Chapter 10: Confrontation

The battle situation has reached this point, and what happens next is very important, that is, when the Tang soldiers attacked the Northern Qi camp, the tight lineup maintained at this time will inevitably become chaotic, but to what extent will it be chaotic? It depends on how much pressure the infantry on the Northern Qi side can bring to the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty.

Once the formation of the Zhongtang soldiers is maintained, then in the face of the next terrifying cavalry attack dominated by the Northern Qi, then the casualties will be extremely heavy, especially in this era, once the casualties exceed thirty percent, it is likely to approach the critical point of the great rout.

Lin Fengjin was engrossed in staring at the changes in the battle situation at this time, the forwards of the two sides were already strangled together, so it was really a flesh grinder-like existence, according to Lin Fengjin's eyes, at the moment when the two sides were short-handed, the casualties were thousands!! Even on that confrontational front, a burst of blood mist instantly rose up, and it looked extremely clear in the sun!

Seeing this scene, the wild boar couldn't help but lick his lips bloodthirstily, and his right hand couldn't help but clench the sky, such a big scene, such a crazy battlefield life is his favorite, and he likes to devote himself to the place the most.

And under the watchtower where Lin Fengjin was, there were more than two hundred riders in red cloaks standing neatly below, just like chess pieces neatly placed on the chessboard, just looking at the kind of even somewhat domineering qualities they carried, you know that these riders are already the kind of powerful warriors who have the characteristics of the military soul, ignoring death and loving blood!

These people are naturally Lin Fengjin's Red Cavalry Guards, and their usefulness is to protect Lin Fengjin from running away once the Northern Qi is defeated, with them plus wild boars, as well as Lin Fengjin's own strong strength, even if the situation is chaotic. It is also possible to escape safely.

Of course, if the Northern Qi army can gain the upper hand, Lin Fengjin doesn't mind letting these people under him out to participate in the war, wolves will hunt only when they see blood, and these subordinates of his own must not let them grow in the greenhouse, after sharpening in such a large-scale war, this knife will be sharper!

As early as when Lu Yu was in Yaocheng, he knew that Lin Fengjin had a very powerful archer composed of grassland tribes under his command, so the treatment of these people brought by Lin Fengjin at this time was also quite favorable, and everything was arranged in accordance with the rules of the Snake Devouring Army.

At this time. The battle between the two sides has lasted for twenty or thirty breaths, and Lin Fengjin's face has also begun to become serious, why?

Because although the Northern Qi army resisted desperately, the front line had been quickly punched in, and the defensive front of the battalion was originally in the shape of a "one", but now it was actually driven into an obvious arc into it!!

Although he knew at the beginning of the battle that the government soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty were ace troops, and they were definitely much stronger than the ordinary troops guarding the camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Lin Fengjin did not expect such an overwhelming advantage. You must know that the Northern Qi side is the defending side, and it is clear that it has occupied the geographical advantage by waiting for work! However, it is as if it is about to be defeated by a wave of people's vanguard troops.

"We can't let the war go on like this"

Lin Fengjin said in a low voice.

At this time, he had already judged that Lu Yu had to lift one of his hole cards. If the cavalry offensive is launched now, the opponent's formation is not chaotic, and the opponent's wish will be exactly fulfilled! Even if the main forces of both sides are fighting to the death here, in a year or two. Zhongtang will be able to restore most of the strength of its heyday, and if the snake swallowing army will recover after it is exhausted, it will be difficult to say the replenishment cycle of elite cavalry. That's a small success in five years, and it may not be a big success in ten years.

Sure enough, Lin Fengjin should be regarded as the few people who know Lu Yu best in this world, and less than half a minute after Lin Fengjin said this, he suddenly saw a group of black torrents rushing out of the big tent of the Chinese army!!

This is one of Lu Yu's hole cards, Lin Fengjin has only vaguely heard of it, this group of black torrents is called "Xuanjiadu", because the Snake Devouring Army is a cavalry after all, and there are many places that are restricted, such as on the mountain, for example, it is close protection, so Lu Yu privately trained this group of elites to come out, and it is said that some drugs and secret techniques are used to stimulate the bodies of these people, so that even if they are wearing heavy armor, they can rush to kill for half an hour!

At this time, this group of Xuanjia can be said to be shrouded in black armor all over the body, majestic, and all the weapons used are two-handed flails, which are fierce blunt weapons, and the steel knives of ordinary Zhongtang soldiers are almost powerless against the chain mail on Xuanjiadu's body, and their shields can also be said to be of little use under the bombardment of weapons like two-handed flails.

As soon as this "Xuanjiadu" appeared, it immediately aimed at the most dangerous place, that is, the most concave place where the front line of the Northern Qi Army had hit, and crashed straight into it! Obviously, this was the place where the Chinese and Tang armies put the most elites, and such a tough encounter between the two sides was immediately the most direct head-on confrontation.

As soon as the Xuanjia capital appeared, it immediately contained the sharpest offensive of the Zhongtang people, just like directly smashing the tip of a knife, and of course, the power of this knife would naturally be reduced to a minimum. After this rush, the situation that Lin Fengjin saw immediately changed subtly.

That is, the front of the Northern Qi Army was originally a "one" word, and after being desperately counterattacked by the Zhongtang people, it became a concave arc, and at this time, the Xuanjia was rushed in the front, and the battle line showed a strange shape of W, and the middle point was that the Xuanjia was inserted into the opponent's front line!

With the help of Xuanjiadu's attack, the offensive of the Zhongtang people was repulsed, but this is not a particularly strange thing, even the most optimistic generals did not expect to be able to break Lu Yu's camp with one blow, this time Lu Yu was forced to pull out a hole card, which can already be said to have achieved the purpose of the attack.

At this time, Lin Fengjin saw that the wild boar next to him was breathing quite uncalmly, and his eyes were also showing a feeling of fanaticism, the two had been friends for so many years, and the relationship was like a master and servant, like a friend, like a brother, Lin Fengjin also knew the thoughts of the wild boar very well, and said with a slight smile:

"What, you're excited, want to go down and have fun?"

In front of Lin Fengjin, the wild boar did not shy away from anything. Heran smiled:

"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are famous all over the world, but they are all sword and shield schools that go with me, of course, I am happy to see the hunt. ”

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"This time, the Tang Dynasty people only attacked tentatively, and after forcing out the Xuanjiadu in Lu Yu's hand, the next attack will naturally be very targeted, and it should also take out a hole card to target the Xuanjiadu, at that time, I will let you go down to play, what's the point of fighting with these ordinary soldiers, if you want to fight, find the elite!"

After this shock. The first line of defense in the camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty was as if it had been ruined, which could be said to be really miserable, and it was also thanks to Lin Fengjin's temporary formulation of quite complete battlefield ambulance regulations, so the wounded were quickly brought to the rear for treatment, so as to avoid the ** sound of the wounded soldiers and the like affecting morale.

Here Lin Fengjin had already noticed a detail, and the auxiliary soldiers who went to the front to save people reported that only the corpses of the Zhongtang soldiers could be found on the battlefield, and the vast majority of the wounded were rescued, from such a level of calmness. It can already be seen that the Zhongtang people really have spare strength when they retreat.

Soon, the four large phalanxes that had fought before withdrew directly into the city, and then four new large phalanxes slowly appeared, and without saying a word, they pressed silently towards this side. The people of the Tang Dynasty surprisingly did not make a sound, and they did not even shout the slogan of rushing and killing, but they gave people a feeling of mourning, on this wide plain. Tens of thousands of people in four large phalanxes were silently crushed over by the whole line, but they were still silent, not to mention anything else. The terrifying atmosphere alone is already suffocating.

If it is the snake swallowing army that is facing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, such psychological tactics are useless, but it is facing the ordinary defenders of the Northern Qi Dynasty, then this move can be said to have a powerful effect of bending the soldiers without a fight!

Seeing that the phalanx of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty spread to the camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty like a torrent again, Lin Fengjin suddenly had a realization in his heart, that is, the victory or defeat of this battle did not depend on the main forces of the two sides, but on the strength of the two sides to help the battle.

If these Qinwang troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty perform well enough to consume the strength of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, then this battle is almost the overall situation, and in the same way, the cavalry under the Hengbo general Tian Wu has not yet appeared, if they can play a sufficient containment force, then the overall situation will be tilted towards the Central Tang Dynasty.

"Huh?" Lin Fengjin looked at the battle situation below, and suddenly wondered: "How can this be?"

What was Lin Fengjin surprised about? It was because the Central Tang Army did not change its tactics this time! What was the situation? As a result, this time the Xuanjiadu battle was earlier than before, and after seeing the main attack point of the Central Tang Army, he quickly attacked and blocked the Central Tang Army back!

After Lin Feng thought about it, he quickly beckoned someone over, and then asked him:

"You go and ask right away, what is the situation of Xuanjiadu's battle?

Soon, the herald came back and said beamingly:

"Lord Steward, when Xuanjia fought for the first time, only half of the manpower was used, and it was the deputy capital who fought the battle, but this time only one-third of the manpower was used, and it was achieved overnight if he saw the weakness of the other party!"

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"It's just that the Tang Army of the Third Middle School seems to have been repelled in these two battles, but in fact, even the wounded and something have been taken away, it can be said that they will come and go, and they will leave if they have a lot of spare strength, if they have any plans, then this time it will be revealed. ”

The wild boar said in a deep voice:

"Would you like to be reminded, then?"

Lin Fengjin shook his head slightly:

"Your Excellency's current whereabouts are uncertain, it should be with the Snake Devouring Army, and the people who lead the army are Liu Cheng, the secretary of the military department, and Xu Wan, the general. ”

"And Xuanjiadu is also quite mysterious, the capital and deputy capital are completely fresh faces, I am a mere foreign minister, and it is not convenient to make friends with them at all, and Xuanjiadu is extremely powerful at this time, I go to pour cold water on others but do not appreciate it, so it is good to wait and see what happens. ”

The boar nodded.

So soon you can see that the third wave of the offensive of the Central Tang Army is coming again, this time it still looks the same as before, the Central Tang Army is advancing strongly, and although the Northern Qi Central relies on the camp to defend, it is losing and retreating.

Immediately after that, the people of Xuanjiadu saw the direction of the main attack of the Tang Army, and suddenly rushed forward, and the battle line once again became a peculiar W-shape! And at this time, the sharp arrow formation composed of the people of Xuanjiadu became the most prominent point of the Northern Qi Army, that is to say, in this short period of time, they have already formed a bad situation of being attacked on three sides!!

Therefore, at this time, among the Chinese and Tang Army, which had retreated like a tide, there were actually four or five red flags that were rapidly waving in the wind, and as soon as these red flags appeared, the "hardness" of the entire Central Tang Army suddenly doubled.

They originally seemed to be the tide of retreat, but as soon as the red flag appeared, it immediately turned into an incomparably hard iceberg, and the incomparably strong steel stood there, not that it became an insurmountable mountain or something, but to show their determination, that is, if you want to rush up and face the collision, then there are only two possibilities: either you are crushed, or I am crushed!!

As soon as the Tang Dynasty army changed, the Xuanjiadu, who rushed to the forefront, had the most profound feeling, because there was no doubt that this change was produced with them as the core, and the Zhongtang people who had been killed by them retreated sharply, and then from behind them, a sturdy man holding a heavy shield in both hands suddenly appeared!

The arms of these men are unusually thick and not tall, and the heavy shields they use are held with both hands, and they smash them into the ground and penetrate deep into the ground, enough to allow two or three people to hide behind, why has such a huge heavy shield not been discovered by the lookout post before?

That is because this heavy shield was temporarily assembled during the battle, after this heavy shield was disassembled, it was divided into five pieces, each of which looked similar to the ordinary Zhongtang Mansion military standard shield, but the thickness was full of twice that of an ordinary shield, this difference was very big in battle, but in the eyes of those who watched from afar, it was difficult to distinguish.

With the continuous of more than 20 two-handed heavy shields were pierced into the ground, the "Xuanjiadu" in front of them was greatly restricted, and the flail they wielded was very easy to smash on these heavy shields, which greatly reduced the power, and then, from under these heavy shields that could also obscure people's vision, suddenly stretched out one by one long hooks!
