The Heyang army plus the Hundred Battles Army itself has less than 6,000 people, and a part of it has to be divided to guard the city, and Mengzhou is newly surrendered, and Li Congjing cannot lose his back to the Heyang Army, so that the Hundred Battles Army will go out of the city too much, which will reduce the military strength even more.

Outside the city of Mengzhou, Li Congjing's army formation was only 4,000 people.

And behind Dai Siyuan, there were 7,000 Liang troops.

So when Dai Siyuan saw that Li Congjing dared to order the Tang army to attack in a phalanx, he had to be angry, and at the same time sneered at Li Congjing for being brainless.

"Phalanx, attack!" Dai Siyuan proudly ordered.

His determination to fight Li Congjing outside Mengzhou City was definitely not an act of will.

Although the Northern Expedition has been defeated repeatedly, Dai Siyuan really wants to take a bad breath, although he killed back to Mengzhou before, Dai Siyuan does want to take revenge, but this is not the point, the point is that he doesn't want to admit defeat. Taking a step back, even if he admits defeat, in order to return to the DPRK to give a good explanation, he wants to win a battle before retreating.

There is no vanity under the fame, Dai Siyuan is a famous general of the Liang Dynasty, and he has his own eyesight, he has already seen that the Tang Army is not unbreakable. Not to mention that Li Congjing has few people who can be used in battle battles, the Hundred Battles Army and the Heyang Army have never cooperated before, and the two armies have turned enemies into friends, how strong can the ability to fight together?

Although the Liang army was defeated, but the mourning soldiers will win, if the Liang army does not overcome this battle, only to return to the dynasty as a defeated army, which sergeant is willing to do this? And the current battle with Li Congjing is the only chance for the Liang army to turn defeat into victory, who dares not to fight hard?

Therefore, Dai Siyuan believes that it is warlike.

And once the Tang army is defeated in the battle, the Liang army will be able to bite the defeated Tang army to attack the city of Mengzhou, and it is also very promising to seize the city.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield, until the last moment, everything is variable, do not abandon or give up, fight to the end, it is possible to embrace victory.

Battle after battle, the art of war is constant. Outside the city of Mengzhou, whether it was the Tang army or the Liang army, the huge phalanx was like a steel plate, moving towards each other from the east and west, and then colliding together. The infantry formation is not as strong as the cavalry formation, and the impact is not so explosive, but as soon as the two armies come into contact, the intensity of the battle on one line is more than that.

The two armies intersected, first of all, the fierce collision of the two rows of shields in the forward, in the rumbling impact, without waiting for the shield bearers in the front row to stabilize their positions, the spearmen in the back row leaned over and poked out their spears, stabbing the legs of the opposing sergeant from the gap, and in the screams, the shield bearers immediately fell, and at this time, the short blades in the hands of the shield players also stabbed at the other party, this blow, whoever is fast can kill the other party.

After the two advancing phalanxes were slowed down by the collision, the archers in the array drew their bows and arrows, and clusters of iron arrows were thrown into the opposing formation, either landing on the opponent's raised shields, or shooting at the sergeants who were not covered by the shields, causing immediate casualties.

Li Congjing had already left the military formation and returned to the city of Mengzhou. Infantry soldiers rush into battle, the role of personal force is almost zero, and it is the right thing to command from a high place. Behind the female wall at the head of the city, overlooking it, Li Congjing could clearly see the situation of the entire battlefield.

The two armies are in battle, the front battle is the most tragic, the two sides have broken into the opponent's formation, the hand-to-hand combat is the most shocking, and the scene of flesh and blood is terrifying. In the middle formation, the archers were still releasing their arrows, and the sharp arrows in mid-air formed a curtain and fell into the opponent's formation. And in the rear, the soldiers are ready to go.

This kind of battle, there is no tricks and calculations at all, the fight is the dignified combat power, whose army is strong, can defeat the enemy's military formation, who can win, if the combat power is equal, then fight the number of people, who has more people will win.

The battle became incredibly simple and brutal at this moment.

Li Congjing took the Hundred Battles Army as the front and the Heyang Army as the rear formation, and arranged the infantry phalanx sequence. The cavalry cruising on both wings also fought with each other, but it could be seen that the cavalry was only seeking balance, and neither side really had any strength.

"The Art of War: Don't Hit the Array. At present, the two armies are in strict formation, but they are still fighting to the death with each other, and the words of the art of war and the words in the book seem to be untrustworthy. Li Youcai had already been shocked by the scene in front of him, although he was not a person who had never seen war, but he rarely saw such a fierce battle.

Li Congjing didn't look back, still looking at the battlefield, and said casually when he heard the words: "The words in the book have context, and they are taken out of context, how can you understand the essence of the art of war?" Don't hit the big guys, but it doesn't mean the current situation. ”

Li Youcai was speechless, Li Congjing's merciless criticism made him unable to answer, he suddenly woke up, it seems that this military marshal does not like civilian officials to talk about meddling in the military - you have to pay attention to this in the future, don't make taboos again.

At this time, the platoon envoy came to report: "Marshal, the Liang army has changed formation, the cavalry has exerted force, and the infantry army has divided one part from each of the two wings, intending to break into our army's formation!" ”

Li Congjing had also noticed this situation, and he expected it when Liang Jun's strength changed suddenly. On the battlefield in front of him, the Liang army's infantry army array divided into two tributaries, and he could see it clearly.

It seems that Dai Siyuan wants to rely on the large number of people and exert force on three sides to break through the Tang army's military formation.

"Command: Glaive Array!" Li Congjing said in a deep voice.

The glaive formation, one of the most commonly used military formations, relies on the mountains, rivers or cities in the rear, arranged in a moon shape, thick in the middle, and the two wings also have good defensive power, it is a typical defensive formation, in fact, it can be attacked and defended.

The Hundred Battle Army and the Heyang Army were not combined, and complex formations could not be made, and the Glaive Formation was one of the few military formations that were simple and easy to operate and could be quickly formed.

The Tang army was in front of the Hundred Battles Army, and the Hundred Battles Army moved quickly without any gaps when it changed formations, and did not give the Liang Army a chance to take advantage of it.

The fighting surface changed from a straight line to an arc, which undoubtedly expanded a lot, and the casualties increased rapidly.

"The combat strength of the two armies is equal, and the Liang army has the advantage in numbers, and the fighting area is expanding, if this continues, we can't afford to consume, once the casualties exceed a certain number, the army will collapse!" The formation made a sweaty face, and he reminded Li Congjing, "Please also ask the commander to decide!" ”

From the moment he decided to fight with Dai Siyuan, this situation was expected by Li Congjing, he took his hand and said quietly: "Reinforcements will arrive immediately, no need to panic." ”

"Reinforcements?" The formation surprised me.

Li Congjing was telling the truth, the reason why he dared to fight with Dai Siyuan was because the five thousand new soldiers led by Peng Zushan were not far from Mengzhou. Originally, he planned to pursue Dai Siyuan after Peng Zushan's reinforcements arrived, and take it down in one fell swoop, after all, he didn't plan to let Liang Jun go, and the prisoners he could catch were his military strength after digestion, so he naturally wanted to catch more.

But he didn't expect Dai Siyuan to be defeated instead of defeating, but to turn back and kill back, so he simply chose the battlefield outside Mengzhou City.

Now, what Li Congjing has to do is to ensure that the army will not collapse before Peng Zushan arrives. And as long as the army bites the Liang army, when Peng Zushan's reinforcements arrive, the Liang army will not be able to escape.

"The military marshal told Dai Siyuan before that he was not interested in winning, it turned out to be a word to confuse the enemy." Li Youcai reacted, and finally understood Li Congjing's plan, and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Congjing said coldly: "If the enemy's words are spoken, can they also be believed?" ”

Riding into the city from another city gate, he hurriedly ran to Li Congjing's side, and reported: "Marshal Qiqi, General Peng encountered a group of Liang troops on the way here, and is now fighting fiercely!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of the array envoy and Li Youcai changed.

The fact that reinforcements could not arrive in time meant nothing more than what it meant for the current situation of the war.

"Where did Liang Jun appear?" Li Congjing did not move like a mountain and asked indifferently.

"The direction of Yangba and Jianshanzhai." Come humanely.

Li Congjing smiled lightly, "I underestimated Dai Siyuan, there shouldn't be many defenders left in these two cities, and he dared to send out reinforcements to intercept and kill me, it's really courageous!" It seems that he was still prepared before he captured Jian Shanzhai and came to Mengzhou, so it is no wonder that he dared to fight with me here at this time. ”

"Marshal, the reinforcements can't arrive in time, what should I do?" The formation was in a hurry.

Li Congjing waved his hand, his eyes and face did not change, and he said two words, "Don't worry." ”

Li Congjing was not in a hurry, but the envoy was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious for a long time, seeing that Li Congjing was confident, he thought that he had his own plan, laughed at himself, and secretly said that there was a military commander here, why worry.

If there was a cigarette, Li Congjing would definitely smoke one at this time, but there was no, so the tension in his heart could not be relieved, so he could only go to count the heads of the army outside the city to distract him and prevent his worries from disturbing his mind.

In fact, at this time, he didn't have a score in his heart.

People are not as good as heaven, how can everything be under control.

"Pass the order, you go yourself." Seeing that there were signs of loosening of the military formation outside the city, Li Congjing said to the platoon envoy: "The positions of all the military formations are all nailed to me by the commanders, if you take half a step back, you will be killed!" ”

The formation made a look grim, and hurried to give the order.

After the order was issued, the loose departments gradually stabilized their positions, and the Glaive Array was still the Glaive Array.

However, Li Congjing knew in his heart that such a military order could only have a temporary effect and could not change the situation on the battlefield. He raised his eyes to look at Dai Siyuan's position, and could only clearly see Dai Siyuan's figure, but he couldn't see his demeanor, but Li Congjing seemed to see his expression of victory.

"It's not that easy to win me." Li Congjing secretly sneered.

The battle continued, one sergeant after another was falling, and the blood gradually stained the red loess and the corpses on the line of the fierce battle between the two armies, and on the basis of these scenes, the advance of one army's formation and the retreat of the other's army's formation.

Can't sit back and wait, Li Congjing told himself. This battle was due to his lack of heart and wanted to swallow more of the Liang army, but this was also his established policy against the enemy, the defeat of the battlefield was a mistake in command and scheduling, and the purpose and original intention of the battle did not lead to victory or defeat.

"Give Meng San an order, let him exert his strength, and break into the Liang army's formation!" Li Congjing said suddenly.

"That's a lonely one!" The line-up that had just returned from the order was shocked.

"Change the Glaive Formation into a Sharp Arrow Formation, and break through the Liang Army Formation!" Li Congjing's expression was resolute, and his tone was even more unquestionable, "Make it clear to Meng San, I want him to tear apart the Liang army's big array, in this battle, there is advance but no retreat, there is death and no life!" ”
