The horns sounded one after another, and seeing the arrival of the Tang army, Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui immediately waved their troops forward.

The Jin elves moved forward in a tight formation, like a city wall, and the officers shouted loudly in the ranks, keeping their soldiers intact.

At this time, the Tang army was actually moving forward, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and it was obvious that it would confront each other for a while in accordance with the established rhythm in the war.

Of course, this is not that the Tang army is weak, or has been caught off guard, or even let the enemy attack it unprepared, because the two families have no trace to hide, and at the same time as the Tang army marched in, their formation had been adjusted.

Moreover, the distance chosen by the Tang army was very appropriate, unless it was a cavalry, otherwise, the infantry army would not be able to cross such a distance and attack quickly.

Sang Xian and the battle-hardened battle, Ren Can, and Wei Ting are also familiar with the army, and they will not make such a stupid mistake when they engage in battle.

Sang Xianhe's general flag was already standing on a high place at this time, under the battle flag, Sang Xianhe was on the horse, although the other party was so resolute and took the lead in attacking, which made him a little surprised, but it was only a small accident.

This is a standard Kansai general, tall and steady, as long as he comes to the battle array, the ruthless and cold aura will also be formed.

His calm and murderous gaze looked at the enemy formation in the distance, and after a moment he smiled contemptuously, he already knew in his heart that this was to delay the advance of the army and delay time for the subsequent army to cross the river, right?

Looking at the messy figures following behind, Sang Xianhe was even more sure, it must be the Henan rebels who descended Li Ding'an, these guys are the best at melee......

In Sang Xianhe's view, this was obviously a move by Li Ding'an, who had insufficient troops by the river, and sent some people to his death in order to buy time.

With such speculation, Sang Xianhe immediately passed down the military order.

"Send an order to General Ren, let him block the incoming enemy, and kill those who take a step back."

5,000 people, enough, you must know that the people who came here are all the elite of Kansai, not some stragglers, if it weren't for the army to defend the city for more than ten days, and rushed to these many roads, the soldiers would be tired, otherwise Sang Xianhe felt that only Ren Can's 5,000 elites could drive all the enemy troops down the Yellow River to feed the fish.

It can be said that neither Sang Xianhe nor the generals under his command have taken these enemies in their eyes, and Li Ding'an of Jindi is the best at cavalry, judging from his achievements, the Daizhou Iron Cavalry is indeed terrifying.

Just like Qu Tutong in the northwest, he led more than 100,000 troops to stick to the key points and did not dare to take the initiative to attack because he was afraid of going too far and being broken by the northwest cavalry.

And now, Li Ding'an wants to cross the Yellow River and come to Henan to do his best, in the eyes of Sang Xianhe and others, he has miscalculated, there is no cavalry to help, and the Jin people still want to fight against the elite of Kansai on the flat ground? Dream on......

If this had been placed a few years ago, even if there were cavalry, the Kansai people would never be afraid of anything, but time has changed, and the glory of the Kansai military brigade has quickly dimmed in a series of wars, and it is always necessary to weigh the number of enemy troops in advance, or the weight of the Daishu cavalry, in the hearts of every Kansai general, this is a shameful thing.

But then again, the strength of the Kansai army is out, and as one of the Kansai generals, Sang Xianhe has every reason to believe that in the near future, he can get a "small" victory.

Of course, he didn't realize that when Li Yuan led the army south, and when he led the troops to refuse, his mentality was so similar to that at this time, but what was the final result?

However, none of this made Sang Xianhe hesitate, and then ordered: "Let the archers prepare." ”

"Send an order to General Wei, lead the troops forward, protect General Ren's right flank, and obey my orders at any time...... In this battle, it is necessary to completely annihilate the enemy army, and not let a single soldier escape back to the other side. ”

Generally speaking, the military orders issued before the army engages are the final adjustment of the army, and once the battle is engaged, it is very likely that the generals can reach the front of the generals in front of the army.

Of course, if both armies are large enough to fight fiercely, or if the two armies are very different in strength, then that's a different story.

And these two armies that met in the wilderness obviously belong to the former, their numbers are actually not very large, if you take this Henan battle as a chessboard, they all belong to the vanguard pawns who play a key role.

In other words, the scale of this battle is not large, but it is likely to be a war that will determine the direction of the situation in Henan in the future, but Sang Xianhe, who lacks strategic considerations, is obviously a little sluggish and cannot appreciate the key to this battle.

And Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui, who were opposite him, clearly knew that this was a matter of life and death, whether it was for them personally or for the army crossing the river.

In this regard, Sang Xianhe is obviously at a disadvantage, but this does not change the fact that the Tang army is strong and the response is quite appropriate.

Both armies belonged to light infantry, and the Tang army did not bring strong armor and large shields, so it can also be said that the Tang army was actually not ready for a fierce battle with the enemy, and the only purpose of their trip seemed to be to go to the river and block Li Ding'an on the other side of the river.

And Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui have the heart to die, but they also led light infantry that was not very well prepared, with many traces of hasty battle, no spears, no heavy infantry to rush forward, and even a shortage of arrows, unable to shoot at a long distance with the Tang army.

When Tang Jun stopped and stretched out some jagged spears from the front of the black pressure array, Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui knew that the worst had happened.

The Tang army obviously intends to hold on a little, wait for you to run out, and then carry out a safe strategy of covering and killing, this tactic alone is actually enough to make the Jin people who are moving forward pay a lot of blood as a price.

The soldiers stepped on the ground without hurrying, surging forward, shields, armor, swords and guns kept colliding, noisy but complete into the sound of Jin Ge, spread all over the world, waiting for the moment when blood would be shed.

Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui both coincidentally chose the third row, where they could not only see the enemy formation clearly, react slightly, but also avoid the upcoming rain of arrows, and would not let themselves die in front of the formation at the first time.

Is it smart? Not necessarily, this is all experience after getting the lesson of blood, and it has nothing to do with talent, knowledge, etc., which can only show that they have experienced a lot of fighting, and their identity has also reached the point where they can choose a good position, and their position cannot allow them to completely avoid danger.

When the Tang army lined up and didn't move forward, Zhang Shigui's heart chilled, this was obviously the worst situation in the previous discussion between him and Xu Shiji.

They had to endure the baptism of arrows after that, rush to the front and back of the formation, and break through with greater strength, and he was more worried about whether these guys under his leadership could withstand such a test, after all, he had only just arrived, and had no prestige in this strange army.

The only thing to be thankful for may be that the Tang army on the opposite side has few spears and does not bring thick shields, so it doesn't seem difficult to break through.

On the other side, Xu Shiji is much more confident than Zhang Shigui, because he has been in Hedong and Bingzhou for a long time, and it is true that the Daizhou Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, but the infantry army in Jindi is actually not to be underestimated.

Among them are full of Shandong, Hebei veterans, after a long time in battle, they are also diligent in training on weekdays, the reason why they have not become famous is only because the Han King is better at cavalry, and the infantry army has little room to show.

Compared with the good-looking Kansai soldiers on the other side, the guys on the left and right in front of him were more like a group of hungry wolves, their determination to kill the enemy and their will to fight were like flames, burning above the heads of the army.

When they become a whole, they are not afraid of casualties, once they move forward, they will never stop easily, being in such a group makes Xu Shiji feel both proud and very uncomfortable, because all this seems to have nothing to do with him Xu Shiji.

When it came time to engage in the battle, he and Zhang Shigui were completely reduced to foils, because the soul of this group had already been cast, and both of them were incompatible with this, obviously, they needed more time to integrate into it and lay a unique mark on the army they led.

Therefore, this battle is just the beginning for both of them, and of course, if they lose, everything will not need to be mentioned.

When the first rain of arrows rose into the sky, the leading captain of the first row in front raised his long sword and howled in the sky, which was more effective than the horn of attack, and in an instant, a strange roar erupted in front of the formation.

The soldiers in the front row, brandishing their steel knives overhead, quickened their pace, and then ran, and the army seemed to have lost its restraints, and surged forward like a flood from a dam.

The arrows fell, some nailed to the round shield on the head of the soldier, and some pierced into the human body, bringing out scarlet blood at the same time, and the sound of falling to the ground, the scream was instantaneous.

The crowd fell like wheat, if it was the Henan Righteous Army of the year, it was likely that only this one would destroy the will of most of the people and let the officers and soldiers see the dawn of victory, but this bit of blood could not extinguish the spirit of the Jindi army.

The follow-up soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades, quickly approached the enemy, and then approached, the rain of arrows continued to fall, causing heavy casualties in a row, and the Henan army that followed immediately appeared in chaos.

Some people stopped, some people turned around and ran, Shen Fan walked in the front position in the middle of the army with four people, staring at a broken shield, and constantly yelled at a few of his subordinates in a trembling voice, don't run, don't run, run and die, follow closely, follow closely, survive and live.

When the army was moving forward, Shen Fan, the commander of the army, was quite competent, he at least knew that it was the stupidest move to turn around and run, either his head was cut off by his own people, or he was trampled under his feet by his own people, and there was absolutely no good end.
