Xu Daofu's face was gloomy. He was sitting on a chariot. Only by sitting on a chariot could he see the surrounding plains more clearly. It was about 10 kilometers away from the main camp of the Jin army. Three miles away, he was in an absolutely safe position beyond the range of the crossbow. In front of him, 30,000 troops were spread out in a row, forming a front that was ten miles wide. There were more than twenty rows of arrays, densely packed, with the archers in front, and the archers in the hands. Behind, as the front line, a large number of fierce and fast swordsmen wearing only leather armor followed on foot. In the large formation, more than twenty soldiers were ten feet tall, with four arms stretched out and crossbows on their shoulders. Holding a repeating crossbow and a large ax in his hand, the slowly walking wooden armor, covered with iron sheets, was pushed by more than twenty baggage soldiers, and moved forward by the rolling of twenty small wheels side by side.
On the left wing, Zhang Meng commanded 8,000 men and horses, advancing along the coastline towards the Jin army's left camp. On the right wing, Gou Linzi led 7,000 infantry and approached the Jin army's right camp. The two wings moved forward slightly, while the 10,000 troops in the middle The five thousand men and horses moved forward slowly, Xu Daofu's two ink-stained knife-like eyebrows were tightly locked, and he said nothing.
Liu Yu sat alone on a high platform in the camp. From this position, he had an unobstructed view of the situation ahead. Liu Daogui, who was beside him, hugged the command flag tightly. He curled up the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "If the demon thief knows our true strength, Knowing that since we have been pursuing all the way, from Xie Hun to the Shen brothers, reinforcements from Wu have been joining in. Now our strength is over 20,000, will they still attack like this?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned to look at Xie Hun, who was standing beside him, wearing leather armor, his eyes almost spitting fire, his teeth chattering, and said: "Have you seen your enemy? "
Xie Hun pressed his hand tightly on the hilt of the sword, looked straight ahead, and said word by word: "Zhang Meng, this traitor who killed a thousand swords, I can recognize him even if he is burned to ashes. General Liu, thank you You inform me that this time there is a chance for revenge. Let me bring eight thousand Xie family villagers to take revenge. All of them have family members who died in the demon thief rebellion. They all have sworn enemies with the demon thief. They are also our Xie family. The armed troops who have been trained for many years are not just a mob. As long as you give the order, they can go out to fight against the monsters and thieves now!"
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, you will definitely get revenge in this battle. Therefore, I arranged your men in the direction of the right camp to face Gou Lin! Wait until the enemy's attack After the attack wears off, it's up to you to attack!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Xie Hun's eyes: "But, I want to confront Zhang Meng and take revenge with my own hands. My subordinates think so too."
Liu Yu said sternly: "Mr. Xie, hatred and impulse will blind you. As a general, once you lose your calm judgment, hundreds of soldiers will pay the price with their lives. Not to mention, my lord. Isn’t this how Mr. Bao of Haiyan died? If you only have Zhang Meng in your eyes, you will only lead your men to chase Zhang Meng and disrupt our entire battle plan. The enemy in front of us now is not Zhang Meng. A fierce one, but an army of 30,000. If the overall deployment is disrupted because of the impulsiveness of one of your troops, it will affect the overall situation. On the other hand, if the entire army of demon thieves is wiped out, just one Zhang Meng, and another Where can I escape to?"
Xie Hun looked ashamed and said: "General, I am impulsive. Please forgive me, General Jianwu."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Xie, you go to our right camp now. Liu Yi and Liu Sima are commanding there now. Just follow his orders."
Xie Hun nodded, turned and left. Shen Yunzi's voice sounded from the other side: "Brother Jinu, when will we come?"
Liu Yu stood up, smiled and patted Shen Yunzi on the shoulder. Behind him, stood Shen Tianzi and Shen Linzi. Shen Tianzi had two big knives on his back and a euphorbia in his hand. He looked like a bear. His body was particularly conspicuous among the generals. His voice was rough and low: "Brother Jinu, we want to directly fight Xu Daofu in the Chinese army. Although we are militiamen, if we really fight, Not much worse than the Beifu brothers."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I don't doubt your bravery, but this time, what is needed is more discipline. The enemy's two wings are forward, and the Chinese army is strong. They want to use the Chinese army's strength to rush directly towards us when the battle is fierce. Center, so we will use our tactics to leave a loophole in the center and concentrate our troops on both sides. The task of your Wu soldiers is to strengthen the right camp. Lieutenant He Wuji and He are now commanding the right camp. You follow his orders. Can."
At this time, the expressions of the generals behind him changed slightly. Liu Daogui said anxiously: "Brother, if Wu Bing also goes to the right camp, then we will only have 3,000 Beifu veterans left in the center. Can we withstand 15,000 enemy troops?" The impact?”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "So, I want to be in the central army and personally withstand the enemy. Ah Shou, your two thousand fine cavalry can now go into battle."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "Isn't the pressure in the middle too much? It's best for my two thousand cavalry to stay here to help you. If we go out now..."
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Do you not believe me or the combat effectiveness of the old tiger troops? My three thousand tigers can withstand a hundred thousand tiger warriors. Fu Jian's army of one million is no match, and Murong Chui's one hundred thousand cavalry are no match." Not an opponent, let alone these current demon thieves!"
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "As long as you have this confidence, I will help Xi Le to deal with Gou Lin as quickly as possible, and then attack Xu Daofu's central right wing to reduce your pressure. Or, simply go straight to Xu Daofu , knock off his handsome flag."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "No, Xu Daofu is a famous general. He is not here to fight for his life in this battle. Everyone can see that their chances of winning are slim. A famous general will definitely worry about defeat before winning. He is very confident about himself." The central defense will be very tight, and there must be a large number of ambushes, just like the last time I ambush Bao Sizhi. If you charge straight at him, you will be fooled by the ambush. Just defeat Gou Lin. Once Gou Lin is defeated, turn to attack the enemy. Army Central Group, our left wing has the advantage in strength. With the help of Xie Hun's eight thousand private soldiers of the Xie family, Xi Le will be able to repel Zhang Meng quickly. When the time comes, our center will hold back, and you two wings will attack together. The enemy's center The army will be defeated, tens of thousands of troops will be defeated and flee, we only need to take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, no matter how many ambushes Xu Daofu has, it doesn't matter!"
Liu Jingxuan laughed, turned and left: "Then we will see you under the banner of the demon thief's Chinese army!"
Liu Yu stood up, glanced at the faces of the Beifu soldiers behind him, and smiled slightly: "Brothers, let's get started!"
