"Kill!" With a low roar, the soldiers of the Suiyang Army ran to the front of the Taoqiu Army in fear like dense ants, and fought with the Taoqiu Army!

The Taoqiu Knife Shield Bearer in the front row used his shield to block the opponent's attack, and at the same time picked up the steel knife in his hand and slashed at the opponent! The pikemen behind the sword and shield men immediately began to use the spears in their hands to stab the fish that tried to rush up, and then the crossbowmen continued to attack the Suiyang soldiers who rushed over with a neat volley!

This process of constant fighting has continued many times throughout the battlefield. No matter how the Suiyang army attacked, they were completely unable to break through the Taoqiu army's large array from the front, and they did not achieve any results except for leaving a corpse at the place where the two sides were fighting!

"We can't go on like this!" In the large array of the Suiyang army, Hua Rong looked at the situation on the battlefield and said to the surrounding generals with a resolute face!

Subsequently, the direction of attack of the entire Suiyang Army began to change! They no longer directly attacked the Taoqiu army from the front, they began to rely on the advantage of strong forces, and sent a large army to attack the Taoqiu army from the left and right!

The entire battlefield suddenly changed from a face-to-face battle between the two sides to a siege and annihilation battle of the Taoqiu Army by the Suiyang Army on three sides!

Seeing that the other party's deployment had changed, Dai Yan did not back down! He immediately caused the entire Taoqiu Army to shrink, and the soldiers who were originally on the two flanks immediately joined the soldiers who were fighting in the frontal formation, thus forming a convex arc formation to meet the next attack!

The Taoqiu army's large array changed, and the Suiyang army's outflanking changed. Since they couldn't turn the army to the back, they could only surround the entire Taoqiu army in a concave way!

The Suiyang army's strategy of attacking the two wings of the Taoqiu army by means of two bread copies failed. In this way, they can only continue to fight against the Taoqiu army on the battlefield with a larger contact area, and maintain such a war with the lives of soldiers!

Such a face-to-face battle tests the true strength of the two armies! In this kind of competition of strength, the physical fitness, training intensity, morale and even the strength of equipment of soldiers are all part of this strength!

In this kind of hard-to-hard competition of strength, the Taoqiu Army obviously has the upper hand!

In the past few years, Taoqiu's economy has developed rapidly, and the people have become rich, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of eating, it is far beyond other countries in the world. The local food in Taoqiu is cheap, and there are almost no hungry people. In addition, Taoqiu has a well-developed navigation industry, which can provide pickled fish, dried seafood, and even the meat provided by the Fuli grassland, and the physical fitness of the Taoqiu people is far stronger than that of the Suiyang people who are serfs!

Taoqiu has a rich material foundation, and it is not lagging behind in military training! Although there were only more than 20,000 standing troops like Wei Wushu in Taoqiu, these soldiers trained almost every day, all year round! The Song Wushu trained by Suiyang, due to the backwardness of the material base, is obviously not comparable to Taoqiu! As the militia that made up the two armies most extensively, the soldiers of Taoqiu also assembled and trained once a month; However, most of the militia recruited by Suiyang as the main force were peasants who went to the battlefield for the first time!

When it comes to morale, it is even more impossible for the soldiers of the Suiyang Army to compare with the soldiers of the Taoqiu Army! Every soldier of the Taoqiu Army knew very well that if they lost this war, then the bonds they bought in their hands would become a piece of waste paper! In order not to bankrupt the whole family and live the same poor life as before, almost every Taoqiu soldier is fighting to the death! And the soldiers of the Suiyang Army, except for their loyalty to the sovereign, no longer have any interest factors that can make them work!

What's more, there are still a large number of soldiers with basic primary school education hidden in the Taoqiu army. These soldiers are young and strong, and they have been brainwashed by compulsory education, and their minds are full of loyalty to the lord and the belief in fighting for Taoqiu, this belief among young people is an extremely pure faith, which constitutes a powerful spiritual force for the Taoqiu soldiers, so that the Taoqiu soldiers still have no signs of collapse in the face of an enemy army twice their size!

As a preliminarily industrialized city-state force, Taoqiu's equipment is powerful, and compared with Suiyang, it has an overwhelming advantage!

The Taoqiu soldiers used steel knives on the front line, while the Suiyang soldiers used copper swords. The spears used by the pikemen of the Taoqiu Army were uniformly manufactured, with ash rods as the body of the guns, refined iron or steel as the heads, and red cherry blossoms suitable for bloodletting at the head of the guns, which were standard battle light weapons; The spears used by the spearmen of the Suiyang army and their counterparts were made of hardwood as the shaft and copper as the tip of the spear, which was a typical heavy weapon, which was very suitable for horse or chariot charges, but it was very disadvantageous in battle!

When it comes to long-range attacks, the Suiyang Army is even less of Taoqiu's opponent! The crossbowmen of the Taoqiu Army armed with standard crossbows, a large number of soldiers will fall in the Suiyang Army in every round of salvos, not to mention the strong crossbows of the Taoqiu Army, which will kill and injure the Suiyang Army's large array behind the large array! The crossbowmen of the Suiyang Army, due to the inconsistent bow and crossbow shapes, even if there are a small number of sharpshooters who have caused damage to the soldiers of the Taoqiu Army, how can the killing efficiency on the battlefield be compared with the standardized killing of the Taoqiu Army?

The head-on confrontation between the Suiyang Army and the Taoqiu Army is like two giants fighting for their lives by hard-hitting means! The giant Suiyang Army is big, but his body is fat, while Taoqiu Jun is small, but his body is extremely strong! After the two giants fought each other, the Suiyang Army, which was bigger but fat, was no match for the Taoqiu Army at all!

The most straightforward thing about this confrontation is that on the frontal battlefield, the casualties of the Suiyang Army in a single battlefield are far greater than those of the Taoqiu Army! In such a straightforward head-on confrontation, the side with the most numbers is not as good as the side with the small number of people, and the soldiers on both sides know what it means!

The stronger Taoqiu Army naturally became more and more courageous the more they fought, and the Suiyang Army, which was already weaker, after a large number of Song warriors began to suffer casualties, once the remaining serfs who had not experienced military training went to the battlefield, most of them would not be frightened by this mountain of corpses and blood on the battlefield!

Soon, the Suiyang army began to flee. Although under Hua Rong's strict orders, the overseer team slaughtered all the soldiers of the Suiyang Army who tried to escape, but they could not suppress the increasingly unfavorable battle situation at all!

In such a situation, Le Yi, who had been cruising on the periphery of the battlefield, saw an opportunity!

More than 3,000 cavalry, under his command, directly began to assemble. Subsequently, he attacked the strongest embankment of the entire Suiyang army, and the warlord team launched an attack!

In this attack, he did not spare the lives of his soldiers like he had done with cavalry before, but launched an attack on these overseers with real means of fighting for his life! These cavalrymen were armed with sabers and rode fast horses directly towards their opponents, and they relied on the rapid impact of the cavalry and the sharp sabers, and soon caused great damage to the Warlords!

The overseer team composed of more than 10,000 people, after being attacked by the cavalry several times, can still stay in place, no more than half! And the rest of the soldiers were also full of fear for the cavalry charge!

Of course, the cavalry in Le Yi's hands also paid a tragic price, and the cavalry that originally exceeded 3,000 people, and the rest was only more than 2,000 people! However, in Le Yi's opinion, it was all worth it!

Once again, he led the cavalry in a charge against the Warlords! In the face of the cavalry that charged with thunderous momentum, the remaining Suiyang military commanders no longer dared to stay in place, they fled directly like birds and beasts!

Even if Hua Rong personally went to the battlefield with a knife and even beheaded several soldiers, he couldn't stop such a wave of escape!

The Warlord team collapsed, and the last embankment of the entire Suiyang Army was also destroyed! Subsequently, the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Suiyang Army, who had long been overwhelmed, had no pressure, did not dare and did not want to face the tough and tenacious opponent, and turned their steps and retreated towards the rear!

These armies were able to maintain a little order at first, but when they saw their previous opponents start to charge, chasing them with their butts, they no longer dared to maintain that calm speed and good order, and they scattered and fled!

An army of more than 100,000 quickly turned into a rabble of more than 100,000! Under the continued pursuit of the Taoqiu army, no matter how brave the people in these armies once were, they have now completely become cowards who only know how to escape!

In the face of such a good advantage, Dai Yan was very happy! He immediately ordered all the great armies to stop leaving their hands behind and pursue at full speed!

With more than 100,000 troops, what I thought of at the beginning was Xiayi City behind. This low city wall has become the strongest fortress in the hearts of these terrified deserters! They all want to enter the city and save their lives!

However, Dr. Xia Yi, who was standing on the city wall to defend, had a completely different idea from the frightened deserters under the city. When he saw that the tiger-like army of Taoqiu began to fight near the city, intending to capture the city through these deserters, he immediately and decisively closed the city gate to prevent anyone from entering!

The remaining deserters are in despair! In the face of the tiger-like army behind, some of them chose to surrender, some chose to resist, and most of them bypassed Xia Yi and began to flee to the rear!

Now there is only one thought left in their hearts: Hurry up and go home!

Having broken twice the Suiyang army head-on, Dai Yan has a new level of understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Taoqiu army! In the face of a group of defeated troops, he issued an order for each army to take divisions and brigades as units, let the army continue to pursue, and be sure to capture the Suiyang soldiers as much as possible!

For the two major thieves in Suiyang, Hua Rong and Le Cheng, Dai Yan issued a very high reward: as long as anyone can capture or kill these two people, a reward of 10,000 gold will be awarded, and the land will be split!

After such a high reward was transmitted, all the Taoqiu soldiers were boiling! Not only did the fighting army begin to move forward at a faster pace, but even the porters in charge of logistics picked up their weapons directly from the battlefield and began to pursue!
