Are the Xiang soldiers a soldier? The ability to withstand the constant casualties in the face of the pouring arrows is the resilience of an army. After the two armies hedged against each other, they insisted on biting the enemy in the early stage, which is the ferocity that a force should have. Then, they not only bit the enemy, but also effectively adjusted the formation on the battlefield, which is the battlefield tactics that the elite should have.

Being able to adjust the formation during combat is a watershed between elite and ordinary armies, and you can adjust your position in your favor while fighting, which means that the formation of the army is very perfect. Not only is there a well-established system and a group of qualified officers are serving as tentacle control soldiers, but only soldiers who have been trained for a long time can move under the command of the officer. This can no longer be described as elite, but the elite of the elite.

None of the units in Lu Zhe's army could adjust their formation in an orderly manner according to the combat situation after they were put into battle, and all they could do was to arrange the formation in advance, and after the battle started, they basically could not do any other maneuvers except forward or backward.

Huan Chu came to Ji Bu's side again, and the face of the former Chu State general was now very pale.

With a force of more than 13,000 people, taking so many people to intercept the cavalry that is only less than 400, such an advantage that can be said to be stacked by relying on numbers has not been achieved, Huan Chu has suffered too many blows since the outbreak of the war, what good face can he have, and how can he not be constantly destroyed by confidence and become pale?

Seeing the Chu cavalry destroying the troops supporting the forward, Ji Bu was actually a little panicked. Seeing that the obviously fierce force had already dealt with the thousand spearmen who launched the counter-charge, his heart twitched one by one.

A thousand spearmen, not ten or a hundred, that fierce Chu army took a quarter of an hour to "swallow" the thousand spearmen who rushed forward while fighting and encircling and dividing!

"That ...... What troops? Jib's tone was surprised.

Huan Chu knew about that army, but he only knew that it was the Xiang clan's ace army before, but now he can be regarded as seeing the strength of the so-called subordinate soldiers with his own eyes.

"Soldiers?" is a very distinctive title, Ji Bu is a Chu person, so he naturally knows what the Chu people mean by calling the so-called "son". It was most of the men from the Xiang clan, and they were the private army of the clan, "Amazing!" ”

Can it not be amazing? If Ji Bu didn't give a new order, the 2,000 rattan armor soldiers who were dragged by the cavalry would be surrounded again, divided, and eaten by the soldiers who shouted and charged again.

"Duke Huan, why don't you shout for a fight?" What Ji Bu said was to let those rebellious rebels attack the Chu army again.

Is it possible for Huan Chu to command the rebel army? If he could control the troops, it would not be the current situation. He shook his head and asked, "What is the Lord's backhand?" If not, we would be dragged here, constantly being waged and annihilated. ”

The attack on the left and right flanks of the Chu army was unfavorable, and Xiang Liang naturally would not just watch and not make adjustments. He cut off part of the 20,000 regular army and dragged the backward Lu Zhe's army, and withdrew the remaining regular army and replaced it with an ordinary army that had been prepared in the rear for a long time.

Of the 20,000 regular troops, only 12,000 were withdrawn. When they ran back, they looked at the enemy army with fearful eyes, most of whom had weapons in one hand and shields in the other, and felt that it was too frustrating to encounter such an offensive and defensive enemy army.

The situation of the two sides is actually a little delicate, the Chu army has the advantage in the middle, and the left and right flanks of Lu Zhe's army repelled the Chu army, so that Xiang Liang's central breakthrough loses the left and right wings and then penetrates deep and becomes a lone army.

Ji Bu was only surprised but not panicked, precisely because the left and right flanks not only stabilized, but also advanced a distance of three hundred paces, as long as the front army could support it. As long as the left and right flanks can divide their forces to resist the Chu army that continues to attack, then a trend of attacking the central Chu army on three sides can be formed.

Huan Chu could see that the adjustment of the battle formation of the large army from Nanjun was a little stiff, and it was basically because of the integrity of the establishment and the advantage of armor and weapons that it could fight like this. However, if Ji Bu could not flexibly adjust his troops, at most it would only be a threat to the Chu army, not a fatal blow.

The rattan armor soldiers who were out of shape finally ran into Xiang's disciples, and these vine armor soldiers kept looking behind them while fighting. It was obviously the panic of the formation that made them a little panicked.

"Chinese crossbowmen ready!" Ji Bu issued this order because he was weak-hearted, he was already mentally prepared for the collapse of the front army, and all he could do at the moment was to defend himself. Then let those rattan armor soldiers who are messed up can escape as much as they want.

When the rattan armor soldiers were almost surrounded, the sound of Jin on Lu Zhejun's side resounded, and their reaction when they heard the sound of Jin was to run towards the Chinese army without their lives, and the result was that the people who ran slowly became corpses and were left on the battlefield.

"Three thousand...... Only less than eight hundred ...... returned" Ji Bu muttered loudly: "Order the left and right wings to continue to advance!" ”

Huan Chu narrowed his eyes, in his opinion, Ji Bu's command ability was just like that, every order was so decent, basically what the Chu army did Ji Bu to deal with, it was the so-called "one step slower", and it was a little bit of a waste of such a well-organized and daring army.

When they approached the Chinese army about 200 paces, they dispersed to the left and right, while Xiang Yu and other cavalrymen who were chasing and killed waited for the vine armor to disperse before they saw the three thousand crossbowmen lined up in front of them in an arrow array ready to shoot.

"Retreat! Withdraw! "Is there a little bit of a childish voice that seems to be terrified? What Xiang Yu saw was a dark cloud rising from the flat ground, although he likes to charge and fight, but he is not a fool without a brain, it is nothing for eight hundred cavalry to attack the military formation of one thousand crossbowmen, and more than three hundred cavalry to attack the enemy army of three thousand crossbowmen lined up with arrows? That's not bravery, it's looking for death.

The cavalry still retained its speed when it didn't stop completely, but the soldiers who chased it didn't have that speed.

"Vertical shield! Vertical shield! ”

Of course, it is necessary to erect a shield, and if it is not erected, will it be a range hedgehog?

The falling arrows are simply a wide coverage, and strange sounds such as "boom" are emitted when the arrows hit the object and lose kinetic energy, and the necessary screams are constantly played in the soundtrack.

Xiang Yu and the other cavalry ran fast, they turned their heads and saw waves of arrows falling on the position they had just had, and the shields held high by their own soldiers there were endlessly attacked by arrows, not all of them could completely use their shields to protect themselves in the arrows like a downpour, and some of them were hit by arrows in their limbs that made the shield crooked, and the ensuing arrows would kill him.

The cavalry that caught up was shot over, and more than 20 of them who ran slowly, and the soldiers who chased and killed together were also nailed to the ground by arrows and became corpses after Lu Zhejun stopped firing arrows.

"The left and right wings are back together!" Ji Bu, who successfully blocked the Chu army, breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to thank Mei Kai, if it weren't for Mei Kai training a group of qualified crossbowmen officers, these officers brought out a group of qualified crossbowmen, who would not be able to shoot arrows indiscriminately, and the arrows shot would not have such great power and power, so they should let those young generals with terrifying force lead the cavalry to rush up again, and the consequences would be unpredictable at that time.

"Uh......, what a sensible rout! What a terrible array of arrows! "After the rout, I still know that I can't impact my own army formation, which not all armies can do, so Huan Chu is envious and jealous. Why doesn't he have such an army under his command? If the previous 70,000 people had Lu Zhejun's strict military discipline and obedience, he would have been able to unify Lujiang County, even if he failed to unify Lujiang County and Xiang Liang, it would not be so miserable.

Xiang Liang on the other side was also saying, "Terrible! It is not impossible for the soldiers to completely surround the enemy army, and there are more than 6,000 soldiers who can do it without encircling 2,000 rattan armor soldiers, because they want to drive the enemy army to attack their own army, after all, as long as a qualified general understands the tactics of covering and killing, how can he not understand it.

"It is difficult for the left and right flanks to have an advantage, and only breaking through in the center will not achieve the goal." Xiang Liang took a deep breath, the good and bad of the army under his command was really an unsolvable problem.

Gongao also had a deep impression of Lu Zhejun, not that Lu Zhejun's soldiers were fierce, but the kind of obedience that would be executed once the military order was issued. He pulled his beard: "In Ao Observation, the enemy's commander is slow to mobilize his troops, and his reaction is also stiff, if it is not for the sufficient execution of the troops under his command, he is not even a qualified general." However, this also fully proves that Lu Shizhe's rise in less than a year is no accident, what method did he use to train an army like this? ”

Xiang Liang also wants to know, more than anyone else, this is an army with the shadow of the Qin army, but unlike its Qin army, Lu Zhejun's troops have the courage of the Qin army, but this kind of dare to fight is not as crazy as the Qin army, but more like a kind of numbness printed with a template?

Yes, it is numb, the general gives orders, and his subordinates faithfully carry them out, whether they are stiff or not, whether the orders are reasonable or not, they are executed, and as a result, the thousand spearmen who launched a counter-charge were wiped out when they did not get the order to retreat, and those rattan armor soldiers fled without the slightest hesitation when they were ordered to retreat.

"Is this the kind of army that my Xiang family is going to face?" Xiang Liang was worried, he was not only worried but also hesitated, "Until now, we have eaten nearly 15,000 people from the other side, and we have also lost nearly 20,000 people, including nearly 2,000 ......soldiers."

Is it fear? Xiang Liang didn't know if he was afraid, he didn't know how many such troops there were under Lu Zhe, it was 100,000? Is it 200,000? Or 300,000?

Ji Bu is also afraid, more than 7,000 of the 20,000 soldiers are gone, and more than 8,000 auxiliaries are only auxiliary operations, and this is just a tentative battle with each other, he can't see if his troops have reached the limit, but the Chu army still has more than 100,000, under the premise that Huan Chu even has 13,000 remaining troops is so unbearable, can he continue to support it with more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 auxiliaries? (To be continued......)
