"Brothers, instead of continuing to suffer in Pinglu Town, it's better to give it a go, maybe you can live a comfortable life, let's do the opposite!"

"It's the other way around! Kill these bastards, let's go to Dengzhou Town to be soldiers! ”

With a shout, more than 3,000 soldiers on the right flank of Pinglu Town immediately mutinied and began to attack the rest of the soldiers on the right flank.

Shen Tan was busy suppressing the commotion everywhere, when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting on the right flank, and suddenly looked back, only to see that the right flank of the army at this time had been in chaos, and the eight thousand army was divided into two parts, attacking each other.

"Something bad!"

Shen Tan cursed, and immediately mobilized two thousand soldiers and horses from the central phalanx to the right wing, and exterminated the rebellious soldiers on the right wing at all costs.

"Kill, kill me!"

Shen Tan roared angrily: "Within the two incense sticks, the rebels must be wiped out without delay!" ”

At this time, Shen Tan thought that the Dengzhou army would definitely take the opportunity to attack, but what Shen Tan didn't expect was that more than 10,000 Dengzhou troops still stood still, which made Shen Tan breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, there was also turmoil ~ chaos in the left flank and the central phalanx of Pinglu Town, and there were three or two thousand soldiers in each of the two divisions rebelling.

Seeing this, Shen Tan knew that there was no hope of winning the battle today, and the best result was to withdraw to the camp smoothly.

"Order all units to immediately encircle and suppress the rebels!"

Seeing that the three phalanxes had become a mess, Shen Tan had the idea of retreating, and had no intention of sending cavalry and six thousand heavily armored soldiers to support everywhere, at this time, Shen Tan was thinking about stopping losses in time, rather than saving the situation.

"Let's take a look!"

Just when Shen Tan was about to order the whole army to retreat, the right-wing phalanx that was the first to stir up gradually calmed down, Shen Tan looked at the right wing with a happy face, knowing that it was the right-wing rebels who were about to be wiped out, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he hesitated again.

At the same time, Bai Jixun looked at the army of Pinglu Town, which was in chaos, and said excitedly: "Lord, look! Fighters, fighters are now, please order the whole army to attack! ”

The left battalion and the right battalion also sent people to ask for battle almost at the same time, but Li Congyan was not in a hurry, and said to the scouts who came to ask for battle, as well as Bai Jixun: "There is no need to attack first, order the whole army to advance fifty steps, and then wave the flag and beat the drum to help." Wait for half an hour and then advance fifty steps, and so on! ”

After sending away the scouts from the left and right camps, Bai Jixun was puzzled and said, "What does the Lord mean by this? If we don't attack now, when Shen Tan stabilizes his position, it will be difficult for us to do it. ”

Li Congyan said with a smile: "Look at Pinglu Town, what position does Shen Tan have now?" ”

"If we attack now, it will be difficult to distinguish those soldiers who have taken refuge in us, and those soldiers who are loyal to Shen Tan, and there will definitely be some accidental injuries under the onslaught, so those soldiers who want to take refuge in us will definitely fight to the death with us, and the spread of this matter will also affect our reputation in Dengzhou."

"But ......"

Li Congyan said: "There is nothing. Let's just approach step by step~ The army of Pinglu Town, even if you don't fight, you can scare them to death! ”

"Knock~Knock~Knock!"

Soon the First Field Army began to move forward, the war drums beat loudly, and the battle in the army formation of Pinglu Town became more intense, so that Shen Tan had to abandon the right flank of the army, and transferred the remaining more than 4,000 soldiers on the right flank to the central phalanx to suppress the chaotic soldiers.

At this time, Tang Yi was standing at the forefront of the left camp phalanx in armor, and Tang Yi, who was the leader of the team, looked ahead, even though he was very scared in his heart, he still tried his best to stay calm, and constantly encouraged his colleagues around him during the period.

"Team, why did we stop? You've heard the drums of war beat a few times, why don't you attack? ”

Tang Yi was also very surprised in his heart, but Shangguan's order was like this, and he could only follow it, and said at this time: "Shangguan can do whatever he wants, don't ask so much." ”

"Whoa!"

The fire commander who asked the question just now was Tang Yi's subordinate, and at this time, he looked back at Li Siye, the captain of the first regiment of the left battalion, who was riding horses and supervising the formation, and said enviously: "Team Zheng, when do you say we will be as vigorous as Captain Li?" ”

Tang Yi scolded in a low voice: "Don't look back! Don't forget that the military law firm wrote that those who watched before and after the battle without permission should immediately cut off their ears, and if they can't be beheaded by the first level after the war, they will be beheaded to show the public! ”

Only then did the fire commander remember that there was indeed such a clause in the military law, and he was immediately startled, and the whole person immediately stood up straight and looked ahead, and said in a low voice: "Don't dare, don't dare anymore." ”

However, Tang Yi was said by the fire chief, and he was also thinking in his heart: "If I can win something in this battle, will I be promoted to brigade commander?" ”

Thinking of this, the fear in Tang Yi's heart dissipated, and was replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit.

When the First Field Army advanced for the second time, the turmoil ~ chaos of the army in Pinglu Town finally ended, more than 7,000 rebels were killed, and the army under Shen Tan also lost more than 4,000 people.

Before the battle with the Dengzhou army began, the 35,000 army pulled up by Shen Tan was lost by one-third, and the morale of the army was low, and it was possible to collapse at any time.

"Regroup! Regroup! ”

Shen Tan didn't expect Li Congyan to stand still, although he wiped out the rebellious soldiers at this time, he was very uneasy in his heart, and immediately ordered the whole army to form a team, and after preparing to stabilize the position of the army, he immediately withdrew to the camp to defend it.

But at this time, Li Congyan ordered the whole army to attack, and the ballistae and catapults of the chariot regiment took the lead, and huge crossbow arrows and heavy stones smashed into the army of ~ Pinglu Town, and suddenly splashed a burst of blood mist.

Especially those arm-sized crossbow arrows, after being shot into the formation, the residual momentum is unabated, and they can penetrate several people one after another, the scene is really bloody!

At the same time, the soldiers of the left and right battalions fired thousands of arrows in unison, tens of thousands of soldiers continued to fire volleys, and the dense rain of arrows directly collapsed the central phalanx of Pinglu Town, and thousands of soldiers of Pinglu Town turned around and ran away in horror, no matter how Shen Tan pressed it, it was useless.

At this time, Tang Yi was jogging forward with the army formation, as the sound of war drums changed from slow to rapid, the army began to accelerate the charge, Tang Yi also raised his own team flag, and led his team of more than 50 soldiers to launch a fierce charge.

"Kill! Kill Pull! ”

Tang Yi's face flushed, and he saw a brigade of crossbowmen in front of him firing a volley, and immediately shot a huge gap in the phalanx of Pinglu Town.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi's spear brigade began to engage, under the cover of the sword and shield hand in front, Tang Yi and his comrades next to him flattened the spear in their hands, and the forest-like spear poked directly into the enemy formation, and only one charge defeated the enemy phalanx in front of them!

"Kill it!"

Li Siye, the captain of the first regiment of the left battalion, took the lead, and under the protection of more than a dozen guards, he fought with the sword and shield brigade, and all the enemies he encountered were killed, like killing gods, no one could stop him!

At this time, although the First Field Army was at a disadvantage in strength, it was attacking like a rainbow.

On the left flank, Chong Huajia and Wang Yong all rushed to the front line, if it weren't for Wang Zuhe to restrain the generals at all levels not to leave the command position, the two would even have to act as the first to ascend.

On the right flank, Li Ren looked at the one-sided battle situation in front of him, and his heart was happy, and he successively ordered Xu Hui and Zhu Ming to cooperate and advance, not giving Pinglu Town's soldiers and horses any chance to counterattack.

In the phalanx of the military headquarters, the command platform where Li Congyan was also advancing with the army, and at this time, he suddenly saw Shen Tan's handsome banner began to retreat, so he said: "Order the left battalion and the right battalion to speed up, Shen Tan wants to run!" ”

Bai Jixun's eyes showed a thick murderous aura, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the case today, this thief will die!" ”

Soon, the rout of Pinglu Town began to stride backwards, but the soldiers of the left battalion soon ran into an enemy army, which was 6,000 heavily armored soldiers under Shen Tan's command.

Tang Yi's squad was suddenly blocked, and those heavily armored enemy troops were all wearing iron armor and holding spears, and they did not fall behind in the attack against the soldiers of the left battalion.

Tang Yi saw that two of his comrades in his team were stabbed to death by the enemy, and the enemy's spear stabbed the comrade's neck, and blood suddenly splattered out, pouring Tang Yi's head all over his face.

"Ahh

At this time, Tang Yi was not afraid at all, and there was only one thought in his mind: "Revenge!" ”

Tang Yi roared angrily and raised the spear in his hand, one shot after another, stabbing the enemy in front of him one after another, but the enemy soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, unless they also stabbed the neck, head and other parts, or hit the same part several times and pierced the heavy armor, it was difficult to kill and injure the enemy soldiers.

"Bastard!"

Tang Yi finally killed a person, and then he was stabbed by a gun, and the severe pain came, Tang Yi couldn't help but scold angrily, and quickly looked down, fortunately, the Mingguang armor on his body blocked this shot, but the Mingguang armor was hit and left a dent.

The rest of his life after the catastrophe did not make Tang Yi afraid, but there was an indescribable sense of excitement, and he continued to form a battle with his comrades against the enemy, without taking half a step back!

On the command platform, Li Congyan also saw thousands of heavily armored soldiers in Pinglu Town, and said to the herald scout beside him: "Order the chariot regiment to attack the flank and rear of that enemy army!" ”

"Whoa!"

Jia Hong, the captain of the chariot regiment, stood at the forefront of the phalanx of the military headquarters at this time, looking at the battlefield on the left flank hundreds of steps away, the command flag in his hand was raised high, and then waved down suddenly: "Release!" ”

Twenty ballistae and thirty trebuchets began to roar, and six thousand heavily armored soldiers were immediately struck, and hundreds of soldiers in the flanks and rear were killed instantly. Sturdy heavy armor is nothing to be said for ballistae and trebuchets, like window paper, which does not provide any protection.

The pressure on the soldiers of the left battalion was suddenly relaxed, and they immediately began to continue advancing.

Like those heavily armored soldiers in Pinglu Town, the soldiers of the left battalion also wore heavy armor, and it was also a brighter armor with better protection, at this time the battle situation once again became a one-sided situation, and the heavy armored soldiers in Pinglu Town began to retreat after experiencing the initial smoothness, and finally began to flee like their own companions.

Li Congyan was overjoyed when he saw this, and urgently ordered all his troops to start a pursuit, and at the same time ordered the chariot regiment, the baggage regiment, and the miscellaneous regiment to each divide half of their troops to attack, and the whole army began to hunt ducks.

Bai Jixun was even more excited, constantly looking for Shen Tan's traces on the battlefield, but the chaotic battlefield was full of flags and fighting soldiers, and it was not easy to find someone.

What Bai Jixun didn't know was that Shen Tan had already returned to the camp at this time, and there were only 5,000 cavalry left by his side.

Shen Tan looked at his own soldiers fleeing in embarrassment, and looked at the approaching Dengzhou army, crying out in vain.

"Withdraw! Withdraw to Mizhou City! ”

"Shen Shuai can't retreat, if we retreat, it will be difficult to hold the defeat, and when the Dengzhou army surrounds the city, we will be in danger!"

"Get out!"

Shen Tan roared angrily: "Don't withdraw? With 5,000 cavalry, how can you hold the camp? Withdraw, withdraw immediately! ”

After speaking, Shen Tan led 5,000 cavalry to flee directly back to Mizhou City, and then gathered more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, strictly defended it, and began to prepare for the battle of defending the city.

More than an hour later, the battle outside Mizhou finally ended.

In this battle, Li Congyan commanded the army to capture the camp in Pinglu Town, and all the money, grain, and baggage of Shen Tan's department became Li Congyan's trophies.

At the same time, Li Congyan also captured more than 13,000 people, including more than 3,000 heavy armored soldiers from Pinglu Town. The 1st Field Army lost more than 1,400 casualties, most of which were inflicted by heavily armored soldiers in the town of Pinglu.

That night, Li Congyan led his troops into the camp in Pinglu Town.
