golden scales

For soldiers standing at the forefront, the most difficult moments are before and after encountering the enemy.Once the soldiers meet, life and death are instantly clear.After being drilled by Min Zhanlian, all the soldiers of the Donggong Guard Battalion cherished their strength like gold, and they would not spit out their strength until they could kill the enemy with one blow, and never wasted a single bit of physical energy.

There are quite a few such people in the camp, but they have not been instructed by an expert, but simply because they have experienced many battles and naturally summed up the experience and lessons-no matter how hard they work, they must leave some energy to escape.As long as soldiers who can survive three or five wars, their psychological quality is beyond comparison with ordinary people.

The East Palace Guards Battalion lacked experience, but their strengths lay in the abundance of skill training, as well as the individual soldiers' strong physical fitness and strong will to fight.In the face of the elite who broke into the camp, if you don't lose your momentum, you won't be smashed by the bandits.In fact, many officers and soldiers were not incapable of killing, but because they lost their courage, they were chased and killed, and naturally suffered heavy casualties.As long as you always face the enemy, it is not easy to be killed by someone who has no scientific training.

Chen De had never seen the lengthy fight between two elite teams.In his impression, once the army formation is handed over, victory or defeat is an instant matter.

"It seems that these chief executives and captains understand what 'sticking' is." Zhu Cihong held up the binoculars, with a beating rhythm in his voice.

Chen De could also see that the guards of the Eastern Palace were saving their strength, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, wouldn't it be better to defeat them in one fell swoop?"

"If you only want to defeat, why bother." Zhu Cihong said: "I want to wipe out this group of bandits completely! You see, there are too many people here to form a formation, so the front of the bandits can't die, and the people behind can only die." Look at it. If you want to go up, you can't go up, if you want to retreat, you can't leave, and in the end you will only be dragged to death by our army."

It was only then that Chen De remembered that the bandit soldiers took advantage of the large number of people, and suddenly said to himself: It turns out that His Highness had already taken into account the weather, location and morale before sending out troops.If it weren't for being a prince, he would really be a general.If we fight a few more times, I'm afraid it will be more powerful than my father's fighting!

He straightened his position and asked for advice: "Your Highness, what if the enemy soldiers forcefully withdraw?"

"It's a thousand miles away." Zhu Cihong replied simply, and looked up at the sky: "It's getting dark."

Sunrise and sunset are the times when the sky changes the fastest, changing the world inadvertently.With the sound of war drums and the sound of horns, the last ray of sky light was completely wiped out.In the darkness, only a vague figure could be seen vaguely.The bandit soldiers were obviously not used to fighting in this environment, and the already scattered formation faintly showed signs of collapsing. More and more bandit soldiers fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were injured or pretended to be dead and refused to fight in the dark.

The combat power of the Eastern Palace Guards Battalion was affected to a limited extent, as long as they stood in their combat positions, they would be acquaintances in front, back, left, and right.You don't need to look at it at all, you just need to listen to the familiar panting and roaring of tigers, and you will feel at ease.As for the figures outside the formation, there is no need to see them clearly, as long as the weapons greet them.

"Beat the drum! The whole army presses up! Enter the flag!" Zhu Cihong ordered loudly.

The drums were loud, and the guards of the Chinese army also advanced along with the big banner. Chen De subconsciously reached out to grab the bridle of Zhu Cihong's mount, but he missed it, almost caught Zhu Cihong's body, and retracted his hand in fright.Zhu Cihong glanced back at him, drew out his saber, and shouted: "The whole army, kill the enemy!"

……

"Keep the formation! Kill!" Liu Laosi was riding on the horse, not wearing his triple armor, not holding his rattan badge, but holding a flag gun, which made him very uncomfortable.

Until he heard thunderous drums and horns in the air, he immediately understood that it was the defenders in the city who were fighting, and they had already fought against the intruders.As the forward of the forward battalion, Liu Laosi did not have any hesitation, but was afraid of being robbed of the first merit by those "heavy soldiers" in the left camp.

——His grandma's, I don't know who dared to take Lao Tzu's first battle over there!Let Lao Tzu see it, and I will spit on him!

Liu Laosi clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and there was another burst of pain from the wound.Grinning his teeth, he shouted loudly: "Don't lose to those heavy soldiers! Let's kill them!"

Behind him came the sound of the war drum ordered by She An, which added to Liu Laosi's fighting spirit. He really wanted the horse to run faster and wished he could run to the front.It's a pity that he has only learned how to ride a horse for a short time, and it is not easy to make the horse go so fast at such small steps.

……

"General! The officers and soldiers behind have also come!" The messenger rushed into Liu Zongmin's big tent and hurriedly reported. "Let's..." He raised his head, swallowing all the rest of the words in fright.

At this moment, Liu Zongmin's beard stood up one by one, his eyes were blood red, like a beast that was hungry and thirsty and wanted to devour the living.

"Why the hell can't stand it!" Liu Zongmin shouted: "Take my clothes! I will personally supervise the battle!"

——These are not the officers and soldiers I encountered before.

The orderly was frustrated.He had seen the situation on the front line. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side had bright armor and sharp swords and spears, which were completely different from the Ming army he had seen before.As a bandit soldier who used to be a part of the Ming army, the messenger knew very well that this Ming army had surpassed Cao's troops, and was even more terrifying than Lu Yanwang's Tianxiong army.

——It’s best to get an errand and leave this place.

he thought to himself.

"Quickly sneak back to Xiangcheng and report the defeat of our army to the marshal." Liu Zongmin regained his composure, and while putting on his clothes, he said: "Please take precautions against the Ming army here. The crown prince's words are probably just lies."

The messenger was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Even if my subordinates die, I must bring the general's words to the marshal!"

Liu Zongmin took a breath, took his big knife, and heard the neighing of the horse outside the tent, it was his old buddy who was born and died with him.He strode out of the military tent, pulled the bridle, got on the horse, and held up the long knife in his hand: "You guys! If you cut off a head, you will get five taels of silver! Come and get the silver!"

The Zhongquan personal guards let out a burst of shouting, each gearing up.They couldn't see the situation in front of them from behind, they just thought that there was nothing scary about these officers and soldiers fighting with auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands.Even if they were able to win for a while, they were only slightly stronger than soldiers, and they were still incomparable to the armored elite like myself.This kind of battle situation of winning first and then losing has been performed too much by officers and soldiers, so there is no need to worry about it.

However, when they rushed out of the gate with Liu Zongmin, carefully reining in the dark, they finally realized that they were wrong.These officers and soldiers advance and retreat with evidence, and there are not even scattered soldiers who are alone.They use spears as long soldiers and waist knives as short soldiers. They cooperate with each other, follow when they advance, and retreat when they retreat. They can't see any flaws at all.

On the contrary, the cavalry on their own side fell into the disadvantage in the attack of the pikemen. Before the saber hit the pawn's head, the sharp point of the spear had already aimed at the vital parts of the whole body and stabbed it.

——Are these officers and soldiers really!

Almost everyone had such doubts in their hearts, and only the last sliver of luck hung their beliefs so that they would not collapse on the spot.

When Niu Jinxing saw the officers and soldiers attacking from both sides, he felt timid and knew that the general situation was over.Immediately, he wrapped up his belongings, ordered his personal companions, and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go first."

"Aren't you going to speak to the general?" a follower with long eyes asked.

Niu Jinxing narrowed his eyes: "Yes, I have to tell General Liu so that he won't worry about us. Go and report to General, we'll wait for you at the gate."

The long attendant responded and walked out.

Niu Jinxing personally carried the package, which contained his golden seal from the advocacy camp, which he always carried with him.He took other entourages, found a few horses outside the tent, ran straight towards the direction where the shouts of killing were quieter, got out of the camp without stopping, and immediately identified the direction and ran to Liudian.

……

"The fight over there is almost over, we are still nesting here!" The sturdy man touched his frozen face, and lowered his voice to complain to a thin man beside him.

The thin man took out a fan from his arms, thought for a while and still didn't open it, just tapped his palm: "I guess he's going to leave here! Unless he can win."

"What if we really win!" the man raised his eyebrows.

"That means Daming is exhausted, let's go back to the Wuthering Mountain Forest and live a happy life of robbing the rich and helping the poor." The thin man said.

"Military teacher," a man covered in charcoal black approached, "You said before: If you watch the sky at night, the Liu bandits must leave here! Why are you softening now?"

The thin man who was called a military adviser waved his fan and knocked on it: "If you don't speak, will you be sold as dumb?"

"Big head! Someone is coming over there! There are horses, a dozen or so!" A voice from the front suppressed the joyful voice.

"Cough, cough, let's watch the sky at night..."

"Fart!" The chief got up from the ground: "We've been lying here for two days, and we've finally waited! Brothers, fuck you, fuck the fuck, give the prince a gift!"

"Wait!" The military adviser jumped up: "Xiao Donglou, you have to think about it. If you hug this litter of rabbits, Liu Zongmin's big fish might escape!"

The head of the family originally had only one eye, and when he saw the men and horses running from a distance, he couldn't see them clearly in the dark night of the moonlight. Is the nest rabbit hugged?"

"What kind of patience are you! You have been waiting for two fucking days, and you still have one night to go?" the military division cursed bitterly.

"Brothers are all overwhelmed." Hei Pi muttered.

"Go shit and pee if you can't hold it!" The military adviser scolded: "Stop spoiling our good deeds!"

"Wait," the head of the Cyclops lay on the ground again: "The fight is still going on over there. It seems that Liu Zongmin is not giving up, and he shouldn't run away so soon. We can stop this nest first, and then come back to ambush .”

"Are you a fool! Or do you think those people can be captured without a fight?" The military adviser said disapprovingly, "Where there has never been a fight, people can't see it?"

"Don't rush to fight." Cyclops touched the horrible scar on his face, and slapped Heipi's body: "You take two people down to stop those people, just say that they are nearby villagers who want to join the camp It is said that a group of officers and soldiers occupied Liudian first and led them up the mountain."

The military adviser rolled his eyes and coughed lightly: "Just look at those people running away so fast, they must not be stupid. If such a stupid plan can succeed, we will take your surname from now on."

"Although we are not a famous family, we are also a good and innocent family from generation to generation. Want to have my surname? It's not worth letting you take advantage of this!" Cyclops rebuffed straight away.

The military master blew on his beard angrily, and kicked Hei Pi up when he heard Hei Pi laugh silly.It's a pity that he was wearing a long gown, he kicked his hem, and the wind was so loud that the black skin fled away.

These people were originally thugs in the mountains, who were familiar with robbing houses and blocking roads for extortion.The black belt brought two brothers, both of whom only took the mallet, slid all the way down the mountain and waited by the side of the road.

After a while, a group of people and horses came galloping from the road.The leader occasionally looked back, as if afraid of someone chasing him from behind.

It's Niu Jinxing and his gang!

"Wait! Stop!" Heipi jumped out from the side of the road, waving the mallet and shouted.

Niu Jinxing saw that there were only two or three people, and there were no weapons in his hands. He made a false alarm, but refused to stop. He immediately shouted "drive", and galloped past with his entourage.

Heipi has rich experience in robbery, and immediately shouted in the local dialect: "There are officers and soldiers ahead!"

Hush!

The horse let out a long howl, was pulled by the rein abruptly, and stopped with small steps. (To be continued.)
