Chapter 291 : War! (2) [2 in 1](2/2)
Thinking of this, Xiang Kuan immediately ordered: "Send the order and ask Sun Huan and Fang to hire two people to reorganize the array and attack both sides of the Wei army in a roundabout way..."
Under Xiang Kuan's order, the Zhaoguan army changed its formation not long after, and the tens of thousands of soldiers were divided into three, like a trident, with three blades showing at the same time, piercing Li Lin's army.
This change of formation caused the Wei army's offensive to be curbed at once.
Xiang Kuan has changed his formation? What should we do?
Wei general Li Lin was inevitably a little flustered.
You must know that the Zhaoguan Army is the elite of the Chu State. After long-term training and running-in, it is able to temporarily change formations on the battlefield. However, the Wei soldiers under Li Lin do not have this ability. In fact, the soldiers under his command do not have this ability.
The formation of the Wei soldiers is already in chaos. If they change the formation again, even if his order can be transmitted to the ears of the generals under his command, the Wei soldiers will not be able to change the formation.
If the formation is forcibly changed, it is very likely that the various units of the Wei army will collide with each other and cause chaos.
Suddenly, Li Lin had an idea.
Anyway, these militiamen are not afraid of death, so they simply...
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pointed at the two gaps in the Chu army's trident formation, shouting repeatedly: "Advance the troops! Advance the troops! Kill them!... Go around the Chu army in front and kill them from both sides!"
A moment later, as Li Lin's entire army pressed forward, the Wei soldiers in front were squeezed into two gaps in the Chu army's trident formation by the surging soldiers without knowing why.
"Huh?"
At this time, Xiang Kuan was sitting astride his horse, folding his arms and watching the battle ahead. Suddenly he saw the Wei army changing formations, separating from left and right and entering their own formation. He was slightly startled.
Then Li Lin...is he trying to kill me?
Thinking of this, Xiang Kuan licked his lips and secretly sneered at Wei General Li Lin's unreasonable thoughts.
But gradually, he felt that something was wrong, because the Wei army on the opposite side seemed to have no intention of attacking his general's flag in unison. They advanced while attacking the Chu army on both sides.
In his opinion, the formation of the Wei army on the opposite side was completely messed up, and even because they were fighting independently, they were unable to pose any major threat to the Zhaoguan army.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he directly ordered a breakthrough at this moment, he might be able to directly penetrate Li Lin's army.
The only question is, does this make sense?
You must know that the purpose of drilling through the enemy's army is to break up the enemy's formation. At present, Li Lin's army's formation has been completely disrupted. Even if it is drilled through the Wei army, what will happen?
…
Looking at the battle ahead, Xiang Kuan fell into deep thought.
At the moment, he has two choices. One is to order his Zhaoguan army to divide Li Lin's army, but this is of little significance because Li Lin is fighting on his own at the moment; the other is to get rid of Li Lin's army and continue to advance and attack.
The front center of the Wei army, or the right wing of the center.
Xiang Kuan looked at the Wei army's formation in the distance.
According to the news from the scouts before the war, the central army of the Wei army was the Luoyang Imperial Guard. They were the only elite Wei army on this battlefield that could not be inferior to any of the other coalition forces. Even though Xiang Kuan was attacking him
The Zhaoguan Army under his command is confident enough, so when encountering this Wei army, they must be vigilant.
What's more, the Wei army in the distance opposite is not only the Luoyang Imperial Guard, but also hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers on the right wing. Although these hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers are much inferior to the Luoyang Imperial Guard, if there is a gap in the strength of the two sides,
It was too big, and even Xiang Kuan's Zhaoguan Army might not be able to avoid heavy losses.
At this time, another army is needed to contain the Luoyang Army for our army...
Xiang Kuan thought secretly in his heart.
At this moment, several cavalry scouts rushed to him and shouted: "General Xiang Kuan, General Xiang Mo orders you to continue to advance!... He has ordered Dou Lian, the second general Niyu, to lead 20,000 troops.
Fuli's army goes out to contain the Luoyang Wei army for you!"
Xiang Kuan was startled when he heard this. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his own formation. Sure enough, he saw an army in front of the central army quickly marching towards the battlefield.
As expected of a brother!
Xiang Kuan was secretly happy and immediately ordered: "Send the order, get rid of Li Lin's army, and continue to attack the Wei army's right wing!"
"yes!"
Immediately go to deliver the order.
At the same time, in the front army of the Wei army, the royal chariot that Wei King Zhao Run was riding in was parked next to the former army general Zhou Ji, paying attention to the battle situation ahead.
When he saw that Li Lin's army was in chaos, Wei general Zhou Ji sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "After all, it was too reluctant..."
"This is already amazing."
After hearing Zhou Ji's words, Zhao Run smiled and said: "Li Lin and his generals are already outstanding enough to be able to stop Xiang Juan. We can't ask for more."
After hearing this, Zhou Ji also nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty... no, general, do you need to send an order to the right wing of the central army to order the troops under the command of Liang Marquis Zhao Anding to support Li Lin?"
Although he was a former military general, Zhao Run, the heavenly general, was in front of the battle at the moment, so of course he wanted to ask what the latter meant.
"No need for the moment."
Zhao Run shook his head and analyzed: "As far as I know, Xiang Kuan is an arrogant person. He probably doesn't bother to entangle with Li Lin's army for a long time. He may wait for an opportunity to get rid of Li Lin's soldiers and go straight to the front of our army...
If this is true, Li Lin's tribe is not in danger of collapse for the time being, and does not need the support of Shang Liang Hou."
Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in slight surprise: "That Xiang Guo really dares to attack my army directly?"
Zhao Run smiled lightly and said: "As long as Xiang Mo sends his troops to help him contain our Luoyang imperial guards, that Xiang Juan will dare..."
At this point, he seemed to have seen something, and said with his mouth straight forward: "Here, Xiang Mo has moved."
Zhou Ji was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned around to look at the battlefield. He saw the coalition forces in the distance, and the Chinese army in front of them was indeed dispatched.
At this time, Zhao Run said lightly: "It's not surprising that Xiang Juan looks down on Li Lin's army. After all, those athletes have not undergone strict training. Although they are determined to defend their homeland and country, they often fail when they go to the battlefield.
It is difficult to take the overall situation into consideration, and will only subconsciously pursue the enemy in front of you... Zhou Ji, do you know the consequences of this?"
Zhou Ji thought for a while and replied: "This will lead to the fact that after Xiang Kuan throws away Li Lin's troops, Li Lin's soldiers may continue to turn around and pursue Xiang Kuan's Zhaoguan army..."
"That's right." Zhao Run narrowed his eyes and continued: "At this time, if Liang Hou is sent to use all his troops to block Xiang Kuan, the Chu army under Xiang Kuan will be trapped between Li Lin and Shangliang Hou Zhao
To stabilize the front and back attacks between the two..."
After hearing this, Zhou Ji frowned and said: "But in this case, wouldn't Li Lin's back be completely exposed to the coalition forces?... According to the last general's knowledge, the left wing of the coalition's central army is the Dongou Army of the Yue Kingdom.
, its strength is no small matter..."
"Therefore, our army also needs an army to contain Yue's Dongou Army."
Having said this, Zhao Run said to the escort cavalry beside him: "Bosile's Jiejiao cavalry is wandering near the coalition's array at the moment. Find him and ask him to contain the Dongou Army on the left wing of the coalition's center."
"yes!"
The four Tiger Guards rode away with fists clasped.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji secretly praised: That Xiang Mo might be able to predict the enemy before him, but what he could think of, His Majesty, no, the Heavenly General could think of, and even thought further than that Xiang Mo.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly: "General, since Xiang Mo's elite troops have been dispatched, can our left wing also take an offensive?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Run nodded, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Yanshun, go to the left wing of the front army in person, tell General Hou Dan what I told you before, and order him to act as ordered!"
"yes!"
Yan Shun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, clasped his fists and accepted the order and left.
After a while, Yan came to the left wing of the former army and found Hou Dan, the commander of the left wing of the former army.
I saw Hou Dan anxiously walking back and forth in front of the formation, muttering something like why he hadn't given orders to my left wing yet.
Immediately, he noticed the arrival of Yan Shun, the commander of the guards of Wei King Zhao Run, and was very surprised: "Commander Yan, is your Majesty in the front army at this moment? I bother you to come and deliver the order."
Yan Shun smiled and said, "Because the situation is a bit special."
With that said, he turned over and dismounted. When he approached Hou Dan, he said a few words to the latter. Hou Dan was surprised and said with wide eyes: "This is actually happening?... Then
Huan, um, can you trust those people?"
Yan Shun smiled and reminded: "This is your Majesty's judgment."
"..." Hou Dan nodded slowly.
Not because of anything else, but because Zhao Run rarely makes mistakes in judgment.
"I understand." Hou Dan grinned and said, "Please report back to Your Majesty. In the end, as he wishes, he will be given a... big surprise by the coalition forces."
After that, he took the guard and handed him the reins, got on his horse, waved his hand and gave the order: "The soldiers on the left wing of the front army will obey the order, all press forward, and advance slowly. Everyone will listen to my order!"
Under Hou Dan's order, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers on the left flank of the Wei army's front army, including numerous Wugang chariots, Liannu chariots, tortoise-shell chariots, etc. deployed here, slowly advanced in the direction of the coalition forces.
Due to the mobility limitations of these chariots, Hou Dan's army advanced very slowly, but this did not prevent the Wei army from attracting the attention of the coalition forces as soon as it made any changes.
Immediately, those Chu soldiers who were wandering on the battlefield and standing still to watch scolded the cavalry, and someone immediately reported the matter to the former army leader Xiang Mo.
"The left wing of the Wei army is dispatched?"
After learning the news, Xiang Mo immediately increased his vigilance: "Whoever comes, quickly go to the location of the Wei army and order Wei Shao and others to prepare to resist the Wei army!"
"yes!"
Glancing at the leaving messengers, Xiang Mo looked at the entire battlefield again, and at the same time estimated the direction of the war in his mind.
In his opinion, as far as the current situation is concerned, his coalition forces actually have a slight upper hand. As long as they accumulate advantages little by little, these advantages will sooner or later become the winning factor to defeat Wei Wang Zhao Run.
