Then, when the particularly rapid and bloody grappling and engagement, as the temporarily retreating enemy broke away again, Zhang Dong was supported and dragged back to the array, the leather armor on his body had been cut several times in different shades, and the bloody wounds and rolled flesh were exposed;

A broken iron-tipped spearhead pierced through the left side of his lower abdomen and pierced the flesh under the coarse cloth robe and ramie liner, leaving a long wound that was bloody and sticky. But compared to the others who attacked, it was already a kind of luck to be dragged back alive

"Is this a hard stubble? . . . I'm afraid it's not where the old camp and elite soldiers of the grass thieves are."

It's just that seeing the frustration of the forward, Li Hanzhi, who swept the formation, was not angry but happy.

"Sons kicked it for me... And all things ceased. ”

The cavalry gathered at his side suddenly accelerated again with a thunderous roar, and swept towards the side of the grass thief army, which was especially fighting steadily, like a wind and a wave.

But then, these experienced horse athletes did not rush to break the formation at the first time, but kept galloping and wandering along the side; Successively crushed and slashed, trampled and expelled the hordes of grass thieves who had tried to get closer.

While constantly lubricating the knives, guns, and horses' hooves with their flesh and blood, gradually warming up and accelerating; and is constantly driving the rout in disguise, to impact the tight array of those grass thieves, in order to create corresponding flaws and opportunities.

At this time, Zhang Dong, who was simply bandaged and stood up again, also returned to the second array in the front row, took over a spear shaft that was soaked in blood and water, and turned brown, rubbed it hard with his sleeve and clamped it under his armpit, and then stepped against the heel of the person in the front row, and tightened the lower plate steadily.

Then he heard the whistle blow again behind him, and someone shouted a new command;

"Pay attention to the six and ten defenses against the ride."

"The head of the row changed the equipment, and the back row stabilized."

Zhang Dong couldn't help but quickly lower the spear shaft that had been raised over his shoulder, and the rear end poked hard against the mud, and the front end went straight to the edge of the wide card that was diagonally supported by the squatting leader; In a few breaths, he had already prepared for the onslaught, and since then he has become one of the many high-level and high-level horse rejection formations.

However, through the people projecting through the gaps, running and galloping, the horse teams of these officers and soldiers were still flickering a shot, and once again seven or eight paces away from the close range of horses and dust interspersed; and let many foot formations with swords and spears come over; Once again, it was in a battle with the array of the Taiping army, chopping, slashing, poking and stabbing.

Soon Zhang Dong became a member of the jagged front that stood at the forefront and stood spears against stabs, because those sword players who were squatting at the head of the line had already taken advantage of the momentum to roll on the ground, and under the cover of the spear shaft, they swung their horizontal knives or danced light narrow swords, stabbing and slashing at the lower three roads of the enemy in front of them.

As the spear-wielding fire commander Zhang Dong, he doesn't have to deliberately face any specific opponent, as long as he can stabilize the lower plate and keep the tip of the spear upright, he will have his own enemies who are constantly pushed forward and backward and hit the bloody spear tip; Then he had to move the shaft of his spear with great agility, and pull it out of the pierced chest and abdomen arms in front of him, and move on to another target before he fell.

However, from time to time, there are still people who are thrown by the dying weapons of the on-facing enemy, and it is impossible to avoid throwing them to death and smashing them, and Zhang Dong and the spearmen in the front row can only rely on the strength and blood courage of encouraging each other, and persist in the sacrifice of constantly not coming forward.

"The gun cage array and the rolling knife, isn't this the usual killing of Guilin's soldiers?"

Then he led his troops to sweep Li Hanzhi, and he was surprised by new discoveries.

"Now there are actually Long March athletes who have thrown in for thieves?"

You must know that Pang (Xun) Tietou was famous for breaking through most of the world by virtue of this; Now under the command of his benefactor Zhuge Envoy, there is also a group of old Guilin soldiers who follow him anyway and list them as the order of the tooth army, and all the rewards are twice as generous as those of other departments.

So he became even more excited, what could be more than kicking these battle formations that were also Guilin soldiers, and better reflect the ability and blood of these sons under his command to fight bravely. He was waiting to be instructed to add a boost to the situation, and to add fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, the golden drum sounded loudly on the middle gate, one of the three gates in the east of the city, and the city gate opened and killed a cavalry of the righteous army like an arrow; I saw that each of them was dressed in scales and iron and wore iron helmets, and suddenly spread out like the wind in the roar. And the grass thieves who were fighting in the camp also seemed to be inspired and regained their strength from the decline, and the officers and soldiers on the file side were once again pushed back by more than a dozen steps.

"A horseman, a horseman"

Seeing this scene, Li Hanzhi's somewhat hideous and excited face suddenly became gloomy.

"Those people swore to me that there were only a lot of foot soldiers and boat masters among the grass thieves. Where did this come from? ”

As far as he knew, hadn't the horsemen among the grass thieves always been very rare, and most of them had gone with the thief leader Huang Rebellion? And he was also able to obtain a place under the command of Zhuge Shuang, who was known as the "Xuzhou Envoy", because of the five or six hundred cavalry brought out by Huaizhou, Henan, and the self-recruited township party.

Although these horsemen were not very numerous, they quickly dismounted and lined up, and picked up the crossbows and repeaters from their saddles and fired at them. But Li Hanzhi gasped even more; The grass thieves who can ride horses and use crossbows are placed in the grass thief army in the past, and what an elite they are. How many such grass thieves have gathered in this Tanzhou city.

Did he meet the team of Shang Rang, the deputy commander of the rebel army, or the other military envoys who were brave and brave under their subordinates. For the first time, some hesitation and wavering thoughts rose in his mind.

"Where is Yang Shihou?"

Immediately, Li Hanzhi turned around and drank.

"The subordinates are here."

A thin, muscular general who straddled a horse and stood as tall as a gun replied

"I'm going to stop the enemy for a moment."

"Ordered."

The general named Yang Shihou replied loudly, and immediately turned his horse and shouted to separate the last hundred horsemen from Li Hanzhi's side, and rushed straight towards the formation of these grass thief horsemen with arrows like rain, but this was not an easy matter.

While these light crossbows and repeaters were not powerful enough to penetrate most people's armor, their crotch-mounted mounts were not so lucky; As long as there are a few sticks in the head, face, and chest, they have to scream and fall to the ground with the rider, or cry out in pain and fear and raise their hooves to shake the rider out of the smoke and dust behind them.

Then, he was smashed into the formation by the remaining cavalry led by Yang Shihou; But unexpectedly, they did not scatter and rout at all, but with the cover and cover of their mounts, after a group of people turned on their backs, they were stopped by the momentum of this official army, and in turn outflanked them.

At this time, Li Hanzhi also personally led his men and horses to join the charge and kill the remnants of the camp, and had no time to take care of anything else. After a moment of galloping in the lead, he had already seen a flaw between the spears that could not be substituted, shouted loudly and crashed into it, and immediately kicked over and trampled on several people in front of him and opened a gap.

Then more officers and cavalry roared and galloped in, which was a heavy blow to the Taiping soldiers who were struggling to support the battalion; Under the wave of horsepower rushing, pushing, kicking, and trampling, they could no longer maintain their display, and the officer cavalry, which was quickly broken in, was chiseled diagonally in the center and scattered left and right.

At this time, it was easy to clean up the rebel cavalry of the enemy in front of them, and they were able to catch up and once again cover the retreating rear team of the official army with a rain of arrows, and also restrained and hindered the further pursuit and defeat of the official cavalry.

。。。。。。

At the same time, on the tower of the city that had just hit the gate, in the rumbling drums, there were figures running back and forth.

"Report, the first battalion on the left has left the new north gate,"

"The second battalion on the right and the latter battalion are assembled at Xiaowumen and are ready to standby."

"There is a flag reply, the provisional 1st and 2nd battalions on the south bank are rushing in."

Zhou Huai'an, who was sitting in a conspicuous position under the big sword, and Zhou Huai'an, who personally boosted morale, was also watching the battle, and at the same time, he was also listening to the eight ways to receive the news, and it became the content of the specific orders to be conveyed.

Because most of the troops were previously deployed on the periphery and arranged in the city for subsequent purges; Therefore, the outskirts of the city, which were used to reorganize those rebel armies of other tribes, became a certain state of emptiness and weakness in a sense after the officers and troops who broke through the defense line entered.

Therefore, he could only send the nearest teaching brigade and a regiment of pro-escort troops on standby, and give priority to the detachment to entangle and delay the momentum of the other party; In order to buy time for the assembly of follow-up troops and their entry into the battlefield. Therefore, now all he has around him is the drum corps and half of the honor guard used to give orders. It can be said that his own defense is the weakest stage, but how much of the bonus of the city wall itself is not too much of a problem after guarding the stairs up and down.

And Zhou Huai'an can only try to use his scanning ability to the maximum limit, grasp some changes and details in the battlefield, and then pass them on to the troops in the city who are fighting or rushing to support through banners, as a means of coping in the battle. In a sense, this is also a kind of "micro-operation" with a high latency rate.

Although the battalion of the Taiping Army that insisted on the city was scattered, the directly subordinate regiments and teaching brigades that came to support them also turned to the defensive and inferior in front of the infantry of the officer brigade that hastily turned over; But Zhou Huai'an, who had been tense and nervous, breathed a sigh of relief. Because at least several battalion-sized teams were already rushing out of the city walls or through the gates of the city at the edge of the sensing range.

Moreover, under the orders of the city, they did not rush into the battlefield as if they were in a hurry, but reorganized within a distance of an arrow, and formed a formation of gradual pressure and advance in front of tightness and loosening.

As a result, Li Hanzhi, who had just dispersed the last formation in the camp on the outskirts of the city, had already felt some kind of bad meaning in the air. Because in front of him, more whole formations of grass thieves appeared, holding bright swords and guns and holding bows and crossbows and began to fire, and the soldiers who covered the scattered grass thieves easily contained them.

In the following time, no matter how the officers and subordinates under his command rushed left and right, it seemed that there were always endless grass thieves and endless arrays; As the sun rose and the shadows shortened, those grass thieves seemed to gather endlessly, and again and again they broke them down, and the scattered soldiers gathered and regrouped.

Rao is Li Hanzhi has always been brave and invincible in the battle array, and he can't help but gradually feel the sluggishness and stagnation caused by a certain fatigue and sleepiness; It was only at this moment in the battle that he suddenly felt a certain strong uneasiness and retreat.

Obviously, he was bought from the Marshal's Mansion and the good students were cheated. What I have encountered now is no longer the grass thief in the military intelligence mansion text, where the three miscellaneous military orders are still half-heartedly trying to turn against the water; It's an army of stubborn and orderly grass thieves;

But now that he can no longer grab more victories, and he can't drive the rout army to attack and capture the city as expected, he doesn't want to take it away to preserve his strength, and when will he wait?

Thanks to the students who subscribed to the genuine version, my manuscript fee this month finally broke 1K; It's a shame to say, compared to those who often hold a few K, tens of thousands

The newcomers really have a sense of dislocation of the tears of the times;

But in any case, this little bit of income can still make me try a little more in front of the two kittens; As a fifth-tier small city

office workers with a salary of less than 2K can only rely on the help of their families to support their families; At the beginning, they also paid a price and paid for the ideals and original intentions that I adhered to

That's why I can have this work that expresses my imagination and resonates and recognizes with everyone as a platform. It is better to be able to do a little more for the family

It's more enjoyable.

In the final analysis, I prefer to ponder the text and plot, and have obsessive-compulsive disorder in terms of rationality; But under family life and responsibilities, there is nothing like anything else

Full-time writers are like dozens of chapters every day, and they are reluctant to follow the crowd and try their best to make up the number of words for the sake of the full attendance award; Write a book of saliva

Count to cope with the past.

Therefore, in order to take into account the quality, it is the norm to change every day, and it will be changed by chance. At most, when the state is good, the number of words in a single chapter increases, which is really good for everyone

Sorry, but if you're impatient, save for a while and subscribe.

I am really grateful to the dozen editors who have changed since the beginning of the creation to the birth of the world, especially those who are willing to accept me to change my style and path to the book

The editor-in-chief is talking nonsense, my lord. I really want to be bought out again, so I can write it down in one breath with peace of mind.
