Anyi, Xu Zhengze thought strangely, he was not familiar with the area east of Yuncheng, this county seat was a little far away from the road they took, so he didn't see it at all, but Anyi County, which is located in the east of Yanchi, is actually the closest city to the official army, not the Siyancheng that he thought he had before.

It seems that I have to learn some geography, Xu Zhengze thought to himself, otherwise he would not be able to find a place when he ran away.

Under the continuous urging of Li Tianwang, the soldiers prepared more than a dozen planks as quickly as possible. There are a few sparse small villages nearby, I think it's bad, there is no bedding or anything, I think the people are too poor, or simply people have run out, but there are still a few rolls of straw mats.

On the way to their camp with Li Tianwang a few days ago, Miss Yang said, "We never bully the common people", the words are still in his ears, and he remembers it clearly. What a "we never bully the common people", it sounds really good.

However, Xu Zhengze has no intention of persuading, it is benevolent if a soldier can not slaughter the people, what is it to take something. Not every army is the red army, even the red iron army, and there are inevitably people who violate discipline.

In order to be safe, the door panel was covered with a lot of felt, and after pouring water and wetting it, it was extremely thick. Li Tianwang looked at it and said to the two accomplices: "If the protective fire gun is not a problem, even if the official army hides a tiger squat cannon, it will not be able to break such a big shield." ”

Gao Chenghe and Shi Ping were also overjoyed, and echoed in unison. Immediately, as soon as Li Tianwang gave an order, all the soldiers were in a group of two or three people, holding a huge door panel, and forced forward. Behind the door panel, the carefully selected elite followed closely behind, slowly pressing towards the center of the official army's car formation.

The white-bladed combatants fought against the door in front, the elite soldiers who were good at shooting followed closely with bows and crossbows, and the cavalry on both sides pressed forward while protecting the foot soldiers in the middle.

This time, Li Tianwang is bound to win.

A team of more than 200 people blocked the road, and immediately blocked the avenue, and seeing the movements of the thieves, Wang Jiang had no choice but to let the brigade stop. This kind of harassment from time to time is too torturous, marching under the threat of enemy surveillance, the pressure is not ordinary, although the fight is not long, but it still causes a great burden on people's bodies.

When he saw the thieves approaching with the gate board on his shoulder, the king's face turned pale as if he were miserable. Although he is not a famous general, he is a capable official and commander in Shanxi Town, where the war is constantly going on, commanding four or five hundred elite border troops, and he is not a useless incompetent.

"Quick, gather all the crossbowmen in the team." Realizing that the crisis was coming, Wang General shouted angrily to the relatives around him, "Also, put the two tiger squat cannons in place, and the sub-medicine is loaded and ready to be fired at any time." ”

Wang Jiang always recited all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and only hoped that they could bless him this time. If his preparations don't work, and even the powerful tiger squat cannon at close range won't work, then it is estimated that he will have to fight with the thieves in close combat, white-knuckle fighting, and he is not too sure about the soldiers and horses under his command, especially under the impact of the enemy's cavalry.

Because the soldiers were carrying the huge door panel, it was not very easy to catch it by surprise, so Li Tianwang and his brigade approached relatively slowly, but such a slow and unhesitating offensive posture undoubtedly gave the officers and soldiers greater psychological pressure.

"I remembered a word, so I had a good time." Li Tianwang pressed the formation and slowly pressed up, seeing that his team was so imposing, he was quite satisfied, so he turned his head to Xu Zhengze and couldn't help boasting.

"That's true, the two hundred or so elite horsemen of the Heavenly King are also among the best in the Ming Dynasty." Xu Zhengze also agrees with this statement, the super overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State, people describe his army, they say "good to be tidy", neat, of course, it means neat, time, is the meaning of calm, "everyone is good to be tidy", "good to be free", reflecting the Jin State, the most powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period, the overlord who has been dominating for the longest time, that looks down on the world, and cannot be calm and arrogant.

Li Tianwang and they are few in number, but they are always in a strong offensive posture. The action is full of oppression, so he said that this is the most elite group of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, of course, there is no shortage of a little sycophant. After all, he has not seen the world-famous Qi family army, white-pole elite soldiers, and Guanning Iron Cavalry, so it is difficult to compare. Not to mention that Xu Zhengze actually decided in his heart that the elite soldiers of the Jurchens should be stronger, of course, these words don't have to be said.

The soldiers carrying thick planks finally approached about 20 paces of the car formation, and during this period, the officers and soldiers did not fire arrows indiscriminately, which shows that the psychological quality is still good. Gao Cheng and the carefully selected good archers also arrived in front of the enemy with the plank, and almost as soon as the thick plank stopped, the crossbowmen hiding behind the door had already sent out their first wave of arrows.

There are only more than 40 elite crossbowmen, and the arrows sent out are naturally not dense, so Xu Zhengze cannot understand what is called "arrows like rain" and "arrows like flying locusts", but at a distance of more than 100 meters from the car formation, a small black dark cloud can still be seen shooting towards the sky, and then an arc was drawn, and the brush suddenly plunged into the car formation, and in an instant, the dense screams came.

"Ordinary officers and soldiers rarely have iron armor, and their protection is far behind." Looking at the car array that had been swept by two or three waves of arrow rain in the distance, Li Tianwang leisurely told Xu Zhengze the story of the army, "Even a person with iron armor can hardly withstand the heavy arrows." When I was in the army, I heard that the Jurchens in Liaodong liked to do this, their arrows were very heavy, and their iron armor could penetrate them, which often caused heavy losses to the officers and soldiers. ”

Xu Zhengze nodded, this is easy to understand, the weight is large, the momentum launched is also large, and the destructive power is naturally stronger, he thought about it and asked Li Tianwang: "Does the Heavenly King know if there is a tool that can throw larger objects, if there is, just throw a fist-sized stone over, no matter what iron armor you wear, you can't prevent it." ”

"That's right." Li Tianwang also bowed his head in approval, and smashed a fist-sized stone into it, but it was much more ruthless than a heavy arrow.

Even Li Tianwang didn't know if there was such a thing, Xu Zhengze knew that thing was called a ballista, but unfortunately he didn't understand the principle at all, and he didn't know what the Chinese called this kind of thing in ancient times. According to his memories of his previous life, there are various theories on the Internet, some say that China has never given birth to ballistas, and some say that China actually has similar things, but it has not been popularized.

After saying a few words, the roar in the car formation has been loud, and the elite crossbowmen can shoot twenty or thirty arrows in a short time, for the officers and soldiers in the car array, such a terrifying arrow rain has already caused huge casualties in only three or five rounds, and there is a wail in the formation. The soldier who can no longer hold back the fear in his heart, who cares about the pressure of the officer's bullets, the guns in his hands, and the bow and crossbow are all cast in one go, and he doesn't care whether he can hit the enemy or not, he should let it go to give himself courage.

In the face of the Qing army, the Ming army often made such a mistake, often the Qing army sent cavalry around, and the Ming army's guns crackled and put up, which was completely stupid by the enemy, and it was impossible to suppress the fear in his heart.

The officers and soldiers lacked bows and crossbows, and the shooting was far from the opponent here, and the fire guns were really powerless in the face of the thick protective door panels, so they could only passively bear wave after wave of dense arrow rain, and suffered heavy casualties. During this period, Wang Jiang, who couldn't help it, set fire to the tiger squat cannon, and the two cannons at close range only penetrated one plank, causing minor casualties among the thieves, and the other one was not penetrated at all. Although the thunderous sound shook the people in the field for a moment, there was a brief silence at that moment, but it was useless, the archers who came back to their senses were still throwing arrows without hesitation, and the warriors carrying the door panels simply pressed step by step, ready to fight to break through the official army's car formation.

Wang Jiang, who couldn't bear it anymore, was unwilling to be beaten passively, howling and leading the family to rush out of the car formation, behind him were the officers and soldiers who were almost driven crazy by the rain of arrows, they had to fight to the death, and if they didn't repel these crossbowmen in front of the car formation, the thieves could knock them down by shooting arrows alone.

"Okay." Li Tianwang secretly cheered, the cavalry on both wings almost rushed up after the officers and soldiers in the car formation fired their guns and arrows indiscriminately, and at this moment the guns of the officers and soldiers became burning sticks, and it was troublesome to load, and this group of officers and soldiers didn't seem to know much about three-stage strikes or anything, and there was no sense of hierarchy at all in shooting. This huge gap in the firepower, coupled with the chaotic formation hit by the dense rain of arrows, will not rush at this time, let alone when.

Almost instantly, the three places began to engage in battle, and the cavalry on both flanks were disorganized with a whole blow, almost effortlessly, so that the officers and troops in front of them lost the possibility of continuing to rectify and fight again, and the officers and troops in the middle were almost collapsed under the fierce blows of the carefully selected good archers and brave soldiers who were good at fighting under the command of Li Tianwang. Only Wang Jiangzong and a dozen or so people around him were extremely brave, and after a rush, they actually killed through the encirclement of the soldiers, and then rushed straight towards Li Tianwang's side.

The battle ahead was smooth, and within a short time, the organized resistance of the officers and troops had disappeared, and only a group of headless flies who did not know anything remained, scattered and fled under the blows of the enemy, leaving the officers and troops protected by the car formation, and the will to fight immediately fell by several points, and was swept back and forth by the elite cavalry under the command of Li Tianwang, and the army was crushed.

And here, Xu Zhengze was stunned and looked at Wang Jiangzong and his entourage who rushed over viciously, and he was almost stunned for a while, the leaders of this group of officers and soldiers didn't want to run away quickly with their horses, how could they dare to fight Li Tianwang's idea. However, by Li Tianwang's side, in addition to Yang Wan, the two leaders of Gao Chenghe and Shi Ping, Xu Zhengze and his rookie teammates were left. As for Wu Yong, he was good at shooting, and he rushed into battle in the morning.

This is a big trouble, Xu Zhengze thought in horror.
