Chapter 1799
On the third day, when the sun was high in the sky, Lianglong's army once again took up its posture outside Quannan Pass, and the war was about to break out.
The soldiers on both sides seemed a little tired, and their momentum was not as strong as before.
Even though it only lasted two days, everyone's nerves were tense all the time, and it was very laborious.
This is true from soldiers to generals.
On the south side of the battlefield is the dense Long Army formation. Today, the Long Army's starting formation is finally not the long snake formation, but the four-door pocket bottom formation that was set up at the end of yesterday's battle.
Perhaps Dugu Chengye knew that the one-word long snake formation had lost its effectiveness against the Liang army.
The four large formations are still in a circular shape occupying the four corners, and the army is all infantry. The Black Ling Army, which was short-lived yesterday, has once again lost its trace.
A general flag with the word "Yuan" stood high in the formation. Yuan Man, who had directed the war for three consecutive days, was furious because he could not let Liang's army collapse under his own hands.
"Blast the drum!" Dugu Chengye shouted loudly and took the lead in taking the lead.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"Get into formation!"
"Ouch!"
With the help of spears and shields, the four circular formations became as hard as turtle shells.
Moreover, the Long Army had absorbed yesterday's lesson. The crossbowmen and Pu Dao soldiers in the army also carried some lightweight bamboo shields to prevent the Liang Army's rain arrows from causing a lot of damage to them.
There are stacks of shields and spears on the outside, and the swordsmen and crossbowmen on the inside are almost echoing each other, and the bamboo shields protect the safety.
Today Yuanman has made up his mind. No matter how powerful the Liang army's crossbows are, he will not withdraw the outer defense line.
There are many spears and iron armor, and the war breaks out again.
…
In the Liang army formation, banners were flying all over the field, and the mighty warriors gathered in formation.
The generals of the Liang Army on the general stage all looked at Chu Yucheng, because after several days of fighting, they found that only Chu Yucheng was familiar with the changes in these formations.
Everyone stopped arguing and chattering, and they just did whatever Chu Yucheng arranged for them.
Chu Yucheng said lightly:
"In the past two days, the cavalry has been in a lot of limelight. We are tired. Today it is the infantry's turn to go up and fight.
Which general is willing to go?"
"If the infantry army goes into battle, our Yungu Army will naturally do our part, haha."
Wang Shouren stood up with a big smile, his face full of smiles.
After all, there are not many infantry troops in the Liang Army who have set up camps, and his Yungu Army is the largest one on the mountain top.
Who else could it be if it wasn’t Yun Gujun?
"Ahem~"
A slight cough sounded.
"General Wang, the Yungu Army has already gone into battle a few days ago. No matter what happens today, it will be our turn, right?"
Wang Shouren was stunned and turned around to see Su Hong looking at him with a smile.
"Hey, it was our Yungu Army who spoke first." Zang Cheng stood up hurriedly. It was finally the infantry's turn to fight, how could he give up the opportunity so easily.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
Su Hong said repeatedly: "The two generals have a lot of people, so let me go for a while. The brothers under my hands are itching~"
The soldiers under Su Hong were basically composed of soldiers from the Jixi Road, mixed with some officers from the Liang Army. They must have been indispensable in every siege for so long.
It is said that the Xiandeng camp suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Nanchong, but these soldiers from the western and eastern Hebei roads also paid a heavy price and were equally worthy of the title of Liang army.
Regardless of the fact that Su Hong has been lurking in Jixi Road as a backbone of the Liang Army in recent years, in fact, his military qualifications are also old, so he naturally dares to compete with Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren and Zang Cheng frowned and prepared to speak, but Chu Yucheng made the decision directly:
"It makes sense. Let General Su lead his troops to fight this time!"
Wang Shouren and Zang Cheng immediately looked at the frustrated ball and sat back dejectedly. The military orders were like a mountain, and they couldn't compete with them.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, General Chu, for accepting the offer!"
Su Hong, on the other hand, was overjoyed and had a smile on his face.
Just like yesterday, Chu Yucheng and Su Hong walked aside arm in arm, and Chu Yucheng began to arrange a secret mission again, which was very mysterious.
Chu Yucheng pointed again, and Su Hong nodded repeatedly.
But it could be seen that General Su didn't seem very happy when he left.
Everyone looked at Chu Yucheng and rolled their eyes. They didn't even ask what he said to Su Hong. Anyway, he would always tell the truth, so asking questions was in vain.
Finally, Xue Meng couldn't hold it in any longer and muttered:
"Aren't you going to tell us how to fight this battle?"
Chu Yucheng smiled slightly:
"Everyone just watch!"
…
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of the war drums in the Liang army's formation changed from slow to fast, noisy and majestic.
"The army advances!"
"Ouch!"
Su Hong's soldiers and horses also marched forward to the sound of war drums. They were all infantry. The soldiers in front were equipped with long shields and held long spears, followed by a large number of light infantry and crossbowmen.
"Deng Deng Deng~"
"go ahead!"
A total of 12,000 infantrymen marched forward in neat steps, full of murderous intent.
At the same time, five thousand white snow guards swept out from the formation and paraded in front of the formation to hold down the infantry.
"Boom~"
The sound of horse hooves shook the ground, and a charging formation was formed in front of the formation.
The meaning of Liang Jun is very obvious. If you send out cavalry, then we will have a fight between cavalry and cavalry. Otherwise, it will be a fight between infantry and infantry.
…
This situation made the Long Army a little unbearable. Yuan Man was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he wished he could strike first with an axe.
The Long Army generals on the top of the city were in an uproar, and some even yelled:
"What does Liang Jun mean by looking down on our Dalong soldiers?"
"It's so arrogant that a mere ten thousand infantrymen dare to come and break our army's formation. It's really abominable!"
In the eyes of the Long Army, the cavalry in the Liang Army had always been the first-class main force, while the infantry were inferior soldiers.
The cavalry has not been able to break the formation in the past two days, so what is the use of the infantry?
Moreover, it is not a famous army such as the first to enter the camp, and the strength of the infantry is not as good as our own.
No matter how hard you calculate, Liang Jun has no chance of winning and will definitely lose.
The sudden noise made Dugu Chengye frown slightly and said coldly:
"Everyone, please keep your voice down! Are Liang Jun's white-clothed ghosts brainless and reckless?"
As soon as Dugu Chengye opened his mouth, the city suddenly became quiet.
Xun An, who had been watching the battle for the past two days without making a sound, finally spoke:
"General Dugu, the Liang army is full of tricks. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. General, you need to be extremely careful~"
Xun An's opinion was obviously greatly agreed with by Dugu Chengye, but he looked left and right and couldn't see what kind of splash Liang Jun's 10,000 people could create.
"That's all."
Dugu Chengye sneered:
Chapter completed!
