Cao Wenzhao was slightly shocked in his heart: "Huh? Wouldn't I have become a thousand people who met this side with more than 200 people......" He swept in the other three directions, and found that those three directions could not fight at all, because the old and weak women were surrounded by the north and south, and it was impossible to rush very quickly, and Zhao Sheng, the lantern lighter in the west, and his seven thousand young men were also slightly less courageous, so they advanced relatively slowly, Zhu Yuanzhang's army had already exchanged a round of arrow rain with the officers and soldiers, but the thieves on the other three sides did not approach the hundred steps distance of the officers and soldiers at all.

In other words, although a wave of arrows was exchanged, in fact, only a small part of the officers and soldiers had a chance to make a move, and the other three sides were pinned down and did not play a role.

"It's a good loss to shoot like this!"

"Why did the thieves stop at this location? Don't attack? "Cao Bianjiao is wonderful.

"They're scaring us! He wanted to lure our firecrackers out of range, but he obviously failed, how could the firecrackers of our border army be lured out so easily? Cao Wenzhao's brows furrowed tightly: "But I have to praise Zhao Sheng, I really didn't expect him to have such a strong command ability...... Wrong...... It shouldn't be Zhao Sheng in command, it should be someone in the thousand strange reinforcements who are waving the way...... I don't know where he is sacred. ”

Just a little bit of time when Cao Wenzhao was stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang's army rang out another "dong" drum, this time it was really going to attack, because in the wave of temptation just now, Zhu Yuanzhang had already discovered that it was almost impossible to induce the three-eyed god guns of the border army to fire at the firing range, and this pass had to be stiff after all, but fortunately, the strength of the officers and soldiers was scattered in the four directions, so there were not many three-eyed eyes in his direction, only thirty or forty, Such a number did not pose much of a threat to his thousand-strong troops.

"Knock knock!"

"Forward!"

"Attack!"

"We have 8,000 soldiers to fight, don't be afraid of Cao Wenzhao, he only has 1,000 people!" Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf shouted loudly in the army to boost morale, such encouragement is very necessary, if they hadn't been shouting like this, the miscellaneous troops who lit the lamps would not have dared to take the initiative to attack this farewell army, and they were scared away.

"Be brave, if you are afraid and dare not move forward, delay time, as soon as the north and south battalions of officers and soldiers arrive, we will be defeated, and we must take Cao Wenzhao before the arrival of the north and south battalions to survive......" Zhao Sheng, who lit the lamp, himself was also shouting loudly, encouraging his soldiers.

Although Zhao Sheng's tactical level is not high, at this time, the fool also knows that he must take Cao Wenzhao's troops before the arrival of the northern and southern battalions, otherwise everything will be over. He didn't want to die yet, so he tore out his throat and kept shouting, and when his old brothers heard their own leader give orders so hard, they were united in their hearts and planned to fight here.

The drums were dense, and the lighting department and Zhu Yuanzhang department began a fierce charge from the east and west directions at the same time......

"Fire!"

"Hit!"

The arrows broke through the air and covered the military formations of the two armies, and Zhao Sheng's troops basically had no archers, so the process of the center was basically shot by the officers and soldiers in vain, but on the other side, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's 1,000 elite soldiers had bows, and the officers and soldiers faced with the soldiers in this direction only had more than 100 bows, so the officers and soldiers in this direction were basically shot in vain......

After a miserable scream and the sound of shields receiving arrows, Zhao Sheng's department and the officers and soldiers' department couldn't stand the light losses, but Zhu Yuanzhang's department was almost unscathed, and only a few unlucky bear children were scratched by the arrows.

The distance between the two armies then continued to approach...... Finally entered the distance of fifty paces......

"Bang bang bang!" The three-eyed firebolt spit out a tongue of fire, this rough firebolt is really as Zhu Yuanzhang said, the range is much inferior to that of the bird, and it can only be fired and killed at a distance of fifty steps, in fact, the accuracy of this firebolt is also extremely low, because the three guns are all ignited and shot with the firewire respectively, and the speed of the firerope burning is fast and slow, so it is impossible for the three-eyed firearm to be fired at the same time with three bullets......

At the moment of firing, there is always a subtle time difference between the three guns, and the recoil caused by the first bullet will cause the arm holding the gun to vibrate, and the barrel will be raised or depressed, and from the second bullet onwards, it is basically a stroke of luck.

It's okay to use this kind of firearm to scare war horses, and it's okay to scare useless peasant troops, but it's a bit of a joke to scare Zhu Yuanzhang's elite soldiers, but it's actually not as terrible as a bird's gun. Zhu Yuanzhang's army rushed to the front of the border army as soon as it swept the ground, and the spear array was raised in unison, stabbing it suddenly, and the spear array of officers and soldiers also hurriedly returned fire.

On the other side, Zhao Shengbu, who lit the lamp, was bombarded by the three-eyed eye-pin gun, and was startled, and many thieves peed their pants on the spot, but the troops of the officers and soldiers facing them in that direction were actually only a few hundred, how many firearms and bows and arrows could be shot out by this person? For the lantern sub-department, which has a total number of 7,000 people, it can play a very limited role.

After all, this is not three thousand against seven thousand, but one thousand against seven thousand, considering that Zhu Yuanzhang shared part of the enemy's combat power, that is, a few hundred people against seven thousand, the difference between this is really far away. Even the thief soldiers of Zhao Sheng's army, who had long become a frightened bird, also had the courage to fight at this time.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

The thieves rushed up, hoes and farm tools were waved, and the spear formations of the officers and soldiers attacked each other, and the fight was chaotic, the number of 7,000 people was too much, and it was impossible to enter from the front, so the extra people began to rotate to the two wings, which was the same reason as the army hanging on the left of Wang against Zhu Yuanzhang's 1,000 soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were soon surrounded in the middle, forming a dilemma of facing the enemy on all sides.

In fact...... If the officers and soldiers surrounded in the four directions were thieves like the lantern troops, it didn't matter if the officers and soldiers were surrounded, they could still easily meet the enemy, but the officers and soldiers soon felt that something was wrong, and the pressure from the east of the military formation was too great, because it was a thousand elite soldiers led by Zhu Yuanzhang who were responsible for attacking the east of the officers and soldiers......

The 1,000 men were all equipped with spears made of iron spears, swords hanging from their waists, and the soldiers in the front row were all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets dyed purple, and their equipment level was not far from that of the officers and soldiers. Moreover, the technique of using the spear formation, although it is not as powerful as the border army, but at least it has the strength of Yansui's elite soldiers...... The spear array is used in them, varied, sharp and dexterous, where the hell are the thieves?

An officer's spearman finally stabbed a thief with a spear, but was dissolved by the mandarin duck jacket on the thief's body, and only stabbed the thief, but failed to stab him to death.

Another officer and soldier was attacked by three thieves at the same time, but he couldn't parry, and a big hole was poked out of his abdomen, and he fell down screaming.

"Hold on! Hold! Cao Wenzhao also felt surprised in his heart: "Where did this thief come from?" How powerful it is? I didn't ask the other party's name just now, but it was too careless. ”

Cao Bianjiao also saw that something was wrong, and shouted in his ear: "Uncle, these are not thieves at all, right?" Didn't the rebels come from and join the bandits? ”

"I don't have time to care where they came from now! Bianjiao, you send fifty people from each side of the north and south, and take them to the eastern formation to resist the more powerful thief soldiers. Cao Wenzhao gave an order to Cao Bianjiao, brandished his sword and loudly boosted morale: "Hold!" Desperately hold on! It won't be long before the second battalion of the north and south will arrive, hold it for half an hour, and we will have the opportunity to counterattack. ”

At this time, Cao Wenzhao really had all kinds of feelings in his heart, he had never put the thief army in his eyes, so he ...... When the thief army used the tactics of scout blockade, he would hastily bring a thousand border troops to kill him directly, but he didn't expect the thief to be so bold and dare to ambush him, and the thief did have the strength to ambush him. Especially those 1,000 soldiers who disguised themselves as scouts and then turned them into pieces were really extraordinary!

"Careless! In the future, we must not hastily pursue the thieves and soldiers, and it is safer to reconnoiter clearly before attacking. He couldn't help but think so.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao didn't know that if he didn't get rid of this habit of despising the peasant army and liking to lead troops to chase indiscriminately, he would fall into the ambush plan of the righteous army when he was chasing Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng on June 28, the eighth year of Chongzhen, and was surrounded by tens of thousands of thieves by the king of troubled times, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing and others.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not idle, he supervised the battle, and silently estimated the time: "Calculate the time...... In another half an hour, reinforcements from the north and south will be coming......"

Xu Renjie nodded: "Brother Zhu, what should I do?" The 1,000 enemy forces here have not yet been taken, and if the north and south come again, we will lose. ”

"Hey, I never thought of eating the thousand people brought by Cao Wenzhao, his troops are in the middle of the way, if he eats this way, he won't be able to solve it before the north and south rush to reinforce him, so my goal is to stare at the 1,000 people in the north camp from the beginning......"

"Huh? Our goal is the North Road? But...... It's so fierce here......"

"Wait and see!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly passed down a few military orders, and his military band did not stop drumming, still maintaining the rhythm of the attack, but the troops were actually slowly withdrawing, slowly letting the east side out of the way, and letting the troops who lit the lamps take over his attack. Although the person who lit the lamp was very far from his combat effectiveness, he could barely surround 1,000 people with 7,000 people, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's army arraying on the periphery, Cao Wenzhao did not dare to force a surprise attack.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came out, he pointed to the north and said with a smile: "Let's go to the north with a thousand people and intercept the 1,000 officers and soldiers of the North Battalion!" ”
