Chapter 85 of the final volume In the battle of the Wangxi Plain, the Sichuan army set up the most typical offensive formation, with the Ninth Army as the main force, acting as the vanguard of the whole army, like an arrow at the forefront, and the Eleventh Army and the Seventeenth Army as auxiliaries, like the tail of an arrow, followed by a strategy to assist in the defense of the two wings of the Ninth Army.
Welcome to Reading 78 The overall formation of the Sichuan army is defensive and offensive, and the division of labor is clear.
On the other hand, the rebels are undisciplined tactics, among the rebels, there are almost no people who have systematically learned the art of war, to be precise, there are no generals who are proficient in the art of war and tactics in their upper echelons, and until now they still retain the style of bandits, and they rush up in a swarm when they start a war.
When encountering an ordinary enemy, with the tradition of Sadajin's courage and good fighting and the strength of not being afraid of death, even if there is no formation, the enemy can be defeated, but when it encounters the regular Central Army, and it is also a legion battle, the disadvantages of not paying attention to the formation will be completely exposed.
In the clan war, the role that individual combat power can play is too limited, and the emphasis is on the overall coordination between the legions and the proficiency in the mastery and application of the formation, which are the strengths of the regular Sichuan army, and it is precisely the weakest point of the rebels.
Therefore, when the forces of the two sides were equal, the Zhen army did not have the upper hand from the beginning of the war.
Speaking of which, the Zhen army can be on par with the Sichuan army under this kind of disorganized and swarm forward tactics, and also start a long-term war of attrition with it, and replace it with people from other places, if it is a group of such rabble, let alone 200,000, even if it is 2 million, it will have been killed by the Sichuan army a long time ago.
Tao Yuanfeng, who was watching the battle with Li Shu in the back, his brows were twisted into a pimple at this time, looking at the Zhen army who was like a headless fly, he shook his head secretly, this is a legion battle, how can the Zhen army still seem to be a chaotic battle He said to Li Shu: "General, the Sichuan army has the strongest attack power of the arrow array, and our army should use the glaive array to break it."
The glaive array, as its name suggests, the whole formation is like a crescent, the middle is concave, the two wings are convex, this array focuses on the attack of the two wings, just to avoid the edge of the Sichuan army's central breakthrough in the front of the arrow formation, and the two wings slam the soft underbelly of the Sichuan army.
However, Li Shu's next words made Tao Yuanfeng completely speechless.
"Ah, General Tao, I don't know, what is the Glaive Array" "Tao Yuanfeng has already begun to scold his mother in his heart, you don't even know what the hell is called the Glaive Formation, and what kind of battle is it to fight, and it is really a miracle that the Zhen Army, who does not pay attention to the formation, can hold out in front of the Sichuan Army's Sharp Arrow Formation for so long.
He held back for a long time, and Fang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "General, it is really difficult for our army to win this battle, or, let's withdraw for the time being."
"Haha" Li Shu laughed on his back, waved his hand and said: "General Tao, I don't know what kind of glaive formation you are talking about, our Zhenren have been like this since ancient times, don't talk about any formation, only talk about success or failure, only talk about moving forward bravely, kill the enemy thief, either the enemy dies, or I die, in my Zhenren, there are only warriors with horse leather shrouds, and there are never cowards who retreat without a fight."
Li Shu's words made many of the surrounding ministers and generals nod their heads, which is also the tradition of the Zhenjun army.
Seeing this, Tao Yuanfeng stopped talking, and was secretly scolding in his heart, so he said, you deserve to be destroyed in Zhenguo, such an alien, it is not a pity to die.
The Zhen army fought with the neatly formed Sichuan army in a chaotic way, and in Tao Yuanfeng's opinion, it was indeed a little incredible.
The battle continues, and it seems to go on endlessly.
The regiments in front were all wiped out in formations, but immediately new regiments joined the battle to step forward, and the casualties of the officers and men on both sides also rose in a straight line.
The sky gradually darkened in the fierce battle between the two armies of Chuanzhen, and neither side had the intention of retreating from the truce, so they immediately started a night battle.
At this time, the Zhen army began to fall behind, and the Sichuan army's advantage in the formation gradually revealed, but the disadvantage shown by the Zhen army that fell behind was not very large, and it was still able to grit its teeth and continue to insist.
The intensity of the night battle was far less intense than during the day, but there were still many casualties on both sides.
Then, the battle between the two sides entered the second day.
The situation of the battle on the second day was similar to that of the night battle, the Sichuan army was superior, and the Zhen army was at a disadvantage, which may not be obvious at a cold glance, but it can be clearly felt through the changes in the positions of the two sides, the Sichuan army advanced more than a mile, and the Zhen army was retreated more than a mile.
Seeing that the Zhen army has begun to gradually lose the enemy, the next battle will only make the disadvantage of the Zhen army bigger and bigger, and the casualties will be more and more, Tao Yuanfeng, as the supervisor of the army, once again proposed to Li Shu that the whole army retreat for the time being, and choose the opportunity to fight to the death with the Sichuan army.
But Li Shu's reply is still the same, he swears not to retreat, and he will not retreat from the battle rather than return to the shroud.
Li Shu's ruthlessness from the bones made Tao Yuanfeng completely out of line, he was the commander of the whole army, he didn't order a retreat, and he couldn't do anything about it.
After a day and night of fierce fighting, the two sides entered the third day.
At this time, both sides were exhausted, and they had already exhausted all the tactics they knew, and what they fought was no longer combat tactics, coordination or formations, but the willpower of the soldiers on both sides.
Sadato's strengths were finally revealed at this time, tenacious, ferocious and ruthless, able to endure pain, able to resist the fear of death, there were no superfluous thoughts in his mind, and the word "escape" would not even appear, only the desire to survive, either to kill the enemy or to be killed.
In this regard, the Sichuan people are far inferior to the Sadato, or no one can compare to the Sadato.
After three days of fierce fighting, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere as far as the eye could see, all of them were bloody and fleshy, and they were trampled and deformed.
The soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, and the back is burying pots and cooking.
The Sichuan army pays attention to the formation, and in the fierce battle, it can replace the corps between the corps, so that the soldiers who are full of food can replace those who are drunk and hungry, but there is no formation on the side of the Zhen army, and the soldiers who rush to the front can't get down at all, if they want to get out of the battle, there are only two ways, either be killed by the enemy, or end the battle.
But the battle has been fought for three days, and I don't know how long it will last, and the soldiers of the Zhenjun army who fought in front of them will also drink and starve, in order to have the physical strength to continue fighting, in order to survive, they must eat and drink, but they are in the center of the battle, where can they find something to fill their stomachs At this time, the soldiers of the Zhen army made a move that made the opposite Sichuan army stunned and numb in the scalp, people dismembered the corpses all over the battlefield into pieces, and then picked them up and gnawed on them, and then looked at those Zhen soldiers, their eyes were red, their faces were red, and even their teeth turned blood red, people drank human blood, gnawed on human flesh, and held weapons in one hand, and continued to pounce on the Sichuan army with indistinct screams.
In the eyes of the Sichuan people, who have always regarded themselves as the highest civilization, where is the Zhenjun on the other side still human, a beast, a demon, and it doesn't look like a human being anyway.
There were many Sichuan soldiers whose nerves were on the verge of collapse when they saw the terrifying scene of Zhenjun's cannibalism, and even some Zhenren pounced on the Sichuan people like mad dogs, biting their throats and sucking their blood, their nerves completely collapsed, screaming and fleeing to the rear regardless of it.
Such a scene made Tao Yuanfeng, who was in the same camp as the Zhen Army and was far away from the battlefield, feel creepy and shuddered, this is simply a devil army, if the Sichuan Army at this time is replaced by the Wind Army, I am afraid that it will also be like the current Sichuan Army, and will be scared away by the terrifying Zhenren in groups If Li Shu is really allowed to make his power bigger and stronger, in the future, the Sichuan Kingdom will certainly be unlucky, but it will definitely become a big problem for the Wind Country At this time, Tao Yuanfeng really had a sense of fear for Zhenren, which was a fear from the depths of his heart.
And the fear he has now will also directly affect the attitude of the Wind Country towards Li Shu's forces later, of course, this is a later story.
Seeing that the front army was in chaos and a large number of soldiers fled down, the commander of the Sichuan army reacted very quickly and immediately sent a supervising army to stabilize the collapse of the front army.
Under the strong pressure of the overseer army, the front army of the Sichuan army finally stabilized, and the people continued to fight against the Sadato on the opposite side.
For the Sichuan army, this battle can be described as the hardest nightmare of their lives.
The battle continued from the third day to the fifth day, and the fierce fighting of the whole five days and nights completely disabled the combat strength of the two armies of Sichuan and Zhen, and the casualties on both sides were so high that it was difficult to count, and the center of the battlefield was piled up like a mountain of corpses.
By now, there is not much left of the stubborn willpower of the Sadato, and a considerable number of soldiers have been so tired that they can't even pick up their weapons, so they can only scuffle with the enemy on the opposite side with their bare hands, and even worse, they are so tired that they can't stand up, and they sit next to the enemy, panting and looking at each other directly.
If the fight continues according to the current situation, the two sides can only have the same result in the end, and the jade is burned, and to this point, both sides are no longer winners, and they have lost in a mess.
In the end, it was the Sichuan army that took the lead in sending envoys to make peace with the Zhen army.

Li Shu did not insist this time, accepted the peace talks of the Sichuan army, and the two sides made a truce and retreated.
This protracted battle on the Wangxi Plain finally ended when the two armies of Sichuan and Zhen were exhausted.
In this battle, the Ninth Army of the Sichuan Army suffered all the casualties, the Eleventh and Seventeenth Army Corps suffered heavy losses, and the army of 200,000 people was finally left with more than 60,000 people.
As for the Zhen army, the battle loss rate is similar to that of the Sichuan army, more than 200,000 people, and only 80,000 people were withdrawn in the end, it can be said that after the battle of the Wangxi Plain, the troops of both sides of the Sichuan army were disabled, and there was no winner, but in terms of overall strategy, the Sichuan army was victorious, they withstood the offensive of the rebels and held Fantiao County, while the Zhen army lost very badly, and was slapped back to Bainan County by others, and the strength was difficult to recover in a short period of time, and then for a long time can only bear the situation of passive beating
