Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 80 Xiaozhan follows the golden drum, Xiaomian holds the jade saddle ([-])
Shao Shude and Zhuge Shuang boarded the high platform together.

According to the system, the coach must live in a place where he can climb up and look into the distance, set up twelve drums and twelve horns on the left and right, and set up five-color flags, which are divided into left and right.

As the supreme commander of this battle, Zhuge Shuang took to this temporary high platform as a matter of course.The same is true for Zhu Wen on the opposite side.

Tang Jun formed a phalanx.At the front, there were twelve teams of battle fronts, a row of 600 people, a total of three rows.The positions between the battle fronts are loose so that the four teams of archers can intersperse at any time and shoot the enemy forward.

Behind the front of the battle is a dense cavalry phalanx. There are seven infantry phalanxes and six small cavalry phalanxes dominated by rangers. The cavalry is sandwiched in the middle of the cavalry. There are more than [-] infantry in this wave. , Six hundred cavalry.

The above is the former army.

The former army was from Yizhao, Hedong.He was naturally unconvinced, but to be honest, according to the rules of the warriors, you can make trouble before the war, but once the formation is set up to meet the enemy, if you make trouble again, your own people will look down on you, because that will kill everyone.

Behind the front army is the Chinese army.

In the main formation of the Chinese army, there are only 800 cavalry soldiers of the Tielin Army at the front, and on the right side is a group of Shatuo cavalry from Daibei, about [-] people, very scattered.In the middle and on the left is the brigade of thick infantry, all of which are soldiers of the Iron Forest Army, divided into several small square formations, with an interval of [-] steps between the formations, together with Zhuge Shuang's [-] personal soldiers, as the whole army The core lies.

The left and right flanks of the central army were almost all large formations of infantry. Except for the three or four hundred cavalry roaming around at any time, there was an endless spear jungle as far as the eye could see.These people are also the Hedong Army, led by Zhu Mei, the governor of Daizhou.

The three parts of the Chinese army, left, middle, and right, add up to a total of more than [-] soldiers. They are all soldiers. They have exceeded the sum of all the resources of the soldiers that Zhu Wen can call on, and they are powerful.

The rear army consists mostly of supplies and auxiliary soldiers, and there are thousands of cavalry, a total of 4000 people.

In other words, Zhuge Shuang dispatched a total of about 7000 people, exactly twice as many as Zhu Wen, which seemed to be overwhelming.However, the art of war is like this. The way to victory is to defeat the few with the many, defeat the weak with the strong, and defeat the new with the old. In this way, you can be invincible.

The war drum rang loudly.

The battle fronts and crossbowmen of the nest army were dispatched first, and hundreds of people formed a tight formation and stepped forward.

Behind them, Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen, Xu Tang and others stepped forward.From a height, it looks like a large group of ants creeping slowly.

Behind, Zhu Wen's main formation is also moving.The war horse neighed and the iron armor was sonorous, and it seemed that he had enough confidence to meet Tang Jun.

After three or four minutes, the selected front led by Ding Huisuo finally rushed forward after three or four rounds of arrows from the front, and fought hand-to-hand.

Knives and guns intersect, and flesh and blood fly.

Shao Shude watched carefully on the high platform, but saw that a pine walking formation that He Dongjun fought against was directly dented.The spearmen, swordsmen, and axemen at the back, left and right were in a moment of confusion. Zhu Wen's carefully selected battle fronts were indeed brave and knowledgeable. Seeing this, they fought desperately forward, trying to widen the gap and give More than a thousand heavy-armored spearmen from Zhu Zhen's department, who were striding forward, created opportunities.

"Those who dare to retreat, stand and cut!" A cavalry general with dozens of people rushed from the gap between the formations, grabbed two or three foot soldiers who subconsciously retreated, raised the knife, and threw the big head. on the ground.

The sergeants were intimidated by it, and could only bite the bullet and resist this fierce god.More than a thousand people on both sides fought desperately, one after another screamed and fell down. In the end, the remaining Hedong soldiers finally dispersed and fled from both sides along the gap between the formations.However, Chao's army's selection of fronts did not fail well, and a wave of arrows rained in the back, sweeping the large group of blood-soaked fronts to the ground.

More than a thousand people from Zhu Zhen's team quickly arrived, trying to rush in along the gap.The Hedong Army in the rear quickly made up for it, spear to spear, knife to knife, another tragic fight.

"Sergeant Jinyang is still working hard." On the high platform, Zhuge Shuang finally showed a smile.

These waves of rushing ahead should be the elites of the nest army.As long as you resist the three-axes at the beginning, the enemy's spirit will almost be exhausted.At that time, the entire army will be overwhelmed, and Zhu Wen will be defeated even if he is not defeated.However, the Jinyang soldiers led by Yi Zhao should have suffered a lot.In just such a short time, almost hundreds of people lay down. The injured are not counted, and it should be enough for him to feel distressed.

Sending the thorns to the front turned out to be the secret of Zhuge Commander.

******
Zhu Wen looked solemnly at the former army warrior who only had dozens of people fled back in embarrassment.

They had done their best, and even he himself felt that there was nothing he could criticize too much, and he was really brave to serve food and drink in vain on weekdays.

Zhu Zhen's iron armored spearmen once seized the opportunity to break in, killing the opposite Hedong sergeant in chaos and blood on the ground.However, the enemy's large formation was too thick. It collapsed for a while, and immediately rose to the top again, slowly grinding away the blood of Zhu Zhen's soldiers.

Hu Zhen and Xu Tang used cavalry to try to cooperate, but they were blocked by the archers of the Tang army's great formation, and their cavalry was also being mobilized, and finally they were forced to retreat.

Why can't you rush?It seems that we still have to work harder!
At this moment, Yi Zhao was gnashing his teeth and looking at the command flag of the Central Army behind him.

This is to consume Lao Tzu as a dead ghost!

The pro-generals were around, all of them looked ugly.The three axes of the nest army killed them almost unable to stand, and suffered heavy casualties.Two small formations have been defeated in a row, with more than a thousand casualties. If you continue to fight like this, even if you resist the offensive of the nest army, after the enemy army is repelled, it is estimated that there will not be many people left.

Zhuge Shuang, an old man, was born in Pang Xun's chaotic army with Zhu Mei, so he was divided into the middle army and the rear army.Shao Shude's Tie Lin army stood around Zhuge Shuang, almost watching a play.

This battle, but also a fart!
Yi Zhao and the left and right looked at each other, and both saw the anxiety in the other's eyes.In troubled times, how can one's own capital be consumed so freely?
A large formation in front of them finally exhausted the last bit of morale. Hundreds of people slid back along the gap, and even the surrounding formations that had not yet engaged in battle were a little bit in an uproar.

Yi Zhao hesitated for a moment. At this time, if he brought hundreds of personal soldiers to the top, he would still have time to block the gap, and even push back the exhausted Chao army.But how many people will be killed and injured?They are all personal soldiers who have followed him for many years, how can they be consumed so freely?
"General, let's go! Old man Zhuge Shuang doesn't treat us as human beings, and 600 people have been killed or injured. If the fight continues, how many more people will die?" A general grabbed Yi Zhao's horse and was about to charge forward. , said loudly.

The surrounding soldiers looked at Yi Zhao, and if he wanted to fight, they would follow him.If he wanted to leave, he would walk along the corridor between the former army and the central army to avoid the outside.

Yi Zhao was hesitant, and the pro-general looked at the others, waved the horse's head directly, and then hugged him and retreated.Yi Zhao subconsciously glanced at the high platform of the Central Army, but saw that Zhuge Shuang was still standing there, but Shao Shude had disappeared.

The movement of the flag of the former army generals directly caused a loud uproar in the front army foot formations that had not yet engaged on the left and right flanks.Just as Hu Zhen and Xu Tang arrived, the right wing was okay, the warriors still had professional ethics, and they fought desperately, and the left wing collapsed directly. The infantry pushed forward and the cavalry flanked, also in chaos.

Yi Zhao let out a long sigh, that was his own army, and it turned out to be like this. It was all to blame for that old man Zhuge Shuang!
There was a rumbling sound of hooves, and before Yi Zhao had recovered, he heard the screams of the personal soldiers beside him.Looking closely, it was the six hundred cavalry of the Tielin Army who rushed up and cut off their group.

"Shao Shude, you're a running dog with a few surnames, you dare to deceive me!" Yi Zhao's eyes were about to split, and at the same time his soul flew out of the sky. This fellow Shao Shude has murderous intentions.
However, the cavalry of Tielin's army did not stop to chase and kill them, but continued to charge forward, taking advantage of the chance that the hundreds of people under Zhu Zhen's army were not in an orderly formation, they directly broke into the formation.The several-meter-long horse lance easily pierced the chests of dozens of people, and then drew out a horizontal knife and axe, and slashed and killed by the rush of the war horse.

The Shatuo cavalry brought by Zhu Mei also moved, bypassed from the other side like a torrent, and went straight to the cavalry of Zhu Wen's middle army who were charging. The two sides launched a large-scale cavalry battle in the middle of the battlefield. The rain was pouring, and the stumps were flying.

The infantry of the Iron Forest Army began to move forward, three small phalanxes with a total of 500 people, holding long spears in front, and walked forward slowly.Yi Zhao's soldiers were blocked in front and back, and they rode blankly on the horses, and then they were stabbed down one by one by the long spear, screaming again and again.

Yi Zhao was furious and panicked at the same time.He was about to flee to whom he brought the infantry phalanx, but a feather arrow flew and shot him down the horse.

"Fleeing without a fight is a death penalty!" Shao Shude put down his bow and shouted, "Beheaded!"

Yi Zhao staggered to his feet and was instantly stabbed by seven or eight long lances, piercing through his armor and deep into his heart.Shao Shude looked from a distance, but saw that Yi Zhao's body was like a funnel, with blood gushing out constantly, but his body was held up by a long lance, and he couldn't fall down for a while, as if he was being shown there.
