Looking at the back of the knight leaving, Liu Beishan's eyes suddenly shot out a trace of anger, if it weren't for what this person said that day, I am afraid he would not have made up his mind so quickly.

Liu Beishan sighed, walked out of the tent, and beckoned the brothers to prepare for departure.

Seeing the brothers under his command listless one by one, Liu Beishan was even more secretly anxious in his heart, if it goes on like this, there will be no morale, how will the battle be fought at that time? If the battle is not good, why should he get the attention of the King of the North Sea? The more Liu Beishan thought about it, the more he regretted it and became more angry.

In the next few days, Huo Shizhen didn't have to look for trouble anymore, which made Liu Beishan and the knight breathe a sigh of relief.

Four days later, the army marched in front of Wanghai City.

Like the previous times, Andre did not choose to defend the city, but chose to go out of the city to face the battle.

Huo Shizhen and the other generals saw from a distance that in front of an earthen fort, the enemy had placed two phalanxes, one large and one small, and a cavalry of less than 300 people was quietly lined up in the left rear of the two phalanxes.

The two large and small phalanxes, the large ones with more than 600 people, the small ones with more than 400 people, plus the cavalry were only more than 1,400 people, but they gave people a feeling as heavy as thousands of troops.

Looking at the other party's military appearance, Huo Shizhen, who had never taken this expedition seriously, finally became serious.

Huo Shizhen is just too arrogant, but he is not a rice bucket, he understands at a glance that he has encountered a strong army that has always been terrifying.

went to arrogance, Huo Shizhen's strength was immediately manifested, he did not rush to engage in battle, but ordered the knight and Liu Beishan to lead the cavalry, and then commanded the infantry to retreat slowly, until they withdrew more than ten miles away. Only then did they choose a hillside to set up camp.

After setting up the camp, Huo Shizhen immediately ordered someone to summon Liu Beishan and the knights.

After meeting Liu Beishan. Huo Shizhen first threatened, "Since the big boss Liu wants to do everything possible to recruit the king of my family." I'm afraid I also know that sooner or later, this Beihai Prefecture will be in the pocket of my king...... For this thief in Wanghai Town, the king of my family is really angry, if it is because of someone who causes this conquest to fail......"

After a threat, Huo Shizhen sent another sweet date, "If the big boss Liu is valued by the king of my family, it is best to take some decent credit in this war, although my Huo Shizhen has a bad temper." But by no means a person who covets the merits of others......"

In the face of Huo Shizhen's beating, Liu Beishan could only nod.

After beating Liu Beishan, Huo Shizhen ordered someone to send all the horses of Bei Maliu back.

The horses were recovered, but Liu Beishan couldn't be happier......

After repelling Liu Beishan, Huo Shizhen ordered the knights to camp on the other side of Liu Beishan's camp at night, sandwiching him in the middle.

When Andrei saw the enemy retreating, he did not chase after him, but only monitored the other side until the other side set up camp. Only then did he command the Maharaja to retreat to the earthen fort.

Early the next morning, after the soldiers had a full meal, Huo Shizhen urged the army and pressed towards the earthen fort in front.

In fact, thousands of troops. It would be easy to get around the earthen fort, but Huo Shizhen didn't intend to do so.

Last night, the spies reported that Wanghai Town had a double-layered city wall. The inner wall is as high as five zhang, which is even higher than the city wall called Beihai. To attack such a fortified city, even if there are not enough defenders in the city. It is not possible to capture it in a short period of time, not to mention, due to the light enemy, Huo Shizhen did not bring any siege equipment with him this time, if he wants to attack the city, he also needs to use local materials to manufacture siege equipment, and the cost will be big.

At this time, the enemy army was willing to come out to fight him in the field, which was something he could not ask for.

Of course, Andre is not afraid that the other party will bypass the earth fort to attack the city, like the last time he defended the combined army of Guima and Dongma, Andre transferred sailors and some sailors, plus the militia that was armed, there are still thousands of defenders in Wanghai Town, and the enemy army only has more than 2,000 infantry.

If the other party is really stupid to bypass the earthen fort to attack Wanghai Town, then he doesn't mind watching the excitement for a few days first, and then send troops to give him a hard time when the enemy army is tired.

As Huo Shizhen's army moved, the gate of the earth fort was also opened, and the troops in the fort slowly opened out.

By the time Huo Shizhen's army approached, the two Monroe phalanxes were already quietly waiting for them.

Huo Shizhen observed the enemy army for a moment, and issued an order, asking Liu Beishan to attack the smaller phalanx with all his might, while he was responsible for the larger phalanx, and the knights stayed behind to sweep the formation to deal with the charge of the opposing cavalry.

Liu Beishan looked at the first guard of the front army and the Qinglong Iron Cavalry on both sides of him, and took the order with a gloomy face.

Under Huo Shizhen's order, the first guard left two battalions in the rear to press the formation, and Huo Shizhen personally led the soldiers of the third battalion to discharge the fish scale formation and slowly forced towards the larger phalanx.

The so-called fish scale formation is to form a small phalanx of soldiers as a unit, and the small phalanx is like a fish scale to open the distance, staggered distribution, forming a large formation, which is a kind of infantry formation used more in the infantry camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Like the standard infantry phalanx on the continent of Salen, each small phalanx in the Fish Scale Formation is composed of different troops, with sword and shield men in the front row and flanks, pikemen on the inside of the sword and shield hands, and crossbowmen in the center of the formation.

In fact, the most commonly used formations of Eastern and Western infantry are similar in principle, but the standard infantry phalanx is more complete and refined, and the requirements for the quality of soldiers are higher, while the fish scale formation can adapt to large-scale troop arrangement.

A hundred people can put out a fish scale array, but only one scale, a thousand people can also put a fish scale array, and ten thousand people can also put a fish scale array.

The infantry phalanx of the Salen continent does not have this kind of change and extension, even if there are multiple infantry phalanxes on the battlefield, they are also separate phalanxes, and there is no cooperation relationship between them, but the fish scale array in the east is different, each small phalanx is just an individual in the fish scale array, and the commander can command the small phalanx to cooperate with each other through the command flag at any time.

Liu Beishan did not follow Huo Shizhen's request to attack the smaller phalanx, he left the elite behind, and ordered the other half of the horse thieves to attack the smaller phalanx.

Seeing that Liu Beishan actually disobeyed his order, Huo Shizhen was immediately furious, but at this official critical moment, he couldn't turn his face, he could only stare at Liu Beishan fiercely.

Seeing that Liu Beishan actually preserved his strength at this critical moment, the knight was also angry and anxious.

Since Bei Ma Liu was a cavalryman, he approached the small phalanx first, and then there was a strange scene on the battlefield.

Although the northern horse thieves are more elite than other horse thieves, but after all, they are horse thieves, and the Monroe phalanx in front of the gun forest, which can not be timid, rush to the nearest place, the horse thieves almost subconsciously turned a corner, rushed from the side of the phalanx, and then circled around the phalanx, and the short bow in his hand couldn't stop shooting at the phalanx, but the Monroe phalanx itself is known for its defense, at this time it is fully defended, the shield almost covers the phalanx tightly, and the arrows shot by the short bow do not pose any threat at all.

So I saw only a group of horse thieves, galloping around the phalanx, shooting the square like a horse archery kung fu, but not hurting the other party in the slightest. (To be continued......)
