"Good!" After a long time, Lian Zining applauded and laughed: "General Tang can be called invincible!" ”

The rest of the people were also amazed.

"Your Excellency, you have praised it falsely, and the last general will not dare to be." Tang Yidao has no humble words, he is a newly surrendered general, so he naturally has to show something in order to be recognized in this group. The right arrow does not mean to show off, but it is also clear that at this time, it is absolutely impossible to show the meaning of frivolity, otherwise it will be disgusting.

"All right, guys." Looking at the chaos on the city wall, Lian Zining laughed: "General Tang's arrow, greatly raising the prestige of our army, now let's turn back to Henan and prepare to face the white-robed traitors!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone obeyed the order, but it was more sincere.

Next, Lian Zining ordered the chain bridge to be destroyed, the chains were sunk to the bottom of the water, and at the same time, he was sent to the nearby states and counties to recruit experienced blacksmiths and carpenters, intending to rebuild the chain bridge after this battle.

Then, he ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, seize the time to rest and eat, feed the war horses with soybean and horse feed, and prepare for the big battle!

As Lian Zining expected, it was just the middle of the morning (ten o'clock in the morning), there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, and countless white-robed troops rolled in!

And what greeted them was the elite of 5,500 officers and soldiers who had already finished resting and were strong and strong! Swords and guns are like forests, and they are as strict as walls!

Zhang Geng and Qi Jiguang, who were at the front of the queue, saw the army of officers and soldiers who were waiting for the battle, especially after seeing the banner of the 'Presidential Company of the Wuyi Army' that was hunting and flying before the army, their faces were extremely wonderful. Zhang Geng's face sank like water, but Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, and he sighed secretly: "These few times I am restless, I always feel that there are some variables, it turns out that this variable should be on him!" Is this person really my nemesis, every time he calculates, he is right to see through? ”

And those white-robed soldiers, since the battle in Ningjin County, have become frightened birds, this time I thought that they only needed to escape, but they didn't expect to see the officers and soldiers blocking the road here, and there was a huge confusion all of a sudden. And those recruits who have just been conscripted into the army are even more unbearable, some of them have already shrunk back from their horses, and the queue of the white-robed army that was originally quite neat immediately became chaotic and crowded.

Fortunately, the grassroots officers of the white-robed army are still there, and in the last battle, except for Xiong Tingbi and Tang Yidao, who were caught in a heavy encirclement and captured, most of the other white-robed troops escaped from thousands of households. And except for the few thousand households that were almost wiped out, the combat effectiveness of the other thousand households was still very intact.

The officers did not need to be ordered, they just shouted loudly, punched and kicked to maintain order.

And the personal guards subordinate to Zhang Geng were rushing around the military formation with bright blades, and when they saw the deserter, they immediately stepped forward to slash and kill! After killing a few people, everyone was terrified when they saw the blood, and order immediately stabilized.

Zhang Geng and Qi Jiguang were surrounded by those generals who were still in the day, except for the absence of Xiong Tingbi and Tang Yidao, just like the big battle in the day. And the army behind him, 13,000 troops, is not much more than when it is said, but the officers and soldiers to face are only less than 6,000 horsemen on the opposite side! It's just that now, facing less than half of his officers and soldiers on the opposite side, he feels panicked in his heart, and he doesn't know what to do.

In fact, not only him, but also other white-robed generals and even soldiers, most of them didn't think of a 'type' word when they saw the other side's first reaction after seeing the other side!

The spirit of the white-robed army has been beaten after that battle, and there is not much left to be beaten.

That big battle was really miserable!

Standing beside Zhang Geng, there was also a fresh face, this was a gray-robed man, tall and thin, with a proud face, just looking at him, he could feel a heroic aura coming to his face. On the sleeve of his clothes, a snow-white lotus flower was embroidered, needless to say, this was naturally the person sent by the White Lotus Sect to contact the White Robe Army.

The gray-robed man took out a clairvoyant mirror, looked in the direction of Jingcheng Pass, looked at it for a while, and said to Zhang Geng hatefully: "The flag was played on the upper floor, and the demon soldiers of the official government noticed our plan, and suddenly made a move, intending to forcibly seize the pass, and the people who closed it had to start in advance." The demon soldiers broke the chain bridge, and there was nothing they could do. ”

Zhang Geng's face became more and more heavy, but Qi Jiguang sighed: "Lord Lian on the other side is a person who understands, if he didn't think of this step, it would be strange!" ”

Zhang Geng looked at Qi Jiguang and asked, "Strategist, are we fighting, or what?" ”

Everyone else also set their sights on Qi Jiguang, and now this resourceful military advisor is their backbone.

"Naturally, it's a fight!" Qi Jiguang said categorically: "We set off half a day earlier than the officers and soldiers, plus they are all light horses, one person and two horses, the speed is faster, although in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, we have spared a lot of roads, but the speed is no longer satisfied." And these officers and soldiers, who arrived earlier than us, must have been running for their lives all the way, and at this time they must have been sleepy and tired, so if they don't fight at this time, when will they stay? ”

The gray-robed man interjected: "The military advisor doesn't understand, they are sleepy and tired at this time, aren't we!" ”

"What the Tang Banner Lord said is, but, don't forget, there are a lot of us!" Qi Jiguang explained to the Tang Banner Lord, and then said to Zhang Geng: "Big Chief, I suggest that this time I will fight with the officers and soldiers, mainly fighting, send a number of thousands of households, fight with them, consume physical strength, and then withdraw and replace a new batch of people. ”

Zhang Geng nodded: "I followed the strategy of the military advisor." ”

After that, he ordered: "He Lao Mao led the A-word Qianhu, C-shaped Qianhu, Zhang Sanyuan led the Ding-shaped Qianhu, Youzi Qianhu, Yang Hu, Lingxin Qianhu, Chouzi Qianhu, go to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes, Grand Chief!" The three of them and the other three thousand households of the Thousand Households went out to receive the order, and then went to organize the troops.

He Laomao and the three of them, although they have been repeatedly defeated in the hands of officers and soldiers, have never won a victory, but they have also summed up a lot of combat experience, which can be called a model of repeated defeats and repeated battles, not that Zhang Geng does not want to use others, but after Xiong Tingbi and Tang Yidao were captured, in addition to them, there are really no generals in the army who can fight.

The troops of the white-robed army had just been dispatched, but the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had already moved.

I saw that in the cavalry formation opposite, a team was divided, the number of people was about 1,000, the big red cloak, and the rotten silver plate armor shimmered brightly in the sun, which made Zhang Geng and the others face drastically.

This army is a cavalry that has brought countless nightmares to the white-robed army, when it is said that in the big battle, the opponent fought against the double-robed army with 1,000 people, but it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and the white-robed army was killed without the power to fight back, and the corpses were everywhere! After going back, Zhang Geng sent people to inquire in many ways, only to find out that this extremely elite iron cavalry turned out to be the private soldier of the Marquis of Shouning!

Lian Zining and Qi Jiguang also had the same idea, and in several big battles, he used all the time to absorb knowledge and enrich himself, so as to increase his actual combat experience and improve his vision and battlefield insight. I have to say that Lian Zining is really the kind of character who is naturally suitable for survival on the battlefield, and at this time, his vision is already very different from when he just left Beijing and went south, and he saw the biggest weakness of the white-robed army at a glance.

"Generals, the white-robed army came from afar, exhausted, and looking at their queue, at least 10,000 people, I think it is a lot of strong men to join the army, there are a large number of new soldiers in the army, but it is better to have fewer but all veterans. The move of the white-robed army is tantamount to digging a grave by itself, as long as we send a team of elite cavalry to break down its array, the white-robed army will collapse without a fight! Lian Zining glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Who is willing, give us a jackpot?" ”

"The last will go!" As soon as Lian Zining's voice fell, Kang Lu was out of the ranks, and he laughed: "When it was said that it was refreshing to say that it had never been killed, today it happened to be a real chapter with the white-robed traitor!" ”

Lian Zining nodded and advised: "Be careful, hit the right wing of the white-robed traitor." ”

"Yes, my lord, I will wake up!" Kang Lu answered, and led his headquarters out of the ranks, but he did not bring all of Zhang Yanchang's personal soldiers, but only brought a thousand people.

Kang Lu led a thousand marshal soldiers and began to slowly accelerate, and a thousand cavalry, arranged in a huge assault formation, rushed towards the position of the white-robed army. The distance between the two armies was about a thousand paces, and this distance was enough for the cavalry of both sides to strangle. A thousand cavalrymen, all riding tall horses produced outside the pass, all of them were heavily armoured, looking like steel fortresses, converging into a torrent of steel, like a mountain, pressing down on the head of the white-robed army.

After Kang Lu led the army to start charging, Lian Zining said again: "General Tang, you lead the remaining 1,000 personal soldiers, always be ready!" ”

Facing the old master so soon, I can't say that I have to fight each other, Tang Yidao's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and after all, he still answered yes, and straightened out the remaining handsome soldiers.

Zhang Geng was shocked, and hurriedly ordered He Laomao to lead two thousand troops to meet him, although he knew that even his own two thousand people were definitely not the opponent of this thousand tigers and wolves, but if they could block it for a while, it would be a while. As long as you hold back for a while, entangle with them, and then send superior forces to encircle them, maybe you can still keep these thousand elites!

The gray-robed man frowned, and his expression was slightly disdainful: "This is Lian Zining, who was passed down by these white-robed soldiers?" That's just it, isn't it death to send a lone army to charge? These mud legs love to exaggerate the most, and the sect leader can't trust our own people, but expects them to succeed? ”

Qi Jiguang wrinkled his brows, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in shock: "Big leader, hurry up and let He Qianhu withdraw!" The officers and men do not want to rush into battle, they want to rush our flanks! ”

However, it's too late!

At this time, the two thousand households led by He Laomao had already killed the Kang Law Firm who rushed over, and the distance between the two was no more than two hundred steps!

And at this moment, the standard-bearer beside Kang Lu shook the big flag in his hand vigorously, at this moment, these Shouning Marquis Mansion painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years of fine horsemen showed their extremely high horse control skills and the skillful surname of the battle array combination, they had been pressing the speed of the war horse, so that they could not gallop at high speed, their entire formation, originally like a straight sword to the north, straight into the center of the white-robed army array. At this time, it was the entire team, but without warning, it suddenly turned to the northeast, just drawing a beautiful parallel line with He Laomao's department who rushed diagonally, separated by dozens of steps.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! He Lao Mao shouted angrily, their orders were passed down layer by layer, and the soldiers immediately opened their bows and arrows.

Before the last war, almost all of the 5,000 archers that Qi Jiguang painstakingly cultivated died in the battle array, and in the next few days, although another batch was trained, the results were very unsatisfactory.

I only heard the hum of the bowstring vibrating with the immortal hum, and thousands of people shot arrows at the same time, and more than two thousand sharp arrows formed a dark cloud, making a dense sound of breaking the air, and pressed down towards the Kang Law Department.

He Laomao still had great expectations for this salvo, but the result was dumbfounded.

The accuracy of the archers of the white-robed army is just poor, and this kind of salvo does not need to be accurate, but the key is that the arm strength is weak, the bow strength is also weak, and the arrow cluster is not sharp and heavy enough. A large number of feathered arrows landed one after another before they reached the officers and soldiers, and they were inserted in the open space. And those dense arrow feathers didn't do much damage to these elites. They lowered their heads, so that their large steel wide-brimmed hats covered their heads, necks, and shoulders, while the centaurs were heavily armoured, and their feathered arrows shot down and struck their bodies, only to make a clanging sound of gold and iron, and then they were bounced away.

These light cavalry, which are not very qualified, can cause limited losses in the face of out-and-out heavy cavalry at this time. A rain of arrows fell, and only a dozen or so people were lost here, and these unlucky ghosts were all unlucky horses whose mounts were shot in the unobstructed horse's eye or in the neck, turned over and fell off the horse, and were instantly trampled into pulp.

There were already flames burning in Kang Lu's eyes, and if it was possible, he would turn around and kill these white-robed soldiers, but this was obviously not the time to be rash.

A thousand elites did not stop at all, and soon came to the right flank of the white-robed army!

And with their arrival, the right flank of the white-robed army was in a panic, the soldiers were pushing, and the war horses were snorting uneasily, not knowing how to respond.

"What Lord Lian said is really true, the right wing of this white-robed army is a group of recruits who have no experience in battle formation!"

Kang Lu waved his hand, and it was a beautiful turn with the tail swinging of the dragon, and a thousand elite soldiers slammed into the right flank of the white-robed army!

When he was still a hundred steps away from the white-robed army, Kang Lu laughed loudly: "Brothers, let these traitors also see our archery skills!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Thousands of people responded with a bang, took out their bows and arrows, and opened their bows to aim.
