Chapter 228: Decisive Battle Cang County
Henghai and Cangxian, two armies are preparing to make a final desperate attempt.
Zhu Shou did not do any temptation, nor did he do any futile acts of harassing, attacking, or encircling troops.
In the face of the opponent's absolute cavalry advantage with Chengde Wolf Cavalry as the main force, any such division of troops will be taken advantage of by the enemy and weaken his already poor force again.
Relying on Cang County, tens of thousands of troops were lined up in front of the city. He wanted to gather all his troops to fight Li Ze Cao Xin to the death. The winner won everything, and the loser had nothing.
Zhu Shou put all his chips on the gambling table.
As a former powerful man in Henghai, just like more than ten years ago, he went alone and gathered his own family soldiers and tenants to fight with the rebellious peasant uprising army. However, that time, he won the bet and won the territory of the four states of Henghai for the Zhu family.
Therefore, he never lacks the courage to gamble.
Although the enemies are much stronger than those at that time, I am now no longer the powerful Cang County tycoon.
Standing on the top of the city and looking at the square formations formed by tens of thousands of troops under the city, a sense of pride arose.
Zhu has been in the world for dozens of days, how could he let a Huangkouru bully?
Li Ze was a little excited and a little afraid. The other party had gathered nearly 50,000 troops, and if he had the government soldiers, he had almost 30,000 troops and nearly 100,000 troops. Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was not a small-scale war.
Although the battle has not begun, Li Ze knows that there will be countless warriors' heroic souls here today, and all of this is just a command from his own.
In order to complete the strategy he formulated, tens of thousands of soldiers were put on the battlefield and fought bravely.
Now he really fully understood why the so-called superiors must be trembling, thinking about the past and later, and sometimes even being indecisive.
After all, the wealth and life of tens of thousands or even more people relies on your body. The silent pressure is enough to crush a person who is not tenacious enough.
Li Ze has enough psychological endurance. In his previous life, he also waved his hand and threw billions or even more funds onto the battlefield without hesitation, in the same way to defeat the enemy. However, at that time, all he saw was the change in the numbers displayed on the screen. As for whether Xiaohong was in the reality, he could not see it or wanted to see it at all.
But today, what he wants to see is just a bloody reality.
It is normal to have some fear.
Today, he is just a spectator.
He handed over the command to Cao Xin.
He really has no confidence in whether he can control all aspects of such a huge battlefield.
The Yizhou Army was divided into three major parts.
The left wing is the Wuyi army led by Shi Zhuang. These people are all from Li Ze's hometown and were trained by Li Ze in Wuyi.
On the right wing are the Yizhou soldiers who were originally Cao Xin, and now they are all handed over to Tu Lichun.
In the middle, there are Li Ze's personal guard camp, Cao Xin's personal guard camp, Modao team, and Chengde Lang Cavalry.
These troops are now all handed over to Min Rou to lead.
A tall platform built overnight is the current residence of Cao Xin and Li Ze. The two of them are high above, and the place they stand is not lower than the city, looking down at the entire battlefield.
Cao Xin smiled and looked back at Li Ze sitting aside. Although the young master looked very calm, the blue veins on the hands that were on the armrest of the chair were exposed, which still revealed the tension in his heart.
In fact, Li Ze's current performance has made Cao Xin look at him with great admiration.
After all, visiting the battlefield in person is completely different from performing map deductions in the room.
In map deduction, what everyone sees is just a small flag without life. The increase in the loss of troops is just the numbers popping out of the mouths of the generals.
But now, nearly 100,000 people on both sides are preparing to fight for life and death. The evil aura that belongs only to the battlefield is enough to scare people who have never been on the battlefield to fight and be indifferent to each other.
Cao Xin has already seen Li Ze's ability to grasp the overall situation. His high-level demeanor and accuracy of standing at a high place to examine the entire world from a high place, which made Cao Xin sigh. Today, he saw another side of Li Ze.
After experiencing this time, I believe that with Li Ze's insight, even if he encounters a bigger battle scene in the future, it will be a piece of cake for him.
In fact, the most difficult thing to fight is this kind of battlefield, which is not big or small. When both sides meet, they test the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers, the control of the frontline generals over the soldiers, and the commander's ability to grasp the changes in the battlefield.
If it is the kind of person who invests more troops and fights on a broader battlefield, it is even more necessary to have a natural sensitivity to the overall form like Li Ze.
As for the battlefield as small as a few thousand people, it all depends on the ability of the combat generals.
"Young Master, let's start!" Looking at the flags waving on the left and right wings, Cao Xin smiled and said to Li Ze.
"You are the chief general, I am the spectator!" Li Ze said with a smile, "Let me see Cao Gong's style today."
Cao Xin laughed, pulled out a black flag from the rows of small flags in front of him, and waved it hard.
In front of the platform, a flag bearer holding a huge black flag immediately waved the flag in his hand vigorously. At the same time, more than a hundred war drums sounded pounding.
The right wing did not move and the central army did not move. The one who took the lead in the deployment was Shi Zhuang's left wing.
The clothes of Wuyi Bing were completely different from the costumes of all Tang soldiers in this era.
The Tang army was still red, so no matter which Jiedu governor, their soldiers were all red, but Li Ze's Wuyi soldiers were black from the beginning.
Therefore, the black flag also represents the Wuyi army.
If Cheng Delang Cavalry is aside, the Modao Team and Li Ze's personal military camp will not speak, and the Wuyi soldiers led by Shi Zhuang are much stronger than Cao Xin's own Yizhou soldiers. Even if Cao Xin is unwilling to accept this, he has to admit it.
He had also seen this in Shenzhou. The guy named Hu Shier just applied the Wuyi Bing's set to the Shenzhou Bing with slight changes and could immediately stand out.
Zhu Shou obviously didn't understand this.
He placed his main force in the direction of the central army and his left wing facing Tu Lichun.
The troops who deal with Shi Zhuang were obviously one level behind.
Li Ze has been effective in infiltration of Henghai over the years. He knew exactly which troops were better at fighting and which generals were more capable in Henghai over the years. Today, Cao Xin stepped onto the high platform and compared it with a little comparison, and immediately made a basic judgment on the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
The right-wing general in Henghai is called Liu Chong. He is brave and brave, but that's all.
Li De took the lead in attacking.
More than a thousand rangers flew forward, and their horses hung a lot of fragments, including small hammers covered with barbed ones, small iron axes of horses, and even stones covered with small nets.
More than a thousand cavalry charged suddenly, with amazing momentum.
Behind them, the thousand soldiers led by Chen Congxing trotted and followed. Even if they run, they still maintain a neat formation. Behind them was Shi Zhuang leading another thousand soldiers. As for the five thousand soldiers under Shi Zhuang's command, they slowly followed up under the control of Chen Changfu and Chen Changgui.
The breaking of the formation is based on armored soldiers and government soldiers, which is just used to add icing on the cake.
In the horizontal sea formation, drums and horns sounded, and in the front, rows of large shields suddenly stood up. After the large shields, spears protruded out to form a forest of guns. In the back, countless large bows had already pulled the bowstrings, and the arrows of feather arrows flashed with faint light, looking up at the sky.
The first to launch an attack was the crossbows in the Henghai Formation.
This small crossbow cannon can fire crossbow arrows and stone bombs. In this era, it is considered a heavy weapon among all weapons.
Accompanied by the roar, the crossbow arrows, the stone bullets, and the feather arrows suddenly darkened the sky. At this moment, Li De's rangers turned into two columns, trying their best to turn their formation into one line and reduce the impact on the surface.
On the platform, the muscles on Li Ze's face twitched a few times, because he saw that in this round of attack, at least dozens of people in his rangers collided and dismounted.
The rangers were extremely fast. Even though they lost dozens of people, they did not stop at all. When they arrived in front of the formation, the two columns drew a perfect arc, one left and one right. At this moment, they threw out their hammer, axe, and stone with all their strength.
These attack weapons crossed the big shield and smashed into the spear forest behind the big shield. Screams immediately sounded one after another. After throwing the fragments in their hands, the two cavalry did not stop, but continued to move forward and to the left and right sides of the enemy's phalanx. This time, they launched an assault on the phalanx without fear of death.
The front of the phalanx is where the enemy has the tightest defense and the strongest firepower, while the two wings are too weak. Except for shield hands and spearmen, even archers are rare.
The cavalry, along with people and horses, ran wildly with the momentum that came in a wildly collision is the dream of all defenders. They cannot retreat, nor can they retreat.
With a loud bang, the horse fell down, the shield broke, and the person died.
A big hole was broken at almost the same time.
However, Liu Chong's attention was still on the front battlefield. Even if the left and right wings were broken by the cavalry, it would be difficult to cause a lot of damage. On the contrary, the frontal collision of Wuyi infantry was even more threatening.
The shield was against the shield, and horizontal swords were inserted into the gap of the shield, and countless spears poked in the air. This was a battle of courage between the two sides.
Cao Xin just observed for a moment, then turned around and shook the little red flag in his hand.
Immediately, Tu Lichun's right-wing drums and roars rang and began to slowly press forward.
They were not like Shi Zhuang's troops. When they attacked, they would be like lightning and thunder, and they would be beating drums, shouting horns, and advancing step by step.
