qin was already mad with anxiety.
But King Yan was still stunned on the spot, and he murmured and repeated: "I regret not listening to the general! I regret not listening to the general, what can I do, what can I do... ..”
Qing Qin hurriedly stepped forward again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please assemble your army quickly, otherwise everything will be over!"
The sound like thunder finally woke up King Yan, and he said urgently: "Yes, yes, assemble the army, leave everything to the general."
Qing Qin also sighed lightly after hearing this, but he couldn't care about anything else now.
"Beat the drum and pass the order." After receiving the king's permission, Qing Qin immediately began to mobilize his troops.
"Yes." The soldiers around him did not dare to neglect and agreed immediately.
In fact, now that the matter has come to this, although we don’t know how many Zhao troops there are in the rear, since Zhao Kuo dares to lead his troops, he must be fully confident. Facing Zhao Kuo, how could Qing Qin not know that there was no way to save his life?
The only thing Qing Qin wants is to be able to support him and drag him along.
"Order: Li Pi will immediately take over the defense of the rear camp and must block the invading Zhao army for half an hour."
"Order: The front army retreats slowly until it reaches the middle army. Turn back to the rear army and hold off the Zhao army for another half an hour."
"Order: The Central Army Headquarters shall immediately break out to the north."
"Yes." Each of the ordering soldiers turned around and left the Chinese army.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Qin had issued all the orders.
It can't be said that there is anything amazing about it, and even the order to force General Li surnamed Pi to the rear is a bit taken for granted, and can even be said to be wishful thinking.
Even if General Li Pi was forced to take over the defensive position under pressure, how could he stop Zhao Jun for half an hour? Do you think too highly of your subordinates or look down on Zhao Jun too much?
What's more, the situation of the front army is not optimistic. When three wolf smokes rose into the sky, Li Mu had already rushed out of the village gate with his troops and horses. He made it clear that he wanted to form a fight with the Yan Army's front army and not use it. You have a chance to escape.
Now the order is for the former army to return to the defense.
Escaped from Li Mu's hands? It's not that easy.
But no matter what, in such a critical situation, it is always better to have orders than no orders! Just like taking pictures in the dark, you always have to solve the problem of whether you can take a good picture first, and then consider whether you can take a good picture or not.
"Gentlemen, protect my king and the prime minister, and follow me in the future." Qing Qin didn't have any more words. He picked up his sword and led the soldiers of King Yan and the prime minister to kill towards the north.
Perhaps among all Qing Qin's orders, the only one that was somewhat effective was the Chinese army's northward breakout! Obviously, the Zhou Qi and Sun Gu armies that were circling left and right had not yet completed the encirclement of the Yan army.
The soldiers who received the order obviously realized that the situation was not good. Naturally, they followed Qing Qin, surrounded by King Yan and Prime Minister Li Fu, and headed north?
What other ministers of Yan State? That's not what they need to protect.
Obviously, these "ministers of the Zhu Kingdom" have been abandoned by their king.
Of course, this is not the worst. The worst is the general named Li who was promoted in the Battle of Yanyucheng just now.
When they attacked Yanyu City, he was the one who took the lead; when they evacuated Yanyu City, he was the one in the rear; now that they are flanked by the Zhao army, he is still the one in the rear!
The clay figurine still has a rustic temperament, not to mention, if we talk about the first two times, General Li surnamed Pi still has some self-protection strategies.
But this time, the formation has become a pincer attack. If you stand in the rear, you will only be captured by the Zhao army.
Immediately, the general who took over the order gathered his direct troops and pretended to rush to the rear. In fact, just after King Yan and his entourage got out of the camp, with just a cup of tea, General Li surnamed Li took his direct troops and left the camp.
At this point, the entire Yanjun camp was completely plunged into chaos...
