Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Confucian Scholar (I)

Although the terrain of the low hills is gentle, and the highest is only about ten zhang, many places still cannot accommodate the advance of the big battle array.

At this moment, the leader is the Pinglu Army, all of whom are foot soldiers, with more than 10,000 people. Under the arrangement of Shangguan Allure, these more than 10,000 people were divided into 100 shares, and about 100 people per share, that is, a capital, fanned into the hilly area under the leadership of the capital.

The slopes and hills with gentle terrain and sparse forests can be combined by several cities, and even one of them can be divided into several teams in the narrow terrain.

Shangguan Allure's idea was very simple, since her troops could not form a big battle array, then Sun Ru's soldiers and horses were the same.

Because the marching columns are no longer concentrated on the official road, and they will no longer be caught in the narrow strip, when the two armies are numerous enough to cover a vast area, then encountering each other in the wilderness is nothing more than a head-on collision with each other.

Some woods, thorns, rocks and other obstacles are not much trouble if they are cleaned up by Qi cultivators in the army. Even where there is no road, with the strength of the monks in the capital, it is enough to quickly open up a passage for passage.

This is Shangguan Allure's "straight advance" tactic.

In just half an hour, the advancing front team of the Pinglu Army discovered the whereabouts of the Wu army in the gentle hills. Although there were many Wu troops ambushed here, they were also divided into pieces by the terrain, with more than a thousand people in one place and a few hundred people gathered.

Compared with the Pinglu Army, they are relatively densely distributed, many places that are not suitable for combat at all, and there are also a large number of soldiers crowded together to lurk, so they are also relatively close to each other.

They kept staring at Lin Zhongguandao.

Their goal was to rush out of the hills and forests and kill the enemy on the official road after receiving orders.

Although the Pinglu army was carried out in a big way, they had been paying attention to controlling the movements, and there was no shelter from the forest terrain like the appearance of the beast tide, which also covered their whereabouts a lot, which allowed them to successfully approach the Wu army.

But when the two were more than 100 steps apart, it was still impossible to avoid Wu Jun's ears and eyes.

And this distance was enough for them to show their hideous fangs and launch a fearless charge at the Wu army.

"Look, what's that?"

"It's the enemy...... How could there be so many enemy troops? How could they be here?"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Report to the general!"

"They're rushing over, what are we going to do?!"

“...... Fight, meet ......"

The officers and men of the Wu army who were crowded together were frightened, but they showed their elite colors, and the generals and colonels of various departments hurriedly ordered the queue to turn around, put on a defensive position, and at the same time quickly reported the news.

The layers of Wu army's troops, one by one, raised their blades to adjust the direction, and the scene was like waves of the sea.

Their response was appropriate enough, but without the monk sentry in front of them, and the enemy approached this distance to launch a surprise attack, they had lost the opportunity to prepare for battle.

The Pinglu army's charging method had a clear division of labor, and the monks in the capital were gathered in the front line, and they were rushing forward, and the blades in their hands were quickly waved, striking out waves of spiritual energy wind blades, shattering and removing all the thorns and shrubs in front of them.

It is not easy to travel in the forest, not to mention birds, animals, poisonous snakes and pests, thorns and shrubs alone are enough to discourage ordinary armor soldiers from moving, let alone charging.

But with the monks clearing the obstacles in front, the thorny bushes became carpets under their feet, leaving only tall trees, although the army was still unable to form a formation, but it was enough for the soldiers of the Pinglu army to run smoothly in the capital and the team.

Seeing the Pinglu Army's brutal charging method, the Wu Army's officers and soldiers who had not had time to adjust their formations and queues were already panicked, and now they were even more stunned, many people felt their scalps tingle, and their palms were sweating with their hands holding the blades.

Everyone in the world knows that the Pinglu Army is elite and strong, and its combat power is extraordinary.

Many people of insight also know what aspects of the strength of the Pinglu army: in addition to the well-armored soldiers and soldiers who have experienced several baptisms of war, the most important thing is that the proportion of monks in the army is extremely high.

Zhu Wen was supported by the Daomen, and a large number of Daomen disciples rushed into the army to serve as military positions to improve the overall combat strength of the Xuanwu Army. But even in this case, in the battle of Injustice County, Zhu Yin was still defeated head-on by Shangguan Allure.

Li Ye, who does not have the support of the Daomen, after many years of operation in Pinglu, not only recruited the monks of the entire five states of Pinglu for his own use, but also cultivated many monks himself, so the proportion of monks in the army is not worse than Zhu Wen, who has the support of the Daomen.

And Wu Jun did not have the support of the Daomen.

Facing Zhao Nianci's vanguard army, which had many soldiers, they could not face it head-on, and now facing the Pinglu army, the situation was not fundamentally different. The difference is that the former relies on the generals to lead the soldiers to crush the battle, and the latter relies on countless monks to take the lead.

In the vast hilly area, a group of soldiers of the Pinglu Army were like a herd of beasts, opening the way with their blades, and rushed to the front of the soldiers of the Wu Army in a hurry in the thorns, grass and wood debris that flew like heavy snow.

In an instant, those aura wind blades that had been in the forest before, now like ten thousand fish going out to sea, slammed into the riverbank-like group of Wu troops in waves.

The raised shield shattered with a loud sound, the horizontal blades were broken into several pieces, and the soldiers standing or crouching flew upside down. A splash of blood spilled into the air, and the fragments of blades and armor complemented each other, provoking endless screams.

The embankment is chaotic.

The middle and lower-level generals and colonels in the Wu army, such as the team leader, the capital head, and the commander, as the cornerstone of the army, jumped out with a red face and roared, and sacrificed magic weapons to meet the attacking enemy. Fireballs, wind blades, and ice arrows slashed over the heads of the soldiers.

Their resistance worked, and the rushing Pinglu monks suffered casualties, and some people fell to the ground, and occasionally some flew upside down and hit their comrades, spilling blood all the way.

The officers of the Wu army understood that they had to curb the advance of the Pinglu army. Groups of Pinglu troops are emerging one after another in the mountains and fields, and if they can't win the opportunity to stabilize the formation for their comrades behind them, everyone will have to die today.

But in the blink of an eye, the monks in the front team of the Pinglu Army and the officers of the Wu Army were in close contact with each other on hills, valleys, and even hillsides.

The fighting among the monks was amazing, and the sound of the explosion was like the sound of firecrackers on the Shangyuan Festival, which was endless. The crooked and dodged spells bombarded the trees, rocks, and barren grass, and suddenly the trees broke and the grass was extinguished, and the overflowing waves of spiritual energy blew up gusting winds, and the battle place was like flying sand and rocks, and demons dancing wildly.

In the crowd of Pinglu troops who scrambled to cross the hill, Shangguan Chengcheng stood on the top of a hill and looked forward with his sword.

After a while, Zhou Mingrui smiled behind her side: "The Wu army is also brave, no wonder there will be victories in Xiao County and Dangshan before." ”

His words were relaxed, as if he was laughing at ordinary times, but the jealousy in his eyes could not be completely concealed.

Wu Jun is naturally not such a passing evaluation as "brave and brave".

If Sun Ru's Wu army was not elite, it would not have been able to defeat Zhao Nianci's troops outside Xiao County before—even if Zhao Nianci had already been defeated in Surabaya first. Even if her men and horses panicked because of the lack of food in the army after hearing the news of her defeat, there were more than 20 soldiers and generals in the army outside Xiao County at that time.

There is no doubt that it was the perfect opportunity for Sun Ru to win for Wu Jun. But opportunities are big and small, and not everyone has the ability to take advantage of them.

If Wu Jun was weak and incompetent, how could he make it impossible for Zhao Nianci's troops to withdraw safely?

Although Xue Wei is a big old man, after all, after so many years of fighting, he still has some vision, he stared at the Wu army with a solemn expression: "I don't know if you have heard, there are many generals and colonels in the Wu army now, and they are impassionedly saying something to the soldiers beside them.

"That should be 'the husband kills the enemy to serve the country, at this time', 'this battle is not won, Huaibei is lost, Huainan is not guaranteed, and my wife and children are all slaves'. You can see the soldiers of the Wu army who listened to their shouts, all of them seemed to have taken pills, their eyes were resolute, their actions were swift and brave, and they had a lot of strength out of thin air - but they were just ordinary soldiers, and they couldn't take pills, and they didn't eat them. ”

Zhou Mingrui just now only cared about slandering Zhao Nianci and flattering Shangguan Chengcheng, and did not pay attention to the movements of Wu Jun, but now after listening to Xue Wei's words, he quickly discovered this strange phenomenon.

This surprised him and he didn't know what was going on.

If there are only three or five generals of the Wu army who shout like this, then it is still said in the past, after all, there are always some generals in the army who are good at cohesion of the army. But looking at it now, there are some such generals in almost every mountain, slope, and flat valley where hundreds of people gather, which is very intriguing.

Zhao Nianci lowered his eyebrows.

When she fought with Sun Ru before, she had never encountered such a situation.

At this point in the battle, the ordinary armor soldiers on both sides had already clashed in large numbers, fighting each other and fighting together. Because most of the combat units were only 100 people, the entire battlefield looked chaotic, and there were fierce battles and bloodshed all over the mountains.

In the face of the situation that the battle was in a hurry and the battle situation was completely different from what was expected in advance, in the face of the Lu army of Ruiping in the world, the Wu army did not collapse at the first touch.

Under the shouts of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers and the leading fight, even if they were killed and wounded by the monks of the Pinglu Army, they always went forward and followed, and refused to retreat even half a step.

Although there are already corpses of comrades all over him.

——The officers of the Wu army, who were the first to leap out, were already dead and wounded at this moment when more and more Pinglu troops were charging in place and the strength of the monks was increasing, and only two or three percent of them had the opportunity to retreat to the formation for temporary healing.

But it is precisely because of their selfless struggle and the cost of their lives that the large and small Wu army columns have the possibility of adjusting their queues to face the enemy seriously.

Otherwise, the Wu army would have been completely defeated.

Wu Jun's combat strength and will are very different from Sun Ru's performance when he first confronted her in Dangshan.

It's not just very different, it's very different.

This further shows that the reason why Sun Ru was defeated from Dangshan that day was a game from beginning to end!

A strategy to gather and annihilate more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under her command!

Zhao Nianci couldn't help but lower his head, his fists clenched, and his teeth clenched.

The different tactics and the different strengths invested show that in Sun Ru's view, Zhao Nianci is very different from Shangguan Allure.

Shangguan Chengcheng slowly spoke: "That's a Confucian scholar." ”
