There was a terrible scene in front of the east gate of the quarry, and there was mud, ashes, stumps and severed arms, and blood from the corpses. On the battlefield, many wounded soldiers who had not yet died were groaning in pain on the ground, and an officer in the uniform of a military captain of Wu who had been cut off from his abdomen was screaming in pain, while still struggling with his hands to crawl to the southeast, trying to return to the camp of the army.

Shan Xiongxin rode his horse before rushing past the hastily retracted array, his eyes full of coldness.

He could clearly feel the meaning projected in the eyes of these Wu soldiers in front of him, fear, cowardice!

Although they had just desperately blocked the Chen army's charge, and barely gathered their troops and horses to shoot their positions, but in the assault battle just now, the morale of the 50,000 Zhennan army had dropped to the freezing point. 50,000 against 20,000, in less than an hour of fighting, the Zhennan army had lost nearly 20,000 men and horses, and suffered 10,000 casualties. At this time, although 40,000 horses were gathered, Shan Xiong knew in his confidence that this was already a group of frightened birds, and if there were more Chen soldiers and horses, maybe as long as there was another battle like the one just now, this Zhennan army, which had been established for less than three years, would completely collapse.

Thinking of this, under the cold helmet, Shan Xiongxin's face sank more and more.

This Zhennan army, which he has spent countless efforts on, is very different from the Wagang army he commanded when he was in the Central Plains. Although the Wagang Army was a combination of peasants and bandits, in terms of morale and fierceness, it was beyond the reach of the Jiangdong Wu Army.

Thinking that the Wagang army, which was so strong at the beginning, was so tragically defeated at the hands of Chen Jun. looked at the Wu army in front of him who shrank up like rain. His heart was full of bitterness.

"This damn Chen Jun knows that playing sneak attacks has a kind of arranging troops and fighting head-on." A general cursed on the side.

"Hmph, give me 5,000 subordinates, I'm willing to fight back those dogs immediately." Another general said.

Shan Xiongxin rode on his horse, looking at the reinforcements of the Chen army who were only a thousand steps away from them and were sorting out the array under the quarry city, he did not respond, but only showed a sneer.

Previously stormed overnight. It was not easy to capture the two city walls of the outer city and the inner city, but in the blink of an eye, they have all been recaptured by the Chen army. At the time of the battle just now, the generals of the Zhennan Army only lasted less than half an hour. They began to scatter and flee. At this time, he said such big words in front of him, and Shan Xiong sneered in confidence.

"Generals don't need to be in a hurry, Chen's reinforcements are coming but they are not in a hurry to enter the city, now they are in battle under the city, it seems that they want to defeat us completely. Everyone, step up your formation and prepare to meet the enemy! Shan Xiongxin said loudly.

When the soldiers of the Wu army heard that Chen Jun was going to kill again, they couldn't help but exclaim, but no one shouted to kill them anymore.

Sure enough, as Shan Xiongxin expected, it took less than a quarter of an hour. More than 20,000 Chen army reinforcements under the quarry city in the distance have regrouped their ranks. One by one, the herald cavalry ran in front of the array to eat and drink, and then countless sabers in the array were raised, and bursts of earth-shattering shouts rang out like mountains.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In the shouting of killing, the commanding generals of the reinforcements, Li Chengyi and Li Chengli, the brothers in full armor, rode their horses to the front of the battle. On the other side, Xu Shiji and Chen Kedi, the guards in the quarry city, had also rushed to the front of the battle at this time.

"Thank you two brothers Li for coming to help, I am grateful for the achievements!"

Li Chengyi smiled slightly: "Duke Mao doesn't have to be polite, I have long admired Duke Mao's prestige, and today we are fortunate to fight together." It's a great thing to be happy about. I also asked Brother Mao to escort the two of my brothers, and wait for my two brothers to come back with the head of Shan Xiongxin. ”

Chen Kedi over there said: "Two General Li, if possible, I hope to capture Shan Xiongxin this person." His Majesty admired him a lot, and once praised him as a rare brave general. And. Shan Xiongxin was the original general of Wagang, and he was an old acquaintance with His Majesty, General Xu and Concubine Zhai. If there is an opportunity, it is better to surrender the captive. ”…,

Xu Shiji also hurriedly said: "Shiji will be willing to fight in person and persuade Xiongxin in battle." ”

Li Chengyi thought about it, since there were these internal and Chinese relations, he didn't say more, nodded to the generals at the moment, and pointed his sword forward. Suddenly, the military drums sounded in unison, the horns sounded, and above the cloud car in the army, the Chinese army leaned forward, and countless flags flew.

The front finger of the big Xu, the whole army attacked!

The young general Chen Kedi took the lead, and the emperor personally gave him a war lance and rode forward. The brothers Li Chengyi and Li Chengli led the Chinese army to follow, and Xu Shiji led the infantry of the rear army to follow. The army of 20,000 came out of the water like a dragon and descended like a tiger.

In the face of the surging Chen army, in front of the Wu army, Shan Xiongxin also had a solemn face. The Chen army won a new victory, and the morale was great, on the other hand, the Wu army had already stormed the quarrying for a day, and the sergeants were tired, and they had just suffered a major defeat, and the morale of the army was at its lowest, and the soldiers were physically exhausted.

If possible, Shan Xiongxin didn't want to fight, but at this moment, under the Wu army's strong city, there was an empty space behind him, and there was not even a large battalion to rely on temporarily. At this time, if you retreat from the war, there will definitely be a collapse.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

There is no second choice left for Wu Jun, either he will fight against the water, and there will still be a chance of victory with 40,000 against 20,000. Either there is only the end of defeat, although he knows that the chance of victory is not great, but Shan Xiongxin is not the kind of person who is willing to give up easily.

With his legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse man stood up, Shan Xiongxin waved the gold-topped jujube yang lance in his hand, jumped the horse horizontally, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The boss had already given the order to attack, and the generals had no choice but to obey.

Hearing the sound of drums, Wu Jun quickly formed a formation and marched forward in a small phalanx. Under the order, the small phalanx quickly converged into a large phalanx in the process of moving forward, from slow to rapid forward, in the process of moving forward, people continued to pour in, the phalanx changed and grew, and finally converged into a torrent to rush forward.

The cavalry on both wings of Chen's army also slowly converged, but they were hidden on both sides of the phalanx, and the horses' hooves were rushing, not in a hurry. The Chen army was a mixture of cavalry and infantry, but the Wu army was all infantry, the war drums suddenly sounded sharply, the two armies invariably turned from galloping to rushing, colliding with each other, and the two torrents finally converged together, setting off a monstrous wave!

The two armies quickly wrenched together and slaughtered each other.

The Chen army was full of morale and well-equipped, with strong armor and sharp swords. Although most of the more than 20,000 men and horses are composed of second-line soldiers and horses such as township soldiers and militia regiments, the middle and low-level non-commissioned officers, gang commanders, and team leaders are all experienced, and most of them are capable officers who have received new-style military training in the martial arts hall. The 20,000 Chen troops were in high spirits and high morale at this time.

And Wu Junzhen's southern army was also one of the four most elite armies of Wu at this time, although the equipment was not as good as Chen's army, but it was not much different. Especially in terms of combat experience, they are actually better than Chen Jun. What the Wu army lacks is that kind of morale, that kind of galloping fighting spirit, and it also lacks those low-level capable officers who are the backbone as the backbone. However, at this time, the scuffle, the Wu army, which had twice as many soldiers and horses as the Chen army, was also fighting against the odds, fighting to the death.

The armor was sonorous, the earth was shaken, and the sound of fighting was heard far away, shaking the already bright red moat. The rising sun is still a red color, sprinkling a soft glow, and everyone has a pale gold color. But under the pale gold, the red kept pouring out, the spear poked out, the machete broke, and the groups of people fell, blood overflowed, and the follow-up soldiers and bandits all killed red eyes, stepping on the corpses of their companions or enemies to attack forward. Shizi Hexi, soon covered with corpses. Covered in blood.

The drums are more urgent, and there are more and more follow-ups of the red-eyed Wu army, which can be said to be all over the mountains, although the Chen army is strong, but after all, it is a full double the number of people, and the Wu army is completely trapped at this time. …,

Xu Shiji, who was in the back, had already watched the battle from behind, and when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately ordered the flag to be held high. There was another rush of drums, and the cavalry on both flanks finally attacked!

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the three thousand cavalry on both wings smashed into the Wu army like a whirlwind, and the Wu army held out for no more than a moment, and soon showed a tendency to be overwhelmed, and fled in defeat.

Li Chengyi saw that the Wu army finally began to disperse, and said to his brother with a laugh on the horse: "Actually, Shan Xiongxin still has some ability, and in just three years, it is rare to be able to train such a soldier and horse." If he is not against us, he is not weak. It's a pity that he voted for Nan Chen at the beginning, if he voted for us and led our elite Chen army, I believe it would really be like a tiger with wings and invincible. ”

What Li Chengyi said was actually the biggest difference between Chen's army and the armies of other princes. The armies of the other princes generally relied on generals, but the soldiers were generally not strong. The Chen army is different, although the Chen army has a large number of excellent generals, but the most basic thing about the Chen army is the soldiers. Chen Jun has the best soldiers of this era, and even more of the best middle and low-level officers of this era.

The real backbone of an officer is still the huge number of middle and low-level officers. It is precisely these low-level officers who really support the backbone of Chen Jun.

A group of sheep led by a lion can't be compared with a lion pack led by a sheep in Chen Kefu's opinion. Because even if the sheep as the leader is weak, the lion pack is still a force to be reckoned with, and when the strength of the lion pack is so strong, in fact, the weakness of the sheep has been greatly reduced. And although the lion is strong as the leader, if he is carrying a flock of sheep, then no matter how strong he is, he will be defeated by a group of lions in the end.

This is Chen Kefu's choice, the ground floor determines the superstructure.

Under the attack of Chen Jun's group of lions, Wu's army was defeated after all.

Shan Xiongxin is very strong, and among the tens of thousands of troops, he comes and goes, and there are few enemies. But the battle between the two armies was not a general's competition, although he was brave, but his subordinates had already been defeated, and finally had to retreat with the army helplessly.

On the battlefield, Xu Shijile stopped his horse, wiped the blood stains on his face, looked at the single-word general banner that was constantly moving away in the southwest direction with a complicated heart, and whispered to himself: "Second brother Shan is going, I don't know if I can have the opportunity to meet again!" ”！ ~！ ……，
