The war on the left and right wings all reached a stalemate, which also made the generals of the Qin army anxious, and they took the initiative to ask Bai Qi for support.
"General, Li Cunxiao asked for orders to lead a thousand troops to support the right wing." Li Cunxiao said, cupping his fists.
"Ran Min asks for orders to lead a thousand troops to support the left wing." Ran Min said solemnly.
Both of them did not require many troops. After all, they also knew that if there were too many supporting troops, the strength of the Chinese army would become weaker, and it would naturally be difficult to resist the main force of the enemy.
After hearing the generals' request for orders, Bai Qi did not look back, his eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and he said in a deep voice: "No, Liu Xiu divides his troops to support the two wings. At this time, the Chinese army is at its weakest. Our army is at its weakest.
Take advantage of this to defeat the enemy's central army."
Zhou Yu thought for a while and then said: "General, the enemy's army still has 35,000 troops. Our army can definitely add two wings to allow the enemy's army to divide its forces again, and then the risk of the decisive battle will be smaller.
"
Without thinking, Bai Qi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu will definitely not continue to divide his troops. He is also waiting for our army to send troops to support him at this time. Once I divide our troops, he will immediately pounce on me."
Come up."
Zhou Yu was stunned, and after thinking deeply, he realized that Bai Qi was right, Liu Xiu would never divide his troops again, because if he did, he would really be unable to stop the Qin army.
In this battle, both sides abandoned intrigues, so there was no question of who was plotting against whom. Both sides were engaging in the most primitive collision, and only strength could win.
Bai Qi had seen through this a long time ago, so what he prepared from the beginning was to defeat the enemy's center army, and then the enemy's two wings would naturally be defeated.
Of course, the premise is that the enemy's left and right wings will not interfere, and Bai Qi is not very worried about whether Wenpin and Huang Zhong can resist an enemy force several times his own.
With Xu Chu and three thousand elite Tiger Guards on the left wing, even if they could not defeat the enemy, they would definitely not be defeated.
Bai Qi was most worried about the right wing. Originally, he was planning to send more troops to the right wing, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong to be so fierce. Not only did he snipe and kill the two princes, but he also blocked the enemy's reinforcements, which became the biggest problem in the battle.
of surprise.
Now that the left and right wings were in a stalemate, Bai Qi naturally wanted to save his troops so that he could attack Liu Xiu's central army.
Liu Xiu's central army still had 35,000 troops. Huang Zhong took away 5,000 troops from Bai Qi's side, and Xu Chu Wenpin took another 8,000 troops. Now there are still 17,000 troops deployed.
Although Liu Xiu's military strength was still twice that of his own, Bai Qi was not afraid at all. You must know that among his 17,000 troops, there were 3,000 trapped camps, 3,000 iron guard camps, and 1,000 nine dragon guards.
, and the Five Hundred Flying Tiger Camp.
With 7,500 elite battalions of soldiers at his disposal, let alone Liu Xiu who only had 35,000 troops, even if he had 60,000, Bai Qi would still not be intimidated.
Bai Qi swept over the generals and said in a deep voice: "Victory or defeat depends on this. Gao Shun, you lead three thousand trapped camp as the vanguard, Ran Min, you lead ten thousand elites to follow closely behind."
"No." Gao Shun and Ran Min responded together.
If they don't move in vain, they will dispatch 13,000 troops to attack Liu Xiuzhong's army with the most fierce force.
On the side of the coalition forces, Liu Xiu saw that Bai Qi's troops were finally attacking his central army, and immediately ordered: "Where is Wu Han?"
"The end will be here." Wu Han stood up and responded.
"I now order you to take charge of the front army and be sure to block the enemy's army."
Wu Han once beheaded Miao Zeng, Xie Gong, pacified the peasant armies such as Tongma and Qingdu, and successively wiped out Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Gongsun Shu, Lu Fang and other separatist forces. It can be seen that he was a marshal with high command.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, Wu Han was appointed Grand Sima, ranking second among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai.
Such a general who knows his troops and is good at fighting, commanding a superior force with more enemies and fewer enemies, is theoretically impossible to fail. It is a pity that he encountered a trapped camp.
Looking at the enemy troops not far away who were marching with heavy and neat steps, Wu Han's eyes flashed with solemnity. The enemy's formation was so neat that they looked like one person. The trapped camp really lived up to its reputation.
"Archers prepare."
Wu Han drew out the long sword from his waist, pointed it straight ahead, and shouted: "The target is in front, shoot upward, and release the arrow."
Thousands of archers fired arrows together, and arrows rained down like rain.
"Raise your shield."
"ha……"
Following Gao Shun's order, the soldiers in the trapped camp uniformly raised their shields above their heads.
Arrows that filled the sky like raindrops kept hitting the shields, but they did not hit a single soldier in the trapped camp.
Seeing that the trapped camp was advancing slowly despite the rain of arrows, Wu Han's pupils shrank immediately, and then he ordered again: "The rear row shoots upward, the front row shoots straight, release arrows."
A sneer flashed at the corner of Gao Shun's mouth, and he shouted: "Shield array."
"Ding dong, Gao Shun's skill 'Trap' is activated."
"Entrapment: Gao Shun's unique skill, which stimulates the general's soldiers' morale, force, physical strength, cooperation, and tacit understanding to increase... Gao Shun's commander +4, force +2. If this skill is combined with the legend trained by Gao Shun himself,
It is activated when the troops are trapped in a camp and fighting in the field. With the same number of people, they are invincible."
"Ding dong, after activating 'Falling', commander +4, force +2, Gao Shun's basic commander is 92, current commander is raised to 96, Gao Shun's basic force is 93, equipment is 2, and force is increased to 96."
Originally, Gao Shun's peak basic force was 91, and his force was 92. However, as Qin Hao conquered the east and west in the past few years, Gao Shun not only reached his peak, but his command and force were also increased by 1 point.
This progress has indeed been great.
"Ding dong, Commander Gao Shun is 88, and his force is 89. "Entrapment" is activated, his commander is +4, his force is +2. Currently, Commander Gao Shun is 92, and his force is 91."
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life."
The roars of the three thousand trapped soldiers were simply louder than the roars of thirty thousand people!
The soldiers who were trapped in the camp, holding strong shields and wearing heavy armor, immediately retracted their formation after receiving Gao Shun's order.
The soldiers at the front held their shields diagonally, while the middle and rear soldiers held their shields horizontally, so that they could defend themselves against arrows from above as well as those from the front.
A flash of horror flashed in Wu Han's eyes. He didn't expect that the trapped camp had been trained to the point where it could defend against arrow attacks in all directions. If this continued, they would directly hit the Chinese army's formation.
"Cavalry attack." Wu Han ordered.
Of course, this is also a helpless move. The arrow array has no effect, so the only choice is to use cavalry to break the enemy's shield array.
Jingzhou is located in the south and does not produce war horses, so there are naturally not many cavalry. The five major princes only have a total of two thousand, but this does not mean that Liu Xiu does not have cavalry.
You must know that Liu Xiu's army came from the Liangzhou Army, and Dong Zhuo's gift to Liu Xiu included three thousand Xiliang cavalry.
Among Liu Xiu's thirty-five thousand central army, there were five thousand cavalry alone. This was the only force that could threaten the Qin army.
