Preparations for the officers and troops continued. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The things that Li Qin asked Liu Bei to prepare also gathered in Li Qin's hands little by little.

Li Qin applied for a "retreat" from Liu Bei, and pushed everything in the military to Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye, who was mysteriously tinkering with something alone in a deserted village that was strictly blocked.

No one knew what he was doing, but he heard from the soldiers who blocked the deserted village that these days the deserted village often remembered the inexplicable thunder, and when the thunder started, there was no dark cloud in the sky.

"Is Yuanhua really alchemy? Listening to such thunder, the Dan he practiced was too dangerous. Looking at Liu Ye and Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei said worriedly.

He looked at the two of them anxiously: "Aren't the three of you living nearby?" You should be able to see how he doesn't persuade. ”

"Persuaded! But it's useless......" Liu Ye lowered his head and was a little frustrated.

"Yuan Hua said that he had his own arrangements! Don't look at his plain and indifferent appearance, in fact, he is very stubborn in his heart. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. Xi Zhicai's voice suddenly became smaller. A wry smile appeared on his face, obviously he was also a little helpless about Li Qin's stubbornness.

"So just look at it?" Liu Bei was stuck there, not knowing what kind of expression he should make.

"I think we should believe in Yuanhua. As a strategist, he should care a lot about his life. And judging from the situation in the past few days, he seems to be fine...... Isn't it? Liu Ye said with a smile.

However, as if as a footnote to what he said, the village where Li Qin was staying remembered the rumbling thunder when Liu Ye's words had just fallen, and this time the thunder seemed to be much louder than before.

"It should be fine!" When Liu Ye heard this voice, he was a little unsure, and his voice was a lot lower.

"It has to be fine!" This is Liu Bei cheering himself up.

"Hehe......" Xi Zhicai was helpless about this, so he could only giggle on the side.

In short, out of trust in Li Qin, Liu Bei completely let go of Li Qin.

And with Liu Bei's letting go, no one cares what Li Qin is playing. Well, at least until Li Chin didn't play with big problems.

The days just passed day by day. The terrifying siege equipment of the officers and soldiers was also erected little by little. As these things that seemed to exude a cold and powerful aura were built, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly felt a deep malice from the official army.

Although the officers and soldiers have been malicious to themselves, they have long been accustomed to it. One is a soldier and the other is a thief, and both sides have nothing to say.

But looking at the big guys wrapped in iron sheets, the Yellow Turban soldiers who still planned to defend in the camp didn't have any bottom about it: "Can we survive the attack of those things?" They ask themselves.

But in the end, the answer was also frustrating: "No, we really can't make it." Those instruments were used against a large city with deep moats and high moats, but they were not acceptable to a wooden city like oneself. "The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are full of fear for the future when they think of this.

"Maybe we should try to destroy those things before they're ready for the last of them." The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army thought so.

Soon, such an idea turned into a trend, and the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army learned about it.

The morale of the army fluctuated, and the commanders couldn't stop this at all, so they could only put the soldiers' ideas in the hands of Zhang Bao, the "Digong General".

This is a kind of appeal, and it is also a kind of forced palace, in fact, those soldiers can feel the threat, how can these slightly smarter Qu Shuai not feel it. The reason why they didn't say it before was just because they trusted Zhang Bao.

And this kind of trust can no longer be maintained in the face of strong pressure from the officials and the military. They all believed that it was necessary to fight a decisive battle with the official army, and before the official army had completed the final preparations.

"In that case...... Then make an agreement with the officers and soldiers to fight tomorrow's decisive battle. Looking at the anticipation on everyone's faces, Zhang Bao sighed and finally agreed.

As a "Digong General", he really knows that the army under his command has become their private army under the training of these commanders, and they will listen to their own orders, but they will also listen to the orders of those commanders. When all the Qu Shuai agreed on a policy, Zhang Bao couldn't change anything even if he opposed it.

"It's a pity...... I wanted to make the altar a little more perfect, so that it could be more powerful and reduce my wear and tear. But, as it stands. The situation doesn't allow me to do this anymore. Zhang Bao thought helplessly.

He shook his head heavily, and the expression on his face became resolute again: "There is no way left and right...... Fortunately, the main body of my altar is also half completed, and it should be able to deal with those officials and soldiers. Although the loss is a little larger, in order to win, this is also a matter of no way. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao's face suddenly turned hideous: "Okay! Zhu Jun, Liu Bei...... You scumbags, tomorrow I will let you really experience the horror of Huang Tian's anger! ”

Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and said. As he spoke, his face became more and more hideous.

He ordered someone to send a war letter to Zhu Jun. Soon, Zhu Jun replied, and the two sides agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the two sides opened their positions in the middle of the camps on both sides. More than 25,000 officers and soldiers, according to Zhu Jun's arrangement, formed a wild goose marching array.

Zhu Jun, as a general, stood with Zhang Fei in the middle of the goose marching formation, which was also the position that was sunken in. Zhu Jun arranged a lot of cavalry here, and hid these cavalry behind layers of banners. The left flank of the wild goose marching array was arranged by Li Qin and Zhu Jun's subordinate Zhang Chao with 7,000 troops; Liu Bei and Guan Yu were assigned to the right wing of the Wild Goose Array.

In this battle, Zhu Jun deliberately completed the battle, so that he distributed Liu Beijun's generals and the generals under his command. This does not distinguish between you and me, and it also shows that he does not regard Liu Bei as an outsider.

"It seems that General Zhu Lang has also become a little more responsible!" Looking at Zhu Jun's arrangement, he had already completed a certain task and returned to Liu Beijun, and now he was on the left flank of Dayan, and Li Qin, who was facing the Smoke Mountain, muttered in a low voice.

Li Qin's voice was very small, and Zhang Chao, who was leading the troops with him, did not hear what Li Qin was saying at all. Zhang Chao still admired Li Qin's resourcefulness, and when he saw Li Qin carrying a huge axe in his hand, even he felt heavy, Zhang Chao's heart was even more shocked.

He paid more and more attention to Li Qin, and when he heard Li Qin's vague muttering on the side, he asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing? See...... Troops have already been dispatched from the other side! I'd like to see what kind of formation the Yellow Turbans will put in. ”

Regarding Zhang Chao's inquiry, Li Qin didn't intend to pick up the conversation, he pouted lightly, and led the conversation to the upcoming battle, talking about the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

What position will the Yellow Turbans pose?

With curiosity, Li Qin opened his eyes and looked to the opposite side: he saw that under the scorching sun, a fairly neat square was pressing towards him.

This is the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. Qu Shuai, who is generally from a civilian background, has been practicing with the Zhang brothers for so long, and may have mastered a few simple Taoist techniques, and then was regarded as an immortal. However, when it comes to military formations, they don't know much, and for the military formations required for such a large-scale operation, all they can master is a few simple things: a phalanx, a circle formation, and a triangular formation (conical formation). As for the higher formations, they didn't know what they were.

In fact, even with such a simple existence, only the old pawns of the Yellow Turban Army can put on a good appearance. Compared with the Han army's wild goose marching array, the Yellow Turban Army's phalanx was much denser. They shortened the gap between the soldiers and made the battle formation look more solid, so as to ensure the relative reliability of their military formation.

At this time, they walked tightly like this, giving people a somewhat messy look.

Unlike the Han Army, which generally has a unified military uniform, the Yellow Turban Army, which was born in a civilian country and has no perfect logistics organization, wears colorful clothes and various styles. Aside from the yellow scarf on their foreheads, they had no obvious markings that could distinguish friend from foe.

Li Qin looked at each other from afar, and only felt that there were more of them, the formation was neat, and the morale was also very strong, but ...... The momentum exuded by tens of thousands of people in the entire army formation was powerful and powerful, but it had not yet reached the point of being terrifying. It can be said that their war-torn clothes make their appearance much lower-end.

"Perhaps...... Really affirm the importance of uniforms to the military? Li Qin thought secretly. With such thoughts, he can't tell whether he is complaining or really thinking about this issue.

In any case, amid the rumbling drumbeat, the geese marching array of the officers and soldiers and the yellow turban military formation slowly approached.

The momentum of the two sides was soaring, and even the white clouds that had originally gathered above the heads of the two sides were also startled by this huge murderous aura, and they quickly retreated, only piling up together in the distance, forming a circle, exposing the blue sky above the heads of the two armies. The day was very wide, and the tranquility was calming.

But such a calm mind will not affect the imposing soldiers below. Although they are still calm, this calm is just to accumulate their strength and prepare for the fight.

Amid the earth-shattering drumbeats and melodious trumpets, the distance between the two sides was drawn to the most suitable place for battle.

The two sides stood in a circle, and countless flags and flags were waved in the wind, showing their demeanor on the broad military array. It can be seen that both sides have the idea of finishing the battle, and at this time, the generals of both teams have appeared.

Zhu Jun's side naturally has Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Chao, Li Qin and others, and on the Yellow Turban Army's side, Zhang Bao, Gao Sheng, Yan Zheng, Zhang Min and others.

At the moment, both sides are reorganizing their own military formations before the battle starts, and the generals standing in front of the battle formation are also glaring at each other at the enemy generals opposite, and they have a bit of a taste of staring at each other.

"War is going to start soon, Mr. Yuanhua, please get ready." Zhang Chao reminded Li Qin in a low voice.

"Hmm...... I know. Li Qin nodded clearly, but his eyes were in the distance.

"Do you really want to have a hard-fought battle with the Yellow Turban Army on the other side?" Looking at the other party's army, which far exceeded the number of people on the other side, Li Qin was still a little stunned in his heart.

"Fortunately, the strength of the generals on our side is good." Turning his head and sweeping his gaze from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the distance, Li Qin's mind calmed down a little, and then his gaze fell on the soldiers standing behind the generals: "The level of these soldiers is also stronger than the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side. This battle ...... We probably won't lose. ”

After seeing all the advantages of the previous party, Li Qin felt a little confident in his heart. It's just that as a resourceful person, he still thinks of a lot of things.

Suddenly, he set his gaze into the distance. He noticed that in the direction of the Smoke Mountain on the right side of the Yellow Turban Army camp, that is, directly opposite the left flank of his own official army, on the hill that was not very high-pitched, countless figures and banners with strange styles were erected on it.

These flags are not the surnames and horns commonly used in the military to identify army generals, but colorful flags depicted with strange stars and beasts. These flags hunted and displayed on the high platform of the Smoky Mountain, bringing a lot of mysterious atmosphere to the huge Smoky Mountain.

"The posture on the top of the mountain seems to be a legendary witch practice. By the way, it's more like a Taoist priest sacrificing something......" Looking at the arrangement on the top of the smoke mountain from afar, Li Qin corresponded it to a certain cognition in his memory.

This correspondence made him think of something all of a sudden, and his face suddenly became unsightly.

"Damn...... It turned out that Zhang Bao played such an abacus. Li Qin gritted his teeth and said.

Suddenly, he realized what he had missed.

This world is different, and there is a mysterious power in this world. And the Yellow Turban Army that he had to face was also different from the peasant rebel army in the general sense.

Although the main force in the Yellow Turban Army was mostly dispossessed peasants, it was the Taiping Taoist Advocates with religious identity who organized them. In this world with mysterious powers, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, who have studied Taiping Dao for more than 20 years, and even Zhang Liang, who has died at the hands of Li Qin, can be regarded as legendary cultivators. They are a group of people with extraordinary strength.

In the case of discovering that their army is not an opponent of the official army, they still dare to brazenly fight with their own array, so it is impossible to say that they will use some side forces to smooth out the gap between themselves and the official army in terms of combat strength.

So...... What will they do to smooth it out?

Thinking of the identity of the Zhang family's brother cultivator, the worry in Li Qin's heart was about to come out: "Sima Zhang, please quickly send someone to inform General Zhu Lang and ask him to be careful of Zhang Bao's Taoism." ”

"What?" Zhang Chao was very surprised by this.

However, before he could react, the drums from the large array of the Chinese army became noticeably dense and heavy. This is the signal of the attack, and under this signal, the beginning of war is inevitable.
