People are very blind sometimes. At the beginning, the miscellaneous soldiers under Li Li were still jealous in their hearts.

However, when they charged, seeing that there were only a thousand soldiers in front of the formation, they suddenly felt emboldened, and they shouted and charged forward.

Gao Shun watched coldly, and he visually measured the distance between the two armies. After Li Lijun entered the range of the archers, he immediately shouted: "Archers, release the arrows!" ”

"Chirp!"

The arrows fired by the eight hundred archers fell into the dense Li Li army. Now in front of the formation, it is already crowded with Li Lijun, and those archers who are trapped in the camp only need to bend their bows and shoot arrows, and they don't need to aim at all.

That's how the camp is trapped. Strike the enemy with ranged units first, then form a formation with iron shields and pikemen.

The simple and crude tactics, combined with the powerful trapping camp, have become a very difficult bone to gnaw.

Eight hundred arrows fell into the enemy's line with the sound of breaking through the air, and almost no one missed. Not because every soldier in the trapping camp is a marksman, but because Li Lijun is too much.

They were crammed into the narrow roads and became completely live targets. As long as the soldiers in the camp shoot arrows forward, they will basically hit one person.

The soldiers who charged under Li Li were all those ragtag troops without a piece of armor, and in the face of the blows of bows and arrows, these people naturally fell one by one.

For the miscellaneous army, when fighting a good fight, it is like a rainbow of morale. However, if you encounter the slightest setback, you will scatter and flee.

These people were originally very complicated in their hearts, and they joined the battlefield with a fluke mentality. The reason why they charged forward was not because of Li Li's persecution.

Now, two rounds of arrows rained down, and the 6,000 miscellaneous army suffered more than 1,000 casualties. Of the more than 1,000 people, the vast majority suffered only minor injuries. But this kind of thing is an extremely serious blow to their morale.

There was a bandit leader with an arrow in the shoulder, looking at the archers in the camp in the distance, bending his bow and arrows again, he immediately felt a pang in his heart, and secretly thought: "I have no armor, but I am charging ahead, and those elite troops of the Xiliang Army are staying behind." ”

Thinking of this, looking at the arrows shot in the distance, the bandit leader suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted: "The enemy archers are so powerful, if we rush to the front, I'm afraid we will already have most of the casualties." ”

"We really came to vote for Li Li's house, but we didn't want him to send us as cannon fodder. In that case, why are we still working for them? ”

The words of the bandit leader resounded like a thunderbolt in the middle of the battlefield. Many motley soldiers with frightened faces suddenly began to flicker in their eyes.

Yes, in the past, these people were either bandits and rogues in the vicinity, or ordinary people who were forcibly recruited into the army. In their hearts, they just want to survive in the troubled times, and they don't have the slightest loyalty to Li Li at all.

"Damn it!"

Li Li also heard the shouts of the bandit leader, he picked up a bow and arrow, and shot the bandit leader directly.

Although the bandit leader is unbearable, he also has more than a hundred cronies.

When they saw that the bandit leader was shot to death by Li Li, their eyes immediately turned red, and they shouted loudly: "Li Li, since you don't put our lives in our hearts, why don't I surrender to the camp and kill Li Li for a reward?" ”

The shouts of these people immediately set off an uproar on the battlefield. Gao Shun and Li Li did not expect that the battle situation would undergo such dramatic changes.

Gao Shun captured this fighter and immediately shouted: "The archer abandons the bow and changes to the spear!" ”

"I have been ordered by the Son of Heaven to levy against the traitor Li Li. If you can fight back, I will ask the Son of Heaven to forgive you for your sins. ”

"Not only that, but if you want to join the army in the future, I can also conscript you into the army; If you do not want to join the army, I will also ask the Son of Heaven to distribute you with land and food, so that you can live a stable life again. ”

"Even if you die in battle, your families will be given land and restored to good people."

"You have been good people in the past, are you willing to carry the identity of a thief for the rest of your life?"

Gao Shun's words suddenly plunged those miscellaneous troops into a commotion again, and many people stopped their charges.

A strong man who was forcibly enlisted in the army immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "What the general said is true? ”

Gao Shun was even happier in his heart, pulled out the matching sword in his waist, pointed to the sky, and shouted: "If there is a fake, the sky will thunder!" ”

In this day and age, oaths are still very important. When the strong man heard Gao Shun's oath, he immediately stopped doubting.

He waved the wooden spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Li Li's guy is a thief, forcibly pulling us into the army, and he doesn't care about our lives. In that case, why should we die for him? ”

"What's more, if it weren't for the repeated robbing of the Li thief, how would we have become homeless and homeless?"

"Brothers, why don't you go back with me and kill Thief Li, so that you can sacrifice his head to the court general!"

After speaking, he practiced and rushed back first. The cronies of the bandit leader who were shot to death by Li Li also followed behind the strong man.

Things developed like this, and many soldiers immediately shouted: "Who wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives? Since the imperial court has sent and come, we naturally have to follow the heavenly soldiers to fight back against the thieves! ”

The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse, and even some bandit leaders who were unwilling to rebel against Li Li also felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Because they know that now that so many people are in battle against the water, coupled with the elite of the camp, even if Li Li still has 3,000 elite Xiliang Army in his hands, the defeat is certain.

Since this is the case, they are naturally reluctant to accompany Li Li to the funeral. In the final analysis, these people came to serve under Li Li for the sake of profit. For this so-called lord, there is no loyalty at all.

"Kill!"

The thousands of miscellaneous troops who were originally demoralized suddenly mustered up their courage and turned back to kill the three thousand Xiliang troops beside Li Li.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"

Seeing this, Li Li was immediately furious, and he shouted: "The whole army attack, kill these rebels for me!" ”

A general beside Li Li hurriedly admonished: "These people are on the verge of fighting against the water, and the battle situation is not favorable to me, so please ask the lord to collect the troops and avoid the edge for the time being." ”

"A rabble, also dare to rebel? If I don't kill them all, I won't be able to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Li directly shouted loudly: "The whole army charges, kill the rebels." ”

The boss took the lead in killing the past, and the remaining Xiliang troops naturally did not dare to slack off, and rushed forward after Li Li.

The remaining 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers were still imposing. But when they saw the three thousand Xiliang elite soldiers charging over, they suddenly lost their courage and were a little afraid.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers actually began to rout.

Gao Shun saw the situation on the battlefield, and his brows furrowed tightly: "The rabble, it's really vulnerable!" ”

Although the soldiers and horses under Li Li's command defected to the battle, it was somewhat unexpected. Gao Shun had no hope at all that he would be able to defeat the Xiliang Army with these people.

"We must take advantage of the chaos of the Xiliang Army's formation to lead the army to attack!"

Although the motley army that defected to the battlefield was low in combat effectiveness, it also made the formation of the Xiliang army chaotic.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun shouted: "The heavy cavalry is charging ahead, and the rest of the soldiers in the trapped camp will change to long knives and attack with me!" ”

"Boom!"

As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and five hundred heavily armored cavalrymen wearing heavy armor and holding spears appeared in everyone's field of vision.

These 500 heavily armed cavalry were not only heavily armored by knights, but also war horses.

The appearance of the heavy cavalry was a team formed by Chen Xu by borrowing from the Tiefutu cavalry of the Jurchens in later generations. It's just that this cavalry didn't use iron chains to connect the war horses together.

Although the hoplites were powerful, they were very poor in terms of their ability to fight for a long time and their mobility. As long as someone can target the weakness of the heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry will lose its effect.

What's more, the cost of heavy cavalry was extremely expensive. Whether it is the iron armor on the war horse, or the three war horses and auxiliary soldiers that need to be configured for each heavy armored cavalry, it is a huge expense.

However, the hoplites charged head-on on the battlefield, but like the tanks of later generations, they were rampage, and no one could stop them.

"Boom!"

Although there were not many heavy cavalry of five hundred, they seemed to shake the whole earth as they ran, and the momentum was particularly terrifying.

Gao Shun let the injured Yang Feng still stand on the high ground and command. However, he rode war horses with Gong Du, led the remaining 1,000 soldiers of the trapped camp, followed behind the 500 heavily armored cavalry, and charged forward.

The 3,000 Xiliang elites under Li Li's command, as well as the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers who defected to the battle, all saw the heavy cavalry charging up, and they were immediately shocked.

Seeing that the hoplites were about to rush into the formation, the miscellaneous soldiers who rebelled were still stunned.

Seeing this, Gao Shun hurriedly shouted at his throat: "Wait for the pawns to quickly dodge, and the three thousand Xiliang soldiers will be handed over to me, you just need to wave your flag and shout on the side!" ”

Hearing Gao Shun's words, those soldiers who stood on the spot reacted back and ran to the side desperately.

There were many soldiers who were slow to react, and they were directly knocked to the ground by them, trampled to death.

"Kill!"

Five hundred heavily armed hoplites shouted violently, murderous. Even the three thousand elite Xiliang troops under Li Li were a little timid in their hearts.

Seeing this, Li Li hurriedly shouted: "There are few thieves, don't be afraid of them." Pikemen, array! ”

Li Li has been following Li Dao for a long time and has a lot of combat experience. He knew that pikemen were the best choice against cavalry.

Hearing this, those Xiliang soldiers with spears quickly set up a formation and began to form a spear formation.

However, the Xiliang army was scattered by the miscellaneous soldiers who rebelled, and for a while there was no way to arrange it in a tight formation.
