Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

In fact, before Zhang Kewang could make a decision, Zhang Xianzhong had already sent an old brother who had been with him for many years and was not low in status, and with his own token token, he set off from the old camp on horseback and rushed to Cao Ying.

As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Xianzhong's reaction was much quicker than those of his adoptive sons after years of military service. He was also surprised by the equipment and fighting spirit of the soldiers in Dengzhou Town, as well as the uniformity of the ranks, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't have much time to click his tongue in admiration.

Long before Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Xianzhong saw the key to this campaign.

Zhang Kewang's camp is defended, the old camp is not lost, even if it suffers some losses, it doesn't matter, but the battalions in the western camp took the opportunity to cover up and kill them. Today is a pattern of annihilation battle.

Fighting with Zuo Liangyu, although every time the old Zuo fled watching the wind and lost his troops, Zhang Xianzhong knew in his heart that the old Zuo kept his strength at the critical moment and did not fight desperately, so what was injured was the skin, not the bones. In a little time, he will be able to recover. [

But today's situation is different. Dengzhou Town is putting on a desperate stance, the main force is pressing up, and attacking from the top, fighting the most difficult Xiying. This has created a situation where the outside is more important than the inside. It is possible that you will not be able to hold your own line of defense.

At such a critical time, as long as Cao Cao doesn't disagree, and is not soft at the critical moment, and puts all his belongings on the gambling table, today's battle will be won no matter what.

The sturdy war horses running in front of him, the armored stomachs shining like silver snakes in the sun, the iron spears with shining tips and the dark iron blunderbuss... these things, in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, turned into billowing Come the silver stream.

"General Zhenglu... Hey, General Zhenglu. After defeating Donglu, you probably think that there is no one in the world. I thought you were a man, but now it seems that you are just a arrogant rat. "

After finishing what should be done, overlooking the front soldiers are already dispatching to meet the enemy, and Zhang Kewang's dispatching is also in line with Zhang Xianzhong's mind... Sweeping the floor king is an old buddy, senior in the army, rich in battlefield experience, and many old buddies under his command.

In a difficult battle, this old man may play tricks and dodge his laziness. Now he is defending against the enemy, and it is considered meritorious if he defends for a while. The sweeping king will know how to choose between advances and retreats. , but at this critical moment, using it is much more reassuring than other parts.

"Ke Wang is getting more and more promising."

Zhang Xianzhong lifted his beard, grabbed the Nine Dragon Gold Cup he took out from the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and drank a big mouthful of wine. There were already many people gathered around him, Xu Yixian was the leader, and then Pan Dujiao and Zhang Dajing and others were all here. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming to attack, they were still worried at the beginning. Then they saw that the number of officers and soldiers was only a few thousand, and then they saw the flags of the battalions unfurled, and the flag officers were running around to pass orders. The feeling when seeing the mobilization of a team of more than 3 people also gave these literati staff strong confidence. When they saw Zhang Xianzhong drinking with a leisurely attitude and a calm expression, these literati calmed down even more. They rushed forward, flattered and flattered, good words flooded in, Zhang Xianzhong laughed and was very happy when he heard it.

Xu Yixian was much calmer. He had observed the longest. When he saw King Sweeping the Dirt leading thousands of elite soldiers to meet him, and the enemy in front of him was only a few hundred officers and soldiers, he couldn't help nodding, and secretly said: "This arrangement is not good. Bad, use these cunning veterans to hold back the officers and soldiers and dampen their spirits. Even if they lose the enemy, it will also give our battalions more time to dispatch. Zhang Kewang is indeed the best among the commander-in-chief's adopted sons. Quite appropriate."

Originally, he had planned to invite Zhang Xianzhong to inspect the teacher in person and go to the front line to command, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.However, just to be on the safe side, he still called Zhaoshou, called one of his confidantes over, and said in a low voice: "The mountain road I picked the day before yesterday, you take elite soldiers to guard there, and ignore everything else. You are only there to wait for my military order, you know?"

"Yes, the subordinates can save it."

Although I felt that Xu Yixian's arrangement seemed unnecessary, this confidant did not dare to neglect, and immediately agreed repeatedly... Xu Yixian personally chose a hidden road, deployed some elite soldiers to guard it, and at the same time put important items at a distance. In a very close place, if the battle is unfavorable, you can escape immediately.

This kind of arrangement was actually the usual technique of the peasant army battalions at that time. In less than ten years, there were many times when they lost battles. Only the leaders who would find a way out in advance and manage a few more escape methods for themselves survived. Those careless, Those who think too high may have long since disappeared in the torrent of history.

Xu Yixian's arrangement seemed to be timid and fearful, but Zhang Xianzhong obviously knew about it, so how could this old camp general dare to neglect?

Even so, Xu Yixian was not completely at ease, he called Zhang Nengqi, and gave instructions in a low voice, and Xu Yixian was not relieved until Zhang Nengqi also followed his orders with his elite troops.

After such a little effort, the vanguard of the officers and soldiers was already no more than [-] steps away from the subordinates of the Sweeping King. From the halfway up the mountain, they were almost separated by a line!

Everyone's breathing became a little serious. In this forced battle, it was obvious that the enemy was attacking the West Camp and killing the Old Camp. The target was the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong. At this time, when everyone looked at Zhang Xianzhong, But he saw Zhang Xianzhong with a calm expression, drinking with his beard raised.

"Respectful and handsome, not inferior to Xie An."

Before the sound of the clapper sounded, only the former military supervisor, Zhang Dajing, came in time to make such a flattery. [

The words hadn't finished yet, but the sound of clappers was heard first, and the sweeping king's flag was unfurled. Hundreds of soldiers and archers strode forward, and at an angle of elevation, they threw the first round of arrows in the direction where the officers and soldiers came. go out.

"Bows and arrows are coming, the first row, raise the shield!"

The current distance is [-] to [-] paces, and it has already entered the shooting range of the Fushan Firecracker. Of course, it is not the best range. For bows and arrows, this distance is a little farther, but Sweeping King is a very experienced As a general, he knew that it was more important to be the first to kill than to kill, so after the order of Die Sheng, the first round of arrow rain came ahead of schedule.

For the Fushan formation, it is much more mature than the current formation during the Jinan battle.

The first row of each row is full of shield soldiers, and each of them holds a five-foot-long shield in their hands. When the arrow rain strikes, they are the first to bear the brunt.

The bows and arrows at an elevated angle floated in the air for a while, and then fell down sparsely.The shield soldiers closest to them caught many and covered their brothers. The sword and shield soldiers in the front row all raised their shields, trying to cover the gunners as much as possible, and blocked the threatening bows and arrows for them.

As for the spearmen and iron halberd soldiers, that's up to them to go.

The musketeers and sword and shield soldiers are all in short armor, while each of the pikemen and iron halberd soldiers is wearing well-made heavy armor weighing [-] kilograms, and densely packed iron scales protect most of their bodies behind the armor stomach. Among them, this kind of sparse and weak arrow rain, separated by more than a hundred steps, could not pose any threat at all.

"Hold on, brothers!"

Li Yaowu is already the deputy officer of Team A. As a rising star in the army, Li Yaowu is famous for his spear skills in the army. More than half a year ago, there were challengers who came here almost every day. Waiting for Li Yaowu to use his own When strength overwhelmed the challengers one by one, his spear qualification and bravery finally convinced everyone and became the foundation of his promotion.

If it wasn't for his lack of qualifications, his prestige would be enough to be a deputy battalion officer.

He is also very satisfied with his current position. The first team of Fushan Camp was a legend, and now he is the deputy team officer and iron halberd team officer of team A. Li Yaowu is determined to continue this legend.

He was wearing a heavy armor. In addition to the standard long armor, there was a layer of very well-made chain mail on top of the close-fitting robe, and then the scale armor. Between the chest and abdomen, it was more than ordinary iron armor. There is also a huge bronze heart mirror, shining, with shoulders, shin guards between the legs, and very delicate iron gloves on the hands. On the helmet, there is a Iron mask.

Add up all these bits and pieces of the whole body, combined with two layers of heavy armor, it is a total of [-] catties of heavy armor!

This kind of heavy armor is not the officer's armor worn by his team officer. The normal officer's armor is made of expensive mountain armor. Every officer above the Fushan sentry level has a mountain armor worth several hundred taels. Li Yaowu wears it Yes, but there are at most two or three iron halberds in each row!

Wearing seventy-pound heavy armor and holding a heavy long iron halberd weighing more than ten kilos, the task he undertakes is to wear strong and sharp, as a striker, to open up space for the whole team, and finally win!

Although his marksmanship is excellent, Li Yaowu was one of the first batch of successful candidates who had passed the training of physical fitness and fighting skills after being trained and organized by iron halberds.Wearing seventy catties of armor, at least half an hour's walking time, and one who can swing hundreds of times at the same time can be considered qualified... Such a standard, the physical fitness required is of course very amazing, even if it is selected among Fushan soldiers, There are not many qualified candidates.

At this time, when the rain of arrows fell, Li Yaowu, the deputy commander and commander of the iron halberds, roared, and led all the spearmen and halberds around him to march bravely amidst the rain of arrows. OK.

When the arrows fell, they could only create a long stream of sparks under their heavy armor.

"Just use spearmen and iron halberds to break the formation?"

A young staff officer was walking beside Qu Rui at the same time. The battalion staff officer was assisted by the staff officer sent by the staff office to draw up the battle plan, the military order and training plan of the entire army, the enforcement of military laws, and logistics supplies. Everything has a special department To be responsible, on the battlefield, the only staff officer who can talk to the chief officer and make suggestions at any time.

The staff officer felt that the battalion general was a little crazy, and those halberds and gunmen in iron armor who rushed forward with roars were more like Crazy armored monsters! [
