"Don't be afraid, don't worry!" After the initial shock, Daniel Zhang immediately began to calm the somewhat turbulent subordinates: "General Wang's 10,000-strong army has arrived, and it will be there soon!" ”

Daniel Zhang first glanced to the east, where his own soldiers were trying to resist the Ming attack, and the armored soldiers on the opposite side were twice as large as the Qing army. Although most of the Qing army were inexperienced recruits, because they had dozens of veterans from the pro-military battalion as the backbone, they were able to retreat in an orderly manner instead of suffering losses. In the face of the strict formation of the Qing army, the Ming army attacking along the river bank was also a little weak-hearted, as the Qing army retreated step by step, the Ming army shouted loudly, and the Qing army took a step back and the Ming army followed.

Daniel Zhang knew that the fighting pro-soldier battalion must not be allowed to leave the battle immediately, and now relying on the backbone veterans, the four hundred pro-soldiers can still overcome fear and obey orders, once Empress Cang retreats under heavy pressure, morale will immediately fall to the bottom, and the Ming army on the opposite side will also be vigorous, swarming up and beating the water dogs.

Yuan Zongdi in the west had already turned to the defense, and Daniel Zhang asked the escaped stragglers to monitor Yuan Zongdi and pulled half of the elite soldiers over to defend the general flag. Daniel Zhang was determined to move quickly, and while the Ming army began to reorganize the formation, Daniel Zhang's tactical adjustments were also carried out rapidly. Although the number was absolutely disadvantaged, Daniel Zhang asked himself that after a long battle, he should be able to hold out until Wang Mingde and Yuan Jiawenbi came to reinforce him.

Opposite the banner of the Shaanxi Admiral, Zuo You straightened his waist and stared at the green flag tightly, and his subordinates behind him were lining up, taking advantage of this gap Zuo You took out the kettle on his waist and took a sip of water.

The clothes under the armor were completely soaked, and beads of sweat poured out from under the helmet, forming a thin stream on the cheeks and collecting on the tips of the chins. As a mouthful of water entered his abdomen, the sweat seemed to spurt out from the pores of his body at the same time, and under the thick armor, Zuoyou felt that he was about to explode like dynamite.

In the battle between Wanxian and Tan Yi, Zuo You was one of Deng Ming's personal guards, Wu San and Wu San were friends with Zuo You. The last time we met, these guys all changed their names, and I heard that they were given by Admiral Deng. During the siege of Chongqing, Deng Ming also went to Yuan Zongdi's camp to drink and talk with Zuo You and several other people who had fought side by side, reminiscing about the great victory in Wanxian County -- that was the most memorable battle of Zuo You. However, Wu San and they are more than that, their war experience is much more wonderful than Zuo You.

Although there was some envy, Zuo You did not have the slightest complaint, Yuan Zongdi was his benefactor, and Dachang's companions still needed him. In the past three years, Yuan Zongdi has promoted Zuo You to the position of General Qian, with more than 100 soldiers from the main battalion, and also helped him marry. Zuo You respects Deng Ming, but he is grateful to Yuan Zongdi from the bottom of his heart, this is the benefactor who treats him well, cultivates him, and needs him to repay with his life.

"All - to the right." Zuo You saw that his subordinates were basically in order, so he issued an order. These passwords were also taught by Deng Ming to the Wanxian Army, and Wu Yuewang also personally ran to Zuo You's team to help him familiarize himself with the passwords and train the soldiers, and the effect was also very good, so that Zuo You liked this set of passwords at once.

"Along my arm—spin." Zuo You stretched out his arm and asked the soldiers of the whole team to adjust the angle, and the other officers also used the same password as Zuo You to adjust the formation, and soon the main battalion was adjusted into a neat front in the direction of Daniel Zhang.

The enemy general in front of him, Zuo You had also heard of his great name, Daniel Zhang was Yuan Zongdi's old opponent, and according to Yuan Zongdi, this person was not only experienced, but also first-class in escaping skills. From the fourteenth to the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the camp in Henan successively gave the Qin army three annihilating blows, the Qin army lost as many as 200,000 troops in Henan, and so Sun Chuanting sent the trilateral army of Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi to Li Zicheng twice After annihilation, the grassroots officers of the Qin army were empty, and the Ming Dynasty returned to the sky countless times. The hereditary Qin army, officers, and veterans were wiped out in the Henan battlefield, and Daniel Zhang was an outlier among them, and the Qin army was repeatedly destroyed, but Daniel Zhang was able to escape every time.

After Yuan Zongdi's old troops were exhausted in Huguang, Daniel Zhang became an enemy that Yuan Zongdi no longer dared to despise, because Daniel Zhang was experienced and had an elite backbone accumulated by fighting in the south and the north; Yuan Zongdi, on the other hand, was unable to train his troops because he became short of supplies and could only protect himself, let alone annihilate Daniel Zhang's pro-soldier troops.

"Without you, Bengong is probably not Daniel Zhang's opponent." After the last battle of Chongqing, Yuan Zongdi said to the officers of Zuo You's main battalion: "Even with you, Daniel Zhang should not be taken lightly." If the number is equal, you will also have the upper hand against Daniel Zhang's pro-military camp. However, I heard that the elites he brought out over the years were annihilated by the Admiral, so it's good, just like in Henan back then, why we fought more and more smoothly, and the Qin army became weaker and weaker, because they were repeatedly annihilated by us. ”

The fierce enemy in the mouth of the benefactor is in front of him, and Zuo You and his colleagues are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, determined to prove that they are the stronger side: if they can't even defeat the rebuilt soldiers of Daniel Zhang in this battalion, won't it be too disappointing to the benefactor and disgrace Commander Deng?

"Forward!" The drum sounded, Zuo You shouted, and strode forward with his subordinates, and his left and right wings also took steps at the same time.

"Capture Daniel Zhang alive!"

"Capture Daniel Zhang alive!"

I don't know who shouted the first first, and immediately the whole battalion shouted this sentence rhythmically together, including all the officers.

……

"Archer!"

Daniel Zhang raised one arm high, and three hundred pro-soldiers had already rushed back to report to him, and with these pro-soldiers by his side, Daniel Zhang was suddenly bold. He believed that soon the other half of the pro-soldiers in the east would be able to retreat to the hill he refused to defend, and once nearly a thousand pro-soldiers were strictly defended, Daniel Zhang did not believe that Yuan's army had the strength to gnaw his position. The level of Yuan Zongdi's guards had just been seen by Daniel Zhang, and if it were not for the unclear situation, Daniel Zhang would even have the urge to fight back and defeat the enemy army - but these Ming troops on the opposite side were very well equipped, which made Daniel Zhang look a little dumbfounded.

After seeing the proficiency of the other party in rectifying the military formation, Daniel Zhang's heart suddenly rose uneasy: "Could it be that this is Yuan Thief's guard?" ”

When he first saw that the equipment of this group of people seemed to be better than the troops around Yuan Zongdi, Daniel Zhang was a little puzzled, but he didn't think that Yuan Zongdi would break away from the guards, so he thought that there might be another reason, such as the auxiliary soldiers who transported equipment for the guards got lost and the equipment was backward, or this was a group of specially concentrated death squads, or other reasons.

However, the appearance of the other party's army made Daniel Zhang feel bad, and as the Ming army finished arraying, Daniel Zhang determined that the other party was by no means only a hundred well-equipped armored soldiers, but that the equipment of the more than a thousand Ming troops was all more than Yuan Zongdi's "guards".

"Shoot the arrows!" Daniel Zhang waved his arm vigorously, and the Qing army's feather arrows shot out and fell on the head of the Ming army, but the Ming army's actions did not stop and still maintained the original attack speed.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

The Ming army approached rapidly, and Daniel Zhang continued to shout, at which time the Qing archers no longer needed to shoot, but flattened their arms and fired directly at the Ming soldiers who were walking quickly.

The bows and arrows kept hitting the Ming soldiers in the front row, and if the bows and arrows failed to pierce the helmets and armor, the Ming soldiers who were hit continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, not even looking down to look at the parts that were hit, or to pull out the feather arrows hanging from the armor.

"These are soldiers who have been on the battlefield." Daniel Zhang had already come to a conclusion, but he still felt that it was an incredible thing: "Three years ago, Brother Yuan Zongdi fought Chongqing once, lost, and suffered heavy losses; Two years ago, he also played Huguang. Just these two times, how could he have so many veterans? ”

Several Ming soldiers were severely injured by bows and arrows, covering blood-spurting wounds, but their companions were still not affected in the slightest.

"You've all seen blood?" Daniel Zhang knew that recruits would be greatly impacted when they saw blood for the first time and saw people die, especially when their companions died beside them; When recruits first go into battle, they often have a dry mouth just after seeing the enemy. When he saw Yuan Zongdi marching forward just now, Daniel Zhang could see that many soldiers had weak legs and trembling hands and feet, and Daniel Zhang secretly laughed that this was still a pro-soldier who had eaten and drunk every ten days.

"Capture Daniel Zhang alive!"

The Ming army finally shouted this slogan, and then replaced it with a one-word cheer.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

After walking thirty steps into the Qing army's position, the Ming army rushed together and launched a full-speed charge towards Daniel Zhang, and in the blink of an eye, they collided with Daniel Zhang's own soldiers.

Daniel Zhang's soldiers in the front row did not move, resisted with shields, and fought back with knives, and the entire front that was hit by the Ming army was splashed with blood at the same time, and the roar of shields colliding suppressed the drum in an instant.

The sword light flew in the air, and in the overwhelming sound of killing, Daniel Zhang saw that some of his pro-soldiers deployed in the back row began to tremble again, and he saw with his own eyes that a pro-soldier who had just entered the battle could not even lift the knife with his soft arm when the enemy pounced on him. The soldier was slashed in the neck by the other man, and his head fell to the shoulder and fell to the side; And the Ming soldier, who looked like a leading officer, didn't even wipe the blood on his face, and slashed at the other Qing soldier with a lightning wave.

"Or have they all killed people?!" Looking at the hard-supporting front, Daniel Zhang was completely stunned, and the wail of the Qing army general who had just lost his armor echoed in his head: "So powerful, really powerful!" ”

"Yuan Zongdi, will you fight? Put the guards in the rear? "In the blink of an eye, dozens of personal soldiers were killed, although the Ming army also fell a batch, but one by one is still like a tiger, obviously this battalion of Ming troops have killed people, seen blood is not just a few officers.

Daniel Zhang finally discovered that he, like Yuan Zongyi, had misjudged the direction of the enemy's main attack, and even his mistake might have been more serious.
