The surnamed Sun ran away shamelessly, although this incident made Wu Baihu extremely angry, but he also knew that now was not the time to scold.

Although Sun Baihu sneaked away, the main force of the more than 100 Ming troops he brought, as well as nearly 100 county warriors and more than 200 people from the grain transportation team itself, are still there.

Under the leadership of some low-level officers such as the general banner and the small banner under the command of Wu Baihu, they had already begun to line up to meet the battle.

Looking at the men and horses under his command who were arrayed one after another, and looking at the pseudo-Tang thief army slowly approaching in the distance, Wu Baihu felt a burst of heroic feelings in his heart.

He wanted to see what was so great about these pseudo-Tang thief troops, who had made their officers and soldiers suffer several times in a row.

At the same time, he wants to prove that he is definitely not a soft bone like Sun Baihu through a big victory, and if he wins this game, he may be able to directly promote to a thousand households.

If the military generals of the Ming Dynasty made meritorious contributions in the war, they would rise much faster than civilian officials, and before the outbreak of the war, they were only a small hundred households, but after the war ended, he could become a thousand households or even commanders.

"Give Lao Tzu a little bit of dexterity, hurry, don't grind, otherwise you will die when you wait!" Wu Baihu continued to shout loudly, trying to make the ranks of the army under his command a little more neat.

It's a pity that there are more than 100 soldiers under his command, and although the quality is uneven, they are usually regular army soldiers with little training, and this basic formation can still be done.

But those county warriors and the people are far behind!

Needless to say, the people were not used to fight, but to be porters, they didn't even have many formal weapons, only a few people carried spears and swords, and these were still their own equipment, most of them were carrying flat poles, wooden sticks, and the like.

Even the county warriors who jumped out to prepare for the war, their quality is not much better than the bandits in Huangzhushan, at most they are better than those people's physical fitness, and they may have some personal martial arts, but they also don't know anything about military formations and the like.

Therefore, compared to the guards under Wu Baihu, who had already lined up the military formation in a relatively short period of time, the county Yong and the people were chaotic, and they couldn't list the kind of strict military formation that Wu Baihu wanted.

However, Wu Baihu does not have any particularly good way to deal with this, although the county Yong and Minfu said that they have been conscripted into the army, but after all, they are not soldiers, and they have not even received the most basic training, and they can't expect them to have much performance.

Just when Wu Baihu organized people to prepare for the battle, on the other side of the battlefield, hundreds of people were slowly advancing with firm steps!

Most of them on the right flank were armed with long swords and shields, or bows and arrows, and spears, although these people were also in formation, but they were no better than the army under Wu Baihu's command, and they could not even be seen that the more they walked, the more scattered the formation became, so that the leaders of their leaders had to stop and sort out the formation every time they walked a certain distance, and then continue to advance.

This team of about 300 people is not unfamiliar in the eyes of Wu Baihu, and he is not surprised, these pseudo-Tang thief army looks like on the surface, whether it is the queue or the quality of personnel, it is not much better than other homeless bandits.

However, on the other side of the more than 300 people, an army of about 100 people caused Wu Baihu to frown!

The reason why Wu Baihu frowned was very simple, since this army of less than 100 people came on the field, not only was the formation extremely neat, but also there was no noise at all.

What's more, when they change formations, they are so neat that even the fucking pace is almost uniform, and the mere sound of neat footsteps is terrifying.

Just looking at this superficial scene, Wu Baihu knew that today's battle was not as simple as he had expected.

It may seem that on the face of it, the neatness of an army is only about whether it looks good or not, and it has no effect on the battlefield, but this idea is very wrong.

In cold weapons and modern warfare, the requirements for the formation are quite high, and in many battles, the formation of the army needs to be constantly changed, so as to realize the tactical intention of the main general.

If you want to continuously change the formation during the battle and always maintain a complete formation, the requirements for the soldiers are actually quite high, especially in terms of discipline, and it is impossible to obey orders and respond in time in battle without a disciplined army.

Even if you don't say this, it is not easy to let the soldiers distinguish between the left and right and listen to the battle orders of the superiors.

Whether the simple queue is neat or not reflects the quality of the soldiers, and then reflects the training of an army.

So I won't say whether it can fight or not, but being able to form various formations according to orders is almost a quality that a qualified army must have.

In front of him, the hundred-man army that looked a little strange, and its formation was so tight that Wu Baihu couldn't help frowning.

He is not a big soldier who doesn't know anything, but a veteran who has been in the army for many years, and he is a hereditary officer like most of the officers in the Ming army, and he has received the most formal officer education in the Ming Dynasty since he was a child: for example, learn how to exploit his military households efficiently, such as how to save his life on the battlefield, and then listen to the elders boast about the battles of decades ago.

He knows some military common sense, at least much better than those big-headed soldiers who don't understand anything.

Therefore, Wu Baihu can see that this strange army composed of only half-grown children is definitely not a simple thing, and he must be cautious later.

However, although he was much more cautious, Wu Baihu was still full of confidence in the upcoming battle!

No matter what, these people are also regular soldiers, and the other party is just a group of bandits and outcasts, no matter how much they pretend, it is impossible to become a strong general, when the time comes, he will first let the archers shoot him in a wave, and then let the sword and shield men and spearmen cover each other to kill the past, and they will definitely be able to break the thief army, and hundreds of beheadings will be beheaded at that time, and it is not a dream for the official to be promoted to the third level!

Wu Baihu was full of confidence, and the people on the other side of Huangzhushan were also full of confidence, especially the guards who had just won a battle a few days ago, and they had long thought that the Ming army was not enough, as long as they rushed up and put a shot and then charged, those Ming troops would definitely have to turn around and flee.

Even the standing army led by Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren has great self-confidence, why, because they have a great advantage in terms of troops!

And since they dared to rush out, they naturally figured out the details of this Ming army, the other party looked at the number of people, but half of them were people with flat poles, and only more than 100 of the remaining half of the people were regular soldiers, and half of them were ordinary county warriors.

In this way, they felt that they only needed to deal with the regular army of more than 100 people.

How did you say that Fang Dongquan knew how many guards there were, how many county warriors, and how many people there were.

This is simple, just look at what they are wearing and the weapons they are holding, those who wear military uniforms and hold weapons are the regular soldiers of the guard, those who do not wear military uniforms but hold knives, guns and spears are county braves, and those who do not wear military uniforms only hold flat poles and wooden roots and the like are people.

When Fang Dongquan calculated the strength of the two sides, he consciously ignored those people who were holding flat burdens, and even the county warriors with a scale of nearly 100 people were not taken into account by them, they only saw the more than 100 regular troops brought by Wu Baihu.

The bandits in Huangzhushan originally had more than 600 people, and with the more than 30 prisoners who surrendered to Cheng a few days ago, their total strength had exceeded 700.

Even if we don't count the two or three hundred heavy baggage personnel who have little combat effectiveness, if we only count the soldiers, there are about 300 standing troops and more than 80 guards.

Nearly 400 people on your own side can win no matter how you look at it!

What's more, there's a Guard here!

If a few days ago, they still had a contempt for the Guards and even a joke mentality, but after the first battle of the Ming Army in ambush a few days ago, their impression of the Guards has completely changed.

These half-sized children look small and their bodies haven't even opened yet, and their faces are immature to make people think they are still children!

But when it comes to fighting, it's really clean and neat, much sharper than all their uncles.

The previous elite Ming army of more than 60 people was defeated by them!

Now that there are standing armies of them to cooperate in the battle, it is not like a game to kill this more than 100 Ming army.

Therefore, Fang Dongquan and the others, who used to see the officers and soldiers of the brigade only fleeing, now also swaggered out of formation, preparing to fight with the officers and soldiers.

At the same time, behind the military formation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and several other civil officials gathered to look at it from afar, and Li Xuan rode a thin horse with a shoulder height of about one meter three, well, it was Cai Erhu's mount at the beginning.

And Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua beside him simply rode mules and even donkeys, and there were more than a dozen Li Xuan's personal guards in front of him, who were armed with long knives and shields to protect Li Xuan's safety, and one of them was also carrying a green dragon flag with a yellow background.

This green dragon flag with a yellow background is part of the emperor's travel honor guard, and there are originally other messy flags, but the Tang Dynasty was founded, Li Xuan and Li Xuan's father are very thrifty in the two generations of heaven, and they are not willing to use so many brocade fabrics for flags.

This time, Li Xuan personally marched, and only brought this green dragon flag with a yellow background, which not only reflected the royal style, but also reflected the frugal attitude of the Tang Emperor.

Of course, Li Xuan would never say to outsiders that even if they made so many flags, there would not be so many people to carry the flag for him!

At this time, Liu Bagou smiled and pointed at the Ming army in front with a folding fan: "Your Majesty, our enemy in this battle is nothing more than the more than 100 guards, as for the others, there is nothing to worry about!" ”

This demeanor, this tone is quite a lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the momentum of the canopy disappearing.

Well, if you don't look at the donkey he was riding!
