The partial general took the order, and quickly led an army of 2,500 men under his command into 500 groups and rushed into the camp where the rebels were. Each group of five people, while beating the gong, shouted in the hut, no wonder it was the news that some enemy had invaded and had been surrounded by a large army. Not to mention, this trick worked really well, and soon the camp of the rebels quieted down.

But those chaotic people did not stay in their camp honestly, the sound of fighting outside brought them a great sense of insecurity, those chaotic people heard that the enemy had been surrounded by the Chinese army, they instinctively slowly rushed towards the Chinese army, only a moment of effort, Wang Tian's Chinese army gathered around seventy or eighty thousand chaotic people, plus the original 50,000 elite Blood Lotus Sect soldiers of the Chinese army, as far as the eye could see, all the pressure was human heads.

At this moment, Wang Tian had already organized a second attack, only to see thousands of Blood Lotus Sect soldiers carrying thick and long timber waiting around the formed circular formation.

These timbers were used by Wang Tianzhong's army camp to make fences, each of which was more than three zhang long and the thickness of the bowl. It turned out that Wang Tian saw that the loss of letting the soldiers directly attack the tortoise shell-like circle formation was too great, so he had an idea, why not use the giant tree to crash into the circle formation and then rush up?

Seeing the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers doing this, the face of the establishment finally became solemn.

"Even if it's the Iron King, Lao Tzu will smash you to pieces!" Wang Tian said with a sneer.

"Archer!" He commanded loudly, "Six shots!" ”

"Raise your bow!" The flag officer commanded loudly.

"Huh!" The three thousand archers raised their bows and arrows in unison.

"Shoot!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, three thousand feathered arrows flew out of the string, with powerful kinetic energy, flying to the highest place, drawing a graceful arc and then stabbing to the ground at extreme speed.

"Arrow proof!" The establishment hissed loudly.

"Boom!"

Countless shields seemed to grow out of thin air, and just when the feather arrows were about to fall, they suddenly appeared in the sky above the circle array, wrapping the entire circle tightly, looking at it from a distance, it was really like a turtle shell buckled on the ground, and that shield was the tortoise shell on the turtle shell.

"Jingle ......" There was a crisp sound like a torrential rain, and most of the feather arrows were shot on the shield, and the soldiers of the Tongzhou Army only felt a slight vibration on the shield. But there were also a few feathered arrows that passed through the gaps between the shields and killed those inside, and a few wails rang out sporadically.

After three rounds of feather arrows, the Tongzhou army paid dozens of casualties.

"The blood lotus is born, peaceful and eternal! Kill! Wang Tian suddenly ordered when the third round of feather arrows had just been fired.

"General, do you want the archers to stop shooting!" Ding was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"No, go and give orders!" Wang Tian turned his head and roared at him.

Wang Tian was really annoyed this time, he didn't expect that the general in the circle formation would have such a skill, and he broke his trick again. He thought that these were all Qin Wang's soldiers, and compared to the soldiers of the Blood Lotus Sect Rear Battalion that he had always been proud of, he realized how bad his side was, and this discovery made him ashamed and angry.

"Yes

It's ......" Ding Jian wanted to say something.

"I said attack? Do you have an opinion? Wang Tian was furious and glared at Ding Jian coldly.

"Yes!" Ding saw that his heart trembled, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

After the three-way drum, the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers suddenly attacked.

Four or five of these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers carried long wooden stakes and shouted in their mouths, "Blood Lotus descends to the world, peace and eternal life!" The slogan resolutely rushed to the formation of the circle array. The Blood Lotus archers did not stop shooting arrows just because the infantry began to charge. The feather arrows they shot were still falling, most of them into the circle, but a considerable number of them also landed on the heads of the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers. The hundreds of Blood Lotus Sect soldiers in front of them were immediately shot down, but these fanatical people still rushed forward desperately as if they hadn't seen them.

Thirty zhang is enough for them to run as fast as they can. The continuous firing of feather arrows was also enough to suppress the iron armor array, so that the establishment could not easily remove the shield, and the spearmen stepped forward to fight.

"Bang bang ......" Countless loud noises came, the shield broke, people died, and countless Tongzhou soldiers were directly knocked into the air.

With just one impact, the formed circular formation was shattered, like a smashed iron pot, breaking several large holes, and tens of thousands of Blood Lotus Sect soldiers pounced on them like wolves.

"Armor attack! Spearmen back off! Establishment roared.

The enemy is already close to him, and it is obviously not suitable for a long weapon like a spear.

The ironclad soldiers who had been resting for a long time quickly came out of the crowd and swung their swords to kill the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers who had already killed in front of them. The spearmen quickly retreated behind them, stabbing their spears through their gaps. A circle with ironclad soldiers as the periphery and pikemen in the center was soon formed again.

The men and horses of the two sides soon killed together again, and the Tongzhou army was in a tight formation, with strong armor and soldiers, and the morale was still high. And the Taiping soldiers have an absolute advantage in numbers, plus they have just broken the tortoiseshell formation, and their morale is booming, and they are indistinguishable for a while.

"The Iron Armor Army, it's so powerful, only 5,000 people, it can be worth my 20,000 elites!" Wang Tian looked at the situation on the battlefield and said with a cold breath.

"It's a pity that our Blood Lotus Army has limited financial resources, and the entire Yingzhou is only two thousand iron armor, and they are all in the king's personal guards, otherwise the losses of the sons and daughters today would not be so heavy!" Ding Jian also echoed and said.

"Well, in addition, that general is also a talent, and he has a great talent for training. A mere defensive tortoiseshell formation, he was actually played by him, Ding Jian, this kind of character is almost impossible in our Taiping Army. ”

Ding saw that when it came to this kind of problem, it was not good for him to say much as a lieutenant general. This is a question of the employment mechanism of the organization group, or more simply the chief. Wang Tian can say it, but he can't answer it.

Wang Tian is right, the Blood Lotus Army occupies a state, but the main generals are some green forest heroes, scoundrels or landlords, and the combat mode is still at the level of hugging and surging, and there are more people than few people. Even Wang Tian himself doesn't have much to show off. He was able to rampage through NSW for no apparent reason

It was Liu Jian who raised the thief's self-respect, and the so-called army of 300,000 to bluff people.

Even if some officers from the Dayan class surrendered to Wang Gan, there was still not much change. First, these officers are all middle- and lower-level local generals with limited ability, and second, in a group like Wang Gan, people from the imperial court are destined to be boycotted by all, so Wang Gan's subordinates, capable generals, are really scarce.

"Do you want to send more men?" After being silent for a while, Ding Jian asked.

"No, this is only 10,000 horses, Qin Forget is probably not in it. This little bastard has always been cunning, and he must be guarded against, 20,000 people are enough to hold them back. By the way, isn't there any news from the scouts we sent out before dark? ”

Hearing Wang Tian ask this, Ding Jian suddenly remembered that before dark, he sent five hundred scouts to reconnoiter the area of fifty miles around the camp, just because he was afraid that Qin Forget would play tricks, but so far none of the scouts have returned, and Ding Jian had a trace of ominous premonition in his heart.

"General Qiyu, so far no scout has come back to report the news, not even a single one to report safety." Ding Jian's cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

"What?" Wang Tian exclaimed loudly, "Something happened, something must have happened!" Wang Tian said in a deep voice.

"Ding Jian, hurry, send another 10,000 people to kill, I will give you three sticks of incense, I can't kill these 10,000 people, you come to see you!" Wang Tian yelled at Ding Jian.

By now, Wang Tian had almost guessed Qin Wang's tactics, the praying mantis was catching the cicada, the yellow finch was behind, and the 10,000 people in front of him were obviously the cicada, and the other more than 10,000 people led by Qin Wang were the yellow finch. Although the tactics are a little risky, in this dark night, it is indeed the best way to do more with less.

"Others, follow me!" He turned his horse's head and rushed out with dozens of generals, he had to lead the remaining 20,000 people out of the camp and resist Qin Wang head-on, if Qin Wang gave him a blow from behind, then everything would be over.

But a huge problem soon appeared in front of him, that is, the hundreds of thousands of displaced people surrounding the Chinese army camp. These people blocked Wang Tian's retreat tightly, so that his group couldn't get out at all, and what was even more troublesome was that when those chaotic people saw Wang Tian's commander retreating, there was a big riot unexpectedly by Wang Tian.

These chaotic people watched the excitement outside for more than half an hour, and the only ones who really knew the specific situation were the group closest to the battlefield, except for them, almost all the chaotic people could only hear the sound of fighting, and the specific situation was not visible at all, and they did not know what the situation was now. And because of the initial chaos, these chaotic people simply do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, no generals can effectively pacify and organize this group of people, at this time suddenly saw the banner of the main general retreating quickly, they still thought that the Chinese army lost, the main general is going to escape, how not to panic?

"Get out of the way, death to those who stand in the way!"

"The general is here, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

……

The anxious Wang Tian obviously didn't notice the change in the mood of the chaotic people in the front camp, and let his guards shout loudly.
