On the third day of the 20th Army's defection, the main force of the Feng Army suddenly moved north and launched a surprise attack on the camp of the 13th Army Corps in Ningnan.

This time, the Thirteenth Legion, known as the Immortal Legion, still did not disappoint, and its performance was as stable as ever.

The whole army of 100,000 soldiers fled without a fight, and the army can be described as a thousand miles of collapse.

The huge camp, the solid earthen walls, and the criss-crossing trenches did not play any role, and the Feng army almost did not fire a single shot, and successfully occupied the large camp of the 13th Army Corps.

The wind army that scared away the thirteenth legion did not give up, and chased and killed the buttocks of the thirteenth legion, and 100,000 soldiers, like lost dogs, fled all the way to the north, and fled straight to the middle of Gaoyang and Jiuzhen City.

The 21st Army stationed in Jiuzhen City had already received news that the 13th Army had been defeated, and the main force of the Wind Army was pursuing it with all its might.

Fan Ru, the commander of the 21st Army, immediately sent a message to Zhang Tianyi Feige in Gaoyang, and agreed with Zhang Tianyi that the two armies would attack together, from the left and right, and form a trap on the main force of the Feng Army.

The Twentieth Army withstood the edge of the Wind Army, and the Twenty-first Army penetrated directly into the weak underbelly of the Wind Army, dividing the main force of the Wind Army into two, and then annihilating them one by one.

After sending the news to Zhang Tianyi, Fan Ru did not delay for a moment, and immediately led the army to attack, and the 21st Army avoided the edge of the front army of the Wind Army and went straight into the middle army of the Wind Army.

As the so-called snake fights seven inches, the middle army of the wind army is the heart of the wind army, once it is cut off here, the wind army is difficult to take care of, this battle, the Ningnan army will inevitably win a big victory.

This is the tactical concept of the Ningnan Army on the southern battlefield.

The 13th Army Corps that was arranged in front of the sudden was more like a bait, as long as the Wind Army came to fight, the 13th Army Corps would be defeated, once the Wind Army did not withstand the temptation and wanted to pursue the 13th Army and expand the results, then it would have to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

The 21st Army, led by Fan Ru, stormed the central army of the Wind Army.

The person who is now in charge of the Wind Army is Meng Qiuchen. Hearing the news of the Ningnan Army's attack, he was not in a hurry, calmly arranged the formation, and ordered the Second Army of the Zhenjun Army and the Eleventh Army of the Central Army to gather the main force and meet the battle with all their might.

The Feng Army and the Ningnan Army, in the plain area between Gaoyang and Jiuzhen City, launched a head-to-head confrontation between the tip of the needle against Maimang.

Both armies arrived here on a hurried march, neither carrying large artillery, and when the battle began, the infantry phalanx became the absolute protagonist on the battlefield.

In this battle, the Feng Army had two legions, with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops, while the Ningnan Army had only one legion with less than 100,000 troops. In terms of troops, the Ningnan army fell behind.

However, Fan Ru is not worried, in this battle, it doesn't matter if he can't penetrate the Chinese army of the wind army, as long as he can firmly contain the main force of the wind army here, and when the twentieth army rushes over, it is convenient to attack the front and rear and annihilate the main force of the wind army in one fell swoop.

With less fighting and more battles, the Ningnan army was not afraid, but had high morale and morale. The infantry phalanx took the initiative to advance towards the opposite wind army phalanx with uniform steps.

Seeing the enemy's attack coming, the wind army's side was not ambiguous, and the shouts of the generals came and went, and the phalanx of the wind army also advanced.

The two armies marched in the opposite direction, several miles away, getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long for the former officers and men of the two armies to be less than 100 meters apart, and the soldiers in the two armies opened fire almost simultaneously.

Bang Bang Bang -

In an instant, the sound of the explosion of the musket was one after another, and the swishing sound of the projectiles shuttling in the air was endless, and the popping sound of the projectiles piercing people's flesh and skin was indistinguishable.

The soldiers in the front row, with clouds of blood mist up and down their bodies, fell to the ground, and the soldiers in the back row stepped past the corpses of their comrades in front and continued to move forward.

The soldiers in the front row were almost dead and wounded, and the heavy shield soldiers began to push forward, and in the front row of the infantry phalanx, copper walls and iron walls were erected.

As the heavy shield soldiers pressed their positions in front, the speed of the two armies' advances slowed down significantly, but the sound of firing from the guns did not weaken, but became more continuous and continuous.

The soldiers in the back row of the heavy shield, after a round of volleys, immediately retreated, and the soldiers in the back stepped forward, and after a volley, they retreated again, and then the soldiers behind continued to push forward.

The fighting philosophy of the two sides cannot be said to be completely identical, but it is also inseparable.

In this kind of head-to-head battle, there is no opportunistic shortcuts, and there are no too many fancy tactical skills, and the soldiers on both sides compete completely with the amount of training on weekdays and the fighting willpower during the confrontation.

Even with heavy shield soldiers pressing the formation, in the process of advancing in the reverse direction of the battle formations on both sides, there were still people who were shot and fell to the ground from time to time.

When the distance between the two sides was from 100 meters to 20 or 30 meters, the soldiers on both sides not only used muskets and muskets to shoot at each other, but also joined the battle one after another with stone mines and mortars.

With the introduction of firearms of great destruction into the battlefield, the heavy shield soldiers in the front row are useless, and even if the shield array is strong, it cannot withstand a single mortar shell that has been smashed over.

Almost at the same time, the heavy shield soldiers on both sides withdrew to the rear of the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides, standing at close range facing each other, fired a volley at the opposing camp.

At this time, it was really a test of the willpower of the soldiers on both sides. It's so close that you can clearly see the enemy on the other side, and you can clearly see the muzzle of the enemy on the opposite side pointing at you, but you can't take a step back, you have to nail yourself to your post, keep the whole camp intact, and at the same time you have to calmly fire at the enemy and do your best to kill the enemy, although in the next second you may be pierced by the projectile fired by the enemy.

This kind of needle-point to Mai Mang, you stab me with a sword and I will slash you back, is not what the 21st Army is good at, nor is it what the 11th Army of the Wind Army is good at, but it is definitely what the 2nd Army of the Zhenjun Army is good at.

In the Zhenjun Army, the Third Army Corps was known for its elegant combat, the Fourth Army Corps was known for its excellent tactics, and the First and Second Army Corps were both known for their fierceness.

In a mature group army, there must be people who fight beautifully, and there must be people who can fight the art of fighting, but it is more necessary for someone to play the role of the anchor of the sea, good at fighting tough battles, and good at tackling tough problems, which is the meaning of the existence of the first and second legions of the Zhenjun Army.

At this time, in the close-range confrontation, the two sides were shooting back and forth, and if a soldier on the side of the Ningnan Army was shot, he basically screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers in the rear dragged him off the battlefield.

On the side of the Zhenjun Army, after the soldier was shot, people didn't seem to feel it, they didn't say a word, insisted on finishing the projectile in their hands, and then reloaded and fired.

Many of the soldiers of Zhenjun were shot several times, but they could still hold on and continue to fight, this kind of willpower that was close to madness could not only minimize their own battle damage, but also greatly deter the enemy, allowing them to overwhelm the enemy in momentum.

As the battle continued, the officers and men of the 21st Ningnan Army became more and more chilled, especially the Ningnan Army who directly faced the Zhenjun Army, which was suppressed and retreated.

Now that the two sides are fighting a clan battle, whether the overall formation can remain intact is crucial, and once there is chaos, the whole army will fall into passivity.

Seeing that two of his corps were killed by the opposite Feng army and retreated again and again, Fan Ru, who was watching the battle in the rear, was a little anxious, so he got off his binoculars and asked his subordinates: "Is the twentieth army coming?"

"General Hui, the Twentieth Army has not yet arrived!" said a partial general.

Fan Ru shook the reins of the war horse hard, and said in a condensed voice: "What the hell is Zhang Tianyi doing? I have already passed the book to him, and this place is close to Gao Yang, why is he still reluctant to lead the army to help?"

The "......" general lowered his head and did not dare to answer. The devil knows why the Twentieth Army has not come until now, according to the calculation of time, even if the Twentieth Army uses to climb, it should climb to the battlefield now.

Fan Ru took a deep breath, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and said: "The Fifth and Sixth Corps are now unable to resist the enemy's attack, let the First Corps go up, be sure to stop the enemy's offensive for me, and also, bring me back the Thirteenth Corps, even if they only contribute but do not contribute, they must stand on the battlefield for me to strengthen the momentum of our army!"

"Yes! General!"

The First Corps is usually a direct corps within the corps, and now Fan Ru has sent all the First Corps directly under the corps to the battlefield, obviously realizing that the current battle situation is extremely unfavorable to his side.

With the entry of the First Corps, the pressure on the Fifth and Sixth Corps was greatly reduced, and the rout of the two corps was finally stopped.

Just when Fan Ru and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a cavalry suddenly came out of the camp of the Zhenjun Army, and one of the generals headed by it was the vanguard officer of the Zhenjun Army, Guangfang.

Guangfang held the Heavenly Tiger Spear, and took the lead in the camp of the Ningnan Army, urging the horse to gallop, rampage, where the spirit spear passed, the golden spirit blade flew out in all directions.

These spirit blades bounced everywhere, and some of the soldiers standing more than ten meters away were affected by the spirit blades, and were swept by the spirit blades from their necks, and then, there was an extra blood line on the soldiers' necks, and there was still a frightened and dazed expression on their faces, but the human head had fallen from the shoulders, and the headless corpse was still standing upright in place.

The more than 1,000 cavalry led by Guangfang really seemed to be a sharp blade, deeply inserting into the vital points of the Ningnan Army, and directly stirring up the camp of the Ningnan Army.

The formation was in disarray, and the Fifth and Sixth Corps, which had just stabilized their positions and finally withstood the offensive of the Wind Army, fell into a rout again, and unlike just now, this time they were also defeated with the First Corps.

The three corps were killed by the Feng army and retreated again and again, with countless casualties, which made the entire camp of the Ningnan Army feel as if it had been hit with a heavy punch, and a big pit appeared.

The unfavorable operation of the First, Fifth, and Sixth Corps also directly led to the cowardice of the corps on the left and right, which was originally only a partial retreat of the Ningnan Army, but gradually evolved into a full-line retreat of the entire army.

At this moment, Fan Ru's heart was already hanging in his throat, and he knew very well in his heart that if he continued to fight like this, I am afraid that it would not be long before his soldiers were defeated, but defeated, and when that time came, even if the gods came, it would be difficult to save.

He asked his subordinates again, "Where is the 20th Army now?"

The generals around Fan Ru looked at each other, and no one could answer his question.

No one knows where the Twentieth Army is, and no one knows why the Twentieth Army has been delayed in coming to war. Just as the people's hearts were going up and down, some soldiers rushed to their horses and shouted, "Report-"

The soldiers rode to Fan Ru and galloped to the front, and before they even had time to get off the horse, they directly bowed their hands on the horse, and said urgently: "General Bao, the twentieth army has now arrived on the north side of the wind army!"

Hearing this, everyone present was in high spirits, and finally came! At the critical moment, the 20 th Army finally rushed over! Fan Ru was also relieved, and he was really worried that Zhang Tianyi would ignore him and let himself fight alone.

He took a long breath and said to the soldiers who reported the news: "You immediately go to the 20th Army, inform General Zhang, and immediately lead the army into battle, now is a good time for our army to annihilate the main force of the Wind Army in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, General!" the soldier agreed, and turned his horse away.

Everyone present smiled and said: "Feng Jun thinks he has won, but who can have the last laugh is not certain!"

"The current strength of the Wind Army is only about 100,000 people, and our side is an army of 200,000, and the Wind Army has completed the encirclement of the Wind Army, this battle, the Wind Army will be defeated!"

"Annihilate the main force of the Wind Army, the general has made immortal miraculous feats, and the imperial court will definitely reward the general heavily!"

The officers and soldiers of the Ningnan Army who were fighting in the front had been beaten by the Feng Army only with the ability to parry and had no power to fight back, but the generals of the Ningnan Army in the rear began to discuss Fan Ru's exploits after this battle. If the soldiers of the Wind Army are present, I'm afraid my eyes will have to fly out. Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
