"What's wrong?" When Wang Bodang heard this, he said disapprovingly: "Mi Gong is worried that our troops are insufficient, and a hasty attack will lead to failure. But now we have made it clear to the detectives: the Zhou army in the town is only 50,000 men, which is the same number as our army, and our army still has 20,000 cavalry, but the enemy army is all infantry. In the end, we still have the upper hand. ”

"Wouldn't it be a great achievement if we could capture Beibi Town before the Mi Gong arrived?" Uncle Wang smiled and said, "At that time, Mi Gong will definitely reward you and me heavily. Maybe you can be promoted to a general and lead the army alone! ”

"But...... In case of defeat, we are only afraid that the secret guild will be angry, and we will be punished by military discipline! Jia Xiong said tremblingly. He knew in his heart that Wang Bodang had just lost a game in the hands of Yu Ming, and he was trying to get back. So in a hurry to fight. I don't have to take such a big risk to accompany him to gamble.

"What? You don't want to attack with me anymore? When Wang Bodang heard this, his face sank.

"The last general will not dare to ...... It's just the order of King Wei, and his subordinates don't dare to disobey ......," Jia Xiong said cautiously.

Wang Bodang snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! It sounds like General Jia is a timid person, but I don't know why he is so bold when he is with the Wu family? ”

After Jia Xiong heard this, his color suddenly changed, he was stunned for a moment, and Fang responded in a low voice: "The last general doesn't know what General Wang said?" ”

"Hehe, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Anyway, I will send someone to tell Mrs. Zun and let her go to the Agarwood Courtyard in the west of Xingyang City to see if the woman hidden there is the Wu family, and whether she has been in love with General Jia for a long time! Wang Bodang said with a smile.

Jia Xiong was like five thunderbolts at this time. The Wu family that Wang Bodang said was the wife of his younger brother Jia Jun, who was handsome and pretty, and he had long coveted it. Since Jia Jun was killed by the Sui army a year and a half ago, he hooked up with the Wu family and hid him in the Agarwood Courtyard, and the two often had trysts. He always thought that no one knew about this, but he didn't know how Wang Bodang knew.

If this matter is revealed, with the character of his wife and tigress, I am afraid that the whole Wagang army will know about it, and his reputation will be ruined. Li Mi has always liked to sell his reputation and reputation, and it is impossible to use an immoral person like him as a general, then his future will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Jia Xiong thought for a moment, and had to give in: "The last general knows that he is wrong, how to act, but according to General Wang's orders!" ”

Wang Bodang laughed at this time, he could know about Jia Xiong's ugly thing, but it was because Wu also had a leg with him, and once when the two were in bed, Wu accidentally said that he leaked. At that time, he thought that this matter was a strange thing to live in, and it was just used to hold Jia Xiong hostage. Now it comes in handy.

"Good! Since General Jia has no opinion, then he will give me the order: Everyone line up to meet the enemy! Prepare to attack the town of Beibi! Wang Bodang shouted.

After about half an hour, the Wei army began to line up, and they discharged the most favorable fish scale formation, which was the commander of the general after the formation was placed in the formation, responsible for commanding the overall situation. The main forces were assembled in the center, divided into a number of small phalanxes in the shape of fish scales, arranged in echelons, with a slight convex front end, and the attack was very fierce.

The dominant idea of the Fish Scale Array is the "Central Breakthrough". Efforts should be made to concentrate forces to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy's formation, and a single breakthrough can lead to a breakthrough on the entire front. It is often used when your own forces are superior. Because the weakness of this formation lies in the poor protection of the tail side, if the enemy attacks from behind, it can easily be chiseled through the formation, resulting in heavy casualties.

However, Wang Bodang thought that he had 20,000 cavalry to cover the flank, but the enemy was all infantry, and he could not pose a threat to his flank at all, so he naturally did not think much about the defensive matters.

After the army was ready, Wang Bodang turned around proudly and shouted to the 20,000 Wei soldiers behind him: "Warriors of the Wagang Army, everyone cheer up!" Now we will prove our strength and wash away the shame of defeat ten days ago! The target of this battle is the North Town in front of you! Break through it, and we will be able to destroy the will of the Zhou army to resist at Jindiguan and sweep the entire Huaibei! The Wagang Army is invincible in the world! Now everyone will work with me Wang Bodang to destroy the Zhou army in front of you first! ”

"The Wagang Army will win! Great Wei is mighty! ”

The howls of one after another continued to sound under the instigation of Wang Bodang, and the victorious ** was rekindled in the hearts of every Wei soldier, whether it was a veteran of Wagangzhai, a subordinate army of the Sui Dynasty, or a soldier recruited from the hungry people, at this time they all showed their eyes seeking war.

Jia Xiong looked at the Wei soldiers who had become murderous and high-spirited, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked. secretly thought that although this Wang Bodang was despicable, he was worthy of being a general with Li Mi's heavy weapon, and he really had two brushes. From his words of encouragement to the soldiers, it can be seen that he is not just a simple general, but also has the potential to grow into a commander. Even after his defeat, Li Mi opened up to him, and he did have a vision.

At this time, Wang Bodang waved his hand with satisfaction and shouted: "Warriors of the Wagang Army! Charge! Before sunset, a certain family believes that they will be able to see the flag of our Great Wei fluttering in Beibi Town......"

After that, he turned to Jia Xiong and said, "General Jia, you will lead 10,000 cavalry to charge first!" Fight to break through the enemy's perimeter defense arrays. Then I will attack with a large army and enter the town in one fell swoop. ”

Jia Xiong was helpless, so he had to nod in agreement. At this moment, he lifted the reins and cried out, "Sons! Charged with Jia! Let Zhou Jun taste the power of our Wagang Iron Cavalry! ”

With that, he roared and walked forward.

Behind him, the 10,000 Wei cavalry also began to move forward slowly, leaving the Wei army's brigade.

After moving forward for a few zhang, Jia Xiong ordered to start accelerating, and the 10,000 Wei cavalry, one by one, grabbed the reins, lay on the horse's back, waved the whip and hit the horse's buttocks, and entered the state of charging.

Just when Wang Bodang began to give the order to attack, Cheng Yanjin had already ordered the archers and trebuchets to be ready for battle.

There was also some controversy within the Zhou army about letting Cheng Yanjin serve as the guard general of Beibi Town. Opponents believe that Cheng Yanjin is very arrogant and can be a deputy general, but he is not suitable to be the main general.

But Yuming thinks that although Cheng Yanjin is a rough man, he is thick and fine, and he is not completely ignorant of command, and only fights with brute courage. If he is the main general, supplemented by Hu Sizheng as a military advisor, it is also a good choice. Therefore, in the end, he overrode public opinion and insisted that Cheng Yanjin serve as the guard of Beibi Town.

And when Cheng Yanjin was grateful, he was also holding back his strength, ready to defeat the enemy's attack with a hearty victory, and prove to those who doubted his ability that he could also take on heavy responsibilities.

"Attention the whole army! The Wei cavalry is about to be killed! The location is in the southwest direction! The trebuchets began to load the stones, and the archers drew their bows and arrows, ready to meet the enemy! Cheng Yanjin ordered.

With his order, the infantry of the Zhou army also formed a neat phalanx, entered the position, and waited for the battle, and the first large-scale frontal battle of cavalry infantry between the two armies of Zhou and Wei began......

The Zhou army under the metal set up a dense defensive formation, and at the end was the remaining trebuchet, each of which was equipped with two trebuchets, one of whom was responsible for loading the watermelon-sized boulder, and the other was responsible for aiming, and when firing, the two of them turned the winch together and pulled the rubber band to launch. The whole process is guided by a special operation process. Therefore, the movements of Zhou Jun's trebuchet hand are very neat and uniform.

In fact, in the case of a winch, the action of firing can be done by one person, and the reason why the operation process requires one trebuchet with two operators is mainly because the trebuchet is heavy. Although it was much lighter than the large siege trebuchet, it also had four wheels under the pedestal to propel forward. But if you want them to keep up with the speed of ordinary infantry, you have to have two operators towing them.

Standing in front of the trebuchets were rows of archers. This is the inspiration that Yu Ming got based on the Western invention of the firing rifle shooting tactics.

He divided the archers into platoons. After the first row of archers finished shooting, the second row of archers fired. When the second row of archers shoots, the first row of archers and the first row of archers switch places, go to the rear to take out new arrows, and attach the bowstring.

After the second row of archers has finished shooting, the first row of archers will shoot. The second-row archers swap places with the first-row archers to replenish their arrows.

After the first row of archers finishes shooting, the first row of archers continues to shoot, so that the back and forth cycle, the interval between loading and firing arrows is greatly shortened, and it can almost ensure that the bow and arrow are fired without gaps, causing huge damage to the enemy.

At this moment, this row of archers were all holding hard crossbows together, aiming at the Wei cavalry that was swarming in front of them.

In front of these archers were a row of shieldmen and two rows of pikemen, who carried a huge iron shield as high as a man, and mixed with the pikemen to form a tight spear and shield array, mainly to withstand the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry. Cheng Yanjin can be said to be fully prepared for the frontal impact of the enemy.

The Zhou army waited for about a pillar of incense in a tense defensive state, and finally heard a rumbling sound of people shouting horses and neighing from the southwest.

At the same time, most of the soldiers felt that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly, and Cheng Yanjin, Hu Sizheng and others immediately judged that this was the sound of horses' hooves shaking when a large number of cavalry were rushing.

Cheng Yanjin looked to the southwest, only to see that on the horizon in the distance, a black line with surging people appeared, and this black line slowly thickened and became larger over time, and rushed towards the defensive position of the Zhou army......
