"Pass my orders and march to the Stone Castle!"

Hu Yiguan resolutely ordered.

The flag commander was stunned for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice: "General, aren't we feints?" ”

Hu Yiguan glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Nonsense, you have to attack if you feint!" Do you think raising a flag and waving it a few times is a feint? Those bandits are not stupid! ”

The little colonel didn't dare to say more, and was about to retreat with a fist.

"Wait!"

"What else does the general command?"

Colonel Zhangqi swallowed and foamed.

"Let the brethren put up their shields, and do not let the arrows hurt you. If it doesn't work, go back. ”

The flag school's heart warmed, and he resolutely said: "Obey!" ”

...

...

"Three masters, look, the official army is going to attack!"

A little minion trotted to the room of the madman, his voice full of anxiety.

"Oh? How could they be so impatient? Lao Tzu originally thought that they would not attack until it was dark. ”

He Madman laughed and said, "It's okay, since they are in such a hurry to die, Lao Tzu will fulfill them!" Come on, go up with Lao Tzu and have a look! ”

Surrounded by several relatives, He Luozi went all the way to the third floor of the stone fort, and looked condescendingly, and every move of the officials and soldiers was in full view.

It seems that these officers and soldiers are indeed prepared, but it doesn't look like there are many people.

He Luozi carefully observed for a while, and felt that the officers and soldiers who charged were at most a hundred. However, judging by the flags they had, there were at least four or five hundred people.

Could it be that the officers and soldiers wanted to send four or five hundred people to test first? This is also normal, after all, the ghost is worried about the dangerous terrain, and it is impossible to send four or five hundred people in one go. It is better to send a hundred people to test it, and wait to find out the truth before making calculations.

But...

He Madman will not give the officers and soldiers a chance to find out what is true and false. These officers and soldiers who are the vanguard will definitely be smashed into pulp in an instant!

Of course, this has to be done under the stone fort by the officers and soldiers. Before that, He Madman was going to entertain them with feathered arrows.

"Come on, shoot the fuck."

As soon as the madman He gave the order, the bandits immediately drew their bows and arrows.

They shoot arrows with little discipline, but they are full of power.

In an instant, it was like a locust feather arrow pouring down, full of momentum.

"Raise your shield!"

The officers and soldiers were obviously prepared, and they raised their wooden shields in front of them to protect the vital points around them.

Those feathered arrows that fall may cause great trauma to the unarmoured, but there is nothing they can do against the sturdy wooden shield.

At this distance, the bandits could not use rolling wood and stones, which would not only not cause damage to the officers and soldiers, but also waste their limited defense equipment.

Of course, a madman would not do such a stupid thing.

In fact, in his opinion, it should be the officers and soldiers who should be in a hurry.

As long as the officers and soldiers did not approach the stone fort, he did not need to worry.

To the surprise of Madman He, the officers and soldiers really didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

They slowly pushed forward with their wooden shields, but stopped thirty paces from the stone castle.

This distance is also not the effective attack distance of Rolling Wood and Stone, let alone pouring hot oil, which would have to be actually under the wall.

Damn dog officer, what the hell are you thinking!

He Madman cursed, squinting his eyes at the dense flags a hundred steps away.

Are the officers and soldiers deliberately provoking us? Let's not be the first to show the flaws?

It must be so!

He Luozi seemed to have an epiphany, and he was glad for his wit.

Okay, Lao Tzu won't let you get your wish.

You don't want to consume, Lao Tzu will accompany you to consume. Anyway, there is food in Laozi Stone Castle, and even if it takes a month, it will not have any effect.

But you dog officers and soldiers, I'm afraid you don't have enough food, right?

...

...

"Dashuai, there is the Juma River ahead."

Qi Wen held the reins with one hand and put the telescope in front of him with the other. The meandering Juma River comes into view.

Different from what he saw from afar, Qi Wen could even clearly see the pebbles and aquatic plants in the river through the mirror hole.

"Well, this black mud bay is exactly the same as the one on the sand table."

Qi Wen sighed with emotion and said, "I don't know what happened to Qi Yi's side." ”

In order to reduce the resistance as much as possible, Qi Wen ordered the White Tiger Battalion, which had the largest number of cavalry in the whole army, to feint to cross the western section of the Juma River, while he led most of the new army to cross the river from the eastern section.

The place is called Black Mud Bay, and the nearest part of the two banks is only thirty paces wide, and even the infantry can cross the river with a rope.

Save the trouble of finding ferries and building pontoon bridges, which greatly increases the efficiency of crossing the river, and is indeed a clever trick.

"Pass my general order, and the whole army will cross the river!"

Although Qi Wen wanted to know the battle situation on Qi Yi's side, he also knew that the time to cross the river was fleeting, and he must not hesitate for a moment.

The herald immediately passed Qi Wen's order to the whole army. Soldiers of various battalions also crossed the river one after another under the command of generals at all levels.

They were in a column of thirty men, each with a hemp rope in their hands. In this way, they will rely on the front and back when crossing the river, and will not be swept away by the rushing river.

Even though it's summer, the river is still very cold.

The soldiers rolled up their trouser legs, hoping that the river would not soak their clothes.

But this is clearly in vain.

For as the soldiers waded into the middle of the river, the river had already submerged the chests of most of them.

Damn it!

Qi Wen cursed secretly in his heart. I knew that I should have told the soldiers to take off their clothes. I crossed the river like this, and I was already soaking wet. Wearing wet clothes, the soldiers will definitely not feel comfortable, and some of them will even catch the wind and cold because of this.

The soldiers who collected information were not careful, and they did not even probe the depth of the water in the middle of the Heiniwan River.

But since this is already the case, it can only be forcibly crossed. Qi Wen comforted himself to grow wise, and if there is a similar situation in the future, he must do his work in advance.

Soon, more than 100 soldiers had reached the opposite bank, and Qi Wen himself had crossed the river on horseback.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and Qi Wen couldn't help but his heart beat faster, and he took out a telescope and looked into the distance.

How he hoped that this cavalry was Qi Yi's White Tiger Battalion. But reality disappointed him.

They were met by a group of horse thieves, numbering two hundred horsemen.

Hiss!

It seems that these bandits saw through his plan, and the White Tiger Battalion in the western section of the Juma River did not complete the task of attracting the main force of the Pishan bandits.

Then most of the new army he led is obviously in trouble......

However, Qi Wen did not panic, after all, he was a veteran who followed Qi Jiguang to pacify the troubles in the southeast, and he had a strong ability to adapt to changes, so he immediately ordered the soldiers who had crossed the river to form a semi-circle formation to meet the enemy, so as to buy time for the robes who had not yet crossed the river. At the same time, he ordered the remaining soldiers to speed up the crossing of the river. If the horse thieves did charge, he wasn't sure how long the New Army soldiers would last.

After all, infantry against cavalry is never an easy task.
