Chapter 221: The Great Battle Outside Nanwang County

The confidence of the more than 20,000 White Turban Army was inflated, and early in the morning he sent someone to send me a letter of war, asking me to raise the white flag and surrender, so that I could spare my death, and I could also get a good messenger in the White Turban Army, otherwise, after capturing Nanwang County and capturing me, I and other sergeants would be broken into pieces.

Suddenly, I received a letter from the White Turban Army, which surprised me, and I couldn't help but wonder when I saw that the signature was the White Turban Army's Nantian Wang Gong Mingzan, and I couldn't help but wonder, this Gong Mingzan didn't take down Donghai City last time, and this time he became more and more confident, and the letter sent before the war, where did his confidence come from?

I did not embarrass the messenger and let him go back safely, but before he left, I gave him a word to bring to the King of the Southern Heavens.

After the messenger had departed, I ordered the officers of all ranks to immediately lead the sergeants out of the city and set up their troops, and I rode out of the city, at no more than eight o'clock in the morning.

The neatly dressed sergeants came out of the city one after another, and the sergeants who had already left the city entered the combat position under the command of their respective superiors, and the entire Nanwang County was silent outside the city, only the sound of small footsteps, and the world was magnificent and solemn.

"Generals, shieldmen, and pikemen are all in place." Lao Hong, who was newly qualified to replace the position of camp leader, walked up to me and said in a deep manner.

"Camp Leader Laohong, can your shield soldiers and pikemen withstand the onslaught of the White Turban Army?" I asked indifferently.

Outside the open field outside the city of Nanwang, at the front is a line of shield soldiers, this kind of shield is a heavy defensive shield, as high as one meter five, one meter wide, and thirty centimeters thick.

The shield requires two soldiers to move, and the shield is supported by two iron rods on either side of the shield, and two sergeants with knives stand next to the iron rod hands, and their task is to move and support the shield.

Immediately behind them were four sergeants, spears in hand, who were responsible for assassinating the enemy in front of their shields, and the number of sergeants in this column was about 1,200, and I left him in the charge of Lauhon.

"There is no problem with three waves of shock, as long as the two flanks do not pose a threat, my sergeants can concentrate on dealing with the White Turban Army who are rushing forward." Lao Hong said slowly.

"Just blow the sheng battalion leader, your archers are the sharp weapons to kill the enemy this time, you can't afford to lose." I admonished.

"General, please rest assured." Gang Chuan Sheng didn't seem to want to say much, and spoke extremely simply.

The shield soldiers are the archers drawn from the entire Eastern Navy and the Levy Army, and the White Turban Army is responsible for shooting arrows to kill the enemy when attacking, and giving the enemy the blow of dying before they make contact.

There were also about 1,200 archers, and after they had shot all the arrows, they had to draw their sabers for white-knuckle combat.

The archers were followed by the rest of the sergeants, and when the archers had finished shooting their arrows and retreated, they would immediately step forward to assist the shieldmen in sniping at the White Turbans, giving the archers a chance to breathe.

"How's the cavalry prepared?" I asked.

The entire Eastern Navy finally managed to make me come up with three hundred cavalry, although the number was only three hundred, but I still used it as a trump card, and when the war was in full swing, I would send cavalry to harass and respond.

Responsible for leading the cavalry is the general banner of Huolu, Huolu's ability I have seen with my own eyes, and he is fully capable of this job, it depends on how effective he can play, and I am now worried about how many cavalry the White Turban Army has.

"They're out." Fire Clay suddenly shouted behind me.

I turned around and looked at the gate of the city, and there was a knight in bright armor sitting on a tall horse, coming out of the city majestically, not Huolu who else was the first, his eyes were not squinting, his eyebrows were raised, his mouth was pursed, his expression was serious, and he was very calm.

I couldn't help but praise in my heart: It is worthy of the people who fought with the whale shark pirates in Jidongguan, life and death are no longer important, what matters is victory and honor are the victory.

"Go and call them to me." After I finished speaking, the fire clay hurriedly took the order and left.

I asked the Fire Mountain behind me, "How long will it be before the White Turban Army appears?" ”

Huo Dashan pondered, and after a while, he said, "It's coming, it's less than five miles away from us." ”

I listened, and looked at the mountains and forests to the northwest, where a battalion of sergeants led by the Lao Bi Bureau was ambushed, and last night I lost a battalion of people from Huogaoling, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

What makes me feel a little relieved is that Huo Gaoling is not deeply surrounded by the White Turban Army, and it is certain that he broke out, this is what the Lao Bi Bureau sent to tell me, it is true, but where he went later, he doesn't know anymore, and he can't get in touch.

I now command more than 5,000 troops, less than 6,000 men, but against the 20,000-strong White Turban Army, no matter how calm I am, my heart is constantly beating drums, if I am defeated, what should I do?

Did you die on the spot? In the future, even dreams will not come true.

Do you flee without fighting? What will become of me, how easy it is for a failed general to make a comeback.

"The White Turbans are here." It was the leader of the gang sheng who spoke, and the horse under his crotch involuntarily raised his feet and kicked his feet, and my horse was no exception, including other horses.

The appearance of the White Turban Army came like a flood, it was more than 20,000 White Turban Army sergeants, standing there was a sea of people, not to mention all kinds of flags, war horses and spear weapons.

The White Turban Army appeared from the narrow intersection, came to the battlefield and lined up on both sides, and just kept walking, arranging the troops, and the time lasted for fifteen minutes, and then all the sergeants at the back were lined up into the battlefield.

The two armies faced each other, with flags covering the sky and the sun, waving in the wind, it was a battle with a huge disparity in power, however, when I saw the entire White Turban Sergeant appear on the other side of the battlefield, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, the White Turban Army did not have cavalry, where did their cavalry go, it was impossible to enter Nanwang County by the southwest waterway and mountain road, so there was only one possibility, the cavalry was not in the army this time.

However, it didn't take long for me to breathe a sigh of relief, and I became worried again, after the White Turban army marched and set up, the first foot soldiers to come out held a spear in one hand and a wooden shield in the other, which was the best weapon against the archers, both offensive and defensive.

I couldn't help but secretly say: I'm afraid that the archers won't be able to get a big effect this time, unless I have a steady stream of archers and arrows.

The effective range of the archers is no more than a hundred and fifty meters, and the White Turbans are only seven hundred meters away from our army, and after the White Turbans charge forward, the archers will shoot up to five times, and the White Turbans will charge until they make contact with the shield soldiers.

I decided to adjust the archers' shooting instead of long-range projectiles, and said: "Just blow the sheng battalion leader, the archers' long-range projectiles will not do much, you let the archers shoot a round to slow down the rhythm of the White Turban Army's charge, then stop firing, and wait for the contact to fight, and then shoot flat." ”

As soon as I thought about it, I was worried at first, but in the end I understood.

I said, "After shooting a round to slow down the White Turbans' attack, tell the archers to stand back and give way to the pawns." ”

Just blow the sheng to answer. (To be continued.) )
