"Huh? Isn't Sheng Tengfang the commander-in-chief of the Han army? How can he go to the front line to fight in person?"
Just outside the battlefield, a small group of people were pointing at the battlefield. Almost everyone had a telescope that allowed them to see the battle situation very clearly.
"The information I read the day before yesterday said that this person has a brave and reckless temperament. It turned out to be true when I saw him today..."
One of them explained, but he did not put down the telescope in his hand for a moment. This thing was extremely difficult to obtain even with the power of their lord, and it took many years of effort to create twenty or thirty of them.
If there were a martial arts master at this time, he would be horrified to find that more than half of the team of more than ten people are top-level masters or above. He would be horrified to find that there is only one martial arts master in the entire Northern Han Dynasty.
There are innate masters here too.
And if the nobles in Beijing saw the faces at the center of this small group of people, they would be extremely horrified. Aren't these the most trusted advisers and wise men of the Tang Dynasty? How could they come so far away?
Come to Northern Han Dynasty to watch such a small battle with less than 100,000 people?
Yes, a small battle with less than 100,000 people! Compared with the layout of the Central Plains Dynasty and the strength of Tang Wang Jifa, the 40,000 cavalry here are really insignificant. Therefore, rather than saying that these people are paying attention to the outcome of the war,
It should be said that these people are paying attention to the course of the war and testing the combat power of Zhou's army!
Sheng Tengfang was in disgrace. He had been defeated in the Northern Expedition until now. He could finally wash away his shame with the blood of the enemy. The light in his eyes condensed, and he let out a loud roar, which sounded like a yellow bell and a big Lu.
Fang Tian's sharp halberd flew up and down. In the cold light, it looked like a white dragon was playing in the river and sea. It was rolling up and down within a zhang circle around him. It was noisy and noisy. Wherever the white light passed, the Zhou army's ranks also divided like waves.
The waves are unstoppable!
"Roar——"
Another Zhou Army general came forward as a heavenly soldier. No Zhou Army officer could tolerate Sheng Tengfang being so wanton in his conduct. This was a humiliation worse than death!
Although the training of this unit was pretty good, the real combat effectiveness of the Zhou army soldiers who had never seen blood was really unsatisfactory. When the two armies collided, the cooperation and rotation of the soldiers in their army were compared to those of the Han soldiers led by the old army.
The military is down by more than one level.
But the middle and upper-level leading officers among them were extremely responsible and dedicated to their duties. Not only the young colonel who was about to die, but also three Army Sima-level officers had died in Sheng Tengfang's hands one after another. The military formation at the headquarters was about to be broken.
"Great cooperation! The Han army's combat power is superior to ours."
Among the small group of people outside the battlefield, a middle-aged man couldn't help shouting. He had just seen clearly that a group of Han soldiers were cooperating, rolling in with spears, swords and shields, and they only lost seven people.
Defeated a group of Zhou troops in front of them. The gains were at least three times greater.
The Zhou army on the battlefield is well trained and very brave. However, when fighting, they often ignore the superiors and inferiors, caring about themselves and others. Although they are restricted by military discipline to the military formation, many of them seem to be fighting alone rather than fighting alone.
Military formation cooperation.
As for the Han army, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, blocking arrows and spears, and behind them were two rows of spearmen and one row of swordsmen. The spears were thrusting in turns, and the swords were chopping up broken objects. There were also swordsmen and short soldiers on the left and right to cover, and there were even more swords and axes.
The powerful melee soldiers like the hand are then used, suitable for both near and far. They are skilled in the coordination of long spears, cannons, shields, and short soldiers. Veterans may not make up the majority among them, but they play the role of the backbone of the body.
Use the old to lead the new, and after training for a period of time, as long as you hit two rolls or get down on the battlefield, you will be an elite again.
Let’s look back at the formation.
That was Zhou Jun's primary school who rode towards Sheng Tengfang.
"Ah——" He seemed to know that he was no match. When he faced the opponent with his knife, he couldn't help but let out strange screams and howls to cheer himself up! But he didn't even have time to crash into the rolling and flying ground.
When the white rainbow appeared, the whole group of people and horses flew out.
Although Sheng Tengfang charged forward, he did not come alone. There were five thousand Han troops behind him, and there were also elite guards from the personal camp on the left and right. The junior high school student was looking at Sheng Tengfang, but forgot about the other direction and was surrounded by a group of soldiers.
A pro-army infantryman swung his sword across the horse's hoof.
The horse's legs immediately flew up, and the people also flew up. Before they even landed on the ground, they were still rolling in the air when Sheng Tengfang, who caught up with them, chopped them into two pieces with a knife. The two corpses were floating down with blood mist all over the sky.

…
In a Yuanrong car about 200 steps away from the front of the formation, Gong Rui looked at the battlefield that was gradually disappearing into chaos with a slightly gloomy expression. The left and right wings of the front formation seemed to be disintegrating. If not stopped, the two wings would soon collapse.
The general was completely defeated. At that time, the central army in front of the formation, that is, his position became the first line of fighting.
Whether the Han army besieged and killed the main force of the Zhou army in the middle of the front army on the spot, or continued to invade the central army, it could cause irreparable losses to the 'rebels'!
"Send an order to the central army to dispatch three thousand troops each to reinforce the left and right wings!" Gong Rui glanced at the pale Nangong Qi, "Are you not defeated yet? Cheer up!" Although the younger brother of the clan also joined the army, he was the leader of Jinwu and Zhengrong.
There are so many differences between armies.
But what happened to the army in the front line? Why couldn't they defeat the Han army, which was only one-third of their number?
Is the difference in combat power between the two sides really that big?
Gong Rui's mouth felt astringent for a while, but his will remained unwavering. What we wanted in today's battle was not the result but the process.
"Send out the Qingqi!" Gong Rui said to the person behind him.
"Pass my general order to order Yan Wei to lead an attack and defeat the Han cavalry!" This order from Gong Rui was quite decisive. Because the ten thousand light cavalry behind the army formation were the elite of the Tang Dynasty's close troops. He was really
It was unbelievable that the 10,000 well-equipped and determined cavalry guards could not defeat the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty. Gong Rui believed that after Yan Wei's attack, the army would definitely restore its decline.
However, it was too difficult to ask this light cavalry to defeat the opposing cavalry and then break through the Han army's rear formation. Because this hope was too slim, Gong Rui only asked them to give the 10,000 Han cavalry a heavy blow.
, and then formed a certain restraint on the main formation of the 30,000 Han army, preventing them from rushing forward boldly to kill.
In this way, the Han army's front army will have no follow-up force. When their front retreats, our own army can calmly counterattack or retreat from the battlefield.
There is no victory, but it is not a defeat! We can even shamelessly say that this is a strategic victory. It consumes the limited living strength of the Han army and preserves the main force of the army. The purpose of testing the combat strength and fierce war experience is also
Achieved!
With Gong Rui's two troop deployments, the situation on the battlefield changed again. The rebels' originally top-heavy inverted pagoda-like formation has now become a "T" shape.
More than 30,000 troops were crowded in the front formation, while only 10,000 infantry troops were left in the middle and rear formations, including 5,000 elite troops at the bottom of the box.
The addition of three thousand troops on each side of the left and right wings immediately stabilized the already endangered 'rebel' wings. However, it was obviously impossible to switch from defense to offense.
Although their military strength has reached twice that of the Han army, it is simply impossible to fully utilize the advantage of their combat power. The current front-line fighting is only the two sides colliding fiercely, fighting to the death with spears and spears.
Wielding broadswords, the fighting was fierce, which can be seen from the fact that the battle line lingered in the area where they first came into contact.
"Oh, the light cavalry was dispatched so soon!" Yunyi stood upright on the Yuanrong chariot in the formation. The slowly tilting of the battle situation kept a smile on his face. After seeing the 10,000 cavalry rushing towards him, this smile changed.
It became even more brilliant.
"Deng Ming."
"It's a humble job." A member of the small school stood up.
"Send the order to the cavalry and order General Luo to lead his troops to attack."
"As commanded."
"I then sent an order to Liu Yuanhe in the formation, and ordered him to look at the signal flag and launch his bow and arrow to attack quickly." Yunyi waved his hand and dismissed Deng Ming, then turned around and ordered Liu Yuanhe, the shooting commander in the formation, "Let him
Be sure to read the signal flag carefully, if there is any delay, military law will be pursued."
"Yes, sir." The attendant at his side responded respectfully.
"Follow me to kill -" Yan Wei immediately led his troops to fight out. In the current situation, they are only slightly behind, but they definitely still have the strength to fight. The thought of turning the tide is what every general thinks about.
, now the opportunity is in front of Yan Wei.
He defeated the Han cavalry and contained the Han army's rear formation. He was the first hero of this battle. Even if he was a member of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry, such honor was enough for him to covet.
Ten thousand light cavalry galloped out, 40,000 iron hooves shook the ground, and with a thunderous sound, they quickly rushed towards the rear of the Han army!
Yan Wei even thought in his heart, why Zhu Biao was not present in this confrontation. If he defeated the 10,000 cavalry led by Zhu Biao, it would be difficult for him not to develop.
After coming to Guangyang County, Yan Wei saw a book "Characters of the Northern Han Dynasty". It is divided into two volumes: Jianghu and Guanfu. The official volume is divided into three volumes: Wen, Wu and Xungui. The royal family is included in Xungui.
Among them, Zhu Biao was rated as one of the few with a heavenly mark, and was hailed as the most promising rising star in the Northern Han Dynasty!
If I could defeat the famous general named Tianzi, wouldn't it mean that I would be more powerful than Zhu Biao?
"What a pity!"
"Death comes——"
The sword in Yan Wei's hand swung out again. The sharp blade tore through the air and let out a low whine. The two Han cavalry in front of him were unable to resist. They and their swords were shocked and flew out.
Go on horseback.
"Drink--" Yan Wei rode past, and swung his broadsword one after another, killing and injuring more than a dozen riders. Suddenly, he realized that his eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a bright light. He had actually killed the Han cavalry...
Looking back at the fighting in the formation, I could only feel that the blood all over my body was boiling. The sound of killings in the wilderness was loud, and the entire battlefield was like a pot of boiling water, rolling and boiling.
