"It's Mr. Shen after all." Xiao Shilian also saw clearly Shen Jungao's intentions, "I don't know if this can be considered as exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses."
Hou, standing next to Xiao Shilian, said coldly: "Shen Jungao is stubborn and ineffective, so he should be taught a lesson. He thinks of us too simply."
Originally, Hou thought that he could persuade Yan Guan to surrender, and then take the credit for opening the Lingnan gateway from the army. Who knew that the sudden arrival of Shen Jungao completely disrupted his plan, making Hou wish he could bring his troops along with him? Directly kill Shen Jungao's Chinese army.
But after all, as a civilian official, Hou still whispered: "General, no matter what, we still have to reduce casualties as much as possible."
"Reducing casualties must be done at all times, but this is not a reason for us to shrink from moving forward," Xiao Shilian said lightly. Obviously, he had already made a conclusion in his mind. What Li Xingchen said in Xiangzhou was now reflected in his mind. Echoes echoed in the ears, "This is a war to destroy the country. How can there be no deaths? We have no way to avoid it, we can only reduce it as much as possible, but it is obvious that Shen Jungao and Fu do not intend to give us this opportunity."
After a pause, Xiao Shilian said: "What's more, we will build a country in the future. Our army cannot be an army that has only experienced training but has not been truly tempered by blood and fire. Now is a good opportunity. This sharp sword, Needs polishing.”
Xiao Shilian's voice was calm, but the young Hou couldn't help but change his expression.
At this time, Xiao Shilian said no more, but waved his arms and gave the order.
Li Xun strode forward with his soldiers and horses, and the crossbowmen at the rear also began to shoot arrows. The arrows roared into the Nanchen soldiers who rushed up in disorder. Some people kept falling, but there were no openings for them. People from behind were constantly filling in. For these soldiers, the scene in front of them was definitely something they had never imagined before. However, it was better to rush forward than to die inexplicably under the sword of the supervising team behind them.
At least the enemy array in front looks very thin.
"Change!" Li Xun ordered in a deep voice. After fighting on the battlefield for such a long time, he actually didn't have much interest in such a mob. Such a battle could be easily solved by Luo Yi, but after all, this was theirs. In the first battle of a surrendered army from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Xun had to ensure that there were no mistakes at all.
The originally slender formation changed again, and it turned out to be a smaller crescent formation. As the forward, Luo Yi led his soldiers and horses directly back to the side and front of the Nanchen army in front of him, and then plunged in!
This array, which was stretched across the entire front and seemed a little thin, instead of retreating, accelerated forward. Although the Nanchen soldiers who were swarming towards them rushed forward desperately, the shield standing in front of them forced them to pause. Footsteps, and the swords, spears and spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields wantonly harvested their lives.
The row behind the more important shield bearers and spearmen is the crossbowmen. They hold powerful crossbows with a short range but great power. When the spearmen complete a kill, they will take a step back, while the crossbowmen will take a step back. Then he took a step forward with his hand and shot the arrow out from the gap in the shield, thereby preventing the Nanchen soldiers behind him from filling this position.
Although this was the first time that Li Xun's troops used this tactic, so it was a bit confusing, but after all, the opponent was just a group of rural soldiers who had not even received training in formation. They looked like farmers when they carried hoes. The Shu Han army was a little panicked.
Their enemies were completely in disarray. A large number of corpses appeared in front of the advancing shields. The Nanchen army finally could not bear the killing.
Of course they could open a gap in the shield's front, but that would also mean that they would have to pay several times or even dozens of times the price.
Li Xun's men were like scimitars, advancing steadily in front of the crowd, cutting flesh and blood layer by layer.
Cold and cruel, but very efficient.
The defeated Nanchen army began to turn around and attack the place where the supervising team was. In their view, they saw thousands or even tens of thousands of killing machines in front of them. On the contrary, the supervising team behind them only had a few hundred people, so they obviously had a greater chance of survival.
.
"Stop them!" Shen Jungao felt his eyes were burning.
However, it was clear that Xiao Shilian did not intend to comply with his wishes. The stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet hit the rear of Nanchen's army, and the supervising troops also began to collapse.
The left wing of Nanchen's army collapsed.
"Chinese Army, make a roundabout way!" Shen Jungao ordered decisively. It was reasonable for these country bumpkins to be unreliable. In Shen Jungao's case, their main role was to test Xiao Shilian's strength and act as a blocker.
But now that the left wing has collapsed, Shen Jungao cannot sit idly by, otherwise it will cause a chain reaction and the entire military formation will collapse. Therefore, Shen Jungao has no choice but to lead the Chinese army directly to attack.
Isn't Li Xun mopping up X's left wing? Then X will simply throw the messy left wing to you. Anyway, Fu's rear army is still behind it. As long as it can hold the bottom, it will be fine. Now X will lead the Chinese army
The Chinese army will directly attack you. As long as the sword is cut in half so that you can't see each other from head to tail, then this battle will be almost over.
At the same time, Shen Jungao also ordered the right wing that was watching the show to follow suit. Although these troops and horses composed of Baiyue were not expected to have much combat power, it was always good to be able to cover Shen Jungao's flank.
Xiao Shilian looked at Shen Jungao's maneuvers and felt helpless: "If Shen Jungao's men are similar to ours, then he might still have a chance in this battle. It's a pity."
While saying this, Xiao Shilian drew out his saber and pointed forward!
The Chinese soldiers who could not wait for a long time roared and charged, and even Tang Xiao, who was responsible for covering, came forward with his troops. At the same time, the naval warships on the water began to turn around, and a large number of stone bullets roared.
Smashed at Shen Jungao's Chinese army.
At this moment, Hou pointed forward in surprise: "General, look behind you!"
I saw that Fu Suo, who originally stepped forward to meet Shen Jungao's defeated troops on the left wing, actually hung up the white flag, and decisively gathered and controlled the defeated troops. Obviously Li Xun, who was chasing him all the way, didn't know what was going on, but he stayed behind.
Yibu contacted Fu Suobu, and he decisively led the remaining troops to turn around and kill Shen Jungao's side and rear!
"Interesting," Xiao Shilian said with a smile, "Now Shen Jungao is the turtle in the urn!"
Shen Jungao obviously also noticed the changes behind him. Seeing Fu's flag disappear, he already realized that something was wrong. It didn't take much to think about it. Fu must have failed to control his subordinates. Now these strict guards have turned against him.
