Chapter 178 Good luck
Deputy Director Tao said that he had not read several military books, and it was rare that he was not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. In fact, this was the case. The few hands of command that shocked Qiao Rui was actually a little experience accumulated in fighting the interstellar world before. The purpose of the tactical purpose was also very simple, that is, relying on resources and multiple arms to fight the enemy in a melee war of attrition, and use the quality and quantity of the army to make up for his weakness of his serious lack of command experience in the front-end command. Otherwise, if he was in line with the veteran Huainan, Zhang Xun, in a regular manner, he might really give Zhang Xun a chance to create miracles with the weak defeating the strong.
So there is no other way. In order to play to the strengths and avoid weaknesses and try to limit the commander of Zhang Xun, Deputy Director Tao also entered the camp for the first time when the war began, intending to use the bravery and good combat of the camp to attack Zhang Xun's gradually established position, continue to disrupt Zhang Xun's formation, and find and create opportunities for a full-scale melee. At the same time, in order to ensure the successful charge of the camp, Deputy Director Tao also sent three thousand sharp war soldiers to cover the camp's charge, striving to make the camp into the enemy group and disrupt the enemy's position. However, what Deputy Director Tao did not expect was that the tactics learned from real-time strategy made the experienced veteran General Zhang Xun make a huge mistake......
"Auxiliaries cover the charge of the jing soldiers? I had already played a tactic that I didn't want to play twenty years ago. Tao Yingjin thieves also wanted to show off in front of me?" Seeing that Deputy Director Tao was trying to drag himself into a melee, and also used cannon fodder to cover the charge of the jing soldiers. General Zhang Xun, who had basically established his position, couldn't help but feel a little angry and said with a grim smile: "Very good, just let you, Jiān thief know what formation is, and what is ever-changing, and it depends on one's heart!"
With a grim smile, General Zhang Xun explained tactics to the generals around him, while patiently waiting for the Xuzhou army to approach. Soon, when the three thousand Xuzhou auxiliary soldiers, at least General Zhang Xun, believed that they were auxiliary soldiers, when the three thousand auxiliary soldiers rushed to the side of Zhang Xun's military formation under the rain of arrows, they were immediately blocked by the long shield of Zhang Xun's soldiers. A huge long shield formed a solid shield wall, blocking the three thousand Xuzhou auxiliary soldiers' way forward. At the same time, countless long spears and long spears stabbed out from behind the shield, not giving the Xuzhou auxiliary soldiers any chance to break the shield wall with their habitual power. The reaction of the Xuzhou auxiliary soldiers was just as General Zhang Xun expected, immediately detoured towards the left and right wings, looking for other breakthroughs that could break into the formation, and also gave way, allowing the Xuzhou Jing soldiers of about 800 people behind them to rush to Zhang Xun's army.
At this moment, General Zhang Xun, who was standing at the middle of the flag formation, waved the flag, and the neat shield wall of Zhang Xun's army immediately dispersed left and right, holding the shield back, giving up a way to enter the formation with long shields and shields on both sides. It was still a way to enter the formation that could penetrate the Zhang Xun's flag formation. Seeing this scene, the seven or eight hundred Xuzhou jing soldiers who had obviously never seen any world suddenly became thunderous and rushed into the road where the shields were tied together without saying a word. All the rest rushed into the formation path full of countless murderous intents.
Seeing this, General Zhang Xun continued to grin and waved the flag without hesitation. The shield wall that was still standing still had a new change immediately. The left and right teams were interspersed and detoured at the rear of the Xuzhou soldiers at the same time. The left team stood out from the formation to block the rescue soldiers that might come from the Xuzhou army, and the right team stood with shields in the formation to block the retreating path of the Xuzhou soldiers. And where the left and right shield walls dodged, two Huainan soldiers with distinct flag armor suddenly emerged, killing the team of Xuzhou soldiers one left and one right, and shouting to kill him and penetrated into the sky, "Kill! The thief army is trapped! Kill all the thief soldiers into the formation!"
"Tao Thief, do you know what it means to fight less in the local area?" General Zhang Xun laughed proudly.
"Lord, our team has been trapped! General Gao Shun was deliberately put into the square wave by Zhang Xun!" General Qiao Rui screamed with a big change in his face.
"Zhang Xun is crazy? How dare I put my trap camp into the formation?" Deputy Director Tao screamed in such a scream.
"Soldiers, the front arrow formation!" Gao Shun, surrounded by Zhang Xunjun, shouted so calmly, "Target, Zhang Xun's flag formation, chop off Zhang Xun's head!"
"No!" With the neat answer, the flag was swung quickly, and the camp of the sank, which had only about 800 people, quickly formed a formation. It was still a huge sharp arrow formation that made great experts like Zhang Xun open their mouths and quickly formed a huge sharp arrow formation. Gao Shun personally served as the arrow tip. With a steel knife in his hand, he took the lead in killing the Huainan military flag formation where Zhang Xun was. The soldiers of the 800 camps charged together, like sharp arrows that had broken the strings, quickly penetrated forward. The Huainan team, who came from the left and right wings, never dreamed that the camp formation was so fast. They could not react in a little, and immediately collided with the camp's wings that were spreading to the left and right wings. Not only did they fail to disperse or cut off the camp's team as expected, but they were also forced to fight with the camp.
It was at this time that the poor General Zhang Xun realized what a huge mistake he had made - what were the Xuzhou soldiers who were deliberately put into the formation? They were simply 800 battlefield monsters! The team he sent to attack them was also the most powerful soldiers in Liyang City, but when they came to these monsters, they were as weak as a three-year-old child.
In close combat, the attacks of Huainan soldiers basically did not play much role in front of these monsters. They were either easily blocked or easily avoided, and even took the opportunity to counterattack and their weapons were shaken away. However, the steel swords and spears of these monsters were as fast as lightning. Each knife could cut down a Huainan soldier. At the very least, the hands and feet of Huainan soldiers were cut off, and at the worst, the heads of Huainan soldiers were directly cut off! Every time the gun was stabbed, there was always a Huainan soldier who was stabbed into a transparent hole, and many Huainan soldiers were penetrated by a spear at the same time, along with their shields and people!
Zhang Xun, who was condescending, even saw with his own eyes that one of his war generals was grabbed by two soldiers in the trap and swung the war horses. However, before the war generals landed, three or four spears that were stabbed out at the same time had already pierced him into the air, and fell to the ground and died on the spot. The Huainan soldiers beside him also screamed and retreated, completely forgot that they were fighting more and surrounding the enemy.
The most terrifying thing is the arrow position of the trap camp. In the Three Kingdoms era, Gao Shun, who was only considered first-class, had no special record in fighting generals, but when he arrived at the close melee battlefield of charging and stalking, Gao Shun was truly like a fish in water and a dragon returning to the sea. A steel knife danced directly into a ball of light in his hand. Any enemy who dared to stop him was either cut off his hands and feet or his head was cut off. The gun-holding veterans around Gao Shun were also unstoppable. Any weapon that attacked Gao Shun was blocked by their spears, and there were occasionally a few in front of Gao Shun.
The fish that escaped the net and the enemies who came from both sides also fell under their incredibly fast guns. They covered Gao Shun's flag formation with great strides towards the Huainan Army. The soldiers of the camp behind them also maintained their formation very perfectly while fighting the enemy. The huge arrows were firm and steady and steady, and the flag formation was thrust towards the Huainan Army. Wherever they passed, blood was splattered, broken limbs and heads flew around, and Huainan soldiers cried and howled. Wherever they passed, they were covered with flesh and blood carpets, and the flesh and blood carpets were covered with blood and blood corpses, and the bodies of incomplete Huainan soldiers were lying!
Seeing the power of the camp, General Zhang Xun, who deliberately let the camp enter the camp, opened his mouth wide, and was stunned and disbelief. General Qiao Rui, who had surrendered to the Xuzhou army, also opened his mouth wide. After a long time, he wailed from the heart: "Fortunately, the camp in the Zhuyi War had not yet entered Xuzhou. Fortunately, I did not dare to lead troops to fight the camp in the field later. Otherwise, I would not even have the chance to surrender to the lord!"
It was not just the army of the Cang Camp that collapsed. After Zhang Xun had been mistaken for the auxiliary troops, the Xuzhou army, which had been mistakenly considered by Zhang Xun, did not interfere with the outside like ordinary auxiliary troops. Instead, the troops divided into two groups to attack the turtle square formation set up by the Huainan army. The shield hands in several places made such a slight mistake and were immediately seized by the Xuzhou army, who had been in battle for a long time, and they were overturned to the ground with their shields. Then the Xuzhou army who was covering them behind them.
The soldiers rushed up quickly again, wielding their spears fiercely, stabbing the Huainan soldiers who were trying to make up for the leaks, and the knife and axemen desperately cut and killed the Huainan soldiers behind the long shield next to them, expanding the gap as much as possible. Finally, the first gap was opened by the Xuzhou army. Thousands of Xuzhou soldiers cheered and rushed into the turtle formation of the Huainan army, desperately killing and stabbing the Huainan army archers who could not retreat. General Zhang Xun finally found a loosening trend under the repeated disturbances of the Xuzhou army.
There are two battlefields where the battle was encountered. After Chen Dao's three thousand infantry led by Chen Dao flooded the more than a thousand infantry sent by Zhang Xun to block the charge, he quickly relied on his individual combat power and military strength to disrupt the enemy's team. During this period, Chen Dao was very lucky to catch the enemy general who led the infantry. In less than three rounds, Chen Dao pierced the unlucky general's chest with one shot, and then stabbed one of the two generals of the enemy to death, causing the enemy to lose the two commanders of the chief and deputy commanders.
, in a state of chaos with no leader, the Xuzhou army, which had more and less, rushed to the fierce battle, and soon completely dispersed the unlucky enemy. Then, under Chen Dao's leadership, continued to kill the turtle formation of the Huainan Army without hesitation. The gentleman army there also rushed to make up for the gaps and selected the gaps with a gentlemanly manner, and used bows and arrows to kill the Huainan soldiers who fled in all directions, and also supported another battlefield of encounters with more and more accurate bows and arrows, specifically sniping the lonely enemies.
In the end, the Huainan Army's turtle formation had been completely disrupted. The turtle formation team had already penetrated deep into the turtle formation. As friendly forces continued to break into the turtle formation, the pressure on the turtle formation was getting smaller and smaller, and the assault speed was naturally faster and faster. Zhang Xun saw that the situation was not good on the flag formation, so he quickly asked his deputy Zhang Dan to lead the final reserve team to block it, and to buy time for himself to re-arrange and adjust it. But what made General Zhang Xun vomit blood was that because the Huainan soldiers were already scared by the madness of the turtle formation, the formation was severely loosened during the turtle formation. Zhang Dan stepped forward to restrain himself.
As a result, Gao Shun, who was already killed by the camp, roared wildly. Four soldiers of the camp who had even broken armor in the bloody battle rushed forward together, slashing at Zhang Dan at the same time with two swords and two guns. Zhang Dan was too busy to block the east and could not block the west. The Huainan soldiers beside him were already scared by the four soldiers of the camp who were covered in blood and could not see clearly. They didn't even have the courage to come forward to rescue. They watched Zhang Dan's left arm removed by the soldiers of the camp, and then stabbed him into the face with a shot. The head of the gun penetrated his head and died on the spot.
As soon as the commander general died, Zhang Xunjun's last reserve team of thousands of people collapsed. General Qu screamed and took the lead in escaping his life. The soldiers fled in a blink of an eye. In front of Zhang Xun's flag formation, there was no more army to stop the footsteps of the trapped camp. Seeing the opportunity, Gao Shun slashed over an enemy in front with a knife, and snatched the spear from his hand, and threw out the steel knife that had already cut out the gap and rolled out. The enemy who was shrinking and retreating was straight into his chest, then raised the spear that had just been stolen and pointed directly at the Huainan military flag formation, roaring, "Zhang Xun is there, kill--!"
"Kill———!" Amid the roar of the sky, the team of the camp, which had only less than 700 people left, launched the most fierce charge, and the target was aimed directly at the Huainan Army Flag Formation. The soldiers of the Huainan Army on both sides and behind were either weak or frightened. No one dared to rush forward to stop him. He watched the camp of the camp frantically killing towards the flag Formation of his own army. Countless people were still grateful in their hearts, "I finally don't have to be forced to fight these monsters."
"Ah!" Seeing that the camp directly attacked him, poor General Zhang Xun was so heartbroken that he was so rich that he could not help but lose his soul. He quickly jumped off the command platform and led a hundred personal soldiers to run away. The other bannermen and commanders scattered. The camp chased each other and kicked General Zhang Xun's command platform and chopped down General Zhang Xun's commando. As a result, the commando flag fell down. The morale of the Huainan army not only suddenly blew up, but also completely collapsed. The Xuzhou army was cheering up and down, rushing the enemy to the top and rushing to the dozens of gaps in one breath. Xuzhou soldiers rushed into the inside and outside of the turtle formation, attacking the enemy with water. General Zhang Xun had always wanted to fight in a formation, and was finally a melee by the Xuzhou army.
"Good luck." Seeing this scene, Tao Ying first snapped his fingers, thanking that the brave performance of the camp finally broke the stagnation, and then quickly turned to Xu Chu next to him, and ordered with a smile: "Zhongkang, take two thousand troops up and strive to take Zhang Xun's head. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with a beauty!"
"No." Xu Chu agreed while holding his fists, and laughed: "But the beauty will be spared. The last general is not good. If the lord can reward the last general with a good war horse, the last general will definitely take Zhang Xun's head!"
"The deal is completed." Tao Ying smiled and agreed. Xu Chu did not hesitate anymore and immediately led the team to charge. Qiao Rui on the other side also volunteered: "Lord, let the general go too. The general is willing to behead Zhang Xun's head to the lord's tent to repay the lord's great kindness."
"No, you stay." Tao Ying shook his head and explained: "First, I have to leave a reserve force to prevent Liyang City from sending troops to rescue, and second, I don't want you to have too deep hatred with Liyang Army. If our army can successfully cut off Zhang Xun's head, I plan to send you to Liyang City to surrender, so you'd better not make enemies with them."
"It turns out that the lord has such a plan, and I will obey the order." Qiao Rui suddenly realized and quickly agreed, stayed with Tao Ying's side honestly, and took on the important task of protecting Deputy Director Tao as a newly surrendered general. Of course, if the two hundred personal soldiers around Deputy Director Tao were not all Danyang veterans left by Tao Qian, then General Qiao Rui would definitely be even more moved and crying on the spot.
The goddess of luck finally made an negligence this time and gave Deputy Director Tao, who was extremely lucky on the battlefield, a big lottery. When the Huainan army quickly moved closer to Zhang Xun, and when the defenders in Liyang City put down the suspension bridge and were about to leave the city to respond, the camp led by Gao Shun finally chased him near Zhang Xun's team. Twenty or thirty steps away, Gao Shun roared "Zhang Xun's average man", attracting Zhang Xun to look back and look around, suddenly stretched out his ape's arms and threw out the spear in his hand. The spear flew through the air, roaring a wonderful curve in the sky on the battlefield, and shook it in front of Zhang Xun like lightning. Zhang Xun finally reacted and was about to avoid it. The sharp spear tip of the spear had accurately hit his throat. The thick spear pistol passed by. General Zhang Xun, who had rich experience on the battlefield, fell down his war horse and left the passionate battlefield he loved forever.
"High experience on the battlefield?" This is the only price Gao Shun paid to General Zhang Xun after learning about Zhang Xun's resume. "At the age of 20, he went to the battlefield and became a general directly from a gentry. He fought for twenty-five years and never personally led his troops to charge. He was considered to have rich experience on the battlefield. At the age of thirteen, I went to the battlefield with a gun and started as an ordinary infantry. I have fought for twenty-six years and led the army to charge on the battlefield. I can't even remember the number of times I have been alone in the battle. So what am I?"
Once Zhang Xun died, the Huainan army, whose formation had already completely collapsed, had no chance to turn the situation around. They were completely submerged by the Xuzhou army, which had absolute advantage in quantity and quality. They were either killed or captured, and countless people fled in all directions. There were countless dead surrenders. Occasionally, several teams fought stubbornly under the leadership of grassroots generals, trying to escape back to Liyang City. They were also dispersed and defeated by Xu Chu's team and other Xuzhou teams that were quickly organized into teams. The battle quickly came to an end. Seeing that the situation outside the city was not good, Wei Xian, the general who stayed in Liyang, also changed his mind. He dared not take the last five thousand defenders in the city to take risks, and pulled the suspension bridge and hid in the city without mentioning it.
At the same time, on the battlefield of the Huainan Navy Camp, the Xuzhou partial division commanded by Lu Su finally basically destroyed the peripheral fortifications of the Huainan Navy Camp, and began to use the cannon fodder team as the vanguard, and advanced in an oppressive manner towards the inside of the camp, using its military advantage to put pressure on the Huainan Navy little by little, forcing the enemy to retreat to the dock - this is not only the explanation of Deputy Director Tao before leaving, but also Lu Su's usual style of military use. He is not like Deputy Director Tao, who is cautious and steady, he will think about some evil ways when he arrives on the battlefield. He likes to win by surprise.
Given the slow advancement of the Xuzhou army, Liu Yao, who was fighting fiercely with the Huainan Navy warships on the river, specially sent a strategist Xue Li to negotiate with Lu Su, demanding that the Xuzhou army speed up the attack speed, strive to eliminate the Huainan Navy on land, and reduce the surface pressure of the Liu Yao navy - a lean camel is larger than a horse. Although the Huainan Navy was being attacked by Liu Yao's army and Xuzhou army, it was better than the Liu Yao's army in terms of quality and quantity, so Liu Yao struggled on the river and urgently needed the Xuzhou army to share the pressure.
"I'm sorry to send an envoy to Liu. It's not that I don't want to break the deadlock as soon as possible. It's because of the situation." Lu Su bowed to Xue Li politely, and pointed to the Liyang battlefield, which was still fighting fiercely in the distance, and explained: "Sir, please see, my lord is fighting bloody battles with the enemy's horse and infantry, and has taken away most of our army's main combat soldiers. Although there are some reserves in his hands, he has to keep them for the lord to prevent them in case. He dare not invest too much in the Navy camp battlefield, so the war on the camp battlefield is really impossible to speed up."
Lu Su's explanation is not unreasonable. It is also a lie to prevent the reserve team from fighting on both sides. No matter where it is, it is understandable. But it cannot resist the grudge between Xue Li and Xuzhou. Mr. Xue Li was actually Pengcheng in Xuzhou. Later, after Tao Qian, the cheap father of Deputy Director Tao, entered Xuzhou, he was driven across the Yangtze River by force by Tao Qian because he was not very obedient and was forced to surrender to Liu Yao. It is naturally a lie to say that Mr. Xue Li did not hate the Xuzhou army in his heart. Therefore, after Mr. Xue Li returned to the battlefield on the river, he not only explained the difficulties for the Xuzhou army, but also ignited the flames in front of Liu Yao. He insisted that the Xuzhou army wanted to retain its strength and wanted to catch all the Huainan Navy on the warships. He went to the river to fight with Liu Yao's army with both sides, which made the despicable and evil Xuzhou army reap the profit.
When Liu Yao, who was worried that his strength would be damaged too much, was furious and slapped the case and said angrily: "Tao Yingpi, how dare you do this! I personally lead the army to help you. You even want to use a knife to kill someone, and use Chen Fen's hand to weaken me! Okay, you are the first day of the lunar month, I am the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and we will also preserve our strength and let Chen Fen's perch go ashore to fight you with decisive battle!"
"The lord is very proud, and the ministers admire him!" Xue Lihuan agreed happily.
"My lord, you must not do this!" There were also people in Liu Yao's army. At least Yi quickly jumped out to stop him and bowed anxiously and said, "My lord, you must not make a sound of gold! Never make a sound of gold! Now that our army and the Xuzhou army have joined forces, the Chen Fen Naval Division has forced the Chen Fen Naval Division to a dead end. As long as we continue to join forces to attack, even if we cannot annihilate all the Chen Fen Naval Division, it can still cause heavy casualties and no power to fight again! If the Chen Fen Naval Division retreats at this moment, the Chen Fen Naval Division has a chance to breathe. If we lead the fleet to escape to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, then if we want to annihilate it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
"If you escape, run away, do nothing about me?" Liu Yao didn't like Shi Yi very much, but now he was even more angry when he heard Shi Yi's words. He waved his hand and shouted: "Even if Chen Fen escaped, he would definitely flee to Lujiang to meet with Yuan Shu's traitors and continue to fight with the Xuzhou army. What does it have to do with me? I will call the gold and put a banner, and the entire army will withdraw from the battlefield! If the Xuzhou army sends envoys to ask, it will be said that our army has suffered too much casualties and the queue is in chaos. It is urgent to retire and reorganize the team later."
"But, lord..." Shi Yi originally wanted to explain in depth, but Xue Li could not wait to execute the order, asking the flagship Mingjin and the Navy to take the banner of retreat. Liu Yao's naval warships, who were fighting with the Huainan Navy, also turned around and began to retreat downstream and gather, giving up the retreat channel of the Huainan Navy. Seeing this scene, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's short-sighted, short-sighted!"
At the same time, Xuzhou partial division, responsible for attacking the Hanzhai camp of Huainan Navy, also discovered the situation of Liu Yao's navy Mingjin retreating from the battlefield. He quickly sent a messenger to Lu Su to report the situation. After hearing the news, the generals such as Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai next to Lu Su were inevitably furious and climbed up to the high ground to look at the situation. Then shouted at Lu Su, "Military advisor, Liu Yao's common man has really retreated. The Huainan Navy is gathering. It is not clear whether to leave the port or return to the Hanzhai to help."
"Where is the departure channel? Have you given it out?" Lu Su asked loudly without hesitation.
"Give it out!" Jiang Qin, who was fighting in Yu Shui, replied loudly: "At present, the northwest wind is blowing on the river. Liu Yao's navy took advantage of the upper wind to quickly retreat to the downstream and gathered completely, giving up the exit channel."
Lu Su smiled and murmured, "If you hear this news, you will definitely be happy to hold the little girl named Sun Shangxiang and have a few more mouthfuls. Liu Jun, Liu Jun, you have really suffered this time."
Chapter completed!
