Although Hao Shisan successfully captured Hezhou City, he was also under great pressure in his heart, Chaoxian and Hanshan were still in the hands of the enemy, blocking the connection between the Red Turban Army and the rear base in Luzhou, cutting off the grain route and the supply of soldiers.

Hezhou is just an isolated city for Hao Shisan, and he has to face a two-sided counterattack from Timur and Jiangmian Yuan's army, and the troops in his hands are not optimistic.

When Fu Youde and Wu Liuqi went on an expedition to the east, they plundered and brought back 30,000 people, and Hao Shisan only selected some of the strong soldiers to supplement them, and most of the rest stayed in Feidong for training and selection by Robben.

In addition to the battle damage of the defenders in the city, the defenders of the Qingfeng army in Hezhou had a total of less than 15,000 soldiers, and heavy weapons such as catapults and artillery, because it was inconvenient to run from afar, most of them were left in the rear, and there were only ten artillery pieces in Hezhou, and some firecrackers and catapults captured in Hezhou.

Hao 13's foothold in Hezhou is not stable, and Timur has already brought 60,000 troops, convolution, Hao 13 has no choice, it is impossible to fight the city defense war, the longer the decisive battle is detached, the more unfavorable it is to Hao 13, you can only fight on the spot, not you die, save me and I live.

At the beginning of the rising sun, in the wilderness north of Hezhou, Timur's army of 60,000 people also set up a formation, stretching out of sight, nearly 100 artillery pieces, lined up in front of the army formation, countless catapults, ballistas lined up in the army array.

Hao 13 did not show weakness, leaving the Chinese army Zhang Poyu to lead the headquarters of the men and horses to defend the city, to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the river, and ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses to go out of the city to line up.

The only ten three-pounder cannons in Hezhou, like ten generals, squatted on the city wall, suppressing the position of Qingfeng's Red Turban Army, so that Timur's heavy weapons could not enter Hao Shisan's army formation.

The military formation listed by the Qingfeng Red Turban Army has changed, the left army, the front army, and the middle army are three thousand households, lined up, on the outside of the military formation, two teams of 500 rangers, led by Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, and the rear army of the thousand households Yang notified the soldiers to be the right guard of the governor's mansion, and the guards of the Shan Hu Department were displayed in various colors, and they were lined up in front of the front army of the thousand households, covering the abduction of the front army.

This 1,000-person crutch chain horse is Hao Shisan's battlefield wonder soldier, and he relies on it very much.

On the head of the city of Hezhou, the five-colored military flags were blown by the breeze, which added a lot of tension to the imminent moment of the war.

Hao 13 was dressed in silver-white fish scale armor, standing under the military flag like Mount Tai, with a dignified face, his right hand held the handle of the knife tightly, and his palms were already full of sweat, 10,000 against 60,000, Hao 13 had no certainty of victory.

All the family funds accumulated by Hao 13 in half a year are all placed in Hezhou City, and the victory is easy to say, once defeated, not only will Hezhou be lost, but I am afraid that Luzhou and Shouzhou will not be able to be saved.

From scratch, it may take a long time of unremitting effort, from there to nothing, it may be just a moment, and you will lose all the games if you are not careful. At this time, Hao Shisan either won a lot of money, or lost a fortune.

Hao 13 was followed by Yu Dechen and Liu Bowen, who joined the army, and followed by two mighty generals, Zhang Poyu, a thousand households of the Chinese army, and Wu Liujiu, a thousand households of the Su Guard.

Yu Dechen was holding an open wooden box, and there was a copy of "The Art of War" in the wooden box, and Yu Dechen was ready to read any paragraph needed in the book to Hao Shisan. Liu Bowen shook the goose feather fan, the fairy wind was boneless, and he was not shocked, and did not say a word.

"Liu joins the army, what is the best way to break the enemy?" Hao Shisan asked lightly, knowing that it was in vain to ask.

Liu Bowen just shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't help, and he didn't even bother to make a sound.

"Liu joins the army to see if I can defeat Timur?" Hao Shisan asked coldly.

"'Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky'" Liu Bowen said lazily.

Hao Shisan's heart is very nervous now, the enemy is too strong, whether he is completely prepared or not, there is no chance of victory. How much he hoped that Liu Bowen would answer him in the affirmative, saying "Du Du will definitely be able to defeat the enemy", even if this sentence is false, it will give Hao Shisan great self-confidence.

Fortunately, although Liu Ji and Liu Bowen did not encourage, they did not pour cold water. Hao Shisan knew that it was useless to ask anyone now, and it didn't matter what was written in the book, he could only rely on his own command and dispatch to see the fighting willpower of his army.

"Blow the trumpet! Get ready to attack! Hao Shisan coldly gave an order.

Wu Liujiu, the guard of the Governor's Mansion, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered: "Blow the horn and prepare to attack!" ”

Woo -

Woo -

A terrible horn flashed over the head of the Qingfeng army, and the troops arrayed under the city stopped shouting and cheering, listing the most well-organized troops, and in each army formation, there were several soldiers, looking back at the handsome banner of the Chinese army, waiting for the attack order issued by the main general.

"Left and right rangers, go all out!" Hao Shisan gave an order with a cold expression.

Next to the flag of the commander of the Chinese army, two new yellow and white triangular flags were added, and the two pennants waved, and the compact war drums sounded immediately.

The two rangers on both sides of the military formation, under the leadership of Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, received the flag order of the Chinese army, and there was a shout, and the two cavalry drew an arc on the outside, beat their horses and galloped wildly, directly impacting the Chinese army formation that also preceded Timur.

1,000 newly formed cavalry to attack the army formation of 60,000 people, undoubtedly, the strength is too weak, Hu Dahai and Geng Zaichengrao are brave, but it is not easy to impact more than 1,000 meters and pass through the enemy's fire blockade.

Three hundred paces away, the artillery and guns of the opponent's army were ringing one after another, and lead bullets, iron sand, and stones mixed with catapults were smashed like raindrops.

The cavalry that was attacking, although it was a sparse formation, there was a large gap between the two cavalry, and under the blow of dense artillery, people neighed in an instant, and a third of them were already on the road, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Liu Bowen at the head of the city could no longer be calm at this time, the blood and cruelty in front of him made him unbearable to look at directly, he frowned and twisted his face to the side.

Zhang Poyu stomped his feet in a hurry, feeling that the boss was too cruel. Boss, what kind of tactic is this? Isn't this a thousand people dying in vain? Even if these 1,000 people rushed in front of the enemy's formation, it was the end of the crossbow.

Zhang Poyu wanted to stop the boss, but the boss's expression was grim, and he stared intently at the situation on the battlefield, and he didn't dare to disturb.

"Let them go back!" Hao Shisan said coldly.

Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, who charged, were hung with arrows on their bodies, because they were protected by armor, and they were not seriously injured, seeing that they rushed past the enemy's catapults, artillery, ballistas, bows and arrows, and were about to rush into the enemy formation, but suddenly heard the sound of Mingjin on the head of the city, Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng had just returned to Hao Thirteen, and did not dare to defend Kang's military order, so they had to turn their heads and retreat resentfully.

Of the 1,000 people who charged, less than 400 who could retreat, went straight to the retreat of the Chinese army in the direction indicated by the commander banner.

Timur also saw that the Red Turban Army had lost the first formation, laughed, at this time, he should bite the retreat of the Red Turban Army, and then rushed into the military formation, 60,000 for 10,000, Hao 13 is not an opponent.

"The light cavalry attack and bite their retreat!" Timur also pointed at his sword, gave the order, and hit his first formation.

The three thousand Mengyuan light cavalry were ordered to rush out of the military formation, chasing Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng into two rangers, and directly re-attacked Hao Shisan's Chinese army, thinking that they would break through Hao Shisan's military formation for a while.
