Outside Lingbi City, the Western Chu Army was covered by cavalry, and groups of soldiers poured out of the city. It took a lot of time just to get out of the city.
After leaving the city, these Western Chu soldiers formed a fierce military formation.
All the generals of the Western Chu Army came forward, including Fan Zeng.
Looking around, the black armor of the Western Chu Army in the wilderness is like mountains and seas. With these more than 300,000 troops alone, plus many generals, the strength of the Western Chu Army is second only to the Huai Army in the land of Jianghuai. .
It's no wonder that he has the idea of conquering Xuzhou.
When the Western Chu army formed a formation, the Huai army's camp was also opened, and the mighty Huai army lined up in sequence. There were 100,000 soldiers on the left and right wings alone. The central army was heavier, with 200,000 soldiers released.
This is a typical wild goose formation, focusing on defense.
Defense also contains murderous intent.
"The cavalry is placed on both wings, and the central army forms a square formation with infantry. This is waiting for the Western Chu army to take the initiative to attack!"
Wang Jing, a group of civil and military personnel, as well as Chen Gong and others, have arrived at the military command vehicle.
After seeing Murong Shaozong's formation.
Wang Jing knew what the other party was thinking. After gaining his trust and gaining the authority to dispatch and command hundreds of thousands of troops for the first time, Murong Shaozong did not dare to make any rash advances and still chose to act prudently.
But this is just what he wants.
"Mr. Gongtai, now that Xi Chu wants to have a showdown with us, this battle will definitely be a bloody battle. The trap camp and Bingzhou cavalry under your command must also be ready to go out!"
Wang Jing said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Prince Huai, your two families have formed an alliance. Now is the time for our army to contribute, how dare we spare our efforts?"
Chen Gong said.
Gao Shun also rarely spoke up and promised: "If King Huai has an order, the general will definitely obey the order!"
"Okay, I feel relieved to be alone!"
Wang Jing laughed.
Although the Western Chu Army was at a strategic disadvantage, they still had nearly 400,000 troops. In terms of military strength, they were no less than the Huai Army, and they also had cavalry as the bottom of the pack.
In this kind of brutal cadaver site, anything could happen. Wang Jing wanted to make sure there would be no accidents before the war started.
After most of the Western Chu army left the city, Fan Zeng, Xiang Zhuang and Long Qie boarded the high platform.
Long Qie held the command flag in his hand and commanded the entire army in place of Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang.
Among the many generals of the Western Chu Army, there were many fierce generals, such as Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, Xiang Sheng and others. They were all strong generals with outstanding military strength, but their ability to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was only limited.
The only general who has personally commanded more than 200,000 people is Long Qie, and he led his troops out and was defeated...
"Xiang Guan, Xiang Sheng! You each lead 20,000 elite troops and attack the enemy's two wings!"
Long Qie held the spiritual flag and gave orders sternly.
Boom!
With the flags waving, tens of thousands of elite soldiers moved together, like spears piercing the Huai Army, dividing into two sides to attack the two wings of the Huai Army.
In the so-called wild goose formation, the central army is in the center, and the two sides are arranged in a semi-arc formation with low wings and high altitude close to the central army.
It can protect both sides of the Chinese army. If the enemy attacks the central army, the troops and horses on both wings can slowly spread out, like a white crane spreading its wings, to attack the enemy from both sides, thereby gaining an advantage.
Therefore, this formation is called Crane Wing Formation.
This is one of the ten types of formations commonly used in military books. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Like the Yanyue Formation, it is the most commonly used formation when armies are arrayed.
Dragon Qie is good at leading troops.
Of course, he knew that sending troops and horses directly to attack the center of the Huai Army would definitely be at a disadvantage, so he prepared to send elite troops to attack the two wings of the Huai Army in turn.
If the two wings of the Huai army can be shaken and the Chinese army is exposed... then the Western Chu army can turn the tables and take the initiative in this battle!
Xiang Guan and Xiang Sheng each led an elite team and immediately stepped forward.
The archers, crossbows and other equipment in the battle formations of both sides also had arrows on their strings, just waiting for an order.
The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. Murong Shaozong looked forward closely, his face still calm. Even when he saw the Western Chu army starting to attack, he did not issue any more orders.
At this time, the generals on the left and right wings were Zhang Guiba and Tang Shengzong.
As for Zhang Lin, who had often served as a general in the past, he was demoted and appointed due to being injured in a defeat and could no longer hold the position of chief general.
When hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides came out of camp to confront each other, the sky seemed to be solidified by boundless evil energy, making people breathless.
boom!
When the Xi Chu army quickly marched forward, the thundering sound of war drums shocked Chen Ning, and a surge of evil energy suddenly rose up between the heaven and the earth, almost filling the sky.
Zhang Guiba is the main general on the left wing. He is fully armed, wearing armor and carrying a spear, and looks sharply at the approaching enemy troops.
Although the enemy and ourselves were arrayed in the wilderness, the array covered dozens of miles, and it was impossible to overview the entire battlefield with the naked eye.
Even the general on the flank, with an army of 100,000 at his command, is limited in what he can do in this situation.
In this case, both sides can only continue to test and fight, constantly killing the lives of the soldiers, until one side's soldiers are seriously damaged, morale is low, and suddenly collapses.
"The enemy is coming!"
Sento Zhangze, the personal guard, shouted.
Many soldiers of the Huai Army could see the forest of flags of the Western Chu Army in the distance, as if a black wave was sweeping in.
These elite Western Chu troops lined up in columns or horizontal formations, rolling forward constantly. At the front were the sword and shield men holding swords and shields, followed by archers and spearmen...
"Well done! Crossbowmen ready!"
Zhang Guiba immediately shouted.
The general of Western Chu who was responsible for attacking Zhang Guiba's troops on the left was Xiang Sheng. After he led his elite infantry to run over, he roared and the whole army suddenly stopped.
Uh-huh!
The archers in the two armies' formations shot at the bases.
"kill!"
Xiang Sheng looked at the dense military formation in front of him, his face twisted and trembling slightly, knowing that the opponent's military formation was too strict and should not be underestimated. If he attacked by force, he would suffer heavy losses.
But at this time, he had no other choice but to lead the charge himself.
Especially as a descendant of the Xiang family, he must set an example. Since he has occupied an official position in the Western Chu Army, he must not escape from the battlefield and ruin his family business.
Following his order.
The sword-and-shielder at the front raised his shield and began to approach, and then both sides fired arrows at the same time.
The arrow rain was like dark clouds, covering almost half of the sky.
Puff puff!
Even Baihu and school captains holding shields and wearing armor would be hit accidentally under this overwhelming rain of arrows, and ordinary soldiers would inevitably be hit by arrows.
The rain of arrows raged, and hundreds of soldiers who stepped forward screamed and fell to the ground.
However, these soldiers are just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast military formation that can be seen at a glance. At this time, the soldiers on both sides were tense, holding their swords and guns tightly, fighting for their own future and lives.
There is no spare time to pay attention to companions in other places.
