Chapter Two Thousand and Thirty-Five: The Two Armies Fight
Riverbank battlefields.
"Kill ——!!"
Jia Zhengjin's changed Zhichong general Yu Cheng personally led the troops, and the ten lieutenant generals around him rode horses to accompany him, and tens of thousands of legions surrounded the 5,000 Miao County reinforcements of the Gao Kingdom Morrico, shouting and killing shook the sky.
However, the army did not start a war at all, but only surrounded it and did not give the other side any chance to break through.
Morrico's 5,000 soldiers broke left and right, and several breakthroughs were forced back by random arrows, and they could only stalemate with the other side and the riverbank.
In the army, Diao Jun was so nervous with a bamboo gun in his hand.
"Follow me, don't be left behind!" Cen Pei whispered beside him, "Once the war starts, we must unite to survive!"
"Pei Ge'er, we're a little scared......" The voices of several soldiers trembled.
"Manly man, what's so scary?" Cen Pei said, "As long as you follow me, you won't die so easily!"
"Pei Ge'er, since our army has surrounded the enemy, and it is several times larger, why don't we annihilate it in one fell swoop?" asked a soldier softly.
Cen Pei held a bamboo gun in his hand and replied indifferently: "General Zhichong surrounded but did not fight, the intention was to defend the Bashui! Send people to burn the dense forest, presumably there are also enemy troops there, and in the face of such a scene, the enemy army will definitely go out of the city to rescue." When the time comes, the rear army will definitely turn to the front army and attack the main force of the enemy!"
"So we're in the rear?" exclaimed someone, "no wonder! I thought we'd just have to follow the line......
"Against the main force of the enemy, where can we withstand ......"
"There will be heavy casualties," Cen Pei nodded, "but you have to trust me! as long as you listen to my orders, I will definitely bring you home alive!"
"Pei Ge'er, you don't have to comfort everyone. One of the older people could see it, "Everyone knows that you can be great, but when you really fight, you can't take care of everything." It's basically impossible to bring everyone home alive. ”
"......" Cen Pei was silent for a few seconds when he heard this, and then said solemnly, "I want you to guarantee that you have at least a better chance of surviving with me!"
"We believe that!"
"Then please believe me, and when the time comes, you must obey the command!"
"It's better that the enemy doesn't get out of the city, so we don't have to fight hard!" someone sighed.
"Impossible!" Cen Pei shook his head, "General Zhichong is clearly persecuting the other party, if the reinforcements are defeated, the morale of the defending army will drop rapidly. At that time, the momentum of defending the city will be even weaker! What's more, our army is generally a forcible conscription, and we have traveled a long distance, and the whole army is tired, and the other side will inevitably attack!"
"What if you don't send troops?" Diao Jun listened to the side for so long, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Then the two support troops of the other side will be annihilated, and the whole army will have no morale!"
"So, our army will win?" Diao Jun asked in surprise.
"Wrong! If the enemy army sends troops, the main force and the two support armies merge, and it is possible to defeat our army in one go!" Cen Pei shook his head, "Or, the enemy army cannot hold out, and let us destroy the two support armies." Even if the morale is low and the momentum is insufficient, with the advantage of the city, it will be difficult for our side to attack, and it may even turn into a war of attrition, and when the army runs out of food, we have to withdraw our troops!"
"According to you, our army will be defeated?"
"Things on the battlefield are changing in a hurry! No one can say. Cen Pei said, "In my opinion, General Zhichong is confident, I am afraid that he has been prepared in advance! It depends on whether the enemy army has capable people who can see through General Zhichong's strategy and make a correct response!"
"Why do you care about this? Win or lose, we all have to fight hard! The only thing we have to think about now is to save our own lives!" sighed the older soldier.
Everyone nodded their heads, depressed.
"Knock, knock, knock......" After waiting for a while, an ear-shattering drum suddenly sounded in Bashui City, followed by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
"It's coming!" Cen Pei's face changed, and he immediately ordered, "Assemble, get ready as I said before!"
The surrounding soldiers immediately moved closer, clenched the bamboo guns in their hands one after another, and their hearts beat faster.
The horn sounded in the middle of the "woo ——!!" military formation, and then some standard-bearers began to wave the flag, and there were officers in the army, and orders were passed down layer by layer.
"Change the formation - the front army will be the rear army, the rear army will be transferred to the front army, and the army will march to Bashui County!"
"Change the formation - the front army is the rear army, the rear army is transferred to the front army, and the march to Bashui County ......"
The soldiers around Cen Pei all looked at him with admiration. It turned out that exactly as he said, the army began to turn.
The city gate of Bashui County was slowly lowered, and the heavily armed Gao Guo army appeared, led by several generals, with the cavalry team as the vanguard, and rushed out: "Kill ——!!"
"Bang! Bang!" The standard-bearers in the military formation here waved their flags and directly played the flag.
Immediately in the "——!! Killing" army array, a general galloped on his horse and ordered the whole army to attack.
"Boom~" The main army of Bashui County rushed out of the city like a flood, and the horses' hooves were like thunder.
"The infantry raised their spears in array! Bow and arrow volley!!" As the general order was handed down, the Qiguo army also responded, and soon formed a semicircle facing the city gate, the infantry in front held their spears high to form a dense gun formation, and the archers in the rear fired a volley, the scene was extremely spectacular.
——!!The Yuanzhou reinforcements on the side of the dense forest and the Miao County reinforcements on the bank of the river saw that the main force of Qiguo had turned, leaving only a small part of the team to continue to surround them, and immediately understood that the army in the city had come to help, so they launched a strong attack, preparing to merge and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.
The battlefield instantly became white-hot, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"Boom~!" The cavalry that rushed out of the city of Bashui County was the main force, and after losing hundreds of horses, they quickly broke through the infantry spear formation at the forefront of Qiguo.
After all, these are forcibly recruited recruits, who have not received special training, and belong to the cannon fodder type.
However, the main forces in the rear immediately filled up and fought bloody battles with each other.
On the battlefield of "poof!poof......", countless high-ranking cavalry shuttled through the Qiguo army formation, and the weapons in their hands flew up and down, constantly taking their lives.
Of course, there were also many cavalrymen who were stabbed down by spears, and the battle was fierce.
After the cavalry rushed over, the infantry and archers in the city rushed out, and finally entered the white heat.
"Jingle ......" was surrounded by the sound of weapons handing over, which was the collision of metal weapons of the main force.
As cannon fodder, the forced recruits can only use the wooden weapons in their hands to fight the enemy, and the casualties are extremely terrifying.
Diao Jun waved his bamboo spear in a panic on the battlefield, trying to follow Cen Pei and the gathered team of soldiers, and was almost slashed and killed by the cavalry rushing through the horse several times, which was quite dangerous.
He did not dare to kill, but soon an enemy rushed at him, and his sharp weapons slashed head-on, and countless arrows flew over his head, one of which slashed his scalp. Diao Jun, who was in a state of panic, learned that if he didn't kill someone, he would be killed, especially several companions around him who were talking and laughing before, but at this moment, they were either beheaded off by the enemy cavalry or killed by arrows, which aroused his bloodiness.
When a Gaoguo soldier of the same grade as him swung his knife and almost slashed his arm, Diao Jun avoided it and stabbed out with all his strength with the bamboo spear in his hand, hitting the opponent's thigh.
The soldier fell to the ground wailing and died of a shot in the neck by Cen Pei, who was next to him.
