Chapter 752: Unbeatable Moon! (Thanks to ZY-Wuyan for the reward!)
At this moment on the battlefield, the sounds of shouting, horse hooves, and weapons clashing were intertwined together, forming a thrilling picture.
Liu Yu stood in the center of the formation, calmly observing the situation on the battlefield, issuing orders from time to time and adjusting the layout of the formation.
Under his command, the "Queyue Formation" seemed to have come to life, responding flexibly to every attack of the Night Evil Army.
As time went on, the offensive of the Night Evil Army gradually weakened, while Liu Yu's army became more morale-boosting and fought more courageously.
At this moment, the Queyue Formation was like an invisible giant hand, holding the Night Evil Army's cavalry firmly in its palm. No matter how they struggled, they could not break free from its restraints.
There was a flash of unwillingness in Zhao Guangyi's eyes in the formation, but more of it was a helpless recognition of the current situation. If it continued like this, the Yesha Army would probably be in an irretrievable situation.
"Raise the flag and let Guangyi and the others retreat!"
"Han Chongyun, Liu Qingyi, the two of you go and support Guangyi and the others!"
The voice of Zhao Kuangyin in the rear seemed particularly steady in the chaotic battlefield. As a hero, he never lacked the courage to cut off his own arm to survive.
At this time, Zhao Guangyi in the formation also learned from the cavalrymen beside him that the flag of retreat in the rear had been raised. Although he was extremely unwilling, he also understood that this was the only option at the moment.
"Brothers, follow me!"
He took a deep breath, glanced around at the soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles, and shouted loudly.
However, it is not easy to escape from this impregnable Queyue Formation.
Liu Yu's army seemed to have foreseen their intentions. Not only did their formation not loosen at all, but it became even tighter, as if they wanted to swallow them up completely.
Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin, leading the cavalry behind them, were like tigers stuck in a quagmire, and every step they took was extremely difficult.
"Keep your word, we have to find a breakthrough!"
Zhao Guangyi said hurriedly, his eyes quickly searching the battlefield, trying to find a flaw.
Shi Shouxin nodded, tightly gripping the spear in his hand. His eyes were equally sharp, and he was always ready to clear the way for Zhao Guangyi.
At this moment, a sudden rain of arrows poured down again, and Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin had to raise their shields to protect their vital points.
Arrows fell on the shields like rain, making dense and crisp sounds.
When the rain of arrows stopped for a while, Shi Shouxin suddenly discovered that the chariot defense line on the right seemed to be a little loose due to the continuous impact. It was an adjustment made by Liu Yu to deal with the flank attacks from Wang Shenqi on both wings.
"Chance!"
Shi Shouxin growled and squeezed the horse's belly hard. The warhorse under him seemed to sense his master's will, neighed, and rushed towards the tiny gap.
Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi hurriedly followed behind him, the spear in his hand cutting through the air like lightning, clearing the obstacles on both sides for Shi Shouxin.
Seeing this, the Night Fury cavalrymen behind them also followed suit. For a moment, the gap seemed to be torn open by an unstoppable force.
With the support of Wang Shenqi, Han Chongyun and Liu Qingyi outside, Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin finally broke out of the encirclement of the Queyue Formation with a part of the cavalry before Liu Yu's army could react.
After rushing out of the formation, Zhao Guangyi did not stop immediately, but continued to gallop on his horse until he was sure that he was far away from the suffocating battlefield. Then he slowly pulled the reins and looked back.
The Queyue Formation not far away was still as solid as a rock, but to them, it was already a dead end.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was in the rear, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin in the front successfully break through. In today's battle, although the Night Evil Army failed to break through the Queyue Formation, at least they preserved their manpower and were not completely wiped out.
"What a great Liu Yu! His reputation is well-deserved!"
Zhao Kuangyin muttered to himself as he looked at the Queyue Formation in front of him, which was still as solid as a rock, with a hint of admiration and fear in his tone.
He has now met another truly famous general of the time, and the last person who put him under such pressure was Wei Qing, whom he met in the northern part of Hengzhou!
This time, the Queyue Formation set up by Liu Yu taught him a lesson again.
The entire formation was like a miracle of nature, perfectly integrating infantry, chariots and cavalry, demonstrating unprecedented combat effectiveness, forcing him to re-examine his own tactical system.
"This 'Queyue Formation' is truly amazing. It uses infantry to defeat cavalry, yet it can exert such a powerful combat power!"
Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes and sighed, saying that in the days to come, there would probably be more contests between him and Liu Yu.
It is estimated that the Night Evil Army will focus its attention on the Da Ling Dynasty for a long time in the future. As Liu Yu is one of the largest rebel forces in the Da Ling Dynasty, the two sides will inevitably have dealings in the future.
Just as Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi and others who had escaped in a panic were preparing to reorganize their troops and launch another attack, they discovered that Liu Yu's army had quietly retreated.
On the battlefield, there was only devastation and the smell of gunpowder in the air.
"This……"

"Why did they withdraw?"
Zhao Guangyi was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Kuangyin with a little confusion in his eyes.
"Liu Yu is a cautious and decisive person. When he saw us temporarily withdraw from the formation, he knew that it was meaningless to continue to entangle with us."
"He is indeed extraordinary. He will definitely be a great enemy of my Night Fury Army in the future!"
Zhao Kuangyin sighed deeply, his eyes looking deep.
Since ancient times, there has never been a real advantage for infantry in encounters with cavalry. Previously, Liu Yu relied on the Queyue Formation to surround and beat up the Yesha cavalry of Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin.
But the formation is a dead object after all, and it is impossible for it to move all the time, let alone compare with Xiaorui's Night Fury cavalry of the time.
If Zhao Kuangyin and his men did not continue to make mistakes, but instead used the mobility of the cavalry to carry out patrol operations.
As long as Liu Yu did not continue to launch a head-on attack, no matter how hard he tried to restrain the cavalry, it would be useless and they would be exhausted sooner or later.
As the founder of the Queyue Formation, Liu Yu was naturally aware of this, so he did not continue to fight and just ran away after fighting for a while.
Zhao Kuangyin and others did not continue to pursue them. They did not come here to fight to the death with the three Liu brothers.
Now the two sides could barely be considered to have fought a battle of encounter. Although Zhao Kuangyin and his men suffered a small loss, with his political acumen, he could roughly guess what the three Liu brothers of the Daling Dynasty were planning.
If the three brothers were really determined to fight against the Night Evil Army, it would not just be this small elite force under Liu Yu that had just arrived.
Sure enough, not long after, a secret letter was secretly delivered to Ye Wuhen, the commander of the Yesha Army.
In the letter, Liu Bang and others expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Yesha Army, and proposed conditions such as dividing spheres of influence and jointly overthrowing the Daling Dynasty.
After reading the letter, Ye Wuhen curled up a playful smile.
