Chapter 199 Battle against Li Dingguo

Gao Yihuan looked up into the distance, and a large number of people in front of him came from the wild.

The local bandits on both sides saw a large number of figures in yellow scarves appearing on the horizon, and they fell silent after walking a mile in front of the battle.

Now, since they are on the side of the Shun Army, the heroes first regard themselves as part of the Shun Army and hope that the Shun Army can win the battle.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xianzhong to rise again, that is, he captured Wuchang in more than half a year.

Although he used his prestige among the thieves to attract many thieves to join him, and after absorbing many old thieves, the army's combat power is not bad, but the thieves have no logistics system and no armor manufacturing, so the soldiers and horses The appearance is really average.

From a distance, everyone saw that there were not many armored soldiers, and the soldiers were all dressed in tatters. The only uniform mark was the yellow scarf on their heads.

The local bandits saw that there were not as many people as themselves, and the equipment seemed to be not very good. They were not as bright as General Gao, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

This gave everyone a little bit of confidence, and looked at the Western Army dragging forward with contempt.

"That's not too many people!" Wang Tizhong looked at the western army coming from afar, they came in a steady stream, stopped one mile away from the front of the formation, and there were less than 2 people.

"General, we are going to make meritorious service today!" The general said with a smile.

None of these people knew who Li Dingguo was. Gao Yihuan reminded them, but it seemed to have no effect.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked towards the Western Army, and saw a big flag standing in the crowd, which was very eye-catching.

Gao Yihuan took a closer look. Under the big red banner, there was a mighty general with an iron gun. He was majestic and majestic.

At that moment, the soldiers behind him all straightened their backs, and the team looked extraordinarily elite and fearsome.

For this battle, Gao Yihuan had at least three scenarios in mind.

In the first case, Li Dingguo saw that his soldiers and horses were strong, so he gave up fighting and withdrew south to Wuchang.

In the second case, when the two armies clash, he repels Li Dingguo, or draws a tie.

The third situation is that Li Dingguo cannot be defeated, and he hastily withdrew to Xiangyang.

Of these three situations, Gao Yihuan most hoped for the first one, followed by the second one, and the most helpless one was the third one.

At this time, he cheered up his subordinates and got all the soldiers on their horses. He just wanted to bluff and frighten Li Dingguo so that he would retreat in spite of difficulties.

While Gao Yihuan was waiting in formation, on the other side, soldiers of the Western Army were quickly setting up their formation.

The Western Army was dominated by infantry, with only a thousand cavalry. The infantry quickly formed their formation, while Bai Wenxuan rode forward on horseback.

Suddenly he saw a large number of cavalry in the middle of the Shun army formation, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that he might be mistaken, he looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but whispered, "So many cavalry?"

Bai Wenxuan was a little startled, he pulled the reins of his horse, returned to the formation, and said to Li Dingguo, "General, there are three thousand cavalry in the Chuangjun army."

In recent years, Li Zicheng has developed much better than Zhang Xianzhong, but the forward only has a few thousand cavalry, which still surprised Li Dingguo.

Riding on the horse, Li Dingguo took out a binoculars, pulled out the lens tube, put it in front of his eyes, and scanned the front of the army.

Among the intruding soldiers and horses are thousands of cavalry, and everyone is wearing armor, and they are silent. They are indeed the elite of the Shun army.

On both sides of the cavalry, there are all infantry, and the ones near the middle are not bad, but the more they get to the edge, the more chaotic the troops and horses, Li Dingguo couldn't help showing a sneer.

Seeing Li Dingguo put down the binoculars, Bai Wenxuan licked his lips, "General, it seems that they are indeed Li Zicheng's elite soldiers. Shall we continue to fight?"

Li Dingguo put the binoculars away, and said to several people: "Naturally, we must fight, and we must fight to break the army!"

Seeing that Li Dingguo had made up his mind, Bai Wenxuan couldn't help saying: "General, the intruders have twice as many horses and three times as many cavalry as us. How should we fight this battle?"

Li Dingguo smiled, "Although there are many intruders and horses, there are not many real elites, only the cavalry in the middle."

"The general means to directly attack the front and defeat the Chuangjun cavalry. Will the Chuangjun be defeated?" Bai Wenxuan worried: "General, those who can ride horses are all elites. They have more than 3000 cavalry. We are afraid that it will be difficult for us to win."

"That's true!" Li Dingguo nodded, and then smiled contemptuously: "I don't know who the general of the Chuang army is. He put up such a bad formation and placed the cavalry in the center instead of the two wings. This general fought so badly." I have never seen such a stupid person in many years of fighting."

Gao Yihuan also had no choice, the infantry was unreliable, and there was no one trustworthy to serve as the central army, so he could only stand in the middle by himself.

Of his 200 soldiers, although everyone was on horseback, there were actually only [-] cavalry, and the rest were infantry on horseback.

Li Dingguo didn't know this, so when he saw Gao Yihuan's formation, he felt like an idiot.

At this time, Li Dingguo raised his whip in his hand and pointed to the front, "Chuangjun put the cavalry in the middle, which completely restricted the cavalry's ability to maneuver and harass, so they could only charge forward. I will not charge him directly, so even if he wins Even if we don’t, we can’t annihilate this Chuangjun.”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo suddenly became serious, and said loudly: "Although there are many people and horses on the two wings of the Chuangjun army, they are mobs. According to the general's order, the infantry on the left and right wings are ready to press on, and the cavalry drivers outflank. here."

Li Dingguo's plan is to defeat Gao Yihuan's left and right wings first, then outflank Gao Yihuan, and finally surround Gao Yihuan.

"Hey, general, the Chuang army is moving first." Li Dingguo had just finished giving the order, when Bai Wenxuan suddenly pointed at the Chuang army formation and said.

Gao Yihuan has been watching the movement of the western army on the opposite side, and seeing the western army and horses quickly deploying, he knows that Li Dingguo cannot be frightened.

Li Dingguo didn't want to fight, so there was no need to form a formation. After the cavalry was cut off, the infantry retreated south. Since he formed a formation, it meant that he wanted to fight.

Gao Yihuan took advantage of the fact that the local bandits didn't know how powerful Li Dingguo was and when their morale was high, he ordered the local bandits to attack.

Li Dingguo looked up and saw that the people on the two wings of the army had already started to attack.They started walking slowly, carrying big knives and spears, like strolling in a garden, and then gradually accelerated to run.

Relying on the large number of people and the support of Gao Yihuan, the local bandits rushed forward with ferocious faces and full of murderous intent. More than 2 people rushed forward without any rules, and the sound of running was like thunder, which was shocking.

Li Dingguo saw this with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and when he saw the Chuangjun rushing to kill him, he immediately grabbed the iron and shouted sharply: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, the plan remains unchanged, I will kill you!"

The battle flags of the Western Army were waved, and the horns sounded. The soldiers of the Western Army on both sides suddenly roared and rushed to meet the Shun Army.
