Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 529 Fierce Battle

"Are you an official?" Li Sanniang tilted her head towards Wu Xian and couldn't help but sneered.

She learned from the chat between Zhang Shun and Zhang Shenyan that Mr. Wu was just a ranger in Nanzhili. It was only after Wang Zhaosheng, the military commander of southern Hebei Province, took a fancy to him that he allowed him to "recruit troops to suppress bandits."

Wang Zhaosheng was doing good business, and he promised to recommend him to be a minor official after his success, so he was bribed to serve.

You are just a person who climbs the dragon and clings to the phoenix. What kind of backbone do you have?

When Wu Xian saw that Li Sanniang was very disdainful of him, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. He wanted to cut his heart out and express his true feelings.

However, Wu Xianben had served as a leading general for a period of time and was well aware of the ruthless nature of military law, so he did not dare to act arbitrarily.

After the officers and cavalry harassed the rebel infantry formation many times, they failed to achieve very good results.

At this time, the officers, soldiers and infantry finally arrived. One of the two sides wanted to leave, the other wanted to stop them, and there was a sudden battle.

There are many officers and soldiers, but few rebels. Chen Changzhen had already deployed his troops according to the terrain.

When the rebel formation was squeezed by the officers and soldiers, the two wings shrank back a little and spread out in a half-moon shape with their backs to the officers and soldiers' camp.

This defensive formation can be regarded as a variation of the circle formation, or as a variation of the famous general Liu Yu's "queue formation".

The officers and soldiers, whether infantry or cavalry, were unable to bypass the rebel formations and launch an attack due to the obstruction of the camp.

Therefore, although there are many officers and soldiers, they cannot break through the rebel formation. With few rebel soldiers, they can still defend against the attack of the officers and soldiers.

Behind the rebel formation was the gate of the officers' and soldiers' camp. Wang Pu could not help but become anxious when he saw it clearly behind the formation.

He knew that the commander-in-chief Ni Chong had deceived him, so he had to stay behind. If the rebels attack in a hurry, some changes will inevitably occur. At that time, I am afraid that even with three heads and six arms, I will not be able to escape.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Pu became fierce. He said to the cavalry general: "There are pursuers behind us and obstacles in front of us. If we can't open the road in time, we will all die without a burial place. For the current plan, we can only fight to the death and defeat the enemy in front of us." A glimmer of hope.”

"I see that the thieves have a strict formation, but the center is where the two formations intersect, and is the weakest. After a while, I will order the infantry to spread out to the left and right, and a passage will flow out. Then you will lead the cavalry under your command and open up a way out at all costs. !”

"If this battle is won, the deceased will be rewarded with an extra ten taels of silver for each person. The injured will be rewarded with eight taels of silver, and the remaining cavalry will be rewarded with five taels of silver. This time, I, Wang Pu, will guarantee with my own personality that I will never lie!"

As soon as the cavalry heard about the silver, their eyes turned red, and they all cried out: "It's not a hero who is afraid of death just based on General Wang's orders!"

Not long after, when the rebel army was struggling to hold on, they suddenly felt a relief in front of them, and the enemy retreated like a tide.

At the junction of Li Xin's formation and Li Mou's formation, the officers and soldiers were all empty for a while. The rebels, who had been fighting with the officers and soldiers for a long time, lost their ferocity and couldn't help but succumb. They sat down and took a breath.

As a result, before he could catch his breath, the ground suddenly started to shake under his buttocks. The soldiers looked up and saw a group of cavalry rolling over like a mudslide outside the space vacated by the officers and soldiers just now.

The rebels couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and quickly struggled to stand up, trying to resist with the spears in their hands.

The soldiers in the first three rows all sat down, put the end of the spear on the ground, stepped on the base of the spear with one foot, and pointed it diagonally at the officers and cavalry.

The soldiers in the three rows behind them all leveled their spears and pointed them at the enemy. Behind him was the swordsman and axe. He swallowed the saliva in his mouth, gripped the sword and ax in his hand, and was ready to charge at any time.

The rebels had just finished setting up their formation, and before they had time to use their bows, arrows, and firecrackers, the first wave of officers, soldiers, and cavalry rushed in.

From a distance, the dense formation of spears is not enough to see in front of the cavalry charge. It was clear that the cavalry was still ten feet away, but before the soldier could even point his spear at the enemy, his body was pierced by the sharp spear in the hands of the cavalry.

Some cavalrymen with superb riding skills even jumped up from their horses, avoided the spears, and trampled directly on the soldiers sitting on the ground. Immediately, the soldiers were trampled with broken muscles and broken bones, and they were wailing on the ground in a human-like manner, which was creepy.

Some soldiers were lucky enough to stab the cavalry horses and soldiers, but the spears in their hands were still broken by the huge impact, and the whole person was knocked away.

The officers, soldiers and cavalry, with men and horses, rushed forward like stones thrown into a pond. It wasn't until they hit four or five layers of infantry that the cavalry finally stopped.

The rebel infantry ignored their sorrow and fear and quickly used the spears in their hands to stab the soldiers on horseback. The swordsman behind the formation also shouted loudly and stepped forward quickly. They rushed up and chopped down the soldiers and horses' hooves.

The officers and cavalry who rushed into the rebel formation did not show any weakness. They quickly used the spears in their hands to stand down and counterattack the swarming infantry, and at the same time controlled the horses to sit down and prepare to leave the battlefield.

The two sides struggled for a while, and after the officers and soldiers' cavalry left dozens of corpses, they finally left the battlefield.

The rebels also suffered heavy losses. The fourth and fifth rows of infantrymen in the exercise were hit and trampled into shape, and dozens of spearmen and axemen were killed in the entanglement.

Before the soldiers who had finally withstood the cavalry charge could celebrate their survival, the second wave of charges from the officers and soldiers came rolling in.

Like a hammer, it struck the rebel formation hard again. This time the infantry, which had regained some of its formation, was almost completely beaten by the cavalry at once.

Even the officers, soldiers and cavalry could already see the gate of the camp behind the rebels, but Li Mou and Li Xin had already seen it and personally led more than a dozen men who dared to die to reinforce it from the left and right. The two sides fought again for a while before repelling the charge of the second cavalry.

Then came the third cavalry charge. Even Li Mou and Li Xin looked desperate.

Human power will eventually be limited, and the way of heaven will eventually be determined. No matter how brave Li Mou and Li Xin are, what can they do with their own strength?

This time the rebels still resisted desperately, but they were easily defeated by the last wave of cavalry from the officers and soldiers.

The formation was torn apart and the defense failed?

Li Mou and Li Xin wiped the blood from their faces and tasted failure for the first time. For a moment, fear, confusion and numbness were mixed together.

It's just that the rebel army has not had time to collapse, and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry have not yet smiled with joy.

The same sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, but this time it came from behind the rebels.

Li Xin and Li Mou turned around and saw Chen Changzhen leading the way, followed closely by Wei Congyi, Li Sanniang, Ji Dan and others, leading the rebel army's remaining 200 cavalry to charge over.

Due to the obstruction of the rebel infantry and their own carelessness, the officers, soldiers and cavalry had already stopped galloping and were ready to turn their horses' heads and attack the rebel lineup again from behind. How could you imagine that Chen Changzhen could grit his teeth and still leave behind such a surprising force?

While waving the dragon-coiling stick in her hand, Li Sanniang turned around and shouted to Zhang Luxuan and Wu Xian: "You two follow me, don't accidentally die, I can't explain it to the dead ghost in my family!"

Wu Xian had been holding back his anger for a long time, so how could he pay attention to her? He just patted the horse and passed Li Sanniang, shouting loudly: "Who do you want to take care of? Those who are afraid of death are not heroes!"

The second update should be later. If you have an early break, please don’t wait any longer.
