The dancing knife jumped out of the crowd to kill Li Mao, Chen Chuan waved the order flag, the knife player erected a wooden card to protect the two main generals, and the head of the arrow team shouted: "Release the arrow." "Crossbow arrows poured down all around, and the skeletons of the soldiers who participated in the rebellion did not leave their bodies with swords and shields, and the other followers were in a hurry because of the incident, and most of them sneaked out of the camp, except for swords, bows and arrows, and shields, and a few iron shields were seized in Lu Ru's house.

The "skull face" is well-trained, and the police set up a shield, forming a tortoiseshell array, the sea is humid, and the bows and crossbows are not suitable, these veterans only recognize knives and axes, and after they go ashore to become Tang Guanjian, they saw the crossbow arrows like rain, and their hearts were very shocked, so they took up the shield and practiced into a tortoiseshell array, which was the first time it was used in actual combat.

The shields used in the "skull face" are all wooden cards, and a white-faced skeleton is painted with paint, which is terrifying and funny after forming a tortoiseshell array, and under the invasion of a dense drizzle of arrows, the "turtle" seems to have a layer of white hair.

The rebels without the protection of the "tortoise shell" fell in pieces, Chen Yangbi, who was charging with a knife, was first pierced through the heart by an arrow, and then fell to the ground and became a burrshoe.

When the archers suppressed the enemy, hundreds of pikemen poured in from all sides, and the position was set, and the camp general Chen Chuan danced the torch to signal the archers to stop shooting, and the four military flags waved, and the pikemen shouted and marched forward. "Tortoise shell" blocked the feather arrows, but could not prevent the spear, the formation of the skull face was not familiar, and there was no actual combat experience, something went wrong between the conversions, and was stabbed by the pikemen, the tortoise shell was broken, revealing the weakness in the abdomen, in fact, under the invasion of the rain of arrows, no matter how tight the shield array is, it is impossible for you to have no casualties, not to mention the "skull face" new drill, the "tortoiseshell array" that has not been baptized by the battle array?

The lightly wounded soldiers still insisted on fighting, and the seriously wounded and killed were well hidden in the formation, so as not to be peeped into by the enemy. There are not many people who shoot down, but the damage to morale is great, and even the blind can see that the rebels are gone, and they will definitely be defeated.

While the momentum was like a rainbow, and the defeat was like a mountain, Li Mao grabbed a spear and prepared to do it himself, but was pulled by Zhu Zhenyuan and persuaded: "For the general, the battle should be the eyes and ears of the whole army, the cornerstone, identify the general trend, and command the siblings to advance and retreat, without personally wearing it into battle." Li Mao also understood this truth, but he couldn't help but be infected by the shouting and killing around him, and when he heard him say this, he smiled awkwardly and didn't leave.

In the fierce battle, Shang Helai was hit by an arrow in the leg, and his left rib was stabbed by a spear, bleeding incessantly, and he knew that he could not escape death, but it aroused his incomparable courage. Shang Helai took off his heavy armor, picked up a battle axe, roared angrily, and jumped out of the crowd to kill Li Mao and Zhu Zhenyuan. Zhu Zhenyuan just "taught" Li Mao, and he was very proud in his heart, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw a shirtless man rise up with an axe, and the knife players he killed were killed one after another.

He wanted to withdraw, but he didn't dare, the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and he, the main general, fled without a fight, and it was very likely to frustrate the spirit of the whole army, and fight with a veteran of a hundred battles like "Skull Face", and the slightest negligence could lead to a complete loss.

Zhu Zhenyuan took a deep breath, snatched his customary broadsword from the hand of the attendant, and was about to step forward to meet the battle with a loud shout.

Li Mao grabbed him and persuaded: "For the general, you should open your eyes for the whole army when you are in battle, understand the general situation, and command your siblings to advance and retreat...... Zhu Zhenyuan's eyes widened and said: "When is it, still talking these nonsense." Li Mao smiled: "These words are not what I said. Zhu Zhenyuan said: "I said it, but at this time and that time, and now everyone is killed under their noses, so don't be sour here." ”

Li Mao laughed, picked up a spear on his toes, and threw it casually, just piercing Shang Helai's chest.

Shang He came out to kill the main general of the Chinese army, and Huang Renfan, the capture general, was shocked, and hurriedly led the crowd to rescue, before anyone arrived, Shang He came to be shot through the heart by Li Mao, and was stunned for a while, Zhu Zhenyuan saw it and scolded: "What are you doing, kill it." Huang Renfan suddenly woke up like a dream, and led the crowd to turn around and kill Ling Tian on the table.

Zhu Zhenyuan was shocked for a moment, returned the big knife to the attendant, and bowed to Li Mao: "A mortal with the naked eye, who does not know the general's methods, from now on, Zhu Zhenyuan swears to follow the general to the death and never abandon him." ”

Li Mao returned the salute with a smile and said: "Maokong has the courage of a horseman, and he can be called a general in battle, and the general is also." ”

When Zhu Zhenyuan heard this, he laughed embarrassedly twice with a dark face, and secretly scolded in his heart: "I pride myself on having the demeanor of a general in battle, but it turns out that I can't hold my breath so much, I can't get as good as him." ”

Under the fierce attack of the pikemen, the skeleton face was already scattered, Table Ling Tian was shot in the thigh, kneeling on one knee, holding a short axe still roaring again and again, fighting endlessly. The intuition of the veterans has always been very accurate, half of the wind and waves have come, but now this hurdle is no longer a step, once they see through life and death, they will have no fear, hold the heart of death, the remnants of the "skull face" are all incarnated like tigers and cheetahs, indomitable, fierce.

The wounded use their bodies as a meat shield to crash into the spear array of Rulin, covering their comrades to enter the spear formation, the "skeleton face" are accustomed to knives and axes, close hand-to-hand combat, far from being comparable to the pikemen, but one person crashes into the gun array, more than a dozen people will be killed, the pikemen are taken by their momentum, the formation begins to loosen, precarious, and there is a danger of collapse at any time. Li Mao knew that the defeat was terrible, drew his knife in his hand, and shouted into the battle, Zhu Zhenyuan picked up the big knife and led his own soldiers to attack bravely.

The "skull face" saw through life and death, and had turned into a killing machine, and the pro-army of the front battalion was inspired by the two main generals, and their morale was like a rainbow, and the two sharp spirits collided in one place, and sparks suddenly flew everywhere. The two strands of people are entangled together, like a pot of syrup that can't be stirred, at this moment, the personal virtuous and foolish, noble and low, the old and the young, are all zero, and only the constantly waving knife and axe can judge people.

Li Mao's mind was blank, he had forgotten all the short-inch tiger fist moves that he had studied hard for twenty years, and the strategies and tactics he had learned in the military books were also useless, and his body was completely at the mercy of instinct, just constantly waving the weapon in his hand to cut down the opponent and prevent him from being cut by the opponent. At the height of the fierce battle, Huang Renfandu, a group of swords led by the captor army, outflanked him from the flank, as if he had stabbed a dying man in the ribs, and the skeleton fell down tragically.

Li Mao's left arm could no longer be raised, I don't know if he was injured by a knife and axe, or an old injury, stiff and difficult to move, Zhu Zhenyuan's big knife flew in his hand, killing many people, and there were many wounds on his body, but fortunately they were not fatal injuries. Chen Chuan fell in the fierce battle, was repeatedly trampled by both the enemy and us, and his ribs, leg bones, and nose bones were broken.

Arrows, spears, knives, axes, and the veterans of a hundred battles withered away one by one, and the remaining seven or eight people gathered around Ling Tian, back to back, forming a simple defensive formation. Zhu Zhenyuan was drenched in sweat, his arm was so numb that he could no longer move the big knife, he threw the knife away, and asked Li Mao: "Catch it alive, or ......?"

Li Mao held his injured arm with one hand, took two breaths, looked at the table on the corpse pile, Ling Tian and the others, and said slowly, "Give them a decent one." "Table Ling Tian is rebellious and rebellious, and it is inevitable that he will die after being captured, and he will be tortured and humiliated before he dies, and it is undoubtedly a very humane thing to reward them with a pleasure at this moment.

Table Ling Tian nodded gratefully to Li Mao, struggled to stand up, discarded the sword and shield in his hand, and said with a smile: "Our fate is over in this life, let's be brothers in the next life." With that, he took out his dagger and plunged it into his chest, and the eight soldiers covered in blood saw him commit suicide, and suddenly laughed together, raised their knives and axes and slashed at him in one go, and then wiped their necks together after chopping the table Ling Tian into a pile of rotten meat. The pirates were afraid of ghosts and gods, and knew that they had sins in their lives, and they had no face to see ghosts and gods, so they had to chop their faces to make it difficult to distinguish between ghosts and gods.

The victorious side did not cheer for victory, and these people who fell yesterday were still their comrades, but in the blink of an eye, they became their own battlefield enemies, and no one could be happy under the sword.

After being silent for a while, Li Mao stepped forward with a knife to cut off Shang Helai's head, handed it to Huang Renfan and said: "The rebel Shang He Lai has already been given the head, and as long as the coercion puts down the knife and gun, he will not ask." Huang Renfan took the head, but hesitated, and looked at Zhu Zhenyuan to ask for an idea.

Zhu Zhenyuan originally wanted to take the opportunity of rebellion to plunder the city and make a small fortune, but Li Mao intervened, but now he will stop according to Li Mao's wishes, or fight for the welfare of his subordinates? After weighing it again and again, it was difficult to make up his mind, Li Mao knew what he wanted, so he said: "You soldiers have meritorious service in begging for thieves, and the rewards of the official family are not counted, and our city bureau and the gentry and business groups in the city will first take out 20,000 yuan to reward the meritorious soldiers." ”

The Xiying army is about 800 people, and each person can get 20 guan after 20,000 guan, although the number is not large, it is easy to get at his fingertips, and it is much more cost-effective than robbing it with notoriety.
