Gao Yihuan looked up into the distance, and a large number of people and horses in front of him came from all over the field.

The bandits on both sides watched a large number of figures wrapped in yellow scarves appear on the horizon, and only after walking a mile in front of the formation did they all quiet down.

Now, since they are on the side of the Shun army, the heroes will first regard themselves as a part of the Shun army, hoping that the Shun army can win the battle.

Zhang Xianzhong's re-emergence was not long, that is, Wuchang was laid in more than half a year.

Although he used his prestige among the thieves to attract a lot of thieves to take refuge, after the army absorbed many old thieves, the combat power was not bad, but the thieves had no logistics system and no armor manufacturing, so the appearance of the people and horses was really average.

Everyone looked from a distance, there were not many armor soldiers, the soldiers were all dressed in tatters, and the only unified logo was the yellow scarf on the head.

When the bandits saw that there were not as many people as themselves, and the equipment did not seem to be very good, they did not have the high general's clothes and armor, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

This made everyone feel a little confident, and they looked at the Western Army with contempt.

"There aren't too many people!" Wang Tizhong looked at the western army coming from afar, and they came over in a steady stream, stopping a mile in front of the big array, with less than 20,000 people.

"General, we're going to make a contribution today!" The general said with a smile.

These people didn't know who Li Dingguo was, Gao Yihuan reminded them, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at the Western Army, and saw that in the dense crowd, a large banner stood in the crowd, which was particularly eye-catching.

Gao Yihuan fixed his eyes and saw that under the red da, a mighty general with an iron gun was majestic, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said to the generals around him: "Cheer up." ”

At that moment, the soldiers behind him straightened their backs in unison, and the team looked exceptionally elite and slaughtered.

For this battle, Gao Yihuan preset at least three situations in his heart.

In the first case, Li Dingguo saw that his soldiers and horses were strong, gave up the battle, and retreated south to Wuchang.

In the second scenario, the two armies clashed, and he repelled Li Dingguo, or a draw.

The third situation is that Li Dingguo can't be defeated, and he hastily retreats to Xiangyang.

Of these three situations, Gao Yihuan hopes that the first one will appear the most, the second one, and the third one.

At this time, he asked his subordinates to cheer up and let all the soldiers get on the horse, just to bluff, scare Li Dingguo, and let him retreat.

While Gao Yihuan was waiting in formation, on the other side, the Western sergeants were quickly arranging the formation.

The western army was dominated by the infantry army, with only more than 1,000 cavalry, and the infantry army quickly set up a formation, while Bai Wenxuan rode forward on horseback and came to the front of the formation, holding a pergola to look at Gao Yihuan's formation.

Suddenly, he saw a large number of cavalry in the middle of the large array of the Shun army, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, lest he be mistaken, he looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but secretly say, "So many cavalry? ”

Bai Wenxuan was a little frightened, hurriedly pulled out the reins of his horse, returned to the formation, and said to Li Dingguo: "General, there are 3,000 cavalry in the army."

In recent years, Li Zicheng has developed much better than Zhang Xianzhong, but there are only a few thousand cavalry in the forward, which still surprises Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo rode on a horse, took out a clairvoyant mirror, took out the lens tube, put it in front of his eyes to watch, and scanned the army front.

Among the soldiers and horses were thousands of cavalry, and everyone wore armor, and they were silent, and they were indeed the elite of the Shun army.

On both sides of the cavalry, it was all infantry, and it was okay to be close to the middle, but the more you got to the edge, the more chaotic the men and horses became, and the corners of Li Dingguo's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.

Bai Wenxuan saw Li Dingguo put down the clairvoyant mirror and licked his lips, "General, it seems that it is indeed Li Zicheng's elite soldiers, do we still want to continue fighting?" ”

Li Dingguo put away the clairvoyant mirror and said to a few people: "Naturally, we have to fight, and we must beat the army!"

Bai Wenxuan saw that Li Dingguo had made up his mind, and couldn't help but say: "General, the soldiers and horses are twice as many as ours, and the cavalry is three times as ours, how should this battle be fought?"

Li Dingguo smiled, "Although there are many soldiers and horses, there are not many real elites, only the cavalry in the middle. ”

"Does the general mean to directly impact the front and defeat the cavalry of the invading army, and the invading army will naturally be defeated?" Bai Wenxuan said worriedly: "General, those who can ride horses are elites, they have more than 3,000 horses, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to win."

"Indeed!" Li Dingguo nodded, and then smiled contemptuously: "I don't know who the commander of the Chuang army is, putting such a bad formation, and actually putting the cavalry in the center, instead of the two wings, I have never seen such a stupid person after so many years of fighting."

Gao Yihuan also had no choice, the infantry army was unreliable, and there was no trustworthy person to act as the Chinese army, so he could only be in the center by himself.

Of his 3,000 soldiers, although all of them were on horseback, the cavalry was actually only 200 people, and the rest were cavalry on horseback.

Li Dingguo didn't know this, so when he saw Gao Yihuan's formation, he felt like an idiot.

At this time, Li Dingguo raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the front, "The cavalry in the middle of the invasion army completely restricts the cavalry's ability to maneuver and attack, and can only charge forward." Ben would not have rushed at him, so that even if he won, he would not be able to annihilate this intruder. ”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo suddenly became upright and said loudly: "Breaking into the two wings of the army, although there are many people and horses, they are a rabble. The general ordered that the left and right flanks of the infantry army were ready to press, and the cavalry drivers were outflanked, and the cavalry of the intrusive army was going to be left here. ”

Li Dingguo's plan was to defeat Gao Yihuan's left and right wings first, outflank him, and finally surround Gao Yihuan.

"Hey, general, the army moved first." As soon as Li Dingguo finished giving the order, Bai Wenxuan suddenly pointed to the large formation of the army and spoke.

Gao Yihuan has been watching the movements of the Western army on the opposite side, and when he saw the rapid deployment of the Western army, he knew that he probably couldn't scare Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo didn't want to fight, so there was no need to set up a formation, and after the cavalry was cut off, the infantry retreated south.

Gao Yihuan took advantage of the fact that the bandits did not know that Li Dingguo was powerful and their morale was at their peak, so he preemptively gave the order and ordered the bandits to attack.

Li Dingguo looked up and saw that the people on both wings of the army had begun to attack. They walked slowly at first, carrying broadswords and spears, as if they were strolling leisurely, and then gradually accelerated to run.

The bandits relied on the large number of people, and had the support of Gao Yihuan, one by one, with hideous faces and murderous spirits, rushing forward, more than 20,000 people had no rules, and they rushed up, and the sound of running was like thunder, which was shocking.

Li Dingguo saw this with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he saw the army rushing over, immediately snatched the iron, and shouted: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, the plan remains the same, give Ben the general to kill!" ”

In the Western Army, the battle flag was waved, the horn was blown, and the Western soldiers on both sides suddenly roared angrily and met the Shun army.
