The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 837 The Great Showdown ([-])
At this time, even though the Shanyue people's troops were in shock, at least they did not collapse, and their mood was relatively stable.

Then, inside the Shanyue people's army formation in front, several young commanders shouted: "The whole army raises their shields and prepares to defend!"

With a swipe, all Shanyue people raised their shields.They all use round shields, which are completely different from the hexagonal shields used by the Shu Han army in large military formations.The Shanyue people seem to be relatively light, but because they are round shields, when the whole army is held up high, there must be a gap at the top. This is where they are inferior to the hexagonal shields.

As a result, after four consecutive waves of arrow rain, the Shanyue people's army lost at least nearly 300 soldiers.Such casualties did deal a certain blow to the morale of the Shanyue troops.However, they were still advancing, and at this time, since the distance between the two sides had reached less than [-] steps, the bow and arrow team could no longer exert their maximum power, and they began to accelerate towards Jiangdong Army.

At this time, the infantry battalion also reacted in the same way as the Shanyue people.At the order of the infantry lieutenant, the soldiers of the infantry battalion formed the middle army formation and began to break away from the archers on both wings and charged forward.

At this moment, Liu Chan realized that there should be 500 archers in ambush on the two wings of the infantry battalion!It was these people who, in just a short while, caused the Shanyue people's army to lose almost the same number of combat power as their own!
Liu Chan frowned, the power of the archery team should not be underestimated.Moreover, his heart also moved, and he immediately made corresponding arrangements.

On the battlefield, the troops of the Shanyue people and the troops of the infantry battalion collided. The numbers of both sides are not too many now, but the infantry battalion has the upper hand.In addition, these people are all elite soldiers. After the two sides charged for a while, the difference in combat effectiveness was revealed.

The Shanyue people's army is indeed inferior to the infantry battalion, and some places are beginning to be unable to resist.But at this time, the fight between the two sides had actually only passed two quarters of an hour.

At this time, the archers of the Jiangdong Army had already put away their longbows, and suddenly drew out the short swords equipped at their waists, and rushed into the battlefield!

This was definitely an unexpected accident. The change of the enemy's archery team once again surprised Liu Chan.

Although the number of archers in the Jiangdong Army was small and they all used short weapons, they did not directly step forward to join the battle.They quickly bypassed the front line, and suddenly launched an attack on the left flank of the Shanyue Army.

The Shanyue people's current battles were already time-consuming, and the left wing was completely unprepared for such a sudden blow, so that it collapsed very quickly.

As soon as the left wing collapsed, it immediately affected the central army, and finally the battle on the right wing.

The Shanyue Army was immediately defeated across the board, and the soldiers began to throw away their helmets and armor and flee to Liu Chan's main formation.

Fortunately, Liu Chan had already prepared for such a scene in advance.He immediately dispatched messengers to let the prominent swordsman troop in front of him, which was ready to go, immediately suppress the infantry battalion who charged over, so that they would not be able to attack his own formation.

Seeing that his infantry battalion won easily, Sun Quan felt very happy in his heart.And just as Liu Chan expected, he was indeed prepared to let the infantry battalion attack the enemy's main line immediately after the victory. After causing a certain degree of confusion to the enemy, the troops on his side that were already suppressing the front would rush over to give Yu support.Coupled with the help of the two elite troops of the Yueqi Battalion and the Shesheng Battalion who have not yet been dispatched, it should not be a problem to directly break through the enemy's formation.

And just when Sun Quan was about to send an order for the Yueqi Battalion to attack, he suddenly discovered that Liu Chan had made a move first, and a troop of swordsmen and poker players suddenly rushed into the battlefield and met the infantry battalion.

Originally, the Yueqi Battalion should be a cavalry team, but because Jiangdong has always been short of war horses, some of them only paid tribute from Shixie's family in Jiaozhou, but those cavalry had about 1000 people, but they were sent by Jiang Qin in Nanjun. All time wasted.Therefore, the Yueqi Battalion does not actually have horses and cavalry. This is just a troop with a nominal designation, and its members are still infantry.

Of course, in order to reflect the designation of the "Yueqi Battalion" of this unit, this unit is actually a light armored unit, and the personnel selected are also quick and agile.Therefore, this is an extremely fast-moving force with the momentum to move like the wind.This is why Sun Quan decided to use them to catch up to support the action of the infantry battalion, and he was convinced that they could catch up.

But Sun Quan saw that Liu Chan had made preparations, and the infantry battalion could no longer attack the enemy's formation. After a little hesitation, he immediately decided to withdraw the infantry battalion temporarily.

Otherwise, with the remaining strength of the infantry battalion, the infantry battalion has already tested the main formation close to the opponent. Once the enemy army dispatches a large number of people to attack immediately, even if there is a Yueqi battalion on his side, the rescue will probably be delayed. Time, causing unnecessary losses to the infantry battalion.

So, Sun Quan immediately stopped beating the drums and changed to beating gold to withdraw troops.

Liu Chan heard the sound of the other party's gong, and he was relieved immediately.At this time, he didn't want to continue to let the sword players chase the infantry battalion. After all, this was just a tentative attack. His goal had been achieved, and Sun Quan's use of troops was indeed unique.Therefore, Liu Chan also withdrew his troops at Mingjin.

Then, Liu Chan sent people to recollect the troops of the Luo Shanyue people, and asked them to drive to the rear of the formation immediately to reorganize the army formation. As for the wounded, all the patients were sent to the field hospital for treatment.

At the same time, Yu Jin had already started a war with Zhuge Ke's men.

But their side is different from Liu Chan's side.

What Liu Chan was facing was Sun Quan's main elite troops, and they were all elite troops that had never been known to outsiders.The Shu Han has almost no way of knowing what their combat effectiveness is, so Liu Chan must use the Shanyue troops to launch a tentative attack to test the combat effectiveness of the opponent's army.

The high combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Jiangdong Army this time, especially their combat methods, was indeed somewhat beyond Liu Chan's expectations.

As for the enemy army that Yu Jin faced this time, part of it was actually a new army newly formed by Zhuge Ke, and the combat effectiveness may not be very high.Therefore, a veteran like Yu Jin can of course play his own style according to the actual situation.

Yu Jinke was not as cautious as Liu Chan. When the two sides started, he immediately sent his Jiefan army as the main force to launch a strong attack on Zhuge Ke's army.

The armies of both sides immediately started a deadly clash.

From the current point of view, the battle situation on Yu Jin's side is far more intense than that on Liu Chan's side.

The battlefield on Zhang Fei's side was farther away from Liu Chan's side, and they were still confronting Zhuge Jin's men across the water.The situation on their side is the calmest, and the battle has not yet started, which somewhat tests the patience of the generals on both sides.
