"The Shu army looks like they have good morale, what are they yelling at?" Zhang Yue wore an iron helmet, a mountain pattern armor, a horizontal knife hanging from his waist, and sat on the platform of the Chinese army with a golden sword, looking at the large array of the Shu army two or three miles opposite, and asked the Feng Qian around him.

The so-called general's platform, that is, a temporary wooden frame covered with wooden felt, the height and area are exquisite, and Gu Xiu is set up according to the rank of the general of the unified army. The general will be behind the stage to build the national number of the big flag and the general of the flag, the front tree military gate two red flags, leopard tail door gun two.
Under the handsome banner is a tiger-shaped pattern screen, Zhang Yue is now sitting on the high couch handsome seat, on the left and right are the commanders of the guards, Du Ximi, Yang Xuanli, and under the head are Hao Tianying, Ma Bu Deputy Du Envoy Murong Yanzhao, Feng Qianhou and other Chinese army generals and staff. On both sides of the crowd is a large drum of the Chinese army, and there are 12 strict police drums and 12 pairs of horns of gold, which are divided into left and right in turn.
Behind the drum horn are the six flags of the generals, and five pairs of flags embroidered with birds and beasts representing the directions. Each drum, horn, and banner has a drummer in place, and these are the command system of the general, the command center of tens of thousands of troops.
"It's a little farther away, I can't hear clearly, but it sounds a little exhausting, and it's time to say something." Feng Qianhou's black face was a little red, he looked radiant, and his breathing was a little heavy, but he forcibly suppressed his voice, and said with a smile.
It looks like two or three miles, but in fact it is more than two miles, which is only the distance between the commanders of the two armies, but minus the area spread out by the front army's large array is more than a hundred steps, so that in terms of the distance in front of the formation, it is only one and a half miles. One mile was 300 paces, about 400 paces, just outside the range of the bow and crossbow, but the Ma army was in an instant, and it had entered a dangerous distance.
"That's right, press his momentum!" Zhang Yue nodded with a smile and shouted: "The front army advances fifty steps!" ”
"Fifty paces forward!" Du Ximi heard the sound and shouted, and the standard-bearer immediately raised the triangular red eagle flag and walked to the center of the general's platform, and waved it forward. Chi Shanghuo, acting as a guide, also refers to the former army. At the same time, the Chinese military drummer holds the drumstick high with both hands, and the drumming is five times, which represents fifty steps.
The five phalanxes of the front army were Luo Yanhuan's three armies, and there were battle losses all the way south, and the number of young and strong prisoners of war of the Shu army was selected to replenish the number, so it was still a complete army. These five phalanxes are arranged in echelons of the first two and the last three, and there are two teams of crossbowmen spread diagonally in the front two corners, and the bows and crossbows held by 400 people are mixed, which is selected from the various commands.
The soldiers of the Zhou army slowly moved forward with neat and powerful steps, just to the edge of the gentle slope. As soon as the Chinese army's Wutong drum stopped, Luo Yanhuan drew his sword and shouted: "Stop!" ”
"Ho! Ho! Ho! The soldiers shouted and raised their guns, and stamped their feet in unison, and the earth shook with an unflinching defiance.
On the opposite slope, under the banner of the commander of the Shu army, Han Bao was watching the behavior of the Zhou army, but the old god was sitting still on the ground. The morale of the Zhou army seems to be stronger, calm as a mountain when standing quietly, and sonorous and powerful when walking, and it is not suitable to engage head-on at this time.
"Handsome? Do you want to fight? Niu Hongliang, the tooth general, was a little eager to try and asked loudly.
Han Baozheng didn't pay attention to it, he pressed the hilt of the sword and slowly closed his eyes, listening carefully, the nearby soldiers were breathing a little roughly, and a few people were whispering, it seemed that the soldiers were under pressure and were very nervous. It is no wonder that the Shu army has not fought such a frontal field battle for many years.
Soon, as the hour passed, the soldiers calmed down and their breathing seemed to be steady. But at this time, Zhou Jun seemed a little impatient, and began to yell and drum again.
Han Baozheng finally opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, the sun had just appeared and disappeared into the clouds, but the air was still hot, and he began to sweat after wearing armor for a while. Fortunately, there was an occasional gust of cool wind blowing, and Han Baozheng felt the direction of the wind, it was a southwest wind, which was not very good, so he continued to sit and wait.
In the blink of an eye, the front army of the Zhou army scolded again and again, the Shu army just didn't move, Zhang Yue was also a little impatient, Feng Qianhou smiled and said: "In the past, there was a Cao Di polemic and said: Husband war, courage also." One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. He did his best to make money, so he restrained it. As a general, you have to be patient...... However, courage is not enough, Han Baozheng is also a famous general in Shu, can be described as a wise and brave person, I always feel that since he sent troops to fight a decisive battle, he must have something to rely on! ”
"He has the advantage of troops, the advantage of geography, and the advantage of local supply of grain, but he can't afford to drag it out! If there is any more news from Xiang Xun's side, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Han Baozheng to gather his troops. Zhang Yue said calmly.
"This field has an unobstructed view, if you don't see it carefully in the morning, there is a small forest under the eastern slope that is on the side of the battlefield, about four or five miles, so Hao Tianying can lead the three battalions of horse troops to move there." Feng Qianhou pointed to the small hill in the distance and said.
"It's a little late now, Han Baozheng will find out, and besides, the forest is too small and thin to hide many people, but I can send scouts to confirm." He didn't set up an ambush, but he couldn't let others set up an ambush, Zhang Yue nodded, and ordered Yang Xuanli to send a few rangers to ride through the woods over there to have a look.
As he was talking, there was a drum sound in the large array of the Shu army on the opposite side, and the six phalanxes of the previous army advanced to this side for about fifty steps to stop the whole team, and a dazzling banner danced, and the Shu army actually changed the formation halfway, and the six formations were arranged in a plum blossom shape, and gradually shrank a little, becoming a six-flower array.
In the middle of the battlefield, there were rangers swimming back and forth to observe, and the situation they saw was reported to Luo Yanhuan of the former army, and then reported back to the Chinese army, so that Zhang Yue could understand the situation in more detail.
"It's already outdated and still playing the Six Flowers Array, is this a defeat before you win?" Zhang Yue laughed disdainfully.
"Nope! The Six Flowers Array can be attacked, retreated and defended, and can be fought for a long time, not to be underestimated! Feng Qianhou said disappreciatively.
"Herald! The front army continues to advance, and it can take the enemy and break the formation on its own! Zhang Yue shouted again.
The strength of the front army is less than one battalion of the Shu army, even if it can't break the formation, it's still no problem to test the combat strength of the Shu army. Of course, at the beginning, no one would come up with the most elite troops, but Luo Yanhuan's three are by no means weak, and Zhang Yue is full of hope.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The Chinese army's big drum sounded in a rhythm, and the rumbling drum shook the eardrums. The front army still moved forward in echelons and slowly descended to the depression, but the ground was flat, that is, the weeds were not cleared, and the main half of the soldiers were completely hidden in the grass and could not be seen clearly, but the formation was still neat.
The soldiers of the Zhou army advanced in a phalanx, which was a completely offensive formation, and the movement speed was much faster, while the Shu army was a six-flower array, such as six petals blooming, the periphery was a spear and shield array, and the inside was a crossbowman, which moved much slower, and the whole team had to be suspended every forty or fifty steps, so as not to scatter the formation.
Luo Yanhuan saw that the Shu army was a six-flower array, so he carefully observed which formation the Shu army scattered first in the middle phalanx of the back row, and gradually saw that the small formation in the southeast corner of the opposite side was the weakest link, but the Shu army knew that it was clumsy, and it was a bit difficult to detour in the rear, and it was even more infeasible to divide the troops and attack on the side.
Luo Yanhuan saw that there was still a section of the Shu army reaching the range of the bow and crossbow, so he ordered the five phalanxes to spread out slightly, and the queues were also thinner, so as to avoid the rain of arrows splashed from the center of the opponent's six flower arrays and cause greater casualties to the other side.
However, there is also an advantage to the dense formation of the Shu army, the crossbowmen can maneuver according to the situation, and at any time they can be transferred to the periphery to concentrate on the enemy's weak links. (To be continued.) )
