"Could it be that Zhang Bao and the others came directly to us after conquering Qungang County?"
Wu Wen asked in surprise.
The people around him were also surprised when they heard this.
Let’s not talk about whether we need to rest or recuperate after the war.
Even if you don't rest, you still have only 20,000 troops, but you dare to continue attacking the county? Who gave them the courage?
"Sir, they only have 20,000 troops. I will lead a team myself and we will definitely be able to defeat them!"
One person asked Wu Wen for a fight.
"good!"
"Leng Rushong, I order you to lead 10,000 troops, together with more than 10,000 troops outside the city, to attack from the front!"
"Send an order for Lu Chu to lead his troops to go behind Zhang Bao and the others, and attack them from both front and rear."
"It's just 20,000 troops, surround them and eat them!"
Wu Wen said coldly.
At this time, Zhang Bao and the others had already seen the Nanxiang County mansion from a distance.
"Let's get started!"
"Based on the time, it should be almost there, let them start coming!"
Zhang Bao turned to several people and said.
Those people immediately ran towards the back.
"Look, sir, they are coming!"
"It's exactly what we thought. When they see so few of us, they will definitely want to eat us!"
Wu Dayong pointed to the men and horses rushing out of the city in front, turned to Zhang Bao and said.
"Go for it!"
"Everyone, get ready and follow the plan!"
Zhang Bao said slowly.
At this time, Leng Rushong, who was outside the city, had already led his men and horses to rush towards Zhang Bao and the others. Outside the Nanxiang County Government House, there was a vast plain, and even a melee involving tens of thousands of horses could be carried out.
Lu Chu on the other side also received Wu Wen's order.
He was yelling and cursing.
"Made!"
"I'm just saying, this guy who is so intimidated in martial arts only has 20,000 people, and yet he still has to defend the city?"
"If I follow my plan, I won't be able to lose the Qun Gang County Government. I really don't know what Mr. Zhou Mu is thinking about letting this idiot lead the army."
Lu Chu shouted angrily.
In his opinion, if he followed his plan and went to ambush and encircle them, he might have killed them all when the 20,000 men entered Nanxiang County.
Then we can pursue the victory and capture Heyang County, which probably won't be a problem.
What the hell is Wu Wen, a big fool, with more than 60,000 troops in his hands, actually defending the city?!
Riding on a horse!
Lu Chu gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw his military exploits just drifting away.
"General, what should we do now?"
A general asked from the side.
"What else can be done?"
"Follow me!"
"There's no need to attack from both front and rear. Just charge forward and get in front of Wu Wen and the others. Kill them for me!"
"Show them our fighting prowess!"
"rush!"
Lu Chu took the lead and rushed forward.
Wu Wen, who was watching the battle from a distance on the tower, was stunned when he heard countless shouts of killing coming from one side.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Chu and his men and horses were seen rushing over like a tide.
"What's going on with Lu Chu?!"
"Didn't I ask them to surround me from behind?"
"This type of flanking attack is not only tactically appropriate, but also psychologically intimidating to the enemy. What's going on with him rushing forward like this?!"
Wu Wen angrily slapped his hand on the city wall.
"General, I guess Lu Chu saw that there were few people in Hezhou and wanted to take credit, so he rushed forward directly!"
"But it doesn't matter if you look at it. We have 40,000 troops and they are only 20,000. They have an absolute advantage in numbers. We will definitely succeed immediately."
A general on the side said.
Wu Wen looked into the distance with a livid face.
He naturally understands this truth, but the problem is that if he disobeys military orders in battle, it is obvious that he does not take his chief officer seriously. If he makes such a move, his troops will not be able to control themselves in the future.
Moreover, the casualties caused by the front and back attacks will definitely be much smaller than the casualties caused by the current frontal attack.
This Lu Chu!
In order to gain credit, you don’t consider the overall situation at all!
What a bastard!
And at this time.
Leng Rushong's men and horses were already fighting with Zhang Bao's men and horses, and Lu Chu's men and horses rushed in behind them.
The advantage of numbers is still very obvious.
In an instant, Zhang Bao's men and horses were scattered and divided into pieces.
Seeing this situation, Wu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, Zhang Bao and his men can be gradually cannibalized. Even if Zhang Bao and his men have strong fighting abilities, there is nothing they can do.
But after watching it for a while, Wu Wen frowned.
It stands to reason that after the team is dispersed in this way, each small group of troops will have to face several times the number of enemies and will be captured quickly.
But after a while, these small divided parts were not only not eliminated, but also scattered towards the county government.
However, the number of people in the group has decreased a lot for no apparent reason.
The situation at this time was not like a group of wolves surrounding a group of sheep, but rather like a group of sheep surrounding a small group of wolves.
As the wolves charged, the number of sheep continued to decrease.
Moreover, the men and horses that were originally just in front of them now moved faintly towards both sides of the county government.
Only when he got closer did Wu Wen realize in shock.
The groups of men and horses that Zhang Bao and the others divided into did not seem to be formed due to their impact, but formed spontaneously.
Each small group of Zhang Bao's troops is a small formation.
On the outside, there is a group of people holding bamboos. This kind of bamboo is not uncommon and can be found on many mountains in Nanxiang County, but this kind of bamboo seems to be a little different.
The small branches and twigs in the second half of the soldier's hand were all chopped cleanly, but the head part of the bamboo was preserved, open like an umbrella.
These bamboo branches connected together formed an encirclement around the entire perimeter, and their men and horses could not rush in at all.
In addition to these randomly scraped bamboos, there were also some soldiers stabbing the outside with spears. The sight of many soldiers was blocked by the shaking bamboo branches. Those spears almost stabbed each one accurately.
.
With the combination of bamboo branches and spears, even the cavalry, let alone ordinary infantry, could not charge in.
Not only that, the people outside were not just in a circle, they seemed to be a team of their own with more than a dozen people.
These teams are constantly adjusting and changing positions.
Behind the spears and bamboo branches, there were many soldiers holding shields and swords, who were ready to cut back.
What's more important is that in the middle of several encirclement circles, there are actually several carriages. A general on the carriages is constantly directing something, moving all the way in the direction of the county government.
"Oh my God!"
"What kind of fight is this?!"
Wu Wen shouted in a voiceless voice.
Naturally, Wu Wen had never seen it before. This was the mandarin duck formation that would frighten Japanese pirates in later generations!
To be precise, it is a variation of Yuanyang Formation.
Zhang Bao placed eleven of them in groups on the outside of the entire encirclement, forming a small mandarin duck formation. Each of these mandarin duck formations were connected together to form a huge encirclement outside.
"grown ups!"
"Look!"
"What is that?!"
Just when Wu Wen was surprised, he suddenly heard trembling shouts from the crowd next to him.
