Forty-three arrays
On the bank of the Huai River, the two armies of Huaishang men faced each other, and they had no grievances against each other, but at this moment, the eyes of both sides were so incompatible.
Originally, it was still the harvest season, but the autumn wind brought up the fallen leaves, and there was a depression between heaven and earth.
The big banner of Zhu Zi stood tall in the Chinese army, and the Dingyuan soldiers and soldiers scattered in formation in the sound of suona, and the long-term queue training showed results at this moment.
The front army of the Haozhou Army had just been disturbed by Chang Yuchun, and the formation was already in chaos, and at this time, the headquarters army behind was in a hurry to come.
The front and back collided, and there was a mess in the panic, and there was no time to complete the team, and the tens of thousands of troops had no formation, two had no width, and three had no depth.
On the other hand, the Dingyuan Army, the front army ran forward, the neat footsteps pierced the sky, the suona and the shouts of the officers, and the soldiers slowly advanced in an offensive formation. The middle army, the rear army followed, endlessly.
Rumble! Rumble!
The neat footsteps were like thunder, and the aura of slaughter came to the face.
Zhu Chongba and his brothers got back on their horses, looked at the torrent in front of them, and lost their minds for a moment.
"Xiao Wu's soldiers are still so neat! Guo Dashuai can't win this battle! ”
Zhu Chongba muttered to himself, he started in Zhu Wu's army, from a soldier to a hundred people. He was deeply touched by Zhu Wu's military training, and even copied it to his own right army.
However, the 100-person team and the 1,000-person team are acceptable, if it is tens of thousands of people, it will definitely not be able to arrange a really neat and advanced formation.
"Where did Zhu Xiaowu get so many soldiers? Didn't he Dingyuan's army be less than 10,000 people? ”
After Tang He finished speaking, he immediately sneered, "It seems that Zhu Xiaowu has long had the intention of being independent, and he has quietly made so many people." The marshal said that he rebelled, but he didn't wronged him! ”
In this world, which good man has lived under the people for a long time? What kind of prince will Xiangning have?
Zhu Chongba sighed in his heart, and thought a little.
Xiao Wu was only a few thousand people when he first came out of Haozhou, but in half a year, the Dingyuan army could compete with Haozhou, in addition to his proper training, but also thanks to the wealth of Dingyuan and the two cities of Haozhou.
The two cities surrendered on their own initiative, and the second was to seize the city together inside and outside, and the small five armies were strict in discipline and did not plunder the people and loot property.
Therefore, the vitality of the two cities was preserved, and the population officials, military equipment, grain, grass and property were all concentrated in his hands, and all of them could be used on the soldiers.
"Ordinary soldiers have armor?"
As the Dingyuan army advanced, Tang He exclaimed again.
The craftsmen in Dingyuan and Hezhou were used by Zhu Wu in a unified manner, and in addition to the senior craftsmen who studied firearms, other craftsmen were used to make weapons and armor for the soldiers.
Not refined, only durable. The so-called nail is nothing more than a large iron piece hanging on the chest and a large heart goggle. It looks ugly, but it can save your life.
However, these armors are only available to soldiers, and for the sake of these armors. In Dingyuan and Zhou, except for kitchen knives and iron pots, all the iron materials were requisitioned by the Dingyuan army.
All along, Zhu Wu's side has been immersed in development. The fangs were only exposed today, although they were not sharp enough, but they were enough to shake the world.
Zhu Chongba pondered in his heart, fighting a war is actually fighting for money and food, and grabbing land is actually grabbing population. Some people have soldiers, and some people have money.
As a brother, the strategy in his heart is far deeper than he thinks.
However, this Dingyuan army is not without its shortcomings. Generals at all levels have no privileges, unlike the Haozhou Army, where they can collect money and property on a large scale and have their own descendants.
Rebellion is for the sake of wealth, and given time, it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not have two hearts.
But now, the Dingyuan army has walked in front of the Haozhou army, and the two comparisons have been defeated in Haozhou before the battle.
Seeing that the Dingyuan army was still advancing, the front army separated the two sides and clamped it over like a pincer.
And the formation on the Haozhou side has not yet opened, if the other party rushes over directly, the numerical advantage of the local battlefield alone can disrupt the Haozhou front army.
Zhu Chongba whispered, "Be smart, Xiao Wu's bone can't be gnawed even if his teeth are broken, withdraw when he should withdraw, don't let the chaotic army get involved!" ”
"I'll save it!" Xu Da made Chang Yuchun still dizzy after being smashed with a hammer on his head, and his nose was bloody.
"Get out of the way, the big handsome is coming!"
At this time, there was a commotion behind, and Guo Zixing, escorted by a team of personal soldiers, actually ran to the front army.
But that's okay, Guo Zishuai stood in front of the battle, and the morale of the Haozhou army instantly increased. The formation, which was still a little flustered just now, immediately stabilized.
"Dashuai!" Zhu Chong saluted and said hello.
But Guo Zixing just nodded slightly, looking at the front coldly with frost on his face, and the murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"Dog's hidden!"
Guo Zixing only thought about it a little, and he understood that Zhu Wu had already started recruiting troops.
After sneering and scolding, the horsewhip pointed at the banner of Zhu Zi, "Who dares to go up and scold the formation?" ”
"I'm coming!"
Hua Yun, the commander of the pro-soldiers, has been so embarrassed that he can't raise his head because he ran Zhu Wu these days. At this time, the marshal had an order, and led a team of men and horses towards the Dingyuan army.
………
"Stop!"
Zhu Wu's central army was slightly behind the front army on both sides, and when the line of sight could clearly see the front army in Haozhou, he ordered to stop.
Under the banner of Zhu Zi, Zhu Wu was surrounded by all the generals. At this time, he was in the midst of an army of 30,000, and his heart was full of pride.
Especially just after the order, the flag flew, and tens of thousands of people stopped because of his words.
Big husband, when it is!
"Lord, why did you stop?"
After Chang Yuchun just fought, he couldn't see the slightest tiredness, and asked puzzledly, "You see that the Haozhou army hasn't put on a decent formation until now, so it's better to push it over in one go!" I'm always a pioneer! ”
"What's the hurry? Are you afraid of being late for a good meal? Zhu Wu smiled, turned around and said behind him, "Erlang, you're about to look at your father!" ”
On a horse behind him, there was a man who was beaten beyond recognition, who else could it be if it wasn't Guo Tianxu!
Guo Tianxu's face was swollen like a pig's head, his nose and mouth were covered with dried blood, and he said in a dirty mouth, "Zhu Wu, why don't you kill me directly!" ”
Zhu Wu smiled faintly, "It's still useful to keep you!" As he spoke, he smiled again, "Besides, I promised the third child that your life is their brother's!" ”
"Zhu Xiaowu...... You killed me......... If it's a man, kill me ......! Woo......"
As soon as Guo Tianxu shouted, he was immediately gagged and couldn't make a sound.
"You're not without merit!" Zhu Wu sighed, "At least, you are tougher than your uncle, and you can still look like a man when you die!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them burst into laughter. Even the Guo family brothers, who were supporting the army, laughed, and the smile touched the wound, and there was another grin.
Zhang Tianyou was full of ugliness before he died, first begging for mercy and pushing the bad things on the Guo family's father and son, and later said that he would give Zhu Wu an internal response and help him take Haozhou.
Such a person said that he was a-stirring stick, and he was cheapened, and he was born a traitor. Thinking that Zhu Wuyi had an uncle at the beginning, and gave a lot of silver, not only did he not hand it over, but he became an enemy, if he hadn't chewed his tongue in Guo Zixing's ear, maybe things wouldn't have come to this point.
Therefore, after he said enough, Zhu Wu handed him over to the Guo brothers.
Listening to Lan Yu, Zhang Tianyou was strangled by Guo Xing, and he didn't say a cruel word before he died, and the feces and urine flowed all over the ground.
Compared with him, Guo Tianxu, who is bent on death, is really backbone.
"Lord, someone has come to the front!"
I saw that in the Haozhou army opposite, a team of men and horses killed in front of the battle.
The leader was full of courage, not afraid of bows and crossbows, and scolded before the battle.
"Zhu Wu, you are ungrateful........."
"Huayun!" Zhu Wu smiled, "Give him a shot, a little bit, scare and scare him!" ”
Hua Yun scolded in front of Zhu Wuzhen, "If it weren't for the big handsome, you would still be rebelling in Haozhou, maybe you would have starved to death a long time ago."
You white-eyed wolf, the handsome man accepted you as a righteous son and treated him like a parent, you don't want to repay the kindness, forget it, but you have to turn against the handsome......"
Hua Yun is scolding happily, and the scolding array is what is ugly and scolding, disturbing the opponent's military heart. As everyone knows, a small cannon has been aimed at him secretly.
"Dashuai is so kind to you, do you have a conscience to let the dog eat? ……”
Rumble!
The flat ground thundered, and there was a loud noise, and the Huayun war horse was so frightened that its hooves were unstable.
A projectile passed by him, and the two people behind him, without even making a sound of people and horses, turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
"Huh?"
Guo Zixing in the Haozhou army instantly frowned, his face full of incredulity.
It took a long time before he asked, "What's going on?" What's that? ”
The commanders of the first army all reacted in this way, and the non-commissioned officers of the former army can be imagined.
Before they became soldiers, they were all disaster victims, and they had never even seen waist knives, and they had never seen such a thing as a cannon. Not to mention, this cannon is still hidden in the ranks of the Dingyuan Army.
The big living people were suddenly smashed in front of their eyes, and the former army of Haozhou was faintly in a commotion.
"I didn't see anything clearly, and the people under the boom were gone?"
"What was the sound just now? Bigger than thunder! ”
The discussion became louder and louder, and even reached Zhu Chongba's ears.
"Little Wu, this is something that has come up again!" Zhu Chongba said secretly in his heart.
Perhaps, I didn't see Xiao Wu clearly from the beginning.
Training, military law, palm thunder, these things can a little beggar come up with.
Even after a few years of study, this is not possible. Today, I made a thing that kills people invisibly, what the hell is this?
Palm Thunder? No, he has used the palm thunder, and it is okay at close range, but the sound of the formation is far from being so loud, let alone so powerful.
Just now, I thought that this battle was unfought, but now it seems that this battle cannot be fought. If Xiao Wu had more of this thing, he would push it over directly, and the Haozhou army would collapse before he could take over.
Zhu Wu also thought so, he could fight for his life, but he could scrape together more than 30 artillery pieces, and they were of different sizes. This thing is in a hurry, so I can only grope slowly.
Looking at the landing point of the trajectory, Zhu Wu nodded, and looked up at the sky again.
"Push it through!" A few words came out of his mouth coldly, "Stick to them!" ”
