The archers in the back suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and the sword players in front were not having a good time, they put their shields on the ground, only guarding against the white-robed army who rushed forward, but they didn't expect disaster to fall from the sky.

After shooting this round of arrows, the first wave of white-robed troops stopped the trend of rushing forward, and turned around, leaving from the left and right directions, turning a big bend, and returning to the back of the third wave.

Before the officers and soldiers could react, the second wave of white-robed troops also came within range, and another round of arrows rained down.

After all, Zhang Yanchang has been in battle for a long time, and he quickly reacted, but his face was still impassive, but the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time to reveal the anger in his heart, and he said coldly: "Send ten personal soldiers out, shout, let the archers shoot arrows, no matter how far they can shoot, don't stop!" ”

"Yes, sir!" His own soldiers responded to the order and went separately to give orders.

Lian Zining's face was cloudy, and he also sent a personal soldier and said, "You go and say a word to Commander Chen, and ask him to prepare the giant shield axe soldiers." ”

At this time, many officers also came to relieve their strength, shouting loudly for the soldiers to shoot arrows. There was chaos in the infantry phalanx, and the soldiers opened their bows and arrows in a chaotic manner, but the effective killing range of the bows and arrows in the Ming season was only sixty paces, that is, close to 100 meters, and they could be shot no matter how far away, but the soldiers used light arrows, and the power could be imagined.

The white-robed army was very cunning, always keeping the distance at a distance of seventy paces, and they could shoot farther with their horsepower, but the archers of the officers and soldiers could not. Moreover, the positions of the archers are all behind the sword players, so they are even more out of reach, and most of the arrows shot out fell in the open space between the two armies, and did not cause much damage to the white-robed army!

In a panic, the third wave of the white-robed army had also been shot.

It's just that after this shot, the white-robed army did not retreat, but adjusted the formation on the spot, and began to accelerate wildly. Each arrow array was composed of about 100 people, and more than a dozen arrows stabbed viciously towards the infantry phalanx of officers and soldiers!

And behind these white-robed troops, the two waves of white-robed troops who retreated to the back also formed a charging battle formation, following behind the robes, charging rapidly.

Zhang Yanchang's face was pale, these white-robed traitors, the timing of the fighter was so accurate?

Lian Zining sneered slightly, Xiong Tingbi, is this your credit? The pillars of the country, as amazing as you, can you shine no matter which battlefield you are on?

I have to say that the timing of the 5,000 cavalry of the white-robed army to launch a charge was just right, and it was extremely spicy. Even a general who has fought an old war may not be able to seize this moment.

The three rounds of firing brought at least about 3,000 casualties to the officers and men of the three guards, and Pingshanwei, who was in the middle, suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the casualties were Pingshanwei's men. Compared with the casualties, what is even more serious is that the morale has been reduced to a freezing point, and by such a blow, the command system of the infantry phalanx has almost been disordered, not to mention the soldiers, even the officers are a little helpless. At this time, the archers were shooting arrows indiscriminately, the sword players were in disarray, and the defensive strength of the entire large array had been greatly reduced, and it was the best time to charge.

If it had been a little later, the officers would have been able to reorganize their defenses.

The position that the white-robed army chose to charge was Pingshan Wei, who was in the middle and the most seriously damaged!

Seventy steps, in a flash.

It's supposed to be the knife player at the forefront, but what is the knife player doing at this time? In order to guard against the feathered arrows on their heads, most of the knife players raised their shields and put them above their heads, and the whole person half-crouched behind the shield. After discovering that the white-robed army began to charge, they wanted to put it down again to block, but it was too late.

And there are many sword players, who were taken by the formation of thousands of troops and horses, and they actually screamed, threw the shields in their hands and fled back.

"Brothers, kill with me!" Tang Yidao, who has thousands of ugly words, raised the Mo knife in his hand, kicked the war horse under his crotch with both legs, and shouted in his mouth! Behind him were hundreds of white-robed soldiers who looked like crazy, with hideous faces, and shouted. This arrow is the fastest among all the charging white-robed troops, and the speed of the war horse has been increased to the peak, and this quick arrow is the first to be nailed into the phalanx of officers and soldiers!

Without the fierce collision of sharp spears and strong shields as imagined, this white-robed army was like chopping melons and vegetables, and it was easily inserted into the array of officers and soldiers!

"Kill!" Tang Yidao let out a burst scream, and the long-handled Mo knife in his hand slashed fiercely at a knife player who raised a shield to resist. The extremely sharp and heavy Mo knife first cut the shield in half, and then there was a muffled sound of the knife cutting into the flesh, cutting the knife player in two from the right shoulder to the left waist! Half of his body flew out, and blood and internal organs splattered out, splashing Tang Yidao's face all over his body, like a demon god.

Tang Yidao stuck out his tongue, licked the blood on his lips, smiled bitterly, and slashed the Mo knife in his hand, cutting off the head of an officer and soldier.

The war horse under his crotch is still sprinting, and the Mo knife in his hand is also non-stop, but in just a few breaths, more than a dozen officers and soldiers died under his knife!

Tang Yidao reached out and took out a piece of meat from the chain mail, it was dripping with blood, and he didn't know whether it was the muscles or organs of which officer and soldier he killed. Tang Yidao put this piece of raw meat into his mouth, and actually chewed it in a big mouth, and blood came out of the corner of his mouth, making him even more like a living person.

Seeing that this white-robed army general was so fierce and hideous, and even ate human flesh raw, the officers and soldiers around him were frightened, and when they shouted, they scattered and fled.

They were on the run, and Tang Yi didn't care about the knife, he just beat the horse and galloped, rushing forward to kill, his hand was up and down, and he was extremely ruthless. His eyes were already red, full of hatred and hideousness!

Tang Yidao was also born in a family of generals, the ancestors of the Tang family followed the Yongle Emperor Jingnan, several times born and died, after the war, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and was named the hereditary commander of Pingshanwei. In other words, the eldest son of his family is the future of the third product as soon as he is born! And the 5,600 soldiers of Pingshanwei are even more hereditary members of his Tang family! This kind of grace is rare in the country, the Tang family in Shandong stretches for a hundred years, in the entire north and south of Shandong military circles, forty-four guards, thirty-four thousand households in the hundreds of thousands of troops, is also a famous family!

The head of the Tang family of this generation is Tang Yidao, who has already been the commander of Zheng Sanpin for just three months of birth, and the future master of Pingshan Wei. But the good times did not last long, Zhengde's 30-year system was greatly reformed, the guard office was changed to a recruitment system, and the officers were changed to liuguan, and these hereditary generals all lost their hereditary power, and suddenly plummeted.

This does not have much impact on the Tang family, the senior officers who have been hereditary for more than 100 years have already made a lot of money, and it is better to return to be a rich man, besides, with the deep-rooted and intertwined power of the Tang family, are you afraid that you will really intervene in the army? It's easiest to get a job for your children.

However, Tang Yidao's father was upright and strict, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, which offended many Shangguan colleagues. One day, he got drunk at night and said a few words about the new deal, and another of them involved the heavenly family, so he was reported to Jinyiwei by a few of his colleagues! At that time, it was the most difficult time to implement the new policy, and it was also the most severe punishment, and he had already killed many officers who were openly and secretly obstructing, and Tang Yidao's father just hit the muzzle of the gun.

Tang Yidao's father criticized the heavenly family and blocked the new policy, which was a great crime of disrespect, and it was read on the merits of the Tang family for generations, and the family property was confiscated.

The glorious hundred-year-old family was scattered overnight, and there was no recovery, only Tang Yidao's mother took him who was only three years old to survive. At the beginning, several officers who denounced Tang Yidao's father are now in high positions in Pingshan Weizhong, and the family that was killed by the other party was ruined, so naturally the hatred was monstrous.

The war horse was galloping, Tang Yi was wielding a knife, and there was no one under him, and under his leadership, this white-robed army was already deeply inserted into the phalanx of officers and soldiers, a full twenty or thirty steps deep! Tang Yidao didn't know how many people he had killed along the way, even the white-robed army behind her, and everyone was bloody, and the people were drenched in blood on the horses. There are at least hundreds of officers and soldiers who have died under their hands, and there are dead bodies all around!

And his white-robed army, although it has penetrated deeply, has not yet exhausted its momentum, and it seems to be able to break through the phalanx of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop!

And behind him, on his side, more than a dozen large and small white-robed cavalry had already broken through. Not far behind Tang Yidao, Xiong Tingbi was holding a double axe, he was also an extremely brave general, personally leading the army to assault, and his speed was only one line slower than Tang Yidao.

Swords and guns were wielded, blood was shot everywhere, and the white-robed army used the advantage of cavalry to kill the officers and soldiers crying father and mother, and fled in all directions! At this time, more than a dozen white-robed armies had already stirred up Pingshanwei to a pulp, dividing and surrounding thousands of Pingshanwei's officers and soldiers. On both sides, Shenyang Zhongtunwei and Datong Zhongtunwei, because they received a small blow, prevented their forces from supporting Pingshanwei, and even tried to encircle and kill these white-robed cavalry trapped in the formation, but the 5,000-white-robed army had a great advantage in the local area, and how could the officers and soldiers shake it?

It is inevitable that the big array of Pingshan Wei will be broken through, it will only be sooner or later!

Whether it is Zhang Yanchang, Lian Zining, or Zhang Geng, Xiong Tingbi, and Qi Jiguang, they can all see it clearly.

And they also realize more clearly that victory and defeat are here! As long as it breaks through the formation of Pingshanwei, the army chiseles this phalanx into a side, and then the cavalry kills behind the infantry phalanx, reorganizes the team, covers the killing, and divides and surrounds, then the 13,000 infantry of the three guards are doomed to a dead end!

And if these infantry are lost, the strength of the officers and soldiers will be greatly damaged, and they will no longer pose a threat to the white-robed army!

The imperial court dispatched troops again, and it didn't know how much time it would take, and by using this time, the white-robed army would be able to grow stronger and stronger, and it would be even more difficult to deal with when the time came!

Neither side expected that the battle had only begun for less than half an hour, and it had already entered the most critical white-hot stage!

Zhang Yanchang didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so vulnerable, and Zhang Geng didn't expect the assault to be so smooth.

Zhang Yanchang is really a person who has experienced a big scene, but at this time, he calmed down and gave orders in an orderly manner:

"Order Wu Yi Army, Shenwu Right Guard, stop the enemy a hundred steps behind the Pingshan Guard, and definitely not let the enemy break through! If you can't do it, military law will do it! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

"Order Wang Qianhu, Zhao Tongzhi, lead the cavalry to kill from the flanks and cut off the back road of the cavalry of the white-robed army! Tell them that if there is a white-robed army to rescue, they will resist the commander to the death, and the two of you will each bring ten people, stay there to supervise the battle, and if the two of them are afraid of the enemy and dare to retreat, they will be killed immediately! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

After giving the order, Zhang Yanchang looked at the phalanx of Wu Yijun not far away with complicated eyes, and said secretly: "If you become a king or lose a villain, it depends on whether your Wu Yijun can stop it!" ”

"It's done!" Seeing that the white-robed army smashed into the array of officers and soldiers like a knife cutting butter, all the way like a bamboo, even if the young man and the old man were like Zhang Geng, he couldn't help but raise his arms and shout!

Looking at the others, they were also excited, and in the array of the army, bursts of cheers erupted.

Qi Jiguang frowned, his face was worried, staring at the battle situation in the distance, without saying a word.

"Haha, thanks to the bow and arrow and clever plan of the military advisor! If it weren't for the 5,000 pairs of bows and arrows of the military advisor, if it weren't for the military advisor's clever calculation, it wouldn't be so easy! Zhang Genghaha said to Qi Jiguang with a smile, and after seeing the expression on Qi Jiguang's face, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, put away the smile on his face, and said, "Military Division, what's wrong?" ”

Everyone was also extremely convinced of Qi Jiguang, and when they heard the words, they all looked at him, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

"Look, Great Chief." Qi Jiguang pointed to the two sides that were sticking together: "The cavalry on both wings of the officers and soldiers has moved, and the cavalry on both wings has two thousand each, which can easily cut off the retreat of our five thousand cavalry." In this way, as long as the infantry of the officers and soldiers resists for a while, our 5,000 cavalry will never return! ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Zhang Geng laughed: "There are officers and soldiers, so don't we have any?" Sixth Uncle Qin, Qian Dayong, you each lead 2,000 people, entangle those two cavalry, so that they can't succeed! ”

"Yes, Grand Chief!"

The two of them took the order and left, and after a while, the two large groups of cavalry rushed out wildly and killed them on the battlefield.

Lian Zining had already made preparations, after Tang Yidao rushed into the Pingshanwei phalanx, he realized that something was wrong, and selected ten spearmen of a hundred households, and after receiving the order, he immediately took these spearmen to the place about a hundred steps behind the Pingshanwei array.

Wu Yijun and Shenwu Right Guard were very close to each other, and Chen Dakang quickly led people to arrive.

Too late to be polite, Lian Zining stared at Chen Dakang and said straight to the point: "Brother Chen, can you trust your brother?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Dakang was displeased, blew his beard and glared, "How can my brother be such a suspicious person?" ”

"Good!" Lian Zining said: "Then the old brother will listen to his brother's command this time, how about it?" ”

"This?" Chen Dakang hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I listen to my brother!" ”

Even Zining couldn't care about the dissatisfied looks of the officers behind Chen Dakang, and arched his hand: "That brother has trespassed!" ”

He ordered: "Brother Chen, there are not too many people in the second line of defense here, brother wants five hundred giant shield axes in your hands!" These 500 giant shield axemen and the 1,000 spearmen of the younger brother are here, enough to use! The rest of the Shenwu Right Guard will all be moved to the left front of the defensive line, and my Wu Yi Army will be in the right front of the defensive line! ”

Lian Zining showed a hideous smile on his face: "As long as the giant shield axe soldiers and spearmen block it, we will attack immediately on both sides and stab him in the waist!" ”

Chen Dakang is also in charge of military affairs, and after listening to Lian Zining's plan, his face suddenly changed, and his face showed an excited, excited, and incredible look: "Brother, who are you?" Want to give these white-robed soldiers? ”

His voice was a little trembling, and everyone behind him looked at Lian Zining with disbelief on their faces, they couldn't imagine that this young general would come up with such a bold and even crazy plan at such a critical moment!
