Knock knock, the drums outside the city pass remembered again, the thief army was about to start attacking, and soon everyone arrived at their predetermined position, waiting for the battle, each of them had a cold and cruel face, and they did not have the slightest fear in the face of death.

"Let the pikemen go into battle, with the shield soldiers as the center, the pikemen as the two wings, and the archers shooting in the rear, we can't let the thieves fight a war of attrition like this, we can't afford to fight." Qin Yiming's expression was resolute.

Yang Baihu's face was ugly, he knew what Qin Yiming wanted to do, but it was too risky, after all, the other party still had thousands of old battalions that had not been dispatched, and there were only a few of them.

"It's decided, let's go!" Qin Yiming said again. Qin Yiming was gambling, he hoped that the spear battalion would go out to fight and kill or directly annihilate those cannon fodder, so that his people could get a chance to breathe.

Just as Qin Yiming arranged, Da Niu's shield battalion was in the middle, and both wings were pikemen, and they stood in several rows, waiting for the thief army to charge.

"Let the people of the old camp go on today!" The sweeping king saw that there were hundreds of more spearmen, and it was estimated that the officers and soldiers in the city had reached the end, and he wanted to completely defeat it in a battle, and the king of Taiping was overjoyed and said: "Finally let the old battalion attack, I want to fight the striker, I must kill this gang of thieves with my own hands, his grandmother's, it's too hateful!" ”

"You have to be careful." The Sweeper commanded.

"What are you afraid of, it's been three days of fighting, and the shotguns on the city gate are gone, and these people are estimated to be about the same, it's time for me to go up and collect people's heads, haha!" The King of Taiping doesn't care, so many people have died these days, he has already seen the means that he should see, and the officials and soldiers are also poor in donkey skills and the end of the crossbow.

"Brothers, follow me to kill, after killing, we can go to Huguang and rob food, silver, and women!" King Taiping cheered up the old camp and said.

"Grab food, grab money, grab women!" The wolves of the old camp roared, they were full of blood and magnificent.

"Kill!" The Taiping King commanded the charge and killed.

Two thousand old battalions rushed towards Qin Yiming's army formation, they had seen the power of the shield soldiers, and when they saw those pikemen, they thought that the pikemen were soft persimmons, and many people rushed over.

"Thorn!"

The spear pierced, the sharp spear, the head of which reflected a blinding light in the sunlight. Those soldiers of the old battalion who were not on guard may really not expect that the pikemen would be so powerful, and many of them watched the iron spear head inserted into their lower abdomen, with big eyes, and they couldn't believe it until the moment of death.

They really didn't expect that the pikemen were even more powerful than those shield soldiers!

The pikemen's weapon was a spear, which weighed no more than five pounds, and the pikemen had little protection to increase the burden on their bodies, so they stabbed the spear quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately. These pikemen practiced this maneuver a thousand times a day, and the enemies who rushed up fell one by one, like the wood they usually trained.

Because the pass is too narrow, the first row of pikemen is very crowded, Qin Yiming found that such a dense platoon not only does not harbor the combat effectiveness of the pike battalion, but strengthens the stability of the entire pike battalion team, they are like a phalanx, even if someone in front falls, the people behind will make up for it, and they can always maintain the maximum combat effectiveness.

"What kind of devil is this!" King Taiping couldn't believe his eyes, watching his old battalion soldiers fall in rows, and retreating, he thought that the shield soldiers were perverted enough, but he didn't expect this pikemen to be so powerful.

Qin Yiming didn't expect this battle damage result, he really didn't expect the pikemen to be so powerful, this is not only because his pikemen are a well-trained and high-quality team, but also because the infantry phalanx of the old battalion is too loose, and when the two armies are attacking head-on, Qin Yiming's close pikemen in the unit contact area The damage is obviously higher than that of the infantry of the old battalion, which means that the soldiers of an old battalion may have to face the power of two spears at the same time.

"Shieldmen are strong in protection, pikemen are strong in melee attack!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Yiming was very satisfied with his soldiers' achievements. However, this result became less obvious the further back it went, because the further forward it went, the denser the infantry of the old battalion became.

Suddenly, Qin Yiming found a person, there were still a lot of thieves around that person, and he kept commanding the thieves behind him to attack the military formation.

"Yang Baihu, did you see that person?" Qin Yiming pointed and said.

Yang Baihu looked over, and then nodded.

"That man should be a leader, according to more than two hundred steps here, can you be sure?" Qin Yiming is self-aware, he doesn't have this ability from such a distance.

"Push the formation ten steps forward, and you'll be within range of my kill!" Yang Baihu said.

"Okay, little monkey, tell Da Niu to push ten steps forward!" Qin Yiming commanded, and the little monkey who had been closely protecting him got the order and ran down.

King Taiping saw that the old camp not only did not break through the pass, but was also forced to retreat, and he went to the front line in a hurry, but he seemed to forget that a few days ago the subordinate was blocked by an arrow, when he saw the arrow that would always turn, spinning at high speed, flying towards him through the crowd, he remembered, but it was too late at this time, the arrow was too fast, there was no time for him to dodge, straight through the throat.

"The King of Taiping is dead, the King of Taiping is dead, our leader is dead!" The surrounding soldiers screamed in fright as they looked at the arrow that was stuck in their throats. The old battalion in front heard the commotion behind, and at this time the ranks on the front line were in chaos, and many people were distracted and were pierced with spears.

"Oh no, a large number of officers and cavalry have appeared behind us, and they have already killed them." As soon as the sweeping king received the news that the Taiping King had died in battle, and received unfavorable news from the rear, he shouted in a hurry: "What? How many people are there?! ”

Qin Yiming stood at the head of the pass city, and saw from a distance the back of the peasant army, a cavalry team of three or four thousand people rushed over like lightning, rolling up the dust in the sky.

Many of the sturdy and old battalions of the peasant army turned their guns at this time and went directly to meet them, and they rushed as if they were crazy, and the more they rushed to the rear, the more scattered their troops became, like a huge scissors shape, while the officers and soldiers were like an awl, directly inserted into the sea of people of the peasant army.

"Give it all to me, rush up to me, and surround them to the death, otherwise none of us will survive!" After the sweeping king saw this team, his face changed, he immediately made a decision, pressed all his capital, and went all out to resist this team of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers of Wuyang Pass behind him seemed to have been forgotten by him, the reason why he was like this was because the team he came from the direction of Xinyang was too terrible, he was Cao Wenzhao's team.

Qin Yiming also clearly saw that the main force of the peasant army had changed direction, and they went all out to meet the cavalry from the north, while there were only some cannon fodder left on his side, and there were many old and weak women and children mixed in.

"Pass the order, take this opportunity to let our army advance with all our might, put a little pressure on the thief army, let them fight on two fronts, and the surrendered thief army will not die!" Qin Yiming commanded.

"Yes, sir!" One of the pro-soldiers immediately ran down.
