Tang Yin nodded understandingly. Yin was less than 40000 troops away from there. It was difficult to compete with the Sichuan army close to 100000. He said, "speed is important. General Meng, go quickly!"
Meng Xiong answered and arched his hand at Tang Yin. Then he led all Zhen troops out of the city quickly.
Batches of Zhen troops left Qijia city and went straight to the main battlefield more than 20 miles away. At this time, the Zhen army led by Yin Li had a comprehensive confrontation with the Sichuan army led by Chen Lihua, which was a frontal fight without any opportunism.
At the beginning of the battle, Chen Lihua realized that there was something wrong with the rebels. Compared with the rebels in the battle of Wangxi plain, the number of rebels in front of them was much smaller, but they already knew how to use the array, and the array they used was very strange.
Different from the regular array, the rebels are a group of several people, and each group will open a little distance, but the distance is not large, so they can take care of each other.
This array is similar to the fish scale array, but different. It can be said that it is designed completely according to the characteristics of Zhen people.
Zhen people always pay attention to the fierce attack in the battle. If they stand in a dense position according to the regular array, it will greatly restrict the individual combat effectiveness of Zhen people. Now, the array used by Zhen people not only takes into account the overall cooperation, but also gives full play to the individual combat effectiveness, so that the overall combat effectiveness of Zhen army can be improved to a higher level than before.
Chen Lihua thought that 90000 to 40000 could win the battle and make a quick decision. However, after the soldiers of both sides handed it over, he realized that the battle was not as simple as he thought. The rebel opposite was not the rebel he knew. Let alone make a quick decision, it would be a seesaw battle. It was unknown whether his side could win in the end!
"General Chen!" Gao Peng looked at the war ahead and said in surprise, "is the rebel using an array now?"
Chen Lihua murmured, "it should be."
"Please forgive me for being clumsy. I've never seen such a strange array, whether in the book of war or before the formation of the two armies!" Gao Peng said with a frown.
His words immediately aroused the resonance of the other two generals. Feng Yu and chaisong nodded again and again and said, "yes, General Gao is right. The array used by the rebels is really strange. It looks like an array rather than an array, like a random war and not a random war. I can't understand it!"
"There is no regular war, and the water is changeable. The array that can win is a good array!" Chen Lihua took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice, "it seems that there are capable people inside the rebel army to guide. This battle... I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
He was talking. Suddenly, the rear army of the Sichuan army was in chaos. Chen Lihua and others were about to send someone to the rear army to see what was going on. A soldier of the Sichuan army took the lead in running over and said in a hurry: "report to the general, it's bad. The rebels were suddenly killed in the rear of our army!"
"Ah?" Hearing this, the faces of Chen Lihua, Gao Peng, Feng Yu and chaisong suddenly changed. Is it true that there is an ambush in Qijia City, which has been killed, as Na Yinli said?
Before Chen Lihua asked, Gao Peng shouted, "where are the rebels? How many are the rebels?"
"Go back... Report back to General Gao. It seems that the rebels are coming from Qijia city. As for the military strength... The rebels have a lot of military strength. They can't see the edge and can't be counted!" The informer stammered and trembled.
oh dear! After listening to the soldier's words, Chen Lihua's four generals secretly said: bad! It seems that the rebels are not playing tricks, but they do ambush heavy troops in Qijia city. They just don't understand one thing. Where did the rebels get so many troops? The rebels are also stationed in different places. Their own troops are divided to attack and lay down so many places. It is reasonable to say that many rebels should be wiped out. How can the rebels die more and more?
Chai Song said to Chen Lihua in a hurry, "General Chen, it seems that the two regiments stationed in Qijia city have been in danger and good luck. Now the rebels are attacked from behind by our army. They are attacked from behind. This battle can't go on any longer. We have to retreat quickly!"
Feng Yu shook her head and said, "no, now our army must not retreat. It was not easy for us to turn the rebels to a dead end and start a frontal decisive battle. If we retreat at this time, it will give the rebels another chance to breathe."
"But if we don't retreat at this time and the rebels attack back and forth, our army is in danger of being destroyed!"
"I don't believe that the rebels have so many troops and can kill all the soldiers of the two regiments left in Qijia city in such a short time. Maybe the rebels don't come from Qijia city at all. If we retreat now, none of the 20000 brothers left in Qijia city will survive!"
"In order to save 20000 soldiers, do you want to risk the lives of the whole army?"
General Feng Lipeng said, "if you want to fight with General Chen Lipeng, you have to make a decision now!"
"This... Let me think again!" Chen Lihua kept turning her eyes and knew what to do for a moment. You know, he commands four legions to encircle and suppress the rebels. If he is defeated by the rebels in turn, he will never look up again in his life, but judging from the current war situation, the death battle is indeed in danger of the destruction of the whole army. After thinking about it, he was finally cruel and gnashing his teeth. He was about to order the withdrawal of troops. Feng Yu said first: "General Chen, you give me 20000 troops and horses. I am willing to lead 20000 soldiers to meet the rebels in the rear. I want to see whether these rebels fell from the sky or jumped out of a crack in the stone!"
"This..."
"My grand Dachuan central army, if defeated by the rebels and fled back, you can lose this face, but Ben Shuai can't. If you want to withdraw yourself, Ben Shuai vowed to fight the rebels to the end!" Feng Yu is anxious and angry. Her face is red and her hair is open.
What he said was exactly what Chen Lihua was worried about. He pondered for a while and bowed his head heavily, say: "Well, general Feng, I'll give you 30000 soldiers. If there are too many enemy troops in the rear, you can't resist it. Retreat immediately and leave the green mountains. We're not afraid of no firewood. Even if we lose this time, we can rally the troops from all over the country, regroup and fight against the rebels again! 10000 steps back, we can wait for general LV you's reinforcements to arrive, join forces and fight the rebels to the death! ”
"Ha ha -" Feng Yu laughed and said proudly, "Why are you afraid of the rebels? I will kill all the rebels this time, and there will be no future trouble!"
Faced with the enemy and unwilling to retreat, Chen Lihua accepted Feng Yu's offer and gave him 30000 Sichuan troops to meet the incoming Zhenjun army in the rear.
Zhenjun, who came from Qijia City, also made a fatal mistake. They didn't come together in array, but in batches.
Worried that Yin Li couldn't stop the main force of the Sichuan army, the Zhen army in Qijia city was also very anxious. After a large number of Zhen troops left the city, they didn't wait for the people behind to leave the city. They ran to the main battlefield in groups like a plate of scattered sand.
As a result, before they had time to make a rally, they ran into Feng Yu, who took the initiative to kill him.
Looking at the sparse Zhen army opposite, Feng Yu grinned to the bottom of her ears. Is this the so-called rebel ambush? 100000 people? It's a ridiculous story. If you are scared away by such a mob, you will lose the face of the state of Sichuan.
He immediately ordered the whole army to line up, archers to the top, and shoot all the enemies in front.
Under the arrow array of the Sichuan army, a group of Zhen soldiers came and were shot and killed. It didn't take long. In front of the Sichuan army camp, the bodies of sergeant Zhen and his soldiers were stacked, and there were countless people who were shot and killed.
Feng Yu laughed when he saw that the Zhenjun army rushed forward and killed his own side without threat. The battle was too easy. He thought how great the ambush of the rebels was. It turned out that they were reckless men who didn't want to die and didn't have a head.
Feng Yu was secretly proud. At this time, Meng Xiong, the leader of Zhen army, arrived and saw that the Sichuan army in front was ready, and his own soldiers rushed forward like headless flies. He immediately ordered the soldiers in front to retreat and the whole army to assemble.
Under the command of Meng Xiong, Zhenjun finally stopped the suicidal charge, and people began to assemble in front of the Sichuan army.
At first, the camp of Zhen army was only a small piece, but with more and more soldiers coming up from the rear, the camp of Zhen army became larger and larger. In the end, the scale of its camp even exceeded that of the Sichuan army opposite.
It was not until this time that Feng Yu realized that the number of rebels was much more than he had expected. However, he didn't pay much attention to the rebels on the opposite side after the headless killing of the rebels just now. When he saw that the rebels had completed the formation, he sneered and shouted to the soldiers around him: "today's war is our first war to make achievements. In this war, we pledge to wipe out the rebels and raise our military prestige! Kill -"
"Kill -" Feng Yu echoed, and there was a cry of killing in the Sichuan army camp. Soon, the archers in the Sichuan army retreated and the shield men pushed to the front. Then, the whole army lined up and pushed forward.
Seeing that the Sichuan army on the opposite side has been pressed over, Meng Xiong raised his long knife high and shouted, "avenge the country, wash the national shame, kill all the Sichuan thieves, restore our country, kill!"
"Kill -" there was also a loud cry of killing in the Zhen army camp.
The next step is the reverse promotion of the two camps. In the process of promotion, each side launches an arrow array, and the sound of arrow breaking armor rises one after another in both camps, and the soldiers who move forward fall to the ground from time to time.
When the two sides come into contact, the close combat officially begins.
On the battlefield, the front armies of both sides are fighting in blood, and the rear armies are not idle. They keep firing arrows at the opposite side. The collision sound of weapons, the sound of sharp blades breaking armor, the roar of arrows and people's tearing and yelling have become one.
Under the condition of equal military strength and morale between the two sides, I'm afraid only an individual regiment of the wind country can compete with the Zhen army.
At this time, the battle between the two sides was still difficult to distinguish at the beginning, but as the battle continued, the Sichuan army began to lose support.
