Jin army, Shuaitai.
Liu Yu calmly looked at the battle situation of the forward. The Yan army's wooden armor machine had already put in the sixth detachment. There were more than 180 wooden armors. There was one more than ten steps away. Fifty meters in front of the Jin army's formation. Stepping left and right, they lined up in a row. The bows and arrows on their shoulders kept firing, making huge arcs, like bursts of black clouds, passing through the sky, crossing the shield formation, and finally falling behind the shield. From their From the angle, we can't see how many casualties were caused to the Jin army behind the shield. We only know that the opposite side is quiet as usual without any counterattack. It seems to have been completely suppressed. But from Liu Yu's point of view, looking from the direction of the commander's platform, the shield The remaining sergeants, numbering less than five hundred, quickly dug a hole and got in. The shield bearers put their large shields on the heads of these sergeants and half-buried themselves in groups of two. , no matter how much arrows rained down from outside, it would be difficult to injure the sergeants in these bunkers and shields at all.
Behind the wooden armor machine, the Yan army was forming a formation. The number of three thousand soldiers guarding the back had increased to tens of thousands, and they began to form a formation with the heavy armored infantry in front and the archers in the back. In about a quarter of an hour, they should be engaged in battle. Unlike the 30,000 infantrymen in leather armor or light helmets who were commanded by Gongsun Wulou to attack the formation before, the infantrymen who are going into battle this time are all in full iron armor. The elite soldiers were armed to the teeth, and the weapons they used were round knives, long swords, large shields and sharp axes. At first glance, they were elite heavy infantry. They seemed to be preparing to break through from the front.
Yu Yue was nervous and hadn't spoken for a long time. He finally swallowed his saliva, took out the water bag beside him and filled his mouth with water. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, just passively being beaten like this? What if the enemy infantry If we come up, what should we do? Is it possible to hide in a hole and wait for someone to kill us?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Yu Gong, what are you in a hurry? Liu Guanguan won two battles in a row at the front, especially the first battle, when he wiped out all 5,000 cavalry. The enemy was afraid of another ambush and did not dare to attack easily with all their strength. , now those heavy armored infantry are arrayed, and it is obvious that they are just here to test. If they really attack in front of the array, our army will naturally have a way to resist. Those wooden armored machine men are just shooting arrows, and they will not be able to break through our array. , nothing to worry about.”
Yu Yue turned around and glanced at the vehicle formations on both wings, his brows still furrowed: "Both wings are also being besieged round by round. Although our vehicle formation is indestructible, it is not a problem to be passively beaten like this. The enemy's troops It's all covered in smoke and dust, and we don't know how many of them are rushing forward. Our more than 30,000 elite soldiers are just dragged on the two wings. It's a pity. It's better to take some elite soldiers and put them in the front army, and then take the initiative to attack and break the enemy's attack in one fell swoop. The battle formation destroyed those wooden armored mechs, this should be the way our Beifu Army should fight."
Wang Shen'ai smiled slightly: "Yu Canjun, please be patient. I think Liu Cheqi should have already figured out how to defeat the enemy. The enemy's current attack, except for the pressure from the front, is just a bluff. Liu Cheqi The real worry for the cavalry is probably in the rear army.”
Liu Yu's lips curled up: "Your Highness the Queen, I think the enemy's large group of cavalry should have turned to the rear army, but just now Liu Zhong sent news that they are probably less than a thousand cavalry coming to the rear army. They should be here to test." Yes, the response of the Shen brothers and the Wu soldiers will be the key now."
When Yu Yue heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Then the commander-in-chief hasn't personally given the order, no, hasn't he personally led troops to reinforce the rear army? Those soldiers of the Shen brothers are old thieves from the days of Tianshi Dao. At the critical moment, I don’t know if it’s reliable yet.”
Liu Yu frowned, and for the first time today he said to Yu Yue in a stern tone: "Yu joins the army, please be careful what you say. The Shen brothers were confused and coerced themselves into thieves before, but later they repented and They have been loyal and reliable all these years. They also performed great services when the righteous army was founded, and they have long washed away the shame and sins of the past. On the battlefield, they are all brothers who share life and death. Please do not doubt their loyalty. .”
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "But after all, they have betrayed the Jin Dynasty and killed many officers and soldiers. When our army is strong, it will be attached for a while. If the battle situation is unfavorable or dangerous, it will be difficult to say. Originally, the commander-in-chief asked Liu Zhong The purpose of leading the cavalry to the rear army was to monitor them, but now..."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Yu joins the army, if you really want to dwell on the past, it seems that you and I have betrayed the Jin Dynasty and have been thieves. You said that the Shen brothers have been demon thieves, so don't you and I? Have you ever been Huan Xuan's minister and stooped to serve Chu? Am I not trustworthy, and you can't be trusted either?"
Yu Yue's face turned pale all of a sudden, three points whiter than the powder he had just put on his face. He said incoherently: "I, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say..."
Liu Yu sighed: "Okay, Yu joins the army, Yu Gong, I understand what you mean, but on the battlefield, soldiers are all brothers and sisters. If you don't trust them, don't lead them into battle. I have led everyone who has been to Daxian Mountain I believe that the soldiers are heroes who are loyal to the Jin Dynasty and are definitely not traitors. It is better not to say such unfounded suspicions, so as not to affect the morale of the army. I sent Liu Zhong to the rear army in order to obey Shen Yunzi's order. The reinforcements to resist the enemy's cavalry are not the surveillance you think. Fighting side by side, if you have doubts in your heart, you will become a more terrifying enemy than the enemy. Do you understand?"
Yu Yue gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed his arms deeply to his waist: "I made a mistake in my lowly position. Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief."
Wang Shen'ai sighed softly: "Although the commander-in-chief said before that we should work together and make suggestions, we still need to pay attention to some words. Including Liu Guanjun of the former army, he also fell into Nanyan. If you don't believe this, That doubt, there is no need to fight this battle. Mr. Yu, although we are descendants of aristocratic families, most of the kings and masters in Jin Dynasty are descendants of poor families. At this time, it is best to put away the arrogance of being superior. "
Yu Yue's body was dripping with cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were visibly wet. He kept saying, "What Her Royal Highness the Queen said is true. I was the one who was rude. I am the one who was rude. I am willing to be punished by military law."
Wang Shen'ai's eyes flashed, and he opened his red lips lightly: "Okay, Liu Cheqi, Yu joined the army and was also loyal. Seeing the anxiety of the war, he got a little excited and said something indiscriminately. Please forgive him this time."
Liu Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I know he has good intentions. However, the current strength and layout of the rear army can handle thousands of light cavalry. If we encounter a large number of armored cavalry, I'm afraid it will still be a bit difficult. It’s difficult, but that’s how I arranged it, because I want to figure one thing out.”
