On the battlefield, as the attacking party, the last thing you want is siege warfare, and no one wants to attack the city unless it is absolutely necessary.

If you can't take the city gate together, then you will lose too many troops, and if you can't attack for a long time, you have to watch out for the opponent's reinforcements, and even the defenders will attack.

Xiao Wan is not an ordinary bandit leader, he is brave and good at fighting, has a strategy, and has read military books, he once read in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "The law of war, ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it." ”

Xiao Wan's understanding is that only ten times the enemy can attack the city...... This understanding cannot be wrong.

But helplessly, Gutian County was like a stone blocking the road, so Xiao Wan did not attack the city, he and Zhang Lianbing attacked Nanping and Gutian in two ways, nothing more than to hold the Minjiang River in his hands, and he could break Qi Jiguang's department and join the Japanese Kou by going downstream.

When Xiao Wan was surprised to see the city gate wide open, and thousands of officers and soldiers pouring out of the city gate with strangely shaped long-pole weapons, his first reaction was that the opportunity had come!

However, when Xiao Wan finally gathered the thieves who were eating and discharged them from the queue, he felt that something was not right.

Because, the other party is too quiet.

He didn't take advantage of the gap between his subordinates to eat, but quietly lined up and waited there, without even moving forward.

Xiao Wan was a little hesitant, he keenly felt that this was a hard bone to gnaw, and maybe even a bone that could choke himself.

The reason is very simple, Gutian County is a small county town, although it belongs to Fuzhou Prefecture, but it is not close to the sea, and it is rarely plagued by widows, and there are at least 2,000 officers and soldiers hidden in the city, and they are fully armed, and they are elite officers and soldiers at a glance.

The first wave of attack Xiao Wan tentatively sent five or six hundred people, and hundreds of short spears were thrown? Let the thieves cringe before they engage in battle? Leaving behind dozens of corpses, the leader of the thieves ran back.

Xiao Wan feels a little toothache? Although guess it's an elite? But such a tricky thing was something he didn't expect, he looked at the official army formation from afar? I wondered where this army came from.

"I'm too daring!" Zhang San was dumbfounded, and then jumped to his feet and scolded: "It's just a bunch of rabbits!" ”

"Who told you to throw a short spear?" Zhou Ze pouted and said, "But don't worry? They won't run? Hundreds of thieves are just here to test a thing or two. ”

A few colleagues not far away smiled and said, "Zhang Tou'er, fortunately, the general ordered that no bird guns and iron cannons be used, otherwise a group of rabbits will ...... We really can't catch it! ”

"Let them come later? Our spears have to be stained with blood, too. ”

"I don't know if this time it will also be the first level of silver for thirty taels ......"

"What good things do you think? Can the bunnies on the other side compare with the Woko? Zhang San scolded: "All cheer up, this is the first battle of our brothers in Fujian, who slipped on the soles of their feet, go back and wash Lao Tzu's socks!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a low laugh around? Zhang Sanjiao stinks, especially in summer? Especially on the march.

"Shut up!" Zhou Ze frowned and scolded, "Look! ”

Zhang San picked up the telescope to take a closer look? Under the banner opposite, a thief leader was kicked down? The thief next to him raised his knife and chopped down? Pick up the head of the underground and turn around and shout.

Is it just a test or two? But he wants to kill the general, obviously, the thief army is going to move seriously.

Xiao Wan stared at the officers and soldiers opposite excitedly and nervously, and after carefully asking the subordinates who had fled back, he had already guessed who was on the other side!

It must be Qi Jiguang's troops stationed in Gutian County, and the wolf tooth in the early part of the formation is the symbol weapon of the Qi family's army, and the most important thing is that the roughly literate thief soldiers recognized the "Qi" character banner.

is really a famous general, Xiao Wan sighed in her heart, she can actually predict the prophet to defend the key fortress!

Xiao Wan waved his hand to signal the start of the attack, as long as this group of officers and soldiers was broken and the Gutian River entered the Min River, Qi Jiguang would have no way to return to the sky!

"Wipe the sweat of your palms, hold your wolf teeth steady, don't panic!"

"Throw a short spear and wait for my command!"

Zhang San, Nie De, Feng Ziming and others shouted hoarsely, and the guards around them shouted loudly, shuttling back and forth after the battle.

Although it is a temporary army, the main force is Lu Bin, Qi Jimei, and Yang Wen, who use wolf tooth whisks, spears, shields, and short spears as their main weapons, and they are very proficient in this style of play, and the three hundred soldiers sponsored by Tan Lun in Wenzhou are all left by Qi Jimei's side as a backup.

"Wolftooth Whisk!"

"Sweep!"

The sharp wolf's fangs swept left and right, and most of the arrows shot crookedly were blocked by the shield, and occasionally a few fell in the formation, and it was difficult to cause casualties, and the pikemen hiding behind the shield stabbed out and retracted mechanically and skillfully.

Qi Jimei, who was sitting on the horse, picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, suddenly frowned, and shouted: "Twenty steps away, short spearman!" ”

"Twenty paces away, short spear!"

"Twenty paces away, short spear!"

Hundreds of short spears and javelins instantly obscured the scorching sun, swept the back of the thieves, and then, the short soldiers met, and the flesh and blood were splashed.

Unlike the widows who seek wealth, most of these so-called "thieves" are from peasant households, and they have been unable to survive because of the floods in Fujian and Guangdong for two consecutive years.

After all, you can't live anymore, and what else can't you give up, including your own life.

Dozens of swords were frantically hurled by desperate thieves, and as soon as a pikeman withdrew his spear, a scythe slashed through the air and slashed right in front of him.

Seven or eight thieves in iron armor rushed into the defense line formed by three wolf tooth whisks, and pounced on the shields, weighing more than a few hundred pounds to knock down several shield holders.

Qi Jimei glanced at it and did not give orders, similar situations had been simulated many times during military training, but instead he looked at Xiao Wan under the banner opposite.

This is really no ordinary thief, who does not give out a small amount of armor to the boss, but uses it intensively to try to break the formation.

Seeing the broken formation, the thieves outside the formation shouted in unison, and dozens of thieves wearing iron armor had already pounced on them, trying to break the formation in one fell swoop.

But Zhang San and Feng Ziming's two general personal troops had already arrived, shields protected the two wings, pikemen in the center, Rulin's spear kept stabbing forward, and soon stabbed the five or six thieves to death and expelled them.

The rear array threw a batch of short spears again to slightly slow down the opponent's speed, and several wolf fangs rushed forward from the rear, and the shield-bearer squeezed forward, quickly filling the gap.

"Flanks?" Feng Ziming pulled Zhang San, the pressure was a little great, if there were more than 100 armor soldiers on the flank, it would greatly relieve the pressure.

Zhang San turned his head and glanced at Qi Jimei from a distance, and shook off Feng Ziming, "No military order, don't move!" ”

After another stick of incense, the thieves' frantic pounce came to an end, leaving hundreds of corpses to retreat.

Zhang San pulled his face and listened to the reports of the captains of each team, and silently calculated in his heart, eight people were killed and six were injured in this round, as the commander, there were more than 300 people under his command plus the pro-soldier team, and there were 14 people at once, which was close to half of it.

Feng Ziming's side was also almost half damaged, but the two of them were within the range of the thieves' key attacks, and the other few were not seriously damaged.

"Damn!" Zhang San spat viciously, and his former comrades who were in the Qian family's escort were seriously injured and carried back.

"It's a pity that the general is not allowed to release birds......" Feng Ziming sighed.

Zhang San gritted his teeth and said: "It's a pity that the young master explained before getting off the boat, otherwise I would have to build another Jingguan!" ”

Qi Jimei, who had been sitting on the horse, finally moved, rushed to the horse, and looked at Zhou Ze after inquiring about the casualties, "The bird hand is crouched behind the shield, and the tiger squatting cannon is forward." ”

Zhang San frowned and said, "My lord, can you still hold up the front battle......"

Qi Jimei smiled and pointed to the northwest, the pink wolf smoke was already clearly visible, and Yu Dayou had finally arrived.
