Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 146: Decisive battle on the plains, Wu Song kills the general!
As the military order was issued, Xunlin City was crowded with people, and the huge city gate was slowly opened with the combined efforts of several soldiers.

Dozens of groups of Chu army cavalry, led by a general, ran out of the camp outside the city. In the wilderness outside Xunlin City, they fought and killed each other with the Burmese cavalry, clearing a field for the subsequent army to leave the city. Come.

The Burmese country is mountainous, and most of the horses ridden by the cavalry are relatively short Burmese horses. Therefore, they gradually fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Chu cavalry. Some people kept screaming and fell off their horses, and then were galloped away. The passing horses trampled him to death.

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Wu Jianning ordered the cavalry responsible for wandering harassment to withdraw to their main formation.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, except for the [-] Chu troops who stayed behind, the remaining [-] Chu troops slowly walked out of the city and camp under the command of Qu Zhen, and formed a formation on the plain.

Although Qu Zhen is responsible for the defeat and loss of territory, when it comes to the generals around Zhao Yu, no one else is more suitable than this veteran who has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years.

Although Wang Xiongdan, Zhang Xiu and Yin Shou are better and have greater potential, in such a key battle, they do not have enough experience in the army and have no experience in commanding a large army, so they are not qualified to be commanders of an army.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Yu finally used Qu Zhen.

Several groups of Burmese cavalry thought they had an opportunity, bypassed the Chu cavalry, and wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Chu army that had not yet fully formed their formation, thereby causing chaos.

However, the Chu army's morale was greatly boosted when they learned that His Majesty was personally on the battlefield, and they repelled these cavalry in just a few breaths.

As the majestic war drums sounded in the city, the red phoenix banner belonging to the emperor of Chu appeared in front of the soldiers.

Under the flag, Zhao Yu, riding a red war horse, wearing red heavy armor and a white battle robe, appeared in front of everyone surrounded by Qu Zhen and a group of generals.

The [-] Chu army was also divided into four armies by Qu Zhen. The front army was commanded by Wu Song, the left and right armies were commanded by Wang Xiongdan and Yin Shou respectively. Qu Zhen and Zhao Yuan were in the middle army, and Zhang Xiu commanded the three thousand Feixiong army as the main force. Backhand.

The Chu army formed a formation outside the city, relying on the camps and cities in the rear to confront the Burmese army.

Zhao Yu, surrounded by generals, rode his horse to the front of the military formation, with Wang Xiongdan beside him holding a red phoenix flag.

Wherever the emperor's flag went, countless Chu soldiers were excited and crazy, holding up their weapons and shouting "Great Chu will be victorious", making crazy responses to Zhao Yu.

In just a short moment, the momentum of the entire Chu army had climbed to its highest peak.

The commander of the Myanmar Army on the stage.

Wu Jianning's face gradually became solemn as he listened to the sound of "Da Chu Wansheng" coming one after another from the opposite side.

He didn't expect that the little emperor of Chu's presence on the floor in front of the formation would suddenly increase the morale of the entire Chu army.

As the saying goes, one goes up and down.

The morale of the Chu army soared, and the morale of their Burmese army fell accordingly.

It's just that if Rujun's army is in formation and retreats without a fight, not only will the morale plummet, but the Chu army will find a flaw and pursue them one after another. At that time, the original retreat will turn into a complete rout.

Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Wu Jianning let the Chu army's morale rise, exhaling heavily and waving the flag in his hand.

"Send an order to the front troops to send General Li out into battle!"

After receiving the order from General Wu Jianning, the flag bearers beside him kept waving the flags in their hands, and the war drums on the high platform were also beaten by strong men. The strong drum beats hit the chests of the Burmese soldiers, making their blood boil.

Seeing the flags waving on the commander's platform, Li Miao, who had been waiting for a long time in the front army, raised a bloodthirsty smile on his lips and pulled the reins in his hands.

The horse was in pain, so Li Miao rushed out first.

"Boys, follow this general to kill the enemy!"

Under the leadership of Li Miao, countless Burmese soldiers behind him shouted in unison and stepped forward.

The nearly [-] troops in the front line slowly moved out under the guidance of the sound of drums.

At the same time, Ji Guangbai and Zhuo Yi, who were supporting on both wings, also led their troops and slowly pressed forward.

The entire Burmese army formation gradually changed from the "one" formation to a cone-shaped formation, and the tip of the cone was the [-] front troops commanded by Li Miao.

Zhao Yu and Qu Zhen, who returned to the commander's platform, looked at the front of the formation and saw flying dust two miles away, mixed with dots of blue, and they knew that the Burmese army had moved.

"General Qu, I will leave all of these [-] troops in your hands. Even I, at this moment, am a general under the general and can be dispatched at will."

Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at Qu Zhen, and emphasized his thoughts again.

"Your Majesty is so kind, I dare not let you down!"

After Qu Zhen finished speaking, he issued military orders to the surrounding flag bearers. With the flags flying from time to time, the Chu army also began to take action.

With a distance of only two miles, the Burmese army arrived in a matter of seconds, and the fierce general Li Miao led his guards to the front.

At a distance of two hundred steps, the Burmese army suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Chu army's waiting formation.

"put!"

Following the shouts of the military commander, the soldier Chu who was controlling the crossbow slammed down the gavel in his hand.

Amidst the crashing sounds of the crossbow strings, the sound of breaking through the air continued, and dozens of three-foot-long iron crossbow arrows flew out.

Just a wave of arrows killed more than fifty Burmese soldiers. An unlucky Burmese army commander was pierced into a gourd by a crossbow arrow and three soldiers behind him.

But these are of no concern to the nearly [-]-strong Burmese army. A famous soldier continued to advance towards the Chu army's formation amidst the orders of generals at all levels.

The leader, Li Miao, even cut the crossbow arrow that was aimed at him into two pieces with one strike of his axe.

"Bowman, get ready!"

"put!"

shhhhhh!
The endless rain of arrows was overwhelming, shooting towards the Burmese army.

"Raise your shield!"

Facing the rain of arrows from the Chu army, countless generals and generals in the Burmese army roared at the same time.

A Burmese soldier raised his leather-paned wooden shield, pressed his bodies as close as possible, and then continued to move forward.

Puff puff!
With a muffled sound, the arrows falling from the sky either penetrated the wooden shield, or shot into the gap in the shield wall, piercing into the bodies of the soldiers under the wooden shield.

Amid the screams and howls, a Burmese soldier was shot to the ground.

The Burmese army behind him had no expression on his face, and quickly stepped forward to fill in the newly exposed gap again.

In this way, after several rounds of arrows, more than [-] Burmese soldiers fell, but they were only about fifty steps away from the Chu army's formation.

The Burmese archers who entered their firing range immediately fired back with several waves of arrows.

Even though the armor rate of the Chu army was higher than that of the Burmese army, people still fell from time to time in the face of this rain of arrows.

After a few breaths, there were only about thirty steps between the two armies.

At this time, the flags of the Chu army were waving on the commander's platform, and the exciting war drums sounded again.

The originally dense military formation instantly opened a hole, and an armored warrior armed with heavy weapons came out to attack. Behind them were countless ordinary soldiers.

It is the consistent tactic of the Chu army to use heavily armored soldiers to break open the opponent's defense line, and then use ordinary soldiers to expand the victory.

Just a few breaths later, the drums in the Han army's formation also sounded.

"war!"

"war!"

A famous Burmese soldier shouted slogans and launched a charge towards the Chu army.

In an instant, the two collided.

Amidst bursts of killing cries that sounded like mountain roars and tsunamis, the moment the two armies came into contact, nearly a hundred soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

On the front line less than 500 meters away, there were scenes of blood spurting everywhere.In the fierce hand-to-hand battle, the formations of the two armies were thrown into chaos. Generals at all levels roared and led their men to maintain the nearly collapsed formation.

A heavily armored Chu warrior hit several people with the mace in his hand. In the blink of an eye, a dying Burmese infantry slit his throat with a dagger.

In the wilderness under Xunlin City, the Burmese army attacked the Chu army one after another. However, under Qu Zhen's methodical command, the Chu army was like an old turtle shrinking into its shell, and the defense was flawless. , leaving Wu Jianning on the opposite side with no choice but to exchange his life for another.

The Chu army's occasional sharp counterattacks made him extremely uncomfortable.

Although the Chu army's armor was strong and sharp, they were on the defensive and faced the Burmese army who was not afraid of death. For a while, the situation turned into a stalemate.

The marching drum of the Burmese Army's Central Army sounded again.

Li Miao looked at the entangled battle lines, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

"Heavy armored warriors, follow me forward!"

Following the sound of heavy footsteps, five hundred warriors wearing heavy armor and holding swords and shields rushed into the battlefield under the leadership of Li Miao.

This is the most elite force in Li Miao's hands.

The two soldiers at the front have been fighting for a long time, and now they are exhausted.

Li Miao led the Burmese army's elite soldiers to appear at this time and gave the Chu army a heavy blow.

The Chu army, unable to withstand the enemy, retreated step by step. In just the blink of an eye, they retreated more than fifty steps.

In just a short time, five soldiers were defeated by Li Miao's army.

"It's Li Miao, sending the order for Wu Song to lead the troops to block his offensive!"

On the commander's platform, looking at the front line of the Chu army that was being forced to retreat one after another, Qu Zhen frowned and gave instructions.

In the battle formation, when he saw the flag waving on the commander's platform, Wu Song's tense face finally showed a smile.

"Finally we can take action. Sons and gentlemen, follow me and kill!"

Wu Songhu roared, held up the blue dragon and white tiger swords, led his bodyguards, and rushed towards Li Miao's direction.

Li Miao cut a Chu army junior colonel into two pieces with an axe. He looked at the frightened eyes of the Chu army around him and felt extremely proud in his heart.

At this moment, a warning sign suddenly flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously turned sideways.

A sharp blade of light almost touched the tip of his nose.

"Are you Li Miao?"

Looking at the big man holding an ax in front of him, Wu Song asked in a deep voice.

"It's your Grandpa Li!"

After almost walking on the Naihe Bridge, Li Miao was frightened, roared, and struck Wu Song with an axe.

Wu Song just turned sideways and dodged easily.

"Since you're right, don't leave!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Song flashed, instantly closing the distance between the two of them, and slashed towards Li Miao's forehead with his blue dragon and white tiger swords.

Where did the monster come from?

Li Miao was so frightened by Wu Song's astonishing speed that he broke out in a cold sweat, but relying on his own experience, he used a move to set fire to the sky at the last moment, and he was able to use the ax handle to block Wu Song from slashing with his double swords.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a pain in his chest and he fell backwards involuntarily.

But it was Wu Song who made great achievements!
"General!"

Seeing that Li Miao was in a critical situation, the guards around him were frightened and rushed to support him, but they were stopped by the Chu troops around them.

Li Miao, who had fallen to pieces, had just stood up when he felt a flash of sword light in front of his eyes. The next moment, his consciousness sank into boundless darkness.

Seeing Wu Song beheading one of the opponent's generals like he was chopping melons and vegetables, the morale of the surrounding Chu troops was immediately boosted.

Li Miao was beheaded with a knife from his left hand. Wu Song asked the bodyguard who had just arrived to lift the head and shouted:
"Li Miao is dead!"

The surrounding Chu troops also responded one after another.

For a moment, the voice of "Li Miao is dead" resounded in the sky.

After hearing this, the front troops of the Burmese army couldn't help but lose their countenance, their morale plummeted, and in the blink of an eye they were pushed back by the Chu army.

"Li Miao... damn Chu people!"

Hearing that his vanguard general was killed by the opponent's formation, Wu Jianning's face turned as ugly as possible.

However, before he could come up with a countermeasure, another piece of bad news appeared in front of him.

"Commander, the former army came to report that they are about to be unable to resist."

A scout rider came to Wu Jianning, got off his horse and said loudly.

A bunch of useless things!

Wu Jianning was filled with hatred, but he had to wipe his ass for the former army.

"Tell the front-line soldiers to retreat from both flanks."

"Inform the two generals Ji Zhuo on both wings. If the front army breaks out and attacks the formation, shoot them directly!"

The most terrifying thing is to be attacked by rout soldiers. If you are not careful, it will cause a snowball effect and trigger a huge rout across the entire line.

Therefore, even if those defeated soldiers are our own, they cannot be allowed to be driven by the Chu people to attack their own formation.

In just the blink of an eye, the situation collapsed to this point, and Wu Jianning had to come up with his trump card in advance.

"Let General Lang lead the cavalry to charge again after a cup of tea after the war elephants launched a charge to defeat the Chu army's formation. Don't give the Chu people any time to regroup."

Myanmar is located in a hot and humid climate and is rich in elephants. They regard elephants as the auspiciousness of the country.

Over a long period of time, the Burmese people domesticated elephants and turned them into weapons of war. They gradually improved and developed giant elephants two feet tall.

The reason why Wu Jianning is full of confidence in war weapons such as giant elephants is because in previous wars with neighboring countries, as long as giant elephants are deployed, Myanmar will eventually win.

This time, in his opinion, was no exception.

Thirty giant elephants sent secretly were arranged by him in the center and rear of the military formation, so that he could easily launch a charge, break down the enemy's formation, and trample the enemy's soldiers.

Unlike the cavalry, due to their huge strength, the war elephants cannot be easily defeated by the infantry phalanx equipped with spears after charging.

Even if the enemy troops are not overwhelmed for a while, facing such a behemoth, they will be driven aside or have to retreat under pressure.

Even the established cavalry is at a disadvantage in front of war elephants, because ordinary war horses are not familiar with the scent of elephants and are extremely easily frightened in front of elephants.

This is the valuable experience summed up by Myanmar after previous wars.

The elephant's rough skin and thick flesh make it less susceptible to injury, and its huge advantages in height and weight provide excellent protection for the rider on the elephant's back.

This is true for elephants, let alone a giant elephant that is covered in iron armor and is two feet tall.

In today's era, it is simply a heavy tank level existence.

　4000 first, and the remaining 1000 will be paid tomorrow.
