This made Han Wangran a little confused: In a war, shouldn't both sides invest their troops and then start fighting? Why is it that at this moment, neither the Wei army on the opposite side nor Le Yi beside him are in a hurry to start a war?

Out of curiosity, Han Wangran asked humbly: "General Le, can you explain it?"

"This..." Le Yi thought for a moment. Of course, he was not hesitating whether to explain to the king, but he didn't know how to explain it to the latter. After all, the young king didn't know anything about military affairs.

After thinking for a while, Le Yi asked: "Is your Majesty proficient in playing chess?"

"I know a little bit about it," Han Wangran replied in confusion.

Seeing this, Le Yi explained: "The behavior of the Wei army and the last general on the opposite side at this moment is like the "drop point" and "small tip" in the chess game..."

Han Wangran was always a smart person. Hearing this, he suddenly understood. He nodded and said, "I understand."

As Le Yi said, his and Wei Jun's actions at this moment are indeed very similar to the positions in the chess game.

The "points" in the chess game are very important. They can be used to connect one's own chess pieces in a line, and they can also be used to cut off the opponent's chess path. This is similar to the situation on the battlefield at the moment - the Wei army sent out tortoise-shell chariots and weapons.

The purpose of the Gang Che is to occupy a favorable stronghold on the battlefield in advance, which can be attacked when advancing, and defended when retreating. Le Yi also sent his favorite general Ji Kuo for the same reason.

As for the battle between the two armies, what's the rush? How can a war involving 400,000 soldiers be ended in a short time? In such a long-lasting battle, strongholds are far more important than killing a few more enemy troops.

When Le Yi used chess to explain to Han Wangran, the two generals Chen Xie and Xu Jiong of the Shang Shui Army had also noticed Ji Kuo slowly emerging from the Korean army's formation, and targeted those in the latter's army.

Wugang drove his car and cursed loudly.

The reason is very simple, because the Wugang chariot is a chariot designed by His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Run to restrain the Korean cavalry. This chariot, which at first glance is inconspicuous, greatly increases the defensive capabilities of infantry and crossbowmen——

In fact, as long as there are a certain number of martial arts chariots in hand, even if the crossbowmen encounter the cavalry, it will not be in vain at all.

However, the despicable and shameless South Korea actually stole his Wei's chariots and used them on their Wei army. How could this not make the Wei army's soldiers angry?

But they were angry and angry, and the Wei army generals had no choice but to talk freely.

"...It's almost there. If you go forward, there will be no "open space"..."

After continuing to advance for a certain distance, Wei general Chen Xie ordered the entire army to stop, and then ordered his soldiers to coil the Wugang chariot into a circle. With the help of this chariot, a formation was constructed on the open battlefield.

A defensive stronghold.

Almost at the same time, Xu Jiong, another Wei general, and Ji Kuo, the Han general on the opposite side, also stopped advancing at the same time, as if they had a tacit understanding, and each used Wugang chariots to build defensive strongholds.

Seeing this scene, Han Wangran nodded secretly: Sure enough, this war and chess game are indeed similar in approach and purpose. Isn't this the "empty" in chess skills?

At the same time, on the viewing platform of the Wei army's main formation, the deputy general of the Shang Shui army, Zhai Huang, also noticed the Han army's countermeasures and frowned unconsciously.

He did not express any opinion on Le Yi's behavior of secretly learning the tactics of their Wei army. Instead, he admired Le Yi for this. After all, a general who is stuck in his own way and is shy about learning from his opponents cannot be said to be an excellent commander at all.

But in this way, this battle will be more difficult to fight.

"The next step is the positional battle..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhai Huang said in a deep voice: "Pass my order and order Ran Teng, Xiang Li, and Zhang Ming to march into the army."

After giving the order, Wei generals Ran Teng, Xiang Li, and Zhang Ming led their brave infantry and slowly headed towards the battlefield.

Since Chen Xie and General Xu Jiong had already built strongholds with tortoise-shell chariots and Wugang chariots in front of them, the Wei army's actions were much faster than before, which also made this battlefield finally gradually become more tense.

At the same time, on the Korean side, Le Yi also sent generals such as "Qi Jie" and "Gou Yi".

"Dong dong dong - dong dong dong -"

At the main position of the Wei army, the sound of war drums gradually began to beat.

Stimulated by the sound of the majestic war drums, Wei Junxiao sat Ran Teng astride his horse, his expression becoming more and more serious, as if he was brewing emotions.

Finally, Ran Teng's army crossed the line - the invisible line between the two strongholds built by the friendly forces of Chen Xie and Xu Jiong.

In an instant, Ran Teng suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted sternly: "Kill——!"

This war cry seemed to completely ignite the atmosphere of the battle, causing the battlefield atmosphere to suddenly increase to its peak.

Amidst the roars of countless Wei soldiers, Ran Teng's army, the elite of the Shang Shui army, plunged into the army that was being robbed by the Han general on the opposite side.

At the same time, Xiang Li and Zhang Ming, three brave generals of the Shang Shui Army, also found their opponents.

"Rescue—!"

"Crossbowman shoots!"

Suddenly, generals Chen Xie and Xu Jiong issued orders in their respective strongholds.

For a time, the crossbowmen in the two strongholds of the Wei army fired wave after wave of crossbow bolts at the Korean army on the opposite side. The dense rain of arrows made the Korean army unable to breathe.

"What is that guy Ji Kuo doing?! Is he just watching me being shot by Wei soldiers?!"

The Han general Qi Jie roared angrily when he saw that many of his soldiers were killed by the Wei army's crossbow bolts.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind him. As Le Yi's most trusted general, Ji Kuo would not just watch his own army being suppressed by the Wei army's crossbowmen. He had already ordered counterattacks and launched a counter-suppression.

For a moment, the arrows coming back and forth on the battlefield were like a tide of locusts. Even the infantry of the Wei army could only block their heads with their shields, because they could not judge which direction the arrows would come from. As for arrows hitting their bodies, they were even more vulnerable.

Out of consideration.

"kill!"

Ran Teng led his troops into the Korean army with his shield on his head. His mount had already been shot by the Korean army's crossbowmen and fell to death.

It has to be said that on such a tense battlefield, any general on horseback is a target for the opponent's crossbowmen. Especially for a general like Ran Teng who rushes to the front line, the survival time of his horse is,

Maybe just a few breaths.

Of course, the same goes for the generals on the Han army's side. In fact, the Wei army's side has snipers who specialize in hunting down enemy generals and can secretly attack the enemy's generals from a distance.

"puff--"

With one slash, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

A soldier of the Northern Yan Army may not have thought that the Wei soldier in front of him was actually a fierce general with the level of three thousand generals, but he was chopped to the ground by Ran Teng with a single blow.

But when Ran Teng chopped down several people and looked around subconsciously, he silently discovered that there were also casualties among his soldiers.

He was not shot to death by the Korean army's crossbowmen, but actually died in the hands of the Korean army's infantry.

It has to be said that for being able to defeat Wei soldiers in a head-on confrontation, the soldiers of the Northern Yan Army deserved the title of "Korea's Strongest Infantry".

"Damn it!"

Cursing secretly in his heart, Ran Teng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Where's Yang Wu? Where's Cao Zhi? Give it to me!"

What he shouted were all the most powerful soldiers in his Ran Teng army.

Not long after, Yang Wu's complaining voice could be heard vaguely in the distance: "I...I'm already here!"

Ran Teng turned around and saw Yang Wu holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. He shouted violently and rushed into the Korean army's formation, turning the Korean army's formation in that area upside down.

After nodding secretly, Ran Teng shouted again: "Where is Cao Zhi?! Where is he?!"

Soon after, a soldier told Ran Teng: "Cao Zhiqian was unfortunately shot in the neck by a stray arrow... and died in battle."

"This idiot..."

Ran Teng cursed through gritted teeth, but his eyes were slightly red.

However, at this moment, he did not care to mourn for his beloved general. After being silent for about two or three breaths, he shouted again: "Le Bao! You come and replace Cao Zhi!"

"yes!"

Not far away, Le Bao took a deep breath and bravely led his thousand-man team to the front line.

It is obviously impossible to say that he is not frightened, because in this kind of chaotic and high-density fighting, even if Lian Pi, Wu Ji and other fierce generals are personally at the forefront, they may be killed on the spot, and even more so

Not to mention other people.

"puff--"

There was a muffled sound, and Le Bao immediately frowned, turned around and saw an arrow flying from nowhere stuck in his right arm.

"...I'm about to be promoted to a general with two thousand men, how could I die in a place like this?!"

Roaring violently, Le Bao ignored the bright arrow on his arm and led the way into the Korean army's formation. He chopped down one Korean soldier after another with the sword in his hand, watching his friends who were taking a breather not far away.

Yang Wu was stunned: When did this kid become so brave?

However, despite Le Bao's extraordinary performance, another thousand-man general "Wei Min" belonging to Ran Teng's army was shot dead by a Korean crossbowman on the spot under the eyes of the Wei soldiers. He was hit by more than a dozen arrows.

He fell to the ground and died.

"Thousands of people from Wei Min will die in battle!"

Another piece of bad news reached Ran Teng's ears. Ran Teng gritted his teeth and burst out a sentence: "Li Hui! Ask Li Hui to step up!"

After that, regardless of his own safety, he led dozens of soldiers to rush into the Korean army's formation and kill them, thereby venting the anger and sadness in his heart.

In fact, it was not just Ran Teng's army. Regardless of the Wei army's Xiang Li and Zhang Ming, or the Han army's Qi Jie and Gou Yi, the warriors in their army suffered casualties one after another.

However, looking at the cruel battlefield ahead, both the Wei army's commander Zhai Huang and the Han army's commander Le Yi remained unmoved.

Because they know very well that this is the intensity of the "final battle".

The only question is how long this fierce fighting will last.

In other words, will a force suddenly appear and change the situation on the battlefield at this moment?

"...it's not the time yet."
