Chapter 284: Trap

Bai Wu led the men and horses and marched quickly forward, and there were scouts reporting from time to time along the way.

“...... The enemy is twenty miles away from our army......"

“...... The enemy is only ten miles away from our army and is retreating to the rear......"

......

However, the feeling of uneasiness in Bai Wu's heart became stronger and stronger, because the spies reported the distance between the two armies, and the other party did not know what kind of military branch, what number, who the general was, where he came from, and so on.

"Waste, can't you get closer to each other?" Bai Wu rebuked irritably.

"Great Marshal, the scout battalion has sent twice as many scouts, but the other side is very well guarded against our army's scouts, and on the periphery of the enemy army, the brothers have fought with the other party many times, and have suffered heavy casualties......" Shi Feng said with a solemn face.

Bai Wu's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he was silent for a while.

It is undoubtedly very abnormal for scouts to fight directly with each other, after all, scouts are spying on intelligence, and the personnel are small and scattered, mostly hidden in the shadows, and it is difficult to find.

"Lord Yang, it is extremely unusual for the enemy's perimeter to be so tightly guarded, what do you think of this matter?" Bai Wu snorted coldly, ignored Shi Feng, turned to look at Yang Zhan and asked.

Yang Zhan looked up at the misty mist in front of him and muttered, "My lord, the enemy's defense is so tight, it proves that it is a lone army. If you are alone, you are most afraid of being encircled, so you have to be extra careful and send scouts around you to be on guard. ”

"Besides," Yang Zhan's voice raised, "the enemy army has placed so many scouts on the periphery, and I think it is also because they are not familiar with the local terrain. Now the road is flooded, once lost, it is very dangerous, so the enemy can only send a large number of scouts to explore the road, the distance between the two armies is only ten miles, it is impossible for our army not to be discovered by the other party, marshal, our army should speed up the pursuit, otherwise the enemy army may escape, the opportunity must not be lost!"

Bai Wu nodded, his face changed, and he said coldly: "Stone, immediately give an order, all the scout battalions plus five hundred people leading the forward battalion, divided into ten squads, quickly open the way, kill the enemy scouts along the way, block the news of our army's pursuit as much as possible, and the whole army will pursue!"

It was dusk, the sun was gradually sinking in the west, the twilight was like blood, dyeing the sky red, and the sky was misty and rainy, but it was refracted by the remnant sun, and the color turned into a rainbow, as beautiful as a dream.

Under the setting sun, 3,000 people held long knives in their hands, standing like stone pillars, the sword light was clear, everyone held a shield in their left hand, and the dark and mottled shield looked cold and heavy.

The lone army is deep, and the Stinger troops are all lightly armed, so not everyone has a shield, Lei Shaoxuan allocated all the shields of the whole army to Yang Xiu's three battalions, because the three battalions leaked out, as a bait, they will directly face the frontal impact of the five thousand elite sailors, and they must strengthen protection.

At this time, the pursuit of the South Vietnamese naval division was getting closer and closer, and for Bai Wu, the intention was already very clear, that is, to forcibly pursue this Wei army of 3,000 men, and when the distance was less than a mile, the naval division fired a torch.

At this time, there is no need to hide their whereabouts and intentions at all, because even if the Wei army knows that it is being pursued by 5,000 people, they dare not run around anymore, such as cattle, in the face of the pursuit of lions, running away will only be eaten one by one, and desperate resistance is the only way out.

The 3,000 Wei army against the 5,000 sailors, only by fighting to the death, biting hard, wounding and hurting the sailors, can the Wei army have a chance to escape, otherwise in the face of the complete 5,000 sailors, the escape will only be eaten one by one. Rather than letting a complete 5,000 sailors pursue, it is naturally better to face the disabled sailors to have a better chance of pursuit. Three thousand against five thousand, the gap is not so big as to be hopeless.

This was common sense, so when Bai Wu learned that the Wei army had stopped in front and was waiting in formation, although there was a wave of palpitations and uneasiness in his heart, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, this situation was exactly what he had expected in his heart.

As a general, he is naturally not afraid of fighting, but in the face of the 3,000 Wei army that is waiting for him, the 5,000 sailors will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but all this is worth it, to defeat and eat this Wei army, and to stay as the commander of the sailor will become very meaningful, and it will somewhat reduce the notorious name of the sailor division retreating without a fight.

The beautiful scenery did not last long, the twilight gradually darkened, the rainbow gradually broke down and thinned, and the colorful colors dimmed, and finally became thinner and thinner, until they disappeared and became a black without light.

But the sky suddenly lit up with a little fire, one, two, three...... 100 points, 1000 points, 10,000 points, a straight line, a piece of light.

Five thousand sailors, holding countless torches, illuminated the sky, rushed over.

Dense human figures, forming a patch of light and shadow, shrouded over.

"Kill ......"

"Rush ......"

“......”

Footsteps, shouts of killing, horses' hooves...... The momentum is like a rainbow, exuding a terrifying killing intent.

"Kill!" Bai Wu rode his horse, his sword pointing forward.

"Kill ......"

The whole army roared in unison, and the sound seemed to tear the earth apart, shatter the sky, and regret the might.

In the firelight, Yang Xiu's cold face, glowing with a faint light, held his saber high, standing still, like a stone carving, behind him, three thousand sergeants, his body half squatting, motionless, like a stone forest spread out.

In the dark night, on the vast field opposite, the overwhelming firelight gradually drifted out of the night, gathered to form a bright sea of torches, accompanied by earth-shattering shouts of killing, and rushed violently towards this side.

The firelight grew brighter and brighter, the faces of the soldiers became clearer, the footsteps grew louder and louder, and the earth trembled.

"Five hundred steps to prepare!" Yang Xiu shouted.

"Four hundred steps to prepare!"

“......”

"Two hundred steps to prepare!"

“......”

"Raise your gun!"

Yang Xiu's voice passed through everyone's hearts, and the three thousand Wei soldiers suddenly squatted slightly, and the three thousand spears were erected obliquely, and the tips of the spears were forward, and they rushed towards the sailors who were rushing quickly.

The fire was extinguished.

When they were less than 100 paces away from the Wei army, the soldiers of the 5,000 naval divisions who were advancing at high speed suddenly threw away their torches, rushed with their weapons in hand, and the torches were suddenly extinguished! The gap between the two armies suddenly turned into an incomparably deep darkness, and only the sound of shouting and killing, roaring, and footsteps remained...... The various sounds gradually turned into roaring rolling thunder, converging into the roar of death, which resounded in the sky.

The roar of the impact suddenly sounded.

In the face of 5,000 elite sailors, Yang Xiu's three battalions put out a forest of guns like a horse rejection array.

This array is specifically aimed at cavalry charges, and is used to prevent infantry charges, and the effect is naturally excellent.

Everyone erects a spear obliquely, like a horse stake, holding a shield and holding a knife, waiting for the battle.

Ma Shaoteng had long expected the impact of 5,000 men and horses, and he must use cavalry to open the way, and the normal formation must not be able to block the impact of high-speed cavalry, and the horse rejection formation is to prevent cavalry.

Sure enough, although the sailors came ashore with not many horses, they were still enough to form a small group of cavalry to clear the way for the front army.

Looking at the rolling torrent of sailors, the rock-like Wei army formation, and the suddenly erected spear forest, Bai Wu's heart sank suddenly, and his heart was cold.

No matter how familiar with land warfare, Bai Wu also understands that the spear formation is mostly used to resist horses, and the anti-infantry is naturally not a problem, but the rejection of horse formation is too rigid, in fact, it is not conducive to the change of formation, so the attack is not strong, just a simple defense, and this formation is mostly only to block rather than kill the enemy, if the three thousand men and horses want to fight with the five thousand men and horses, it is impossible to only defend and not attack, then the purpose of this formation is self-evident, the Wei army must have another attack force.

In other words, these three thousand Wei troops must not be the main force of the battle, but just a door panel, blocking the front, so where is the main force of the attack?

Fear loomed in Bai Wu's heart.

The arrow was on the line, and the order had been sent and could not be retracted, and he could only watch as the tide of sailors and the rock-like Wei army collided fiercely.

The forest of guns exuding the breath of death, forest but cold, the overwhelming offensive was stagnant, and the enemy soldiers in the front row were immediately pierced by the long spears, and suddenly a group of people turned over on their backs, and the moment they hit the spear, a series of knife lights flashed, and suddenly, screams, broken bones, neighing of war horses, roars, wails, and the sound of Jin Ge resonating...... Countless voices mingled together, flesh and blood flew sideways, blood splattered, and the thick blood in the air diffused like hell.

At this time, torches suddenly lit up around the darkness again, and three black lines formed by countless neat figures appeared around the battlefield, forming a square with Yang Xiu's door-like formation, faintly surrounding the five thousand sailors in it.

Bai Wu's face changed drastically, and panic grabbed his heart.

- Fooled, the Wei army was not 3,000 men and horses, and he fell into a pocket trap.

Yang Zhan was terrified, his whole body trembled slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Dashuai, our army is encircled, do you want to break through immediately?"

Bai Wu forced himself to calm down, his face was covered with a layer of frost, he glanced at Yang Zhan, and said sharply: "Where to break through? There is water on the left and right, and there is chaos in the dark night, what should we do if we fall into an unknown and desperate situation? Since the enemy army has carefully laid a trap, it must have taken into account the rear road of our army, and there must be heavy troops on the back road, and the two armies are still fighting fiercely, and the morale is still there, so if they withdraw rashly, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and a defeat will be out of control. ”

Bai Wu Hengjian looked around left and right, and said categorically: "The former enemy is only 3,000, and our army is 5,000.

Bai Wujian raised his head in the air and said coldly: "The first battalion continues to attack head-on, the second battalion and the third battalion bypass the two flanks, attack from the flanks, leave no reserves, and kill out!"

"Get out!" shouted the guards on the left and right in unison.

"Kill!"

“......”

I have to say that Bai Wu, as a famous general, this order is very accurate, and it is also the only correct order.

The original purpose of the 5,000 Sailors Division was to crush and defeat the Wei army in front, if you don't take into account the Wei army that surrounded it, the 5,000 men and horses can indeed defeat the Wei army in front, after all, the naval division has the upper strength, and the combat power of the elite sailors is not weak.

Bai Wu led the guards, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward with a heart.

Three thousand sergeants are placed in a horse rejection formation, the formation is not easy to change, if the formation is too wide, then the formation will naturally appear thin, because it is necessary to block the enemy head-on, the formation can not move, it is undoubtedly a fixed target, five thousand sailors attack a fixed target, naturally have an advantage, as for the Wei army that surrounded it, Bai Wu has no time to consider its purpose.

However, Bai Wu soon fell into despair.

In the dark night, the sound of a palpitating bowstring suddenly sounded all around, and there was a faint sharp sound of breaking the air, cutting through the night.
