As a general of the army, Lu Jingrong knew in his heart that he needed to take the lead at this time.

The soldiers who were surrounded were very excited when they saw the soldiers of the Shandong Army rushing towards them like a tide in the rear, and they knew that their brothers would not just leave them alone!

The Shandong soldiers rescued quickly, and the horse thief was caught off guard, Lu Jingrong wiped the blood splashed on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the horse thieves who quickly adjusted and prepared to charge, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and his hands trembled a little angrily.

These horse thieves don't look like ordinary thieves at all, everyone has a black scarf wrapped in a black scarf without three hundred taels of silver, and the sabre in their hands is not a rusty sber of ordinary thieves, but a steel knife with a cold light, and the equipment can be called excellent.

These bitches actually set a trap to do something to the Shandong army, Lu Jingrong immediately understood his current situation in his heart, and he also knew that this was not the time to curse.

Although the soldiers were caught off guard by the other party, there were some with knives and some with tiger guns in their hands, which were intricate, and the opposing horsemen must have a strict and unified formation to deal with before rushing over, otherwise it could only be a dead end.

If ordinary officers and soldiers were ambushed by such a well-prepared ambush, not to mention heavy losses, I am afraid that they would already be in chaos and scattered and defeated.

However, the performance of the Shandong soldiers was much better, although most people were frightened and panicked, but they also knew that if they broke away from the large army and turned around and fled at this time, they would definitely only be chased by horse thieves and hacked to death or knocked flying.

Seeing that the main general Lu Jingrong brought people back, everyone finally had a backbone, and gradually gathered together under the orders of various officers to sacrifice their lives, relying on the phalanx resistance of daily drills, and there was still a glimmer of life.

Although the officers were shouting orders at the neck of their necks, there were so few who could stay awake at this time, and most of them were clinging to each other out of fear, as if this would provide them with some sense of security.

This is the first time to participate in this kind of battle, and he is the main general who personally commands it, looking at the ever-changing battlefield, Lu Jingrong deeply understands how Wang Zheng felt when he was in this position, and admired him even more.

At the same time, he also desperately told himself in his heart that he must be calm, and everyone's lives and the honor of the Shandong Army can be maintained by himself.

"Tiger Gun Formation, Tiger Gun Formation!"

"Draw the Tiger Gun!!"

Hearing this continuous shouting order, the soldier who was still holding the knife immediately pulled out the tiger gun behind his back, and many people were comforting themselves in their hearts, this was a big training, the other party was a thief and there was nothing to be afraid of, and he skillfully put out a formation according to the usual drill.

But then again, this kind of terrain is of some benefit to the Shandong army at the moment, the number of horse thieves on all sides is only more than 400 people, and the phalanx is surrounded by uneven steep slopes, and strange rocks are craggy, protruding constantly, and the horses are obviously not as free to move as they are to rush down on flat ground and slopes.

The horse thieves have already practiced their kung fu of fleeing and fighting, and when Lu Jingrong led people to rush back, many horse thieves did not hesitate to leave the battlefield and flee to both sides, and now they are divided into four directions to sharpen their knives.

At this point, the soldiers understood that these people were obviously not ordinary horse thieves and bandits, and were probably local tyrants.

However, this is just a speculation in the hearts of most people, there is no definite news, before the Shandong army, as a guest army, wants to move these local wealthy clans do not occupy a famous position, and second, there is no advantage, and it is more likely to intensify the conflict with the local people, which is really not a good thing to deal with.

Although the smoke and dust were billowing all around him, and the strange screams were constant, the horse thieves were divided into four sides, and even if they rushed together, they were still in order, and the phalanx of the Shandong army was motionless, so there was plenty of time to change and respond.

The soldiers in the three circles on the periphery of the Tiger Gun Phalanx knew that they were the first to be attacked, and in order to stabilize their morale, veterans and junior officers who had participated in several battles often stood with them.

"Reject the horse!!"

Suddenly, the horse thief moved, and after the horse thief rushed to a distance of about eighty paces, a continuous shouting of orders sounded in the array of the Shandong army.

The soldiers at the front took the large wooden fork from the hands of the auxiliaries, and stood firmly on the ground with their hands, shoulder to shoulder, person to person, and some of the recruits who went into battle for the first time even let go of their voices and yelled, in fact, this is also a sign of nervousness in their hearts for courage.

Shandong soldiers are ready to resist their own impact, the horse thieves' faces are overflowing with the joy of victory, they have always been not afraid of officers and soldiers, these years, horse thieves against the local officers and soldiers who do not have a few horses have always been less people chasing more people, no matter how you will not lose.

"Boom!"

Although the regular soldiers of these three battalions were not equipped with bird guns, they all had three black balls hanging from their bodies, and they rushed so close that almost all the soldiers who could move in their hands threw the balls that had been ignited in one go.

Although this is not the most lethal, it is the first time that the Sky Thunder Horse Thieves have encountered it, and they never imagined that this black ball would have such great power.

Chai Ye and those local heroes heard very limited information, and they knew that there were some firearms that they had never seen in the Shandong army, but they didn't expect these seemingly ordinary round balls to be so terrifying.

All the Haoqiang knew was that the three battalions of the Shandong Army were going to pass through with a large number of refugees, so they notified the pirates, bandits, and bandits, and the leaders of each mountain and village had negotiated the distribution of the spoils, and set up an encirclement here.

The Shandong army, which they were preparing to fight with superior forces, could not find the north, and when the Shandong soldiers fled in a panic, they then used the combined horse teams to complete the final blow.

The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

Even after encountering the joint ambush of the local black and white forces, the Shandong soldiers were still not chaotic, and the main general did not wait for help or flee as expected, but did not hesitate to take people back quickly.

The accident is not only here, the speed of the Shandong soldiers' formation is simply unheard of, after the horse thieves are out of battle, the horses have not been adjusted, but the other party is already three layers inside and three layers outside the neat arrangement.

According to the impression of the horse thieves, when they rushed to about fifty paces, the officers and soldiers should have collapsed and fled, but the other party still stood still, but threw these black balls, causing his side to suffer unexpectedly huge casualties.

This kind of surprise made the charging horse thief seem a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue to sprint or go around the formation in circles to find a flaw.

The horse thieves are not stupid, knowing that their side is frustrated by casualties and charges, it is difficult to defeat the phalanx with rejecting horses at once, according to the previous rules, it is the best choice to go around the formation of officers and soldiers in a circle without panic at this time.

Because they are not in a hurry, and there are still large troops in the rear constantly rushing to join the encirclement, the officers and soldiers are wrapped in it, and the morale of the army is definitely unstable, and they may show a flaw at any time.

When the time comes, the officers and men will be scattered on all fronts.
