"Seize the high ground!"

The horse's hooves were rolling, although the Liukou ambush had not yet appeared, but the Central Military Department issued an order, and all the soldiers of the Shunxiang Army were urging their horses to gallop up the hill. Then the soldiers dismounted and arranged the formation www.biquge.info on all sides, and soon lined up the military formation.

B, C, and D respectively protect the east, west, and north sides of the slope, and there are no troops on the south side of the river. However, the remaining Sergeants of General A still dismounted and stood on the hillside with the Thousand Headquarters, serving as a reserve and assault force.

The baggage caravan had returned, and had also driven the wagons up the hill, and they had cleaned up the previous battlefield, packed up a piece of weaponry, and then dug some pits, and threw the rogues into the pit into which they had been killed, and they were still not accustomed to seeing people explode corpses in the wilderness.

The wounded soldiers who were shot also gave them a good time and threw them into the pit together.

At this time, the soldiers were in strict formation, and some of the musketeers and soldiers of the baggage brigade went out to collect gold and silver treasures, and some went to the river to fetch water -- and there would be a fierce battle among the musketeers, and if the muskets were fired for a long time, some wet cloths would be needed to cool the pipes. When the water is mentioned first, it also means to be prepared.

Gao Shi Yince on the horse, with a clairvoyant mirror to the west bank of the river valley, it can be seen that there are many people in the thatched bushes there, and from time to time some people and horses rush into the hills over there. Imagining that they couldn't be ambushed, Gao Shiyin couldn't help but crack his mouth and laugh.

……

"These officers and soldiers are not easy to deal with."

At this time, behind a hill where Gao Shiyin Jimu was, a middle-aged man was frowning.

This middle-aged man was thick-skinned, about thirty years old, wearing a hood on the inside and a rough felt on the outside, and on the ground in front of him, there was a horse lance and a long-maned horse, and he was bored eating hay in front of him.

"Brother Liu, I heard from the brother who came back that those officers and soldiers are well-armoured, not only do they have iron and cotton armor, but they also have horses. In particular, their firearms are very powerful, and they can kill people in a hundred steps, and our brothers, armed with bows and arrows, have no strength to fight back. ”

A young leader next to him also said, he was in his twenties, and while he said, he also held his hands hard, and his hands and face were red from the cold weather. Every time a cold wind blew, he couldn't help but tighten the leather jacket on his body.

In particular, these officers and soldiers are not greedy for money, and they are unmoved when they see the gold and silver wealth, and they still keep the army in order when they see the silver all over the ground. I have followed King Chuang for so many years, such officers and soldiers have never seen it, and I heard the brothers who fled back say that they are carrying the banner of the king, how can there be a general surnamed Wang in these Henan provinces? Or maybe...... Are they foreign guest soldiers? ”

This "Brother Liu" pondered deeply, and a cautious and calm look flashed in his eyes, the results of the previous bait brothers were beyond his expectations, three thousand against one thousand, and they were defeated in a moment. And these brothers are terrified, not only are half of them missing, but even those who fled back are also in shock.

They even called those officers and soldiers ghosts, and they couldn't be easily offended, seeing that they disturbed the morale of the army, this "Brother Liu" killed a few people on the spot, so that those routed soldiers calmed down.

He pondered for a long time, and then said: "Those officers and soldiers have stopped, and they are arrayed a few miles away, it is so strange, how did they find out about our ambush?" ”

The young leader said: "Brother Liu, we have been in ambush here for many days, we are freezing and tired, and if we don't attack again, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to support it." ”

The "Brother Liu" looked at his side, and there were Ma Jun densely packed around him, most of them wearing felt hats, wearing armor or leather armor, holding spears, waist knives and bows and arrows, and some people were wearing three-eyed guns or bird guns. After King Chuang broke many cities in Henan Mansion and captured many warehouses of officers and soldiers, at least the equipment of the horse army was exquisite, especially the brothers of the old battalion.

However, the rest of the infantry only had leather jackets and spears, and a red scarf wrapped around their heads, and most of them were young and strong, and some old and weak were in the middle. Most of the infantry soldiers were hungry and disaster victims, and after being coerced, they had no other thoughts, they just wanted to become the official infantry soldiers who broke into the camp and really had a full bite to eat.

Retracting his gaze, "Brother Liu" said: "I always feel that these officers and soldiers are not easy to deal with, and I am afraid that many brothers will be damaged......

The young leader hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, in the words of a scholar, we are now riding a tiger and it is difficult to ......."

He looked around and said softly: "There are so many horses and armor for officers and soldiers, if they are defeated, our brothers in the old battalion can be expanded again." If the officers and soldiers are difficult to gnaw, let those hungry people go up, and the brothers of the old battalion, as well as the horse army, do not have to go out. There are only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and more than 10,000 of us. ”,

The "Brother Liu" eyes flashed and nodded, this person is Liu Fangliang, a general under King Chuang, who joined the army in his early years and was one of Li Zicheng's henchmen. The young leader was Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew, nicknamed "A Tiger", and he was quite brave in battle. They have been fighting with Li Zicheng for many years, and they have seen a lot of corpses and mountains and sea of blood, how can they care about other people's lives?

In September of this year, Li Zicheng was surrounded in the fish-belly mountain, Liu Fangliang, Liu Zongmin and others killed their wives and swore to obey Li Zicheng. This person's heart can be said to be extremely cold, this is the case for his wife and children, and it can be imagined for others.

The two discussed a few words in a low voice, and a rough voice came: "Brother Liu, Brother Li, those dog officers and soldiers have stopped, as if they found our ambush, is this battle fought or not?" ”

The voice was like his person, and over came a burly man, with a bearded face and a torn leather jacket on his body. The leather jacket was opened, and in the cold weather, his face still did not change. At his waist, he carried a huge saber and a large bow and arrow.

Seeing this person, Li Guo frowned slightly, but Liu Fangliang smiled: "Brother Dayong, of course this battle must be fought, we have planned to ambush for so many days, if we don't fight, how can we explain to our brothers?" When the officers and men found out, they found that we had taken a hard attack. ”

The man said excitedly: "Donkey Qiuzi, I heard that those officers and soldiers all have armor and horses, if they are defeated, the momentum of our righteous army will be greatly strengthened." ”

He wiped his mouth, clenched his fists and said, "How to say, the matter of commanding the siege of the infantry should be done by my old Hao." ”

Liu Fangliang said: "Okay, Brother Dayong is eager to kill thieves, this command of the infantry siege will be handed over to you." ”

The man smiled happily and was very excited, only Li Guo snorted inaudibly.

This big man is Hao Shaoqi, whose real name is Hao Dayong, was originally a general promoted by Gao Yingxiang, because of his fierce combat and good command of the flag, so he got the nickname of "Hao Shaoqi", and the original name is slowly forgotten.

Hao Shaoqi is not Li Zicheng's descendant, and he is good at wine and greedy for glasses, so he always delays major events, so Li Zicheng is not allowed to reuse. Moreover, although Hao Shaoqi himself is brave, his subordinates are too oily, and it is common to burn, kill, and plunder.

Especially when Li Zicheng was in trouble in Shangluo Mountain, Hao Shaoqi refused to return, although Hao Shaoqi defected again afterwards, but Li Zicheng's generals had already knotted Hao Shaoqi, especially Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Li Guo and others were extremely dissatisfied.

Although Li Guo has a calmness that is not commensurate with his age, after all, he is young and vigorous, and it is difficult to hide his thoughts, but Liu Fangliang is quite a city person, and he still calls Hao Shaoqi as a close "Dayong Brother".

"Okay, this battle is going to be fought quickly, and those dog officers and soldiers will run away when it's too late. The lured brothers blew those officers and soldiers into the sky, and I wanted to see if those dog thieves were three-headed and six-armed. ”

Hao Shaoqi gritted his teeth and looked hideous.

……

Gao Shiyin held a clairing mirror and looked at it, when suddenly a gong sounded, and then an arrow flew into the sky, as if thousands of people were shouting in unison, and there was an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound.

It seemed that countless peasant troops with spears and red scarves on their heads rushed from the west to the other side of the river, and the noisy voices finally converged into one: "Kill the officers and soldiers!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a large group of horses also rushed from the other side of the river, stirring up patches of water. The smoke and dust were billowing out, and it seemed that there were dense horses, rushing down from the mountains to the north, and rushing towards the army on Gao Shiyin's side from several directions.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

Large puffs of smoke and dust rose up, and the sight was densely covered with spears and red turbans, and the crowds of people were pouring in everywhere, and there was no edge to be seen, and the people and horses were fixed above ten thousand people.

Gao Shiyin's expression did not move, the clairvoyant mirror in his hand was still held calmly, and after a long time, he snorted: "The thief is here, it's good!" ”

A bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and he looked around to the left and right, and the soldiers in the armor in the department sat quietly on all sides, holding their weapons in their hands, and did not panic in the slightest because of the arrival of a large group of thieves.

Seeing that the rogues on all sides were getting closer and closer, and it was less than a mile, Gao Shiyin passed on the order.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Protection!"

All the soldiers shouted, and all of them got up, ready to fight.

Chief Lancer Zhao Rongsheng also shouted, stood up, his heart was boiling, if he wanted to kill the thief, he would have military merits...... Last year, he accompanied the army to conquer the mountain bandits on the East Road, and was credited with a meritorious service because of his bravery.

His head didn't move, but his eyes slanted at the armor chief beside him, he was almost the same equipment as himself, all iron armor, iron mesh boots, and an eight-petal hat and iron-pointed helmet. However, on his helmet, the fluttering is a black tassel, and on the edge of the waist card, the cloth is also a black circle, which is the symbol of Shangguan, and he has been longing for it for a long time.

The battle ...... Zhao Rongsheng gripped his spear tighter.

There was the agitation of the consolation officer of the thousand headquarters in his ears: "Gentlemen, think of the majestic posture of my Shunxiang army, attack Pinggu in the east, and fight the giant deer in the south, how chic and heroic. We are under the command of the general of Dingguo, pointing at the flag, the ugliness is gone, and the husband is standing between heaven and earth, so why are we afraid of the blood of our people? ”

He squinted at each other: "Gentlemen, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Victory!"

There was a majestic shout, accompanied by the sound of neat spears on the ground.

"Victory!"

The officers threw their fists.

"Wan Sheng!"

As the sergeant shouted in response, Gao Shiyin stood upright with his sword, and the generals beside him also pressed their swords in their hands. The town magistrates stood with their hands in their hands, and they were all high-spirited!
