9 Swift as the wind, Xu as a forest, aggression as fire, immovable as a mountain

(Hehe, add a more chapter tonight, thank you for your support, that will try to squeeze out more time code words every day, and I hope you book friends support subscriptions, it's better to get a monthly pass and reward, after all, code words are very hard, thank you~)

Ma Feng drove over and nervously asked Qi Lin: "General, what you said is true, what should we do next?" ”

Qi Lin looked at the White Dragon Army on the opposite side, and his eyes gradually showed a worried look.

The gap between the ideal and the reality is too big, and he originally planned to teach the White Dragon Army a lesson before the main force of the official army led by Wu Laiyun arrived.

Even if you can't defeat him, you have to bite him hard and beat the momentum of their officers and soldiers.

Let Wu Laiyun see the power of himself and his two thousand elite officers and soldiers, and increase the weight in Wu Laiyun's heart.

But when he saw the white-haired army at this time, he found that things were not as simple as he thought, and the white dragon army in front of him gave him a feeling of extreme danger.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Lin also knew that at this time, even if he was afraid, he had no intention of retreating.

After all, the temptation of promotion made him determined to test this white dragon army.

Thinking of this, he immediately strengthened his thoughts, so he said to his subordinates: "Generals, don't be careless, this group of rebels is obviously different from the rebel armies we have encountered before. ”

Qi Lin continued: "According to General Ben's expectations, among the leaders of the chaotic army on this road, there may have been officials and soldiers in the past.

Otherwise, with just a group of reckless bandits, it is impossible to say anything to train a group of mud-legged people to this extent.

And this gang of rebels doesn't know what magical powers they have, they actually got so many weapons and armor, and even a lot of birds, cavalry and artillery, it's really a hell of a life.

But despite this, the general still feels that he will attack to test the true combat power of this chaotic army, and he does not seek to defeat this group of white dragon troops, but we can't be afraid of them.

The generals also know that Lord Wu is coming right behind us, and Lord Wu has sent us to be the pioneers, but we have high hopes.

We will never fall into the name of our officers and soldiers, so this battle is very important, and you must work together with me.

But I also said ugly things about the front, if anyone dares to disobey military orders, do not advance in fear of war, or retreat without authorization, do not blame me for remembering the old feelings, but military law is ruthless. Did you hear me clearly? ”

After the generals heard Qi Lin's murderous words, they all felt a pang in their hearts, and they knew that what Qi Lin said today was going to be serious.

Although he is only a guerrilla, he has the highest official position among this team.

In addition, most of these generals were his old subordinates for many years, and although they had some objections to Qi Lin's order, they still accepted it honestly.

In fact, at this time in Qi Lin's heart, the safest way for him was to retreat and set up camp, and wait for the main force of the official army led by Wu Laiyun to come and join them.

At that time, after the more than 10,000 armies have completely converged, it will be the best time to exterminate the White Dragon Army.

However, Qi Lin was worried that even if he didn't make a move at this time and took the initiative to retreat and avoid, it would not necessarily mean that the White Dragon Army would be indifferent.

These leaders of the White Dragon Army are probably not good at stubble, and of course people can see that their kind of team at this time is just the vanguard of the official army.

That family can also make you comfortably retreat and set up a camp, and then, honestly, wait for more officers and soldiers to arrive, and then start a siege on them.

Unless the leader of the White Dragon Army is a fool, so at this time, Qi Lin can't retreat.

If he took the initiative to retreat and was forced up by the White Dragon Army, he would have to fight, but he would have to frustrate the spirit of his own soldiers in vain.

If the White Dragon Army presses at that time, they continue to retreat, and if they don't do well, they will be easily dispersed by someone who launches a charge, and there are not many troops who can 'withdraw but not mess' in this era.

Those who can do this are all strong and elite, but Qi Lin knows that although the two thousand officers and soldiers under him are brave, they are only compared to other officers and soldiers of the guard.

There is still 108,000 miles away from being able to achieve this level of 'withdrawal without chaos' of a strong army!

So at this time, the two armies were already facing each other, not because he had to fight, but because he couldn't retreat.

This withdrawal, no matter what the final result is, he will probably leave a bad review on Wu Laiyun's side.

On the contrary, if he attacked, he could still show his bravery, he didn't believe that the two thousand men and horses under his command could be defeated by the White Dragon Army on the opposite side within half a day!

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Lin analyzed that attacking was far more beneficial than retreating, which could bring him greater benefits, and decisively chose to face the White Dragon Army head-on.

All the generals hurriedly clasped their fists and responded: "Please rest assured that the general will act according to his orders!" ”

"Excellent! Then I command......"

Qi Lin saw the statements of his men one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and was waiting to be instructed to go down and arrange his battle plan.

Suddenly, he heard his own soldiers shouting at him: "The general is not good, the rebel army on the opposite side has moved!" ”

Sure enough, when Qi Lin looked up at the opposite side, he found that the rebel army on the opposite side seemed to be unable to wait for them to kill them, but instead took the first step and approached them in formation.

"Quickly, the generals will immediately return to the headquarters, Ma Feng, you will lead the cavalry to the right to respond, move quickly, and the rest of the infantry will immediately line up to meet the enemy. The sword and shield bearers were in front, and the archers were in the rear. ”

After Qi Lin saw that the White Dragon Army acted first, he didn't care about his combat deployment, and hurriedly ordered, and the officers and soldiers were suddenly busy.

In fact, when Qi Lin's official army appeared before, Li Zixiao ordered the generals who were resting in place to immediately get up and prepare for battle.

At the same time, when the officers and soldiers stopped and looked at the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao and his generals were also looking at the officers and troops in front of them.

The strength of this officer army was basically the same as the intelligence said, numbering about 2,000 men, including a battalion of about 300 cavalry.

The Ming army was relatively short of horses, and the imperial court had to supply the limited horses to the border army in Liaodong first.

In the border army, the proportion of cavalry will be relatively higher than the proportion of the guard army in the interior, at this time, the famous "Guanning Iron Cavalry" known as the "first strongest army of the Ming Dynasty" is all cavalry.

And the officer army in front of him obviously does not belong to the category of border armies, at best, it is the system of the guard army, and belongs to the category of local armies

Although the two armies were less than two miles apart at this time, they were already at the limit of their vision.

Fortunately, Li Zixiao's eyes were quite well protected when he went to school, there was no myopia, his eyesight was quite good, and he could basically see the general equipment of the other party.

From the point of view of armor, the core of this enemy army is about 1,500 soldiers in the official army, and among these soldiers, there are only about 30% of the soldiers in armor, which is already a very high proportion.

And most of them are leather armor or cotton armor, the number of iron armor equipment is very small, and most of the rest of the people are only wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets, and their defense ability is hehe.

In terms of weapons, the enemy army on the opposite side is much more mixed, and there are basically everything in the cold weapons: spears, long knives, boring palladium, rattan cards, and infantry bows.

Unlike Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army, there are single and large number of weapons, basically shields, long knives, three-edged spears, bows and arrows, and bird guns, and other messy weapons Li Zixiao is not equipped.

In terms of firearms, there are people behind the officers and soldiers carrying four tiger squat cannons, and the number of bird guns is not much, but more of the three-eyed guns that the Ming army likes to use.

Li Zixiao has always attached the most importance to the enemy's firearms, after all, the long-range lethality of firearms is the biggest threat to him.

In this way, Li Zixiao is much more relieved, after all, in terms of firearms, his advantage is only concentrated in the number of bird guns.

In terms of artillery, the White Dragon Army was not able to cast its own at this time, and only had three Furlong machine guns and five tiger squat cannons captured from the official army and the landlord Lao Cai.

As for some old and bulky old cannons captured by the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao decisively did not bring them, and stayed in White Snake Village and Zhouzhuang for imperial guards.

So it seems that compared with the firepower of both sides with the vanguard of this official army, the White Dragon Army has taken a big advantage.

After looking at it all, he was still relieved, and the strength of the vanguard of the officer army in front of him was still quite good.

But if you face the White Dragon Army at this time, in Li Zixiao's opinion, this official army is still not enough.

What makes Li Zixiao feel even more ridiculous is that after the appearance of this vanguard of the official army, he has been there for some reason.

After arriving here, they did not immediately discharge the battle queue, but were still in the marching array, huddled together grinding and grinding, not knowing what they were doing.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Zixiao still figured out the reason why the other party behaved like this.

The first party may have been frightened by the mighty military formation of his White Dragon Army, and he was hesitating what to do at this moment.

The second is that the enemy army did not consider the possibility that the White Dragon Army would take the initiative to attack, after all, the White Dragon Army arrived here first, and it was also in a phalanx formation, which looked a little like it was going to wait for work and defend the battle.

And the enemy generals may be thinking about whether they will take the initiative to attack, so after the two sides meet, they face each other for two minutes.

However, in the end, it was Li Zixiao's side who reacted first, and Li Zixiao found that this was a rare opportunity.

If you can eat or defeat this kind of official and military vanguard before the arrival of the large army of the official army, then it will inevitably be a heavy blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers, and it will also improve the morale of your subordinates, killing two birds with one stone.

So, Li Zixiao chose to do it very decisively.

Li Zixiao immediately ordered the trumpeters: "Blow the marching horn, the whole army will keep the formation unchanged, press the enemy, they are not willing to make the first move, then let's kill it." ”

As a fast-paced horn sounded, the order flag that followed Li Zixiao in the center was also waved immediately, giving the order to the whole army to advance.

So the officers of the infantry army in the main formation of the White Dragon Army immediately shouted the order, and all the generals were ready to march forward after hearing the order.

The soldiers and generals of the entire phalanx took steps at the same time, and under the command of the officers and soldiers, they collectively advanced towards the front.

Although this kind of phalanx put out by the White Dragon Army is more conducive to defense, this kind of rectangular phalanx is not only conducive to defense, but also has a certain ability to maneuver.

The whole army is lined up in a neat phalanx, and under the command of the officers, it can move as a whole, and it can ensure that the formation is not chaotic during the march, and it can be switched to local defense at any time.

And if you want to do this, it is basically difficult for the vast majority of the troops in China to accomplish it.

Whether it is the righteous army of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, or the real elite of the imperial army, Lu Xiangsheng's 'Tianxiong Army', Hong Chengchou's 'Hong Army', and Sun Chuanting's 'Qin Army' are impossible to do.

During this period, the armament of the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was gradually abolished, and even the most elite officers and soldiers of the imperial court now maintained a maximum of ten days and half a month before they would practice.

There is no way, those who are soldiers can't even fill their stomachs every day, how can they drill others, like the White Dragon Army, there is no official army that has to drill every day.

Compared with the high-intensity training of the White Dragon Army, the food eaten every day is also massive, and fortunately, Li Zixiao has enough food in his hands at this time.

Not only did he feed his soldiers every day, but they also had meat to eat every day, so that these originally thin and weak soldiers became strong and strong one by one after two months of recuperation.

It's a pity that at this time, the dignified Chongzhen court controlled tens of millions of square meters of land and had a population of hundreds of millions, but it only collected four million taels of silver in taxes every year.

It's funny to hear it, what can you do with four million taels of silver? How can this little silver feed the millions of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and how to feed the officers and soldiers.

It's a pity that at this time, Daming was already terminally ill and lacked the skills to return to heaven.

Li Zixiao has long had no hope of saving Daming, if he can be born decades earlier, maybe he will try to save Daming.

But at this time, Li Zixiao had no such plan, instead of working hard to save the decaying tree of Daming, it was better to plant a seedling next to him.

Absorb the sustenance of the big tree of the Ming Dynasty, re-breed a new China, and reshuffle the land of China.

War represents death, but it also breeds life.

The China of this period is destined to be accompanied by bloody killings, so it is simply more thorough.

Li Zixiao wants to pass this reshuffle, so that Huaxia, a giant, will be thrown off all over the body, and travel lightly, there is a bigger world waiting for Huaxia outside!

The difference between the White Dragon Army and the official army is that most of the White Dragon Army also conducts training in team cooperation.

Therefore, if you talk about individual combat, maybe the White Dragon Army is still weaker than some elite court officers and soldiers at this time.

But if it is about this kind of teamwork and collective cooperation, Li Zixiao dares to admit the second, and no one dares to say the first.

Those officers and soldiers usually let the soldiers at most carry out some individual skill drills, and in wartime, if they want to maintain a collective and neat action like the White Dragon Army, they can't do it at all.

Li Zixiao didn't plan to follow the old path of official and military training in the imperial court, because it was stronger than individual combat, which had higher requirements for personal bravery and required a lot of time to train.

Li Zixiao pays more attention to the development of the overall combat effectiveness, and more importantly, this can make up for the weaknesses of their White Dragon Army soldiers in individual combat.

When Li Zixiao trained recruits, what he spent the most time on was the collective queue drill.

It is precisely through such rigorous queue training that the White Dragon Army can now achieve collective and unified action, while keeping the array from scattering.

Therefore, when the White Dragon Army Formation moved forward, it was panning forward as a whole, but the formation always maintained the neatness of a tofu block.

'Swift as the wind, Xu as a forest, aggression as fire, immovable as a mountain', this is Li Zixiao's requirements for the training of his troops.

Now it seems that Li Zixiao and his men have done it. 、
