Chapter 719

Tang Yin said that the An army was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It was not just a bluff. In his opinion, the An army's formation was too large, so large that it was beyond the An army's actual control ability. Read the full text. .

Such a large camp formation, with so many trenches and earth walls, can play a good defensive role and block the enemy, but at the same time, it also blocks the An army itself.

Once a certain place is broken through, the An army in other places cannot provide quick reinforcements.

Fighting in such a camp formation, the An army is like fighting on its own. Although there are many soldiers, they cannot gather together. During the battle, as long as one of their elite troops can break in, they can directly attack the center of the An army.

Take the last confrontation as an example. If it weren't for the two disciples of Huangfu Xiutai who came out to stop Qi Heng, and really let him lead his army to penetrate deep into the An army camp, the An army would actually have a hard time dealing with it.

Tang Yin is now a veteran who has been through many battles. He only needs to inspect the enemy's formation to make a rough judgment of its advantages and weaknesses.

After returning to the camp, Tang Yin went back to his tent to rest. The next morning, Tang Yin went up to the tent, summoned all the generals, and began to deploy the troops.

His tactics were almost exactly the same as Wu Ying's tactics at the beginning. He also divided his troops into three routes to attack the enemy formation from three sides. However, none of them was a feint attack, and all of them were main attacks.

He ordered Jiang Fan to be the vanguard of the left route, commanding 30,000 direct troops to attack the right wing of the enemy formation, Qi Heng to be the vanguard of the right route, leading 30,000 direct troops to attack the left wing of the enemy formation, and Liu Zhang's new army to be the central army, advancing from the front and attacking the enemy formation.

Tang Yin gave all the orders in one breath, and then announced that the whole army would go to battle.

Under Tang Yin's deployment and orders, the Feng Army's strong attack once again kicked off.

As the drums of war thundered, the new army, as the central army, took the lead in blowing the horn of attack. Liu Zhang ordered that all the catapults and city-breaking crossbows of the entire army be placed in front of the formation to first attack the defense of the An army to the maximum extent.

Soon, the catapults and city-breaking crossbows of the Feng army began to be launched together. Stone bullets were sent up to the sky with a whistle, and then fell from the air with a whistle, hitting the earth wall, and the earth was flying, and screams continued.

The crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow almost ignored the obstruction of the earth wall. One arrow shot out, often nailing a big round hole in the earth wall, and the An army hiding behind the wall was directly smashed with people and armor.

With the continuous attack of the catapults and city-breaking crossbows, the defense of the front of the An camp was already riddled with holes. At this time, Liu Zhang ordered the whole army to advance. As the commander-in-chief, he did not stay behind to hold the formation, but followed the soldiers below to rush forward.

Liu Zhang was not a general of letters. He was from an orthodox Lingwu Academy. He had strong Lingwu and cultivation. When fighting, he would often lead the troops and stand at the forefront. Moreover, Tang Yin was personally supervising the battle, so he had to perform even harder.

When the advancing Feng Army entered the trench, the counterattack of the An Army on the opposite side also began. They used the same catapults, the same city-breaking crossbows and army-breaking crossbows, and used stone bullets and crossbows to attack the advancing Feng Army. The large weapons of both sides were used back and forth. Stone bullets and crossbows shuttled over people's heads. The screams and cries of soldiers were heard from both sides of the battlefield.

The Feng Army's initial advance was still very calm. When crossing the trench, the soldiers could jump in first and then slowly climb up. However, as the An Army launched a comprehensive counterattack, the Feng Army's advance speed also accelerated. People had no time to jump into the trench, so they directly laid the cloud ladder on it and used it as a bridge.

The closer they got to the An army's camp, the more fierce the An army's counterattack became. When the vanguard of the Feng army was a hundred steps away from the An army's camp, the An army's arrow array also arrived.

Dense arrows flashed in the air, like a cloud passing by, and then fell on the Feng army's camp. The Feng army soldiers who were advancing on the cloud ladder fell to the ground in groups. Many people fell from the cloud ladder into the trench like hedgehogs.

Due to the large number of casualties, the trench where the arrows were concentrated was gradually filled with the bodies of the Feng army, and the soldiers behind could run directly over the bodies. A corps went up, and when it withdrew, there were less than a thousand people.

Liu Zhang, who had never experienced such a bloody battle, also had red eyes, and shouted to Xiong Gu beside him: "Xiong Gu, you go up, open a hole in the enemy's camp for me first!"

Xiong Gu said nothing, picked up the spirit knife and ran forward. Along the way, he didn't remember how many arrows he blocked from the An army, and how many arrows he was shot at. When he rushed to the first earth wall, his spiritual armor was already covered with cracks.

He roared in front of the earth wall, exerted all his strength, and inserted the spiritual sword into the earth wall. With a plop, the entire spiritual sword almost sank into the earth wall, leaving only the handle exposed. At the same time, a scream from the An army soldier came from behind the wall.

Xiong Gu jumped up, stepped hard on the handle on the earth wall with his toes, and jumped up again with the force. He was already standing on the earth wall. The An army behind the earth wall was also startled, and the archers raised their bows and arrows.

But before they could shoot, Xiong Gu had already jumped down from the earth wall.

Plop! Xiong Gu, who fell into the crowd, knocked down several An soldiers at once. Without pausing for a moment, he immediately turned over and stood up from the ground, grabbed a long spear, and stabbed the An soldiers around him.

For a moment, shouts rang out from behind the earth wall, and blood arrows spurted into the air from time to time. Taking advantage of Xionggu's disruption of the enemy troops behind the earth wall, the soldiers of the Feng army climbed up along the cloud ladders, and then jumped off the earth wall to fight with the An army behind the wall.

The red-eyed Fengjun are extremely ferocious, each one is like a bloodthirsty beast. Even if the enemy is so frightened that they drop their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy, they will still raise their weapons without hesitation and give the opponent the most fatal blow. .

An Jun is not suitable for close combat, not to mention that his opponent is Feng Jun who is good at close combat!

Seeing that a large number of Feng troops were approaching, the remaining An soldiers gave up their resistance and began to turn around and run back.

How could Xiong Gu miss such an opportunity? He led the Feng army to pursue and kill them, using the retreating An army as a shield to kill the enemy. Just as Tang Yin expected, the An army's camp was too large and the defenses were too complete. While effectively blocking the enemy's attack, it also blocked their own mutual reinforcements.

At this time, Xiong Gu led the Feng Army to break through the earth wall of the An Army, but the An Army on both sides could not rush over for reinforcements at the first time. When the reinforcements arrived, the earth wall here had been completely occupied by the Feng Army. An Jun, who finally ran over, was beaten back by Feng Jun.

Speaking of Xionggu, he ignored the enemy troops on the left and right sides and used all his strength to chase down the Anjun deserters. When the Anjun deserters fled to the second layer of earth wall, he also rushed up.

The An army here also did not dare to engage in close combat with the Feng army, and ran back together with the An army that had just been defeated.

Just like this, Xiong Gu didn't remember how many earth walls built by An Jun he had broken through. When he realized that his breakthrough seemed to be too deep, he looked up and saw that he could already see ahead. The Anjun commander's flag is erected high.

Yo! He actually hit near the enemy's central army! Realizing this, even Kumagai himself was quite surprised.

He cheered up, looked at the tired and breathless Feng soldiers behind him, and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy's central army is in front, everyone follow me in and kill the enemy commander's head!"

"Kill——" The word "cowardly" has never been mentioned in Feng Jun's dictionary. As long as the general dares to charge forward, they dare to follow him, no matter how many and strong the enemy forces are in front.

Xiong Gu nodded, threw away the broken spear in his hand, picked up a sword with a good steel mouth, shook his hand to spiritualize it, and then without any further delay, led a group of soldiers and headed straight for the commander-in-chief of An Jun ahead.

At this moment, an army of An troops came forward, led by a general who was tall and burly, wearing white spiritual armor, a blood-red cloak on his back, and holding a long spiritual spear in his hand. He looked mighty. Majestic.

Ah! Xiong Gu secretly laughed in his heart. It turned out that not all Anjun ran away when they met, but there were still some who dared to come out and fight. He rushed forward several steps and shouted: "Come on, the general will be named!"

"I am Su Yang of Anguo!" As he spoke, General An rushed to Xionggu, raised his gun and smashed it. Xiong Gu sneered: "Never heard of it!" At the same time, he raised the spiritual sword in his hand and took the opponent's spiritual spear forcefully.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, Xiong Gu was knocked back three steps by Su Yang's powerful and heavy shot. His arms felt numb as if they were electrified.

This man has so much strength! He was secretly frightened, put away his contempt, shook his swollen and numb arm, and fought Su Yang with his sword.

Su Yang is one of the few fierce generals in Anguo. He is brave and good at fighting, and has high spiritual strength. Xiong Gu only stood with him for more than ten rounds, and he already felt that it was difficult.

While the two of them were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, another general came out from An's army. This was none other than another fierce general of An's army, Qin Feng.

It is somewhat far-fetched to include Qin Feng among the fierce generals. His greatest strength is not in close combat, but in his superb archery skills.

Almost at the same time as the arrows and bows bounced, someone from behind Feng Jun shouted: "Be careful, Xiong Gu——"

Hearing the cry, Xiong Gu, who was fighting fiercely with Su Yang, realized that something was wrong, but the spiritual arrow shot by Qin Feng had already flown in front of him.

Xiong Gu was shocked and instinctively pressed down the spirit sword in his hand to block the flying cold arrows. His spiritual sword hit Leng Jian, but it only missed the direction of Leng Jian. There was a muffled sound in his ear, and the spiritual arrow shot by Qin Feng was nailed to Xiong Gu's thigh.

The latter grunted in pain and involuntarily took three big steps back. But before he could stand firm, Su Yang's spirit spear had already swept across.
