After forcibly arranging manpower to contain the puppet Tang thief army and taking charge of the rear, Zhu Zhihai also began to arrange for the troops to enter the city.

It is not an easy task for more than 30,000 people to enter the city, it has to be organized and ordered!

Otherwise, it can easily lead to chaos in the troops!

However, since someone broke off, the next arrangements for entering the city were much easier, Zhu Zhihai quickly cut through the mess and directly arranged the order of entering the city, and at the same time, in order to avoid these martial artists from being too disgusted with themselves, so they were afraid of the war.

He also didn't want to push them too hard, so he was very generous to let those ordinary guards enter the city, and then his own Fubiao was arranged quickly in the back, and as for the last, it was naturally those young and strong people.

In this way, it will avoid waiting for the next accident to happen, after the troops die or run out, the unlucky ones will be the young and strong people, not the regular army troops.

What happened in the camp of the Ming army at this time, Song Tianbiao naturally did not know, and now he is following the temporary plan, leading the troops to carry out a large-scale battlefield maneuver, trying to go around the rear of the left wing of the Ming army, on the one hand, it is used to threaten the rear position of the Ming army, but the main reason is to delay the Ming army, but also to preserve his own vitality.

And it didn't take long for him to find that the Ming army on the opposite side began to move, and more than 5,000 people from those Ming troops first came out, but these 5,000 people knew that it was abnormal at a glance.

Because among the more than 5,000 people, only about 1,000 people wore the uniform of the Ming army and marched in line with complete weapons, while the rest were all young and strong people wearing ordinary clothes and holding only a rotten iron knife, rotten spear and other shabby weapons in their hands.

What the hell do these Ming soldiers think?

Even if you send someone out to contain yourself, you should send thousands of regular troops, why did you send thousands of regular troops and thousands of young people over?

They're looking for death!

After seeing these Ming troops mixed with a large number of young and strong people slowly coming over, Song Tianbiao also looked at the main array of the Ming army, and those Ming troops also began to move, but they continued to move forward, not towards themselves.

As expected, they wanted to leave thousands of troops to contain themselves, and then the main force entered the city!

But Song Tianbiao didn't expect that the Ming army would send these cannon fodder to death!

Since the Ming army took the initiative to send him to death, then he, Song Tianbiao, would naturally not be polite!

Not to mention that there are only thousands of young men and thousands of regular soldiers, even if it is the regular army of the five thousand Ming Army before him, he dares to fight a dozen!

Immediately, he gave the herald: "Herald: the whole army stops!" ”

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Song Tianbiao said to the herald beside him, the herald waved the flag in his hand in time, and passed Song Tianbiao's order in the form of a flag, and at the same time, in order to ensure the effective transmission of the order, his herald also rode quickly to the phalanx of each battalion, and personally passed Song Tianbiao's order to the battalion commander.

As Song Tianbiao's order was issued, the huge phalanx of the Third Infantry Regiment also stopped at the first time, and then the battalions began to adjust their formations to ensure the best frontal formation to meet the enemy.

And the formation of this battle is similar to the formation of the last time, the only difference is that this time Song Tianbiao put the three main infantry battalions on the front line, and only one reserve battalion was placed in the middle platoon.

Because this time, Song Tianbiao didn't plan to prevent the Ming army from attacking him from the flank, so he still wanted to attack his flank with these thousands of young people? Joke!

What he has to do is to defeat this Ming army that dares to contain him in the most direct, effective, and fastest way.

He wanted to tell the Ming generals on the opposite side through an uncontroversial and clean defeat that this is not how the battle was fought, and that it could not be fought by a group of young men who were untrained and even well-armed.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would have grabbed countless young men and women and sent them to the battlefield with a knife or a spear.

As the 3rd Infantry Regiment quickly changed formation, the Ming army on the opposite side stopped on the contrary!

At this time, a thousand households asked Xinglongwei's commander Tongzhi: "Lord Shen, why did we stop?" ”

Lord Shen showed a stupid look: "What are you rushing, you are so anxious to find death!" ”

Although Lord Shen had no way to refuse Zhu Zhihai's military order, he was able to disobey the yang and the yin, Zhu Zhihai just let himself contain the enemy army and break the back.

But there is no rule that you must fight with the pseudo-Tang thief army!

The more than 2,000 pseudo-Tang thief troops on the opposite side knew at a glance that they were not easy to provoke, and Chang Pingchang took nearly 5,000 regular troops up without getting any bargains.

He now only has 1,000 guards, and they are all old and young, and the remaining 4,000 are all young and strong, so can he fight?

If he could beat the pseudo-Tang thief army opposite, he would write his surname upside down!

If you can't beat it, you still fight, isn't that stupid, you must be able to hide!

The pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side stopped, and put on a battle formation, why did he stupidly take the initiative to rush forward, it was good for the two sides to stare at each other a few hundred meters apart!

Shen commanded the 5,000 Ming army led by Tongzhi to stop, at first Song Tianbiao thought that they would stop and sort out the formation and make the final battle preparations or something, and at the same time, he Song Tianbiao also wanted to delay the delay and delay the time, and did not want to rush up to fight too early.

So there was no hurry, just ordered the troops to meet the enemy in formation.

But what he didn't expect was that he had been waiting for two quarters of an hour, and the Ming army on the opposite side was still motionless, with a pair of feet as if they were on the ground, and they didn't move a step for half a day!

At this time, Song Tianbiao just felt that things were different from what he expected!

At this time, the chief of staff next to him reminded him: "Commander, look, those Ming troops are starting to set off, and it looks like they are going to enter the city!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Song Tianbiao immediately realized: "Damn, these Ming soldiers are the same as themselves, they all want to delay time!" ”

When they spoke, the main force of the 30,000 Ming army led by Zhu Zhihai himself had already begun to move towards the city of Lipingfu, and at the same time, the city gate of Lipingfu City was also opened, and more than 1,000 Ming troops went out of the city to respond.

These Ming troops are about to enter the city, and these Ming troops in front of them are obviously used to break the back, no wonder they don't take the initiative to attack, they are delaying time to cover the army into the city.

Want to go into town? You also have to ask me if Song Tianbiao agrees, and I have to ask my Third Infantry Regiment if I agree!

Even if he really entered the city, Lao Tzu had to bite off a piece of meat from these Ming soldiers.

And this piece of meat is definitely not the young and strong Ming army in front of you!

Immediately he said: "Order, the reserve battalion stays to guard against the enemy in front of them, and the rest of the troops turn to the left and trot forward!" ”

He was still ready to carry out the previous plan and continue to go around to the flank and rear position of the Ming army, as for these Ming troops in front of him, they were just a group of young people, and it was enough to leave five hundred people to deal with it!

The rest of the main forces, he has to take them to attack the rear of the Ming army!

If the Ming army wants to escape, it is not so easy, this entry into the city does not mean that people can go in, they have to bring a lot of baggage.

In particular, all kinds of weapons and food needed for battle!

You must know that Liping Mansion City was looted by Sun Yawei before, but there was not much food left for the Ming army, and if tens of thousands of Ming troops entered this time, and there was no food, it would not take four or five days to starve them to death!

Therefore, when the Ming army enters the city, it must enter the city with a large amount of baggage!

After all, this time the Ming army's entry into the city is not good, but it is actually a retreat, and when retreating, no one will want to bring a large amount of baggage to delay their escape.

The Datang New Army is like this, and the Ming Army is the same!

Song Tianbiao, who was riding on a horse, soon found the rear of the Ming army, where thousands of people were pushing and pulling all kinds of supplies to follow the rear of the army, many of which were vehicles pulled by livestock, and there were also young people who were directly carrying them on their shoulders.

That scene can be described as grand!

And they are Song Tianbiao's target this time!

"Quick, quick, keep up!"

"Keep in formation, don't mess around!"

The three main battalions of the 3rd Infantry Regiment were at the front, and after this trot, the momentum seemed to be very large, but it was inevitable that the formation would begin to fall apart.

Therefore, the previous officers frequently rode in front of the troops under their command, urging their soldiers to stay in formation.

Three infantry battalions are in the front, and the battalion artillery team, cavalry team and other troops in the rear are in the rear!

The battalion artillery team of the Datang New Army is equipped with 150 catties and 100 catties of shotguns, which are light in weight, and if they are pulled by horses, they are not slow even in the field, and they can basically keep up with the pace of infantry advance.

And the ability to maneuver quickly is also an important reason why Li Xuan was equipped with a large number of battalion guns in the infantry regiment at the beginning.

Otherwise, simply speaking of power, it must not be as big as those 500 jin and 800 jin artillery, even if it is a 300 jin small cannon, it is stronger than the existing shotgun!

But Li Xuan didn't choose those heavy artillery, but chose these small shotguns that were only one hundred and fifty pounds, and what he valued was the ability to quickly maneuver on the battlefield.

When the Third Infantry Regiment was divided into two, Master Shen, the commander of Xinglongwei, squinted at it, but he didn't make any reaction!

Others didn't understand, and someone asked: "Lord Shen, now that the thief army has rushed over, I'm afraid that they are going to attack the baggage troops of the army!" ”

Lord Shen still didn't speak!

In his heart, he secretly said: "The thief army has run away, Guan Benguan's!" ”

"Besides, if you step forward and take the initiative to intercept it, you will be the one who will die!"

As for their attack on the rear baggage troops of the main force, there will naturally be a large number of soldiers and horses of the main force to deal with it, and it is better for them to focus on the enemy in front of them!

Although the thief army ran away, it was only partially run, and there were still 500 people in front of it!

There are still strong enemies in front of you, so don't act rashly!
