Chapter Seventy-Five: Fight to Fame
Sun Shixu ordered the flag to charge.
There are no reserves and no reserves are needed.
Sun Shixu was accompanied by only sixteen personal guards.
The 6,000 Dingnan capital quickly launched a surprise attack according to the banner situation.
Forcefully smoothed the tip of the Southern Tang Army, which was about to break through the flank.
The balance of the tide of battle was reversed.
Liu Renzhen smiled, there is no reserve? In his opinion, a general without a reserve is not a qualified general. He also has three thousand elites by his side. Liu Renzhen did not use the reserves, because the reserves had to be used at the most critical moment.
Although the battle situation began to be unfavorable to the Southern Tang Army, Liu Renzhen firmly believed that his 27,000 soldiers would definitely withstand the all-out attack of the Jingnan Army, and at that time, his 3,000 elites would become the sharpest knives to harvest the heads of the Chu army.
Liu Renzhen accurately estimated the combat power of the soldiers under his command, but mistakenly underestimated the will of the Jingnan army.
If it is true that the soldiers led by Liu Renzhen can defeat the Jingnan Army, the soldiers led by Liu Renzhen cannot defeat the soldiers of the Jingnan Army who are about to become the Black Flag Army.
For the honor of soldiers, it is the wish of every soldier of the Jingnan Army to become a soldier of the Black Flag Army.
In terms of military salary, being able to become a soldier of the Black Flag Army is the pursuit of every soldier of the Jingnan Army.
So, an hour later, Liu Renzhen's confidence began to waver.
Because it is clear that the situation on the battlefield proves that the Southern Tang army began to retreat.
This retreat is not a rout, but the speed at which the soldiers in the back row rush forward to replenish after the soldiers in the front row are killed.
The number of brave soldiers began to decrease. As a result, the viewer's vision creates the illusion that the soldiers in that direction are retreating.
The formation of the Southern Tang Army was slowly devouring.
Finally, Liu Renzhen still gave the order for 3,000 elites to join the battlefield. He didn't want to keep the reserve either.
But what he didn't expect was that Sun Shixu didn't leave the reserve team in order to fight against the water, and he didn't leave the reserve team in order to reverse the battle.
Liu Renzhen was known for his loyalty and bravery, and when he gave the order to charge, he took the lead and rushed to the battlefield. Since the reserves are no longer left, it is a battle to the death, and since it is a battle to the death, a certain person will take the lead.
Sun Shixu smiled because he forced Liu Renzhen to join the battlefield in person.
For that alone, he is entitled to laugh. It is enough to be proud to be able to force the famous generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty to personally lead the charge.
So, Sun Shixu began to lead the sixteen guards to join the battle group. Since the famous generals have all taken the lead, what does it matter if such a junior dies in battle?
The generals of both sides joined the warband at the same time, turning the tide of battle once again.
Three thousand against seventeen, by no means in an order of magnitude.
Cold weapon battles are often like this, once the commanders of both sides join the battle group, the soldiers on both sides will invariably make way for their commanders to make a passage for their commanders, so that the commanders can face each other, and the personal guards of the commanders follow closely behind to protect the commanders.
Liu Renzhen looked at Sun Shixu with pity, he had fought for many years, and he had never seen such a fearless Confucian general on the battlefield. In Liu Renzhen's eyes, Sun Shixu should be a Wenchen, and there are countless Wenchen who led the army to fight in this era.
For the first time in his life, Liu Renzhen felt unbearable that he was about to kill such a young and delicate general. But the battlefield is a battlefield after all, and if you can't bear it, you just can't bear it, and the Mo knife still slashed through, with a buzzing sound that tore through the air, and slashed at Sun Shixu's head.
The terrible thing about Sun Renxu's sword technique is not the strength of the sword.
It's fast. It's tricky. It's as tricky as a ghost. Possessed by ghosts. Wuji once commented on Sun Shixu's knife skills.
If this kind of knife technique is fought between thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, it will not take much advantage, but now, Sun Shixu quickly urged the horse to face him when Liu Renzhen slashed down.
A knife.
It's just a knife.
If it weren't for one of Liu Rengan's personal guards, seeing the opportunity, he pounced on him and used his life to hit the knife crookedly.
Sun Shixu will behead Liu Renzhen and establish a great reputation.
But there are no ifs.
Sun Shixu's killer knife hit the front, his right hand backhanded, from the bottom left to the right up, the knife that was picked up was crooked by Liu Renzhen's personal guard, but it also cut Liu Renzhen's right shoulder armor, and cut off Liu Renzhen's helmet in the aftermath, took away a clump of hair, and the most serious thing was that Liu Renzhen's face was scratched, and blood began to flow.
Liu Renzhen's personal guards were frightened, and hurriedly dragged the main general and quickly retreated, and the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army also quickly closed the passage to cover the main general's departure.
At this point, the rhythm of the battlefield began to change.
The morale of the side that wins the main battle is bound to be greatly boosted.
The Jingnan Army once again began to turn the tide of the war.
The fight continues.
But the frequency of fighting began to decrease because of the excessive physical exertion.
The soldiers of the Southern Tang Army began to slowly become irresistible.
The Jingnan army, which was flanked horizontally on both sides, began to converge into a horizontal formation, and the threat of victory from the Dingnan capital in the middle of the horizontal formation began to rush.
The middle of the Southern Tang Army's horizontal formation began to retreat, and the balance of the battle began to turn sharply in favor of the Jingnan Army.
At this moment, there was an angry shout from the rear of the Southern Tang Army, it was Liu Renzhen who shook off his personal guards, got on his horse again, and let out an angry roar.
The main general is fine, and this news shocked the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army.
As a result, the tide of battle began to slowly turn again.
……。
The sun is setting.
The two sides had been fighting fiercely for nearly five hours and were exhausted.
In addition to staring at each other with their eyes, they didn't even have the strength to stare at each other.
Start with one, then two, ten, hundred...... The soldiers began to sit on the ground.
Without the orders of the commander, all the soldiers sat on the ground to rest.
Exhausted after the Great War, the soldier would rather be killed himself now than stand up and kill.
At this time, in the afterglow of the sunset, the forbidden army led by Liu Yan appeared in the field of vision.
This team will be the key to this victory.
The eyes of the soldiers sitting on the ground of the Jing Nanjun flashed and began to gather strength.
At this time, Liu Renzhen naturally saw that it was impossible to do anything, and Liu Renzhen decisively ordered the flag to withdraw the army.
It is unimaginable that the Southern Tang Army can still stand up and be ordered to retreat westward.
Liu Yanbu was several miles away and couldn't get there.
Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the soldiers of the Jingnan Army who were shining-eyed tried to stand up and prepared to stop the retreat of the Southern Tang Army.
Tuo Ran found that he didn't have the slightest strength and couldn't take a step.
watched the Southern Tang Army gradually move away......
The soldiers of the Jingnan Army were very frustrated, with the same fight, the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army were able to retreat so calmly, but they did not have the strength to take a step. In fact, this is really not to blame Jing Nanjun, in human nature, survival is instinct. What's more, the arrival of reinforcements actually had the effect of making the soldiers of the Jingnan Army unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Sun Shixu was very frustrated, he was thinking in his heart, if this was the Black Flag Army under Ziqing, maybe he would be able to leave Liu Renzhen behind.
