Shang Dingtian's brows gradually relaxed, and he comforted himself: Although he lost two generals, victory finally came.
After annihilating Liu Ling's main force in one battle, if Liu Ling can be killed again, then... his era of Shang Dingtian is about to come!
He even saw himself standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the prosperous world and the majestic appearance of the splendid country!
However, just as the smile on his brows rose, a bone-chilling chill emerged from his heart and quickly froze his limbs. Shang Dingtian's expression suddenly stiffened, and there was a boundless look in his eyes.
Fear began to spread.
The rapidly pressing Han army rushed forward a hundred steps and then suddenly stopped, and then quickly formed a defensive square under the command of officers at all levels! The first two rows were shieldmen, and behind were three rows of archers.
, followed by Chang Lishou and Pu Daoshou. The Han army formed the formation at an astonishing speed, and they had obviously been prepared for it. The Han army rushing over in skirmish mode seemed to be all over the mountains and plains. After forming a square formation,
Shang Dingtian discovered that the Han army only had two small flags!
Four thousand people!
The main force of the Han army consisted of 12,000 troops. This can be clearly seen from the number of flags displayed during the march. Liuqiu's scouts counted one hundred and twenty flags several times!
The Han army that went into attack before had a force of one small banner. The Han army that appeared now had a force of two small banners and three small banners. Where are they?
Behind you.
Shang Dingtian turned around to look, and saw a group of Han troops turning from the other side of the mountain and rushing towards the flank of Liuqiu's army. Shang Dingtian's heart beat wildly, and fear made his hands feel a little nervous.
Trembling uncontrollably.
"The rear team! The rear team changes formation! The front team continues to move forward and tear apart the Han army's defense!"
Shang Dingtian ordered loudly. He did not notice that his voice became hoarse and unpleasant at this moment. He snatched the flag from the hand of the messenger and waved it vigorously. Liu Qiubing appeared on the rear and flanks.
As the Han army encircled them, Liuqiu soldiers, who had high morale, immediately panicked. Shang Dingtian personally trained only 8,000 elite soldiers, including the 3,000 Tengjia troops under Lachi's command. In the battle of Quanzhou, his 8,000 soldiers
The elite lost more than 2,000 people, and about 3,000 troops were sent to Dadaocheng. In fact, the only elite under his command was Lachi's Tengjia Army. This time he brought more than 20,000 Liuqiu.
Most of the soldiers were pieced together by hunters from various tribes.
The hunters, who had never practiced together at all, were in a panic. How could they clearly see the flag of Shang Dingtian's command? The chaotic Liuqiu soldiers stopped on the spot and looked at their leaders blankly. From the flanks and behind
I don't know how many Han troops were outflanking them. They came overwhelmingly. The waving flags and the shining swords in the sun put huge pressure on Liu Qiu soldiers.
The leaders of each tribe looked at the Han army coming from behind in bewilderment. Only a few of them noticed the flag that Shang Dingtian kept waving.
kill!
Kill forward!
A far-sighted tribal leader raised his machete and shouted loudly. He knew that if he stopped now, he might be surrounded by the Han army. He did not know how many people there were in the Han army, but he knew that he must move towards the Han army.
Breakout at the weakest point!
Compared with the countless Han troops coming from behind and on the flanks, the Han troops with the two small flags in front seemed a bit thin. So after his loud reminder, Liu Qiubing felt that he was forced into a dead end.
He started to speed up again and rushed forward. Seeing that the team finally found the best attack direction, Shang Dingtian's hanging heart was a little relieved. He attacked the two small flags with more than 20,000 troops.
There is no reason why the defensive phalanx cannot open a hole. As long as they rush out and escape into the vast mountains and forests, there is nothing the Han army can do.
"Damn Liu Ling!"
Shang Dingtian gritted his teeth and cursed.
Looking at the flags and the size, the Han army turned out to be no less than 30,000 people! Those so-called large armies that besieged Ye City in several directions were really all a guise, and the Han army actually came out in full force on this road! He was even more angry with his scouts,
Even if the Han army carries the banner of 12,000 men, can't you tell the difference between 30,000 men and 10,000 men?
Shang Dingtian thought that his patience was really good before. Even when he saw his most beloved general La Chi killed in battle, he did not send troops to rescue him just to draw out the main force of the Han army. However, he did not expect the patience of Liu Ling, the king of Han.
It's even better! The small banner of the Han army that was the main attacker before was almost crippled, but he could still endure it!
If you miss one move, you will lose the whole game.
The only plan for now is to rush out and surround them first.
Shang Dingtian wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and ordered to the team following him: "Kill over! Kill through the Han people's defense!"
The 4,000 mountain tribe hunters he personally led roared forward and killed each other, shouting and running. In fact, they were just using their roars to suppress the fear in their hearts. Sometimes a loud shout can really calm down.
Pressure. Under the leadership of more than a dozen tribal leaders, four thousand soldiers rushed towards the two defensive phalanxes!
"Archer, throw! Release!"
Du Si, who was standing in front of the two small flags, gave the order almost simultaneously. Hundreds of archers immediately loosened their bowstrings and sent out the wolf-fang arrows. Hundreds of feather arrows dragged a black shadow on the ground, covering Chao Liu Qiu Bing.
Going down, when the black shadow on the ground reached Liu Qiubing's feet, the arrows in mid-air pierced into Liu Qiubing's body.
The first round of arrow rain knocked down more than a hundred Liuqiu soldiers rushing in front, and the Liuqiu soldiers' offensive formation was severely torn off a layer. The Liuqiu soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows wailed and asked Paoze to save themselves.
, but the soldiers who were pushed by their companions behind them couldn't hold their feet back at all. At least two dozen Liuqiu soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows were trampled to death by Paoze who came up from behind!
"Archer! Shoot! Release!"
The two captains gave the order again, and hundreds of feather arrows were directed at an area. The dense feather arrows formed a huge iron fist in mid-air, and hit the Liuqiu soldiers hard. The iron fist
The place where it was hit immediately became empty, as if someone had poked a hole in a large piece of foam with their fingers. Under the supervision of the leaders of each tribe, Liuqiu soldiers screamed and howled to encourage themselves and moved forward with all their might.
run.
The distance between the two sides was quickly shortened, and the soldiers could already see the enemy's face clearly from a distance.
"Archer, diffuse! Release!"
The third round of feather arrows roared out again, knocking down the Liuqiu soldiers at the front like wheat. After three rounds of volleys, the distance between Liuqiu soldiers and the Han army was no longer sixty steps.
Under the command of Du Si, the Han army's archers quickly retreated to the back of the phalanx under the cover of the shield bearers. The shield bearers blocked the scattered arrows shot by Liu Qiu soldiers as they ran, and the distance between the two sides was only
When they were thirty steps away, they immediately squatted down and propped their shields diagonally on the ground. The long-armed man behind them quickly ran over and placed the more than ten-foot long arm on the shield, pointing forward diagonally.
.
Suddenly, the Han army's defensive formation turned into a hedgehog with sharp thorns.
Liu Qiu Bing, who was unable to close his feet, crashed hard into the sharp edge. The three-foot-long sharp edge easily penetrated the body they had hit. Liu Qiu Bing all dared to fight.
They killed the barbarians, but they were helpless in the face of the unstoppable formation. The squeeze from behind kept pushing the Liuqiu soldiers in front forward, and then more and more people were stabbed to death by the long spears.
"Don't be afraid! They are few! We have more than 20,000 people, and the Han people only have 4,000! Press forward! Press forward! Crush them!"
Shang Dingtian roared loudly, and then ordered the supervising team to mercilessly kill the soldiers who retreated in fear of the battle.
Relying on their flesh and blood, Liu Qiu Bing forcefully squeezed the Han army's phalanx and slowly collapsed it. The first two rows of shield formations could no longer stop Liu Qiu Bing's crazy squeeze, and the shield bearers without weapons
Many people were killed by Liuqiu soldiers' machetes. Seeing that the defensive formation was showing signs of collapse, the two captains loudly ordered the shield men to retreat and the sword men to attack.
The Han army holding the Pu sword removed the robes in front layer by layer, and then used the Pu sword to block the swarming Liuqiu soldiers. At this time, the Han army coming from behind had already bit Liu Qiu.
The rear group of the soldiers, about 3,000 Liuqiu soldiers, were abandoned and used as sandbags to block the torrent of Han troops. Nearly 20,000 Liuqiu soldiers swarmed forward, trying to grind the Han troops blocking the front into powder.
The hundreds of swordsmen of the Han army were gradually unable to withstand the life-threatening impact of Liu Qiu Bing. Seeing the casualties of his team growing more and more, the two captains exchanged glances and then nodded at the same time, and then
They loudly ordered the team to make way for a gap.
Liu Qiubing, who was pressing forward frantically, suddenly felt that the pressure in front was gone. Then they discovered that the Han army had taken the initiative to make way for a gap more than 20 paces wide. Seeing the opportunity coming, Shang Dingtian loudly ordered the soldiers to clear the gap.
Tear it wider. Just when Liu Qiubing saw the hope of escape and they rushed through the opening, suddenly a dazzling light dazzled them so much that they couldn't even open their eyes!
It was the dazzling light refracted by the metal reflecting the sun, and it was the cold killing intent emanating from the Mo Dao.
There is no doubt that Liuqiu Ren was fooled again.
What resisted the fierce attack of Liuqiu soldiers in front was not two complete small flags, but one and a half! The defense composed of three thousand people opened a gap not to release those wild wolf-like Liuqiu soldiers, but to prepare for the rear.
A thousand heavily armored lions moved out of the way.
Situ Zhengcheng strode down, holding Mo Dao in one hand and pointing forward: "Kang Tu! Move forward!"
A thousand Han soldiers in heavy armor slaughtered each other wildly, marching neatly through the gap. Situ Zhengcheng walked at the front of the queue, and the heavy Mo Dao in his hand seemed to be unable to bear the bloodthirsty desire and gently moved
Let out a groan.
Crazy slaughter of heavy armor, invincible in foot combat!
It was like a harvester running through the golden wheat fields, crushing the wheat straws without any suspense! This time Liu Qiubing felt the helplessness of the Han army when they suddenly encountered the Tengjia army. Their machetes simply broke
Without the defense of the heavy armor, the scattered arrows would only scratch out a spark on the heavy armor, but the heavy Mo Dao weighing dozens of kilograms in the hands of the Han army's heavy armor could easily hit it
Split them open!
Thousands of Kuangtu came towards us. They were neat and cold, and forcefully pushed back the 20,000 Liuqiu soldiers!
Blood dyed the road under Kuang Tu’s feet red. (To be continued)
