Chapter 667 Fierce Battle at Sanyuan Ridge (Part 2)
There were 5,000 Fang La troops hiding at the southern exit of Sanyuanling. However, they were not from Fang Shi Buddhas, but from Changshu City in front. The leader was Wen Lingda, the general of Changshu. They set up an ambush here entirely on the order of Pang Wanchun as the backup plan for this ambush. If Fang Shi Buddhas won a great victory here, they did not have to show up. However, once the battle situation changed, especially when the Song army wanted to forcibly break through the pass, this ambush could break out in time.
So when they suddenly appeared, even Fang Shifo and his subordinates were a little shocked, but then they shouted in surprise, shouting that reinforcements ahead would block the Song army's way. Although it was impossible for them to be clearly transmitted a few miles away because of the distance and the noisy environment on the battlefield, they still kept shouting loudly.
It was because Fang Shifo also realized that the Shandong army in front of him was far more terrifying than he had judged. He could still maintain a neat formation under such an ambush and choose the most reasonable tactics to exchange the casualties of a small number of soldiers and horses for the opportunity to break out of this danger, even if the elite troops under his command were difficult to do.
Thinking of the result of the Battle of Danyang that day, he became even more uneasy. Because once the Song army rushed out of the mountains and formed a formation in the wide plains ahead, he would completely lose the advantage he had worked hard to create and might be defeated by the enemy again. That is why he would do everything possible to force the Huainan army to attack the rear of the Shandong army. Coupled with the interception of the Changshu garrison in front and his own pursuit from behind, the Song army will be able to completely leave the Song army on this mountain!
When Sun Tu saw the troops coming out of the front, his heartbeat was half a beat faster. The other party locked the last way out. What should we do? What's even more troublesome is the Huainan army that was constantly rushing to death behind him. As they were about to rush into their own team, completely disrupting the formation of the entire army!
This is the terrifying thing about teammates like pigs on the battlefield than their god-like opponents. Because not only will they not cooperate with you, they will become a huge burden and can completely offset the little advantage you have finally established.
What's even more difficult is that at this time, Sun Tu could not order the Shandong army to turn the spear head and attack these Huainan army, who were previously comrades, otherwise his own army would have been shaken or collapsed. After all, this is inconsistent with the concept of the soldiers, and the enemy troops who came from behind could not give him time to clear the portal.
At this moment, the Shandong army was a little scared and confused. Many people looked at Sun Tu, waiting for their chief to create another miracle as before. Sun Tu suddenly had a sharp light in his eyes, and he decisively issued an order that made many people confused: "All the people, scattered left and right, and let the way forward!"
Even though many subordinates did not understand the intention of Sun Tu's order, their tacit understanding and habits over the years still allowed them to quickly take the order and follow them. While stopping the forward movement immediately, the entire army had quickly separated and flashed to the left and right sides. Even if there were constant arrows on both sides falling like rain, they did not let them retreat a step!
Just as the entire army separated and left the middle of the mountain road, the Huainan army that rushed in the front had already arrived. When they saw this scene and saw that there were enemies rushing towards them, many people stopped, and the terror on their faces became even stronger - there was blockage in front and pursuers behind, so now there was only one way to die!
But the comrades who were running behind could not let them stop and block their escape route. In just a moment, more people rushed over, and while running, they shouted: "Go forward quickly, the thief is coming!" The back team hit the front team, and actually knocked many comrades who were parked in the middle of the road and stepped on them.
Suddenly, screams were endless. The Huainan army, who had already lost their courage, no longer cared about their comrades under their feet, but kept moving forward, facing the enemies coming from the front and continuing to move forward. Because at this time, they were completely in a hurry to get rid of the tiger. Even if they were not chased by counterattack and killed, they would be squeezed and trampled to death by other comrades who were escaping. Since this is the case, it would be better to rush forward with all their might to see if they could fight out a bloody path.
So, a magical scene appeared on the Sanyuan Ridge—
The Huainan Army, who was chased by the enemy, had become a stray dog, scattered the Shandong Army in front like a wave, and then they all screamed, rushed straight towards the Changshu defenders who were blocking the front with red eyes. The Shandong Army, which was rushed away by them, stood firmly against the mountain wall, observing the battle situation and responding to the enemy troops on both sides, and actually defended steadily.
Fang Shifo's troops, who followed the last side and planned to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, were stunned at this time, because the result was too far from what they expected. The Shandong Army's choice was too strange, and people still couldn't come back to their senses.
Fang Shifo was shocked and showed fear and respect for the first time in his eyes, because he had seen how terrible the Shandong Army was. If he had led his army to face this situation, it would never be possible for the entire army to make such a straightforward move in just a moment to avoid the impact from the rear!
The way to disperse left and right and give up the middle lane is simple. But you should know that this is on the already narrow mountain road and a large number of troops. This order can be conveyed and implemented in a short period of time, which is enough to prove how strong compliance and trust this army has to the main general. He has truly achieved the same force as the arm-to-arm fingers to the entire army, which is exactly the highest level that many generals have hoped that they can reach since ancient times!
However, the current situation of war cannot tolerate Fang Shifo's remarks about this matter, because he found that the situation of the war had undergone a fundamental change at this moment. His family had changed from a pursuer to a prey in the eyes of the Song army, because the Shandong army had quickly turned around and gathered at this time, and rushed towards them.
It was not until this time that Fang Shifo suddenly realized that in order to achieve his achievements, he gave up his most favorable advantage and did not continue to bring people to harass him above. Instead, he summoned more than 80% of the people and pursued the enemy from the mountain road. In this way, when the enemy no longer escaped and suddenly returned with the momentum of fighting against the water, he could only simply compete with the combat power of both sides, without any tricks.
To be honest, he really didn't expect to end up like this, because in his opinion, after an ambush, all the Song army could do was to flee south or even collapse on the spot. Even if the other party really planned to fight to the death, it would be difficult to turn around. After all, the terrain here is not conducive to the turn of the team. Once the formation is in chaos, it will only lead to even more miserable death.
But obviously, the discipline of the Shandong Army was far beyond his expectations. Even in such an unfavorable situation, it could still turn back the entire army. Not only did the formation not change, but it burst out with a more terrifying momentum, like the waves slapped on the rocks turning back, which was even more powerful than the waves rushing forward.
The Fang La army, who was not mentally prepared, collided with the Shandong army in a panic. In just a moment, their formation was disrupted and broken, and a large number of soldiers were killed and overturned to the ground. The people behind were even more frightened and retreated, not daring to fight against this terrible enemy army head-on.
After discovering this, Fang Shifo's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was about to shed blood. This was a result that he could not accept. Even if he had miscalculated the reaction of Song Jun before, even if the enemy army seemed to be much stronger than he estimated, he would never allow himself to lose like this. You know, he had an absolute advantage in this battle!
"Kill!" With a loud roar, Fang Shi Buddha had waved his copper hammer and blew out like a whirlwind, rushing towards the largest flag in front of him, because he knew very well that this flag was the soul of the Song army, and there must be their chief generals below. As long as he was killed, the battle situation could be reversed again.
Sun Tu, who was under his command, still had a pale face after his injury, but his eyes were as cold as a knife. He immediately held the gun in his hand tightly and wanted to kill him.
But at this moment, the two of them shouted almost at the same time: "There is no need for the commander to take action, and then we will kill the enemy and destroy the thief!"
"The chief officer just cares about recuperating his wounds and waits for me to destroy the thief!"
Before the roar fell, the two cavalry had already rushed out like flying. It was Lu Junyi and Lin Chong who rushed out of the formation. Even Yue Fei beside Sun Tu looked eager to try. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity as a personal soldier, he would have rushed over.
Sun Tu smiled and let out a sigh of relief. With his two senior brothers leading the team back to rush back, there would be 80% chance of winning in this battle. After all, this battle is no longer a clever trick, and it depends on real rush. The elite soldiers and the bravery of the generals are the key to victory. In this world, the enemy that can withstand Lu Junyi and Lin Chong's joint attacks have never appeared.
Sure enough, once Lin Lu and the others rushed out, they were like a fire passing through the border, and instantly killed several enemy soldiers, and quickly suppressed the enemy troops who were still in battle. Then, Fang Shifo also roared and killed them, and the fierce generals of the two armies finally officially collided head-on!
With the roar, Fang Shi Buddha's copper hammer turned into a black light, and with a bang, he beat the Song army in front of him and threw it out. The person was in mid-air, screaming and bleeding, and his appearance was very miserable. This made other soldiers who had originally wanted to surround and kill him feel relieved and stopped.
Seeing this, Fang Shi Buddha was even more fierce. He smiled grimly and rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind. Two copper hammers rose and fell one after another, constantly bombarding all the enemies on the way forward, knocking more than 20 people to their bones and broken tendons, screaming in pain. The army, which was already indomitable, was killed by one of them and retreated.
As the number one powerful general in the Wu army, Fang Shifo's reputation was entirely achieved through bloody battles and no element of tricks.
Just as he was able to kill and advanced dozens of feet forward with an unstoppable momentum, scaring the warlike soldiers of Shandong Army that did not dare to fight, a Pu sword suddenly flashed out from the side. When he hit a soldier with another hammer, the blade slashed out like a train, hitting the accumulating hammer, blocking this deadly hammer
