Lin Jue was naturally not a reckless man, although he was forced to attack, Lin Jue still had some arrangements. Just as the strategy of disrupting the enemy's position with war horses worked, the opponent's bow and arrow did not inflict a lot of damage on your side during the most dangerous approaching phase. Only a dozen guards were shot and killed during the charge, which can no longer be considered a loss.

In addition, Lin Jue of course has arrangements.

The six hundred warriors were like a sharp dagger plunged into the opponent's formation. After the engagement, the strength of the soldiers on both sides was decided. The palace guards are not only well-equipped and have strong armor, but they are also much more skilled than these soldiers. The soldiers were no match for them at all, and it seems an exaggeration to describe them as chopping melons and vegetables, but to some extent it is not an exaggeration.

The formation of six hundred people contracted tightly together, gathering into a tight formation. The advantage of this is that it makes it impossible for the opponent to cut the encirclement and reduces the size of the engagement. Everyone on the periphery only needs to focus on fighting the enemy and not worrying about being behind them. Because it's your own people. This is a point that Lin Jue kept emphasizing before the war. If some of the manpower is cut out, Lin Jue also gave a death order, and he must not rush to the rescue, because it will loosen the formation and be divided more by the opponent's impact.

The opponent has too many people, and a large-scale engagement will expose the disadvantage of their own numbers, and through this method of engagement, they are only facing a circle of enemies on the periphery, and the actual number of troops engaged in the battle is only more than 200 people on each side. This move is tantamount to forcibly leveling the actual number of belligerents on both sides, which can be described as a smart move. And in the melee, the archers of the opposing side did not dare to shoot arrows indiscriminately. Because it's easy to hurt your own people by mistake.

Another advantage of this formation is that the manpower of the inner and outer circles of the team can be rotated. People's strength is limited, especially in the face of a large number of enemies, they are inexhaustible, killing one and then three or four come up. Even if these people stand there and let you kill, they will be tired to death, and when they are tired, they will be attacked by the opponent's new forces. Therefore, Lin Jue's request is that as long as he feels tired, he will immediately retreat into the circle, and the guards in the circle will immediately take over. It is equivalent to taking turns to rest and recuperate.

At the beginning of the battle, with ingenious tactics and superb martial arts, six hundred warriors actually gained the upper hand. Although the opponent has a large number of people, it is useless because of the large number of people, and most of the soldiers and horses can only be surrounded by heavy surrounds and cannot join the battle group. The six hundred warriors formed in a tight formation, like a heavy chariot, with sharp rotating blades on all sides, crushing through the crowd without hindrance. In just half an hour, the number of casualties among the soldiers was thousands, and the six hundred warriors suffered only thirty casualties.

Lin Jue was in the middle of the formation, and Sun Dayong was heavily protected by people beside him, and some people even held shields for him.

"Brother Sun, where will the other lord be? But I found it. Lin Jue asked in a deep voice.

Sun Dayong said: "There is a banner on the eastern slope, and it should be a chief general of the army." ”

Lin Jue squinted and looked closely, and above the eastern slope between them, a big flag was waving in the wind, with the word 'Li' written on it. Below the flag, a general held a sword and pointed at his feet, as if directing the soldiers to rush and kill.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It should be." The leader must be killed, otherwise it will not be a game. Don't look at us now, we seem to have some small advantages, but the manpower is exhausted, the other side is too numerous, and we are tired and tired. Summon, kill on the slope. ”

This is exactly one of the plans that Lin Jue set before the battle, if he wants to achieve victory, it is not enough to just kill some soldiers of the other side, and it is impossible for his six hundred people to win the victory by killing soldiers. To capture the thief and capture the king, you must kill the opponent's main general in order to make the opponent collapse. The purpose of this battle was not to kill people, but to seize the pass that left the mountain.

The order was handed down, and the formation turned diagonally to the southwest slope to kill. On the slope, the general who commanded the command under the banner of Li Zi was Li Zhidong, the commander of the Ping Army of Ruzhou. The soldiers and horses of the four states are gathered here, and it is actually a question of who is in command, and the result of Li Zhidong and others is to perform their own duties and lead their own troops to defend their own territory. Therefore, the entire mountain pass position is divided into four areas, and where the opponent attacks, the soldiers are responsible for blocking it, which is also a clear way.

The 600 people were first in the defense area of Zhou Quanrong, the commander of the Anji Army in Tangzhou, so Li Zhidong was still watching the play, and in the blink of an eye, he attacked his own defense area, watching his brothers turn on their backs, with heavy casualties, Li Zhidong screamed angrily, and ordered the soldiers around him to block the other party's way and desperately block them. Seeing that the other party showed signs of killing in the direction of Dengzhou's soldiers and horses, Li Zhidong laughed.

"Feng Zaian, this old thing, told you to watch the play. Ning Xiangjun's gang of Wang Eight Lambs didn't have any strength at all. Feng Zaian, this old thing, also won ten taels of silver. Tell the brothers, don't help and let the old thing deal with it on its own. Li Zhidong scolded.

"But my lord, they seem to be coming at us." The deputy commander beside him saw the clue and reminded him.

Only then did Li Zhidong realize that the other party suddenly turned around, and killed him where he was, and scolded angrily: "Why do these people who don't want to die always have trouble with Lao Tzu?" After killing Lao Tzu, so many brothers still refuse to leave. ”

The deputy commander said, "Do you want to avoid it?" They seem to be coming for us. ”

"Avoid a fart! We have lost so much, is it reasonable not to make some money and come back? gave credit to Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu is still not? Tigers don't threaten when we're sick cats. Is my Changping Army so easy to bully? Lai is here not to go? Then they were all killed. Order, kill me! The guard battalion is rushing with Lao Tzu! Li Zhidong shouted.

The deputy commander scratched his head and said, "The other party is very fierce, do you really want to go in person?" ”

Li Zhidong scolded angrily: "Dog, are you afraid of death? If you're afraid of death, go home and eat your mother's milk. On weekdays, one by one, the cowhide blows into the sky, they only have a few hundred people, and our Changping Army has 6,000 people, ten to fight one, are you still afraid of a ball? No matter how verbose it is, Lao Tzu is not emotional. ”

The deputy commander didn't dare to say much, and under Li Zhidong's loud shouting order, the crowd surrounded Lin Jue and the others. Li Zhidong personally went into battle, changed a spear and rushed to the front, the spear danced, the red tassel flashed, and when a palace guard was distracted to deal with the two box soldiers, the spear was like lightning, galloping out, and stabbing the palace guard to the heart.

"Good! Master Li is brave! The surrounding generals and soldiers let out a cheer. Li Zhidong was complacent, standing with a pestle and a gun, looking around, quite a 'who else' momentum.

Li Zhidong's marksmanship is family traditional, and the Li family gun is quite famous. It is precisely with this superb marksmanship that Li Zhidong stands out from the martial arts. rolled around the border town, and made some military exploits, and before the age of forty, he became the commander of the local state army. Although the temper is a little bigger, it is a little worse, but the ability is still a little.

After that, Li Zhidong killed two palace guards in a row, both of which were deadly and extremely vicious. The armor of the guards originally had a good protective effect, but Li Zhidong had a lot of strength, and the spear was handed out to pierce the armor, which was really fierce. Even the formation in front was disrupted by him, and he was almost rushed in by a group of van troops to divide the formation.

"Sun Dayong, go kill him." Witnessing all this, Lin Jue gritted his back molars.

Sun Dayong promised in a deep voice, jumped up and rushed forward.

Li Zhidong was dancing a spear to attack a guard, when suddenly the strong wind in the oblique stab was blowing in his face, and when he turned his head to look, a big fist was enlarged in front of his eyes. Li Zhidong's body flashed sideways, and the spear in his hand swept away. The opponent jumped out of the way, and his body was flexible. Both sides steadied themselves and looked at each other.

"Good skills. It's a pity. Sun Dayong said in a deep voice.

Li Zhidong frowned and said, "What is a pity? ”

Sun Dayong said: "It's a pity that you are going to die." ”

"Fuck your stinking fart, you're the one who died. You gang of thieves, you dare to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, today is your death. My Sun Zhidong is going to rely on your promotion to make a fortune. Sun Zhidong scolded.

"It's useless to talk too much, look at the tricks." Sun Dayong didn't want to delay any longer, so he stopped drinking, his body jumped up, his feet were linked, and he kicked with a whining sound. The people around him thought it was strange that this man had a blade in his hand, but instead of using the blade to cut people, he jumped up and kicked people, isn't this a fool? How did they know that this was Sun Dayong's killer move, his leg kung fu was the kung fu at the bottom of the box, and he moved his legs directly as soon as he came up, which was already the most ferocious trick.

Li Zhidong saw that the other party was menacing, but he was not afraid. This style of play was not a threat to him, because he had a spear in his hand.

The spear shook, turned into a thousand phantoms, and suddenly galloped out, looking for Sun Dayong's chest position in the middle of his body in the air, the largest area. Sun Dayong's feet don't have his own spear commander, and when the spear penetrates his body, he can't kick himself.

Sun Dayong saw it clearly, shouted, slashed at the spear with the long knife in his hand, and his body burst up a foot with the power of the spear. Li Zhidong shook his gun and turned the thorn into a pick, wanting to take advantage of the situation to pick Sun Dayong away. The long knife in Sun Dayong's hand slid on the barrel of the gun, making a piercing grinding sound and sparks flying. The body slid down sharply along the barrel of Li Zhidong's gun, and went straight to Li Zhidong as if he was sitting on a slide.

Li Zhidong was shocked, he never expected this seemingly clumsy man to be so dexterous. Suddenly, he used the barrel of his gun as a slide and went straight to himself. At this moment, Li Zhidong has two choices, one is to withdraw the gun and retreat, and the opponent's kick is bound to fail. But Li Zhidong has never abandoned his weapon when facing the enemy. This gun is also the heirloom of his Li family, and he is waiting to hold the reputation of the Li family's gun in his hand. It is impossible to abandon the gun. Then the only option left is to borrow this kick.

Li Zhidong retreated with one hand, blocking his chest, he thought that the strength of his palm and the strength of his armor could definitely block the opponent's kick. But how did he know that it was not a kick, it was like a sledgehammer falling down, how could he bear it?

Peng's sound, Sun Dayong's kick was like defeat. Li Zhidong snorted and staggered back. A stubborn aura made him want to stabilize his body, but his body didn't listen to him. Fortunately, he had a spear in his hand, and he tried his best to support his body with it.

However, the pain in his chest and abdomen was unbearable, and a fishy hot thing in his throat gushed up, as if it was about to gush out.

"You're a man, I haven't seen anyone who has been kicked by me and can still stand in front of me." Sun Dayong's body fell to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Wow! Burst! Li Zhidong wanted to say two words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood mixed with the debris in his chest and abdomen gushed out. If you slack off on this breath, you can no longer lift it. Blood gushed from his mouth, and in an instant, his flushed face turned white, and then turned gray. The whole person Weiton fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitched a few times, and he died of anger.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they shouted in horror. Someone stepped forward to probe Li Zhidong's snort and exclaimed, "The commander has made your lord dead." Amazing. ”

Lin Jue saw everything in his eyes and shouted loudly: "Your lord will be dead, don't run away quickly." Do you really want to kill them all? ”

The soldiers looked at each other in horror, and they didn't know who shouted, turned around and ran. Suddenly, the Changping army scattered as birds and beasts, turned around and fled, and scattered in all directions. Some of the generals shouted at the restraints, but how to restrain them. Originally, the soldiers were horrified by the other party who came and went, and they were already frightened to see them kill people like chopping melons and vegetables. Li Zhidong is alive, they naturally don't dare to escape, Li Zhidong is dead, everything has lost its restraints, when will they stay if they don't run?

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, the plan to kill the opponent's main general still worked, at least this army of soldiers and horses was dispersed. At that moment, he gave a loud order to attack the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou of the Ningxiang Army on the east side. The rest of the soldiers and horses of the three continents were very shocked when they saw the large-scale rout of the soldiers and horses in Ruzhou, and soon the news came, and they learned that Li Zhidong had been killed by the other party, and the army's spirit had been broken, so the soldiers fled in horror. The other three were alarmed.

Lin Jue also wanted to repeat his old tricks, and ordered everyone to kill Feng Zaian, the commander of the Ningxiang Army in Dengzhou, but Feng Zaian never gave him this opportunity again. As he retreated, he ordered his soldiers to immediately go forward and besiege him, entangling his opponent. After the defeat of the Changping Army, the two armies of Tangzhou and Caizhou no longer followed the responsibility of fragmented defense, and they were killed under the orders of their respective commanders. The inner and outer three layers engulfed Lin Jue and others in it.

The other party's response made Lin Jue's intention to capture the thief and capture the king come to naught. The three box soldiers commanded the troops together, and the box soldiers surrounded Lin Jue and the others in groups, preventing them from moving. Although Lin Jue and the others still caused a lot of damage to the enemy, the number of opponents was really too much, and they couldn't kill them at all. Moreover, the other party began to become smarter, and thousands of spearmen stabbed the palace guards with the advantage of their blades. The three commanders of the Xiang army began to order the archers to release arrows into the middle of the formation, and they had no scruples about the possibility of accidentally injuring the released soldiers.

The situation has changed dramatically. The royal guards began to suffer heavy casualties. The gunmen on the periphery stabbed and injured people from time to time, and the firing of powerful arrows made it even worse. In the chaos, these 600 heroes had already suffered hundreds of casualties in less than a stick of incense, and there were less than 400 people left.

The long battles also exhausted everyone. In the past few days, in order to cope with the pursuers and rush to the road, everyone has hardly been well rested. At this moment, the consequences of physical exhaustion began to appear.

Lin Jue was so anxious that he shouted: "Fireworks! Fireworks! ”

A Lin family guardian escaped from the fireworks, and shot into the sky. The fireworks exploded in the sunset, and the nearby hill immediately responded, and several fireworks burst into the air under the solemn sky.

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived. Kill them all, don't let them escape. Lin Jue shouted loudly.

The crowd also shouted, lifting their spirits and killing more violently. The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, they also saw the fireworks, and when they heard the shouting at this moment, they thought that the other party really had reinforcements arriving. One by one, they were panicked and didn't know what to do.

Feng Zaian and the other three were also taken aback. He Zhen, the commander of the Caizhou Anmin Army, was shocked: "Their reinforcements have arrived, so we have to withdraw." ”

"Where did they get reinforcements? They were chased all the way from the capital to here, and the news sent by Lu Xiang was clear, they only had eight or nine hundred soldiers and horses, and the rest were all family members, women and children and a convoy carrying gold and silver. But I didn't believe it. Feng Zaian said.

"yes, let's see, they won't last long. At this time, I am afraid that the previous efforts will be wasted. The commander of the Anji Army also said.

Several men ordered people to investigate, and at the same time ordered the attack to continue. Sure enough, the so-called rescuers did not appear at all. The soldiers who visited reported that there were no soldiers and horses on the hills on both sides, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

"Damn, it's just a trick to trick the army into intimidating our suspicious soldiers, this Lin Jue is really scheming. Almost deceived Lao Tzu. He Zhen scolded.

"I'm not fooled, Lao He, you are too bold. If I hadn't reminded you, you'd have really run away. Feng Zaian said tauntingly.

He Zhen was speechless and sprinkled his anger on Lin Jue and the others. He commanded sharply: "Kill, kill me." At all costs. Whoever dares to retreat will be killed. ”

After learning that the other party was bluffing, the attack of the soldiers became more violent. The other party obviously couldn't support it, so he came up with such a way to scare people, this is the poor skills of the donkey, and finally struggled in vain.

This is indeed Lin Jue's strategy, and he hopes to disturb the other party's military spirit in this way. Therefore, before the battle, a few men were sent to the surrounding hills, and when they fired fireworks, these people responded, creating an embattled effect of ambushes everywhere. It's best to scare the other side into a rout.

At the beginning of the Battle of Weishui, the children of the Xie family used a bluff to defeat the million-strong army of the former Qin Fujian with a mere 80,000 Beifu troops, relying on disturbing the morale of the army, causing a situation where the wind was rumored and the grass and trees were all soldiers, so that the other party panicked and retreated.

It's a pity that that battle is not as comparable to this battle in many ways, and Lin Jue's method did not work.

The opponent's offensive was fierce, and the situation became more and more sinister, and Lin Jue and the others fell into a bitter battle. Although a large number of box soldiers were killed and injured, the number of the other party was too much, and it was unacceptable for Lin Jue to exchange the price of three or four box soldiers for the lives of a palace guard or the Lin family's guard. Moreover, the other party actually transferred more than 1,000 soldiers to the place where the family dependents lived, and the other party's intention was obvious, it was to attack the family and family baggage in the rear, and this was what Lin Jue was most worried about before the war.

Although the baggage of the chariot and horse families was moved to a secret place in the small hill, and more than 100 people were left behind under such a shortage of manpower. And the last firearms, ammunition, and crossbow arrows were left to protect the man, just to prevent the other side from taking this step. But the other side's move obviously hit its own soft underbelly. No matter what kind of preparations were made, Lin Jue and the others were most worried about the safety of the rear personnel.

Lin Jue's heart was anxious, and he suddenly felt a little powerless. The battle may have been a mistake from the start. He also overestimated his own abilities and his own combat effectiveness. A mere 600 men took the initiative to attack 20,000 soldiers, what an inflated move. The previous series of victories carried me away, and I was obviously a little overwhelmed. Even if the pursuers are approaching and will suffer the death of being attacked from the front and back, they may not be able to attack so rashly. Maybe it should take a little time to plan, and maybe there is something better than the current situation.
