Section 2 The Tiger Fights the Rabbit (I)

Liu Yunwei and the generals were all taken aback when they heard that the army of thieves was coming, but then everyone felt the battle intent that rushed to the sky! The strength of the Hanwei battalion at this time has reached more than 40,000 people, which can be described as unprecedentedly powerful, although the individual combat strength of the officers and soldiers of each department is not as good as in the past, but the strong force can fully make up for this shortcoming, coupled with the role of the veterans of the Hanwei battalion playing the role of the mainstay, Liu Yunwei is fully confident that he can defeat twice or even several times the enemy army!

Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, and Wang Dangdang, the three belligerent guys, jumped up even more excitedly, shouting and screaming to be the vanguard, for fear that they would fall behind and kill them unhappily. It's no wonder that Zhao Kaishan and the others were excited, at this time, in the area of Yiyang City, the combined strength of the Hanwei battalion and the thief army was about 200,000, this is a once-in-a-lifetime battle! I'm afraid that in the eyes of the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion, the hundreds of thousands of thieves are hundreds of thousands of heads, and they are shocking military exploits.

Liu Yunwei was also arrogant and full of fighting spirit, and shouted to everyone: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Master Chen led the baggage to retreat the headquarters and reserve battalion to Yiyang City, and cooperated with the defenders in the city to defend Yiyang and protect the rear road of the army; The rest of the 1,000 headquarters all went out with me to meet the army of thieves. In this battle, the thousands of headquarters of our Hanwei battalion must use all their strength to strive for the completion of their achievements in one battle, and seek to hit the thieves in a battle with the power of the tiger and the rabbit, and lay the foundation for victory! ”

"Hanwei Camp Wansheng!"

"Hanwei Camp Wansheng!"

An hour later, Liu Yunwei led all the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to set out and set off towards the west of Yiyang, preparing to meet the army of thieves; Before leaving, Liu Yunwei also brought the four big Buddha cannons he asked for from Zhang Yuxing, wanting to give the thieves a big surprise.

The 40,000-strong army marched in formation, the neat and vast military array was boundless, and the neat footsteps of the soldiers seemed to be the muffled thunder on the horizon, echoing under the clear sky, and even the earth trembled.

Liu Yunwei rode his horse to live in the formation, and as far as he could see, there were fiery red battle clothes and fluttering flags, and a killing aura came to his face; And the battle flag of the Great Bright Sun and Moon Jin Tao standing beside Liu Yunwei was even more hunting, as if it wanted to completely sweep away all the filth in the world. In this way, the army of the Hanwei battalion has been advancing for several miles, the formation of the thousands of headquarters is not chaotic, and the morale of the officers and men of the whole army is still high.

"It seems that these recruits have begun to adapt to life in the battalion, and there is a lot of discipline between the marches, which shows that the generals are practicing with their hearts; After this bloody battle, the surviving soldiers will definitely be reborn from the ashes and become the absolute main force against Jiannu in the future! ”

Liu Yunwei thought secretly in his heart, full of pride. And at this moment, there was also dust covering the sky and the sun in front of him, and the shaking of the earth was even more obvious, and Liu Yunwei and the others had even heard the noisy shouts of the army of thieves.

Liu Yunwei looked at the situation in front of him with a calm face, and nodded to the flag-bearer beside him, and the flag-bearer hurriedly waved the flag in his hand, and the surrounding drummers immediately beat the war drums to meet the enemy. Immediately afterwards, the flags of the thousands of generals of the various headquarters danced and began to respond to the flags, and then began to assemble around the Chinese army.

Wu Xing's trapping troops were at the forefront of the large array, and more than 4,000 soldiers formed a huge phalanx, and the soldiers of the first division formed a powerful annihilation array, ready to give the enemy a thunderous blow; Lu Ying's flying feather division hurriedly lined up behind the soldiers of the trapping department, preparing to bring a rain of arrows of death to the army of thieves; Li Tianhao led the Yue cavalry to the left array, Zhao Kaishan led the Huben to the right array, Wang Gandang's Zhichong division and Gao Hongguang's Yingyang division were all in the Chinese army, ready to support the troops or prepare to counterattack; The Yulin Department led by Huang Fuming was a newly formed thousand headquarters, and its combat strength was inferior to that of the remaining thousand headquarters, so it was left behind by Liu Yunwei in the rear of the large array, responsible for guarding the retreat of the army; The Changshui Department led by Wen Poyu was arrayed alone outside the large array, and more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers formed a huge cone-shaped formation, waiting quietly on the right side of the main large array of the Hanwei battalion, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the army of thieves! And Liu Yunwei did not put out the four big Buddha cannons, one was afraid of scaring those thieves away, and the other was that the four cannons did not have much gunpowder and cannons, and as soon as the war started, I was afraid that if I couldn't shoot a few cannons, I would be dumb; Therefore, Liu Yunwei left the four artillery pieces in the Chinese army, ready to play a decisive role at the critical moment.

Half an hour later, the army of thieves slowly stopped, and the formation was two hundred paces away from the army of the Hanwei battalion, and began to form a group.

Liu Yunwei looked at the army of hundreds of thousands of thieves, and his heart was also very shocked, and he said secretly: "This place is about five miles away from Yiyang, and it is a nameless plain. Today, the 200,000 troops of both sides of the enemy and us will fight here, presumably in the future, this place will become a place for literati to pay homage to the ancients, and Yiyang will also be famous in China with this war! ”

Soon, the army of thieves was complete, and the army of 150,000 was divided into ten huge phalanxes, each of which had 15,000 men; These ten huge phalanxes present the distribution of the first four, the middle three, and the last three, and the phalanxes are staggered and orderly with each other.

Liu Yunwei was shocked after observing for a while, and said to the generals around him who came to inquire about the generals: "This Zhao Zhenren is a strong opponent!" was able to train these 150,000 thieves to such a point under the nose of the imperial court, if it took time, this Zhao Zhenren would probably really be a big trouble like Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao! ”

Lu Ying and the others all looked grim, but they were full of expectations for the upcoming battle, but they remained cautious and would never give the thieves any opportunity to take advantage of.

Liu Yunwei snorted coldly and said, "Generals! In today's battle, the primary responsibility of our army is to inflict heavy losses on the army of thieves, and we must destroy the living force of the thieves at all costs, once there is a chance to kill Zhao Zhenren, no matter how much the cost is, we must behead him, so as not to leave trouble! ”

"Order!" The generals shouted.

At this moment, the rogue army suddenly heard the sound of drums, and the four phalanxes and 60,000 troops of the rogue army at the forefront rushed towards the Hanwei camp camp with shouts. These thieves are only equipped with simple weapons, and basically have no armor to protect themselves, but they are full of fighting spirit, which shows that their morale is strong.

Liu Yunwei laughed when he saw this, and said: "Haha, I didn't expect this Zhao Zhenren to dispatch an army of 60,000 as soon as he came up, do you also want to come out with a fierce tiger and a rabbit?" Hum! I think this Zhao Zhenren really has no self-knowledge, can't he see it? He himself is the rabbit, and I, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion, are the tigers! All the generals are in their positions, tell the soldiers to cheer up, let these thieves know what is the elite soldier of a hundred battles, and what is the tiger fighting the rabbit! ”

A moment later, the Hanwei camp also resounded with the sound of majestic war drums. Different from the thief side, the war drums in the Hanwei battalion army formation are not messy, short, and unconfident in the thief formation, but very calm, majestic, and passionate, full of horizontal sword and impetable ambition!

After Wu Xing returned to the formation, he stood proudly in front of the extermination array with a long sword in his hand, looking at the army of thieves who rushed to about a hundred steps in front of him, with a contemptuous smile on his face. Then, Wu Xing roared: "Fight!" ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! More than 4,000 soldiers in the trap roared in unison, and the bright swords and spears like jungles shook suddenly, ready to attack the thieves; The soldiers of the Yue Cavalry led by Li Tianhao and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben led by Zhao Kaishan were also roaring excitedly, and the roar of "Wansheng" was deafening, and the rest of the thousands of headquarters soldiers also joined in the ranks of shouting, and the roar of "Ming Wansheng" covered the entire battlefield.

At the same time, Lu Ying was also infected by the roars of the soldiers, and saw that the attacking army of thieves had entered the firing range, so he shouted: "Ready!" Put! ”

"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun rose into the air and smashed down fiercely towards the army of thieves who were killing madly, and immediately smashed several large pits into several large pits in the phalanx of thieves. The continuous rain of arrows caused huge casualties to the various phalanxes of the thieves, and the thieves were shot to the ground, and then trampled into a puddle of flesh by their companions behind.

Zhao Zhenren in the distance looked at everything in front of him, and there was no wave on his face, as if the soldiers who were shot by the Hanwei battalion in front of him were not his own soldiers, but a group of insignificant ants.

"Give the order to go down, beat the war drums, and tell the attacking four phalanx soldiers that no one is allowed to retreat until they are dead!"

For a while, the war drums on the bandit side beat louder, and at the same time, the army of thieves who had rushed to the front of Hanwei's camp dozens of steps also became more crazy, these rogue soldiers wielding rudimentary weapons roared loudly, desperately bumped into the soldiers in the trap, and were immediately thinned by the cold light spear, and countless rogue soldiers who had no time to dodge were worn on the spear and kept shaking.

Wu Xing roared loudly and led the soldiers of the extermination array to start the battle, and the heavy spears and horse chopping knives cooperated with each other, bringing a feast of death to the army of thieves; In a short time, the corpses of the bloodied thieves were already piled up in front of the trapping headquarters.

However, the number of thieves was so large that if one thief was killed, ten thieves rushed up, and they couldn't be killed!

Wu Xing fought hard to kill the enemy with a tense face, and the horse chopping knife in his hand had turned into a deadly cold light, taking the lives of no less than a hundred thieves! And the rest of the soldiers in the trap were also fighting bravely, sticking to the front of the Hanwei battalion and preferring to die rather than retreat!
