Chapter 656: Mandarin Duck Array

Huan Wen used 30,000 troops to deal with 20,000 troops, and the speed of the two flanks was faster than that of the Chinese army, and it was also the first place to fight. At this time, both sides are already fighting together, and it is already you and me and I have you. "Pass the order down, use the mandarin duck formation to face the enemy, and quickly clear the two wings of the enemy!" Half an hour after the start of the war, Li Xin ordered.

Then, the sound of war drums cooperated with the banner of the order, and conveyed his military order. Originally, it was already inseparable from the Jin army, and it was already a somewhat chaotic battlefield, and the soldiers of the Tang Army suddenly began to move.

This movement is only a small area, and it looks as if the originally scattered droplets of water suddenly gather around a certain point around them. It didn't take long for the Tang army on both flanks of the battlefield to become small groups of about five people, and they launched a new attack on the surrounding Jin army.

Huan Wen, who was standing behind the formation and watching the battle, witnessed all these changes, and his expressionless face suddenly sank.

"I thought that after the start of the war, the battlefield would be a mess, but according to the current situation, I am afraid that Li Hantang was prepared. The soldiers seem to be scattered and fighting with no pattern, but in fact they are not! Xi Chao stood behind Huan Wen and said suddenly.

Once the army is dispersed, it is by no means so easy to gather. This was especially difficult to do in ancient times. The main reason is that because of the communication problem, it is impossible for any soldier to get a clear order, so that every soldier can make a correct and timely response.

What's more, there were basically not a few literate soldiers in ancient times, and it was very difficult for you to let them disperse and quickly take them back.

Therefore, whether the ancient generals were good generals or not, as long as you can see a general from their command. Not only for the command of the battle, but also for the command between formations.

A true good general, in extremely difficult situations, is often able to integrate a chaotic army into a tight formation in the shortest possible time. On the contrary, mediocrity can only be helpless.

The Tang army was able to assemble in such a big battle as soon as they heard the military order, not only because they had undergone strict training in peacetime, and discipline had been deeply imprinted in their hearts, but more importantly, because Li Xin was already ready when he first attacked.

It seems that these Tang soldiers are randomly scattered, but in fact, only they know that each army is not far from each other at the beginning. Moreover, everyone's clothes have logos on them, and the soldiers of the same army have the same logos on their bodies.

So, once you hear the order, you don't have to go to someone, as long as you see the same sign around you, you just join in.

Of course, if it weren't for the training and drills that I have conducted again and again, I am afraid that this would not have been possible at all. I dare not say anything else, at least in terms of exercises and confrontation training, Li Xin dares to say that the Tang Army is the first person today.

The Mandarin Duck Formation was the beginning of the counterattack, and Huan Wen's Chinese army and the Bupo Army fought together, so the soldiers and horses used to fight with the other Tang troops were only 30,000 people. In comparison, the Tang army was only 10,000 fewer than him.

Such a difference is actually nothing compared to previous wars. When the counterattack began, the Jin army was already slowly sliding to the brink of defeat.

As the soldiers of the Jin army fell one after another, the Tang army slowly gathered together. Soon, the number of Jin troops on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller, and except for the side of the Bupo army, the two wings were gradually on par with the Tang army.

Seeing this, Huan Wen, who was behind the battle, couldn't help but be furious, and after realizing that he might face defeat, he could no longer sit back and watch the battle.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!" After ordering Xi Chao to supervise the battle, he lifted the reins of his horse and rushed towards the battlefield.

On the other side, Li Xin, when he saw Huan Wen personally on the battlefield, he no longer hesitated, and led a group of guards to the battlefield in person. At this point, the war has entered the most intense stalemate stage.

Li Xin led more than 200 guards including Liuzi to rush forward all the way and fight a bloody way on the battlefield. And behind him, more Tang troops gradually gathered, and everyone followed around him, and counterattacked towards the Jin army.

"Rush with this king!" Li Xin waved the war knife in his hand and rushed forward. At this time, there is only one word in his heart, and that is offense! The whole war has come to an end, and there is no better way than to attack.

Attack and attack, go forward bravely all the way without looking back, like a sharp blade to cut open the Jin army in front of you, and then smash them.

Li Xin attacked from the left flank, and under his leadership, at this time, more and more Tang troops on the left flank gathered behind him, and gradually turned into a sharp arrow, shooting straight towards where Huan Wen was.

The Jin army in front of him, facing the incomparably brave Tang army at this time, couldn't resist for a while, especially Li Xin in the center, who had no generals under him. Through the layers of soldiers who were fighting, Li Xin almost smoothly killed all the way in front of Huan Wen, and happened to meet him face to face.

"Huan Da Sima, I'm sorry, let's end this war today!" Li Xin looked at Huan Wen not far away and laughed.

"How dare the shaft be rude! Come on, take down this thief with my father! After hearing this, Huan Wen couldn't help but be furious.

The generals and guards who were protecting him beside him, after hearing the order, hurriedly slapped their horses and killed Li Xin. And the six sons and others beside Li Xin also immediately greeted them, and the two sides fought together.

And Li Xin faced the enemy general who was killed, and after laughing a few times, he also rushed forward with a knife, and soon cut down one of the enemy generals.

As a veteran general, Li Xin has trained himself over the years, especially with Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao, but he has not been less than that. Because he is well aware that in this era of hand-to-hand combat, it is inevitable to go to the battlefield and engage the enemy in person.

Therefore, if you want to save your life, it is best not to let yourself be protected by many soldiers, but to master your own skills. On the contrary, Huan Wen is different, how could a person as high as him be like Li Xin, with those ordinary soldiers and generals.

If Huan Wen and Li Xin really fight directly, I am afraid that in a few rounds, Li Xin will be directly picked off. Obviously, Huan Wen understands this very well, after all, Li Xinzhiyong is also famous all over the world. That's why he let others come up to meet Li Xin, and he didn't come to fight in person.
