Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle

"Haha! How did I get this thing to the surface? Why should I tell you? Aren't you going to turn your face? Li Ren looked at Li Zhixiao, who was already pale, with a smile.

After a while, a grizzled soldier ran over from Li Zhixiao's rear team, knelt on the ground and reported to Li Zhixiao in a panic: "Marshal, our soldiers are all finished after dozens of noises just now~!" ”

"What?" Li Zhixiao was suddenly a little distraught, and the general next to him supported him, and hurriedly said to Liren on the opposite side with a sad face: "Master Hou, you can go around us once." Let your magic weapon rest first, and we can talk about it, okay? ”

Li Ren was deliberately stunned, and then asked Li Zhixiao: "I don't know the marshal, what are your plans?" ”

Li Zhixiao had already come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said to Liren: "Master Hou, please raise your noble hand and bypass us once." ”

Rihito nodded and said to the guards next to him, "Send a signal and let them stop first." ”

Another green cupola rose into the sky, bursting out a green chrysanthemum.

The sound of cannon on the surface of the sea stopped as soon as the green chrysanthemums appeared. At this time, Li Ren said to Li Zhixiao: "Now, Generalissimo Li, you should let your soldiers disarm, right?" ”

"What? Disarm? Lee Ji-hyo looked at Rihito with wide eyes.

Rihito smiled and said, "Isn't it okay? ”

"Okay, Master Hou, you can do whatever you say." Li Zhixiao hurriedly said to Liren with a smile, and then he said to the soldiers who were still kneeling in front of him: "Quick, tell everyone, put down your weapons, and don't resist." ”

The soldier was stunned, and immediately took a kick from Li Zhixiao, and suddenly the soldier got up and ran back in a panic.

After waiting for a while, a tall, mighty sergeant wearing armor with a little blood, like a black tower, carried a plate axe. Walking slowly from behind Li Zhixiao, he came to Liren, only to see him hugging his fist and saying to Liren angrily: "Report to Master Hou, I have tied up all the enemies." ”

"Very well, Dasha stepped aside first."

"Hmm~!" The military officer called Dasha walked behind Li Ren with his huge steps and stopped, and then looked at Li Zhixiao angrily.

Li Zhixiao is now convinced, because he has just turned his face with Chaozhou Hou. It's not good to talk about anything with Liren anymore, everything is done by his own henchman lieutenant. In this way, after a night of consultations, the two sides reached an agreement.

On the second day, the officers and troops did not storm the city as they had done some time ago, but the entire military camp retreated to a distance of five miles, and three more partial generals were sent to call for battle. And the direction of the City of Hope is to let the other party scold no matter how it is, that is, it will not fight.

As soon as the officers and soldiers returned, Li Ren immediately sent three captains with five thousand troops with a black iron tower-like dasha to the gate of the official army's barracks to call for battle.

However, several partial generals under Generalissimo Li really couldn't stand it, and they all shouted that they wanted to compete with the 5,000 troops outside the barracks. Generalissimo Li carefully looked at them, then nodded to them and ordered them to go into battle with 20,000 troops.

Three or four officers and soldiers led 20,000 troops to rush out of the barracks angrily, and when they came to the opposite side of Dasha and the others, the general in silver armor in the middle rode his horse and took the lead in front of the two armies. Pointing loudly at Dasha, they scolded: "Bah! The anti-thief on the other side listens to the truth, your grandfather's name is Liu Hui. Come and take your life today, and any of you will dare to fight. ”

Several captains were eager to try, but Dasha didn't understand the rules to urge the horses under his crotch, so he came to the silver-armored general and only said: "I'm called Dasha~!" Then he swung the wheel-like battle axe in his hand, like the top of the silver armor general's head. Bang dang~" Before the silver-armored general of the cowhide could react, he was split in half by the stupid battle axe.

Suddenly, the two sides opened their mouths widely, staring at the big fool like the god of war in the field. Dasha looked at the silver-armored general who had been split in half by his own people and horses, shook the battle axe in his hand, and shouted at the officers and soldiers opposite: "Alas~~! Which of you will fight me. ”

The remaining generals on the side of the official army have looked at me, I look at you, and suddenly no one dared to step forward easily. Dasha in the field waited for a long time and no one came to fight with him, he immediately looked back at his team and touched his head and said stupidly: "They don't fight me, what should I do?" ”

Several captains were a little speechless in their hearts, and they rushed to say: "Dasha, you split someone's axe in half, and if people fight you again, it's a fool who won't do it, why don't you come down and rest, and leave two practitioners for your brothers?" ”

At this time, Dasha took a closer look at the remaining generals in the direction of the official army, and saw that they all looked scared to him, and he immediately said loudly: "You cowards, I won't play with you anymore." With that, he turned his horse's head and returned to his own camp.

A partial general in the army whispered to his own people: "Generals, we will definitely not be able to win against them alone." And I think they only have 5,000 men, but we have 20,000 horses, why don't we rush up and capture them in one fell swoop, so how about we do a great job? ”

The generals in the officers and soldiers immediately declared their kindness as soon as they summed it up. In a short time, the entire ranks of officers and soldiers became a charging formation. The Suzaku Army is not a fool, and the captains have already noticed something strange in the ranks of the officers and soldiers. They immediately shouted to their team: "Brothers, the front team has changed to the back, everyone run." ”

Just as the officers and soldiers began to charge, the Suzaku Army turned around and began to run lifelessly. Several generals of the officers and soldiers were only slightly stunned, and immediately slapped their horses fiercely and urged the team to follow closely behind the Suzaku Army. At this time, a burst of dust suddenly appeared between the city and the barracks, and the Suzaku army in front was running in front of it at the speed of its usual training, while the 20,000 officers and soldiers behind were chasing more and more scattered, and many people were left behind.

Several officers and soldiers were eager to make meritorious contributions, urging their horses to move farther and farther away from the team behind them. The Suzaku army commanders who fled in front still looked behind their horses from time to time, and when they saw that it was almost there, they shouted at the running soldiers: "Brothers, it's time for us to destroy the official army, all turn around for me~~~!" ”

Originally, the team of the Suzaku Army had been the spearmen of the front team turned into the rear team, but now they turned around in an orderly manner, and in a half-crouching position, their spears were inclined to the sky at a thirty-degree angle. The officers and soldiers who were chasing behind him only brought dozens of their own soldiers, and because they wanted to catch up with the Suzaku army as soon as possible, they had already lifted their horses up. At this time, seeing the team in front of them suddenly turn around, they immediately felt that something was wrong, and when they were about to restrain their horses, they were already equipped with a phalanx of spears that were obliquely facing the sky. For a while, the people turned on their backs, and only one of these chasing generals fell behind and did not crash into the spear phalanx, while the others were all spared and connected themselves with the war horses through spears.

At this time, the captains of the Suzaku Army shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time for us to rush, kill these beasts, rush~~!" ”

The ranks of the officers and soldiers did not come to a place not far from the accident of the generals until the Suzaku army began to charge. Before the officers and soldiers could organize an effective resistance, the ranks of the Suzaku Army were already in close contact with them, and the personal qualities and organizational discipline of the soldiers played an important role in this battlefield of swords and axes.

I saw that the team of the Vermilion Bird Army was in a team of five on this crowded battlefield, protecting each other's left and right, rushing left and right in the densest place of the official army, dividing and surrounding the 20,000 officers and soldiers and then eating them.

And the officers and soldiers have been completely disorganized, and the officers can't find the soldiers, and the soldiers can't find the officers. The officers and soldiers fought on their own, and sometimes their own people hacked their own people to death, so they could not pose an effective threat to the soldiers of the Suzaku Army at all.

Chen Lin, Fang Ning, Zhang Lei, and Li Ren were watching the solo performance of their army on the city tower, when Chen Lin asked: "Master Hou, it seems that the combat of the official army cannot be proportional to our army at all. ”

"Yes, one of us can be used as at least three or four of them, Master Hou, you see that the official army is all over now." Zhang Hu excitedly watched the battle with a telescope, he thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, why can't we just eat the officers and soldiers, instead of making any agreement with them?" ”

After Li Ren handed Fang Ning the telescope, he said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to eat the enemy, I also want to kill them all." But have you ever thought about it, wounding 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself? These soldiers are now our roots, and these soldiers have to go through a lot of training before they can become a member of our Suzaku Army. If we lose one of them in the fight with the officers and soldiers, it will be a huge loss for us. And the enemy's army, if one dies, he will catch one among the people, and if he is issued a spear, he will become a soldier. They can afford it, but we can't afford it. ”

"Master Hou is really thoughtful, so that his subordinates have to admire." Fang Ning slapped a fart suitably.

"But Master Hou, don't worry, after Li Zhixiao gets all the military power, he will turn his face all of a sudden. When the time comes, we will be very passive. Zhang Hu asked worriedly after thinking about it.

Rihito looked at the army in the distance that had begun to collect the prisoners and said, "Worried, how can I not be worried. That's why I asked him to write down the note last night, so that he wouldn't turn back on it later. ”

"But~~~" Zhang Hu still wanted to ask.

Liren patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Have you ever thought about whether a general's soldiers will easily go with anyone, especially when his own general has just been killed by the enemy?" ”

"Well~~, this is impossible in our Vermilion Bird Army, especially without the order of the Hou Ye, no one can think of mobilizing the army in the slightest. However, there were factional battles in the official army, and most of the soldiers under each general were their cronies, and a small number of them were related to him. Ordinary people will not let these people obey even if they are under their hands. Zhang Hu analyzed it carefully.

Li Ren just nodded with a smile on the side, and immediately said, "Yes, Captain Zhang, your analysis is very good." Speaking of this, Liren took the telescope handed to him by Zhang Lei, looked at the army outside that had begun to clean up the battlefield and said: "In the official army, you are just co-opting other people's subordinates, but you can't let them be used by you." If you want to turn them into your own army, you must not only have a good reputation, but also have the time and money to be the bottom line. He Li Zhixiao just wants to rebel at that time, as long as the things in our hands are spread in his barracks, hum, this will be enough for him Li Zhixiao to lose his head. ”
