"Order the left army to attack, be sure to block the rebellious cavalry for me!" Gongsun Mi's voice was loud but his heart was cold.

Defeated, this time a complete defeat!

He was ordered to send troops to attack Zhushan County, and selected 100,000 horses from more than 400,000 local troops who met the standards in physique, age, and combat effectiveness, and marched into Zhushan County in a mighty manner.

This unit, named the First Regiment of Nannuma Prefecture, is relatively well-equipped, the officers above the squadron leader can wear fine armor, the weapons are brand new, the military salary is twice as high as that of the city defense army, and ten division commanders with combat experience are selected from the people recommended from all over the country, plus a chief of staff sent by the Kong family, which is quite like a regular army.

Not long after they entered Ruzhushan County, they met a real army at the foot of a hill, the elite of the kingdom, the 72nd Division.

The veteran of the general has a silver beard, still sitting on horseback, impartial, densely packed soldiers lined up under the mountain, all kinds of flags fluttering in the array, only to see the shadow and not hear the voice, the enemy still has iron in his eyes.

Gongsun Mi ascended to the heights to observe, and immediately frowned: Today's battle is inevitable.

The location of the regimental card of the 72nd Division is too good, there is a road in front of the mountain, which is the only way for the 1st Army Corps in Nannuma Prefecture; behind the mountain is a forest, which is not suitable for the passage of large troops; there is a river next to the road, and there is no road to go around.

Unless the cavalry can knock the mountain away, no one will charge at the mountain wall so much, and the ranged troops in the formation can easily block the road, and the enemy will be no different from sending him to death.

This is the army supported by Ding Kui, how can there be a lack of strong crossbows? Within a radius of 300 steps, the elite armored infantry will not dare to break through.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, let's fight! Gongsun Mi has no other choice.

There are 80,000 people in his forward plus Chinese army, and there is only one division on the opposite side, eight against one, and he has to bite off a piece of Warmer's flesh with his teeth.

Fortunately, there was no initiative to attack on the other side, Gongsun Mi had time to arrange the troops, and after spending half a day's effort, he finally put out a "product" type battle formation, divided into 20,000 people on the left, middle and right, the main attack in the middle, and the cover on both wings.

The 72nd Division actually sent a battle formation to attack!

Gongsun Mi expected that the scene of crossbow arrows flying sideways did not appear, and two thousand infantry, two square battle formations, walked out one after the other.

Two thousand against twenty thousand?

The Eighth Legion can't be killed?

Bloomer is too arrogant, isn't he?

The local soldiers felt the contempt of the other side.

Knock knock, war drums sounded in unison, flags were unfurled, Gongsun Mi ordered to cheer for the soldiers on the battlefield, and the enemy must not be underestimated.

The battle formation in front of them quickened their pace, eager to rush in front of the enemy army and beat up the proud ones.

"Stop!"

The front and rear phalanxes stopped.

"Rack a gun!"

The soldiers in the front row took the square shield that came up from behind and stuck it firmly on the ground, snapping, clicking...... A spear was placed at the junction of the shield, and the soldiers held the tail of the spear with both hands, forming a defensive formation.

"The enemy is afraid!" "Then a few people can destroy them with one man and one kick!" "Go around and attack them from both sides!" "No! you can break them up from the front!" ......

The local troops were excited, and at first they thought that the enemy was going to hedge against them, but now they look at the elite troops as well, and they can win if they have enough numbers.

The originally neat team began to deform, the minds of the middle-level commanders were different, their ideas were not unified, and the battle formations with the brigade as a unit appeared in different directions of travel.

Chief of Staff Kong Liang became more and more anxious the more he looked at it, and said, "It's not okay to go on like this!"

Gongsun Mi said helplessly: "Write it down, summarize it after the fight, and now I can't control them, fortunately, there are enough people to adjust it." ”

Before he could say that, something went wrong on the battlefield.

The soldiers at the front stepped on the trap and fell into a deep pit, which was a large pit more than 20 meters long and 2 meters wide, and at least more than 10 people fell into it.

Before they could climb out, a dark shadow shot out from the top of the hill, and it flew in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Oh my God! That's a spear, no!

Before everyone could react, the giant crossbow arrow shot into the pit, boom, burst into a ball of fire, and then the pit burned, and the fire engulfed the soldiers who had no time to jump out of the pit.

Gongsun Mi and Kong Liang were dumbfounded.

"Is this a ballista? That's what the navy was defeated. Kong Liang's eyes showed a look of understanding.

"Hmph! Gongsun Mi's face returned to normal, and he thought: Fortunately, there are not many such weapons.

He was looking at the top of the hill.

As a result, the battle formations among the local armies were even more chaotic.

"Squat!" a new command came out of the 72nd Division's formation.

With a neat "snap", the officers and soldiers on the battlefield squatted down together.

"Hey!" Kong Liang sighed, and then saw thousands of arrows flying into the sky, and the landing point was the local army battle array.

Gongsun Mi's point of concern finally came, and the enemy still used the strong crossbow and used it when they were not prepared.

Ten waves of arrows rained down, and the troops who crossed the pit were in disregard of their formation and became a mess.

Then the crossbowmen began to shoot straight ahead, and the sharp bolts passed over the heads of the infantry, accurately finding the enemy, and pinning the scattered local troops to the ground one by one.

Command on the battlefield depends on the commanders of each division, the orders of the division commanders are carried out by the brigade commanders, and the commanders of the brigades are conveyed by the squadron commanders. If this line of command is broken, the soldiers below will be in chaos.

The vanguard of the 1st Army Corps in Nannuma Prefecture collapsed in half before it could make contact with the enemy, and the morale of the whole army was slipping.

The vanguard finally stabilized its position in the second half of the line and stopped on the battlefield to fend off the crossbow arrows. At this time, the enemy infantry brigade moved, and rushed over with a spear in hand.

"Retreat!"

"Go up to the top and fight melee combat and disable the crossbow. ”

There was a disagreement between the two top commanders on the platform, and it was Gongsun Mi who advocated fighting.

This is still the case at the top level, and there are also great differences among the middle and low-level officers, but before they can discuss it clearly, the enemy has been killed.

The infantry of the 72nd Division, in full armor, poured into the local army formation like a torrent of metal, and no one could stop them from advancing.

Today's first official confrontation began, and the local army of nearly 10,000 people could not stop the charge of 2,000 heavy infantry. If you look closely, the hoplites in the back row are clean and there is no trace of blood at all, which means that they did not move at all.

The heavy infantry in the front row was rushing and killing against the enemy's weapons, basically taking a hit and hitting the enemy by themselves, but they were fine, and the enemy was either killed or wounded.

Such a battle has no confrontation to speak of, the disparity in strength is too great, and it is a completely one-sided slaughter scene.

It is not that the local army does not have strong and strong forces, but they do not cooperate in battle, and they can easily be caught in the middle of two or three enemy forces with weak forces.

It is rumored that Dong Ba claimed that the 71st Division was the first cavalry unit of the Shaodian Kingdom, and Hua Mo, who was also an old qualification, believed that the 72nd Division was the first infantry unit of the Shaodian Kingdom, although the rumors were unreliable, the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Division was really strong.

The infantry is fighting, the crossbowmen have not stopped, because there are too many local soldiers, but there are many targets to shoot, and the center of the battlefield is the local army crying dad and mother, either holding the head of the rat or on the way of the head of the mouse.

Gongsun Mi hurriedly ordered: "The right army cut in! The right army cut in! Surround the enemy!"

The 20,000 people in the middle are considered to be useless, but he has more people and can save the tide of the war, but the 72nd Division has also moved.

A thousand crossbowmen came out with strong crossbows, covered by infantry on either side.

Gongsun Mi's right army hurriedly raised a shield to defend, but no matter how big the shield was, it couldn't block the whole body, this crossbowman may have been an archer before, and the shot was accurate, and those arrows drilled straight into the gaps, and the right officers and soldiers were like rice harvested in the autumn, falling one by one.

The staff officer behind Hua Mo said: "Fight too hard, will the people in China spray us as bloody butchers?"

"There is no way, to ensure the stability of the rear, the young master can fight in his own country with peace of mind, if he doesn't give them a dismount, Shao Dianxi will not feel at ease. Don't worry, I won't wipe out all this legions, at least half of them will be sent home, and let them go back to publicize it. Hua Mo had good thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't bear to kill them all.

Well, in his mind it was good thoughts.

The hoplites in the middle of the battlefield slowed down, cleared the nearby enemy, and began to turn in formation. They had to turn around, cutting from the flank of Gongsun Mi's right army, leaving the front to the crossbowmen.

At the same time, the 72nd Division ran out of a group of cavalry, and after forming a goose-shaped formation, it began to accelerate, aiming at the chaotic enemy in the center of the battlefield.

This is to leave those thousands of defeated troops behind.

So Gongsun Mi ordered the left army to attack.

The defeat is sealed and irretrievable.

Although there are still about 60,000 people in the First Army Corps of Nannuma Prefecture, the 72nd Division has only used half of its strength so far, and 20,000 people have been defeated, not to mention that 20,000 people are about to be defeated.

The demoralized right army could not stop the charge of the heavy infantry in any case, and there were crossbowmen on the side to mend their swords.

As long as the left army can slow down the enemy's cavalry, then Gongsun Mi still has time to withdraw his troops on the battlefield. It turned out that this unit was far from being an opponent of elite divisions.

"Oops!" Kong Liang cried out in a lost voice, and Gongsun Mi looked in the direction of his finger.

A group of enemy troops was pushing out with many carts, facing the left army.

"Ring the gong and withdraw the army!" Gongsun Mi ordered in frustration.

He guessed one more thing, the 72nd Division had more ballistas, and if you count them carefully, at least ten, it can't be said to be a small skill of carving insects.

In such an open and flat battlefield, with the cooperation of other arms, the ballista can be fired incessantly, which greatly increases the lethality of the enemy's army, and the enemy is afraid that his subordinates will not die fast enough.

The morale of the local army was already low, and as soon as the order to retreat was given, many people ran away, and the formation that was barely maintained was completely chaotic!

"All the army is attacking!" Bloomer drew his sword and pointed at the enemy's banner.

The 72nd Division left only a thousand men to guard the position, and the rest all rushed out.

A head-on encounter begins to evolve into a chase.

......

Liu Yu walked to the wall, took out a rope and tugged it, the curtain on the roof was opened, and the soft light illuminated the whole room.

The military order part of the Nanqiu County Commander's Mansion began to use magic lights.
