Most of the people in this group of generals used to disdain the education of their fathers.
They all thought that their fathers made the battlefield so terrifying in order to encourage them to practice hard.
This generation of generals has basically been in the era of Zhengyang winning battles everywhere.
Few of my father's generation died in battle, so they have always despised war and the battlefield.
But now I finally had a real realization.
The drums sounded, and the drill came to its third day.
According to Guande's arrangement, strongholds No. 4 and 6 were assigned to those generals who like to defend.
Although it is a bit suspected that they were deliberately placed in front to attract firepower.
But Guande still gave them enough troops and support.
These two strongholds are garrisoned by 40,000 troops.
Coupled with the help of the city defense, those few generals even felt that they could block the attacker's attack for half a year.
Because the two strongholds are relatively close to each other.
As long as they can play off each other's horns and defend the most violent offensive in the middle, they will be able to fall into a tug-of-war later on.
Even if they can break through here, they can still get high praise for their excellent defensive capabilities.
Guande made this decision because he had sufficient troops.
And when the good news came from Xu Cheng, the generals in these two strongholds felt that they were really wrong.
Should the war really be fought as Guande said?
To put it bluntly, these people participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition are basically rising stars who have never been on a real battlefield.
Although he is talented and intelligent, he cannot become a qualified general without truly experiencing the training of the battlefield.
On the third day of the exercise, Liu Xin quickly arrived outside Stronghold No. 4 with the help of his [ship].
But because he received the information from the base camp, he learned that Shansi had an accident at the third base and was seriously injured and was eliminated directly.
Liu Xin immediately made a decision and rushed directly to Stronghold No. 3.
He believed that the right-wing commander Zheng Xiao would make the right choice.
Join him in flanking this group of twenty thousand water bandits!
The offensive side has already called the defensive side water bandits. From the beginning of this drill, the two sides have been really fighting, as if they are really facing a war.
The hostility between the two sides became very real.
And this scene is what Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying want to see.
Because it originally took at least a day to get from Stronghold No. 4 to Stronghold No. 3.
But Liu Xin directly gave up the large force and headed straight for the No. 3 stronghold with ten [ships] and 5,000 people.
Ning Yi, on the other hand, led a forward force of 5,000 people stationed outside Stronghold No. 4.
If Guande deployed at the fourth stronghold at this time, it was not a defensive army.
You can even leave the stronghold and kill this striker.
After hearing the news, the commander standing at Stronghold No. 4 made a decisive decision.
All troops were stationed.
Because he was afraid that there would be an attacking Chinese army behind this forward.
Generally speaking, the Chinese army is the most powerful part of an army.
If you attack rashly, if you fall into the opponent's plan and your stronghold is breached, then Stronghold No. 6 will become very critical and difficult to support alone.
Ning Yi was originally prepared for possible attacks in Stronghold No. 4, but until the drum sound representing the fourth day sounded, there was still no movement in Stronghold No. 4.
At the same time, Zheng Xiao directly chose to move forward after receiving the remaining 1,500 men from the vanguard.
Losing the first battle would have a serious blow to the morale of an army.
He must follow up forcefully, and his momentum must be sufficient at this time.
Absolutely no hesitation can be shown.
Otherwise, the war superintendent following him would definitely punish him with a loss of morale.
And the fact is indeed what Zheng Xiao thought.
After seeing Zheng Xiao's decision, the war supervisor and general behind him nodded secretly. Then he recorded the situation and passed it on to the soldiers around him.
And this soldier will convey the situation here to Weng Bingliang in real time.
Weng Bingliang stood on a high platform. From his position, he could actually see the approximate position and rough situation of the attacker's three-way advance.
However, since it was night, the line of sight was still blocked after all, and the main source of information still relied on the supervising generals following each team.
When he got the information from both Zheng Xiao and Liu Xin at the same time, a glimmer of appreciation suddenly appeared in his eyes.
This is the talent of fighting.
Although Liu Xin was not the queen of generals, he made precise choices based on his keen sense of battle.
Zheng Xiao, on the other hand, perfectly performed the basic operations of a general.
Because both of them made the right choice, Xu Cheng was attacked from both sides.
Although Xu Cheng's army seemed to have an advantage at first.
He also successfully won the first victory in this war.
It's definitely a morale boost for the defense.
However, the 20,000 troops can be regarded as smashing in.
Facing an experienced veteran, such an operation is absolutely fatal.
Even if he or even Qin Guogong were the commander-in-chief, Shansi's losses would not occur.
Moreover, this first victory for the defender was entirely dependent on personal bravery.
The role of individual force on a real battlefield is quite small.
"Let me see how far you can go."
There was a trace of expectation in Weng Bingliang's eyes.
From his position, he could also see the impending storm facing the Zhengyang Empire.
Even because of the awkward position, although I saw a lot, I knew very little.
Therefore, he was even more worried than those in high positions such as Qin Guogong.
At this time, Xu Cheng started to make some aggressive moves because he had won his first victory.
He even wanted to fight Zheng Xiao again.
It's a pity that Zheng Xiao didn't give them a chance to earn money and fight.
As soon as he came up, he released [Arrow Formation] twice.
Because the army led by Xu Cheng was in the wild at this time.
The damage caused by [Arrow Array] is absolutely huge.
Supervise the battle and join the army, directly giving full damage.
Xu Cheng's side had no doubts at all, because even their side's war supervising general also gave such a judgment.
They are just too adventurous.
Not even a little preparation was done.
And Zheng Xiao is not saying that the more [Arrow Arrays] released, the better.
The release of [Arrow Formation] must have a time limit under real circumstances.
Even if there are enough soldiers to release the [Arrow Array], and whether the soldiers can withstand the intensity of shooting several arrows in a row.
All will affect the power of [Arrow Array].
Zheng Xiao's choice to release [Arrow Formation] twice was obviously within a reasonable range.
Therefore, the maximum number of enemy kills is given.
But if Zheng Xiao chooses to release [Arrow Formation] ten times when he comes up, he may not kill as many enemies as twice [Arrow Formation], and the war supervisor will even directly sentence the troops led by Zheng Xiao to enter the fatigue period.
After eating two [Arrow Arrays], those following Xu Cheng finally calmed down and dared to make suggestions to Xu Cheng.
If they continued to advance, both sides would have to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But they are the defenders, and the combat effectiveness of their troops is set to be lower than that of the opponent. Therefore, they will definitely suffer in a field battle.
So Xu Cheng decisively chose [Fantastic Strategy].
After some deliberation, their [Smart Strategy] was to use a familiar path to get out of the sight of Zheng Xiao's army and arrive at the side of Zheng Xiao's army.
If they launch an attack at this time, they can get a certain damage bonus.
However, because Zheng Xiao's formation was properly arranged, this damage bonus would not be too high, and they still could not defeat the right-wing army led by Zheng Xiao.
Even Zheng Xiao's right-wing army's [Arrow Formation] actually has one or two opportunities to unleash its full power.
If the army led by Xu Cheng dares to do this, it may suffer a big loss.
Of course, this was also the suggestion of those people around Xu Cheng who knew some tactics of war.
He was afraid that Zheng Xiao would directly launch a hand-to-hand combat with them when he used [Chapter].
However, just as Xu Cheng and the others moved to the side of Zheng Xiao's army, Liu Xin led his [ship] troops directly to the rear of Xu Cheng's army.
Liu Xin's target is of course Xu Cheng.
He directly chose to fight in front of the battle.
Xu Cheng didn't get what he wanted, so he went to fight regardless of the obstruction of others.
Under the witness of the war supervisor and the army, the two prepared to start a battle.
Xu Cheng's companions saw Zheng Xiao rushing over with his army.
After Liu Xin arrived here, he directly contacted Zheng Xiao. After a simple summation, the two parties already had a plan, which was to directly launch a front and rear pincer attack on Xu Cheng's army.
Before that, Liu Xin had to find a place for Dan Si.
Because Liu Xin and Zheng Xiao have already made contact, Dansi's injury can be opened to him.
Liu Xin originally thought Shan Si was just judged to be seriously injured.
But I didn't expect that he was really seriously injured.
And looking at Xu Cheng, whose eyes were full of madness, like a hyena.
There was murderous intent in Liu Xin's eyes.
Although they are now competitors. But they are not enemies after all.
Just like Guande, he was actually able to kill him.
Xu Cheng in front of him is also a madman.
Who exactly did the Wenchen Group find?
One Rong Danzi is an internal agent of the Xingxiu Sect, and the remaining Guande and Xu Cheng are lunatics who can harm their companions.
At this moment, Xu Cheng was also on Liu Xin's must-kill list.
And this murderous intention became clearer and clearer after the two men fought.
Xu Cheng's swords slashed towards Liu Xin's vitals without hesitation.
But in terms of speed, whether it was Liu Xin's sword fighting skills or [Thunder Drinking], they were far superior to his opponent.
Xu Cheng didn't expect that he would be suppressed in terms of speed.
But he was taciturn, and the madness in his eyes became a little out of control.
"Kill, kill, kill, everyone who stands in my way will die!"
Liu Xin was a little surprised by Xu Cheng's sudden outburst.
At this time, Xu Cheng continued the desperate style of play he had used when fighting against Dan Si.
However, he underestimated Liu Xin's Dao-Breaking Sword. With the sharpness of the Dao-Breaking Sword, he directly cut off one of his swords and then cut off his arm.
"ah!"
Xu Cheng roared and looked at his fallen arm in disbelief.
The madness in his eyes faded, and then a wave of despair surged into his heart.
When the competition came here, the two combat supervisors and generals looked at each other and were able to make a decision.
Xu Cheng sustained less than twenty moves in Liu Xin's hands.
Besides, Liu Xin had already chopped off one of Xu Cheng's arms.
If the fight continues, Xu Cheng's only ending may be death.
Therefore, the two of them intervened and saved Xu Cheng.
However, Xu Cheng seemed unwilling to listen.
With red eyes, he charged directly at Liu Xin.
Xu Cheng swung his arms, blood continued to surge, and he slashed Liu Xin's chest with a knife.
Liu Xin used his top-notch body technique, the Lightweight Wild Goose Body, to avoid the sword in an extremely thrilling manner.
His body was only a few inches away from the blade struck by Xu Cheng.
However, Xu Cheng seemed to become even crazier.
He kept attacking, his eyes became extremely red, but at the same time he was not aware of the arm he had lost.
Liu Xin's eyes had already opened the attribute panel.
As a result, I saw a sentence in the other party's evaluation at a glance.
He was thinking deeply in his heart. Under his movement skills, Xu Cheng, whose attacks had become disorganized, could not get close to him at all.
The two war supervising generals also wanted to stop them, but they were wearing armor. At this moment, speed was not what they were good at.
Therefore, he could not keep up with the already crazy war supervising general.
"Mother!! Mother!!"
Xu Cheng became more and more crazy. He kept attacking Liu Xin, but in fact, as time went by, he used his internal power regardless of the consequences, so his current internal power could no longer be sustained.
The pace of the attack became a bit sluggish.
Liu Xin saw an opportunity and dodged the knife and struck Xu Cheng on the neck with his hand knife.
"You'd better sleep for a while!"
Xu Cheng fainted instantly.
The two war supervisors and generals behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xu Cheng continues to be so crazy, the two of them will have no choice but to kill the enemy.
These warriors on the battlefield want to stop someone, but they don't have any good means.
On the contrary, killing is what they are best at.
Xu Cheng was handed over to two generals who were supervising the battle.
"Please, two of you, reattach his arm.
It should still be possible. "
The two war supervising generals couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
Previously, Xu Cheng looked like he was going to fight Liu Xin desperately.
Under such circumstances, it was completely understandable for Liu Xin to chop off one of the opponent's arms.
But now Liu Xin asked them to let Xu Cheng continue to break his arm.
This guy is interesting.
The two war supervisors and generals couldn't help but have such thoughts in their minds at the same time.
So the two nodded.
"Thank you both!"
The two war supervising generals nodded and asked the soldiers to take Xu Cheng away.
Both war supervisors and generals knew that even if Xu Cheng could reattach his broken arm, his strength would definitely drop significantly.
Originally, his double swords were quite intimidating.
What's more, even they are unwilling to encounter such an opponent on the battlefield.
"The offensive side won, and the morale of the defensive side dropped." A war supervisor general made this judgment.
At the same time, Zheng Xiao and Liu Xin made the decision to attack this army from front to back.
In the final battle, the two supervising generals discussed the matter and quickly informed Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying.
In the end, Weng Bingliang and Zhu Ying made a decision.
This battle will take about a day because there are so many people.
But in this process, because Guande was in the rear, the message was transmitted too slowly.
Moreover, Zheng Xiao directly ordered the news to be blocked, so when the battle was about to end, someone broke through and passed the news to the rear.
According to the instructions of the two war supervising generals, this news could only be delivered to Guande on the sixth day.
In the final stop, Zheng Xiao and Liu Xin attacked from behind and captured the 20,000 people at a very small cost, achieving total annihilation.
However, during this process, Zheng Xiao and Liu Xin had a rare disagreement.
Liu Xin wanted to save the lives of some of their prisoners.
But Zheng Xiao believed that such a group of bandits had been entrenched here for so many years and had become wild and untamed. They had been here for more than one generation. If they were just ordinary rebels composed of Liu Ming, they might still be able to recruit them.
But they are two or even three generations of water bandits here.
Therefore, they no longer have the conditions for recruitment.
In the end, Liu Xin listened to Zheng Xiao. It is recommended to directly order all prisoners to be killed.
The results of this battle can be said to be extremely outstanding.
Five times the number of enemies annihilated is enough to call it a great victory.
When the result of the battle is transmitted to the attacker's base camp.
The originally low morale suddenly became high.
On the fourth day of the exercise, the left-wing army led by Wei Zongquan arrived at stronghold No. 1.
But Wei Zongquan saw that stronghold No. 1 seemed to have no defense.
I chose to log in directly, but encountered three traps set by Guande here.
Two thousand troops were directly lost.
When the news reached the base camp, Hu Gengchen was furious.
He has asked Wei Zongquan to be careful.
The left wing was not originally the main line of attack.
But in the end, considering that it was just the beginning, Hu Gengchen did not choose to change generals.
And because of Zheng Xiao's significant results here, the base camp was moved directly to the third stronghold.
At the same time, the Chinese army has also surrounded the second stronghold.
Huangfu Rongjiang directly used two rounds of [Stone Throwing] to detect the true and false, and destroyed all four traps set up at the No. 2 Stronghold.
On the fifth day of the exercise, the attackers had already captured three strongholds.
Although these three strongholds were originally taken out and abandoned by Guande.
But unlike Guande's initial prediction, the defender did not gain any advantage.
On the contrary, judging from the overall situation, the attackers achieved significant results in these five days.
The sound of drums means that the drill has arrived on the sixth day.
Only then did Guande receive the news that Xu Cheng's entire army had been destroyed.
For a moment he was furious.
He was full of confidence in the previous five days, thinking that his strategy had achieved significant results.
The attacking side only had 100,000 troops.
In his expectation, he just used three empty strongholds.
Coupled with Xu Cheng's surprise attack.
Maybe you can consume 20 to 30% of the opponent's troops from the beginning.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Cheng was directly destroyed.
“That stupid lunatic is such a loser!
He is indeed a useless son of a bitch! "
Guande cursed crazily in the tent.
None of his companions dared to step forward to dissuade him.
Since taking over from Huang Linxian as the camp commander of this exercise, Guande's character has undergone great changes.
He became arrogant and arrogant.
