Chapter 153: The Drums of War

The war is rising.

Duan Wencao suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city, and a strong sense of ominousness surged in his heart. If Xu Shiren betrayed me, if Xu Shiren had been helping the thieves deceive me, if the rebels in the city came out and attacked me with the white-haired thief, what would the result?

Duan Wencao dared not think about it. The lucky thing that had been in his heart before disappeared in an instant. Without luck, Duan Wencao became more and more calm. Now that the knife has been unsheathed and the arrow has been in the string, even if the battle situation is extremely unfavorable to him, even if he is about to be attacked by the thief army, he will not have time to make any arrangement adjustments. As for withdrawing from the battlefield, he doesn't have to think about it, and he can only fight to the death.

"I ordered all the siege regiments to pay close attention to the movements in the city. If the thieves in the city take the opportunity to break through, they will be repelled at all costs."

After Duan Wencao issued this order, he estimated that the reserve troops he could call were very small. In this way, the troops he deployed on the front battlefield not only had no advantage, but instead, because of the excessive weakness of the left and right wings, the thieves had a chance to break through.

"Tell the left and right wings to quickly move closer to the central army, form a formation to defend, and be sure to block the attacks of the thieves and ensure the safety of the central army's wings."

Duan Wencao pondered for a moment and then gave another order, "I urgently sue the Niu Ying attack, the situation of the war has changed, and our army may be attacked by thieves from the front. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, we should defend with all our might in the front and resolutely block the thieves. After our rear army defeated the thieves in the city, we should launch a counterattack."

The commander rushed away and disappeared into the battle formation in a blink of an eye.

Duan Wencao looked up at the sky again. Three waves of beacon smoke had soared into the sky, and was shocked.

At this moment, the earth-shaking sound of war drums came from the front, and followed the sound of killing passing through the battlefield like thunder. Duan Wencao's face suddenly changed, he straightened his body, focused his attention, and looked forward from the temporary wooden platform. The thief army attacked, and attacked the entire line, rushed over like a tide.

What kind of fighting method is this? Duan Wencao was confused. He had no rules at all. He rushed up in a swarm, looking amazing, but in fact there was no threat. However, this was in line with the style of a thief with no combat experience. No, there was a white-haired thief in front of him. This thief had outstanding strategy, so how could he make such a low-level mistake? There must be a fraud in this. The sharp blade in the hand of the white-haired thief must be hidden behind this messy attack, waiting for him to lose his vigilance and launch a fatal blow.

Duan Wencao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. When he met a strong opponent, he had not experienced this feeling of suffocating tension for many years. Where is the attack direction of the white-haired thief? Or the left and right wings? Someone didn't want to fight head-on, and the white-haired thief also didn't want to fight head-on. Now he used this comprehensive attack to hide his main force, which was obviously to avoid the real and make the false.

Duan Wencao felt heartbroken and even felt dizzy in an instant. He was wrong, and his decisive battle was wrong.

"Transfer the order, the left and right wings accelerate toward the central army, fast, fast!" Duan Wencao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Transfer the orders to the east and south, and immediately dispatch troops to support the two wings of our central army."

As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger had not turned his horse's head yet, he heard the sound of fierce war drums coming from the city, as if countless spring thunders were exploding over the city, giving people a sense of shock like the earth shaking.

Oops, the thieves in the city began to break through.

A hint of panic flashed through Duan Wencao's eyes. It was too fast, the war smoke rose, the war drums beat, and the thieves were too tacit to cooperate. Suddenly, he even punched him out of the guard. How could this be possible? How did the white-haired thieves do it? Why did the thieves in Han Jinluo trust him so much?

Duan Wencao realized that he had made a huge mistake, because he had overbearing the conflict between the Qi people and the Chu people, and believed that there was a fierce conflict between the thieves' army. As a result, he had never considered that the thieves would work together to fight to the outside world at the critical moment of life and death. It was too late and he was already attacked from both sides. Now he had to fight with all his might, and he would fight back to the white-haired thieves at all costs, and at the same time he tried his best to prevent the thieves from breaking through. In this way, there was still a possibility of reversing the situation.

"I urgently sue the Niuying attack. The thieves in the city are breaking through. Our army is being attacked from both sides and the situation is in danger." Duan Wencao decisively ordered, "At this moment, only by breaking the boat, defeating the white-haired thieves, and cutting off the last hope of the thieves in the city, can our army reverse the situation."

Duan Wencao regretted it. If he had known this, it would be better to accept Niu Jinda's suggestion and take down Ningyang City early. Although the losses in the attack would be huge, as long as thousands of thieves in the city were surrendered, their strength would be restored soon. More importantly, it could make itself firmly grasp the initiative. Now that he is in extreme passiveness and extremely dangerous, he may not be able to turn danger into safety even if he pays a heavy price.

Niu Jinda in the front line battle formation was even more panicked. His ominous premonition had become a reality. He felt that at this moment he was like duckweed struggling in a flood, and there would be a catastrophe at any time. He wanted to grab a life-saving straw, but looking around, there was a thief everywhere, and there was no straw to catch.

Why did the battle lose control at the moment of fighting? What amazing magical power did the white-haired thief use to control the battle in a short period of time?

Niu Jinda had no time to find the answer, and he fell into the most sinister dilemma since he joined the army. He used all his strength to command the soldiers under his command to fight bloody battles.

Li Fengyun exerted his strength, and the elite troops of the Cangtou Army of six regiments launched a crazy attack on the right wing of the official army like roaring tigers.

This is Li Fengyun's request. The attack must be crazy and must sacrifice one's life. Before the attack was first met, the right wing of the official army must be destroyed in the shortest time, and then tear open the central defense of the official army and give the official army a fatal blow.

Li Fengyun cannot guarantee that the rebels in the city will come out at the beginning of the attack, and cannot guarantee that the four heroic generals including Han Jinluo will not miss the opportunity, nor can they guarantee that the rebels in the city will do their best to attack. If the rebels in the city fail to break through the blockade of the official army as quickly as possible and kill Duan Wencao's "back", then the Cangtou Army and the Jiyin Army will definitely fall into a hard battle on the decisive battlefield. The cost of hard battle is too high, and the Cangtou Army cannot afford it, and the Jiyin Army will evacuate quickly, and in the end it will fail.

It is better to seek oneself than to seek others. Only by controlling one's own destiny can one be invincible. If the Cangtou Army wants to win this decisive battle, it can only attack crazy.

The attack works quickly.

The soldiers of the Cangtou Army, who had experienced the baptism of war, have long been accustomed to bloody killing and have long ignored life and death. Li Fengyun's long-standing devilish training has turned the boatman sailors and sailors, as well as the pampered Yingyang Guards, into murder machines. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of those soldiers of the village group with honest and honest civilian youth and strong as the main force is much worse. What's more serious is that since the founding of the army, Duan Wencao has had a sharp deterioration in the situation and has too busy official duties and has no time to supervise.

Promote the army to conduct large-scale combat training. In today's decisive battle, the two sides participated in the battle with more than 10,000 troops, and they fought against each other on a battlefield that was several miles wide. The soldiers' ability to fight in front of the battle, the skill of changing combat formations, the tacit cooperation between the regiments and brigades, as well as the soldiers' ability to adapt to fierce battles and teamwork spirit. The Cangtou Army has a very high requirement in terms of comprehensive combat power than the Lu Army, which is an important reason why the Cangtou Army quickly seized the initiative at the beginning of the war.

Duan Wencao watched his right wing collapse.

Li Fengyun avoided the real and went to the weak, attacked the enemy in a bad manner, and fought accurately, ruthlessly and fiercely. The official army caught him off guard. He never expected that their opponent would change from the vulnerable Jiyin Rebel Army to the powerful Cangtou Army. What made the official army complained was that they were ordered to move closer to the central army because they wanted to seize time and speed, and the battle formation could not be stable and became very chaotic. But at this moment, the elite Cangtou Army of six regiments rushed up, and the five hundred officials were unable to resist, and the battle formation was instantly broken. The official army that lost the battle formation was equivalent to the soldiers who had lost their shields. Facing the "arrow" that was hit, they could only wait for death helplessly.

The right wing of the official army collapsed, and the flanks of the Lu army lost protection and were exposed to the attack of the Cangtou army.

Duan Wencao has only two regiments of reserve troops except his own personal guards. Fortunately, both regiments are Yingyang Guards and have good combat effectiveness. However, if the reserve troops of these two regiments are thrown into the army now, then when the situation of the battle changes again, Duan Wencao will have no choice.

Duan Wencao turned around and looked behind him, hoping to see the besieged troops sending reinforcements as soon as they received his order, but he was disappointed. He saw that the rebels' battle flag had appeared in his sight. The rebels had left the city, but his own battle flag was a little chaotic. The war flag was in chaos, which means that there was a problem with the battle formation. Why did the battle formation have problems? Duan Wencao's heart hurt even more. It must be because of his order that the besieged troops sent reinforcements, but before the reinforcements had left the battle formation, the rebels in the city rushed out and caught the besieged troops off guard.

It was too fast, the situation of the battle changed too fast, and it changed drastically from the beginning, so it did not give the official army any time to react.

Duan Wencao shook his head and sighed, being careless and underestimated by the enemy, and he took it upon himself. Thinking of being defeated by a white-haired thief and now walking on the ancient plank road of Bashu, Duan Wencao couldn't help feeling sympathy. Immediately, his fighting spirit was born, and his decades of military career tempered his heart as solid as a rock. How could such a small setback be defeated?

"Transfer an order to invest all the troops and advance along the right wing of the middle lane. Even if all casualties and injuries are all, we must ensure the safety of the middle lane flank." Duan Wencao ordered decisively, "Whoever retreats in the face of the battle will be killed!"

"Order the Cow Eagle to attack, form a formation to defend to the death, and block the attack of the thief army at all costs."

"I ordered all the troops in the siege to fight bloody battles at this critical moment. Even if one soldier and one soldier fight, we must firmly block the thief army's breakthrough. Anyone who fails to attack or fight passively and keeps the thief fleeing will be killed!"

At the same time, Li Fengyun is also issuing a series of orders.

"Order Xu Shisan and Hai Dongqing to immediately lead the army to attack the enemy's flag, threaten the enemy's command center, and disrupt the enemy's command."

"Order Lu Mingxing and Guo Ming to take advantage of the opportunity of losing protection on the enemy's middle flank, command the main force brigade to attack fiercely, and tear open the enemy's middle defense as soon as possible."

"Order Han Yao to immediately lead his army to attack the enemy's middle lane, and cooperate with our middle lane Yuegao, Haidongqing and Jiyin army regiments to attack the enemy's middle lane, and strive to break through the enemy's middle lane in the shortest time and give Duan Wencao a fatal blow."

Under the blue sky, the battle flags of both sides were rushing, and the soldiers of both sides met in close contact, and the battle became fierce.
