Liu Xin always advocates brainstorming and pooling efforts when discussing matters. Everyone present can express their opinions and speak freely. Even if you are just a maid or a small soldier, as long as what you say makes sense, Liu Xin will accept it and even accept it.
Rewards will be given. Of course, when such an occasion comes, not many people will express their opinions casually. Only people like Zhu Rong, who are careless and careless, will always think of saying a few words.
Therefore, Liu Xin did not scold Zhu Rong for suddenly interrupting. Instead, he said patiently: "Miss Zhu, marching and fighting is no longer a piece of cake. If others don't do anything more than a small test, they will be like a formidable enemy and pull all the troops out."
. But when you get there, others have already withdrawn. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time for the soldiers to go back? If this happens again and again, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos, so you must make a plan before taking action."
Zhu Rong said with enlightenment: "Brother, I understand. This is called the incompetence of one general and the exhaustion of the three armies!"
After hearing these words, all the generals laughed, and Liu Xin also looked embarrassed, as if the incompetent general in Zhu Rong's mouth was him.
Suddenly, the tent door was opened, and a soldier ran in quickly, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Report! The enemy's large army is less than five miles away from here, with a strength of no less than 100,000. Please make a decision, my lord!"
"Explore again!" Liu Xin waved her hand and asked the sentinel to go out. She raised her head and said to the generals, "It seems that Liu Dan and Meng Huo are serious this time. Let's also gather our troops to welcome him.
"
The camps of the Central and South Allied Forces and the Han Army were not far apart, only about ten miles apart. Now Liu Dan and Meng Huo's troops were less than five miles away from them and had already crossed the center line. It was obviously not as simple as a trial and error. Two
When the army is in a confrontation, if the enemy is allowed to get close to his camp, his actions will be very passive. Of course, Liu Xin will not let them be so arrogant.
Meng Huo came out this time just to see why there was such a big commotion in the Han army camp. As soon as he left the tent, a spy came to report, and a big flag with the word "Liu" was erected in the Jiang army camp.
, it seems that Liu Xin personally led the reinforcements here.
The enemy was right in front of him. Not to mention Meng Huo, even Liu Dan couldn't bear it any longer. After a brief discussion with Yang Feng, Yong Kai, Wu Tu Gu and others, they each formed a large army and rushed to the Han camp to kill these.
Everyone knows that Liu Xin is the backbone of the Han army. If Liu Xin can be captured in a desperate battle, it will not only break the current deadlock, but also reverse the situation on the entire battlefield.
Although the entire Central-Southern Allied Force was put together by Liu Dan and seemed to have him as the leader, in fact he did not have a single soldier under his command. Yong Kai, Gao Ding, Wang and his wife, and Lu Kai each formed a county soldier.
Wan, in name, was under his control, but in reality they were doing their own thing. As for the barbarian soldiers, they were led by hundreds of clan chiefs. Once chaos broke out, not even Meng Huo could restrain them. Fortunately, Meng Huo and Yang Feng were so stubborn.
, the four tribes of Mulu were the most powerful, and most of the other tribes relied on them, and they quickly formed a team. With the sound of a drum, one hundred thousand Central and South Allied troops poured into the Han camp like a tide.
Although Liu Dan and Meng Huo hated Liu Xin deeply, they had also suffered heavy losses from the Han army. They had traveled more than five miles but could not see any movement in the Han camp, so they could not help but hesitate.
The place where Mulu lived was Gu Yelang. The people there had always been arrogant and they did not pay attention to the Han army. Seeing the performance of Meng Huo and others, he immediately said with disdain: "Everyone, we barbarian sons have been here since ancient times." You are known for your bravery, but now you have become so timid. You are so cautious, why are you talking about taking Chengdu or Xiangyang? Why don't you go home early and take care of your children?"
Hearing this, Wu Tu Gu laughed wildly, pointed to the Han camp in front and said: "Look there, the Han army heard that our 100,000 troops were approaching the border. I'm afraid they were so frightened that they peed their pants. How could they dare?" Come out to meet the enemy. We still..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill sound of horns from the opposite camp. At the gate of the camp, tens of thousands of troops and horses lined up in a neat queue, coming towards this side with firm steps. Although the number of the other side was not as large as theirs, but The mountain-like momentum made them breathless.
The tribes of Mulu and Wutugu have always lived in the southernmost mountains. Even if there are some battles with other surrounding tribes, the scale will not be too large, and his tribe has the largest number of people and equipment. An absolute advantage, but I have never seen such a big scene.
They simply don't know that such a large-scale battle cannot be solved by personal martial arts alone. The general needs to be able to grasp the overall situation and effectively organize the various arms of each legion. Otherwise, if it is still a mess, one hundred thousand soldiers will not be able to solve the problem. What is the difference between a human being and a human being with ten thousand people?
When they first saw the momentum of the Han army, Mulu and Wutu Gu were startled. When they took a closer look, they found that the Han army was just wearing black clothes and black armor. When they were gathered together, they looked like a mass of darkness. , in fact, the number of people should not exceed 30,000. Looking back at his own troops, although they were noisy, they numbered a hundred thousand, and I suddenly felt confident again.
Wu Tu Gu waved the steel fork in his hand and said loudly: "The Han people have always been weak. Let's all rush forward and kill them all!"
The barbarian soldiers shouted and rushed forward with strange screams. The already chaotic team was now in even worse formation. Meng Huo knew the power of the Han army's bows and arrows, and just when he wanted to stop them, his eyes rolled. With a turn, he raised the sharp ax in his hand, restraining his team and letting them rush forward.
Liu Dan himself had no soldiers, but followed closely behind Yong Kai and others. These prefects of the four central and southern counties had also seen the power of the Han army, and naturally they would not be stupid enough to let their own men go forward and die.
Soon, the Central and South Allied Forces were divided into two waves. The first wave was composed of Mulu, Wutugu and some newly arrived barbarians from smaller tribes, and the second wave was composed of Meng Huo, Yang Feng's men and Yong. From a distance, the county soldiers of Kai and others looked like they were well-rehearsed.
Suddenly he heard another drum sound from the army on the opposite side. Meng Huo put up a pavilion and saw that the Han army in front had already set up their shields and had spears like a forest. Under the sunlight, the tips of the spears shone with a cold light. Meng Huo knew , there must be countless powerful bows and crossbows hidden behind the spearmen. Several times, he suffered heavy losses from the opponent's bows and arrows.
Thinking of this, Meng Huo couldn't help but look behind the shield. He saw that the gate of the formation was closed tightly, and a yellow commander's flag was erected in the middle. Under the flag, several generals were pointing in this direction. At this time, two people The army was approaching, and Meng Huo's eyesight was very good. He had already seen clearly that the general in the center was Liu Xin. Although it had been three years, Liu Xin's appearance had not changed much. He was still so young and handsome, but he was dressed in a uniform. The white robe was replaced by black clothes and black armor.
Looking next to Liu Xin, Meng Huo was about to explode with anger. The man in red clothes and armor, like a ball of flame, was not Zhu Rong but who was it! Meng Huo seemed to have seen the bright smile on Zhu Rong's face,
Unable to control himself any longer, he yelled: "Come forward and capture Liu Xin alive! I will cut him into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Following his order, the second wave of Central-Southern Allied Forces, which had gradually distanced itself from Mulu and Wutugu's troops, suddenly sped up. As a result, the two waves of armies moved at almost the same speed and in the same messy formation.
Surge forward.
Seeing that they were only two arrows away from the Han army's formation, the barbarian soldiers under Mulu and Wutugu suddenly became excited and rushed towards the opposite formation. Although they did not go through any big battles, they
We also know that we must obtain sufficient acceleration before entering the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, so as to ensure that we can rush through the road of death in the shortest possible time and achieve close combat with the opponent.
Liu Xin has always disliked hand-to-hand combat, not even dueling between generals, so he spared no effort to develop bows, crossbows and trebuchets with longer range and greater power, no matter how much it cost. As for gunpowder
and artillery, although the research institute has never been able to successfully test it, Liu Xin has never reduced their funding in this area by even a copper coin.
Liu Xin was not afraid at all of the large group of enemy troops that were charging towards them with all their strength. These barbarian tribesmen were in a mess and had obviously not received much training. They did not even have a decent piece of armor on them, and many of them were shirtless.
, such a defense, under the rain of sharp arrows, is almost suicidal. In comparison, the Han army is well-trained and does not need Liu Xin to command it personally. It naturally knows when to form an array and when to attack.
When to string the bow and when to draw the bow.
Just when the first wave of barbarian troops began to exert their strength, the Han army also moved. There was a loud "bang" sound. This was the sound of three thousand crossbows and three thousand crossbows being launched at the same time. Three thousand iron arrows were fired mercilessly.
He shot at the barbarian troops. Before the iron arrows fell, there was another dull "buzz" sound from the Han army's formation, and a thousand feather arrows were shot out instantly.
At this time, Liu Xin had improved the archers' shooting rhythm and divided all the archers into three teams. When the first team's feather arrows were shot out, the second team opened their strong bows, and the third team started
Put the arrows on the string. The three teams repeat this over and over again. Although each team can only shoot a thousand feathered arrows, they can shoot continuously, making the enemy unable to guard against it, and the psychological pressure on the opponent will be huge.
The charging barbarians never expected that the Han army's bows and arrows could shoot such a long distance. Meng Huo, Liu Dan, and Gao Ding all knew about it, but they did not remind them. Not only did most of the barbarian soldiers have no armor, but many of them even had shields.
None, even those with shields, were caught off guard and did not raise them at all. A large number of the barbarian soldiers rushing in front suddenly fell down, and the rain of arrows from the Han army seemed to be endless, constantly harvesting their lives.
At first, these barbarian soldiers only knew how to rush forward blindly, but as more and more people fell, their psychology gradually changed. Most of them came from the same tribe and knew each other well. They watched the tribesmen who lived together day and night just now.
They were still alive, but in the blink of an eye they were separated from each other. At first there was hatred in their hearts, then helplessness, and then only fear. Because in just a moment, they had not rushed through a quarter of the way.
Nearly ten thousand of the tribesmen around him have fallen, but the opponent's bows and arrows seem to be endless.
