Chapter 920: Rao's Army Attacked

During the march, Rao Jun had also been observing the movements of the Blue Army, because they had traveled a long distance, and they had been walking and stopping for a long time to rest. Based on Wu Xiu's good physique, walking twenty miles basically had no effect on many people, so the commander of the Rao army was not afraid that they would attack the blue army as soon as they arrived.

"General, the enemy army is less than five miles away from us," When the last spy came over to report the situation, Lin Xuanzhong and the others in the center of the array could already see the Rao army not far from them. The black pressed piece, the outline became clearer and clearer.

Rao's queue was long, and the formation seemed to be bigger than the Blues' formation.

"How is the deployment of troops?" After letting the spy retreat, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Zhang Jiutian on the side again.

"Everything is arranged according to the general's wishes, and after the archers take the lead, the light armored soldiers will meet the enemy troops rushing over as soon as possible, then the heavy armored soldiers, and finally the tens of thousands of elites led by General Ruan. ”

"The cavalry side is temporarily holding its ground, waiting for the general's order," in two paragraphs, Zhang Jiutian directly explained their current arrangements clearly.

"You will be responsible for the next battle," nodding, Lin Xuanzhong prepared to climb the viewing platform in order to observe the specific situation in wartime.

The general battle plan has been decided, and the next thing can be handed over to Zhang Jiutian, Lin Xuanzhong just didn't expect that the time to test the recruits would come so soon. Speaking of which, Lin Xuanzhong was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't know how many people were involved in this big battle, and he only hoped that the Blue Army side could lose less.

After Zhang Jiutian agreed, and the other generals did not express any objections, Lin Xuanzhong directly took several heralds to the viewing platform.

The Rao army is getting closer and closer, and judging from the huge formation, the whole Rao army is undoubtedly dispatched. Standing on the high viewing platform, Lin Xuanzhong noticed where Rao Jun's handsome flag was. Looking from afar, there was a tall beast carrying a wide chair on its body, and the person sitting on that chair was naturally Leng Yi, the commander of the Rao army. At that height, Leng Yi didn't need the people below to build a viewing platform for him.

When Lin Xuanzhong marveled at the height of Leng Yi's mount, Rao Jun was a little closer to the Blue Army. Looking closely, there were many people in civilian clothes in front of the Rao army array, mixed among some people wearing armor, looking very awkward. Compared to the stubborn Blues, Rao's armament is too haphazard. But after a simple thought, Lin Xuanzhong found the problem, those who were not fully armed in front of him must be the so-called "puppet army". ”

The Rao army really wants to use the puppet army to take the lead for them, and it seems that they really don't plan to care about the death of the puppet army, and then look back, judging from the uniform attire of the rear personnel, the real Rao army is behind the team. Earlier, the spies reported that the Rao army was a heavy shield soldier, specially used to form a shield strength against the cavalry, and now it seems that they were all deployed by the commander of the Rao army in a lower position.

When looking for the location of those heavy shield soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that the formation of the Rao army was a little special, the reason why the formation looked huge from a distance was because the middle of the large array was empty, and as the Rao army continued to advance, the vacant position became larger and larger. Now except for some people around Leng Yi, there are a lot of places that are empty, and Rao's formation is very similar to the phalanx described in the book of war, but the phalanx does not belong to the offensive formation, so Lin Xuanzhong can't be sure.

In addition, Lin Xuanzhong's understanding of the military array was limited to superficial knowledge, because there were many people in the Rao army, and he would not be able to see the shortcomings of this formation for a while.

Not long after, Rao's army stopped a stone's throw away from the blue army, and the outfits of those personnel were clearer, and it seemed that those puppet soldiers were really just weapons manipulated by Rao's army. In addition, because of the formation problem, the queue of the Rao army is much wider than that of the blue army, and once the blue army charges into the Rao army's large array and falls into the encirclement of the Rao army, it may encounter trouble.

However, the position of the commander of the Rao army is not guarded, and if the Blues can rush in and capture the enemy commander at the first time, then they can use this move to determine the victory or defeat, although the specific situation will not be known until the battle begins.

After Rao's army arrived, no one had any intention of talking to the front of the battle, and the blue army also had no intention of negotiating with Rao's army, and both sides seemed to know very well that there was no need to negotiate, and before long, they would definitely have a big battle.

"General Zhang, the enemy army has traveled a long way, and it seems that they want to rest in place, should we take the initiative to attack," under the battle platform, a general of the new army who had always supported Zhang Jiutian asked directly.

"No need, the position of the Rao army is not conducive to charging into battle, and it is more beneficial for us to wait for them to attack by themselves," Sitting on the horse, Zhang Jiutian could also see the deployment of Rao's troops, no matter how you looked at it, the Rao army seemed to be more suitable for defense.

"But now that the Rao army has just arrived, its physical strength has been exhausted, and it will also be beneficial if we attack at this time," Seeing that Zhang Jiutian did not want to change the way of fighting, and immediately afterward, another general asked questions, and the person who spoke seemed to be more inclined to grasp the fighter.

"30,000 cavalry should be left at a critical moment to use, although there are some advantages in attacking now, but after all, it is not big, unless it is to let the cavalry fight first," on the way here, Lin Xuanzhong had already said that he would treat the cavalry as a key means, but now that Lin Xuanzhong was not there, Zhang Jiutian had to explain to others in his own way.

Zhang Jiutian and the others were still talking, and at the same time, at Rao Jun's place, Leng Yi sat on the tall fierce beast, carefully observing the formation of the blue army. The Blues' layers of defence are not in a position to speak of, neither in attack nor in defence. Just after a brief look, Leng Yi determined that the Blue Army was waiting for them to attack according to the deployment of the Blue Army's troops, but Leng Yi didn't want to attack for the time being.

Since the Blues arrived before them, they were naturally ready to fight, so Leng Yi had to wait, and when the Blues lost patience and were unstable, or couldn't bear to take the initiative. There is time, and Leng Yi is not afraid that their people will lose patience first.

As a result, in such an awkward confrontation, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"General Zhang, could it be that the enemy army is deliberately trying to wear down our patience," Yang Shifeng gradually lost patience after waiting for so long.

"We are human beings, they are also human beings, there is no need to worry," Zhang Jiutian shook his head, they had little experience in such a confrontation, but like the enemy army, they had time. Although he was worried that the enemy army would suddenly come over, he didn't dare to take a good rest, but Rao Jun was not afraid to wait, but he didn't understand what it meant for Rao Jun to interfere with them like this.

At the same time, on the viewing platform, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were a little dry. The enemy army came but did not attack, as if he intended to kill time with them, which was very puzzling, and after repeatedly confirming that the situation of the Rao army was no different from his own, Lin Xuanzhong became more and more confused about what the commander of the Rao army had planned.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the people who are getting more and more impatient with the sun are getting more and more impatient, standing on the viewing platform, Lin Xuanzhong stretches out his hand to block the sun from time to time, feeling that the temperature is constantly rising, and the original sufficient patience is constantly disappearing.

"Marshal, the light is about to completely deviate to the north, and in another half an hour, the light will basically have no effect on us!" On the other side, Rao Jun, a Rao Jun general sitting on horseback suddenly said to Leng Yi above.

"Well, we will fight in half an hour," nodded, Leng Yi was amused by the fact that the Blues had been holding still. The Blues are missing their chances, and it seems that Lin Xuanzhong is not as good as rumored to be, and it is not wrong for them to come early today to test the Blues' combat strength.

"The enemy is really patient, and they don't choose to attack for a long time!"

"Our formation is already suitable for defense, how dare the enemy attack it, I expect the enemy army to see a little way. ”

"I don't think the enemy is an elite division, but a rabble, and in the final analysis, I am still worried about the disadvantage of the first battle. ”

"The composition of the enemy's forces is indeed mixed, with some elite troops and many new recruits, so it is natural for the enemy army to respond in a safe manner. ”

"But what's the use of the enemy being so conservative? Today they are facing those puppet armies, and I believe that those puppet armies will not let us down. ”

"Don't worry, as long as the fight starts, our army will definitely not disappoint them with this formation. ”

Next to Leng Yi's tall mount, some Rao generals talked very comfortably. For them, today's battle has nothing to do with them, they just want to take the opportunity to observe the reality of the Blues.

Unlike the comfort of the generals of the Rao Army, the longer they waited, the more anxious the Blue Army became. At first, they were waiting for the Rao army to attack, but now the Rao army was delayed, and they all gradually lost patience, and they were all a little anxious when they did not know what tactics the enemy was going to use.

For many people who are in a hurry, it is not as good as taking the initiative to attack, after all, it is not easy for them to stand all the time. As a result, due to the unknown situation, some soldiers still discussed Rao's plan, but the result was confused after all. In the blink of an eye in this helpless discussion, half an hour passed, and when some people were about to ask for battle from above, there was a sudden sound of drums from Rao's army.

The rhythm of the "dong dong dong......" drum is getting faster and louder.

Attracted by the sound of drums, the Blues, no matter what they had been doing before, all looked up and looked ahead.

"Archers prepare," Zhang Jiutian ordered a military order, and under the audience, more than a dozen war drums thundered. After waiting for more than an hour, the Blues, who had been impatient, finally waited for the war to begin.

"Kill, ......" The next time, there was a burst of charging sound from the ups and downs of the Rao army, and the Rao army in the middle part rushed forward for the first time. As they moved forward, the shouts became louder and louder, and the momentum became more and more neat, and the thousands of troops moved like thousands of horses galloping.
