Smoke rises.
Duan Wencao suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the city, and a strong sense of ominousness surged in his heart. If Xu Shiren betrayed so-and-so, if Xu Shiren has been helping the thieves deceive so-and-so, if the rebels in the city come out and fight against the white thief, what will be the result?
Duan Wencao didn't dare to think that the little luck that had been in his heart before disappeared in an instant. Without luck, Duan Wencao became calmer. Now that the knife has been unsheathed and the arrow has been wound, even if the battle situation is extremely unfavorable to him, even if he is about to be attacked by the thief army, he has no time to make any adjustments in deployment.
"Order all the besieging regiments to pay close attention to the movements in the city, and if the thieves in the city take the opportunity to break through, they will be repelled at any cost."
After Duan Wencao gave this order, he estimated that he could mobilize very few reserve troops, so that the troops he deployed on the frontal battlefield not only did not have an advantage, but because of the excessive weakness of the left and right flanks, it left a chance for the thieves to break through.
"Order the left and right flanks, fire to move closer to the Chinese army, form a formation to defend, be sure to block the attack of the thieves, and ensure the safety of the two flanks of the Chinese army."
After Duan Wencao groaned for a while, he gave another order, "Urgently tell Niu Ying, the battle situation has changed, and our army is afraid of being attacked by thieves before and after, so at the beginning of the battle, the front line will defend with all its might, resolutely block the thief army, and wait for our rear army to repel the thieves who broke through the city, and then launch a counterattack." ”
The herald sped away, disappearing into battle in the blink of an eye.
Duan Wencao looked up at the sky again. Three puffs of smoke have soared into the sky, shocking.
At this moment, an earth-shattering sound of war drums came from ahead, followed by the sound of killing that swept across the battlefield like thunder. Duan Wencao's face changed suddenly, he straightened his body, and concentrated on the makeshift wooden platform to look ahead. The thieves attacked, attacked on all fronts, and rushed over like a tidal wave.
What kind of play is this? Duan Wencao was puzzled. There is no order at all, and they rush up in a swarm, looking amazing, but in fact there is no threat. However, this is in line with the style of a thief with no combat experience. No, there is a white thief in front, this thief has outstanding strategy, how can he make such a low-level mistake? There must be deception in this, and the sharp blade in the hands of the white thief must be hidden behind this chaotic attack, waiting for the moment when he loses his vigilance and strikes a fatal blow.
Duan Wencao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. It's been a suffocating feeling of tension against a strong opponent that I haven't experienced in years. Where is the direction of the white thief's attack? Mid lane, or left and right wings? A certain doesn't want to be tough, and the white thief also doesn't want to be hard, and now he uses this kind of all-out attack to hide his main force, which is obviously to avoid the real and make a difference.
Duan Wencao felt heartache, and he was even a little dizzy for a moment. Wrong, their own decisive battle deployment is wrong.
"Order, the left and right wings will move closer to the Chinese army, quickly, quickly!" Duan Wencao shouted hoarsely, "Order the besieging regiment leaders on the east and south sides to immediately deploy troops to support the two wings of our Chinese army." ”
As soon as the words fell, before the herald turned his horse's head, he heard the sound of fierce war drums from inside the city, as if countless spring thunders exploded over the city, giving people a sense of shock like the earth shaking the mountains.
Not good, the bandit army in the city is starting to break through.
A trace of panic flashed in Duan Wencao's eyes. It was too fast, the smoke rose, the war drums were beating, and the thief army cooperated too tacitly, and suddenly he threw a heavy punch and caught himself off guard. How is this possible? How does the white thief do it? Why did the thieves of Han Jinluo in the city trust him so much?
Duan Wencao realized that he had made a big mistake, because he over-believed in the contradictions between the Qi and Chu people, and believed that there was a fierce conflict within the thief army, and as a result, he did not consider that the thieves would work together to unite with the outside world at the moment of life and death. It's too late, it's already the enemy, and now it's only a battle to fight back, and to repel the white thieves at any cost, and at the same time do everything possible to prevent the thieves from breaking through, so there is still the possibility of reversing the tide of the battle.
"Urgently tell Niu Eagle Attack, the thief army in the city is breaking through, and our army is under the enemy's back, and the shape is precarious." Duan Wencao decisively ordered, "Order Niu Yingying, at this moment, only by breaking the cauldron and defeating the white thief and cutting off the last hope of the thief army in the city can our army reverse the tide of the battle." ”
Duan Wencao regretted it, he knew that this was the case, it was better to accept Niu Jinda's construction and take Ningyang City as soon as possible, although the loss of attacking the fortification would be great, but as long as the thousands of thieves in the city were surrendered, the strength would soon be restored, and more importantly, it could let itself firmly grasp the initiative. Now that he is extremely passive and dangerous, even if he pays a heavy price, he may not be able to turn the corner.

Niu Jinda in the front-line battle array was even more flustered, his ominous premonition had become a reality, he felt that he was like duckweed struggling in the flood at this moment, and he wanted to grab a life-saving straw, but looking around, there were thieves all over the world, and there was no straw to grasp at all.
Why did the battle lose control at the moment of the engagement? What amazing magic did the white thief use to control the battle in a short period of time?
Niu Jinda did not have time to find answers, he fell into the most dangerous predicament since the army, and he used all his strength to direct his soldiers to fight bloodily.
Li Fengyun was strengthened, and the elite of the Cangtou Army of the six regiments was like a roaring tiger, and launched a frantic attack on the right flank of the official army.
This is Li Fengyun's demand, the attack must be crazy, must sacrifice life and forget death, must destroy the right flank of the official army in the shortest possible time before the official army has reacted at the beginning of the attack, and then tear through the middle defense of the official army to deal a fatal blow to the official army.
Li Fengyun could not guarantee that the rebels in the city would be killed at the beginning of the attack, that Han Jinluo and the other four heroes would not delay the fighters, and that the rebels in the city would do their best to attack. If the righteous army in the city fails to break through the resistance of the official army as quickly as possible and directly kill Duan Wencao's "back", then the Cangtou army and the Jiyin army will definitely fall into a bitter battle on the decisive battlefield, and the cost of the bitter battle is too great for the Cangtou army to bear, and the Jiyin army will evacuate in a hurry, and it will fall short in the end.
It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, only by controlling your own destiny can you be invincible, if you want to win this decisive battle, you can only attack wildly.
The attack worked quickly.
The officers and men of the Cangtou Army, who had experienced the baptism of war, had long been accustomed to bloody killings and had long been indifferent to life and death, and Li Fengyun's long-term unremitting devilish training had turned the original boatmen and sailors, as well as those pampered eagle guards, into murderous machines. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of those township regiment soldiers who are mainly honest civilians and young men is too poor. What is even more strict is that since the founding of the army, Duan Wencao has had no time to supervise the army to conduct large-scale combat training because the situation has deteriorated rapidly and he has been too busy with official business. In today's decisive battle, more than 10,000 troops from both sides participated in the battle, and they fought each other on a battlefield that was several miles wide, which had very high requirements for the officers and men's combat ability to fight in battle, the proficiency of the battle formation to change the process, the tacit cooperation between the regiments and brigades, and the soldiers' adaptability and teamwork spirit in the fierce battle. The Cangtou Army was significantly higher than the Lu Army in terms of comprehensive combat strength, which was an important reason why the Cangtou Army quickly seized the opportunity at the beginning of the war.
Duan Wencao watched his right wing collapse.
Li Fengyun avoided the real and attacked the enemy unprepared, and fought accurately, ruthlessly and fiercely, while the officers and troops were caught off guard, and they did not expect that their opponents would turn from the vulnerable Jiyin Righteous Army into a strong Cangtou Army, and what especially made the officers and troops complain was that they were being ordered to move closer to the Chinese army, because they had to rush for time and degree, and the battle formation could not maintain stability, and it became very chaotic. At this moment, the elite of the six regiments of the Cangtou Army pounced, and the five hundred officers and soldiers were powerless to resist, and the battle formation was broken through in an instant. The officers and soldiers who have lost the battle formation are equivalent to the soldiers who have lost their shields, and they can only wait helplessly for death in the face of the "arrows" that rush in their faces.
The right flank of the official army collapsed, and the flank of the mid-lane army lost its protection and was exposed to the attacks of the Cangtou army.
In addition to his own personal guards, Duan Wencao only has two regiments of reserves, but fortunately, these two regiments are eagle guards and have good combat effectiveness, but if the reserves of these two regiments are thrown on now, then when the battle situation changes again, Duan Wencao will have no choice.
Duan Wencao turned to look behind him, hoping to see the besieging troops send reinforcements as soon as they received his order, but he was disappointed, he saw that the battle flag of the rebel army had appeared in the field of vision, and the rebel army was out of the city, while his own battle flag was a little chaotic. The battle flag is out of order, indicating that there is a problem in the battle array. Why is there a problem with the battle formation? Duan Wencao's heart hurt even more. It must have been because of his own order that the besieging troops sent reinforcements, but before the reinforcements could break away from the battle formation, the rebels in the city rushed out and caught the besieging troops by surprise.
It's too fast, the situation of the battle is changing too quickly, and it is a sudden change from the beginning, and it doesn't give the officers and soldiers any time to react at all.
Duan Wencao shook his head and sighed bitterly, he was careless, he underestimated the enemy, and he took the blame. Thinking of Dong Chun, who was defeated by the white thief and was now walking on the ancient plank road of Bashu, Duan Wencao couldn't help but feel sympathy. Soon, his fighting spirit was born, and his decades of fighting horses tempered his heart as hard as a rock, how could such a small setback defeat him?
"Pass on an order, put in all the reserves, and advance along the right flank of the center, even if there are all dead and wounded, to ensure the safety of the flank of the center." Duan Wencao decisively ordered, "Anyone who retreats from the battle will be killed!" ”
"Order the bull eagle to strike, form a formation and defend to the death, and block the attack of the thief army at any cost."
"Order all the departments besieging the city, at this critical juncture, must fight bloodily, even if the battle is to the point of a soldier, but also resolutely block the way of the thief army to break through, all those who attack ineffectively, passively slack off, and those who flee in arson, behead!"
At the same time, Li Fengyun was also issuing a series of orders.
"Order Xu 13 and Hai Dongqing to immediately lead the army to attack the enemy's banner, threaten the enemy's command center, and disrupt the enemy's command."
"Order Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming, taking advantage of the loss of protection on the flank of the enemy's center, command the main force to attack fiercely, and tear apart the enemy's defense in the center as much as possible."
"Order Han Yao to immediately lead the army to attack the enemy's middle road, fully cooperate with our middle road Yue Gao, Haidongqing and Jiyin army regiments, attack the enemy's middle line, strive to break through the enemy position in the shortest possible time, and deal a fatal blow to Duan Wencao."
Under the blue sky, the battle flags of both sides were hunting, and the soldiers of both sides were close to each other, and the battle entered a white heat.
