Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dog in the Block (2)
At the end of the afternoon (around three o'clock), Han Lie's brigade was already less than ten miles away from Laopo Gang after some costume changes, and Xu Huang's department, which had been changed to be the vanguard to lure the enemy, had already seen the Changfeng brigade stationed on the slope.
The terrain of Laopo Gang rises and falls from south to north, although the slope is only 60 degrees vertical, and the terrain is only more than ten zhang high, but such a formation, once the Chang Xuan Division, which occupies the height, swoops down, it is obviously conducive to the army to play a charge, on the contrary, if the Han Lie Department faces the battle, it will suffer a loss.
When Han Lie was mixed in the crowd and watched the surrounding terrain, he decisively gave Xu Huang an order, asking him to lead the army to lure the enemy, and immediately retreat to the northeast for three miles, because there happened to be a river three miles away, although the river was not deep, but Han Lie had watched, the river was quite turbulent, and the people and horses could only move forward slowly, and once they walked too fast, it was easy to be washed down by the rapids, and thus fell into the river.
If he could use this river as a barrier and take advantage of the situation to launch an attack when the enemy was halfway through, he would definitely be able to split the enemy in two, so that Han Lie could lead the main force and launch a thunderous blow against the enemy.
Because it was to lure the enemy, and most of the thousands of men and horses under the command of Xu Huang were dressed up by ordinary people, the formation seemed scattered and disorderly.
"Haha, I heard that Sun Guan once said that Han Lie's soldiers are brave and brave, but I don't think so." Chang Xuan looked back and laughed loudly, slowly raised the trident in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my general order, the left and right battalions are ready to assault, and in one fell swoop, the remnants of the army in front of them will be defeated, and the large number of supplies behind will be ours." ”
"Oh, oh......" The Taishan Kou sergeant behind him all let out a roar.
Xu Huang, who was armed with an axe and a spear and a horse at the front of the team, saw that the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred paces, he immediately stopped his formation and shouted: "Pass my command, once the enemy launches a charge, even if he throws away all the coins and banners on his body, he can run as fast as he can." ”
"Whoa." The sergeants in charge of the command in the army immediately dispersed.
"Soldiers of the Red Flame Army, in order to buy time for the villagers behind you to escape, you must shoot three rounds of arrows, and then follow the military flag and retreat to the northeast. The 800 sergeants in front of the team were Xu Huang's men and horses, and in order to create an illusion, Xu Huang specially arranged a straggler formation, and the straggler formation was arranged by Han Lie according to the straggler front of later generations.
The stragglers seem to be scattered and unsystematic, but they are composed of a triangular formation, that is, three or five sergeants form a triangular cone formation, such a formation can rely on each other in the melee, even in the case of the collapse of the large army formation, it can also quickly form combat effectiveness, and step by step close to each other, forming a certain lethality to the enemy.
After a year of intensive drills, the sergeants of each department have been able to skillfully apply it, and in the case of the battlefield collapse, they quickly formed a formation and counterattacked.
"Assault!" The distance of two hundred steps was already very close, and seeing that Xu Huang led the army to begin to form a formation, Chang Feng sneered, and immediately gave the order to attack, he wanted to take advantage of Xu Huang's unstable foothold to defeat this army in one fell swoop.
At this time, he still thought that the leader was Han Lie, after all, Han Lie's Chinese army Daxu was in the army, and the general on horseback under Daxu was a general at a glance in gold-scale armor.
"Kill, kill!" Seven thousand Taishan Kou followed Chang Xuan's order, and pressed up like a mountain and a sea.
The three thousand Chinese army led by Chang Feng did not move a single inch at the moment, although Chang Feng is known for his bravery, but every time he comes to a big battle, he will never be stupid to rush forward, the three thousand Chinese army he leads, all of them are strong and strong warriors, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of other departments, but he likes to let the striker impact the enemy's formation, once the enemy's formation is loosened or collapsed, he will lead the Chinese army to cut directly into it, and then give the enemy a fatal blow.
This tactic was designated by him as the Black Tiger's heart, because he liked to let the enemy know so neatly that he was majestic and domineering.
"Arrows ready." In the face of the overwhelming enemy soldiers, Xu Huang raised his palm with a calm expression, and the eight hundred sergeants in front of the formation pulled the longbows in their hands one after another, and eight hundred feathered arrows flew out.
......The next moment when the sound of the feather arrows breaking through the wind sounded, the sound of falling on the shield was immediately heard in the enemy formation: "Da da da......"
"Ah, help, save me,......" There was also a scream from the sergeant who was hit by the arrow.
"Kill, kill, kill, ......" As the battle began, these bloody bandits also completely ignited their fighting spirit.
Three rounds of arrow rain fell, at least hundreds of enemy soldiers fell on the battlefield, and at this time the enemy soldiers had already been killed in front of the battle, Xu Huang, who had resisted a little, saw that the people behind him had begun to flee, he immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
"Retreat, retreat...... The officers and men in the army shouted and fled, and began to discard their helmets, armor, and even coins, which was so embarrassing and embarrassing.
"Money, there is money on the ground." One of the thieves who rushed all the way into Xu Huang's army suddenly found the coins scattered on the ground, and he couldn't help but shout in excitement.
The next moment, he realized that he was stupid, and when he picked up the coin on the ground, he found that his companions on the entire battlefield were busy picking up money.
Liu Ergouzi, who was in the enemy formation, saw that Xu Huang's department was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and laughed, when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers picking up money on the battlefield, and he who had always been greedy for money, couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Big leader, look at the enemy defeated, if we don't attack, the coins will be snatched up by those rabbit cubs." ”
Chang Xuan also roared with round eyes: "It has long been rumored that Han Lie scraped three feet of the ground in Donglai and made a lot of money, and the soldiers are all wrapped in their waists, it seems that the rumors are true, quickly, attack the commander, capture Han Lie alive, and reward 100,000 yuan." ”
"Whoa!" The soldiers and soldiers behind Chang Feng were all shocked and cheered in unison.
"Sons, let me kill all these sheep." Chang Feng waved the trident in his hand and rushed out.
Due to the money spilled all the way, the speed of the chasing soldiers was slowed down, so when the enemy soldiers chased to the river, Xu Huang had already led his troops to protect most of the people who were pretending to be sergeants, and they had crossed the river safely, although nearly 1,000 people on the other side of the river were either killed or taken prisoner because they couldn't escape, but the entire strategic deployment did not exceed Han Lie's strategic deployment.
Seeing that Xu Huang's troops had crossed the river, and on the hillside not far from the other side of the river, the dense ranks of ordinary people were in sight, and these thieves who had picked up a lot of coins along the way, as if they saw a mountain of gold in front of them, suddenly rushed into the river with a roar.
The officers and soldiers of the Chinese army led by Chang Xuan, seeing that on the other side of the river were the tens of thousands of people brought by Han Lie from Donglai, their eyes lit up and shouted: "Sons, follow me to rob them all." ”
"Oh oh oh ......" The Taishan thief, who was in full morale, suddenly burst out with a roar and rushed into the turbulence.
At the moment when the Chinese army led by Chang Xuan crossed the river, in the direction of the left flank of the people who were coaxing on the hillside, a crimson banner of the Han army suddenly rose, and on the flag with red background and black edge, a flame surrounded the icon, and the two fiery red red flames were clearly visible.
Han Lie, who was originally standing with the horse, quickly turned over on the horse's back and shouted, "Beat the drum and attack!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! In the military formation, bursts of deafening drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The next moment, the officers and soldiers of the Red Flame Army, who were originally hidden on the two wings of the people's ranks, lined up neatly and broke away from the people's ranks, and the officers and soldiers of the Red Flame Army, who had high morale, rushed down the hill shouting the slogans of the Red Flame Army under the leadership of Han Lie.
"Loyal to the Han, loyal to the people, the red flame is longing, never die!"
