Four, four, seven, the courage of the horseman

Ma Xiaotian whispered in the ear of the red lady: "The cavalry charge just now doesn't count, the next thing is the real battle." ”

The red lady whispered: "You know how to fool people." ”

As soon as the two small words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered the front army to move forward. Walking in the forefront of the Zhu army was a large area of heavy infantry, with iron shields, iron armor, iron shields, and iron bumps, and once pushed forward, they had the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas. The Hengtian King and the Scorpion Block were suddenly shocked: "This ...... Hong Chengchou's heavy infantry formation back then was nothing more than that......"

But this is the end of the matter, and we have to fight. The King of Hengtian gave an order, and the scorpion block also urged his subordinates forward. Both armies began to press forward slowly, approaching each other. Since the peasant uprising has been going on for many years, the current combat experience of the thief army is much richer than before, and in the early years of Chongzhen, most of the rebels rushed forward in a swarm. Now I also know that when we are still far away, we should not rush randomly, and we should move forward slowly to ensure that the formation is not chaotic and save physical strength.

The two divisions of the Hengtian King and the Scorpion Block did not rush over, but maintained a slow pace of progress, but they were thieves after all, and after walking a few steps, the formation fluctuated, and the front of the military formation began to become uneven.

The two armies got closer and closer, entering a distance of about seventy paces, the archers of the two armies released arrows at the same time, and the shield soldiers also raised their shields to defend, there were a lot of archers mixed in the tens of thousands of armies, and the rain of arrows was overwhelming, and the military formations of the two armies were chaotic, but the confusion of the Zhu army was obviously relatively small, and it quickly calmed down. The thief army of the King of Heaven and the Scorpion Block was greatly shaken by this rain of arrows.

The red lady's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "Sure enough." Now there's a bit of a real taste of war. ”

Ma Xiaotian said with a smile: "I said it all, the other party is a playhouse, and only we are fighting...... The same rain of arrows, why is the enemy army more confused than ours? ”

The red lady sighed and said, "Yes, why? ”

Ma Xiaotian said seriously: "Because our soldiers know that they are fighting, they know that fighting is to shed blood and to die, so before going to the battlefield, they have put their personal life and death aside, and only think about how to let the side win." Keep your parents and fellow villagers from being bullied. With such a belief. Only then can our army be invincible and ......invincible."

His words were majestic, and the red lady couldn't help but think in her heart: This guy is still good occasionally.

It's a pity that as soon as I thought of this, I heard Ma Xiaotian add: "These are all said by Zhu Bugge." ”

Red Lady Khan: "Hey." Everything was said by Zhu Bugs. Don't you have anything to say? ”

Ma Xiaotian guards Zhu Yuanzhang's side every day. He is the one who listens to Zhu Yuanzhang the most, so his thinking has also been affected the most, and now he must say that "this is what Zhu Bugling said". It's really a little speechless, he doesn't know that women hate men posing for this virtue the most, what woman likes to follow a fart-type man?

At this time, the rain of arrows has passed, the two armies approached to fifty steps, with the sound of war drums densely, the soldiers of both armies began to charge, Zhu Jun unhurriedly divided the shield array, it turned out that there were a large number of fire guns hidden behind the shield array, at the moment when the shield array was separated, the sound of fried beans sounded into a piece, a white smoke in front of the array, Hengtian King and the scorpion block fell down in an instant Hundreds of soldiers, many of them are shield soldiers with shields, the foreskin and wooden shields in their hands are enough to resist all kinds of knives and guns, but they can't block the terrifying firearms.

Zhu Jun's firecrackers were also calm enough, and they actually shot at a distance of fifty paces to start the charge, and this blow was too painful, and the morale of the front troops of the Hengtian King and the Scorpion Block Division was knocked down by more than half at once.

After the Zhu soldiers released their guns, they began to retreat, no longer participating in the charge, the shield soldiers re-closed the shield array, and the spearmen filled the position after the fire soldiers withdrew, and continued to press forward. Obviously, I experienced the rain of arrows just now, and now there are occasional arrows shooting down my head, obviously the two armies are only a few dozen steps apart, and even the hideous faces of the enemy and me can be seen clearly, and they may die at any time, but the soldiers of the Zhu army are as stable as Qin Mountain, and they are still in the mood to change the formation here. On the other hand, the army of the Hengtian King and the Scorpion Block had been beaten by the round of bombardment just now by the Fire Commander, not to mention any change of formation, and even forgot to fill the position of the shield soldier who had just been beaten down.

It's the same people, why is there such a big difference?

Hengtian King feels that Yali Mountain is big!

The scorpion block also feels that Yali Mountain is big!

Just in the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the two armies have collided together, and the heavy infantry in the forefront instantly chopped melons and vegetables and rolled into the enemy's army, and the Hengtian King hurriedly mobilized a few reserves to block, but the heavy infantry was almost unstoppable, it was like a terrifying meat grinder, rolling forward civilians, and in the past year, the Hengtian King and the scorpion were beaten all over the ground.

Moreover, the heavy infantry of the Zhu army was not greedy for merit, they would not just rush forward and ignore the rear. When they pushed forward, they were able to maintain their positions under the command of Lingqi, and they did not rush too forward, so as not to give the thieves a chance to surround them and fight. Several squads under the command of the Hengtian King tried several times in vain to attract the heavy infantry of the Zhu army into the enemy position alone, but the heavy infantry never rushed forward, keeping their flanks and being cared for by friendly forces.

The leading general of this heavy infantry is now Wang Er, and he is also wearing that special heavy armor, brandishing an iron rod and rushing to the front, there is no other general in the enemy army, and ordinary miscellaneous soldiers are all broken and broken under his stick.

On the two wings of the heavy infantry but two ordinary infantry teams in the wings, leading these two wings are the two poodle brothers, these two brothers have followed Zhu Jun for a long time, and now they have also been trained, although they can't be alone, but it is enough to be a lieutenant general.

The three route armies echoed each other and swept across the battlefield, while Xue Hongqi pressed the cavalry team to the side, looking for an opportunity with cold eyes. She didn't move, and the cavalry team of the Hengtian King and the Scorpion Block didn't dare to move, so they had to stare at each other with big eyes.

The red lady opened her mouth wide and said dumbly: "This ...... It's finally like a war. ”

Ma Xiaotian said with a smile: "Now I can't follow up anymore to mess around, I want to stay by Zhu Buggy's side and protect his safety, which is more important than killing a hundred enemies." ”

The red lady nodded, she originally wanted to say, "If you don't go, I'll go." But looking at the battlefield, she saw square formations everywhere, and even if she wanted to join any army to help, it seemed out of place. In this environment of thousands of swords, guns, swords, halberds, what can she do with a few flying knives and a long sword?

The red lady sighed and said: "I finally understand why 'the courage of the horseman' is a bad word, in this environment, personal ability is really insignificant, my red lady thinks that she is strong in martial arts, but in fact, it is not necessarily more useful than a spearman for Zhu Jun......"

Ma Xiaotian said in a low voice: "It doesn't seem quite right to use the word "Brave Horseman" on you......"

The red lady said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "There is a word 'husband' in the husband, you are a beautiful woman, how can you call yourself a husband." ”

The red lady snorted and laughed: "Stupid, you also said that you can read and write, this horseman's courage refers to a person's martial arts, not a 'man'' martial arts, it is okay to describe men and women." This even me, a woman who has never read a book, understands, you don't understand? ”

Ma Xiaotian sweated profusely, only then did he know that he had been caught again without learning and unskilled, and retreated behind Zhu Yuanzhang with a face full of shame. asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, the courage of the horseman is available to both men and women?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile and said: "The so-called bravery, there is a distinction between great courage and small bravery, a person with a sharp sword to kill a hero, is a small brave." And the real courage is the courage of righteousness, the so-called King Wen is angry and calms the people of the world, that is the great bravery. ”

Ma Xiaotian still didn't understand, and said depressedly: "After returning to Xi'an after this battle, I want to read more books." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said "um": "It's a good thing to read more." And he said no more.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield had already shown a one-sided state, and the two divisions of Hengtian King and Scorpion Block were defeated and retreated under the pressure of Zhu Jun, and they were obviously unable to support it. Zhu Yuanzhang waved the command flag in his hand, and Xue Hongqi's department immediately rushed out according to the flag order, and the eight hundred cavalry rushed straight to the weakest link of the scorpion block, and the cavalry team of the Hengtian King and the scorpion block also rushed out to intercept it.

The two cavalry finally bumped into each other this time and officially engaged in battle, only to see the scimitar cold glow, blood flying everywhere, the Hengtian King Department and the Scorpion Block Department were not only inferior to the infantry of the Zhu Army, but even the cavalry was far inferior, and was easily cut by Xue Hongqi, beating the cavalry of their two armies to the ground.

The 100,000 people who watched the play with Zhu Yuanzhang were taken aback, and just thought in their hearts: Xue Hongqi is just a horse bandit in Mobei, and most of the cavalry under Hengtian Wang are also from Mobei horse bandits, why are they also horse bandits, and the difference in combat power is so big?

In fact, this reason is very simple, Xue Hongqi's cavalry is now strict in military discipline, neat orders, and their lives are also very good, every meal is full, clothes are warm, there is a good house to live in at night, and they don't do anything else except training and fighting, such a thing is called a professional soldier.

On the other hand, the horse bandits of the Hengtian King Department, they often go out to burn and loot to maintain their own living needs, and can only exercise their equestrian skills and sword skills in the burning, killing and looting, and have never received systematic training, everyone is fighting with their own "horseman's bravery", such a thing is called a semi-professional soldier.

How can a semi-professional military man be stronger in combat effectiveness than a professional soldier?

Xue Hongqi really had no trouble cleaning up the Hengtian King, as for the scorpion block, it was even simpler, the cavalry under his command couldn't even compare to the horse bandits, and they couldn't be called cavalry at all, they could only be called "soldiers on horses".

I saw that the enemy's cavalry was easily cut open, and then Xue Hongqi's troops plunged into the enemy's infantry formation...... The horses neighed, the spears stabbed, and the infantry howled...... (To be continued.) )
