Seeing the white cavalry coming out of the camp, more than ten monks and barbarian cavalry dispersed and fled.
The two probing horses ran into the camp without any danger.
"Commander, we were hiding in the mulberry forest about twenty miles south of the city. At dawn, we suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the southeast. I climbed to the top of the tree and saw that there were broken soldiers all over the mountains and fields... there were thousands of them.
, fled from the southeast to the west, all wearing khaki linen... some were wearing armor, and some were riding horses..."
Tang Qi panted and reported urgently, "Subsequently hundreds of Hu Qi pursued them, and south of the city, there were nearly a thousand monks and thieves who blocked them..."
A defeated soldier wearing native jute cloth?
These are clearly officers and soldiers... It's not that the imperial court intends to unify, but yellow linen is the most convenient, and the hemp stalks are dried in the sun, which is this khaki color.
When he started the army, Li Chengzhi never expected that there would be nearly ten thousand or even thousands of soldiers under his command. So when he first started making armor, the cloth covering it was all made of wool felt.
.
Later, when the number of soldiers increased, felt was no longer enough, so linen could only be used. But the bells and whistles were too ugly, so Li Chengzhi asked Song Lishen to spend more time soaking them, and made the linen used for sewing Zha armor.
The uniform white color of the sheep felt later gave it the title of "White Armor Army".
Otherwise, they would be wearing jute just like the officers and soldiers...
Where did the officers and soldiers in the southeast come from?
Xi Kangsheng or Li Yun?
There were thousands of defeated troops, so the scale of this battle was definitely not small, and it was definitely a defeat.
Maybe it will still be a big defeat...
Li Chengzhi's face looked a little ugly, and he instinctively turned around and looked at Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu.
These two were worse than him, their faces were already as dark as the bottom of a pot, especially Yang Shu, even his beard started to tremble...
Forget it, I guess these two don’t know as much as I do.
Li Chengzhi pondered for a while: There were many defeated troops, and there were also cavalry. The rebels would definitely not be able to encircle them if they did not have ten times the number. Sooner or later, officers and soldiers would flee to the vicinity of Baijia Camp.
As long as you pick up a few people and bring them back to the camp, you will know everything once you ask them.
In addition, you must also be prepared to be outflanked by the enemy... It's not that scary, there aren't too many ways to deal with it, but it's more troublesome and more passive than facing a head-on battle...
Li Chengzhi looked at his generals and made an instant decision: "Huangfu Rang, lead your headquarters out of the camp, starting from the main camp and extending twenty miles south to block the enemy's cavalry...
Li Zhao, lead your car camp, follow the cavalry, and gather the officers and soldiers... You two must remember not to go deep, let alone fight. If you are defeated or something unexpected happens, withdraw your troops immediately. If you are entangled, burn smoke as a warning... <
/p>
Li Shi led his Tangqi troops to the south to investigate... First find out where this group of defeated troops came from, where the war broke out, and then how they were defeated... But if there is news, report it quickly..."<
/p>
The three of them responded in unison and ran away.
"Li Song, lead the Jiazi battalion to defend the camp, Li Liang, lead the other three battalions to follow me to fight, Li Feng, lead the rest of the cavalry to plunder the formation..."
Seeing that Li Chengzhi seemed to have finished giving the order and was about to fight, the sweat on Hu Baozong's head was almost falling.
It's been like this every time. No matter how weak the Black Armored Battalion is, they are still officers and soldiers, so they are still stronger than the rebels on the opposite side, right?
"What about me, what about me?" He came forward anxiously.
"You?" Li Chengzhi frowned and sighed, "Become a Chinese Army!"
"Chinese Army, haha..." Hu Baozong burst into laughter.
Idiot...
Li Chengzhi cursed secretly and shouted coldly: "Get out of the camp!"
What is the Chinese Army?
According to common practice, it naturally refers to the unit with the strongest combat power and the most capable soldiers in an army.
Once a war begins, the flag guard of the commander of the first army, the golden drum flag formation, and the commander himself must also be within the Chinese army, otherwise the commander's tent will not be called the Chinese army's big tent.
At the same time, it also means that the Chinese army will generally not move until a decisive battle or a life-or-death situation.
If you think about it, you will know that even the coach and the Golden Drum Flag Formation are about to charge. This shows how critical the situation is?
Hu Baozong only thought that Li Chengzhi would finally reuse him this time, and he never turned this corner.
It's not that Li Chengzhi doesn't want to use Hu Baozong, but that he doesn't dare to use it.
Just look at the movements in the enemy camp and you will know that the rebels this time are definitely serious. No matter how strong the White Armored Army is, it is an indisputable fact that its military strength is inferior to the rebels.
Therefore, if Li Chengzhi wants to take a breather, he must work hard to kill the rebels' arrogance all at once, so that they will be painful and scared, so that they dare not reach out randomly.
It is simply unrealistic to rely on Hu Baozong's black-armored soldiers, so Li Chengzhi must first send out the strongest combat force.
Secondly, Li Chengzhi is also worried about changes, just in case.
For example, if enemy troops suddenly appeared from other places, Hu Baozong would have no choice but to attack them.
His worries are not unfounded. You can see it just by looking at it now: there are so many broken soldiers fleeing before it is even bright, and the battlefield will most likely not be too far away.
But the question is, the enemy camp on the opposite side is gathering a large army, preparing to attack you, so who is it that defeated the officers and soldiers?
Li Chengzhi wouldn't believe it if he said it was just relying on the four thousand horsemen.
In addition to the 10,000 left for Zhang Jingzhi, Xi Kangsheng in the middle route led an army of 30,000, and Li Yun in the south route led an army of 20,000, which is already 50,000 troops.
And there are at least five or six thousand cavalry among them. How come they can't even defeat four thousand Hu cavalry?
Something must have happened somewhere...
Hearing that he actually wanted to take the initiative to attack, Zhang Jingzhi asked in surprise: "Your military strength is inferior to that of the rebels, why don't you defend the stronghold?"
Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment: "The rebels may attack with fire, and then the wall will be destroyed. It will be too troublesome to repair..."
It doesn’t mean that Li Chengzhi is lying: On the one hand, the wall is difficult to repair, but the key is that the mines under the wall are difficult to bury.
Why did he dare to camp so close to Liu Huiwang’s face?
I just imagined that if one day I was defeated and the rebels came to attack, I would play a big game.
It’s not about how many people can be killed...
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Ma Long relied only on a few carts of magnets to make Bald Tree Function's tens of thousands of cavalry mistakenly think it was a miracle, and was defeated.
What if it were replaced by landmines?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At that time, there will be thunder in the sky and thunder on the ground. What a spectacular sight it will be?
Li Chengzhi doesn’t believe it, these miracles are no better than Liu Huiwang’s confusing words?
But until the last step, for example, when his own life is threatened, Li Chengzhi will never use it...
Zhang Jingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, suspecting that Li Chengzhi was not telling the truth, but he did not ask further questions. He just warned: "As long as you have an idea..."
"Don't worry, Sima!" Li Chengzhi nodded and said to the two of them, "Swords and arrows have no eyes. Sima and Duke Yanrong can just watch the battle in the camp... Li Cong, protect the two of you..."
Saying this, he clasped his fists again, mounted his horse and left the camp.
"You'd better shut up earlier. You haven't seen clearly in the past two months. Compared with using troops, he is only stronger than you and me... Instead of worrying about your good son-in-law, you should worry about Xi Kangsheng and Li Yun
..."
Yang Shu was not only angry, but also gritted his teeth with hatred: "An army of sixty thousand... It's amazing that we can fight to such an extent..."
Zhang Jingzhi sighed secretly: What's the use of saying these weird things?
He is obviously still resenting his suggestion to Xi Kangsheng and not letting Li Chengzhi take the lead...
"The situation is unclear. It's too early for Duke Yanrong to say this!" Zhang Jingzhi replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "It doesn't necessarily mean that Duke Xi or Li Jishi were defeated..."
Yang Shu sneered: "Haha...I'll wait and see..."
……
Following Li Chengzhi's order, the entire military camp started to move. From east to west, north and south, the gates of the eight gates of the camp were opened at the same time. Like a flood that has stopped the embankment, eight white streams poured out from the camp.
Among them, only a brigade of white cavalry from Huangfu Rang and a brigade of chariots from Li Zhao went south. The remaining three thousand infantry, a brigade of cavalry and a brigade of chariots all converged at the east gate in the blink of an eye, forming a
Huge military formation.
The drum formation of the Chinese army was already ready. As soon as Hu Baozong's black armor battalion left the village gate, the drum driver's flag car followed closely and placed the podium directly outside the east gate.
Looking at the opposite side, the rebels are still pouring out in a mess. Not to mention forming a formation, not even a third of them have left the camp?
Li Zun was already numb with shock.
He naturally knew that it was not that the rebels were too weak, but that the white-armored soldiers were too strong.
It only lasted two moments. If it were Xi Kangsheng's Zhenfu army, even if it was faster than the rebels in front of him, it would definitely not be faster than the White Armored Army...
Experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement.
As soon as Li Chengzhi came to the podium, he saw something strange at a glance: Li Wenxiao did not demolish the wall of the fortress, turn away the horses, let alone open a new gate of the fortress, but let the army only leave the camp through the west gate.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers. How big is that gate?
Only when you get up quickly can you see a ghost...
Of course, it can also be said that Li Wenxiao was afraid that suddenly removing his horses and camp walls might allow Li Chengzhi's white cavalry and chariots to take advantage of the loophole.
After all, it has only been a few days since the last battle, and the power of the white-armored soldiers' rockets seems to be still vivid in my mind...
But as soon as they left the village gate and directly ordered the army to form a formation near the village, Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
It feels like Li Wenxiao is nakedly saying: Come and attack, come and attack quickly, I will give you another big gift...
Could it be a scam?
But if he doesn’t give it a try, Li Chengzhi is really unwilling to miss out on a good opportunity.
He looked at Li Feng, then at Hu Baozong, gritted his teeth secretly, patted Hu Baozong on the shoulder, and pointed to the opposite side, "Did you see something was wrong?"
Hu Baozong stretched his neck and looked hard, with a confused look on his face: "Is there nothing wrong?"
Li Chengzhi's face darkened: Are you afraid that you are still drunk, so you can't even tell it so obviously?
Just as he was about to break through, he suddenly heard Li Liang exclaim in a low voice: "The rebels in formation actually blocked the wall?"
Only then did Hu Baozong react, his eyes bulging: If he blocked the wall, wouldn't he also block the heavy crossbows, stone cannons, and even the archers behind the wall?
What's more important is that, even after two moments, the rebels' front line is still in a mess, and they haven't even set up the most basic vehicle formation?
This is clearly Li Wenxiao creating opportunities for Li Chengzhi.
It feels so damn good to feel like I'm on the inside...
He exclaimed: "Then what are you waiting for?"
Both eyes looked straight at Li Chengzhi, almost saying: "Send me, send me..."
Bai Qi was taken away by Huangfu Rang with five hundred, and Li Shi took away another two hundred. Li Feng had less than four hundred left, so he was of no use at all.
We really can only send Hu Baozong’s black cavalry.
"You'd better forget it. I'm afraid you'll get drunk and fall off your horse before you get to the front of the formation..."
Li Chengzhi cursed in a low voice and shouted again: "Hu Xin!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead the black cavalry into the formation... Remember, it doesn't matter how many enemies you kill, as long as the enemy formation can be chaotic, the more chaotic the better..."
"Li Liang, lead the remaining chariots and troops, and bring all the remaining rockets. As soon as the enemy's formation is in chaos, rush forward and give me a hard burn..."
Afraid of the fire attack by the white-armored soldiers, and even more afraid of the white cavalry charging into the camp, the rebels sent heavy crossbows, stone cannons, chariots, and archers to the west wing, which is what Li Chengzhi saw in front of him.
As long as the enemy's long-range weapons can be set on fire, to Li Chengzhi, these more than 10,000 rebels are no different from tigers with their teeth pulled out...
Looking at the still chaotic enemy formation, Li Chengzhi's eyes gleamed.
Li Wenxiao, if we really succeed this time, why not let me decide and keep your bloodline?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a loud roar in my ears. I looked up and saw that Hu Xin had already moved out and ran out of the front army.
Li Liang has led 500 chariots and troops to stand in front of the formation, ready to go.
Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi had just climbed onto the watchtower, and they hadn't even had time to take a breath. Suddenly they heard a thunderous noise downstairs, and when they looked down, their pupils shrank sharply.
Thousands of black cavalry were like sharp arrows, slanting into the enemy formation...
As soon as Li Chengzhi left the camp, he launched an offensive, and the cavalry was dispatched?
Didn’t he never use cavalry to charge into battle?
