The Wei River is the boundary. The black and brown array, neatly assembled on the east bank, although the brothers have been panting, but everyone is desperately unloading a tiger on the wheelbarrow, quickly digging the fortifications, stabilizing the cannon body, the huge bed crossbow also began to be assembled and laid out on the bank of the river, behind them, layers of longbowmen lined up in the captain's shouts, one by one longbows were wound, one by one giant arrows ** at their feet, waiting for the order to launch at any time.

The black spearmen spread out, and the layers of guns in the forest quickly extended and grew on the bank of the river, this time, the breaking army used all their strength, and at all costs they had to break through the enemy camp and rescue the brothers such as Tianxing.

Yes, Lu Shi, the king of Chuang, who was stationed on the riverbank, kept stomping his feet anxiously, and the white dragon under him also felt the anxiety and urgency of his master, and turned back and forth uneasily.

Although the officers and soldiers lacked training, they had the advantage of location and time.

The battle began on the side of the joint camp of the official army, but the camp of the army was in Weinan, a full ten miles away from here.

And on the west bank of the Wei River, when Lu Shi arrived here, Da Lang had already entered the enemy formation, the main thing is that during this time, the official army had already reacted, and at the same time as dividing the troops to block the Tianxing and Da Lang cavalry, on the west bank of the Wei River, the original joint camp Dazhai had been used to form a solid array, blocking Lu Shi's rescue.

The army of the Han family in the world, not enterprising enough, but more than enough defense, thousands of years of experience accumulation, has allowed them to inherit a complete set of defensive experience means, now, on the opposite side, rejection of horses, tank cars, gun arrays, Huzun artillery, and a layer of archers, has been prepared, all the precautions have been completed, now, want to rush in, has become unrealistic.

When Lu Shi carefully observed the battle formation of the "regular army" of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

To be honest, in addition to fighting to the death with the border army in Yanchuan, in the past two years, he has not really fought against the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhao Xing constantly reported the collected official and military intelligence, but what he saw was only on paper.

Now, seeing the black muzzle of the river bank facing the black pressure, the dense fire system, and all kinds of unknown defensive equipment, it has already frightened Lu Shi, and what is even more terrifying is that in the official army firearms battle array, there are still several huge cannons, the huge cannon body, the black hole and the huge cannon muzzle like a beast, which deeply shocked Lu Shi.

In fact, during the Yongle period (1403-1424), the Ming Dynasty also specially set up the "Shenji Battalion", which was second to none in China and even the world at that time.

As early as the war carried out by Zhu Yuanzhang's army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, firearms had been used. However, at this time, there were no rules on the equipment of firearms in the army, and the specific proportion of firearms in the army is not known in the literature. After the Ming Dynasty unified the whole country, the Ming government began to establish a professional firearms unit and stipulate the proportion of firearms in the army in view of the powerful destructive power of firearms in the war and the strong combat effectiveness of firearms troops, such as the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming government officially issued a decree stipulating: "All armies are 100 households, guns are ten, swords and cards are 20, bows and arrows are 30, and guns are 40." In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the Ming government also stipulated: Each sea-going ship of the navy should be equipped with four bowl-mouth guns, 16 handguns, 20 muskets, 20 rockets and 20 arrows, and so on. The above ratio of firearms and cold weapons equipped by the Ming army in the Hongwu period to nine clearly reflects the prevalence of firearms and equipment in the Ming Dynasty, and has been customized to a certain extent. In the second year of Chenghua, the Ming general Guo Deng suggested to the Ming government that the infantry "use ten divine guns, ten archers, five sword players, ten medicine arrows and strong crossbowmen, eight divine cannons and #3 gunpowder, and seven miscellaneous users". According to this provision, the soldiers who used firearms in the Ming infantry at that time accounted for about 13 of the total number of establishments.

More strict requirements for the establishment, each battalion (5,000 people) with 3,600 thunderbolt guns, 9,000 pounds of medicine, 900,000 pieces of lead; 0 rifles and Dalian bead guns, 675 pounds of combined medicine; There are 160 generals (General Zhankou is the name of the Ming Dynasty for field heavy artillery), and another 1,000 are cavalry. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty had a strong military strength, with heavy artillery and many attack weapons that used gunpowder.

There are also a variety of chariots, and the defense is almost like an iron bucket.

Of course, these are all for the strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and for the current temporary patchwork, there is no such powerful equipment.

However, this army at this time is the last reliance and the last straw for Yang Hehong Chengchou and Li Yingzhi, so on the two sides of the two governments and three sides, almost at all costs took out all the family funds to equip them, although it is not as strong as the equipment of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not far behind.

At this time, the shouting and killing sound of the rear of the official army had begun to slowly spread to the rear of the official army joint camp, during which the bombardment of the fire system began to appear, and every roar made Lu Shi worry.

"King Chuang, the quality of the firearms of the officers and soldiers is very bad." Geng Kui saw Lu Shi's worries, and stepped forward and whispered relief: "At the same time, the use of firearms is not something that can be mastered overnight, and these newly recruited homeless troops have no time to train them at all, not to mention, they don't have so much gunpowder and lead for them to train, so the accuracy and lethality are simply not worth mentioning." ”

Lu Shi nervously looked at the dust and shouted in the distance, and replied with a mumbled sound.

The dust went inside, indicating that the original three thousand brothers and Dalang's reinforcement brothers had converged, and they should try to kill the place where the Heavenly Star was besieged, hoping that the Grand Commander would hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

Following Mr. Zixiu, who had seen the battle array, looked at the sound of fighting and dust farther and farther away, and then looked at the black pressure in front of him, the boundless official and military array, and said with pity: "Actually, at this time, the most important thing for Da Lang to do is to kill back, and the inside and outside should break the military formation in front of him, at that time, there will be no suspense in this decisive battle in Shaanxi." ”

He had a point, a point, and he himself was proud of his omnipotence.

However, he immediately felt countless knives and spears pointed at him, and his whole body was instantly completely depleted.

Turning his head sharply, there was no knife and gun persecution, but there were countless sharp eyes like knives and guns, locking himself tightly, if it weren't for the fact that everyone saw that after he cultivated and didn't understand the relationship between people in the base area, he would have chopped these people into meat sauce a long time ago.

In fact, he doesn't understand the feelings between these brothers now, he doesn't understand the importance of everyone in this team, and he doesn't understand the true meaning of the slogan of not abandoning and not giving up.

Zixiu didn't care about other people's eyes, he only cared about two people, one was Zhao Xing, who was always hiding in the back of King Chuang, and when he looked over, he saw Zhao Xing squinting his eyes and expressionless. But the muscles in his cheeks were trembling slightly.

When he looked at King Chuang, Mr. Zixiu's body began to tremble.

Lu Shi didn't look at him, but he saw Lu Shi's face from the side, which he had never seen before. His hand had already touched the sword at his waist, and when he saw that situation, if he was too talkative, he would definitely not be polite if he cut himself.

"King Chuang—" Zi Xiu trembled and trembled, trying to explain something.

Lu Shi let out a long breath and said lightly: "I have already lost a brother, I can't lose another brother, even if we kill the last person left, we don't want to lose a good brother." ”

Zi Xiu was gloomy, he had also carefully inquired about all kinds of deeds since Lu Shi's accident, and he knew who the lost brother Lu Shi was talking about now, Zhao Dahai, the one who betrayed him, in fact, strictly speaking, the traitor who betrayed this collective.

Grieving for the death of a betrayer, and obsessing about it, this is the true temperament of King Chuang, who he followed, I don't know, this is a good thing, or a bad thing.

But he knew the answer immediately, he looked at the generals and soldiers around him, countless eyes, fiery look at the white-robed scribe, and look at the banner that stretched unyieldingly in the cold north wind.

Zixiu suddenly knew the reason. King Chuang's character is a good thing, a person who betrayed himself and almost made himself fall into a catastrophe, how can he betray himself? This is a kind of homecoming.

At this time, Zixiu arched his hands high on the war horse, and according to the most rules and highest etiquette of Confucianism, he gave a deep salute to Lu Shi's back.

"Coax-" An earth-shattering loud bang exploded in front of the two armies, followed by several identical explosions one after another.

On the official and military positions, the red-coated cannon was the first to fire, and several black and white thick clouds of smoke erupted and instantly diffused in the positions of the official and military firearms battalions.

Followed by a few screams rushed towards his big array, at this time, Zixiu, had just finished his set of weekly rituals, at this time he was frightened by the huge cannon sound, and at the same time was shocked by the scream in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw several dark red iron balls whistling towards his face, faster and faster, and it seemed that he had reached his head in a blink of an eye.

When Zixiu saw it, he screamed miserably, threw away the hadith of the gentleman Taishan collapsing in front of him without changing his face, turned around and ran.

However, when he turned around and ran a few steps, he felt that he was moving, and only he was moving on the position of the 40,000-strong army.

Looking up in surprise, King Chuang didn't move, Geng Kui and Zhao Xing didn't move, all the generals didn't move, Wang Jian, Zhang Xiao and their apprentices didn't move, all the soldiers didn't move, and the master who was assigned swords and guns to prepare for battle didn't move—the big banner that was stretched out and flying didn't move.

The entire large array did not move, and the hearts of tens of thousands of troops who broke into the army did not move.

In this immobile mountain, the army firmly greeted the baptism of a decisive battle.
