Chen Yutai put on a collar of the best iron armor, cold-forged armor and drape, the shin guards are very solid, exuding the unique luster of iron, after wearing the helmet, he is as if he is wrapped in iron, although this makes him unable to move, but this iron armor gives Chen Yutai quite a strong psychological hint, making him feel strong at the same time, but also extremely safe.

"Come on." The pirates gradually gathered, and Chen Yutai erected his own banner in the center, which was a simple dragon flag, and an ugly dragon was the work of a country painter, and it was simply embroidered on the flag.

This is, of course, the will and determination to rebel, the dragon flag has always been only qualified to be used by the Son of Heaven, and the local military and political officials generally take all kinds of fierce beasts as the banner when they go out on the expedition, or take the surname as the banner, and the dragon flag is a kind of provocation, a kind of unruly attitude.

Under this banner are more than 500 long knife hands or wielders, as well as iron spears, uncles, iron maces, halberds, spears, maces, and all kinds of weapons, which is simply a small-scale exhibition of Chinese cold weapons.

The two wings are dominated by archers and crossbowmen, and the Great Wei is heavy with bows and arrows, and there are bow and arrow societies in every state capital and even every county. The largest ones are the archery clubs on Qinfeng Road and Jingxi Road.

Because of the threat of Xiqiang and Beiyu, the archery societies on both roads are huge, and the archery societies on Qinfeng Road have 800,000 members, which is simply terrifying.

In fact, almost all the strong men along the way are grouped, and the people are organized to practice archery during the slack time.

This method cannot be said to be completely ineffective, at least when the Great Wei fought against the Qiang and Tang people, the Minzhuang had the power to protect themselves, and several surprise attacks by the Xiqiang heavy cavalry were in vain, and it was difficult to obtain booty and supplies on the Qinfeng Road, and at any place, at any time, they could be attacked by the archers composed of the Minzhuang, and the resistance to this mode and large-scale made the Xiqiang people stand strong...... And I have to say that despite the difficulty of the national strength, the Great Wei was quite successful in the war against the Xiqiang people, at least the Xiqiang people were pushed to the Guyumen Pass, and the Xing, Ling, Xia, and Yan Prefectures were recovered one by one, cutting off the union of the Xiqiang and the Northern Captives in the northwest of the Great Wei, that is to say, the Hetao area that had fallen into the hands of the enemy was half recovered, and the Qiang people now possess the hometown of Tubo and half of the hometown of Hexi, such as Suzhou, Dunhuang, and Guazhou, all in the hands of the Qiang people, and the Great Wei has Ganzhou and Liangzhou, Guyumen Pass is also in the hands of the Qiang people, and the Great Wei can only build the Jiayu Pass in Ganzhou, but Taizu once said that the Jiayu Pass should be three hundred miles to the west, and later Renzong and Xuanzong both tried to advance westward, but finally because the supply was too difficult, and the Northern Captives had been putting pressure on the Great Wei and gave up.

Many of the Great Wei Minzhuang were quite good archers, and even more so for the pirates.

Engaging at sea, plundering on land, they all need archers to suppress the enemy, create panic and kill.

The archers with a total of 15,600 people on the two wings, as well as the divine arm bow used to stabilize the formation, became the pirates' greatest confidence.

At this time, the number of soldiers who slid down the mountain began to decrease, and in front of Chen Yutai and others, there were about 2,000 soldiers, which was roughly the same as the number of pirates.

This number is a little more reassuring than Chen Yutai and his subordinates.

If it is a forbidden army, two thousand against two thousand, the victory or defeat is between two.

All that came was regimental training and the Xiangjun Army, so Chen Yutai felt that he still had a better chance of winning on his side.

The battle at home was another life-and-death battle, and the morale of the pirates was also pulled to the highest, and Chen Yutai didn't feel that his side was losing.

Especially the location.

Sliding down the southern slope leads to a large gravel area, which is not conducive to the formation of a large army, and the outer wooden fence area, although damaged, is flanked by hills and rocks, which is not conducive to unfolding.

Now it is equivalent to the pirate of the future of the officers and soldiers to fight at the exit of a valley mouth, although there are no walls, trenches, antlers, but with the advantage of the terrain and a large number of archers, it is still possible to make the pirates take advantage of the advantage.

In particular, Chen Yutai noticed that the number of archers in the attacking enemy army was seriously insufficient, only between 400 and 600 people, and there was no magic arm bow, which made him feel more confident.

When the two armies are firing at each other, the lack of long-range striking power will make the attacking officers and men quite embarrassed, and if they continue to fail to break through, they will be shot into a sieve in the rain of arrows.

At this time, many experienced big leaders also saw the clues, and one big leader said with satisfaction: "Although the officers and soldiers are surprised, I think they are here to send them to death." ”

"Even if the Donghu people come, they can all die here."

"Kill, Lao Tzu didn't kill in the Xinghua Army last time."

Chen Yutai said loudly: "Pass the order, this time I won't seal the knife, and I won't leave a single living mouth!" ”

"Kill, kill all the officers and soldiers!"

All the pirates let out a wolf's howl, and of course no one objected to Chen Yutai's order.

……

"The cloth should be wrapped tighter."

"It's really a fucking sin, Lao Tzu's palms are broken."

"Yo, there's a delicate little lady here."

Xu Zixian's ears were full of the jokes of the soldiers laughing and complaining to each other, of course there was no need to be quiet at this time, the gag order had been lifted, and many soldiers were still talking to each other when they were in formation, and even laughing with each other.

There are also some people who still look quite serious, everyone has to write a suicide note before the war, the literacy class has been running for a while, there are many soldiers who can write by themselves, most of them still don't have the words, and choose to ask someone to write on their behalf.

It is nothing more than to explain some future affairs, such as the handling of some money, instructions to the family, expectations for the future, arrangements for relatives, and so on.

Xu Zi saw some of them first and was moved, but he still brought the soldiers to this dangerous battlefield.

Now he is surrounded by warriors who have been trained by him, top fighters, with excellent physical ability, excellent martial arts, and strong will, able to order and prohibit.

This is a group of strong, optimistic, and confident men for the future.

Someone is destined to die here, they also grew up from swaddling toddlers, they are the hearts and minds of their respective parents, from birth to toddler, and then to adulthood, and now they are the pillars of every family, sons, husbands, fathers, but they are destined to die here.

Xu Zixian is not hypocritical, originally he thought that he could look at these things very rationally, but real life is not a game, human beings are not numbers, these people in front of them will laugh loudly, and when they salute themselves in the camp, they will show some complex emotions such as nervousness and respect, they will hold their children and laugh, and they will whisper to their wives.

These people are flesh and blood, not numbers, take them to the battlefield, even if it is to do the most correct thing, everyone here hates Qishan thieves to the core, and spares his own life, Xu Zixian still feels a great responsibility, and even feels guilty about every soldier who died in battle.

But he still came, and he would not regret his decision, if necessary, Xu Zixian would still take them to the battlefield of life and death, and watched his subordinates die.

He will even redeem his sons, count losses, and exchange the sacrifices of his soldiers for the victory he deserves.

At this time, Xu Zixian faintly felt the entry ticket for the general, patience, meticulousness, determination, will, and the character of being able to sacrifice others, which is the so-called mercy not to be in charge of the army.

The palms of both hands are also hot, and Xiuniang and Xiaomei drove out a pair of deerskin gloves before coming here.

Deer skins are quite rare in Fujian, unlike in the north, whether it is rabbit skin, fox skin, sheepskin, and even tiger and wolf skins are quite common.

Leather goods are hard currency in Fujian, in fact, Fujian in this era is also quite cold, but due to the scarcity of animals and leather goods are quite rare, only the nobles have some wild beast hides storage.

With such a pair of gloves, Xu Zixian still felt a stinging pain in his palm when he slid down, and he kept using his feet to slow down the speed, and there were mountains in front of him that kept slipping, shrubs, dead grass, and mountain rocks, like a picture piece quickly swept in front of him.

The southern slope is estimated to be 100 meters high, but fortunately it is not too steep, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out even in the form of a rope drop.

There are also many soldiers who come down from the two gentle slopes in the distance, using shrubs and stones as footholds, and many broken stones roll down during them, which looks quite thrilling.

This was the result of the climbing training that had begun months earlier, and if they had to descend slowly from one side with a rope, the pirates would complete the formation before the large group of soldiers descended, and then shoot the slowly descending soldiers halfway down the hill with bows and arrows into targets.

After Xu Zixian fell, Liu Yi and the others also fell beside him, compared to Liu Yi's muzzled expression, which was much calmer.

"The whole team is ready for war, and the red flag of the Chinese army is raised."

"Yes, sir."

Gao Shilai served as the flag officer beside Xu Zixian, and under his orders, the red flag of the Chinese army began to move.

When the red flag fluttered to the left and right, the two thousand soldiers and soldiers of the Xiang army began to form a neat phalanx in small teams, sentry, capital, and battalions.

Xu Zixian was determined to use the fish scale array to attack, this formation is the general is located in the center of the rear of the formation, with a large banner to command, the soldiers are arranged into a small array, the formation is divided into two wings, the left and right guerrillas are the first, chaotic enemy formation, followed by the vanguard, is the main assault array, whether it is the guerrilla or the vanguard, are small square circle arrays based on teams and sentinels.

Then there was the main assault of the large formation, followed by the assault of the two flanks of the rear formation with the general of the middle formation.

If you don't break the enemy formation, the array assault will not stop, there is no reserve and no retreating position, there is no ranger to respond, and like the pirates, Xu Zixian also regards this battle as a battle of life and death, saying that he can come again after losing, but Xu Zixian knows in his heart that whether it is the Son of Heaven, or the two prefectures, or the generals of Fuzhou, even if it is the King of Qi, I am afraid that there is no possibility for Xu Zixian to come again.

The forbidden army is not good, the Xiang army is not good, Xu Zixian, a new star who is determined to avenge his father, is also not good, and the Qishan thieves have been in trouble for many years, and the court is powerless to control it, so the only way is, of course, to recruit peace.

Once Zhao'an was launched, Xu Zixian was powerless to object, so he could only watch Chen Yutai become an official of the Great Wei, and even the imperial court would give Qizhou Port to Chen Yutai, and give military salaries and rewards to appease, and it would take many years to gradually decompose and digest these pirates before it could be regarded as a complete completion of Zhao'an.

Isn't this the gold belt of murder and arson?

Xu Zixian would rather die than see such a result, tonight is of course the time to make an end with Chen Yutai, only to fight to the death, not afraid of failure, not afraid of sacrifice, no matter how big the loss, can connect the Eastern Domain, Penghu, Qizhou Port, as well as Nan'an, Shuikou, Gukou Towns, like many pearls are strung together, no matter from which angle, this battle against Chen Yutai must be won, and it must be won neatly, and it must be won heartily!
