97 What a bunch of poles is this? He's teasing me!

(Today's chapter is presented, thank you for the monthly pass of the starting point book friend 'Treading Cloud Lion', the starting point is not very often there, I saw it, thank you for your support!) ）

You know, at this time, Qi Lin only had a team of 300 cavalry like him, and as for the artillery, there were four old tiger squat cannons.

At that time, the main force of the official army led by Wu Laiyun in the back also had a cavalry of 1,000 people and seven or eight artillery pieces.

But who are they, they are the official army, the weapons and equipment are all provided by the government, what are these chaotic troops, where did they get these things?

Ma Feng looked at this, his face became gloomy, the strength of the enemy was not good news for them.

Then, Ma Feng continued to observe that although this rebel army also had auxiliary troops.

However, the auxiliaries accounted for only 20% of the army, and the rest were elite soldiers.

In this way, the number of soldiers on the other side has almost reached nearly 3,000 people, and this is really the first time I have seen such a chaotic army.

In this way, although Qi Lin had more than 2,000 horses, excluding the auxiliaries, there were only 1,500 soldiers.

In the face of such a strong White Dragon Army at this time, Ma Feng suddenly cast a shadow on his heart, and in his heart, he cursed the guy who provided information about the White Dragon Army.

At this time, Ma Feng's subordinates also saw the situation of the chaotic army on the other side clearly, and they all gasped, and they couldn't help but dare to move forward again, let alone kill it.

Ma Feng suddenly felt that he was leading his troops like this, rushing to the front of the White Dragon Army, and he seemed a little impulsive.

Even in the morning, when the army held a meeting in Qilin, several colleagues proposed to camp on the spot and make a decision after ascertaining the enemy's situation.

He was also very disdainful, thinking that these guys were too cowardly and afraid, but with only two thousand rebels, in his opinion, with their two thousand men and horses, it was enough to deal with them.

But after he saw the appearance of this chaotic army clearly, it was like being splashed with a basin of cold water on his head, and his whole body was cool and cold.

"Brother Feng, what should we do now? Do you want to test this gang of rebels first? ”

At this time, a younger officer came to Ma Feng's side and whispered to Ma Feng.

"Temptation, are you blind? Can't you see what's going on with the other party? This gang of rebels doesn't seem to be good at stubble.

We only have a mere 300 cavalry, and most of the opponents are spears, so if we crash into them, won't we be sent to death? And there are so many birds and archers on the other side.

There are even artillery and cavalry behind us, and if we really rush up and don't know how to die, it's really stupid.

Forget it, we've got the information we need, so don't stay here, keep staying here, it always makes me feel cold on my back.

Let's go back and report to my brother-in-law as soon as possible, and let him decide, but with our troops, we can't bite this chaotic army at all.

I really don't know why such an extraordinary pole suddenly appeared in Yongcheng County, let's withdraw! ”

Ma Feng angrily scolded this subordinate with extremely bad eyes, and then ordered as soon as he pulled the horse.

Ma Feng led three hundred officers and cavalry, and only stood for a moment in front of the White Dragon Army's formation.

Then, without saying a word, all the three hundred cavalry followed Ma Feng, turned the horse's head, and without looking back, they ran back to the road they came.

Li Zixiao also saw all this in the army, and saw this group of officers and cavalry from a distance, rushing towards them all the way, and then stopped the war horse in front of them.

Seeing that this group of officers and cavalry turned around and left after looking at it, Li Zixiao knew that the military appearance of the White Dragon Army still frightened this group of officers and cavalry.

Seeing that this group of officers and cavalry rushed back again, Li Zixiao did not send Luo Chao and Qi Wei's cavalry team to pursue, after all, the two sides are separated by a mile, and it is still difficult to catch up with others.

Li Zixiao saw the retreating cavalry of the official army, and smiled at his subordinates: "Seeing that the group of officers and soldiers are also frightened by our military appearance, the big guy rests on the spot, let's wait here for the officers and soldiers to come over, just see if this officer and army vanguard officer has the courage." ”

"All of them, rest in place."

After Li Zixiao's military order was issued, the officers' orders sounded in the army.

After hearing the order, all the White Dragon soldiers immediately sat on the ground.

The enemies haven't appeared yet, and standing like this will only consume their stamina, so they need to accumulate as much stamina as possible at this time.

Qi Lin was leading his team to march slowly forward, when he saw a group of cavalry galloping from the official road, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that his subordinate Ma Feng had led his troops back.

So he ordered to stop advancing, ordered his men to rest in place, and ordered Ma Feng to come and meet him.

Ma Feng rode his horse and galloped in front of Qi Lin, turned over and rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt in front of Qi Lin on one leg, and said loudly: "See the guerrilla lord for humble duties." ”

Even if Qi Lin is his brother-in-law, but there is no father and son in the army, there is no difference between respect and inferiority, and he can only salute respectfully.

Qi Lin rode on the horse, waved his whip casually and said, "Ma Qian has worked hard, can you find out the news of the chaotic army?" ”

"General Qiyu, I am fortunate to be dishonored, I have already met the main force of the chaotic army, and the chaotic army is now five miles away in front, and it has already lined up in battle, as if waiting for us to go over.

However, according to what I have seen, I am afraid that this time this time the rebel army is not good, and the strength of the rebel army is not only one or two thousand people like we have received information.

But there are at least 4,000 men and horses, and according to my observation, there are at least 3,000 soldiers among them, and all of them are elite soldiers, and the military appearance is very high.

This group of white dragon bandits is by no means what we have encountered before, those ordinary poles can be compared, they were careless before, and they underestimated this gang of chaotic troops.

Since the other party dares to take the initiative to come out to fight us, it is obvious that he wants to stop our army outside Yongcheng County, and put on a posture to fight us to the death here.

What should we do next, please let the adults decide! Ma Feng did not exaggerate, and said to Qi Lin what he had observed.

After listening to Ma Feng's words, Qi Lin couldn't help but think about it, obviously the actual military situation was not the same as the situation they had mastered.

Qi Lin pondered in his heart, even if there were four thousand bandits, there were indeed a lot of them.

However, he was also skeptical about what Ma Feng said that the other party was an elite soldier.

He has been in contact with both large and small poles over the years, and he has not seen the quality of the poles.

Take a group of 4,000 thieves as an example, more than two or three percent of them can be considered good bandits who really have some combat power, and most of the rest are mud legs who are coerced.

Even if the situation of this White Dragon Bandit is slightly better, there can be at most one or two thousand people among the four thousand people, which is considered good, which is similar to the intelligence that the White Dragon Bandit has one or two thousand.

As for Ma Feng's statement that the opponent's soldiers are estimated to have more than 3,000 people, it is obviously unreasonable.

However, for the number of enemy troops, Ma Feng should still not make a false report, 4,000 bandits, against the 2,000 elite officers and soldiers under his command, it is obvious that the other party still has a numerical advantage.

But after all, he was an elite army of 2,000 people, and Qi Lin didn't think that he would be weak to the other party, so he had no fear.

Moreover, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, and it is not easy to set up ambushes, but the rebel army is here to set up an array and block his way, so he at least does not have to be afraid of being ambushed by the rebel army.

If he can lead his troops to defeat this rebellious army here, then it will be much smoother to enter the Yongcheng territory to sweep the rebellious army again.

It is much easier to fight these rebels in the field than for these rebels to retreat in the cottage and defend the cottage and attack it.

If this white dragon bandit really cowered in Mangdang Mountain, relying on the mountains and forests north of Yongcheng, this battle might not be easy to fight.

So after thinking about it for a while, Qi Lin made up his mind to go and meet this chaotic army.

After all, now with Ma Feng's words alone, he is holding back, not to mention whether it will fall into his prestige.

At least when it reaches Wu Laiyun's ears behind, I'm afraid he will despise him, he doesn't want to lose the thick leg he just held.

So he immediately ordered: "Wang Qian, let's go down first, and go with General Ben to meet this chaotic army."

I want to see what kind of ambition leopard guts this chaotic army has eaten, and it is so arrogant that it dares to come and take the initiative to meet us.

In addition, we will report the latest situation here to Lord Wu in the rear, and see when the main force led by Lord Wu will be able to arrive. ”

"Yes."

Ma Feng also immediately retreated and returned to his own headquarters, and under Qi Lin's urging, the official army finally sped up and rushed towards the location of the White Dragon Army.

Thundered......

A cloud of smoke and dust rose from the official road, and the two thousand official army vanguard led by Qi Lin soon came to the location where the White Dragon Army stayed.

"Spot the enemy, stand up!" The herald in the White Dragon Army roared sharply.

Immediately, the white dragon generals who were sitting on the ground made an uproar, stood up in unison, and quickly entered the battle state.

The sword and shield soldiers stood at the front of the queue with their shields raised, and rows of spears were erected like waves, finally forming a neat and dense forest of guns.

The musketeers and archers also stood up, and the bird-bearers carried the bird-knives on their shoulders, and the archers drew arrows from their quivers behind their backs and placed them on their bows.

The whole phalanx is like a knife cut, neat and uniform, giving people a momentum like an abyss and a sea.

Donkey......

Qi Lin reined in the reins of his horse more than a mile away from the White Dragon Army's military formation, and when he saw the White Dragon Army in front of him in an orderly and silent manner, his face suddenly became very ugly.

It wasn't until he saw the White Dragon Army with his own eyes that he realized that Ma Feng hadn't exaggerated him just now.

The appearance of the chaotic army in front of him was indeed greatly beyond his expectations.

Just seeing the soldiers and generals who were resting on the other side just now, they instantly got up and lined up, and such a simple action made Qi Lin break out in a cold sweat.

He had never seen such a swift and orderly assembly, without a trace of panic, no loud noise, no chaos as he imagined.

As a general, Qi Lin, of course, only knows how difficult it is to do this, which requires a long period of strict training.

If he was in order and assembled in an orderly manner, even if he was proud of the more than 2,000 elite officers and soldiers, it was estimated that he would not be as good as the other party.

Is this really a bunch of poles, a bunch of rabble? He's teasing me! Qi Lin's face became gloomy like water at this time.

Moreover, Qi Lin took a look at the generals of the White Dragon Army, although their armor was very mixed, there were both exquisite iron armor, ordinary leather armor, and cotton armor that was removed from the official army and modified.

But these are nothing, after all, how can a chaotic army get some armor.

But what mainly surprised Qi Lin was that the proportion of these chaotic soldiers on the other side who were equipped with armor was too high.

Not to mention that in the other party's chaotic army, those who were obviously led by a few horsebacks were wearing elite iron armor, and at first glance they were the leaders of the rebel army, and it was understandable that these people were wearing some elite armor.

But the soldiers of the White Dragon Army in the main formation were almost all wearing armor, only the rear were obviously some baggage soldiers, and they didn't seem to be wearing armor.

Even so, it was enough to shock Qi Lin.

After all, at this time, even the regular officers and soldiers under his command could not reach this level where almost everyone in the soldiers wore armor, so it was no wonder that Qi Lin's face was ugly at this time!

On the battlefield, although the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are very important, the dependence on armor is also something that cannot be ignored.

In the past, the rebel armies they encountered could be said to be very few who could wear armor.

Often in a chaotic army, at most one or two elite men and horses can wear armor, even if it is quite good, those are the fierce pawns in the chaotic army.

And this chaotic army has reached more than eighty percent of the generals, all of whom have a piece of armor, which makes him unable to figure it out.

You must know that armor is not easy to get in this world at this time.

Often, some of the people wearing armor in the rebel army are deserters from the official army.

These deserters often wear a suit of armor to defect to the rebellion and join the camp of the rebel army, and with only their full armor, they can get the weight of the leader of the rebel army, and they should be a small leader.

But the chaotic army in front of him was equipped with so much armor, and the army was so strong, if it weren't for Qi Lin knowing the details of the White Dragon Army in advance.

He might really think that this was a group of officers and soldiers like them, or a group of rebellious officers and soldiers, who would not think about the pole at all.

He finally understood why Wu Laiyun had repeatedly told him before setting off that he must not be careless and told him that this white dragon bandit was not simple.

No wonder Wu Laiyun wanted to entangle 10,000 officers and soldiers and come to encircle and suppress this white dragon bandit. Before, he didn't think so, but now he found that his back was covered in sweat.

The White Dragon Bandit in front of him is simply that, compared to the most elite Liaodong Border Army in the official army, the performance of this chaotic army is definitely not far behind.

Like Qi Lin's feelings, the generals under his command, after seeing the chaotic army blocking their way on the opposite side, were also like great enemies.

These are all court officers who have experienced battles, and they can naturally see that this chaotic army on the opposite side is not like the chaotic army they encountered before, which is not easy to deal with!

The officers and soldiers who were still rushing away just now all stopped at this time, and suddenly quieted down, and looked at the opposite side vigilantly one by one, looking at the chaotic army they wanted to exterminate this time.

Qi Lin looked at the chaotic army on the opposite side and lost his mind for a while, but after all, as the main general in the army, his reaction speed was still a little faster than others, and he recovered immediately.

I saw him with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "It's really a bit unexpected, this time I met an interesting enemy." ”

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