"Freeze down, slow down, adjust your breathing!" Liu Tao was in the center, seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than a mile, and he immediately gave an order.

The troops, who were still jogging, quickly slowed down, adjusted their breathing, and lined up in a phalanx according to Liu Tao's request. The soldiers are aligned with each other under the constraints of the captain, and between the captains, the team on the far right.

Eventually, a neat phalanx was quickly formed, at least much more neatly than the bows and arrows and sword and shield troops.

"Big brother (Deran) asked them to line up before, and the purpose is here?" Zhang Fei and Lu Yan both saw this change, and they didn't understand why Liu Tao did that before, but now they understand.

Looking at his own troops, they are also neat, but they are uneven, and when I compare them with the pikemen, I only feel that they are starting to be a little dazzling.

"Enemy forces appear in the rear!" On the side of the Yellow Turban thieves who were attacking, someone finally noticed the army behind them, so they shouted, attracting the attention of the other thieves.

"Could it be the defenders of Zhuo County?" Two leader-like figures stood among the Yellow Turban Thieves, one of whom was a little flustered.

"Have you ever seen a court army that doesn't even have armor?" Another person retorted, "I'm afraid it's the Zhuang Ding of the Zhang family who is here...... I heard that the Zhang family began to form a militia group a few days ago and conduct training in the east of the city. ”

"Wang Er, then can we still fight?" The first to speak hesitated.

"Now we have to go, and we are in a situation where we are under attack. There are only 1,000 people on the other side, and they are all Zhuang Ding who has only been training for a few days. On our side, there are 3,000 people, who is afraid of whom? Zhang Da, we concentrated our forces to gnaw him! Wang Er showed a ruthless face.

"Okay, him!" When Zhang Da heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and showed a fierce face.

Both of them are followers of the Taiping Sect, and in recent days, they received news that the great sage and good teacher were in Julu, so they also began to contact the disciples here in Zhuo County one after another. However, when he found that the military rations and weapons were insufficient, he happened to receive news that there were three caravans, which were coming together, with horses, iron and wine, and the wine was still the kind of fairy brew that was ten bottles of wine.

So Zhang Da and Wang Er summed it up and decided to ambush him in this vicinity, rob him, and then build armaments, buy military rations, and wait for brothers from other counties to come over, and then raise troops to respond. Even they conspired, and during this time, they successively mixed into Zhuo County, and when the time came, they helped seize the city.

But he didn't want the guards of the three caravans to be very powerful, especially the red-faced man, with a tattered ring knife, he rushed to kill more than thirty brothers all the way, and took the caravan to hide in Lousang Village.

Originally, it was only planned to dispatch in small units, but in this case, the whole army could only be dispatched, and while the defenders of Zhuoxian County did not come, they quickly ate this batch of supplies. Without him, this shipment is too tempting!

"Wang Er, I'll leave it to you later!" Zhang Da shouted behind him and personally led two thousand people to the formation.

"The militia is also handed over to you!" Wang Er replied, and then personally led people to rush towards Lousang Village. He didn't plan to continue grinding slowly, relying on the large number of people, it was better to fight it quickly.

"Archers, out of line!" Seeing that the other party suddenly divided his troops, Lu Yan immediately ordered.

"Spears (swords and shields) slow down!" Liu Tao and Zhang Fei immediately ordered.

The other party was getting closer a little bit, and the headquarters was also getting closer a little bit, only about a hundred meters away from the other party, Lu Yan immediately shouted to stop, and then ordered to prepare to shoot. When the archer was ordered, he immediately bent his bow and raised his bow at 45 degrees, ready to be thrown. By this means, it was possible to extend the effective firing range to about twenty-five meters.

"If you have the chance, you must change all the bows!" Lu Yan muttered in a low voice, this hunting bow is at most half a stone, it can be used as a novice training, and the regular army, if it can't even pull a stone bow, it is a waste at all.

Having said that, the half-stone bow also means that in order to snap open the bow, it needs to have a strength of 31 catties, and it is not a Han jin, and the standard catty of later generations is used as a unit of measurement. A stone bow requires 62 pounds, and it is not to blame that a qualified archer needs more than a year of training.

For example, Huang Zhong's existence, which can pull the three-stone bow and accurately hit the opponent, is understandable to be called the 'God of Arrows'.

The enemy army approached little by little, and to be honest, every soldier, even Lu Yan, was very nervous.

Lu Yan was on the battlefield for the first time, and he only felt that all this in front of him gave him a completely different feeling from his impression, and there was a feeling that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. And these Zhuang Ding, who had just been transferred to soldiers, were facing so many enemies for the first time.

Seeing that the enemy troops had entered a range of 30 meters, Lu Yan immediately ordered to shoot. It was not easy to measure the distance, he could only make a rough estimate, and the lack of experience was a problem. Liu Tao has always emphasized the need to measure in advance, because during the time when the order was given to shoot and then the arrow flew out, the opponent was also moving forward, shooting before and after thirty meters, which was the best situation.

There is no need to worry that the other party will stop at all, because for the soldiers in front, it is also too late to stop!

No, seeing that the archers began to shoot, Zhang Da was going to order the soldiers to stop, and the arrows had already begun to fall. He closed his mouth at this time, then drew the sword in his hand, pointed in front and shouted: "Charge!" ”

The Taiping Sect in Zhuo County has not been systematically practiced at all, and in the final analysis, it is like a group fight. In addition, the weapons themselves are not complete, and if you look closely, there are even people who use branches as clubs. The ranks are also chaotic, and they can't build a formation at all. Zhang Da simply didn't need any complicated orders, just ordered to charge.

The Yellow Turban thieves who received the order launched a charge one after another, and I have to say that although they were chaotic, the momentum was indeed powerful.

The arrow landed, and about 30 thieves fell, more were injured, and there were also cases where two arrows were in the body. The fallen thieves did make the other thieves around them a little panicked, but there were too many of them, which stimulated their anger.

"Stand back!" Lu Yan ordered to retreat, and the archers panicked and retreated in two groups. The pace is a little chaotic, and if you really give the other party close, there is no room for resistance at all.

"Lancers raise their guns, prepare!" Liu Tao also ordered immediately.

Seeing that the other party was still more than ten meters away from killing, the pikemen in the front row raised their spears one after another, and according to the requirements, they were slightly upturned, their hands were clenched, and if they looked closely, they would find that many people's hands were trembling slightly.

They were nervous, but definitely not scared. With so many people rushing in front of you, sometimes it not only brings a lot of stress, but also makes you forget that there are other people around you.

Morale is declining visibly with the naked eye, and Liu Tao doesn't even need to look at the panel, he can feel it (of course, he can't see it if he wants to...... ）。

"One shot of 20 mana points......" Seeing that the battle was about to start, the state of the soldiers below was really not good, Liu Tao muttered, and then shouted, "Kuang Fu Sheji, protect the family and defend the country, and kill the thief!" ”

Secretly, he quietly cast the 'Faith of the Light Dragon', which was supposed to be cast before the war, but with the magic tower he crossed over, many things changed. For example, 'Healing' calculates mana consumption according to the degree of healing, for example, there is a sudden addition of 'Magic Arrow', such as 'Faith of the Light Dragon', which can also be cast in a state of war.

After 20 mana was consumed, a magical force began to cover the entire legion......
