Chapter 40: The Chaos in Yiyang (Part 2)
Chapter 40: Yiyang Chaos Fight (Part 2)
Wen Qin didn't know that all the equipment of the Seven Evil Guards was seized from the hands of Cao's army, so from the outside, there was no difference between the Seven Evil Guards and Cao's army.
On the other hand, according to Wen Qin's knowledge, most of the cavalry in Cao's army was stationed in Youbing and the Central Plains area were considered cavalry. Later, some people were divided into Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and became Tiger Guards. Thinking of this, Wen Qin felt that the Seven Evil Guards might have been separated from Tiger and Leopard.
One group was Cao's army, and the other group was Cao's army, but both sides fought, which made Wen Qin confused. Wen Qin waved his hand and signaled that the troops who were still practicing below stopped, and then said, "Send the order, reorganize the army immediately and follow me out of the city."
Because there were more than 3,000 troops on both sides of the battle, Wen ordered two thousand troops and together with the thousand new troops training on the school field, they left Yiyang City together.
At this time, Deng Ai was facing difficulties.
Since A Dou retreated, Deng Ai continued to march towards Yiyang. However, he did not expect that when approaching Yiyang, the Seven Evil Guards suddenly broke out from the side. At this time, Deng Ai had no time to find a place to ambush, so he had no choice but to choose to line up in place to resist.
Before the appearance of heavy cavalry, infantry did not have many disadvantages in frontal battles, but on the contrary they had a slight advantage. Without the assistance of the high bridge saddle and stirrup, the cavalry needed to waste a lot of energy on controlling the horses and maintaining physical balance. Infantry only needed to maintain the formation and not be dispersed by the cavalry. Because of practicality, in the era before the Three Kingdoms, cavalry was only used as sharp blades for raids or weapons to harass the flanks. The main force of large-scale combat on the battlefield was still infantry.
So when Deng Ai discovered the cavalry of the Seven Evil Guards of Ado, his first reaction was to line up. As long as he could maintain the formation, the opponent's cavalry would have no choice but to use his infantry. If he wanted to use his cavalry to forcibly attack the infantry's position, it would be a kind of act of seeking death.
Seeing Deng Ai quickly line up the formation and waiting for him to arrive, he also guessed Deng Ai's intention. Looking at Deng Ai's posture, it was impossible to disrupt Deng Ai's formation from the front, so Adou immediately ordered the seven evil guards to take the opportunity to attack through the detour.
As soon as the Seven Evil Guards turned, they immediately began to circle the side, preparing to start attacking from the flanks.
Seeing the Seven Evil Guards circling toward the flank, Deng Ai knew that Adou did not want to fight against him on the front, but chose to go around to the side. So Deng Ai immediately ordered: "Transfer the order, change the formation, and use the flank to meet the enemy!"
With Deng Ai's order, the infantry formation began to rotate. At this time, when A Dou saw Deng Ai changing the formation, he immediately ordered and immediately went back. Deng Ai also understood A Dou's intention and ordered the soldiers to change the formation again.
The speed of this infantry is not as fast as that of a cavalry. Besides, there are not many 3,000 soldiers, and the formation formed is not very large. With the speed of the cavalry, it only takes a moment to go from the front to the back. Therefore, when the Seven Evil Guards circled behind Deng Ai, Deng Ai's formation had not yet been changed. At this time, the infantry was still in the process of changing the formation, and did not list the iron-like formation like he had just now. From the direction of A Dou, the opponent's infantry formation was already in chaos.
"Young master, good opportunity!" Xiang Fei next to him said immediately, and at this time, Adou also ordered: "Send an order, prepare to throw a gun!"
At A Dou's order, more than 200 Seven Evil Guards immediately pulled out a javelin from behind, held it in their hands, and rushed towards the opponent's infantry at the same time.
"Take it for me!" Seeing that the infantry formation opposite had entered, A Dou gave the order, and the seven evil guards behind him immediately threw the spear in their hands towards the infantry formation in front.
"General, look, they are going to throw guns!" The school next to him reminded Deng Ai.
Deng Ai estimated the distance and then spoke, "No need to worry, if they were on the flat ground, they might be able to shoot us. Now they are sitting on the horse, they shouldn't be able to throw it here."
As soon as Deng Ai finished speaking, more than 200 spears turned into more than 200 long snakes, flying towards Deng Ai's infantry formation along the parabola. When he reached the top of the parabola, the spears began to accelerate and fall downwards. The sound of breaking through the air came from the sky. More than 200 black sky fell from the sky and landed in the infantry formation, and a large number of infantry were instantly knocked down. These soldiers who were still busy changing the formation were not at all prepared for the weapons falling from the sky. Blood splashed everywhere in the infantry crowd and screamed in succession. Some spears penetrated two or even three people at the same time.
"This is impossible!" Deng Ai shouted. Adou's sudden attack made Deng Ai a little at a loss. Deng Ai had never seen anything like throwing a gun, and he didn't know how to guard against such a weapon.
Spraying is not common in the Central Plains. Looking at the Han Dynasty, only a few people in Liangzhou cavalry were good at using spraying. The cavalry of Youzhou and Bingzhou used more bows and arrows. In comparison, spraying and bows and arrows have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The range of bows and arrows is farther than that of guns, with a wider range of killing distance, and it is easier to carry than guns. Generally, a rider can carry ten guns, but with the same weight, the rider can carry three pots of arrows. In terms of the number and convenience of carrying, bows and arrows must have some advantages.
Another point is that the amplitude of the archery movement is smaller than the amplitude of the archery movement. This archery mainly uses the elasticity of the bow, and what a person does is pull the bow, and the pitching is an action made entirely by the strength of the body. When a person is throwing the throwing action, the center of gravity of the body will definitely lean forward. If it is on the flat ground, it doesn't matter, but it is different on the horse. If there is no kickstick and a Takahashi saddle, once the person throws the throwing gun with all his strength, the body will not be able to maintain balance immediately. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the rider will definitely not dare to do his best when throwing the throwing gun. Therefore, without the kickstick and the Takahashi saddle, the range and power of the pitching gun are far less than that of the bow and arrow. The poor practicality makes ordinary cavalry not equipped with the weapon of throwing guns.
When Deng Ai saw the Qisha Guard take out the gun, he immediately calculated the distance between the two armies. The answer was that it was impossible to hit him. However, what Deng Ai didn't expect was that with the help of the Gaoqiao saddle, the Qisha Guard did not need to consider maintaining balance immediately. The double kicking of the foot also gave the foot a focus point, which could throw the gun more vigorously. Therefore, the range of the gun thrown by the Qisha Guard was much farther than that of the ordinary gun.
The single lethality of the gun is far greater than that of the bow and arrow. An ordinary leather shield may be able to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky, but it will definitely not be able to block the guns falling from the sky. In front of these guns, the armor on the soldiers' bodies is not so strong. In addition, the infantry formation is already dense, and many people are worn together like candied haws and then nailed to the ground.
Deng Ai was still surprised by the range of the shots, and the second round of the shots of the Seven Evil Guards had arrived again. The sharp sound of breaking through the air came again, but this time the sound became a death-hunting roar in everyone's ears.
The things flying in the sky are not so easy to judge the trajectory. In the sunlight, the shadows shot from the guns are moving rapidly towards the infantry phalanx. Faced with these flying guns, the infantry instinctively began to retreat backwards. No one hopes that these deadly guns will eventually fall on themselves. And when everyone avoids guns, they are involved in each other, the infantry phalanx has long been out of shape and has a lot of loopholes.
In the middle, Deng Ai saw this situation and knew that things were not good. The most important thing for infantry to fight against cavalry is to rely on formations to defend the dead. Now that the formation is in chaos, the opponent's cavalry can charge unscrupulously!
"Hurry, come in a formation!" Deng Ai shouted. Deng Ai knew that he had to set up the formation as quickly as possible now, but unfortunately, Adou would not give Deng Ai this opportunity. At this time, Adou had noticed the most chaotic place in front of Deng Ai's formation, so Adou immediately ordered: "Brothers, fight with me!"
Adou took the lead and rushed to the front. More than 200 Seven Evil Guards followed closely behind him, forming a cone formation, like a sharp knife, inserted into the infantry phalanx. The infantry phalanx was instantly broken into a gap. Once this gap was opened, it was difficult to fill it again.
"Support it!" Deng Ai shouted, and Deng Ai had no choice at this time. Deng Ai actually wanted to retreat, but Deng Ai also knew that if he retreated now, the Seven Evil Guards would definitely pursue from behind. The cavalry chased the infantry in the retreat. The situation can be imagined. Deng Ai did not want to retreat and eventually turned into a defeat, and then the entire army was wiped out.
At this moment, the school next to him pointed to the distance and said, "General, look at where!"
Deng Ai looked around and saw a group of people appearing on the horizon in the distance. He couldn't see the specific number clearly. However, it was estimated that there were several thousand people. He was a general in the head, wearing silver armor, and a big word "wen" was written on the banner behind the general. There was also a row of small characters on the word "wen" - the prefect of Han Yiyang.
"It's Wen Qin coming!" Deng Ai immediately reacted. At this time, Deng Ai seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. It's estimated that Wen Qin brought at least two thousand people. If he added his own 3,000 people, then he would have a 20-fold advantage of the Seven Evil Guards and twenty times the strength of the Seven Evil Guards. Deng Ai believed that even if he was hard to waste, he could beat the Seven Evil Guards.
"The reinforcements are coming! Brothers, kill me!" Deng Ai shouted. At this time, the others also saw Wen Qin's arrival. When they saw the reinforcements, Deng Ai's soldiers were in a hurry, and gradually stabilized their positions and began to resist.
In the distance, Wen Qin's army had already set up its formation. Wen Qin looked at the people fighting in the distance, and from his clothes, he was indeed Cao's army. This made Wen Qin's mind full of questions.
"Sir, what should I do?" asked the school next to me.
Wen Qin frowned and said, "Tell the three armies to continue moving forward, get closer and see what's going on.
At this time, Adou also saw the team of people coming from afar. Judging from the flag, it was Wen Qin, and the number was still large. Deng Ai's men immediately stopped the decline after seeing the reinforcements coming and began to slowly organize resistance. The situation was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to Adou's side.
"I am Wen Qin, the prefect of Yiyang! Who is ahead?" Wen Qin started shouting from a distance.
"Wenqin, I am Deng Ai, help me destroy the enemy!" Deng Ai shouted immediately.
"Deng Ai?" Wen Qin was stunned for a moment, and did not react to who Deng Ai was.
On the battlefield, Adou saw Wen Qin's stunned look, his eyes rolled, he thought about it, and shouted: "Wen Qin, help me eliminate the rebel Deng Ai!"
"Who are you?" Wen Qin shouted.
"I am Tian Pengzu, a commander of the Wuwan Captain, and the horses who went to Xiangyang to General Cao Ren under the fate of the Prime Minister. All of these people are rebels, pretending to be an official army and want to take my war horse!" Adou shouted immediately.
Wen Qin nodded. Wen Qin knew that Tian Pengzu was the son of Tian Yu, the new Nanyang prefect, who was stationed in Youzhou for many years. Looking at the cavalry under A Dou, all of them were the best Hun war horses. If it weren't for Youzhou, how could there be so many Hun war horses? Wen Qin was even more sure of the identity of A Dou and his group. It seemed that the Qisha Guards riding horses did indeed come from Youzhou, and the Qisha Guards were probably an army established by Cao Zhangxin, so he had never heard of it.
Hearing Adou's words, Deng Ai was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't smoke. Deng Ai hurriedly defended: "Wenqin, don't listen to his nonsense. He...he...he...he's not Tian...tian Pengzu!he...he...he's...he's Liu..."
Deng Ai was angry with Adou, and his stuttering problem came up again, and his speech was intermittent. When Adou saw that Deng Ai was about to tell his identity, he immediately shouted and interrupted Deng Ai:
"General Wen Qin, come and help me destroy the thieves. I will return to Xudu in the future and I will definitely report to the Prime Minister for the general's achievements today!"
A Dou's words work better than anything else. Wen Qin has been buried for too long, and he is almost crazy to get promoted. When he heard that A Dou wanted to seek credit for himself and personally, he wanted credit for Cao Cao, Wen Qin immediately became excited. At this time, Wen Qin was already blinded by A Dou's promise. Wen Qin waved his hand: "My boys, follow me and help General Tian with his arm!" Then Wen Qin took the lead and rushed towards Deng Ai.
"Wen...Wen...Wen Qin! You...you...you are confused..." Deng Ai became more angry and stuttering as he spoke. In the end, he couldn't even say what he wanted to say.
Seeing Deng Ai stuttering at this critical moment, Adou was extremely happy. Adou immediately shouted: "General Wen Qin, let's go together to kill this group of thieves. I'll give you a good Hun war horse!"
All generals have preferences for war horses. When Wen Qin heard what A Dou said, he became even more excited. At the same time, Wen Qin couldn't help but thank A Dou.
On the other hand, Deng Ai became even more angry when she heard Wen Qin thanking A Dou. Deng Ai slapped himself hard, and at the same time cursed in her heart that when she shouldn't have stuttered, she stuttered so hard that she couldn't even say anything.
