Text Chapter 1168 Seeing the Battle of Longyuan
On January 19th, the intermittent snow stopped again, and the warm sun shone on the earth.
...
The sound of war drums is stirring on Jianlongyuan, and this fertile field has become the best battlefield. The Yangshang Legion has always been famous for its power and iron cavalry, and Qianfeng is also quite confident in the positional warfare of the Qin Army. Liang has already set up a battle.
Looking from Xiping City, the fertile fields in the east are densely packed with people. The Ziyin Kao flag and the dark blue uniforms of the imperial soldiers form a blue ocean. In the distance, the red clothes worn by the merchant army look like blood-stained. However, from the point of view of the number of people, it is still the Shang army that has the absolute advantage. More than 400,000 people have an advantage against the 200,000 people of Qianfeng.
However, there are more than 100,000 Feng Jixing horses in the city, once they leave the city, the outcome will be uncertain.
"Who is Qianfeng's striker? He has already set up a charge." Xiang Yu frowned.
"It's Chen Xiaoli, the commander of Qihai City's garrison." Feng Jixing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Chen Xiaoli was originally a general of the Tang family, and he was like a snow wolf in the north. Open the enemy's loopholes, just wait and see, Yangshang's forward is the Dongning Army under the command of Han Yuan, and it will never be Chen Xiaoli's opponent."
"Yeah?"
Xiang Yu was noncommittal and said, "When shall we attack?"
"Don't worry, first sharpen the spirit of the merchant army, let everyone have a good rest, and talk about it later in the afternoon, this battle cannot be finished in a day or two."
"Um."
After a stick of incense, the war drums roared, and the vanguards of both sides began to charge each other. Chen Xiaoli did not charge in person, but raised his long sword, and the commanders behind him led the headquarters to attack. The formation moved away slowly, and if you look carefully, you can find that most of the infantry are composed of heavy shields, spears, and crossbows. About 20,000 people are in the center, while the cavalry is divided into two groups on both sides, waiting to go slowly.
On the other hand, Won's tactics are much simpler, cavalry attack, brainless attack!
"Ha, Han Yuan lost." Feng Jixing said with a smile.
Guan Xing and Lin Xun also laughed. Most of the commanders in the merchant army choose people with high cultivation and high reputation, rather than those who can really use soldiers. This is the fatal flaw of the merchant army.
As expected, nearly 50,000 cavalry from the merchant army charged on the shield formation and smashed into a mass, wantonly killing the infantry under Chen Xiaoli, but the cavalry deployed by Chen Xiaoli on the two wings began to speed up. Sweeping across the chaotic enemy cavalry formation with the force of a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, the sound of killing rose into the sky for a while.
One side is chaotic and has no command, while the other side is orderly and well-organized. Even if there is a huge difference in the strength and combat power of the two sides, the result is still doomed. The method of warfare is always the most important part of war.
...
"Chen Xiaoli doesn't seem to have the desire to take the initiative to fight..." Lin Xun said: "His phalanx has not moved forward much, but the infantry of the merchant army has moved forward nearly three miles without knowing it. "
"This is exactly the genius of Chen Xiaoli and Qianfeng." Feng Jixing said with a smile: "The merchant army's heavy infantry are just ordinary people, but the shield, armor, and weapon together weigh a hundred catties , An ordinary person carrying hundreds of catties of equipment to move three miles, his physical strength is almost exhausted, but the cavalry is different, look at the southeast corner, Qianfeng's 10,000 high-level demon elite cavalry are ready to attack."
Lin Xu took a closer look and immediately felt relieved.
Which one of the commanding generals on the battlefield is not a well-known general?
It didn't take long for nearly 80,000 heavy infantry from the merchant army to arrive on the battlefield, but before the formation of the battle formation was completed, there were killing sounds in the distance, and Qianfeng had ordered 10,000 elite demon cavalry plus 5,000 armored demons to charge.
Beat slow with fast!
In an instant, the 80,000 heavy infantry were smashed to pieces by the demon phalanx, which was much smaller than their own. There was no defensive formation, and they were completely reduced to being hacked and killed.
...
"Commander Han Yuan, how do you use your troops?"
On Shang Guo's viewing platform, Yang Shang asked indifferently.
Han Yuan's face was livid, and said: "Your Majesty, I..."
On the side, Xun Xi said: "Your Majesty, the Dongning Corps will definitely be defeated within an hour!"
"What should we do now?" Yang Shang was a little anxious.
Xun Xi smiled faintly: "Those monsters known as the Protoss were originally the elite of Qianfeng's troops. To defeat them, we can only rely on His Majesty's most elite troops."
"You mean... Shenyu Camp?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please send the Shenyu Battalion to fight. Only the Shenyu Battalion can reverse the defeat."
"Okay!" Yang Shang took a deep breath and said, "Dora, you go, don't let me down."
"yes!"
Dora got on her horse, and after giving an order, more than 40,000 Shenyu Battalion warriors rushed out like a whirlwind.
In the Qin army, Qin Yan led the National Assembly army to rush and cover, so as to protect the demon army from being wiped out by the Shenyu battalion.
...
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was approaching noon. There was a sound of fighting on Longyuan, and everyone could even faintly smell the bloody breath coming from the battlefield. On the city, the generals watched the battle situation in the distance , Xiang Yu frowned and said: "The Shenyu Battalion has already attacked, and I am afraid that Qin Yan's Congress Army will be wiped out if we wait any longer."
Feng Jixing nodded: "Tang Town has also launched an attack, and the Shenyu Battalion has been entangled... Pass down the order to keep 5,000 people to guard the city, and the rest will fight out with me, directly attacking the middle army of the merchant army! "
"yes!"
Not long after, the mighty imperial cavalry rushed out of the city first, and went straight to kill the already shaken merchant army. Moreover, the imperial army waited for work with ease. It can be imagined how elite they are. For a while, the battlefield was somewhat stalemate, hesitant Feng Jixing's troops Joining, a stone immediately stirred up a thousand waves, the killing sound became more intense, and Dugu Xian's 150,000 Thunder Soul Corps fought against Feng Jixing.
Seeing that Longyuan was completely in chaos, it became a mess, and hundreds of thousands of troops were killed inextricably.
Corpses are strewn across the field, blood flows like rivers, the snow and grass are full of blood, broken weapons and horses that have lost their masters are everywhere, the artillery fire on both sides has been exhausted, and now they can only fight with flesh and blood, even Even these famous generals of the Great Qin Empire could not grasp the formation gradually, from positional battle to melee, the rest was just the judgment of fate, no one knew who was the real winner.
...
The fierce battle continued, people rushed back and forth on the battlefield, and the whole night passed, and the fighting still did not stop. Even the wind followed the order, and the three armies took turns to rest and fight. Many soldiers retreated three miles and slept for an hour to eat some dry food. Drink some water and immediately rush to the battlefield with bloody weapons.
Neither of the two sides was willing to take a half step back, so that they saw corpses everywhere on Longyuan, the formation of the army became chaotic, and there were troops from both sides fighting each other everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and it was already the second day of the fierce battle.
The two sides ceased fighting for three hours, and launched an attack again before dawn.
Feng Jixing's battle robe was already stained red with blood. He didn't know how many times he escaped the pursuit of the two demon gods, Longxi and Feili, through the cover of the heavenly book. The casualties of the imperial army were very serious. There are at least thousands of soldiers under the hands of the Great Demon God, but this is war, and whoever loses first will lose control of the Western Mountain Province.
In the dark night, the torches were almost all extinguished.
Feng Jixing's face was covered in blood, and he slowly pulled out the Scarlet Phoenix Knife. The light of the knife illuminated the people nearby, and he saw that Qianfeng, Qin Yan, Tang Zhen and others were also in a state of distress, their armor was broken, and they were full of blood. It was blood, and each of them suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity. Under this kind of fierce battle, no one could escape injury.
"How many people do we have?" Feng Jixing asked.
"Less than half." Qianfeng said.
"It doesn't matter, the loss of the merchant army is greater!" Feng Jixing raised his long knife with boundless killing intent in his eyes, and shouted: "The enemy army is two miles away, kill me, and fight to the end!"
Everyone raised their weapons one after another: "Fight to the end!"
If the god of death sees this scene, he must be very happy, because the ground is full of souls and dead people, seeing that Longyuan has become a purgatory on earth, a battlefield for slaughter.
...
On the second night of the fierce battle, the strength of the merchant army was instantly reduced by half.
On the third day, the merchant army began to collapse.
Facing the iron-blooded army commanded by Feng Jixing and Qianfeng, the Tianjue Corps fled, and all the more than 100,000 soldiers became deserters. How could the remaining nearly 100,000 remnants belong to the Qin Army? Opponents, at noon, Yang Shang ordered to retreat and retreated to Tianji City.
After three days of fierce fighting, they finally won.
The Qin army rested in place, and almost everyone had a feeling of escaping from purgatory. Those who survived this war were the lucky ones.
...
On the first day of defeat, Yang Shang beheaded 27 senior generals on the way to retreat.
The next day, Yang Shang ordered the beheading of 54 civil servants.
On the third day, Yang Shang arrived at Tianji City and beheaded 288 civil and military officials.
The news of the defeat has already spread in Tianji Province, and in the imperial capital of the Shang Kingdom. Almost everyone knows the news of the disastrous defeat of the Shang Emperor's personal conquest. Everyone knows that Feng Jixing and Qianfeng of the Great Qin Empire were in Xiping Mansion, and they were only slightly injured. On the contrary, the Shang army lost three commanders and 37 commanders, and almost all the senior generals died in battle. Most of them, and the rest were chopped off by the furious Yang Shang for the crime of incompetence.
The even more frightening rumors are that the Kingdom of Shang has been completely split, and news came from the east that Chen Yu had re-emerged as emperor in Luohan City.
The world is completely divided into three parts, and among them, the state of Shang is in decline, and the state of Qin is the strongest.
...
See the Battle of Longyuan, the most tragic battle of the Great Qin Empire.
Qian Feng and Feng Jixing had a combined strength of 35W. After the Battle of Longyuan, there were only less than 16W left. While the merchant army was hit hard, they themselves were also hit hard.
In the final analysis, most of the National Congress Army are recruits, and most of Xiping Mansion's army are also recruits, with insufficient training. If it is not for the lack of training of the opponent, I am afraid that Feng Jixing and Qianfeng will not escape the end of being annihilated.
