Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.

After receiving Lian Po's instructions, although Di Chen did not have a seizure, he was very unhappy in his heart, "Old Lian Po is really getting more and more timid, but he has been defeated by the Great Xia Army a few times, so he is afraid of becoming like this." ”

The three legions of the Great Xia Janissary Guards and the four legions of the Great Jin Praetorian Guards did not have an overwhelming advantage in the comparison of troops compared to the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army.

"Even if you can't beat it, you can always do it if you drag the other party."

The strategy of the Great Zhou is very clear, as long as the Imperial Forest Army drags the enemy army for three or four days, and waits until the remaining Great Zhou Army exterminates the Flame Army and returns to the division, it is difficult to say who will bully whom.

Emperor Chen ordered: "Tell Lian Po to defend it for four days, otherwise you will come to see you." ”

"No!"

…………

On the outskirts of Luofeng City, the camp of the Imperial Forest Army.

After receiving the military order, Lian Po immediately mobilized, inspected the defense line and camp, and reorganized the army.

Like Shanhai City, Luofeng City is also a small basin with only one entrance to the outside world. The entrance is five miles long, in the shape of a flare, and the further you go, the narrower it becomes.

It was at this entrance that the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army was guarding in an attempt to lock Luofeng City to death.

Lian Po is an experienced veteran and known for being good at defense, and the difficulty of the Great Xia and Dajin coalition forces wanting to break through the defense line defended by Lian Po in a short period of time can be imagined.

This is also the source of Di Chen's confidence, he still doesn't believe it, the Great Xia Praetorian Guards are really omnipotent, and even such a steel defense line can be torn apart.

The only thing that is beneficial to the coalition army is that the narrowest part of the entrance, the Fengbao built by the Great Jin Dynasty, has not been taken by the Great Zhou army because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Otherwise, this battle will not be fought.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the coalition troops entered Fengbao one by one to make the final preparations before the battle.

As a military fortress and the last fortress of the Gongwei capital, the strength of Fengbao is naturally undoubted, it is as strong as the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, and it is impossible to take Fengbao in a short time.

There is a tall tower on the outside of Fengbao, the tower is 100 meters high, it is the tallest building of the fortress, and it is also the lookout platform of the fortress.

The two generals, Huo Quzhi and Meng Tian, under the leadership of the Fengbao guard, came to the highest part of the tower.

Historically, after the Qin State unified China, Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north, recovered Henan, led the army to build the Great Wall and the Kyushu Straight Road, and overcame the dilemma of domestic traffic blockage.

Huo Qubing is also famous for fighting against the Huns.

Although the two generals met for the first time, there was not much estrangement, Huo Qubing took the initiative to respect Meng Tian as the main general, one Meng Tian was the master, and Huo Qubing was a guest; The second is that Meng Tian was born in Qin, and Huo Qubing was born in Han and is a senior.

Meng Tian did not shirk and accepted it calmly.

The most taboo thing in the army is to order multiple doors, and unified command is very necessary.

Standing on the top floor of the tower, the wind hunted, blowing up the scarlet cloaks of the two generals, like a peerless double pride, Meng Tian pointed to the undulating camp of the Great Zhou Army outside the building, and said: "Lian Po is worthy of being a famous general of the Warring States, and the military camp is arranged in a certain way, and there is almost no weakness to see, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it." ”

Following Meng Tian's gaze, but seeing the camp of the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, it was arranged in a fan-shaped manner along the topography of the entrance, with the division as the basic combat unit, starting from the foot of Fengbao for a thousand meters and lining up to the outermost part of the entrance.

The white camp tents, fluttering flags of various colors, and neat and uniform military formations are spectacular.

Huo Quzhi and Meng Tian are both peerless generals, and they can see that the entire camp seems to be messy, but in fact, it is arranged according to the principle of Nine Palace Bagua, and breaking into it is like breaking into a giant labyrinth.

Now they are standing on a high place, and they can naturally see the layout of the enemy camp clearly, but once they are engaged and fall into the vast camp, if one is not good, they will not be able to distinguish things, let alone break the formation.

Once you enter the battle, you become blind.

Huo Quzhi said: "There are no weaknesses, there are weaknesses everywhere." The enemy takes the road of ingenuity, and we can only break it with force. Speaking of this, Huo Quzhi glanced at Meng Tian and said: "When attacking, one person needs to command in Fengbao, and one person to lead the troops to fight in the formation. The Great Xia Army is willing to be the vanguard. ”

As Huo Qubing said, since it is easy to become blind when entering the battle in the formation, then set up a pair of eyes in Fengbao, condescendingly, and command the army on the field through the flag.

This requires the commander to be in charge of the overall situation, and then flexibly command and dispatch according to the actual situation on the battlefield to ensure that the army on the field can break through the formation.

Meng Tian is undoubtedly a qualified candidate.

But Meng Tian was reluctant, "Let's be the vanguard, you command in the tower." After all, this is the home of the Great Jin, the first tough battle, and the Great Jin Army is duty-bound. ”

Although the Great Jin Dynasty is small, it also has backbone.

Huo Qubing still disagreed, "General, don't forget, the real purpose of this battle is to cover the Great Xia army to rush out of the enemy camp, if we don't attack, how can we break through?" ”

Meng Tian smiled, obviously thinking of this a long time ago, "Then let the Great Jin Army fight first, and probe the reality of the enemy camp for you." You are commanding in the tower, and you take the opportunity to find out the law of the change of the enemy camp, so that you will have a much greater grasp of the official battle tomorrow. ”

Seeing that what Meng Tian said was reasonable, Huo Quzhi agreed to come down.

Although they were confident, they were not confident enough that they could break the enemy with only the first charge. Such a large array like Lian Po's cloth must be repeatedly tested.

Otherwise, you think it's probably a trap left by the enemy.

If you are desperate, the boat will capsize in minutes.

The matter was settled, Meng Tian turned around and left the tower, went down to gather the troops, and prepared to go out of the city to formally fight the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army.

Before setting out on the expedition, Meng Tian instructed the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard like this.

"Sons, the Great Zhou Army has been arrogant for a long time, and we have endured it long enough. Now is the time for us to defend the glory of the Great Jin Dynasty and correct the name of the Great Jin Forbidden Army, what do you say? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The aggrieved soldiers of the Great Jin Forbidden Army have long been full of fighting spirit, and they are just a little bit.

Meng Tian saw this, nodded with satisfaction, he just fought with Huo Quai, to start the first battle, in addition to trying to fight the enemy, another purpose is to boost the morale of the army.

The Great Jin Forbidden Army needs a hearty battle to prove itself.

"Let's go!"

Meng Tian took the lead and led his troops to rush out of the gate of Fengbao and kill the enemy position.

Groups of ironclad cavalry rushed out of the gate, rolling up billowing smoke and dust, and behind the cavalry were the infantry running forward, rushing out of the gate of Fengbao and stepping into the battlefield.

Because it was a tentative attack, Meng Tian did not dispatch the whole army, and only ordered the first army to go out.

Even so, the smoke and dust raised by the 70,000 army still obscured the sky and the sun, like a tornado, rushing towards the camp of the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, intending to devour the enemy army.

The Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army also did not show weakness.

The camp that had just been calm was like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, boiling in an instant, and groups of sergeants suddenly appeared all over the barracks, ready to drown the enemy who broke into the camp.

Huo Qu at the top of the Fengbao Tower saw that he was sick, his eyes were fixed, and the big array placed by Lian Po really had some doorways. Thinking of this, Huo Quzhi became more concentrated.

Meng Tian is also powerful, since he had the idea of temptation, after leading his troops to kill in, with the intuition of a famous general, he led his troops to rampage through the camp, which seemed to be barbaric, but in fact he was constantly testing the reality of the enemy camp.

Huo Qu saw that he was sick, and his eyes were warm.

For the first time in the Great Jin Army, Huo Quzhi raised a trace of respect, this is a group of respectable partners.

…………

The camp of the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, somewhere on high ground.

Lian Po looked at the chaos in front of the formation, his face was calm, and he was obviously very confident in this formation. Under his command, five corps and twenty-five divisions coordinated in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating in a measured manner.

As time passed, the Great Jin Forbidden Army that broke into the formation was gradually cut off, ready to be divided and eaten.

That's when something happened.

I saw that the enemy army, which was still rampage just now, suddenly became vigorous again, and there seemed to be an invisible silk thread that connected them back into one.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the large array, the enemy troops who broke into the formation suddenly became flexible, or dodged or attacked, and the troops that had been scattered were magically gathered again.

Lian Po knew that he had met a master.
