Zao Liuma came to the flag, and Li Dan also raised his head to look at his own flag and streamers.
Kuroki chuckled: "Don't blame me for defense. I couldn't find a suitable one, so I borrowed it from the old monk for temporary use."
"Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you for taking the curtain from the front of someone's niche?" Li Dan couldn't laugh or cry.
"How is that possible? We kill demons for the world, this is a great merit! Well...at most the merits and demerits will be offset, so it doesn't matter!"
Come to think of it, it’s written down anyway, so just use it. "After fighting this battle, give someone a piece of silver as alms. Don't take it for free. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and the guys across the street?"
Li Dan said, Heimu quickly agreed and winked at Zhao Jingzi behind his back - the words on it were written by this royal family.
Looking at the opponent's formation, Li Dan turned his face and shouted to Ma Jiu: "Uncle Ma, please take care of the right wing!" Ma Jiu raised the spear in his hand in response.
He looked at Zhou Qin and Tan Zhongxiao next to him: "I wonder what happened to Brother Xiao's brother?"
"Even if Lao Xiao and the others don't arrive in time, I don't think the group on the other side can escape!" Tan Zhongxiao said.
"Yes, we have nearly 900 people coming out. There are about the same number of people on both sides. Let's see who is more powerful!" Zhou Qin agreed.
But Li Dan shook his head slightly: "Although there is a mob on the other side, many of them are old thieves who have done many evil things.
Although You Sanjiang was not good at land warfare, he must have seen the weakness of the left wing and would definitely attack the left wing first. The two eldest brothers, please leave me in the middle.
You must hold on for a while and buy time for Ma Jiuye to encircle you! "
"Don't worry, you leave Shuai Qi and Zaoliu Ma to us. If you can't guard the middle, my brother is incompetent!" Tan Zhongxiao replied with a laugh.
Li Dan laughed. As Zhou and Tan each shouted, the sergeants in the front rows stepped aside to make way for a path, and the Zaoliu horse ran out briskly and came to the front of the formation.
Li Dan rode his horse back and forth in his own formation, drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Wan Sheng!"
Everyone in the formation also shouted: "Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory! Mighty defense, mighty, mighty defense!"
After two or three rounds, Li Dan entered from the left wing of his house, jumped off his horse behind a few trees, nodded to Zhao Jingzi who was coming towards him, untied the belt under his chin and waist, took off his cloak and threw it to him.
Then he turned to Mao Zaidi who was dripping with sweat and asked: "How is it?"
"Boss Sheng went to hide in Ma'anshan last night and asked me to come back and report. Lin Baihu and the others will definitely be in Yau Ma Ping today.
If an enemy group sets out to attack the temple, please light two piles of cigarettes on the east mountain as a defense. When he started to do something, he would also light up two piles of cigarettes. Mao Zaidi replied hastily and wiped the sweat from his face.
"Okay, okay, you've worked hard. Go down and have a rest." Li Dan said to Mao Zaidi while arranging for people to go to Dongshan to light two fires.
"I don't want to fight. How can I rest?" Mao Zaidi refused.
Li Dan glared and said, "If you don't rest now, eat or drink water, how will you be able to keep up with me later?" Then the little guy smiled and ducked behind.
At this time, another burst of cheers broke out in the team, because the tall Zaoliu horse, carrying Zhao Jingzi, who was wearing a green cloak, returned to the central army and stood under the banner again.
You Sanjiang was so angry at Yaowu Yang that his fingertips on the sides of his legs couldn't help but tremble. The confidant understood his thoughts and cursed:
"Ponai is clearly still a baby, but he still dares to act wild in front of the general? I have given the order, and I will rush forward and take him down. We will hang him upside down for nine hours to see if he still dares to be arrogant!"
His words made You Sanjiang calm down. After looking back and forth several times, he sneered:
"Do you know why he is so pretentious?" Everyone shook their heads, maybe saying that he was just successful. You Sanjiang sneered: "No, he has a guilty conscience!"
"Feeling guilty? What does the general mean by this? It seems to me that the number of people fighting on both sides is equal. He has no advantages except for the support of a few officers and archers. Why does he feel guilty?" The confidant was puzzled.
"Let's take a closer look. Is there anything fishy about the military formation opposite?"
"Well, it seems half refined and half miscellaneous?" the confidant replied.
"That's right! When Feng San came back, he reported that they only had a few officers and soldiers and more than 200 militiamen. Well, isn't this what you saw from the east?
Moreover, the officers and soldiers were timid and chose to be in the far east. Humph, their plan must be to run to Fengqiguan if they can't win! "You Sanjiang pointed with the tip of his whip. The more he spoke, the more reasonable his analysis became.
"Then, what the general is saying...isn't it true that the western half of them are actually civilians?"
"That's right, this group of people has not been trained, so their clothes are in mixed colors, they stand in a mess, and they have everything in their hands, long and short." You Sanjiang smiled grimly:
"We will attack these farmers. After we defeat them, the militia and government troops will not be affected!"
After saying that, he sent an order to move the most powerful teams to the west side. He personally led the attack, and a confidant leader led the team to attack the center as a feint attack.
For a moment, there were loud shouts of killing on the battlefield, smoke and dust were everywhere, and everyone's hearts were beating fiercely.
On the watchtower of Dongshan, there were two or three people standing to look out and pay attention to the battle situation. When they saw the opponent moving, they immediately shouted down, and then the people passed it to the people below. Immediately, there were orders riding mules to the back of the formation to report. Li Dan.
Commanding the first two formations were Gu Da and Song Jiuyi on the left, and Yang Yi and Shou Jingang Zhang Bo on the right. Seeing the enemy begin to charge, four sirens immediately sounded.
You Sanjiang, who was conducting the command, felt that the other side was suddenly in chaos, and he was very happy! Shouting: "My sons, charge forward and kill us!"
Just when the two sides were still about thirty steps away, the other side suddenly took out hundreds of round shields out of nowhere, stacked them up and down to form a semicircle, and the spear tips emerged from the gaps.
You Sanjiang was taken aback. It was too late to scream. His right forward hit the shield formation like a tidal wave, followed by continuous screams.
They had spears underneath and flails above them, and they knocked down a dozen people in an instant.
At this time, the Chinese army's bows and arrows also shot at the left side of the rebels. There were still many bamboo spears and iron spears sticking out from behind the square shields, which stalled the offensive.
You Sanjiang craned his neck to take a look on his horse, and felt relieved when he saw that the hundreds of officers and soldiers were still there.
He urged everyone to stand together and attack fiercely, and called a leader and asked him to lead dozens of people around to the easternmost round shield to block the attack.
At this time, two thousand people on both sides were crowded in front of the shield, fighting repeatedly for this thin wall.
Suddenly someone fell down, and several bandit soldiers broke through the square shield formation and rushed into the shield wall amidst cheers.
But he didn't expect Kuroki to hand the banner to others and move forward quickly, slashing down the leader's weapon with the sword in his right hand. He turned around and the sword in his left hand was coming. The enemy had no time to dodge and was slashed from the neck. Then he knocked down the corpse and used the sword in his right hand. Go straight into the lower abdomen of the person behind.
The remaining people were shocked and were chopped down and impaled by several knives and spears. Someone quickly took over the position, and the gap in the shield array was closed again.
You Sanjiang saw it from a distance, and the cry was regrettable. Suddenly I heard a big commotion at the east end. It turned out that the messenger standing at a high place noticed the enemy's movement and immediately reported it to Li Dan.
Li Dan picked up the iron bar and wanted to charge in person. How could Gu Da let him go? After taking a few steps forward and carrying Shi Shi over, Li Dan quickly asked Su Piantou (Su Zheng) to lead the team to follow.
Su Zheng used a pair of three-foot hammers to rush into the middle of the Golden Flower Formation like a whirlwind, killing four people one after another. He forced the attackers back, which made Gu Da, who was fighting side by side, look on with admiration.
At this time, someone screamed, and someone pulled his robe hard. You Sanjiang looked back in the direction he pointed and was stunned. Two pillars of smoke rose behind him.
"What's going on?" He felt strange. The smoke column didn't look like it was rising from his camp.
When he heard the frightened shouts of the people around him and turned around, two pillars of smoke rose into the sky from the east mountain.
It would be silly for him not to understand at this time: "No, they are communicating with each other! Why are they communicating?" You Sanjiang didn't understand.
At this time, he instinctively wanted to see what the enemy general was doing and what his expression was. Unexpectedly, he was shocked when he saw it: "No, I've fallen into a trap!"
"General, if we work harder, we can break through. How can we say we fell into a trap?"
You Sanjiang pointed to his banner: "Look, the enemy general was clearly wearing green robes just now, but now he is wearing brown robes?" Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden siren sound in front of him.
Then I saw dozens of black pipes protruding from the back of the shield array. "Bang, bang, bang", with the fire and smoke, You Sanjiang trembled, and he saw the person in front of him falling down with a loud roar.
"Firegun!" he shouted. Unexpectedly, the shield array opened, revealing three gaps.
"Pah, pah, pah", three small but thrilling explosions came. You Sanjiang felt something flying past his face, and warm liquid dripped down.
"General's gun, they have a general's gun!" Someone in the crowd in front shouted: "Help!"
"General, general, the left wing is defeated, defeated!" Someone stumbled over and pointed in the direction behind him and shouted.
"Nonsense! Where is Xiao Qin?" You Sanjiang shouted angrily.
"He, he was shot to death with an arrow piercing his throat. The army has surrounded us, general. We can't escape unless we withdraw our troops!"
You Sanjiang hurriedly raised his eyes, and then noticed that the formation on the opposite side had moved at some point. The Chinese shield formation opened, and several columns rushed out to engage in a melee with his people.
Those officers and soldiers, what about the officers and soldiers?
He searched with his eyes and found that the army was already attacking in the northwest direction. They formed a small formation of five people and were constantly driving the frightened enemy troops here.
At this time, Dong Duan shouted again, and someone came to report: "General, enemies, enemies, they are coming from the east, we can't resist them anymore!"
"Isn't the east side all flooded? Where are the enemies?" You Sanjiang was confused: "Oh, come on, come on, it seems that that guy has plotted against you today. Let's retreat and make plans!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another sound of firecrackers on the opposite side. This time there were not so many, but three shots in a row.
You Sanjiang felt his body shake, and the horse he was sitting on suddenly screamed and fell down. Several soldiers rushed forward and pulled him out, then carried him away.
Ming Jin's voice immediately sounded behind him. This was so bad that everyone was immediately discouraged.
Looking at the corpses or injured bodies of his comrades in front, the right wing, who was hesitating whether to continue fighting, fled like an ebbing tide!
On the way, they bumped into the left wing who were driven towards them by the army. Two groups of people from the same family argued and pushed each other. Everyone wanted to leave first.
Some people threw away their weapons along the way, some took off their armor, and some even threw away the belongings they had been carrying. Everyone wants to run back to the camp, where it is safer than outside!
It's not far away, more than two miles, and we'll be there soon. The person running at the front suddenly stopped, pointed at the wooden fence and shouted, "Ah! Ah!"
Some of the people behind him ran past him and looked back to see what was going on with this dear man; some stopped and knelt down softly on the ground, resigned to their fate.
The red flags of the army were clearly planted in the camp, and there was also a recognition flag with the Chinese character "Sheng" written on it. The camp door is open, but does anyone dare to go in?
When Li Dan caught up with him, he saw Mr. Sheng standing on the side of the road waiting for him with a smile and holding the handle of his knife. "Your Majesty, you are so elegant, are you reciting poetry on this bloody battlefield?" he joked.
"I can make a shitty poem. Sanlang is very knowledgeable, so I might as well write one." Sheng Huaien gestured with his chin:
"Look, there are so many prisoners that we can't even catch them! I heard that some of them ran too fast and couldn't get up after falling to the ground. What did you do in front of the Buddha to scare people like this?"
Li Dan laughed loudly, clasped his fists and said, "You hurry up and capture the prisoners first, I have to lead a team to search for the bandit leader traveling to Sanjiang!"
"Don't worry, he can't escape!" Sheng Huai'en said confidently: "The camp was captured and he couldn't go to Ma Youping, so he had to run to Beitang.
I have arranged for three sentries to ride on mules to patrol that way.
The people from Lin Baihu will rush there after cleaning up the north. You'd better send some people to block his way to the east. I guess this guy will turn around and go to Beixiatang if the situation is not right. "
"I have the order!" Li Dan clasped his fists, turned the horse around, and ordered repeatedly:
"Send the order, Yiwofeng and Song Jiuyi continue to chase north, Yang Yi and Shou Jingang search east, Brother Liu's gun team follows me, Ma Jiuye protects the baggage,
Song Xiaoniu led the pacification team to inspect the battlefield and maintain discipline! "
