Controlling the marching speed and maintaining the condition of the soldiers, it will take about four days to reach the outside of the Great Zhou Royal City. This is probably another purpose of Zhou Southeast, which is to buy himself a few more days.

At this time, Luo Ji, who had completely grasped the leadership of this war, could be said to be full of the calmness of being the dominant side. To put it more arrogantly, how could Zhou Southeast still struggle to the death?

Confidence is undoubtedly a good thing, but it is not good when it is used too much. Luo Ji, who has struggled through countless routines, obviously knows this better than anyone else. Therefore, the closer he gets to the critical moment, the calmer he becomes, and the army marches all the way.

During this period, Luo Ji kept sending out scouts to survey the surrounding terrain and conditions to avoid being ambushed and attacked by the enemy.

This move undoubtedly blocked someone's last hope. Listening to the report of his soldiers, Zhou Southeast's face turned extremely ugly. Luo Ji's almost step-by-step approach left him unable to find any opportunities to take advantage of.

machine!

With an uncertain face, Zhou Southeast, who had been struggling for a long time, forced out two words from between his teeth, "Strike!"

There was no need to fight to defend the city. Luo Ji's three-bow crossbow completely suppressed him, and he finally came out of the city to attack. Instead of that, it would be better to suddenly break out in the middle of the road and engage in a surprise battle, which might have a higher chance of winning!

Moreover, from a certain perspective, surprise battle is probably the most suitable style of play for him at present...

----Dividing line----

On the third day of the march, the slightly shaking ground stopped the slowly advancing army. Riding on a prairie fire horse with a wider field of vision, Luo Ji saw the dust rising in the distance at a glance, "Oh,

There is no chance of an ambush and a sneak attack, so why not just send the cavalry to attack?"

Zhou Southeast has a cavalry unit. This has long been confirmed. However, in the previous siege battles and city defense battles, there was basically no use for this unit. However, from another perspective, it is precisely for this reason that the cavalry unit

It has become the only unit in Zhou Southeast's hands that has intact forces! And the most suitable force for this unit is to fight in surprise battles. How could Zhou Southeast not make good use of this and give full play to his own advantages? On the contrary, it is estimated that at this point

How could Luo Ji not be prepared at all?

With a playful sneer on his lips, Luo Ji waved his hand, and the well-trained infantry units quickly formed military formations. The spearmen, who were the natural enemies of the cavalry, directly attacked them!

However, Zhou Southeast was a player after all, and he obviously considered the possibility that his cavalry troops would be targeted. After rushing to a certain distance, a hail of arrows flew from somewhere on the battlefield, directly attacking Luo Ji's military formation.

"Everyone raises their shields!!"

Luo Ji's infantry unit had an absolute advantage in the number of shield-bearing infantry. Dealing with the enemy's archer troops' arrow rain attacks was a common occurrence for these shield-bearing infantry. While protecting themselves, they even had some spare strength.

Cover the halberdiers closest to them, which is enough to show how skillful these veterans are.

The rain of arrows exposed their position. After easily blocking three volleys from the opposite side, Luo Ji quickly checked the enemy army exposed in his field of vision, but did not let his own army advance.

He ordered all the shield-bearing infantry to maintain a shield-holding defense state, and then he simply ignored this side and decisively turned around to command his own archers, and cooperated with the spearmen to fight against the group of people who wanted to fight.

He must circle his cavalry from behind.

This move can't help but make Zhou Southeast a little dumbfounded in the distance. The man named Luo doesn't follow the routine at all! Now this battle is clearly aimed at his cavalry unit.

As the commander of the cavalry unit, Zhao Zhe said that he was under great pressure. Just the spearmen staring at them was enough to scare him, and now there were hundreds of spearmen staring at them.

The archers firing their bows and arrows all the way made him clearly feel that the opponent was already on guard.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Southeast's attack tactics this time undoubtedly failed, and the failure was quite complete. At this moment, Zhao Zhe clearly realized that he had to temporarily leave the battlefield, and he actually did so...

…

Looking at the cavalry unit that had detoured a certain distance and then moved away directly with its mobility, a flash of surprise flashed in Luo Ji's eyes. The cavalry unit was difficult to use. While it paid attention to the terrain, it also paid attention to one thing.

opportunity.

If used well, a single charge of the cavalry unit can directly cause a devastating blow to the enemy troops. But if used incorrectly, it will be as useless as before, and it will not even have much sense of existence.

Zhou Southeast's arrangement was undoubtedly extremely bad. Although Luo Ji could understand that under the premise of his cautious advancement, if he wanted to fight a surprise attack, he could only let the cavalry units rely on their mobility to take the vanguard, but it was so bad.

It's just bad. The facts are right in front of him and he can't help but admit it.

However, under this premise, Luo Ji was surprised by the opponent's general's temporary judgment. After the cavalry unit failed in a surprise attack, what is the most taboo thing? It is to fight forcefully regardless of the situation! That is something only a rookie would do.

.

The correct way to deal with it is to rely on mobility to temporarily leave the battlefield and look for the next opportunity to take action. Zhao Zhe's approach is correct.

He signaled the spearmen to continue to pay attention to the movements of the cavalry, and then ordered the archers to change their attack targets and begin to counter-suppress Zhou Southeast's infantry with arrow rain.

The situation changed too quickly, and the cavalry troops failed to seize the opportunity to take action. This put a lot of pressure on Zhou Southeast. As thoughts were racing in his mind, Zhou Southeast waved his hand with the Chinese Fangtian Painting Halberd, and at the same time shouted:

He yelled, "Charge the entire army!!"

The sound of killing was loud, and the morale on the opposite side was unexpectedly fierce. Zhou Southeast's morale was obviously boosted when he shouted, and it was clear that he wanted to use the first move advantage to suppress Luo Ji's army.

Seeing through the opponent's purpose, Luo Ji acted extremely calmly at this time. He glanced at the vanguard troops on the opposite side without taking a closer look. The scattered formation made him clearly aware of the amateurishness of this halberdier unit.

A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Using forcibly recruited recruits as vanguard? It seems that I want to use them to consume the physical strength of my soldiers."

"Chief, these halberdiers..." Zhou Yi, who obviously saw this too, spoke with some hesitation in his tone.

"I know what you want to say." Luo Ji glanced at Zhou Yi lightly, and then interrupted him directly, "The people who were forcibly conquered are indeed pitiful, but since they went to the battlefield, they rushed up with weapons.

, that is the enemy, do you understand?"
