"Huh? Something seems not right." Yan Tao frowned slightly on the chariot.
As an experienced veteran, Yan Tao quickly heard that the battle ahead was fierce, and it was definitely not something that four or five hundred people could achieve.
"General, could this sound mean that there are nearly a thousand Jin troops here?" Lin Zhiming also asked with a serious expression.
"The total number of soldiers and horses Guan Cheng has in hand is less than 2,000. Does he dare to wait for me here? Or is he so stupid that he thinks he can compete with my five armies with less than 2,000 men and horses?"
Lin Zhiming replied: "Li'er is such a li'er, but doing the opposite often has miraculous results. It's called surprise. Maybe Guan Cheng wants to win with surprise troops?"
After hearing this, Yan Tao smiled disdainfully and said: "It's just wishful thinking. Although the art of war is won by surprise, victory must be achieved by right combination. The so-called upright soldiers, any clever plan ultimately pursues two things. One is to weaken the enemy. , the second is to strengthen yourself.”
"That's why I have the strength to surrender to the Shihui. Guan Cheng's only more than a thousand soldiers and horses have to be divided into part to maintain over 10,000 refugees. What clever strategy does he have that can compete with us?"
The more Yan Tao talked, the more he felt that his analysis was very reasonable, and he even burst out laughing.
If Liang Ren knew that his general was so proud of his own thoughts, he would definitely rush over and yell: You heard the sound was wrong, why didn't you send someone over to take a look!
At this time, there were only over 200 soldiers left under Liang Ren's command, and most of them had panicked looks on their faces. Liang Ren commanded everyone to form a defensive formation to support them, but that was all.
The Jin soldiers, who had experienced pursuit and charge, as well as ambushes and counterattacks, were severely hit in terms of physical strength and morale.
Morale is an invisible and intangible thing, but it is crucial to an army.
The gathering and stability of any kind of thinking creature is an unavoidable and crucial issue, so there is management, hierarchy and organizational structure, and all people are connected together through layer-by-layer transmission. play a greater role.
Morale flows through it like blood. Once morale is low or even chaotic, the backlash will be unbearable for any organization. If a soldier has no fighting spirit, he will be defeated, just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
At this time, Liang Ren was very worried. The Jin army had surrounded him. Standing at a slightly higher place, he could see that a limited number of crossbowmen at the enemy's rear were being gathered together. At this time, they had almost no shields.
The Jin army slowed down their offensive, obviously because they were sure of victory and did not want to cause too many casualties. Once the opponent's crossbowmen were in place, their own soldiers would be living targets, and in such an exposed blow and the inability to carry out an effective counterattack, Liang Ren It is difficult to guarantee that these soldiers can survive for half an hour.
The Jin army next to him looked at him with eager eyes, and the golden soldiers who formed a circle were trembling with fear. Maybe the distance from the Ninth Heaven to the Underworld was unknown, but Liang Ren could still feel the stimulation of the two heavens of ice and fire. It was clear that he was still in control of victory before a stick of incense. He looked like he was already praying for the opponent's crossbowman to arrive even a moment later after burning incense.
"Everyone, hold on! Zuo Sima is at the rear, and reinforcements will arrive soon! I've held everything in place, don't mess up!"
Liang Ren stood in the center of the circular formation and kept cheering up his soldiers. At this time, all his hopes were placed on the large army not far away.
The Jin soldiers felt a little relieved after hearing this, but the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, even if they were close, the enemy's encirclement was indeed getting smaller and smaller, and the Jin soldiers rushing up from all around surrounded them in circles. , Liang Ren no longer knows how many people there are in the Jin army. He only remembers what his captain and Sima said at the beginning about a rear group of more than a hundred people.
But are there more than a hundred people now?
Perhaps finally hearing Liang Ren's call, Yan Tao sent a team of infantry into the woods to explore ahead, and sent several teams of troops to investigate around.
Later, Guan Cheng was thankful for Yan Tao's confidence and experience countless times. If Yan Tao could dispatch all the troops at the first time, his journey would probably end next to this small forest not far from Zhili County. .
When Guan Cheng appeared on the front line, the cheers of the Jin army soldiers once again reached a new height. The flag bearer followed closely behind, holding the mountain, river, sun and moon flag in his hand, dancing fiercely in the wind.
Wang Ye even believed that the time had come for him to show off. He must seize any opportunity to show off his bravery in front of His Highness King Jin. He did not dare to expect a higher status than Wu Chengju. After all, he was an old man accompanying King Jin, but he wanted to Be the first person after Wu Chengju.
The crossbowman raised the crossbow in his hand, and without hesitation loosened the string and pulled the trigger. The arrows pierced into the circle, causing several screams of pain. Perhaps it was a trapped beast still fighting, but Wang Ye felt that a poor rat eating a cat was more appropriate.
Although the formation of the Jin soldiers was not neat and a bit chaotic, after three rounds of arrow rain, it became more compact and firm.
The general of the Jin Army hid in the formation and kept shouting and cheering to encourage his soldiers. However, after thinking that there was no way out, the ferocity in the hearts of the trapped Jin Army soldiers was aroused.
"Brothers, rush! Rush out, kill one to earn your base, kill two to earn one! Kill!" Liang Ren shouted the slogan at the right time, and rushed towards the Jin army on the opposite side.
Wang Ye was furious. This made it clear whether he was talking loudly at himself or in front of his own monarch, which would make him mess around in the future.
Wang Ye picked up a Chang Ge and rushed towards Liang Ren. The cherry blossoms on the armor were particularly conspicuous, which was the best sign.
The two sides soon collided with each other again, and in an instant there were sounds of rage and screams intertwined.
Guan Cheng was so excited that he couldn't help but draw his long sword and rushed into the battlefield surrounded by guards.
The nearby Jin soldiers knew at a glance that this was definitely a big shot. Whether it was the group of guards next to him or the armor that looked very flashy at first sight, it was enough to prove that the big fish in front of them was probably their capital to survive.
Liang Ren immediately wanted to rush forward desperately. He felt that although his skill could not take the general's head among thousands of troops, he could still make contributions among thousands of people.
But Wang Ye was obviously unwilling to give him this opportunity.
Just as Liang Ren was about to rush forward after getting rid of the enemy in front of him, he was startled. The hair all over his body suddenly exploded, and he didn't even bother to stay in a cold sweat. Liang Ren hurriedly relied on his instinct to fall to the right, staggering awkwardly. Take two steps back.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the enemy general, his eyes filled with anger.
Liang Ren naturally did not waste his words. At this time, any words in the situation were meaningless and Shabi's behavior and the weapons in his hands on the battlefield were the best sounds.
The two sides clashed with each other, causing little sparks. Wang Ye was shocked. This thief was so powerful. He looked like he was only a company commander but he had such strength. Liang Ren was also shocked, secretly thinking that he was a good opponent.
Come again!
