Li Nanfeng smiled slightly and glanced at Zhang Zhuer beside him. Zhang Zhuer said with joy, "This is the art of war. The Jin army is also very cunning. It looks like a car formation. Maybe they won't put a large number of troops in front, but Send people to monitor first, and only when our troops come forward in large numbers, they will come forward to fight. Anyway, they will launch crossbows and have time to run over. If our fire attack cannot burn anyone and only burns some large vehicles, then it will be a disaster. loss."
He Tianping suddenly realized: "Yes, our goal is to kill more Jin troops, not just break the formation. Therefore, we have to attract more Jin troops to fight around the car formation, right?"
Zhang Zhuer nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. Therefore, we have to show off a strong attack and a quick attack. We will charge a few waves first to test the enemy's strength, especially the strength and strength of long-range weapons. Now, we have to look like we are ready to attack with all our strength. The Jin army is not only the front army, but even the central army will come to support here. This is the effect we want!"
Li Nanfeng's eyes flashed coldly: "Yes, they relied on the Tibetan armored chariots to kill two thousand of our brothers at once. This time, I want them to return twice as much, burn the chariot formations, and wipe out the Jin army's front troops." , kill four to five thousand of his people to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Having said this, he turned to He Tianping and said: "In a while, the ballistae will fire three rounds first, and then there will be about a thousand troops pressing on it, but I need all the Zongtan swordsmen to attack, and only the Zongtan swordsmen will be dispatched." Only if we have soldiers can the Jin army believe that we are serious about our actions, and then they can press all the troops to defend."
He Tianping frowned slightly: "In the Kongming Lantern raid just now, the total swordsmen suffered a lot of losses. Now there are only more than 230 people. Are you sure you really want to attack them all?"
Li Nanfeng said solemnly: "I don't really want you to attack the formation, I just need to pretend to be attacking, rush forward, and then use the rope to hook the car, trying to pull it away, and use smoke and fog to cover yourself and let the Jin army I feel like you just need to attack with force!”
He Tianping laughed: "Actually, we don't go forward, but we make loud noises, but actually retreat, right?"
Li Nanfeng nodded: "The north wind is strong now, which is beneficial to us. Not only can we use the wind and fire to attack, but we can also take advantage of the wind and smoke. Let me fire a volley of crossbows first, and then let the Jin army see our People began to attack, especially the swordsmen in red. Then, the troops attacking from the front withdrew and launched slingshots and flying spears with kerosene jars. After the opponent's car formation was filled with kerosene jars, , just give me the fire attack!"
He Tianping licked his lips and said, "I'm going now!"
Jin army, front army, phalanx on the north side.
Fu Hongzhi squatted on a cart with a serious face, looking at the more than 20 crossbow carts 300 steps away from the raft. The disciples of Tianshi Dao were busy coming and going, shooting at these crossbow carts. There were flying spears and repeating crossbows on the carts, and more than a thousand Tianshi Dao disciples holding weapons were behind these crossbow carts, waving their weapons and roaring. Obviously, after a burst of crossbows flying, they were about to launch a charge. .
Beside Fu Hongzhi, Pei Fangming smiled and said: "I'm here to die again, Brother Hongzhi, how about we compete with each other to see who can kill more this time?"
Fu Hongzhi shook his head gently: "Why do I feel something is wrong? The first two times should have shown that our defense is very strong, but if we have to attack like this, we can't penetrate our big cars with just these ballistas." A phalanx with a large shield, the demon thief wouldn't be so stupid."
Pei Fangming curled up his lips: "They were riding a tiger and couldn't get off. They managed to sneak back to the flank. Seeing that we were also setting up a temporary formation, we wanted to grit our teeth and fight. Whether it succeeds or not, we have to try our best. The previous tentative attack was to test us. It’s false and true, but we don’t have thousands of arrows here. It seems that there are only a few hundred to more than a thousand archers. They think they can still fight one guy, ah, look..."
As he spoke, he pointed forward and saw vaguely some people in red clothes with two swords on their backs and high buns in the enemy formation. They seemed to have people with buns on their heads. They flashed past. Hidden behind these ballistas. However, from the perspective of the large vehicle being slightly higher than the ground, one can vaguely see some red clothes underneath these enemy ballistas.
Pei Fangming sneered and said: "Even the swordsmen of the general altar are dispatched. These are the elite demon thieves who just descended from the sky on the Kongming Lantern. Each of them is as good as ten, and they are very good at close combat. Brother Hongzhi, look, the demon thieves have put all their trump cards on the table. They just want to break the formation in one fell swoop. So many people died in front of them. If they don’t capture our front flank phalanx, their death will be in vain. Today’s battle will most likely be lost!”
Fu Hongzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "So that's it. It seems that I'm a little too worried. I always feel that something is wrong. If they even bet the swordsman of the general altar, they will definitely have to fight this wave. Now they The front is dragging our attacking troops, but he quietly withdraws the general swordsmen to this direction. Humph, he sent people to test just now to guide these general swordsmen to attack the weak points. We have to advance Bring our reserve troops and let all the gunners board the vehicles, especially those places where there are insufficient bows and arrows. Their attacks should be carried out from these weak links."
Pei Fangming laughed: "I was just waiting for them to come like this. The thousand brothers behind me have been prepared for a long time. This time will be the most ferocious wave of demon thieves. If we defeat this wave, we will win!" "
A rough voice, accompanied by the sound of fast horse hooves, rang directly in their ears: "Brother Hongzhi, Brother Hongzhi, Brother Fang Ming, hurry up, retreat quickly, retreat..."
The faces of the two changed, and they turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw Yao Shufu galloping on his horse, rushing over at a swift pace. He was lying on the saddle, probably relying on this. Do this to reduce the resistance of the oncoming wind and allow you to run faster. It wasn't until he rushed here that he straightened up from his horse, revealing his bearded and fleshy face.
Pei Fangming laughed: "Shu Fu, aren't you in the Chinese Army? Why, you..."
His face suddenly changed, and his nose twitched twice instinctively, because he found that Yao Shufu's whole body was as if he had been fished out of a mud pond, covered with mud, and even the horse was covered in mud. After seeing the wet, smelly mud, the whole person felt as if he had been fished out of the gutter, making him want to vomit.
