Chapter 546: The Shu army attacked
However, such a dense rain of arrows still brought blood flowers after falling into the Wu army's array.
Some of the soldiers who were shot were shot in the vital point, and after screaming, they fell to the ground; Some of them were lucky, although they were shot, but they didn't hit the vital point, but only suffered minor injuries, so they just snorted in pain, then pulled out the arrow, and continued to move on......
These soldiers are carefully selected elites, and they can be selected to participate in the first round of attacks on the enemy, so they are naturally ready to die in battle.
Although this round of arrow rain of the Jingnan army has brought them some casualties, these casualties are only insignificant casualties for the five thousand soldiers, and they are not enough to stop their advance.
"Keep going! Don't stay! ”
Covered in heavy armor, Mi Zhicheng, who was standing in the middle of the queue, shouted, and the soldiers of the Wu army continued to move forward.
Mi Zhicheng is also a member of the Wu army, and his archery skills are especially famous in the Wu army, and Zhu Jin's lance method is also known as the army.
But what no one knows is that in addition to being good at archery, Mi Zhicheng is also good at managing the army.
The 5,000-strong army under his command was carefully trained by him, and the officers all graduated from military academies and had passed the test of actual combat in the army, and military discipline was very strict.
Not to mention that this round of arrow rain of the Jingnan army only caused extremely minor casualties to the Wu army, it was even a greater casualty, and it could not shake the formation of this Wu army.
Next, the Jingnan army fired two more rounds of arrows, causing more casualties to the Wu army, but the Wu soldiers continued to advance as if they were numb.
Their pace was still so steady, still unhurried, as if the fallen soldiers and the overwhelming rain of arrows could not cause them to waver in the slightest.
The faces of those soldiers were even more imposing and resolute, except for the soldiers who were hit by arrows from time to time to let out a miserable scream, none of the other soldiers made a sound at will.
This silent might, on the contrary, makes the enemy feel more stressed and more frozen than those armies who like to howl, as if it makes people breathless.
On the battlefield of "knock, knock, knock......, knock, knock", in addition to the sound of war drums, the heaviest thing is the neat footsteps.
The Wu army gradually approached, although it was only an army of 5,000 people, but the movement they caused was like the earth shaking the mountains, which made people feel awe.
"Such an army is really an iron army!" In the Jingnan Army, Gao Jichang, Ni Kefu and others couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.
If it is an ordinary army, after being hit by the overwhelming rain of arrows from the enemy, even if there is no wavering and confusion in the future, they can't help but speed up the pace of marching, in order to seek to fight the enemy army as soon as possible.
However, the Wu army in front of him was still maintaining a strict formation and slowly moving forward.
With such a strict formation and such strict military discipline, not only Gao Jichang was surprised, but also those Jingnan soldiers felt uneasy in their hearts.
"Don't these enemy troops feel afraid? Or are they all a bunch of fools who don't know the fear of death? Many people wondered in their hearts.
Unfortunately, there was no one to answer their questions.
When the Wu army advanced twenty steps in front of the Jingnan army, the Jingnan army finally couldn't stand the pressure and rushed towards the Wu army with a roar, and the two sides immediately fought together.
However, as soon as the two armies clashed, the Wu army showed their terrifying scene.
In the battle array, the role of the queue is huge.
There is a world of difference between an organized army and a chaotic army.
Although the Wu army moved from their own formation to nearly two miles to come here, and was hit by a rain of arrows from the enemy in the middle, and at the same time faced the unfavorable situation of attacking the enemy army from the back, their formation remained intact.
The Jingnan army's training level was not as good as that of the Wu army, but now they took the initiative to rush up, although they only rushed out of more than ten steps, but their formation was chaotic.
As a result, it was not surprising that under the attack of the Wu army, these Jingnan troops suffered heavy losses, and it did not take long for them to retreat.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Behind, Kou Yanqing couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
After Liu Yan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, he also said coldly: "Although the strength of the Wu army is a bit unexpected, but the Jingnan army obviously stayed, otherwise it would not have been defeated so quickly!" It seems that Gao Jichang still wants to preserve his strength! ”
Kou Yanqing nodded, looking a little helpless.
Although he was able to force Gao Jichang to put his army ahead of the Liang army, Gao Jichang was obviously a little unable to work now, and he couldn't do anything about Gao Jichang.
"General Liu, send a signal to Wang Zongshou and let the Shu army move!" Kou Yanqing said.
"Okay, let's do it!" As he spoke, Liu Yan turned around and nodded to the herald.
The herald immediately drew his arrows and fired them into the sky.
According to the agreement, after determining that the main direction of attack of the Wu army was the Liang army, the Shu army should move quickly and crush the left flank of the Wu army as quickly as possible.
If not, then put pressure on Wu Jun as much as possible to reduce the burden on Liang Jun's side.
After the arrow rose into the sky, Kou Yanqing said to Liu Yan: "Gao Jichang is unreliable after all, and we still have to go up at a critical time." Now is not the time to use the Long Xiang Army, but it is also necessary to suppress the momentum of the Wu Army, otherwise, if the Wu Army goes crazy, no one will be able to stop it! ”
If an army can win one victory after another, then their momentum will also increase, and at this time, they may even defeat opponents who are far superior to them.
Now that the Wu army has just entered the battle, it has easily defeated the Jingnan army, if the momentum of the Wu army is not suppressed, the next battle will not be easy to fight.
Liu Cheng naturally understood this truth, so he said without hesitation: "Then let General Wang Ke lead the troops, many of the soldiers under his command are veterans who have fought for many years and are good at fighting tough battles!" ”
Kou Yanqing nodded and didn't say anything.
Soon, Wang Ke led the Liang army forward and prepared to engage the Wu army; At the same time, other Liang troops also began to outflank and try to besiege this Wu army, which dared to penetrate deep into the enemy formation.
Seeing this, Mi Zhicheng even ordered the large array to retreat slightly to avoid the enemy's attempt to outflank its two flanks.
……
When Mi Zhicheng led his troops to attack the left flank of the coalition army, on the right flank of the coalition army, Wang Zongshou was also sitting on his horse, quietly watching the battle situation on the left flank.
"Your Highness, the Liang army has already fired arrows, hoping that we will send troops to attack the left flank of the enemy, I don't know ......" Zhao Ben reminded in a low voice.
"Wait!" Wang Zongshou said in a deep voice.
Zhao Ben was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Your Highness, although it is said that it is beneficial for us to weaken Liang Jun with the help of Wu Jun's hand, but after all, we have an agreement with Liang Jun, so we can't do too much!" ”
"Overdone?" Wang Zongshou laughed: "How can it be regarded as overdone?" This king is just waiting for the right time! ”
Wei Qun hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder what time His Highness is waiting for?" ”
Wang Zongshou said: "You see, although the right flank of the enemy army took the lead in launching an attack on the left flank of our army, they only dispatched 5,000 troops, which shows that they still have spare strength; So Ben decided to wait a little longer! ”
Wei Qun and the others nodded, thinking in their hearts: "It seems that His Highness has made up his mind to use the hands of Wu Jun to weaken the Liang army!" ”
Thinking so in their hearts, they did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.
In the final analysis, Shu Jun and Liang Jun only got together temporarily, and they didn't have any friendship with each other.
Moreover, the Liang State relied on the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and looked down on the Shu State, a country that claimed to be the emperor; Now that they can see the Liang army deflated, the generals of the Shu army are not happy in their hearts.
At the same time, in the Wu army's main formation, seeing that the Shu army did not attack immediately, Wang Maozhang was ready to take the initiative to attack.
After all, Mi Zhicheng's offensive on the right flank can only last for a short time, and after a long time, the enemy may see something.
Therefore, with Wang Maozhang's order, the left flank of the Wu army also had war drums.
Then, the 10,000-strong army slowly left the hillside and attacked the Shu army on the left flank of the enemy.
"The enemy actually took the initiative to attack our army?" Wang Zongshou was surprised and delighted.
He originally thought that he needed to send troops to attack the slope defended by the enemy, although the hillside was not steep, but after all, the Wu army had a condescending advantage, and as the attacking side, the Shu army would still suffer a lot.
"Pass the order, let the troops go out, and prepare to attack the enemy army!" Wang Zongshou immediately ordered.
At this time, Wei Qun and Zhao Ben asked with some surprise: "Your Highness, since the enemy army took the initiative to attack our army, why didn't our army stay here and wait for the enemy to attack with this geographical advantage?" ”
Wang Zongshou said with a smile: "The enemy army has taken the initiative to attack, if our army is still hiding on the hillside and using the advantage of geography to deal with the Wu army, then even if we win, there is nothing to praise!" ”
Wei Qun and the others were stunned, they glanced at each other, and were about to continue persuasion.
At this time, Wang Zongshou said again: "Okay, let's get ready to attack!" Although the enemy army has attacked, if our army blindly defends, how can it break the enemy? Only by attacking can we crush the arrogance of the enemy army and boost the morale of our army in one fell swoop! ”
Wei Qun and the others only promised and didn't say more.
Under Wang Zongshou's order, the Shu army finally dispatched and began to leave the main formation and move towards the opposite Wu army.
Seeing this situation, Wang Maozhang on the Wu army's side couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Wang Zongshou didn't choose to rely on the geographical advantage to defend, God really helped me!"
No wonder he was so excited, if the Shu army relied on the geographical advantages of the formation to defend with all its might, the Wu army would face the unfavorable situation of attacking the enemy army; More importantly, the movement of the enemy's troops behind the hillside, which was difficult for the Wu army to detect, was unfavorable to the Wu army. 10
