Vol 4 Chapter 2414: Withdraw troops from the front of the enemy as a decoy

East of Jiangling, sixty miles, Shashi, ancient battlefield.
The two armies are facing each other, the wind is blowing the flag, and there is a chilling air. Crows and wild dogs have been wandering in the air and on the edge of the plain, circling, these year, these scavengers in Jingzhou have been raised. It has become a unique sense of smell. Once it feels that there is a big battle, it will always seize the position in advance and prepare for a feast of human flesh a few hours later.
Huan Zhen’s face was gloomy, he was riding on that oolong war horse, wearing heavy armor, and several guards were hurriedly putting on the horses and wearing vests, just like the more than three hundred knights around him, this was the last of the Huan’s army. The Chinese army’s assault armour is placed in the core position of the whole army, under the handsome banner, and in front of them are the infantry divided into three groups from left, middle and right. Each group is ten thousand people, with hands in front, bows and arrows. The leaping soldiers, wearing leather armor, holding swords, axes and long swords, followed, and there was a dazzling cold light on the blades, and the dense army array revealed a strong murderous aura, the last elite army of the Huan family. , That's it.
In front of them, 20,000 troops of the Beifu, which are equally quiet and arranged in a formation of crane wings, stretched out on both sides, and in the center were placed five hundred men and a large shield and heavy infantry. At the end of the whole array, large vehicles were fitted with baffles and covered with wet cowhide. Three hundred large vehicles formed an impenetrable circular defense line. Five hundred Beifu sergeants in heavy armor, armed with large crossbows, were embarrassed. Holding in his hands, standing behind the barrier of the chariot, three hundred six-stone heavy crossbows are placed on the chariot, just like the pickup chariots of later generations. They are always ready to attack all the enemy forces trying to rush into the battle within two miles. storm! The two generals, Liu Huaisu and Wei Shunzhi, were sitting on the bed of Hu and under the banner of the Chinese Army. Obviously, the Crane Wing formed by the 20,000 elite soldiers of the North Mansion did not seek offense but only defense, even the strongest in the world. For the large assault regiment, it is even more difficult to break through this large formation head-on!
Huanzhen gritted his teeth. After years of fighting, the last celebrity of the Chu army has seen countless battles. When he saw the battle that had been waiting for him for a long time, his heart was clear and he wanted to quickly pass through the sand market. He Matou's plan to go straight to Jiang Xia has gone bankrupt.
Huan Qian was wearing leather armor, riding a horse, and ran over, panting. His face was flushed with sweat, and his voice was a little trembling: "Ah, Ah Zhen, it's not good, Liu Yi's army behind has also been dispatched. Yes, they are gathering outside Jiangling City. I'm afraid they will be here within three hours. We, we might as well withdraw north."
Huan Zhen sighed: "The enemy is ready for battle. It has been prepared. This is the only way to Jiangxia. If you want to withdraw to the north, you must first retreat ten miles, and then turn along the road to Dangyang Changban. "
There was a rush of horseshoes, and He Tanzhi rode his horse from the north, his voice was also trembling: "At Dangyang, Lu Zongzhi has returned to the defense, and has set up a large camp. Twenty thousand Yongzhou soldiers and a company camp for fifty miles. afraid…………"
Huan Zhen burst into laughter: "Sure enough, as expected, Liu Yi, you really belonged to you, and you actually laid this net of heaven and earth. Everyone, have you all heard that? Have you seen it? There is Liu Yi in the west, and Bei. With Lu Zongzhi, all our retreat paths are broken. To the south is the Yangtze River, and the ferry is still in Jiangling City. Now there is only one way before us, and that is to defeat the Beifu army in front of us, Wei Shunzhi’s Jiangxia defender It's here too. In other words, Jiangxia must be an empty city. As long as we can quickly resolve the enemy in front of us, then the grain of Jiangxia Dacang is ours."
Huan Wei, who had been following Huanzhen, was crying and crying: "However, the enemy is waiting in a tight line, and they have set up a crane-wing formation that only defends and does not attack. If we want to attack, we have to solve their problems one by one from the two wings. Every phalanx, such a day and night cannot be finished, wait until the forces of Liu Yi and Lu Zongzhi are overwhelmed, we can just..."
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "Then we will withdraw, pass the order, the rear team will change to the front team, the archers in the front line will be in the front line, slowly retreating, and heading towards Jiangling City!"
Huan Qian opened his eyes wide: "Are we going to fight Liu Yi decisively?"
A cold light flashed in Huan Zhen’s eyes: "No, we pretended to be retreating, luring Liu Huaisu's army to chase after him. As long as he changes, we will counter assault, and the three hundred Chinese army cavalry will go straight to his handsome flag. I want to kill Liu Huaisu and Wei Shunzhi with my own hands. As long as the enemy's banner falls, the 20,000 soldiers and horses will inevitably collapse without fighting. At that time, even Liu Yi will not dare to step forward and can only watch us go to Jiangxia. This is our only opportunity. Everyone should act like a little bit, try their best to put on a panic and run away. As long as Liu Huaisu moves, the whole army will come back and attack!"
In the Beifu army formation, in the cart circle line, Wei Shunzhi watched the tide retreating, leaving only three thousand archers behind, and the Chu Army regiment, who led the bow and walked away, smiled and said, "Brother Huai Su, it seems Huanzhen is afraid. Now, we are retreating in front of the enemy. If we chase and kill them now, even if we can't wipe out their entire army, we can still eat their guards. At least, the heads of these thousands of archers, we will accept it!"
Liu Huaisu smiled slightly: "Shun Zi, if you were Huanzhen, would you retreat like this? Although we are here suddenly ~EbookFREE.me~ but after all, it is a partial teacher, and the number is less than 20,000. Fight, go back and touch the main force of the 30,000 West Expeditionary forces led by Liu Xile in Jiangling City, Huanzhen will not be so stupid!"
Wei Shunzhi suddenly realized: "Oh, Brother Huai Su, I just reacted to what you said. It turns out that Gou Ri's vibration is to induce us to attack and change our formation so that we can kill a carbine. Then we can't be fooled, but now What should we do, just watch them evacuate like this? What if they don't take the road and turn to the north to become the sun?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Huaisu’s eyes: "We will do everything we can, pass the command to the whole army, keep the crane wing formation unchanged, move forward as a whole, and follow the enemy at a standard marching speed. The car formation will disperse, the Chinese army will move forward and reach. Go ahead. And my handsome flag, follow along!"
Wei Shunzhi's eyes widened: "Disperse the car and move the handsome flag forward? But this will break away from the protection of the two wings. If the enemy is attacking with iron cavalry and elite light infantry, how can it be good?"
Liu Huaisu smiled and said: "I just want to make a surprise attack like Huanzhen. The handsome flag moves forward instead of us. You and I will go to the left and right wings. Once Huanzhen bursts, the two wings will be encircled and the car formation will be combined. I have prepared seventeen. Face a handsome flag, let's put it up again once he cut it, and see how much Huanzhen can cut!"
