Yu Cheng, the Zhechong general transformed by Jia Zhengjin, personally led the troops, accompanied by ten lieutenants on horseback. Tens of thousands of legions surrounded the 5,000 Miao reinforcements in Morico, Gaoguo. The shouts of killing shook the sky.
However, the army did not start a war at all, but just surrounded it without giving the other side any chance to break out.
Morico's five thousand soldiers rushed left and right, but were forced back by random arrows several times. They could only fight with the opponent in a stalemate on the river bank.
In the midst of the army, Diao Jun was extremely nervous with a bamboo spear in his hand.
"Everyone, follow me closely and don't fall behind!" Cen Pei spoke softly next to him, "Once the war breaks out, we must unite together to survive!"
"Pego, we are a little scared..." The voices of several soldiers trembled.
"What's so scary about a man?" Cen Pei said, "As long as you follow me closely, you won't die so easily!"
"Brother Pei, since our army has surrounded the enemy and is several times larger than the enemy, why don't we annihilate them in one fell swoop?" a soldier asked softly.
Cen Pei, holding a bamboo spear in hand, replied calmly: "The purpose of attacking the general is to surround the Bashui defenders instead of fighting! Send people to burn the dense forest. There must be enemy troops there. Faced with this situation, the enemy troops will definitely come out of the city to rescue. When the time comes,
Make sure the rear army turns to the front army and attack the enemy's main force!"
"So we are placed in the rear army?" someone exclaimed, "No wonder! I thought we just had to follow the army..."
"How can we withstand the enemy's main force..."
"There will be heavy casualties by then," Cen Pei nodded, "But you have to believe me! As long as you listen to my orders, I will take you home alive!"
"Brother Pei, you don't need to comfort everyone." There was an older man who looked at it and said, "Everyone knows that you are very capable, but if there is a real war, it is impossible to take care of everyone. If you really want to bring everyone home alive, basically
Impossible."
"..." Cen Pei was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then said seriously, "I want you to guarantee that if you follow me, you will at least have a better chance of surviving!"
"We believe this!"
"Then please believe me and follow my orders when the time comes!"
"It's best if the enemy doesn't leave the city, so we don't have to fight so hard!" someone sighed.
"Impossible!" Cen Pei shook his head, "General Zhechong is clearly forcing the opponent. If the reinforcements are defeated, the morale of the defenders will drop rapidly. By then, the defenders' momentum will also be even weaker! Not to mention that our army is generally a forced conquest.
After traveling a long distance, the whole army is exhausted, and the enemy will definitely attack!"
"What if we don't send troops?" Diao Jun couldn't help but ask after listening for so long.
"Then the opponent's two supporting troops will be annihilated, and the entire army will have no morale!"
"So our army will definitely win?" Diao Jun asked in surprise.
"Wrong! If the enemy troops send out troops, and the main force joins the two supporting armies, it is possible that our army can be defeated in one go!" Cen Pei shook his head, "Or, the enemy army can't hold on and let us destroy the two supporting armies. Even if morale is low,
The momentum is insufficient, but with the advantage of the city, it will be difficult for us to invade, and it may even turn into a war of attrition. When the army rations are exhausted, we will have to withdraw our troops!"
"According to what you say, our army will be defeated?"
"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly! No one can tell for sure." Cen Pei said, "In my opinion, General Zhechong is very confident. I am afraid he has been prepared for it! It depends on whether there is a capable person in the enemy army who can see through General Zhechong's plan and make a decision.
Respond correctly!”
"Why do you care about all this? No matter whether we win or lose, we all have to work hard! The only thing we have to consider now is to save our own lives!" the older soldier sighed.
Everyone nodded, feeling depressed.
"Dong! Dong! Dong..." After waiting for a while, the sound of ear-splitting drums suddenly sounded in Bashui City, followed by the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
"Here we come!" Cen Pei's expression changed and he immediately ordered, "Gather and prepare as I said before!"
The surrounding soldiers immediately moved closer, clenching their bamboo spears in their hands, their hearts beating faster.
"Urrr!!" The horn sounded in the military formation, and then the flag bearers began to play flags. Those with high rank in the army passed the order down one level at a time.
"Change the front army into the rear army, the rear army into the front army, and march towards Bashui County!"
"Change the formation of the front army into the rear army, the rear army turns into the front army, and march towards Bashui County..."
The soldiers around Cen Pei all looked at him with admiration. As he said, the army began to turn.
The city gate of Bashui County slowly lowered, and the heavily armed Gaoguo army appeared. Under the leadership of several generals, with the cavalry as the vanguard, they galloped out: "Kill!!"
"Pah! Pah!" The flag bearer in the military formation here waved the flag and directly issued the flag slogan.
"Kill!!" A general immediately galloped into the military formation and ordered the entire army to attack.
"Boom~" The main army of Bashui County rushed out of the city like a flood, their horses' hooves like thunder.
"The infantry formed a formation with their spears raised! Fire bows and arrows!!" As the general's order was passed down, Qi's army also responded and quickly formed a semicircle facing the city gate. The infantry in front raised their spears high to form a dense formation of spears, and the archers in the rear formed a dense formation.
Shoot, the scene is extremely spectacular.
"Kill!!" The Yuanzhou reinforcements on the other side of the dense forest and the Miao County reinforcements on the river bank saw that the main force of Qi State had turned around, leaving only a small number of troops to continue the siege. They immediately understood that the troops in the city were coming to assist, so they launched a strong attack and prepared to merge.
Destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
The battlefield instantly became intense, and the sound of killing was loud.
"Boom~!" The cavalry that rushed out of the Bashui County city acted as the main force. After losing hundreds of cavalry, they quickly broke through the infantry and spear array at the forefront of Qi State.
After all, these are recruited recruits who have not received special training and are cannon fodder.
However, the main force from the rear immediately came to fill in the gap, and they started a bloody battle with each other.
"Poof! Poof..." On the battlefield, countless Gaoguo cavalry shuttled through the Qiguo army formation, their weapons flying up and down, constantly taking lives.
Of course, many cavalrymen were shot down by spears, and the fighting was fierce.
After the cavalry rushed over, the infantry and archer troops in the city rushed out, and finally entered a fierce battle.
As cannon fodder, the forced recruits could only use the wooden weapons in their hands to fight the enemy, resulting in horrific casualties.
Diao Jun waved his bamboo spear in panic on the battlefield, trying his best to follow Cen Pei and the assembled soldiers. He was almost killed several times by the cavalry rushing past, which was quite dangerous.
He didn't dare to kill anyone at first, but soon an enemy rushed towards him. Sharp weapons fell in front of him. At the same time, countless arrows flew over his head, and one of them even scratched his scalp. Diao Jun, who was in a panic state, realized that if he didn't kill someone, he would be killed.
He would be killed, especially when several of his companions who were chatting and laughing before were either beheaded by enemy cavalry or shot to death by arrows, which aroused his bloodlust.
When a Gao soldier who was about the same age as him swung his sword and almost hit his arm, Diao Jun avoided it and thrust out the bamboo spear with all his strength, hitting the opponent's thigh.
The soldier fell to the ground wailing, and was stabbed in the neck by Cen Pei, who was standing next to him.
