Zhang Xianzhong's troops were divided into three phalanxes, of which the middle road was the main phalanx, the number of people was relatively large, about seven or eight thousand people, the two wings of the phalanx were about five thousand people, the three phalanxes were advancing in parallel, and they were linked to each other to defend, attacking the left and right, attacking the right and left, and attacking the middle, then the left and right.

"It's nice to have a lot of people, you can arrange the battlefield at will!" Qin Yiming said with emotion, no wonder the military god Han Xin said that the more soldiers, the better.

"Let's retreat, let's see the situation first!" Qin Yiming ordered.

Qin Yiming retreated again with the musketeers to the top of the small hill, which was a high place, and had an unobstructed view of the entire battlefield.

"Will they come?" Ma Fengyi's beautiful eyes stared at the thieves below the mountain, watching their slow movements.

"Probably not, they should just intercept us to attack the rear army of the Zhang thief, after all, if we block the southern end of the river valley, the Zhang thief's people will be in danger, Qin Zongbing, or we will also come to a counter-encirclement, take and eliminate the three thief phalanx, and go directly to block the exit of the river valley!" Zuo Mengeng suggested that he felt that his plan was feasible, the width of the river valley was only that large, and their people were barely enough, if they really succeeded in blocking the mouth of the river valley, Zhang Thief's army would inevitably collapse!

"Hehe, it's impossible for Zhang Thief to give us this opportunity!" Qin Yiming affirmed, looking at the river valley in the distance.

"Here they come, they come, and you see, their wings are separated, and are they going to surround us on the top of the hill?" Zuo Mengeng pointed to the phalanx of thieves and shouted.

Qin Yiming pulled back his vision and saw that the rogue phalanx had indeed dispersed, and their wings began to open forward, forming a huge triangle, moving towards the top of the mountain where Qin Yiming was.

"Keep retreating!" Qin Yiming ordered decisively.

After retreating like this two or three times, Qin Yiming's 3,000 people led these more than 10,000 people out of two or three kilometers, although the three large squares of the thieves were basically still in a triangle, but now they were obviously deformed, and the thieves on the left flank were obviously too prominent, and they were thousands of steps away from the middle army formation.

"It's time to crush their left flank first!" Qin Yiming ordered.

Qin Yiming's strategy is also very simple, in this big snow, he has an absolute speed advantage, but the number of people is a disadvantage, so he uses the method of disturbing at a distance, once there is an opportunity between the three military formations of the thieves, he can rely on the speed advantage to quickly intersperse and defeat one or two of them first.

Bang bang bang.

The firearms began to fire violently, ** burning angrily in the barrel, and the lead bullet was quickly pushed out in the limited space, and there was a long tongue of fire at the muzzle, which was not one, but a long row of tongues of fire.

Compared with bows and arrows, the most powerful thing about lead bullet is its penetrating power, those thieves' rattan cards can't be blocked at all, and lead bullets can still penetrate the rattan cards and drill into the thieves' bodies.

At the same time that the left wing of the rogue phalanx was attacked, the rogue army and the right flank quickly moved closer to the Ming army phalanx and surrounded it in a roundabout way, and now it is the key to victory or defeat, speed!

The snow covered the entire land, enough to drown the knees of adults, which made it extremely difficult to walk, and every step was very difficult, but the thieves in the middle army and the thieves on the right flank ran desperately forward.

Bang bang bang.

With every volley, dozens or hundreds of people fall, and the rogues on the left flank are now fish on the chopping block, living targets for these musketeers.

"Quick, changer!" Qin Yiming shouted loudly, some of the left-wing thieves have already run to within fifty steps, these people are like crazy, they may be because of the large number of people this time, so their fighting spirit is obviously much stronger.

Whoosh.

Three arrows in one bow!

Ma Fengyi launched an attack on the nearby thieves, and each arrow accurately shot at the target, Ma Fengyi's superb archery skills shocked Zuo Mengeng, and he looked at it again......

The thieves in the vicinity may not be able to rush for a while, but it seems that they will not collapse all at once, but the problem is that if it drags on for too long, the thieves of the Chinese army and the right wing are very willing to rush over, and they can't drag it any longer, they must find a way!

"Rush, rush! Brothers, as long as we hold on, when the Chinese army arrives with the right wing, we will win! "In the middle of the thieves, a small leader is constantly directing the people, inspiring the thieves to run forward.

Qin Yi saw this person early in the morning, and he concluded that this person was the leader of this army, but this distance was at least two hundred steps, and it was basically impossible for the musket to accurately hit him hiding in the crowd, and at this time, when he saw Ma Fengyi shooting arrows, his eyes lit up.

"Feng Yi, capture the thief and capture the king first, look there, the person with the big knife in front of the big flag, is he sure to beat him?"

After Ma Fengyi's gaze was swept, she hesitated for a moment and said, "If it doesn't blow up, I can definitely do it at this distance, I'll try it!" ”

Ma Fengyi pulled out an arrow from the quiver, pulled the bow and aimed it at the leader in the distance, and then was too high at a small angle, ready to throw!

Sou!

An arrow shot out, piercing the air in the icy cold wind, sending out a faint, high-pitched tiger roar.

The north wind is howling, rolling up snowflakes in the sky!

"It's a pity, it's a little bit off!" Ma Fengyi deflated.

That arrow shot the people around the little leader, but fortunately, the little leader of the thieves didn't find out that the arrow was specially targeted at him, and he was still commanding the whole team.

"Cousin, it's better for you to come!"

Qin Yiming nodded and took Ma Fengyi's bow, this bow was much smaller than the nine-stone bow given to him by Yang Jiuyi, it should be a five-stone bow.

"Bow and arrow! Be heavy! ”

"Cousin, I have an iron arrow here!"

Qin Yiming put on the bow and arrow, and at the moment he pulled the bow, he was secretly surprised in his heart, originally he thought that Ma Fengyi was only using a five-stone bow, but he didn't expect that this five-stone bow was obviously much more laborious than the ordinary five-stone bow, and it could almost be close to the strength of the seven-stone bow.

For rapid archery, the thumb snap method is generally used, but if you want to send a spiral arrow, the index finger hook method is more useful.

Qin Yiming's arrow was raised at a small angle, and the back of his erected hand turned horizontally and shot out!

Zuo Mengeng was concerned about whether he could shoot the thief, but Ma Fengyi was concerned about Qin Yiming's archery action, and she was very excited.

Sou!

The high-speed spinning iron arrow pierces through all obstacles!

"Hit! Hit! ”

Zuo Mengeng and Ma Fengyi both shouted excitedly! Ma Fengyi's beautiful eyes were as tender as water, she looked at Qin Yiming silently, there was simple trust and worship in her eyes, and she held her bow and arrow tightly with both hands.

After the death of the small leader of the thieves, the thieves also quickly collapsed.

The left flank collapsed instantly, and the entire phalanx began to flee, they fled desperately to the middle, many of them accidentally rolled on the snow, and the people behind Ben trampled in a panic.

The battle in the White River Valley is also extremely fierce!

After a day of fighting, Zuo Liangyu and Lu Jiude's fighting enthusiasm was exceptionally high, and because of Zuo Liangyu's trust in Qin Yiming's combat effectiveness, he deeply understood that as long as they persevered, they could survive. Lu Jiude is more simple, he is a eunuch, he doesn't care who the country is deep down in his heart, if he is an outsider, he will choose to surrender, but he can't fall into the hands of thieves, because he feels that he has too much blood, and in his bones, he looks down on thieves.

Now there is no need to break through, but as long as it is defensive, Zuo Liangyu feels that his strength is enough, and he put a phalanx of 10,000 people to resist in the north, the pressure is not great, and the thieves are inferior to the Ming army in terms of numbers and weapons.

But in the south, Zhang Xianzhong's main force still gave him a lot of pressure, fortunately, this gap is not very wide, Zhang Xianzhong can't invest all his troops, in this kind of place, as long as Zuo Liangyu is unwilling to surrender, it is a war of attrition! And in terms of personnel attrition, Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong are basically equal!

"Oh no, the team outside our outside has been shattered!" Pan Duao looked nervous, his eyes full of worry.

"What? Twenty thousand or so people didn't win the two or three thousand? Zhang Xianzhong stared at the bull's eye, his face was incredulous, he struggled to climb to a high overlook, and saw that his team of more than 10,000 people was chased and killed by two or three thousand people of the Ming army!

"His grandmother's Qin Yiming, who kills a thousand knives, this evil star is Lao Tzu's nemesis, every time it is a good thing that this evil star comes out to harm me! Lao Tzu wants to kill this thief with his own hands! Zhang Xianzhong lost his mind, pulled out his waist knife and wanted to rush out to kill people alone.

"Don't be a king, your king!" Pan Duao pulled Zhang Xianzhong's arm, and the surrounding soldiers also blocked Zhang Xianzhong's way.

"King, the situation is not good for us, why don't we withdraw first and think about it in the long run!" Pan Duao said earnestly.

"Bastard! Bastard! Zhang Xianzhong couldn't vent his grievances, he was depressed, and couldn't help but scold.

"The king, it's just two thousand officers and soldiers, and it doesn't affect the overall situation!" A pro-soldier reassured.

"Fart, if these people put guns behind our butts, the morale of our army will be low, and it will collapse sooner or later!" Zhang Xianzhong scolded.

The pro-soldier was sprayed by Zhang Xianzhong's spittle, and seeing the anger on Zhang Xianzhong's face, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Report!" One spy came running wildly, and the other accidentally rolled on the snow.

"What?" Pan Duao asked.

"It's not good for the king, it's not good for the military division, our new grain and grass ...... in the party's mouth"

"What's wrong with the grain and grass? Say it quickly, or Lao Tzu will cut you! Zhang Xianzhong had an ominous premonition and asked anxiously.

"The new granary at the mouth of the party was burned by fire!" The spy fell to his knees and shouted.

"What?" Zhang Xianzhong's face was red with anger, his eyes were about to ooze blood, he was indifferent for a while, and suddenly raised his knife and scolded: "Spy, dare to disturb the morale of the army, the party has General Anxi guarding the officer, how can it be burned!" ”

The knife in the hand falls, the head falls to the ground, the white ground and the red snow!

The people around didn't dare to say anything, they didn't know if the news was true, but it didn't matter if it was true or not, because the most important Zhang Xianzhong was very angry now, and if they were not careful, they would also fall to the ground.

"Inform General Sun Kewang of Pingdong that the whole army is ready to retreat at night!"
