The moment the Nanzhao Goddess turned around and left, an idea flashed through Lin Ze's mind: Let the four elders of Fang Xiandao join forces to rush forward and kill her by force, and then restrained themselves. This was not in line with his original intention of training soldiers.
Moreover, this goddess is protected by people from the Buddhist sect. She must be a big shot in Nanzhao, and she may not be easily killed.
Lin Ze said to Han Xin: "Next, I will leave it to you to take command. Young master and I will send people to stop the opponent's martial arts experts. The enemy is outnumbered and we are numerous. The enemy attacks and we defend. This battle can only be won but not defeated."
"
Han Xin replied with a firm face: "Please rest assured, military advisor, Han Xin will fulfill his mission."
Lin Ze then pulled Hu Hai and Ren Xiao aside and said: "Now that people from the Buddhist sect have appeared, the Tianlang Army will inevitably not be able to fight alone for a long time. Please ask General Ren to immediately send someone to Longchuan Hou for support to conquer the Baiyue Mansion in the south."
The army may be moving westward."
Ren Xiao asked doubtfully: "Buddhism is just a sect. Even if it unites with Nanzhao, it won't be able to mobilize troops like this, right?"
Lin Ze said sternly: "General Ren may not know that your Majesty issued a decree the year before last that the Buddha Sect would cause harm to the country and everyone in the country could kill him. If your Majesty is informed that someone from the Buddha Sect appears in Nanzhao, he will definitely order Marquis Longchuan to do so.
Send troops, so it is inevitable that the general will send someone to inform Marquis Longchuan now."
Seeing that Lin Ze was not joking, Ren Xiao summoned a fourth-grade general under his command and asked him to go back immediately and bring the message back to Zhao Tuo.
After handling this matter, Lin Ze looked at Hu Hai again. Hu Hai didn't know what he wanted to say, so he immediately replied: "Lin Ze, stop talking, I will not leave."
Lin Ze was silent for a few seconds: "You don't have to leave if you don't want to, but you can't show your face again until Marquis Longchuan's army arrives."
Hu Hai was unconvinced: "Why? What is there to be afraid of? Aren't there just a few people from the Buddhist sect?"
Lin Zeli ignored him and said to the palace guard commander and master doctor behind Hu Hai: "Once the situation changes, no matter what, please take the young master back to Chang'an immediately."
The commander of the palace guards smiled and said: "Don't worry, little military advisor. It is our duty to protect the young master. Naturally, we will not let the young master be in any danger."
"Woo..." A horn sounded in the distance. Lin Ze turned around and saw countless Nanzhao wearing leather armors rushing over like a tide.
The three rows at the front are Nanzhao natives holding sharp weapons in one hand and wooden shields in the other. The natives in the middle are holding weapons and ladders on their shoulders, and the ones at the back are warriors holding heavy weapons.
Under the leadership of the leader of Tonggu Village, they approached the camp step by step. Every foot of all the natives landed heavily at the same time, causing a slight earthquake.
I saw Han Xin sneer: "Inferior means of encouragement, the first team, the second team and the third team are preparing crossbows, the fourth and fifth teams are preparing for battle, the sixth and seventh teams are resting under the rotation wall, and the eighth team is the reserve team."
When one's side was within range of the Sirius Army, the leader of Tonggu Village shouted: "Kill." The first one speeded up and rushed towards the camp.
Han Xin immediately ordered: "Blow the drums, and fire all the crossbows at the center of the enemy. Release. Change weapons and prepare for close combat."
Qin's strong crossbow can shoot three arrows. As soon as Han Xin fell, the first, second and third teams poured out thousands of arrows. Then, regardless of the outcome of the battle, he dropped the strong crossbow and picked up his own weapons.
Quietly wait for the enemy to charge.
In an instant, hundreds of Nanzhao natives were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The leader of Tonggu Village did not even look at them. He jumped up, raised his mace, and struck hard at the camp gate.
Lin Ze immediately said to Qingfeng: "Elder, stop him."
It was rare that Qingfeng did not rush forward with bare hands, but instead pulled out the long sword from behind. Normally, it was okay to bully those whose martial arts realm was lower than his own. Now, facing those with the same realm, it would be really embarrassing if the boat capsizes in the gutter, no matter how powerful you are without weapons.
Lost it at home.
It was not enough to have the breeze to block the leader of Tonggu Village. Lin Ze asked Jiang Yuesheng and Di Xue Ruyan to block a few of the other nearly twenty mid-level ones, while the others were all handed over to the experts brought by Ren Xiao.
.
Elsewhere, the soldiers of both sides who were below the mid-level also began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Suddenly the advantage of the Heavenly Wolf Army as the defender was revealed. They were condescending and almost suppressed the Nanzhao natives.
Both sides suffered casualties one after another. Some natives were killed by Chang Ge, a soldier of the Sirius Army, and some soldiers of the Sirius Army were caught by Chang Ge and dragged off the camp wall, and were killed by the natives.
From time to time, Nanzhao natives climbed up the camp wall along the ladder and killed several Sirius soldiers before being killed.
Overall, the casualty ratio between the Sirius Army and the Nanzhao natives was about two to five, and the balance of victory was rapidly tilting in the direction of the Sirius Army.
In the jungle, the goddess of Nanzhao and the people of the Buddhist sect have been paying close attention to the battlefield, watching Nanzhao fall into decline little by little.
The goddess of Nanzhao couldn't sit still anymore, appeared on the battlefield, took out an instrument like a xun, puffed up her cheeks and blew it, and a strange melody came out.
The Nanzhao natives suddenly burst out in fighting power as if they had been given a shot of blood, and the casualty ratio was forcibly turned to one to one.
Lin Ze's expression changed and he said to the morning sun: "Two elders, go and stop her."
The two elders of Fang Xiandao immediately jumped up and headed straight towards the Nanzhao Goddess. However, the people from the Buddha Sect immediately stood up and fought with the two elders, but did not let the two elders affect the Nanzhao Goddess.
The speed of the Nanzhao Goddess's blowing of the xun became faster and faster, and the fighting power of the Nanzhao natives continued to explode, almost turning around, overwhelming the Sirius army.
Han Xin's expression remained unchanged and he ordered: "The whole army changes into fish scale formation and uses defense instead of attack."
Soon the scattered Sirius army became tighter and denser in defense. The Nanzhao natives who suddenly exploded in combat effectiveness had some weasels biting the turtles - they had no way of starting.
However, the Nanzhao natives took the opportunity and more people rushed to the camp wall, and the war gradually became stalemate.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Nanzhao natives finally gradually lost their energy after the outbreak, and their combat effectiveness dropped significantly. No matter how much the Nanzhao goddess blew the xun, it was of no avail.
Han Xin quickly grasped the opportunity and ordered: "Beat the drums, the whole army will change into a frontal formation and kill."
After three rounds of drumming, the Sirius army released all the energy they had suppressed before and drove all the Nanzhao natives off the camp wall. In an instant, the Nanzhao natives suffered heavy casualties.
When the goddess of Nanzhao saw this, her face darkened, and she said to the four golden feather warriors around her: "Order the entire army to retreat, and you guys go up and cover."
The four golden-feathered warriors immediately ran forward, blowing the retreat horn, and waited for their own side to retreat before striking the ground violently, hindering the pursuit of the Sirius army.
Han Xin, who wanted to pursue and expand his victory, couldn't help but angrily slapped the camp wall.
In the end, the middle-rank warriors fighting on both sides also retreated. Ren Xiao held two heads of fifth-rank golden feather warriors from Tonggu Village in his hand and threw them to the military recorder to record the military merits.
Then Han Xin ordered that all the remaining soldiers of the five teams participating in the battle should return to the camp to rest and recuperate. The other three teams would go up to the camp wall to defend, assist in cleaning the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and make statistics on the battle.
Soon the battle report of this battle came out. A total of 413 people were killed by the Sirius Army, more than 350 were seriously injured, and more than 600 were slightly injured. The combat strength was directly lost by nearly a quarter.
However, Tonggu Village did not fare well. Nearly 800 people were killed alone. Including those who were injured, half of them were probably disabled.
It was quite tragic for both sides.
What made Lin Ze a little more relieved was that the entire temperament of the Sirius Army had undergone a huge change. War was indeed the best way to train troops.
