The three Wei brothers were dumbfounded, but after observing for a while, they all gave the same assessment of Sun Jian.
"Ha, this person is truly mediocre, he knows nothing, he doesn't even understand the most basic formation and lineup combination!"
"Bah! As a deputy captain of an army, this is an insult to his status! What kind of ridiculous lineup is this! A thousand men with the fighting strength of only four or five out of ten? How are they going to kill him?!"
Not only did the three Wei brothers mock him, but even the band of bearded soldiers and the old subordinates joined in the ridicule. Before the battle even began, these people already despised Sun Jian, the deputy commander, thinking that he had no ability and was just a mediocre person.
Being far away, Sun Jian naturally couldn't hear what these people were saying, let alone see the expressions on their faces.
After studying the formations and tactics of several people, he began to assign tasks to the soldiers.
With his method of deployment, there will be no need to use red or yellow flags for command later.
All you need to do is clearly explain the purpose, the process, and even how to deal with unexpected situations.
All four teams are ready and waiting for the war drums to sound so the drill can officially begin.
After Sun Jian finished giving his last words, the sound of war drums arrived as scheduled.
"Brothers, the time has come for you to show your strength!"
"Remember, as long as you agree to the battle, I, Sun Jian, will give you anything except my wife!"
After saying this, Sun Jian raised his fist high, "When facing an enemy, always draw your sword! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The thousand soldiers, like hungry tigers, clenched their fists and followed Sun Jian in raising their arms and shouting to the sky.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
These three shouts of "Kill!" were louder than the previous ones, like thunderclaps from a clear sky, causing a sharp pain in people's eardrums.
After the war drums sounded, Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao originally planned to launch a direct attack on Sun Jian's camp as planned. However, three resounding shouts of "Kill!" drew everyone's attention, and for a moment, they forgot the orders given by the two generals.
"What are you all standing there for? Stick to the original plan: one squad will intercept Liu Shiyun's troops, the rest of you maintain formation! Charge straight ahead!"
Wei Zhonghu shouted angrily and ordered the commander of a thousand men to raise the red flag, lower the yellow flag, and issue the order to attack.
"Charge!"
Without further hesitation, the soldiers, maintaining their Crane Wing Formation, charged directly at Sun Jian's troops.
At the same time, Wei Zhongbao's bandit soldiers charged towards Sun Jian's troops from another direction.
This was the plan that Wei Zhong'e had given them earlier.
Wei Zhong'e predicted that once the war drums sounded, Liu Shiyun would definitely support Sun Jian. He ordered Wei Zhongbao and Wei Zhonghu to send small groups of troops to intercept Liu Shiyun, while the other troops could pounce directly like tigers descending the mountain and wipe out Sun Jian's thousand men in the shortest time possible!
Wei Zhonghu's Crane Wing Formation charged forward, and Wei Zhongbao's Xuanxiang Formation also attacked from the east. Liu Shiyun wanted to help Sun Jian get out of trouble as soon as possible, but he did not expect that small groups of Wei's troops would stop his army.
This small force did not attack; it only defended.
Although it's easy for Liu Shijun's troops to break through this small force, it will take time!
"Let's see if you die now!"
Wei Zhong'e watched as the two groups of troops pounced like hungry wolves, and the commanding officers made no mistakes. His smile grew even brighter.
But what happened next left not only Wei Zhong'e dumbfounded, but also Wei Zhonghu and Wei Zhongbao.
As soon as their formation charged forward, Sun Jian's five squads immediately scattered, refusing to engage them head-on. Instead, they split into groups of eight and constantly changed their attack angles.
These 125 groups are far more mobile than they are.
Their formation crumbled completely once it broke down, so they couldn't run around like tigers chasing rabbits. For this reason, they didn't manage to kill a single one of Sun Jian's soldiers after charging forward.
"this……"
Liu Shiyun was shocked by what he saw and was speechless, not knowing what to say.
He looked at Sun Jian's troops in the distance with an incredulous gaze, and after a moment of thought, his eyes gleamed brightly.
This was exactly the situation Sun Jian wanted. He sat firmly on the command platform, not even needing to issue orders. Even the commanding captains became members of an eight-person team. Therefore, everyone only needed to defend and attack, and had to look at any command flags.
Gu Hu stood behind Sun Jian, gazing at Sun Jian's back with an admiring look.
It has to be said that Sun Jian has once again completely impressed him today.
The situation quickly turned into a tug-of-war, with the enemy advancing and us retreating, and the enemy retreating and us advancing.
Sun Jian looked at the battle situation, sneered, leisurely sipped his tea, and muttered to himself, "It seems the time has come."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his attacking troops suddenly launched a fierce attack on the enemy. The enemy hastily sent out shield bearers to defend, while simultaneously ordering archers to fire arrows from behind, aiming at the base of Sun Jian's formation.
Unfortunately, they misunderstood. Sun Jian's attacking force, although the main force, was only responsible for feigning an attack.
When the main force approached, they didn't attack, but instead just raised their shields to parry, which stunned everyone.
Nobody expected that the main force would attack, rushing up just to hold up a shield?
Just as they were focusing their attention on Sun Jian's main shield troops, two of Sun Jian's raiding parties began to attack Wei Zhonghu's Crane Wing Formation from the flanks like tigers.
The Crane Wing Formation is vulnerable to flanking attacks, and with the main force having just been defending against Sun Jian's attacking troops directly in front, the flanks have become a major weakness.
"superior!"
The various groups of the raiding force knew the time was ripe without needing command, because their predictions were almost identical to those made by Sun Jian.
Once they approached the enemy, the shield bearers opened a small gap, and the wooden spearmen immediately pulled out ropes and swung them towards the enemy formation. Once a rope was around their necks, they used their wooden spears to hook them.
Both the wooden spear and the wooden sword were coated with white powder; getting caught on them meant certain death.
Those who tried to lasso the enemy but failed were pulled in by the soldiers with all their might, who then yanked the ropes into the group, where the wooden swordsmen hacked at them wildly!
In this back-and-forth, Wei Zhonghu's Crane Wing Formation lost many soldiers.
"Stay calm! Stay calm! Don't panic!"
"Their attacking force is a feint; the main force is those who launched the sneak attack. Kill those men!"
Wei Zhonghu shouted anxiously from the platform, but his training ground was very large, and his troops had all rushed up there. Even if he shouted until his throat was hoarse, the soldiers could not hear him clearly.
He told others not to panic, but he himself was already sweating profusely.
Upon hearing Wei Zhonghu's words, the captain immediately waved his flag at the soldiers of the Crane Wing Formation.
