When Xu Zi got up first, it was just when the morning light first appeared, and the bedroom was still a little obscure.

Hearing the movement of him getting up, Lin Shaozong and the others rushed over, and the armor leaves on the bodies of each armor soldier were clanging.

Xu Zixian's iron armor has been worn, the belt has been tied, the horizontal knife has been hung, the shoulder pads, and the shin guards have been tied, due to a serious illness recently, the beard has not been shaved at all, and the whole face is almost covered by the beard.

Wang Xinyuan, like the children of ordinary scholars' families, studied when he was young, and then dabbled in a wide range of subjects, in addition to being proficient in medical skills, astrology, liubu, painting, calligraphy, mountains and rivers and water conservancy and other miscellaneous studies, more or less dabbling.

In terms of physiognomy, Xu Zixian in front of him is simply the standard appearance of "real people", which is simply divine.

Wang Xinyuan's heart shook, and he almost said, "Is the prince a real dragon?" He pinched himself hard, took two steps back, and watched Xu Zi stride forward with the knife first.

Xu Zixian still had some discomfort in front of him, wearing armor on his upper body, and when he pressed the knife, it may be that the adrenaline secretion accelerated, and the whole body felt light, and a long-lost sense of control over the body returned to his heart, which made him feel extremely happy.

When a serious illness is first recovered, the feeling of joy is much more precious than being promoted to an official position and making a fortune, which is simply incomparable.

Because he has practiced the art of killing people for a long time, insists on boiling his body every day, and is also a young man, Xu Zixian is actually much better than ordinary people.

Lin Shaozong's eyes were full of tears, and he was almost excited to cry, and many armored servants also felt similar.

Out of the small courtyard where he lived alone, when he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, almost everyone in the Hou Mansion was alarmed, whether it was the servants, the grammar and French military officials, or the officials who stayed behind, everyone knew that Xu Zi was going to ride a horse to the battlefield first, and he was worried for a while, and he felt relieved.

Although the government affairs are busy, the most worrying thing in everyone's heart is, of course, the body of the prince, when he saw Xu Zixian's tall and heroic posture in armor, Rao is Chen Zuocai has passed the age of standing, he has a lot of experience in the world, and he has long boasted of being iron-hearted, at this time his eyes are red, and tears can't help but burst out of his eyes.

Chen Daojian was much calmer, although his eyes were red, he didn't shed tears, but he and Chen Zuocai strode forward, the two of them shook together, and their fists were almost touching the ground.

"No need to be polite." Xu Zixian looked at the two officials, these are all his trusted henchmen, because they have to be quarantined, they have not seen each other for more than ten days, thinking back to this, almost every day has not been seen, the illness is like a mountain, the ancients did not deceive me.

It's a pity that he can't help it get sick, Xu Zixian surged up with pride in his heart, and said to Chen Zuocai and Chen Daojian: "The two of you sit here, and when I return after breaking the thief, I will definitely drink with Li Gong and Zhujun tonight." ”

The two officials only wept and hugged their fists, looking at the big green horses with iron armor and close attendants who brought Xu Zixian, this horse is a carefully selected Hetang horse, strong and tall, both impactful and galloping, giving people a feeling that they are not under the heavenly horse, they watched Xu Zixian turn over and get on the horse, and then twenty or thirty ironclad knights surrounded the left and right, all of them had a hood on their heads, and wore a necklace around their necks, and they protected their necks, and wore iron scale armor or armor on their bodies, and then wore ring iron leather belts, heart goggles, shoulder pads, shin guards, net boots, iron gloves, after getting on the horse, Everyone wears an iron mask, and this kind of outfit is basically the same as a heavily armored knight.

Everyone's war horses are also dressed in cowhides, and in terms of clothing, they are far above the iron cavalry camp.

Seeing the situation in front of them, Chen Zuocai and Chen Daojian were both fascinated, and they couldn't wait to wear armor and ride their horses together.

……

Xu Zi first rushed from the Hou Mansion, and arrived in the Huaxi area in less than half an hour, and when he saw Beibao and a large number of people, he ordered Lin Shaozong to hold high his Nan'an Hou banner.

Whether it is a prince or a prince in this dynasty, there are few clans that have the right to open the mansion for more than 200 years.

The flag is red on a black background, embroidered with a red sun on the top, and blue sea water on the bottom, and nothing else.

This is the sea water holding the Japanese military flag, it is Li Yi who led people to study and draw, the meaning is very obvious, under the military flag of Nan'an Hou, the sea water is in the sun, and the sea waves are calm.

Xu Zixian did not object to this, the military flags of the Great Wei Forbidden Army are all dragon flags, symbolizing that the Son of Heaven is pro-army, and the Nan'an Hou Mansion cannot use the dragon flag, and it is quite appropriate for the sea to hold the sun.

The military flags of the other armies and battalions are also similar to the banner of the prince and the prince, but with the addition of silver stars, to distinguish between the military capital control flag or the battalion control flag, or the sentry flag and team flag.

In this way, the soldier almost does not need to memorize many complicated patterns, as long as he remembers that the greater the number of silver and bronze stars, the higher the sequence, and obey the command of the banner.

There is only the banner of the prince and the marquis, and there is no other decoration, it is simple and clear, and people know at a glance that it is the prince and the marquis.

When Lin Shaozong struggled to raise the banner, many armor soldiers surrounded Xu Zixian and continued to move forward, although the number of horses was small, but the tall horses, when galloping on the official road, brought up billowing smoke and dust, like a long dragon galloping, quickly made everyone pay attention.

When they saw that it was the banner of the prince, many people still didn't understand what was happening, but they just wondered why someone had beaten the military flag of the prince.

When they saw that the knight who was the first bundle of armor was Xu Zixian himself, many people went from shock to cheers, and they really burst out the strength of their whole bodies.

This feeling is like a drowning person suddenly seeing a ship coming to the rescue, and the feeling of ecstasy is really indescribable.

There were jubilant crowds everywhere, a large number of people put down the weapons or tools in their hands, hurriedly ran to the left side of the official road, looked at Nan'anhou who came on horseback, and after making sure that it was correct, there was a new round of louder cheers.

A large number of people are doing all kinds of movements, long bows, salutes, raise arms and cheer, laugh, cry with joy, jump in place, this kind of jubilation is a rare situation for Chinese men, Chinese people are introverted, do not like to show their feelings, can make people make these unbelievable actions, it is really because the joy in the heart is too much, has been full of the reason ah.

In addition to Minzhuang, more government soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads.

Xu Zixian had also approached the government army array.

He was not in a hurry to go down, and first looked at the soldiers who were arrayed on the flat ground on the official road.

Long like a forest, dense tips point to the sky, because it is a sharp impact, and the Nan'an army attaches the most importance to the cultivation of the hand, if it is to be stubborn, the two wings of the archer and the arm archer, the knife card on both sides of the hand, the middle of the thick set of the hand, so open the horizontal and vertical, deep and deep, even if you encounter a strong enemy is not afraid at all.

When Xu Zi first arrived at the back of the sharp formation, he first looked at the army columns.

As a result, it was placed according to the arrow of the triangular assault, which was very different from the formation that the government army was good at before.

When I took a closer look, I saw that Qin Dongyang was in front of the first battalion, and the Ge family brothers, Jin Baoyi, Lin Cunxin, Li Xingwu and other generals were also in front of each battalion.

This government army, most of the generals are appointed by Xu Zixian, and the soldiers are all trained by him, which can be said to be forbidden.

On his right hand side were more than 500 cavalrymen, Zhang Huchen and Gao Shilai and others were in the camp, looking over this side.

The cheers here have been non-stop, and the people in the cavalry battalion are naturally surprised and happy, but the military law is like a mountain, the military order is strict, and no one is allowed to leave without a military order.

Xu Zixian rode forward gently, walking through the right side of the army array, countless soldiers saw him, when the cheers just rose, the soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads to watch, but it was not real, there were still many people who were quite skeptical, and many soldiers were even angry, knowing that Nan'an Hou was still sick, did the generals think that everyone was a fool and made a fake prince to deceive the army?

When Xu Zi was only a few steps away from them, and then took off his hood, everyone could be sure that it was the real prince in front of them, not that the general had found a similar person to fake.

This kind of demeanor, temperament, and calm bearing when waving and smiling at people is not at all something that any one person can disguise, and ordinary people are too far from it.

And the soldiers could see that although the prince was not very dark before this, and his skin was fairer than ordinary people, but due to his adult years of running around, his skin was still slightly tanned, and he had lived on the hospital bed for a long time during this period of time, and his complexion had obviously become a lot whiter, but because the beard had grown, he had not lost the spirit of a martial artist, on the contrary, the breath of a martial artist seemed to be a little stronger.

It's just that the soldiers are still worried, the prince's face is pale, and it can be seen that it is obvious that he is in a state of recovery from a serious illness, and the soldiers are not only happy, but also a little worried.

After a short time, Qin Dongyang came to see him, and the Ge brothers and Zhang Huchen and others were also ordered to come, but the general came to these few people, the pirates had already finished the formation, and they might rush over at any time.

Qin Dongyang had a look of surprise and joy on his face, and he hugged his fists on the horse and said, "I also know about the gradual recovery of the prince, but I really didn't expect to appear in front of the battle today." ”

Ge Cunzhong originally looked at Xu Zixian with slanted eyes, and he was not very respectful, but now he was respectfully saluting Xu Zixian.

This former leader of the thieves, led dozens of subordinates to run rampant on Fujian Road for more than ten years, fought with officers and soldiers many times, and Qishan thieves have also fought many times, and have never been afraid in his life, but at this moment, there are a large number of government soldiers around him, life and death may be in a thought, behind him are tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of old and weak, and so many people have spent a lot of money on hard work, just behind him.

This burden is too heavy and heavy, Ge Cunzhong can't carry it at all, and he doesn't want to carry it at all.

"Now it's good!" Ge Cunzhong said with relief: "The prince is here, and we will do everything according to the order of the prince." ”

Qin Dongyang said: "The prince is just recovering from his illness, just watch the battle behind the battle." ”

"I can't charge in front of the sharp formation." Xu Zixian nodded, looked at Zhang Huchen, and said: "I'll act with the cavalry battalion, the infantry battalion will move first, when there is a good opportunity, the cavalry battalion will flank its wings, once it is penetrated, the battle will be won." ”

Seeing that Qin Dongyang and the others wanted to persuade, Xu Zixian made a firm hand gesture and said with a serious expression: "This battle is much more important than the battle of the river beach and the battle of the stone bridge. I lost the battle back then, I can ask His Royal Highness King Qi for help, I can't be hurt at all, as long as I don't die, it is very easy to restore the old view. In today's battle, the enemy is strong, and my inheritance is all here, and I can't find anyone to turn to. It is because this battle is very important, I am not in the army, and the soldiers must not exert all their strength, and if there is any superfluity, you don't need to say it again. ”

All the generals knew that what Xu Zi said first was the truth, if it weren't for that, the people in the Hou Mansion would not let the prince come out, and everyone hugged their fists and promised to return to their own positions again.

According to the previous deployment, the First Army and the Second Army were both in a triangular sharp formation, with the First Army on the left and the Second Army on the right.

As the generals rode their horses back to their positions, the pirates' drums on the opposite side also sounded.

In the sound of the earth-shattering drums, the pirates of the brigade let out a shout, and under the command of many large flags and banners of various colors, they rushed towards the soldiers of the government army on the opposite side.

When the generals rode their horses to the front of the battle, they turned over and dismounted, and then Qin Dongyang ordered, the position in the middle of the government army was the standard-bearer of the first army and the second army, the two standard-bearers shook the big flag together, and then the battalion flag in the formation, the capital flag, the whistle flag, the team flag, shook one after another, all the flags shook first, and at the same time the military drum sounded, and then the big flag was pointed a little further, and all the soldiers shouted three times together: "Tiger, tiger, tiger!" ”

Whistling like the wind, the momentum is like a tiger, the whole army, although the armor is not equipped, the equipment is not fine, but a high-spirited momentum seems to have substance, floating up in the formation, until it clings to the military flag.

This is the "god" formed by the breath of the army, which cannot be seen by mortals with the naked eye, but it seems to really exist, and the elite divisions of a hundred battles have their own gods, and if the gods fall, the army will be defeated.

Amid the sound of drums and the whistling of the soldiers of the government, the great array also moved forward.

Before the large sharp formation, there are a sharp warriors who are at the forefront, or the head of the team, or the sentry officer, or the most famous warrior in the army to serve as the first person in the sharp formation, this is an incredible honor, cowards will be eager to shrink in the crowd and dare not rise, and for real warriors, this is a rare, rare honor, it is simply a coveted position.

Lu Wenluo is the front position of the triangular arrow tip in the arrow, because the position is the first person, he asked someone to gather a full set of armor and clothing for him to wear, from iron armor to Dunxiang to heart guards, everything is available, even the boots are equipped with iron plates and iron nets, and iron gloves are also worn in his hands, so that he can grasp the enemy's weapons with his hands and will not be scratched by the sharp edge.

There are not many armor in the army, almost every set of such iron armor is made up, Lu Wenluo is excited, and he only wishes that when he is charging into battle, he will kill a few more enemies, and he must not be killed by someone as soon as he touches, or be stabbed to death by arrows and thrown spears, so that he will die too unjustly.

In fact, this time Lu Wenluo sent Wang Xinyuan back to the Eastern Domain, which was a rare achievement, if he himself was unwilling, no one would call him to rush into battle.

But Lu Wenluo is skilled in martial arts and courageous, and he himself is willing to rush into battle, so others have no reason to stop him.

At this time, both sides were beating drums, and each other was marching towards each other, originally separated by more than three miles, but after a while, the distance had shrunk to less than two miles, and the other party changed from a crowd like a black ant colony to a crowd that could gradually see the flags and see the flashing weapons.

If you are a new recruit, you will inevitably be frightened when you see such a scene, you will move stiffly, and you will feel that the battle situation has collapsed and turn around and flee because of the slightest disadvantage.

Fortunately, the more than 6,000 soldiers, including Lu Wenluo, are all veterans, some of whom have started their military careers in the Battle of Stone Bridge, and are definitely now officers.

When the enemy roared, the soldiers of the government army were still walking slowly forward according to the sound of drums, the morale of the soldiers had been raised to the highest, Xu Zixian took a small detour, and now he was in front of the cavalry battalion, all the following close attendants and armored cavalry were integrated into the cavalry camp, only Nan Anhou stood at the front of the cavalry camp on horseback, and was seen very clearly by all the foot soldiers.

Nan Anhou is here, on the right side of the big array, at the front of the cavalry camp, all the soldiers understand that as long as there is a gap in the enemy formation, there is an opportunity, Nan Anhou will lead the cavalry soldiers to attack quickly, and the enemy will be instantly knocked into powder.
