Although Li Zixiao did not have a plan to attack the official army camp at night, it did not mean that he would let these officers and soldiers rest comfortably for one night and recuperate enough to fight a decisive battle with them.
For this reason, at night, Li Zixiao asked Luo Chao, Qi Wei and Han Tong to lead the cavalry respectively and continuously harass the official army camp.
Li Zixiao believes that if the lights are blind at night, the officers and soldiers will not take the initiative to chase them out.
And Luo Chao's way of harassing the official army camp is also different from before.
They would not care about the discovery of the night sentry of the officers and soldiers, and would ride horses to the camp of the officers and soldiers at night.
Then everyone lit a sky-shattering thunder, and regardless of whether they could throw it into the official camp or not, they knew that they had thrown it out, and then immediately retreated.
The huge movement from the earth-shattering thunder explosion almost woke up most of the officers and soldiers in the official battalion, and they thought that they had been attacked by bandits, so they were so frightened that they put on their battle armor and took up their weapons and rushed out.
In the end, they found that it was only a false alarm, but the sudden shock still kept them awake for a long time.
When the officers and soldiers fell asleep again, they were awakened by the sound of explosions outside.
But in the end, it was the enemy's harassment, and the night was almost over, and the officers and soldiers were all angry at the white dragon army's filthy behavior.
In particular, Lin Dafu and other officers and generals on the right side of the official army camp were tossed half to death by the White Dragon Army overnight.
And the officers and troops led by Xu Wei and Qi Lin on the left, except for the first fake attack on the camp by the White Dragon Army in one night, were really scared.
After a few sneak attacks by the White Dragon Army again, the officers and soldiers in the camp almost ignored them, and they fell asleep.
Because Xu Wei and Qi Lin had already guessed that the bandits would definitely come to disturb the camp tonight, not the camp, after the first wave of attacks by the White Dragon Army, the two of them were even more sure of their ideas.
Therefore, after arranging light and dark posts around their camp, the two ordered all officers and soldiers to wear earplugs when they went to bed at night, rest in peace, and ignore the movement outside.
So, after dawn the next day, as the White Dragon Army began to reorganize its armament and make rice, Wu Laiyun on the side of the official army also immediately ordered the officers and troops to gather and prepare for the war.
The officers and soldiers on Xu Wei and Qi Lin's side slept well last night, and of course they were energetic when they got up this morning, and they quickly completed the assembly of the troops.
And the officers and soldiers of the barracks on Lin Dafu's side barely completed the assembly of all the officers and soldiers after half an hour after the assembly order was issued.
The assembled officers and soldiers were all untidy and unkempt, their eyes were not opened, and they stood there leaning on each other, swaying and still confused.
Wu Laiyun looked at Xu Wei's subordinates, the military was neat and energetic, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded, this was the most elite unit under his command.
Wu Laiyun looked at the officers and soldiers on Lin Dafu's side again, and the smile on his face was immediately sold, and he turned to an angry look.
"Lin Dafu, Ben Shuai will give you another stick of incense, if you can't wake up this group of guys, Ben Shuai will withdraw you." Wu Laiyun was really angry.
"Yes."
At this time, Lin Dafu's face was full of bitterness, and he immediately responded with his throat pulled.
It was not until about ten o'clock in the afternoon that the army of officers and soldiers completed their pre-battle preparations.
At this time, the two armies faced each other at the bottom of Wanglong Slope, a few miles apart.
"Listen to the leader of the rebel army on the other side, now disarm and surrender, I, Lord Wu, said that I can forgive your sins, otherwise when I defeat you, none of them will want to live."
An officer and soldier riding on a tall horse came to the front of the White Dragon Army camp and shouted loudly to Li Zixiao in the distance, these rhythms that want to persuade surrender! .
"If you have the ability, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield, maybe your Lord Wu will become our prisoner today!"
Li Zixiao directly refused to surrender, and sneered at the officer outside.
Li Zixiao did have a plan in his heart to temporarily surrender to the imperial court.
But if this plan is to be implemented, the premise must be that they crush the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, and even capture the Lord Wu.
In this way, Li Zixiao can proceed according to their established plan.
At that time, the bargaining point between them and the government will be much smaller, and the White Dragon Army will be able to obtain more benefits at that time.
After the White Dragon Army left the barracks, with the waving of the order flag, the infantry teams immediately advanced forward.
They lined up side by side in front and began to line up, each arranging a standard White Dragon Army infantry formation.
And the soldiers who came with the army were arranged behind the two infantry formations in front of Li Zixiao's guards.
They will not engage in frontal combat, but they will act as a reserve force to ensure that there is nothing to do in the rear.
In this open land, an inverted formation of the word 'product' was immediately formed, blocking the road from Fengyang Mansion to Yongcheng County in the north.
In the inverted 'pin' formation, the front is of course the most heavily protected sword and shield soldiers, followed by three columns of pikemen, and then the two flanks are bird gunners and archers.
As for Luo Chao and Qi Wei's two cavalry teams, they were still guarding the two wings of the two formations and used as mobile forces.
Subsequently, the White Dragon Army also divided a part of its men and began to dig a simple trench in front of the phalanx of the two battalions.
According to Li Zixiao's requirements, the blacksmith shop in the cottage also specializes in shovels, short pickaxes, big saws, axes and machetes specially made for the auxiliary soldiers of the White Dragon Army's Baggage Battalion.
These weapons are all made of fine iron, and after many quenching, the good guys are made, and they are quite easy to use.
Li Zixiao came to the front of the White Dragon Army Formation, and rode his horse back and forth in front of the big formation for a few rounds.
Then, as soon as he pulled the reins, the white horse, which had no hair on its body, immediately let out a long neigh, and its two front legs were freed.
Li Zixiao's riding skills now are no longer what they used to be when he first came to this world.
Such an action really looked majestic, and suddenly made the generals in the army let out a cheer and cheer.
Li Zixiao grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and the cheers gradually subsided.
His eyes were like lightning, he glanced at the generals of the White Dragon Army in front of him, and shouted to them: "Brothers, this world is difficult, and everyone has to leave their homes and be displaced in order to survive.
Now we have finally killed the landlords and old fortunes who were oppressed on our heads in the past, divided their fields, and planted our own fields.
But the government did not agree, and wanted to drive us away from here, and even wanted to completely exterminate us. ”
When all the soldiers of the White Dragon Army heard this, they immediately shouted loudly: "Don't agree, don't agree......"
Li Zixiao clenched his right fist again and raised it high, and continued to shout loudly to his subordinates: "Behind you, there are countless people like you who used to be.
They are looking at us with countless pairs of eyes, silently praying for us in their hearts, sweating for us, and we have no reason to let them down.
Therefore I command you, no matter what enemy lies ahead, we will never retreat.
No matter how ferocious the enemy is, as long as we unite as one and unite as one, then all the enemies will be vulnerable in front of our White Dragon Army.
I am here, among you, I will fight side by side with you to the end, never take half a step back, we must let the government know that our White Dragon Army is invincible! ”
All the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, after listening to Li Zixiao's very demagogic agitation in front of the battle, the generals all raised their arms and roared: "The White Dragon Army will win!" Win! ”
The heads of countless spears shimmered with cold light, shining in the sunlight as if they were a jungle of steel.
Then Li Zixiao turned around on his horse, lifted one of his big guns from the saddle, raised it high, and fought hard in the direction of the approaching officers and soldiers.
The tip of the spear flashing with cold light pointed straight to the east, and Li Zixiao roared loudly: "I am invincible, kill!" ”
"Kill! Kill ......"
The large array in the army once again resounded with a shout, like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire Wanglong Slope.
Not long after that, in the south, a large black flag jumped up, and in a short time, a group of officers and cavalry slowly rose from the horizon and advanced in rows.
The atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly became solemn, Li Zixiao carried a spear, immediately stood in front of the battle, and also looked towards the opposite side.
These officers and cavalry who rushed to the battlefield were not yet armoured, and when they arrived at the battlefield in groups, they also grabbed the reins of their horses hundreds of paces away.
The formation of this officer cavalry, although it is not particularly neat, is also presentable, revealing an awe-inspiring murderous aura.
There are thousands of cavalry in this official army, but compared with the three hundred elite cavalry under Ma Feng yesterday, it still feels like a big difference.
As the flag of the officers and soldiers waved, the cavalry of these officers and soldiers who went to the battlefield jumped off their horses one by one.
Then, quickly, hang the bag under the horse's head, and let their horses rest for a while before the battle, and at the same time eat some concentrate to replenish their physical strength.
And these officers and soldiers also reveal a kind of arrogance that belongs to the official cavalry, as if they did not take the generals of the White Dragon Army in their eyes at all.
This battle is also deeply stressful for Li Zixiao.
After all, in front of him was a force of more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, and this officer cavalry was not exactly as vulnerable as they looked from a distance.
But he also has no way to retreat this time, Yongcheng County must be defended, which is the foundation for his future rise and hegemony in the world.
Once defeated, it is estimated that Li Zixiao will no longer have a chance to compete for the world, and even he and his generals will have to worry about their lives.
In the face of the absolute mobility advantage of the opponent who has many more cavalry than them, once defeated, it will be the end of the total annihilation.
You must know that for the White Dragon Army, which is dominated by the infantry under his command, there is no chance to escape from the battlefield at all, and it will only become the target of slaughter by these officers and cavalry.
Although Li Zixiao had known about these for a long time, he still resolutely chose to come to meet them.
Because he is still full of confidence in the army he has built.
Although the officers and troops on the other side have much more troops than them, there have been more classic examples of courage since ancient times when China won more with less.
These officers and soldiers may not be able to please them in front of their White Dragon Army.
But when the real enemy appeared in front of him, the black pressed a large area, a team of nearly 10,000 people, and the number of people alone was enough to shock people's hearts.
Whether it was Li Zixiao or the generals under his command, they still felt a strong pressure rushing towards their faces, and they couldn't help but feel suffocated.
Everyone's faces became solemn, after all, the White Dragon Army had really never faced an enemy of nearly 10,000 people before.
Although the 8,000 officers and soldiers standing opposite at this time were already nearly three times their strength, his complexion still did not change.
Li Zixiao slowly flicked his horse's head, facing his soldiers, but showed a smile, and suddenly laughed loudly: "What? Are you scared?
Just now you were all shouting, but now that the enemy is coming, are you all cowardly? Remember Lao Tzu's words, as long as we cooperate tacitly and unite as one, in front of us, any army can only be defeated. ”
Hearing Li Zixiao's words that were almost ridiculous, the generals of the White Dragon Army suddenly felt relieved again.
After all, since the White Dragon Army came in, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, the White Dragon Army had never been defeated.
In this way, the feeling of depression that had just been born in the White Dragon Army was suddenly swept away in the military formation, and the generals suddenly changed their relaxed expressions one by one.
And the officers and generals led by Wu Laiyun, who were standing opposite them, after arriving at the battlefield, were resting their horsepower while also looking at the White Dragon Army opposite.
For them, the White Dragon Army in front of them also gave them a great sense of shock.
Wu Laiyun has been an official for more than ten years, and in these years, he has not seen any kind of bandits.
But today, when they saw the White Dragon Army that appeared on the opposite side, they were all a little surprised.
At this time, Wu Laiyun really believed that what Qi Lin said to them before was not false at all.
Because he never imagined that a troop formation composed of bandits would be so neat.
Although their numbers were small, excluding some of the soldiers who had been killed and wounded yesterday, and the auxiliaries who did not intend to participate in the battle, the front soldiers alone were 2,000 men.
From their point of view, the large array of the White Dragon Army on the opposite side was lined up in rows, with spears like forests and shields like walls, and there was no trace of chaos in sight.
All kinds of military flags fluttered in the wind in the military formation, making the sound of hunting, and the whole military formation was silent.
From the eyes of these officers and soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, it can be seen at a glance that this is an extremely well-trained soldier and horse, and it is by no means comparable to those ordinary mountain bandits that they have encountered before.
Wu Laiyun straddled the horse's back, looking at the large array of the White Dragon Army in front of him from a distance, and the expression on his face became serious.
He really didn't expect this chaotic army to be so clean, and the whole army exuded an aura that made him familiar.
This kind of aura is an indescribable murderous aura, the kind of murderous aura that can only be felt in the body of a master who has experienced a hundred battles and won for a long time.
This made him feel very surprised in his heart, so he had to put away the contempt in his heart and began to pay attention to the chaotic army in front of him.
At the same time, Wu Laiyun secretly complained in his heart that Yin Tianxing, the prefect of Kaifeng, sent the information that was not accurate at all.
Not to mention, the number of this gang of rebels has doubled for no reason.
This momentum alone is by no means what Yin Tianxing said in his letter, it is only a little bit more powerful than the ordinary rebel army.
Not to mention, the White Dragon Army's sophisticated weapons and equipment, even have eight artillery pieces, more than the official army.
"Lao Yin, you really cheated me!"
Wu Laiyun shouted in his heart, but he still couldn't show it on his face.
