The Yuncheng army often heard from the defeated soldiers at Qingyang Pass:
Chaoge Wangshi's vanguard army was led by General Meng Chang, who was known as the best warrior in Chongcheng. He had three heads and six arms. When angry, he had the power of fire and wind, and was capable of breaking mountains.
The most frightening thing is that this person likes to eat living people. He often eats his mouth full of blood in the battle formation. The more he eats, the braver he becomes, and he is very cruel.
Meng Chang also had two lieutenants under his command, both of whom were also well-known. Unfortunately, they helped Meng to do harm, and both of them were like man-eating tigers.
One of them is Zhao Bing, known as the Bronze Hammer Warrior. He is good at using two large bronze hammers that can break stones and break the city. He charges into the formation and blocks the formation to meet the enemy. His bravery is unstoppable by thousands of people.
The second one is Bian Ji, nicknamed Ghost General. He looks like he is about to die from tuberculosis. His unique ghost magic is extremely vicious, seduces people, and he is invincible even if he is not famous.
This is the story circulated by the Yuncheng Army, which describes the three people as more terrifying than monsters and beasts.
Others were more or less familiar to Tian Chen, such as Deng Zhizhong, who served as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and Wu Gan, who was shot several times in front of the two armies but shouted to defeat the enemy, they were all old acquaintances.
The people Tian Chen was afraid of were none other than Meng Chang, Zhao Bing, Bian Ji, and Deng Zhizhong.
As for the others? What a bastard!
When Zhao Bing led the right army to advance, Tian Chen looked gloomy and could not figure out the intentions of the young general opposite. This right wing advanced but did not advance, retreated but did not retreat, which was really annoying.
An enemy formation appeared on the right side of the battlefield where the front army was fighting fiercely. The formations of the Yuncheng front army began to subconsciously deflect to the left.
The entire battlefield was in the shape of a neat cross-shaped square. Suddenly, the front part was moved crookedly, which made Tian Chen feel really uncomfortable. How could this military formation be deformed? It's asymmetrical and makes me feel uncomfortable.
The Yuncheng army remained motionless.
Mengchang called Zou Wu, pointed at Zhao Bing, and then pointed at Xin Ping of the left route army, spoke the military order in detail, and then waved his hand to Zou Wu to take the order to prepare for battle.
"Instructions are given for the right army to rush to support the front army, outflank the enemy's front army from the flanks and rear, and maintain a feint attack, but do not touch the enemy."
"promise!"
The battle flag was waved, and the right army immediately understood, and a long horn sounded.
Zhao Bing finally showed a heartfelt smile. My general has the appearance of a famous general, but he has never discovered his own strengths. As a brave general, don't you still know which one is more important, a brave general or a wise general?
Brave generals can be encountered but not sought, but they are not impossible.
He has only seen two wise generals who can train a strong army with command and control, and can advance and retreat freely. One is in Chongcheng, and the other is in the center of our army at this moment.
"Commanders, follow me to kill the enemy, kill!" Zhao Bing's roar spread throughout the battlefield. Even the vanguard of the front army who was struggling to withstand the enemy's offensive could hear clearly. Wu Gan and other soldiers of the front army suddenly felt courageous after hearing this. He shouted and fought back.
The morale of our army is gradually increasing, but the enemy is timid. No matter how elite the troops are, they will be afraid of the risk of being encircled. Chaos occurs frequently among the forward troops in Yuncheng.
"Instructions are sent to Xin Ping of the left route army to march quickly to the left side of the enemy's formation and pretend to attack. No military orders are given and no fighting is allowed."
"Send the order, the Chinese cavalry camp is mounted, the chariots are equipped with crossbows, and they are on standby at any time."
The sound of "dong dong dong" war drums seemed to hit the hearts of both the enemy and us in the battle formation. Our morale was high, and the sound of decisive battle sounded. Wu Gan led the front army to bite the enemy's formation and not let go.
Three groups surrounded one group, and it seemed that if there was no rescue, the Yuncheng front army would be completely destroyed.
But the rest of the Yuncheng army remained motionless, and Tian Chen burst out laughing when he saw this: "Hahaha, I'm laughing at Meng Chang's lack of intelligence and Zhao Bing's recklessness. Who does he think I am, Tian Chen? The two groups pretended to attack. Your acting skills are so poor and you still want to lie to me?"
"Call the three armies not to act rashly. If Mengchang's left and right wings dare to fight with the front army, then let us in Yuncheng teach him a lesson and tell him what war is."
After hearing this, the Yuncheng generals all laughed together with the Yuncheng man, laughing at the Meng family's children for not overestimating their abilities.
Meng Chang stared coldly at the enemy's main force. As the left and right armies advanced deeper and deeper, his expression became more and more relaxed. He didn't know whether other people's armies could get out of the battle quickly after engaging, but his own army could. .
The military discipline and orders and prohibitions that have been trained for many years are deeply ingrained in the bones of his army. As long as he gives an order, all the troops will move together.
Who wants to play with you in the battle flag turn-based system and fail to win? If you want to fight, you have to go all out with all your strength. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the dark clouds, and as moving as thunder.
Finally, as Tian Chen expected, the left and right armies stopped moving forward after arriving at the predetermined position, with no intention of engaging the enemy in Yuncheng's front army.
Tian Chen clapped his hands and looked to the left and right: "What do I say? Does Meng Chang not dare to attack the whole team? Hahaha, he is somewhat capable and knows how to strike first."
As the ancients say, great joy must bring sorrow. Just when the main generals of the Yuncheng Army were laughing, there were bursts of drums and horns coming from the opposite side.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Woo~~~"
The situation suddenly changed. The two groups on the left and right who had originally feinted to attack quickly regrouped after a pause, and actually pounced on the Yuncheng front army as fast as a tiger.
The cavalry on the left and right wings spread out and immediately galloped around the central battlefield to attack the connection between the front army and the main force of Yuncheng.
The chariots roared and the horses penetrated deep. Meng Chang's army moved like thunder and lightning. Tian Chen had no time to react and found that his remaining front army had been deflected from the original center position to the left wing.
On the empty land in the middle, five thousand armored cavalry rushed toward them with murderous aura. The leader was none other than Zou Wu, who had high hopes.
Without any time to think, Tian Chen immediately ordered people to beat drums, surrounded the center from the left and right, strangled the cavalry phalanx, and then rushed to the reinforcements of the front army.
Just when the Yuncheng army was about to encircle the enemy, the armored cavalry fired crossbows at them. The entire cavalry battalion just said hello, sent out thousands of crossbow arrows, then circled and jumped out of the gap that had never been completely closed.
Tian Chen was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood. This dog thief actually imitated the tactics of Gui Fang and Quan Rong. It was so shameless.
Holding my Beihai crossbow, riding my Beihai horse, and using barbarian tactics to bully my Beihai people, Tian Chen was so angry that he was simply too much of a bully.
After Zou Wu's delay, the front army of Yuncheng Army was already on the verge of collapse. They surrounded and attacked from three sides, and the enemy cavalry's smoke and dust behind them obscured their view.
The world is long, this legion is like a lone boat isolated on the sea by wild beasts, and may be swallowed by a steady stream of enemies at any time.
"Pass my military order, and the two groups on the left and right will join the central army to rush for reinforcements, rush for reinforcements quickly!"
Tian Chen was really anxious now. Among the five armies, the central army was undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the front army. If the front army was wiped out, this battle would be like breaking Yuncheng's hands, and the armor would suffer heavy losses.
The reason why we didn't attack before was because most of the wars between princes are now like this. When the front army is fighting, whoever loses his composure will be easily caught by the enemy and use the rear to control the enemy.
After receiving the order, the Yuncheng army immediately dispersed the encirclement and attacked the front battle formation, but their pace slowed down, and they stopped from time to time to form formations to prepare for cavalry raids.
Meng Chang looked at the chaotic formation in Yuncheng and burst out laughing. He patted the shoulder of Lian Yong, the commander of the military battalion next to him, and finally let go of the tension in his heart. He had many plans. Although he couldn't figure them all out, they were roughly The game still goes as planned, and at this point, the outcome can actually be determined.
Nowadays, these people are more shameless in strategy. For example, the Yi family killed Wang Hai, but they did not pay attention to the etiquette of princes.
In terms of tactics, they are extremely conservative. It may be that due to the inertia of wars between princes over the years, they have not been able to adjust so quickly.
So, Meng Chang proudly handed the ax in his hand to the soldiers: "Send orders to Xin Ping to attack with all strength, push the enemy's defeated front army back, and let Zhao Bing reveal the opening as planned, and drive them away." Go to Tian Chen’s army."
"Send the order to Deng Zhizhong, and the chariots rush into the formation. Zou Wu's cavalry battalion follows the chariots and attacks them all the way!"
In this war, there is no longer any need for him to fight in person.
Zou Wu's cavalry squeezed the enemy's main force in the rear into a ball, while Zhao Bing, who was on the verge of a large-scale killing spree, was able to compress the space of Yuncheng's front army with ease.
The commander passed the order, the flag officer raised the flag, and the two short and one long trumpets sounded again.
Xin Ping and Zhao Bing immediately opened a gap to provide a breakout gap for the encircled enemies.
Xu Li, the Yuncheng general who had previously Tu Shi Qinyuan, rushed out of the gap with the Yuncheng front army with disheveled hair. Just when he was excited about the joy of escaping, a chariot roared from behind.
The leader, Deng Zhizhong, asked wildly: "Where is the Yuncheng man? Why don't we come out to greet old friends when they get together?"
The former soldiers who had just found a glimmer of hope were suddenly horrified and scrambled to flee towards their own lines.
This has been the case in previous years. As long as one can escape back to the main formation and gain protection from friendly forces, there will be a chance to regroup around the rear army and start over.
But at this time, Yuncheng's main force could barely operate the military formation. It was already very weak. There was no chance and space to open the battle formation and let the defeated army pass.
Moreover, behind this group of defeated troops were all chariots and cavalry.
Everyone huddled together, and the front army wanted to retreat. The main shield formation shouted at the top of its lungs, "Retreat to both sides."
No one paid attention to him at all. The pursuing army behind him followed too closely, and the defeated front army had no time to think.
The two torrents collided, and the formation became more and more chaotic. Tian Chen looked at this scene, and his mind went blank.
He had never seen such a powerful armored cavalry, nor had he seen an army with such orders and prohibitions.
That's right, it's the order and prohibition. If it were commanded by ordinary people, when the two armies are so close, it would be difficult to control their own military potential and resist the desire to attack.
Under the tense atmosphere, these soldiers are not so easy to control.
Not to mention that they can change their formations at will during the battle to make space for friendly forces and work closely with each other.
How could it be possible to change just by saying? Can you still obey orders when your eyes are red?
The most important thing is that he actually sent out five armies at once, without holding back at all. These people can also follow the order and attack at the same time.
Unheard of! ! ! Tian Chen couldn’t understand it! !
Tian Chen seemed to be at a loss in the chaotic military situation around him. He kept recalling the trend of this battle in his mind. It was clear that he had done nothing wrong.
He was obviously waiting for the other party to make the first move, and then grab a preemptive strike. Why was he suddenly defeated in an instant?
There seems to be more than one pattern to the dense drums, horns, flags, neat and orderly steps, and the suppression of arrows raining down.
Tian Chen seemed to understand something, but there was no chance to start over again. If he didn't run away, he wouldn't use his energy.
Deng Zhizhong's chariots had arrived, and they were invincible. The first ten chariots passed by both sides of the enemy formation, tearing open gaps in the fragmented military formation. The last ten chariots rushed straight in along these gaps, covering the ground. Crimson axles were plowed out.
Immediately afterwards, the armored cavalry walked left and right, cutting the Yuncheng army formation into several pieces like a hot knife cutting through oil in the enemy formation.
After the cavalry and chariots completed their respective tasks, what followed was an orderly phalanx of soldiers and soldiers.
Use order to defeat disorder.
The situation is over!
Tian Chen suddenly came back to his senses and saw Deng Zhizhong and Zou Wu getting closer and closer to him. He immediately urged his charioteer in panic to turn around and withdraw his troops back to the city.
The banner is the main flag of the general of an army, and it is also the soul of an army.
The Yuncheng Army's banner was moving back, and the entire army was completely shattered. The last trace of orderly formation was pulled and scattered as the banner left, and everyone tried their best to escape.
The cavalry on both sides of the Yuncheng army seemed to be escorting the enemy, controlling the direction in which the enemy fled.
The great rout begins.
Wu Gan suffered eleven wounds on his body, and the armor on his chest was filled with arrows that were blocked by the armor. He chased him for dozens of miles like a madman.
Finally, he faced the villain who dared to plot against him again.
With one spear, Xu Li, who had no intention of fighting, was killed off his horse, and then he looked up to the sky and roared happily, before falling to the ground.
The enemy and our forces have already caught up, and the Chinese army where Meng Chang is located is also moving forward slowly with the movement of the army.
Wherever you look, there are broken limbs and corpses everywhere, and the defeated soldiers who are not yet dead are wailing together.
If he were still the young boy he was before, he would already be feeling the cruelty of the battlefield with compassion.
Along the way, I have seen too much and experienced even crueler facts.
At this time, Meng Chang's eyes were only cold, and he could only show his sharpness.
"Speed up the march and let the rear troops clean up the battlefield."
"Communicate to the five armies for a quick battle."
"Tell Wu Gan and Zhao Bing that I will hold a big banquet in the city lord's palace in Yuncheng tonight!"
