The Shu army is unbearable to fight, and it is undoubtedly a mantis arm to be a chariot if he wants to block my edge!Speed up the march, quickly defeat the mobs, and eliminate the obstacles to Dangtu City.Lin Renzhao recalled the general.
It was already bright and the sky was gray and the sun was gone. It was a cloudy day, and there was still mist on the ground and the vision was not very clear.
When Lin Renzhao looked back, he saw a dense army of black soldiers and horses on the two roads following him, forming a marching raid.
And directly ahead, many raccoons are moving on the flat fields.
A general clasped his fists and said: The last one will immediately urge each unit.
Not long after, I suddenly heard someone shouting in front of me: Shu army formation!
Lin Renzhao calmly reached out and wiped his round head, put on his helmet, and rode his horse over the front horse team.Looking out, I saw a large area of soldiers and horses in the distance, with flags like clouds and a large number of people.
The crowd took the lead in riding forward. After getting closer, Lin Renzhao looked closely for a moment and felt that it was not very wonderful.
At this time, the generals around him also spoke: The clothes and armor are complete and the queues are purged, and it seems that they are not a mob...
Lin Renzhao also saw that this is how it is estimated before the war.
He didn't say anything and observed it again.
There are many shadows on the left, and that mountain is Dahuang Mountain; and behind the Shu army opposite, there should be a lake... Lin Renzhao had sent scouts to carefully investigate the terrain and military situation of this generation.
The Shu army formation opposite is backed by the lake and surrounded by mountains. The entire area of people and horses is in a square shape. This situation is a defensive formation.
However, the formation is very strange. It looks like the Six Flower Formation. However, judging by the density of each angle, it seems that there are more than six angles (protruding parts like petals of a flower), but eight... so it looks like the Eight Formation Diagram.
At this moment, the general asked: Mr. Lin, is it still deploying the fish scale array as previously decided?
Lin Renzhao was a little hesitant for a moment.
The army ahead seems a bit difficult to crack. Will there be any danger if it cannot be decided quickly?
He calmed down and thought about it again. The main force of the Zhou army stationed Caishi. Under the threat of more than 40,000 Huangfu Jixun, he might fight at any time. He might not be able to pull over to threaten himself for a while; let alone the Zhou army was more than 20 miles away from this place!
Although this Shu soldiers line up, they are still Shu soldiers.Can these people be captured from Shu Kingdom really fight a tough battle?
While thinking, the army vanguard had already come over, and the platoon came to ask again.Lin Renzhao made a quick decision and said: Arrange the formation according to the original strategy!
People came and went around at the foot of the mountain, and the people who arrived at the battlefield began to form a square array and arrange the fish scale array under the arrangement of the generals.
The direction of the Southern Tang Army camp was arranged in the northwest to avoid the mountains on the left wing and increase the attack surface.
It took a long time before the people who came one after another to be deployed to the arranged position.The Southern Tang army became an attacking force, with prominent in the middle and staggered echelons behind, with heavy troops gathering in front, and the tactics were very simple: break through in the middle!
At this moment, I suddenly saw the Shu army formation moving, and the entire octagon began to rotate slowly.
Lin Renzhao rode his horse to the front to watch, figuring out the intentions of the Shu army. Later, he saw the Shu army turn a corner with exquisite armor to the front, and Lin Renzhao finally understood.
The opponent's general should have also seen that the Southern Tang Army deployed the fish scale formation and understood that the sharpness of this formation was in the middle, so he put the most elite team on the front.
From a distance, the infantry was covered with a lot of armor, and the armor was shining, a bit like the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty.
In short, the best armor should be the elite soldiers.
This formation can rotate in the inner circle, and Lin Renzhao's attacking personnel are on the outer circle, and they cannot avoid the opponent's elite.He did not change his tactics and ordered the Southern Tang Army formation to approach the enemy camp together.
Soon, the long-range crossbowmen in front began to shoot arrows to each other.
Lin Renzhao then left the front army, returned to the back of the drummer in the middle, and ordered the middle horse team to go out; then he climbed onto a large cart that built an elevated road.
After seeing the Southern Tang army and horses dispatched, the Shu army archers were already retreating and returned to the formation from the empty space between the horns.
The Southern Tang army used horse soldiers to open the way, and the main force approached.The heavy troops of the central protruding troops attacked a corner of the Shu army, and the sound of killing on the battlefield was shocking.
Lin Renzhao was in the central army and war started in front of him, so the army stopped advancing and waited for the central headquarters to break through the enemy camp.But there was no progress after a long time, and the entire army could not make any progress.
A cavalry ran back to the central army and knelt on one knee and said: "Master Lin, the vanguard cannot break through the enemy camp, and many casualties!"
Lin Renzhao could see a rough situation in the central army. His vanguard had heavy troops, with a number of troops far exceeding one of the octagonals of the Shu army, and his vanguards also had cavalry.
The Southern Tang army rushed very fiercely, and there was no sign of timid battle, but many people were killed and injured but could not defeat the people.
The situation was completely beyond Lin Renzhao's expectations. He didn't expect the Shu army to fight so well. He felt a little panicked and shouted: The personal soldiers are on the horse, I'll go forward and take a look!
The general hurriedly dissuaded: The war has begun, and the commander left the central army. If something goes wrong, the entire army will be unfavorable.
Lin Renzhao then endured it and said: Order the second formation of the right wing to move from the wing!
Get order!A general shouted and turned his back onto his horse.
The fish scale formation launched by Lin Renzhao was in the middle, intending to concentrate troops and break through the enemy camp from the center; now it is not a clever plan to divide troops to attack another place, because dispersing troops cannot put concentrated pressure on one place... However, Lin Renzhao made a temporary judgment that he believed that the failure to progress ahead was because of a small number of elite troops in the Shu army, so he made such an order.
The Southern Tang army's horse soldiers first, and the infantry followed, attacked another corner of the Shu army from the right wing.
Looking from the elevated chariot, you can see a group of horse soldiers shooting arrows near the enemy's formation. The opponent's formation was firmly equipped with dense spearmen in front, and the Southern Tang cavalry did not dare to attack head-on.
The bows in the middle of the Shu army camp were shot together in batches, and the Southern Tang army lost more. The people had some armor, but the horses did not have armor, which caused the loss of horses and cavalry to keep falling off their horses.
The center of the opposite octagonal formation was hollow, and the Shu army placed the horse soldiers in hollow, and at this time a horse army had quickly reinforced to the right wing.
Dangdangdang... There was a vague sound of bronze ware, and the Southern Tang army's horse soldiers retreated, rectifying the troops in the open space on the right, waiting for the infantry to catch up.
After a while, the right-wing infantry stepped forward and gradually approached a corner of the Shu army. The two sides soon met in close contact, and the shouts became even louder. The people and horses were stabbing densely in the place they were in contact, and the bows and arrows behind were still shooting each other, which was very tragic on the battlefield.
But the Shu army did not collapse for a long time!
Lin Renzhao was so nervous that he asked: Who is the leader of the Shu army?
The general replied: The scout caught this morning confessed that he was named Gao Yanqi, a surrendered general of Shu Kingdom.
Lin Renzhao frowned and said: Why did Gao Yanfu fight so hard for the people of Zhou?Damn, being a dog is so loyal!
When he scolded, he forgot that he was also a surrendered general of the State of Min and was also working hard for the Southern Tang Dynasty!However, Lin Renzhao's idea was that southern countries should have joined forces to resist the Central Plains long ago.
He finally couldn't bear it and led his army to rush to the right wing himself, shouting: Follow me to defeat the Shu army camp!
At this moment, someone suddenly caught up and shouted: No!
Why panic?Lin Renzhao turned his head unhappily.
The man pointed to the right and shouted: Marshal Lin, look!They are all horse teams, are they Zhou soldiers?
Only then did Lin Renzhao notice the end of the western wilderness, and indeed saw groups of horse soldiers running out of the sparse woods!
The distance was too far, and the other party had no flag, so it was impossible to see whose troops it was... But Lin Renzhao's heart was already cold, and it was almost certain that it was an enemy soldier!
As the soldiers who reminded him said, the most cavalry was the Central Plains army; and who else came here except Lin Renzhao's men?
At least he should tell him who wants to come.
Lin Renzhao was stunned. Even though he was confident and proficient in combat formations and military tactics, he was helpless at this time and was stunned.
Where did grandma get out of the enemy soldiers?Didn’t it be agreed that Huangfu Jixun will attack Caishi today, and that more than 40,000 attacks can still free up the Zhou army?
At this moment, a cavalry rushed back and ran towards Lin Renzhao's banner. Before he could dismount, he shouted: Zhou army!Here comes!
Mr. Lin, what should I do?The general asked urgently.
what to do?
Lin Renzhao also wanted to ask... Damn, why did I expect that a horse soldier would suddenly come out from nowhere?
Now this fish scale formation has heavy troops gathered in front. It is an offensive formation with very weak rear flanks. Can it block a large number of cavalry assaults?
……
Gao Yanqi was also not in the central army, he supervised the battle on the west (right wing of the Southern Tang Army).
The front of the troops are the most elite troops of the entire Jiannan Army, and are equipped with excellent plate armor allocated by Guo Shao, with extremely high defense; after obtaining the corners on both sides and the central army's reinforcements, the front is very stable.
But the west side was a little unable to withstand the attack. Most of the soldiers of the Jiannan Army were selected from the Shu imperial guards. They had not fought fiercely for many years, and they surrendered without fighting when the Chengdu Prefecture fell... There were fewer blood when they saw it, and if they died a little more, they would collapse.
Gao Yanqi personally led the cavalry to sit behind the battle formation. Several of the people who wanted to run were killed by the formation. The others were scared and did not dare to escape easily.Another central cavalry continued to reinforce, and then he could barely withstand it!
But it's hard to say how long it can last.Gao Yanqi was eager to establish his position in the Zhou court. He would rather die than be defeated, but the soldiers below were not as eager as him.
But even if you collapse a corner, you may still be able to last for a while, after all, the gap between the eight formations is relatively small.
This is also the consideration that Gao Yanqi does not need the Six Flower Formation and arranges eight formations.
The more angular horns, the smaller the gap will fall if there is a collapse.
He did not use the Eight Formation Diagram, but maybe it could be called the Eight Formation... The Eight Formation Diagram used by Zhuge Liang was too complicated, and most people in later generations did not use it, so they developed a more simplified Six Formation.
Gao Yanqi was also anxious. Lin Renzhao was indeed not worthy of being a false reputation. If he continued to fight like this, Gao Yanqi felt that the prospect was worrying.
At this moment, I finally heard the cheers of generals and reinforcements coming!
Gao Yanqi ignored his appearance and stood up on the horse's back while stepping on the stirrup to watch, looking at him with joy on his face.
Guo Shao came too timely. Shipo Mountain was near Caishi, more than 20 miles away, and he arrived so quickly.
It was already bright and the sky was gray and the sun was gone. It was a cloudy day, and there was still mist on the ground and the vision was not very clear.
When Lin Renzhao looked back, he saw a dense army of black soldiers and horses on the two roads following him, forming a marching raid.
