Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 222 Desperation

...

Myriad souls.

Li Yan, who was almost armed to the teeth, was holding a mixed iron panlong stick, sitting on top of a lion. On the left were the Phantom Demon Lord Qiao Daoqing and Nanli General Shi Bao, and on the right were the Divine Machine Military Master Zhu Wu and 80 Qiu Yue, the head of the Forbidden Army, and Li Yan's former personal guards Chen Liqing, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, and Wang Dingliu had to line up further to the side.

If this battle is lost, it will be a heavy blow to the new force of Shuibo Liangshan, but as long as Li Yan is safe, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

If something unexpected happens to Li Yan, even if Shuibo Liangshan wins the battle and defeats Kaijing, it will be useless, because in the power of Shuibo Liangshan, no one can replace Li Yan. Liangshan will either disintegrate, be annexed by other forces, or be wiped out by the court. In short, it will never end well.

In other words, Shuibo Liangshan is not without weaknesses, and Li Yan is its weakness—the Achilles heel.

Therefore, despite the shortage of troops everywhere, everyone in Liangshan unanimously decided to send two battalions of horse troops to protect Li Yan, which is why Shi Bao and Qiu Yue appeared around Li Yan.

As for why Qiao Daoqing and Zhu Wu appeared around Li Yan, needless to say, how could such a big battle be managed by Li Yan alone, and to be honest, Li Yan is not good at commanding So far, Li Yan hasn't even recognized the battle formation. If it wasn't for the fact that Li Jun, his navy, and the slaves in Licheng City would not be able to defend Licheng City, and that the two newcomers Qiu Qian and Guo Yong The guy is unreliable, and Sun Jing will be by Li Yan's side at this moment.

By the way, because this battle is so critical, Li Yan didn't care about the two great talents, Qiu Xian and Guo Yong, but instead put these two great talents who know how to govern one side and know how to fight against each other on one left and one on the right They were assigned to Lin Chong, Cao Zheng, Bian Xiang, and Sun An respectively, and let them serve as military advisers in some areas——Li Yan gave Lin Chong, Bian Xiang and others a death order, and must ensure the safety of Qiu Xian and Guo Yong no matter what!
It can be said that Li Yan has put all his eggs in one basket - if he wins, he will have a chance to compete in the world.If you lose, you will have to retire early, or even die here.

It's not that Li Yan likes to gamble and like to risk his life, but the road he chose is the road of Huashan, so he can't help but work hard.

Zhu Wu introduced the conical formation on the opposite side to Li Yan: "This formation is called a conical formation, also known as a male formation. It is the most typical offensive formation. It has no obvious shortcomings. The key to this formation is that its forward must be sharp and fast. , the two wings are strong and powerful, you can use the elite forwards to attack the enemy in a narrow front, break through and split the enemy's formation, and the two wings will expand the results of the battle, and the sergeants of the horse infantry will not make any noise, and the ranks will not be chaotic. This formation is quite exquisite."

At the same time, in the Koryo army, Jin An pointed to the Liangshan army on the hill and said to Han Anren: "This formation is called the crab formation, also known as the purse formation, and the lotus tail formation. This formation is extremely flexible and can be It varies according to our situation. If we are divided into left and right teams, they will use the squadron of the formation to divide the left and right wings and form two teams to meet the enemy. If we are one team, they will form a team with the left and right forwards. The rear half of the left and right wings merge with the middle team and line up, thinking that the front team will respond. If our left team has more soldiers, he will shift to the left team; if our right team has more soldiers, he will change to the right team. If we play four [-], five teams, they can also be divided into four or five teams to attack in sequence, the big crabs enveloping small crabs is especially powerful, the method is to fight us with a small formation first, and then go out to encircle us with a large formation, or feign defeat to lure us and ambush us Surrounding us in all directions, this formation is extremely tough...but this formation has extremely high requirements for the quality of the sergeants, look at it, Marshal, the left and right sides of the formation are in a mess, without any appearance of elites, they must be It is a man who makes up the numbers, so there is nothing to be afraid of, we just need to pay attention to the two leaders on each of its two claws."

Zhu Wu said again: "The key to this battle is whether Master Lu's second infantry can resist their forwards. As long as Master Lu and the others can resist their forwards for a while and make them shrink together, we have a [-]% chance of winning. .”

Jin An said again: "The key to this battle is whether our forwards can break through their central army. As long as the forwards break through their central army and split their formation, they will be at our mercy."

Hearing Zhu Wuzhi's words, Li Yanchong said to Lu Zhishen, who was instructing his servants to discharge the horse piles in front of him: "Master, this battle depends entirely on you to step into the second army."

Lu Zhishen looked at the Gaoli Army on the opposite side and said, "The Sa family has been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years, and I will not let my brother down!"

Hearing Jin An's words, Han Anren asked the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army who was the vanguard of this battle: "Is your Dragon and Tiger Army useful, but it is as useless as the Yingyang Army. I will replace you as the vanguard."

General Longhu replied neither soft nor hard: "If the Marshal thinks that our Dragon and Tiger Army is not qualified for this forward position, please change."

All the generals scolded Han Anren in their hearts: "It's this fucking time, you're still a moth, do you still want to win!"

Han Anren actually wanted to provoke General Longhu, but because he looked down on the military officials in his bones, this aggressive general suddenly became a humiliating general.

Jin An already hated Han Anren to death, but now is really not the time to fight against Han Anren, otherwise wouldn't he be playing with the battlefield, a place of life and death?
Jin An took a deep breath and said, "If neither of the two armies can act as a forward, which army in Korea can act as a forward?"

Han Anren opened his mouth subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, they had to rely on Jin An and the others to fight this battle, so Han Anren shut his mouth again.

When Jin An and General Longhu were about to turn aside, Han Anren said to the civil servants on the left and right in a low voice: "The Dragon and Tiger Army are as famous as the Yingyang Army, and most likely they are not much stronger."

Jin An, who had extremely sensitive ears, heard Han Anren's whispered words, and was filled with resentment, thinking: "If I am the commander-in-chief, if you are not the king's favorite minister, I will kill you, a sour scholar who disturbs the army's morale, to sacrifice the flag! "

Although I thought so, it was just a hypothesis. The reality is that Han Anren is the chief marshal, he is only the deputy marshal, and Han Anren is still the first favorite of the king of Korea, Wang Yu.

Jin An gave General Longhu a look of "Don't be as knowledgeable as him, he is cheap".

General Longhu sighed for the status of the military minister, and then went forward to talk to General Longhu who was leading the army to charge for a while and said the precautions again, and explained a few words to General Longhu by the way, so as not to be found by Han Anren later. .

After General Longhu left, Han Anren looked around and said, "Why don't you charge?"

Jin An said: "The sun will be high in another hour. If we can delay the charge until then, we won't have to worry about the glare of the sun, and as time goes by, the sun will turn from our disadvantage to our advantage. "

On the hill, seeing that his side was ready, Zhu Wu said to Li Yanjin: "Brother, we need to give the illusion of withdrawing our troops and force them to attack now, otherwise sunlight will be their help."

Li Yan remonstrated Ruliu: "This matter is decided by the military adviser."

Hearing this, Zhu Wu picked out a small green flag from a small flag in his hand, waved it left and right twice, and then drew a circle. The flag officer not far away saw it, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were fighting against the green flag to follow the instructions of Zhu Wu. The method of waving the flag is to wave the big flag.

Soon, Lin Chong's troops at Zuo Ao began to turn their horses' heads around and made a sign to evacuate.

Seeing this scene, Han Anren asked Jin An, "What are they doing?"

Jin An replied: "They are advancing by retreating, forcing us to attack now."

Han Anren said: "He said he will fight, why not ignore him, and wait until the afternoon to fight."

Jin An said: "If we don't attack, they will pretend to be real and withdraw to Li Chengcheng."

Hearing this, Han Anren thought to himself: "If that's the case, in a short period of time, I'm afraid there will be no chance of a decisive battle, and if it's too late, it will be easy to change. It's hard to guarantee that Li Ziqian will not try to replace me, or make a quick decision to make this great contribution early. good."

Thinking of this, Han Anren said: "Then what's the point of dawdling, if you don't attack me quickly, don't tell the bandits to escape!"

Jin An didn't say much, and said directly: "Beat the attack drum!"

Hearing the sound of the drum, General Longhu, who kept his eyes closed for rest, opened his eyes in an instant, and then shouted: "Kill—" and then rushed to Liangshan Army first!
Under the leadership of General Longhu, a long cone flew straight to the opposite crab head at an extremely fast speed...
