Sure enough, as Lin Chong thought, Gao Lian decided to fight without the slightest hesitation after receiving Lin Chong's battle letter.

However, he is not a completely reckless person, there are examples of Yunzhou City, Zengtou City and Lingzhou City in the past, Gao Lian is still very cautious, and immediately summoned three henchmen Yu Zhi, Wen Wenbao and Xue Yuanhui, as well as two Western Army commanders Zhang Xiucen and Zhu Min to discuss the military aircraft matter.

"The Liangshan thieves came down to the battle book, and asked me to fight a decisive battle ten miles outside the city tomorrow, what do the generals think?"

I listened to Zhang Xiucen, the commander of the Western Army, and said: "This gang of water and grass cowards, the anti-country traitors are not hiding in Liangshan, but they are bound when they are sent to the door, and it is better to come, it is God's convenience, and the heavens are rewarded for their meritorious service!" ”

The commander Yu Zhi reminded: "Commander Zhang can't underestimate the enemy, before this gang of Liangshan thieves attacked Yunzhou City, Zengtou City, Lingzhou six battalions of soldiers and horses won every battle, in less than a day to annihilate Zengtou City 7,000 soldiers and horses, and effortlessly surrendered Lingzhou's two generals of water and fire, we can't underestimate it!" ”

It turned out that Zengtou City was in the southwest of Lingzhou, close to Gaotang Prefecture, and Yu Zhi was the commander who had stayed in Gaotang Prefecture for more than a year, so he had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of Zengtou City and the two generals of Lingzhou.

However, Wen Wenbao and Xue Yuanhui were both commanders who had only come to Gaotang Prefecture to serve for more than a month with Gao Lian, and they couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this.

"I think he Lin Chong will raise tens of thousands of troops in half a year, all the soldiers are just bandits and robbers, Zhuangke tenants, I'm afraid that half a year ago more than half of the people were still holding hoes and plowing the ground, what combat power can such an army have?"

"I think this Lin Chong is just relying on his own courage to gather some strong people in the green forest who are also strong in martial arts, relying on his personal martial arts to defeat and surrender Yunzhou, Lingzhou's military horses, tomorrow to fight, we don't fight with him!"

Zhu Min, another commander of the Western Army, also sneered: "It's just some rabble, even if you defeat those bird soldiers in Yunzhou, Lingzhou, and Zengtou City, what will they be?"

As far as Hebei Province and Jingdong Road are concerned, these forbidden troops really want to be pulled to Guanxi to fight Western thieves, but I am afraid that they are not as good as the people! If nothing else, let's just say how many years have they not been at war? ”

He stood up and said proudly: "But we are veterans in the northwest, in Hengshan, and in Hehuang who have fought with the Western Thieves for ten years!" Which one is not crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood, and from the pile of dead people?

Grace Xiang rest assured, unless this gang of Liangshan thieves does not come tomorrow, as long as they dare to come, the young general dares to make a military order, and they will be defeated and lost! Isn't he Lin Chong known as Lin Invincible? Tomorrow we will let him know what a battle formation is, and what kind of fate a personal martial artist will have in front of a real battle array! ”

Gao Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, patted his thigh and said, "Okay!" The generals are arrogant, the official will look at you tomorrow, if you can capture Lin Chong alive, the official will definitely play the official family to ask for credit for you, don't let the official down! ”

"Don't worry, look at us!"

The two commanders of the Western Army smiled at each other, stood up and said loudly, as if they had won in their demeanor and tone, killing Lin Chong was as simple as killing a chicken.

The time of the night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the armies of the two sides buried their own pots and cooked food, ordered troops to fight, and came to the south of Gaotang Prefecture ten miles away from each of them to form a formation, each with a strong bow and a hard crossbow to hold the position, ready to fight.

After some temptation between the scouts on both sides, Lin Chong jumped out of the battle first, and shouted loudly: "Gao Lian Xiao'er, come out and die!" ”

Gao Lian sneered unconsciously, and said in his heart, are you stupid? Your martial arts are so high, how stupid do I have to be to be stupid enough to go out and fight you alone?

At that moment, Gao Lian also put the horse in line, led more than 30 officers, all went out to the door flag, restrained the horse, pointed at Lin Chong from a distance and scolded: "You gang of traitors who don't know death, how dare you directly attack my city?" ”

Lin Chong shouted: "You dog official who harms the people! Sooner or later, I will kill the capital and smash your brother Gao Yu, who harmed the country and the people, into pieces! ”

Gao Lian laughed, pointed at Lin Chong and scolded: "What a big breath, I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!" Why bother? This official is here, Lin Chong, aren't you known as invincible in the blood trail, if you have the ability, you will rush over and kill me! ”

Lin Chong said seriously: "This is what you said, don't run if you have the ability!" ”

Gao Lian sneered: "Ignorant puddle grass thief, Hugh is talking big!" Since you have come to invade my city, you will come to your death quickly, and you will not be a good man! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Lian turned around and made a gesture to the officers and men of the whole army, and more than 30 officers behind him immediately took the lead and shouted: "Cao Kou Lin Chong, come and die quickly, it's not a good man who leaves!" ”

"Cao Kou Lin Chong, come and die quickly, it's not a hero who goes!"

A total of 5,000 soldiers and horses from the 10th battalion shouted loudly in unison, and the sound shook the sky and the momentum was amazing.

Lin Chong sneered, he waved his hand at the moment, the flag behind him waved, the horn sounded, and then the chaotic military formation before the Liangshan army suddenly became extremely neat, and on the two wings of the infantry army formation, Li Tianyan, Bian Xiang, Zhang Qing, and Tang Bin The four battalions of field cavalry began to charge.

In the Song army's military formation, it is said that although Gao Lian is the same as Gao Yu, he is a gangster, but he is not without any real skills, not only some three-legged cats have martial arts, but after becoming the Zhizhou Taishou who is in charge of both the army and the people, this thing has also asked some generals who have fought in the war what is going on, not the kind of complete military white.

At that moment, Gao Lian saw that Lin Chong didn't say a word, and directly ordered the cavalry to rush into battle, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Stupid!" ”

Otherwise, how to say that the grass is the grass bandit, even the barbarian Hu people such as the Western Thief and the Liao Dog know the truth that the array does not fight, and this group of grass robbers is so stupid as to use cavalry to directly attack the large formation of the infantry army with the strict formation.

You must know that the Han family's arrow array is unparalleled in the world, and generations of Han men can always shoot the Hu Lu on the back of the grassland horse with a bow and crossbow.

As long as they are lined up in a strict military formation, and given them the opportunity to exert their full strength, they will be greeted by one massacre after another!

It's like the Xiongnu who Daqin beat with Qin's crossbow and didn't dare to go south to herd horses; During the Han Dynasty, Li Ling's 5,000 crossbowmen swept through the Xiongnu and killed several times the enemy, and in the history of more than a thousand years, there are countless such examples.

This is all because the cavalry cavalry is far inferior to the infantry in terms of range and accuracy, and the rate of fire is far inferior to the infantry rifle, most of the time without waiting for the cavalry to rush to the front, they are shot to the ground by the arrow array, even if they barely rush to the front, the first and second rows of the infantry army still have spears like a forest of spears waiting for them.

And because of the lack of excellent war horses, the Great Song Dynasty made more and more efforts in the infantry arrow array, and the Liangshan cavalry rushed over so recklessly, isn't it sent to death?

At the moment, not only did Gao Lian secretly scold stupidity in his heart, but Yu Zhi, Wen Wenbao, Xue Yuanhui, Zhang Xiucen, Zhu Min and others also shook their heads mockingly, feeling that they had really overestimated Liangshan's gang of grass thieves before.
