One after another, the cavalry of the official army, with a lance and a spear in their hands, took away one thief after another.

If the spear is broken, draw your sword and fight again.

The sword is like a shadow, swinging right and slashing.

The officers and soldiers who followed behind rolled in with horizontal swords and spears.

They slashed and roared.

That momentum, unstoppable.

Li Gongyi's thousand-person formation collapsed in an instant.

There is an insurmountable gap between the rabble and the well-trained officers and soldiers. One of the most important points is morale, military morale, and military discipline.

Although the people fighting on both sides were only farmers and ordinary people in the past, they may even be fellow villagers.

But on the one hand, they have received strict military discipline, can work together, and can withstand greater impacts.

However, the rebels can often only fight with the wind, their ability to resist shocks is even worse, and they are even poorly equipped, they are not well trained, and they do not have good command.

The same infantry.

Even if the officers and soldiers charged, they still maintained the battle formation of the fire team and cooperated with each other. But even if the thief army had set up a phalanx early, they were dispersed in just one charge.

For some men were afraid, afraid, and turned and fled.

No one went to top the gap that had been washed away.

And the commanders of the rebels, the command on the spot was even worse, and after the beginning of the battle, there was almost no command, and they all fought on their own.

This made the rebels feel that they were alone on the other side of the assault of the entire army of the army.

On the contrary, the officers and soldiers always slash and kill one or several enemies in front of them with one fire, and they always have an advantage.

Swing a knife.

Swing the knife, swing the knife again.

The rebels blocked left and right, but they dodged this knife, and another knife came over there.

There were several rebel teams in the distance, but they were just watching from afar, and they didn't even dare to step forward.

They watched as the thousand-strong friendly army formation collapsed and disintegrated almost instantly, and then scattered in all directions.

Zhang Xutuo came out through the formation, but did not continue to pursue the scattered thief army.

He has only one goal, which is Jia Wuben and his forwards who are under siege ahead.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand-person step formation collapsed, and hundreds of thieves fell to the ground.

Zhang Xutuo led hundreds of light horsemen to charge forward, and the battle flag fluttered beside him.

A larger number of foot soldiers followed the light horse, roaring and running.

On the battlefield, their roars shook the earth and made people fearful.

"Hold on!"

Ahead, another infantry formation of about 1,000 people stopped the road ahead.

Although these rebels were afraid of the officers and soldiers, they were also reluctantly assembled into a phalanx under the orders of the thieves, and they were still the same. In the front were shields and spears, then in the middle were some archers, and then there were infantry with all kinds of weapons, carrying spears, spears, and even agricultural tools such as iron forks, sticks, and flails.

They were close together, as if that would give them some security.

And not far behind them, there was a phalanx already waiting.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of the rebel army's lack of combat effectiveness, low morale, and weak will, Li Mi deliberately did not put all the rebels together to resist Zhang Xutuo.

On the contrary, he took the Dahai Temple as the battlefield, and on this battlefield by the canal, he deployed troops for more than ten miles, all of them formed one phalanx after another with one or two thousand people, and they were all scattered in disorder on this vast battlefield.

In the flatlands, among the pine forests, by the ditches, by the river, in the villages·······

There were many, many of these rebel thousand-man formations, but none of them were united.

He just wants Zhang Xutuo to rush to break it, but even if one is broken, it won't immediately affect the next one. Even these phalanxes don't even have the ability to block an impact.

But they were able to intercept at least once.

It doesn't matter if it is crushed, after scattering, it will take some time to reassemble again.

His tactics, in fact, are just like the design of the fang area in Chang'an or Luoyang City, all of which are isolated and separate, and when fighting, even if the enemy breaks through one square, it will not affect the next square.

At this time, shipyards, when building seagoing vessels, began to adopt a similar concept in the design of shipbuilding, that is, watertight compartments.

Li Mi organized countless rebels into one individual phalanx after another, and then threw them on this battlefield, which made Zhang Xutuo even if he defeated one phalanx after another, but it would not affect other phalanxes.

They are separate.

And every time Zhang Xutuo broke through a phalanx, he always had to leave a dozen or even dozens of corpses behind.

The more they rushed to the back, the more tired they became, and the more corpses they left behind.

Li Mi used practical actions to teach all the rebel leaders a lesson, how to fight the tactics of crowds, and how to use their strengths to avoid fighting with the officers and soldiers.

Zhang Xutuo is still impacting.

No one can stop it.

But in front of them, those phalanxes of hundreds or thousands of people seemed endless.

Defeat one, and immediately another one appears.

What he didn't even know was that when he defeated another army formation and kept moving forward, the army formations he had defeated at the beginning had slowly regrouped, and then they were ready to fight again.

The spears of the cavalrymen broke.

The warriors' swords were missing.

The hands of the archers were already weak.

The horses galloped more and more slowly.

Li Mi stood on the high tower of Daihai Temple, and he could already see Zhang Xutuo's army rushing closer and closer, and they still had about 5,000 or so.

"They're tired."

"Strike?"

"Wait."

Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben are only less than two miles apart, but the distance between these two miles is becoming more and more difficult to get close.

The thieves were growing in more and more formations, and they were even significantly more elite than the ones outside, they were better equipped, and they also set up a rejection horse in front of the military formation.

In particular, the number of bows and crossbows has increased, and some rebels even have large crossbows.

Zhang Xutuo still has 5,000 people, and Jia Wuben still has 2,000.

10,000 horses, unconsciously, have lost 3,000.

on the tower.

Li Mi stroked his beard and fixed his eyes on the battlefield.

"It is worthy of Zhang Xutuo, and it is worthy of being Luo Cheng's teacher." Li Mi sighed, "If it weren't for the trick I used to lure him to march a hundred miles here, I'm afraid that it would be even more fierce now." ”

"Their equipment is so good, otherwise we wouldn't be afraid of them." There is humanity.

Li Mi smiled.

"What kind of equipment is this equipment, you haven't seen the emperor's Xiaoguo army, nor have you seen Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses. Under their command, they all have the strongest armored cavalry in the world, even among the infantry, there are also heavy infantry equipped with Mingguang armor and Mo sword, they are the real elite of the world, fortunately, we don't have to face such strong soldiers this time. ”

If Zhang Xutuo did not bring the soldiers who were already much worse than before, if the number of Zhang Xutuo's soldiers was more, then Li Mi would not dare to hunt Zhang Xutuo here even if he had 200,000 righteous troops.
