The Ming army trumpeted and drummed, blowing the trumpet as the palm trumpet, and the first time it was the number one, letting people pack their luggage and make meals. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info was half an hour late, and he blew the trumpet for the second time, asked people to eat, and cleaned up and went out. After blowing the trumpet for the third time, you have to get up and enter the line or prepare for the march.

Earlier, the Chinese army had already blown the horn twice, and when it was blown again, there was immediately a shout of officers on the side of the hill: "Assemble, enter the defensive line," and the trumpeters responded one after another, and a tense atmosphere spread.

The soldiers on the side of the No. 5 defense line left their jobs one after another and lined up according to the first team. Slightly different from the Jingbian Army, their officers also have flags, but they carry a flag, with a body of 2 feet 5 inches, an oblique angle with a side, and a flagpole 3 feet 6 inches long.

They also train in arrays on weekdays, so when they are assembled, it seems that the battalion is relatively tight, and only the queue of those battalion soldiers looks chaotic.

Of course, in the eyes of these battalion soldiers, the queue of the new army is just a silver-like wax spear, and when they are fighting, they are still breastfeeding, so they are naturally unconvinced.

Everyone unanimously looked like they were about to fight, and their faces showed nervous looks, regardless of whether they were new or old.

Seeing that the 2,000 soldiers were assembled, Yang Qian and Gao Guerrilla took a deep breath, looked back at the Jingbian Army Supervisor Han Kaihui behind him, Han Kaihui waved his hand, and Gao Guerrilla shouted: "Enter the defense line!" ”

He took over the kitchen and did the work of Mr. Yang Qian, and added: "Brothers, do a good job and kill all the thieves!" ”

Immediately, the battalion soldiers under his command, carrying their own weapons, roared and jumped from the slope of the intersection into the slope, all of them with a rainbow of momentum.

Looking at them, Yang Qian didn't say anything, just said, "Arm." ”

His corporal shouted in unison, and according to the defense line of Team A, they all went down one after another.

The same is true of other armies. In the sound of "entering the defense line", the Ming soldiers on the south plateau poured down like a torrent, the wave of red clothes and armor, and the sound of loud footsteps, stirring up dust and mixed together. Iron Horse Jingo's momentum spread.

The noise on the opposite hill is louder, a group of troops and horses galloping, in order to better command the battle of Yuanwanggou, Sun Chuanting will stand on the edge of the hill, behind him is a fort called Chengbei Wall, just in the middle of the Yuanwanggou, it is easy to take into account the entire ravine defense line.

He took out his beloved clairvoyant mirror and looked at the opposite hill, only to see the black crowd. It is constantly moving towards the edge of the hill, the north section is yellow, and the south section is red, but it is the soldiers and horses of the back camp and the right camp of the thieves.

Their trumpets and shouts were endless, the flags were fluttering, and it seemed that the twenty miles long were all of them, not to mention Gao Jie and the others, even Sun Chuanting gasped. subconsciously looked at Wu Zhengchun and the others beside him.

Seeing that the generals of the Jingbian Army still looked calm, Sun Chuanting relaxed slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Order the Overseer to enter." ”

……

The defenders of No. 5 have taken their places, and there are many low walls on their side, the first of which is the most important, and in front of them there is a large sloping wave, and a path goes uphill to the front of the ladder. It meanders up along the north side of the ladder cliff until it reaches the second ladder cliff wall after more than 100 steps.

This first ladder cliff not only has a ditch in front of it, but also has some small slopes of earth cliffs of different heights distributed on the slope, which is inconvenient to pass, so I want to go up the hill. It is better to take the road, which is within the range of the fire threat of the defenders on the low wall.

Of course, if there is any master climber among the thieves, he may be able to avoid the road and force all the way to the second ladder cliff wall.

In addition, above the first ladder cliff, there is a ladder cliff near the slope, which is one zhang high, and the three ladder cliffs form a sandwich intersection.

Inside the first low wall was a general guard of the new army, a hundred bird guns, and their soldiers wore red cotton armor, but the spearmen had arms and hands and iron cotton armor, and were also equipped with iron helmets.

This kind of equipment is different from the red waist-length armor and red tasseled felt hat of ordinary soldiers, but it is important here, and it is guarded by the elite spearmen in the department.

The low wall was also defended by more than 200 battalions, the same total strength.

The Shaanxi battalion has 300 or 400 soldiers as a division, and a general should have a total of 3 or 400 troops, but the division is only more than 200 people, but it is because of empty salaries.

They have dozens of three-eyed guns, more than 10 birds, and more than 50 bows and arrows, and the number of archers missing has reached half, but the number of rocketeers has greatly increased, reaching more than 100 people, and most of them are holding palladium.

The armor of these battalion soldiers is different, there are iron helmets and felt hats, long armor and short armor, and even some people wear antique Ming armor, the armor pieces are exposed, and some iron pieces look rusty, and the red paint on them is about to fall off.

Both the new army and the battalion soldiers, when they arrived at their own defensive lines, were busy loading their ammunition and sorting out their equipment, and the officers behind the low walls also supervised back and forth.

They knew that when the Jingbian army of those supervising battalions would come to supervise the battle and inspect it, these people would be ruthless when they were training, not to mention that now is the time to fight, and if they are caught in the wrong place, they are very likely to lose their heads.

Sure enough, soon the Jingbian Military Supervision Team came, and they were accompanied by some patrol flags from the Gao guerrilla battalion, all with straight faces and serious expressions.

In fact, the battalions of the Ming Dynasty did not have a special commander, and the men and horses they supervised and inspected were called patrol flags.

Han Kaihui has two teams of soldiers in No. 5, one team of soldiers supervises the battle, and the other team of soldiers serves as a reserve, and there is a team of soldiers who come to the first low wall, and they check the ammunition and equipment of each soldier one by one, meticulously, so that both the new army and the battalion soldiers have a heart.

There are also loud-voiced calmers shouting over and over again, conveying the military discipline of combat: "...... Those who dare to retreat from the battle and retreat first against the enemy will be killed! One person retreats, beheads his people, all the armor retreats, and all the armor is killed! All the teams are retreating, and the whole team is killed! To the generals, leading generals, and all the officers, sit together as one! …… If the commander does not retreat, the commander will be given mercy to the commander who dies, and the rest of the soldiers will be beheaded. If each team retreats to the captain who is killed, he will be generous to the captain's house, and the team will be beheaded! ……”

The stern voice echoed in everyone's ears, reflecting the thieves and horses who were pressed by the black pressure on the opposite hill, and the atmosphere seemed to be suffocating.

After the stern pacifiers shouted, it was the voice of a gentle-voiced but highly incendiary consolation officer: "Brothers of the Qin army, the thieves are here, they have come to plague Henan and Huguang, and they are going to plague us in Shaanxi again." Wherever these thieves go, there are no chickens and dogs, if they are allowed to enter Shaanxi. It will definitely become a white land like Henan and Huguang. They will take your cattle, eat up your sheep, and take all your family away, just like the refugees on the other side, and finally be forced to fill in the trenches and besiege the city, and die without a grave! ”

The battalions are fine. The faces of the new army showed an angry look, not as easy to deceive as the thieves at the beginning, and many people already understood the nature of these rogues, especially the nature of the thieves.

It's not that they can't survive, but they are used to being thieves, accustomed to a life of plundering without work, and they are not willing to come down to work as farmers in peace.

Like a big and small thief, when has the government not recruited peace? Forgiven? But how many times have they rebelled?

If the thieves rebelled for the first time is excusable, they may not survive. But in the end, it is already their ambition and desire that are at work, and it is not only a matter of rebellion if they can't survive.

Just like Luo Rucai, he openly said that he likes to be a thief, and it is good to be a thief!

These thieves are hypocritical, under all kinds of names, but in fact, they just make it impossible for those who could have survived to live!

The thief can also laughingly say that the king of the king does not pay for food, does not pay for food, and the thieves and soldiers are known as millions at every turn. How to feed? It is so difficult for Sun Duchen to support these new troops, and the so-called fellow Li Zicheng on the other side is how virtuous he can. Can you feed so many soldiers and civilians under your rule?

He has only one way, rob! He has robbed all of Henan and Huguang, and now he wants to come to Shaanxi to rob, so that his promising little life will be shattered, and his family and wife will suffer? Never say yes!

With the agitation of the soothing officer. More and more new soldiers shot a raging anger in their eyes, and suddenly a high-pitched voice came out of the plateau: "Never let the thieves enter Shaanxi and kill all the thieves!" ”

"Kill the thieves!"

This voice immediately caused echoes and roars from the top and bottom of the hill, not only No. 5, but also the defense line more than 20 miles long in the distant ditch. All the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles brandished their weapons and shouted hoarsely, and their angry roars caused the thieves on the opposite side to choke.

In the sky-shaking shout, the high-pitched voice shouted again: "My Qin army is mighty!" ”

"Mighty! Mighty! ”

For a while, all the warriors were roaring feverishly, and at this moment, no one was afraid anymore, and the majestic voice shook the sky even more!

"Fire!"

A sharp horn sounded, and suddenly the cannon roared, and in the sound of "boom", a large stream of white smoke rose, the Taojiazhuang artillery position, and some of the remaining general cannons that could be fired fired, and the iron bullets whistled out of the chamber and smashed viciously to the opposite ground.

Immediately, a large area of smoke and dust rose from that side, mud and debris flew, and even some cannons fell into the crowd, bringing up large balls of flying limbs.

The thieves on the opposite side were already crowded, although the height of the edge of the hill was staggered, and some cannons were fired on the ladders and cliffs, and they were shot on the ravines, but there were still cannons that hit the gathered crowd and made them turn over on their backs.

In particular, the artillery position of Taojiazhuang, the distance between the two plateaus on this side is only more than 100 steps, and the artillery placed on the east gate constantly bombards the opposite plateau, so that the thieves gathered on that side have fled, shouting that they must not gather troops in disarray.

Sun Chuanting paid close attention to the movement on the opposite side, the power of the artillery was extraordinary, even if it was not a Hongyi cannon, as long as it could hit the general cannon on the opposite side, it would bring unimaginable pressure to the thieves on the opposite side.

Especially for the sake of military morale and supervision, the thieves arranged the infantry camp on the edge of the front hill, these people have at least the number of the uniform, and the number of each battalion is marked on it, which is regarded as a regular army, and the rear is only a forest of hungry soldiers with turbans and spears, and these cannons give the thieves more real damage.

However, there were more thieves after all, and they also responded, and the thieves on the side of the hill dispersed even more, using the terrain to protect themselves, and the hungry soldiers behind were also urged to speed up their pace, so that the crowd spread more and more on the opposite side.

The opposite hill was already crowded with people, and there were dense flags and weapons, which were visually suffocating in black, and suddenly the big drum on the opposite side was beaten, and all the thieves shouted in unison, and the sound even overshadowed the sound of artillery.

A dense crowd of thieves poured out, all of them in ragged clothes, wrapped in turbans, and armed with spears, and they separated into an array of foot soldiers, and came out from the rear in streams.

They roared and shouted, their faces full of twisted fanaticism, and they charged down the path between them.

For a while, the slope was full of their figures, and they rolled down like a torrent. (To be continued.) )
