Chapter 273: The Decisive Battle Is About to Begin!
The sun was scorching, and not long after the sun had just risen, the blazing rays stung like a wasp's tail.
After the main force of the eldest prince arrived at Ming, he did not stop for a moment, and directly launched an attack.
Countless soldiers and horses let out a deafening shout, and then pounced.
The reflection of the sword and the killing cry of the soldier resounded in the sky.
Under this pressure, even Liu Mo and the others, who had fled the battlefield, felt terrified.
"If I stay, I'm afraid I'll probably die in battle." Liu Mo couldn't help but think.
After the battle with me, that Li Shan disappeared and never appeared again.
He's been hurt more than mine, and he's probably hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries, and I really hope he's dying and can't reveal our information.
The Great Prince's troops launched a fierce assault on the temporarily deployed fortifications, and within a moment, Bai Chengzong found that thousands of troops appeared in front of him.
He was only 7,000 combat-ready soldiers, and they had not slept for a day and a night, and all they could do was build a defensive line with their flesh and blood.
The only thing that comforted Bai Chengzong was that the Great Prince's troops arrived here in a hurry, and they were also a tired division.
"Shoot the arrows!"
In the face of the tide of enemies, Bai Chengzong decisively chose to respond to the enemy with a bow and arrow.
A rain of arrows struck, and the Great Prince's troops fell to the ground, and the defenders who lay here yesterday have a new partner today.
There are so many enemies that even the worst archers have become sharpshooters with every shot.
But even so, the bow and arrow of the storm point could not withstand the enemy like a tide.
It didn't take long for the temporarily deployed fortifications to be destroyed, and Bai Chengzong's formation immediately appeared.
Soon, the cavalry of the Grand Prince began to pour in from the gap.
"All the soldiers come with me!" Bai Chengzong shouted, and then personally put on the battle and stopped at the gap.
Behind him, the soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they rose to fill the void with flesh and blood.
The sword and sword shadows, the flesh and blood flying, and the two sides started a very cruel tug-of-war at this gap.
In a sea of blood, the gap was gradually filled with corpses, but the gap was only a few meters wide, like a huge mouth in the abyss, which was mercilessly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.
Seeing this, even Bai Chengzong, who had experienced a hundred battles, also revealed fear.
Fear of death!
The soldiers around him kept falling, and in front of Bai Chengzong was an inexhaustible and influx of enemies.
His energy and physical strength were rapidly depleted, and in the end, he didn't even have the strength to lift the knife.
The brain begins to lose its ability to judge and think, and relies entirely on instinct to fight.
Suddenly, a large knife struck his helmet, and he only felt a blood-red color in front of him...
And then, he couldn't see anything!

Their silent horses rode through the sparse forest, the tall trees had been cut down for the purpose of the war, and only bare stumps remained.
The horses neighed nervously, and the soldiers slung their spears over their shoulders as they marched towards their destination.
In the darkness, men and Marxists grew long columns, and they were pitch black, like "blacksmiths" forging the night itself into steel.
After passing through a forest of tall trees, they set up camp here.
After settling the troops, the six princes immediately held a meeting.
"Two days ago, the 50,000-strong army of the anti-thieves had attacked, and General Zhang Yu, who had been left behind, defended with 3,000 men, until yesterday, and was finally outnumbered.
"Go on."
"After resisting in Longshan Town for two days, General Li Yuanchao left by night according to the orders of Your Highness, and according to the news of the arrival of the scouts, he led the remaining hundreds of soldiers to flee to the forest in the rear."
Sun Kan was in the camp to report the latest battle situation.
"But if nothing else, General Li Yuanchao's troops will be able to join us."
"We can't go any further south." Liu Mo clasped his hands and looked sad.
The makeshift tent was filled with high-ranking generals, and they needed to make a strategic deployment in the fastest possible time.
"That's true." Sun Kan continued, "The harassment forces that were sent out earlier have all been defeated, and if we continue south, we may be completely surrounded.
Your Highness, in my opinion, it's time for a decisive battle with them! ”
The decisive battle is about to begin... Liu Mo thought to himself.
"I'm for it!" The sixth prince spoke, "Sun Kan, you tell me about the situation in detail. ”
"Your Highness." Sun Kan led everyone to the sand table. "The basic formation of the anti-thieves is as follows, and their Chinese army is mainly stationed in Xiufeng Mountain to the west of Shangjian Cliff, with a total of four legions.
The legion with the largest number of people along the way was about 60,000 people, which should be the core force of the anti-thief, and it was believed that the Hu allies of the anti-thief would also be among them, and the three legions stationed around him were all less than 10,000 troops.
These three forces were in the rear of the main force, and they formed a four-cornered position, supporting and cooperating with each other, and in the northwest of the central army were composed of two corps, both numbering less than 5,000 men.
The last news of these two legions was in Tianfeng Mountain. That is, the northwest side of Xiufeng Mountain where we are located, and finally the right flank of the anti-thief is in the north of Lanpei Mountain, which is the southwest of Xiufeng Mountain where we are now.
There were three legions, and the number of legions on the far right was about twenty-five thousand, and that legion was some distance from the other legions on the right flank. I think the thieves are trying to get that unit to go around our rear.
The number of the other two corps on the right flank was also around 10,000.
To sum up, in terms of the main deployment of the anti-thieves, it is centered on Xiufeng Mountain, with Tianfeng Mountain and Lanpei Mountain as the two wings, with a slight contraction back in the middle, and the left and right sides are unfolded without scruples, and the array of crane wings is arranged.
The vast majority of their troops were stationed in the mountains, and in front of their formations, due east, there was a relatively flat open field. ”
"No matter how I look at it, I think that the anti-thieves have already taken advantage of the formation alone." Liu Mo said.
"That's right, they surrounded us like a net." The Sixth Prince said, "What do you think? ”
"The group of rats on the north side of the Blue Side Mountain can't be guarded against." This was Lu Sheng's answer, "Your Highness, your subordinates suggest that you should lead the main force to stop them. It wouldn't be nice if they were to go around the back. ”
"I think so too." Zhu Min echoed. "That unit must be dealt with first."
The sixth prince touched his chin, and he subconsciously looked up at Liu Mo. "Liu Mo, what do you think?"
"Lu Sheng's suggestion is very pragmatic," Liu Mo said, "but if it were me, I wouldn't do it." ”
"Oh? Then tell me what you think. ”
"Come and see!" Liu Mo pointed to the sand table and said, "According to the news of the scouts, the main force of the anti-thieves should be here, on the north side of the Blue Side Mountain. Then looking at this, in front of them was the Hunhe River.
Of course, we can't expect to stop them after one. However, if Your Highness sends troops to defend against them, it will inevitably stretch the battle line.
Therefore, it is better to give them the back directly. ”
"What? Large rear unfortified? Zhu Min was shocked.
