Stomp, stomp!
Li Zixiao rode a white horse, with quartz following closely behind, and slowly walked towards the front of the two armies, stopping three hundred meters away from the front of Song Xiance's thief army.
"Song Xiance, come out and see you!" Li Zixiao smiled, came to the front of the thief army, and shouted loudly.
Soon, in the formation of the thieves on the opposite side, a tall man on horseback rushed out, followed by two guards, and came to Li Zixiao ten meters away to confront him.
"Li Zixiao, I didn't expect you to dare to come!"
Song Xiance knew Li Zixiao, and he also admired Li Zixiao's courage at this time.
Because, the white dragon sergeant on Li Zixiao's body looks like he is full of calculations, and there are only five or six thousand people, and he dares to take such a small number of troops to shout for a decisive battle with him, and it is the first time he has seen it.
"Why didn't I dare to come, this decisive battle was originally proposed by me.
Now I can give you a chance, as long as you order to surrender and surrender to this general, I can spare you and not die, and give you the opportunity to become a knight.
What do you think? Think about it, otherwise you are likely to end up in the same fate as Liu Tichun. ”
Li Zixiao was as calm as ever, and he was about to surrender as soon as he came up.
Song Xiance obviously didn't expect that Li Zixiao would open his mouth to surrender him, and he didn't react for a while, but then he laughed out loud.
"Haha, I'm laughing to death, what are you talking about, you actually asked me to surrender to you, it's really ridiculous, what qualifications do you have, let me surrender to you."
Song Xiance couldn't stop laughing, and then tears flowed out.
Because, in Song Xiance's opinion, Li Zixiao's words are simply a joke.
"You may not have woken up yet, open your eyes and look behind me, but I have 30,000 elites under my command.
Now, as soon as I give the order, they will rush over and slaughter all your men, and now that you have made me surrender, I think you should surrender.
Perhaps, as long as you are willing to surrender to my family, see how much ability you have, maybe my family is still willing to accept you.
In the future, King Chuang will break through the capital and become the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and when the time comes, it will be okay to make you a general, which is much stronger than you being the general of the Ming Dynasty now.
Otherwise, wait for me to defeat you, capture you alive, and see that I don't cramp your bones and avenge the dead Liu Tichun brothers. ”
Song Xiance also reversed, wanting to surrender Li Zixiao, and in the end, Song Xiance had murderous intent in his eyes, he really wanted to avenge Liu Tichun.
Li Zixiao was still smiling, not angry at all because of Song Xiance's words, and at the same time got some information from Song Xiance's words.
There were 30,000 troops behind him, that is to say, there was indeed an error in his previous speculation, and the troops in Song Xiance's hands were more sufficient than he thought.
But it's just enough, not enough to turn the tide of battle so easily.
Li Zixiao directly chose to ignore the words that Song Xiance said later, and then looked up at the sky, it is difficult to see the sun today, and the people who shine are warm.
"I didn't expect that even the sky was beautiful, and such weather was just right for the decisive battle."
After finishing speaking, Li Zixiao looked at Song Xiance again and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense anymore, let's fight, let me tell you, war is not something that can be won with a lot of people." ”
After speaking, Li Zixiao turned his horse and returned to the White Dragon Army formation.
Looking at Li Zixiao's departing back, Song Xiance's face was also gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "Li Zixiao, I'll see you captured you later." Avenge Brother Liu. ”
Song Xiance also returned to the thief army formation, and the two sides were separated by a few hundred meters, facing each other, and their momentum became extremely tense and dignified.
And on Li Zixiao's side, when he had just led the team to appear, Qi Wei, who was a few miles away from the Wu clan, was already waiting.
Early in the morning, all the soldiers under Qi Wei woke up, and one by one they were ready to break through and kill at any time.
Qi Wei stood on a big rock, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and when he saw the golden 'Li' character banner and the white dragon Tengtian flag, his face showed an excited look.
"We guessed correctly, it was not General Xu who led the army this time, but the general himself."
Qi Wei put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to Li Guo next to him.
At this time, Li Guo was also holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the confrontation between Li Zixiao and Song Xiance in the distance.
"That's right, it's the general, I saw it, but the general is really going to have a decisive battle with Song Xiance, he only has five or six thousand people on him, isn't it too hasty.
Moreover, Qi Wei, you see, why did Song Xiance's subordinates suddenly have so many more people, except for the tens of thousands of people who are still guarding the mountain.
Song Xiance brought the men and horses who were preparing for a decisive battle with the general, and there were at least 30,000 people, and they had been fighting with us for more than half a month, not to mention the loss of seven or eight thousand people.
Why is it that now, the troops in Song Xiance's hands are fighting more and more? Li Guo observed more carefully and asked suspiciously.
"Well, I also saw it, it is estimated that during this time, either Song Xiance coerced more young people to join them, or there was another thief army that joined them.
Their strength has indeed increased instead of decreasing, and this is a bit tricky.
I estimate that the general will find a way to send us a message later, so that the standard-bearer will always pay attention, and the general is most likely to communicate with us through the flag. ”
Qi Wei's expression was solemn, he was worried about Li Zixiao, and he also thought that Li Zixiao chose to fight Song Xiance like this, which was a bit reckless.
"Look, it's the flag that the general is playing in the formation, let a flag bearer come over and see how the general asks us to cooperate."
Soon, Qi Wei saw that in Li Zixiao's array, a flag bearer was waving the obviously enlarged flag in his hand in their direction, and shouted to his own soldiers.
Soon, a standard-bearer was transferred, Qi Wei handed him a clairvoyant mirror and said, "Look at it, what did the general say?" ”
The standard-bearer took the clairvoyant mirror, put it in his eyes, looked down the mountain, and then said: "The general orders us to stand by and not to break through without authorization, and wait for his further orders. ”
"What? How can it be? This is the order of the Great General, are you sure you read that right? ”
As soon as the standard-bearer finished speaking, Qi Wei shouted in disbelief.
"General, my subordinates are not mistaken, that's what the flag says." The standard-bearer looked to the side again, and then said firmly.
"Strange, what is the general doing here? He wouldn't really want to use the five or six thousand men in his hand to defeat Song Xiance head-on! Qi Wei said in shock.
At this time, Li Guo glanced at Qi Wei and asked rhetorically, "Do you think this is the style of a great general?" This kind of thing of losing troops without taking advantage, what do you think the general will do?
Look at it, I dare to guarantee that the general definitely has a backhand, didn't you see Han Tong leading your Flying Feather Battalion, and it hasn't appeared yet?
Since the general has given us an order, let's wait and see what happens and cooperate with the general's battle. ”
"That's all for now." Qi Wei smiled bitterly and said.
Immediately, Qi Wei handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to the standard-bearer behind him, and advised: "Now I will put this clairvoyant mirror here for you."
You have to use it, always pay attention to the movements of the standard-bearers in the formation of the great general Yamashita, and report to me as soon as there are new instructions, understand? ”
"Yes, General." The standard-bearer carefully took the clairvoyant mirror and responded.
Knock knock!
At the foot of the Wushi Mountain, the war drums sounded, and the thieves roared one by one, and they saw such a small number of people in the White Dragon Military Region opposite, completely ignoring them, and their morale was high.
Song Xiance saw that his morale was high and his mood was also very good, but in fact, in his heart, he did not have the slightest contempt for this battle.
Moreover, he also knew that the number of the White Dragon Army on the other side was much smaller than them, but the muskets and artillery in the hands of the White Dragon Army were too sharp.
They don't know how many times they have suffered losses in muskets and artillery in the hands of the White Dragon Army, and at the same time, the armor of the ordinary foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army is also better than them, and their weapons are sharper.
Song Xiance found that in addition to the large number of people, their side did not have the slightest advantage in other aspects.
Compared with the thieves on the other side, who were screaming excitedly, the White Dragon Army was quieter.
The only one who also roared excitedly was the fierce wolf battalion led by Tie Dan, after all, these guys were mountain bandits before, and their fighting methods were actually not much different from those thieves.
The only difference is that these mountain bandits who have been carefully selected by Tie Dan can not only fight against the wind, but also make a mess suddenly, even if they encounter a headwind, they are also unambiguous.
With the beating of the war drums on both sides, the White Dragon Army quickly set up a formation, with the musketeers in front and the artillerymen in the back, while the left and right sides were the 'Iron Blood Battalion' and the Fierce Wolf Battalion.
The formation put forward by Li Zixiao is still mainly defensive, and it can also attack, and the musketeer is in the center and forward, like a knife.
And the two wings of the Fierce Wolf Battalion and the Iron Blood Battalion, in addition to guarding the two wings of the musketeers, can also take the initiative to attack, which can be regarded as two shields.
In this case, Li Zixiao will definitely not take the initiative to attack Song Xiance, and the first to do it must be Song Xiance's side.
So, in front of the White Dragon musketeers, there was actually a row of chariots, each of which was equipped with two Francophone cannons.
When the enemy charged, Franc would fire first, in line with the musketeers' fire, while when the thieves rushed ahead, this row of chariots could be an obstacle to their advance.
And the artillery battalion at the back, with the howitzers in their hands, can bypass their own ranks in front without any scruples and shoot shells at the heads of the thieves.
On the side of the thief army, Song Xiance knew the sharpness of the muskets and artillery of the White Dragon Army, and at the same time, he also worked out a special tactic to deal with the White Dragon Army after thinking about the large number of people on his side.
In fact, Song Xiance's tactics are also very simple, that is, to give full play to the advantages of his large number of troops, and launch attacks from multiple directions, which he will call 'blossoming on all sides'.
After all, the number of musketeers in Li Zixiao's hands at this time is also limited, about more than 1,200 people.
Moreover, according to Song Xiance's discovery, the musketeers of the White Dragon Army were only the most terrifying when they lined up and launched a salvo.
If the number of musketeers of the White Dragon Army in each direction is not large, it will not be able to do much damage to the thief army that is large in number and scattered in all directions and starts to charge.
Once the thieves under their own command rushed to these musketeers, this battle could basically be won by them, and it was over.
Song Xiance didn't plan at all this time to break through the White Dragon Army from the front, because the firepower of the White Dragon Army was the most fierce.
Song Xiance is looking for a breakthrough from the two wings this time, and the firepower of the two wings is much smaller than the front.
Therefore, when Song Xiance dealt with the White Dragon Army, it was not his most elite soldiers who were sent to attack in the front, but all of them were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, or the young and strong refugees he had brought from Dengfeng before.
And the men and horses who attacked on both wings in a roundabout way were the most elite soldiers under Song Xiance, and Song Xiance was bound to win this battle.
"Kill!"
After the war drums sounded, the thief army under Song Xiance divided into several shares according to his order and rushed towards Li Zixiao's side.
Boom Boom!
At the same time, on the side of the White Dragon Army, as always, the artillery fired first.
Poor Song Xiance didn't have artillery at all, and he actually collected a lot of artillery in order to attack Wushi Mountain before.
As a result, when they attacked Wushi Mountain in the past half month, they were all knocked out by Qi Wei with the artillery in his hand.
"Fire!"
On the side of the White Dragon Army, an artillery battalion officer shouted loudly and ordered his gunners to bombard the charging thieves.
Thundered!
In this case, the artillery men of the White Dragon Army used explosive bombs, which exploded after landing, and the threat to the charging soldiers was still very great.
At this time, Qi Wei and Li Guo, who were standing on the Wushi Mountain, could witness this battle more clearly.
The two of them obeyed Li Zixiao's orders and did not act rashly for the time being, but they had already asked their subordinates to be ready at any time.
Once they received Li Zixiao's attack order, they could kill the mountain as soon as possible.
At this time, Qi Wei and Li Guo were standing on the Wushi Mountain, and they saw the thieves on Song Xiance's side, divided into several teams, and killed the White Dragon Army.
Among them, a scattered but outnumbered group of thieves rushed towards the White Dragons head-on, facing a platoon of Francos and three columns of musketeers.
And there are a few bands of thieves, obviously detouring towards the wings, and they look much more elite.
"It's not good, Song Xiance, this thief saw the general's predicament at this time, and he knew that it would be difficult to break through the musketeer's fire net head-on.
So he hit the idea on the two wings, what he really wanted to break through was the two wings, and we didn't have musketeers on the two wings. ”
Li Guo also exclaimed in surprise after seeing that the thief army was attacking at this time, and several teams were attacking in different directions.
"Well, I also saw it, and I guess the general also saw it, but there is no way, the general has limited troops in his hands, and once the musketeers are dispersed, the power will be greatly reduced.
At this time, it depends on how the general breaks the situation, and this battle is a huge test for the teams on both wings. Qi Wei said with a solemn expression.
As Qi Wei said, when Li Zixiao attacked the thieves under Song Xiance, and then divided into several units and scattered to attack, he understood Song Xiance's intentions.
