Taishi Ci frowned slightly. He felt uneasy at this moment, but he couldn't tell why.
Even if the eldest son of the Yuan family is an unlearned and unskilled embroidered pillow with a false reputation, it's not like he doesn't even have a single person available to him.
But the formation of six thousand Yuan troops in front of them showed everywhere that there really wasn't even a single expert in the opponent's formation.
The oppression brought by these six thousand people to Taishi Ci was not even as great as when he fought against the Shanyue tribe.
Therefore, Taishi Ci could not help but have a doubt in his heart, as if he was about to fall into a trap.
"Please go around again and find out more!"
Taishi Ci ordered the scouts.
"promise!"
Although the two armies have set up their positions, they are not going to fight immediately.
It is still necessary to arrange some tactics before the war, such as whether to attack or defend, who will take the lead, who will outflank, who will be the reserve team, etc.
And when the fight starts, it will also go through stages such as shouting, challenging, and testing.
Taishi Ci had doubts, so he was not in a hurry.
After Yuan Jun sent people out to speak, Taishi Ci also sent people out to answer the call, specifically delaying time.
Yuan Jun had many soldiers and horses, and the preparation work was more complicated, so he was not in a hurry.
After half an hour, the scout sent by Tai Shici finally ran back.
Although he looked out of breath, he still brought good news to Tai Shici.
There were no other movements of Yuan's troops around the battlefield.
Taishi Ci knew that he could not delay any longer. The next moment he received the spy report, he ordered: "Blow the drum, march!"
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the hard beating of several big cowhide drums by the drummers, the sound from slow to slow, from small to loud, instantly spread to the ears of all the soldiers on Taishi Ci's side.
Almost at the same time, the magistrate of Jingxian County who was sent out to shout the message quickly turned his horse and retreated back to his own military formation.
The next second, Taishi Ci took the lead, rushed out of the military formation, raised his spear and pointed forward.
"kill!"
This violent shout was like a huge thunder, exploding between the two armies!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
One thousand and five hundred soldiers from Jingxian County shouted three times in unison, and like a raging tide, they all rushed towards Yuan Jun's formation, following Tai Shici closely.
"Don't panic!"
Zhang Kai stood on the Chinese army chariot, danced the riding whip in his hand, and threw out a loud whip.
The trembling lieutenants around him did not stop shaking because of this order.
"Command the three armies to prepare for battle!"
Following Zhang Kai's order, Yuan Jun's dozens of drums began to beat loudly.
At this time, Yuan Jun's front army faced the enemy's charge hundreds of steps away. After experiencing the initial panic, it also began to react.
However, the reactions of the soldiers in the Four Songs were different.
The two soldiers in the center were commanded by the two unreliable Jiangdong military princes.
Zhang Kai's ability to recognize people is only average, but the people he despises must have very unreliable character or abilities!
Facts have also proved that these two military princes are really unreliable.
A Jiangdong Junhou, let’s call him Junhou Jia for the time being. After Taishi Ci launched the entire army to attack, A said "It's over" and never said another word.
In fact, two months ago, he was not a military prince at all, but just a small village commander with less than a hundred soldiers.
But inexplicably, he and his soldiers were transferred to another camp and reorganized.
Soon, he and three to four hundred other soldiers were reorganized into a song.
And inexplicably, the one with the highest military rank in this song is his small village commander, and the others who were merged were all led by lower-level team leaders.
Then he was directly appointed as the leader of this song, that is, the military prince.
He was still confused at the time, but soon he received a military order that they would no longer be under Sun Ce's command, and would be directly under the control of Left General Yuan Shu from now on.
At first, he thought he had a great opportunity and a chance to stand out. But soon he learned from the other fifteen military princes that even if they became "Yuan Jun", they were just cannon fodder.
With better luck, the soldiers from various places will be scattered and mixed up, and then added to Yuan's army as new recruits.
If you are not lucky enough, you will become cannon fodder on the battlefield.
But reality soon moved towards the second scenario.
They were really used as cannon fodder by the Yuan family's eldest son, and used as consumables to wipe out the Danyang bandits.
And he, a military prince who could not even serve as a camp commander, even became cannon fodder among cannon fodder, being blocked on the front line to welcome the cruelest fighting.
It's not like he hasn't thought about living towards death, carving out an opportunity on his own, and getting ahead!
But the reality is that he is a coward who is afraid of death!
It's okay for people like him to mix in among hundreds of people and pretend to be stupid.
Let him compose a long song and set an example for hundreds of people?
Sorry, the moment Taishi Ci led his army to launch a full-scale attack, any luck in his heart disappeared, and his whole person was completely withered!
No matter how the fake marquis beside him shouted to him for instructions, he could not say a word.
There was no one to direct the song, and the soldiers were suddenly leaderless in this song, and they were in chaos before the fight even started.
Jiehou was helpless, but he still had a little bit of manliness, so he shouted to everyone around him: "Don't mess up!"
"Listen to me and prepare to fight!"
But before he could continue to talk about how to engage in the battle, Taishi Ci's soldiers had already rushed to a distance of less than a hundred steps.
Jiuhou's brain almost didn't think, and he instinctively said: "Run it for me!"
Everyone's tense nerves seemed to be released with the sound of "Chong".
He just blindly followed the order regardless of whether it was right or inappropriate.
First, a soldier standing at the forefront took a step forward as a reflex, and then the soldiers next to him subconsciously followed suit.
Then, more and more people took a tentative step, and then everyone took a step forward as if they couldn't take it back.
Finally, when the people behind you follow blindly, the people in front have no way out and can only move forward.
And the people behind can only follow the people in front of them.
These five hundred people went from walking to running in just a few seconds.
So, forgetting to let the archers fire, this group of soldiers launched a counterattack as if they were adept at making decisions.
The people responsible for attacking this military formation were the Shanyue leaders under Taishi Ci and hundreds of Shanyue soldiers.
Originally, the Shanyue leader was still thinking about whether Yuan Jun would build up a shield formation as General Taishi said and get himself into trouble.
But he was pleasantly surprised to see that this Han army, which was overestimating its capabilities, actually charged towards him.
And the Han crossbows that made him extremely fearful seemed to not exist at all. From the beginning to the end, there were never those black arrows that killed people in the sky!
"My dear men, it's time to hunt!"
"kill!"
The leader of Shanyue could not hide his ecstasy. He rushed directly into the crowd of Yuan's army with a strange-shaped sword.
And all the Shanyue soldiers seemed to be drunk.
Although there was no cavalry, the impact of the running of this group of fierce Shanyue soldiers was as surging as the galloping of a hundred horses.
…
Compared to Jun Hou A, who was lost from the beginning and looked like a useless person, at least Jun Hou B is not without any skills!
At least Junhou Yi still has some success.
Although his command was chaotic, at least he knew how to command.
Although the enemy troops rushed to a distance of less than fifty steps, he belatedly ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows.
But at least his crossbowmen still fired arrows.
The leader here is naturally Taishi Ci Benci.
Seeing only a few dozen arrows being shot towards him, Taishi Ci looked happy!
These eight thousand Yuan troops did not concentrate all their crossbowmen on the front army!
This is definitely a fatal mistake!
It is also Taishi Ci’s biggest fear!
Taishi Ci knew better than anyone how much damage a volley of a thousand crossbowmen could cause!
Moreover, the rain of flying arrows will not only bring physical damage, but also psychological suppression!
In fact, it is very likely that his 1,500 soldiers would be defeated by Yuan Jun's first three volleys!
But now, it is obvious that Yuan Jun did not do this at all!
"Cum! Cum for me!"
"Go on and load the arrows, why are you taking so long!"
"The enemy troops are almost coming, but you should keep shooting!"
Jun Hou Yi angrily scolded his crossbowmen.
In fact, archery is like pressing a switch button.
Originally, he only needed to say "shoot an arrow" and press the on button, and then there would be no need to worry about it.
The order urging the soldiers to continue shooting arrows was continued by the archers.
And his frequent urging put more pressure on the crossbowmen. So the crossbowmen who could have fired another round of arrows were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to shoot the second arrow amidst the urging shouts.
Not only that, this "just a little bit of fame" Junhou Yi also forgot his most important responsibility at this time.
While he was still urging the crossbowmen, Taishi Ci had already taken the lead and jumped into his army.
Screams sounded around Taishi Ci almost at the same time.
Only then did Army Marquis Yi realize that the enemy general had entered his formation, and the enemy soldiers were about to engage him in close combat!
"Kill him for me!"
"Shield soldiers, why haven't you formed a shield formation yet? Stop them!"
"Spearmen, where are the spearmen? Why are you standing so far forward? We are not attacking now. You retreat to the third column and let the shield soldiers bear..."
There was another burst of panicked shouting.
And this also successfully attracted Tai Shici's attention!
