Sure enough, as Li Shixun expected, not long after the Qing army was completed, many Ming troops rushed out from behind the hills and among the trees on the side. These Ming troops sneaked all the way to the vicinity of the Qing army, and then suddenly shouted and killed together. When they found that the enemy army was not rushing at them with flanks and backs as they had imagined, but had already set up a defensive position with spears and shields, these Ming troops stopped in front of the Qing army, and their shouts fell silent, looking a little overwhelmed.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Shixun shouted forcefully, and the sword in his hand swung in the direction of the Ming army.

The archers of the Qing army bent their bows and pulled arrows one after another, and went to the side of the Ming army, and many Ming soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. In the interval when the archers of the Qing army took their arrows and prepared for another round, countless flying locusts suddenly rose into the air behind the Ming army in the front row, making a swishing sound of breaking the sky, and rushed towards the position of the Qing army.

"Raise your shield!"

Suddenly seeing the enemy arrows coming, the Qing army officers in the front row shouted almost at the same time.

After hearing this order, the shield-bearers subconsciously raised their shields, and the arrows that rained down nailed to their shields one after another, knocking the shield-raising soldiers back one or two steps one or two steps. Most of the feathered arrows were blocked, and only a few shè made their way into the crowd, killing and wounding some Qing archers who were not wearing heavy armor.

This limited counterattack did not affect the speed of the next round of Qing attacks, and soon the Qing archers neatly bent their bows to the sky, and with the officer's order, they launched another attack on the Ming army's side. This was followed by a counterattack by the Ming army...... The hand-to-hand fighters of the two armies did not come into contact at once, and so you attacked each other four or five times with bows and arrows.

The Qing army has not yet wavered in any way, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Ming army began to be unbearable because of the constant casualties, and the Ming troops in the front row retreated back on their own without waiting for the banner. After two more rounds of shè, the Qing army heard a crisp golden sound from behind the Ming army's formation, and the Ming army in the front row heard this sound as if they had been pardoned, and retreated from the front of the Qing army's formation, only the archers of the Ming army continued to attack the Qing formation in rounds.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming army, many generals of the Qing army jumped to the test, intending to launch an attack. The so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, and the brave pursuit can make the enemy unable to hold his foot, from retreat to defeat, and when the time comes, he can make the opponent rout, thus laying the foundation for today's victory in one fell swoop.

At this time, behind the Ming army's formation, He Zhen, who ordered Mingjin, had already walked to a relatively high position, staring wide-eyed to observe the movements of the Qing army camp opposite. It is impossible not to admit that Li Shixun has improved compared to before, but He Zhen also did not stand still, but further improved and strengthened the tactics of luring the enemy, and now he is looking for the best time to use the serial lure strategy.

When He Zhen was full of anticipation, Li Shixun on the opposite side had already realized that the Qing army was about to launch a pursuit, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go crazy and not allow anyone to take the initiative to attack.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Li Shixun also ordered the family to immediately go to the generals to pass the password, so that the whole army will strictly defend the position, and anyone who takes a step forward will be beheaded.

Seeing the Ming army fleeing away, the generals of the Qing army were all in a hurry. There are also those archers of the Ming army, who are obviously not far away and are not protected by hand-to-hand combatants, but the commander sounded gold without beating drums, and sent henchmen to reiterate the order that no one should attack. A bad-tempered Yiling general was not far from Li Shixun's general banner, and after hearing this ridiculous order, he ran to Li Shixun in three steps and two steps, and asked whether the other party would fight? Why should you miss the opportunity to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop?

In the face of the rudeness of this subordinate, Li Shixun did not get angry, just shook his head slightly and sighed, and said, "You don't know the cunning of thieves." ”

The first time he encountered the Ming army's lure time, Li Shixun didn't know anything about it, and when he saw that He Zhen had few people, he didn't think much about it, and quickly rushed up, and then lost control of the army in a daze, relying on his horse to be fast, and finally escaped from Ascension; Later, when he met He Zhen again, Li Shixun felt that the other party would not use the same trick against him again - if the other party would be too contemptuous of his intelligence - so Li Shixun launched another all-army charge, and then was defeated again and fled; Later, Li Shixun and Hao Shaoqi confronted, because the opponent was not He Zhen, Li Shixun was paralyzed, and the war drums urged the army to attack on all fronts, but he saw Hao Shaoqi's soldiers also throwing copper coins, cloth and the kind of broken silver that is particularly difficult to find while running, Li Shixun didn't say anything, and took advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet come out from the flank to besiege him, and ran away with his personal guards.

This third battle is the one He Zhen knows. Hao Shaoqi once thanked He Zhen afterwards, and praised again and again that it was really good to use this trick against Li Shixun. In the past, Li Shixun had the support of Hu Quancai behind him, and he had an advantage in troops and equipment, so he defeated He Zhen and Hao Shaoqi many times, and this time the two of them finally avenged with one arrow.

Last year, Hao Shaoqi's soldiers sent to Xiangyang, and the road was narrow, and Li Shixun collided with him again. Seeing that Hao Shaoqi did not have many soldiers, Li Shixun was ready to pounce on him to take revenge, but after thinking about it, he was worried that the other party was trying to lure the enemy. Hao Shaoqi and He Zhen had already used this trick three times, and Li Shixun pondered that if a person's intelligence was not inferior to that of a monkey, he should not use the trick that he had already used three times; In fact, don't talk about monkeys, according to Li Shixun's experience, it may be that the basket used to catch toads can be used again and again, but the same toad cannot be used indefinitely.

However, he sailed carefully to the 10,000-year-old ship, and in the end, Li Shixun still did not launch a general attack, but let a small number of armored soldiers and auxiliary soldiers attack. If Hao Shaoqi fought seriously, the first round of the Qing army's offensive would definitely be repulsed, and it would suffer a lot of manpower and morale losses. However, it turned out that Li Shixun's caution thwarted Hao Shaoqi's plan, and the other party really threw down the copper coins, cloth and broken silver and ran away.

That time, when Hao Shaoqi's main force came out from the side, he crashed headlong into Li Shixun's main armored troops. has already suffered losses three times, and Li Shixun's eyes are burning with hatred. Hao Shaoqi obviously did not expect it, and was quickly repelled by the Qing army. Li Shixun personally led the army to rush to kill, closely followed behind the Ming army, and vowed to chop Hao Shaoqi into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs.

Unexpectedly, the main force that Hao Shaoqi used to flank was also carrying copper coins, cloth and that kind of damn broken silver, and being repelled by the Qing army was actually a trick to lure the enemy twice. "Hao thief, you are ruthless!" After the whole army lost control, Li Shixun scolded and fled again, this was the fourth time he was defeated under this ghost domain trick, and Li Shixun swore that it would be the last.

Last time, Hao Shaoqi was finally repelled from Xiangyang, and he was in no mood to show off the enhanced version of the enemy lure plan to He Zhen. So today, He Zhen didn't know that he and Hao Shaoqi had the same idea, and they made the same improvement to this strategy.

"How did Li Thief become jīng?" He Zhen waited for a long time, but still couldn't wait for the onslaught of the Qing army, and his heart became more and more anxious. The archers he placed in front of him, all carrying copper coins and broken silver, were prepared for the situation in front of him, as long as the Qing army attacked, he could create chaos again.

On the opposite side of He Zhen, the other Qing generals were also anxious, and shouted at Li Shixun, saying that if they didn't attack again, they would let the enemy run away.

But Li Shixun was extremely calm, and calmly analyzed: "The opposite side is either Hao Shaoqi or He Zhen, and I will estimate that He Zhen's face is large." ”

The last time Hao Shaoqi's main attack on the flank was blocked, when he lured himself into pursuit, the scene was much more realistic than today. Li Shixun didn't feel like Hao Shaoqi, it must be He Zhen; If it is Hao Shaoqi, most of them will have some fresh tricks; It's just that Li Shixun also knows that Hao Shaoqi is very contemptuous of himself, maybe he will do it again as it is, counting on himself to be fooled again, which is why he does not dare to be 100% sure of the identity of the enemy general.

"I know very well that He Zhen, this thief, is a wild dog, seeing the opportunity to steal merit and taking advantage is like smelling blood, he is definitely the first to pounce, but it is absolutely impossible to let him suffer." Li Shixun said as he carefully observed the movements of the Ming army. The intention of the other side to deceive was too obvious, and Li Shixun did not continue to speak, because he was so angry that his lips and arms were trembling. Li Shixun bit his lip tightly, trying his best to control the feelings in his heart, he knew that if he spoke now, he probably wouldn't even be able to control the tone. Well, even if you think I'm a toad, I'm going to let you know how powerful a toad is today! Let you know that toads aren't easy to mess with either! ”

Angrily swearing in his heart, after a long time, he was finally able to speak in a normal tone, Li Shixun continued to explain his thoughts to his subordinates: "He Zhen has thrown away so many copper coins, fabrics and broken silver, if it were someone else, if we didn't win the plan, maybe we would leave, but He Zhen wouldn't, he wouldn't be willing to leave if he didn't snatch things back." As long as we don't move, the thieves will definitely attack again. ”

Lee Se-hoon's attention is now focused on the flanks. According to his experience, when there was a large amount of property on the ground, the Qing army would certainly have chaos, but it would also have problems with the Ming army. Most of the auxiliaries who were responsible for throwing the silver were auxiliaries who lured the enemy, and in order to save their lives and prevent the Qing soldiers from catching up, they would run and throw desperately as much as they could. But if the main force of the Ming army reflexively kills back along this road, the soldiers of the Ming army can't help but pick it up.

"If the enemy doesn't attack, when our men over there are finished picking up, we will transfer them back to attack." Li Shixun is now facing the Han River with his back to the east, and he doesn't bother to look at the battlefield in the north, but casually stretches out his arm and points in that direction: "If the thief continues to throw it, we will continue to pick it up, I want to see if he throws the silver!" ”

After waiting for almost a pillar of incense, suddenly the war drums of the Ming army sounded in the east, and a large number of armored soldiers stepped forward again. This time, their formation became very tight, with swords, shields, spears, hammers, and axes, all kinds of troops, and the queue was orderly, lined up layer by layer. Soon the drums became more urgent, and the Ming army on the entire front marched in unison, pressing towards the Qing army.

After seeing the real strength of the Ming army, the other generals were a little shocked, the other party's current momentum was completely different from just now, it was simply two armies. If he had known that the Ming army was so neat just now, those generals who were clamoring for pursuit would never act rashly. Now the generals of the Qing army have put away their contempt for the Ming army and are preparing to face the battle, and they admire Li Shixun so much.

The rain of arrows thrown by the Qing army again could no longer slow down the pace of the Ming army in the slightest, and the archers of the opposing side also kept firing back to interfere with the Qing army's long-range throwing shè weapons. Soon the Ming army walked in front of the Qing army, and when they saw that a large number of Qing soldiers in the front row had put their spears and were ready to resist the enemy, the front row of the Ming army's spearmen suddenly turned sideways and got out of the way, and a large number of sword and shield soldiers rushed out from behind them.

With the momentum of rushing out, these sword and shield soldiers threw the javelins in their hands at the Qing formation not far away, and at the same time they threw them, they let out a loud roar: "Medium! ”

Countless javelins crossed the air, and the shield soldiers covered by the Qing army did not have time to raise their shields, and these javelins penetrated into the Qing army's position one after another, and the Qing soldiers in the front row were immediately cut down in a row, and the people who were shot in the head and chest fell to the ground without saying a word, and the soldiers who were wounded in the abdomen and legs could not die for a moment, and they let out a miserable cry in a pool of blood.

"Medium!"

"Medium!"

In addition to the javelin in his right hand, each Ming saber and shield soldier who rushed out also held two other ones in his other hand, and after throwing the first one, they immediately took the second one and threw it, followed by the third.

The tactics and equipment of the Ming and Qing armies were very similar, and the sword and shield soldiers of Jīng Rui would always open the way with three javelins before charging at the opponent's spear forest. And when throwing their guns, which is also the most dangerous time for these jīng soldiers, they carry their shields behind their backs and their knives are still in their sheaths, and both the archers and the pikemen who rush forward pose a great threat to them. There are also other countertactics, such as the opponent will also let the soldiers in the back row counter-bid the guns when the sword and shield soldiers throw their guns, suppressing and killing these jīng sharp pitchers.

Whether it's a bow and arrow, a counter-charge, or a spear, there's only one way to deal with all threats, and that's to do your best to get the cover of your shield back. The spear-throwing sword and shield soldiers that He Zhen chose to launch the charge were all his jīng sharp soldiers, and they all knew that the faster they could complete the three throws, the more damage they could inflict on the enemy, and at the same time, the safer they were.

At the time of the second throw, the Qing soldiers had already erected their shields, so the second throw to the enemy soldiers was much less lethal than the previous one. Hearing the shouts of the pitchers this time, all the soldiers of the Ming army shouted in unison and charged forward at the same time. As their teammates rushed by, the pitchers delivered the final blow.

He Zhen was reluctant to consume the most sharp soldiers in his hands, so his usual tactic was not to attack the enemy formation with these sharp sword and shield soldiers as the lead after the third throw, but to launch a full-army assault at the same time as the second throw, and the third throw was just right for the final suppression, and when the enemy put up a shield to resist the last throw, the Ming army had already killed in front of him.

The third threw his hand, and the sword and shield jīng soldier immediately drew his weapon and rushed forward behind his companion. Once they tear through the enemy line, they have to cut into the enemy line to reap the life.

In several other directions, some Qing generals made a counter-throw, and some people launched a counter-charge when throwing, and only the Qing soldiers in the middle section never fought back except for the shield.

The Qing army on this section of the position was Li Shixun's personal barracks.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row half-knelt behind the shield and supported the three throws of the Ming army. At this time, the front row of spearmen of the Ming army had rushed to the front, and at the same time that the javelin smashed into the shield and then slid down to the ground helplessly, the tip of the Ming army's spear in the front seemed to have touched the shield.

The shield soldiers did not rise to meet them, but remained in a half-crouching posture, and when the soldiers in the front row of the Ming army were about to raise their guns and stab down from the top of their heads......

"Squat!" The officers of the Qing army's pro-barracks shouted loudly.

Not only did the soldiers in the front row not stand up, but their companions behind them also crouched down two more rows, exposing their own soldiers further behind.

These soldiers were Li Shixun's sword and shield pitchers, and at the same time as the officers shouted the order, they threw their javelins and axes horizontally forward, grazing the heads of the soldiers in the front row and the edge of the shields from the Qing army's position.

The distance between the Ming army and the javelin was only a few people when the Ming army threw the guns just now, and the distance between the axes and javelins was only a few people, and this throwing caused an amazing killing effect, almost sweeping away the soldiers in the front row of the Ming army.

Feeling the sound of the weapon grazing against his scalp with the wind, the soldiers of Li Shixun's personal barracks immediately stood up. The Ming army on the opposite side has just received a heavy blow now, and there will be a moment of hesitation and hesitation, if they can seize the fleeting opportunity, they can overwhelm the other party from the momentum.

Like the Ming army, Li Shixun's sword and shield soldiers also carried three javelins or three throwing axes. Now that the soldiers in front of them have all stood up, of course they will not continue to hit horizontally, but quickly perform two upward shès. After passing the front row of their comrades and throwing out their javelins and axes, these Qing army pitchers also drew their knives and axes, took off their shields in their hands, and rushed forward.

At this time, the front lines of the two armies had just collided, and the dense forest of spears was either entangled, or had just been inserted into the human body before it had time to be pulled out, which was a rare and safe opportunity for the sword and shield soldiers to attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Qing saber and shield soldiers roared and flew up, jumping over countless guns and slashing at the enemy.

When these Qing soldiers tried to rush past the front line, pieces of sword light flashed in front of their eyes, this was He Zhen's sword and shield vanguard. Like their counterparts in the Qing army, they failed to rush over and slaughter the opposing pikemen at the chance of the first front collision, but their timely appearance protected their own front. The sword and shield soldiers of the two sides were close to each other, and the front lines of the two armies pushed each other, and soon formed a scene of dogs and teeth.

Li Shixun watched the fierce battle in front of him with full attention, the long front was full of people, some places the Ming army was forcing the Qing army to retreat, and in some areas it was the Qing soldiers who beat the Ming army back again and again. The front line writhed like a snake, and the sky was full of axes and javelins, which flew through the air without stopping, and fell past the front line into the opposing formation......
