As an organizer and leader of bow hunting, Chen Xian has no problem surviving in the wild.

His rich knowledge of martial arts theory makes him the best martial arts instructor in this era, although his archery skills are not as good as most mountain hunters, but again, the theoretical knowledge has completely exploded these mountain people for several eras.

As an ancient war enthusiast, Chen Xian naturally had a great interest in war horses, and after opening a farmhouse, he purchased several horses to attract tourists, among which the best one was the Three Hippos that he personally fed and trained.

Although Chen Xian did not go to a formal riding school, on the one hand, he collected information and explored by himself, and on the other hand, he consulted through acquaintances in the circle, plus he had his own horse and time, and he knew a lot about raising horses and riding.

Latent, camouflage, Chen Xian doesn't know much, but he at least knows how to use camouflage colors, and learned from the anti-Japanese liberation movie how to weave a straw hat with tree branches......

As for the reconnaissance, which he didn't understand at all, he was groping and concluding at the same time, but fortunately, these hunters themselves were good at drilling and tracking.

Just now, this young man was a member of the reconnaissance company, and these scouts had already been scattered by him long before Chen Xian set off from Xinzhuangzi.

Just now, this young man came to tell Chen Xian that the enemies in the woods, except for a small part of them who were on guard at the intersection, most of them had already sat on the ground to rest and eat dry food.

Hearing the news, Chen Xian thought about it slightly, and also issued an order to the soldiers to rest in batches.

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the two companies behind the phalanx sat down first and ate in batches.

After the soldiers in the rear row took turns eating and drinking, under the command of the company commander, they first walked dozens of steps to the sides, then walked dozens of steps forward, crossed the front row, and then turned to the middle.

After the front team changed to the back team, they also took turns to eat and rest in batches.

In the forest, Liu Erzu and the others, who were spying on this side from a distance, couldn't help but change their faces slightly when they saw this scene.

The two sides held each other for about half an hour, and a fast horse galloped from the direction of Dongzhuangzi, turned over and dismounted a hundred meters away from the phalanx.

The rider seemed to be a little flustered, and his riding skills were average, and he fell when he dismounted.

The fallen rider jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the phalanx.

The soldiers on the periphery of the phalanx who recognized him let him in.

This person is also a soldier of Chen Xian's reconnaissance company, this group of mountain hunters has no riding foundation, although they have been trained for a year, their riding skills are only average.

The soldier came to Chen Xian, gasped and said, "Dong Zhuangzi...... Yang...... and the Bai family...... The whole army was dispatched to ...... Let's go to the new Zhuangzi! ”

When Chen Xian heard this, his face was unwavering, he glanced around at the officers gathered around him, and looked at the worried looks on everyone's faces, he smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that with the five or six hundred people of the Yang family and the Bai family, you can lay down a new Zhuangzi?" ”

Several people groaned slightly, and they all shook their heads, "I can't fight!" ...... "Impossible!"

Chen Xian said with a smile: "There are more than 700 militiamen in the new Zhuangzi, each equipped with two muskets, and there are women and children who have undergone simple training to help them load medicine; Five or six hundred people, and there are no large-scale siege equipment, how can it be possible to lay down a new Zhuangzi by relying on ladders alone! ”

After a certain degree of brainwashing and education, coupled with military training, the militia under Chen Xian has both the will to fight and the ability to fight.

Seeing that Chen Xian said lightly, the nervous mood of the teenagers around him also relaxed.

In fact, seeing that the cavalry came out of the woods, bypassed their phalanx, and went to the direction of Dongzhuangzi, Chen Xian thought that the other party was about to contact the Yang and Bai families in Dongzhuangzi to act together.

At this time, the greatest use of the two families of East Zhuangzi and Yang Bai is naturally to copy Chen Xian's back road, attack the new Zhuangzi, and if the nest is beaten, Chen Xian will fall into a dilemma.

It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, if they don't know too much about the power of Dong Zhuangzi, Chen Xian wouldn't dare to abandon his lair and attack rashly.

Sure enough, more than two hours later, two groups of cavalry, one after the other, galloped from the direction of Dongzhuangzi, the cavalry that came first bypassed Chen Xian's phalanx and entered the woods, while the cavalry who came later stopped behind the phalanx and ran towards the phalanx on foot.

Later came Chen Xian's scouts, who brought the news of the victory.

As Chen Xian guessed, the family members of the Yang and Bai families carried a ladder to attack Zhuangzi, and were shot by the militia in Zhuangzi and dropped hundreds of corpses, and the heads of the two families could no longer move people.

Different from the excitement of Chen Xian and others when they heard the news, Liu Erzu, Peng Yibin and others were a little shocked and angry when they heard the news, since the defenders of the new Zhuangzi had been transferred out, why did the Yang and Bai families still fail?

To attack Chen Xian, the two natural allies of the two families of Dongzhuangzi and Yang Bai naturally have to contact each other, not to ask them to provide as much help, but mainly to rely on these two families to provide logistics, otherwise the army of more than 3,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and rely on the dry food brought by the army, they can't support it for a few days, and the siege of the city is a matter of urgency, so it is necessary to rely on the Yang and Bai families to provide military supplies.

Yang Bai and his family knew the news that Liu Erzu would personally supervise the arrival of the army two months ago, and when they heard this news, Yang Bai and the others were naturally overjoyed, and immediately paid out of their own pockets to hoard grain and grass.

Because these grains and grasses were mixed in the goods provided for Chen Xian, this time even Chen Xian's secret agents arranged in Dongzhuangzi did not find any clues.

As for Steward Yang, after hearing Liu Erzu's name, he naturally betrayed Chen Xian again.

After the anger, Liu Erzu looked at the sky that was almost dusk, and then looked at the small military formation of only six or seven hundred people outside the forest, and slapped his thigh fiercely, "It's so far, let's fight, we have more than 3,000 people, can we still be defeated, the previous plan was just to win without a fight, since you can't, then fight!" ”

With Liu Erzu's order, four hundred cavalry quickly poured out of the woods and quickly assembled more than 100 meters in front of the woods.

Chen Xian originally chose the position of receiving the formation, which was still more than a mile away from the exit of the woods, in order to leave room for the other party to form a formation.

If Chen Xian knotted the formation at the exit of the woods, the other party would not dare to come out at all, because there was no buffer space to receive the formation.

But if the other party can't come out, then Chen Xian's strategic goal of wanting a quick battle and a quick solution will not be achieved.

After Liu Erzu arrived, as soon as he saw Chen Xian taking the battle one mile away from the exit of the woods, he knew that the other party was here to fight, or even to fight a decisive battle, this was exactly what he couldn't figure out, the other party was only six or seven hundred people, if they were defending the city, there was still hope, how could they dare to come to the field!

It was precisely this puzzle that made Liu Erzu not start a war immediately, but sent someone to contact Yang Bai's family and ask them to copy Chen Xian's back road.

On the one hand, Liu Erzu felt that his side had a great advantage, and on the other hand, seeing that the sky was getting dark, once it was dark, the two sides would inevitably face off here all night and fight again tomorrow.

His own side came from afar, Chen Xian waited for work, and the two sides confronted each other all night, which was obviously unfavorable to his side.

It was these two points that made the cautious Liu Erzu press the concerns in his heart and give the order to attack!

The cavalry went out of the forest, and the front lined up to suppress the enemy's position, and the infantry behind trotted out of the forest one by one.

After the first capital came out of the forest, the second capital followed, and lined up behind the first capital......

By the time the five capitals came out, a battalion phalanx had already been arrayed.

This phalanx looks like an enlarged version of the phalanx commonly used by Yang and Bai.

In front of the phalanx is a long row of players, behind which are several long rows of skirmishers, and behind them are crossbowmen.

On each flank of the phalanx there was a row of long players and several rows of pikemen facing to the sides to guard the flanks.

A square array was assembled, and immediately under the command of its master, they marched forward in unison, came to the side of the cavalry formation, and stopped the whole team to guard against Chen Xian together.

Chen Xian just watched the other party change formation and the whole team, picking up the binoculars from time to time to observe.

Groups of soldiers rushed out of the forest, one by one phalanxes formed, and drove forward, Chen Xian watched from beginning to end.
