"I can't leave." Li Dingguo climbed the watchtower, put down his monoculars, looked at the northern, central, and southern directions were Shunjun, and said.

"I can't leave, okay. Anyway, we didn't come here and didn't plan to fail. By his side, Ni Yuanlu followed and put down his glasses.

is different from Li Dingguo's, but the glasses in Ni Yuanlu's hand are binoculars at the moment. With one more cylindrical lens, the world inside is closer and more three-dimensional.

Li Dingguo saw that Ni Yuanlu didn't know when he came quietly, and he was surprised in his heart: "Xixiang is here!" ”

"Hmm." Ni Yuanlu hummed lightly: "The main forces of the Shun army are all ready." The brothers in Deer Town are safe. ”

"It's a pity that I don't know how many troops are left of the Flying Bear Regiment after being ambushed, I'm afraid that the baggage has been lost, there are no heavy weapons, and most of the military resources have been lost, and the Flying Bear Regiment may be difficult to struggle out of Luzhen, otherwise it will be a wonderful thing to attack before and after, and this battle will have a few more chances of winning." Li Dingguo sighed.

If the Flying Bears were simply stopped in a hurry, the situation would have been much better.

It's a pity that there is no if. In the past few days, the Shun army has attacked repeatedly, and it is not easy for the official army's offensive to keep the Flying Bear Regiment, and it is already an extravagant hope to think about anything else.

Ni Yuanlu didn't take this stalk, he pointed to a big flag in front of him, and said, "The main force of the thieves is here." That banner is Li Zicheng's infallibility. ”

As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, Ni Yuanlu is familiar with the etiquette system, what banner the king uses, what kind of carriages and horses, and several people carry the sedan chair very clearly.

To establish a country in Dashun, of course, it must also have the reason of a king. Not to mention anything else, a whole bunch of officials have been set up. Naturally, there should also be etiquette to regulate order. Li Zicheng has no other references, and he has no time to verify the old affairs of the previous dynasty between the urgency, so he naturally refers to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's appearance immediately attracted Ni Yuanlu's attention.

The two went down the watchtower and saw a man walking with a smile.

"The Great War has begun!" It was Gao Mingheng, this Minister of National Defense was a little bored today, he smiled and arched his hand towards Ni Yuanlu: "Xixiang, how to fight this battle?" The military department has done everything that can be done, but on the contrary, I am the only spectator left to witness history. ”

Compared with the East Mansion of the Cabinet, the Privy Council is the West Mansion, and as the deputy envoy, Ni Yuanlu is the West Minister. Of course, no one will say a single subword without interest.

What's more, today's commander is already Ni Yuanlu.

Ni Yuanlu politely bowed his hand: "I have already arranged all the plans, plans, and preparations everywhere." How to play in battle depends on the ability of the commander. ”

Gao Mingheng bowed his head slowly, and there was no objection, which relieved Ni Yuanlu, who was worried about the internal struggle for power.

1st Regiment of the Royal Guards Regiment.

There are not many troops around Hu Dawei, there are two battalions in total, plus the battalion's artillery 100 households and personal guards, a total of about 6,000 men. After counting the Li Guozhen troops who were in the back of the formation, the Hu Dawei troops led the troops into battle and grew stronger.

There are thousands of people immediately, and the feeling is finally a little different. Regardless of the 100,000 soldiers and horses that the Shun army actually has, it looks like it is comparable on the battlefield.

Hu Dawei went into battle, and the only new force in the official army was left with the cavalry battalion that had fought happily before. Of course, if you have to calculate carefully, in fact, there are Li Guozhen's soldiers in the Beijing camp and the baggage auxiliary battalion. The baggage battalion may still have some combat effectiveness, but whoever sees the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion will put a question mark again.

Although, Li Guozhen also brought 6,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp who thought they were the best. But in today's world, who doesn't know that the real good treatment of strong soldiers is in the Guards Regiment?

Otherwise, with the account books of 30,000 people in the Beijing camp, only 6,000 people would not have been elected. Li Guozhen also played a drum in his heart.

The town of Deer is a small town, and there is not much flat land near the left of the town, so the cavalry cannot be used.

As a result, the soldiers and horses sent by both sides were foot soldiers.

Tens of thousands of officers and troops set up a position on the east side of the town of Lulu and marched slowly. The Shun army in the west looked up and saw the change, and the Shun army, which had left the camp at dawn, quickly responded.

"The battle formations of the officers and soldiers are quite neat. The Shandong town of that year, the current Guards Legion, in a flash, but two years have passed. Okay, good, God, today, I finally ushered in a decisive battle. After this battle, was it the Battle of Makino or the Battle of Misui...... It's finally time to see the difference. Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong, the shame of returning from the fiasco of the war back then can finally be washed away by me! After the victory of this battle, I am the only king of this Chinese world, and I am no longer the thief who was driven around! Li Zicheng's heart was surging, and an unprecedented desire burned in his heart, making him energetic, his mind clearer, and his mood more excited.

He turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him.

"Soldiers, the founding heroes of Dashun. The main force of the official army has been involved by the barbarians of Saibei, today is a golden opportunity, as long as the enemy in front of us is defeated, no one can resist us within a thousand miles! This big tomorrow is ours! Li Zicheng shouted.

Below, more than a dozen wrestlers repeated Li Zicheng's words sentence by sentence, acting as a humanoid megaphone. Soon, the sound waves continued to spread, layer after layer, so that the Shun army gradually knew about it.

Suddenly, the cheers behind Li Zicheng were the first to sound from the mouths of the imperial guards: "Long live my emperor!" Dashun Wansheng! ”

"Long live our emperor! Dashun Wansheng! ”

"Long live our emperor! Dashun Wansheng! ”

……

After that, the cheers spread in waves, and the whole army was infected with such excitement.

They cheered and roared, unleashing the sound waves and enthusiasm of the people themselves.

Then, the stirring drum sounded: "Knock knock knock......"

The sound of the drum represented the signal of the attack, and the mouths of countless grassroots generals of the Shun army quickly shouted an order: "Go to war!" ”

The military order has been issued, and the various departments have ordered the left and right to step forward.

Liu Xiyao, the general of the right battalion, and Xie Junyou, the general of the left battalion, slowly stepped forward with the left and right two battalions, and the general Liu Zongmin lost his usual laughter, and the pace of the pro-army in the middle battalion was a little slower. The huge army slowly stepped forward, leaving a V-shaped curve in the middle of the battle formation.

Hu Dawei, who led the army, quickly recognized it: "The Shun army is in a wild goose marching array." I'm pretty confident. ”

The Wild Goose Formation is an ancient large formation, which is used in the case of encirclement. The Art of War: Ten Rules Surround It.

The Shun army had exactly ten times the strength of the official army.

"The proud army will be defeated!" Behind him, Liu Sheng took over.

Fierce as a tiger laughed: "It's our turn!" ”

The more than 6,000 officers and men of the First Regiment did not engage in the old military formations, and they set up a total of seven phalanxes on the scale of one battalion and three phalanxes.

The military formation of the whole officer army is arranged in a square formation, with three phalanxes in the first two rows, and the last row is the reserve of the whole army and the fierce tiger on horseback. As the main general, Hu Dawei no longer has the impulse and qualifications to charge.

Seven phalanxes were placed on the open field, and the scorching summer sun scorched the earth and hardened the earth, and tens of thousands of people stepped on the earth like countless small drums beating on the tips of everyone's hearts.

To the north, on the city wall of Delu Town, Xu Yanqi had a calm face.

Behind him, Xia Chen, Wang Xun, Qian Zhi, Xi Bin and other soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment were all onlookers around the city wall. The strange thing is that the Shun troops under the city wall are not attacking the city, but are arrayed from afar across the city wall. There is a gap outside the city, but there is no shortage of battles on the battlefield.

The whole world began to be brutal and bloody. But there was silence.

In the Flying Bear Regiment, the fighting spirit is surging.

"General Lang, let's fight!" Wang Xun was the first to speak.

"The brother troops have already sent soldiers and horses into battle, and it is up to us. The brothers are all looking forward to it, just waiting to fight out and join the robes! General Lang, give the order! Up and down my first battalion, there is no one of them! Bao Guo, the captain of the first battalion of the Flying Bear Regiment, shouted in a deep voice.

Wang Xun's eyes widened: "The soldiers of my reconnaissance company are riding horses, how much food they occupy these days, and they are all eager to fight, and none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death." Captain, give the order! ”

"Attacking back and forth, this is a fighter. General Lang, give the order! ”

Even Qian Zhi, a small banner stationed not far from the city wall, was looked at by Xi Bin and other soldiers beside him, and said nonsense: "Xiaoqi, let's go forward and ask for battle!" ”

"There is a fight outside, the brothers of the first regiment have encountered a twenty-fold siege, our flying bear regiment's great reputation, continuous honor, can't be buried here!"

"Yes, Xiaoqi, let's go and ask for battle!" Xi Bin stared at Qian Zhi.

Qian Zhi looked bitter: "Why didn't I want to ......?"

"Let's stop it!" At this time, Xia Chen spoke: "Which of us here, including General Lang, is afraid of death?" It's just this battle...... Alas......"

The crowd fell silent.

Xu Yanqi said: "Those who don't want to watch the battle honestly on the city wall will go down, this battle ...... It will be enough for us to catch the soldiers who are lying in ambush for us outside. ”

"Ambush ......?" The crowd changed color.

Rumble......

Suddenly, a cannon shot made the soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment in the town of Deer nervous.

"The enemy has opened fire! Get ready to defend! Xia Chen shouted.

Xu Yanqi grabbed Xia Chen: "It's the main battlefield!" It's our army's artillery, no, there is a situation......"

Xia Chen hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked: "But...... Our army only fired one cannon, oh the eye, how can the thieves have so many cannons! ”

On the main battlefield, the two sides were already approaching, and the distance was less than three hundred paces.

At this distance, most of the artillery pieces can reach.

Artillery fire rang out, but the direction was from west to east. In this direction, the Shun army opened artillery on the officers and troops to the east.

Sure enough, a series of iron balls rose in the west, rose in the west and fell in the east, smashing into the crowd of officials and soldiers. A splatter of flesh-tearing blood splattered, and screams quickly rang out.

The auxiliaries in white coats quickly dragged the wounded soldiers down, and the picture was quietly dyed with a scarlet rendering.

"Mighty!" Ahead, the soldiers of the two battalions of the Shun Army, who rushed to the forefront, shouted one after another.

Among the officers and soldiers, it is busy.

Pack up the wounded and reline the queue. Everyone shouldered the ZTE rifle in their hands and listened to the tips of the veterans and officials around them repeatedly.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

"We can win!" Fierce as a tiger shouted: "We are the first regiment of the Guards Regiment!" ”

"Roar!" Liu Sheng didn't say much, and let the soldiers under his command vent their emotions.

But in the midst of such venting, the officers and troops did not move and continued to approach.

Round after round of artillery fire rang out, and the distance between the two sides was close to a hundred and fifty paces. The officers and men of the Guards Regiment were more composed, they understood that the battle was about to enter range.

At this time, another round of artillery of the Shun army roared one after another.

The artillery of the Shun army obviously has a lot of artillery, and in just a few hundred paces, both large and small artillery have joined in this roar, vying to be the first to speak. A rough count of the shells that flew into the air and fell turned out to be more than 100 people.

And the officers and soldiers understand that there are already many fast-firing artillery guns that have fired the third round!

"Fire!" Li Huan shouted. The senior apprentice of Li Jun, the director of the Ordnance Institute, was the 100 artillery households of the First Regiment, and he personally proofread a Hongyi cannon.

Nearby, ten more guns will set the cannon on fire.

Then, the medicine packets that were weighed in unison were ignited, and the sharply expanding air propelled iron pellets from the muzzles of the guns to fly out of the air at a speed of more than 300 meters per second, and then slid down in unison at a speed visible to the naked eye, smashing into the rear of the Shun army in the shape of a parabola.

There was silence on the artillery positions of the officers and soldiers, and some were only nervous and orderly reloading. Clean the chamber and reload. Li Huan continued to reload without care, although he had fully measured the time of a stick of incense, just for Fang Cai's blow.

At this moment, in the rear of the breaking army, twelve shells fell into the rear of the Shun army in almost no particular order in the salvo, and as many as seven of them fell into the artillery position of the Shun army.

This can almost be regarded as a miracle in the current use of smoothbore guns. And the results are also rare and impressive. At that moment, there were four cannons reimbursed, and there were four gunners who died on the spot, and there was a blur of flesh and blood. There were six or seven gunners who could no longer fight with broken hands and feet, and more than a dozen were slightly wounded. The artillery battalion of the Shun army, which was already scarce in gunners, suddenly fell into a panic, and the artillery positions that originally fired hundreds of rounds in salvo were suddenly reduced by half.

At the same time, the distance on the main battlefield was already close to only a hundred paces.

Both sides began to slow down, and orders were heard, and the battlefield was filled with human voices as if it were boiling water.

Angry scolding, screaming, noise, heralds, and the word that was shouted the most by countless people: "Kill!" ”

……

"Line up!"

Both sides shouted the word almost simultaneously.

After a brief moment of panic, the Shun army came to a halt within sixty paces.

Liu Xiyao waved his hand heavily: "It's time for us to really play our skills!" ”

The right battalion of the Shun army in the front row was still advancing, but the Shun army in the back row picked up hard crossbows one after another.

"It's a crossbow!" In the town of Deer, Xia Chen's brows furrowed.

On the first row of the right battalion, rattan signs were erected in unison, and they stood sixty paces away. After the triple rattan soldiers, there were three or four thousand crossbowmen desperately using their feet to put crossbow arrows on top of the crossbow machine.

"Rattan hand squat!" Liu Tichun shouted.

Rows of rattan players squatted down in unison.

After that, three or four thousand crossbowmen were on standby.

"Launch!" Liu Tichun swung forward fiercely.

With Liu Tichun's order, at least three thousand crossbow arrows rushed out first.

Sixty paces away, there were the firecrackers of the officers and soldiers, and none of them were wearing armor! (To be continued.) )
