"The Shu army is unbearable for war. I want to block my edge and undoubtedly become a car! Speed ​​up the march, quickly defeat the mobs, and remove the obstacles to Dangtu City. *,," Lin Renzhao recalled.

The sky is already bright, the sky is gray and the sun is not visible. It is a cloudy day, there is still mist on the ground, and the line of sight is not very clear. When Lin Renzhao looked back, he saw the crowds of black and heavy soldiers on two roads following them, marching horizontally and horizontally. Directly ahead, many riders are active on the flat field.

A member of the generals clasped their fists and said: "The final general immediately urges the ministries."

Not long after, suddenly a person in front of me shouted: "Shu Army Great Formation!"

Lin Renzhao calmly reached out and wiped a round head, put on his helmet, and rode his horse over the front team. Looking very hard, I saw a large number of soldiers and horses in the distance, with flags like clouds, and crowds of people and horses.

A group of people took the lead in riding the horse forward, and after getting closer, Lin Renzhao watched for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was not too good. At this time, the generals around him also opened his mouth and said: "The armor of the view is complete, the queue is neat, it seems that it is not a mob..."

Lin Renzhao also noticed that before the battle, he estimated the enemy's combat power.

He didn't say a word, and watched again. The mountain on the left is full of shadows, and that mountain is Dahuang Mountain; and behind the location of the Shu army on the opposite side, there should be a lake...Lin Renzhao had earlier sent scouts to carefully investigate the terrain and military situation of this generation.

The Shu army formation on the opposite side is backed by the lake and next to the mountains. The whole group of people and horses form a square circle. This situation is a defensive formation. However, the formation is very strange, it looks like a "six-flower formation", but judging by the density of the corners, it seems that there are not only six corners (protrusions like the petals of the same flower), but eight... It's like the "Eight Array" again.

At this moment, the minister asked: "Duke Lin, do you still follow the previously decided fish scale formation?"

Lin Renzhao hesitated for a while. The army in front seems a bit difficult to gnaw. Is there any danger in not being able to make a quick decision? He sank his heart and thought again. The Zhou army focused on quarrying rocks. Under the threat of more than 40,000 people from Huangfu Jixun, there might be battles at any time. For a while, he might not be able to pull his hands to threaten him; More than twenty miles here!

Although this group of Shu soldiers has a clean lineup, they are still Shu soldiers. This group of people was arrested from Shu, can they really fight a tough battle?

During thought, the army forward had already come, and the formation enquired again. Lin Renzhao decisively said: "According to the original plan!"

People come and go at the foot of the mountain, and the people who arrive at the battlefield begin to form a square formation under the arrangement of the generals, arranging a fish-scale formation. 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.

After a long time, the people who came one after another were deployed to the arranged position. The southern Tang army is attacking, protruding in the middle, with a staggered echelon in the back, and heavy troops in the front. The tactics are very simple: breakthrough in the middle!

At this moment, suddenly there was movement in the Shu army formation, and the entire octagon began to rotate slowly. Lin Renzhao rode his horse forward to watch and figured out the intentions of the Shu army. Later, when he saw that the Shu army turned a well-armed corner to the front, Lin Renzhao finally understood.

The opposing military commander should have seen the Southern Tang Army deploy the fish scale formation and understand that the edge of this formation is in the middle, so he put the most elite team on the front. From a distance, the infantry was heavily armored, and the armor was flooded, a bit like the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty. In short, the best armor should be elite soldiers.

This formation can rotate in the inner periphery, and Lin Renzhao's attackers are on the outer periphery, unable to avoid the opponent's elite. He did not change his tactics, and ordered the Southern Tang Army to approach the enemy camp together.

In a short while, the long-range bow|crossbowmen in front began to throw arrows at each other. Lin Renzhao then left the front army, returned to the drum trumpeter in the middle, and ordered the middle road horse team to dispatch; then he climbed onto an elevated cart. Seeing that the Southern Tang Army and Horse Team was dispatched, the Shu Archers were already retreating, returning from the emptiness between the corners of the formation.

The Southern Tang Army opened its way with horse soldiers, and the main force approached forward. The central protruding force hit a corner of the Shu army, and the battlefield shook the sky.

Lin Renzhao was in the Chinese army, and the battle started, the army stopped advancing, waiting for the central department to break through the enemy camp. However, there is still no progress for a long time, and the whole army cannot make half a step forward.

Yiqi rushed back to the army and knelt down on one knee and said: "Thanks to Marshal Lin, the forward can't break through the enemy camp. There are many casualties!"

Lin Renzhao can see a general situation in the Chinese army. His own forward is heavily armed, and the number is far more than one of the octagonal men of the Shu army, and he also has cavalry. The Southern Tang Army rushed fiercely, and there was no sign of cowardice, but many people were killed and injured, and they couldn't beat that group of people.

The situation was completely beyond Lin Renzhao's expectations. He didn't expect the Shu army to be able to fight so much, so he was a little panicked at the moment, and shouted: "The personal team gets on the horse, I'll step forward and take a look!"

The general hurriedly dissuaded: "The war has started, and the coach leaves the Chinese army. If something goes wrong, the whole army will be disadvantaged."

Lin Renzhao endured this, and said: "Order the right wing for the second wing to move from the flank!"

"Oh!" One of the generals shouted and turned on his horse.

Lin Renzhao’s fish-scale formation, with the elite and heavy soldiers in the middle, is intended to concentrate troops to break through the enemy camp from the center; now it is not a clever plan to divide the troops to attack another place, because the scattered forces cannot cause concentrated pressure on one place... But Lin Renzhao temporarily Judging that the inability to advance forward was due to a small number of elite Shu troops, this order was issued.

The horsemen of the Southern Tang Army went first, and the infantry then attacked another "horn" of the Shu army from the right wing. Watching from the elevated carriage, one could see a group of horsemen shooting arrows near the enemy's position. The opponent's queue was firmly in front of the dense spearmen, and the Southern Tang cavalry did not dare to attack directly. In the Shu barracks, the bows were thrown in batches, and the Southern Tang Army and horse team lost more. There were many people with armor, but no horses, resulting in the loss of war horses and cavalry.

The center of the "octagonal formation" on the opposite side is hollow, and the Shu army placed the horse soldiers in the hollow. At this time, a horse army has quickly reinforced the right wing. "Dangdangdang..." There was a faint sound of bronze, and the horsemen of the Southern Tang Army retreated, rectifying the soldiers and horses 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 the "corner" of the Shu army. The two sides quickly met each other, and the shouting became more noisy. The people and horses stabbed in the place where they contacted, and the bows and arrows behind were still throwing each other. The battlefield It was very tragic. But the Shu army queue did not collapse for a long time!

Lin Renzhao was flustered when he saw it, and then asked: "Who is the chief of the Shu army?"

The general replied: "The scout who caught this morning confessed. The name is Gao Yanjian, the general of Shu."

Lin Renzhao frowned and said, "That Gao Yanjian, why did he work so hard for the people of Zhou? Mother|, so loyal to being a dog!"

When he scolded, he forgot that he was also the descendant general of Fujian, and he worked hard for the Southern Tang! However, Lin Renzhao's idea is that the countries of the South should have united against the Central Plains long ago.

He finally couldn't bear it, and led his army to the right wing himself, shouting: "Follow me to destroy the Shu camp!"

At this moment, someone hurried up to catch up and shouted: "It's not good!"

"What's the panic?" Lin Renzhao turned his head very unhappy.

The man pointed to the right and shouted: "Dashuai Lin, look! It's all horse teams, are they Zhou soldiers and horses?"

Lin Renzhao only noticed the end of the western wilderness, and she saw a group of horsemen running out of the sparse woods! The distance is too far, the opponent doesn't have a banner, and I can't see who it is... But Lin Renzhao's heart is cold, almost certainly the enemy soldier! As the soldiers who reminded him said, the most cavalry is the Central Plains army; and in addition to Lin Renzhao's men and horses in the Southern Tang Army, who else will come here? Whoever wants to come should at least tell him.

Lin Renzhao was stunned there, but because he was confident that he was proficient in the art of war, he was helpless at this time and stayed.

Milk|Milk| Where did the enemy come out from? Isn’t it an appointment that Huangfu Jixun will attack the quarry today, and his more than 40,000 people will attack such an important place, so that Zhou Jun can be freed?

At this moment, I galloped back and ran towards Lin Renzhao's banner. Before he could dismount, he shouted: "The army of the State of Zhou! Here comes!"

"Dong Lin, what should I do?" the Ministry will ask urgently.

What to do? Lin Renzhao also wanted to ask...Mother, how could Lao Tzu expect to be abruptly and never know where to bring out a horse soldier? Now this fish-scale formation, with heavy troops gathered in the front, was originally an offensive formation. The rear flanks are very weak and can it withstand a large group of cavalry assaults?

……

Gao Yanjian is also not in the Chinese Army, he is supervising the battle in the west (the right wing of the Southern Tang Army). The front-facing men and horses are the most elite force of the entire Jiannan Army, and they are equipped with sophisticated plate armor deployed by Guo Shao, with extremely high defensive power; the front line is very stable after the "horns" on both sides and the reinforcements of the Chinese army. But the west side is a bit unable to withstand the offensive. Most of the Jiannan Army generals are selected from the Shu Imperial Army. They have not fought for many years. When the Chengdu Mansion fell, they did not surrender directly... Will collapse.

Gao Yanjian led the cavalry to sit behind the battlefield. Those who wanted to run were cut off by the battlefield. The others were frightened and did not dare to escape easily. There was a steady stream of reinforcements from the center cavalry, which barely withstood it!

But it's hard to say how long it will last. Gao Yanjian was anxious to establish his position in the Zhou court. He himself would rather die than defeat, but the soldiers below were not as eager as he was.

But even if a corner is broken, it may be able to stand for a while, after all, the gap between the eight formations is relatively small. This is also Gao Yanjian's consideration for arranging eight formations instead of Liuhua formation. The more angles there are, the smaller the gap in a place. He didn't use the eight-array map, maybe it could be called the "eight-flower array"... Zhuge Liang used the eight-array map to change too complicated, and most people in later generations would not use it, so he developed a more simplified six-flower array.

Gao Yanjian is also anxious. Lin Renzhao is indeed a vain name. If he continues to fight like this, Gao Yanjian feels that the prospects are worrying.

At this moment, I finally heard the generals cheering and reinforcements came!

In spite of his appearance, Gao Yanjian stood up on his horse's back with stirrups and looked on, with great joy on his face. Guo Shao came too in time, Shipo Mountain was near the quarry, more than 20 miles away, and he arrived so quickly.

……

……

I didn't want to say apologize anymore, but it's too much.

Starting from home on the 16th of this month, I will go to Beijing to participate in the training of Lu Xun Academy. It will end on April 3 and the return time will take nearly 20 days. So this month’s goal is to keep updating as much as possible, with only one update per day.

The second shift will only be restored next month. I hope you can understand it; I am also to blame for not saving the manuscript.
