(It may be a bit messy to see here, because when I updated it yesterday, I missed the forty-sixth chapter, and directly updated the forty-seventh and forty-eighth chapters!) I apologize to everyone here! Thank you for your understanding!! ）

A tall and burly general wearing a delicate scale armor rode on a black horse, marching in a group of officers and soldiers with a solemn face, constantly urging his subordinates to speed up the journey, only to see that this person had a dark face, a beard on his face, and a pair of ringed eyes flashing with fierce light, and he was burly and powerful. （..)

On both sides of his saddle, there are two iron shovels, which are obviously some weight guys, each of which must weigh at least ten catties, and the iron mace may have too much blood on his body, which makes the iron mace black and shiny, and behind the saddle there is a hard bow with iron tires and two pots full of carved arrows.

Anyone who looks at his appearance will not think that he is a good master, and at a glance, he will know that this person is definitely a fierce general-level character.

And the officers and troops under his command are much stronger than the general guards army, and the quality of equipment is also much higher than that of the guards army, and the armoured soldiers in the army are more than forty percent, and these generals also show a fierce look, at least there is no chaos on the march, all the officers and soldiers are pursed and sweat and rush forward, but no one complains about this.

A group of horsemen, kicking up a cloud of dust from front of them, galloped along the official road, grabbed the reins of their horses one by one in front of the army, and circled their horses to make way of the way.

And led by a military general galloped past the side of the road, and quickly rushed to the position of the banner of the Chinese army, and the banner was a big congratulatory word, when he came to the position of the Chinese army, he shouted: "The Hussar Guard of the Left Association will report to General He that Liu Datong wants to report to General He!" Way! ”

The officers and soldiers who were marching in the position of the Chinese army looked coldly at this person who called himself Liu Datong, and made way for him under the officer's order, and he rushed to the position of the banner of the Chinese army as soon as he raised his horsewhip, and when he saw the black-faced general from a distance, Liu Datong turned over and jumped off the war horse, and quickly came to the general, knelt down on one knee and shouted to him:

"See General He!"

"Liu Datong, you led your troops to pursue the thief army and Tan Ma, have you ever killed him?" Immediately, the general grabbed the reins of the horse, looked down at Liu Datong, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked him.

"I'm ashamed of my humble position, those thieves are really cunning, and I only killed two of them, but I didn't kill them all! Please forgive the General! However, the humble duty discovered that there was a thief army at the big stone bridge of the Wanzi River three miles ahead, with a strength of more than 1,000 people, and the humble duty looked at their banner, which should be the pole of the self-proclaimed Xingtian Army entrenched in the area of Huangyang recently, blocking our way! The special command department rushed back, reported to the general, and asked the general to decide! This Liu Datong didn't dare to lie, and honestly reported their results, and informed He Renlong of the enemy information he had just encountered.

He Renlong raised his eyebrows, his brows furrowed slightly, and he first muttered to himself and then asked, "Xingtianjun?" …… Are you sure they are the Heavenly Army of Wangyang? ”

Liu Datong bowed his head and replied: "I saw that their banner was embroidered with a pattern of Xingtian, and I thought that there should be no mistake, they took the first step and occupied the west bank of the big stone bridge, and they had already lined up to block the way!" However, after taking a look at it, they are just a group of rabble, and the strength will not exceed 1,000, and it seems that they intend to prevent our army from returning to Longzhou! ”

He Renlong heard that there were only more than 1,000 people on the other side, and he heard Liu Datong say that they were just a rabble, so he was relieved, and sneered: "What should I be!" It's just a small pole along the way! I actually want to stop Lao Tzu from returning to Longzhou City! Come on, pass the order, and then speed up, and rush to the big stone bridge of the Wanzi River to line up! I want to see what is so powerful about this Heavenly Army, Feng Xiangwei's waste, they will be defeated twice in a row! You get up! You guys are really stupid, dozens of people, you can't even solve a few pole probes, shame on me! ”

Liu Datong didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, today he was indeed a little depressed, dozens of people chased a few people, ten times more than the enemy, but he still let the family run away, this is not counted, he also folded several subordinates, this matter said, it really made his face gloomy, after being scolded by He Renlong, he didn't dare to let go of a fart, and quickly got up and retreated to the side.

And He Renlongdu, with his soldiers and horses, immediately sped up his speed and rushed towards the direction of Dashiqiao.

When He Renlong Lema stood on a dirt slope about 300 steps on the east bank of the Wanzi River, and looked at the opposite bank with fixed eyes, the sneering smile on his face became a little thicker, and he said to several subordinate generals around him with a disdainful tone: "If it is really a group of rabble, they also want to stop us from crossing the river and returning to Longzhou City, it is really a group of things who don't know whether to live or die!" ”

And several of his subordinates also showed contemptuous smiles, because after they arrived here, they looked at the other side of the bank, and what fell into their eyes was only a group of thieves in different costumes and without any military appearance, who were babbling on the slope on the other side of the stone bridge of the Wanzi River, looking chaotic, except for the red Xingtian banner that fluttered in the wind, it was not a decent army at all, so everyone couldn't help but despise this Xingtian army.

"Give you a chance, who will lead the troops to rush over and break up this rabble for me? This time, the credit for the first battle of Longzhou will be credited to whom! He Renlong glanced at the Xingtian Army on the other side, his heart was full of contempt, and asked his subordinates.

After seeing the lineup of the Xingtian army on the other side, all the generals under He Renlong were interested, and several people stood up at the same time and shouted to He Renlong: "I am willing to go to ...... of my job."

"Alright, alright! Don't fucking fight, just get on when you see a bargain, I can't see what you think about you bunnies? Lu Pin, let you take advantage of it this time, you take 400 people to go over first, let people cross the bridge first to persuade them to surrender, if they don't agree, they will lead the troops to Lao Tzu to rush over and slaughter the gang of thieves on the other side! With a contemptuous smile, He Renlong waved his hand to tell them not to fight, and named one of his subordinates, asking him to lead his troops into battle.

The rest of the generals who were not named all showed dissatisfied looks, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of He Renlong, so they had to retreat to the side, looking coldly at this Lu Pin happily receiving the order, and then turned around and went down to dispatch his subordinates, and began to line up in front of the army, preparing to attack.

This is not He Renlong's trust, He Renlong since he followed Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi to lead the army to suppress bandits, it has always been said that there are more victories and fewer defeats, and often less wins more, the fundamental problem of the people's army is that the vast majority of their soldiers are peasants before engaging in the rebellion, and only a small number of soldiers are invested in the peasant army, so the combat quality is often very different from these officers and soldiers who eat professional meals, and even their combat effectiveness, often surpassed the peasant army by a large margin.

Therefore, in many cases, as long as the main general of the official army is not a complete stupid pig, the same force will rarely be defeated by the peasant army, and more often the official army will win more with less, as long as the elite generals are sent to launch an attack on the peasant army, disrupt their position, and then the army will rush up again, and the peasant army will be able to kill the peasant army that is many times or even several times more than them and flee.

Today, He Renlong also didn't take the Xingtian army on the other side of the river in his eyes, thinking that there was no need to pay too much attention to them, originally this group of Xingtian army was far less powerful than them, and it seemed that they had not undergone any effective drills, and the quality of the equipment was poor, so in his opinion, there was no need to send too many troops to fight, nor did he need to send troops to build bridges from both sides to force the crossing, he only needed to send a small number of elite soldiers to assault, which was enough to crush the thief army on the other side, and basically there was no need to delay any effort. However, now he is still in a hurry to return to Longzhou, and he is not very willing to delay his work here because of this little-known Xingtian army, so he asked Lu Pin to send an envoy to cross the river first to persuade this Xingtian army to surrender, if he can scare them away or persuade them to surrender without fighting, it would be better.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian was also leading his subordinates to stand under the banner of Xingtian, coldly watching the officers and soldiers who came over from the other side of the Wanzi River, but in front of them, it was the Xingtian Army's baggage team that stood in front of them.

Although the soldiers of the Xingtian Army are much more capable than the auxiliary soldiers of the other mutant army, and most of them are also some young and strong, but their main task in peacetime is still responsible for the transportation of baggage, and they do some miscellaneous work in the army, and only when they have to go into battle, they will be ordered to go into battle, and if they are sent into battle, the battle will either be basically decided, or they will have to be used at a critical juncture.

Therefore, the quality of the equipment of the Xingtian Army is naturally not good, and even the generals of the baggage team are not issued with any armor, let alone the soldiers below, at most, one person is issued with a spear, and some people can be equipped with a waist knife, but even so, compared to those mutant soldiers with hoes and flat burdens, the quality of their equipment is also good.

Xiao Tianjian didn't restrain the soldiers too much, not only did he not restrain them, but ordered them to stand more chaotically, and the formation was also very loose, just placing the well-equipped soldiers behind them, covering the soldiers' figures.

In fact, this move is a strategy of arrogance to put it bluntly, he will not be stupid enough to face the enemy army several times his size, and show his old book at once, in that case, He Renlong will not be careless when he sees his military appearance, and he will definitely send heavy troops, build a pontoon bridge and force the Wanzi River in several ways, and when the time comes, with his troops, if he wants to stop He Renlong's soldiers and horses, it is simply a dream.

And he didn't plan to fight He Renlong to the end here, the main purpose of his coming this time was to give He Renlong a suffocation, kill the prestige of He Renlong and his generals, let them know the power of the Xingtian Army, and the ultimate goal was to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops and dampen their morale.

Therefore, as soon as he led his troops to the Dashiqiao of the Wanzi River, he placed the 300 soldiers he brought with him in front of the formation, and the artillery he brought with the army was concentrated behind the mound on the right side of the Dashiqiao, and a simple artillery fortification was temporarily built there, and it was impossible to see his artillery formation if he stood on the opposite bank.
