Mi Han

Chapter 795: The Third Exhaustion Kills All the Soldiers
There are more than ten thousand Shanyue soldiers, although they are not as elite as the Wu army.

But now their military morale is all following Mi Yang's lead.

When Mi Yang's order was issued, the tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers threw away their previous cowardly and undisciplined image, and under the command of generals at all levels, they quickly formed a battle array and pressed towards the Wu army.

When Lu Fan saw that Mi Yang did not retreat but advanced, he was even more delighted.

As if they were worried that Mi Yang would escape, the Shanyue soldiers moved, and the Wu army led by Lu Fan also moved.

Lu Fan’s pre-war analysis was not wrong. The morale of the Wu army, which had just recaptured the port, was at its highest.

The high morale was enough to make them temporarily forget their fear of Mi Yang.

The distance of several miles was not considered long when the two armies were rushing towards each other.

Soon after, the two armies collided on the land outside the port.

As soon as the two armies collided, the Wu army showed its elite strength.

Thousands of brave swordsmen and axemen turned into sharp blades like a suicide squad and continuously attacked the Han army's formation in the front.

To the Han army, those thousands of swordsmen and axemen seemed like a flood surging down from the Yangtze River.

The momentum of the attack was stronger and stronger, and each wave was more difficult to resist than the last.

Fortunately, Shamoke was eager to protect his master. Without having time to rest, he led the elite soldiers in the army to resist the fierce offensive of the Wu army at the front.

However brave one person may be, it is difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

Under the protection of his personal troops, Mi Yang looked at the shaky defense line in front of him, but there was no worry in his eyes.

He had already anticipated such a situation.

But if this situation was not intentionally led to, how could Lu Fan go ashore obediently?
Since this was already anticipated, Mi Yang must have a backup plan.

He glanced at Ding Feng beside him, and Ding Feng understood and left quickly.

Mi Yang could see that the Han army's defense line was crumbling, and naturally Lu Fan could see it as well.

Mi Yang felt neither sad nor happy about this situation, but Lu Fan could not.

The joy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed and it directly climbed onto Lu Fan's face.

Lu Fan's hand, which was holding the hilt of the sword, was shaking with excitement.

He was right in his prediction.

Even though the more than 10,000 Shanyue soldiers wanted to hold the line, and Shamoke was indeed brave enough to defeat ten thousand men.

But in infantry combat, the number of people is secondary, and the stability of the formation is the top priority.

In order to form a stable formation, the soldiers must be well-trained.

Are those the tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers?

War has never been fought on passion alone.

Seeing that the balance of victory was tilting towards his side, Lu Fan could no longer care about anything else.

"The whole army is pressing forward!"

With the long sword raised high in his hand, Lu Fan let out this roar on the land of Chaisang.

Since the 24th year of Jian'an, whenever the Wu army heard the name of Mi Yang, they were all terrified.

One man's name shook the entire country, and Lu Fan had endured this shame that would go down in history for several years.

Today, he seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He vowed to avenge himself.

The Wu army seemed to hear the resentment in Lu Fan's roar.

Infected by Lu Fan's resentment, the morale of more than 20,000 Wu troops was boosted again.

At this moment, they no longer cared about the way back, nor did they care who was in front of them.

They now have only one goal - to defeat the enemy and capture Mi Yang alive!

When more than 20,000 Wu troops arrived, the defense line of the Shanyue soldiers, who were inferior in numbers and elite, became shaky.

Anyone can see that if this continues, the Wu army will win today's battle in less than half an hour.

However, just when the Wu army was full of confidence, a drum sound suddenly appeared behind the two armies.

The sound of drums attracted Lu Fan's attention.

When Lu Fan looked over, he discovered that a group of Shanyue soldiers appeared behind the Han army.

The number of Shanyue soldiers was roughly around three thousand.

After arriving at the battlefield, the three thousand Shanyue soldiers attacked the Wu army's formation from the flank.

This sudden change on the battlefield was beyond Lu Fan's expectations.

But Lu Fan was not too worried.

What’s the use of having three thousand poorly trained Shanyue soldiers join the battlefield?
Just as Lu Fan guessed, the 3,000 Shanyue soldiers who rushed towards the flank were blocked by a rain of arrows from Wu army's archers before they could officially attack the Wu army's formation.

The appearance of these three thousand Shanyue soldiers could at most delay the defeat of the Han army.

Just when Lu Fan was certain of this, he discovered that another group of several thousand Shanyue soldiers appeared from the other side of the two armies and charged towards the Wu army.

Soon the other side of the Wu army also faced attack from the Han army.

Fortunately, the Wu army was well-trained and had high morale. They responded quickly and blocked the attack of the Han army.

After successively blocking Mi Yang's two surprise troops, many Wu generals showed joy on their faces.

Even if Mi Yang has made all the plans, any strategy needs to rely on hard power.

The Wu army had a strict formation, and this alone made it impossible to defeat them even with a large number of scattered special forces.

Just because ordinary Wu generals were relieved doesn’t mean that Lu Fan would feel the same way.

Lu Fan, who had a keen sense of smell, suddenly discovered that the timing of the appearance of the two Han troops was very suspicious.

They all appeared when the Wu army was about to make a concerted effort to completely defeat the more than 10,000 Han troops in front of them.

Attacking with all their might is the best attacking state for every army.

But Lu Fan will never forget where the phrase "yi gu zuo qi" came from:
"Warfare is about courage. The first time you are vigorous, the second time you are weak, the third time you are exhausted."

Then it will be exhausted again!

The appearance of those two Han armies could not pose much danger to his army.

But it successfully curbed the morale of the Wu army, which had reached its peak!
As the saying goes, everything goes uphill.

At present, the morale of the Wu army remains high, but the two failures have caused their morale to decline.

Although the downward trend was not obvious, Lu Fan gradually realized that something was wrong.

Just when Lu Fan was doubting this, another Han army of several thousand people rushed out from hiding and attacked the Wu army.

In the subsequent process, the Han army's ambushes continued to attack.

The number of Han army ambushes was not large, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, but the Wu army would not care about one or two of them. Once the number increased, the Wu army would inevitably become irritated.

Many Han army ambushes were like flies smelling blood, hovering around the area, causing great annoyance to the Wu army, forcing them to passively defend.

The more than 20,000 Wu troops only wanted to win with one strike and never thought of fighting a protracted war with the Han army.

At this moment, how could the more than 20,000 Wu soldiers still have any desire to attack?
When this situation occurred, the morale of Wu's army was quietly and gradually turning towards decline.

If that were the case, Lu Fan wouldn't be too worried.

After all, the hard power is there. The fly can only disturb the elephant's mind but can never cause fatal harm to the elephant.

But as more Han troops ambushed them, Lu Fan immediately realized something.

Although the number of ambushes in each Han army was not large, they added up to tens of thousands.

Mi Yang only had so many troops under his command. After leaving a large part of them to guard Chaisang, how could he have so many ambushes?
unless!

The next moment, Lu Fan realized a fact that shocked him.

Unless Mi Yang secretly deployed all the troops guarding Chaisang outside this port in advance!

But how is this possible?

Doesn't Mi Yang worry about being attacked from both sides? Besides, how can Mi Yang predict the future?

Why did Mi Yang do this?
A series of suspicious thoughts made Lu Fan open his eyes wide, and he stared at Mi Yang who was a hundred steps away like a copper bell.

Little did he know that Mi Yang had also been observing Lu Fan.

From the change in Lu Fan's expression, Mi Yang knew that Lu Fan had probably guessed something.

But.

You realized it too late.

Facing Lu Fan's doubtful gaze, Mi Yang, sitting high on his horse, slowly drew out the Shen Du sword from his waist.

Today's Shen Du Sword is somewhat different from before.

At the end of the Shen Du sword, a piece of bright red silk was tied.

Red means crimson.

When that touch of red attracted the attention of many Wu soldiers, they were shocked!
In the Wu army's formation, some of them immediately tore off the coverings on their arms after seeing the red silk.

When the obstruction disappears, it will be discovered that each of the Wu soldiers has a piece of bright red silk tied around their left arms.

And when this step was completed, the Wu soldiers went crazy and suddenly drew their swords and slashed at their "comrades" around them.

Caught off guard, many of the Wu soldiers who were advancing were beheaded and died tragically on the spot before they could even utter a single cry!
Bright red continued to appear in the Wu army's originally strict formation.

But at this moment, that touch of bright red represents the hot blood.

This sudden change caused panic among many Wu soldiers almost instantly.

Who could have thought that within his own formation, behind him, his comrades would suddenly attack him?
But before the many Wu soldiers could react, even greater killing occurred in their formation.

Because the attack happened so suddenly, many Wu soldiers had not yet realized that the people with red silk tied to their hands were the ones who attacked them.

In order to save their own lives, most of the Wu army could only choose the safest way in desperation.

Indiscriminate attack!
Apart from yourself, everyone standing before you is an enemy.

When this idea appeared in the minds of many Wu soldiers, a tragic and bloody internal strife became inevitable.

The Wu soldiers no longer thought about attacking the Han army in front of them.

They turned around and swung their weapons at their comrades beside and behind them.

No matter how deep their feelings for that comrade were in the past.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to do this in order to survive.

Many Wu soldiers who were slower to react died for no reason at the hands of their own comrades.

As more and more Wu soldiers died, the infighting within the Wu army was spreading at an uncontrollable speed.

The Wu army's strict formation completely collapsed at this moment!

When infantry engages in combat, formation is of primary importance.

Now that the Wu army's formation has collapsed, how could the Han army miss this God-given opportunity?

Mi Yang lowered the tip of his sword and pointed it forward, issuing a cold command:

"Those who use weapons will be killed!"
