Chapter XXVII: A Field Battle

For Fucheng, the pressure that can be given to Liu Xian has been exhausted.

Instead of expressing indignation and anger at Lu Youxiong's stoppage, it is better to ask where the friendly troops are in front of a group of civil and military personnel!

Cheekiness, face, for several big people in Fucheng, it is even more angry than a little Qianzong, even if this Qianzong is very capable of fighting!

The next morning, the sky was breaking, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light gray veil.

The eastern sky has revealed a touch of white, and clouds gather in the sky as if gathering, and the light of the rising sun is reflected like a red brocade, revealing a faint crimson. Liu Xian didn't even look for the shadow of Lu Youxiong's army on the virtual map, even if Lu Youxiong was forced to march forward under the pressure of the city, it was impossible to march at night.

Liu Xian's eyes were on the rebels on the other side. Wei Ming's report said that the brigade of rebels had crossed the Bao River at night and had gathered with the remnants of the east bank. The red dot cluster on the virtual map, which had expanded many times, confirmed the correctness of Wei Ming's report.

There must have been 1,000 rebel infantry and more than 300 horses driving across the east bank, and the map shows that there were more than 1,800 people in the village and more than 300 war horses.

"Huailiang, whether we win or lose this battle is all on your Rocket Team. If you pull it at the critical moment, I'll cut you-"

Liu Xian looked at the right-hand arm in front of him, and his mouth was murderous.

Cao Huailiang patted his chest, "Fifth brother, don't worry." Team Rocket is by no means a cowardly softie! "If there is really a big basket on the battlefield, without Liu Xian cutting him, Cao Huailiang himself will kill himself. The enemy in this battle has more than 300 horses, and the rocket is useless, and Liu Xian's entire effort is over.

The waning moon was thrown to the horizon like a pebble that had lost its luster. Slowly, the hazy gray between the heavens and the earth faded, and the cool light gauze like mist spread in the air, until the moment when the sun jumped out of the clouds, thousands of rays of light sprinkled down, and the light gauze was gradually exposed in front of people's eyes.

There are many rivers in Hanzhong, the water vapor is humid and heavy, every autumn and winter, there is more water mist in the early morning, and it is the same today.

Liu Xian's army had finished eating, and the team rushed out and lined up a large hollow phalanx in the open space in front of the village.

At the head were three columns of shotgunslingers, brand-new shotguns glowing black in the morning sun. This should be thanks to Zhang Shoudai, if he hadn't sent 300 shotguns, Liu Xian would not have been able to redress all the shotgunners in the main army.

Behind the three columns of spearmen was a platoon of pikemen and a platoon of sword and shield men, and eight accompanying mountain splitting cannons and corresponding baggage, as well as part of the troops, were in the center of the large phalanx.

The phalanx is thick on the front and thin on three sides.

On the side of the rebels, the leader under the banner of Chen did not retreat. Drums and trumpets sounded, and 1,500 infantry and more than 300 horses also lined up in formation and rushed towards Liu Xian's army, which was slowly advancing. Their speed was much faster than that of Liu Xian's department, so the formation was also much looser and scattered.

"Uh......h Woo ......" The dull sound of the horn sounded, a command to speed up. Seeing the opponent's army coming, Liu Xian ordered to speed up.

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and the two drum carts in the center of the phalanx shook with a bang.

The marching ranks began to change their paces as they marched, and the soldiers were all trained in the strict training of the boot camp, and the footsteps and drums were quickly agreed.

In fact, when the training team was walking in unison, Liu Xian was worried about one thing, how to make the whole army unified on the battlefield. Is it beating a snare drum like the Europeans?

The idea was instantly abandoned by him!

Whether it is from aesthetics or personal feelings, he can't accept it.

And what about using a waist drum? Ansai waist drum !!!

After thinking about it, Liu Xian agreed. Although he still can't bear to see it aesthetically, at least emotionally it is much better than the snare drum.

Then, in view of the fact that he had a small army in the short term, especially a small number of musketeers, Liu Xian set up a drum cart in the army. This is at least at the brigade scale, a drum cart, enough to send out a thunderous sound that shakes everyone's eardrums.

"Knock ......, knock ......" cowhide drum shakes people's hearts. The sound of hundreds of people with footsteps and drums is even more shocking.

Ma Wu traveled south and north, and heard that the saying of "drums and trumpets sounding" on the battlefield was mentioned countless times in the book, but he only listened to it. Li Lanjun also had drums and trumpets in battle, but it was limited to very simple contacts. And now......

The noise and momentum on the other side really shocked him. In shock, he didn't realize that his own soldiers and horses, who were originally high morale, were ...... at this moment It seems that morale is slowly lounging......

Liu Xian was riding on a horse, looking down from the horse, his team in blue and black clothes was really stylish.

The squad leader has a yellow line on his armband, the squad leader has two yellow lines on his armband, the squadron leader has three yellow lines, and the captain has four yellow lines, and only Liu Xian's armband has a red line sewn on it. Crimson ......

The black flag is embroidered with a fierce tiger, roaring in the sky, and the momentum is overwhelming. Its embroidery demeanor is far from lifelike, but it has a momentum that swallows thousands of miles.

This is Liu Xian's military flag -- the Black Tiger Banner.

He didn't want to play any tricks on this, first, he thought it was unnecessary, and second, he felt that the military flag should be frugal.

The tiger is a symbol of courage and domineering, and China has a tradition of using the tiger as a military flag since ancient times. And black is the color chosen by Liu Xian [to avoid the taboo of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in fact, he wants to choose red more], so it is the Black Tiger Flag.

A squadron with a military flag, the flag tied to the elongated spear, the flag bearers held high the black flag, the snow bright spear pointed straight up to the sky.

"Liu Xian, thanks to the two battles in Liulin Town, he gained a great reputation, and it turned out that he was a man who didn't know how to fight. The main forces of the elite are concentrated in the front, and the rear of the two wings is so weak.

Zhuang Xinquan! ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Take the horse team and kill me from behind the ass surnamed Liu. You're going to stab me hardβ€”"

"Hahaha......"

Ma Wu said rudely, and the surrounding guards and leaders couldn't help laughing. The look that was originally shocked by Liu Xian's army immediately eased or even didn't worry at all.

Ma Wu was careless just now, but after all, he was experienced, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately came up with this method and moved back to the situation.

......More than 300 horsemen rushed out on horseback, diagonally staggering the front of Liu Xianjun's army.

Liu Xian was unmoved, the drums were still beating, and the march was still the same.

"Press it up, suck the front of Liu Thief for me-" General Ma waved his big hand, and the 1,500 infantry immediately divided into a third and pressed towards the front of Liu Xian's army.

Among them, shotguns, bows and arrows accounted for more than half of the 500 people.

Liu Xian should be glad that the Blue Battalion Righteous Army under Baocheng City, although it was the main essence of the Blue Dynasty Pillar, its initial role was to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and it did not carry heavy artillery fire at all. Otherwise, he'll have fun. For example, the heavy artillery that was bombed in Liulin Town at the beginning, there were two of them-
