Chapter 269: Looking at Wancheng from afar

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Deng Yu and Xu Xiling walked over, and when they came to Liu Xiu, they whispered: "Lord! ”

Liu Xiu came back to her senses, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Deng Yu said: "The general is looking for you to go back and discuss how to attack Wancheng next." ”

Liu Xiu sighed, nodded, raised his eyes and looked around for a week, then turned around and walked towards the military camp where Xiao Chang'an gathered.

The barracks of the Zhutian Army, the Chinese military tent.

At this time, not only Liu Xuan and the generals of the Zhutiandu Department were there, but also a lot of generals from the Green Forest Army came, including Liu Xuan, who had just been promoted to general.

The two sides gathered together to discuss how to attack Wancheng.

According to Wang Kuang's meaning, his own side attacked Wancheng, and continued to use the original tactics and attacked in three ways. The Zhutian army fought the southern city of Wancheng, the Pinglin army attacked the east city of Wancheng, and the Xinshi army attacked the west city of Wancheng.

However, this time, the generals of the Pillar Heavenly Army did not agree to such an arrangement.

Your own troops are the least, and Wancheng's Nancheng city defense is the strongest, so arrange your own side to fight Nancheng, isn't this a bully?

The two sides argued over who would attack the southern city and who would attack the east and west cities, and they all quarreled so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick.

Alas! Seeing this, Liu Xiu sighed secretly. He was on the side of the Zhu Tianjun and sat down at random. Liu Xiu looked at Liu Xiu and suddenly asked, "Ah Xiu, what do you think?" ”

With Liu Xiu's questioning, the arguing crowd stopped one after another, and people's eyes focused on Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "The southern city of Wancheng is the most fortified, no matter who fights, it is to hit the stone with an egg, according to my opinion, we can make the illusion of storming the southern city, in order to contain the defenders in the city, and our main force should be released."

On both sides of the attack on the east and west cities! ”

The implication is that if the Green Forest Army insists on attacking the southern city, it is not impossible, but it will not go all out, let alone fight with the reckless army, and will only make a show and make a feint.

Hearing his words, Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and other generals of the Green Forest Army all frowned, and their faces sank.

Without waiting for someone from the Green Forest Army to speak, Liu Xiu continued: "Our army only has a few thousand people, and there are more than 10,000 people under the command of General Wang and General Chen. ”

His words stopped Wang Kuang and Chen Mu. Nancheng is facing Jianyang, which is the strongest defense of the city and the largest number of defenders, and its own 10,000 or so people go to attack Nancheng, even if they use the strength to eat, they are also hitting stones with eggs. Seeing that neither of them answered, Liu Xiu smiled and said: "General Wang and General Chen each have more than 10,000 people under their commands, and they don't dare to attack Nancheng, let alone the certainty of attacking Nancheng, but they handed over this task to the Zhutian Army, which has only a few thousand people.

This is too much to say, right? ”

Liu Xiu's words were made sense, and the Green Forest Army, which was messing around, was all speechless.

After holding back for a long time, Chen Mufang said: "It is precisely because the enemy army has the largest number of troops in the southern city and the east and west cities are relatively weak, that we need to put the main forces into the battlefield of the east and west cities!" "Therefore, the Pinglin army can attack the east city, the Xinshi army can also attack the west city, and my Zhutian army can even attack the south city, but there is one thing I must make clear in advance, the Zhutian army is only responsible for feints and as many defenders in the city as possible, if."

General Wang and General Chen still hoped that our army would be able to break through Nancheng, which would be too much to overestimate the strength of our army. ”

Wang Kuang and Chen Mu glanced at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

The Zhutian Army went to fight the most difficult Nancheng, but it was only a feint, and it only took a few pretentious jumps on the battlefield, but his own side had to fight with the defenders with real swords and real guns, and the advantage of the Zhutian Army was too great, right?

Wang Kuang and Chen Mu lowered their heads, and neither of them spoke.

Liu Xiu also frowned and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and others were in a bad mood, and Liu Xiu's mood was not much better.

Fighting with the Green Forest Army is really too awkward, intriguing, calculating. Moreover, Liu Xiu was very skeptical that his side would have a chance to attack Wancheng.

You must know that there are 100,000 troops in Wancheng City, and there are only nearly 40,000 people when you are full.

The difference in the strength of the two sides is more than doubled, if the 100,000 army is suppressed in Wancheng City by its own 40,000 people, and is forced to defend the city, I am afraid that Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci will not be able to explain to Wang Mang.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci may not give their own side the opportunity to attack the city, and when their own troops come to the city, the most likely response strategy of the Mang army is to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack.

At the end of the meeting, Wang Kuang and Chen Mu reluctantly accepted Liu Xiu's tactics, and the Zhutian army feint to attack the southern city, and the two armies of Pinglin and Xinshi attacked the east and west cities respectively.

To make a long story short, the next day, the Zhutian Army and the Green Forest Army set up camp and went straight to Wancheng.

Liu Xiu, who grew up quickly on the battlefield, is indeed very good at using soldiers and figuring out the other party's thoughts.

When the Pillar Heavenly Army and the Green Forest Army set out to be five miles away from Wancheng, the southern city side of Wancheng opened, and countless reckless troops poured out of it.

This time, the Mang army can be said to have poured out, and like the Zhutian Army and the Green Forest Army, the army of 100,000 was divided into three teams.

There were more than 30,000 people in the Chinese army, commanded by Zhen Fu himself, more than 30,000 people in the left army, commanded by Liang Qiuci, and more than 30,000 people in the right army, commanded by Cen Peng.

The three-way army, totaling nearly 100,000 people, poured out from Wancheng City.

The reckless army that went out of the city first had lined up the battle phalanx, and as far as the eye could see, the black pressure was overwhelming, overwhelming, and boundless, and at the same time, there were still reckless troops running out of the city gate.

This time, there was no fog to block the view, and the scale of the 100,000 army was completely displayed on the plain outside Wancheng City.

There are more than 100,000 people, and in fact, this is indeed the case.

Standing in front of the formation of 100,000 troops, raising his eyes and looking back, he couldn't see the end of the formation at all, and everywhere he looked, there were all reckless generals.

The flag is unfurled, the embroidered belt is fluttering, the helmet is bright, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

The plains outside the southern city of Wancheng were completely submerged by the boundless sea of people.

Seeing this scene, not to mention that the Pillar Heavenly Army was half cold, even the Green Forest Army, which was overwhelmed, was frightened.

Many of the soldiers couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands steadily, their faces were full of horror, and their feet did not obey the command and stepped back.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Fighting a war is about morale! As a result, the two sides are still at war now, and the Mang army is just showing its face, and the Green Forest Army has no morale. People's eyes widened, and their faces were frightened and panicked.

Zhen Fu, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't see the specific situation of the Zhutian Army and the Green Forest Army on the other side, but the strength of both sides was already on the surface, and the difference in scale was too great.

Zhen Fu sneered, turned his head sideways and said, "Order, beat the drum!" ”

With his order, more than a dozen strong men with naked bodies and big shoulders and round waists, carrying drumsticks, walked up to the giant drum on one side, and smashed the drumsticks on the drum surface with all their strength.

Boom!

Knock, knock, knock!

The drums beat like thunder. With the sound of drums, an army of 100,000 shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

With a burst of shouts of killing, the phalanx of the Mang army began to move forward.

The heralds around Liu Jiu were already ready to go, and they just waited for Liu Jiu to give an order, so that they could convey the order as soon as possible.

Listening to the shouting and killing sound accompanied by the beat of the drums, and looking at the overwhelming reckless military formation on the opposite side, Liu Xuan took a deep breath, at this point, there was no other choice but to fight to the death!

Making a decision in his heart, Liu Xuan drew the saber under his ribs, swung it forward, and shouted: "The whole army meets the enemy!" ”

As soon as he spoke, more than a dozen heralds gathered around him flicked their horsewhips one after another, scattered in all directions, and urged their horses to gallop wildly, shouting repeatedly: "The general has an order, and the whole army will meet the enemy!" The general has an order, and the whole army meets the enemy! ”

At the same time, the Lingqi soldiers also continued to shake the Lingqi, played the flag, and sent orders to the whole army to meet the Mangjun army.

Seeing the command of the Lingqi and the roar of the commanders, the various divisions of the Zhutian Army also began to march forward.

The battle formations of the two sides went in opposite directions, and soon came into contact.

At the moment of contact, the sound of shields colliding with shields, the muffled sound of spears piercing armor and human bodies were almost connected.

When fighting in a large army, the emphasis is on formation, and there is no swarm rushing forward and fighting indiscriminately. Only a rabble who can't fight would do this, and in front of other people's battle formations, it would be a life that was purely crushed.

The Zhutian Army is already a veteran of combat experience, so why not the Jingshi Army?

So the confrontation between them is really a confrontation between the tip of the needle against Maimang.

At the beginning of the battle, it was impossible to see who had the advantage and who was at a disadvantage, and after the soldiers in front were stabbed down by the enemy's spears, the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to fill their positions and keep their own formations intact.

The advantage of the Jingshi army is that there are many people, while the advantage of the Zhutian army is that there are many fierce generals. In the battle, fierce generals like Liu Ji, Ma Wu, Cho Period, Gai Yan, and Zang Gong all rushed to the front.

Even Liu Xiu took the lead and pushed forward again and again.

Just when the soldiers of the Zhutian Army were fighting bloodily and were inseparable from the reckless army on the opposite side, all of a sudden, they listened to the sound of gongs behind their own side.

Drumming marched, and Mingjin collected the troops. This is a military term that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Liu Xiu, Liu Ji, Ma Wu and others, who had already killed their eyes, heard the sound of Mingjin coming from behind them, and they couldn't react for a while.

There is a huge disparity between your own strength and the reckless army, but in the battle, your own side is not at a disadvantage, so why should you retreat?

As long as the gong sounds, whether you are willing or unwilling, you must retreat, otherwise you will disobey the military order.

What's worse is that now that the battle between the two sides is in full swing, how can it be so easy to retreat?

Liu Xiu held the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and continuously slashed and killed several reckless soldiers on the opposite side, and then turned his head and shouted: "Zizhang! ”

I only heard a series of screams from the crowd of reckless soldiers beside Liu Xiu, and then a bloody man was killed from the crowd. If the bloody man wasn't holding a nine-eared and eight-ring knife, Liu Xiu couldn't bear to tell that he was Ma Wu.

Liu Xiu shouted: "Zizhang, immediately transfer the cavalry to cut off!" Ma Wu grinned, stomped his feet hard, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Order!" As he spoke, he ran straight to the rear of his camp.
