Chapter 254: The Battle of Huhao

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Fang had no choice but to stay, and decided to fight with the First Legion.

The decisive battle between the two sides was chosen in the Huhao Plain in the northwest of Jiashang County, and this battle was also the most famous battle of Huhao in the Battle of Jinmu.

In terms of the wooden army, the central army of the wooden country led by Zhou Fang plus the local scattered army, the strength of which reached more than 230,000 people. On the Jin army, the First Army of the Jin State led by Ding Feng had a strength of nearly 100,000.

The total strength of the two sides was more than 300,000, and a great battle of death was launched in the Huhao Plain.

The deployment of the wooden army was to put the most elite central army in the center, which was personally commanded by Zhou Fang, and the two wings were local scattered armies to cooperate with the Chinese army.

The Jin army's formation was diametrically opposed, Ding Feng put all the elites of the First Army on the two wings, and the rest of the troops formed the Chinese army.

The military formations of the two sides were lined up on the Huhao Plain, and as far as the eye could see, the camps of the two sides were clearly divided.

On one side is black, black with red, and on the other side is silver, bright as a mirror, but after all, the strength of the wooden army is more than twice that of the Jin army, and the military array looks extremely large, overwhelming, like a layer of silver on the grassland.

Before the battle, Ding Feng deliberately called all the partial generals and corps commanders under his command to his approach, looked around at everyone, and asked with a smile: "Generals, are you afraid of this decisive battle with the enemy?"

"The last general is not afraid!" everyone replied in unison.

Ding Feng smiled, what his subordinates said soundly, in fact, their slightly pale faces said it all.

He laughed out loud and said proudly: "The enemy is outnumbered, and it is a local battle, the wooden army seems to have the advantage, but in fact there is nothing to fear, although the wooden army has more than 200,000. But more than half of them are rabble, scattered armies, with no combat power, and can only serve as a façade, and when they encounter my golden tiger and wolf army, they will fall apart in a moment. ”

As the commander of the First Army, Ding Feng is so confident. Calmly and unhurriedly, the generals below are naturally full of confidence, the fear in their hearts has decreased sharply, and their faces are full of murderous energy, rubbing their fists and grinding their palms.

Ding Feng continued: "In the eyes of this commander, the wooden army is like a mustard, and what stands in front of our army is not 200,000 enemies, but 200,000 military exploits, ranking generals. Today's battle is an opportunity for you to make miraculous achievements and become famous, if you miss it, you will never find it again. ”

"The last general understands!" The more relaxed Ding Feng said, the more confident the generals below became, and the more vigorous their fighting spirit became.

"Hehe, Zhou Fang, the lost dog, has led our army through half of the wooden country, today. And he shall take off his dog's head. Generals, it's up to your luck. Don't forget, since General Lu Kai was injured, the post of deputy commander of our army is still vacant!" Ding Feng's meaning is already obvious, as long as he can take off Zhou Fang's head, he will have the opportunity to become the deputy commander of the First Army.

The temptation was too great, and the First Legion was in the first place among the armies of the Jin Kingdom. Even if he is a deputy commander, when he encounters the commanders of other armies, he has to be polite.

After Ding Feng finished speaking, people's eyes were not only full of fighting spirit, but also a strong sense of greed.

Ding Feng aroused the fighting spirit of the commanders of the corps. It is tantamount to pushing the fighting spirit of the whole army to the top.

As the war drums of both sides beat, the military formations of the two armies began to press forward towards each other.

Before the two armies came into contact, the arrow array was the first to be launched.

The arrows of both sides met in the air, and the sound of countless carved feathers breaking the wind formed a symphony of death, and rows and groups of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and then more soldiers stepped mercilessly over their bodies.

After the arrow formation, the battle formations of the two sides had come into contact with each other.

This is a head-to-head confrontation between the tip of the needle and the Maimang, and in the battle, there is no shortcut, all relying on their true strength.

In the early days of the battle, the two sides fought evenly with a momentum, and as the battle continued, Ding Feng's platoon showed its might.

The elites of the two wings of the First Army met the local scattered army of the Wood Country, and the combat power of the two sides was not at the same level at all, and the more stubborn the battle, the more people were killed and wounded, and it was not only the combat power that fought at this time, but also the experience and psychological quality.

Many local scattered armies have never fought a single battle in their lives, and now they are being pushed into battle, and they are fighting against the most ferocious First Legion, where can they stand it?

Looking at the hideous features, bloodthirsty faces, and beastly roars of the enemies in front of them, they frantically brandished their weapons, cutting down and stabbing their brothers one by one, and the scarlet blood, the stumps and severed arms all over the ground, and the screams and wails that were all over the ground constantly stimulated their senses.

Where is this still the world, but a living hell, and in many places the scattered army could not withstand such blood and cruelty, and their spirits broke down, and they fled in all directions with strange screams.

The frightened and irrational soldiers went on a rampage, and instead of running to the opposite Jin army, they smashed their own battle formations into pieces and were in chaos.

On the battlefield, the psychology of panic is more terrible than the plague, and it spreads much faster than the plague.

At first, it was just a handful of wooden soldiers who were afraid to fight, but then it quickly evolved into a formation and a corps of wooden soldiers who retreated without a fight, and the neat camp of the wooden army began to deform.

The two wings of the First Army, like two sharp lancets, were cutting on the wooden army, directly separating the two wings of the wooden army from the Chinese army.

By this time, the situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically.

The two wings of the wooden army retreated, while the Chinese army broke forward, and the Jin army was the Chinese army withstanding the enemy, and the two wings were outflanked on both sides, and the Chinese army led by Zhou Fang was surrounded in the middle.

Zhou Fang, who was personally in command, naturally saw that the battle situation was out of control, and he gave the order to go down, quickly beat the drums, and urged the soldiers on both wings who were afraid to advance immediately to reinforce.

The central army of Muguo beat the war drums to the earth, and the cowhide drum surface was broken several times, but the local scattered army turned a deaf ear and still did not dare to step forward.

The local scattered army in Muguo did not listen to the command, first, they did not receive formal training in battle formations, and no matter how loud the war drums of your Chinese army rang out, they did not know that the commander was telling them to advance; second, the local scattered army was really afraid of the First Legion, and they were usually in the locality, at most, they were a bandit, where did they encounter such a fierce enemy as the First Legion?

Now they have only one thought in their hearts: Flee, no matter where they flee, in short, the farther away they are, away from these beasts and demons in front of them

Just as Ding Feng had predicted, the scattered troops in the area, which were close to 100,000, were all rabble, vulnerable to a single attack, and instead of helping the Central Army on the battlefield, they became a scourge that affected the morale of the whole army.

For this point, Ding Feng, who climbed up from the bottom, was calculated, but Zhou Fang, who was born as a hereditary magnate, did not expect it.

The more than 100,000 Muguo Central Army was surrounded by the First Army Corps and fell into a bitter battle on all sides.

At this point in the battle, Zhou Fang saw that his side had no chance of winning, and immediately decided to break out.

But at this time, if you want to break through the encirclement, how easy is it? The heavy shieldmen of the First Army Corps were at the front, blocking the wooden army to the death, and the halberd men in the back frantically stabbed forward, and the wooden soldiers who broke through were stabbed down row after row, not only did they not break through the encirclement of the First Army, but the encirclement was gradually shrinking, and the 100,000 Central Army was overstocked into a mass, and there was no battle formation at all.

The battle lasted from dawn to dusk, and it was not over, but there was not much left of the central army in the encirclement, and a large number of soldiers died tragically under the chaotic blades of the first army, even the wooden soldiers in the center of the crowd were not safe, and they had to be on guard against cold arrows falling from the sky at all times.

When it was dark, the attack of the First Army did not stop, and the soldiers continued to maintain a high-pressure attack with torches and rockets.

The wooden army in the encirclement was exhausted, and people couldn't help but wonder again whether the soldiers of the First Legion were human beings or monsters, and they were not tired after such a fierce battle for a whole day?

After all, the First Army Corps was the first to receive Lin Haotian's devilish training, and it has been used to this day, and the officers and men of the whole army have strong explosive power and sufficient endurance; in addition, the First Army Corps is fighting deep into the enemy's territory, and there is no way to retreat, either win or die, and under the belief that either the enemy dies or we die, no matter how hard and tired they are, as long as they can still stand and pick up the weapons in their hands, people will not retreat from the battlefield.

After another night of fighting, it was almost dawn.

At this time, the battle between the two sides also lasted for twelve hours. (To be continued......)
