Chapter five hundred and two: life and death
It is not easy for more than 100,000 troops to set up their formation.
This is what Wang Fangyi is worried about.
He looked into the distance and was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale.
Things were worse than he thought, or the strength of the Shence Army seemed to be beyond his expectations.
Only a few incense sticks, from warning to assembly, and then to array, the Shen Ce Army had all completed in just a few incense sticks.
They arranged the array directly in the direction of Dongying and made a confrontation gesture.
On the other hand, the five towns were still in a mess at this time, and the troops were crowded into a group and loose. Although Wang Fangyi urged him several times, it still had no effect.
At this time, what he was most worried about was that the Shence Army took advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack. If the official troops in the five towns were unstable and directly covered up the killing, the outcome would be unpredictable.
The most important thing in the battle is morale. Once the Shen Ce Army raids, God knows whether these people will collapse.
Suddenly, Wang Fangyi was not confident enough. Fortunately, his Shenwei Army still looked a little like a few, more than 10,000 cavalry, and was on the right wing of the five towns' official army. The Shence Army was eyeing him. If there was any abnormal movement at this time, Wang Fangyi had to take out his old capital and order the interception to gain time.
However, although the other party had already lined up, it seemed that there was no intention to attack. The Soldier God was not wrong. The Shen Ce Army had a great advantage in this regard, but they did not even fight to cover up the attack. This made Wang Fangyi feel a little confused.
Could it be that the other party’s leader is cautious or stupid, or that the other party is confident that he can calmly respond?
Even a veteran like Wang Fangyi couldn't help but murmur in his heart at this moment, full of doubts. He had only faced Hu people or rebels before. Wang Fangyi had his own set of methods of fighting, such as dealing with the Hu people's cavalry, whether the opponent was feinted, whether there were ambushes, and whether there were flanks nearby. He could make a judgment based on his rich experience and come up with the most appropriate way to deal with them. Even if his strength was not good and he could not win, it was enough to minimize the losses.
But now he really doesn't understand the Shen Ce Army's trick. In other words, the Shen Ce Army's combat method made him unable to guess the other party's intentions.
It is obviously an elite soldier, but it cannot effectively seize the fighter jets passing by in a flash. But if you say that they have no combat experience, this method of gathering speed is unprecedented, and is even faster than the flying cavalry. How could such soldiers trained by generals not even understand the basic tactics?
Wang Fangyi was confused.
He looked up and looked at Wei Hongmin standing on the top of the city. Although Wei Hongmin was just a vague figure in his eyes now, Wang Fangyi still felt the pressure.
He couldn't help laughing. At this time, he thought about what to do in these minor points. If the Shen Ce Army did not attack, it would be better. It just gave him time to hold the army.
He gave orders one after another to the messenger behind him with a firm eye. His eyes carefully observed every problem on the battlefield and finally corrected it.
The five towns of officials and troops were mixed together, which made Wang Fangyi a little annoyed. However, after all the troops and horses were arranged in an array, he finally felt at ease. In any case, in front of him, there were only more than ten thousand Shen Ce troops, who were compressed by themselves in an extremely narrow place. It was impossible to use any tactics such as fire attacks and surprise attacks.
At present, all these people can face is the rush of the five towns, which is ten times more than them. As long as they resist it once, the next situation will be the annihilation of the entire army.
Wang Fangyi thought of this and completely restored his confidence. Because he had already observed the terrain, the place facing the Shen Ce Army was exactly the dead place mentioned in the art of war. Once this place was entangled by a large number of official troops, they would not even have a way to escape.
Wang Fangyi smiled fiercely and said loudly: "All the troops, pass on the order of this governor."
Dozens of commanders had already raised their ears and waited for Wang Fangyi's orders.
Wang Fangyi said firmly: "Select the Iron Cavalry of the Shenwei Army to take the lead in rushing, Zhaoyi Central Army and Zhaoyi Left Army each covered their left and right wings. This governor first tried the weight of these bandits."
With a command, the Iron Cavalry of the Shenwei Army came out, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves was like thunder.
Although Wang Fangyi was just a test of his skills and wanted to make a tentative attack, he still squandered his power, which was a big deal.
This Shenwei Army Iron Cavalry was created by him with great effort. Most of the military generals were brought by him from the Western Regions. Most of them were extremely brave in fighting. In order to create this Iron Cavalry, Wang Fangyi spent all his efforts to hate war horses from the court. He repeatedly added taxes in Shenwei Town, which made the ground in Shandong angry and resentful.
But because of this, when the Iron Cavalry of the Shenwei Army came out, the momentum of the five towns on the battlefield suddenly increased, and countless people were surging.
The Zhaoyi Central Army and the Left Army, which were responsible for the surround of the left and right wings, also had 20,000 people, which was in a mighty way.
At this moment, three or four miles away, the Shence Army was still waiting for something.
They did not move, not a single move, just waiting with breath, listening to the roar of the war drum, and hearing the iron cavalry thumping incessantly.
The long-term exercise allowed them to maintain excellent endurance, so at this time, they did not seem too serious. However, when the other party's drums sounded, the officers of each team had already begun to observe the enemy situation.
The scout in front of the formation held his horse forward and retreated, reporting the news about the enemy formation to Fang Jing one by one. Fang Jing was in the central army, with a solemn look on his face, but he was still calm. He just listened to the reports one by one, but was not in a hurry to issue military orders.
Looking from afar, many of the five towns in front of him were hidden outside the horizon, and the people who occasionally appeared were just dark shadows.
However, when the sound of horse hooves sounded, Fang Jing finally knew that the time for the decisive battle was coming.
