Han Xin looked high in Gangneung and saw that what was fighting together was the front line of the two armies.

The front of the Southern Expeditionary Army is very thick: 3,000 short soldiers and guards are indestructible as the middle formation, and the 10,000 veterans of the Wuchang battalion are lined up left and right, although they have not been on the battlefield for a long time, but they just look at the smoke of Jiangling, and shout the slogan "The 100,000 troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army have arrived", and they also believe a little, and their morale suddenly soared.

The recruits composed of 10,000 An Lu young men stayed at the Heifu Shuai Banner as a reserve.

On the other hand, Feng Wuxuan's army in the west only sent 10,000 people to fight, although there were fewer people, but they were all elite soldiers in Guanzhong, and the formation was much more regular than that in the east.

Because of the sudden incident in Jiangling, Feng Wuxue had to let Yang Xiong take 4,000 men to block the rebels coming from the direction of Jiangling, so as not to be attacked by his back.

Although there was an accident, Feng Wuxue still firmly believed in two things in his heart:

"There are no more than 100,000 rebel reinforcements."

"Even if thousands are divided, our army is in array and the enemy is scattered, and the front battle is still not lost."

As long as Yang Xiong held back the rebels for an hour, Feng Wuxue was confident that he could defeat or even annihilate the rabble under Heifu on the frontal battlefield, and the victory would still belong to Wang Shi!

The more decisive the battle, the more careful General Feng was when he was old and strong, and when Yang Xiong was ordered to leave, he also instructed him: "The banner is a little Yan, leave under the cover of our rear army, don't make the soldiers in the front find out and be surprised!" ”

"No!"

Sure enough, just after Yang Xiong led the people away and headed for Jiangling, the cavalry of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was cruising on the northern edge of the battlefield, saw far away from standing high, discovered this, and immediately sent people to break through to the place where the two armies were facing each other, and began to shout loudly:

"Feng Wu chose to escape!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhen was a little flustered, but even if there were those who turned back, from their sight, they couldn't see the departing Yang Xiong, and only saw Feng Wuxue's "Wuxinhou" banner, firmly set up in place, immovable!

"The general is still ......"

The soldiers muttered in Guanzhong dialect, spread to each other, and finally became a slogan for their attack!

"General Feng is still here!"

……

"It is worthy of being the Marquis of Wu Xin, who can see through my plan to attack the west."

Divide the troops and leave the flag, so as not to make the soldiers who are fighting hard in front suspicious, this fleeting detail has also won a praise from Heifu.

He said secretly: "In the past, when I was a county lieutenant in the north, I once said that there are three urgent things to do in battle: one is to get the terrain, the second is to serve the soldiers, and the third is to use the tools. ”

At present, the two sides are fighting in the field in the plains, and the terrain is equal, at most because there are many ditches in the battlefield, and the vehicles and horses brought by the other side are useless.

In terms of the quality of the armor, because Heifu captured a lot of them in the Wuchang and Anlu battles, his subordinates have all put on the standard armor and hold five soldiers, which is almost the same, but the arrows are not as many as Feng Jun, who is backed by the Yingcheng arsenal.

But in terms of "service and practice", the gap is more than a little bit and a half.

Feng Wuxue's army is composed of Guanzhong lieutenant and guard army, they served as the guard of Qin Shi Huangdi, and the good family son of the landlord who chose military merit to serve as the elite of the world.

On the other hand, those in the black husband's formation, except for the short-range guards played by thousands of good families in Nanjun, are not inferior after two years of training. The 10,000 veterans of the Wuchang battalion who were brought in basically only planted land and cut down trees in the past two years, and the composition was also uneven, most of them were poor people from Chu, evil teenagers, and businessmen's sons-in-law.

The 10,000 recruits in Anlu are loyal to loyalty, but they have only fought a tailwind battle in Anlu, and they have not seen a big scene, some people such as Yuan Yong and others are eager to try, but most of them are wide-eyed, spittle, and nervous.

And Heifu's real trump card, the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Army that has been fighting with the Yue people for two years, is still in Jiangling City, under the command of Han Xin, I don't know how long it will take to rush to help.

"The art of war, there is no invitation to the banner of righteousness, there is no dignified Chen, and this is also a changemaker, but now, my plan to attack Jiangling is Lao Feng who sees through it, so he can only fight hard."

Therefore, what Heifu hopes to smooth out the gap between the two sides is morale......

The three armies can win the air, and the generals can win the heart!

For the enemy's three armies, it can dampen its sharpness and demoralize; For the enemy's general, it can shake his determination and make him lose his fighting spirit.

However, even though he was about to face the enemy on his back, General Feng's determination seemed unshakable, calmly arranged, and was not affected in the slightest.

In the face of the thick smoke of Gangneung and the danger of the enemy's approaching reinforcements, although the troops under his command were a little surprised, they still stabilized their positions.

"After all, it is the Qin army of the Hundred Battles Division that is fighting against us, not the Chu people, let alone the Yue people......" Heifu sighed.

In the same vein, in the center of the battlefield, the tactics of the two sides are like a replica, the front is contradictory and the rear is full of crossbows.

How can he say that he has no clothes, and is with his son? A person may be afraid, but when you are in a dense phalanx, when you are beside the robe, you are also inspired and dragged forward......

"It's an uphill battle."

Heifu knew that he had hit a hard bone, and today's casualties were not small.

Seeing that the number of the Southern Expeditionary Army was slightly larger, but when fighting with the Feng Army's front formation, it was still in a stalemate, and the two sides lined up in formation, fighting each other in short arms, and saw the moves, but they could not break the situation for a long time.

As more and more casualties appeared on both sides, Heifu knew that he could not hold each other like this anymore, otherwise, the first to lose and retreat would probably be his own side!

Historically, if you rule the enemy with chaos, can you still win?

Yes! The battle of Mai Li, Gou Jian against Lu! The disorderly Yue people faced the Wu army formation trained by Sun Wu, but they won a big victory!

Gou Jian was able to win, relying on three hundred dead soldiers who killed themselves in front of the battle, which made the Wu people stunned.

In the final analysis, it is still two words: take the breath!

"Since words can't take away their breath, then use the impact of fear of death to make their gods shake!"

Hefu had a new army flag painted with an axe pattern waved.

"Order, so that the people who lead the trap will split the formation!"

……

"Trap the camp, stand up!"

After receiving the military order sent by the herald, hundreds of steps behind the front formation, the flag officer "Mu", who had followed Heifu for more than ten years, held a big axe and straightened up.

He is also a native of Anlu, as early as when Heifu was still a cousin, and then in addition to Beidi and Jiaodong, Mudu has been following, he is honest and honest, but he has a strong body, nine feet high, and a big axe for chopping wood at hand.

And beside him, there were still 500 soldiers with the same weapons, all of them tall and big, standing in the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was generally no more than seven feet tall, like a flock of chickens.

According to Wu Qi's method of teaching warfare: the short ones use spears and halberds, and the tall ones use bows and crossbows. Therefore, when he was in Shaxian, Heifu reorganized the 20,000 soldiers of the Wuchang battalion, in addition to arranging military judges to be stationed in each hundred, he also selected 2,000 tall and powerful crossbowmen as crossbow soldiers, who specialized in crossbow training.

But in this group of tall people, there are hundreds of people, who are not born to eat this bowl of rice, and they don't know whether their hands are shaking or their eyes are wrong, so they can't aim at all, and they make a lot of jokes about "learning to crossbow in January".

Heifu was not reluctant, and let them be brought under the command of the oysters and reorganized into a new army:

"Trapped!"

In the words of later generations, it is the death squad.

This was originally built by Shang Ying, a special existence in the Qin army, and the military law stipulates that if each team of trapped soldiers can win five heads, they will be given the title of one level each. If he dies in battle, his title can be inherited by his family, and if anyone cowers, he will be punished with a heavy punishment of black face and nose slashing under the watchful eyes of thousands of people!

On the other side, there were similar types of troops in Feng Wuxue's army, all of whom were people who had committed crimes in the army, forcing them to be the vanguard and engage the Southern Expeditionary Army.

However, the weapons of the soldiers trapped in the Southern Expeditionary Army were not ordinary spears, swords and shields.

It's something these people have used for the past two years: the big axe......

Seeing this weapon, 500 people are smiling, they are not used to using spears, strong crossbows are not accurate, but the axe is a good hand, in the past two years, because of the strong body, everyone is often required to carry the axe into the mountains and forests, for the army to cut wood and wood, the proficiency is extremely high.

Heifu also attached great importance to these trapped people, and personally inspected them several times, giving them high-standard food, eating fish and japonica rice. They were also asked for their names and allowed to drink rice wine before the war!

At this moment, the two armies fought fiercely in the front, drenched in blood, and shouted boiling sky.

But the 500 people who were behind the battle had already drunk several glasses of wine each, and they were full of courage and laughter.

At this moment, Heifu sent someone over to give an order: "If the trapped people can split the enemy's formation, five hundred people, everyone will be rewarded with a thousand dollars!" ”

Mu immediately dropped the wine cup and shouted loudly.

"Second and third sons, chop wood for the prince!"

"Chop wood!"

The courage of the people who were trapped in the team doubled, and they got up one after another, picked up the military axe at hand, the blade was eight inches long, weighed eight catties, and the handle was more than five feet long, and followed the peony forward.

At this moment, the Southern Expeditionary Army array, which was located on the southern flank of the battle line, was unable to hold the tight enemy phalanx, and after suffering heavy losses, it was ordered to rotate down.

The opponent took the opportunity to attack, advanced more than ten steps, and wanted to break a gap, but was first attacked by a burst of strong crossbow shots, and after blocking it with a shield, he looked up again, but saw five hundred strong men with strong arms and round waists, accompanied by rumbling war drums, striding forward, and rushing over with a mouthful of wine!

The sharp spears in front of them were like a forest, but the soldiers who were trapped in the team turned a blind eye, and some even took off their shirts and came with their bare arms, not avoiding the arrows and stones!

Feng Jun was not surprised at all by this tactic, because for a long time, there has been a saying that "the soldiers of Shandong were armored to fight, and the Qin people donated armor to approach the enemy, carrying the head on the left and the captive on the right", and it was an old trick of the Qin army to let the dead charge naked and disrupt the opponent's array.

But it was the first time that Cheng had used a big axe, and the five hundred strong men held the axe horizontally, rushing over without fear of death, and there was a strong sense of impact visually.

Feng's soldiers were shocked in their hearts, and subconsciously lowered their spears, wanting to prevent this group of monsters from approaching.

And the big axe is specially used to split spears and trap strong formations!

One thing descends one thing, and the square array of spears that is several zhang long after being flattened can prevent the sword from getting close, but in front of the heavy axe, it is not worth mentioning, after all, people are specially used to cut trees.

In just a few moments, hundreds of spears were cut off by these big axes, and the subsequent spears were stretched out, and they were easily cut in two.

When the tip of the spear fell to the ground, the spear was useless, and hundreds of men were able to get close and smash their shields while shouting and fighting!

Their cries shook the world and overwhelmed the sound of fighting.

After splitting a gap in the tight phalanx, he slaughtered all sides in the enemy formation that stood closely, and used them as firewood. No matter how many enemy soldiers there were in front of them, they were all destroyed, and for a while, flesh and blood flew sideways......

Only 500 people, in one breath, actually disturbed the formation of 2,000 people on the southern flank of the Feng army!

If you can't win against push, then you will be dragged into chaos.

Without waiting for the commander in front of him to transfer troops to fill this gap, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army in the rear also followed closely behind, stepping forward, pressing thousands of people on the southern flank of the Feng Army, wanting to expand the results of the battle!

And at this moment, Heifu's reserves, moved!

As his military flag waved and the horn sounded, five thousand An Lu were young and strong, also holding a spear, and charged towards the southern flank of the battle line!

……

"General, we have to send someone to the southern flank to support!"

The south wing was in a hurry, and Feng Wuxue's face was solemn.

At this moment, the middle formation is still inseparable, and on the north flank, it is already its own side that has gradually gained the advantage, but the south flank has made a mistake, and the morale has plummeted, and there is gradually a defeat, but it can still resist for a moment.

Feng Wu said in his heart: "Heifu is counting on using the chaos created by the trapped soldiers to make our army frightened, and then send backups, with one blow, to outnumber, to gain absolute superiority in the southern flank, after penetrating the array, and then eat my middle and northern flank!" ”

His gaze kept moving north and south of the battlefield.

The southern flank had been badly damaged, and its morale had declined, and even if troops were sent to support, it would be difficult to save the defeat.

And if the northern flank is supported, it can penetrate the enemy formation right now! Commander Wang Fei's chariot is still on standby in the northern Qiufu, if he can take advantage of the defeat of the northern flank of the thief army, he will rush over in one fell swoop......

It is these two choices that Feng Wu chooses.

It was to send reserves to save the rout on the southern flank.

Or let them go to the north, cooperate with the cavalry troops, smash the banner of the black man, and finish the battle in one battle?

Thinking only for a moment, Feng Wuxuan raised and put down his hand, and said secretly: "Our army is long in a long battle, and Heifu wants to rob me of morale, relying on one drum, two and decline, and three exhaustion. ”

He stroked his beard and said: "Heifu wants to fight quickly, heh, the old man wants to grind slowly with him, half an hour has passed since the start of the war, and then wait for half an hour, the rebels' Gangneung reinforcements are blocked by me, and they will not arrive for a long time, and when the morale of the rebels will be exhausted, that is the time to decide the winner!" ”

However, just as Feng Wuxuan was about to give the order, a scout from the rear hurriedly reported: "General! Yang Xiong is defeated! ”

"What!?"

This is really a bolt from the blue, Feng Wuxue, who has been paying attention to the battle ahead, turned back in amazement, but saw that seven or eight miles to the west, Yang Xiong's defeated troops were retreating towards this side, their formation was chaotic, and they rushed to flee like frightened birds, but they didn't know what they had experienced in just half an hour......

In the rear, there is an orderly Southern Expeditionary Army array, no less than the Guanzhong soldiers.

A flag with the word "Han" is flying on it!
