The answer is obvious – no.

Although the number of Ming military troops who went out to fight was small, the formation was like a hedgehog porcupine covered in long thorns, and the so-called "offensive and defensive" was nothing more than this.

In the African savannah, the porcupines are tense, and even the lions have to retreat. However, the White Lotus Cultists are obviously not as powerful as lions, at most they are just bluffing little flower cats - not to mention breaking through the defense of the porcupine's spikes, it would be good not to be eaten by the porcupine.

I saw that the short and concise mandarin duck formation composed of the soldiers of the Ming Wu Army, the defense was attacking, attacking and defending, and the elite of the White Lotus Sect, which was originally on the offensive, suppressed the past in the opposite direction, and the number of people who killed and injured the opponent reached 200 people in just one cup of tea.

Ji Qingwen was in front of the battle, and when he saw his brother's record, he was naturally overjoyed, but he was also afraid that these soldiers would be red-eyed and cause the battle line to loosen, so he hurriedly sounded the gong and instructed the sergeants in front of him to return to the battle immediately.

The military orders of the Ming Wu Army were strict, and when they heard the order of "Mingjin Withdraw Troops", although they were still in the midst of a great victory, they also obediently collected their troops and returned to the formation.

Ji Qingwen glanced at the officers and soldiers who had returned to the battle, and saw that not only did they not lose a single person, but not even those who were slightly injured, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he began to regret that he had withdrawn his troops too early and did not annihilate all the White Lotus Sect led by Xu Daoqing.

So Ji Qingwen temporarily thought of an idea and ordered the soldiers who had just rested in the formation to attack in formation, while the brothers who returned in triumph rested in place and took a wave-shaped offensive to continuously annihilate the living forces of the White Lotus Sect. As for Yang Zhan and Huang Degong, they worked a little harder and continued to lead the army to fight against their opponents.

In this way, Ji Qingwen's Ming Wu army would be able to start a continuous battle with the White Lotus Sect on the opposite side while their physical strength was effectively guaranteed. And although these White Lotus Sect disciples have firm beliefs and are physically strong, what is the matter with the opponents of the "Mandarin Duck Array" of the Ming Wu Army, after fighting for less than a moment, they have already suffered heavy losses and lost their morale, not to mention taking the initiative to attack, it is extremely difficult to hold the current front.

Seeing such a battle situation, Ji Qingwen was extremely proud in his heart, and shouted at Xu Daoqing, who was only twenty or thirty steps away from him: "Hey! Surnamed Xu, you have lost in my hands three or four times, haven't you lost enough? Where did you get the soldiers this time? I think it's just as vulnerable. If you want me to say, it's better for you to commit suicide, quickly reincarnate and become Sun Wukong, or go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to move the rescuers, otherwise where can you fight my Buddha? ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, citizens were popular in the world, and "Journey to the West" was one of the well-known ones, and Xu Daoqing naturally knew the story of Sun Wukong. Therefore, when he heard Ji Qingwen compare him to Sun Dasheng, who has great powers, he was quite proud, and he did not fall for his radical method.

But it's one thing to be successful or not, and it's another thing to win or not.

Xu Daoqing can still keep his mind calm now, but he has no way to take Ji Qingwen's Ming Wu Army - he originally thought that the strength of the Ming Wu Army was only in firearms, and as long as he fought with him in close combat, he would definitely be able to win the battle; Unexpectedly, the Ming Wu Army's ability in close combat was so strong, not only did the Mandarin Duck Formation have no flaws, but even the two fierce generals who led the army were also brave and difficult to be.

Xu Daoqing also tried to fight with Huang Degong to see if he could kill Huang Degong in front of the battle, so as to demoralize the enemy, show my fighting spirit, and reverse the decline in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Huang Degong, a man wielding an iron rod, was extremely difficult to deal with, although the iron rod in his hand was beaten in an orderly manner, but his strength was extremely strong, which made people feel an irresistible momentum from a foot away. At the first time, it was even more difficult for Xu Daoqing to parry, and after a few strokes, he quickly retreated.

In this way, Xu Daoqing had no choice but to restrain his White Lotus Sect disciples and White Lotus Sect disciples to support the attack on the opposite side. You must know that this decisive battle was the White Lotus Sect taking the initiative to challenge the imperial court, and it was also the White Lotus Sect that launched an attack on the official army first, but now it ended as if it was trying to defend.

In this way, after only half an hour, Ji Qingwen's White Lotus Sect team had already lost more than half of it, and it was completely at a disadvantage.

The situation is very good, and even Li Yuanyin, who has always been cautious and serious, said in Ji Qingwen's ear with a little excitement: "Lord Ji, it seems that the White Lotus Sect is a rabble after all, and it really can't afford Lord Ji's divine soldiers, it seems that victory is just around the corner, and it seems that it can be driven back to the empty city of Wenzhou." ”

On the contrary, Li Yan said: "No, now that the battle situation is undecided, I'm afraid it is difficult to call it a 'victory', and you still need to be careful first......

In a word, it is a prophecy.

Before Li Yan finished speaking, a battle report came, saying that the forbidden army of the right-wing Jingshi Battalion encountered a fierce attack by the White Lotus Sect Lady Army, and the battle situation was very unfavorable, and the battle line was about to collapse.

Ji Qingwen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the newspaper.

The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is slightly inferior, he knows it. The White Lotus Sect's Women's Army is quite strong in combat, and he also knows it. According to this situation, when Ji Qingwen was arrayed, he deliberately asked the forbidden army to retreat slightly, thinking that it would try to avoid fighting with the enemy army, and even if there was an engagement, it could support it for a little longer.

But he never expected that his side had not defeated the team of the White Lotus Sect led by Xu Daoqing, and the forbidden army that was temporarily handed over to the Shenji Battalion Wupin Zhen and commanded by Cheng Yi was almost defeated.

Ji Qingwen couldn't help but scolded: "It's a good thing, you actually live up to my kindness, you can lose to others, and you will lose to a group of women." It seems that this talent is ordinary and unbearable. ”

Li Yan said: "It may not be useless. Maybe it's the gap in combat power between the forbidden army and the women's army, which is bigger than the gap between the combat power of the White Lotus Sect and my Mingwu army...... The imperial court is poor and weak, and it is not a matter of one or two days, and there is no way to do it. ”

Li Yuanyin said: "This is all in the future, the forbidden army is about to be defeated now, and it is most important to quickly think of ways to maintain the battle line." Why don't you send reinforcements over to support it? ”

Ji Qingwen was still angry, and scolded: "Support? How to support? Now there are fewer enemies and more enemies, and with this little force, there is not a single soldier or soldier superfluous. Hum! I'm not Xu Hongru of the White Lotus Sect, I can scatter beans into soldiers, where did I get the soldiers and horses? You go and tell Cheng Yi to let him support him no matter what, if something happens to him, see how I ask the Son of Heaven to cut off his dog's head! ”

"Brother Ji, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas." Li Yan persuaded, "The soldiers are in danger, now is not the time to talk angrily." I don't think there is much climate for Xu Daoqing on the other side now, so it's better to divide three hundred troops, go to support for a while, and stabilize the formation first. ”

After listening to these words, Ji Qingwen calmed down a little and said, "It's okay, it's only like this now." ”

He thought for a moment and called out loudly: "Where is Huang Degong?" ”

Huang Degong had just rushed to kill for a while, and was returning to the formation to drink water and eat dry food, when he heard Ji Qingwen greet him, he hurriedly answered: "I'm here, the owner." ”

Ji Qingwen ordered: "You will take three hundred brothers, immediately run to the right, and go to reinforce those wrecks in the Jingshi camp." ”

Huang Degong was stunned for a moment and said, "Dongjia, I don't understand this." On our side, aren't the white pole soldiers who left the Beijing Division Camp still coming from Sichuan across Sichuan? Why didn't you ask the Sichuan army to reinforce nearby, but let us take a detour to reinforce the same way? ”

Ji Qingwen was in a bad mood, and when he heard that Huang Degong didn't immediately agree, he immediately reprimanded: "Huang Degong, why do you talk so much?" The white pole soldiers are the backbone of the whole army, and they cannot be moved lightly, and if they are moved, the entire formation will be shaken, do you understand? ”

Huang Degong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "There's nothing you don't understand, what the owner says is always good." But today I took the lead again, led the troops again, and now I have to go to reinforce others, it's really too hard, don't forget my benefits when the time comes! ”

Ji Qingwen said impatiently: "I know, I know, what is so much nonsense?" Tell you, it was Zhou Xiuying, the saintess of the White Lotus Sect, who attacked the forbidden army, and you fought with her, so you have to be careful with me. ”
