Jin army, rear army.
Behind a row of temporarily arranged antlers, there were more than two thousand Shen family soldiers wearing leather armor, all of whom were lightly armed swordsmen, but they also had halberds more than five feet long beside them. They were not equipped with shields or crossbows. The formation is not very tight. If outsiders see it, they are just a loose and sparse crowd. Even their armor looks shabby, their military appearance is not neat, and all of them are unshaven. If it weren't for the occasional flash of Tao in their eyes, Leng Mang, you can't even believe that these are the veterans of the Wuxing Shen clan who ran rampant in the eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River. They fought countless fierce battles in the Tianshi Dao camp and the Beifu army.
Shen Yunzi's face was gloomy. He looked at Shen Tianzi who was walking around anxiously like a brown bear. He said in a deep voice: "Third brother, stop shaking. It hurts my eyes."
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth, stopped, and pointed forward, to the left and right wings, and then to the forward. Within a range of more than ten miles, outside the large formation, there were loud shouts of killing, as well as arrow rain and smoke. , said loudly: "My comrades are all fighting bloody battles and killing the enemy, but the best warrior in Jin Dynasty can only watch the fun here. If you don't let me take a few steps like this, I'm afraid I will go crazy first." of!"
Shen Linzi sighed: "Third brother, don't be like this. When we came out, didn't the commander say that we are not idle, but have important uses? If the enemy army comes around here to sneak attack on our army's back, then we They are the most critical force in the entire army."
Shen Tianzi said bitterly: "We have been fighting for a long time and we haven't seen any enemy attacks. Humph, I'm afraid the commander-in-chief didn't want me to wait to attack, so he deliberately found some nice words to appease us, just like he said to that idiot Yu Yue, don’t you also praise me every time?”
Shen Qingzhi touched the fox fur ear protection on his ears, which was to cover up his frostbitten ears and maintain his image. He smiled slightly and said, "Be careful if Duke Yu hears this. I'll treat you to roast goose." ah. "
Shen Tianzi was slightly startled at first, then started laughing. He was once manic just now, and the dull atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Liu Zhong looked at the Shen brothers looking at each other and laughing, and shook his head helplessly. : "Is this how you Shen family tigers rely on telling jokes to make jokes? This is a good method, please teach me."
Shen Tianzi waved his hand: "Whenever your surname is Shen, you will naturally have the ability to make jokes. This is a unique skill of our Shen family. We don't pass on other surnames, right, Xanthium."
Shen Qingzhi, nicknamed Xiangu, smiled slightly: "I think you are right. However, Ah Zhong is the commander's favorite general. Half of the entire army's cavalry is given to him. Such an important unit is also here with us. Defense, it can be seen that the handsome words are not false. Third brother, when can you change your hot temper?"
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Of course I understand the truth, but I, Shen Tianzi, am not born to be someone who waits at the back. Only being indomitable and willing to repay grudges is my character. I need to use the Shen family soldiers to defend here. A few brothers will suffice, I would rather go to the front army and be a vanguard in the battle under the command of the champion general."
Shen Yunzi shook his head: "Didn't you listen to what Tieniu said when he passed by just now? Liu Guanjun, who was at the vanguard, was strictly guarding the front line. He only defended but did not attack. Now he is fighting with the wooden armored mecha created by the demon thieves. In a big battle, even the most powerful general like him has launched a defensive counterattack, so why are you so excited?"
Shen Tianzi slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's the problem. If it were fought by another army, I wouldn't have anything to say, but is there anyone in the world who understands the demon thieves' agencies better than we do? Back then, we could I have worked with these wooden monsters a lot, and I know their weaknesses very well. If we are allowed to..."
Shen Qingzhi's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, there is the sound of horse hooves, they are rushing here!"
Shen Linzi immediately fell to the ground with his ears pressed tightly to the ground. Among the Shen tigers, although Shen Linzi was not as brave as Shen Tianzi, he was unmatched in terms of military tactics, understanding of the terrain, and reconnaissance of the enemy. In the past, when he was in the Tianshi Dao army, he was known as the goshawk and fox hunter, which meant that he had sharp ears and eyes, and no military action within ten miles could avoid his eyes and ears.
While listening, Shen Linzi murmured: "Four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, um, there are more than 800 riders, turning from the right wing. The speed is about one hundred and ten miles an hour, um, very fast . But the sound of horse hooves is not loud, so it shouldn’t be heavy cavalry.”
Shen Yunzi frowned: "What's going on? Not all armor and cavalry?"
Shen Tianzi laughed: "It's just a few hundred cavalry, and it's not armored cavalry. I'm afraid, it's just a small group of enemy troops that came around our rear to attack us, or to check the strength of our army. Grandma, it's here anyway." If we are going to be bored, we might as well destroy this enemy force so that we can move around."
Shen Qingzhi shook his head: "No, these cavalry don't sound like the enemy's wings were broken up or they were escaping rangers. After all, the collective action of more than 800 cavalry is quite large. I'm afraid that they may be lured by the enemy. Troops."
Shen Tianzi's expression changed: "Xanthium, what do you mean?"
Liu Zhong said solemnly: "I agree with Xanthium's opinion. Nearly a thousand enemy cavalry are coming here at this time. I'm afraid they want to check the strength of our army and lure our army away from the formation. I'm afraid that thousands of them will follow behind them." With thousands of armor and cavalry equipped, the commander’s prediction will not be wrong. We must not lose composure at this moment and take the initiative to attack. This will expose the strength of our army and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Then how about contacting Brother Tieniu's ambush in the woods outside, attacking from both sides, and first destroying the enemy's path-exploring troops, letting them know that we have elite soldiers and cavalry here, no? Dare to come?"
Liu Zhong shook his head: "Brother Tieniu's cavalry is of great use. Only the commander can command it. What we have to do is to hold on here and wait for the command from the commander. Yunzi, I think we should use bows and arrows. Hold down the position with your hands to prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching, and the swordsmen and my cavalry are hidden. The enemy cavalry does not know the strength of our army, so they must not dare to attack in a large scale."
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Our Shen family soldiers have always been offensive, not defensive. No matter whether there is an ambush behind the enemy, I think we can attack him first, kill as many as we can, and drive them away. , if we return to the formation, we will be able to frighten the enemy’s possible backup.”
Although Shen Yunzi currently has no official status or senior military position and can be regarded as joining the army in vain, he is undoubtedly the backbone of the Shen brothers who attach great importance to brotherhood and is also the actual commander-in-chief of the rear army. He frowned slightly and judged Liu Zhong Then, he finally said in a deep voice: "Put out the antlers, spread out the formation, pretend to be panic, I want to lure the enemy into the formation!"
