Liu Tai built an organized army in this era, and especially did his best to ensure the welfare and equipment of the soldiers, but he never really fought against the elite that this era thought it would be.

Basically, Liu Tai's army used a knife to kill chickens and fight rookie dogs, so Liu Tai never really estimated the combat effectiveness of the army under his command.

Because in Liu Tai's view, he wants to be above it, and he has to get it, and the army cultivated in this way is only about 12/12 of the benchmark army.

Because of this, Liu Tai didn't know what kind of monster he had cultivated.

Zhou Ping didn't know that the army under his command was so strong, in the case of the equipment of the two sides was almost the same, in the face of at least double his enemy, the gap in the toughness of the two sides in the frontal fight, with the bloody battle of the two armies, began to gradually divide the victory and defeat.

Because the soldiers under Shao Xu's command are condensed with military discipline and military law, and the object they are afraid of is not Shao Xu, but Gou Xi.

Therefore, the authorities were deadlocked, especially when Zhou Ping's army pushed back, and the will of the soldiers under Shao Xu's command was shaken badly at this moment.

They haven't collapsed yet, that's because the first one to run away hasn't appeared yet!

As for the soldiers and soldiers under Zhou Ping, they were constantly armed by Liu Tai with nationalism.

At least in this era, they read the Book of Han, and they sought to be the Han family, which belonged to people of faith.

They felt honored for themselves as Han Chinese, and they were willing to die for the revival of the Han family.

This is the most essential gap between the two sides.

This kind of gap, if in the case of Shao Xu's ambush, he will not be able to realize the effect of this willpower at all.

But when the soldiers on both sides fought on the battlefield, watching their comrades and opponents fall in pools of blood in the shadow of swords and swords, discipline can only sustain their actions, but faith guides their will.

Therefore, as the soldiers under Zhou Ping's command became more and more courageous, when the first deserter appeared in the army under Shao Xu's command, Shao Xu knew that he was defeated, and he was so defeated that he had nothing to say, and the other party actually defeated his own army in the front with a smaller number than his own!

To be honest, even Zhou Ping was a little unbelievable in this scene.

Because Zhou Ping was also pregnant, this bloody battle killed and injured the opponent's soldiers to the greatest extent, and repelled the opponent's charge, so he sent the soldiers to find Liu Tai and let Liu Tai attack.

But now, his subordinates killed the other party with fear, killed Shao Xu and fled, killing as if Liu Tai and the plan he made at the beginning seemed to have become a joke.

Because even if the number of troops under his command is smaller than that of the other party, in other aspects, all of them are stronger than the other party's army!

Sometimes, it is difficult for people to realize their true strength, but this time Shao Xu fought head-on with Zhou Ping's soldiers, which directly made Zhou Ping tear open this layer of knowledge barrier, his army is stronger than the other party, and it is proved by the blood of the battlefield.

So Zhou Ping didn't care about anything, and directly ordered the soldiers to pursue!

At this moment, Shao Xu watched Zhou Ping chase out, and he hated it even more in his heart, you didn't chase when Xu Niche retreated just now, and now that Lao Tzu has retreated, you are chasing so actively, this is not cooperating with Xu Niche playing me.

Therefore, Shao Xu turned his heart sideways, and also took his own rout and fled directly in the direction of Xu Di.

Xu Gong was also pressing the formation on the side, but he didn't expect to think that Zhou Ping's army not only defeated Shao Xu's elite, but also continued to pursue, just in a trance, Shao Xu had already rushed over with his rout!

"What are you doing rushing to me, damn it, change your direction!"

Xu Yan looked at the fierce eyes of Zhou Ping's army, and did not have the slightest intention of letting his subordinates rush up to the top.

Because his army is even more ineffective than Shao Xu's army, he has long been afraid of being killed in the battle with Zhou Ping's subordinates, and now he is a little weak when he sees Zhou Ping's army.

Let his army be on top, I am afraid that he will die faster, so Xu Gong didn't say a word, but decisively turned in the direction of Gou Xi!

Run, run!

Shao Xu and Xu Ni tacitly ran towards Gou Xi's camp, because at this time only Gou Xi could save them.

It's just that they really don't understand, obviously there are many more troops on their side than Zhou Ping's army, how can they kill and kill, but they are themselves who flee!?

Zhou Ping was also hot at the beginning and chased out, but now seeing that the two armies surrounding him actually broke and fled, this made Zhou Ping a little trance, because this was a major first entry with Liu Tai's plan.

After all, Xu Gong and Shao Xu had more than 8,000 soldiers under their command, while Zhou Ping's soldiers were only 2,000.

Liu Tai initially made a plan, and it was sure that it would be good if Zhou Ping could hold the barracks, and he didn't have much extravagance at all.

But Liu Tai didn't expect that Xu Niche and Shao Xu were divided into two groups, and because Xu Niche was a tribal system, the impact on Zhou Ping's military camp was almost minimal, but his own soldiers were killed so that they didn't dare to fight again.

And although Shao Xu's soldiers are elite, the elite also depends on the opponent.

He killed 1,000 people in the battle, and his morale was seriously shaken or even collapsed, and the soldiers under Zhou Ping's command directly killed 500 people in this battle, and the entire army could still run like an arm, and the soldiers were not demoralized.

This makes Shao Xu still have to fight, after all, he only has 4,000 people in his hands, not 8,000 people!

But now, none of Liu Tai's plans were made by Zhou Ping's army to kill Shao Xu and Xu Gong's two armies, so Zhou Ping was also a little confused at the moment.

He was so confused and Gou Xi boasted so much, but the army under his command didn't seem to be very strong, and he could cut down at least 8,000 opponents with 2,000 people, so General Liu wanted to kill the remaining people in Gou Xixiang, he should be able to do it easily!

So Zhou Ping suddenly had a wit when he thought of this, and immediately asked the soldiers to send cavalry to Laiwu City to report the matter to Liu Tai.

As for yourself, what are you going to do, continue to chase and kill!

The cavalry who delivered the message naturally rushed to Laiwu City at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles, and he almost fell to the ground when he dismounted.

Liu Tai knew this cavalryman, and he was Zhou Ping's cronies, and said, "Zhou Xiaoer, how is the situation in Zhou Ping?"

"Great, great!" Zhou Xiaoer took a breath but said, "Captain Zhou killed the Jin army with two thousand against eight thousand, so Captain Zhou ordered me to come over to report the news and ask the general to make a quick decision on the next battle!" ”

"Two thousand against eight thousand frontal cut down ......," Liu Tai was a little incredulous when he heard this battle ratio.

But soon Liu Tai reacted, now is not the time to worry so much.

Since the situation has suddenly become so favorable to him, the most important thing for him is to attack directly to Gou Xi's main camp and defeat him.

"Liu Ming, you stay and garrison Laiwu, Ge Xin, you follow me to conquer Gou Xi!" Liu Tai said decisively.

Regarding Liu Tai's order, both Liu Ming and Ge Xin immediately answered.

At the same time, the 10,000 soldiers in the city were specially arranged by Liu Tai to be able to send troops at any time after making a decision.

Gou Xi put all his thoughts on building engineering equipment in the barracks, after all, considering it with normal logic, Gou Xi definitely did not expect that Shao Xu and Xu Gong would defeat the attack on Zhou Ping's military camp, and they would be killed and defeated in the front.

But Gou Xi was strict in governing the army, and the sentry he arranged soon came to report to Gou Xi, and a rout army was coming!

"Route? Where did the rout come from? Gou Xi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He naturally didn't think that this was the rout of Shao Xu and Xu Gong, but simply relied on his military intuition and felt that there would be no military power here that he didn't know.

However, out of instinct, Gou Xi immediately ordered the gate of the camp to be closed, ready for defense, and the whole army began to be on alert.

And just after Gou Xi made all the preparations, Shao Xu and Xu Di appeared in the barracks unkempt at this time, and Shao Xu said loudly, "I am Shao Xu Shao Sizu, hurry up and open the door and let us in!" ”

"Ancestor!" Gou Xi looked at the scene in front of him, and his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, "You guys lost, what happened?!" ”

"Thorn History, please let us enter the barracks and report carefully!" Shao Xu hurriedly said at this time.

At this moment, there was a killing shout behind Shao Xu, and Shao Xu hurriedly said, "Please also ask the general to let us in!" ”

"Bypass the barracks, go from behind, and come back after regrouping!" Gou Xi immediately calmed down, but as a general, he knew very well that at this time, he must not let this group of frightened guys enter his camp.

When Shao Xu heard this order, he naturally instinctively responded, but Xu Gong said, "The general asked me to wait in and avoid it!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Gou Xi didn't have any nonsense with Xu Niche, and directly ordered the soldiers to order archery, and bursts of arrows rained down, but Xu Niche didn't dare to have half a minute of nonsense, and immediately went around the camp and went to the camp to complete the army!

At this time, Gou Xi was also waiting for him, after all, he needed to know what kind of changes had happened that caused Shao Xu to lose so badly.

Although Xu Gong has never put it in his eyes, Shao Xu still has some ability.

Zhou Ping chased all the way to this camp not far away, watching this camp hold on behind closed doors, prepared for it, and there was no impact at all because of the rout, so with his own people, he naturally did not have the ability to continue the chase.

However, he informed Liu Tai in the end, so Zhou Ping ordered the troops to start a slow retreat, not to mention, even picking up those guys who fell behind is considered a meritorious achievement!

However, Liu Tai did not let Zhou Ping wait longer, and about half an hour, Liu Tai appeared on the horizon with the army.

"You did a good job, you are the first to take credit for this battle, and take your troops to rest first, and leave it to me here!" Liu Tai said.

Zhou Ping didn't refute either, but when he saw Liu Tai coming, he also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the skin that was still tight suddenly softened at this time, so he let the soldiers start to rest and replenish some water along the way.

And Liu Tai looked at the military camp in front of him, without any hesitation, and immediately asked the soldiers to start throwing themselves into the war.

If this camp can be broken this time, then this battle is certain, but if it can't be broken, then the confrontation between himself and Gou Xi is afraid that it will drag on.

Liu Tai directly asked the archers to ignite the rockets and shoot at the wooden camp.

Because the vast majority of the camps are wooden, although they do not catch fire immediately after ignition, they are also a threat.

The most important thing is the tent behind the wooden walls, if these things are ignited, they cannot be extinguished all at once.

And under this rocket, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers, holding big shields and big swords, and went to this military village.

Some of them are holding barbed ladders in their hands, or some extortion.

The ladder is to be erected on the wooden wall to climb directly into it, and the purpose of the hook lock is to hook on some key nodes of the wooden wall, and directly use the power of everyone to tear off these nodes!

In the end, Liu Tai got the news and decided to attack here, so he could only carry such rudimentary siege equipment.

And Gou Xi also knew the strength of Liu Tai's army, at this moment he was quite experienced in command, where he needed manpower, he would dispatch his soldiers to where, where Liu Tai's army was brave, then immediately ordered the archers in the barracks to carry out concentrated strikes.

To tell the truth, compared with Liu Tai's roughness when he commanded, he only used to encourage the soldiers, but when he really attacked the command of the camp, Liu Tai's attack was completely unsystematic, and there was no fixed point of attack at all.

It's completely a matter of increasing troops wherever you see an opportunity, and you're a pure beginner on the battlefield.

No way, Liu Tai is really not very skilled in siege warfare, and he really has no experience in this area.

Liu Tai attacked the city, most of them used surprise attacks or surprise attacks, and Liu Tai also avoided this kind of siege war.

But Liu Tai didn't expect that his performance in the frontal siege battle was so poor, even if it was only a wooden military camp fortress, he commanded the soldiers to attack, and he couldn't find a breakthrough for a long time.

Liu Tai understood that although he thought he had overestimated Gou Xi as much as possible, he actually underestimated him!

Compared with Liu Tai, Gou Xi's command at this time was smooth, orders were issued, instructions were passed one after another, and under Gou Xi's will, the whole army was fully operational, and it can be said that the soldiers under his command were an extension of his body.

If Liu Tai wanted to break through the military fortress garrisoned by such an army head-on, it was absolutely impossible to at least use the siege weapons in his hand.

Therefore, after losing about 500 soldiers, Liu Tai decisively ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Liu Tai can accept his own defeat, and if he can't break the opponent's camp, he can't break the opponent's camp.

But if you continue to consume it, it will be too much to ignore the soldiers under your command as human beings.

"Gou Xi, I'll keep your head today, and I'll take it next time!" Liu Tai began to talk about the scene of leaving.

"Hehe, next time I don't know who is going to take whose head!" Gou Xi was not afraid of Liu Tai!

Liu Tai didn't say much, but ordered Ge Xin to be in charge of the break, and after he cleaned up the corpses of the soldiers on the battlefield, the whole army retreated, which was regarded as the first frontal battle between the two sides, drawing an imperfect end.

And Gou Xi saw Liu Tai retreating but didn't dare to pursue, through Liu Tai's siege just now, he could see the elite of Liu Tai's army, so he immediately called Xu Gong and Shao Xu over and said, "Now tell me, what happened!?" ”
