The first thousand two hundred and twenty-five chapters go to war
Chapter 1,225 The war begins
Seeing Dian Wei charging forward on his own, Huang Wan's personal guards also showed ferocious smiles and charged towards him.
"Things that don't overestimate their own capabilities."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Dian Wei's mouth, and he waved the two iron halberds in his hands, hitting him with a blow. The first guard was cut in half before he could react.
The iron halberd was like the wind, like a meat grinder, setting off a bloody storm, killing all of Huang Wan's dozen personal guards, leaving not a single person alive.
"kill."
After Dian Wei killed these people, he chased Huang Wan like a bloody man.
"help me."
Looking at the terrifying Dian Wei, Huang Wan felt like he was scared to death. Although he was a high-ranking official and the Marquis of Yangquan, he had never seen such a situation.
While galloping on his horse, he shouted at the soldiers in front of him.
"Save your lord."
Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out of the formation and attacked Dian Wei.
"kill,"
Although Baiqi rushed into the formation, Dian Wei was not afraid at all. His eyes were full of excitement and he continued to charge forward.
Dian Wei was like the ancient god of war. Among hundreds of cavalry, he felt like he was in a deserted place. The enemies he killed were almost suspicious of his life.
But in this short time, Huang Wan also returned to the military formation.
"Fire an arrow and shoot him to death."
Huang Wan was still in shock. When he saw that Dian Wei had killed hundreds of cavalry, he couldn't help but roared and ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows to kill Dian Wei.
For a moment, flying rocks rained down towards Dian Wei.
"Depend on."
It is true that Dian Wei is a bully, but he is not stupid. He is just flesh and blood. Even if he is wearing heavy armor, he will be seeking death if he continues to charge forward.
While waving the iron halberd, he turned the horse's head and retreated backwards. Fortunately, the war horse under Dian Wei's crotch was a divine horse carefully selected by Yuan Shu. It could chase wind and lightning and leave the range of the arrow rain in a few flashes.
In this way, his armor was also pierced with several arrows. Fortunately, the armor was thick and these arrows did not hurt Dian Wei at all.
"Your Majesty, Dian Wei failed to capture Huang Wan. I hope he will be punished."
Dian Wei looked at Yuan Shu sadly, his eyes filled with guilt.
"Punishment, I will definitely punish you, reckless man, you are a brute. How can you ride alone to charge into the opponent's army of hundreds of thousands? If you die, who will protect me?"
Yuan Shu really wants to slap Dian Wei now. This guy always does this. This is not just once or twice. Fortunately, he is skilled and bold, and can save the day every time. If it had been anyone else, he might have been buried alive.
They are already two meters high.
"Dian Wei knew he was wrong and won't dare to do it next time."
Originally, Dian Wei didn't care, but after hearing the last sentence, he realized his mistake. It's not terrible that he died. What's terrible is that if he really died, he wouldn't be able to protect Yuan Shu.
"It's good to know. If there is a next time, without the enemy killing you, I will chop off your head first."
Yuan Shu also had nothing to do with Dian Wei. After all, he had a donkey temper and it was really difficult to change it, so just let him be.
"promise."
The two of them entered the military formation together, and Zhong Yao also came directly to the two of them.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the guards take the lead and try to defeat Huang Wan in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Dian Wei."
Yuan Shu nodded and glanced at Dian Wei.
"exist."
Dian Wei dismounted directly and knelt down on one knee towards Yuan Shu.
"Order the guards to wear armor and line up in front, the Winged Tigers behind, and the militia next. Wait for the guards to tear through the enemy's defense line, and then give me a hard beating without mercy."
Yuan Shu directly divided the 120,000-strong army into three tiers. At the front were the armored guards of less than 10,000. After the guards were the Winged Tigers trained and reorganized by Ji Ling. The third tier was brought from Xindu and Yuzhou.
The militia group also has the Nanyang soldiers and horses who just rounded.
"Wan Gong, how should we form an array?"
Seeing Yuan Shu's army on the opposite side marching in formation, Huang Wan's general also directly clasped his fists at him.
"Take the 40,000 elite soldiers under our command as the advance formation, accompanied by 30,000 troops of Pang Qing, Zhou Yi, and Sima Xun, Cai Mao's 50,000 navy troops as the middle army, and the remaining troops as the rear formation."
This lineup was planned by Huang Wan a long time ago. With his own elite troops and 30,000 Pang Qing, Zhou Yi, and Sima Xun as the vanguard, it was enough to deal with Yuan Shu's main force.
Although Cai Mao's navy is also elite, it is still proficient in water warfare and is somewhat inferior in land warfare. If he can compete with Yuan Shu's main force, Cai Mao's navy will definitely be able to directly tear Yuan Shu's military formation apart.
As for the last tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they are just a make-up.
"promise."
Soon Huang Wan's military orders were circulated among the army, and Huang Wan's 170,000 army also began to follow his wishes and began to change their formations.
"Xu Fu, when will we start?"
Cai Hao glanced at Huang Wan's army that was changing formations, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. The army was at its most vulnerable when changing formations. If he could act now, it would definitely cause the army to collapse.
"Commander, please be patient. Although the army is at its most vulnerable now, if we rebel now, Huang Wan's army will inevitably collapse and scatter in all directions. It will be difficult for Your Majesty to pursue them.
Instead of going like this, it is better to wait for now, wait until they are entangled with His Majesty, then raise the flag high and attack Huang Wan's rear team, then they will not be able to escape at all if they want to."
Xu Fu shook his head slightly. Now was not the time. Yuan Shu wanted to finish his work in one battle. If he launched his attack in advance, he would probably cause the rebel army to scatter in all directions. It would not be easy to capture them by then.
"Okay, then let's do this for the time being and follow Huang Wan's orders to change the formation."
Now that Xu Fu said this, Cai Hao nodded and immediately ordered the navy to act in accordance with Huang Wan's order.
For a time, the two armies changed formations one after another, but Yuan Shu's side was obviously more elite and had higher execution ability. Huang Wan completed the change in one step first.
"The Guards Charge."
After the formation change was completed, Dian Wei stood behind the military formation and directly ordered the guards to charge forward.
The guards lined up in a neat military formation and marched slowly towards Huang Wan's side. The Yihu Army followed the guards, and the militiamen were at the back.
Suddenly, the 120,000-strong army began to move towards Huang Wan as a whole.
"Mr. Wan, the enemy is coming to kill you."
Seeing the enemy coming, his bodyguards spoke directly to Huang Wan.
"Instruct the main force to move forward and the rear team to seize the time to regroup."
Now that the enemy has the upper hand, Huang Wan has no choice. They already have more troops than Yuan Shu, and they are not as elite as the opponent. Having more people is his advantage and disadvantage.
"promise."
Soon the 70,000-strong army in the front line moved forward directly and launched an attack on Yuan Shu's side, while Cai Mao's 50,000-strong naval force followed closely behind. Only the soldiers in the rear group were still seizing the time to organize themselves.
"Crossbow, release."
Dian Wei commanded the rear of the guards and directly ordered the guards to hold crossbows and fire arrows to kill the enemy.
In one moment, tens of thousands of crossbows were launched, and locusts were like rain, shooting directly at Huang Wan's army on the opposite side.
"Shield, up."
Opposing the guards were also the elite of Huang Wan's elite. When they saw the crossbow arrows coming, their large shields were instantly erected, like a city wall, to resist the crossbow arrow attacks for the rear army.
"Fire the arrow."
There was no need to be disrespectful, and Huang Wan's men were not idle either. They directly ordered the soldiers to fire arrows in return.
For a moment, arrows rained like clouds, flying out from Huang Wan's side and shooting towards the guards.
"Shield, keep moving forward."
These arrows are just scratching the itch for the guards. What they have to do now is to rush into the enemy's formation as quickly as possible and open a bloody path for the rear army.
The guards rode forward without fear of the rain of arrows, and directly attacked Huang Wan's army.
"Shield, spear, move forward."
The general in charge glanced at the guards who were close at hand, and directly ordered the soldiers to raise their shields, set up their guns, move forward, and attack Yuan Shu's side.
"Fight with me?
Then let them see what it means to be the best among the best."
"Flying Halberd,"
Dian Wei gave an order, and each guard member held a short iron halberd, and then all the halberds flew towards Huang Wan's elite soldiers.
Seeing the short halberd flying towards them, Huang Wan's army also panicked. After all, it was a one-meter long short halberd. It was flying so fiercely. Even if they were elite soldiers, how could they not be afraid?
"Calm down, calm down, shield and defend quickly."
The general of the front team also knew that now was not the time to panic, so he directly ordered the soldiers to calm down and defend.
"puff."
"puff."
"ah."
When the short halberd fell, Huang Wan's side was immediately thrown off their feet, causing countless casualties. Even if they were protected by shields, it was useless.
"Charge the formation."
Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, Dian Wei had nothing to say and directly ordered the guards to charge into battle.
