The rain kept pouring down, between Zhenyuan and the camp of the Blue Banner, the trampled smooth ground was covered with yellow mud, and occasionally a piece of muddy water flashed a shocking red, and the earthworms hidden deep in the ground crawled out in a hurry, crawling happily in the muddy water, leaving eye-catching marks, but then they were flooded by the muddy water.

Su Shun was half-lying in the big tent comfortably, holding a wine glass in his hand, slowly tasting the wine, and two slender women were kneeling in front of him, slowly beating his thighs.

Zhenyuan's Dingzhou army is the veteran of the original Dingzhou Department Wei Xin, this is a veteran who has long been defending the city and has experienced, fifty years old, in his military career for decades, more than half of it has been spent in the city, he has his unique experience in defending the city, Su Shun only after attacking once, he knew that he had encountered a hard bone to gnaw, and he would never do anything for Bayar, the grassland people have never been good at attacking Jiancheng, this time besieging three fortresses, why not let Long Xiaojun fight, Why did the Wolf Ben Army not fight on the grounds of containing the garrison in the forest, and let the other departments attack the fortifications? Su Shun snorted and sneered in his heart, Bayar wanted to take this opportunity to kill the strength of the other departments and kill two birds with one stone, but others are not all fools, look at Fusen, don't you have the same thoughts as yourself?

According to Su Shun's meaning, what kind of city to fight, according to the old routine of the past, bypassing the fortified city, and directly hitting the hinterland of Dingzhou, Li Qing only stationed 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers in Shahe Town, how could he be the opponent of the 100,000 people who surged up on his side? Logistics? Jokes, when the steppe people fight, what logistics do they have to go through, they plunder there when they get there, and they will fight to feed the war, which is right, so attacking the fortified city is the shortest of avoiding the enemy and promoting the enemy's strengths.

"Patriarch!" A red general broke into the tent, which made Su Shun frown, snorted, raised his hand, and motioned for the two Meiji to retreat.

"What's the matter, panic?"

"Patriarch, the movement of troops in Zhenyuan City is abnormal, just now, Wei Xin actually opened the city gate, and about three thousand troops left the city, and they actually wanted to fight with us!" The general shouted.

"What?" Su Shun's first reaction was that the general was talking nonsense, "You are not mistaken, Wei Xin's thousand-year-old turtle is actually willing to poke his head out to fight me in the field?" ”

"How can you be mistaken, patriarch, those three thousand people are now in battle according to the city, you listen, the war drums are beating, they are inviting battle!"

Su Shun swept out of the big tent in a few big steps, climbed up to the high platform, sure enough, in the continuous drizzle, with the chariot as the lead, the Dingzhou soldiers lined up in a neat large phalanx, standing according to the city, a young general stood high on a command car, and the drummers on his left and right were beating the invitation war drum vigorously.

"Fuck, what medicine did Old Man Wei take wrong?" Su Shun was annoyed and scolded, jumped down from the high platform, and walked towards the big tent. "He formed a formation according to the city, posing a turtle shell array, those damn 100-round crossbows are the soul hook knife of Lord Yama, Lao Tzu didn't fall for this, ignored him, and let him knock it."

"Patriarch!" The general took a step forward and said in a low voice: "We will not attack the city, but now that the other party is out of the city to fight, if we still should not fight, if this matter reaches His Majesty the Emperor, it will be unfavorable to you, according to the law promulgated now, Your Majesty can deprive you of the command of the army at any time!" Besides, if the other party invites us to fight, if we avoid it, it will also be a big blow to morale! ”

Su Shun paused, thought for a while, and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange?" Wei Xin is a turtle in the whole body, why did he suddenly go out of the city to invite a fight? Is there anything strange in this? He only has a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, and 3,000 out of the city, so what if he fights a big victory, he kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 himself, how to defend the city next? That's not right! ”

"Release scouts in the direction of Dingzhou, and let them go farther away." Su Shun said to himself: "Li Qing won't target me, right?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Anyway, since the other party has already set up a shelf, we always have to fight a dozen, so let's do it, you lead the foot soldiers to knock Wei Xin with a heavy shield." ”

The general took the order and left, Su Shun shook his head, he still felt extremely strange, the country is easy to change, his surname is difficult to change, and the thousand-year-old turtle stream suddenly changed his surname, which is not a good thing.

"All-arms war!" Su Shun ordered loudly.

Hong Haifeng is a group of cutting-edge generals who have emerged in the Dingzhou army, and it is also from Li Qing's personal guard battalion, these days he has been defending the city defense, but he has been suffocated, and today he finally went out of the city to fight, so that he was excited about this, and today is not a small fight, but a big fight, he is just an introduction here, seeing the drums in the big camp of the blue flag, groups of foot soldiers poured out of the city, and couldn't help frowning slightly, everyone on the other side was holding heavy shields, marching in formation, although the queue was not very neat, However, the rows of heavy shields covered the foot soldiers tightly, which offset the power of the Dingzhou Baifa crossbow to the greatest extent.

The command flag in his hand waved, the eight-bull crossbow on the city, the trebuchet began to fire, the back of the fortified city, can get strong support from the city, Hong Haifeng is confident that he can withstand the impact of several times the opponent's troops.

"A pint bow, shoot back, five shots in a row!" Hong Haifeng ordered the flag to wave.

With a muffled sound, a rain of arrows shot out of the Dingzhou army, rushing into the sky, at the same time, trebuchets, eight-bull crossbows also tore through the defense of the heavy shield, just at this time, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, the cooperation between the two sides was appropriate, and the foot soldiers on the opposite side immediately fell.

After a moment of panic, the heavy shield quickly combined again, and with firm steps, it moved forward, and at the same time, the strong crossbow and trebuchet on the side of the blue flag also began to fire.

"Hundred rounds of crossbows, shoot!" Hong Haifeng ordered loudly.

The buzzing sound sounded, and the distinctive voice of the Baifa crossbow sounded immediately, and the arrows like flying locusts shot out, hitting the heavy shield strongly, and the barbarian soldiers holding the heavy shield were slightly unable to bear the strength, and the heavy shield was slightly crooked, and the crossbow arrows that were as dense as flying locusts took advantage of the gap to enter and nail people down in rows, but the barbarians' foot soldiers were still pushing forward, and the Baifa crossbow began to be damaged under the focus of the opponent's trebuchet.

"Hundred rounds of crossbows, retreat, infantry, raise guns, three steps forward!"

With a bang, the bright spear was raised, and the neat line of foot soldiers took three steps forward, opened a certain gap, and after pausing for a little to straighten out, in the sharp whistle of the sentry commanders, the rows strode forward.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The two sides engaged, the spear stabbed out, poked heavily on the heavy shield, at this time the several rows of gunmen of the Dingzhou soldiers have opened a distance of several meters, the first row did not hesitate to stab the spear in their hands, and the blue flag soldiers in the first round after blocking the first round, immediately abandoned the shield, holding a steel knife, short body into the queue of Dingzhou soldiers, knife chopping axe, Dingzhou soldiers turned to the ground.

The Dingzhou soldiers in the first row did not pay attention to these barbarians who came in, but accelerated their pace and moved forward quickly, and the barbarians who had just entered were immediately stabbed by the spearmen in the second row, and no one could stop such a uniform assassination, and they were immediately stabbed to the ground. By this time, the spearmen in the first row had shrunk inward, and the gaps of the slashed soldiers were immediately filled, and the two short sections were quickly filled by the soldiers in the second row.

In the big camp, Su Shun, who looked at the battlefield, shook his head more than once, the essence of the foot soldiers, no one can compare with the Dingzhou soldiers, but fortunately, these foot soldiers on this side are not their own lifeblood, and they don't care about the loss at all. It is good to be able to consume a little of the elite of Dingzhou in the field battle, just when Su Shun was staring at the battlefield and wondering when to withdraw his troops, a scout Pegasus came, with a nervous face, ran straight to Su Shun, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Patriarch, I found that a large number of cavalry from Dingzhou are coming." ”

Su Shun shook his hand, jumped to his feet and said: ", you know that there is something wrong, how many people, how many soldiers and horses?" ”

The scout said: "Patriarch, the other party swept away most of our brothers, only a few of us ran back, looking at the size of the cavalry, it was probably between one and twenty thousand. ”

"One or two thousand?" Su Shun jumped up, "Li Qing is pouring out of the nest, Mingjin, collect the troops, the whole army is ready to retreat, ask for help from the Long Xiao army, let them come to support us, one or two thousand cavalry, almost equal to my Zhenglan Banner." ”

Su Shun shouted, fortunately he had prepared before, otherwise he would have caused chaos if he retreated in a hurry now.

The gong sounded, and the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner began to retreat, and the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner alternately covered the retreat to the camp, and at this time, the main force of the Zhenglan Banner in the camp had begun to pull out of the camp.

"Onward!" Hong Haifeng waved the command flag, "Hold them down!" ”

At this time, Wei Xin, who was above the city, had already seen the smoke and dust raised from afar, and knew that the large-scale cavalry in Dingzhou had begun to appear, and informed Hong Haifeng through the flag to stick to the opponent, and the main force of the Zhenglan Banner could not move, but the foot soldiers who were fighting with the Dingzhou soldiers could stay.

Su Shun is already a foot soldier who can't care about still fighting desperately on the battlefield, 20,000 blue flag cavalry began to pull out one by one, Su Shun doesn't want to fight with the Dingzhou soldiers here, that is, he wants to fight, at least after meeting with the Long Xiao army, with an absolute advantage in troops, he will not lose the capital, and now he wants to read hard and resist the Dingzhou soldiers, he will not do it. Fight your old book, how can you live the rest of your life?

As for those soldiers, forget it, I can't take care of them.

The Dingzhou cavalry swept over, but unfortunately, Shang Haibo, who wanted to do a lot of chaos, found that the main force of the Zhenglan Banner had left the battlefield, and only some foot soldiers who had no fighting spirit were left on the battlefield, and they were being driven all over the mountains by their own cavalry.

"Su Shun is so cunning, he slipped away so fast!" Shang Haibo shook his head regretfully, "Order the whole army, feint pursuit, scare Su Shun to run a little farther, hook the Long Xiao army to this side, and then the whole army immediately turned around and went straight to Dingyuan." ”

At this time, the 3,000 foot soldiers commanded by Hong Haifeng were already cleaning the battlefield, and the elated soldiers cheered loudly and saluted the galloping cavalry.
