"Beat the drum, beat the drum! We can't lose to the Shaodian people in terms of momentum. .
"Fifty steps ahead, five companies of armor-piercing arrows, ready, fire!" The archers of the Shaodian Army opened fire.
Phew, walls of fire appeared in front of Xuanyuan Feng's formation, temporarily stopping the Meng army's attack.
A group of magicians immediately flew out of Meng's 85th division team to cast large-scale magic. Behind Xuanyuan Feng, a group of magicians also rose into the air to fight. In order to save magic power, the magicians would not use their full strength before the battle reached the critical moment.
Scattered fireballs, wind blades, and stone bullets were fired at each other.
"The two squadrons in the front of the enemy's attack direction retreated twenty steps, and the troops attacking the enemy's flanks were replaced by pikemen squadrons." Xuanyuan Feng was adjusting his details to deal with the enemy's conical formation.
"The fire is out, the first group comes up, rush forward every five steps, and those in the back row follow closely!" the Meng Army officer shouted.
Groups of Meng troops armed with long weapons approached Shaodian's formation. Twenty men lined up in a row, with a squadron being five rows thick.
Beep~~, the Meng Jun in the front row rushed forward five steps, and smashed the weapon in his hand at the Shaodian Jun in front of him.
The Meng Army and the right-wing Shaodian Army of the Yanyue Formation collided violently. Soldiers on both sides continued to fall, and the battle scene became more and more bloody.
"Go up, go up! Kill these local troops and country bumpkins, and let them know that our Ninth Army is a regular army!" An officer from Meng's 85th Division roared and rushed towards Shaodian's army formation, but was met with three spears.
He faltered to block two gun beams, but was hit in the thigh by the third gun beam, and immediately fell to his knees.
"You stinky pig head, you are a fucking country bumpkin." A legionnaire from the 20th Division rushed out of the queue and raised his spear as a stick. The barrel of the gun hit the neck of the Meng Army officer who was kneeling on the ground.
, "I specialize in fighting regular soldiers like you."
On the battlefield on the right wing of the Shaodian Army, fierce fighting could be seen everywhere. The morale of both sides was about the same, and the competition was about formation coordination and personal strength. After all, the Meng 85th Division was a regular army, and its troops had the upper hand, gradually gaining an advantage on the scene.
Xue Chong was not idle at the back of the army. Together with the cavalry of the 20th Division and Nan Wushuang's scout brigade, they assembled 2,000 cavalry and 500 mixed infantry. Xue Chong served as the temporary cavalry commander.
Wushuang served as the infantry commander.
Nan Wushuang said a little worriedly: "Hey, the right wing seems a bit unable to withstand it."
"Yes, there is no archer support on the right wing, and the number of them is not as good as the enemy. The defensive power of the Yanyue Formation on the plain is not strong enough. Sooner or later, it will be disrupted by the enemy's conical formation." Xue Chong has more combat experience than Nan Wushuang.
Rich, you can see the shortcomings of your own right wing at a glance.
"If the Chinese army is not restrained, can we go around to attack the enemy on the right?" Ding Kui seized the opportunity and asked, wanting to learn more from the experience of these veterans.
"Yes, there are several variations of the Yanyue Formation. According to you, one of them is that the right wing turns into a circular formation for defense, and the central army turns into a sharp arrow formation to attack the enemy's flank." Xue Chong nodded.
"But the enemy commander is not a rookie. The wild goose formation used in the center attack has many variations with the cone formation, but they are more to guard against your surprise attack." Nan Wushuang looked at the cavalry behind Xue Chong and said.
"Defense? Let's attack the middle and knock off one of their wings first." Ding Kui clenched his fist and waved it in front of his chest.
"For those who don't know, I would think that you are commanding a division of cavalry. They have five thousand people on one wing. But the regular army is not a gangster. It's not easy to defeat the two thousand of us." Xue Chong couldn't help complaining about Ding.
Kui, "Just follow me honestly. Can you let me take half of my brothers back to see Mr. Zhang?"
"Haha, I believe in Captain Ding's bravery. Maybe the enemy will become weak when they see his flag." Nan Wushuang explained to Ding Kui with a smile.
"It's a pity that we don't have enough magicians, otherwise we could attack the enemy generals and defeat their rear troops." Ding Kui was obsessed with Deng Guan. If he could use his magic power, he and Ao Yu could capture that man together.
Division commander.
"I understand." Ding Kui's words made Xue Chong suddenly realize. "No wonder General Miao asked us to rest in the back. He was worried that the magicians from Meng's 84th Division would help attack the formation. Once those magicians left the enemy's rear, they could immediately
Let us go out and attack the enemy's rear. If the magicians return to support, we will retreat; if they do not return to support, we will attack and capture the enemy's general tower."
"Well, well, that makes sense. All we need to do is hold back the enemy on the frontal battlefield. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Even if we can't defeat the enemy, we won't suffer. Here, we used two divisions to hold back three of the enemy's troops.
There will be a lot less pressure on the main force of the division and legion." Nan Wushuang's perspective on the problem has improved.
Several of them thought of the reinforcements along the way, namely the remnants of the 19th Lindi Division behind them, but they did not expect that there was a larger reinforcement force behind the enemy.
Meng's 85th Division began to invest more troops in the offensive, and Xuanyuan Feng was a little unable to support it. Miao He decisively sent Nan Wushuang to lead 500 infantry for emergency support. With these 500 new troops who fought extremely bravely, Xuanyuan Feng barely stood firm.
Heel. Since all the archers were concentrated in the central army, Miaohe's defensive pressure was much smaller. Even if the Meng 86th Division increased its troop investment, it did not gain any advantage.
Less than twenty minutes after the battle started, dust rose up from behind Shaodian's army. After a while, the scouts sent by Xue Chong ran back shouting "Reinforcements are coming!" This news quickly spread to the army formations where the fierce battle was taking place.
During the battle, the right wing commanded by Xuanyuan Feng immediately boosted its morale, halted the Meng army's advance, and began to counterattack locally.
On the general platform of the Meng army, Deng Guan looked anxious and held an order flag tightly in his hand.
"Sir, the enemy's backup force is about to arrive. We should send the army's magician regiment to support the 85th Division and let them defeat the enemy's right wing as soon as possible." The staff officer suggested to Deng Guan.
"No, have you forgotten what troop attacked us first? The cavalry, the cavalry! Where is the enemy's cavalry? Once the magician leaves, what will happen if the enemy's cavalry rushes over? Only our remaining troops can stop it.
Can you live there?
Our magicians cannot be used easily. We must first determine where the enemy cavalry is going. Wherever they attack, we will shoot the magicians. The enemy's backup troops will not be many, and their total strength should not be as large as ours."
Although Deng Guan was anxious, he was still not in trouble.
On the general stage of the Shaodian Army, Xue Chong came to ask for a fight. Miao He shook his head and said: "No, now is not the time to use you. Xuanyuan Feng has received support from the backup troops. We are not seeking to win this battle, and we must try our best to reduce casualties."
