The reaction from Yue Zhongqi's camp made Yu Jin, Chen Dao, Le Jin and others feel much more at ease. Although the other side's reaction was very quick and the soldiers rushing out of the camp were all wearing armor, there was no organized army to encircle them.

This is very good news for Yu Jin and others.

The most frightening thing about a night attack is that you rush in and find that a large army is already waiting for you. In that case, even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive.

Although it is now daytime, the lack of an organized army means that the enemy did not expect them to attack today, which is already a very good situation.

At least they omitted the time of rushing towards the camp from a distance and being sniped in advance, which was already a very good situation for them.

"kill!"

The Qing troops who rushed out of the tents picked up their weapons and formed a battle array based on the tents. They were in an orderly manner without a trace of chaos, and they quickly responded to the Xinghan soldiers who rushed in from the rear camp.

This amazing reaction speed surprised Chen Dao and Le Jin. It was completely different from their previous attacks.

Yu Jin felt a lot more at ease. Such a reaction and arrangement were worthy of Yue Zhongqi's identity as the commander of the large army.

"kill!"

Le Jin led the charge and charged directly into the camp with the Xiaoguo Guards. The blessing brought by the distorted reality allowed the Xiaoguo Guards to perform beyond expectations in this small-scale melee where they had not yet formed an organization.

The speed and agility beyond the reach of normal soldiers, the almost illegal reaction speed, coupled with the strength that was difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist, put the Qing army at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation based on tents.

"Rain of arrows suppresses."

Even with such a great advantage, Yu Jin was not at all proud and complacent, and continued to calmly command his mixed headquarters to counterattack.

Different from other officers' exclusive headquarters which were filled with the personal style of the commander-in-chief, Yu Jin's legion was more like a real legion, with each branch of the army deployed very evenly, and even a cavalry legion of 1,500 men.

Compared with the exclusive legions of others, it is more like the troops of an orthodox commander. The various arms cooperate with each other and can deal with any situation.

The rain of arrows successfully suppressed the opponent's scattered formation, making it easier for Le Jin's army to advance.

The almost illegal individual qualities of Le Jin's army allowed them to achieve an amazing, almost crushing effect in the chaos of battle, even without the cooperation of other legions. With the cooperation of Yu Jin, they were even more powerful.

But when almost the entire rear camp was captured, Yu Jin began to worry inexplicably.

Something is wrong. Something is still wrong.

The other party's initial reaction was quick, but the subsequent response was quite rigid, as if it had been predicted.

"not good!"

"Chen Dao, shoot down that ball of light in the sky for me!" Yu Jin suddenly raised his head.

Something is interfering with their thinking, their senses are being deceived, and what they are seeing now is definitely not real.

"Break it for me!"

Hearing Yu Jin's order, Chen Dao roared and made a spear-throwing motion, and the white light was completely concentrated in his hand.

That brilliant and glorious will gathered together and turned into a spear of light about three feet long.

"Let me go!"

Chen Dao ignored the Qing soldiers rushing towards him. He gathered all his strength and threw the dazzling spear of light towards the ball of light in the sky.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and a dazzling glow burst out from the point where the two collided, and the projected spear of light seemed to hit an invisible barrier.

"I hereby declare that this attack will definitely succeed!"

Chen Dao roared to the sky, and the white light on the entire legion suddenly dimmed.

Along with this roar, a crisp sound appeared in the sky.

Then the light shattered, and Yu Jin's face instantly became extremely ugly.

The ground, which was originally empty, suddenly became crowded with figures. At this moment, with Le Jin's sudden appearance, the people on the opposite side were slowly approaching them.

It was as if there was a huge pocket that was about to put them right in, and just now, they almost fell into it.

"All forces, attack fiercely!"

Yue Zhongqi gave the order loudly, and the moment the ball of light shattered, he knew that the other side had discovered him.

We were so close to completing the encirclement, but unfortunately we failed at the last moment.

At this time, it doesn’t matter whether you hide or not. You will gain something if you can bite off a piece of meat from the other party.

"It's really deliberate!"

Yu Jin felt a little disappointed. The other side was really trying to make the enemy arrogant. If it weren't for Guo Jia's arrangement, their elite troops would have appeared together.

If only Chen Dao or Le Jin had come to attack today, they would probably have been wiped out here.

But fortunately, they are fully staffed today.

"Le Jin, Chen Dao, attack the two wings. There are cavalry outside to support us!"

"Leave it to me to deal with it head on!" Yu Jin roared and ordered.

"Yue Zhongqi, got it!"

Yu Jin looked in the direction of Yue Zhongqi, and the two commanders had already locked onto each other's positions at the first moment.

With a sneer, Yu Jin did not forget Guo Jia's arrangement. He took out the silk book from his arms and shot an arrow at Yue Zhongqi.

Afterwards, Yu Jin ignored Yue Zhongqi's reaction and directly began to command the mixed corps to advance and take over the vacancy left by Le Jin's breakout.

Retreating directly would mean certain death, and only by striking the enemy head-on would there be a chance of survival.

"Guards, get up there!"

One after another, huge shields were held up by the burly guards, and at the same time, a large formation of densely packed spears followed closely behind them.

There was a flash of fear in Yue Zhongqi's eyes. Yu Jin's command was as smooth as mercury flowing on the ground. He was definitely a tough enemy.

He was not in a hurry to open the silk book shot by Yu Jin, but threw it to the guard beside him. No matter what was on it, it was not something he, a commander, should be distracted by at the moment.

He stared intently at the changes in Yu Jin's battle line. It was obvious that he had encountered a sudden and unexpected change, but in the process of forming the formation, there was no hesitation at all, as if everything was going according to plan.

What was even more amazing was the reaction of the soldiers on the opposite side. Yue Zhongqi could feel the calmness and confidence of the soldiers on the opposite side. It was obvious that the other side had enough confidence.

This was not only a reflection of Yu Jin's ability, but also their confidence in their own combat effectiveness. The Xinghan Army was indeed powerful, and his previous caution was right.

However, admiration is undeniable, Yue Zhongqi also carried out his command calmly. If the encirclement offensive was cut off by the enemy, then they would defeat the enemy's central army head-on.

Dense swarms of arrows burst out, even though the opponent did not seem to be able to be shaken by the arrows.

But three rounds of arrows before the battle were more like a signal to declare war.

"Ding-ling-clang~" The sound of arrows bouncing off the steel plates.

All the guards stood there like iron towers, without any movement or counterattack.

But that tall figure wrapped in armor, standing indifferently on the spot, deflecting the rain of arrows and standing in place, made all the Qing soldiers in front feel heavy pressure. Are we going to fight this monster?

After several waves of arrows failed to achieve any results, the recruits led by the elite backbone had become a little disheartened. This seemed like an enemy they could not handle. How could they fight them?

However, these drills made them subconsciously follow the elite backbone to launch the charge. Military orders are as heavy as mountains, and they knew very well what the consequences would be if they disobeyed them.

These days, there are more than one or two people who have been killed as a warning to others.

Yue Zhongqi frowned slightly. The mentality of these new recruits who had been training for many days was really bad.

He also knew that the worst army was one driven by fear.

But this is already the best battlefield he can prepare. As long as he wins this battle, these new recruits will be reborn, and then he will have more capital to continue moving north.

Yue Zhongqi was somewhat dissatisfied when he thought of this. He could obviously have been allocated more troops, but Agui and the other two relied on their Manchu identity to forcibly deprive him of most of his troops.

This made him feel restricted and unable to move at all.

You know, what he is best at is large-scale troop operations, and between 200,000 and 400,000 troops is his most comfortable command range.

However, even though he had the intention to complain, Yue Zhongqi immediately stopped the spread of this idea.

Things like literary inquisition are not just talk.

The distance of fifty steps was reached in a flash. When the two sides were within ten steps, the guards naturally picked up the short spears hanging on their waists and rushed forward with roars. They had no intention of targeting the elite backbones, but killed the new recruits.

It is only natural that a force driven by fear would be consumed by even deeper fear.

It was only Zhang Fei who was standing here, otherwise Zhang Fei would make Yue Zhongqi understand that fear is a sharp double-edged sword.

At such a close distance, the guards' short spears, thrown straight out, even had enough power to kill another unarmored recruit after piercing the first one.

The powerful short spear thrown out by pure force pierced the opponent, and the blood in front of him dyed the area red.

The gap between the guards at the level of the Royal Guards and the recruits with only one talent is so big that even the guards who are not good at attacking can easily become invincible.

However, the purpose of the recruits with only talent in this battle is to be cannon fodder.

When the imperial guards threw a wave of explosive shots to shatter the new recruits, the elite backbone of the Qing army had already rushed to the front of the imperial guards.

The moment the iron bone flower hit the guard's shield, the shock wave was instantly transmitted along the shield into the guard's body.

However, the guard who took the fierce attack head-on did not even shake his body.

After being stunned for a moment, the Qing army centurion reacted faster than the imperial guards. Then he suddenly exerted force and smashed Tieguduo towards the opposite side with even more powerful force.

However, the guards, who had already understood the nature of their opponents, retreated directly behind the large shield, using the steel layer on the shield to directly withstand the opponent's attack. They held the handles with both hands, stepped forward with their front legs, and pressed down with their hind legs to make a parrying movement.

As elite veterans under Yu Jin, they have extensive combat experience. Maybe they are not too good in close combat, but in defense and parrying, they are so good that people will be amazed.

Carrying heavy armor, they naturally understood that their natural enemies were those offensive units that could ignore their defense, so they had already carried out targeted reinforcements.

The second powerful blow was indeed effective. The guards' internal organs were shaken and their movements were deformed. However, the guards who had already made a parrying move did not fall down.

The battlefield is never a place where a single type of soldier can run rampant. When the Qing army centurion wanted to launch a third attack, several spears suddenly shot out from behind the guards.

The spiral gun tip, with its spiral force, pierced through the Qing centurion's armor in an instant and lifted him up.

The embarrassed guard grinned and waved his shield, then smashed it hard on the Qing centurion's head.

The Imperial Guards cannot use concussion attacks, but at the same time, the Qing army centurions do not have the Imperial Guards' super strong defense.

The overweight shield combined with the powerful arms of the guards knocked the centurion so hard that he saw stars. Before he could recover, he was pierced through the vitals by the spear and fell down limply.

The heavy crossbowman following behind the royal guards had already picked up the high-powered single-arrow crossbow hanging on his waist.

After the recruits were hit by the spears, they were shocked by the terrifying killing power. There was a noticeable disconnect between them and the elite backbone, so they replaced their crossbows with powerful single-arrow crossbows.

This kind of high-powered arrow is used to deal with these elite backbones wearing armor.

The power is so strong that if it hits the vital point, it can even kill the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with one shot. Even if the internal energy leaves the body and the cloud energy is not activated, it is possible to seriously injure the opponent.

Of course, the disadvantages of this thing are endless. Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to master the Upper Rank, it takes a lot of time for two people, and it is completely disposable on the battlefield.

The second problem is that it is very easy to break down. Generally, we can only guarantee that there will be no problems with the first three shots, and the rest is left to fate.

The elite backbone of the Qing army at the front showed no fear at all. The result of the first round of fighting had made both sides clearly aware of each other's characteristics.

The elite backbones holding bone flowers had no fear at all. They only needed to be careful about the attacks of the spearmen. The guards were just sandbags for them to be beaten unilaterally.

But when they got closer.

"Bang~" There was a sound of leather exploding. The strong recoil force even made the crossbow soldier's hands tremble.

These armored elite soldiers who specialize in strong attacks have enough defense to ignore ordinary arrows, but they are no different from paper in front of such a powerful crossbow.

One shot penetrated and left a hole, a hole as big as the tip of a gun.

A smile appeared on Yu Jin's face. This scene was a template he had rehearsed countless times. His exclusive mixed corps was not comparable to any ordinary mixed corps.

Each of their tactics has been honed over and over again.

Faced with this series of tactics, the mixed new and old offensives were completely useless. These elite backbones who were attacked head-on by powerful crossbows fell down directly no matter how strong they were.

Yue Zhongqi's expression remained unchanged. The stronger the other party showed, the more he felt that his caution was justified.

Otherwise, who would he use all these methods for? (End of this chapter)
