Li Tian nodded, looked at the infantry phalanx of Zhaojiabao, and saw that the army phalanx was still pouring out of the city gate.

This pirate legion consisted of a phalanx of 100 people, and a total of eight phalanxes appeared, all of which were armed with wooden shields.

Arla looked at the armed people blankly, and thought strangely: "Are these Ming people crazy? With a big wooden board and a rotten spear, they dare to delusionally dream of fighting with the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners?"

All the Qing soldiers thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty had always been weak, and they were surprised that the people of Zhaojiabao dared to go out of the city to resist.

When I saw that these Ming people, who had always let themselves fish and flesh, really walked on the suspension bridge and crossed the river to line up by themselves, the entire Qing army burst into an uproar.

There was a lot of laughter around them, and Arla sneered: "Even if these Ming people don't know death, then let them die." ”

He even ordered to retreat, deliberately giving up a piece of land, so that the people who went out of the city were armed and kept in array.

Arla, who has more than 500 clothed minions, often laments that they are angry with the Ming people who refuse to surrender, so why should they be loyal to the rotten Ming Dynasty.

Even Yuan Chenghuan, the enemy of Houjin, was killed by Emperor Chongzhen, how could the people below still not see clearly, the Ming Dynasty was about to fall.

In the precarious Ming Dynasty, there is no way out, how good it is to be a slave after coming to us, and hard work will be praised by the master.

When the master is happy, he may also be blessed with a beautiful woman from a slave's family, which is the honor of the master to the slave, so being a slave is happy.

It's just that there are always some bad embryos in the Ming people, and they want to resist the invincible Dahou Jin, if they don't be ruthless with these stinky stones, I don't know how many Ming people will be damaged.

Lingtian wanted to use the lives of these Ming people who went out of the city to find death to warn those Han slaves in Liaodong, and also hung the heads of these people in front of Shanhaiguan, so that the Ming people knew that Liaodong was a world full of people.

Thinking of this, Arla's eyes twinkled. Seeing that the 1,000 infantry from Zhaojiabao out of the city had all crossed the drawbridge and were in formation, he felt that they had not come far enough.

He said to Niu Lu, a close confidant beside him: "Gui Bai, I will lead the army to lure the Han people on the opposite side to advance, and when they are far enough away from the drawbridge, you will take three hundred white-armored soldiers to block their retreat." ”

Niu Lu, who was called Guibai, replied with a cruel smile: "It's so good, my lord, I won't let a Ming person go back." ”

The infantry of Zhaojiabao lined up in a square protective formation and began to advance towards Wang Dan, and in this neat formation, everyone sounded a neat trumpet at the same time.

The front and back, left and right sides of the infantry, including the top of their heads, were protected by huge wooden shields. The sharp spear opened the narrow gap between the shields, and stretched out fiercely.

As soon as the Qing soldiers approached, several spears would be stabbed out, and the shields were tightly combined, blocking the arrows that one qiē shot.

Because the Qing soldiers had never seen this kind of formation, coupled with Arla's order, they didn't dare to attack.

They just kept controlling the horses to roam around, not letting the spears in the shield attack them, and at the same time constantly firing arrows to test them.

Li Tian's seventeen people also suddenly exerted their strength. Breaking through in the direction of Zhaojiabao together, with the power of the dragon elephant war horse, it is also comparable to the Qing army.

Seeing the invincible Tartar soldiers, they were forced to constantly dodge by themselves. The love of the soldiers of Zhaojiabao rose, which was something that had never happened since the Houjin Uprising.

Seeing that the phalanx was gradually deformed and prominent, Arla was about to give the order to attack, when several voices in the phalanx shouted and ordered: all stop. Regroup. ”

As soon as the order was given, the phalanx came to a standstill, and the slightly protruding team in the front row quickly retracted. The military discipline of the order and prohibition made the Qing soldiers begin to put away their contempt.

When the queue was complete, someone in the phalanx shouted: "The whole army advances, keep the formation." ”

The thousand-man phalanx began to move towards Li Tian again, and the tight formation forced the Qing army to have no way to speak, so they could only be constantly pushed back.

When Li Tian saw this picture, he was surprised and began to guess who was commanding this infantry legion.

Arla is also secretly frightened, this Ming man is too disciplined, I'm afraid this time it will not be so easy to kill.

He saw that the Ming phalanx was far enough away from the drawbridge, so he could only order an attack with a little helplessness.

Arla would not let the phalanx join the Seventeen Knights.

When the Qing army sounded the horn of attack and began to attack, he was shocked to find that his 1,500 people had been killed by about 200 people by seventeen mysterious knights.

At this time, Guibai led three hundred white-armored soldiers and had already rushed to the back of the phalanx.

"I hope these Akito are still so weak. ”

Arla prayed to God with trepidation.

The Qing army rushed to the phalanx like a torrent of fire, blocking and encircling the advancing phalanx, and the white-armored soldiers also joined the siege of the opposing formation from the rear.

The Qing army, which was attacking with all its might, was incomparable, and in the blink of an eye, the phalanx was crushed into a ball.

"Victory, victory. !”

When the Qing army was slashing and slashing, they let out a loud cheer that shook the sky.

Arra's heart was relieved, these Ming people are still so easy to kill, it seems that the real trouble is still those seventeen people.

But as long as you grind it slowly, you can always get rid of it.

He had already begun to think about slaughtering this Zhaojiabao after the seventeen people and the Ming people who left the city were eliminated.

Those who dare to resist Dahou Jin must be killed.

Thinking of this, Arla looked at Zhaojiabao coldly, and even saw that the city wall was full of the heads of Zhaojiabao's subjects.

Suddenly, the Qing soldiers stopped advancing, and although they were still wielding the big blades, they no longer had the excitement and confidence they had just now.

Arla looked at the battlefield in disbelief, and after an eerie silence, a man's roar came from the encircled phalanx.

"Your relatives and friends are all in Zhaojiabao, retreating is death, not only you, but also the people of Zhaojiabao, if you don't want to die, listen to my orders, everyone pushes forward. ”

"Swear to defend Zhaojiabao ......"

The shouts of countless soldiers sounded in the phalanx, and then one after another military orders rang out.

"Push!"

With a burst of loud shouts that resounded through the sky, the Qing army, which was like a mudslide, was pushed back by the people and horses, and many cavalry were also crushed and injured by the horses that fell to the ground.

Arla's eyes were wide open, and she looked at this qiē incredulously.

When the Qing soldiers, who had been pushed a few steps away, charged again, they only heard another roar in the phalanx.

"Thorn! sting!"

Just as a large forest suddenly grew on the earth, countless spears suddenly stabbed out from the dense phalanx shields, slashing through the chest and abdomen of the war horse and stabbing close to the body of the Qing soldiers.

Then the voice rang out again.

"Close!"

After the spear jungle returned to the shield array, the corpses of the Qing soldiers hanging on the tips of the spears were all thrown to the ground.

The Qing soldiers behind took advantage of the shield infantry to withdraw their spears, stepped on the corpses of their accomplices, and rushed forward again......

But what awaited them was the same voice, and the dense jungle of spears.

"Thorn!"

The dense forest of guns stabbed in the face instantly took the lives of hundreds of people, and countless people were injured.

"Thorn, stab, stab, stab, ......"

As the guns were fired again and again, they were retracted and shots were shot again, leaving corpses all over the ground.

The brave Qing soldiers finally retreated in fear, and when they saw the strong phalanx with the corpses piled up, they did not dare to rush forward again.

The odious voice came from the shield phalanx again.

"The whole army marched forward, keeping in formation. ”

Immediately after that, the phalanx stepped on the ground full of corpses and advanced neatly again.

The Qing soldiers turned around in panic in panic, pushing each other and fleeing backwards.

This scene made Arla grit his teeth, when would the Hou Han people chase after the Eight Banners to fight.

The Zhaojiabao phalanx still continued to advance firmly, stabbing the wounded Qing soldiers with guns without hesitation along the way, and gradually approached Li Tian's seventeen people.

Guibai took the remaining more than 100 white-armored soldiers back to Arla in a panic and asked hurriedly, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Arla was heartbroken and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but they did not dare to retreat, and when they were thinking hard about countermeasures, the screams of the Qing soldiers continued to sound.

Because the Qing army was in chaos, the attack of the seventeen people besieging Li Tian was also weakened a lot.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Tian suddenly stood up from the horse, took out the elven war bow he was carrying, drew an arrow and aimed it at Arla, and shot the sharp arrow in his hand after taking a glance.

A faint whistling sound broke through the air, and Arla snorted, her neck pierced by a long arrow.

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, but the picture of burning and killing the Ming people village and town unexpectedly flashed, how high-spirited he was at that time.

Amid the exclamations of his own soldiers and Guibai, Arla slowly fell to the ground.

Gui Bai hurriedly jumped off his horse to help, and he said intermittently: "Withdraw, withdraw, let the master bring red, red-clothed cannons, come!"

Before he could finish speaking, Arla died.

Guibai shouted to the remaining Qing soldiers, "Retreat." ”

Like frightened birds, the Qing soldiers quickly disappeared into the distance, along with Arla's dead corpse.

The phalanx could no longer be sustained, and the infantry fell to the ground and were unable to get up.

At this time, Zhaojiabao resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and the eight hundred phalanx infantry looked at each other in disbelief, and were surprised to find that they had won.

Li Tian and the sixteen warriors were seriously injured, but they insisted on riding their horses towards Zhaojiabao to fight the soldiers, wanting to thank these warriors who spontaneously went into battle.

If it weren't for them, these seventeen would have died at the hands of the Qing army.

The soldiers of Zhaojiabao struggled to stand up, but suddenly cried bitterly, because only more than 500 people could still move, and more than 300 companions fell on the ground forever. (To be continued......)
