Chapter 257: Like a Mountain 2

After seeing the situation, Zhang Xianzhong and others set up camp, just two miles behind the hill. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This large area is saline, hard and strong, and it is very suitable for camping. The location is also good, the north to the Baitang River, the south to the Baima River is not far away, it is very convenient to get water and drink.

It was also early in the morning, and at noon, there was still an hour before noon, and the battalions were constantly arriving, and the men in charge were busy erecting tents and digging nests and trenches. Si Mo prepared to make a fire to make food, and went to the river to fetch water for the army and horses to drink.

The main men carried people on their shoulders, drove the animals, and constantly brought grain, grass and bean fodder, which were gathered in the old camp.

In general, the maintenance team of the camp is similar to that of the camp.

There are also many who are kept under the protection of horse teams, and they search for abandoned farms, tear down roofs, cut down trees, make short ladders, and so on.

The subordinates were busy, Zhang Xianzhong and others continued to observe, and the sentry rode to report that Suining was more desolate than Hongxian, between the two rivers, there were no people for more than ten miles from east to west, and there was nowhere to capture the villagers, only two big villages under the mountain.

Look at the stone plaques on the side of the road, one is called "Guanshan Collection", and the other is called "Dragon Head Collection". ”

Especially the "dragon head set", it seems that those townspeople drink water and eat anything, and they are all given from the village.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong and the others noticed these two powerful villages, but they didn't care.

The heroes have more than enough to defend the village, but when it comes to field battles, it is a group of people who will die.

Suining Township's courage is commendable, but as long as they are defeated in the wilderness, even if the remnants of the army flee into Longtouji, it is not enough.

The officers and soldiers who only dared to defend the fortress and the city did not pose any threat.

At noon, Ge Zuo and the camp set up a military formation.

More than 10,000 people and horses of the six battalions gathered in the front and back of the lake and mountain bag, mighty and mighty, all kinds of flags like the ocean, lined up in the direction of Longtou Mountain.

Basically, the battalions were infantry in front, horsemen in the back, and finally in cavalry. In the large camp area to the left and right and in the rear, there are also many horse teams roaring and galloping. They guarded the flanks and rear of the army, and reconnoitred and reported information on all sides.

The sun is getting more and more violent, and the weeds everywhere are depressed, and when there is no wind, they feel hot and dry.

"Wow, Wow, Wow......" One by one the blankets were untied, and the silver ingots with white flowers in the middle were poured out, which was so dazzling in the sun.

There are also war horses with divine horses, as well as wine and meat, beauties, etc., which are more and more attractive.

But the battalions were mobilizing, and a large number of golden silks, good horses, and even beautiful women were placed in front of the battle, and the elite horsemen of the battle told everyone that if the battle was won, these rich and beautiful women and horses would be used to reward, especially the warriors within.

They are still picking "leaders" to lead the charge.

"Which brothers are willing to be the leaders? As long as you come back alive, you will be trained into infantry, infantry will become horsemen, and horsemen will become elite cavalry. And the reward is one hundred taels of silver, and the war horse beauty is optional! ”

The elite cavalry agitated loudly, and scanned the infantry and horsemen with different expressions in front of the array with blazing eyes.

Sacrifice camps and left battles, and there must be mobilization in every battle, tempting soldiers with wealth and beauty. They will also choose the "leader", rush to the front when charging, and the brigade will follow. Where the "leader" rushes, the brigade will follow.

But the "leader" can only advance and not retreat, and if he does not retreat, the elite cavalry in the battle can behead him. If the "leader" is injured or killed, the "rangers" who are horsemen will immediately report and be replaced.

Generally, all the "leaders" have changed several times, and the front is still unable to attack, and the main general will withdraw his troops and take the initiative to retreat to preserve his strength. In official combat, the "leader" selected by each battalion will not exceed ten people.

At this time, in the camp position, piles of people were standing, the infantry in front and the horsemen in the rear were all looking at those beautiful horses with hot eyes.

They whispered to each other, in heaps, with little array, but marked by the Sentinel Flag. There are fifty people in charge of the sentry and three or five hundred people in charge of the sentry head, all of whom have flags, and when marching or fighting, the whole team and all the sentry follow the flag bearer.

Looking at it, Zhang Xianzhong's position is basically a red flag, one color of red, and the adjacent Geli Yanhe Yilong position is one color of black.

At present, it is very difficult for officers and soldiers to control the military positions with banners and drums, not to mention the rogues, and the simpler the better.

The flags of each battalion are basically the same color, or red or black or white or blue, and there are three more drums, the battalion gathers with snail horns, the battle is used with a big drum, and the last gong is sounded to collect the troops, which are very simple and direct.

"Which brothers are willing to be the leaders? You can take the wealth and beauty of the war horse! ”

The elite cavalry was still agitating, Zhang Xianzhong's son Aineng Qice was on the horse, and Wang Dingguo, Feng Shuangli and other generals followed, all looking at the soldiers and horses in front of them with expectant eyes.

The leader can be designated, but if they want to come out themselves, then the warrior spirit will definitely be different.

"Mom, I'm coming."

may think that there are many people on their side, a small number of villagers in the mountains ahead, and all kinds of rich and beautiful people and other temptations have the upper hand, and some people will come out.

But he was a horseman, like a monkey, lean, but very young, wrapped in a turban, with a gloomy and murderous face. But it was the horse that day that the horse fought on foot, and stabbed to death the infantry who was on the elite horseman. He was rewarded with a dead horseman's mount by the Eight Kings and became a member of the horsemen.

At this time, he stood up again, full of pride.

Looking at him, Ainengqi nodded appreciatively, and that day, he admired this person quite a lot.

"You're big, I'm here too." A rugged foot soldier also stepped forward.

"Just the townspeople, dare to block the way of Lao Tzu and others, tender mother, teach them to be people today!" Another good man came out proudly.

"That's right, a bunch of bad villagers, Lao Tzu can kill them with a single ba! Grandma is more than that, they don't want to live anymore! "There continue to be good men coming out proudly, or they are still raised. It is good to dedicate camps and so on, whether it is infantry, horsemen, or soldiers, they can all become leaders, and give the heroes who dare to fight a chance.

Under their encouragement, people continued to stand up proudly, all of them roaring proudly: "The head has a scar the size of a bowl, and after eighteen years, he will be a hero again." ”

"Brave and brave, dare to block the path of the righteous army, unforgivable!"

All the "leaders" were selected, and they were all tied to the plugs, and a bright back flag was inserted in the middle to prove their identity as "leaders".

However, from this moment on, unless they were killed or wounded, they were not allowed to retreat until they were killed.

Those who dare to retreat, the elite cavalry of the battle will mercilessly kill them on the spot.

After the "leaders" put on the back flag, they can enjoy the wine and meat, in the envious eyes of the people, they happily drink wine and eat meat, saying heroic words, many people's eyes are still on the golden silk, good horses or beauties in front of the battle.

More than a dozen beauties specially brought in attracted the most attention of the "leaders".

These beauties are all top-grade, all petite and weak, haggard and pitiful, almost comparable to the "Yangzhou Thin Horse", in the past, only the Eight Kings and others could enjoy it, and now they can too, as long as they can come back alive after the battle.

The wolf-like eyes of the "leaders" were cast, and those beauties just trembled, and their hearts were full of sadness.

Unfortunately, they met a thief, and now they are being taken captive as goods, and life and death are beyond their control.

Especially the horse soldier, his eyes were gloomy and fierce, and his gaze was full of resentment and cruelty, like a steel knife scraping, which made people shudder.

The "leader" was selected here, and Zhang Xianzhong and others arranged troops on the mountain bag and arranged the battalions.

The platoon each battalion negotiates, three mouths in front, two mouths for every two battalions, but the wall is not long, the total length is three or four hundred steps, this cold weapon era combat, one person occupies one step and is idle and squeezed, and when the general fight, people occupy two steps, and horses occupy four steps.

If the six battalions swarmed in a swarm, there would be no place to squeeze in, so the battalions decided to attack in waves, and they would continue to give full play to their crowd tactics.

For example, Zhang Xianzhong's side, he went north with a total of 500 elite cavalry, 500 horsemen, 1,000 infantry, 2,000 soldiers, all 4,000 people. At this time, his infantry battalion of 1,000 men attacked in two waves, and the horsemen were also lined up in two waves.

The elite cavalry supervised the battle in the rear, and generally did not fight, but at this time, some people were driven to carry the board and carry the ladder.

In other words, on Zhang Xianzhong's side alone, the infantry battalion had 500 to 700 people attacking in each wave.

Six battalions, including the Gezuo Sacrifice Camp, were 3,000 to 4,000 people at a time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the battalions were ready.

All the drama thieves gathered on the mountain bag, and in the arrangement, Zhang Xianzhong and Ge Li Yanhe Yilong played the east exit on the front. Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin hit the north exit. Liu Xiyao, the king of the reincarnation, and Lin Lin, the king of the troubled times, cultivated to fight the south entrance.

But at this time, not only the Eight Kings, Ge Liyan, Lao Huihui, Zuo Jin Wang and others are all there, standing tall here, you can see far away.

And under the mountain bag, in addition to the dense fine horses, there is a row of big drums, and the drummers are all bare-chested, showing their black-haired chests.

"Beat the drums!" He Yilong ordered in high spirits.

"Boom!"

A rousing war drum sounded, and it made people's hearts tremble.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of war drums makes people's hearts beat and spreads the four fields.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

From north to east to south, two hundred steps away around Longtou Mountain, the black thieves suddenly let out a hoarse howl, and then the first wave of thieves in front of them were all blood-red, brandishing weapons, and rushed to the hill not high in front.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

The thieves howled in the sky, and the one who walked in front was the "leader" who led the charge of the battalion headquarters, and the flags on their bodies were very eye-catching.

At the same time, the horses' hooves roared, smoke and dust billowed out, and some of the elite horsemen also left the large formation and copied the rear on both sides of the mountain.

The thieves were old in war, and although they let the infantry attack the low trenches in front of them, they thought that they could try to try it elsewhere, especially to see if they could climb up the hill from the back of the hill to attack.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

The tide of thieves just surged forward, forming a very wide arc, especially since three or four thousand men attacked the low wall of only three or four hundred paces, and there were not many people in the horizontal row, and they were stretched very long in depth.

Watch them howl excitedly, striding toward the earth ahead.

The crowd seems to be drowning everything.

Flags, black pressure like dark clouds.

Looking at this spectacular scenery, not only Zhang Xianzhong and other drama thieves were full of pride in their chests, but also the generals and righteous sons standing behind each of them couldn't help but feel like they were looking up to the sky and roaring.

Ai Nengqi led dozens of elite cavalry to supervise the battle, Liu Wenxiu led fifty cavalry to attack behind the mountain with the elite cavalry of the brother camp, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo stood side by side, and also rode the horse on the mountain.

Looking ahead, Li Dingguo just looked over, while Sun Kewang looked yearning and muttered: "When will our Lao Tzu be able to command so many soldiers and horses?" ”
