The sun was fierce. The sun had just risen, and its blazing rays stung like a wasp's tail.
After the eldest prince's main force arrived at Ming, they launched an attack without any pause.
Countless soldiers and horses let out deafening shouts and then swooped over.
The reflection of the sword and the killing cry of the soldiers resounded throughout the sky.
Under this pressure, even Liu Mo and others who had fled the battlefield felt terrified.
"If I stay, I'm afraid I will probably die in battle." Liu Mo couldn't help but think.
After the battle with me, Li Shan disappeared and never appeared again.
He was more seriously injured than me, and he is probably hiding in a corner to recuperate secretly. I really hope that he dies and is unable to reveal our information.
The eldest prince's troops launched a fierce attack on the temporarily deployed fortifications. Within a moment, Bai Chengzong found thousands of troops in front of him.
There were only seven thousand soldiers who could fight with him, and they had not slept all day and night. All they could do was build a defense line with their flesh and blood.
The only thing that comforted Bai Chengzong was that the eldest prince's troops rushed here in a hurry, and they were also tired troops.
"Fire the arrow!"
Facing the tide of enemies, Bai Chengzong decisively chose to respond with bows and arrows.
A hail of arrows struck, and the eldest prince's troops fell to the ground. The defenders who were lying here yesterday had new partners today.
There are so many enemies that even the worst archer has now become a perfect archer.
But even so, the stormy bows and arrows could not withstand the tide of enemies.
It didn't take long for the temporarily deployed defenses to be destroyed, and Bai Chengzong's formation immediately fell into disarray.
Soon, the eldest prince's cavalry began to pour in from the gap.
"Soldiers, follow me!" Bai Chengzong shouted, then he personally went into battle and blocked the gap.
Behind him, the soldiers were inspired, and they rose up to fill the gaps with flesh and blood.
With swords and swords flashing and flesh flying everywhere, the two sides began a very cruel tug-of-war at this gap.
In a sea of blood, the gap was gradually filled with corpses. The gap, which was only a few meters wide, was like a huge mouth of the abyss in hell, ruthlessly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.
Seeing this, even Bai Chengzong, who had experienced hundreds of battles, showed fear.
Fear of death!
The soldiers around him kept falling, and in front of Bai Chengzong were endless enemies that kept pouring in.
His energy and physical strength were rapidly depleted, and in the end, he didn't even have the strength to lift the knife.
The brain began to gradually lose its ability to judge and think, and relied entirely on instinct.
Suddenly, a big knife hit his helmet, and he felt blood red in front of his eyes...
Then, he couldn't see anything!
~~~
They rode silently through the sparse forest. The tall trees had been cut down for combat needs, leaving only bare stumps.
The horses neighed nervously, and the soldiers put their spears on their shoulders and marched towards their destination step by step.
In the darkness, people and horses formed long columns, their darkness was endless, as if the "blacksmith" had forged the night itself into steel.
After passing through a forest of tall trees, they set up camp.
After settling the troops, the Sixth Prince immediately held a meeting.
"Two days ago, the rebel army of 50,000 had attacked, and General Zhang Yu, who stayed behind, defended with 3,000 men. Until yesterday, he was finally outnumbered.
"Keep talking."
"After General Li Yuanchao resisted for two days in Longshan Town, he left at night in accordance with your order. According to the news of the arrival of the scouts, he led hundreds of remaining soldiers to escape into the forest behind."
Sun Kan was reporting on the latest battle situation in the camp.
"But if nothing unexpected happens, General Li Yuanchao's troops can join us."
"We can't go further south." Liu Mo crossed his arms with a sad look on his face.
The temporary camp was filled with high-level generals, and they needed to formulate strategic arrangements as quickly as possible.
"That's true." Sun Kan continued, "All the harassing troops sent out before have been defeated. If we continue to go south, we may be completely surrounded.
Your Highness, in my opinion, it’s time to fight them decisively! "
The decisive battle is about to begin... Liu Mo thought to himself.
"I agree!" the Sixth Prince said, "Sun Kan, please explain the situation in detail."
"Your Highness," Sun Kan led everyone to the sand table. "The rebels' basic formation is as follows. Their central army is mainly stationed in Xiufeng Mountain to the west of Shangjian Cliff. There are four legions in total.
The largest legion along this route has about 60,000 people. It should be the core force of the anti-thief. I believe that the anti-thief's Hu allies will also be among them. The three legions stationed around him are all insufficient. Ten thousand.
These three troops are all behind the main force. They form a four-corner formation, supporting each other and cooperating. To the northwest of the central army are two legions, each with a number of less than 5,000 people.
The last news of these two legions was in Tianfeng Mountain. That is to the northwest of Xiufeng Mountain where we are, and the right wing of the last rebel bandit is to the north of Lanpei Mountain, which is to the southwest of Xiufeng Mountain where we are now.
There are three legions in total, and the number of the legion on the far right is about 25,000. That legion is some distance away from the other legions on the right. I think the rebels want the troops to go around to our rear.
The other two legions on the right also numbered about 10,000.
To sum up, the main deployment of the rebels is with Xiufeng Mountain as the center, Tianfeng Mountain and Lanpei Mountain as the two wings, with the middle slightly shrinking back, and the left and right unfolding without scruple, forming a crane-wing formation. .
Most of their troops are stationed in the mountains. In front of their formation, due east, there is a relatively flat open land. "
"No matter how I look at it, I feel that the anti-thieves already have all the advantages in terms of formation." Liu Mo said.
"That's right, they surrounded us like a net." The Sixth Prince said, "What do you think?"
"We have to be on guard against the group of rats on the north side of Lanpei Mountain." This was Lu Sheng's answer. "Your Highness, I suggest that you should lead the main force to stop them. It would not be good if they get behind you."
"I think so too." Zhu Min agreed. "That troop must be dealt with first."
The sixth prince touched his chin and subconsciously looked up at Liu Mo. "Liu Mo, what do you think?"
"Lu Sheng's suggestion is very pragmatic," Liu Mo said, "but if it were me, I wouldn't do this."
"Oh? Then tell me what you think."
"Come and see!" Liu Mo pointed at the sand table and said, "According to the information from the scouts, the main force of the rebels should be here, on the north side of Lanpei Mountain. And looking at this, what is blocking them is the Hun River.
Of course, we can't expect to be able to stop them in one fell swoop. However, if Your Highness sends troops to defend them, the battle line will inevitably be stretched.
Therefore, it is better to just give your back to them. "
"What? The rear area is undefended?" Zhu Min was shocked.
