The horse's hooves stomped on the ground, the voice was dull, and there should still be some way to the battlefield, but Zhang Ling was already stunned, and finally used a miniature circle array to block the infantry of the rogues, but now the cavalry came.

What to do?

Zhang Ling hid in a miniature circle formation, he couldn't see the situation outside at all, he judged the distance of the cavalry according to the sound, although he was anxious, but he was not chaotic, and his mind was hovering rapidly.

The "general......" pro-soldiers really couldn't help it, once the cavalry of the rogue approached, without the assistance of bows and arrows, these shields could not block the cavalry impact at all.

There were no long-range strikes with bows and arrows, no carts blocking the road, and in front of the cavalry, the infantry could only be slaughtered......

Zhang Ling muttered silently in his mouth, but there was no way for a while, he glared at the pro-soldier, and suddenly saw the pikeman curled up in the corner, and his heart moved, yes, the spear!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, stroked his long beard, and said lightly: "Order, pikemen prepare, stretch the spear out of the shield wall, and point the tip at the cavalry of the rogues." ”

The use of spears against galloping horses has been used before, once the cavalry accelerates, it is difficult to temporarily slow down, even if the cavalry in front can stop, or turn to avoid the spear, the cavalry behind cannot see, can only watch the sharp spear......

Without horses, cavalry is like a toothless tiger, inferior to infantry.

Li Zicheng had already heard the muffled sound of horses' hooves, it must be the cavalry of the second battalion, calculate the time, they should also arrive. As long as the cavalry rushed to the battlefield and directly smashed the shield wall with their horses, the Ming army would definitely not be able to issue arrows in such a small space.

He Mi suddenly shouted: "Governor, spear, the Ming army will spread the spear outside the formation, what is this going to do?" ”

"Spear?" Li Zicheng picked up the binoculars, took a closer look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "This Zhang Ling, it's really not simple, in such a desperate situation, I still came up with a way to use a spear to deal with cavalry...... It's going to be desperate. ”

"Governor, what should I do?"

"Order, let the cavalry slow down, advance slowly, and after entering the battlefield, don't attack yet!" Li Zicheng didn't think of a way to deal with the spear for the time being, but as long as the Ming army was surrounded by the cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army, he couldn't run if he wanted to.

After receiving the order, Li Guo immediately slowed down his horse, slowly crossed the remaining veins in the north of Bishan, and appeared in the northwest direction of the Ming army.

Zhang Ling judged from the sound of horses' hooves that the cavalry of the Liukou had slowed down, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, if the cavalry did not attack, what should they do? Do you want to spend the night in this miniature circle?

The Liukou can attack at any time, but the Ming army can only defend passively, and they can't even shoot bows and arrows, and the stalemate continues, which is extremely unfavorable to the Ming army......

Zhang Ling encountered a problem again, but the cavalry of the Liukou was blocked, and he should not attack for the time being, he had time, as long as he left the battlefield and returned to the camp, he could rely on the camp to block the cavalry.

The camp is less than 2,000 steps away from the battlefield, but the cavalry of the Liukou is eyeing the tiger, and the distance of 2,000 steps is the moat, and if you want to cross it, you must pay a huge price.

Zhang Ling suddenly thought that since the miniature circle formation was still there, it could move neatly and slowly approach the camp, even if there were casualties at the moment of entering the camp, the number of people would not be too many.

The decision was made, and Zhang Ling immediately ordered all the soldiers to maintain their formation and slowly move closer to the camp.

Li Zicheng sneered slightly, at this time, do you still want to resist stubbornly? He immediately sent a soldier of a thousand households to the Song Ministry of the Ming Army to take the camp of the Ming army first.

The Ming army basically poured out of the nest, and the soldiers who stayed in the camp were less than a hundred households, and the Mandate of Heaven army used the advantage of the rifle in the range to shoot the Ming army guarding the periphery, and then approached the camp, removed the fence, pulled out the horse pile, swept away the thistle, and then served the Ming army inside.

Zhang Ling heard that the camp had been lost, and his heart was half cold, for today's plan, he had to retreat to Longdong Pass, but Longdong Pass was dozens of miles away, did the Ming army have this opportunity?

At this time, the Heavenly Mandate Army, which had originally gone to Bishan, also returned to the battlefield, plus cavalry, and surrounded the Ming army on three sides.

Zhang Ling saw that there was no hope of escaping, so he gave up the operation.

The battlefield is in a stalemate, and the Ming army is like countless hedgehogs, so that the Mandate of Heaven Army has no way to speak, but the Ming army itself is trapped, let alone counterattack, and if you want to escape, there is no way.

Li Zicheng also couldn't, he personally came to the forefront of the battlefield, wanted to check closely, maybe he could find the flaws of the Ming army, but Zhang Ling's defense seemed to be invulnerable, the cavalry could not attack, and the bullets of the rifle would not bend, if the mountain cannon was used, it might have an effect.

However, to shell the Ming army's miniature circular array, even if it is 100 shots and 100 hits, it will require thousands of flowering shells, and the accuracy of the flowering shells cannot reach this level at all, and the hit rate can reach is definitely not something that the artillery can control.

The setting sun gradually sank in the west, dyeing the top of the distant mountain into a blood-red color, and then fell down sharply, leaving only a small half of the face, and even the mountainside was dyed red.

He Xiaomi was a little anxious, "Governor, it's getting dark, will the Ming army take advantage of the darkness to escape?" ”

"Running away in the dark?" Li Zicheng was indeed worried about this, and when he heard He Xiaomi's words, his heart suddenly moved, and he said hurriedly: "Xiaomi, what did you say just now?" ”

He Xiaomi was startled and hurriedly said, "Subordinate...... The subordinates said that the Ming army might take advantage of the darkness to escape......"

"No, the previous sentence!"

"My subordinates said it was going to be dark!"

"Yes, that's it," Li Zicheng smiled, patted He Xiaomi's shoulder, and said, "It's dark?" It's dark! ”

He Xiaomi was puzzled, "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

"Xiaomi, you have made a great achievement," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and did not explain, "Xiaomi, order all departments to take turns for dinner, after dinner, it should be dark!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi was puzzled, but since the Metropolitan Governor had commanded, there must be his reasoning, and the Metropolitan Governor was a person who was a god.

The various departments of the Mandate of Heaven Army, divided into half of the personnel, finished eating, and there was some dry food, and the remaining half closely monitored the Ming army, that is, the people who ate, and their eyes also glanced at the Ming army from time to time, lest the cooked duck fly!

Zhang Ling heard that Liukou was having dinner, and he also instructed the soldiers, just eat a few mouthfuls of dry food with water, so as to fill their stomachs, and if there is an opportunity, they can run away while it is dark.

After nightfall, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army had already eaten a full meal, and although the Ming army was mostly full, at least they would not starve.

The cavalry of the second battalion shook in front of the Ming army from time to time, although there was no speed, but the sound of the horses' hooves, in this silent night, the new special mad, Zhang Ling did not know what tricks the rogue was playing, so he had to order to go down, and all formations were on guard, especially the pikemen, never slack off, and be ready for battle at any time.

He was thinking of a way to get out, and the rogues were not stupid, they would definitely be thinking about ways to attack.

However, surrounded by the same number of rogues, unable to fight, unable to walk, Zhang Ling was very aggrieved, and when he ate fried rice, he unconsciously sprinkled more than half of it from the corner of his mouth.

The two sides seemed to have discussed it, but neither of them lit the torches, and the battlefield was only dim moonlight.

The infantry of the Mandate of Heaven, perhaps standing for a long time and having no chance to attack, began to slack off, and on the west side of the encirclement, there were soldiers sitting down to rest, at first one or two, and then more and more, just like the dinner just now, the general soldiers were on duty, and the ordinary soldiers were lying on the ground to rest.

The Ming army is the one who sees it, and there is only envy, jealousy, and hatred, the Mandate of Heaven army is the attacking side, and it has the right to choose to attack or rest, while they are the defensive side, and they can only wait passively.

The moonlight is unknown, and once a person lies on the ground, it is difficult to see clearly from a distance.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army lay on the ground for a short while, then turned over and slowly crawled back, three hundred paces away, convinced that they were out of sight of the Ming army, before they got up and returned to the camp lightly.

They dropped their rifles, rummaged through the camp, and then one of them picked up a small round ball, and went out again, three hundred paces away from the Ming army, they immediately crouched down and crawled forward.

Three hundred paces this distance, if it was a daytime run in the training ground, it would be less than half a time to soak in urine, but in order not to alarm the Ming army, they just climbed half a pillar of incense.

Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy, and the attention of the Ming army was attracted by Li Guobu's cavalry, and they did not even find them.

The two soldiers in the front, crawling and crawling, unconsciously approached the miniature circle formation on the periphery of the Ming army, the two were overjoyed, looked at each other, although they couldn't see each other's eyes clearly, but they both nodded, at this moment, the best way to contact each other is to induce.

Almost simultaneously, the two twisted their fires and lit the fuse.

"Snort...... Sneer......"

After the lead caught fire, it made a slight sound, accompanied by the smell of sulfur, and the Ming soldiers in the miniature circle array, I don't know if they smelled the smell, or they had an induction, "What smell?" Brother, do you smell it? ”

"Ah...... What ......"

Before the other Ming soldier could understand it, there was a black object above his head, which rushed in from the outside, fell to the ground, and made a "pop" sound, and then there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he quickly ran away......

"No, enemy attack ......" he only had time to exclaim, the spark on the black object was gone, and it seemed to have scurried into the unknown black object.

The Ming army was familiar with firearms, all kinds of firearms, artillery, and gunpowder packs, the largest of which was called "10,000 enemies", weighing 40 catties, even if they had not seen it, they had heard of it.

Seeing the rapidly moving Mars, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his shield and wanted to escape.

However, it was already too late.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, the fire was in the sky, and then there was a puff of black smoke, accompanied by a pungent smell of sulfur, the two soldiers who had just spoken were completely silent, and in the short silence, the outer shield walls slowly scattered, followed by a heart-rending scream, piercing the darkness, and reaching Zhang Ling's ears.

Just when Zhang Ling was in doubt, there was another loud bang, and the same story was played out in the dark......

Li Zicheng frowned, his face gloomy, and he seemed to smell the pungent smell that came with the wind.

The cavalry cheered, although they did not directly participate in the battle, but they diverted the attention of the Ming army, allowing the infantry brothers to easily succeed, and when counting the officers, they also had their share.
