(It's late, sorry!) This chapter was also yesterday, and tonight will be two more as usual! ）

"The spears are steady. Zhang Shiyi said you, raise the gun higher......"

"Remember, it's a battle, not a drill, and the first person to leave the phalanx without a military order will be beheaded!"

The officers of each squad began to convey the last order before the battle. The blizzard came as soon as it was said, without a single sign, and Lu Jiu couldn't do anything except curse the thief for a few words. The cavalry under his command was used as a flank support, so it was not advisable to get too close to the infantry phalanx, so there was a whistle, and a hundred and ten men swirled and disappeared into the snow.

Gu Shishi, as the captain of Team A, stood on the far left of the Benheng team, he only felt that his throat and eyes were dry, and his hands were tightly holding the spear with the thickness of his forearm, because he was too hard, he even lost his blood. After all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, and it was strange not to be nervous in the face of cavalry that came and went like the wind and had a strong impact. Coupled with the blizzard, the visibility was extremely low, and the inability to distinguish the enemy situation also made him feel upset and upset. I saw that with the roar, the cavalry and horses of the black pressure were already close at hand, but they were only a few dozen steps away.

The gun array was solemnly waiting, just waiting for the onslaught of the opposing cavalry. Unexpectedly, the cavalry rushed into the diagonal spur, and actually went straight to the right flank of the phalanx. Li Xin, as the direct commander of the phalanx, immediately ordered everyone to take the officers of each team as the center of the circle, and the entire phalanx to make a left turn.

Unbeknownst to him, those cavalry were just an illusory shot, and they suddenly turned around like a trick and headed towards the left flank of the phalanx. At the same time, a dense rain of arrows flew through the snowy curtain.

Li Xinxin's head tightened suddenly, the cavalry's movements were so crisp and neat, and he was good at riding and shooting, not like the fighting style of a horse thief. Before this thought could be realized, the rain of arrows in the sky deviated from its original trajectory under the influence of the relentless blizzard, and none of them hit.

These cavalry have always maintained a stone's throw with the spear phalanx of the captives in the blizzard, constantly doing left and right assaults, and finally they are all for the surprise of the cavalry to do a trick.

Li Xin kept a close eye on the actions of the cavalry, and the orders were constantly issued, and the spear phalanx always maintained the center of each team officer, making a turning movement, and always facing the cavalry in the snow curtain in front of him like a hedgehog.

Li Xin visually measured the number of this cavalry, when it was around five hundred, that is to say, it was the same as the number of his spear phalanx, and he still had Lu Jiu's cavalry cruising around the periphery, once he seized the opportunity, with Lu Jiu's fast and accurate character, he would definitely make them pay a certain price.

The cavalry's cavalry was ruthlessly destroyed by the wind and snow several times, and Lu Jiu couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile when he saw this: "God blame you, the thief, you are a good helper, a wonderful help!" The brothers behind him shouted and screamed, these people were originally born as horse thieves, and they lived a bloody life, and they had gone through the baptism of the first battle against the Manchu Tartars, and they had long been the elite of a hundred battles, although there were only one hundred and ten people, they would not be timid in advance.

It's just that the enemy seems to be circling with the spear phalanx, because the wind and snow are too strong, the cavalry shooting has lost its effect, and the feather arrow side deviates from the trajectory as soon as it leaves the string. As a result, the two sides can only stalemate with each other without contacting each other. Lu Jiu would not rush to attack, he was waiting for the enemy to lose patience before delivering a fierce fatal blow. At the same time, there was another whistle, and the cavalry cavalry quietly turned to the rear of the enemy.

Different from Lu Jiu's mentality, Li Xin really felt that the simple spear phalanx was powerless against the light cavalry, especially the Chinese cavalry, which was basically light cavalry, and it was rare for the cavalry to be stupid enough to charge directly into the formation and crash into the spear array to death. This kind of confrontation-like engagement made Li Xin nervous to the point of incomprehensible intensity, and at this time, it was the discipline of ordinary training and the psychological element of the soldiers. At the same time, it is also about patience, and whoever loses patience first is equivalent to losing half of the victory.

The enemy seemed to notice that Lu Jiu was moving towards his rear, and finally lost his patience, and after making a last circle, he rushed straight towards the Zhenjun army. It seems that they plan to pass through the formation and then ask Lu Jiu's cavalry. Li Xin quickly guessed their intentions. It's just that they don't know that what they are about to attack is a phalanx of spears, as long as they dare to come and fight hard, he Li Xin dares to tell them to go and never return.

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps...... The two teams finally collided with each other, and the people turned on their backs, and the captives who had just experienced the battle formation actually withstood the impact of the cavalry, blocking the impact of a Lang like a seawall.

Li Xin finally sensed the problem, this group of people was not horse thieves, when they attacked the phalanx at close range, he finally saw clearly, these people were Mongols with braided hair on their heads, and their mouths were also shouting in foreign languages that they couldn't understand. In other words, what they encountered at this moment was not a horse thief at all, but an outright Mongol cavalry.

When the words "Mongolian cavalry" jumped out of Li Xin's mind, he was really shocked into a cold sweat. He took the liberty of bringing a group of fledgling recruits to suppress the bandits, but he met the Mongolian cavalry who were good at horse archery warfare.

Li Xin glared at Monk Jiexiu fiercely, the letter of this newspaper is really too bad.

When the Mongol cavalry found out that it was a phalanx of spears that confronted them, it was too late to withdraw their troops. Lu Jiu had been keeping an eye on them, and as soon as he saw them lose patience and start to charge into battle, he knew that the opportunity had come.

He no longer hesitated, and led the cavalry to rush forward.

The Mongol cavalry was stubbornly blocked by the five rows of 100 people, and the impact speed of the cavalry was instantly slowed to the extreme. Similarly, the situation of the captives was not much better. The shock of the cavalry charge completely scared these recruits stupid. Especially in the first row, after being impacted, it was extremely tragic, some were directly hit by the war horses, some were directly killed by the saber sweep, and even more, a soldier was stabbed into the abdomen by the broken barrel of the gun, and the belly was cut open, and the intestines flowed to the ground.

Witnessing such a tragic situation, deserters had begun to appear in the last platoon, and the problem of the lack of training time was soon exposed. When the Mongol cavalry charge began, the soldiers of the captivity army could no longer care about the neatness of the horizontal row and the tactical essentials of using spears, and they were purely encouraged and supported by their personal feelings.

In the end, it was the cavalry that Lu Jiu rushed to drive away the danger of falling into a stalemate and melee again. Hundreds of Mongol cavalry finally showed defeat under the attack of both infantry and cavalry. Li Xin seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and beckoned to them.

The Mongolian cavalry suddenly seemed to erupt, they dismounted one after another, their bodies were short, and the sharp sabers in their hands swept towards the first row of soldiers in the military formation, and in an instant, more than a dozen people were swept in the legs and fell to the ground.

This sudden change made the military formation chaotic, and Gu Shishi, as the officer of the first row of horizontal teams, saw that the shape shì actually had a tendency to reverse in the blink of an eye, and his eyes were also red. He pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist and shouted: "Everyone listen to the command, pick up the gun and stab!" ”

The sound spread quickly, and someone in the first and second rows reacted, lifted the spear that was originally planted diagonally on the ground to resist the cavalry, and stabbed the Mongolian cavalry in front. At the same time, Gu Shishi rushed into the gap between the two armies, and when he saw the Mongolian Tartar, he swung his Yanling knife and slashed and killed.

The slaughter of the Lujiu cavalry was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Mongol cavalry finally broke down and began to scatter and flee for their lives, but many eventually fell into the siege and died under the swords.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the fighting was basically calmed down. Li Xin called Jiexiu to his side and was about to scold him, but who knew that Jiexiu said: "Donor, please listen to the poor monk again, there is the Mongolian tribe ahead, and now that their main force is lost, we just take the opportunity to catch them all." ”

The Mongol tribes were all subdued by the Manchus as early as six years before Chongzhen, and became vassals of the Manchu Tartars, and attacking them was equivalent to fighting the Manchu Tartars, and they were rewarded for their meritorious service, which was no different from killing the Manchu Tartars.

Without waiting for Li Xin to speak, the soldiers who were close to each other shouted and killed, apparently eager to make meritorious contributions. The subordinates are eager to fight, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse. So he waved the Yanling knife in his hand.

"Follow me to kill the past, all women and children are only caught alive, and they are not allowed to kill in vain!"

The nearby soldiers immediately shouted in unison: "All women and children are only allowed to be killed if they are caught alive!" ”

The order spread throughout the camp in an instant. Lu Jiu rushed to the forefront as the vanguard, and after a short time of rapid marching, a stockade entrenched in the Frozen River Valley was revealed in front of everyone. Lu Jiu's cavalry rushed in almost effortlessly, it was obvious that all the strong men in the previous battle were among those defeated Mongol cavalry, so it was destined that the people left behind in this tribe would become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by them!

The infantry phalanx then arrived and began to expel all the Mongols from the tents. The scene was chaotic, and the ghosts cried wolf. As Li Xin expected, the rest were basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and many Han slaves were liberated. Suddenly, a soldier of the Suppression Army screamed.

"Oh my God, the red-haired ghost!"

Then there was a burst of chatter that I didn't understand. Li Xin walked over and saw that it was a red-haired and blue-eyed foreigner, with his hands and feet smashed against thumb-thick chains, and there was an obvious burn scar on his exposed neck, which should be the mark of a Mongolian slave.

This thing obviously also understands that Li Xin is the leader of this group, and bows and gestures in front of Li Xin, and his mouth crackles like a beaded bean. The soldiers of the Zhenjun army had never seen Westerners, and when they saw the excitement, they all gathered around and pointed at them, and some of them were even a little afraid of such a strange person.

Li Xin stopped him from continuing to ramble meaninglessly and asked:
