Chapter 154: The arrogant soldiers will be defeated

Su Guang reported to Su Mengzhen: "The enemy's morale seems to be rising. ”

Su Mengzhen smiled: "It's a little interesting, the way to defend the land to boost morale and incite people's hearts is a great way to fight the wilderness." ”

"It's a pity that it's just a fight of trapped beasts. The enemy has been fighting for a long time, and his strength and numbers are at a disadvantage, and he cannot save the defeat by just gambling on morale. ”

He snapped his fingers: "Once the enemy collapses, our army will drive the enemy to the slope and attack the front and back, and we will be able to make the elite of the coalition army-"

"All of them. ”

Su Mengzhen's eyes flashed with ambition.

"The Father is wise. Su Guang praised.

At this time, the soldiers of Shenxiao were also considering.

Su Mengzhen cut off their back road, and if they wanted to escape at this time, the main road was no longer feasible. The dense sentry towers and arrow towers on the slope are now controlled by the Shentang army, and if they force their way through the pass from that direction, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

If you scatter and flee along the path, of course, you have a better chance of surviving, but the problem is that the soldiers of the Shenxiao Army are not familiar with life here, and they came to the rescue of Sanhe, and they did not take the opportunity to do something that harmed the people, if they acted completely out of the group, they might be used as prey by the angry people and the small wealthy clan, and they would rush up to kill them, taking away their weapons, armor and property.

At this time, the high morale determines the choice of the soldiers.

Su Mengzhen's purpose was to fight a war of annihilation, and he knew that cutting off the back path of the Shenxiao Army might provoke the enemy's heart, but he believed that this would only make the Shenxiao Army worse and completely collapse.

Only by annihilating a large number of Shenxiao elite soldiers can the Shentang have enough prestige capital. Otherwise, even if the Shenxiao Dao collapses, in the battle for Jingzhou, the Shentang will not be able to snatch the Qingcheng faction, which has a great cause.

Long Aotian restored the morale of the Shenxiao soldiers, which surprised Su Mengzhen a little.

But it wasn't a surprise to him.

In his opinion, as long as he continued to storm the Shenxiao Army's position, the enemy's recovered morale would be quickly depleted, and it would still be an irrevocable outcome if he collapsed and was slaughtered by his own side.

It's getting darker.

The battle is raging again.

In the turbid water, the two sergeants fought bravely.

The water layer on the ground was gradually stained red with blood.

Because a large number of soldiers of the Shenxiao Army fled, the remaining soldiers were only about half of the Shentang Army. However, the formation is still complete.

Long Aotian's strong words successfully boosted the morale of the Shenxiao Army, but it was indeed as Su Mengzhen expected, and it could not make up for the gap in strength.

The advantages that Su Mengzhen had established before could not be erased with a round of rhetoric.

For the time being, the two sides are evenly fought, but it seems inevitable that the Shindo army will regain the upper hand and crush the enemy army.

The sun finally sank below the horizon.

Stars twinkled in the sky, but not densely.

There are clouds tonight, which cover the moon and most of the stars.

The soldiers of the shrine seemed to be a little discouraged.

Obviously, his own people are outnumbered and have the advantage in the big battle, but from noon to night, he has not been able to defeat the enemy.

Eager to taste the fruits of victory, they couldn't help but get impatient.

However, judging from the current situation, victory should not be far away, and their own side has the upper hand, and there is no reason to flee at this time.

It's just that with the retreat of the Shenxiao Army, now both sides are fighting in the icy muddy water, and no one will feel comfortable in this environment.

Zen Master Xuezhai set his sights on Long Aotian.

"It's time. ”

"Yes, it's time for a comeback. ”

Two groups of figures approached silently in the night.

The two armies, which were fighting fiercely, did not seem to be aware of it.

until they came near.

The flying horse suddenly galloped into the middle of the temple army.

Su Mengzhen's face changed slightly.

"What? Where did the troops come from?"

The terrain of this plain is impossible to ambush. The mountains on both sides of Burning Bean Saka are under the control of the Shindo Army, and the enemy army cannot enter them at all.

He then burst into laughter: "It is a big mistake to think that if you approach in the night, you can exert the effect of ambush - there are not many enemy detachments, so divide two teams and go all out to destroy them and strike at the enemy's heart!"

Before the words fell, the sound of the sound was like a tidal wave.

A little blood bloomed on the two wings of the Shentang Army, and the screams were endless.

Gu Xichao was dressed in gold clothes, standing at the back of the queue, hooking his fingers.

"The only way to turn defeat into victory is to use arrows. ”

The Shrine Army on both flanks was about to pounce on this force, but they were stunned by the shooting.

"Three hundred steps away, to achieve effective killing...... How is this possible!" exclaimed the soldier of the temple.

The Shenxiao bow and arrow are sharp in the world, but the effective range of the soldiers will not exceed one hundred and fifty steps.

The flesh and skin of the soldiers are hard, and the armor is also specially strengthened, which can protect the body with true qi, and has a strong resistance to bows and arrows.

And now, the enemy is 300 paces away, killing and wounding a large number of Shentang troops!

Gu Xichao calmly ordered: "The enemy will take ten steps, I will take five steps, and the arrow will shoot one round." ”

This archery team, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, fought in an orderly manner and had a terrible order.

Long Aotian stretched out his palm violently and high-fived Zen Master Xuezhai.

"The big picture is decided. ”

Some of the deserters really fled.

But some people just pretend to run away and evacuate.

Evacuation is to return to the battlefield at the most critical moment and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

When they were infantry, they were mediocre in battle and were easily routed.

Because they were archers.

Su Meng's face changed suddenly.

He flew into the air until he was not far from the enemy's line.

The continuous rain of arrows made him dare not take it hard, so he had to fly back.

But he could already see with his excellent eyesight that the bows in the hands of these soldiers were strange.

There are three bowstrings, one above and one below.

Su Mengzhen knew that when Long Aotian was only the fifth son of Shenxiao Dao, he liked to invent some strange things.

This kind of pulley bow, which is terrifyingly powerful in range and lethality, must be the latest achievement of Long Aotian.

"Damn it......" Su Mengzhen gritted his teeth.

He returned to the formation and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy's bow only shoots farther, there is nothing to fear! Defeat the enemy and win the victory!"

But the priests of the temple looked at each other.

The fact that they couldn't attack for a long time before had already made them feel tired.

Now there is such a terrible archer in front of the battle.

Three hundred steps away, there is such a lethality, what about one hundred and fifty steps, what about a hundred steps, fifty steps?

The priests of the temple were no longer willing to take their lives to fill it.

They thought that this battle would be won, and they did not intend to fight it bloodily.

Coalition Army.

Long Aotian shouted wildly: "Now that the retreat has been broken, there is no other way for us to defeat the enemy army." ”

"Fight against the water, in one fell swoop, Shenxiao children, attack!"

Seeing that the two wings of the enemy army were shot by Gu Xichao's archers, Long Aotian said this again, and the cheers in the Shenxiao army were loud!

Since the Shentang Army has been forcing the Shenxiao Army to retreat, now the Shenxiao Army has withdrawn from the range of stagnant water, but the soldiers of the Shentang are stuck in knee-high cold muddy water.

Su Mengzhen's strategy of reducing the enemy's strength failed to collapse the Shenxiao Army in one fell swoop, which led to disaster on his own side.

Long Aotian took the lead bravely, shaking the sky with a bow and dancing wildly, the lightning flashed, and wherever he passed, the priests of the temple turned into charcoal.

Feng Shan Shuang floated over like a pink cloud, pulling Long Aotian's sleeve.

"Cousin...... What's going on?"

Although she felt joy when she saw that the situation had changed, she could not understand that the morale of the Shentang army had plummeted.

Long Aotian knew that his cousin didn't know the art of war, so he didn't explain it to her, but spoke directly to Su Mengzhen.

"Master Su. Long Aotian shouted: "Do you know the previous commotion, why did it spread so much?"

When Su Mengzhen heard this, he said coldly: "Why?"

Long Aotian laughed wildly: "If you already know that the enemy wants to stir up chaos within you, what should you do?"

Su Mengzhen was stunned.

Then he said slowly: "The plan will be calculated, and people will be planted within the people, deliberately conniving at the expansion of chaos, and killing all the people with ill intentions in order to collect the effect of military training." ”

He understood it perfectly.

Deworming operations.

Zen Master Xuezhai and Long Aotian not only had already seen through his plan, but also calculated that Su Mengzhen would not be cheap for the Qingcheng faction, so this commotion could not be fatal to Shenxiao.

Take advantage of the turmoil in the valley of the well, kill dissidents, clean up the interior, and collect the effect of training.

In other words, the eight thousand soldiers brought by Long Aotian this time, except for a small number of weak soldiers, were almost all elites, and they just didn't give full play to their combat effectiveness at the beginning.

The traps of the hundred-foot sword tower and the glaive array are all bait, allowing Su Mengzhen to break it, with the heart of the proud god hall.

And the defeat of the Three Rivers Army and Long Hui's department was completely in Long Aotian's calculations, just to give Su Mengzhen some sweetness first, so that he thought he would win.

After the battle, let the elite pretend to be weak and rout.

Okamoto Shin deliberately withdrew from Miyagi, just to lure Su Mengzhen to attack and cut off the back road of the Shenxiao army, so as to break the cauldron and fight against the water.

Then use the method of gambling morale to stimulate the maximum potential of the remaining troops.

In the end, Long Aotian asked Gu Xichao to recharge his elite archers who had almost never lost their physical strength because of their early withdrawal from the battlefield and attacked the flank of the Shentang Army.

Interlocking, ingenious. Su Mengzhen's calculations almost all fell into the enemy's calculations.

The first is the plan to pride the enemy, the second is the plan to defend the land, the third is the plan to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and the fourth is the plan to surprise the night soldiers.

Long Aotian's eyes were burning, he glared at Su Mengzhen, and said resolutely: "The mourning soldiers will win, and the proud soldiers will be defeated!"

The sound is like a thunderbolt, echoing between the two mountains, for a long time!

The morale of the Shenxiao Army was greatly boosted.

Su Meng's face changed sharply.

"Revenge, shame, defend my Jingzhou!"

"Wipe out all the invaders!"

The Shenxiao soldiers roared, their morale reinvigorated, and they stormed the Shentang army like angry wolves.

Elite archers armed with pulley bows poured a rain of arrows into the temple formation.

The Shentang infantry had always been accustomed to using thick formations, and in the face of the Shenxiao archers, whose lethality had increased dramatically, they suffered a great loss when they landed, often their armor was shot through, and they fell to the ground and died one after another under the meteor-like arrows.

"No, we're not here to die!"

Someone in the Shentang military array finally shouted.

It's not terrible to fight a tough battle, it's scary to know that the enemy who thought he was vulnerable was a real hard one.

This psychological gap is completely unacceptable.

The Shindo soldiers, who had been fighting fiercely for most of the day, were unwilling to fight another fierce battle like the last battle of Burning Beanzaka.

A victorious soldier will be arrogant, arrogant will underestimate the enemy, and the underestimating enemy will not want to fight hard.

The first to start deserting was the team of the Three Rivers Hao clan who defected. They were inherently loyal, and when they found the battle unfavorable, they were the first to retreat.

Next, the troops of Qingzhou Hall also fled backwards with the whole battalion. Among the gods, Qingzhou Hall is a special existence, and he has no good impression of Su Mengzhen, and this time he was completely coerced.

Once the battle situation is unfavorable, the internal contradictions in the Shentang army will completely erupt, like a volcanic eruption, which cannot be suppressed!
