More than 200 thieves smoothly approached the camp of the Taiyuan soldiers, because the fortress was built in a hurry, except for the many large trees that were up to five feet high and three feet thick in all directions, there was no other defense.

However, it was not easy for the Taiyuan soldiers to defend, and it was not easy for the thieves to attack. The five-foot-high, three-foot-thick log was easy to turn over, but it had to abandon the heavy wooden shield. Or brave the rain of arrows of officers and soldiers to forcibly move away the big wood.

Seeing this, the fierce thieves immediately threw down the heavy wooden cards and climbed the big log, and the archers behind them immediately drew their bows to cover them, and the last three rows of spearmen and swordsmen also accelerated their advance. Several anxious thieves first climbed the big log, jumped on the round big log, and were about to raise their swords and jump down to pounce on the officers and soldiers, when several archers hiding under the big tree immediately shot sharp arrows in their hands diagonally. The screams began, and the bloody battle of attack and defense of the big wooden formation officially began.

"Kill." With the thief's order from Xu Biao, a burst of shouts and killings broke out. The murderous aura condensed in the suppressed hearts of the thieves on weekdays was all released at this moment. This murderous aura is enough to make the ghosts and gods retreat.

In the shouting of killing, countless elite thieves jumped on the big wood with knives, and the people in the front, one by one, holding ring knives, like lone wolves, roared to kill the soldiers of Taiyuan County.

Among the soldiers of Taiyuan County, the fastest launch is still the arrows of the archers, and when Li Ping gave an order, these archers who had already drawn their bows and aimed at their targets instantly let go of the bowstrings in their hands.

"Whoosh." Countless arrows flew down, and countless thieves fell to the ground screaming, but the screams could only be made once, and then they lost their breath. Because these are without exception, either in the chest or in the neck.

These archers and soldiers have not practiced other weapons, since the day of the army, they have only practiced bows and arrows, maybe the rate of fire is not too fast, but the crosshairs are first-class. No matter who you are, if you only practice one thing for half a year, you will also have this achievement.

It's just that the thieves' bows are dense with arrows, and the continuous projectiles all over the sky make the Taiyuan County soldiers unable to poke out their heads, so they have to watch the thieves continue to pour onto the big wood. "Kill." The second wave of thieves and elites took advantage of the cover of the archers, jumped into the fortress, and started a desperate fight with ring knives.

"Flutter." "Flutter." The ring knife is long, the spear is long, and the spear is light, and the speed is fast. In the fight, the power displayed was extremely amazing, dozens of thieves holding ring knives held knives in both hands, and when they slashed down, their force made the knives make a roar in the air, and the speed was amazing. Often before the Han soldiers came to their senses, they were already in two places.

The entry of the thieves made the thief archers stop shooting, and the right wing immediately stepped forward to encircle and suppress the thieves. Although the thieves are fierce, the soldiers of Taiyuan County are not fighting alone, and there are often several people fighting together, not to mention the special squad melee formation Mandarin Duck Formation. Or the ability of three officers and soldiers is not as good as one thief, but if it is in a formation, no matter how many thieves there are, it will not be able to help the soldiers of Taiyuan County.

From being caught off guard by the thieves at the beginning, killing and wounding more than a dozen people, to stabilizing in a short period of time and starting a counterattack, but in a few breaths, the thieves who rushed into the formation were divided and surrounded and killed by the officers and soldiers one by one.

First, dozens of people were shot and killed by a round of arrow rain, and then nearly 100 people were killed by the Taiyuan County soldiers in the blink of an eye. The four hundred elite soldiers in Xu Biao's department were killed by one-third in a short period of time. Such casualties were unexpected, very, very unexpected. Even if there are several times the number of officers and troops in Hedong County, they cannot let the already army suffer such heavy losses.

Xu Biao couldn't believe that the army was an elite soldier who had been carefully trained by the military master Xu Huang for half a year and had gone through countless bloody battles for the survival of the fittest. When in Xu Huang's hands, he can break the army of a thousand people. What is in his own hands, but it is useless.

When Xu Biao was about to give the order to release arrows across the big wood to take revenge, in Li Ping's loud shout, Zhongjuntun killed from the path reserved on both sides, the arrows flew on his head, and the screams of the thieves did not make the Taiyuan soldiers panic in the slightest.

Perhaps it was Ding Yuan's intentional conspiracy a month ago that made the Taiyuan soldiers see the tragic bloody battle early. Perhaps He Bai's political and ideological education played a role, anyway, the soldiers quickly entered the role, holding weapons and rushing towards the thieves, showing their elite nature. Wherever he went, the thief was immediately killed.

Xu Biao was shocked inexplicably, but in the end, he was a general who had been following Xu Huang for a long time, and he had a lot of experience in battle. Immediately realizing the disadvantage of his army, that is, the problem of coordination, Xu Biao immediately shouted: "Don't engage them in close combat, keep a distance, and shoot with a bow." ”

At the moment when Xu Biao was stunned by horror, the same was true of the thieves. The white wave thieves in Xihe roamed Xihe and Hedong counties for most of the year. I have fought countless battles with the court army, when have I encountered this situation, a look, the robes behind me didn't see what the situation was, and the robes in front of me had already screamed and fell in a pool of blood. Even people who are usually brave and extraordinary, one by one, fell into the chaos of guns.

Xu Biao's department is the elite of thieves, and he is not afraid of death, but the inexplicable death, the unstoppable death, is really terrible. The battlefield was narrow, it was inconvenient to advance and retreat, and dozens of people were killed by the Taiyuan soldiers who rushed into the formation, and the casualties of Xu Biao's department exceeded 200. In the era of cold weapons, how could there be more than 50 percent casualties without collapse.

Without waiting for Xu Biao to speak to reinvigorate the morale of the army, the thieves under his command were already crying, and the wolf fled suddenly. Farewell, of course, there are also the archers of Taiyuan County who can shoot arrows safely.

Xu Huang, who was in the main formation of the Chinese army, frowned, and muttered to himself: "How come even the elite of our department can't do it, the cooperation of this Taiyuan army is so close and difficult to defeat." The more brave the elite, the greater the casualties? How exactly is this army trained? ”

Xu Biao fled back with less than a hundred thieves, kneeling in front of Xu Huang on his knees and not daring to raise his head in shame. Seeing that Xu Huang was silent for a long time, Xu Biao shouted with excitement on his face: "Military master, his subordinates are incompetent, his subordinates are guilty, please give his subordinates another chance, and his subordinates will personally go into battle this time, and they will definitely be big thieves." Otherwise, the subordinates will no longer come to see the military master. ”

Xu Huang groaned: "This army is too elite, and you can't fight it. Moreover, the goal of our army is to come to Taiyuan County to explore the road, not to fight to the death with officials and thieves. So this battle is still over. ”

"That's it?" Xu Biao looked up in astonishment and asked, "Lord, our department has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and even the elite has lost more than 300 people, that's it?" ”

"Or else?" Xu Huang said in a low voice: "Cousin, you and I are originally a good family, and we had to be coerced by the white wave thief and obey the thief, do you really want to fight with the official army endlessly?" The soldiers of Taiyuan County are difficult to fight, and the soldiers of the state are not bad, and the soldiers of Xiliang are going to come to Hedong again, and the white wave thieves are declining and difficult to last. It's time for you and me to prepare for our own future. ”

Xu Biao woke up suddenly, immediately stood up and asked, "Then what should I do?" Does the military master want to join the Taiyuan County Army? Yang Ge is a member of the Yang Feng clan, and he is only afraid of ......"

Xu Huang shook his head hesitantly and said: "Although He Tianming, the governor of Taiyuan, has great talent, I Xu Huang is not much worse than him. Besides, he is only a lieutenant of Taiyuan, and there are only 3 or 5,000 county soldiers under his command, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to accommodate me. There are thousands of people under my command at this time, and it is expected that they will be able to get rid of the Han family, so it is better to find a powerful person to serve. Yang Gemo...... I see that Yang Feng also has the intention of subduing the court, so let's go back and persuade him to talk about it. ”

Xu Biao hurriedly agreed, Xu Huang stared at the Taiyuan soldiers' base for a while, and then shouted: "Order, Mingjin withdraws the troops." ”

A series of golden sounds, the front team of the thief army made the rear team, and the back team formed the front team, and slowly retreated towards the army camp.

Li Ping looked at the retreating thief and couldn't help but sigh. The reason for the victory of today's army is that the battle formation granted by the lord He Bai is powerful, and the second is that the soldiers are using their lives up and down, and the commanders of the generals are powerful. Speaking of which, this battle has not contributed much.

Xu Huang had just traveled a few miles when he saw the deputy general Yang Ge leading thirty or forty horsemen to flee back in embarrassment, and the Taiyuan light cavalry actually had thirty-seven horsemen galloping back and forth outside Lixu. couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "Brother Yang, why is it so miserable?" ”

Yang Ge's old face turned red, and he scolded hatefully: "This official thief is senseless and shameless, and he will never fight with me, but he just retreats and shoots me with arrows." Moreover, the official thief has two horses, and every time the horsepower is weak, he will change horses and flee again. I couldn't catch up, but there were many casualties. ”

Xu Huang felt a heartache in his heart, five hundred horsemen, including his own two hundred horsemen, a total of more than three hundred horses were sent by Yang Ge, which is really a pity. In addition, the elite infantry also killed as many as 300 people, and nearly half of the elite of the army has gone. In addition, the newly acquired 900 auxiliaries were also lost, and the battle lost 1,500 people, but the result was less than 100. This time I came to Taiyuan, although there was a supplement along the way, but the loss was more, which was really a loss.

But it's okay, this Yang Ge has seen the power of the Taiyuan soldiers, and he will be able to make strong circumstantial evidence for his own suggestions after he goes back. Don't worry about whether the lord Yang Feng agrees to surrender to the court, and he doesn't need to be a villain who betrays his righteousness.

He Bai rushed to lead his Wudou Blood Cavalry and White Horse Yi to ride day and night, and came to Zishi County, preparing to meet Xu Huang Xu Gongming, one of the five good generals of the Wei State in the future, who had the wind of Zhou Yafu, did not want Xu Huang to have been defeated by Li Ping and withdrew from Taiyuan County. This made He Bai sigh and rejoice.

sighed that he lost an opportunity to summon the future star Xu Huang; Happily, the army was defeated in the process of not having a famous general to fight against it. How could this not make He Bai happy. It seems that this Xu Huang has not yet grown to the point of being a famous general with the style of Zhou Yafu in the future.

The army also proved through this battle that He Bai's training in later generations was not bad. As long as it is refined for another year and a half, it is definitely one of the strongest armies in the world. It is not a problem to fight for the first army in the world.
