Hu Mubiao's whole army began to counterattack, chasing Zhang Chong's troops to the north. Even the defeated troops who regrouped under Wang Kuang's banner raised their arms and shouted, and the whole army was cheered up.
But in the chaotic battlefield, the proud Hu Mubiao did not see the changes.
Zhang Dan's troops, who had thrown away their spears and retreated to the rear of the formation, did not withdraw again, but instead pulled out new spears from the baggage cart. These were prepared by Zhang Chong when he attacked Qinfeng's stronghold. It will come in handy.
Zhang Dan's tribe, who had obtained the new spears, began to regroup behind the formation. This time they formed a narrow square formation fifty people long and two people wide. Its length was longer than Hu Mubiao's formation, and then They began to press forward slowly.
The Li Damu and Ding Sheng tribes who were panicking over there did not retreat at all. They only retreated fifty steps and then separated from the middle to the two wings, revealing the real murderous intention behind them.
What they revealed was a well-armed and well-armed military formation, with Zhang Chong, the leader of the army, prominently among them.
However, it turned out that when Xie Bi planned the military aircraft for Zhang Chongzan, he pointed out that his troops were fighting with their backs to the water. The stronger our offensive was, the more desperate they were to survive. Therefore, it was better to lose than to attack. Our troops pretended to retreat, and they When the superiors take advantage of the victory and pursue it, they can give them a blow in the head.
Those who don't know how to fight will definitely be overjoyed to hear Xie Bi's strategy. But those who know how to fight will definitely not adopt Xie Bi's strategy.
Because this is the scholar's view, once implemented, it will inevitably end in misfortune.
Retreating in front of the formation is a taboo for military strategists. Once the front retreats, how will the rear know that you are luring the enemy? They will only think that the front is really defeated, so how can they not be afraid? This can easily lead to the collapse of the entire army.
But Zhang Chong used Xie Bi's strategy. It's not that he doesn't know the soldiers, but that he not only knows the soldiers but also knows himself. He is on the third level!
Whether the tactics of war are effective or not depends on whether the soldiers can execute them, and Zhang Chong was confident that this soldier under his command would be able to retreat from the formation without being defeated.
Zhang Chong's confidence comes from living and dying together with the Pao Ze people in the past two years, sharing food and clothing.
It also comes from the phrase "Walking for Heaven", from the song "Raise swords, exchange for peace, and restore the world to Qingming". His team is no longer just a begging army, but a righteous army!
A righteous teacher who offends the people and punishes crimes, eliminates violence and brings peace of mind!
This is also the reason why he only brought 300 veterans to attack Qin Feng despite being surrendered to Mount Tai and stealing two thousand soldiers. It was because he trusted them.
And this time he still believed that these subordinates would not abandon him!
Therefore, before the formation, he ordered the generals, Ding Sheng, and Li Damu to attack Wang's tribe. When encountering Hu Mu's soldiers charging, they must retreat to lure the enemy, and then retreat to Qu's headquarters to reorganize on both wings, and launch a counterattack with the headquarters. .
Zhang Dan's troops must defend the left flanks of Ding and Li's troops. Once Hu Mu's soldiers charge, they must also retreat to lure the enemy, retreat to the back of the formation to reorganize, and then use a wide front to compress the space of Hu Mu's soldiers' formation.
Finally, his subordinates did it. They did not betray Zhang Chong's trust, and now is the time for Zhang Chong to live up to their trust.
Zhang Chong's headquarters was walking on the left and riding on the right, with fifty colliding troops on the left and thirty assault cavalry on the right, arranged in three rows. At this time, Zhang Chong at the head of the formation began to sing:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world."
First Zhang Chong sang, then the soldiers sang, and finally the whole army sang together, and the whole battlefield was solemn!
what happened?
Hu Mubiao, who was facing the enemy, suddenly saw this scene. The bandit army that had been panicking had now reorganized into a military formation, while his own troops fell apart due to the charge and could no longer form a formation.
Unfortunately, Hu Mubiao realized that he had fallen into a trap and hurriedly wanted to call for gold, but it was too late.
I saw that Chen Huanbu, who had rested the longest, was no longer stingy with his energy and arrows at the shooting camp. He fired a continuous rain of arrows at Hu Mubiao's skirmishers. He emptied all the arrows and the archers' arms were sore and swollen before they stopped.
Hu Mubiao's army formation kept ringing with screams. The riverbank was now littered with arrows and corpses. The remaining troops hurriedly formed a military formation, and Zhang Chong led the assault cavalry over there.
For more than a year, Zhang Chong and the others had only been engaged in mountain warfare and had not used the cavalry much. However, the treatment of the cavalry remained the same. Naturally, there were many strange things about this situation.
Therefore, at this moment, all the warriors in the assault team are rushing to attack first, vowing to prove that they are still the first army of General Shi.
At this moment, they rushed into Hu Mubiao's tribe like tigers and sheep, killing directly through the three ranks of the army, especially the three cavalry generals Tian Jun, Ren Yun, and Xi Shen. They were jealous of Ding Sheng's achievements before, so they will naturally kill more fiercely.
There are people hanging around in Shang Changjin right now!
In the end, Chang Zhen couldn't be pulled out, so they started to use iron bone buds to hit Hu Mu's soldiers below.
Just like that, Daozhentun at the front collapsed!
Immediately afterwards, Gemaotun collapsed!
In the end, the Archer Tun, which lacked the courage to draw its sword, collapsed!
For a moment, Hu Mubiao's eyes went dark. He could only gather six troops, half of them were gone now, and even those broken troops were still attacking his remaining army formation.
Hu Mubiao became fierce and ordered: Those who rebel against the army must die!
In this way, the remaining three military formations began to massacre their own troops in front of the formation. The defeated soldiers yelled and cursed, but it did not help at all. They had no choice but to run to the right and cross the river.
The collision team that had fallen behind the assault cavalry also arrived at this moment, and Chang Xi and Yu Jin were among them. At this moment, they were wrapped in armor and wielding axes. They didn't care about how Hu Mu's soldiers were poking at them, and they only focused on slashing wildly.
For a time, the troops in front of the battle were heartbroken and their arms and limbs were broken. Mother Hu's soldiers could not withstand it and kept retreating.
At this time, Zhang Dan's spearmen, who were pressing from the front, also lined up.
The two armies were on one side and kept squeezing Hu Mu's soldiers on the small river beach. Hu Mu's soldiers were the last in the formation and were even treading in the water at this moment.
Hu Mubiao kept pushing Bubu in front and rushed over, but he was still squeezed behind him. He grabbed Gongsun Jiu next to him and angrily scolded him for rushing over. If he didn't rush over, he would kill him.
Gongsun Jiu's face turned pale at this moment, and he knew he could not refuse. He gritted his teeth, took his bow and shot at the collision team in front. However, before he could shoot two arrows, he was spotted by Xi Shen who was riding away.
Xi Shen was overjoyed and immediately took aim with his bow, sealing his throat with an arrow.
Gongsun Jiu died in the river valley.
Hu Mubiao didn't even care about the defeated Gongsun Jiu. He remembered that Wang Kuang still had a defeated army. He looked to the right and saw no one?
Look around again, hot girl, you Wang Kuang has already waded into the water to withdraw his troops.
Wang Kuang's withdrawal also took away Hu Mubiao's courage. He no longer cared about the life and death of his troops, but he still had to start wading across the river. His life was still there, and everything was there.
But at this moment, a group of cavalry came from the gap on the right side of Hu Mubiao's formation, led by Zhang Chong wearing a red turban.
It turned out that not long after he led his assault cavalry into Hu Mubiao's formation, he broke out, bypassed the entire military formation, and started to advance from Hu Mubiao's unprepared right side.
This side was originally where Wang Kuang's defeated troops were stationed, but once he withdrew, it became empty.
Zhang Chong stared at Hu Mubiao, who was already halfway across the river, and directly threw the horse silk in his hand. Hu Mubiao was alert and swerved to avoid it.
But because the armor was too heavy and Hu Mubiao moved too much, she fell directly into the water and never got up again.
