Li Nanfeng took a breath of air: "Is it enough to defeat three phalanxes? How did you get the confidence and courage to praise this Haikou?"
He Tianping smiled slightly: "Didn't we try to attack just now? The same force, elite soldiers of similar level and number, put on red clothes and pretended to be general swordsmen, attacked fifteen different square formations on average, especially In the eight square formations in front, twenty or thirty people entered each square formation. In most of the square formations, the battle could last until a quarter of an hour before it ended. That is to say, the Jin army's axe-hands and jumping soldiers were ambushing in the formation. It will take about a quarter of an hour for us to kill our melee swordsmen."
"But there are only three square formations in the center. After our people entered, there was no movement for half a quarter of an hour, and this was the case for both attacks. This is not an accident. This shows that the core elite of the Jin army, even the main general, They are all in the three square formations in the center. Although they do not fly general flags or issue general orders, where the elite soldiers are, that is, where the main generals are, and perhaps Tan Zhi himself is also commanding there."
Li Nanfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Junior Brother He's observations are indeed meticulous. I actually saw these just now, but I am not the main attacker this time, so I can't say anything more to you. Now that you have these two hundred brothers attacking, all of them will Concentrated in the three square directions, what about other places?"
He Tianping pondered for a moment and said: "In other directions, the soldiers in red clothes are still sent to confuse the Jin army, while the main force is used to storm the center. Once a gap is opened in the center, the enemy generals may also We will be killed, and other places where we have lost command are not a concern. When the battle is critical, the Jin army may raise the flag of the general. At this time, Tan Zhi's position must be, I will fight with all my strength. Attack here, and I hope that Senior Brother Li, your assistance will follow suit!"
Li Nanfeng laughed: "It's natural. I will definitely help you with all my strength. Junior Brother He, you can attack with confidence. After destroying Tan Zhi's front army, you and I will meet again under his handsome flag!"
He Tianping turned around and ran forward, followed closely by more than two hundred swordsmen in blue uniforms. Li Nanfeng looked at his retreating figure with an evil smile on his lips.
The Jin army's central army is on the commander's platform.
Liu Daogui looked calm. To the north of him, tens of thousands of Tianshi Dao disciples were like a blue ocean, divided into several waves, and they took turns moving toward the twenty square formations flanking the Chinese army. Round after round of impact, in the direction where the battle lines intersected, the sky was darkened by the light of swords and the shadows of halberds, and the smoke and dust rolled up by the strong wind covered the figures of the soldiers on both sides. Only through the thunderous killing Only by the sound and bloody smoke can we judge how fierce the battle ahead is.
However, no matter how fierce the battle was, no matter how loud the killing roar was, the central battle line of the Jin army remained unmoved. The halberdiers and spearmen in front, after several minutes of high-intensity killing and stabbing, , with the sound of gongs, they would withdraw in an orderly manner, while the soldiers in the back row shouted slogans and held the top of their halberds with both hands. The soldiers in the third row behind them would put their hands on theirs. On their shoulders, they shouted slogans while providing them with physical support and mental encouragement.
The width of about three steps left between the rows is just enough for the sergeants in the front row to quickly withdraw. When these sergeants with their sharp knife edges all stained with blood rush back and run to the back row to rest, The space left by this would be quickly filled by the soldiers in the rear team, turning it into a tight square formation of four or five rows.
After the fourth and fifth rows, a central space was surrounded. The wounded soldiers were quickly carried back on stretchers by civilians and auxiliary soldiers, while the soldiers with minor injuries or less were being bandaged and drinking water. , the battle was so fierce, every soldier's body was covered with sweat like mist, and the sweat on his body was like rain. No one would urinate at this time, because all the water has been excreted as sweat. Everyone greedily took the water bag on the ground, poured it into their mouths, and poured it on their bodies. The rare two or three minutes of rest was to restore their strength so that they could fight again!
Next to Liu Daogui, Yanzhi was wearing a large armor. Standing next to him, wiping the sweat from his face, he said: "It seems that our defense line on the north side is impregnable. If I had known, I wouldn't have to come back from the south. But the south side , although there is no movement now, are you really not worried at all?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "Although the demon thieves have slightly more troops than us, they are not many times more powerful. It is impossible to surround us from all sides. Now their main force is on the north side, and even Xu Daofu's handsome flag is coming. Well, there is not much left to attack in the south. I have left two thousand troops there, which is enough to deal with it."
Yanzhi's face was still solemn and he said: "But isn't the art of war false and true? Will Xu Daofu deliberately let us see his commanding flag, hide his strength, and attack from the south?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Yanzhi, although the art of war is virtual but real, it also needs to be adapted to local conditions. The north wind is blowing strongly now. Just like just now, the demon thieves used fire attacks to defeat us, and from the south, it is Walking with the back of the wind, not only fire attacks cannot be used, but the power of bows and arrows is also greatly reduced. The soldiers fight against the wind and their combat effectiveness is less than 70%. More importantly, without the cover of sand and dust, they have a clear view. The demon thieves want to maneuver to It would be difficult to reach the sky without us discovering the south side. If they had thousands of cavalry, it would be fine if they could maneuver at any time, but they don't. Therefore, this kind of attack from the north to the south can be ruled out. Where is Xu Daofu? The position is the position of his commanding flag, not only this flag, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses beside the flag!"
Yanzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Brother Daogui, you can see clearly, so I don't have to worry anymore. However, in this case, is it necessary to leave two thousand troops in the south? I think if the troops are brought back now, With a counterattack, we can defeat the nearly 10,000 demon thieves attacking in one fell swoop. They have charged a few times and are already exhausted."
Liu Daogui smiled and said: "That's not necessary. Now is not the time for a decisive battle. I think the attack on the central front of the monster thieves is not their real intention. I am afraid their real killing move is not in the central army, but in the front army." Ah. Yanzhi, you have to be prepared to join the brothers in the front army, or even to stabilize the front and meet the defeated army."
Yanzhi's face changed: "How is this possible? The monster thieves in the front army can only attack a few thousand troops, and they are not a new force. How can they attack and defeat our front army?"
