Zhang Xingyi had already gone around the city to report to Zhang Wei (Guo Cunxin’s father-in-law).
Li Chengzhi asked Zhang Wei to come forward to discuss with Jiang Rang. When Li's Ding soldiers attacked, try to let the defenders on the city cooperate to kill the enemy.
Even if Jiang Rang doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. If these rebels run away and come to harass or even take revenge next time, their target will only be towards the county town, not Kongtong Mountain...
……
The bandit leader was not surprised at all when he saw cavalry in white armor appearing near the county town.
These cavalrymen had been harassing them for most of yesterday, and they seemed to be less than a hundred cavalrymen.
Although his riding skills are superb, he seems to have little fighting power and will run away when chased...
Not counting the rioters and the unorganized Dingzhuang, he has nearly a thousand men on foot and cavalry. What is there to be afraid of?
The thief calmly dispatched his men and left the village with the property and Dingkou.
After all, thieves are just thieves. They form an army in panic. How can there be any discipline and efficiency?
The leading cavalry had left the village half an hour ago, and Li's and Ding's soldiers attacked at the same time, but Li Chengzhi's soldiers had almost surrounded the bandits, and the leader of the bandits had not even left the corner of the city wall two miles away... p>
Li Feng did not expect that the thieves would react so slowly. The car array was almost deployed to the corner of the city wall, but this group of thieves still acted like they were watching a show?
According to Li Chengzhi's plan, the cavalry on both wings would try to drive the thieves to the middle area close to the city wall, and the chariot soldiers would follow closely to arrange a chariot formation to surround the thieves in the middle, and then the gun array would press...
This is the famous anvil and hammer tactic of the Macedonian phalanx.
But who would have thought that the thief would not be afraid at all, let alone run away.
It’s no wonder that the rebels are not afraid, the main reason is that there are too few enemies on the opposite side.
To simplify things a bit, what Li Chengzhi deployed today is the Crane Wing Formation that Li Bai practiced at the school field that day, and it is also like the formation that destroyed Yin Guang under the Wubao...
But no matter which one, it seems that they are encircling each other.
Surround three thousand with three hundred?
If others had told him, Li Chengzhi would have called him stupid, but today, Li Chengzhi just used it...
When he said he was going to fight like this, Zhang Xingyi and Guo Ya were stunned and looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Fortunately, everyone from Li Feng on down has already been convinced of Li Chengzhi. No matter how frightened or doubtful they are, as long as Li Chengzhi gives an order, they will obey it without any discount...
And Li Chengzhi made it clearer. In fact, he was only half-encirclement, driving the rebels as far as possible under the city wall, and letting the defenders shoot them.
Victory is certain. As for whether it is a big victory or a small victory, it depends on whether the county soldiers in the city cooperate.
If Jiang Rang and Suo Siwen were more courageous and sent county soldiers to join forces with Li Chengzhi to encircle and kill them, they would not dare to think of total annihilation, but they would definitely win.
As for defeat?
After seeing the lineup of rebels coming out of the manor, Li Chengzhi knew that unless he was so unlucky that he won less than five yuan even if he took five million yuan, there would be no such result.
He finally knew how those battles in the history books in which a hundred defeated a thousand, a thousand defeated ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, came about.
It's a mess, it's chaotic, and you haven't walked a kilometer in an hour. Can you call this a "soldier"?
Even worse than a bandit!
Bandits also know that the faster they walk, the more they can grab...
"Ride... cavalry..." A soldier riding a mule shouted.
"What are you shouting for?" A monk next to him whipped it down, "It's the same cowards as yesterday, but there are just a few more cars..."
The bandit soldier dodged the whip and shouted anxiously: "Not only are there more cars, but there are also more armors, and even the horses are covered with armor? And that man, General, look, he is wearing an iron helmet?"
”
"So what about the iron helmet? What's the use of just covering the head?" The monk scolded again, "Don't you see, if the horse runs a little faster, the horse armor will just float... It's just a wooden armor.
Do you think it’s all the iron armor that Buddha wears..."
The monk said and knocked on the steel armor on his body.
This was ripped from the bodies of the soldiers of the Li family who died in the battle the night before yesterday. There were less than ten sets, and they were divided among a few monk leaders.
There were quite a lot of wooden armors. Nearly two hundred sets were seized from the defeated Song clan soldiers and monks. Therefore, the monk thought that such armor would be less than one in ten soldiers of the Li family.
Although there are a few more cars, there are a lot less cavalry. It seems that there are only twenty or thirty cavalry, and the monk doesn't care even more.
He drew his waist knife, slapped his armor twice hard, and said with a loud and ferocious laugh: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy... Let's see if these bastards run away today..."
The horsemen behind him suddenly burst into laughter, clamped their mules and horses between their legs, and rushed forward after the monk, shouting strange sounds like howling wolves.
"Come in!" Li Feng roared, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, held the reins in one hand, and took out a nearly four-foot javelin from his back with the other hand.
The serious iron spear heads were made by Li Chengzhi after he changed his guns yesterday. There were about 400 of them, all of which were distributed to the cavalry.
It's also because there are too few bows, otherwise it wouldn't be such a waste.
As Li Feng moved out, more than thirty cavalrymen followed closely behind him. Except for the vibration of horse hooves on the ground, there was no sound at all.
The horse didn't run a few steps before it picked up speed. Li Feng leaned down and clung tightly to the horse's back.
The first is to avoid the wind to reduce the resistance of the horse, and the second is to narrow the target to avoid the enemy's bows and arrows.
The next moment, a shocking scene appeared: the more than thirty riders behind Li Feng also followed the same movement. The thirty or so people were like one person, falling down together, like waves of wheat blown by a strong wind.<
/p>
The entire cavalry formation is like a sharp arrow, thrust straight into the enemy.
The county soldiers on the city had never seen such a neat cavalry formation before. They were all stunned and had chills running down their spines.
Not to mention the county soldiers, even Li Chengzhi's heartbeat quickened and his blood pressure soared.
Li Feng often said how good he was when leading the cavalry. He could easily kill the Rouran cavalry and make them cry for their father and mother. Li Chengzhi only thought that he was bragging.
Just because Li Chengzhi saw Tangqi running back and forth in the past, he just thought they ran faster and there was nothing surprising about them, but he didn't expect that the Li family's cavalry was so capable?
"Jingqi?"
After being shocked for a long time, Jiang Rang finally exclaimed: "When did Jingzhou have such a powerful army... No, where did the Li family summon such powerful cavalry?"
"Zhao?" Zhang Xingyi smiled coldly, "Are you afraid that you have forgotten what Li Shixian does? These are all servants of the Li family..."
He was sarcastic, but actually he was no less surprised than Jiang Rang.
I often hear the temple owner say that the soldiers of the Li family are brave enough to conquer Jingzhou, but who would have thought that they could be so brave?
No wonder Li Bai was able to defeat thousands of thieves with only a hundred soldiers?
No wonder Li Chengzhi dared to set up a crane wing formation with these three hundred soldiers?
I gained some knowledge...
The thief chief finally realized something was wrong and subconsciously reined in his horse.
But the rest of the rebels could not react. Seeing that the opponent only had more than 30 riders, they dared to charge towards their own team of nearly 500 riders, and they were holding short guns that were less than half a foot long. I thought these people were crazy.
Running to die, the rebels not only screamed louder, but also rushed faster.
