Chapter 547: Stick a knife in you
Dai Liang's formation is the five formations commonly used by the Han army, that is, the thick Chinese army plus the front and rear left and right four battalions. His direction of advance was Riga in the north, so the front army was in the north and the rear army was in the south. Because this is a long and narrow terrain in the north-south direction, the front and rear battalions are thicker, and the left and right battalions are slightly weaker.
Dai Liang ordered the first attack, the front battalion with large losses retreated, and the Chinese army carried out a formation to block the attack, and at the same time arranged for the left and right battalions to outflank forward, wanting to surround the attacking enemy, such a tactic would inevitably lead to the emptiness of the two wings, and a part of the Chinese army moved forward, which would also reduce the strength of the Chinese army. According to normal tactics, he should move the rear army forward at this time, enter the positions of the left and right battalions, and cover the two flanks of the middle army.
But Dai Liang did not do this, he asked the rear army to stay in place, and left the two wings of the Chinese army empty.
It's a dangerous formation, especially when you know that the opponent has a backhand.
This is also an arrogant formation, and I know that you have a backhand, waiting for the Chinese army to attack me. I'm waiting for you! I expose my weakness in front of you, and I see if you dare to come and kill me. If you don't dare to come, you're a coward, and if you come, you'll either die or I'll die.
I'm gambling with you.
Dai Liang did this, on the one hand, because he hated Wei Ba very much, for fear that Wei Ba would slip away from his eyes, so he did not hesitate to expose his flaws and take the risk of luring Wei Ba to the bait. On the other hand, it is also the result of a variety of trade-offs, and it is not simply reckless. He had already learned about Wei Ba's approximate strength from all sides, and he believed that his army of 10,000 would be able to entangle Wei Ba and defeat Wei Ba. Wei Ba's total strength was inferior to him. They were all barbarians who had just been recruited, and his subordinates were the ones who had fought with him for many years, and they were far superior to Wei Ba's subordinates in terms of loyalty and experience in big battles. Although the brutes are fierce and good at fighting, they also have insurmountable weaknesses, they are not good at using battle formations, they are not suitable for large-scale battles, and once the situation is not right, they may collapse.
They are all rabble, and the battles of the front battalion have amply demonstrated this.
Dai Liang believes that Wei Ba is brave again. Nor is it possible to turn a brute into a trained warrior in just a few months. The training of the battle formation not only takes time, but also needs to be tempered.
Hearing the sound of war drums in the valleys on both sides, Dai Liang's face showed a cruel smile.
Well done!
Dai Liang quickly glanced at the hillsides on either side, where he saw only a fire dragon. I can't see the exact number of people. But he could roughly tell. The number on both sides is about the same, probably around a thousand. Coupled with the barbarians that the former army was fighting, the total number was very close to the information he had gotten. Even if Wei Ba still has some liliang left, it won't be too much.
At this time, if Wei Ba still pinched the main force and didn't make a move, then he would be stupid. Everyone can see that the barbarians in the front camp are already facing the result of the annihilation of the entire army, and if they can't succeed in attacking the Chinese army, Wei Ba will be defeated. He doesn't have many opportunities, and since he refuses to leave, he can only go all out and decide the winner with one blow.
"The Chinese army is facing the battle, and the rear army is ready to outflank." Dai Liang drew his sword and roared fiercely.
The drummers beat the drums of war and passed Dai Liang's orders out. The Wu army immediately began to act, and the Wu troops guarding both sides of the Chinese army's tent turned one after another, facing the slopes on both sides, with a triple spear formation in front, three rows of crossbowmen in hand, and a triple spear formation and three rows of crossbowmen in the back, ready to supplement the battle formation in front at any time. The rear battalion toppled down the ramparts and prepared for an attack, and when the enemy rushed down from the hillsides on both sides was entangled with the Chinese army, they would rush out of the main camp and outflank them from both sides, encircling the enemy in it.
This is another classic formation with the intention of total annihilation, Dai Liang not only showed a strong fighting style, but also gave full play to his superiority in troops.
Wei Ba stood on the hillside, with only two hundred guards left by his side. However, he was not nervous at all, on the contrary, he talked and laughed and explained to Xiahou Xuan the wonders of Dai Liang's battle formation. Xiahou Xuan didn't understand it very well, and it was relatively relaxed, but after listening to Wei Ba's words, he understood the danger in it, but he became nervous.
"Ziyu, since you have seen through Dai Liang's jihua and let people kill it, is it too dangerous?"
"Dai Liang seems to have made a lot of preparations to deal with me." Wei Ba said with a smile: "However, who am I?" I'm a god general, and I always have a killer weapon that he can't guess. The two armies face each other, just like a master's move, and the moves of the two sides generally do not have any secrets, but the same moves, different people use them, but there will be different results. In the blink of an eye, the speed and slowness of the strength may determine the winner. ”
"And what exactly is your killing weapon?"
Wei Ba looked at Xiahou Xuan in surprise: "You still don't know what my killing weapon is?" ”
Xiahou Xuan blinked blankly, thought for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "Heavy armor? ”
Wei Ba tilted his head sideways, looked at Xiahou Xuan like a fool for a moment, sighed in frustration, and said nothing. Xiahou Xuan was very faceless, and became angry: "The heavy armor is strong, but there are only 100 people in total, what role can it play?" I think they are just a guard of honor for window dressing, and when they really go to the battlefield, they may not be able to play much role. ”
Wei Ba sighed and waved his hand: "Don't argue, use facts to prove it." Xiahou Daming, please keep your eyes open, this is my real kung fu at the bottom of the box, a killer feature that ordinary people can't see. ”
Xiahou Xuan was unconvinced, but his eyes looked at it involuntarily. His eyes widened, and he stared at the heavy armor soldiers who rushed to the front. The heavy armor is very recognizable, and the heavy armor on their body is their symbol, which is very dazzling in the light of the fire.
He happened to see the moment when Wang Shuang and Heisha broke the formation.
Wang Shuang and Heisha marched together, each leading fifty heavy armor soldiers, lined up in two rows in front and back, independent formation, and echoed each other. The two were twenty paces apart, and almost in no particular order, they entered Dai Liang's Chinese army array. When they arrived in front of the Wu army's formation, they slowed down, used the corner of their eyes to maintain a formation with their companions, and used their waist strength to dance the long knife into a ball of sword light. The sharp long knife cut off the spear of the Wu army, smashed the armor and shield of the Wu army, cut the flesh and skin of the Wu army, and cut the bones of the Wu army.
The sword and shield hands and spearmen of the Wu army did not have the power to fight back in front of the heavy armor soldiers, although they fought back with all their might, they were killed one by one, Wang Shuang and Heisha cut a piece of fat like two sharp daggers, and almost did not encounter any resistance, and broke through the triple spear formation of the Wu army. Behind them, there were stumps and severed arms left behind, blood stained everywhere, and the smell of hot and coaxing was emanated.
The crossbowmen were dumbfounded, looking at all this in disbelief. They all lowered their crossbows and fired no more, for the arrows they shot had no effect at all on these heavily. These samurai, who were covered in heavy armor, did not even look at them, and the arrows were shot at the heavy armor on their bodies, which were bounced off like feathers, and occasionally a few arrows were embedded between the armor leaves, and they were quickly knocked down by the whirling arms and blades, so weak that they were like a straw, and they drifted with the current.
However, the long knife in the enemy's hand was so sharp that it was almost a murder encounter, a god killing a god, and any object that stood in their way was indiscriminately cut into pieces. They didn't care what was in front of them, they just brutally slashed all the way through, and they couldn't resist it.
The barbarians who followed behind the heavy armor soldiers carried weapons, but there was almost nothing to do, most of the enemies had been killed by the heavy armorers, and occasionally the surviving ones were also severely injured, there was no need to cut them at all, and they did not live long. Although these barbarians usually kill people, although they are used to seeing blood, and they claim to be warriors of various tribes, otherwise they would not have been selected to enter the guard camp of Wei Shenjiang, but today they followed the heavy armor soldiers to fight, and saw the power of the heavy armor soldiers with their own eyes, looking at the blood and mutilated limbs in that place, they really felt the chill through the body, and at the same time fear, they felt a trace of luck.
Thankfully, we are behind these killing gods, not in front of them.
The triple spear array was like a piece of paper, easily pierced by the heavy armor, not to mention the next three rows of crossbowmen, the heavy armor soldiers almost effortlessly slaughtered them cleanly, and then unstoppably killed in front of those dumbfounded Wu Jun.
In a moment, Wang Shuang and the others broke through the first heavy formation deployed by Dai Liang, and five or six hundred soldiers were killed in front of the formation, barely alive. Dai Liang's battle array with high hopes was lightly poked by Wei Ba, and a big hole was poked.
Dai Liang stood on the command car, his scalp tingling for a while. He had an ominous feeling that he might have made the biggest mistake of his life. In order to deal with Wei Ba, he made a lot of preparations, from psychological to material, and thought that he was very well prepared. But now it seems that his preparation is far from enough. All of Wei Ba's tactics were expected by him, but Wei Ba's attack power far exceeded his expectations.
In order to lure Wei Ba to attack, he exposed his ribs, but Wei Ba came and stabbed him in the ribs. The knife was so sharp, and it hurt so badly that it hurt his heart and lungs. Although Zuihou had not yet arrived at that moment, he had already felt Wei Ba's murderous aura and heard the grim smile of the god of death.
"Rear Army Assault!" Dai Liang roared almost instinctively. He shouted so urgently that it seemed that he would not have a chance to shout it if he hesitated.
The rapid sound of war drums suddenly exploded, and the soldiers in the rear camp were a little stunned, the battle had just begun, and the enemy had not completely descended from the hillside, why did Dai Yuanjun order to attack? Isn't it too early to surround all the enemies?
They couldn't see the situation in the front camp clearly, they didn't know that the situation in the Chinese army had reached the most critical moment. Now it is not a question of whether or not the enemy army can be completely annihilated, but whether the Chinese army can be maintained.
Wei Ba's knife was inserted too deeply, and Dai Liang was injured too badly. (To be continued......)
