There were 5,000 Fang La troops hiding at the southern exit of Sanyuan Ridge. However, they were not from Fang Shifo, but came from Changshu City ahead. The leading general was none other than the Changshu garrison after hearing the order. They set up an ambush here this time entirely on the orders of Pang Wanchun as a back-up for this ambush. If Fang Shifo won a complete victory here, they would not have to show up, but once the battle situation changes, especially when Song Dynasty When the army wants to forcefully break through the pass, this ambush force can break out in time to cut off its path.
So when they suddenly appeared, even Fang Shifo and his subordinates were a little shocked, but then they shouted in surprise and shouted for reinforcements to block the Song army's path. Although due to the distance and the noisy environment on the battlefield, they It was impossible for the sound to be transmitted clearly several miles away, but they still kept shouting loudly.
Just because at this time Fang Shifo also realized that the Shandong Army in front of him was far more terrifying than he had judged. To be able to maintain an orderly formation under such an ambush, choose the most reasonable tactics, and sacrifice a small number of soldiers and horses in exchange for a chance to escape from this dangerous situation. Even his elite divisions would find it difficult to do so. .
Thinking about the outcome of the battle in Danyang that day made him even more uneasy. Because once the Song army is allowed to rush out of the mountains and form a formation in the broad plains ahead, he will completely lose the advantage he has worked so hard to build, and may be defeated by his opponent again. That's why he would force the Huainan Army to attack the Shandong Army's rear at all costs. Coupled with the interception of the Changshu garrison in front and his own pursuit from behind, he would be able to completely keep the Song Army on this mountain!
When he saw this group of people coming out ahead, Sun Tu's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a beat faster. The other party had locked the last way out, so what should he do? What's even more troublesome is that the Huainan Army is constantly rushing behind them. They are about to rush into their own team and completely disrupt the entire army's formation!
This is what makes pig-like teammates scarier than god-like opponents on the battlefield. Because not only will they not cooperate with you, but they will become a huge burden and completely offset the little advantage you have built up with great difficulty.
What's even more troublesome is that at this time, Sun Tu was unable to order the Shandong Army to turn their guns and attack the Huainan Army who were previously his colleagues. Otherwise, his originally monolithic army would be shaken or collapsed. After all, this is inconsistent with the philosophy of the sergeants. It didn't match, and the enemy troops coming from behind wouldn't give him any more time to clear the door.
At this moment, everyone in the Shandong Army was a little frightened and confused. Many people looked at Sun Tu, waiting for their commander to create another miracle like before. Sun Tu's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he decisively issued an order that left many people confused: "Everyone, please spread out to the left and right, and clear the way forward!"
Even though many subordinates did not understand the purpose of Sun Tu's order, their tacit understanding and habits over the years still allowed them to quickly follow the order. At the same time they immediately stopped their forward movement, the entire army quickly separated and moved to the left and right. The two sides dodged away, and even though there were constant arrows falling like rain from both sides, they didn't let them retreat even half a step!
And just when the entire army suddenly separated and gave way to the middle of the mountain road, the Huainan Army at the forefront had already arrived. When they saw this scene and saw that there were enemies rushing towards them from the front, many people stopped in their tracks, and the look of fear on their faces became more intense - there were interceptors in front and pursuers behind.
Now there is really only one way to die!
But the comrades who were fleeing behind could not let them stop and block their way of escape. In just a moment, more people and horses came rushing towards them, shouting as they ran: "Hurry up, the rebels are going to be killed." Here we come!" The rear team collided with the front team, knocking over many of their comrades who were parked in the middle of the road and stepping on them.
For a moment, screams could be heard endlessly. However, these Huainan troops who had lost their courage no longer cared about their comrades at their feet. They just kept moving forward, facing the enemies coming from the front, and continued to move forward. Because at this time, they were completely on the ropes. Even if they stopped and were not overtaken and killed by counterattacks, they would be crushed to death by other comrades who were fleeing. In this case, it was better to rush forward with all their strength and see if they could escape. There is a bloody road ahead.
Then, a magical scene appeared on Sanyuan Ridge -
The Huainan Army, which was chased by the enemy like a lost dog, actually broke through the Shandong Army in front like a wave. Then they all howled and rushed straight towards the blocking Changshu defenders in front with red eyes. The Shandong Army, which was pushed away by them, stood firmly against the mountain wall, observing the battle while dealing with the enemy troops on the left and right, and actually defended it steadily.
Fang Shifo's troops, who were following the rear and planned to take advantage of the chaos of the Song army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, were a little dumbfounded at this time, because the result was really far from what they expected. This choice of the Shandong army was too great. It's so weird that people still haven't come back to their senses.
Fang Shifo was shocked, and for the first time his eyes showed fear and respect, because he had already seen how terrible the Shandong Army's actions were. If he had led the army to face such a situation, he would never be able to let it go. The whole army made such a crisp move in just a few moments to avoid the impact from the rear!
Spreading out to the left and right to give way to the middle is simple. But you must know that this is on an already narrow mountain road, and it is a huge army. This order can be conveyed and implemented in a short time, which is enough to prove how strong this army is in obeying and trusting its commander. Now, he has truly commanded the entire army, which is the highest state that many generals have hoped to achieve since ancient times!
However, the current battle situation did not allow Fang Shifo to express too much emotion on this matter, because he found that the battle situation had undergone a fundamental change at this moment, and he had changed from a pursuer to a prey in the eyes of the Song army, because At this time, the Shandong Army quickly turned around and gathered, and then rushed towards them.
Only then did Fang Shifo suddenly wake up. In order to complete the battle, he actually gave up his most advantageous advantage. He did not continue to lead people to harass from above, but called down more than 80% of the troops. Chase the enemy from the mountain road. In this way, when the enemy no longer flees for his life, but suddenly fights back with the momentum of a last-ditch fight, it can only be a simple competition between the two sides' combat power, without any tricks at all.
To be honest, he really didn't expect to end up like this, because in his opinion, after encountering an ambush, the only thing the Song Army could do was flee south, or even collapse on the spot, even if the opponent really planned to fight to the death. It is also difficult to turn around. After all, the terrain here is not conducive to turning around the large group of troops. Once the formation is in chaos, the death will only be worse.
But obviously, the discipline of the Shandong Army was far beyond his expectation. Even under such unfavorable circumstances, it was still able to do it.
The whole army turned back, but not only did their formation remain unchanged, but they also erupted with a more terrifying momentum. For example, the waves hitting the rocks turned back and rolled back, with more momentum than the waves rushing forward.
Fang La's army, which had little psychological preparation, collided head-on with the Shandong army in a panic. In just a moment, their formation was disrupted and broken. A large number of soldiers were killed and fell to the ground. The people behind were even more He was so frightened that he stepped back, not daring to confront this terrifying enemy force head-on.
After discovering this, Fang Shifo's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was about to bleed. This was a result he couldn't accept. Even if he had miscalculated the Song army's reaction before, and even if the enemy army looked much stronger than he had expected, he would never allow himself to be defeated like this. You know, he had the absolute upper hand in this battle!
"Kill!" With a violent roar, Fang Shifo waved his copper hammer, blowing out like a whirlwind and rushing towards the largest flag in front, because he knew very well that this flag was the soul of the Song Army, below There must also be a general of their three armies. As long as he is killed, the situation of the war can be reversed again.
Sun Tu, who was under the banner, still looked pale after being injured, but his eyes were as cold as a knife. He immediately clenched his gun and wanted to fight him.
But at this time, the two of them shouted almost at the same time: "There is no need for Qianji to take action, the general will kill the enemy and destroy the thieves right now!"
"Qianji just rest and recover while I break the thief!"
Before the roar ended, the two cavalrymen were already rushing out like flying. It was Lu Junyi and Lin Chong who left the formation and rushed out. Even Yue Fei next to Sun Tu looked eager to try. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity as a soldier, he would have rushed over.
Only then did Sun Tu exhale with a smile. With his two senior brothers leading the charge back, he had an 80% chance of winning this battle. After all, this battle no longer relies on any cleverness. It relies on solid attacks. The elite soldiers and the bravery of the generals are the key to victory. In this world, at least the enemy who can withstand the joint attack of Lu Junyi and Lin Chong is It has never happened before.
Sure enough, once Lin and Lu rushed out, they were like fire passing through, killing several enemy soldiers in an instant, and quickly suppressed the enemy troops who were still capable of fighting. Then, Fang Shifo also roared and charged straight at him, and the fierce generals of the two armies finally officially collided head-on!
Amidst the violent roar, Fang Shifo's bronze hammer turned into a black light, and with a bang, a Song soldier in front of him was hit and thrown away. The man was in the air, screaming and spitting blood, and his condition was very miserable. This made the other soldiers and generals who originally wanted to surround and kill him feel guilty and stop their steps.
Seeing this, Fang Shifo became even more ferocious, laughed ferociously, and rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind. The two bronze hammers rose and fell one after another, constantly bombarding all enemies on the way forward, killing more than ten or twenty people. They were all beaten to the point where their bones were broken and their muscles were broken, and they screamed in agony. The army that was still moving forward was unexpectedly forced to retreat after being killed by one of them.
As the most powerful general in Wu's army, Fang Shifo's reputation was earned entirely through bloody battles, and there was absolutely no trickery involved.
And just when he was ready to kill, he rushed forward dozens of feet with an unstoppable momentum, frightening all the Shandong Army soldiers who were good at fighting and did not dare to fight, a simple sword suddenly flashed out from the side, and in front of him When another hammer hit a soldier, the blade of the sword flew out like a sword and hit the charged hammer, blocking the fatal blow.
