In a ravine somewhere west of Suizhou City, the six kings and seven brothers gathered the main leaders, waiting for Li Yifu to bring people into the mountains again to attack.

Wang Liu and Wang Qi are all the same, with a simple and resolute face, a pair of strong arms, and a tall and strong body. The ancestors of the family were poor peasants, and Wang Liu and Wang Qi can still grow so strong, you can imagine how hard their parents and grandparents worked.

Wang Qipestle had a red and black face, gritted his teeth and looked at the juniors of the Wang family who were crying because they were hungry, and shouted in disappointment: "Get out of the way." The brothers who come forward to work hard are two meals of gruel a day, and the others have one gruel a day at most, where can you get so much food! ”

Food is too tight, and Wang Liu and Wang Qi can only lead by example. This kind of life-and-death situation is still treated differently, and the team has long been disintegrated. Most of the grain grabbed from the small half of Jingnan Road was not transported back in time, but it was cheaper for the officials and soldiers, otherwise the situation of Wang Liuwang and the remnants of the army would definitely be much better.

Wang Liu saw that his children were dirty, and they were as hungry as firewood, but he still tried to smile, not wanting their father to worry, and his tears "brushed" and stayed. When Wang Qi came over, Wang Liu burst into tears, choked up and said to the old brother and the military advisor:

"We were really blind at the time, and we started in a hurry. In just a few dozen days, Fang La has fallen, Liu Chengdong led the army to beat me, I waited for defeat and defeat, and now I am here to survive. ”

"It turned out that it was not that the officers and soldiers could not fight, but that the officers and soldiers who could fight all went south. Liu Chengdong came back with 10,000 wounded soldiers, and beat us like pikas, who would have thought before?! ”

"Suizhou City is surrounded by mountains, but outside the mountains are the territory of Dazhou. In the southeast, the army of Jinghu and the two roads have blocked the road, and we can't run thousands of miles to Huai Mountain, so we can only fight to the death here! ”

"I'm sorry, brothers, we don't have a chance of winning. If the Great Zhou army insists on stationing in Suizhou City and does not leave, and then blocks several transportation arteries, we will all starve to death. ”

"I'm sorry, I've thought about taking you to surrender, but the officials, gentry, rich merchants, and warriors outside all want to exchange our heads for merit! Our parents, wives and children can't keep it, and it's hard to find a way to live and die...... One counts as one, let's fight with them for dog days! ”

Speaking of the back, Wang Liu, who was cruel to reality, was already in tears.

To be sure, Wang 6 and Wang Qi were less extreme rebels. Except for the slaughter of officials and gentry and wealthy merchants when they captured Suizhou City at the beginning, they reined in a lot after that.

Although it is mainly the idea of recruiting peace, it also proves that Wang Liu and Wang Qi have no intention of being enemies of the entire gentry class in their hearts.

In fact, most of the middle and high-level leaders already knew that their fate was doomed, and they could only be swept away by the official army, and the difference was only how long they persisted. Knowing that they will die and still fight, it is no wonder that tens of thousands of middle-aged and young people are confused all day long, just like the drought detailed in the book of Zhiwei.

Tens of thousands of people scattered along the mountain range were immersed in an atmosphere of despair.

It was almost noon, Li Yifu once again led the township soldiers to clean up the mountainous area, and Wang Liu and Wang Qi could only choose to face the battle.

At noon, Li Yifu led 1,000 people from his headquarters, together with 16,000 other villagers, relying on three mountain roads to set up a formation, and confronted tens of thousands of people from Wang Liu, Wang Qi.

On the side of the officers and troops, there was also an array of 1,000 people led by Li Yifu, and the other troops were in a mess. There is no way, it would be good for the untrained township soldiers to find their own position. Li Yifu has no control power, he can only give suggestions, and how far to do it can only depend on the individual commanders.

In accordance with Li Yifu's order, Zhang Zhanjun held an elongated red copper horn, stepped forward under the protection of several sword and shield bearers and the proprietor's personal guards, and shouted loudly for Wang Liu and Wang Qi to surrender.

The persuasion was fruitless. Since surrender is also death, why surrender?!

The early autumn wind blows across the mountains, and birds fly from the forest. Tens of thousands of people pounced on the 17,000 people led by Li Yifu!

Except for Li Yifu's headquarters in the middle, the battlefields in other places instantly fell into ...... Extreme chaos.

There were about ten village soldiers who were also in the same number, and they were rushed and defeated by the people of Wang 6 and Wang 7. The defeated villagers scattered and fled, or charged the other villagers.

After absorbing the lessons of the first time they entered the mountain, each village soldier adopted some methods, which were aimed at the sea of people tactics of Wang Liu and Wang Qi.

I saw that the villagers in some battle circles pushed out a lot of chicken carts, with inverted short spears sharpened after roasting, barely maintaining the battle formation.

There were also a few village soldiers who did not rot to the house, and after warning the routs to retreat from the flanks to no avail, they immediately killed indiscriminately with spears and short spears.

In more places, the situation is in complete chaos. The soldiers of the official army and the rebel army were completely mixed together, looking messy, but not many people died!

Li Yifu's side was a one-sided slaughter.

Counting the several seizures in Jiangnan and Jingnan Road, Li Yifu felt that he took out more than 200 pairs of iron armor at one time, which was nothing. The ironclad ration rate of the Great Zhou Township soldiers is very low, but Li Yifu grabbed it himself, and the civil officials above can't blame anything, right?

In addition, 500 pairs of bamboo paper armor, chain mail hidden in clothes, self-made "cloth face armor" by low-level soldiers, and leather armor made by the mountain people themselves...... In short, Li Yifu, a thousand people, actually made everyone wear armor!

Liu Decheng and Liu Sheng resisted the charge of the six kings and the seven troops on both flanks.

The latest batch of spears was more than three meters long, and the simple formation of pikemen and large shieldmen left thousands of poorly armed rebels helpless. The armoured archers in the back calmly poured a large number of diamond-shaped barbed arrows onto the heads of the unprotected rebel soldiers, and the arrows sliced through the skin, splattering large explicettes of blood and provoking a roar.

The defense in front of Li Yifu has been officially handed over to the Bauhinia Army, that is, the female soldiers.

Commanders such as Zheng Tian and Zhu Wuni wore oval iron helmets and kept running in the formation to boost the fighting spirit of the strong women.

"Look at these ragged men rushing over. The reason why you fled to Qinling is because you were killed by people like them! ”

"Your in-laws have been harmed by such people, your children have been harmed by these people, and some of you have been abused by these people!"

"The gun is flat, the shield is steady. Stab hard! Stab! Stab! ”

Despite a series of trainings, more than a dozen female soldiers vomited, fainted, or lost their grip on their weapons.

The level of the female soldiers who were carefully selected and raised with a lot of resources was roughly equivalent to the average level of the Qinling armed forces, but definitely exceeded most of the Great Zhou Xiang Army.

Zheng Tian took the time to run in front of the proprietor, and saw that the proprietor was not angry, but only gave a few simple and easy suggestions, and then put his mind at ease and ran back to the formation. For the first time to independently undertake a combat mission, what Zheng Tian was most afraid of was that he would be stopped halfway through the fight, in which case the female soldiers of the Bauhinia Army would be abolished.

Nor is it completely independent. After all, the female soldiers were limited, and they could only line up in a tight array to resist the charge of the rebel soldiers, and they could not arrange straight archers, and only a few dozen crossbowmen harvested the few hard stubbles in the rebel army.

The strength and courage are not as good as the men, so the female soldiers put special emphasis on cooperating with each other. Advance and retreat together, shoot together, and even hate to sword and shield hands together.

Seeing that the formation of the female soldiers was deformed severely, Wang Qi sent another 2,000 men and horses to rush over, and Yang Yingdong immediately ordered all the temporary straight archers composed of the proprietor's personal guards to shoot arrows. The selection conditions of the proprietor's personal guard are very strict, and if you pick a soldier at random, you can't say that you are an elite archer, and you can shoot arrows at a distance. It's rare and scary!

In the time of a pillar of incense, more than 2,500 arrows crossed the female soldiers' formation, killing the rebel soldiers who rushed over to cry wolf.

Zhang Zhanjun, who was beside Li Yifu, looked at the hundreds of people staggering on the ground not far away, and then looked at the rebel soldiers who were running away, and gasped. The tactics that fell from the sky are indeed very useful, and they are indeed very expensive!

Less than 200 people shoot arrows, and a pillar of incense shoots thousands, and there are really few people who can afford it!

A rain of arrows flew overhead, and the commanders of the female soldiers took the opportunity to withdraw the wounded female soldiers and asked all the strong women to retreat dozens of steps back and re-array.

A greasy fat man in tattered iron armor led more than 300 people and pushed dozens of chicken carts to the front of the female soldiers. Li Yifu's side was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and he was responsible for leading people to survive the two-pillar incense time when the female soldiers rested.

Wang Qi, who had experienced a large number of battle formations and defeats, really sent people over to sneak attack. Obviously, he looked down on the greasy fat man who was beaten and ran away with his butt covered last time, Wang Qi came up with a comprehensive impact, and only thought that Li Yifu was dizzy before letting the greasy fat man come to the front.

A miracle appeared, and the greasy fat man didn't coax!

The main reason is that the greasy fat man realizes that if he loses again, his whole family will really be lost.

Li Yifu singled out some prisoners who were willing to fight with the officers and soldiers and exchange their merits for freedom, and released thousands of seriously wounded rebels to scatter in all directions, spreading the news to cut off the back roads of those who surrendered to sincerity, and only then did he build a new army for the greasy and fat man.

Li Yifu even told the greasy fat man plainly that if he messed up again when he entered the mountain this time, he would personally send the greasy fat man's whole family to prison.

Thinking about the terrible consequences that would be caused by the defeat and retreat, the greasy fat man with red eyes gritted his teeth and looked at several escorts in the battle line, and shouted angrily that the retreater would die, and then together with a group of defectors, he killed the former brothers of the defectors.

The greasy fat man has the heart to fight to the death, and the defectors who have taken refuge in the official army have no way to retreat, and they actually kill with dignity.

Actual combat examples have proved that whether or not there is extreme pressure directly determines the actual combat strength of a weak army. The greasy fat man's bloody struggle drove the fighting spirit of all the township soldiers.

Seeing that the greasy fat man and the remaining more than 100 defectors were divided and surrounded, Li Yifu, who couldn't bear it, waved his hand and asked Yang Yingdong to take the proprietor's personal guards forward to relieve the siege.

The proprietor's personal guards are all dressed in chain mail inside, bamboo paper armor outside, and there are iron armor above the brand commander, and there are even more of them with armor. They are already qualified heavy armor soldiers, but they are holding maces, iron bones, lianga, iron spears, long-handled axes and other weapons to advance steadily, and when they see people, they will immediately kill a blood line......

Li Yifu himself saw that his scalp was numb!

"It seems that even in the mountains, the chicken convoy cannot fight alone, and it must cooperate with a certain number of combatable soldiers!" Li Yifu thought in his heart.

The greasy fat man picked up a life, and the female soldiers also rested.

The battlefield composed of three mountain roads and more than a dozen large and small mountains is still chaotic as a whole. But soon there will be a mutation!
