By the time the Taishan military formation appeared on the ridge line to the north, Chen Deng had already changed to a military vehicle.

He looked into the distance, and the Taishan army and the situation of the hills here were vividly painted and came into view.

Now he and the Taishan army encountered this battlefield is a typical Mount Tai deep into the Jinan Plain hilly area, from here to the north to the big river, forty miles heavy open, the left is the ridge, the front is Pinggang, one after another.

This kind of terrain does not seem to be precipitous, but it is the terrain that generals are most reluctant to fight. Because this terrain is surrounded by mountains and ravines, no one knows which pass is ambushed by an army.

Judging from the banner, the Taishan Army should have dispatched two captains, with an approximate strength of about 4,000.

Although the number of enemy troops was not as good as his own, Chen Deng did not have a trace of carelessness, because he knew what kind of elite army this was when he saw the marching troops and armored soldiers that covered the sky and the sun.

And no matter how much Chen Deng trusts his subordinates, he will not dare to think that he has much advantage.

However, this battle can be fought.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng suddenly admired Jiang Qin a little in his heart.

Because judging from the current situation, the other side obviously planned to ambush him in this hilly area, and somehow he was spotted by Jiang Qin.

Not only did he see through it, but he was also able to bring back most of the tribal officials.

From this point of view, this year-old bandit on the river still has a hand.

And just when Chen Deng was thinking, Jiang Qin came over in embarrassment, and his people not only took off their armor, but also tied thorns behind their backs, obviously to bear the guilt of thorns.

In fact, when Jiang Qin led his men to bypass the military formation and retreat to the rear of the formation, he immediately came to the Chinese army to ask Chen Deng for his guilt. After all, although it is understandable that he retreated at this time, he is the general of the defeated army in the end.

And Jiang Qin had just come over with thorns on his back, so he kneeled under Chen Deng's military cart and asked him to plead guilty:

"Sin will be Jiang Qin......"

This time, before Jiang Qin finished speaking, Chen Deng stopped him and ordered him directly:

"You have no merit in this battle, now the military situation is in danger, don't play any false courtesy, you quickly return to the rear to reorganize the army, change the armor and equipment from the baggage and then go to my flag as a preparation."

After speaking, Chen Deng also looked at Jiang Qin and asked:

"I saw that your camp flag was lost, why don't I give you another one?"

Jiang Qin's face was flushed when he said this, he knelt on the ground, hurriedly took out a stack of folded flags from his pocket, and then spread them on the ground, and said solemnly to Chen Deng:

"Lord, no matter how good I am, Jiang Qin, I know the weight of the camp flag? This is the banner of my battalion, and I have always carried it with me, and I dare not abandon it. ”

Chen Deng didn't expect Jiang Qin to have such thoughts, and couldn't help laughing:

"Well, I was not mistaken. Then hang this banner and set it up on my side. ”

Jiang Qinyinuo, then respectfully picked up the flag, unfurled it, and then wrapped it behind him and returned to the rear to reorganize the army.

Chen Deng watched Jiang Qin finish doing this, and he valued him more and more in his heart.

Seeing that Jiang Qin was about to leave, Chen Deng suddenly stopped him and threw him a treasure knife:

"Gongyi, this knife will be given to you, I hope you will hold this knife in this battle and kill more thieves."

At this moment, Jiang Qin was holding the treasure knife given by Chen Deng, his heart was warm, he nodded heavily at Chen Deng, and then rushed back.

And Chen Deng also began to pay all his attention to the Taishan army in front of him.

By now, Chen Deng could already see the color and font size of the enemy's flag, and began to match the corresponding generals.

The highest flags were the two big flags of "Chen" and "Guo", which were obviously the two main generals of the enemy army. Chen Deng knew the Taishan Army very well, especially the generals of Guan Yu's department.

Guan Yu has five captains under his command, namely Zhang Nan, Guo Mo, Chen Guang, Gao Ya, and Li Jing.

So the result is obvious, the people who appeared in front of him should be Chen Guang and Guo Mo.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng's first thought was:

"Where did Guan Yu go?"

It's not that Chen Dengtuo is big, and he has to compete with Guan Yu, but he is very confident in this battle.

Previously, he sent troops to pass with nearby Bian Bingjiao, and the two armies attacked together.

Bian Bing's army probably has 10,000 people, although not to mention how elite it is, but it also has the ability to fight in the field. Once his side fights with the Taishan army, the footsteps of Bian Bing's army will soon be able to come and join him.

When the time comes, they will attack inside and outside, how can the Taishan army, which has an absolute disadvantage in numbers, not die?

And now that Guan Yu has not appeared, although Chen Deng has a little regret in his heart, he is not worried much. Even if Guan Yu came over with another force to intercept, Chen Deng was still prepared.

That's what Bian Bing said before, Cao Cao has been cruising around with the main force of elite soldiers, and he can give them support at any time.

In this way, Chen Deng felt that he was foolproof.

This is Chen Deng's courage to send troops, and he is not really stunned.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng had a joke in his heart, he threw the general to Wang Xiu on the right side of the car, and then jumped off the military vehicle and turned over on the horse.

Under the Great Command, a cavalry army of about 200 men was standing with the reins attached.

This is the cavalry army built by the Chen family for many years, and it is already very famous in the land of Jianghuai, and it is called "Jianghuai Cavalry." ”

Most of this JAC cavalry are from Chen's subordinates, some of the older ones are still from Chen Deng's father's subordinates, and the rest are also heroes in the Linpu area, it can be said that this JAC cavalry is Chen Deng's core force.

After seeing Chen Deng get on his horse, without Chen Deng's orders, these Jianghuai horsemen got on their horses one after another, and then followed Chen Deng all the way to the front of the battle.

Things happened so fast that Wang Xiu was stunned with the military rations in his hand, and he shouted:

"Lord, when you are about to fight, you must not be brave!"

But Chen Deng had already galloped to the front of the battle, how could he still hear this?

As soon as Chen Deng left, Jiang Qin in the rear personally carried a big flag and drove to the open space by the edge of Daxu with his subordinates.

Just when Jiang Qin was about to salute the military personnel on the military chariot, he suddenly found that it was Wang Xiu standing on the military chariot, and he was stupid with his mouth open.

And Wang Xiu was also full of helplessness, looking at the cavalry team that was racing in front of the formation, he could only sigh in vain.

……

Chen Deng's feeling is fantastic, this is what young people should do.

What could be more wanton than to show off your might in front of the battle?

And the black horse under Chen Deng's crotch also felt the pride of the owner, and snorted excitedly.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the afterglow is scattered on this battlefield, with soldiers and iron halberds, a scene of slaughter. And at this time, after the black horse understood the master's intentions, he suddenly stood up.

In this way, in front of the whole army, their main general completed a smooth equestrian trick and showed extraordinary martial bravery.

The soldiers in front of them shouted enthusiastically, and they were proud to follow a fearless and brave man.

Yes, don't look at Wang Xiu's opinion, this is a brave move, but for the soldiers on the front line, what can double their morale more than the main general coming to the front line?

When Chen Deng Yaowu, the cavalry general next to him was Zhang Ding, a heroic man who crossed the Jianghuai River, and it is said that he had mixed with Cao Ren in his early years, but after Cao Ren returned to his hometown, he stayed behind to miss his hometown.

After that, Zhang Ding returned to his hometown to prepare to support his mother, but learned that his mother had already died of illness, and it was the noble gentleman of the Chen family in Linpu who took care of the funeral for him.

It turned out that Chen Deng knew that there was such a heroic man in his hometown, and his filial piety was unparalleled, so he personally raised his mother and took care of the funeral for him.

After learning all this, Zhang Ding threw himself into Chen Deng's scene and died down.

And this is Chen Deng's lake and sea atmosphere.

Why did he have such a great reputation in the land of Jianghuai? It's because he's done so many of these things. People are invited, entrusted, and dependent, and Chen Deng can take care of them.

Coupled with his identity as a son of the Gong clan and the huge farmhouse, he doubled his fame.

And a beneficiary like Zhang Ding, how can the amount of the car be calculated?

Zhang Ding was guarding Chen Deng, and suddenly saw that the Taishan army on the opposite side had approached a very dangerous distance, and hurriedly reminded:

"Lord, the thief is approaching, let's avoid it for a while."

But it's good that Zhang Ding didn't say this, but when he said it, he reminded Chen Deng on the rise.

I saw Chen Deng wave his whip and ride heroically to the Jianghuai around him:

"Gentlemen, would you like to try the edge of their generation with me?"

Zhang Ding was speechless, and there was no persuasion around him, all of them hugged their fists:

"May I follow the Lord's sword mountain and sea of fire."

So, Chen Deng laughed loudly, tapped the horse's fart, and then rode with two hundred Jianghuai, and galloped forward like a dragon.

The horses' hooves crushed the verdant green of July, and the crimson crowd swooped forward like a wave, and like a whirlwind, eager to tear everything apart.

……

Shi General Xu Shu held a crossbow in one hand and shouted:

"Left, right, left."

And in the space where the command headquarters was stepping forward, Xu Shu still had time to observe the battlefield ahead.

Before Xu Shu, there were four more tithes, and they were also the same as Xu Shu, one by one.

Among them, Zuo Wu is in the outermost position, holding high a banner of generals, and he is also the orientation point of the whole platoon of officials. The brethren watched his pace to adjust the distance.

And generals like Xu Shu are not listed in the military formation, but walk directly outside the team, they have the highest degree of freedom, and can observe more battlefield situations.

They are also the eyes of the brethren, who rely on them to observe the banners of their superiors in the rear and to judge the enemy's position on the opposite battlefield.

And now Xu Shu is performing this duty, shouting the trumpet on the one hand, and observing the battlefield signals on the other.

Suddenly, Xu Shu saw that the squadron behind him suddenly waved a ring-shaped red flag, and he immediately became excited and began to shout:

"The whole column is suspended, and the rifle is pestle."

In the Taishan Army, the command in the army can only be delegated to the ministry level at the minimum, which means that only the flag commander of the ministry can give the flag order on the battlefield.

Going any further down, the scheduling of the battlefield will be very chaotic.

And at the ministry level, it is also the closest flag that the grassroots officials on the battlefield can see, and it is impossible to see it from any distance.

And now Xu Shu's unit didn't know what battlefield signal it had observed, and began to wave a ring-shaped red flag.

Red means to stop, and the ring means to defend.

Therefore, Xu Shu decisively ordered everything to stop, and asked them to lower the lance from their shoulders on the ground.

Today's Taishan Army is making more detailed reforms to the army's tactics because of the great support of Hebei's great manpower and material resources.

One of the important changes is to change the opposition between the pure team and the flower team in the past, and start to merge the two.

And Xu Shu is the embodiment of this change.

They had a total of 11 soldiers and 3 auxiliaries, making a total of 14 men. In terms of specific configuration, Xu Shu is a general, with a pair of iron armor, a crossbow, a ring knife, and an auxiliary soldier.

The two commanders are one in armor and one in armor, and the other is in armor, and both are equipped with an armored auxiliary.

And then there were ordinary officials, eight in all. They were all carrying long lances, armor and swords, and three halberds in their knapsacks, which were not for themselves, but for the brethren in the back row.

This is the grassroots armed forces of the Fifth Army, in which the longbowmen are still subordinate to the headquarters of the ministry and are responsible for all firepower strikes.

And now, when Xu Shu and his officials heard the generals shouting outside, they couldn't actually hear it clearly, but they could see that the leader of the platoon carrying the flag gun had stopped at the flag, so they stopped one after another and put the foot lance on their shoulders on the ground.

For a time, all the units in the front line of the Taishan Army were like this, and the originally inclined rifles were erected one after another, like a forest appearing on this battlefield.

After Xu Shu did this, he looked at the lack of members in his team with regret.

He had a heavily armored swordman, but he had fallen ill in the hilly area behind him, leaving him without some protection.

Originally, the heavy sword hand cooperated with him, and he could directly form an offensive and defensive combat power, but now it can only be done.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the military array in front, and Xu Shu immediately looked up.

I saw that the original complete infantry array suddenly collapsed for a while, and the knights of the Han army, who couldn't see the number of knights, suddenly emerged from here.

They let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, and constantly beat the Taishan military robes on the side with the weapons in their hands.

Some of the generals outside decisively let out their crossbows, and each stroke could take away a Han knight.

Those knights never expected that the grassroots level of the Taishan army would be equipped with crossbows, and they immediately suffered a big loss.

But the equipment of these knights is very good, except for the war horses, the whole body has iron armor, which is not worse than the assault cavalry of the Taishan army.

However, the Taishan army obviously suffered a loss, these Han cavalry charged too abruptly, and the front-line military officials did not give the order to release the lance at all, and the opposite side had already broken out in front of them.

But that's the case with these Han riders.

As the military officials gave orders one after another, the rifles that had been standing like a forest were put down one after another, and the sharp and cold lances opened like hedgehogs.

The Han horseman, who had already broken through several rows, was poked into a blood gourd by the lance that stabbed from all directions after the horse's speed failed.

The Jianghuai Jinqi behind saw the tragic situation of the sudden formation in front of them, and they pulled the reins and began to detour from the two formations.

Xu Shu, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, suddenly felt a loud bang above his head, and then he was taken to the ground by inertia.

When he was lifted up by the robes again, he saw that his pocket was dented, and a pebble was at his feet.

Xu Shu, who was embarrassed and angry, secretly scolded these Jianghuai people for being more barbarians, and what else did they use. Then he saw a rider with a coat of clothes, a fine armor inside, and a majestic horseman.

Xu Shu, who was already angry, still had the demeanor to remind, raised the crossbow in his hand and shot at the other party.

An iron arrow filled with Xu Shu's anger flew away.
