Chapter 754 Gao Shun VS Wu Han
Chapter 752: Gao Shun VS Wu Han
The war on the left and right wings was all in a deadlock, which made the Qin generals very anxious and took the initiative to ask Bai Qi for support.
"General, Li Cunxiao asked to lead a thousand troops to support the right wing." Li Cunxiao said with his fist.
"Ran Min asked to lead a thousand troops to support the left wing." Ran Min said in a deep voice.
The two of them didn''t want many soldiers. After all, they also knew that if there were too many supporters, the strength of the central army would be weakened, and naturally it would be difficult to resist the main force of the enemy.
After hearing the generals'' request, Bai Qi did not look back, stared at the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "No, Liu Xiu divided his troops to support the two wings. At this time, the central army was the weakest moment. Our army should take advantage of this to defeat the enemy''s central army."
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "General, the enemy''s central army still has 35,000 troops. Our army can add two wings so that the enemy''s central army can divide the troops again, and the risk of a decisive battle will be smaller."
Bai Qi shook his head without thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu will definitely not continue to divide the troops. He is also waiting for our army to send troops to support him. Once my army divides the troops, he will pounce on him immediately."
Zhou Yu was stunned. After thinking deeply, he realized that Bai Qi was right. Liu Xiu would never be dividing troops, because he would really not be able to stop the Qin army.
Both sides abandoned conspiracies in this battle, so there was no one who planned to plot against anyone. Both sides had the most primitive collision, and only strength could win.
Bai Qi had seen through this, so what he prepared at the beginning was to defeat the enemy''s central army, and then the enemy''s wings would naturally be defeated.
Of course, the premise is that the enemy''s left and right wings will not interfere, and Bai Qi is not very worried about whether Wen Pin and Huang Zhong can withstand the enemy''s troops several times their size.
With Xu Chu and three thousand elite tiger guards on the left wing, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they will never be defeated.
Bai Qi was most worried about the right wing. He was originally planning to increase troops to the right wing, but he didn''t expect that Huang Zhong was so fierce that he not only sniped and killed the two princes, but also blocked the enemy''s reinforcements, which would become the biggest surprise of this battle.
Now that the left and right wings are in a stalemate, Bai Qi naturally has to save troops to attack Liu Xiu''s central army.
Liu Xiu''s central army still had 35,000 troops. Bai Qi was led by Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu Wenpin took another 8,000 troops. Now the allocated troops are still 17,000.
Although Liu Xiu''s military strength is still twice that of his own, Bai Qi is not afraid at all. You should know that among his seven thousand troops, there are three thousand trap camps, three thousand iron guard camps, one thousand nine dragon guards, and five hundred flying tiger camps.
With 7,500 elite battalions in hand, Liu Xiu only has 35,000 troops, even Bai Qi will not be timid even if he has 60,000 soldiers.
Bai Qi swept over the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The victory and defeat are here. Gao Shun, you lead the three thousand camps as the vanguard, Ran Min, you lead ten thousand elites to follow closely."
"No." Gao Shun and Ran Min responded together.
Bai Qi didn''t move, and he dispatched a 13,000 army to attack Liu Xiu''s army with the most fierce force.
On the side of the coalition, Liu Xiu saw that Bai Qi was finally coming to his central army and immediately ordered: "Where is Wu Han?"
"The last general is here." Wu Han stood up and responded.
"You are now in charge of the front army and be sure to block the enemy."
Wu Han once killed Miao Zeng and Xie Gong, pacified the peasant army such as Tongma and Qingdu, and successively wiped out the separatist forces such as Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Gongsun Shu, and Lu Fang. It can be seen that he was a marshal''s talent with a high commander.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, Wu Han served as the Grand Sima and ranked second among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
Such a general who knows and fights well and controls the superior force with more troops and fewer enemies, is impossible to fail, but unfortunately he encountered a trapped camp.
Looking at the enemy army walking heavy and neatly paced not far away, a trace of solemnity flashed in Wu Han''s eyes. The opponent''s queue was so neat that it was like one person. The camp was indeed well-known. “Arrowman is ready.”
Wu Han pulled out his long sword from his waist, pointed straight ahead, and shouted, "From the target, shoot upwards, and shoot arrows."
Thousands of archers shot arrows together, and for a moment, the arrows fell like rain.
"Rise the shield."
"ha…"
With Gao Shun''s order, the soldiers of the camp raised their shields to their heads in an orderly manner.
The dense raindrops of arrows kept hitting the shield, but did not hit a soldier in the camp.
Seeing that the camp was moving slowly forward in the rain of arrows, Wu Han''s pupils immediately shrank, and then ordered again: "Shoot the back row, shoot the front row directly, shoot the arrow."
A sneer flashed across Gao Shun''s mouth and shouted, "Shield Formation."
"Dingdong, Gao Shun''s skill is activated."
"Gao Shun''s unique skill, which inspires the soldiers under the command of the leader to increase their morale, force, physical strength, coordination, tacit understanding, increase... Commander Gao Shun + 4, force + 2. If this skill is activated in cooperation with the legendary troops trained by Gao Shun when fighting, it will be invincible when fighting with the number of people."
"Dingdong, after the ''locking'' is launched, the commander +4, the force +2. Gao Shun''s basic commander is 92, the current commander has risen to 96; Gao Shun''s basic force is 93, the equipment +2, the current force is 97."
Originally, Gao Shun''s peak basic commander was 91, and his force was 92. However, in the past few years of Qin Hao''s expedition and confrontation, Gao Shun not only reached his own peak, but also increased his commander and force by 1 point, reaching the commander 92, 93, and this progress has indeed been great.
"Dingdong, the effect of ''encirclement'' is activated, the morale of the camp increases, the force increases, the physical strength increases, the coordination degree increases, the tacit understanding increases..."
"The ambition to be trapped in the battle is to die but not live."
The roar of the soldiers of the three thousand trap camps was louder than the 30,000 people shouted!
The soldiers in the camp holding a strong shield and wearing heavy armor immediately contracted their formation after receiving Gao Shun''s order.
The soldiers in the front lifted their shields diagonally, while the middle and rear were raised horizontally, so that they could defend against the arrows above and also against the arrows in front.
A hint of horror flashed in Wu Han''s eyes. He didn''t expect that the camp had trained to defend against arrow attacks in all directions. If this continued, he would directly attack the central army.
"Cavals attacked." Wu Han ordered.
Of course, this is also a helpless move. If the arrow formation has no effect, then you can only use cavalry to break the enemy''s shield formation.
Jingzhou is located in the south and does not produce war horses, so there are naturally not many cavalrymen. The five major princes have only 2,000, but this does not mean that Liu Xiu does not have cavalry.
You should know that Liu Xiu''s army came from the Liangzhou army, and among the gifts Dong Zhuo gave to Liu Xiu, there were a total of 3,000 Western Liang cavalry.
Among Liu Xiu''s 35,000 central army, there were 5,000 cavalry alone, which was the only force that could threaten the Qin army.
