Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 419 Shrinking Ground Formation
Thirty miles away from Lujiang City, leaning against the dense forest, the east and south armies of the Yangzhou Army gathered here and caught up with the fleeing Jingzhou soldiers.

On the plain, the 1 troops led by Zhang Han stood in formation like a fan, putting an invisible pressure on the Jingzhou Army.This kind of pressure comes not only from the number of Yangzhou Army, but more from the momentum of Yangzhou Army.To know the soul of an army is not how many it has, nor how brave and good the soldiers are.Rather, it lies in the aura of the army. Here in the Yangzhou Army, no one in the army speaks, the queue is neat, the banners cover the sky, and the soldiers wait for the commander's order with a tall and straight posture.On the side of the Jingzhou Army, every soldier has the word fear written on their faces at the moment. Now everyone dare not face the Yangzhou Army in front of them, and they are afraid of fighting with them. I have to bite the bullet and rush forward.Because even if they escape now, they will be killed by the Yangzhou Army.Since it is useless to run away, it is better to fight to the death in order to protect yourself.

Zhang Han rode on a white horse with a cloud sea bow on his back, looking heroic.At this moment, he sneered, looking at the Jingzhou army formation opposite, it seemed that he was fully in control of the enemy's mentality at the moment.Standing beside Zhang Han were two generals, Ma Chao and Zhang Rui in silver armor.Lu Meng and Lu Xun rode behind Zhang Han in long robes.

"Zhuge Liang, in Lujiang City, you should have seen the strength of the main force of my Yangzhou army! I advise you not to resist and surrender to our army. With your ability, you will definitely be reused by my lord. Although Liu Bei is ambitious, It can be helpful. But Liu Bei's background is too poor to make things happen. You don't have to dig into the horns and say that you have to swear allegiance to the death. Only power is king in success and defeat. Those who would rather die than surrender are fools. How about it? Surrender!" Zhang Han opened his throat and said loudly.

The soldiers of the Jingzhou army shook their heads and sighed when they heard Zhang Han's words. For nearly a month, they have been attacking the Lujiang River hard, and they have been losing soldiers and generals.Then when Lujiang was finally captured through a sneak attack through tunnels, it was defeated by the reinforcements of the Yangzhou Army led by Zhang Han, and the situation was reversed.These successive blows have completely demoralized the Jingzhou army. Facing the pursuit of the Yangzhou army at this moment, they are already depressed.

Although the rescue plan this time was led by Zhang Han, the actual operation was done by Zhang Rui, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and other students from Nanjing College.At first, before arriving at Lujiang, Zhang Han had already received the news that Lujiang was besieged by Zhuge Liang's army.By the time of Lujiang, Zhuge Liang's army had already entered the city.However, there is still a fortress of Qiaojiazhuang in Lujiang City. If you want to take Lujiang completely, Qiaojiazhuang must also be broken.In Zhang Han's mind, the Jingzhou army had just broken through the Lujiang River, so there should be no time to attack Qiaojiazhuang.At such a critical moment, Lu Xun proposed to attack the Lujiang River from the east gate and south gate while the enemy army had just entered the city and was not stable, and fought street battles with the Jingzhou army.The reason for this is that the Yangzhou army is dispatching the main force this time, which is superior in numbers. Or take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not completely occupied Lujiang as a reliance, launch a field battle first and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. This will not only save Lujiang , and it can also eliminate the Jingzhou army, which is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

So Zhang Rui and Lu Meng led 2 troops to bypass the south gate to attack, while Ma Chao and Lu Xun led 3 troops to attack the east gate, and drove the Jingzhou army out of the city in less than an hour.Having said that, thanks to Zhuge Liang who was good at observing the battle situation and giving the order to retreat in time, otherwise Lu Xun's plan to wipe out the Jingzhou soldiers would have been perfectly realized.

However, even if the Jingzhou army escaped from the city, it would be a loss of troops. Looking at the ragged appearance of the Jingzhou army, Zhang Rui and Ma Chao's fighting spirit became stronger. As long as Zhang Han gave an order, They will rush forward desperately and kill the enemy.

And just when the Jingzhou soldiers were still thinking about Zhang Han's words, Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed and said: "My lord often said that Zhang Zizhou, the number one counselor next to Zhao Lei, was eloquent and unpredictable. He once scolded Zhang Han under Changshan. Zhang Jiao vomited blood. When I saw him today, his eloquence really lived up to his reputation."

"Congratulations, congratulations, I just told the truth in the previous remarks, and it has nothing to do with my eloquence." Zhang Han cupped his hands towards Zhuge Liang.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly changed his face and said: "Tongue dry! Although you can speak eloquently, how can I Jingzhou soldiers be affected by your rumors. My lord is a real Han clan, and the troops under his command are also regular imperial court Army horses. How dare you wait for the rebel army to be arrogant and domineering in front of the imperial army. All the soldiers are quiet, and listen to me."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhang Han also showed a smile, because he wanted to see how eloquent Zhuge Liang was in history.The reason why he said so much nonsense earlier was to elicit Zhuge Liang's sophistry.

After the Jingzhou army had almost calmed down, Zhuge Liang held a Zhuque feather fan and said slowly: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. We should have taken Lujiang today, but God refused to let the enemy's reinforcements catch up with us." Yes. However, this failure does not mean anything, because we have always been the army of the great man. As the saying goes, the evil cannot overcome the good. Since ancient times, there has also been a truth that the weak can defeat the strong. Now Zhao Lei's army of rebels is huge, and they want to take down the imperial army in one fell swoop. Annihilation means overthrowing the great Han. As a member of the imperial court, you eat the royal salary. At such a time of national calamity, you don’t think about making progress, but are seduced by the enemy’s rhetoric. Isn’t it shameful?”

"What is that little kid Zhuge Liang doing? How could his own commander scold his soldiers in front of the enemy?" Ma Chao blurted out, completely forgetting that he was only in his early 20s.

"He's not scolding his soldiers, but boosting the morale of his troops," Zhang Han said.

Before Zhang Han finished his sentence, there was agitation in the Jingzhou army, and suddenly a voice came out: "The military master is right, we are the troops of the imperial court, we should not be timid, we should fight to the death with the bandits!!!"

"The military adviser is right, the bandit army is too crazy, dare to fight with our regular court troops, kill them all!!!"

In fact, these Jingzhou troops were not the troops of the imperial court at all, and they were just recruited by Liu Bei from the people.However, Zhuge Liang made good use of the convenience of Liu Bei's surname, and forcibly recruited this militia force into the regular army of the imperial court.Anyway, the commander-in-chief who owns this army is surnamed Liu, so it doesn't matter if he is an imperial army.And these ordinary people have no education, and Zhuge Liang said that one or two of them seemed to be able to be officials for themselves, and they were also eating the salary of the court. The sense of superiority was aroused from the bottom of their hearts, which led to the morale of the entire army. rise for it.

Seeing the improved morale of the Jingzhou Army, Zhang Han could only smile wryly. He couldn't help but lament the simplicity of the ancients, especially those ordinary people who had never seen anything in the market. It was too easy to deceive them.

Although Zhang Han seemed to be at a disadvantage in this eloquence confrontation, he failed to persuade the Jingzhou army to surrender.However, apart from improving the morale of his own troops, Zhuge Liang did not gain any real benefits, because the Yangzhou army is obviously in the upper hand in the current environment. If they really fight, Zhuge Liang believes that the morale of the Jingzhou army will be immediately destroyed The army fought nothing.

Zhang Han also realized this, so he immediately ordered to Ma Chao and Zhang Rui beside him to attack from the left and right to annihilate the Jingzhou army.Zhang Han's purpose is very clear, absolutely not to let Zhuge Liang get out of here alive, even though he is only a child now, but in order to prevent the breeding of tigers, and at the same time to prevent Liu Bei from appearing a super-class adviser in the future, Zhang Han must now kill the killer , Zhuge Liang was not even given the chance to surrender.

Seeing Ma Chao and Zhang Rui's troops sprinting towards him, Zhuge Liang didn't seem too flustered, but said to the military commander beside him unhurriedly: "Order Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to retreat using the method of shrinking the ground." .”

After the military commander gave the order, the Jingzhou army began to retreat slowly, but the formation suddenly became distorted.

Zhang Han originally expected the Jingzhou Army to retreat, but when he saw the strange retreat formation of the Jingzhou Army, he was also very puzzled.Because under such pursuit by the Yangzhou army, the Jingzhou army did not retreat at all in a hurry, and the team was very neat, without the retreating rout.Zhang Han is also frowning at this moment, recalling the name of this retreat formation in his mind.

Half an hour later, Ma Chao and Zhang Rui still couldn't catch up with the Jingzhou army, but Zhang Han and others who were in the rear army could see clearly that Zhang Rui and Ma Chao had been spinning around in situ from beginning to end, completely aimless chase.Just when Ma Chao and Zhang Rui rode their horses out of breath and walked to Zhang Han to report, Zhang Han said in shock: "Could this be the legendary method of shrinking the land?"

"The method of shrinking the land? Brother Han, is there such a spell? Is this also a mysterious technique?" Lu Xun asked.

Zhang Han nodded and said: "The method of shrinking the ground is to use the footwork to create the illusion of the enemy's distance, and quickly approach the enemy or stay away from the enemy without knowing it. The shrinking ground can be divided into front and rear and left and right. It is difficult to shrink from the left to the right. Ground. Rapid footwork movement requires high coordination with the formation. Use footwork operations to enter and stay in the blind spot of the enemy's vision, making yourself disappear in the eyes of the enemy, and you will never be able to catch up. But I It seems that the Jingzhou army's method of shrinking the land is not yet mature, because most of the Jingzhou soldiers follow the footsteps of those veterans. In other words, these veterans are the eyes of the formation. Although we cannot break the formation, we You can rely on the unfamiliarity of those new recruits to hunt down, and you can also severely damage the Jingzhou army!"

"But military division, how can we catch up with them?" Ma Chao asked.

"Although I don't know the secret of this formation, it's so difficult to catch up with them. As long as you walk according to their pace, those visual blind spots will no longer exist. Soldiers wandering outside the formation like this Can catch up." Zhang Han said.

"No!" After listening to Zhang Han's words, Ma Chao and Zhang Rui put on their armor and mounted their horses again, and galloped away with the cavalry of the Yangzhou Army.

"Zhuge Liang even knows how to form this formation. It's really not easy! If this formation is well coordinated, I won't be able to break through it! Crouching Dragon, it really is not easy!" Zhang Han sighed and said helplessly.
