"Your Majesty, it's not a way to go on like this, the thief formation is too hard to break!"

The person who spoke was called Gao Laohu, and one-seventh of Zhong Xiang's current territory was beaten down by him.

Zhong Xiang was also very anxious, but he could still keep calm: "Our army has a large number of generals, if one is unstable, another will respond, and it can last for a long time." The enemy's major generals were slight, one was scattered, and the whole plate was defeated. In the long run, our army will win! ”

Gao Laohu said: "The generals of all departments sent troops to report, the iron-clad guards of the Xiao Zhu thief have not yet been dispatched, and I don't know which direction to kill, and I am afraid that Brother Ying and I will not be able to rescue in time." ”

At the beginning of the negotiations, Zhu Ming's personal guards had appeared in the face, and the generals of the Chu State were deeply afraid of this, and Zhong Xiang specially prepared a secret weapon.

Gao Laohu and Yingxuan's troops are Zhong Xiang's hole cards.

Hundreds of the corporal under the command of Gao Tiger used long spears, which were thin and long, sharp heads. It can pierce through heavy armor, but steel is not easy to obtain, and only a few hundred of them have been built, and the rest are blunt instruments with wooden sticks and iron heads.

Yingxuan himself is a hero of Dongting Lake, and he defeated two counties by himself and ran to join Zhong Xiang's team. also selected strong people and reorganized them into a department, and the whole army used blunt weapons to fight, and was recruited by Zhong Xiang to deal with Zhu Ming's personal guards.

There are more than one or two generals who brought capital into the group, such as Zhang Guangdao was in Hanyang at this time, and the Chu general who confronted him was called Chen Yuxin. After Chen Yuxin captured the two county seats, he took the territory and army to Zhong Xiang, and Zhong Xiang was canonized as the king of the county.

"You go around the rear army of the Zhu Thief, the ironclad soldiers may come out from there, and our army is the weakest over there," Zhong Xiang added, admonishing, "Go to the Gen and cadre positions of the Zhu Thief Great Array to wait for battle, if the Zhu Thief Ironclad soldiers come out from the left and right armies, you can also quickly go and deal with it." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Laohu and Ying Xuan immediately led their troops around to their destination.

The fierce battle continued, and the morale of the Chu army was getting lower and lower. There were constant reserves, passing through the passages between the ministries to aid the crumbling friendly forces.

Gong Bin's arms were sore at the moment, and he repeatedly poked mechanically.

He was an old man who followed Zhu Ming to exterminate Heifeng Village, and led his troops to attack Dasanguan unsuccessfully, and was ambushed by Wu Jue and killed and injured more than 1,000 people. This incident was regarded by him as a great shame, and after the reorganization, the soldiers trained more diligently, and accompanied the soldiers to practice to the death.

Because it was too elite, it had now become a salient, and it was involuntarily killed, and more than a thousand soldiers in front were besieged from three sides.

Yang Qin came to the rescue with his own soldiers, and cooperated with the supervising team to stabilize and not collapse, and now he is frantically attacking Gong Bin's prominent front side.

Yang Qi, who was still young, rushed with his brother Yang Qin, and was scratched in the face by a wolf as soon as he participated in the battle. Taking advantage of Yang Qin's swing away from the wolf, Yang Mi rushed in, and was instantly stabbed in the shoulder by a rake, and a bloody wound also appeared on his neck.

was poked back by the boring palladium, Yang Mi had to be forced to resist the weapon, and the skills he had learned for most of the past half a year could not be brought into full play.

Yang Qin also secretly complained, they belonged to Zhong Xiang's lineage, the source of soldiers was the best, and the armor was also the best. But when you really face the mandarin duck array, you don't know how to start at all.

"Knock knock!"

The drums sounded in the rear, and Yang Qin knew that it was Emperor Zhong Xiang personally beating the drums to help the battle.

"Long live the master!" Yang Qin shouted fiercely.

"Long live the master!" The soldiers around him shouted along.

Yang Qin shouted again: "Mingzun bless!" ”

"Blessed by Mingzun!"

"Long live the master!"

"Blessed by Mingzun!"

More and more Chu soldiers shouted along, as if they had added some BUFF, and their qi and blood surged up and rushed forward frantically.

There were even Chu soldiers who didn't care about being injured, so they threw away their weapons to catch the wolf and cover the friendly troops to rush in.

There were constantly Chu troops who crossed the two-layer defenses of wolf milling and boring palladium, and frantically squeezed forward next to each other. The soldiers in the front row were completely involuntarily, including Yang Qin and Yang Mi, who were all carried forward by the fanatical soldiers.

The wolf mill has completely lost its effect, and the wolf miller draws his waist knife and prepares to engage.

The rakes and spears are still poking repeatedly, and the rattan and long players are like enemies.

Gong Bin shouted: "Blow the trumpet, stabilize the formation!" ”

The trumpets blew, followed by the whistles of the squad leaders.

This old man is really unlucky, he was defeated by Wu Jue in the previous surprise attack, and now he has met Zhong Xiang's descendant fanatics.

Yang Qin kept spitting out blood from his mouth, and he shouted those few voices just now just to boost morale. But he was the first to fight, and was squeezed forward by the fanatical rear soldiers, and was stabbed four times in a row, one of which was deep into the abdomen.

The enemy's spear was drawn, the soldiers in the rear were still moving forward, and Yang Qin was knocked down by the soldiers under his command and trampled to death in front of the battle.

This Chu army has indeed become not afraid of death, but the formation is completely chaotic, and even the main general is killed, so he only knows how to rush forward with his weapons. Their casualty rate increased exponentially, but they were about to break through the mandarin duck formation, and the wolf milling and boring rake were ineffective.

Among the infantry, the sword and shield hand is the most difficult to train.

Now it's up to the sword and shield hand to defend, and the long player stops moving, sticking the giant shield into the ground and holding the position with all his might. The rattan player uses the round shield to block left and right, and repeatedly swings the knife to cut out.

The pikemen behind them, stabbing back and forth.

Gong Bin complained bitterly, remembering that he was surrounded by Wu Jue at the beginning, and roared angrily: "Juntian, Juntian, wife and children, parents are all watching!" ”

"Juntian! Juntian! ”

One after another, the soldiers shouted the word Juntian, and the Juntian they were given was in Jingmen in the rear.

The least amount of military land is 10 acres, as long as it is a soldier who has participated in the defense of Hanzhong, all the fields that are less than 10 acres will make up for the quota of 10 acres. There are also some sergeants and lieutenants who have more than 15, 20, or 30 acres of military land.

Although it is all wasteland, the family is reclaiming it, and the displaced people are also helping to reclaim the wasteland.

It's all good land, and it only takes two or three years to become a mature land!

If they are defeated today and the Chu army takes advantage of the situation to occupy Jingmen, what can their military fields do?

The long poker player desperately held on to the giant shield, and the pikeman stabbed wildly. Some rattan players have been injured and are still in front of them with injuries. Even the firefighters stepped forward with their swords, ready to fill the empty slots.

Gu San had already led his troops through the passage, where the obstacles had been cleared, and another Chu army wanted to enter the passage.

Fifteen hundred heavy infantry dressed in infantry armor stood in six columns at the entrance of the passage to meet the attack.

Some are armed with spears, others with bones. Without defense at all, let the Chu army attack the armor, they raised their hands and stabbed out with a shot, and smashed down with a wave of their arms.

It was very slow, but it kept moving forward, and the Chu army in front of it was killed and retreated.

After fighting out of the passage, some of the heavy infantry continued to move forward, while others attacked the enemy on both sides nearby, and cooperated with friendly forces to flank the Chu army on both sides.

Those Chu troops have been fighting for a long time, and they have long been at the end of their crossbows, and they have finally begun to collapse under the attack from both sides.

Gao Laohu and Yingxuan's spears and blunt weapons troops immediately went to the rescue, and they finally waited for the ironclad troops of Xiao Zhu Thief.

However, the Chu army collapsed too quickly!

The first to flee was Chen Ziyi's side, Chen Ziyi led eighty heavy cavalry, and led Hu Cong's abandoned horses out of the passage, while Hua Rong's musketeers followed.

The musketeers mingled among the heavily armored soldiers, and after fighting out of the passage, with a whistle, they opened fire on the Chu army two or three meters away.

The reason why it is so close is that the enemies on both sides have rushed in front of them!

Originally, the armor of the whole body was terrifying enough, and the volley of muskets in front of him made the Chu army's soul scatter.

Before the smoke had completely cleared, the lucky ones who rushed over and didn't die turned around and fled as if they had met the Dark Lord.

Chen Ziyi led the heavily armored soldiers to take the opportunity to advance, while Hu Cong protected the firecrackers to reload.

One after another, the mandarin duck squads, liberated by the rout of the enemy, quickly cooperated with the heavily armored soldiers to horizontally flank the Chu army that was fighting, and soon caused a chain reaction on the battlefield.

In the end, the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry could not even touch the enemy.

Because they walked too slowly after leaving the camp due to the muddy road, the combined attack speed could not keep up with the Mandarin Duck team.

In three directions, the six Chu troops broke and fled, and the rear generals hurriedly transferred the reserves up, but the reserves also suffered the impact of the rout.

Gao Laohu led the troops against the rout, regardless of the enemy or me, and killed if he dared to approach.

Gu San ordered the heavy infantry to turn around and meet the battle, unable to charge, and stood by in place.

Gao Laohu glanced at the general flag beside Gu San, and rushed to the nearest place with his bare feet in the muddy water. Both of them are practitioners, but they don't need any tricks at the moment, they just poke their guns at each other quickly. And the target is the other party's chest and abdomen, and they don't stab the throat or anything like that.

Almost at the same time, Gu San was shot through his armor by a sharp spear and stabbed in the ribs. The slender tip pierced the armor, weakened and got stuck between the two ribs.

The tall tiger was stabbed in the abdomen, and the light armor mixed with skin and iron, which slightly blocked the weapon, was pierced through the fat layer on the belly, and it was very likely that it had injured the intestines.

The two of them put away their guns at the same time, and they stabbed out fiercely.

This time, Gao Laohu was not injured enough to pierce the heavy armor, and was stabbed in the chest by Gu Sanyi's gun.

The mixed army of high tigers with sharp and blunt weapons could not cope with the heavy infantry at all, unless they were also equipped with heavy armor.

Shi Biao's side is similar, but his martial arts are obviously inferior to Yingxuan.

Ying Xuan is the most famous hero in the Dongting Lake area, and fighting on flat ground is not his home field, he can walk on flat ground on a ship with strong winds and waves.

The man was barefoot on the muddy ground, running on tiptoe and killing, seemingly completely unaffected by the terrain.

Shi Biao only relied on brute force to fight, and his shoulders and arms were hit with several sticks. The long stick with an iron head hammered the skin under the heavy armor to bruise, and Shi Biao's left arm was already difficult to exert strength.

But this is a battle after all, not a battle between the rivers and lakes.

Shi Biao cooperated with his subordinates and stabbed Zhongying Xuan twice in succession.

Although Ying Xuan is brave, his subordinates are not all like this. And many of them are from the rangers, they don't like arrays, and even if they are arrayed, they quickly scatter, and they seem to prefer to kill the enemy with their personal bravery.

1,500 heavy infantry lined up to meet the enemy, and more than 3,000 Yingxuan fought with blunt weapons. At first, they could still knock the heavy infantry bruised, and even beat the heavy infantry to vomit blood, but after only two or three minutes, these Jianghu rangers with scattered formations were used by the heavy infantry to use the formation to join forces to kill back.

Unfortunately, the heavy infantry could not pursue, and the rangers dragged the wounded Ying Xuan to retreat.

At this time, nine Chu troops had fled, and several reserves were scattered, and Zhong Xiang urgently brought his soldiers to participate in the battle.

But it seemed that it was too late, and the speed of the collapse of the Chu army far exceeded the speed of Zhong Xiang's rescue.
