Zhang Dou ordered the soldiers to cook before dawn, and after breakfast at dawn, he headed for Pingyin County.

It was just past morning when they arrived at Pingyin County, and when the men and horses led by Zhang Dou appeared in Pingyin County, the Dacheng army originally stopped at the siege of the city.

Nearly 10,000 men and horses confronted Zhang Dou, and in Xu Hongru's camp, there were constantly Dacheng troops pouring out.

A few days ago, the victory of the men and horses of Niulanshan over the official army seemed to have given all the Dacheng army a stimulant, and they had already seen the weakness of the official army.

The officers and soldiers became vulnerable from the myth of invincibility, and the eyes that were originally afraid of the Dacheng army when they saw the treatment of the people of Niulanshan became red.

As long as they defeat the officers and soldiers, they can also get such treatment. Therefore, the arrival of the official army did not make them afraid, on the contrary, the official army was a military achievement in their eyes.

Hearing that another official army was coming to send him to death, Hu Tieniu stood up again. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wang Haoxian, "General Hu, don't be too greedy, and you can't take all the credit." You also have to share some credit to others, this time General Hu is responsible for guarding the camp! ”

Xu Hongru also nodded after listening, and Hu Tieniu was obedient to him in the past few days. Even when he sent his younger brother Xu Heyu, the king of the martyrs, to Hu Tieniu's side as a deputy, Hu Tieniu happily accepted it. In the past few days, he has called Xu Heyu a brother and sister, and has become a friend who talks about everything.

Xu Hongru is naturally a lot more relieved to use such a person, and his younger brother is even more foolproof.

In addition, the number of Hu Tieniu's men and horses is too small, and his brother's men and horses are only more than 2,000 people. You can't use such an elite in every battle, and you have to fight a few more battles.

Moreover, he can also see that the generals of all parties are meritorious, and as the emperor, he is not easy to refute everyone's face.

He immediately ordered: "General Niu and King Yinglie will guard the camp, and the rest of the generals will follow me to meet the enemy!" I'm going to beat the drums myself to help the army! ”

Hu Tieniu retreated with a sullen look, and everyone present gloated one by one.

Xu Hongru ordered all the horses under his command to pour out of the nest, this time he wanted to kill chickens with a knife. It is necessary to completely annihilate the invading officers and troops, and strive to capture Pingyin County in one fell swoop with the help of the power of eliminating the officers and troops.

Zhang Dou sat on his horse and looked at the Dacheng army in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror, only to see no less than 50,000 horses pouring out of the camp.

There is a feeling of so many people standing in one place, and the black head makes people unable to see the edge at a glance.

The large number of Dacheng troops gathered together and shouted noisily, and it took a long time to send out a somewhat shaped goose wing array.

He shook his head again and again, not to mention anything else. There is almost no military discipline alone, and every Dacheng army can only stand in its own position under the shouting and scolding of officers.

Such soldiers are not even used as auxiliaries for the Changxing Army, these people are at best peasants who take up arms, and they are not as effective as the Ashigaru of the Wa Kingdom.

San Yang also swallowed saliva on Zhang Dou's side, and they were a little frightened by the number of Dacheng troops in front of them.

With so many people rushing up, even if the officers and soldiers are cut and killed, they will be tired and weak, not to mention that they have to fight.

If a person punches an officer or soldier, even if he is cured, it will be flat.

Yang Guodong said in a trembling voice: "Uncle! There are too many demons, so let's go back and think about it in the long run! ”

Zhang Dou sank his face and said, "The big war is about to begin!" There are those who dare to retreat! ”

Zhang Dou swept his gaze from Sanyang's face again, and said: "Ben Shuai hates the person who escapes from the battle, no matter who escapes, Ben Shuai will definitely kill all his clan." You can not believe Ben Shuai's words, you can use the whole family to see if what Ben Shuai said is true! ”

Sanyang shook his head in unison, they had all heard of the courage of this uncle in front of him. Dare to privately transfer troops in the capital to attack Baita Temple, and then attack Yaotai Villa, and then annihilate most of the Beijing cavalry, it is not too easy to kill them.

The three of them immediately cursed that they would obey the general's orders and never take half a step back.

The Changxing army was in the center, and Sanyang led the officers and troops to protect the flanks of the Changxing army on the left and right. Under Zhang Dou's order, the Changxing army sent an air phalanx.

In the formation was a hundred artillery led by Liu Xitian, who pushed eight early sun cannons to join the battle.

Last time in Nagasaki, the Hatsuyo cannon showed its might, and the huge cannonballs smashed directly through the strong city walls. At that time, Liu Xitian thought that if the Chuyang cannon was placed inside the phalanx in the field battle, he could keep attacking the enemy.

The impact of the 24-pound iron ball from the good is unmatched, and any enemy will be turned into pulp if it hits a cannonball.

This time, Liu Xitian came to Shandong with only 3-pounder and 6-pounder cannons, and replaced the rest with eight 24-pounder Chuyang cannons.

Xu Hongru finally got the 60,000 army lined up in an array, and one person stood up to ask for battle.

"I am willing to lead my subordinates to take the head of the enemy army commander and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

Xu Hongru glanced at the person who spoke, it was Chen Canyu, the backbone of the White Lotus Sect. Since he started his own army, this person has the courage and resourcefulness to fight and dare to fight, and has been named a general by himself, second only to Marshal Yu Hongzhi.

Chen Canyu's invitation to fight this time still made Xu Hongru feel more at ease, he nodded and said: "The officials and soldiers are scheming, don't be careless, you must be more careful!" ”

Chen Canyu successfully invited the battle and hugged his fist in the envious eyes of others.

"Order!" After speaking, he took a few steps back and turned around to get ready.

Not long after, 10,000 men and horses from the Dacheng army pressed on the Changxing army, and these people shouted as they walked, and they didn't pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all.

Chen Canyu even rode a war horse and ran back and forth in front of the team, shouting loudly as he ran: "Brothers, listen up!" Behead an officer and soldier, and reward ten taels of silver. Behead two heads and reward twenty taels of silver plus one woman, and after the battle, go to the homeless people to pick, and come to find the general if you like it! ”

His promise caused the Dacheng army to erupt in earth-shattering cheers. If you cut off the heads of the officers and soldiers, you can exchange them for white flowers and silver, and you can also get women.

In their eyes, the officials and soldiers have become movable silver ingots, as long as they rush up and gently swing the knife, they can get money beauties.

The temptation of silver and women was enormous, and the army of 10,000 people began to accelerate within a mile and rushed towards the Changxing army.

Liu Xitian looked at the herald in front of him helplessly and said, "Can't you open fire?" Can't small cannons be hit either? ”

He was answered by the cold words of the herald: "The commander has an order!" No cannon fire! ”

Liu Xitian could only reluctantly accept the order, watching the firecrackers move, he could only be a spectator depressedly.

The soldiers of the Dacheng army were getting closer and closer, and after entering the hundred paces, the archers stood out from the ranks, ready to give the Changxing army a salvo.
