Tang Yin nodded in understanding. The troops on Yinli's side were less than 40,000. It would be difficult to compete with the Sichuan army, which numbered close to 100,000. He said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, General Meng, go quickly!"
Meng Xiong responded, bowed his hand to Tang Yin, and then led the Zhen army to quickly leave the city.
Groups of Zhen troops left Qijia City and headed straight for the main battlefield more than 20 miles away. At this time, the Zhen troops led by Yin Li had launched a full-scale confrontation with the Sichuan troops led by Chen Lihua. This was an endless battle.
Any opportunistic frontal fight.
As soon as the battle began, Chen Lihua realized that something was not right with the rebels. Compared with the rebels in the battle on Wangxi Plain, the rebels in front of her were much smaller in strength, but they already knew how to use formations, and they
The formation used is also very strange.
Different from the regular formation, the rebels are in groups of several people, and there will be a little distance between each group, but the distance is not large and they can take care of each other.
This formation is somewhat similar to the fish scale formation, but it is not the same. It can be said that it is completely designed according to Zhenren's characteristics.
Zhenren's battles have always focused on rushing and striking. If they position themselves closely according to the regular formation, it will inevitably greatly restrict the performance of Zhenren's individual combat power. However, the formation used by Zhenren now takes into account the overall coordination.
, and it can also maximize personal combat effectiveness, so that the overall combat effectiveness of Zhenjun can be improved to a higher level than before.
Chen Lihua originally thought that 90,000 vs. 40,000 would be a sure win and a quick battle. However, after the soldiers from both sides fought, he realized that the battle was not as simple as he imagined. The rebels on the opposite side were no longer the ones he knew.
That rebel army, let alone a quick victory, even if it becomes a tug-of-war, it is still unclear whether our side can win in the end!
"General Chen!" Gao Peng said in surprise while watching the battle ahead: "Are the rebels using a formation now?"
Chen Lihua murmured: "It should be."
"I beg your pardon for my poor eyesight, but I have never seen such a weird formation either in military books or in front of the two armies' formations!" Gao Peng frowned and said in confusion.
His words immediately resonated with the other two generals. Feng Yu and Chai Song also nodded repeatedly and responded: "Yes, General Gao is right. The formation used by the rebels is indeed weird. It looks like a formation but not a formation."
The formation looks like a chaotic battle but is not a chaotic battle, I can’t understand it!”
"Soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent. The formation that can win the battle is a good formation!" Chen Lihua took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice: "It seems that there are capable people within the rebels giving guidance. This battle... I'm afraid it will be...
It’s going to be difficult!”
As he was talking, suddenly, there was a chaos in the Sichuan Army's rear army. Chen Lihua and others were about to send people to the rear army to see what was going on. A Sichuan soldier ran over first and said urgently: "Report to the general.
Something bad happened, the rebels suddenly came to kill us behind our army!"
"Ah?" After hearing this, the expressions of Chen Lihua, Gao Peng, Feng Yu, and Chai Song suddenly changed. Could it be that, as Yin Li said, there was an ambush hidden in Qijia City and they have come to kill them?
Before Chen Lihua could ask, Gao Peng shouted urgently: "Where did the rebels come from? How many troops are there?"
"Report...report to General Gao, the rebels seem to be coming from the direction of Qijia City. As for the strength of the rebels...the rebels have so many troops that we can't see the margins and can't count them!" the soldier who reported the news stammered and trembled.
Oops! After listening to what the soldiers said, the four generals Chen Lihua secretly thought in unison: Oops! It seems that the rebels are not trying to be mysterious, but they have indeed laid a heavy ambush in Qijia City. There is just one thing that they can't figure out.
Where did they get so many troops? The rebels also divided their troops to garrison in various places. We divided our troops to attack and captured so many places. Logically speaking, we should have annihilated a lot of rebels. How could the rebels kill more and more people?
Chai Song said anxiously to Chen Lihua: "General Chen, it seems that the two regiments of our army stationed in Qijia City are in danger. Now the rebels are attacking from behind our army, and they are attacked from both sides. This battle can no longer be fought.
You have to retreat quickly!"
Feng Yu shook his head and said: "No, our army must not retreat now. We finally pushed the rebels to a dead end and launched a decisive battle. If we retreat now, how can we give the rebels a chance to breathe?"
"But if we don't retreat at this time, the rebels will attack us from both sides, and our army is in danger of being annihilated!"
"I don't believe that the rebels have so many troops and can kill all the soldiers of our two regiments left in Qijia City in such a short period of time. Maybe the rebels didn't come from Qijia City at all.
, if we retreat now, none of the 20,000 brothers left behind in Qijia City will survive!"
"In order to rescue 20,000 soldiers, do you have to risk the lives of all the soldiers in the army?"
Chai Song and Feng Yu were arguing. Gao Peng had no idea now. He turned to look at Chen Lihua and whispered: "General Chen, you have to make up your mind quickly. Should our army withdraw or fight now?"
"This... let me think about it again!" Chen Lihua's eyes kept rolling, and she knew what to do for a moment. You must know that he was commanding four legions to encircle and suppress the rebels. If he was repulsed by the rebels,
He never thought of raising his head again in this life, but judging from the current battle situation, the whole army was in danger of being annihilated in a deadly battle. After thinking about it, he finally made a cruel move, gritted his teeth, and was about to order the withdrawal of troops, when Feng Yu said first: "Chen
General, you give me 20,000 soldiers and horses. I am willing to lead 20,000 soldiers to fight the rebels in the rear. I want to see whether these rebels fell from the sky or jumped out of the cracks in the rocks!
"
"this……"
"If my majestic Dachuan Central Army is defeated by a mere rebel and flees back, you can be embarrassed, but I cannot afford to be embarrassed. If you want to withdraw, you must withdraw yourself. I swear to fight the rebels bloody to the end!
"Feng Yu was anxious and angry, his face was red, his ears were red, and his beard and hair were flaring.
What he said was exactly what Chen Lihua was worried about. He pondered for a while, nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, General Feng, I will give you 30,000 soldiers. If there are too many enemy troops from behind, it will be difficult for you to do so."
Resist, retreat immediately, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood. Even if we are defeated this time, we can still gather forces from all over the place, regroup, and fight the rebels again! Taking a step back, we can still wait for Lu You
The general's reinforcements have arrived, join forces together, and then fight the rebels to the death!"
"Haha——" Feng Yu laughed and said proudly: "There is nothing to fear from the mere rebels. I will kill all the rebels this time and avoid future troubles forever!"
Being attacked from both sides and unwilling to retreat, Chen Lihua accepted Feng Yu's invitation and gave him 30,000 Sichuan troops to go to the rear to fight the incoming Zhen army.
The Zhen army who came from Qijia City also made a fatal mistake. They did not come together in formation, but in batches.
Worried that Yinli could not stop the main force of the Sichuan army, the Zhenjun in Qijia City were also in a hurry. After a large number of Zhenjun left the city, they did not wait for the people behind to leave the city.
Running on this side of the battlefield.
As a result, before they had time to assemble, they came face to face with Feng Yu, who took the initiative to kill them.
Looking at the sparse Zhen army on the opposite side, Feng Yu smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears. Is this the so-called rebel ambush? One hundred thousand people? It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. If one's own side is defeated by such a ragtag group of people,
Anyone who scares away will lose face in Sichuan.
He immediately ordered the entire army to line up, with the archers pushing forward to shoot all the enemies in front.
Under the arrow array of the Sichuan Army, a group of Zhen soldiers ran over and were shot dead. Not long after, in front of the Sichuan Army camp, the corpses of Zhen soldiers were piled on top of each other, and they were all shot and killed.
How many people were killed.
Seeing the Zhen army advancing one after another and charging towards his own side without any threat, Feng Yu laughed repeatedly. This battle was so easy. He thought that the rebel ambush was so amazing, but it turned out that they were all desperate and mindless.
Reckless man.
Feng Yu was secretly proud in his heart. At this time, Meng Xiong, the leader of the Zhen Army, arrived. Seeing that the Sichuan Army in front was ready, but his own soldiers were still rushing forward like headless flies, he immediately ordered the soldiers in front to
Retreat and assemble the entire army.
Under the command of Meng Xiong, the Zhen army finally stopped their suicidal charge, and people began to gather in formation opposite the Sichuan army.
At the beginning, Zhenjun's camp was only a small one, but as more and more soldiers caught up from the rear, Zhenjun's camp grew bigger and bigger. In the end, the size of its camp even exceeded that of the opposite side.
The Sichuan Army.
It was only then that Feng Yu realized that the number of rebels was much greater than he expected. However, after the scene where the rebels had just rushed to kill them headlessly, he did not pay much attention to the rebels on the opposite side.
Inside, seeing that the rebels had completed their formation, he sneered and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Today's battle is a battle where we will make great achievements. In this battle, we vow to wipe out the rebels and raise our flag."
Our army is mighty! Kill——"
"Kill -" Feng Yu responded to his call, and a cry of kill rang out in the Sichuan army camp. Soon, the archers in the Sichuan army retreated, and the shield hands pushed forward. Then, the entire army formed an array and moved forward.
Seeing that the Sichuan army on the opposite side had already pressed forward, Meng Xiong raised his long sword high and shouted: "Avenge the country, wash away the country's humiliation, kill all the Sichuan thieves, restore our Zhenguo, kill!"
"Kill——" The Zhenjun camp also shouted loudly.
Next came the reverse advance of both camps. During the advance, both sides fired arrows into formations. The sound of arrows breaking through armor was heard one after another in both camps. Soldiers who were advancing were hit by arrows and fell to the ground from time to time.
When the two sides came into contact, the hand-to-hand combat officially began.
On the battlefield, the front troops of both sides were fighting in a bloody battle, and the rear troops were not idle either. They kept firing arrows at the opposite side, with the sound of weapons clashing with each other, the sound of sharp blades breaking armor, the whistling of arrows coming back and forth, and the roars and shouts of people.
The screams have become one continuous sound.
When both sides have equal strength and morale, I am afraid that only individual legions from the Feng Kingdom can compete with the Zhen Army.
At this time, the battle between the two sides was difficult to distinguish at the beginning, but as the battle continued, the Sichuan army gradually began to be unable to hold on.
