Qian Hong really didn't understand why Huo Yi appeared on the flank of the Han army's positions?

It is not surprising that Huo Yi, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, took advantage of his rich experience to command operations, adjust and change formations, and let the soldiers of the Han army with strong troops defend his safety.

But what the hell is Huo Yi personally led 3,000 soldiers to form a formation on the left wing of the Han army? Set a target to fight the Wei army? When the Wei army attacked the left wing of the Han army, Huo Yi's position was in a hurry, Zhang Zhi dared not to mobilize the central army's troops to reinforce the left wing? If Huo Yi unfortunately died in battle, would Zhang Zhi be able to conquer so many Huo Yi's old subordinates?

When Qian Hong was puzzled, Tian Xu next to him also saw the flaws that Zhang Zhi accidentally revealed and hurriedly spoke to Qian Hong: "Master, good opportunity, Huo Yi, old man led his troops alone on the left wing of the bandit army. We only need to concentrate our forces to attack the left wing of the bandit army, and the bandit army will inevitably fall into a passive disadvantage."

"The Grand Commander, the last general, also thinks that he should attack the left wing of the bandit army." Du Xin rarely had the same opinion as Tian Xu, saying: "Huo Yi's identity is too important. As long as his position is in a hurry, Zhang Zhi'er can't help but rescue him without division of troops. Zhang Zhi'er divided the troops and weakened the strength of the bandit army's central army. The opportunity for us to directly attack the bandit army's flag formation will come out!"

Qian Hong blinked his eyes and thought, and suddenly shouted: "Marquis Duchang, you should go to the left-wing position of the bandit army immediately. In the name of reminiscing about the past and persuading surrender, he invited Mr. Huo Yi to answer you. Is Mr. Huo Yi himself the one who led the army to the left-wing of the bandit army?!"

Yan Yu, who was named by Qian Hong, was hesitant, and Qian Hong urged: "What are you still stunned? Go quickly. As long as you can find out the thief general who led the army to form the left wing of the thief army, it is indeed Huo Yi himself. I will remember you a great contribution immediately!"

After saying that, Qian Hong also arranged several of his personal soldiers to "escort" Yan Yu, and asked Yan Yu, who knew Huo Yi, to find out the truth. Tian Xu and Du Xin, together, praised Qian Hong for his clever methods, cautious and careful, and did not give the Han army the opportunity to deceive his own army with fake banners.

Yan Yu came to the left wing formation of the Han army with a small white flag. Even though he knew it was embarrassing, Yan Yu still gritted his teeth and loudly expressed his identity and invited his former colleague Huo Yi to answer. As a result, the situation was reported, right in front of Huo Yi, who was on the left wing position of the Han army. Huo Yi immediately sneered and said, "Zhang Dengyuan is cruel and uses me as bait. It is also a traitor for the common man to find out if I am really here."

"Elder General, let the Du General lead a team of people out and capture Yan Yu's husband back and send you a speech!" Huang Shu, the goalkeeper who was assigned to Huo Yi, volunteered.

"Don't be impulsive. The overall situation is the most important thing. It is difficult to do it without saying it. Even if you can really kill Yan Yu, it will not work." Huo Yi shook his head, then slapped forward, sighed and said, "Well, since Yan Yu wants to find out the situation for Wei Zhe, I will satisfy his wish."

He sighed and came to the front of the formation. Without saying a word, Huo Yi immediately pointed at Yan Yu with a horse whip and cursed: "Shameless man, you were insulted by Huang Hao in the past, intending to usurp the general's military power and force the general to farm and avoid disaster in Dazhong. Now he is accomplice of the Wei thief, forcing the former great Han soldiers to fill the trenches and die. What kind of face do you have to bark in front of me? If you are smart, dismount and surrender quickly, otherwise, I will definitely take your head today!"

"The old general calm down, please listen..."

"shut up!"

Huo Yi rudely interrupted Yan Yu's politeness and roared again: "Get out of here immediately, otherwise, even if I violate the military law, I will order the envoy to behead me! Men, prepare for my crossbow!"

While singing the promises in an orderly manner, the Han soldiers opened their crossbows and pointed them at Yan Yu. Yan Yu saw that something was wrong and was afraid that Huo Yi would really order the arrows to be fired. He could only turn his horse's head and lead Qian Hong's personal soldiers to escape, leaving Huo Yi to continue to insult him loudly, constantly condemning Yan Yu's numerous crimes of collusion with Huang Hao back then.

Yan Yu really did not have the trust of the Wei army. After returning to the Wei army's flag formation, although Yan Yu immediately reported that he had seen clearly that Huo Yi himself was indeed the one who led the troops to the left wing of the Han army. However, Qian Hong still asked with concern: "Have you seen clearly? Are you sure it is Huo Yi himself?"

"Don't worry, the general dares to guarantee it." Yan Yu replied humbly: "When General Mo was the governor of the surrender before, he had worked with Huo Yi in the South China for many years. Even if he turned into ashes, General Mo promised that he would not admit his mistake."

"Very good." Qian Hong nodded with confidence and grinned, "Very good. Since your son Zhang Zhi gave me such a big gift, if you don't accept it with a smile, you will be so sorry for your kindness! Beat the drum, beat the banner, send two thousand troops to attack the left wing of the thief army!"

The war drums sounded and the flag was launched. Soon, two thousand surrendered soldiers in Shu Han took great strides under the command of the Wei generals, and rushed towards the left-wing position of the Han army without hesitation. As a result, seeing this situation in the Han army's flag formation, Zhang Zhi of course also had a grim smile on his face. Knowing that the Wei army still couldn't help swallowing his bait and gave priority to the cannon fodder army on Huo Yi.

The fierce battle also began quickly. He rushed to Huo Yi's formation with the rain of arrows from the Han army. The surrendered soldiers of Shu Han who were forced to fight hard and stabbed the spear, desperately attacking the left-wing positions of the Han army. Huo Yi commanded the soldiers of the Han army to respond calmly and use the advantage of forming formations to fight tenaciously withstand the enemy's attack. They were hard to distinguish and could not be separated from the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han who once held the Yan Han banner.

The battle situation was a bit stalemate, but as time went by, the Han army gradually gained some advantage. Not only did they firmly defend their positions, but they also gradually restored the front line that was chasing by the charge of the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han. They used dense formations to make the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han unable to advance in an instant, so that the enemy could not see any hope of breaking the formation.

There are three reasons for this situation. First, the troops of the surrendered soldiers in Shu Han were insufficient, and they rushed to 3,000 with two thousand. Even if they concentrated their forces to attack Huo Yi's position, creating the opportunity to fight less in the local area. After the Han army gritted their teeth to block the charge momentum, the troops of the surrendered soldiers in Shu Han naturally extended to both wings, and the troops were naturally diluted, losing the advantage of fighting less in the local area.

Second, the morale of the two sides of the war was completely different. The Han army, who were all from the Nanzhong people, fought to defend their hometown, and was greedy for Zhang Zhi's lunch meat and Suda noodle restaurant rewards. They naturally worked very hard when fighting. The surrendered soldiers of Shu Han were forced to fight by the Wei army. From top to bottom, they all understood that they were used as consumables by the Wei army. They did not have the determination to fight to the end, so naturally they did not have much high-spirited fighting spirit.

The third reason is the most important reason, that is, the huge gap in food supply between the two sides is too huge. Even though the Wei army did not deliberately discriminate against the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han in terms of food, the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han could only eat rough rice that was pitifully small in salt every meal. The calorie supplementation can only be considered barely enough, and the muscles were weak due to lack of salt, which in turn affected the combat effectiveness.

The Han army soldiers whose food was comparable to the mold of World War II were completely opposite in this regard. The heat storage in their bodies had long reached an excessive level, and salt supply could directly produce high blood pressure. Therefore, during close combat, the Han army naturally had the advantage of physical strength, and it was naturally difficult to be defeated by the Wei army.

When people were far away, they didn't know what human nutrition supplements were. Seeing that the surrendered soldiers in Shu Han were not attacked effectively, Qian Hong and Tian Xu and others were naturally furious and kept scolding the surrendered soldiers in Shu Han who were timid and afraid of fighting, and put all the responsibility on the surrendered soldiers in Shu Han who were forced to fight for them. Then Tian Xu also spoke to Qian Hong again: "Master General, we don't have to worry about how much we die. So just send all the surrendered soldiers in Shu to besiege Huo Yi with superior forces, and force Zhang Zhi to divide his troops to rescue his position."

"No." Du Xin immediately objected: "The decisive battle has just begun. We should not rush to invest a large amount of troops. We should withdraw the front team and use the new force to attack Huo Yi'er's position in turn. Wait for Huo Yi'er's soldiers to lose their physical strength, and then wait for an opportunity to attack."

After thinking about it, considering that the real Wei army would be put into the battlefield now, which would lead to the real Wei soldiers facing the Han army too early. Qian Hong calmly adopted Du Xin's suggestion. While ordering the withdrawal of the front army and reorganizing the team, he prepared to fight again, he immediately sent two thousand surrendered soldiers from Shu Han to advance and continued to attack the left wing of the Han army, preparing to use the new force to take turns to fight, destroy the Han army soldiers under Huo Yi's troops, and then launch a full-scale attack.

Logically speaking, Qian Hong's tactics were very correct, but unfortunately, because it was too far apart, what Qian Hong did not see was that as soon as his front team retreated, the Han army soldiers immediately reorganized the team while taking out the Snickers and tearing them open and stuffing them into their mouths, racing against time to replenish their calories and restore their physical strength. So...

Therefore, even though two thousand new forces were rotated forward, the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han still could not impulse the Han army's formation, and were still blocked by the left-wing Han army. After a long battle, they could not see any looseness in the Han army's formation. On the contrary, they were killed by Han soldiers, and were killed and injured.

He cursed the incompetence of the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han, Qian Hong rotated his troops to fight again, and ordered Du Xin: "Go to command the surrendered soldiers of Shu, seize the time to reorganize the team, and prepare to lead the surrendered soldiers of Shu himself to attack."

On Huo Yi's side, seeing the Wei army rotated the third new force to attack, Huang Shu quickly suggested to Huo Yi: "Elder General, the third round is here. Our former soldiers are tired and have many casualties. It's time to rotate the paper armored soldiers and come forward."

Looking at all the Han army's central positions in paper armor, Huo Yi said calmly: "No hurry, expose our paper armored soldiers' combat effectiveness too early. The Wei thief will definitely use Yizhou soldiers to resist our central army's main force, let us Han soldiers kill their own people, and let Meng Zhong bring leather armored soldiers to rotate the soldiers in the front team."

The order was issued, and Meng Zhong, who was under the command of Huo Yi, immediately led his army forward and rotated the former soldiers wearing leather armor, and continued to use their defense to be inferior to those of iron armor. The leather soldiers in paper armor resisted the frontal impact of the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han. Fortunately, the poor surrendered soldiers of Shu Han were all wearing leather armor, and the Han army was not at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.

It was similar to the previous two impacts. With the inertial advantage of charge, the third surrendered Shu Han soldiers who rushed to the front line once disrupted some of the Han army's front teams. However, after the inertial advantage was offset, as time gradually progressed and the war continued to develop, the Han army still stabilized its position again and defended its front line.

Because Huo Yi also rotated the new forces forward, Qian Hong was not furious this time. He just thought that all the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han should be put into the left-wing battlefield of the Han army, and that the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han would attack the central and right wings of the Han army and reconnaissance the virtual and realities of the Han army.

The least he did not regard the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han as human beings. Tian Xu had been cursing the weak attack of the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han, and kept instigating Qian Hong: "Master, you can't be polite anymore. You should put all the soldiers of Shu into the left-wing positions of the bandit army, surround Huo Yi'er from all directions, and force the bandit army to send troops to rescue Huo Yi'er from all directions."

Qian Hong said nothing and asked Tian Xu for a while: "General Tian, ​​don't you think this matter is a bit strange? How important is Huo Yi's identity? Zhang Zhi'er lets him lead three thousand troops alone to form the left wing, and he has not made any adjustments. He allows us to attack his left wing. This seems to be tempting us to join the heavy army to siege his left wing?"

"So what?" Tian Xu asked back and said, "Even if we put all the seven thousand surrendered soldiers in Shu on the left-wing battlefield, the remaining troops were still twice as strong as Zhang Zhi'er's central army and right-wing combined. Its strength was enough. No matter what tricks Zhang Zhi'er played, we don't have to be afraid!"

"I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." Qian Hong said with a contemplation: "I intend to let the surrendered soldiers of Shu attack the front of the thief army and test the reality of the thief soldiers wearing strange armor. What do you think?"

"Master, you must not do this." Tian Xu quickly opposed: "The combat effectiveness of the surrendered soldiers of Shu people is unreliable, and even the left wing of the bandit army cannot rush, of course, let alone the central army. Therefore, sending them to attack the bandit army is not only destined to be useless, but also makes them less morale to fight. The best way is to let them all attack the left wing of the bandit army, use their military strength to surround Huo Yi, and let them use Huo Yi's troops to waste Huo Yi's troops. Then the bandit army rescues Huo Yi, we take the opportunity to attack their central army. If the bandit army does not rescue Huo Yi, we will directly capture and kill this old man, which will make the treachery army in the South Central shattered fear!"

Seeing that Tian Xu was quite reasonable, he also knew that the morale of the surrendered soldiers of the Shu Han Dynasty was indeed not high, so it was obvious that it was impossible to succeed when they asked them to attack the central position of the Han army. Qian Hong weighed the pros and cons, but nodded and said, "Well, just use your method. First, surrounded Huo Yi and then talk about it. If we kill this old man, we will kill half of the Southern Central thieves."

After making up this idea, Qian Hong did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to send an order to Du Xin, asking him to command the remaining 4,000 surrendered soldiers of Shu Han, to use his military strength to surround Huo Yi, and use Huo Yi's troops to force the Han army to take action, creating an opportunity for self-employment to take action.

It was still after seeing the enemy who had been on the battlefield once again attacking, and still struck his left wing. Zhang Zhi, who had been watching the battle calmly in the Han army flag formation, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally lured the enemy successfully, and used Huo Yi to restrain the Wei army's cannon fodder army, so that his main force of the central army would not have to do useless work when advancing. As a result, it was still at this time that Huo Biao, who was assigned to Wu Ma, spoke and said, "Governor."

"What's up?"

Zhang Zhi turned his head to look at Huo Biao, but Huo Biao stuttered and did not continue to speak. Zhang Zhi immediately understood his thoughts and said, "Don't be anxious. The paper-armored soldiers under the old general's command have not been dispatched yet, so I can stop them. When he completely restrains the soldiers in Yizhou, I will naturally take action."

Huo Biao nodded and said nothing. At the same time, on the left-wing battlefield of the Han army, seeing Qian Hong indeed put heavy troops into his position, Huo Yi also smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's true that it's still here. Whether I can go back alive to eat instant noodles and lunch meat depends on the next battle."

After saying that, Huo Yi turned to Huang Shu and ordered: "Take paper armored soldiers to the rear team and prepare for the battle. The terrain of this area is wide, and the enemy's rear team will definitely detour behind us and attack our rear team."

Huang Shu followed the order and immediately led the 500 paper armored soldiers assigned by Zhang Zhi to Huo Yi to the rear team to change defenses, lined up to welcome the enemy's attack. Then the situation was also influenced by Huo Yi. The very smart Du Xin did not directly attack the front of Huo Yi's position. He chose to use the open terrain of this area to detour eastward, leading the army to the rear of Huo Yi's position, and then launched an attack!

"Kill! Capture Huo Yi, be promoted to the third level, and give you a reward of 200,000!"

Because Du Xin was the only general of the Wei army who was regarded as a witness by Shu Han soldiers, and with the huge rewards and encouragement, the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han brought by Du Xin still burst out with a lot of roar, like a tide, rushing towards the Han army's paper armored soldiers who had already lined up to the front of Huo Yi's rear team. However...

However, these surrendered soldiers in Shu Han who were charging with spears were soon stunned. Even if the spear in their hands was stabbed on the Han soldiers with charge, they generally could not penetrate the strange and bloated armor on the Han soldiers. They could only stab the Han soldiers back one or two steps. The spears that the Han soldiers bravely stabbed from them could pierce the thin leather armor on their bodies as usual, causing them light or serious damage.

The swords and spears came and spears flew, and the screams of the surrendered soldiers of Shu Han also spread on the battlefield one after another, "You can't stab it! You can't break it! The thief army is wearing iron armor! It's iron armor!"

Not everyone could hear such screams in the loud shouts of killing. According to the inertia of charge, the crowd of surrendered soldiers of Shu Han only quickly developed to the two wings and quickly surrounded Huo Yi's troops. Therefore, when the situation of the Han army's paper armor was reported to Du Xin, more than 6,000 surrendered soldiers of Shu Han were already trapped in the left-wing battlefield of the Han army, and could no longer quickly free up their hands to act as cannon fodder for the real Wei soldiers.

"What? The strange armor of the thief army is iron armor? The spear cannot be stabbed? The knife cannot be cut? How is it possible?!"

He exclaimed and repeated the report sent by the front team. Du Xin subconsciously turned his head and looked at the Han army's central army position. He glanced at the Han army's central army soldiers who were mostly wearing strange and bloated armor. Du Xin's face suddenly turned pale as paper. He quickly grabbed a personal soldier of his hand and shouted at him: "Go and report to the general, we have been fooled! The strange armor worn by the soldiers of the thieves are all iron armor! They cannot be stabbed by the sword, and cannot be penetrated by the spear! Please beware of the general's guard against the breakthrough of the middle of the thief army and directly attack our flag formation!"

It was too late, when Du Xin made this decision, Zhang Zhi had already issued an offensive order with a relaxed expression, personally leading 6,000 Han army soldiers to move forward in conical formations, calmly and confidently facing the front of the Wei army's central position. Among these 6,000 Han army soldiers, more than 3,800 were wearing paper armor that was hundreds of years ago ahead of this era, thousands of people were equipped with steel-filled weapons that could easily pierce and split the hard iron armor, and...

In addition, he also carried more than 60 pine tree cannons with ammunition loaded, and some original grenades made of plastic bottles, pig iron scraps and quicklime.

Zhang Zhizhen was not deliberately bullying the Wei army, but mainly because the Han army had too few troops. Zhang Zhi had to rely on some weapons and equipment that surpassed this era to reverse the gap in military strength. At the same time, because the population of Nanzhong was too thin and the productivity was too poor, and the Wei army gave the Han army too short to develop, otherwise...

Otherwise, Zhang Zhi would have really wanted to create hundreds or thousands of pine cannons, so that every Han army soldier would be equipped with paper armor and steel-filled weapons, and then some whips, candles and triangular horses, and then cruelly abuse the poor Wei army soldiers.
