"That's the banner of the head of Zhiyingtian, right?" He asked Lupin sideways.

"Exactly." Lu Ping replied: "Although this Zheng Yunming is a civilian official, he also leads an army in an orderly manner, and it is very rare for a powerless Southern Korean official to do this. ”

"It's a pity that he has been building an army for too short a time." Xia Quan smiled: "After all, I don't know how stupid it would be for Lu Dao to pull a hastily trained team onto the battlefield. ”

Lu Ping stared at the iron whip in his hand: "Today we are going to let him know the Dao and know the Dao." ”

"The man I brought out." Xia Quan nodded: "Order the three armies, arrange the formation according to the usual formation!" ”

The Red Jacket Army was an army formed by the peasants of the north, and its leaders were either from civilian or local clans, and few of them had formal military training. Their usual marching and formation are all the experience summed up in countless battles, although compared with the national regular army with a bit of a wild flavor, but concise and effective.

Xia Quan's habit is to put a few rows of young recruits in front of the team, they are cannon fodder responsible for draining the enemy's physical strength, and there is no need for them to flee because of defeat, because the veteran troops of a hundred battles are deployed behind them, monitoring their movements at any time.

Xia Quan himself followed behind the veteran array with a small number of personal soldiers, and after the veterans had full contact with the enemy, he pressed up from behind, and entered the battle through the gap in the front array, completely defeating the enemy.

If the enemy is strong and the battle cannot be resolved at once, Lupin will lead the rear team to reinforce the front team and fight the last one.

"Start arranging!" Lupin shouted.

Xia Quan looked at the opposite formation, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Tell the kids to line up deeper." He commanded: "Shrink the width and add some depth to the formation." ”

Lupin was puzzled, in terms of the art of war, the larger the contact area with the enemy, the faster the combat effectiveness of the troops can be released, and in a narrow frontal engagement, there will be a large number of soldiers standing in the back row doing nothing, which is a waste of the overall combat strength of the army.

Xia Quan noticed the expression on his Qianhu's face, he pointed ahead and said, "Look at the terrain of Zheng Yunming's formation. ”

With their backs to the camp, the Song army spread out a position on the hillside, facing the De'an army head-on. "They set up in front of the big camp because they were not confident enough in their field capabilities." Xia Quan sneered: "Be prepared, once you lose the field battle, you will retreat to the big camp and hold on to the camp." ”

"Good shrewd calculation."

Lu Pingden understood the intention of the Lord to deepen the formation: "Although he knows how to repair the camp, he doesn't understand the truth of the people on the battlefield. ”

"If we go up to engage in the battle in the usual formation, once they can't hold on, they will flee into the camp and hold out. But if only limited pressure is exerted on them at the beginning, their overall formation is thinned, and at the same time the enemy formation is constantly attacked, the enemy's formation can be quickly broken up, and then they will have no more barriers to rely on when they rush in and occupy the camp while their camp is empty. ”

Xia Quan smiled and said, "In the future, after I go back to the north, you have to fight well, and with your qualifications, it is not impossible to become a marshal in the future." ”

Lupin exclaimed, "Please don't say anything about retreat!" In the hearts of the brothers of the First Army, you are still the hero who is invincible in Jianghuai! ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now." Xia Quan smiled and tightened the ribbon on his body: "Let's eliminate the scholar on the opposite side first." ”

Amid the sound of war drums in the distance, De'an's rebels began to march in the direction of the Tulong military camp.

Wang Deng noticed the unusualness of the opponent's formation.

"The other party is looking down on us," he said to Zheng Yunming, who was watching the enemy's formation beside him: "Do you see this long military formation, does it look like a huge iron cone gun?" ”

"That's the enemy, afraid of slapping us back into the camp and shrinking up." Zheng Yunming snorted: "Therefore, I want to use this spear to pierce the entire formation and firmly nail the whole army to the field." ”

"Sure enough, it is worthy of the Xia Quan who charged and was sharp back then." The sound of war drums shook Zheng Yunming's heart, and inadvertently his face gradually became murderous: "It's just that he wants to rush away from the formation of my Earth Dragon Army like this, and it's not so easy!" ”

He shouted, "Beat the drums and march!" ”

The four drum cars at the front of the line began to sound drums. As they marched, the sound of drums and small drums continued to play in the large array.

Under the command of the Beidou Banner, the large array of the Tulong Army also began to move forward.

The forwards of the two armies were getting closer and closer, and they could already see each other's words.

Someone in the vanguard of the Earth Dragon Army shouted: "It's Xia Quan!" It's that Xia Quan! ”

Many people couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and in their memories, the impression of Li Quan and the four fierce generals being invincible was still deeply rooted.

Some people unconsciously slowed down, subconsciously hoping that the farther away from the brave veteran would be as far away as possible.

Ge Huai, who was walking at the front of the queue, suddenly raised Changge in his hand and shouted, "What is so terrible about that Xia Quan!" A few years ago, I once destroyed all the martial immortals with the Meng Dutong, and even captured Caizhou of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom! I'm afraid that he is just a Xia Quan! ”

"Don't stop! All follow me! Let Xia Lao'er see the ambition of our Tulong Army! ”

As he spoke, the archers who were at the front of him began to raise their wooden bows. Began to launch intensively towards the Earth Dragon Army.

Feathered arrows kept falling in the ranks of the Earth Dragon Army, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and slowly fell, and the rest of the footsteps did not stop, stepping past the groans of the wounded and continuing to move forward.

The archers on both wings of the Song army also began to fight back, and the sergeants of these general shooting battalions were urged by Peng Man to strictly train the skills of bows and arrows, although they could not be practiced overnight, but the momentum of fighting back bravely was not weaker than the oncoming archers of the De'an rebels, and the arrows were like flying locusts flying in the sky towards the enemy.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, a hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps and ten steps!

One of the generals at the forefront of the rebels shouted and rushed at him with an iron spear.

Ge Huai stepped forward, slammed his iron spear away, and stabbed the general's armor leaf with a backhand, stabbing a hole in the lower abdomen.

He smirked and pulled out his blood-drenched Changge, shouting at the thousands of enemies who were roaring and pounced, "Welcome to the hunting ground of the Earth Dragon Army!" ”

Like two angry bulls, in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the two armies used all their strength and pressed their horns together.

The recruits in the front row of the De'an Army couldn't resist the flying halberds of the Tulong Army's halberds, and were pushed forward by the veterans behind them, and they were soon killed.

After the main force of the De'an rebels rushed into the battlefield, they immediately stopped the advance momentum of the Tulong army. The battle line is deadlocked between the veterans of the two sides, but Xia Quan's subordinates are considered to be the elite of the momentary entanglement, and there is still a certain gap between them and the soldiers of the Tulong Army who have only experienced a year of battle. They skillfully used the spears and halberds in their hands to defuse every move and style of the opposite stabbing again and again.

In the stalemate, Xia Quanwu used the iron knife in his hand to lead his own soldiers to join the battle group.

Surprisingly, despite the superimposed pressure, the large array of the Earth Dragon Army did not collapse, and the soldiers in the vanguard shouted "The righteousness is mine!" The slogan, the desperate battle, and the enemy are entangled to the death.

But even so, the strength of the spirit cannot last after all. The strong pressure of Xia Quan's army pressed the ranks of the Tulong army to retreat continuously. Some of the recruits in the rear have even turned around and fled towards the camp.

Xia Quan waved his hand and split a spear sergeant of the Earth Dragon Army with a wooden spear in half, and shouted: "Zheng Yunming is nothing more than that!" Sons and daughters work hard! Kill the old man into the camp and capture Zheng Yunming alive! ”

Behind him rang out a thunderous echo: "Kill the enemy camp!" Capture Zheng Yunming alive! ”

In accordance with Xia Quan's arrangement, the hundred households of the Tanma Red Army have been leading their Tanma Chi people to fight outside the battlefield.

He saw Xia Quan's Chinese army constantly advancing, and he didn't feel half happy, and the experience of marching and fighting for many years told him that Xia Quan was going to be in danger.

In the eyes of Bo Naitai, Xia Quan's Chinese army squeezed the central forces of the Tulong Army and retreated step by step, but the Tulong Army on both wings was not repulsed together.

On the contrary, they are pressuring the rebels in front of them to retreat.

The overall formation of the Earth Dragon Army had formed a huge crescent moon, embedding Xia Quanhe's team into the inside of the crescent.

The key to this is the inconspicuous miscellaneous troops that have been on both flanks of the Tulong Army.

The moment these miscellaneous soldiers actually came into contact with the enemy, Bernatai concluded that they could not be miscellaneous soldiers, or even ordinary troops.

Beneath the shabby linen garment was a shiny iron armor, and under the dusty hat was a sturdy headband.

They discarded the messy and tattered instruments, and took out their swords, guns, swords, and halberds from under the cover of rotten linen. Rushed into the unprepared flanks of the German Army.

Liu Quan, who rushed to the front on the left flank, stabbed left and right with an iron spear, and came and went in the enemy's formation, like a fierce tiger, and the soldiers behind him killed like thunder, cutting down the enemies one after another.

At the other end, Hu Yanyu brandished an iron whip and led fifty envoys to break into the enemy's sword and shield formation on the right flank, knocked down a banner head with one whip, and shouted: "The left army is the first, follow me!" ”

The two little teeth of the crescent moon array are gradually getting closer to each other while constantly pressing their opponents forward.

Seeing this, Ben Naitai shook his head and said, "These Sinan people are fighting some stupid battles. ”

He turned and raised his arms and shouted, "Men of Kree, it's time for us to play!" ”

A hundred cavalrymen raised their spears in their hands and shouted in unison: "Baturu! "Baturu!"

Bernatai placed a chirping arrow on his bow, and the bow pointed diagonally at the sky.

Feathered arrows with a terrible chirp swept through the sky, heading towards the gap in the encirclement that was about to close.
