Chapter 277: Battle Array

Sure enough, when Nan Ye rushed into the center of the Huainan Army with more than 2,000 newly formed rebels, a loud bang suddenly sounded from the crowd of the Huainan Army.

Immediately, everyone saw a cloud of smoke rise in the sky. Nan also felt a sense of foreboding when he saw the smoke in the air.

Although he vaguely felt that someone in the Huainan army was launching fireworks at this time, which was a signal to launch an action.

But now they are ready to send arrows. In Nan Yike's opinion, the rebels were originally able to hold on to the Huainan army without an advantage in numbers, and now that more than 2,000 people led by themselves have joined the rebels, it should be even more powerful.

In his mind, he would definitely be able to completely defeat the Huainan Army with one blow, and Mu Qingyun's head would become a merit on his waist after all.

Thinking of this, Nan Ye couldn't help but cheer loudly again to the rebels who had been accepted.

"The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, when he wore a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, and now the enemy is also in front of the meritorious service, the soldiers rushed to me, and killed the enemy to make meritorious contributions!" With Nan Yi's encouragement, all the rebels were red-eyed, their foreheads were blue, and they were panting.

These rebels were originally water bandits who were eager to kill on a daily basis, but now this kind of scene makes their blood boil for them.

"Huh! It looks like the big fish has taken the bait! Zhang Shuliang in the crowd looked at Nan Yeke in the distance with a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time.

"yes, this fish is really not small!" The deputy general next to Zhang Shuliang said happily.

And Mu Qingyun, who was surrounded by the crowd, was bright. He was startled by the loud bang above his head.

Even the despair he felt before when he saw the sudden addition of two thousand rebels was forgotten with fright.

"General Zhang, there are more than 2,000 rebels now, how can we do this?" Mu Qingyun didn't know at this time that all this in front of him was a game set up by his father in advance.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured, no matter how many of these chickens and dogs are in front of you, they won't be able to become the climate." Zhang Shuliang's eyes showed contempt.

"But now that the number of rebels is no longer below us, our current situation is not optimistic!" At this time, Mu Qingyun began to worry about whether the Huainan army would be able to resist the rebels.

"Your Highness, please take care of it!" Just after Zhang Shuliang said this, the originally flustered Huainan Army suddenly spread rapidly in all directions.

The rebels who had already rushed out of the alley were killed again. At the same time, the Huainan Army, which was still on Xuanwu Avenue, began to shrink rapidly, and the originally scattered formation became a neat phalanx in an instant.

The rebels who had previously rushed into the Huainan Army were quickly cleared out in the Huainan Army's change formation. When the Huainan army completed the formation, Nan Ye realized that he was afraid that he was going to plant it this time.

As a veteran who has been fighting in the field all year round, he knows very well that the Huainan Army at this time is not as useless as they thought before.

And the panic and scattering of the Huainan Army before were simply deliberately pretended. Their purpose is clearly to lure themselves out.

"I didn't expect this Mu Qingyun to be so scheming, and he was also so bold, he actually used himself as a bait, and if he didn't get rid of it, he would become a great weapon in the future!" Nan can not help but sigh.

But now that I'm ready to send it, I have to send it.

"Everyone listens to the order, our goal this time is to kill Mu Qingyun, once Mu Qingyun is killed, the overall situation can be decided, so everyone's only goal now is to kill Mu Qingyun." The rebels behind him were already excited by Nan Yi's previous enthusiasm at this time, and the performance of the Huainan Army's crotch before made them feel that the Huainan Army's current change of formation was just a bluff.

So they all yelled and rushed towards the Huainan army. Facing the rebels who rushed up, Zhang Shuliang smiled coldly.

Blocking the front, facing the Huainan army, they lined up in a neat formation, slowly approaching the rebels step by step.

Their speed was much slower than that of the rebels, but at the moment their momentum was calm and heavy.

The rebels didn't realize how strong these people in front of them were, but when the two of them collided together, the rebels who rushed to the front realized that the Huainan army in front of them was completely different from what they imagined.

When the rebels rushed in front of them, the Huainan army in the front row suddenly half-crouched down, and at the same time, they blocked their left arms horizontally in front of them, and the long swords they held in their right hands were facing straight forward.

In this way, a wall of swords was formed in front of them, like a horse rejection. And the Huainan army in the row behind them also blocked their left arm horizontally across their chests like them, and their right arm was slightly raised, and the long sword in their hand was placed on their left hand, making a gesture of being ready to attack at any time.

Before the rebels came into contact with the Huainan Army's formation, they suddenly felt a sudden pain in their thighs, and the original tendency to rush forward couldn't help but slow down.

But the rebels behind them didn't realize that their comrades in front of them had been wounded, so they continued to rush forward.

As a result, the rebels at the front were crowded forward by the rebels behind. And this time it took the lives of the rebels in the front row.

The rebel soldiers in the front row had no time to brake due to the crowding of the rebel soldiers behind them due to inertia, so they crashed straight into the long sword that the Huainan Army soldiers in the second row had on their left arms.

Since the long sword in the hands of the Huainan Army soldiers at this time was on his left arm, the tip of the long sword was aimed at the neck of the rebels.

So the row of rebel soldiers who rushed to the front was pierced through the throat by a sword of the Huainan soldiers.

However, although the Huainan Army killed all the rebel soldiers in the first row, the Huainan Army's charge still did not stop.

After the rebel soldiers in the back saw that their comrades in the front row were killed, they all held long knives and slashed towards the front door of the Huainan army.

At this time, the soldiers of the Huainan Army raised their left arms high in front of them. The next second

"Jingle bells" are like firecrackers. The rebels who thought that they could easily cut down the Huainan army to the ground were dumbfounded.

They suddenly found that their long knives did not cut the Huainan soldiers into limbs and bloody flesh, but their long knives were actually blocked by the Huainan army.

"What the hell is going on?" For a while, the rebels who brandished their long knives and looked at the Huainan Army were a little confused, so they were now full of question marks.

They are all old bandits, and they have participated in many battles and killed many people, but they have never encountered a person who can't cut with a long knife.

"Could it be that these Huainan troops are all gods who are not bad in King Kong?" The blood of the rebels, who had been instigated by Nan Yi, was suddenly frightened and cold.

In this era, both high-ranking officials and ordinary people will more or less believe in the so-called ghosts and gods.

And these bandits believe in the place of ghosts and gods more than ordinary people, after all, they will always think of some way to make them feel at ease if they do too many bad things.

Therefore, worshipping ghosts and gods has become the best way to relieve one's mental stress. And today, when they found that the long knife in their hands couldn't cut the Huainan Army, they immediately thought of the invulnerable godman.

But before they could pray to the gods they believed in, they felt a sudden chill at the junction of their necks and shoulders.

Then they saw a mist of blood spraying out of the base of their neck, and then fear and pain rushed up to them.

It was only then that they could see what had just touched their necks and shoulders.

It turned out that after the first row of the rebels fell, the rebels in the back row rushed forward with weapons in their hands, while the Huainan soldiers in the third row jumped high on the shoulders of their comrades in front.

When they reached the top, he stabbed his short sword in his right hand downward. At this time, the rebel soldiers in the second row had just rushed to the front, so the short swords were easily plunged into their bodies from above.

There are also many Huainan soldiers' short swords, after stabbing the rebels, they continue to go downward, directly piercing the opponent's heart.

In an instant, the rebels in the second row fell again in large numbers. However, although a small number of rebel soldiers managed to dodge the Huainan army's top-down long sword, they still did not escape.

For it was here that many of them felt a piercing pain in their thighs, and then they enjoyed the treatment enjoyed by the rebels in the first row.

A long sword pierced the rebels' necks. After doing all this, the rebel soldiers in the second row, who rushed to the front, were once again left alone.

And those rebels who lost their minds because of panic did not understand why the Huainan army could directly block their long knives with their left arms until they died.

In fact, this is also very simple, as long as the rebels pay a little attention, they will find that the sleeves of those Huainan soldiers who were cut off in the arms by themselves reveal a hint of silver-white light.

And their arms are relatively difficult to move, because they have special pure iron arm guards tied to their sleeves.

Although this thing is very bulky to carry in the sleeve, it is most practical to use in this kind of defensive battle formation.

Just when the rebel soldiers fell one by one, the formation of the Huainan Army suddenly changed, and the originally tight formation suddenly dispersed, and the distance between the soldiers of the Huainan Army was immediately widened.

And the three rows of Huainan Army that were originally at the front immediately retreated from the crowd, and the distance between the rebels and the Huainan Army that had already bumped into each other was widened again, and the Huainan Army soldiers who were originally in the fourth row suddenly became the first row in the front at this time.

And their defensive posture was exactly the same as that of their comrades in the first row just now. So the new round of fighting was exactly the same as the previous round, the rebels were first stabbed in the leg by the half-crouching Huainan army, then by the second row of Huainan soldiers through the neck, and finally the third row of Huainan soldiers jumped up and stabbed the rebels in the neck and heart.

As a result, the rebels fell in two rows again. Then the Huainan army dispersed again, and then the Huainan soldiers in the first three rows immediately retreated.

In this way, the soldiers of the Huainan Army fought and retreated, but they always maintained a peaceful formation and pressed the rebels' attack to the death.

As the Huainan army continued to retreat, the rebel soldiers continued to die. Soon, they had retreated more than ten meters away, and the rebels had fallen more than ten meters under the feet of the rebels.

Seeing this situation, Nan Yi knew that if this continued, the rebels on his side would be wiped out by the Huainan army little by little.

"Stop the charge now!" Nan Yi decisively asked the rebels to stop the charge, and Nan Yi had just given the order from the rebels to stop their actions immediately.

Because they have now been killed by this strange battle formation of the Huainan Army. If they continue to charge, they are afraid that they will lose their lives, although the temptation to make achievements is great, but the premise is that they must be famous to enjoy it.

"Nan Shuai can't go on like this, we can't break through these Huainan Army's battle formations at all!" Nan Yike said with a sad face as a soldier of the Gentleman's Army beside him.

Although the people who charged just now were all the water bandits they recruited, these people were also the soldiers they brought out after all, although they didn't get along for a long time, they were still a little reluctant.

"Humph! There is no unbreakable battle formation in this world, it's just that the method is wrong! Nan Yi looked at the battle formation gathered by the Huainan army and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Immediately order the whole army to approach, but do not attack, and then arrange for men to strip off the clothes of the dead in battle!" Nan Yi pondered for a moment and thought of a way to deal with it.

"Nan Shuai, these brothers have all died in battle, and we still have to rip off their clothes, isn't it a little too cold." A rebel spoke cautiously, this person was a former bandit leader, and when he heard Nan Yi's order, he immediately felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

But he didn't dare to oppose it directly, so he carefully reminded him, after all, anyone who is a great person pays attention to the deceased, and the earth is safe.

Now these rebels obeyed Nan Ye's arrangement and charged and died, and the corpses were not even cold, and Nan Yi had to rip off their clothes, which was really unkind.

"If we don't break the Huainan Army's military formation now, our remaining brothers will be eaten away little by little." Nan Ye said in a cold tone.

"Yes! Nan Shuai! Immediately, his subordinates immediately arranged manpower, and the rebels who had been imposing just now gathered together again and approached in the direction where the Huainan army was.

But when the distance between the two sides was still three or four meters, the rebels suddenly stopped and stalemate with the Huainan army.

"Why didn't these rebels attack General Zhang?" Mu Qingyun looked at the rebels who were standing in place and no longer advancing.

"Your Highness, maybe it's because they lost too much in the wave of attacks just now, and now they are too scared to attack again!" Before Zhang Shuliang could speak, the deputy general beside him took the lead in speaking.

Hearing what the deputy general said, Mu Qingyun shook his head slightly. In his opinion, the adjutant general's guess did not have the slightest truth at all, to say that the losses of the rebels in the wave of attacks just now were indeed not small, Mu Qingyun roughly calculated that the other party had at least one or two hundred casualties.

But to say that they were frightened and didn't dare to attack, Mu Qingyun didn't believe it. Because although the rebels are no longer attacking now, they are standing motionless in front of the Huainan army, maintaining a confrontation with their own side, if they are really frightened, they should break up.

"Don't talk nonsense, although I don't know what these rebels are going to do, but this time it is Nan Yeke, one of the famous generals of the Yue country, who leads these rebels." Zhang Shuliang also believes that things are not as simple as the deputy general thinks.

Zhang Shuliang also knows a little about Nan Yi, who is also a great figure among the many generals in Yue.

He participated in the wars of the northern steppe tribes many times, during which he was full of scheming and often defeated the cavalry of the steppe tribes, and it can be said that this man was a real wise commander.

It would be a joke for such a character to say that he would be stumped by his own little tricks.

"What? The person who commanded the rebels turned out to be the deputy commander of the Yue Junzi Army, Nan Yeke? "Mu Qingyun has also heard of Nan Ye, but he has never met Nan Ye, so he doesn't know what Nan Ye looks like.

However, Zhang Shuliang, as a member of the Huainan Army, has gone to the northern border many times, so he and Nan Yi have met many times, so when he saw Nan Ye's appearance clearly, he immediately said that he had caught a big fish.

"It's a shame that Yue Guo actually sent all his own commanders over, it seems that he just killed my Huainan thief's heart! Damn it! Annoying! Hateful! Mu Qingyun felt that his chest was full of anger at this time.

Although he always knew that there was some discord between the Yue Kingdom and the Huainan Kingdom, what he didn't expect was that the King of Yue, who was the same sect, would use such a means to assassinate his father.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, even if you have wings in this south, it will be difficult to fly out of this Shouzhou City today!" Zhang Shuliang said confidently.

Seeing that Zhang Shuliang was so confident, Mu Qingyun, who was still a little worried, finally let go of the worries in his heart.

"What should we do next, General Zhang?" Mu Qingyun looked at the rebels who were standing motionless in place, and asked involuntarily.

"Although His Highness knows Nan Yi at the end of the day, the old fox has always been good at tricks, and now the end general doesn't know how he plans to break the war we have set, so we can only choose to wait and see what happens." Zhang Shuliang stared at the rebel team in the distance and said helplessly.

As for the rebels, the rebels have already pulled off the clothes of those dead comrades according to Nan Yike's request.

"Nan Shuai's clothes have been ripped off, what should we do next?" Nan Yike's subordinates looked at the pile of clothes that had been torn off and asked puzzled.

Although he has been with Nan Ye for five or six years, he still knows nothing about Nan Ye's plan, after all, Nan Yi has never been able to find a trace when he is a soldier, and he is always adapting to local conditions and never sticking to the tactics of war and strategy.

"Tie them all together and make a big piece of cloth!" Nan also pointed to the clothes and said.
