Li Chengzhi basically didn’t hesitate and decided to proceed as planned, gently waving his hand: “Array up!”
The drummer behind him picked up the drumstick and banged it hard. The flag soldier next to him raised the black flag at the same time and waved it hard twice.
The defeated soldiers and the mob who were rushing towards the farm were wondering why the nice farm was on fire, and they were startled when they heard the sound of drums again.
Looking up, in the passage between the two farms, behind the haystacks outside the farm wall, Xu Bingqiang soldiers appeared densely.
All of them were wearing white armor, and they were dressed exactly like the cavalrymen who ordered the king of hell.
At this time, the bandit leader who luckily escaped realized that he had been ambushed.
With such a big bald head, there is no way to fool around. These monks can only flee in both directions.
But immediately two groups of cavalry jumped out from behind the infantry formation and pursued them from left to right.
There is no need to go out of your way to distinguish, just shoot if you see someone riding a horse, wearing white armor, or holding a weapon in their hands. You will definitely shoot accurately. Even if you are not the leader of the bandits, you are definitely a rebel.
It's not like there weren't some rebels who jumped off their horses in a hurry, threw away their guns, took off their iron and wooden armor, and mingled with the crowd, trying to get through.
Li Chengzhi just laughed coldly.
How can I let you escape now that my hands are stained with blood?
He is not worried at all.
Do you think the phrase "the eyes of the masses are sharp" was just blown away?
There are plenty of ways to deal with you...
The training in the past month has been quite effective. The spearmen are very fast and can set up their formations in three to five minutes.
And the speed of the rebels and soldiers is not slow either.
When Li Chengzhi was about to give the order to attack, the field was filled with people kneeling on their knees, crying and shouting loudly, shouting "I am a good citizen".
Li Chengzhi didn’t even need to order his soldiers to shout “Kneel down and surrender without killing!”
Who else could fight against the rebels?
Regardless of whether they are thieves or civilians, they only think that these armor-wearing people in front of them are officers and soldiers...
There were even many bald heads who knelt down!
These monks know that they can't do good, but what else can they do if they don't kneel?
The distance from the city wall to the farm is forty to fifty feet. It seems that there are only dozens of cavalry on each side, and they can be surrounded like iron barrels?
It's not that there are no thieves who want to rush out, but no matter how fast people run, they can't outrun the horses. Moreover, these cavalrymen all have bows in their hands. Everyone wants to get on the horse like a dog jumping over the wall, and the six gods are running around without a master.
, even if it is an arrow.
Seeing that the person kneeling on the ground was safe and sound, even a fool knows how to kneel down and surrender.
An extra moment is a moment, and an extra half day is a half day... At least it is better than being shot to death on the spot...
Li Chengzhi just pretended not to see it and just shouted coldly: "Come in!"
The flag soldiers changed to white flags and waved them fiercely in the direction of the city wall. The spear formation immediately moved: all the spear soldiers took a step forward and shouted at the same time: "Enter!"
Whether it was the defenders on the city walls or the defeated troops in the fields, they were all shaken, and even the cries of the wounded soldiers and refugees were much quieter.
After hearing a "dong" sound, the drummers beat the big drum slowly and slowly, and only the three-layer thick gun formation stepped on the drum and moved forward.
This was obviously the rhythm of an attack. The chaotic soldiers and civilians hurriedly got up and fled towards the city wall.
Some of them didn't react, or they didn't believe in evil. They seemed to not believe that officers and soldiers would really kill people, and they knelt on the ground stupidly.
Li Chengzhi frowned.
Now is not the time to distinguish between citizens and thieves. He even knows which women are innocent, but he doesn't have time to deal with them.
The battle line was too long and too deep, and he couldn't separate the men.
But what if we want the gun array to stop?
Are you kidding?
What if this is not an insurrection of troops but an evenly matched opponent?
As long as your formation is slightly messed up, someone desperate will jump out and charge in the opposite direction.
There shouldn’t be too many such battles in history: Li Guang was tied to a horse by the Huns, but by accident, he turned defeat into victory...
Li Chengzhi endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He glanced at Li Xian beside him and said, "Let the soldiers shout: Retreat!"
Li Xian's role today is to protect the soldiers with his own soldiers, and at the same time, he travels to deliver orders to the soldiers.
He said yes, grabbed the horse's belly, and ran towards the gun formation.
After leaning a little, I heard the Chinese soldiers shouting in unison: "Retreat!"
Waiting for the second call, the cavalry and chariots also shouted.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Li Chengzhi didn't think so, but to the ears of the rioting soldiers and the defenders on the city, the sound of "retreat" was like thunder.
Especially with the drum orders of the Chinese army and the spearmen marching forward with their spears on the beat of the drums, the feeling is particularly shocking.
No matter how stupid a person is, he is frightened and wakes up. He no longer runs around or depends on himself, but gets up in a panic and runs towards the city wall.
Occasionally, some cavalrymen would come forward to check on those who seemed to be paralyzed by fear.
If they are rebels, they will be killed with one strike. If they are women and they cannot be driven away, the cavalry will ignore them, and the spearmen behind will naturally miss them.
The military order the spearmen received was only to "advance". If it was "kill", they would stab the gun down with their eyes closed...
The nearly 20-foot-long phalanx marched in neat steps, chasing more than two thousand rioters and civilians, and approached the city wall.
The cavalry on both wings were surrounding the center at the same time. The further they moved forward, the smaller the space in the formation became, and more and more cavalry and spearmen came out. There was no need for Li Chengzhi to give special orders, and there would be corps commanders.
Their respective parts will be added to the back of the formation.
By the time they crossed Shangguan Road, the rioters had been surrounded in a space that was only ten feet long and wide at most, with people sitting next to each other and crowded together, just like a school of sardines.
The full picture of Li's soldiers was finally revealed: there were thirty cavalry and thirty chariots on each side of the left and right wings, totaling just over a hundred.
The Chinese army is slightly larger, but calculating the array, there are only just over two hundred people.
And we also need to add flag soldiers, drum soldiers and order soldiers...
The people on the city wall, as long as they had some military knowledge, all gasped.
These white-armored soldiers defeated thousands of rebels with only three hundred men?
And he won so quickly?
From the beginning of the charge by the white-armored cavalry, to the formation of the white-armored spearmen outside the farm, and until the field was filled with rioters and rioters, was there a single moment in the whole process?
No, it’s more than victory. If the leader of the white-armored soldiers is willing, he can completely annihilate them all...
Jiang Rang and Zhang Xingyi watched it from beginning to end and were already numb with shock, so they seemed fine.
Suo Siwen, who had just climbed onto the city wall, and Guo Cunxin, Zhang Wei and others who were coaxed and forced to come up by him, were all shocked and stunned.
In addition to being surprised that the battle was won so quickly, they were also surprised that the soldiers under the city were so brave?
It wouldn’t be strange if all these three hundred soldiers were members of the Li clan. Others don’t know it, but Guo Cunxin, his brother-in-law, still knows very well his brother-in-law’s methods of running the army?
But the problem is that more than 60% of them are newly reorganized villagers and monks of the Song family. Counting time, it will only be one month.
Moreover, my brother-in-law is still trapped in Jingzhou...
How did Li Chengzhi train these newcomers to be so powerful in just one month?
