Chapter 521: The Beginning of the Fierce Battle!
~~~~~~
At night, the camp of the exile army outside the east gate of Luoyang City was brightly lit, and the heads of people were moving, and there were several teams of no less than 10,000 people, from the north and south, gathering towards the east!
Although the cold wind was howling, the noisy sound coming from the direction of the camp of the Wandering Army could clearly reach the camp of the Caishi Army a few miles away!
"General, it looks like they want to attack us first!" In the flickering firelight, Huo Lang glanced at the direction of the camp of the Wandering People's Army with some hideousness.
Liu Ruyi's face didn't have too many expressions!
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and what should come will always come!
There are some things that you simply can't choose!
It's just that these outcasts are a little too naΓ―ve, and this set of tactics against the sea of people who have tried and tested the officers and soldiers, in the face of the powerful firepower of the Caishi Army, is destined to suffer some hardships!
"Let Chunwa's Suzaku Camp be in front, and you and Pu Sheng will be on the right and left! Be careful to defend well, and if they don't come, don't act rashly! Liu Ruyi glanced at Huolang and said a little coldly.
"Yes!"
~~~~~~
The night was getting darker, and it was already past a while, and the direction of the camp of the Wandering Army was still noisy, but they didn't seem to have any signs of attacking immediately!
On an artificially constructed earth slope to the east of the Caishi Army camp, tall sandbags have been piled up all around, and the top is covered by thick wooden frames and earth and sand, building a simple but solid high bunker.
At this time, Liu Ruyi was standing in the bunker with the prison army Wang Chengen, looking down on the entire battlefield condescendingly.
The formation of the Caishi Army camp is basically according to the formation of the Vermilion Bird Battalion in front, the Qinglong and White Tiger battalions are on the left and right, the Chinese army is in the center, and the Xuanwu is behind!
Since the movement of the Wandering Army is so obvious, it is obvious that they also want to rely on their own numerical advantage to cause strong psychological pressure on the Caishi Army!
However, the more ink they had, the more time they had to prepare for the enemy!
In this land with a radius of less than 20 miles, a war that is about to change the overall situation of the Central Plains is about to start!
~~~~~~
Time ticked by, about another hour passed, a layer of snow-white frost had fallen on the ground, both sides of the battlefield, everyone's hearts, collapsed to their throats, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last moment!
Wang Chengen also couldn't help it, and said tremblingly: "Qi Guogong, there are a large number of displaced people, it seems that tonight, they are going to pour out of the nest!" There are only so many of us, this ......"
Liu Ruyi quietly picked up the small wine pot on the side, took a sip lightly, turned his head to look at Wang Chengen and smiled: "What?" Princess, are you scared? Or don't have confidence in me and the Colored Stone Army? β
"No, no, no! Miscellaneous people definitely don't mean that! It's just, it's just that the waiting in front of this station is really, it's really too tormenting! The heart and liver of the miscellaneous family are about to jump out! Wang Chengen patted his chest vigorously and said.
Liu Ruyi smiled, "What the prince said is good!" War, in fact, is not as terrible as imagined! The most terrifying thing is to think crankily before the battle! Li Chuang can be regarded as having a heart, and he actually knows that the Tao is the best thing to attack the heart! Then let's wait! β
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he leaned against the earthen wall on the side casually, quietly closed his eyes and recuperated!
Wang Chengen saw Liu Ruyi's confident appearance, and his heart was a little fixed, but looking at the faintly flickering firelight not far away, coupled with the cheers and howls of the Wandering Army from time to time, he still couldn't accept it calmly, his left hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and his right hand was firmly holding a short knife hanging from his waist!
~~~~~~
After a long time, a few terrible arrows suddenly sounded in the southern sky, and several dark rockets swept through the sky with a few fires, and in an instant, the direction of the camp of the Wandering Army was cheering, and the black pressed a large number of figures with no end in sight, like ants, swept towards the position of the Caishi Army!
Liu Ruyi opened his eyes violently, and shouted at the soldiers on the side of the bunker: "Send a signal, prepare to fight!" β
"Yes!"
In a moment, the faint murmur of the antlers sounded in the camp of the Caishi Army, and in the originally dark position, the heads suddenly moved.
The soldiers got out of the warm trenches, filled the projectiles, opened the fire door, filled the gunpowder, and lit the fire rope!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chunwa's Vermilion Bird Battalion is at the forefront of the Caishi Army's formation, and at this time, the overall situation of the Wandering People's Army is charging, and they are the first to bear the brunt!
With the tidal shouts of the Wandering Army getting closer and closer, many soldiers who had just joined the Caishi Army and had no experience in war couldn't wait, and a newly promoted Baihu ran to Chunwa a little anxiously, and asked: "General, they are coming, let's shoot!" β
Chunwa glanced at the hundred households coldly, suddenly raised her palm, and slapped him with a big mouth, "What the hell are you panicking about?" Lao Tzu hasn't given the order yet, you are in a hurry! What is the first article of the Colored Stone Military Regulations? Yes? You recite it to Lao Tzu! β
These hundred households didn't expect Chunwa to have such a big anger, although they were aggrieved, they didn't dare to disobey Chunwa's orders, and hurriedly said: "Report to the general, the first article of the military regulations of the colored stone army, soldiers, to obey orders as their duty!" β
"Excellent! That Lao Tzu orders you now, go back to your position, and wait for the order of the general! If you dare to be so frizzy again, Lao Tzu will correct you on the spot! Chunwa roared loudly.
"Yes!" The hundred households hurriedly bowed deeply to Chunwa, and quickly ran back to the position where they let go.
Watching these hundred households go away, Chunwa couldn't help but sigh deeply, although the overall quality of these recruits is good, they are still very tender! If you want them to become a strong army, there is still a long way to go!
Seeing that Chunwa's face was not good, Cao Jizhou, the general on the side, said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be angry about this!" These recruit eggs are already good! I think that when my Lao Cao went to the battlefield for the first time, his pants were scared to pee, I'm afraid they can't compare to them! β
Chunwa shook her head, "Brother Cao, I finally understand the general's hard work now!" Why don't we take the initiative to attack the outcasts! β
Cao Jizhou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chunwa with some doubts.
"They're still too tender! Far from being able to bear the general's trust! Chunwa suddenly smiled, but her eyes were full of determination, "It's okay!" Let these damn outcasts be the stepping stones for these recruits! β
~~~~~~
At this time, a large crowd of the Wandering People's Army had already rushed to within a hundred steps of the Caishi Army's position, and through the flickering firelight, their hideous faces could already be seen!
Chunwa clenched her teeth and shouted: "Pass my military order, and the bird soldiers fire!" β
"Yes!"
In a moment, 'whoosh', three fiery red feathered arrows rushed into the sky!
In an instant, the fire at the front of the Suzaku Battalion flickered, the birds chirped in unison, and the projectiles wrapped in the firelight rushed fiercely into the crowd of the Wandering People's Army!
The impact of these outcasts has no rules at all, and the only thing that depends on it is that there are many people!
"Ahh With the first scream, the first exile army fell to the ground, and soon, this cry of pain spread rapidly, and the exile army that rushed to the front fell to the ground!
But there are so many of them that you can't see the edge at a glance!
In addition, it was dark night, and the death of their companions in front of them could not stop them from moving forward at all, they could only follow the torrent of the crowd and continue to rush forward without stopping!
'Bang~Bang~Bang'!
Round after round of birds, the forward position of the Vermilion Bird Battalion was soon filled with gunsmoke, but the sky was dark, the lights were blind, and the visibility of the line of sight was extremely low!
Although the Wanderers Army suffered a lot of losses, they were like a swarm of man-eating ants that had rolled into a ball, and they couldn't stop their footsteps at all, and rushed forward desperately!
"Birdman, fire!"
"Pikemen, get ready to come and take them!"
Chunwa was also a little angry at this time, brandished the steel knife in her hand, and shouted loudly, guiding the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion forward!
Soon, the spearmen of the Suzaku Battalion, who rushed out of the trenches, caught fire with the swarthy tide of the Wandering People's Army, fighting and shouting!
~~~~~~
At this time, it was Li Zicheng's generals Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun who led the Liumin army to fight the outpost, and they originally attacked the north gate of Luoyang City, because of the proposal of Ma Shouying, Li Zicheng transferred them to the eastern front, preparing to destroy Liu Ruyi's department first!
It's just that at this time, most of the people who are charging forward are some hungry cannon fodder, and the bird soldiers of the Colored Stone Army have already caused them heavy losses, but because of the night, they did not find the excessive casualties of their companions, but as soon as the pikemen of the Colored Stone Army came up, they obviously felt a huge pressure!
Rush further, and you can't rush anymore!
"Brother Flying Tiger (Liu Tichun is nicknamed Flying Tiger), the officers and troops in front are too hard, and our brothers can't hold it anymore! Wow, what should I do now! Seeing that the homeless army in front of him was unable to move an inch, and some people fell to the ground, but were forced back by the Caishi army, Yuan Zongdi couldn't sit still, turned his horse's head, and went straight to Liu Tichun.
"Damn, what can I do? Cold! King Chuang is watching us from behind! Yuan Ye, it's no longer possible to count on these miscellaneous pieces! Why don't you and I lead the elite soldiers, break through from both wings, and kill the momentum of this official army first! There are so many of us, they are not our opponents! β
Liu Tichun was born in a reckless manner, and his gangsterism was very heavy, much more ruthless than Yuan Zongdi, who had read the book, seeing that the army's attack was frustrated at this time, his first thought was not to shrink the whole army, but to rely on the chaos to take advantage of the fire!
Yuan Zong first looked, the Vermilion Bird Battalion of the Caishi Army in front of him was like a protruding sharp knife, which could never be bypassed, but the two wings were pitch black, maybe there was really an opportunity to take advantage of!
At this time, the army of the displaced people pressed on, and Li Zicheng personally supervised the battle behind him!
Yuan Zongdi's heart was also filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, "What Brother Flying Tiger said is extremely true!" If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! Let's do it! β
Liu Tichun was overjoyed, took out his waist knife violently, and shouted behind him: "Sons, pick up the weapons in your hands and follow Lao Tzu to kill the officers and soldiers!" King Chuang is watching us from behind! Glory and wealth are just around the corner! β
In a moment, Liu Tichun led about 3,000 elites of the Liumin Army and quickly killed towards the right flank of the Vermilion Bird Battalion!
Seeing that Liu Tichun had already made a move, Yuan Zongdi no longer hesitated, and shouted to the soldiers around him, "Let's go, let's rush up too!" β
