"The beggar thief has arrived, prepare for battle, and quickly set up the formation". Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Tang Jue shouted.

Most of the soldiers in Yitun are well-trained elites. Set up the formation without hurrying. The battle formation of the warriors is five rows, one row is heavily armed sword and shield soldiers, generally wearing armor and protective helmets. The second platoon is a spear and shield soldier, usually wearing half-body armor and helmets. Three platoons were spearmen, with only helmets and no armor. The fourth platoon and the fifth platoon were also spearmen. There were no helmets and no leather armor. The helmet is an improved helmet by Liu Ye in imitation of the felt hat of the Song and Ming dynasties, mainly to prevent the enemy's light arrow throwing. On the two wings of the battle array, there was a group of light soldiers, who were unarmoured, mainly lightly armed sword and shield soldiers. Responsible for the defense of the two wings, as well as the pursuit of enemy forces"

Speaking of the beggar army, everyone may not be familiar with it. But if you want to say that its brother after a thousand years, everyone should know it very well!

Unlike natural disasters, which were the cause of the birth of the Liukou in the late Ming Dynasty, the generation of the beggar army was mainly a man-made disaster. The main body of the beggar army is composed of displaced people born from the war and the ravages of the Zhuhu tribe. At the same time, it is mixed with a large number of rangers (in ancient times≈ gangsters, underworlds), bandits, and green forest heroes. and a small number of Hu people whose tribes were exterminated. Of course, there are also villages, poor people who were coerced after Wubao was broken by the beggar army.

The beggars' equipment was very rudimentary, and their weapons were varied, but most of them were wooden weapons. Many had a sharpened wooden stick in their hands. Only a handful of boss-level ones have iron weapons. And mostly in tatters. As for the armor, let's not talk about it! Formation, battlefield discipline, beggar army has never used this. Even Tang Jue felt that he could defeat this rabble by relying on his own soldiers.

On the nameless hills

"The leader of this group of beggar thieves still seems to be quite smart, first following with light horses, and then slowly following with the main force. Although most of his subordinates are yellow and thin, their spirit, fighting spirit, and morale are all excellent, and this thief does have some talents," Liu Ye said with a monocular in his hand.

This monocular is one of the black technologies brought by the traverser Liu Ye. However, Liu Ye forgot how to calculate the focal length. As a result, Liu Ye wasted more than a dozen pieces of water jade to complete the production. Although it is only a quadruple mirror, the cost is more than 100,000 yuan.

"It is precisely because this thief is not a mediocre man that he must die." Wang Yan, the arbiter sitting on Liu Ye's right, said quietly.

Liu Ye turned his head and glanced at Wang Yan. Xindao: I understand the truth, but why does it feel weird to say it from your mouth? You are also a member of the Langya Wang clan. Although it is only a side line, it can be regarded as a famous family, how can you say death at every turn. The Langya Wang family has been a Confucian family for generations. How can you cultivate a descendant of the Legalists?

"Father Ji, borrow a clairvoyant mirror and a certain view". After the creation of the monocular, many people were more interested. Of course, it also includes the "little Gongjin" Liu Zixi in front of him. However, because telescopes are more precious. Liu Ye usually carries it with him. Seldom take it out. Now that there is a chance, of course Liu Ming is going to have a good time.

looked at Liu Ming, who was curiously playing with the telescope like a child. Liu Ye recalled the scene when he first came into contact with a magnifying glass when he was a child.

It has been three years since he crossed over, and Liu Ye found that he had gradually begun to forget his life before the crossing, and many people and things had gradually disappeared from his mind. Maybe in a few years, he will completely become "Liu Ye of the Eastern Jin Dynasty".

"Father Ji, look at it, horse, war horse" Liu Ming said loudly as if he had found something.

Liu Ye hurriedly took the monocular and looked in the direction Liu Ming pointed.

At the back of the beggar army there were twenty or thirty cavalrymen. And they were not pack horses, but real war horses.

"Hurry up, Uncle Meng, you quickly send someone to inform Liu Cun, Luan Jie, and Huo Ying. Tell them that these war horses, Lao Tzu wants them," Liu Ye said excitedly.

"No," Luan replied fiercely.

As a traverser, how could you not know the importance of cavalry, especially light cavalry?

In the troubled north, Liu Ye did not lack a source of cavalry soldiers who could get on the horse and cut people. But Liu Ye lacked horse sources and did not have enough war horses. War horses are different from ordinary horses. They are all specially trained. Generally, only two or three out of ten can become war horses, and the rest are pack horses. As for riding a pack horse on the battlefield, it is definitely an act of seeking death. These pack horses are easily frightened. Once the horse is shocked. I guess these pack horses will be able to disrupt your own formation.

Liu Ye didn't expect that the beggar army he was ambushing had twenty or thirty war horses. I'm so happy. I can't wait to run over and kiss this thief now.

The ambush site, in the beggar army.

The leader Dahan is now in a bit of a dilemma. He traveled north and south for more than ten years without being wiped out. It's not just luck. His eyesight is still good.

The enemy troops in front of him were not only well-equipped, but everyone was stronger and more powerful, and there was no malnutrition on their faces at all. Not only that, but everyone's eyes were not only not panicked, but full of disdain. The most important thing is that they are actually in formation. Years of experience, as well as his instincts, told him not to fight this battle. It's a pity that if he quits now, his prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. There is even a risk that the team will fall apart. This is absolutely unacceptable to him. In his heart, he had already greeted the eighteenth generation of women from the ancestors of the Zhang brothers. Now it can only be ordered with a hard head. Quietly praying to the One God to bless himself. I hope these sixty or seventy people are all like that.

"Pass the king's order, defeat this guard, reward for five days, and let go of the big food within five days. In addition, behead one level, reward five buckets of grain. Brothers, give a certain one," yelled a skinny little leader. As the enemy escalated, so did the bounty.

After saying that, the little leader took the lead and rushed forward. The high bounty stimulates the beggars. They joined the beggars, either voluntarily or by force. Isn't it just for a bite to eat?

The first to rush into battle were the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as the new marginalized people. They are at the bottom of the beggar army. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. It is cannon fodder among cannon fodder, but they still rush over without hesitation, for the ethereal reward.

Yu Yu is the commander of the sword and shield soldiers. Because when there is a war, when you are excited, you even cut down your own people. That's why everyone likes to call him a madman. Before the war, Tang Jue, the head of Yituntun, had hinted at him. If he behaves well this time. After the expansion, he will be able to be promoted to the rank of captain. For this battle, Yu Yu is full of energy.

Yu Yu waved his hand and directly killed the white-haired old man in front of him who had just blocked his teammate's spear, revealing his flaws. Lao Suo's body suddenly became weak, and he fell weakly. Seeing Lao Su fall, a boy of more than ten years old behind him pounced. The immature yellow face was full of sadness.

But Yu Yu didn't let go of the sad boy in front of him. A backhand shield struck the boy's heavenly spirit cover. The boy fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and died. Such scenes repeatedly happened in front of the battle in Eitun. This can no longer be considered a war. Rather, it was a massacre. On the battlefield, there is no old and weak, only the enemy. The army is not for good people, only for scum. On the battlefield, it is "man eats man". As for mercy, hehe! Wait until you've had enough of "people". Let's talk about mercy again!

The beggar thief came and went as fast as he could, and after half a moment's effort, he left more than thirty corpses in front of the battle and then fled.

However, after retreating, he was slaughtered by the overseers led by the bald man. More than a dozen beggars who were the first to flee lost their names again.

And through the temptation just now, the leader Dahan already knew that he had kicked the iron plate. The leader of the big man had red eyes, gritted his teeth, and sent all the beggars except for the old battalion and cavalry.

I'm going to use the crowd tactics that beggars are best at.
