Chapter 79 Dancing to Death
Hu Mubiao's entire army began to counterattack, chasing Zhang Chong's troops to the north. Even the defeated troops who regrouped under Wang Kuang's banner raised their arms and shouted, and the entire army was cheered up.
But in the chaotic battlefield, the proud Hu Mubiao did not see the changes.
Zhang Dan's troops, who had originally abandoned their spears and retreated to the rear of the formation, did not retreat again. Instead, they pulled out new spears from the baggage cart. These were prepared by Zhang Chong when he attacked Qinfeng's stronghold. Will come in handy.
Zhang Dan's tribe, who had obtained the new spears, began to regroup behind the formation. This time they formed a narrow square formation fifty people long and two people wide. Its length was longer than Hu Mubiao's formation, and then They began to press forward slowly.
The Li Damu and Ding Sheng tribes who were panicking over there did not retreat at all. They only retreated fifty steps and then separated from the middle to the two wings, revealing the real murderous intention behind them.
What they revealed was a well-armed and well-armed military formation, with its leader Zhang Chong prominently among them.
However, it turned out that when Xie Bi planned the military aircraft for Zhang Chongzan, he pointed out that the enemy was fighting with his back to the water. The stronger our army's offensive, the more desperate he was to survive. Therefore, it is better to attack than to lose. Our army pretends to retreat, and when the enemy takes advantage of the victory and pursues it, we can give them a blow in the head.
Those who don't know how to fight will definitely be overjoyed to hear Xie Bi's plan. But those who know the military will definitely not adopt Xie Bi's strategy.
Because this is the scholar's view, once it is implemented, it will inevitably end in misfortune.
Retreating in front of the formation is a taboo for military strategists. Once the front retreats, how will the rear know that you are luring the enemy? They just thought it was a real defeat at the front, so how could they not be afraid? This can easily lead to the collapse of the entire army.
But Zhang Chong used Xie Bi's strategy. It's not that he doesn't know the soldiers, but that he not only knows the soldiers but also knows himself. He is on the third level!
Whether a military strategy is effective or not depends on whether the soldier can execute it, and Zhang Chong is confident that this soldier under his command can definitely retreat before the formation without collapse.
Zhang Chong's confidence comes from living and dying together with the Pao Ze people in the past two years, sharing food and clothing.
It also comes from the phrase "Walking for Heaven", from the song "Raise weapons, exchange for peace, and restore the world to Qingming". His team is no longer just a begging army, but a righteous army!
A righteous teacher who punishes the people and eliminates violence and peace of mind!
This is also the reason why he only brought 300 veterans to attack Qin Feng despite being surrendered to Mount Tai and stealing two thousand soldiers. It was because he trusted them.
And this time he still believed that these subordinates would not abandon him!
Therefore, in front of the formation, he ordered the generals, Ding Sheng, and Li Damu's troops to attack Wang's tribe. When encountering Hu Mu's soldiers charging, they must retreat to lure the enemy, and then retreat to Qu's headquarters to reorganize on both wings, and launch a counterattack with the headquarters. .
Zhang Dan's troops must defend the left flank of Ding and Li's troops. Once Hu Mu's soldiers charge, they must also retreat to lure the enemy, retreat to the rear of the formation to reorganize, and then use a wide front to compress the space of Hu Mu's troops.
In the end, his men did it. They did not live up to Zhang Chong's trust, and now is the time for Zhang Chong to live up to their trust.
Zhang Chong's headquarters is walking on the left and riding on the right, with fifty colliding troops on the left and thirty assault cavalry on the right, arranged in three rows. Zhang Chong, who was at the head of the formation, began to sing:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world."
First Zhang Chong sang, then the soldiers sang, and finally the whole army sang together, and the entire battlefield was solemn!
What's going on?
Hu Mubiao, who was facing the opponent, suddenly saw this scene. The bandits who had been panicking had now rearranged themselves into a military formation, while his own troops fell apart due to the charge and could no longer form a formation.
Unfortunately, Hu Mubiao realized that he had been tricked and hurriedly wanted to call for gold, but it was too late.
I saw that Chen Huan, who had rested the longest, was no longer stingy with his strength and arrows at Sheshengtun. He was facing Hu Mubiao's skirmishers with a continuous rain of arrows. All the arrows were emptied directly, and the archers' arms were sore before they stopped.
Hu Mubiao's army formation kept ringing with screams. The river beach was now littered with arrows and corpses. The remaining troops hurriedly formed a military formation, and Zhang Chong led the assault cavalry over there.
For more than a year, Zhang Chong and the others had been fighting in mountainous areas and had not used the Cavalry much. However, the treatment of the Cavalry remained the same. Naturally, there were a lot of weird things about this situation.
Therefore, at this moment, all the warriors in the assault team are rushing to attack first, vowing to prove that they are still the first army of General Shi. At this moment, they rushed into Hu Mubiao's tribe like tigers and sheep, directly killing the three ranks of the army, especially the three cavalry generals Tian Jun, Ren Yun, and Xi Shen. They had been keen on Ding Sheng's achievements before, so they would naturally kill more fiercely. There are people hanging around in Shang Changjin right now!
In the end, Chang Jin couldn't pull it out, so they started to use iron bone flowers to hit Hu Mu's soldiers below.
Just like that, Daozhentun at the front collapsed!
Immediately afterwards, Gemaotun collapsed!
In the end, the Archer Tun, which lacked the courage to draw its sword, collapsed!
For a moment, Hu Mubiao's eyesight went dark. He could only gather six troops. Half of them were gone at this moment, and even those broken troops were still attacking his remaining military formation.
Hu Mubiao became fierce and ordered: Those who rebel against the army will die!
In this way, the remaining three military formations began to massacre their own troops in front of the formation. The defeated soldiers cursed, but it did not help at all. They had no choice but to run to the right and cross the river.
The collision team that had fallen behind the assault cavalry also arrived at this moment, and Chang Xi and Yu Jin were among them. At this moment, they were wrapped in armor and wielding axes. They didn't care about how Hu Mu's soldiers were poking at them, and they only focused on slashing wildly.
For a time, in front of the battle, people were heartbroken and their arms and limbs were broken. Mother Hu's soldiers could not withstand it and kept retreating.
At this time, Zhang Dan's spearmen, who were pressing from the front, also lined up.
The two armies faced one side and kept squeezing Hu Mu's soldiers on the small river beach. Mother Hu's army was last in the formation and was even treading in the water at this moment.
Hu Mubiao kept pushing Bubu in front and rushed over, but he was still squeezed behind him. He grabbed Gongsun Jiu next to him and angrily scolded him for rushing over. If he didn't rush over, he would kill him.
Gongsun Jiu's face turned pale at this moment, and he knew he could not refuse. He gritted his teeth, took his bow and shot at the collision team in front. However, before he could shoot two arrows, he was spotted by Xi Shen who was riding away.
Xi Shen was overjoyed and immediately took aim with his bow, sealing his throat with an arrow.
Gongsun Jiu died in the river valley.
Hu Mubiao didn't even care about the defeated Gongsun Jiu. He remembered that Wang Kuang still had a defeated army. He looked to the right and saw no one?
Look around again, hot girl, you Wang Kuang has already waded into the water to withdraw his troops.
Wang Kuang's withdrawal also took away Hu Mubiao's courage. He no longer cared about the life and death of his troops, but he still had to start wading across the river. Life was with him, and everything was with him.
But at this moment, a group of cavalry came from the gap on the right side of Hu Mubiao's formation, led by Zhang Chong wearing a red turban.
It turned out that not long after he led the cavalry into Hu Mubiao's formation, he broke out, bypassed the entire military formation, and started to charge from Hu Mubiao's unprepared right side.
This side was originally where Wang Kuang's defeated troops were stationed. Once he withdrew, it became empty.
Zhang Chong stared at Hu Mubiao who was already halfway across the river, and directly threw the horse silk in his hand over. Hu Mubiao was alert and evaded by turning sideways.
But because the armor was too heavy and Hu Mubiao moved too much, she fell directly into the water and never got up again.
Hu Mubiao died by swimming in the water.
Support Xiao Chen to fight against Sanjiang and his family.
