"Beat the drums, beat the drums! You can't lose to the Shaodian people in momentum. Not to be outdone, Deng Qian let Meng Jun also beat the drums of war.

"Fifty steps ahead, five armor-piercing arrows, ready, release!" the archers of the Shaodian Army fired.

Whew, walls of fire were brushed out in front of Xuanyuan's formation, temporarily stopping the momentum of the Meng army's attack.

A group of magicians immediately flew in the ranks of the Meng 85th Division, casting large-scale magic, and a team of magicians behind Xuanyuan Feng also rose into the air to meet the battle. In order to save mana, the mages will not do their best before the battle progresses to the critical moment, and only sporadic fireballs, wind blades, stone bullets, etc. are shooting at each other in the air.

"The two squadrons on the front of the enemy's direction of attack retreated twenty paces, and the units attacking the enemy's flanks were replaced by squadrons of pikemen. "Xuanyuan Feng is adjusting his details to deal with the enemy's cone formation.

"The fire is out, the first brigade, five steps and one rush, and the back row is pulling closely!" the Meng army officer shouted.

A group of Meng troops approached the Shaodian army formation with long weapons, and twenty people lined up in a row, and a squadron was the thickness of five rows.

Beep~~, the Meng army in the front row rushed five steps, and the weapon in his hand smashed into the Shaodian army in front of him.

The Meng army and the Shaodian army on the right wing of the Glaive Formation collided violently, and the soldiers on both sides continued to fall, and the battle scene became more and more bloody.

"Kill these local troops and hillbillies, let them know that our Ninth Army is a regular army!" An officer of the Meng 85th Division roared and rushed towards the Shaodian army formation, but three guns stabbed head-on, and he blocked the two guns left and right, but was hit in the thigh by the third gun, and immediately fell to his knees.

"Death to your stinky pig's head, who the fuck is a hillbilly. A regimental member of the 20th Division on the ground rushed out and raised his spear as a stick, and slapped the gun on the neck of the Meng army officer who was kneeling on the ground, "Lao Tzu specializes in beating regular soldiers like you." ”

On the battlefield on the right flank of the Shaodian Army, fierce fighting can be seen everywhere, and the morale of both sides is about the same, and the competition is queue coordination and personal strength. After all, the Meng 85th Division was a regular army, and its strength also had the upper hand, and it gradually gained an advantage on the scene.

Xue Chong was not idle behind the army, and got together with the cavalry of the 20th Division and Nan Wushuang's scout brigade to piece together 2,000 cavalry and 500 mixed infantry, with Xue Chong as the temporary cavalry commander and Nan Wushuang as the infantry commander.

Nan Wushuang said a little worriedly: "Sizzle, the right wing is a little unbearable." ”

"Yes, there is no archery support on the right flank, and it is inferior to the enemy in numbers, and the defense of the Glaive Formation on the plain is not strong enough, and sooner or later it will be crushed by the enemy's cone formation. "Xue Chong's combat experience is richer than Nan Wushuang's, and he can see the shortcomings of his right flank at a glance.

"If the Chinese army is not contained, can it go around the right flank and attack behind the enemy's flank?" Ding Kui seized the opportunity to ask if he wanted to learn more from the experience of these veterans.

"That's right, there are several variations of the Glaive Formation, and according to you, one of them is that the right flank is now turned into a circular formation for defense, and the Chinese army turns into a sharp array to attack the enemy's flank. Xue Chong nodded.

"But the command of the enemy army is not a rookie, and there are many variations of the goose-shaped formation and cone formation used in the middle attack, but they are more to prevent your surprise attack. Nan Wushuang looked at the cavalry behind Xue Chong and said.

"We're going to hit the middle and knock out one of their wings first. Ding Kui clenched his fists and swung them in front of his chest.

"I don't know, I thought you were in command of a division of cavalry, they had 5,000 people on one wing, that was a regular army, not some hooligan bandits, and our 2,000 people couldn't be defeated so easily. Xue Chong couldn't help but complain about Ding Kui, "You just follow me honestly, can you let me take half of my brothers back to see Master Zhang?"

"Hehe, I believe in Captain Ding's bravery, maybe the enemy will weaken when they see his banner. Nan Wushuang smiled and helped Ding Kui explain.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough magicians, otherwise we could have assaulted the enemy generals and beaten their rear army. Ding Kui never forgot about Deng Qiang, if he could use his magic ability, he and Ao Yu would be able to capture the division commander together.

"I see. Ding Kui's words made Xue Chong suddenly realize, "No wonder General Miao asked us to rest in the back, he was worried that the magicians of the Meng 84th Division would help attack the big array." As soon as those mages leave behind enemy lines, they can immediately allow us to attack behind enemy lines. If the magicians come back, we will withdraw, and if they don't, we will storm the enemy. ”

"Well, well, it makes sense, as long as the frontal battlefield drags the enemy army, our reinforcements will come soon, and even if we can't defeat the enemy army, we won't suffer. Here two divisions were used to drag the enemy's three divisions, and there was a lot less pressure on the main side of the corps. "Nan Wushuang's view of the problem has been improved.

Several of them thought of reinforcements all the way, that is, the remnants of the 19th Division on the ground behind them, but they didn't expect that there would be a larger number of reinforcements behind the enemy.

The strength invested in the attack of the Meng 85th Division began to increase, and Xuanyuan Feng was a little unable to support it, so Miao He decisively sent Nan Wushuang to lead 500 infantry to provide emergency support. With these five hundred unusually brave new forces, Xuanyuan Feng barely managed to gain a firm foothold. Since all the archers were concentrated in the Chinese army, Miao He's defensive pressure was much less, and the Meng 86th Division did not make a profit even if it increased its investment in troops.

Less than twenty minutes after the battle began, dust rose from the rear of the Shaodian army, and after a while, the scouts sent by Xue Chong shouted "Reinforcements are coming!" and ran back. This news quickly spread to the army that was fighting fiercely, and the right flank commanded by Xuanyuan Feng immediately boosted their morale, stubbornly restrained the advance of the Meng army, and began to counterattack locally.

On the platform of the Meng army, Deng Qian looked anxious, holding a command flag tightly in his hand.

"My lord, the enemy's reinforcements are about to arrive, and we should send the accompanying mage regiment to support the 85th Division, so that they can crush the enemy's right flank as soon as possible. The staff officer suggested to Deng Qiang.

"No, have you forgotten what was the first unit to attack us? Cavalry, it's cavalry! Where is the enemy cavalry? What if the enemy cavalry rushes over once the magician leaves? Can the rest of our troops stop it?

Our magicians can't be used lightly, we must first determine the whereabouts of the enemy cavalry, where they attack, we will shoot the magicians. The enemy army will not have many reinforcements, and their total strength should not be as large as ours. "Although Deng Qian is anxious, he is not chaotic.

On the platform of the Shaodian Army, Xue Chong came to ask for battle, Miao He shook his head and said, "No, now is not the time to use you, Xuanyuan Feng can get reinforcements to come up." We do not seek a quick victory in this battle, and it is my greatest responsibility to try to reduce the number of casualties. ”
