In this battle, the Han army rode like the wind, and passed like the wind, leaving only the corpses of Wu soldiers.

Nearly half of the 5,000 soldiers of Xianyu Danbu suffered casualties, and the remaining 3,000 people shouted and fled desperately.

Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Jiang Wei each led their troops to chase and kill for a while, and they could catch up to the edge of the range of the Wu army's archers, and immediately retreated.

Xian Yu Danbu was able to finally retreat with only a thousand remnants of the army.

On the other hand, the Han army suffered very little damage, but when they feinted and fought, hundreds of Shangyong soldiers were stabbed and slashed.

Immediately, the ambulance soldiers led by Xiang Pet rushed to the battlefield, either on stretchers or on their backs, and quickly carried the wounded off the battlefield. An emergency wounded battalion has been set up in the rear of the formation, and what awaits them will be to deal with them in a timely manner.

And the wounded soldiers of Soochow who couldn't escape lay on the ground and wailed.

Seeing this situation, the generals of the Wu army were filled with righteous indignation and asked for battle.

******

In the Han army's main formation, Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Wu Gou is really vulnerable. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This time it's just a mutual test of the truth. Sun Quan was defeated for a while, but his overall strength was undamaged, and there were still many enemy troops and few of our army. ”

He paused, turned to Guan Yu, and instructed, "Yun Chang, you have to be careful with that next." ”

Guan Yugao didn't move, stroked his long beard, and only said lightly: "Brother, don't worry, the blue-eyed child is about to lose his breath." ”

******

When Sun Quan saw the defeat in the first battle, he first felt a wave of surprise.

Shu Jun, what's going on? Actually showed such a sharp weapon as cavalry at the beginning? In his opinion, cavalry is a great weapon that can determine the outcome of the battle, and it is generally not easily sacrificed.

He looked sideways at the three thousand tiger guards who were accumulating, and said in his heart:

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you just show off your strength, and when your cavalry is exhausted, it will be the time for our tiger guards to attack!"

But at the same time, he was a little impatient.

Not to mention the scattered and fleeing soldiers of Xianyu Danbu, the wounded soldiers who could not escape lay on the ground and wailed, knowing that this kind of wail was extremely demoralizing to the soldiers on his side.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and shouted: "Order, Song Qian, Xie Jing, Li Yi, and Liu A are all on the four, and they want to see if they are alone, 20,000 against 20,000, how else can Liu Bei flank and outflank!" ”

Gan Ning, who was in front of the battle, heard this, secretly bowed his head, and said in his heart:

"The art of war is cloudy: if you double, you will attack. Wu Hou's thinking this time was right. ”

Your own troops are strong and have obvious advantages, so why bother to play any tricks with the Shu army, simple and crude means are the best means.

It must be known that Liu Bei's soldiers are less than 30,000 people, and this time they invested 20,000 forward troops in one fell swoop, and confronted Liu Bei's army head-on.

In a big battle, under the certainty of no victory, if anyone dares to take the lead in taking out all the strength, that is, to light up all the details, and there is no backup to use, then defeat will not be far away.

And Liu Bei set up a crane wing formation, if the whole army did not press the pincer attack, then the formation would lose its meaning; But then again, if the Shu army dares to press the whole army to entrap it, then its 20,000 troops will form a circle to entangle the main force of the Shu army, and the Chinese army will follow in turn, which can either break through each or directly take the Shu army's main formation.

In this way, the victory or defeat will be immediately apparent!

"After all, his own troops are stronger than Liu Bei, if it becomes a war of attrition, Liu Bei will definitely not be an opponent."

Thinking of this, Gan Ning slightly changed his opinion of Wuhou Sun Quan, and said in his heart:

"It seems that after the First World War in Hefei, Wu Hou's art of war has greatly improved."

As the four forward phalanxes of the Wu army were all pressed, the forward positions of the fish scale formation suddenly became vacant.

Sun Quan waved his hand and ordered: "Xu Sheng and Han Dang led the troops to fill the former military positions. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai led their troops to fill the military position. ”

As the herald passed his order, the various formations of the Wu army suddenly moved. All ministries are temporary cooperation, and it is inevitable that there will be some confusion.

Fortunately, Han Dang, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xu Sheng were all generals in the army, and the chaos only lasted for a short time, and then it calmed down.

******

The Han army is in this position.

Seeing the Wu military array advancing together, Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said:

"If it weren't for the crane wing formation, how could Sun Quan take the initiative to attack? It's just that this change of formation, you are waiting for all things to be cautious! ”

Guan Yu smiled coldly and replied, "I'm afraid he won't come!" ”

He immediately waved the command flag in his hand and quickly gave orders:

"Order, the cavalry on both wings retreated one hundred and fifty paces each."

"Fu Wei's Tiger Step Left Army is the first to advance ten steps on the left, and the first to retreat ten steps on the right, and line up in place to meet the enemy!"

"Chen Shibu Tiger Infantry Right Army is ten steps forward on the right, ten steps back on the left, and lined up in place to meet the enemy!"

"Zhang Nannan's Hubu Chinese army marched forward 200 steps to meet the enemy, and lined up to meet the enemy!"

"Wang Pingbu slowly retreated fifty steps in the direction of the right rear, and lined up to meet the enemy!"

For a moment, the heralds rushed to all parts of the battlefield like flowing water.

Even though the Hubu Battalion has been in Shuzhong, it has never accepted Guan Yu's command, and it is not familiar with Guan Yu's tactics.

But Guan Yu's instructions were very simple and clear, and as the heralds delivered the instructions one after another, even if the generals could not understand his intentions, it was not difficult to act according to the order.

At the same time that Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao each led the cavalry out of the battlefield, Fu Wei, Zhang Nan and others began to convey the order of the main general to their phalanx.

At this time, in the Han army's array, in addition to the shouts of the commanders of various departments, only the footsteps of different speeds and slowness of the landing point remained, and the dust that followed in the sky.

After a while, it could be seen from the command platform of the two armies that the four phalanxes of the Han army camp had gradually transformed from the original crane wing array into a huge concave glaive formation.

The Glaive Array, the whole army is arranged in an arc, shaped like a crescent moon, the front line of the moon seems to be weak, but in fact it is hidden and dangerous, and it is used to defend, which can be said to be immovable.

Sun Quan stood high and looked far away, and said angrily: "When the two armies were handed over, Liu Bei actually dared to change the formation!" It's really too big! ”

It must be known that changing formations in battle is an extremely dangerous thing, and if the soldiers fail to comprehend the commander's intentions in time, they will lose their ground in advancing and retreating, and the change of formation is very likely to fail.

In addition, if the enemy seizes the opportunity to fight a wave when the old formation has been lost and the new formation has not been completed, the whole army is very likely to collapse.

The Han army was already at a disadvantage, and dared to change formations in battle, which made Sun Quan feel despised; At the same time, he also desperately wanted to seize the opportunity of the Han army's change of formation to fight a wave, so he bit his silver teeth and shouted:

"Let Luo lead 10,000 people to help, increase the drums, and speed up!"

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

The drums of war thundered across the field.

In the open space three miles wide, the 30,000 troops of the Wu army were lined up in five phalanxes, each phalanx was only a few dozen steps apart, like waves rushing towards the Han army camp in waves, and the huge footsteps were neat and powerful.

From a distance, the spears are dense like a forest, the cold is pressing, and the murderous atmosphere is surging,

Each phalanx has erected a big flag, from left to right in order of "Song", "Xie", "Li", "Liu", representing the name of the main generals of each formation, "Luo" character banner slightly behind, but also quickly catch up.

On the Han army's side, thanks to Guan Yu's precise and superb command, the various units had already completed the formation change cleanly, without dragging the mud and water at all.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Han army all bent their knees and looked forward, waiting for the battle.

Jiang Wei had already led Yu Linwei out of the battlefield at this time, he sat on horseback, saw clearly, and sighed in his heart:

"Without rich command experience and torch-like vision, how can tens of thousands of troops be so commanding? The prince is arrogant, and he really has the capital to be arrogant. ”

After looking at it for a while, I felt that this array was subtle and abnormal, and I couldn't help but sigh again:

"It is rumored that when the swordsmanship is practiced to the extreme, it can not be stagnant, and from then on, the grass, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords, and no move is better than a move. The prince has fought a lifetime of battles, although he also had defeats when he was young, but he is getting older and stronger, from the partial offensive crane wing array, to the partial defensive glaive array, the switching between the formations is free, it is natural, and the straight people are breathtaking! ”

He knew that there was nothing to do with the cavalry for a while, so he cheered up, carefully observed and studied, and tried to comprehend the essence of Guan Yu's use of soldiers.

By this time, the two armies had approached to only thirty paces.
