Chapter 140: Battle

"I have calculated that the plundered food and grass in the past few days can only last for about half a month. Without logistics supplies, the best way is to concentrate troops to fight against the rebels before the food and grass is cut off. As long as you win, everything will be fine. The plan formulated by the Marquis can continue to be implemented smoothly."

Yang Zong said lightly that Liu Zhe's main force is on the front line of the two mansions, there is no doubt that he is 90% sure that there are not too many elite soldiers left in Tangyuan Mansion. Maybe the more than 10,000 people who have been discovered by the detective cavalry now are Liu Zhe's entire family in Tangyuan Mansion.

With more than 30,000 to 10,000, the army has the advantage, and then I will find a way to hold back the soldier. If there is no accident, the chance of winning is still quite high.

"Okay, I'll go find the second prince now."

Liu Hong said that, and hurriedly ran out, but not long after, he returned dejectedly. It was obvious that the second prince did not accept his advice.

"Brother Yang, the second prince doesn't listen to me at all. What should we do now?"

Yang Zong sighed in his heart when he heard this. He realized that the second prince was not unreasonable, but was unwilling to confront the thief head-on and wanted to preserve his strength.

He patted Liu Hong on the shoulder, "Forget it, don't worry. Although the second prince's strategy is not well thought out, it is not completely undesirable. The worst case is that the cavalry battalion suffers some losses, but it is also a good thing if it can really cut off the thief's food route."

As the Zhenguo army divided into two groups, on the other side, Liu Feng quickly received news from the scouts to investigate, so he immediately sent the cavalry that had just formed to chase after him.

"Remember, you just need to follow them and give pressure. You don't need to fight with them. If they want to fight, you run away and understand."

Before the cavalry set off, Liu Feng specifically explained that this cavalry had just been formed and could not be the opponent of the opponent's cavalry, so the best way was to follow from afar, so the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army was concerned and did not dare to attack the county town with all their strength.

After the cavalry left, Liu Feng led the infantry to start dealing with the Zhenguo Army.

As time went by, when the Zhenguo Army's food became less and less, and the cavalry battalion sent by Liu Feng had no harvest at all, the second prince Li Jun finally realized something was wrong, so he immediately recalled the cavalry battalion. He did not want to fight to the death with Liu Feng, but wanted to retreat and leave Tangyuan Mansion.

In response to this, Liu Feng naturally could not let him do what he wanted, and immediately blocked the Zhenguo Army's way back with his men.

The road back was blocked, and even if the second prince was unwilling to do so, the Zhenguo Army had to fight.

The army of both sides was distributed across the basin in the middle.

Li Jun was riding on the war horse and looked forward. An army in black armor stood in front. On the mountains on the east and west sides, flags were waving, and it was obvious that there were many people and horses arranged.

And in the places where they cannot see, the fighting between scouts did not stop for a moment.

"The front army attacked!"

With Li Jun's order.

The horns were ringing. Amid the whimpering horns, nine thousand infantrymen of the front army picked up their swords and guns, arranged neatly in the military formation, and approached Liu Feng.

The small basin was covered with red soldiers and was densely packed. At a glance, people suddenly felt a feeling of depression.

"shoot!"

When the front army of Zhenguo Army reached a certain range, Liu Feng's attack began. The crossbow soldiers in the first three rows raised the yellow crossbow in their hands and began to line up to shoot. In the interval between each crossbow soldiers, there was a spearman holding a swallowtail shield standing.

For a moment, the rain of arrows was like locusts! Continuous!

"Swish!Swish!Swish......"

With the blessing of Liu Feng's official position, the arrows that were already powerful in the crossbow soldiers became even more powerful. The wooden shields in the hands of the infantrymen of the Zhenguo Army and the light armor on their bodies seemed to have become paper-paste, and were penetrated by the crossbow arrows. Only infantrymen holding iron shields could block these arrows.

Under the continuous rain of arrows, the people of the Zhenguo Army continued to fall on the way forward, and the range of the yellow crossbow seemed to have become an invisible barrier.

However, soon the archers of the Zhenguo Army were also transferred up and started to fight back. The rain of arrows shot over came like dark clouds.

"shield!"

At this time, the huge dovetail shield of the spearman played a lot of role. The large shields were merged together to block the upper part. Although there were some casualties, it was much less than that of the Zhenguo Army.

"rush!"

Taking advantage of the breakup soldiers' shooting being interrupted, the Zhenguo Army immediately took the opportunity to launch a charge.

The crossbowmen began to retreat, and the spearmen immediately stepped forward.

As the swallowtail shields hit the ground, the spearmen in front formed a shield wall as soon as possible. The tall soldiers raised their spears and looked coldly at the Zhenguo Army rushing up.

"kill!"

The soldiers on both sides quickly collided and started a fierce battle. Facing the thick swallowtail shield of the spearmen and the scrambled guns behind the shield, the Zhenguo Army suffered a great loss and suffered a lot of casualties.

Regardless of the same time, the spear stabbed by Zhenguo Army also caused casualties to Liu Feng, but in general, the casualties of Zhenguo Army were much greater.

"go ahead!"

With the issuance of the central army's orders, the phalanx of the spearmen was like bulldozers, constantly advancing forward, leaving corpses all over the ground along the way.

When the casualties of the front battalions of Zhenguo Army reached a certain level, morale began to decline, and slowly some people began to retreat. On the battlefield, one person often retreated, and a large group of people would be brought back together.

Seeing this sign, the general of the front army suddenly drew his sword and said, "If you pass the order, those who dare to take a step back will be killed. If you die on the battlefield, your family will receive pensions. If you retreat, you will be killed without mercy. Don't let our military flags and family members be shamed? The army in the country is mighty!"

His orders were passed one after another.

Suddenly, the retreating soldiers immediately stopped their retreat.

The military law of Zhenguo Army is quite strict and absolutely does what he says. Even relatives and nobles are not spared. Thinking of his family and the glory of Zhenguo Army, the soldiers immediately regained their morale and would never retreat even if they died here in battle.

The entire basin seemed to have become a meat grinder. The soldiers on both sides fought together, only those who fell to the ground and died but those who did not retreat.

Countless corpses were stacked, and in just half an hour, several battalions of the front army of Zhenguo Army were killed. As the casualties grew, the morale of the soldiers continued to decline. If it were other troops, they would probably have been defeated by this time.

"Hurry, tell the Second Prince that the front army is about to be unable to hold on, let the cavalry battalion attack the enemy's flanks!"

Seeing his subordinates fall one by one, the generals of the front army immediately said to the messenger.

"yes!"

The battle situation in front soon reached the central army. When the second prince Li Jun heard this, he couldn't sit still and said, "How long has it been, why did the front army suffer such great casualties?"

You must know that the opponent's elite soldiers have not taken action yet.
