The wind was blowing, carrying the water vapor of Poyang Lake, so that the soldiers of the two armies standing in the sun felt the freshness that was different from the scorching heat. Unlike the wind-blown dusty atmosphere of the north, when the cool lake breeze sweeps across the plain of the battlefield, the soil on the ground is heavy and wind-streaked, and only the grass that grows on the ground moves.www.biquge.info It was a thin bud that had just grown, and it didn't reach the surface of the soldier's feet, and it was so soft that it made people feel a little beautiful.

However, no one appreciates this beauty at the moment, from soldiers to generals, everyone is staring straight at the other side, waiting for the bloody moment to come. Maybe he would have been wounded or killed in that sword exchange, but no one retreated. Both sides are fighting for their own ideals and for their future lives.

"Lord Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, please answer before the general Charong battle!" The sound of drums sounded in Liu Xuanjun's formation, and a small colonel with a loud voice rushed out and shouted towards the opposite Charong army.

The so-called pre-battle answer is also a form of psychological warfare. I don't know when it started, in short, it was to explain the righteousness of one's side, belittle the other party's motives, and damage the morale of the other party.

People like to be justified, and even if you want to kill, you have to have a proper reason. It is said that real villains are better than hypocrites, but this is just talk. In this world, real villains will never see tomorrow, and hypocrites can often live better. Although it was a firefight between the two forces for turf, whether it was Cha Rong or Liu Xuan, they had to put a coat of benevolence on the outside of their interests, and they had to use noble words like benevolence and righteousness to impress the soldiers who followed them.

However, this requires the opponent to answer in front of the formation, which is also a provocation. If the party being asked refuses to answer, it will often be regarded as weak-minded and timid, which will greatly boost the morale of the provocative party and reduce the fighting spirit of the other party. War is not just a battle of swords and guns. The de facto battle began from the moment the conversation began.

Corresponding to the shouts of Liu Xuanjun's side, Cha Rong rode out of his formation and walked to a place forty feet in front of the formation to stand. "Yuzhang is too guarded here, where is Liu Xuan'er?" Charong sneered contemptuously. Although his name is not right, but at this moment he is announcing his status in front of everyone. As the leader of the Futu Sect and eloquent, Cha Rong knew very well the purpose of answering before the battle, and he exalted himself as much as possible and belittled the other party as much as possible.

"Drink, it's already Yuzhang too guarded. I don't know who canonized your official position. Liu Xuan came out of the formation and said coldly and mockingly: "If it is the imperial court, I am afraid that the Yuzhang Taishou appointed by the Han court is Zhu Hao who was killed by you." If you say that you are a powerful person, then it seems that I, the assassin of Yangzhou, did not appoint you to take on any official position. ”

"Hehe, those who obey the orders of the powerful are just weak people who have no strength. Lord Liu, my strength is stronger than you now. Why should I obey you? Cha Rong replied disdainfully: "The Han family is in chaos, as long as I don't know the emperor's court, it can't control me." As long as I have the strength, what do I want to do? Do county guards, assassins, and governors still need to be appointed? The land of the world can only be defended by the strong and strong. Lord Liu Xuan, there is no need to say any more nice words, the battle between you and me today is just a battle between two forces. If we want to talk about injustice, you and I are both unjust. Cha Rong said very frankly.

"Hehe, then don't talk about legal matters. Charong, you first voted for me and then turned against me, this is an unrighteous betrayal. Maybe you still want to kill me and seize my troops, just like you did to Zhao Yu, Xue Li, and Zhu Hao? Liu Miao is no longer entangled with Cha Rong on the same issue, he directly points to the problem that Cha Rong is most afraid of.

"Is it a betrayal? Good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers are masters. I wanted to follow you, but unfortunately I found out that you were not a good master. Cha Rong ignored Liu Xuan's pointing behind him and attacked Liu Xuan's words with all his might.

"Is that so? Then we don't have much to say. Liu Xuan deliberately pretended to be helpless and shook his head, turned back to the formation, and said loudly to his subordinates: "Cha Rong opposite the soldiers is an unrighteous villain who can easily kill even his own friends. Now he has betrayed us again, trying to stab us in the back, trying to take over our city and leave us homeless. He is a traitor, a vile and shameless person. Soldiers, take up your weapons and slay the enemy with me. "Since you can't suppress the morale of the other party verbally, you can only boost the morale of your side by encouraging your own people. Liu Xuan's hand suddenly aroused the momentum of his soldiers, making them have a trace of hatred for the enemy.

"Oh!" The soldiers of Liu Xuanjun let out a low cry, and they advanced with spears in hand to the rousing drums behind the battle.

Cha Rong naturally knew about Liu Xuanjun's actions on the other side. After returning to the battle, he also began to mobilize his army: "All the believers of Futu, the enemy on the other side intends to take away our new homeland, Yuzhang, and they want us to become homeless wanderers again. We cannot remain silent about the actions of such bandits. Since they want swords to decide where the final city will belong, they will let our blood be immortalized in a burst of cold light. The Buddha of Heaven is a warrior who will bless the apologetics. Come on, warriors of the Floating Massacre. Let's drive these devil-represented enemies back to hell. The lotus flower of the pure world will bloom because of your bravery. ”

Cha Rong shouted loudly, his words were rather vague, but for the group of disciples under him who knew all about the teachings of Futu, his words depicted a future existence. He grasped the thoughts of these people tightly.

The cultists of Futu did not make a sound like the enemy on the other side. They were just silent, secretly gathering the strength of their bodies to advance to the beat of drums behind them.

The drums of the two armies rang out on the land at the same time, and the formations on both sides grew from far to near at the same time, gradually reaching the point where they were about to intersect. If Liu Xuanjun's crane wing array is like a mouth with sharp teeth, then the Quartet of Charong Army is like a huge but highly poisonous dough cake, and it is impossible to tell which is better or worse. Until the final outcome of the battle is revealed, no one can say whether the sharp teeth are more powerful or the poison on the square cake is stronger.

The first to come into contact with the Zharong military array were the two wings of Liu Xuanjun's army. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, Zhang Ying and Sun Shao, they turned into two sharp swords and pierced straight through the corner of the quadrangle. They were all pikemen infantry in Liu Xuan's army, and with good training and neat formation, they held a spear flat to pierce the enemy in front of them. Although the Charong army had shields to defend against pikemen, these shield armor soldiers were placed in front of the quadrangular formation, which did not have much effect on the left and right flanking attacks of Liu Xuanjun's crane wing array. Soon, the quadrangle of the Charong army was cut off two small corners by Liu Xuanjun's sharp teeth.

"Well, Zhang Ying and Sun Shao are doing a good job! Mr. General, I don't think the cavalry is going to be released? Seeing that the battle was progressing relatively smoothly, Liu Miao's face also showed a happy smile. Although the Charong army has nearly twice as many soldiers and horses as him, Liu Miao always firmly believes that the side with more soldiers and horses may not have higher combat power. Do you think it's not you, the minority, who is pressing and beating the majority of the other party?

"My lord, although I don't know how to march and set up a formation. But I don't think it's a good thing to rush forward at the moment. Xu Shao shook his head and said lightly.

"How?" Liu Miao felt very strange.

"My lord, what do you think would normally be lined up behind the shield soldiers?" Xu Shao asked without answering.

"It's either a spear or a bow and arrow, and it's impossible to have a close-quarters class behind Qiqi's shield anyway." Liu Miao replied casually. As soon as these words came out, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly understood something: "Are you saying that our two wings can't judge whether we can stand the upper hand until we have withstood the attack of the enemy's bow and arrow?" He knew that the Charong army lacked spears and had many bows and arrows.

"Exactly." Xu Shao nodded lightly: "When our two wings do not completely gain the upper hand, we feel that we can't release the cavalry of our Chinese army." That's the power we give to the other side for the final blow. ”

"Since it's the final blow, it's the one that should be kept to beat the water dogs." Liu Miao nodded and smiled very secretly: "Actually, I have already prepared the bow and arrow to deal with them. ”

"Oh? Then I'll see. Although he said this, Xu Shao did not look surprised at all.

At this moment, the battle situation has become extremely fierce. When the two wings of the Charong army's quadrangular array were subtracted and advanced inward a lot under the command of Zhang Ying and Sun Shao, the counterattack from the Charong army's formation began. Countless arrows were shot into the sky by the soldiers with bows and arrows, and after the strength of the arrows reached its peak, they fell straight down like a falling epidemic, and soon disappeared into the two wings stretched out by Liu Xianjun.

This attack has a name called "projectile", and it mainly uses the trajectory of the curve to deal with enemies hidden behind the shield. Although the two armies were close to each other at the moment, and Liu Xuanjun did not have a shield column composed of a large number of shield armor soldiers on his side, the bows and arrows shot by the archers of the Charong army who launched an attack in the formation had to bypass the defense of the shield armor soldiers in his own formation.

Arrows rain down from the sky. The screams began, and under the blow of the rain of arrows, Liu Xuanjun's soldiers fell. Although it was not a dense phalanx to deal with the enemy's arrow rain, so that the losses on their side were not too large, but for Liu Xuanjun, who was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, this burst of projectile attacks also made them quite painful.

"Fight back!" Sun Shao shouted loudly. He began to control the right flank of the army in a line, as if Fei Liao had flattened his wings. Perhaps seeing Sun Shao's actions, Zhang Ying, who was in charge of the left flank, also responded by listing the team as a word, all facing the side of the Charong army with his own front.

"Why do they want to be together?" Cha Rong looked at the other party's newly changed formation and said suspiciously, and then he became happy again: "If that's the case, it's a good thing for us." Our formation is thick enough to break the opponent's teeth. Cha Rong thought excitedly, and in front of his eyes, it seemed that Liu Xianjun's two wings were annihilated by his own sea of people because they were trapped in his solid and heavy phalanx, which was too beautiful for him.

However, what is beautiful in the imagination is always difficult to achieve in reality. When Cha Rongjun thought that the other party was going to rush straight over with a spear to encircle his phalanx, a bowstring plucking sound that surprised him sounded from the formation of Liu Xuanjun's two wings. A wave of arrows of the same size as the bows and arrows fired by the Charong army were clouded like locusts coming from the sky, and soon sank into the center of the Charong army.

Because the phalanx laid out by the Charong army was more dense than that of the crane wing array of Liu Xuan's army. Liu Xuanjun's return fire with a rain of arrows this time caused the Charong army to lose at least 2,000 people, causing a small panic in the formation of the Charong army. After all, the phalanx of the Charong army can only play its role if it stands densely. At the moment, when its strength has been hit to a certain extent, if the formation is not made more dense, then the broken formation will become useless.

I had no choice but to quickly adjust the formation. As a result, the Charong army acted quickly.

But at this moment, the drumbeat in Liu Miao's army changed, and it became urgent, as if giving some order.

The pikemen on both flanks of Liu's army spread out, stretching their original formation. A crossbow poked its head out of the open gap, and behind it was the crossbowman's thick nasal voice.

The drums in Liu Xuanjun's formation became more and more dense, and gradually became one. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, a drum beat that fell at the same time, causing the whole earth to faintly vibrate and hum.

"Crossbowmen, shoot!" Hearing this sounding drum, Zhang Ying on the left and Sun Shao on the right shouted at the same time and gave the order to attack.

"Bang...... Boom...... Boom! At the same time, Liu Xiangjun's crossbowman released the string of the crossbow at the waist in his hand. The huge force made the arrows on the crossbow machine fly straight out, like a straight line, flying straight towards the Charong army lined up with shield armor. The iron arrows with strong piercing power directly pierced the shields held by the shield armor soldiers of the Charong Army, opening blood holes in their bodies one after another.

"How can there be such a powerful crossbow?" With puzzlement and pain all over his body, the shield armor soldiers who had arranged the two wings of the Charong army fell with wide eyes in the screams. At the moment of their fall, they seemed to see the enemy crossbowmen quickly withdraw after a wave of attacks, giving way to the short infantry hidden behind them, which were used for close combat.

"Kill!" The short infantry of Liu Xuanjun's short infantry tore at the screams of their throats. After the shield armor array used to protect the formation of the Charong army was broken by the strong crossbow, they ran quickly, brandished the big sword in their hands, and the long sword rushed into the camp of the Charong army.

"What should I do?" Seeing the continuous expansion of the melee in his formation, his short soldiers were completely unable to resist the attack of the opponent's short soldiers, and he couldn't help frowning tightly. At the beginning, in order to strengthen the frontal formation, he mostly arranged his most trusted Futu sect members in the front, and handed over his flank to the Xuzhou soldiers who were coerced by him. He originally thought that this was foolproof, but he didn't want the current Xuzhou soldiers to be so unbeaten, and after a while, he actually messed up his formation.

"Forget it, let's return the soldiers and horses in front. If the two sides are chaotic by them, no matter how strong the front is, they will be captured by the other party. Charong, who had never commanded a big battle, thought as a matter of course. He looked back at the commander beside him and asked him to beat the drums of the front and retreat.

"Knock...... Knock ......" the drums of the Charong army sounded long. Under its orders, the front of the Charong army began to turn back and retreat.

"They're starting to turn around." Seeing the retreat of the Charong army, Liu Xuan, who had been staying in the middle of the battle, couldn't help but show a smile on his face, "Sir, ...... you think now?" Although Xu Shao himself said that he didn't know anything about military affairs, Liu Shao would still ask Xu Shao's opinion whenever he encountered any problems.

"The enemy's front line is not chaotic enough." Xu Shao still shook his head slightly.

"Well, I see." Liu Miao nodded and said, he turned around and ordered: "The infantry in the middle formation advances!" Half a moment after contact with the enemy, the cavalry quickly attacked and broke through the enemy's bottom formation! ”

"Understood." The military commander next to him answered loudly. He then asked the drummer to give orders to the soldiers in the middle with the sound of drums.

"Kill!" Liu Xuanjun's mid-line advanced amid the shouts of the sky. They quickly but not violently ran towards the formation of the Charong army, and soon rushed into the front line of the Charong army and engaged them together. This creates an even more chaotic battlefield.

The duel between the sword and the sword, the battle between strength and blood. When Liu Xuanjun's three formations were completely in contact with Charong's army, the restraint of all formations and the planning of all strategies became less important. Soldiers and soldiers are divided into life and death in battle. They use their strength, skill, skill, and wisdom to fight each other, and will not hesitate to kill the enemy in front of them as their first priority.

Because they clearly understand that their own people are just numbers in the eyes of those generals. No general will change his plan because he will know the life of a small soldier, and if he wants to survive well in such a melee, he must kill the enemy in front of him, otherwise he will die in the end. In order not to die, in order to be able to achieve their future dreams in advance, whether it is the soldiers of the Charong Army who take the Futu doctrine as their spiritual connection, or the soldiers in Liu Xuan's army who can live a good life by relying on meritorious service, they all sacrifice their lives and forget to die.

"Alas! It's a complete mess. Cha Rong let out a long sigh helplessly, he had no control over the current battle situation at all. Except for the rear where he was a little more stable, in other places, both the generals who commanded the troops and the lowest-ranking minions fought only by their own instincts. Even if a new combat order was issued from their own side, they would not be able to carry it out at all. Because they have enemies in front of them, left and right.

"What to do? At the moment, it seems that there is only one to one life for life. Cha Rong thought to himself, and his face was slightly better. He clearly understood that if the battle situation in front of him was really a one-to-one fight, then the hope of victory on his side was still quite big, after all, he had 20,000 soldiers at first glance, and Liu Miao on the opposite side only had 10,000.

Thinking of this, he smiled. It's just that the smile didn't last long on the face before it became stiff. For he faintly heard the rumbling of horses' hooves.

"Yes...... Is it cavalry? "There was a bit of panic at first glance. He knew what a nightmare it was to encounter a cavalry on such flat ground.

Although there were many soldiers in the Charong army, and their strength completely surpassed that of Liu Xuan, there was not a single cavalry in his army. Although Liu Xuan's cavalry was there, it was very small, only 500 people. As for the newly rising Sun Cejun, the number of cavalry was slightly higher, about 1,500 people. However, because the assault power of the cavalry was difficult for the infantry to resist, Sun Cejun could easily defeat Liu Xuan in a small battle.

At this moment, Liu Xuan had five hundred cavalry, but Cha Rong did not even have a single cavalry. In the melee, Cha Rong naturally can't guarantee that his middle formation will not be broken by the other party.

So what to do? Cha Rong thought of one point, that is, to move his middle formation backwards and raise the back formation to three as his own shield.

If you think of it, you will do it, and in such a critical situation, Cha Rong doesn't want to expose herself to any danger because of being too slow. So, he quickly gave the order and quickly let the army that he could still control move. He hurried to adjust the formation before the opposing cavalry arrived.

It's just that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. The more Cha Rong wanted to quickly adjust the formation, the more difficult it was to adjust the formation. Because Charong did not have any experience in operational command. His decision to move his position back to keep him safe was the right one, but he gave the wrong order.

In battle, especially in a melee where there is no distinction between the good and the bad, the commander often can't turn his back to others and retreat, which is definitely a major blow to the entire army, and it is easy to be attacked by enemy rumors. This would have been a mistake that no calm and somewhat level general would have made. But now Charong is ......

"Where Charong wants to escape, he can't beat us!" Cha Rong's erroneous order was seen by the sudden attack of Tai Shi Ci, who felt that this was a weakness that the enemy could exploit, so he made his soldiers shout loudly.

Although five hundred cavalry was not much, the sound of so many people shouting at the same time was enough for everyone on the battlefield to hear. Everyone looked up: not really! Cha Rong's handsome banner is slowly retreating, and it is easy to think that he is retreating, running away.

"It seems to be true, Charong is really retreating!" Knowing this, everyone had different reactions because the two sides belonged to two different camps: Liu Xuanjun's side saw that the momentum was high, and his combat effectiveness suddenly increased a lot. On the side of Charongjun, however, they were frustrated, and almost immediately lost their will to fight.

"Now that the leaders have fled, what are we still doing here?" The same thought sprung up in the hearts of all the Charong troops, and they all thought of retreating, even the Futu cultists who had been the most loyal to Charong. Although they usually did not show any dissatisfaction with Charong after the Great Purge, and they no longer said any rumors, as a group of more knowledgeable people, their suspicions of Charong secretly expanded. They no longer have the idea of living and dying together. The reason why they are still here is only because there is no reason to leave.

In the end, under the erroneous orders of Charong himself, under the rumors of Liu Xuanjun, and under the negative thoughts of the soldiers of Charong, the entire army of Charong was inevitably defeated. They staged a race on the great plain: the Charong army ran as fast as they could, throwing away their weapons and armor one by one, and they wanted nothing; Liu Xuanjun chased after him desperately, and saw that the lone Charong army soldier rushed forward like a vicious wolf, and without saying a word, he raised his knife and killed the enemy in front of him who only knew how to beg for mercy, and then chased after him again.

In this life-and-death pursuit, Liu Xianjun ran the fastest, and the fiercest chase was Tai Shici's cavalry troops. They caught up with the Charong army on four legs and got two legs. They pierced into the middle of the Charong army like a sharp knife, quickly broke through, and directly connected to the tail of the Charong team.

"Break away! Donglai Tai Shi Ci is here! "Tai Shici's horse is slightly better than the horse of the ordinary cavalry, so naturally he runs in front of the middle cavalry. Seeing that he was about to catch up with Charong, he couldn't help but shout excitedly. He was a spearman, but his bowing skills were not ordinary. About eighty paces away from Charong, he raised his horse's bow, drew the string in the shape of a full moon, and then aimed the arrow at one of Charong's own soldiers who was tightly protecting Charong.

The arrows on the bow were like lightning bolts that slashed through the air. "Poof......" The long arrow pierced from behind, and then came out of the chest, and the remaining momentum was straight into Cha Rong's right arm, making him also scream loudly.

"Damn, are there no protectors? Help me keep the enemy from behind. Charong roared loudly. Although he was unwilling, the helpless Charong could only follow the retreat of the army. But even in such a retreat, Charong is still very careful about his safety. When he saw that the enemy behind him could actually hurt himself, he was immediately frightened, and repeatedly beckoned his generals to resist the other party.

At that time, the closest to Charong and Tai Shici were Captain Xu Hai of Jingkou and Lieutenant Gu Heng of the Middle Army. The two of them, one was guarding Cha Rong's side, and the other was in the middle army formation not far from the Li Cavalry. They heard Cha Rong's shouts and saw Cha Rong's critical scene, and immediately went straight to Tai Shi Ci with great anxiety, and exchanged hands with Tai Shi Ci without saying a word.

saw the knife waving and the spear dancing, and the three of them fought directly in this chaotic army formation. In terms of strength, both Xu Hai and Gu Heng can only be regarded as second-rate generals, and there are still many differences compared with first-class generals like Tai Shici. It's just that at this moment, the two joined forces, and some of them launched a ruthless but life-for-life style of play, which directly blocked Tai Shici's attack, making his pursuit unable to take a step forward.

"Damn it!" Tai Shi Ci was annoyed by the two of them, and immediately roared and started to go wild. The gun in his hand rushed forward, forming a dense curtain of gunfire in front of him.

The blow came very suddenly. Xu Hai saw the opportunity early, and immediately dodged away. But Gu Heng was a step slower, and he was stabbed by Tai Shici's gun curtain on the spot, and fell off the horse without saying a word.

"It's so strong." Although he expected it, Xu Hai still didn't expect this blow to be so terrifying. He panicked a little, and he no longer had the courage to talk to Tai Shici. At the moment, he retreated far away, glanced at the retreat of Charong's team, and saw that he was basically far away, so he immediately felt at ease and began to flee for his life.

Perhaps because he had been a ranger before and had the experience of being chased and killed, Xu Hai's escape seemed to be more proficient. He rode his horse in a tortuous line, making it difficult for Tai Shici to aim at him. Then he quickly sank into his own fleeing army, making Tai Shici pause in the distance where he could not pursue.
