Chapter 754: Gao Shun VS Wu Han
Chapter 754 Gao Shun VS Wu Han
Chapter 752: Gao Shun VS Wu Han
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 requested to lead a thousand troops to support the right wing.” Li Cunxiao said, holding his fists.
“Ran Min asks for orders to lead a thousand troops to support the left wing.” Ran Min said solemnly.
Neither of them wanted many soldiers and horses. After all, they also knew that if there were too many supporting soldiers and horses, the strength of the Chinese army would be weakened, 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. 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 about it, 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. Once I divide our troops, he will immediately pounce on me." Come up."
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking deeply, he realized that Bai Qi was right. Liu Xiu would never divide his troops again, because if he divided his troops, he would really be unable to stop the Qin army.
In this battle, both sides have abandoned intrigues, so there is no question of who is plotting against whom. Both sides are engaging in the most primitive collision, and only strength can win.
Bai Qi has seen through this a long time ago, so his first preparation was to defeat the enemy's center army. By 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 withstand an enemy force several times his own.
With Xu Chu and three thousand elite Tiger Guards on the left wing, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they will 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. He not only killed the two princes, but also blocked the enemy's reinforcements, which became the biggest problem in the battle. surprise.
Now that the left and right wings are in a stalemate, Bai Qi naturally wants to save his troops so that he can attack Liu Xiu's central army.
Liu Xiu's central army still has 35,000 soldiers and horses. Bai Qi has taken away 5,000 troops from Huang Zhong, and Xu Chuwenpin has taken away 8,000 troops. Currently, 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 battalions, 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, Bai Qi would still not be deterred even if he had 60,000.
Bai Qi swept over the generals and said in a deep voice: "Victory or defeat depends on this. Gao Shun, you lead the three thousand trapped camp as the vanguard, Ran Min, you lead ten thousand elites to follow closely."
“No.” Gao Shun and Ran Min responded together.
It was just a matter of time before it stood still. As soon as it started, it dispatched 13,000 troops to attack Liu Xiuzhong's army with the most fierce force.
On the coalition side, Liu Xiu saw that Bai Qi's troops were finally attacking his center, and immediately ordered: "Where is Wu Han?"
“The end will be here.” Wu Han stood up and responded.
“Now I order you to take charge of the front army and be sure to block the enemy’s army.”
Wu Han once beheaded Miao Zeng and Xie Gong, pacified the peasant armies such as Tongma and Qingdu, and successively wiped out separatist forces such as Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Gongsun Shu, and Lu Fang. It can be seen that he was a marshal with high commander-in-chief talents.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, Wu Han was appointed as Grand Sima, ranking second among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai.
Such a general who knows the troops and is good at fighting, commanding a superior force with more enemies and fewer enemies, is theoretically impossible to fail. Unfortunately, he encountered a trap.
Looking at the enemy troops not far away who were walking 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, and the trapped camp really lived up to its reputation. “Archers at the ready.”
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 for a while.
“Raise your shield.”
"ha…"
Following Gao Shun's order, the soldiers in the trapped camp uniformly raised their shields to their heads.
The 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 suddenly shrank, and then he ordered again: "The rear row shoots upward, the front row shoots straight, release arrows."
A sneer flashed across Gao Shun's lips and he shouted: "Shield formation."
“Ding dong, Gao Shun’s skill ‘Entrapment’ 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 legendary troops trained by Gao Shun himself, Launched when fighting in a trapped camp, with the same number of people, it is invincible."
“Ding dong, after activating ‘Entrapment’, the command +4 and the force +2 will be increased. Gao Shun’s basic command is 92, and the current commander has been raised to 96; Gao Shun’s basic force is 93, the equipment is +2, and the current force has been raised to 97.”
Originally, Gao Shun's peak basic command was 91, and his force was 92. However, in the past few years as Qin Hao conquered the east and west, Gao Shun not only reached his peak, but his command and force were also increased by 1 point. Reaching Commander 92 and Force 93, this progress is indeed great.
“Ding dong, the effect of ‘trap’ is activated. The morale, force, physical strength, cooperation, and tacit understanding of the trapped camp will increase.”
“The ambition to be trapped in the battle will lead to death but not life.”
The roars of the three thousand soldiers trapped in the camp were simply louder than the shouts of 30,000 soldiers!
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. This way 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 they could defend themselves against arrow attacks in all directions. If this continued, they would hit the Chinese army's formation directly.
“Cavalry attack.” Wu Han ordered.
Of course, this is 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 2,000, but this does not mean that Liu Xiu does not have cavalry.
You must know that Liu Xiujun came from the Liangzhou Army, and Dong Zhuo's gift to Liu Xiu included three thousand Xiliang cavalry.
Among Liu Xiu's 35,000 central army, there are 5,000 cavalry alone. This is the only force that can threaten the Qin army.
