"Obey!" Han Chongyun happily agreed, and approached Ning Yanzhang with the enthusiasm of a young man on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Recently, he has been running around with his father all day long, and it is rare for him to meet a playmate of the same age. Therefore, after discovering that the little fat man was not very proficient in martial arts and his reaction was quite slow, he secretly pleaded with his father, hoping that the latter could give Ning Yanzhang special care when he was fighting. But when Han Pu heard this, he taught him a hard lesson, and refused to be accommodating at all.

Originally, he was desperate, and he was ready to secretly find a way to give the little fat man some protection within his ability. But he never expected that his father was still soft-hearted after all, and he actually changed his course at the last moment.

"Grandma's, there is a rabbit in the weasel den, what kind of evil did I Han create in my last life?!" Looking at his son's happy appearance, Wu Yingjun commanded Han Pu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Of course, he would not take special care of Ning Yanzhang because of the friendship that had just sprouted between the two teenagers. In fact, at this moment, in his eyes, all the more than 6,000 green forest heroes under his command are combined, and they are not as important as the young man. And even if he unfortunately loses the battle in front of him, even if he loses all his soldiers and horses, as long as he can return to Taiyuan with Xiaofei, he will definitely have no fault.

But in front of the two armies, it is definitely not a good place to teach their sons. Soon, Han Pu's attention was attracted by the team that came from afar on the opposite side.

I saw that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were all dressed in black, and under the low clouds, like a group of crows competing for carrion, they came overwhelmingly. In the ranks, the flags at all levels, including the van, the army, the command, the capital, and the gang, are pressed one by one, layer upon layer, and the hierarchy is clear. (Note 1)

"The one who came is not a good man!" Wu Ruofu, the commander of the Wagang battalion, turned around and reminded with a little apprehension. He is an old soldier, and he can see the weight of a certain army almost at a glance.

"It's Han Youding, our old acquaintance. Ten years ago, under Luoyang City, we fought with him!" Han Pu pursed his lips and revealed with a smile. "The scout told me a long time ago that it was him, how much incense Lao Tzu burned in front of the Buddha, and finally looked forward to the day when he fought him again!"

Ten years ago, he and Wu Ruofu were both the "Ten Generals" of the Praetorian Guard under the tent of Emperor Li Congke of the late Tang Dynasty, and Han Youding was the "capital head" under the command of the thief Zhao Yanshou. Now that the "old man" has met again, Han Youding is already the head of the army and horses, while he and Wu Ruofu are still hovering in the position of cavalry generals, and the other has simply become the head of the robbers who occupy the mountain as the king. (Note 1)

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they are divided into red-eyed. If it weren't for Zhao Yanshou leading the way for the Khitans and uniting Shi Jingjiao to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty, Wu Ruofu would not have let the officers of the Janissaries with a promising future be inappropriate and go to be the owner of Wagang Village. And Han Pu himself, if he hadn't been overworked in the "**" at the beginning, and surrendered to Liu Zhiyuan in a desperate situation, he would not have been reused for so many years, and finally got a job as a commander, and he still brought a group of bandits and grass bandits who had gathered temporarily!

New hatred and old hatred surged into his eyes, Wu Ruofu shook the reins of the war horse, and was ready to take the initiative to ask Ying to ride the horse into battle. Wu Yingjun commanded Han Pu to stop him by gesticulating first, and whispered again: "Don't worry, good steel has to be used on the blade." Don't move the cavalry, let the crossbowmen of the Chenzhou battalion try the opponent's catty first!"

With that, he grabbed a brown-and-yellow battalion flag and a pennant with a bow and arrow from his arms, held them high above his head, and waved them from side to side.

"General Han has an order! Chenzhou battalion sends all bows and crossbows to fight!"

"General Han has an order! Chenzhou battalion sends all bows and crossbows to fight!"

......

More than 20 cronies brought by Han Pu from Taiyuan opened their throats and repeated the commander's orders over and over again. At the same time, the herald instigated his mounts and sent the arrows to the Chenzhou camp on the left flank of the army along the specially set aside passage. The drummer raised his horn and waved the drumsticks, spreading the sound of agitation throughout the army.

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo ......"

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......"

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo ......"

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......"

The trumpets roared like the north wind, and the war drums thundered. Amid the roar of the wind and thunder, about six crossbowmen hurriedly moved from the left flank to the front of their own formation. Aim for enemies that are getting closer and closer, and shoot feathered arrows and hard crossbows with all your might.

"Whoosh ....."

"Huhu......"

The sky at the foot of the mountain suddenly darkened. The rapidly approaching enemy team paused visibly for a moment, then raised numerous shields covered in cowhides. The surface of the shield at the front was filled with dense arrows in the blink of an eye, like a wheat field that had just been cut in the middle of summer. Immediately after, a wail sounded on both sides of the shield, blood splattered, and more than a dozen lives fell into the dust.

The effect of the shooting was average, but the rhythm of the Crows' attacks was obviously disturbed. Soon, there was a muffled sound of horns, sounding from behind the shield. Immediately, the entire army formation quickly widened and thinned. More shields were raised overhead, quickly forming a black shield wall at the forefront. Behind the shield wall, thousands of angular bows were quickly rounded.

"Whoosh ....."

"Huhu......"

Another wave of bows and arrows and crossbows flew from the hillside to the base of the mountain. smashed the pitch-black shield wall to a shaky one. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Several bed crossbows placed halfway up the mountain also began to exert their residual power, shooting huge arrows more than two zhang long and the thickness of the bowl mouth at the enemy.

Most of the arrows were off course, flying in vain over the enemy's heads, causing a burst of exclamations. There were only two or three, and they hit the shield wall just right, and the blue-black shield and the soldiers behind the shield were strung together, and they continued to gallop backwards. One, two, three, until all the accumulated strength was canceled out by the flesh, then it fell to the ground with a bang, leaving a bloody gap in the places along the way.

More feathered arrows flew through the gap, knocking down more soldiers. However, it only took two or three breaths for the black-armored soldiers to regroup and seal the gaps in their own ranks. Without waiting for the bed crossbow halfway up the mountain to be wound again, the infantry general in charge of the front command of the formation decisively gave the order to counterattack, "Eighty steps ahead, prepare - shoot!"

"Huh ——!" as if the devil exhaled, and a violent wind swept across the entire hill. Black feathered arrows poured from the foot of the mountain to the beam, splitting the Chenzhou battalion, which was about to launch the third round of shooting.

"Ah——!" dozens of crossbowmen, lying in pools of blood, rolling and wailing. Scarlet plasma splattered through the thin leather armor like a spring.

The robes around them were overwhelmed by the sudden blow, and they didn't know whether to rescue their mates first or continue to shoot at the enemy. And the big and small leaders who were full of the heart of making meritorious contributions were pale, their eyes were straight, and their legs were shaking as if they were cramping.....

"Whew——!" Another devil's breath sounded from the foot of the mountain. More black feathered arrows flew into the air, then quickly swooped down. Nearly one-third of the soldiers of the Chenzhou battalion fell in a pool of blood. The rest didn't need to be reminded by anyone at all, screamed miserably, and fled back!

"Supervise the team, clean up the front, and take military discipline seriously!" Han Pu's face showed no frustration at all. Raised his eyes and looked directly in front of the team, shouting orders.

Two hundred sword and shield soldiers carefully selected by him quickly lined up and moved forward, and when they encountered a rout in a panic, they were stabbed in their heads.

"Ah——!", "Ah——!hh——!h Dozens of soldiers who were lucky not to die under the enemy's feather arrows turned into ghosts under the sword of the Overseer team in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the shout of emphasizing military discipline sounded behind the Inspector team. Cold and hard, without the slightest human emotion, "Get out of the way and retreat to the camp." Those who dare to shout and collide will be killed!"

"Brothers, come this way, come this way! Don't, don't kill, don't kill! Please, don't, don't kill, don't storm the formation!" He Sanwei, the commander of the Chenzhou battalion, rode to the side of the overseer, crying and shouting.

He didn't dare to complain that Han Pu had a black heart, the country had national laws, and the family had family rules, even if it was a cottage, those who escaped from the battle would not end well. But in this wave, the dead were all the brothers he had worked hard to pull up for many years, and two of them were his eight friends. The brothers thought that they could seek wealth together, but they expected that in the blink of an eye, they would be separated by yin and yang.

"Weicheng Battalion, Bailu Battalion, Lingqiu Battalion, all press forward, shoot with bows and arrows! Yanjin Battalion, Jizhou Battalion, raise their shields and step forward to protect their own formation!"

The head of the battalion, whose name was called, quickly stepped forward, or raised a wooden shield more than half a man high to shield the black feathered arrows flying from the bottom of the mountain. Or draw your horned bow, bamboo bow, and a variety of solo crossbows to unleash arrows of vengeance at your enemies.

"Whoosh ....."

"Hoo ——!"

"Whoosh ....."

"Hoo ——!"

The two sides come and go, and they don't give in to each other. The sky above me flickered and darkened.

In the dappled light and shadow, rows of minions poured down like wheat straw in a torrential rain, and the blood quickly gathered into a stream and flowed down the hillside.

In the dappled light and shadow, clusters of black-clothed soldiers fell low like reeds swept by the wind. The scarlet mist swirled upwards, carried by the water vapor of the mountains, staining the morning sky red.

No one has time to count how many people on both sides died at this moment? No one can predict when this kind of face-to-face shooting will end. The archers up and down the mountain gritted their teeth and kept sending their feathered arrows into the air. Kill each other non-stop, or be killed by each other!

Their arms were already shaking, their eyes were astringent and painful, but none of them wanted to give up. They are all gambling, gritting their teeth and betting, betting that the other party will collapse one step earlier than themselves, and one step ahead of themselves.

Maybe just a quarter of an hour.

For both sides of the enemy, it is as long as 10,000 years.

Finally, the dark clouds in the sky could no longer stand the smell of blood rising from the ground. Suddenly, the "hulala" scattered in all directions. Ten thousand rays of light suddenly shot down from the top of their heads, burning the eyes of everyone present.

The black rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and the low horn sounded again, "Woo woo - woo woo woo ———— woo woo ——!"

The black team slowly retreated, leaving hundreds of dead bodies behind.

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo woo ——!" Directly opposite, there are also whimpering corners and harmonizing. The Weicheng camp, the Bailu camp, the Lingqiu camp, the Yanjin camp, and the Jizhou camp, the heroes who had just changed from the heroes of the green forest to the Han army, also slowly retreated, leaving a dazzling red.

The first round of temptations is over.

Today's killing, however, has just begun.

Note 1: During the Five Dynasties, because the dynasties changed too quickly, the Han and Hu were mixed. So the military system is also extremely chaotic. Roughly above, there is a horse army or infantry army under the festival degree, and there are left and right compartments under the horse army and the infantry army. Under the compartment, there is a "first army", or "first army". Under the command, there is a command, and under the command, there is a "capital", and under the "capital" is "gang" or "shi". However, each dynasty and each festival are not unified and change drastically.

Note 2: Cavalry generals, the main generals of the cavalry "command", usually each cavalry general controls 400 cavalry. Each stepper, control 500 steps. Ten generals, then ten chiefs, the lowest rank officer.
