The next day, the weather was clear, and the soldiers got up early to prepare for dinner, for fear of being disturbed.

After dinner and packing up, the army divided into various units to continue moving forward. Li Zhe organized the elite troops in his hands, patrolled along the road, and was always ready to fight. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of the cavalry again.

The brigade moved forward slowly and headed towards the enemy. At noon, he finally met the enemy.

From the wide field, a few rovers appeared first, spreading a loose net, covering it from the front. When I got closer, I only cruised around the periphery, which was obviously a loss from the crossbowman yesterday.

Then, after the cavalry, a large group of infantry appeared, and under the cover of the cavalry, they slowly formed a formation. This army is indeed worthy of being the subordinate of Liu Biao of Jingzhou. The armor and weapons on them are only stronger than Cao Ren, and some of them are actually armored.

A pair of iron armor consumes dozens or hundreds of kilograms of iron. This is a luxury equipment that Li Zhejun does not have today. Most of the other princes are equipped with generals with more than a hundred generals. It seems that the wealth of Jingzhou is indeed well-known. Li Zhe looked at it from afar and was also surprised.

Xu Shu next to him came up and said:

"Liu Jingsheng was in power, and he did have some tricks. He treated scholars well, established education, and prospered the economy. All the wealthy families in Jingzhou had a large number of blacksmiths who fled from the Central Plains, and made a large number of iron armor and equipment in the army. In addition to the years, except for the evil with Jiangdong, Jingzhou had no more military affairs. The Jingzhou army was the most complete among the princes today."

Li Zhe nodded and praised:

"Haha! Yes, Liu Jingsheng is indeed extraordinary. He has worked diligently for nearly ten years to live in the people's livelihood, but he has raised a big piece of fat!" Looking back, he and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled.

While chatting and laughing, the soldiers of Li Zhejun's battalions had already spread out. Under the scrutiny of the enemy cavalry around him, they were still busy following the rules. The Qujunhou shouted loudly and commanded their subordinates to slowly spread into square formations.

Among these militias, due to insufficient equipment, most of them were spearmen. The ratio of spearmen and strong crossbowmen in the formation reached an astonishing four to one ratio. One by one, one by one, among the five hundred people, the internal strong crossbows were arranged neatly, forming huge square formations.

At this moment, the hard training every day has now become a mechanical movement. Under the command of the Junhou, every militia in the square formation has become an ordinary member of the large square formation, numbly obeying the orders of the Junhou. Change direction, line up, and advance, like an arm and finger, every movement is meticulous, even extremely rigid.

Wen Pin, the general of Jingzhou Army, was on the opposite side at this time, watching the change from afar, and was shocked.

When did he see such a military formation? Ten thousand people were like one while they were marching, and the formation was changed under the siege of the enemy, without any hindrance. Seeing the long snake formation being divided into one square formation bit by bit, the formation of thousands of troops was not scattered at all. Although his movements were suspected of being heavy and dull, the discipline and control of this team were only seen in his life.

For a moment, he could not tell the enemy's combat effectiveness. With his years of experience in the army, he could not give a clear conclusion. This was completely different from the fighting style of the two armies in the entire Three Kingdoms era. It completely subverted his war experience. This shock was inevitable.

But even so, Wen Pin was not afraid. Since ancient times, this battle formation has not been just a matter of not fighting. If we can win a battle by just setting up a formation, we would not need to meet each other. We just practice the formation transformation. How could there be thousands of exquisite changes on the battlefield over the past thousand years? In the battle between the two armies, they still have to talk about swords and guns.

Wen Pin is full of confidence in the elite soldiers he trained by his subordinates, otherwise he would not have gone north to Nanyang and come to seize Cao Cao's territory. Even if the enemy is Cao Cao, he would dare to fight against the enemy, let alone just a civilian army without armor. What's the point of being a mere crossbowman?

He looked ahead and raised his right hand high. The generals behind him began to change their orders frequently. As he waved his gesture, the horn sounded, and the Jingzhou army first launched an attack.

Woo ———

Amid the long sound of horns, the rangers gathered into two, divided into Li Zhejun's formation on both sides, moving slowly to find opportunities for assault.

On the front, the 500 iron-armored infantry of the Jingzhou army began to move forward slowly, with a thousand swords and shields behind them. As they marched, the sound of iron-armored soldiers collided with each other, which was amazing. From the beginning, Wen Pin felt that he was a strong army on his side. These 500 iron-armored infantry were so amazing. Even a huge hammer in his hand, he would smash any hard body with one blow, and the winner would be decided in a short time!

In the army here, Li Zhe was holding a telescope and watching from a distance.

"Not bad! Five hundred iron armor is very valuable. Let's continue to give the order, put the enemy at a distance of fifty meters before firing!" He was a little worried after all.

No! The communication soldier quickly took out the walkie-talkie, adjusted the frequency, and issued an order to the Qujunhoushou in the first formation below.

Then, the first wave of six square formations began to adjust before the battle. Looking at the enemy head-on, the spearmen in the front row squatted down slowly, pressed the gun rod with their calves, and held them with trembling hearts. Cold sweat broke out in their hands. The powerful crossbowmen occasionally checked the tight bowstrings in their hands and the crossbow arrows ready to go on. The cold and cold light could help alleviate the horror in their hearts.

"Brother Yanzi! My hands are sweating so hard that I can't hold the gun. What should I do?" The militia brother said anxiously, trying hard to hold the gun. His voice was trembling a little when he said this.

But Brother Yan Zi ignored him, held a long knife in his hand, and walked over rows of soldiers arrogantly.

"Stay, keep it steady! How to practice on weekdays, how to practice now, it's just a small battle. I know the virtues of the Jingzhou Army, I am very soft! I, Swallows, are from Jingzhou. Brothers! Don't look at them riding horses and wearing iron armor, they will be of no use in front of the powerful crossbows in our hands. At that time, the spearmen brothers will resist the formation, and the crossbowmen brothers shoot in a burst, and these Jingzhou soldiers will be finished! This iron armor is ours.

We are the soldiers in the hands of the Heavenly Master! He has added magic to everyone. Brothers, look back, is the Heavenly Master looking at us from behind?"

Brother Yan Zi was motivated, and the soldiers immediately felt a little cold and warmed up again. Looking back, on the tall cart behind, it was not the Tianshi who was watching everyone with a cliff eyes!

Suddenly, an indescribable heat flowed out from the chest and abdomen, and rushed to the foreheads of the militia!

The Heavenly Master is mighty! Long live the Heavenly Master!

It started from somewhere, but at first it was just a few sounds, but later it was a few pieces, and in a blink of an eye, the shouts of militia resounded throughout the sky!
