Chapter 122
beep blah blah blah...

"Tsk! It's coming again!"

The familiar sound of the horn flute sounded again, and Xiang Yan said angrily with a look of hatred, because he couldn't sleep well at all.

Since the first attack, Xiang Yan's army has been subjected to intermittent surprise attacks from cavalry troops for three days and three nights.

And they always choose to come at night, taking advantage of the darkness to launch attacks.

The enemy seemed to know that Xiang Yan and the others were on guard, so after the second time, they didn't fight into the depths of the barracks like the first time.

At that time, I saw the dust rolling up, and when I was thinking about where the cavalry would appear from, I saw a herd of horses running towards them, accompanied by a series of crossbow arrows, but they turned around quickly.

And this time too.When Xiang Yan looked at them, they had already started to retreat and disappeared into the night after a while.My own bow and arrow can't pierce the opponent's armor, how can I fight?
This has to say that technology is the primary productive force!Itachi's Daybreak Legion is all wearing newly made light armor, which is light and strong in defense at the same time.

"These cowards! They always come out to make trouble and run away immediately, so they come here in a dignified way!"

Xiang Yan kicked a nearby tree trunk angrily, but still couldn't vent her anger, so she stomped her feet vigorously again.

In order to resist such an all-round surprise attack, two days ago, with Xiang Yan as the center, a formation of soldiers was laid out like a circle to defend in all directions.

This formation also worked, and their damage was very slight, but, with wave after wave of attacks, the morale of their own army has been significantly reduced.

The fear of not knowing when they will be attacked, and the tense state of not being careless at any time, coupled with the fact that they have no way to really fight back, and they can only blindly defend, it is easy to make people feel tired.

Having said that, they still knew that the enemy was nearby, so they couldn't lift their alert.If the enemy finds that they have relaxed, they will definitely seize this good opportunity and attack again like the first time.

Although they also sent scouts to monitor the surroundings, it was not easy to find the enemy in this kind of night.And most importantly, the enemy's movements are too fast.

Due to the good visibility during the day, the enemy will not choose to attack during the day, but the soldiers are all exhausted after dealing with the night attack, so they must set aside more time to let them rest.In addition, although the square array is useful for surprise attacks, it is not suitable for movement.Therefore, Xiang Yan's marching speed slowed down significantly.

This is another Itachi's plan to disturb the enemy's mentality.

"Has it finally dawned? Great!"

Xiang Yan stared at the eastern sky, which was stained with a layer of light red, without blinking her eyes.

Although it was significantly behind the scheduled time, we finally arrived in Danyang before noon.As long as Danyang is invaded, those hateful cavalry units will no longer be able to harass them calmly as they have so far.

At that time, he must torture them to death with the resentment accumulated till now.After Xiang Yan made such an oath in her heart, she returned to the tent and closed her eyes to rest.

Forced to be on alert all night, he could not sleep well, and the soldiers were unable to exert their strength due to sleep deprivation.It is his style to be fully prepared to be foolproof.

Perhaps because of his exhaustion, he quickly dozed off——

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !

The horn whistle sounded again, waking him up.

Because the enemy attacks for these three days were all carried out at night, he was completely careless.However, the enemy cannot act as they think.He couldn't help feeling annoyed at his own naivety.

Xiang Yan yelled, as if wanting to vent that anger.

"Where is this time!?"

"It's the army from Danyang, probably the main force of the enemy army!"

"It's over there! Tsk, now change to a dense formation, move quickly!"

Xiang Yan quickly issued instructions.

Although the square array is extremely effective against all-round surprise attacks, it is very vulnerable to a fixed-point attack.If you fight with the enemy's main force in this formation, you will definitely cause huge damage.

All the soldiers of Chu State have been trained for a long time, and the generals who are the small captains are also carefully selected talents.Normally, the formation should be reorganized in the blink of an eye.

However, due to the dawn, it was time for the soldiers of Chu State to rest, so they relaxed.Fatigue from lack of sleep and low morale added to their distress.

As a result, the formation couldn't be reorganized for a long time. While they were procrastinating, Itachi's main force, the spear force, had already let out a loud cry and rolled up dust to attack.

The second regular battle between the Han and Chu armies thus kicked off.

Roars and screams intertwined one after another.

The soldiers on both sides released a murderous aura that seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts, filling the air.The breath of death spread and could be felt with the skin.

"Okay! Go ahead like this!"

"Pike stab"

Itachi commanded the battle from the chariot.

It seems that the Daybreak Legion's battle was very successful, and the enemy army was obviously shaken, and seemed completely unable to cope with their offensive.So, they fought a bloody path in the enemy army with a turbulent momentum.

War basically depends on the strength of the two sides.As usual, if you attack from the front, you will lose.

And Itachi's combat method is to let the cavalry unit disrupt the morale of the enemy.

"Therefore, the enemy is able to work if he is lost, he can be hungry when he is full, and he can move when he is safe. 』

It means: if the enemy is at ease, make him tired.If the enemy has enough food, make it scarce.If the enemy is not moving, attack and force him to move.

It seems to work wonders.

The Han army's spears easily defeated the soldiers of Chu State, which can already be said to be a unilateral massacre.Victory seems to be at hand, yet...

"Hey, Itachi, the enemy formation seems to have changed again."

"Tsk! As expected of a generation of military gods, but it's also within my expectations."

After hearing Yan Lingji's reminder, Itachi clicked his tongue.

Although he planned to maintain this momentum to kill a bloody path in the enemy's line and take the head of the general, but things didn't seem to be that easy.The enemy army revived faster than he had imagined.

"It seems that ordinary methods won't work."

Itachi had a hunch that this would be a tricky battle, so he couldn't help biting his lower lip.

On the other hand, Xiang Yan also gritted her teeth anxiously.

It was chaotic at the beginning of the battle. He managed to minimize the damage and reorganized his posture to launch a counterattack. However, he was unable to defeat the enemy army as he thought. Instead, the enemy army with few troops was gradually approaching. .

This is probably because the morale of their soldiers has dropped due to lack of sleep for days on end and fatigue.

However, compared to that——

"What kind of gun is that!?"

The spears used by the enemy are twice as long as theirs, and they are arranged in a dense formation to attack. In this case, one's own side cannot attack continuously.

Because of this, they cannot attack the enemy, and only the enemy can attack unilaterally.If it is an individual action, facing the kind of gun that can only stab forward monotonously and is terribly long, you can easily dodge and kill the enemy.However, when many people gather, there is no gap at all, and there is no way to avoid it.

Moreover, their bronze shields were easily pierced and shattered, and they couldn't be used to block the attack, which was really depressing.

"Is that all... iron!?"

The iron age has just come, and the refining of iron is still very scarce in various countries, but how can there be so much iron in a small place like South Korea?
"Heh, heh heh, it was reported a while ago that the Korean army has advanced weapons, it seems to be true. Interesting, really interesting!"

As expected of Xiang Yan, who has experienced many battles, she has completely calmed down and decided on a strategy.

"But what should I do?"

Xiang Yan licked her lips and looked at the battlefield again.

The Korean army equipped with that kind of iron spear is indeed a threat.Obviously only less than 20 troops.

Having said that, it has to be attacked from the front.

"Hmph, I saw through it!"

Such a spear was indeed a formidable force to the enemy ahead, and he even decided to set up a similar force upon his return from victory.

However, with the dense formation and the strange long guns, no matter how you look at it, you can't adapt to the situation.Just trying to turn at a right angle will block the rest of the team, so it shouldn't be possible to move freely.In other words, as long as you attack from the side, you can play some counterattacks.

"Hehe, fighting us on such a flat land is the cause of your defeat. And, hehe, I thought of a brilliant plan."

"Let me end this battle myself!"

Xiang Yan nimbly rode on his favorite horse chariot, showing a fearless smile.

"The flanking army surrounds the raid!"

"The troops in the middle open the door to herd cattle!"

"This is not enough for you, my cow is wearing heavy armor!"

"hey-hey"
