The battlefield on the north bank of the vortex is called Lijiapo.

On the 19th of August, the disturbing situation of the previous days suddenly became quiet, and the cavalry of both sides repeatedly retreated, and there was no more bloody battle, and both sides reined in the reins of their horses and exercised the utmost restraint. Although the sky was so clear that not even a trace of clouds could be seen, it always made people feel like a trace of black clouds were pressing down on the city, and the frozen air seemed to fill the chest. There seemed to be a faint smell of fish in the air, this was the smell of death, the scythe of death had begun to wave, and countless human lives would be harvested like wheat in the coming days. Although the soldiers on both sides are usually confused, they also feel the so-called tension at the moment, and the toilets in the camp are now actually starting to line up. Hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other on both sides of the whirlpool, and both sides maintained an unusually quiet atmosphere, neither of which was willing to say a word out loud or take a breath out loud.

As if feeling this oppressive atmosphere, the always clear vortex water began to become turbid, and the vigilant cavalry arranged around began to make frequent contact with the opponent's outposts, and countless chasing battles exploded, but before the real battle exploded, the pursuit restrained and chose to retreat. The big war is coming, the most important thing is to keep the information unimpeded, let yourself be unscrupulously entangled, will only cause unnecessary danger to the army, for these seasoned soldiers, although merit is important, but victory is the most important.

The black clouds are overwhelming, the collision of the two monsters is inevitably coming, and even the most sluggish villagers have stopped moving their property, and before the arrival of the army, they can still escape, and now that the two sides are about to catch fire. If you still go to escape the famine, it will become a small wave in the wave of the collision of large armies.

On the north bank of the vortex, the Jiaozhou battalion has set up camp and is quietly waiting for the collision to come. The camping place chosen by Li Meng. It is the only area around this area that can be suitable for the operation of the army, and it is also the only place where a large-scale battle can be born, and it is the only village in the lower reaches of Taikang County on the north bank of the vortex Sanwang Temple. Although it is a deserted village, it also shows that this is the only place suitable for people to live, and there is a barely passable bridge mixed with civil engineering. There are many soldiers and horses in the army, and they must march along the rivers and official roads, and Li Meng is waiting for them at this point

Lijiapo on the south bank of the whirlpool, a small village that has been dilapidated for many years, is less than forty miles away from the Three Kings Temple. Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai set up camp here, and the horses entered and exited the village like flowing water, and they brought all kinds of military information, ranging from the maneuver of an army of 10,000 people, to a few fences in a certain place, taking away the notes of the dance of the command of hundreds of thousands of troops, although it was dilapidated. However, the focus of the whole of China is gathered here.

In the ancestral hall at the east entrance of the village, a few tables were temporarily set up, covered with a mess of maps. The young and capable officers kept coming in and out, and a few middle-aged people were screaming hoarsely, and they kept writing on the map the ghost drawing symbols that only they knew, well, ghost drawing symbols, which could not be called words at all, because most of them were illiterate, and what they wrote down was only symbols that were convenient for their own memory.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, several bonfires were lit and marching pots were hung. Two middle-aged men in their thirties with unshaven beards squatted beside the campfire, talking softly, one wearing an old arrow coat and a coarse felt coat with four or five patches on one collar, and the other wearing a fine red satin robe. The boots under the feet are also high-quality official court boots. These two people don't look at how they don't match. But he squatted like the most common old farmer in northern Shaanxi, as if this was the hot kang in his hometown. This harsh environment seems to affect the mood at all.

The old one, with a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of hot water from the pot and poured it into the bowl of the man in fancy clothes opposite, a broken pottery bowl with three missing mouths, and the tea brewed in it was black, and the leaves were very rough and broken, and it looked like the kind of broken leaves that cost three or five cents and a tael. The man in the fancy costume didn't pay attention to it, he took it up and drank it gurglingly, wiped his mouth after drinking, wiped off the tea foam on his beard by the way, and said: "Damn, speaking of which, my old Luo has also drunk a few taels of silver and a couple of thieves and birds before the rain and what a well, but he can't drink any taste, how can he be similar to these big sons one or two." Lao Li, tell me, those official masters, why are they so good. An old man turned out to be Li Zicheng, the king of several provinces, he laughed, and he scooped up the water himself, and responded: "We are all poor lives, cheap lives, and we can't afford that good thing, but you can be regarded as blessed, the eight generations of ancestors combined, and the mother-in-law who has slept with you is not as much as you." ”

As soon as he talked about this meat joke, Lao Luo Rucai became excited, and bragged about it, last time he broke the mansion city, and slept with the prefect lady, how white he was, how the rich little wife, how soft, but he nagged a lot, but complained that when Li Zicheng broke Luoyang, he didn't leave him a few county lords' daughters, so that our old Luo's mud legs could taste the taste of royal daughters, golden branches and jade leaves.

Just as the two biggest thief chieftains who were disturbing the Central Plains were still drinking tea and chatting, a middle-aged man rushed out of the ancestral hall and came to them.

"King Chuang, King Cao, something happened, then Li Meng's ......."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop, but he finished drinking the tea slowly, stood up slowly, and said slowly:

"Fang Liang, the commander of the army, you must have your own city and government bearing, what's the matter, don't be so babbling, you are in such a hurry, you are not in a hurry at this moment, you save so much time, the enemy soldiers can't beat it, you take a good breath, slowly explain clearly, what did you spend more."

Luo Rucai also helped beside him: "Liu Fangliang, you are ***, what are you bluffing, I am so scared that Lao Tzu is choking, even if the sky falls, he will not be able to fall for a while, even if he falls, it is Lao Tzu who is the first to top, you kid is in a hurry." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then bent down to report carefully, who would have thought that he had just said half of it, but Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai couldn't sit still, Luo Rucai jumped up and smashed the bowl directly on the ground. but splashed Li's self-made scum.

Li Ziyuan was also anxious to stand up, but he was splashed like this, but he put the bowl down, and then slowly stood up. Grabbed Liu Fangliang's wrist and said, "Fangliang, let's go in and discuss, you go and convene the generals and the military council." ”

Half an hour later, the main hall of the ancestral hall was already filled with people, and the people gathered here were all generals commanding thousands of people at the very least, at this moment. But they all stared at the map on the table silently, and Liu Fangliang had already told the Xindi military situation in detail just now. The big guys are all old military affairs, this kind of thing, the layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, the military situation that Liu Fangliang said is actually very crude. But the master couldn't hide it, and everyone saw the urgency of the situation from this point.

Originally, I thought that there were only more than 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers of Chen Liu, the garrison of the Jiaozhou battalion, and the dust and smoke were not visible, and the soldiers and horses were not in a hurry. Let the Shun army greatly underestimate the strength of the troops in front of him - most of them are still unreliable local tyrants, such a tattered soldier, staying around the city, can still defend the land, let him pull out the field, I am afraid that he will cross by himself, let alone quickly intersperse dozens of miles to the north bank of the vortex river to stand by here. Who would have thought that the news came from the desperate work of Xi Zuo was that Li Meng personally commanded an army of 20,000 had arrived, and he suddenly went out to the only place where the army could be deployed. Seized the favorable terrain.

If the intruding army had known the news earlier, and had advanced quickly with light troops, crossed the vortex river quickly, and occupied the key points, it would have easily deployed a large army, led Li Meng's main force in the front, and then divided the troops to outflank it. But in the end, the army is helping the old and the young, and there are too many jars and jars. The new recruits are also mixed. So we had to march cautiously. The cautiousness of the intruders gave them too much time to reach the south bank of the whirlpool. If they go around from the east of the Jiaozhou battalion, it is too close to the border of Nanzhili, and the brigade of officers and soldiers stationed there will inevitably be delayed in order to avoid danger on the flanks, and the water system is relatively complicated; If you go around from the west, Chen Yongfu and Yang Wenyue in Kaifeng City are still quite powerful, if you go anywhere, the flanks are also unsafe, there is a danger of being flanked by Kaifeng City and Zhecheng on both sides, and once you make a detour, Li Meng can rely on the river to resist, and on both wings he is in a complete internal combat situation, and you can easily use the convenient road to meet the tired roundabout troops.

No matter how you go around, the distance is a little far, and there is still the danger of being flanked. Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai thought about it and discussed repeatedly, but they could only go down the whirlpool in Taikang County and face to face with the officials and soldiers.

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, everyone did not expect that Li Meng's movements were so godly, within a few days, he actually transferred the army from Shandong to Guide so quickly, and marched so quickly to occupy the battlefield. No matter how many soldiers there are, they must be deployed, and the more soldiers there are, the more troublesome they will be. I originally thought that although the soldiers and horses in Shandong were some elite, after all, there were not many, who knew that the army was mobilized so quickly, you must know that this kind of army, if it does not run scattered, it must be an elite division. Now that the initiative has been lost, the two leaders need to make a decision on where the army goes.

A young man couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the hall, stood up and said loudly: "Father, Uncle Luo, we are now leading hundreds of thousands of troops out, then Li Meng is only thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, and Shandong soldiers and horses have never had any battle formations, although the firearms are sharp, we may not be able to let them shoot." The child was happy and pleaded for his life, led a soldier, crossed the river from the upstream, and copied off their side, the whirlpool river was not as shallow as waist as it was, and the father and Uncle Luo beat the drum head-on, and it was not a problem to level it in one fell swoop. ”

The young man who accosted him was Li Zicheng's adopted son Li Shuangxi, that is, Li Guo, who was a newcomer in the army, but since he led the team, he has been invincible in the army, and he never thought that there would be any obstacles to the army with tens of thousands of people.

At this time, he heard a cold snort from the ancestral hall, it turned out that Hao Shaoqi came back from the front quickly, and just now he heard Li Shuangxi speak outside the door, he has never liked these young people, and he has suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Meng, so he naturally wants to express it.

He has a very high status, even if Li Shuangxi is the adopted son of King Chuang, there is no need to be afraid. He didn't talk to these people, he just sat down, and talked to Li Zicheng and Cao Cao about the military situation on the front line.

At the beginning of the military discussion, Li Zicheng's eyebrows were a little wrinkled, but now when he heard Hao Shaoqi say this, he was more and more screwed together. Cao Cao kept tapping his fingers on the tabletop, and a vague voice came from his mouth: Li Jiapo, Li Jiapo......

After the military discussion, the intrusive army still advanced. The sequence of marching armies is constantly changing. With the Sanwang Temple as the axis, the troops continued to leave the official road and spread out to the two wings, and the follow-up troops continued to replenish, while the elite soldiers of the old battalion began to move closer to the direction of the official road, and the army had given up the marching army column and turned into a combat state. However, in such an early deployment, a large number of troops had to advance in the field. The march was slower.

The vanguard of the army was more than 40,000 people led by Hao Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu, and Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai followed with a large army, and they began to go south along the river from Taikang County, and they could see cavalry running back and forth on the other side of the river, which was obviously the exploration of the horses of the officers and soldiers.

Anyway, the two sides are going to war in a dignified manner. Li Meng has already set up a decisive battle, and the Shun army must also respond. Looking at the movements of the officers and soldiers, there was no action of intercepting or ambushing in advance, as if they were recuperating and waiting for the frontal battle with peace of mind.

The general who broke into the army, Tian Mixiu. The qualifications are very old, don't look at the listless appearance when deliberating, and usually wilt, that is a ruthless character who crawled out of the pile of dead people with the king of Chuangwang across several provinces, and when it comes to this big war, the state is much more alert, but he is quite self-aware, and he knows that he is planning and leading troops to fight, which is really too far worse than this Hao Shaoqi. Everything is based on this Hao waving the flag.

But Hao Shaoqi's state when he was about to fight was quite strange, it turned out that when King Chuang took his subordinates to ride alone, Hao Shaoqi was still brave and full of confidence.

The general of the breaking army, the only soldier and horse that can make them fearful, that is, the Qin army led by the governor Sun Chuanting and the governor Hong Chengchou, although these border soldiers in Shaanxi are not much better than other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but they are expensive in many battles over the years. The officers and soldiers who pacified the chaos were different. The border soldiers of Shaanxi fought non-stop with the Mongolian Tatars in the west, and trained a quite elite army of soldiers and horses.

Several times the army was defeated. It is all the credit of these Shaanxi border soldiers, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou also have a certain cohesion in terms of food and salary.

But later, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were transferred to Gongwei in Beijing, and the Qin army also followed, and these Shaanxi veterans who stayed in Shaanxi suddenly collapsed and dispersed, and waited until Fu Zonglong entered Shaanxi to collect the border soldiers, and then they regrouped, but this gathered the Qin army, Fu Zonglong couldn't get food and salary, and the morale of the army was completely gone.

Fu Zonglong's death had no effect, but most of the Shaanxi border soldiers who were scattered were collected by the breaking army, and in the breaking camp, relying on the accumulation of those official gentry's mansions, the backbone veterans could still eat enough, and Li Zicheng and his generals naturally knew the value of these Shaanxi border soldiers.

And Cao Cao Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses are also based on the scattered border soldiers of Shaanxi and Shanxi as the backbone, after the merging of the two armies, the major generals who broke into the camp are confident that the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty is already in their own hands, and it is no longer a goal to run rampant in Henan, and the world is in front of you.

With such strength in hand, the alliance under the city that day naturally does not have to be obeyed now, this Shandong soldiers and horses look at some strength, it is better to take this opportunity to swallow it in one go, wouldn't it be a great thing.

Starting from getting close to the opponent's position, Tian Jianxiu's arrangement was that it was better to let the cavalry wade into the water, advance quickly along the shallow water and shore on the north bank, and when he arrived at the position, he would directly go ashore to attack, which was much better than wading into the water to attack, let the opponent arrange the defense, and then attack.

But Hao Shaoqi rejected this idea, one mile away from the river bank, the Tanma searched within ten miles, and advanced slowly, even if he arrived at the bank, he had to camp within a certain range of the bank, and he had to choose the back road in advance.

Tian Jianxiu had heard of the strength of Shandong's soldiers and horses, but he didn't think too much about the other party, watching Hao Shaoqi arrange the position in the back, he didn't let go of every detail, and arranging the defense of the soldiers and horses was already a bit perverted

Tian Jianxiu is two years older than Hao Shaoqi, but Hao Shaoqi's bravery and ruthlessness are beyond his reach, but today's performance makes Tian Jianxiu a little hot, and the other side is not a heavenly soldier, why be careful like this.

He simply ignored Hao Shaoqi, who was still arranging defense there, and ran to the position by the river with a dozen of his own soldiers to look.

The whirlpool has changed from clear to turbid because of the water taken by the army and the large number of people and horses passing back and forth, although the officers and troops on the opposite side arrived four days earlier than their own homes, but this south bank. And there is no arrangement of fortifications in the water, don't underestimate the hundreds of thousands of horses taking water and drinking water upstream, the whirlpool in the area of Lijiapo, the runoff is already quite small. Some of the small stones were already exposed.

He led a dozen of his own soldiers to observe here, and he was also cautious, but there was no movement when he looked at the opposite side, only a few cavalrymen circled around the river and turned back.

Seeing the layout on the opposite side, Tian Jianxiu also scolded in his heart, it is indeed a tricky terrain, the area on the opposite bank that can carry out field battles has been occupied by the official army, and if you break into the camp, you have to attack. You still have to wade through the water, and you can't maintain a normal step and formation when you cross this river, and then the other party can wait for work and strike head-on.

If it weren't for the dense and strange fortifications of the other party, Tian Jianxiu would not have felt that there was a slope on the opposite side anyway, and the whirlpool was almost a hundred steps wide, a hundred steps away. At a distance of about twenty paces ashore, there began to be fortifications of Shandong soldiers and horses.

The ground is indeed strange, it should have been dug trenches and set up a one-zhang high sheep and horse wall, but the Shandong soldiers and horses only used an inverted triangular wooden fence, almost a person-high wooden frame.

Such a simple wooden fence is separated by a certain distance. Just put a column, except for the first column, the rest of the middle is a passage, almost in the fifth column of the position can be seen piled up four earthen platforms, on the earthen platform placed on the artillery, you can see behind this wooden fence faintly holding spears soldiers walking, the wooden fence is almost a dozen columns, until the top, according to the position of the banner analysis, the camp should be further behind.

See the grates and the spears. Tian Jianxiu could almost think of his soldiers rushing through the whirlpool and coming to the front of the upside-down triangular wooden fence, wanting to climb or move away, but the officers and soldiers inside stabbed out with spears, and countless soldiers fell in front of it, not to mention the wooden fence with more than a dozen columns.

However, Tian Jianxiu also felt relieved, and he encountered the enemy, and he was not afraid of the enemy. I'm afraid of the enemy's attack. There are many ways to attack, and it is necessary to see the moves. And the opponent defends and attacks by himself, then you can play a lot of tricks, anyway, the opponent can only be beaten passively.

Moreover, this offensive and defensive posture is also a reaction to the courage of the army, and the key to the victory over defeat is not to see how complete the equipment is, but to see the courage of the soldiers.

It shows that the soldiers and horses of Shandong have no courage to fight at all, and only want to stop the attack on their side, such cowardice and cowardice do not seem to be as terrible as Hao Shaoqi said.

Tian Jianxiu saw this, looked back at Hao Shaoqi, who was still busy, and felt that Lao Hao's sharpness had been almost exhausted by this sudden change for the better.

"Zhang Shi, you tell some brothers to wade through this river, see if there is any problem, be careful, don't be hit by the other party!"

One of his personal soldiers heard the order on the side, and agreed loudly, since it was the personal soldier of the general of the breaking army, the courage was not small, and Zhang Shi cautiously waded towards the opposite side.

The reaction of the Shandong position over there was still lifeless, or a few cavalrymen went to the shore to look around, and did not make any moves, these soldiers who crossed the river were already on guard, but seeing the movements of these cavalry, their courage immediately slowly became bigger.

These rebellious soldiers, especially these backbones, had no scruples in their hearts, and when they saw the other side cowering like this, they immediately shouted loudly and laughed.

Tian Jianxiu stared at the feet of their soldiers who went to the river, and saw that although they landed cautiously, there were no stumbles, the deepest part of the vortex was only about the knees, and the cavalry on the opposite side did not move, and the officers and military fortifications behind did not react.

The dozen or so soldiers had been walking to a distance of four or five paces from the north shore, and the cavalry on the shore could have hit them even if they picked up a stone and smashed it.

Zhang Shi and these people didn't dare to move forward any further, and the distance of four or five steps ahead could be roughly distinguished, and there would indeed be no fortifications based on horses.

Now there are a few more people around Tian Jianxiu who is standing on the south bank, one of them is Hao Shaoqi, he looked at the layers of fortifications on the opposite side, his face was gloomy as if it was going to rain. And under Tian Jianxiu, it was the Chen Erhu who almost broke into the military horse team.

"There is nothing in the river that hurts people and horses, Erhu, the hundreds of people and horses you were also directly crossing the river at that time. Trouble no. ”

Hearing Tian Jianxiu ask, the general said solemnly:

"The river is not deep, and the bottom of the water is quite flat, so it was very convenient to go back and forth at that time, but it has been four or five days, and I don't know what has changed."

The group of people also took the stone when they saw it, and jumped in the water and ran back, looking at it this way, there was really no arrangement in the water. The corners of Tian Jianxiu's mouth were already smiling, such a shallow river water had no effect on the cavalry and foot soldiers, it was equivalent to a hundred steps between the two sides of the flat ground.

"This officer and soldier is so arranged, but there is some intention to lead us to attack, we must be cautious, don't fall for the evil of these official dogs!"

Hao Shaoqi said angrily on the side. Tian Jianxiu frowned slightly, Hao Shaoqi was knowledgeable and ruthless, this previous impression had faded a lot in his heart, but what Hao Shaoqi said was also reasonable, the part of the official and military camp facing each other was extremely layered and complete. If you attack hard, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

But would such an opponent on the other side who has no will to fight have the extra mind to do such a game? You must know that in the battle with Hao Shaoqi, it is said that the Shandong soldiers and horses have been pressing Hao Shaoqi to attack, why did they shrink up today. After thinking about it for a long time, I could only think of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the other party was afraid to break into the camp.

The difference in numbers is too obvious, and the other party does not dare to attack, so he can only defend according to the camp.

Hao Shaoqi's discouragement made the dominance of these tens of thousands of forward troops obviously in the hands of Tian Jianxiu, Tian Jianxiu looked at the terrain on both sides of the official army camp opposite, it was indeed not suitable for crossing the river to fight, and the battlefield was firmly grasped by the other party.

Period of observation. Chen Erhu, who had not spoken up, said coldly:

"We have a lot of soldiers, and we are not afraid of death."

Hearing his words, Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, 500,000 horses, the military force that can be called the core is almost 100,000 people, Shaanxi border soldiers, old brothers, and the backbone of each department. The rest are cannon fodder with a strong voice.

Follow the camp. It is true that there is a bite to eat of these cannon fodder, but since it is called cannon fodder. These people are consumables, at the beginning of the beginning, the camp was indeed a rebellion of poor people in order to survive, everyone was brothers to each other, life and death together.

But over the years of birth and death, people have been dying, and new blood has been joining in, and now the Li and Luo coalition is a military group, and he is indeed an organization that gathers displaced people and leads everyone to survive, but everything is to serve the fundamental purpose of this military group.

Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi were loyal characters who killed their wives and Li Zicheng in the Yubelly Mountains that day, and they naturally did not have any mercy for such cold-blooded and cold-blooded people.

On August 22, the army that broke into the camp in the morning arrived at the opposite side of Lijiapo, and the generals of the Jiaozhou battalion and Li Meng watched the arrangement on the opposite side at the top of the slope.

The intruding army did not charge and never fired, this was a death order to the firearms soldiers below, looking at the few horses on the other side of the river stopped, and also saw those soldiers who laughed and provoked to cross the river, but except for a few cavalrymen who went out and pretended, the Jiaozhou battalion has always been forbearant and did not react.

"Waiting like this, it's really a nest, handsome, it's not that we can't beat these thieves, why endure it so much, it's better to fight one by one......"

Chen Liu, a fierce general, couldn't stand such a shrinkage at all, and he knew the intention of doing so, but he still felt breathless, Li Meng looked at the opposite scene with a clairvoyant mirror, and he couldn't see it clearly at a certain distance, only knowing that the other party's camping point was far away from the riverbank. He replied aloud as he looked at it:

"This time the thieves came so carefully, step by step, if this striker you will hurt him, with the temper of Li Chuang and Cao Cao, he will soon retract, we can move in Henan, that is, Guide Mansion and along the Yellow River, if he runs away, how to teach him a lesson."

Li Meng exhaled and said to Chen Liu with a smile:

"Chen Liu, you shouted to fight one by one, the commander of your horse team was almost eaten by the thief's cavalry, there are so many people on the other side, it should be us who are careful!"

500 cavalry against 500 cavalry, the local tyrant army of the servants was scattered and killed and wounded. Even the regular cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion died dozens of people, and this kind of result is almost the second time since the establishment of the Jiaozhou battalion army, such emotions have been reflected to Li Meng's side through various channels, and they are directly taken out today.

Chen Liu's face suddenly turned red. Zhang Jiang's face next to him is also not good-looking, the Huaiyang Army and the Yanzhou Army Ground Horse Team, in the so-called battlefield shielding and mutual interception and killing battles, suffered a lot, but what can really be called a failure, and the scale is worth mentioning, is the fight by the river.

"The marshal, the last general is not good for governing the army, after the war, please punish the marshal according to military regulations......"

"It has nothing to do with your army. That day, I called a few people and asked, these hundreds of cavalry by the river were very calm, I am afraid that they are the so-called Shaanxi veterans, and the most difficult thing is these people. ”

"Marshal, that general Yang Zhan made a big mistake, after this battle is over, he will march the military law." Li Meng laughed a few times. He stared at Chen Liu narrowly, and said with a smile:

"Do you want to intercede with him, although it is a shame to lose the battle, I didn't scare the thieves away, but. Hold a firearm for the cavalry, make these people stupid, the cavalry is a man with a sword, take the firearm and dismount what he intends to do...... Yang Zhan is also a veteran...... Let him lead his cavalry this time and charge ahead! ”

The mortality rate in the lead is very high, but the chance of meritorious atonement is also very high, Li Meng's conclusion is indeed a mercy, Chen Liuda was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

That's when it happened. There was a sudden loud noise on the south bank of the whirlpool, and even Li Meng and the others could hear it clearly on the hillside where they were, and the generals on the hillside stopped talking, and they all diverted their attention, Li Meng took a few looks at the clairnel and said with a smile:

"It seems that this striker is going to hurt today, everyone, go and arrange the battle everywhere!"

The crowd took the command in unison. Each ran to the predetermined position. The firearms position in front of the mountain was supervised by Zhang Jiang, while Chen Liu and Tang Er were in the barracks behind the fortifications.

Countless displaced people rushed to the shore of the whirlpool. These homeless people are all holding a container of soil, many of them are wrapped in soil with clothes, shirtless, and each of them has a very fanatical look on their faces, staring at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side of the fortifications with the same eyes.

In the camp, these homeless people at least went from starving to death to having a bite to eat, and in this hellish world, it was already a great happiness to have something to eat.

These poor men who don't even have shoes don't even know that they are cannon fodder, but for this meal, this cannon fodder should be done, if they can survive in the life of cannon fodder, maybe they will have a very good improvement, maybe they can eat enough, if they go to the next level, maybe they can also make the whole family full.

Usually, even if you want to have this kind of opportunity to be cannon fodder, but now that you have such an opportunity, everyone is very excited, death is death, such a world, death may not be a kind of happiness and relief.

The south bank was noisy, and the figures shook between the rows of wooden fences on the north bank, and the soldiers who were originally arranged were just guards, but at this time there was really a police, and a large number of soldiers waiting in the camp quickly ran into the enrichment, ready for the battle.

"Bump" a trumpet, has been waiting by the river for a long time the homeless people have thrown the soil bags in their arms into the water, for a time the water splashed, the homeless people who threw the soil turned around and ran back, and the follow-up people followed, and so on, the soil bags were constantly thrown into the water.

The army actually wants to fill the river! The hundred-step-wide river, they actually wanted to fill it, and some of the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion behind the wooden fence on the opposite side couldn't help laughing.

The firecrackers were laughing, and even the non-commissioned officers couldn't help but laugh, which was too whimsical.

But then no one can laugh, nearly 10,000 people rotate to fill the river, some people dig the soil, some people take the soil is quickly stepped forward and fell into the river, after all, this is the workload of tens of thousands of people, you can see the whirlpool because of the drought and the upstream water, the river itself is not deep, the deepest is only over the knees, and the water flow is not fast.

Such a large amount of earthwork filled into the river, and a piece of land nearly a hundred steps wide could be seen quickly approaching the north bank......

"Reload the ammo, check the arquebus!!"

Almost every non-commissioned officer in the wooden fence was shouting hoarsely, although according to this degree, it would take half an hour to get closer, but this crazy scene really put a huge pressure on people's hearts and made people tremble.

Zhang Jiang strode between the wooden fences, he didn't say a word, and the soldiers who followed him would repeat his words and shout out loudly:

"Hold on, the thieves will fight within fifty steps, don't panic, you are behind the fortifications, you have your comrades by your side, they are just some fools and madmen, just fight according to your usual shooting practice!"

The homeless people on the side of the intrusion army were still frantically filling in the earth, but soldiers with bows, arrows, and firearms began to be mixed in.

The homeless people who filled in the earth kept moving, and few people noticed that there were people shooting bows and arrows from behind the wooden fence on the shore in front of them.

But the arrow was not rushing to fill the earth, but fell into the river with a high hanging, and it was shot at intervals with a bow.

The arrow always seemed to fall within a similar range, and since it did not kill anyone, the outcasts who broke into the camp ignored it, and still swarmed forward.
