Chapter 670

It was said to be an ambush, but in fact the ambush point was half a mile away from the sidewalk made by the barbarians, and with the cover of the formation, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers of the barbarians to detect the ambushes on both sides.

The front of the barbarians were several teams of wolf cavalry, scattered forward, barely crossing the edge of the low-lying land. Because there are many hairy rocks in the low-lying land, the wolf's paws are easy to be injured when stepping on it. Coupled with the cover of the formation, these wolf riders subconsciously strolled around the low-lying edge and continued to move forward. The low-lying land was full of people hiding at this time.

After these spies had passed, the muffled sound of ground shaking was getting closer and closer, and everyone knew that the large army of barbarians had arrived.

Looking from a distance, a group of barbarians were trotting and marching in a hurry in the dark distance, and the flag should be a 10,000-person flag.

The orderly's palms were full of sweat, and his concentration was high. He needed to wait for the order from the general around him.

Getting closer and closer, relying on the probing ball, you can see that the barbarians used a long snake array for the convenience of traveling, five people in a row, and went out in a long row.

According to the distance between the queues, Zeng Zhou estimated that the formation should stretch out for three miles, or even four miles, and said yes in his heart. The thickness of the Long Snake Formation is the thinnest, and it has the least room for maneuver when facing two flanking attacks. The means arranged in advance on that sidewalk can also work better.

It's getting closer, and when the long barbarian formation has passed through more than half of the estimate, under Zeng Zhou's signal, the messenger lightly waved the command flag in his hand a few times, and a wave of special magic power was sent out .

Almost three breaths after the messenger delivered the order, soil thorns five or six feet long and as thick as a child's arm suddenly appeared on the long sidewalk, almost covering the road.

"kill!"

The ultimate move of the formation is first, using the very common but very practical "earth stab formation" in the army. It is arranged on the sidewalk in advance, and when the barbarians walk up, step on as many killing positions as possible and then activate it, reaching an instant The purpose of killing a large number of ordinary soldiers of the opponent.

The first ones to rush out of the killing range of the barbarian army were the physical trainers in the barbarian army. They ran extremely fast. Some stayed in place to call for the soldiers to retreat, and some rushed towards the Jingjiu army that appeared. A flanking attack in an attempt to delay an interception.

"Breaking Arrow!"

"Thunderbolt Talisman!"

The dense spell-breaking arrows blocked the advance of those body cultivators, and then under the bombardment of the rainstorm-like thunder talisman, those who survived were basically killed, and the monks from Jingying Mansion who were driven over finally No one was left alive after making up the knife.

The soil spur formation broke through and severely damaged the support army of the barbarians. They had no time to adjust the appropriate battle formation defense in a panic, and they were not good at battle formations, so the result can be imagined.

There are four intersecting diamond formations on the left and right sides, quickly narrowing the distance between the barbarian formations, and then directly interspersed, piercing through the opponent's thin formations and then wrapping them up.

As the sky brightened, Zeng Zhou took a look, and it was almost the beginning of the morning. The battle went better than he expected. At least 6,000 of the 10,000 barbarian reinforcements were killed, and the rest fled. Less than 200 people were killed and less than 10 people were seriously injured, and minor injuries were ignored. For the time being, there is no need to pursue the fleeing enemy and there is no time.

"There's no need to clean up the battlefield, let's march quickly, let's go to the next place!" Zeng Zhou was very busy, Zuo Yuliang sent them here because they were good at field combat and they were better at running on foot in the wild.

At the same time, two pieces of news about the success of the ambush here were passed on by Zeng Zhou himself with a thousand miles of notes. One copy will be transferred several times and finally reach the hands of Zuo Yuliang who is far away in Wuhu Lake. The other copy was passed directly to Shen Wanlin, the chief general of the military village in central Jianchuan.

Zeng Zhou hurried on his way, and even some of the monks who went ahead even put amulets on their legs, and some arrangements still needed to go there to make some preparations.

In the central military village, Shen Wanlin sat upright in the big tent, closed his eyes and rested his mind, fully armed and fully clothed.

Suddenly, the thousand-mile note trembled in his hand, and a piece of news arrived, which was exactly what Zeng Zhou had passed on before, just one sentence: the flag is triumphant!

After a glance, Shen Wanlin laughed, then stood up and walked out of the big tent quickly, waved his hand, and raised his voice: "Beat the drum! The whole army is attacking!"

The target of the Central Military Village is naturally the barbarians opposite them. It was these barbarians stationed opposite them who had sent more than 10,000 people to reinforce the siege of the army village in front of the gate.

Unlike Cheng Jinhou's advance in covert approach to start a war before, although Shen Wanlin's troops also came out with great fanfare. The momentum along the way was mighty, with the momentum of thunder. The barbarians on the opposite side had to arrange battle formations in advance to resist halfway. Because if the army camp is torn down, the barbarian's chances of winning are even lower.

"After fighting for so long, don't you know how many of you are there? The total number is less than 50,000 and less than 60,000. Now that you are sent out, you lose 10,000, and the rest is only a little over 40,000. Let's see you How long can it last!"

Shen Wanlin was riding on a horse, looking at the barbarians waiting in formation in the distance, with a sneer of disdain on his face. He now has a total of 50,000 troops, of which 30,000 are the original defenders of the Central Military Village, and the other 20,000 are from Li Zhongzheng's troops who have just arrived.

According to the comparison of the previous battle losses, Shen Wanlin is sure to wipe out the 40,000 barbarians in front of him with a loss of about 20,000 people. However, the Taoist chief yamen would definitely not be willing to bear such a large number of casualties after making such a big show, so Shen Wanlin's task for the time being is not to fight the barbarians on the opposite side, but to wait and wait for a more suitable time.

As a result, the intensity of the battlefield was extremely high, but there was no decisive victory. At least Li Zhongzheng's troops, who were behind the formation, never had a chance to go into battle.

The posture Shen Wanlin put on seemed to be trying to kill the barbarians on the opposite side.

Hit and stop, then hit again, then stop again. Clean up the corpses, and at the same time treat the wounded and fill the gaps in the battle. The stance that Jing Jiu put on to one side is definitely not like before, just fight and leave. It seems that he wants to decide the winner today!

At the same time, going further south, Jianchuan's lower military stronghold is also under the onslaught of the Jingjiu Dynasty, but their situation is much better than that of the upper and middle places, so they have already started fighting at the beginning of their battle. In one step, more than 10,000 soldiers were sent to reinforce the central part of Jianchuan, which was said to be "the main target of the human race".

Why did the barbarians decide that the central part of Jianchuan was the main attack point of the old Jing dynasty? The reason is that they believed that the previous attack in the upper part of Jianchuan was a feint attack, and the purpose was to attract reinforcements from the central part and reduce the strength of the central part. Now the Jingjiu Dynasty has an army of 50,000 to storm the central part, so it is natural to take advantage of the vacancy. Therefore, the upper part can only resist hard, while the middle part needs reinforcements from the lower part.

In fact, the judgment of the barbarians was not wrong. Zuo Yuliang's main target was indeed in the middle. But besides the main attack target, there will be another "siege and aid", which will involve the lower army camp also falling into the predicament of the upper army village.

At that time, the main force of the three barbarians in Jianchuan will be completely crucified, and then the real general attack will begin.
