Seeing that a large group of bandits with weapons appeared in the rear of their own troops, Fang Dongquan didn't know that this group of people must be the same gang as the bandits opposite.

Otherwise, how could they have appeared here by such a coincidence, and rushed out at such a critical juncture.

Ambushed!

This was Fang Dongquan's first thought, his face was a little dark at this time, he wanted to ambush these bandits on the other side, but he didn't expect that the other party had ambushed him in turn.

In this way, it can also be concluded that they must have discovered the hiding place of their people a long time ago, so they will send people to ambush nearby in advance.

These bandits are not simple, at least they are much smarter than the bandits they have fought in the past, such as Jiguan Mountain and Black Tiger Village, and they even know how to play ambushes.

It has always been the Huangzhushan bandits who played sneak attacks and ambushed other enemies, and the only mistake was that they were almost deceived by the Ming army, and they ran headlong into the main force of the Ming army, but that time the Huangzhushan bandits also exerted their extraordinary strategic retreat ability, and they ran away immediately when they found that the signs were wrong, although they lost more than 100 prisoners and a lot of food on the run, but the Huangzhushan bandits themselves did not have any losses.

Therefore, strictly speaking, these bandits in Huangzhushan can proudly claim that they have never been ambushed.

However, this time, these bandits actually succeeded in setting a trap for them, and it was an ambush.

At this moment, Fang Dongquan's face darkened, and his first thought at this time was to shout a tight wind.

But if you look closely, the number of people in the ambush on the other side is only more than 40 people, and the enemy army in front is only more than 100 people, and the more important thing is that these bandits are not Ming troops, and there are no neat queues and a large number of standard weapons.

If it was ambushed by the Ming army, Fang Dongquan would definitely run with people immediately, and how much he could run.

But these are just ordinary bandits!

At this time, Fang Dong gritted his teeth, and then said loudly: "The whole army stops, form a phalanx!" ”

Since the strength of the other party is not very strong, and the strength of the other side is far superior to that of the other party, there is absolutely no reason to run away without fighting.

With Fang Dongquan's order, Huang Xueren and Wang Danxu began to organize people to convert the phalanx for defense, and at this time, the orderly and complete formation of the top and bottom was reflected.

The soldiers, led by the captain and captain, quickly trotted up, and then began to form a tight formation!

At the same time, senior generals such as Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren continued to boost morale, so as to prevent the soldiers from being chaotic or even fleeing.

You must know that among the more than 300 people, except for the original 90 or so soldiers of the Guards, the remaining 200 people are ordinary people, especially the hundreds of them are selected from the children of ordinary villagers who joined Huangzhushan only a month ago, and the morale of these people is still relatively low.

However, fortunately, most of the recruits were selected from the villagers who had newly joined Huangzhushan, not the old fritter bandits in the past, so although they were afraid now, many of them began to tremble with their hands and feet, and the timid ones had even begun to pee their pants, but these originally cowardly villagers did not dare to run away directly under the orders of those fierce officers.

Instead, they honestly began to form formations!

At this time, Fang Dongquan was still shouting: "There are only more than a hundred of them, we are three times as many as them, and when we fight, we will be three people to beat one of them, we will definitely be able to beat them to the ground!" ”

If you want to stay in this critical period of buying an ambush, you have to increase the confidence of these soldiers and let them know that they have an absolute superiority in strength.

The more people you have, the more secure you are.

When the bandits in Huangzhushan began to panic and form a formation, Li Zhai Master also rushed up with people, because at this time, the partial division under his command had already rushed up, and he planned to press up in two directions at the same time to give the enemy the greatest psychological pressure.

According to his prediction, in this case, even if the number of the other party is twice as large as his own, as long as the chaos does not get up, then it will definitely be a complete collapse.

As long as the enemy army is in chaos, then you can win this battle completely.

Yes, he didn't expect to defeat Huangzhushan's men and horses in a head-to-head battle at all, all he wanted was to cause chaos to Huangzhushan's men and horses through an ambush.

As long as the other party is in a mess, then the next thing will be much simpler, catch up and slash casually twice to win a big victory, and then the foundation of Huangzhushan will not be in his own bag.

But will his idea come true?

If he encounters an ordinary bandit gang, even if he encounters the previous Huangzhushan people, his strategy will have a great chance of success, because in terms of the quality of the previous Datang Standing Army, even if Fang Dongquan is pressed by them in this situation, it will not be able to stop the escape of those old fritter bandits.

Once the old fritter bandits start to run away, then it means that the whole army collapses.

However, now the army under the command of Fang Dongquan is no longer the previous standing army, but a new army formed with the Guards as the core and supplemented by a large number of pure recruits, this new army of the Tang Dynasty may not be as good as those old bandits in terms of personal physical fitness and martial arts, but as an army, they are much stronger than those old bandits.

At least they can form a formation while trembling, rather than just running away.

It takes time for the queue of the Datang New Army to change, especially for several newly formed teams, but there are exceptions here, that is, the first musket team with Wang Danxu as the captain.

They were originally on the edge of the right flank, and most of the musketeers of this musketeer team were musketeers from the Guards era, although they were young, they had been training for more than half a year, and had participated in several actual battles.

The soldiers of the 1st Musket Team can be called veterans!

Under the command of Wang Danxu, the more than thirty musketeers quickly turned, and when the bandit division rushed about fifty meters in front of them, they had already completed the transformation of formation, and the thirty-six musketeers formed three columns.

With Wang Danxu's command knife under his command without hesitation, the musketeers in the first column pulled the trigger without hesitation, followed by the second and third columns.

As the three rows of guns passed, a thick white smoke was already rising in front of the first musketeer team, and those musketeers couldn't see the specific situation of the enemy behind the white smoke, so they could only follow the instructions of the captains to continue loading.

In the first musket team, only Wang Danxu could see the specific casualties of the other party, and he took advantage of the height advantage to clearly see that the other party had fallen seven or eight people in front and behind his three-wheeled gun.
