Chapter 234

In the south of Cangzhou City, Jin Yan (Liu Shouguang established the Yan State and claimed to be Emperor Dayan) and the two armies were finally ready to start a big battle after the deployment was completed.

At this time, the sun was rising, the sky was full of dust, and spears and armor were like forests.

The soldiers of the Yan Army waited for work with leisure, but they were very excited... However, the morale of Li Cunxu's side was not bad. The Jin Army did not shout like the Yan Army, but Li Cunxu could feel a sense of chilling from it.

Li Cunxuce immediately stepped forward and looked into the distance, only to see that the enemy army had formed a square formation.

Li Cunxu had read some military books after crossing over, and he also had some understanding of this square formation.

This square and circular array is a combination of a square array and a circular array, and a large circular array is composed of multiple square arrays.

The general is located in the center of the formation, and there are multiple troops on the periphery, which are deployed layer by layer. The spears and archers are outside, and the cavalry and other mobile forces are inside. Most of them are used when fighting with superior enemy forces.

The formation of the square circle is dense and the defense is strong. Due to the dense formation, the mobility is limited, and there is no change.

It is said that this formation is one of the ten formations in Sun Bin's Art of War, but Sun Bin himself does not seem to have used it.

The first person to use this formation was Zhao Kuo of the State of Zhao in the Warring States Period.With more than 20 Zhao troops, he set up this formation when the Qin army was surrounded and had run out of food.Qin general Bai Qi recognized this formation and did not dare to attack by force. He just ordered people to stick to Changping's key points. Zhao Jun held on for more than 40 days, and then surrendered due to lack of food...

All in all, its central tactical idea is dense defense.

After Li Cunxu saw the enemy's camp, he felt a little strange.The enemy army is obviously actively seeking war, but in the end they put up an active defensive camp...

But Li Cunxu's formation here is very straightforward, and what he puts out is a fish-scale formation.

The formation of the fish-scale formation is that the general is located in the middle and rear of the formation, the main force is assembled in the center, and the rest of the forces are divided into several small fish-scale square formations, which are arranged in steps. The front end is slightly convex for attack, which belongs to the offensive formation.

The tactical idea of ​​​​the fish-scale formation is to break through the center, that is, to concentrate forces to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy's formation.Its weakness is also obvious, the tail side is defenseless.

In short, Li Cunxu intends to make a quick decision!
At this time, all the generals had already rode their horses to the central army, and while they looked back at the Yan army's camp in the distance, they talked a lot.

"Everyone..." Li Cunxu said.

When everyone heard the words, they turned their heads one after another, and Li Cunxu said: "I won't talk nonsense, the opponent has few soldiers, and the general is timid. Let's just push across."

At this time, Wang Yanzhang, who was in the lead, said, "Your Highness, the general wants to borrow two brothers, Yang Yan and Yang Miao from you. With two warriors, Yang Yan and Yang Miao, the general can tear apart the enemy's camp with one blow!"

In fact, Wang Yanzhang was a little apprehensive.He was afraid that his actions would be misunderstood by Li Cunxu with ulterior motives.

You must know that you are an old general of the Liang Kingdom, and Yang Yan and Yang Miao were also from the Liang Kingdom before...

Unexpectedly, Li Cunxu nodded and said directly: "Yes!"

"The general obeys orders." Yang Yan and Yang Miao looked at each other, then clasped their fists together and followed Wang Yanzhang away.

Afterwards, Li Cunxu waved his hand and said directly: "There is nothing more to say. The two armies meet on a narrow road and the brave wins. Everyone, go back to your battalion and prepare to launch an attack."

At this time, the Chinese army where Li Cunxu belonged had a flag with the word "Jin" hanging high and fluttering in the wind.

Afterwards, Li Cunxu took a deep breath, immediately pulled out the Yitian sword, and shouted loudly to the front: "The whole army assaults!"

As Li Cunxu's call sounded, the horns of the Chinese Army suddenly hummed, and the drums also blared loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cunxu heard a frantic shout like a tsunami, and the soldiers of the Jin army rushed up!

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

Shouts sounded everywhere, and horseshoes rumbled.Wang Yanzhang, holding an iron spear, led a group of heavy armored cavalry, and took the lead in stepping through the smoke and dust in the sky.

Hearing Wang Yanzhang's stern shout, he swung his heavy iron spear aggressively and swept around, and there was the sound of gold and iron clashing and people's screams in an instant, it was really brave.

After all, Wang Yanzhang is a master in the mid-heaven realm, and the iron spear in his hand is as powerful as Mount Tai, so the Yan soldiers in front of him were disrupted by him in just a moment.

Afterwards, two kinds of zhenqi, one red and one blue, lit up again, and another bloody storm broke out. The soldiers around were either seriously injured or killed, or they were chased and fled in all directions.

At this time, a general of the Yan army rushed up on his horse.Wang Yanzhang took up his iron spear and attacked fiercely, General Yan hurriedly responded to the enemy with a long sword.

Hearing only a bang, Wang Yanzhang failed to control the enemy with one move.Wang Yanzhang's eyes froze, he silently performed the Dragon Yin Kung Fu, and swept away with a single shot.

How could that Yan general be able to stop him, and he was shot down instantly.

...The forward of the Yan Army was crushed by heavy cavalry led by Wang Yanzhang from the front, and a large group of Yan Army soldiers immediately swarmed and retreated.

The charge of Wang Yanzhang, Yang Yan, Yang Miao and others was like a fuse on the battlefield, burning violently in an instant.After Wang Yanzhang's former army rushed in, other troops soon rushed in.

In short, the soldiers of the Jin army who rushed into the Yan army were all extremely fierce. Most of the generals among them had middle-level martial arts and did not need protection at all, so they all fought the enemy bravely like wolves and tigers.

At this time, in the Jin army, Wang Yanzhang led the heavy armored cavalry to rush forward, on the right was Wang Jianhe and Li Tai, surrounded and rushed to kill, and on the left was General Pan Feng, who was holding a stone-piercing axe, hacking into the depths...

……

The result of this Battle of Cangzhou is beyond doubt, and naturally the Jin army won a big victory.

On the second day, the city gate of Cangzhou was opened wide, and the governor led officials, soldiers and civilians to kneel on the ground along the way.

The governor looked up at the word "Jin" on the big flag, and couldn't help but shouted: "The guilty minister welcomes the king and son of Jin... The guilty minister has long been unwilling to follow that innocent traitor, and only looks forward to the arrival of the heavenly army."

Wearing light armor, Li Cunxu rode his horse forward, pointed at the governor of Cangzhou who was lying on the ground, and said: "I will forgive you for your innocence, and the official will be reinstated to appease the people. There must be no mistakes!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your great kindness!" The governor was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly bowed his head.

At this moment, several cavalry scouts galloped towards this side.When they got off their horses, they knelt down on one knee and cupped their fists and said, "General, the Khitan army is about to march to Youzhou, but Liu Shouguang has not taken any measures."

Li Cunxu beckoned, and the guards on the side immediately bent forward and unfolded a map of Youyun's entire territory.

Li Cunxu looked at it for a while, then pondered: "Is it almost there..."

He thought for a while, and then said immediately: "Wang Jianji, you immediately lead your army to advance to the northeast and take Pingzhou..."

"The final general obeys orders!" Wang Jianji cupped his fists.

Li Cunxu thought for a while, and then ordered: "Wang Yanzhang, you go north immediately and lead your troops to take down the two prefectures of Tanji..."

"The end will be ordered!"

"The rest of the ministries, after a day's rest, march northwest with me and head straight to Youzhou!"

"The last will obey!"
