The other twenty children who participated were directly left aside.
The only meaning of their existence is to prove their hypocrisy. These more than a thousand forbidden troops are theirs and are just temporarily lent to Zhao Kai for deployment.
Zhao Kai gave the order again, and these twenty squadrons gathered into two battalions and ten capitals.
There are five hundred men in one battalion and one hundred men in each capital. This division makes it easier to mobilize and command.
Even Zhao Huan secretly lamented that King Yun was worthy of being the number one scholar in the royal family and had been on the battlefield. His military qualities were unparalleled!
The ministers in Jiangxiao Tower also breathed a sigh of relief.
At first they were worried that Zhao Huan's risking his life would cause the morale of the other contestants to be low. Now that Zhao Kai was directly commanding all the soldiers in a state of war, Zhao Huan would definitely lose.
Zhao Ji actually stood up and walked to the window to watch the civil war carefully.
The struggle for imperial power in the Song Dynasty had always been a series of overt and covert battles, with all kinds of mechanisms being exhausted, but this was the first time that Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai directly arranged their troops to attack each other.
Zhu Lian's palms were already sweating. There was no doubt about Zhao Kai's military ability. Since he personally commanded more than a thousand people, Zhao Huan was in danger.
Once the shield wall is breached, Zhao Huan will be killed in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Wang, don't you rely on the strength of your shield and the strength of your sword to think you are invincible?"
"Today, I will let you understand how big the gap is between you and me!"
"On the battlefield, what matters is flexibility and adaptability to the situation."
"See how I break your hedgehog formation!"
Zhao Kai immediately shouted: "One battalion, one capital, wear your helmet backwards!"
Wearing the helmet backwards? Zhao Huan narrowed his eyes and immediately realized Zhao Kai's intention, and at the same time ordered: "Shrink the formation!"
Originally, the fifty soldiers were extremely close together. Following Zhao Huan's order, everyone took half a step back, their bodies almost touching each other, without any gaps.
The shield, the man, and the wall fit closely together.
At the same time, a hundred people in the city had already thrown away the wooden sticks in their hands, and like a herd of mad cows, they rammed towards the big shield.
Since they were so close, they didn't need to look at the road at all, they could just turn sideways and rush forward.
In addition, wearing his helmet backwards, the sword failed and his shoulder hit the big shield hard.
The thick armor provided enough defense, and the impact of a hundred people was actually more powerful than the previous impact of a thousand people.
Even though Zhao Huan and others were already closely connected and supporting each other, they were still shaken by the collision.
"Hold on! Hold on to me!"
"If the shield wall is broken, we have no chance of winning against thousands of people."
The opponent collided three times in a row, and the gap in the shield wall became wider and wider. Although they would merge again in a blink of an eye, the vanguard had no strength left.
Seeing that the shield wall was about to be broken through, Zhao Kai struck while the iron was hot and ordered the fourth impact.
Zhao Huan was not idle either: "Substitute!"
The vanguard was withdrawn, and the second platoon became the first platoon. They continued to withstand the big shield and withstood the fourth impact.
With just one blow, the vanguard was exhausted again. If he wanted to withstand the fifth impact, he could only continue to replace him.
And Zhao Huan did exactly this.
Zhao Kai's eyes showed a hint of disdain: "Change people frequently, drink poison to quench thirst."
"This hedgehog formation is indeed strong, but it's a pity that the number of people is too small. One thousand to fifty, even if it is exhausted, it will drain all your physical strength!"
"For any soldier, physical strength is life. Without physical strength, everything is empty talk."
Zhao Huan rotated the vanguard for the third time, and this time Chang Fu and his servants took the lead.
When Zhao Kai's fifth impact came, Zhao Huan suddenly shouted: "Open the door!"
What? Open the door!
Zhao Kai was stunned and was extremely surprised to find that when Zhao Huan was rotating the vanguard, the originally extremely tight formation had quietly expanded outwards.
As the internal space became larger, the soldiers naturally had room to move around.
The large shield that was originally tightly connected actually opened a hole, and the soldiers wearing helmets backwards, unaware that Zhao Huan had changed their formation, rushed in with their eyes closed.
More than thirty people were put into Zhao Huan's pocket array.
The big shield closed again, and the thirty or so soldiers wearing their helmets backwards were thrown to the ground by Zhao Huan's soldiers, who directly took off their helmets, swung them up, and smashed them on the forehead.
"ah!!!"
"My lord, please spare my life..."
"This is a competition, not killing the enemy. There is no need to be so ruthless."
The screams of the soldiers continued to echo in Gen Yue. Due to the large shield blocking it, only Zhao Kai could barely see what was happening behind the large shield.
More than thirty soldiers wearing their helmets backwards were pushed to the ground by Zhao Huan's men and beaten with explosive hammers until they cried for their fathers and mothers, and knelt down to beg for mercy.
It wasn't until all these thirty people were knocked unconscious that Zhao Huan had someone throw them out one by one.
The sixty-odd people left in each battalion turned pale as they looked at their unconscious comrades with bloody heads and bruises.
Although Zhao Kai's orders came one after another, their impact obviously made them feel guilty.
Wearing your helmet backwards, fuck you, can this be called a tactic?
I can't see what's going on in front of me. Isn't this just going up a pole to deliver food to Zhao Huan?
When the remaining sixty people collided with the big shield again, as expected, because their morale was affected, the power of the impact was greatly reduced, and the big shields only shook a little.
Seeing that everyone's morale has been sapped, they are almost exhausted.
Zhao Kai decisively withdrew from the capital.
"Second Battalion and First Capital, rotate, keep hitting me!"
"With more than a thousand people, I don't believe that we can't break through Zhao Huan's defense line of only fifty people."
Not to mention Zhao Kai didn't believe it, not even anyone in Jiangxiao Tower believed it.
Even Zhu Lian felt that the stalemate at this time would not solve the problem at all. After all, the difference in numbers was too great, and no matter how sophisticated the tactics were, they could not make up for the huge gap in military strength.
Moreover, Zhao Huan's pocket formation cannot be used continuously, otherwise if the opponent is on guard, then instead of closing the door and beating the dog, he will shoot himself in the foot.
Changfu's voice also came over: "Your Majesty, the opponent's offensive is intensive, and we have few people. Even if we take turns to rest, we can't slow down."
"If this continues, it will only delay the defeat."
"Your Majesty, please think of a way..."
Zhao Huan's eyes were as bright as fire and he said in a deep voice: "There is a twenty-fold gap in military strength and the inability to truly kill the enemy means that it is impossible to truly shake the opponent's morale. So wanting to win is nothing more than a dream."
"but……"
"Even if there is only one chance in a thousand, I will never let it go."
Zhao Huan raised the sword in his hand, raised his arms and shouted: "To capture the thief, capture the king first. Only by capturing King Yun can the situation be reversed."
"Everyone, follow me and charge to the death!"
The soldiers around him also understood that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to defeat the opponent. Only by taking the initiative would they have a chance.
