The troops under the direct command pretended to be flustered. When they retreated, they left countless banners and armor. This made the Zhen army more light on the enemy and pursued faster.
After a short period of time, the two sides' heads and tails quickly met each other. At this time, the troops directly under the direct command who had fled in a hurry suddenly stopped retreating and turned back. The central army did not move, withstood the enemy soldiers and surrounded the 40000 Zhen regiment headed by Xiao Chong.
There are a large number of wind soldiers, there are 100000 people, but even if they are surrounded by the wind forces, the Zhen army is not afraid, let alone panic. When they want to come, no matter how many wind troops they want to come, they can not be surrounded. However, the Zhen army did not think that the Feng army was not a local army, but the central army of the Feng state, or an extremely fierce direct subordinate army.
Wait for both sides to hand in, Zhen Jun suddenly realized that the other side is not as vulnerable as he imagined. After encircling the Zhen army, the direct subordinate army did not rush to attack, but formed a neat battle line first.
The wind troops in the innermost row who are in direct contact with the Zhen army are all heavy shield hands. They use shields to withstand the attack of the other side and also stabilize their own positions. Behind the heavy shield hands, all wind forces use long halberds. One sharp halberd tip goes over the shield hand and reaches out of the shield, making the shield array look like an iron hedgehog. Once the Zhen army attacks, it does not touch the shield, You have to be stabbed into a leech nest first.
Behind the halberd soldiers, there are a row of swordsmen and archers. In this order, the swordsmen are responsible for protecting the archers. Even if the front camp is broken away by the enemy, it will not make the archers directly under the enemy's attack.
When the wind forces attack, the shield array at the top of the front pushes forward, accumulating the enemy's space, and the long halberd hand is at the back, which can prick and kill the enemies who come up, and then the archers at the rear just need to shoot their arrows into the enemy's camp. This is the three-dimensional attack mode of the direct subordinate army.
Instead of breaking through the encirclement on all sides, the Zhen army concentrated its forces and attacked the central army of the Feng army. The battle of Zhenjun was indeed brave. Even though they saw that there were innumerable sharps ahead, the soldiers still rushed forward with all their strength. Before the Zhen army ran in front of the Feng army's camp, it was pierced by a long halberd like a forest. The Zhen army in the back continued to head on, trampling on the corpses of their companions, and dashed into the Feng army's shield array.
For a while, the sound of the blare piercing the body and the roar of armor hitting the shield came one after another on the battlefield. The Zhen army fell in front of the Feng army camp one after another. However, under such a fierce attack, the camp of the wind army did not retreat, but kept pushing forward.
Experts know if there is one. Looking only at the fighting between the two sides, Xiao Chong in the Zhen army immediately realized that something was wrong. This group of Feng troops was completely different from the other group who attacked the city. The fighting style was rigid, the rules were well organized, the formation was skillful and the cooperation was tacit. Xiao Chong thought carefully, but he couldn't help but take a cool breath. Could he not be the scheme of the wind army to lead the snake out of the cave?
Now Xiao Chong could not hold his breath. While commanding the officers and men in front of him to rush forward, he ordered the left and right generals to break through to the other three sides. In any case, he should break through the encirclement first.
At this time, it was too late for the Zhen army to break through the encirclement again. The army directly under the direct command had laid out the iron barrel array tightly, and even the Zhen army had wings on its back, it was difficult to fly out of the encirclement.
Under the mobilization of Xiao Chong, the attack of the Zhen army was no longer so steady, only attacking the middle army of the Feng army. Instead, it turned into a breakout on all sides, and the battle between the two sides also started in an all-round way, reaching a white hot degree.
The scale of the war was not grand, but it was extremely fierce. The two sides fought fiercely all morning. The Zhen army launched three large-scale breakouts of the whole army successively, but all of them were blocked by the army under the direct command. Then, the army directly under the Zhenjiang army launched three full-scale encirclement attacks. Similarly, they were carried back by the Zhen army.
Both sides, you come and go, fierce fighting wave after wave, gradually, the Zhen army began to show fatigue.
The individual combat effectiveness of the two sides is not much different, but the strength of the troops directly under the command of the two sides is more than double that of the Zhen army. Moreover, the Zhen army is besieged by the enemy on all sides, so it is naturally unable to support it after a long period of fierce fighting.
At this time, the greatest threat to the Zhen army was the archers in the Feng army camp. The arrows were constantly shooting from the wind army and falling into the Zhen army camp like raindrops. The soldiers of the Zhen army were wearing shields and could not even bring their heads up. In the crowd, the screams of arrows rose and fell again and again. The living people who were still alive just now might die under the flying arrows in a flash.
The Zhen army failed to break through the encirclement many times, which was enough to convince the Zhen army. But to make matters worse, Ning Ding was occupied by the wind army.
The local army retreated in fear of seeing the troops of the Zhen army coming out of the city. However, when the local army saw that the main force of the Zhen army was surrounded by the regiment directly under its command, people immediately came back to their spirits.
The chief General of the third route local army took the opportunity to encourage his subordinates, saying that the enemy troops in Ningding city had already poured out and there were few left. Therefore, we should take this opportunity to attack Ningding and make great achievements.
At the call of the three generals, the fleeing local soldiers turned around and killed them back to Ningding.
Now people are full of fighting spirit. When you have many soldiers and many generals, I can't beat you and attack the city. But at this time, your main force is not in the city. How can I be afraid of you?
In this mentality, the local army launched a strong attack again.
It is easy to resist the tens of thousands of local army in Ningding, but there are only 10000 left. It is too difficult to resist the tens of thousands of local army and the morale of the first mate has been improved. The situation of the four cities in the southeast and northwest is very dangerous.But when the Zhen army was busy, the trouble never came singly, and the people in Ningding city launched turmoil one after another.
Armed with swords, guns and sticks, people swarmed into the streets in groups to attack the Zhen army guarding the city. Under this, the Zhen army was completely unable to withstand, and three city gates were successively broken by the local army. After entering the city, the momentum of the local army is more powerful, and the whole city pursues the Zhen army.
Because of the cooperation of the people of Fengguo, the Zhen army in the city had no place to run. The ten thousand Zhen army died either by the sword of the local army or by the sticks of the rioting people.
The local army took down Ningding and immediately pulled out the flag of Zhen state erected on the city and replaced it with the wind flag.
The trapped Zhen army saw that the city of Ningding was covered with wind flags with black background and white face. They knew that the city had been lost, and the morale of the army was even more chaotic, and the way of breaking through was gradually lost.
The battle between the two sides lasted a full day. The Zhen army failed to break through more than ten times. With 40000 troops, there were only 10000 soldiers left at dusk. However, the Fengjun army was still crowded with guns and halberds.
Xiao Chong knows very well that the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to his side. If he fails to break through the encirclement as soon as possible, his side will be completely destroyed.
At this time, seeing that the morale of the officers and men had fallen to the extreme, Xiao Chong took the lead and led his subordinates to break through the encirclement with all his strength in order to stimulate the morale of the people.
He can't be smart and martial. It's extremely dangerous to rush in the front. He is also imitating Li Cheng. However, there are conditions for Li Cheng to run rampant in the battlefield. Most of the guards around him are his doormen. They are all experts in Lingwu. When Li Cheng is in danger, these people can protect him at the first time. But Xiao Chong's bodyguards are ordinary soldiers and soldiers. Once they are in danger, they can't protect themselves. Where can they keep Xiao Chong?
Shortly after the battle, Xiao Chong was seriously injured by an arrow shot from the Fengjun camp. When Xiao Chong fell, the Zhen army was even more chaotic. People had no formation to speak of when they rushed to kill. They were all scattered.
To cope with such a breakthrough, it was very easy for the army under the direct command. Instead of being washed away, the iron bucket array was getting tighter and tighter, squeezing the space of the Zhen army.
When the two sides fought to the night, the Zhen army was completely broken up. Only a few thousand soldiers and soldiers were divided into several pieces by the Feng army. Even Xiao Chong died in the chaotic army, and even the corpse capital could not be found. In the last half hour of the battle, it almost became a unilateral Massacre by the Feng army, and thousands of exhausted Zhen troops were all killed.
The battle between the two armies ended with the annihilation of the Zhen army and the victory of the Feng army. In this war, there were only a few lucky survivors in the 50000 Zhen army, and there were about 30000 casualties in the Fengjun army. However, most of the 30000 casualties were from the local army, while the casualties of the direct subordinate army were less than 10000.
Ningding, which was captured by the Zhen army, was taken back by the Feng army. However, this small-scale battle played an important role in the war situation of both sides. It was like a shot in the arm of the Feng army who guarded Jinyang. People saw the hope again. Even if they were defeated by the Sichuan Zhen allied forces, they would not have no way out and died in Jinyang.
The same news, to the Chuan Zhen united army there, for people, this is really bad news.
According to the news just received by the Sichuan Zhenjiang allied forces, there was a sudden storm in Wancheng area. Li Cheng's troops, who had attacked Wancheng, had to retreat. However, these tens of thousands of Zhenjun troops did not return to Fengcheng in the end. Instead, they disappeared mysteriously on the way. They could not live or die, and there was no news.
Ren Fang vaguely had a bad premonition. Li Cheng's troops went deep into the hinterland of Fengguo. They were not familiar with the land. They could not find any place to stay. To avoid the wind and cold, the best place to go was to Fengcheng, which is the nearest to Wancheng. However, Li Cheng's unit did not appear in Fengcheng. There was only one explanation. There must be an accident on the way.
I'm afraid it's hard for Li Cheng's team to have any more hope. But now their attack on Jinyang has been repeatedly frustrated. In front of them, there is a fierce resistance by the Feng army, and later there is a wind force. The army on our side is short of food and grass, and there is no supply at all. How can we fight this battle?
Now, Ren Fang's confidence in the battle of the wind has been greatly reduced. Although the Chuan Zhen united army still has a considerable advantage in terms of military strength, and although there are 400000 Huanjun troops on the way to reinforce them, Ren Fang thinks that the battle against wind is not so realistic. The Fengren are hard and tough, while the Fengjun is to have generals, commander-in-chief and rich in talents. They also fight in the local area, so it is difficult for them to win.
