Wang Xiangjun's trumpet sounded again, short and excited, and the sword and card players standing in the middle of the spearmen's column heard the sound, rushed out of the gap in the formation, raised the round shield in his hand over his head, and ran towards the bird commanders and archers who were holding their heads and running around. [No pop-ups. 】

In fact, they didn't need to run far, the position where the bird commander stood and fired the gun was at a distance of seventy or eighty steps from the Kuizhou soldier formation, and he could get out of the S range of the crossbow arrow by running a dozen steps behind, but the remaining bird commander had broken his gall, and he ran as fast as a rabbit, and the knife player took them on two hundred steps, and then held the shield and slowly retreated into the formation.

Wang Xiangtie's face was blue, looking at the panicked more than 100 birds, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and his eyes were bulging so much that they were about to protrude from their sockets.

Five hundred birds in command, how much money has been spent, saying that it is gone, how not to annoy people.

Especially the white-robed soldiers of Kuizhou on the opposite side, seeing the bird commander fleeing, the archers retreated, and also stopped the crossbow arrow S shot, and slowly ran out of dozens of people, picking up the bird tong that was thrown all over the ground with their hands and feet, and the person who was giggling was holding a bundle, and the elated appearance made people see more and more blood rushing to their heads.

"The front army is ready, the whole team is attacking!" Wang Xiang pulled a handful of armor pieces on his chest, loosened the neck guard that was tightly strangled around his neck, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The Chinese army followed, and the front army retreated and killed without mercy!" ”

The generals on the left and right were a little apprehensive, knowing that Deputy General Wang was in the flesh and blood, and he had to do it desperately.

But the crossbow arrows on the opposite side are fierce, everyone can see that there are at least more than two thousand crossbowmen waiting for the strings, and the wave of S strikes that are as dense as raindrops just now is terrible enough, at this time, if you let the foot soldiers line up, isn't it stupid?

"My lord, no!" The generals also didn't care about touching Wang Xiang's scales, and persuaded one after another: "The barbarian's crossbow arrows are fierce, don't rush hard, otherwise it will increase the number of casualties and ruin my plan!" ”

"What then?" Wang Xiang glared and said, "Just spend it with them?" ”

"This ......" The generals were speechless, and the Kuizhou soldiers on the opposite side made it clear that they were bullying you with bows and crossbows and firearms that were not as good as him, and they were waiting for you to attack, and if you didn't come, he wouldn't move, and if you came, you would wait for the rain of arrows, and whoever was on would become a hinged pig.

In this situation, the wiser way is to use cannons, put a few Furlong cannons, and shoot a few shots, no matter what strong bow and crossbow you have, you can be bombarded into scum, and a cannonball is a bloody road, if the Kuizhou soldiers stand still, wait to become cannon fodder.

But Wang Xiang was in a hurry when he set off, and he didn't bring the bulky items like a gun carriage at all, otherwise it would be impossible to travel seventy miles a day.

There was an old general who saw that all his colleagues lowered their heads and thought helplessly, and Wang Xiang's face became darker and darker, and he was about to burst out at any time, so he had to lick his mouth and stepped forward and said: "My lord, the enemy's crossbow arrows are very fierce, and the effect of letting the soldiers rush will not be very good, not that the brothers are afraid of death, but it is really not cost-effective, the soldiers are all the family of adults, and the foundation of adults will be unstable in the future." ”

The generals raised their heads when they heard the sound and cast a look of admiration at him, sure enough, the old man is seeking a country, and experienced people speak differently, and the same meaning is said as if they are thinking about Wang Xiang.

As soon as Wang Xiang was said this, his head that was so angry that his blood vessels were about to burst immediately calmed down, in this era, everything can be lost, soldiers cannot be lost, and if there are no soldiers, there will be no capital, and some of Zeng Ying's subordinates are staring at their positions.

Although the front army is a miscellaneous soldier, it is also a soldier, and it is a pity to go to death in vain, as soon as he thought of this, Wang Xiang loosened the reins of the horse that were pinched and crackled, settled down, rolled his eyes a few times, his brows were still wrinkled, and he said in a rough voice: "You are right, the Kuizhou soldiers may be waiting for Lao Tzu to send them to the door!" He has a lot of crossbow arrows, so Lao Tzu won't attack the front, Wang Gui! ”

An ironclad general standing behind him urged his horse forward, clasped his fists at him and shouted, "The last general!" ”

When the generals saw Wang Xiang call this person's name, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Gui was Wang Xiang's general, and he had five hundred personal guard cavalry, and if he was asked to come up, he would definitely use the cavalry to charge the formation, and he would not let his gang of foot soldiers rush in front again.

"You see, the front of the Kuizhou soldiers is solid, the spears are more than three zhang long, and there are crossbow arrows, the defense is tight, and the hard charge is unfavorable, but the flanks are weak, there is no shield, there is no horse rejection spear, only dozens of horseback riders are guarding, look at the posture, they are all some chicks who are not good at riding S." Wang Xiang used a long knife instead of his arm, pointed to the Kuizhou military formation in the distance, and said to Wang Gui in a deep voice: "Since the front cannot be rushed, then we will directly rush to the flank, the flank is chaotic, and the front will inevitably be unstable, do you understand?" ”

Wang Gui had already seen the battle just now, and he could see the formation of the Kuizhou soldiers clearly, as soon as Wang Xiang said it, he knew his intentions, and immediately shouted: "The last general understands, my lord, how to do the last general!" ”

Wang Xiang drew a semicircle with his long knife in the air, and said to Wang Gui: "This general ordered you to take five hundred cavalry to go around in a circle from the flank, run to the right flank of the barbarian army, and wait for the front army to press on and attract the barbarians. ”

Wang Gui was an outlaw, good at fighting and brave, listened to Wang Xiang's order, didn't even say a word, directly turned the horse's head with his fists, and led the cavalry team of the rear army.

Wang Xiang was very satisfied, and the other generals were also very satisfied, they were worried that the cavalry was Wang Xiang's old foundation, and they would easily refuse to use it, and it would be bad if they insisted on leading people up to charge the battle with crossbow arrows. It seems that Wang Xiang has made up his mind to fight quickly and defeat the barbarian army in front of him as soon as possible.

Wang Xiang glanced at the generals with happy faces, and snorted: "There are few barbarian soldiers, and the military horses here are probably their main force, as long as they are defeated, the battle behind them will be simple, you must not slack off, follow me and move forward bravely, you have your own benefits." ”

The generals didn't blush, they weren't ashamed that Wang Xiang had seen through their hearts, anyway, everyone was trying to save their lives and make a fortune, so the fools went to make the first bird, and they all said loudly: "I am willing to die with the army!" ”

So at the urging of Wang Xiang, the spearmen and sword players of the former army lined up in five columns, and the difference between the sword and card players was between the spearmen, covered with shields, and slowly walked forward.

On the side of the Kuizhou army, Wang Xiang took a handful of birds that he had just picked up from the battlefield from Zu Bian's hands, looked at them, and said with a smile: "Yes, although the quality of this bird system is poor, it is also usable." ”

Zu Bian hurriedly said: "Don't be picky, my lord, this kind of bird is all calculated, as long as the charge is controlled, there is no problem in firing hundreds of shots, this time I picked up more than 300 and made a lot of money!" ”

He is used to using firearms in Liaodong, and he has a special affection for the bird system, and he can't put it down with this long iron G.

Wang Huan threw the bird commander to him, and said with a restrained smile: "Don't be complacent, just now we thought that we had a calculation or an unintentionality, and hit Wang Xiang off guard, he never expected that there were so many crossbow arrows in our army, and we would break his bird commandery, and if he suffered, he must find the field, hurry back to the battle, and prevent him from attacking!" ”

Zu Bian agreed and hurriedly left.

As soon as Zu Bian left, Ma Wannian shouted on the side, he was tall and sharp-eyed, and at a glance he noticed the movement of the rear military horse team on the opposite side: "Look at it, look at it, the horse team is moving!" ”

Wang Huan and the others looked at each other, and between Wang Xiangjun's rear formation, a cloud of smoke and dust flew up, and the sound of horses' hooves rose, and the five hundred cavalry began to break away from the brigade and gallop along the edge of the battlefield to their right side.

"Urgently, are you going to move cavalry so soon?" Wang Huan squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said with a cold face: "The front of our army is not chaotic, the formation is strict, does his cavalry think that we are muddy?" ”

Ma Long stared at his eyebrows and roared: "My lord, my white-pole soldiers became famous by relying on the spear formation, as long as the Yan army is formed, Mongolia and Jianzhou Tartars are not in their eyes, these two-pole cavalry, just let them taste the power!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard the earth-shattering trumpets and drums sounding in Wang Xiang's army in front of him, and the drums rumbled, and Wang Xiang's front army, which was originally standing still, began to step forward and pressed over.

The same gunner was in front, and the spears of the five hundred people were pointed horizontally on the front, and the blades of the guns flashed and murderous, accompanied by the sound of "dong dong" war drums, like an iron wall pushing forward, step by step and steadily.

"The front is moving, too? Wang Xiang didn't seem to be dizzy. Wang Huan turned his head and glanced at the cavalry on the right again, the two sides were well coordinated, the speed of the cavalry's movement was interlocked with the pace of the frontal oppression, in this way, when Wang Xiang's front army* was close to a distance of about a hundred paces, the cavalry also happened to move to a position worthy of an attack.
