Chapter 575: Dying Struggle
"The left wing is at the top, the right wing is shrinking!" Li Xinchen stood on the hillside with his sword and ordered in a deep voice.
Under Wei Shoubu was a near-perfect defensive formation, or in other words, a large circular formation, guarding the Chinese army in the center. It can be said that this is indeed the most suitable lineup under heavy encirclement, because only in this way can we ensure that the Chinese army will always be at the farthest distance of the enemy's crossbowmen in all directions, and ensure the safety of the Chinese army as much as possible.
Of course, such a seemingly watertight circular formation also has the biggest drawback, that is, it is impossible to concentrate the defense forces in one direction, and any slight movement of troops may cause a chain collapse on the front or even the final collapse of the entire front.
Obviously, Wei Shou also knew that Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen were not easy characters to deal with, so he simply adopted this method and did not give Li Xinchen a chance to find a flaw in his formation. However, Wei Shou didn't take into account that such a formation looked like a king eight shells, but in fact, there were hidden dangers everywhere.
"Kill!" Chen Zhishen took the lead and rushed directly towards the enemy's array. Li Xinchen asked Li Xun, who was on the right flank, to shrink his forces, and at the same time transferred all the soldiers and horses on the right flank to Chen Zhishen on the left flank, and used Chen Zhishen as the spearhead to attack directly towards a point in the enemy's array.
Li Xinchen wanted to see if it was Wei Shou's spread out and the shield that was very uniform everywhere was powerful, or whether it was his own spear that concentrated all his strength and only attacked in one place.
"Kill!" The shield in Chen Zhishen's hand slammed into the two big shields in front of him, and the Northern Zhou soldiers behind the shields gritted their teeth and reached out to resist the shield at the same time. Chen Zhishen roared and continued to exert force, the shield rubbed against each other, making a tooth-aching sound.
The same situation also happened nearby, a soldier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and a soldier of the Southern Chen collided with each other, the shields collided, and the swords and guns collided. Countless arrows whizzed over the heads of the staggered crowd, cutting off the path of the soldiers behind.
"Pro-Guard, come with so-and-so!" Wei Shou also saw through Li Xinchen's intentions, hurriedly drew his saber, raised his shield and took the lead to rush forward. And the guards behind him also agreed and followed Wei Shou closely.
Li Xinchen didn't use any surprise weapons this time, and the situation in front of him didn't allow him to use any other surprise tactics. In this small battlefield, if you want to break this enemy army as soon as possible, then it is the best choice to fight hard.
Sometimes the war is so cruel and direct, and the competition is the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides, and whoever can't support it first will naturally be unlucky.
"Kill!" Chen Zhishen stiffly knocked over a Northern Zhou soldier in front of him, and his combat boots stepped heavily on the chest of the Northern Zhou soldier, not looking at the enemy who let out a scream, and rushed straight towards several Northern Zhou spearmen not far away.
"Kill!" The spearmen of the Northern Circumference were not afraid, and at the same time raised their spears to meet the battle.
"Keep up!" Several Southern Chen generals and battle masters rushed in after Chen Zhishen, and the window that was originally just one person passing through was constantly enlarged, and the Northern Zhou soldiers suddenly retreated to both sides. More Nan Chen soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to rush up, and the entire defense line suddenly crumbled.
In one aspect alone, the number of soldiers and horses in the Northern Zhou army was far less than the number of Southern Chen soldiers gathered together.
"Chen Zhishen!" Wei Shou rushed over with a knife, just in time to see Chen Zhishen's figure in front of him. Chen Zhishen didn't seem to notice Wei Shou, but calmly split a Northern Zhou general in half and cut off the head casually, only then did he raise his head, just in time to see Wei Shou's gaze that was almost about to breathe fire, and couldn't help grinning.
Wei Shou pushed away the guards in front of him: "Chen Zhishen, a certain has already come up with the guards, do you still think that you have the ability to completely defeat us?" ”
There was already a lot of blood splattered on his face, Chen Zhishen licked his lips and sneered: "Can I defeat you, that's not something that can be decided, you go and ask my general." ”
After a pause, Chen Zhishen immediately raised the axe in his hand: "But now I am confident that I can defeat you!" ”
Before the words fell, Chen Zhishen's feet, which had already stopped, sped up, roared, and rushed directly towards Wei Shou!
Wei Shou secretly screamed badly, and quickly took two steps back, while Chen Zhishen had already rushed to Wei Shou's side in three steps and two steps, and several of Wei Shou's personal guards hurriedly stepped up.
"Stop him!" Wei Shou shouted anxiously. He saw the bravery of Chen Zhishen, so Wei Shou didn't have much confidence in whether he could take down Chen Zhishen, and more importantly, Chen Zhishen was just a general who charged into the enemy's battle, and it was Li Xinchen who really commanded the battle in the back.
If Wei Shou defeated Chen Zhishen, it would only be a demoralization of the enemy, but if Wei Shou was defeated in the hands of Chen Zhishen, I am afraid it would not be such a simple problem, and this Northern Zhou army would have to collapse.
"Shaft, where to go!" Chen Zhishen snorted, to be honest, he has always regarded himself as Xiao Maha's descendant, and Xiao Maha's famous battle is that the twelve horsemen rushed straight to the Chinese army, and the thief captured the king first.
However, in this battle, Chen Zhishen had already watched Wei Shou leave in front of his eyes twice, how could he not be angry in his heart?
"Kill!" Wei Shou's guards also gritted their teeth and came up, if Chen Zhishen caught up with Wei Shou under their noses, then everyone's guards didn't have to be the guards.
"General Dangkou ordered, the left flank rushed to the depth!" One of the heralds yelled.
Chen Zhishen was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the chaotic battle situation in front of him, the flags of both sides were dancing chaotically, but Chen Zhishen still saw that he was a little tired. Now Wei Shou was retreating to the edge of this large array with his personal guards.
Obviously, Wei Shou wanted to lure Chen Zhishen towards the edge of the big array, so he wanted to take this opportunity to dredge out the "flood beast" that rushed into the big array. And Li Xinchen obviously saw through Wei Shou's plan, and simply ordered Chen Zhishen to continue to move forward.
With a wave of his hand hatefully, Chen Zhishen said very simply: "Kill!" ”
Although he really wanted to break Wei Shou's body into ten thousand pieces, he also knew that now was not the time, and the main thing at the moment was to completely smash the turtle shell in front of him.
Li Xinchen waved his hand, the banner turned, and the originally contracted right wing opened again, rushing directly along the enemy's large array towards the opposite position of Chen Zhishen.
"Let's go!" Li Xinchen looked at Pei Zilie, and Pei Zilie bowed slightly at him.
The Chinese army and the guards have been prepared, and they are following in the footsteps of Li Xinchen.
Wei Shou looked at Chen Zhishen's flag in surprise and suddenly turned to the side, getting farther and farther away from him. On the other side, there was also a sound of fighting in the Northern Zhou army array.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Wei Shou's face turned pale, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
