Hearing this, Nie Chen couldn't help but be startled.

No, you led my army and fought out of my city, and then you didn’t listen to me?

Nie Chen is such a smart person. He immediately understood after hearing the other party's unruly speech.

This is Weng Qiuchan, Wang Hao and Zhou Ping. They have not conquered Zhou An yet. Zhou An went to the battlefield simply because he liked to show force like this.

And from his attitude, Nie Chen also knew that the other person was an extremely proud and brainless person.

After all, no matter how fierce a general is, he must be humble when facing a lord with an army of two hundred thousand.

But Zhou An didn't seem to have any such awareness at all.

However, instead of being angry, Nie Chen actually laughed.

Such people are good, easy to coax, easy to fool, and easy to be loyal.

So, he changed his expression and said,

"Zhou An, do you dare to join me in attacking the enemy's rear army and capture the commander Queding Tangwu alive!"

"Why don't you dare! Drive!"

When Zhou An heard this, he immediately became energetic.

Indeed, when two armies are fighting, there is nothing better than capturing the enemy's coach alive among thousands of troops to show off one's force and prove oneself.

Zhou An immediately turned his horse's head, followed Nie Chen, and rushed north with him.

Nie Chen led the cavalry to attack the enemy's rear, leaving the infantry behind, but he was not worried that there would be no one to command him. After all, he was not the commander now, he was just acting as a fierce general. It was Liang who commanded the army. Peng and Ouyang Ming, as well as many generals below.

Zhou An had a very bad attitude towards Nie Chen before. Lin Guang, Yue Dongwen and Ma Niubai were all unconvinced and wanted to deal with Zhou An and vent their anger on Nie Chen. But now they are on the battlefield and there is no way they can fight among themselves. Take action against your compatriots.

But two people were different, they were very happy.

Zhou Long and Zhou Hu followed Nie Chen, waving to Zhou An repeatedly and said,

"Second brother! Second brother! We are over here!"

When Zhou An saw Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, he grinned and said,

"Third and fourth brothers, come here and follow me. We three brothers will capture the enemy coach alive together!"

Hearing this, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu hesitated a little. After all, they were Nie Chen's personal guard captain. It would not be good if they left Nie Chen to follow Zhou An.

Nie Chen said,

"Along Ahu, you two go help your second brother!"

"As you command!"

Zhou Long and Zhou Hu immediately caught up with Zhou An happily.

Brothers fight, father and son go into battle.

Brothers are more effective on the battlefield.

Nie Chen and Zhou An, with many fierce generals and 11,000 cavalry, attacked the enemy's rear in a mighty manner.

After Liang Peng saw this, he immediately ordered that the entire army be divided into two teams. One team relied on the north city gate and pushed north to push back the enemy. The other team of 100,000 people changed to the south to clear out the east of the city. enemy.

The battlefield of 600,000 people cannot be described with just a few words. The armies of both sides surround Qingshui County. I am among you, and you are among me.

Because it is not a step-by-step confrontation between the two armies, this further tests the commander's command ability, whether he can achieve reasonable deployment, meticulous command, and separate several parts to attack the enemy. It all depends on the commander alone.

Liang Peng did not panic at all and was observing the situation all the time. Now the enemy troops are scattered, the camp is in chaos, and the army is defeated. Our victory is an inevitable outcome. What he needs to do now is to command reasonably and do his best. to annihilate more enemy troops.

Nie Chen's side was happy to kill, but Ning Wushuang's side was ready to fight.

The 60,000-strong army stopped moving forward, and then formed a formation on the spot to resist the cavalry from the north and prevent them from attacking the infantry phalanx in the Feng Army.

The 60,000-strong army was neatly arranged. This was Ning Wushuang's careful calculation.

At the front is a row of heavy shield soldiers. Heavy shield soldiers are the vanguard. They are common in any army. When two armies are fighting, they are used to resist the opponent's infantry and chariots.

Now, it is used by Ning Wushuang to command the cavalry to resist the enemy.

The second row was densely packed with spearmen.

Each of these pikemen held a three-meter-long spear. They squatted down and leaned their spears against the shields of the heavy shield soldiers in front. Block the opposing cavalry.

The third row is composed of sword and shield soldiers. They hold their sabers and bucklers tightly and stand ready.

On the battlefield of this era, the weapons of soldiers were mainly spears and bows, and swords only played a supporting role.

Because of the low iron production, bows, arrows and spears with less iron naturally became the main weapons, with low cost and higher output. Moreover, the soldiers rushed to fight in the battle formation, and there was rarely a big melee. Spears and bows, which are one inch longer and stronger and can attack the enemy from a distance, naturally become the main weapons.

As for the sword and shield soldiers, they usually come in handy when a big melee breaks out and the spears cannot be used.

But when it came to Nie Chen, the sword and shield soldiers turned into sword and crossbow soldiers, which could be used for both close combat and long-range attacks.

In the fourth row are archers.

The archers are ready to attack the enemy from a distance.

The last row is composed of chariot soldiers.

It stands to reason that when the two sides are fighting, the chariot soldiers should take the lead and lead the infantry forward, but the opposite side is the cavalry. The cavalry is more flexible and faster than the chariot soldiers, and Ning Wushuang does not have many chariots, and there are only a few in total. There are only more than a hundred cavalry. If you go against the 30,000 cavalry on the opposite side, you are looking for death!

Usually, there are three people on the chariot, one driving the car, one holding the spear and the other holding the bow and arrow.

But this time the chariots and soldiers were different. There were four people on them, one driving the car and three controlling the crossbow.

After Nie Chen saw Ning Wushuang's chariot, he unlocked a new way to play.

Lift the Pojun Crossbow directly onto the chariot, and use the height and flexibility of the chariot to directly shoot the crossbow arrows from the heads of your own soldiers to attack the enemy's cavalry.

The cavalry is also tall, and the chariot is also tall. With the cooperation, it can effectively attack the cavalry and protect the broken crossbow.

The army-breaking crossbow has a long range. Even if the enemy is approaching, it can drive away directly, strike while walking, and transform into a tank.

When Nie Chen explained the tank to Ning Wushuang, Ning Wushuang was confused, but it did not prevent him from understanding that the tank was indeed an artifact compared to the Army-breaking Crossbow.

Moreover, after Nie Chen improved this generation of Pojun crossbow, it can shoot three crossbow arrows at once.

Nie Chen planned to design it carefully after this time to create a crossbow that could perfectly integrate with the tank. The kind that could shoot ten crossbow arrows at one time would directly transform into an anti-aircraft gun.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the prototype is the Qin Nu Chariot.

After all, this is the great weapon of Qin Sao Liuhe, and it is definitely a weapon for dealing with cavalry and large battle formations.
