Before, the entire army pressed forward in a massive way, but it was different from a real full-line attack after all.
In the previous attack, the main thing was to rely on the sharp pawns of the forwards to open the gap, and the rear troops would then expand the results. When the situation was favorable to a certain extent and the cumulative victory was achieved, then a full-scale attack could be launched.
This is a conventional method of using troops.
As for launching an all-out attack before the situation is clear, it is no longer a war, but a gamble. After an all-out attack is launched, it will be difficult for the army to accept orders from the Chinese army, and the entire battlefield will fall into chaos.
In this case, who wins or loses depends not on the commander's command, but on the overall strength of the army, as well as factors such as luck.
"Father? Isn't Mrs. Guo going to her own death by doing this?"
The two cavalrymen fighting on the left wing were not very motivated. The Xiliang army began to charge fiercely. After letting the Huns know how powerful they were, the two sides restrained their offensive in a tacit understanding. Come on, these two families are here to take advantage.
Yes, there is absolutely no need to waste energy on the other party.
This formed a very strange phenomenon. The top leaders of both armies were paying attention to the battle situation on the other side. On the Xiliang people's side, Li Jue taught his nephews, while on the Huns' side, Liu Bao humbly paid attention to the elders of the clan.
Ask for advice.
Li Jue glanced at his son with relief. Although the latter's question was still a bit childish, at least it was on point. He nodded slightly and replied: "Shi'er, you are deceived by the appearance of the Anyi army.
They took the lead in every aspect, not because the army was well-trained and therefore had a solid basis for advancing and retreating, but because Xu Shu's commanding skills were too clever and his strategy was far superior to that of Guo Tai."
Li Jue's tone was a bit full of vicissitudes of life. In fact, he was only in his thirties this year, but in the presence of rising stars such as Wang Yu and Sun Ce, he had to sigh that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. He felt a little old.
"After suffering several losses, Guo Tai finally discovered that as long as he launched a full-scale attack, the effect of Xu Shu's strategy could be weakened to the greatest extent. Even after suffering several losses, Guo Tai's army was still stronger than Anyi's army.
There’s nothing wrong with his winning move…”
As he said that, Li Jue frowned slightly. His nephew Li Jin keenly noticed his uncle's anomaly and continued: "Uncle believes that the Anyi army has a back-up plan that can be used to resolve the situation, and even target Guo Tai's winning plan."
Counterattack?"
"It's hard to say." Li Jue shook his head noncommittally, "Xu Shu is somewhat similar to his master Wang Yu, but there are many differences. They cannot be generalized. But one thing is that these two people have the same origin! That is, they like to take risks.
, and at the same time, there will be backup options at the last moment!”
Guo Taijun was already fully moving, and the Crane Wing Formation seemed to come to life. Even though his head and neck were trapped and his claws were injured, he still stretched his wings as hard as he could. He seemed to be embracing the entire plain.
Looking at this scene from a distance, Li Jue's voice also became a little quiet: "With Xu Shu's intelligence and strategy, the people in Anyi will understand Mrs. Guo well, and they will not expect that the other party will fight for their lives. According to his style, they will definitely not sit back and watch.
If the war situation turns into a chaotic battle, there must be some back-up plan... The moment of victory is coming, so everyone should be prepared. Prepare for contingency!"
All the Xiliang generals responded to the order: "Here!"
…
"Come on, come on. Xu Yuanzhi, let me see, what else can you do?" Guo Tai's central army also moved. The four thousand cavalry did not choose to join the three thousand cavalry who suffered heavy casualties in the horse-rejecting formation.
It was a large-scale detour behind the formation, preparing to attack Li Le's left wing with all its strength.
He did not believe that there was any way the other side could resolve his offensive. Again, no matter how clever Xu Shu was, he was not commanding the Qingzhou Army. Facing a full-scale attack by an army of 50,000 people, a chaotic battle was inevitable.
He was a little afraid, but more than anything, he was looking forward to it. He was looking forward to seeing Xu Shu's backhand unable to cope with his violent attack, becoming helpless, and finally collapsing - just like he did before.
He believed that this was bound to happen, and nothing could change the outcome. Because this kind of gamble was not very beneficial to Guo Tai himself, because the uncertainty was too great, otherwise he would have adopted this tactic from the beginning.
Now, it's the cunning opponent's turn to worry.
There are many people who are distressed, but Xu Shu is definitely not included. If Guo Taineng looks closer, he can even see the smile on Xu Shu's face - a very sunny smile, with a sense of relaxation and comfort from the inside out, just like this battle.
The fight is over, and it's time to chase death to the north.
On the other hand, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others looked back frequently with anxious expressions. Even if this kind of battle was won, the casualties would be terrible. If Guo Tai wins, he may be able to rely on the help of the Huns and the sacrifice of the old and weak in Anyi.
, withstood the invasion of the Xiliang Army, but for the Anyi Army, such a result was unacceptable.
What's more, before the war, Xu Shu didn't explain at all how to respond to such a situation!
"Where is the order from the Chinese army? Is it coming? What...what! Urge a battle? Urge a battle at this time? A full-scale battle will begin soon!" Yang Feng's eyes became red with anxiety, and he grabbed the poor messenger by the collar.
He almost strangled the other party to death.
He thought that Xu Shu's back-up force was the ambush force from Dongshan, but the latter did not appear for a long time, and the battle situation immediately became irreversible. He had no choice but to be impatient.
The Anyi Army also has arrangements, but that arrangement cannot have any effect on the current situation. After all, the two sides know the basics and are two armies with the same origin.
"General Xu ordered... all ministries to be on standby... I just urged... General Guan to fight hard and solve the besieged Peng Yu's tribe as soon as possible." For the sake of duty and their own lives, the messengers struggled hard to convey the message.
"Now, what's the use of killing Peng Yu? The problem is Mrs. Guo's army, 50,000 including 4,000 cavalry!" Yang Feng was confused and asked loudly, but his hands were loose after all.
.
"I don't know, but General Xu reminds you that when you see the next order from the Chinese Army, you must not hesitate and strictly abide by it..."
"What order are you talking about?" Yang Feng asked in confusion. Before the war and during the war, Xu Shu emphasized this matter many times, and now he did it again, but he still refused to make it clear, which made everyone confused.
I was filled with doubts, as if I was choking on the last night's dinner. It was so uncomfortable.
"I don't know, but General Xu said so..." The ordering soldier moved back timidly, fearing that Yang Feng would pounce on him again like before.
His worry was actually unnecessary. Before Yang Feng could get angry or anything else, a deafening cheer came from the battle group in the formation: "Peng Yu is the leader, and the general is mighty!"
Yang Feng looked back in shock and saw that the trapped enemy vanguard of the Chinese army had begun to disintegrate. In the center of the battle formation, a large yellow flag slumped over, and another large yellow flag fluttered in the wind, dancing back and forth. A strong figure under the flag was covered with blood.
Bathed in blood, only the big knife in his hand was shining, emitting a heart-stopping cold light.
Peng Yu's vanguard army fought hard for a long time, and the death of their general gave them the final blow. They collapsed instantly, like a group of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, running around in the sheepfold but unable to find a way out.
Guo Tai's army was also taken aback. The tidal offensive had an obvious pause, but the next moment, hatred and murderous intent fully occupied their minds, and the 50,000-strong army rushed forward with even more ferocity than before.
.
At this moment, the central army of Anyi Army finally made some movement.
"Dang, dang, dang..." A rapid sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded, bringing a big surprise to everyone on the battlefield.
Military music is nothing more than gongs, drums and horns, among which drums and horns have many changes, especially drums. The drums and horns of each army have their own characteristics. Even if they are the same Han army, they will be slightly different according to the different habits of the commanders.
But Gong is a special case.
In all armies, there is only one way to strike the golden gong, and it also represents only one meaning: when you hear the drum, you advance, and when you hear the gold, you retreat. This has been an unchanging truth since the Chinese ancestors created the art of war.
Since the gong sounded, there was no doubt about the order of the Chinese army. General Xu ordered the troops to retreat! Turn around and run away in front of the rushing enemy!
"How could..." They were just stunned and stunned just now, but now, Yang Feng and others are numb.
Retreat? Retreating at this time can only mean one thing, and that is the collapse of the entire army! Once the collapse occurs, even if the Soldier Saint is reincarnated and Han Xin is reborn, there is no way to save the defeat. After all, there is no river behind, even if it is an elite force
, there is no way to use the geographical advantage to complete the reversal of the last-ditch battle, let alone the Baibo Army?
"Yang Shuai! Don't forget General Xu's instructions!"
"Han Shuai..."
Xu Shu even thought of this situation, and specially arranged a messenger next to General Bai Bo. On the surface, he was to interpret the Chinese army's flag, but in fact, it was for this most critical moment.
"...retreat!" Yang Feng looked back at the Chinese army and found that the general's flag had disappeared. Xu Shu retreated decisively. When the golden gong struck, the flag was rolled back and he ran away.
Xu Shu had already run away, and the situation was certain. Regardless of whether Xu Shu had a deep intention or not, Yang Feng knew very well that there was only one way in front of him - to run with him. If he stayed still and hesitated,
That's really a bad thing.
"Retreat!" Han Xian acted more decisively than several of his colleagues this time. When Xu Shu repeatedly warned him before, he had already prepared for the worst. Running away before the battle was not the worst. He accepted it a little more
No pressure at all.
The only trouble appeared on Li Le's side. This guy was a desperate man. He was already red-eyed, so why would he retreat? No matter how many times the ordering soldiers reminded him, he just kept his head down and fought with his sword. The guards several times
I wanted to step forward and grab him, but he didn't say anything and just slashed with his knife. No one dared to go up.
When I was at my wits end, the savior came.
"Little Lizi, General Yuan Zhi has ordered the withdrawal of troops. What are you saying here? Come on, follow me!" Guan Hai appeared in time and rushed forward to meet Li Le's sword. With a swing of the sword in his right hand, he fended off the opponent.
He slashed his head with a knife, extended his left hand, and held Li Le under his ribs like he was carrying a chicken.
"The wind is tight, pull it!" Turning around, Guan Hai cut off Li Le's flag with a single blow, shouting a cordial cut, and led the Chinese army to join the fleeing team.
Not only was he in the middle of the situation inexplicable, but everyone watching the battle was also staring blankly. Li Jue's nephews were all stunned, and he himself was a little dazed, muttering to himself: "A total rout versus a full-scale attack, this is considered
