"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The sound of drums rumbled across the battlefield.

Under the impatience and fierce drumbeats, the Qiang army gathered by Yao Xing was already dispatched. He left more than 5,000 troops and directly sent 20,000 elite troops to fight.

Twenty thousand people rushed out directly.

The Di soldiers under Pu Hong launched an attack from the Qin army's left flank. The 20,000 elite Yang family slaves under Yang Jingchan also attacked on a large scale from the right wing.

On the vast battlefield, Yao Xing, Pu Yuan and Yang Jingchan, each with 20,000 people, rushed towards the battlefield.

This is the confidence of the three families, 60,000 elites.

If the combined forces of the three families were only 20,000 or 30,000, it would be impossible for the three families to compete with the Qin army. Because there is so much power, we have the confidence to fight.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he decisively retreated to the military formation. The Qiang, Di and Yang families had already sent troops, and a large-scale killing ensued.

Leave all this to Meng Ao's command.

Meng Ao looked as usual, without any panic, and ordered calmly: "Archers, release arrows."

The archers had been ready for a long time. As soon as they heard Meng Ao's order, all the archers quickly stepped forward and were located at the rear of the army, all drawing their bows and setting arrows. The number of these archers was six thousand.

All the archers had already measured the distance, and each bow and arrow pointed diagonally at the sky.

call out! call out! !

Dense bows and arrows flew into the air with a whistling sound, passing over the heads of the Qin army soldiers in a blink of an eye. They flew over the heads of the charging Yang family, Di people and Qiang soldiers, and then began to fall like a strong wind and rain.

At this moment, the sky became dark.

The surroundings seemed to have turned dark.

As soon as these three charging troops looked up, they saw the rain of arrows falling.

Phew! Phew!

A dense barrage of bows and arrows shot into the crowd of the Yang family and three other families, piercing their armor and shooting into their bodies. Immediately, there were bursts of screams, and batches of soldiers fell into a pool of blood. But more soldiers continued to rush forward.

Arrows rained down, harvesting lives.

It’s just that the people who died under the arrows were not the majority after all. The vast majority of soldiers continued to charge.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

Meng'ao was in the military formation from beginning to end and never retreated to the rear to take command. Seeing that the enemy began to approach, the distance between the two sides was even less than fifty steps. Under this premise, Meng Ao once again ordered: "The spearmen come forward and form a defensive formation to block the enemy."

Groups of spearmen quickly adjusted.

At the front of the army is a pike formation composed of pikemen, and on the left and right wings are still pike formations.

Army, stand firm.

Lin Feng saw this scene and admired Meng Ao. In a chaotic battle, being able to order soldiers to change formations and steadily control the army not only requires the general to have extremely high psychological quality, but it is also an even more stringent test for the general to control the army.

In the chaotic battle, the fighting was extremely chaotic.

If you are not careful, a certain place may collapse. Once the general is unable to stabilize, it will cause a large-scale collapse.

This depends on the courage of the soldiers.

When the Qiang people at the front rushed forward, they clashed with the spear array in a blink of an eye, and spears were stabbed out decisively. These spearmen are trained on a daily basis. They don't thrust out randomly, nor do they thrust out at will.

Everyone stabbed out uniformly.

In fact, someone shouted slogans in order to unify the attack.

A single soldier wielding his spear randomly would not be able to unleash the maximum lethality of the spear array. Only when rows of spearmen decisively raise their spears and move forward to form an offensive can they have the most violent offensive and have the power to attack.

I saw long spears piercing the bodies of the Qiang people, and in a blink of an eye, they were drawn out with puffs of blood.

Immediately, the spear reached out again, and the cold tip pierced the Qiang man's body.

This cycle went on and on, and even the pikemen and soldiers had a tacit understanding. They showed no mercy and just kept drawing out and retracting their guns like a machine. Even if a Qiang man breaks through and kills a spearman, soldiers will immediately come up from behind the spear formation.

As a result, the formation of the spear array did not change at all.

Defense, extremely solid.

Under such fighting, so did the defense on the left and right wings. The Di and Yang family's forces never made a breakthrough.

The fighting on the battlefield reached a stalemate.

Lin Feng saw this fighting in his eyes. He glanced around and saw that the large-scale fighting was still going on. The troops of the Qiang, Di and Yang families were still attacking, like hungry wolves charging continuously.

This is a massive fight.

Everywhere you look, there is killing. Even this kind of fighting cannot end in a short while. It takes a lot of time to fight to determine the winner.

Lin Feng was not in a hurry at this time. Meng Ao's guard now seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

With Meng Ao's defense intact and the fighting going on, the fighting situation on the battlefield reached Yao Xing's eyes. He saw that the troops under his command could not break through, and he also saw that the Di and Yang family's power was still unable to break through. He felt very sad. It's dissatisfaction.

Their attack this time involved a total of 60,000 people, but they could not break through the opponent's defense.

This is obviously not possible.

The Qin army's defense line must be broken.

Yao Xing looked at Yang Jingchan and Pu Hong and said: "Second Young Master, Brother Pu, Meng Ao is not a simple person and is not easy to deal with. What should we do now? I have two thousand elite cavalry under my command, which are truly elite cavalry. I will put this group of elites into the battlefield. How about you also mobilize your elites to intervene?"

"Not in a hurry!"

Pu Hong shook his head and refused.

He became calmer and continued: "Brother Yao, the fighting on the battlefield has just begun, and the fighting lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. How can we decide the winner in such a short time? We have many people, and we can afford it."

"Especially today's fighting is when the morale of Meng Ao's army is at its strongest. At this time, no matter how hard you send elite cavalry to fight, it may not be effective, and they will all be blocked by the spear array."

"My suggestion is to allow these armies to fight, slowly consuming the morale and fighting spirit of the Qin army, and slowly erasing the opponent's fighting spirit."

"After a fight, we will mobilize the elite."

"Have you forgotten that there is still an elite group of the Yang family, and they are taking a small road to the rear of the Qin army. As long as these 10,000 elites reach the rear of Meng'ao and start a large-scale attack, the Qin army will appear If you waver, you can start a war.”

Pu Hong was very calm.

He is also very capable in commanding wars and is not inferior to the people of Great Qin.

Yang Jingchan echoed: "I agree with Brother Pu's arrangement. It's still early for a decisive battle. We haven't exhausted Meng Ao's army yet, so we will invest the most elite cavalry at this time. What if Meng Ao wants to escape? We may not be able to stop it.”

Yao Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, with a look of agreement on his face.

The truth is this.

The fighting continues.

On the side of the Qin army, Meng Ao is now standing still, without any change in his expression.

Gao Xiaoyu followed Lin Feng. Looking at the fighting scene, he couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, this fighting is too slow. Why don't you lead us directly into the battlefield? Let's kill through these. The formation of the Qiang people.”

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Wait!"

Seeing that Lin Feng was not impatient, Meng Ao nodded and said with a smile: "We are now fighting. Once we are trapped in a tight siege and the situation suddenly reverses, it will be bad. There is no need to rush into the battle in person until the critical moment. As far as we are concerned, the enemy’s combat effectiveness is still strong, so now we must stabilize the situation and resist steadily.”

Gao Xiaoyu asked: "General Meng, when is the right time to counterattack? It's too frustrating to be besieged like this."

Meng Ao said: "When the people who raided the Di tribe and the Yang family return news of victory, we can counterattack. Due to the fall of the Yang family's lair and the capture of the Di people, the strength of the Yang family and the Di people will be weakened. Morale will hit rock bottom and you won’t be interested in fighting.”

"At that time, when we attacked, we were able to seize the momentum of victory, destroy everything, and be invincible."

"Now you lead people to fight, and the opponent's morale is also high, and we are also elites. It is a head-on confrontation. This is the most uneconomical contest. As a general on the battlefield, you must have enough patience, be calm, and be steady. If you can live in it, you must be cold-hearted."

Meng Ao said: "If you can't even deal with it calmly, you can't win."

Lin Feng nodded and agreed: "What General Meng said is true. It is said that one general can make thousands of bones wither. This is true."

Meng Ao nodded and said: "The saying of Marquis Lin is good. One general can make thousands of bones wither. It is true. The fighting on the battlefield is so cruel. The rise of every peerless general is accompanied by countless mountains of corpses. Skeletons.”

Gao Xiaoyu stopped talking and just looked towards the fighting battlefield.

The same is true for Lin Feng.

He was also waiting quietly, waiting for the success of the operation against the Yang family in the city, and waiting for the news of the destruction of the Di tribe to come back.
