Chapter 196

Wucheng, at present, there are only more than 25,000 elite soldiers left to defend it.

On the city wall, Li Yue and the others looked nervously in the direction of Wushan.

This battle can be said to be the first battle of the new army, and if it is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Du Tao, who was standing on Li Yue's right, frowned deeply after glancing at Li Yue.

Wucheng, which Du Tao resisted at noon yesterday, sent a large number of supplies and 20,000 reinforcements.

It's just that Du Tao's 20,000 reinforcements were not arranged into the decisive battle, which made Du Tao very puzzled.

Now the Chu army has more troops than his own, but that Gongsun Qi doesn't even need the soldiers and horses he brought.

And Her Royal Highness the princess actually agreed to this matter, which made Du Tao feel distrusted.

Du Tao talked to Pei Ren next to him last night, after all, Pei Ren is the person he cultivated.

However, Pei Ren didn't give Du Tao too much useful information, but just let Du Tao know that the soldiers and horses participating in today's decisive battle were all soldiers and horses from Cangxian.

The more Du Tao waited at the head of the city, the more panicked he became, even if the new army of Cangxian County had amazing combat strength, it couldn't win in a frontal fight, after all, the enemy army was more than 100,000!

Du Tao arched his hand to Li Yue and said, "Your Highness! The minister implored the troops to surprise the Chu army and support Gongsun Qi! ”

Hearing Du Tao's words, Li Yue was also a little moved.

After all, Li Yue was also very worried about the situation over there, but Gongsun Qi said that there was no need to send people to support and disrupt their deployment.

After struggling in her heart for a long time, Li Yue sighed slightly.

"Lord Du, if you really can't win, then even if you bring 20,000 soldiers and horses over, it won't help."

"It's better to strengthen the city defenses, if we are defeated, we can still hold the city."

After Li Yue finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the city wall.

Li Yue reacted, standing here, her words and deeds would be watched.

After the gloom on his face is seen, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

Du Tao glanced at Li Yue, who walked down the city wall, and sighed slightly.

Then he said to Pei Ren: "Strengthen the city defense, although Gongsun Qi will not necessarily be defeated, but as His Highness said, we must be prepared." ”

"No! The end will go! Pei Ren gave up his hand and hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

After only Du Tao was left on the city wall, Du Tao said in a deep voice: "Brother Qin, this Gongsun Qi is so young, can he really make you trust him so much?" ”

In Du Tao's opinion, this Gongsun Qi is still too young, and he does not have the spirit of a handsome general.

Therefore, Du Tao did not think that Gongsun Qi had the ability to defeat the 130,000 army of the Chu army with only 60,000 horses.

On the battlefield at this time, after Qu Heng was deflated again and again, he directly waved his long sword and ordered the whole army to press it.

The Chu army rushed towards the Tang army in a black and oppressive manner, and it was bound to directly crush the Tang army with a numerical advantage.

On the other hand, Gongsun Qi is very calm.

"Fight the enemy!" Gongsun Qi immediately ordered.

The army quickly changed its formation and made a defensive posture to meet the enemy.

When they were training in Cangxian, they had practiced countless times how to deal with enemy attacks that were several times larger.

Under the command of Gongsun Qi, the army quickly formed a cone-shaped array.

In the large array, the shield soldiers of the square shield are in front, the Changge soldiers are in the back, and then the archers are behind.

The rest of the men are ready to help.

And at the end of the big array, there were 10,000 elite horsemen led by Qin Yuan.

The close formation of the large army can greatly weaken the numerical superiority of the enemy army, so as to avoid a situation where one person has to deal with several enemy troops.

After forming a large array, it is also more convenient to command, condense everyone into a whole, and exert greater combat power.

In fact, this kind of battle formation has been widely used by various countries, but every time the battle is at the end, the formation will break by itself.

This is mainly due to the fact that most of them will kill red-eyed in the end, and they will not pay attention to the command at all, and only know how to kill.

Therefore, Qu Heng was very disdainful of the battle array, since the battle array would fall into chaos at that time, he would simply give up command.

After an order is given, just let the army press up.

However, although Qu Heng did not order to form a formation to rush and kill, the generals in front of the formation still organized a battle formation and charged in an orderly manner.

The two armies soon clashed together.

The Chu army was like a huge wave, slamming on the hard shore rock of the Tang army.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Chu army in the front row was harvested by the long swords stretched out from the big shield by Changge and fell to the ground in rows.

The weapons of the Chu army could not break through the shield, so they could only use their bodies to constantly hit the shield to make a breakthrough.

However, behind these giant shields, with an arm-thick scabbard against the ground, it is extremely difficult to knock a gap into it.

With the continuous impact of the Chu army, the shield has been stained red with blood, and the corpses of the shield are constantly piling up.

The Chu army, which rushed up from behind, rushed forward directly by stepping on the corpse.

As long as he waits for a while, the corpse of the Chu army will be even higher than the shield array, and the shield array will also be useless.

"Change formation! Lead the enemy into battle! ”

After Gongsun Qi gave the order, the army quickly changed its formation, and soon a huge Bagua Array appeared on the battlefield.

As the shield soldiers at the entrance of the formation withdrew, the Chu army quickly rushed into the gap.

However, when the Chu army rushed in, they found that they were surrounded by walls made of shields, and there was only a passage in front of them that led to the outstretch.

The soldiers of the Chu army didn't have time to think about it, and if they didn't rush forward, the people behind them had already rushed in.

Soon, the Chu army penetrated into all corners of the Bagua Array.

"Kill!"

Then, the Bagua Array revealed its murderous intentions.

The Chu army that rushed into the large array was not counted as killed, and the Chu army wanted to counterattack, but the forces were completely dispersed in the large array, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack.

Of course, at this time, the large array was also surrounded by the Chu army on the periphery.

On the entire battlefield, except for the gossip array of the Tang Army, the entire battlefield looked very chaotic.

The Chu army on the periphery was like a tide, wave after wave impacting the Tang army's array.

And those tides that poured into the big array were quickly swallowed up by the big array.

Gongsun Qi looked at the battle situation and did not wrinkle slightly.

After all, the number of enemy troops is more than that of their own side, and even if there is a large array, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for too long.

Gongsun Qi looked at Qin Yuan's defense line, Qin Yuan led the cavalry to constantly rush and kill in the big array, and no one could block the ground wherever he passed.

There were several generals of the Chu army in the array, which caused a lot of trouble to the big array.

And Qin Yuan, under the guidance of the formation flag, kept tossing and turning in various areas of the large array, killing these Chu army generals.

Gongsun Qi looked at the Chu army in the distance, where there were only 20,000 Chu troops left, guarding Qu Heng, who was the main general.

"Chariots out of battle, clear the enemy forces outside the formation!" Gongsun Qi suddenly ordered.

Gongsun Qi didn't want to use the chariot now, but the Chu army outside the big array had already caused huge trouble to the big war.

With the sound of a rumbling sound, the chariot next to the general platform rushed out of the corridor divided by the large formation, and then rushed around the large formation to kill the enemy army.

The battlefield is like a Tucker on the ancient battlefield, and it is difficult to resist.

In particular, the chariots of the Cangxian New Army, even the wheels are made of fine iron, so they are more sturdy.

Under the impact of the chariot, the periphery of the large array was directly rushed out of a vacuum, temporarily relieving the danger of the large array.

At this moment, there was a change in the direction where Qu Heng was.
