Chapter 212

This choice is really not difficult to make. After being killed by their own people, the old and weak in the front row used to consume the strength of the Shence army howled and charged over.

After firing three rounds, the crossbow men put away their hard crossbows, took out their weapons and shields, and retreated back to their own team.

The crossbow hand was followed by the archer, who also fired three rounds, took out the melee weapons and withdrew.

Finally, the battle front team in front of the whole army array is about to meet the enemy. They first take a bow and fire a round of volley, turn over the charged thief army, and then change into a long gun or knife to fight.

At this time, there are not many places where the commander-in-chief of the whole army can command. The real protagonists are the grass-roots school captains and brigade commanders. Their courage and wisdom are the key to determining the final outcome of a battle at this time.

Zuo Shence met the big horizontal array arranged by the enemy's two armies. Of their seven armies, the Youyu Hou army in the middle first attacked the battle, and the other armies took over, which was quite rhythmic.

Looking down from mid air, the left Shence side wearing red armor obviously stretched out two protrusions. Then the whole army quickly changed from horizontal array to conical array, and resolutely crashed into the mob like bandit army.

Wu Junxi, the leader of the thief army, stood on the high slope and was very surprised to see the action of the Shence army.

"In the past, I heard that Zuo Shence was unparalleled in the world. If it was true, it didn't use cavalry to open the situation and directly attack the array with infantry. It was really sharp!"

The protrusion on the north side, running in the front, is Wei Ran!

He saw the howling bandits coming in front. Their faces were full of despair, fear, begging for mercy, and finally numbness. It was just a group of skinny victims who didn't even have a piece of metal weapons. They should have been the people of Datang.

In the process of charging, Wei Ran closed the ghost face armor in his helmet, closed his eyes, waved the long halberd horizontally with his feeling, and the touch of cutting muscles and bones layer by layer came from his hands. For the first time, he felt blood on his body, not warm, but cold.

Taking him as the vanguard and arrow, he easily tore open the chaotic formation of the thief army. The violent soldiers of the left Shence army in the rear were like a cold killing machine, with knives, guns, swords and halberds, crushing the formation of the thief army in front of them.

Like a hot knife cutting cream, no one was injured, so he completely crushed the former army of the thief army. The bandits who were not killed on the spot knelt down one after another and begged for mercy. Some of them still had physical strength. They ran frantically regardless of the slaughter of friendly forces in the rear array.

Seeing this, Wu Junxi's face changed slightly and asked the left and right, "why did the former army collapse so quickly? Among the first army of Zuo Shence, only the Youyu Marquis army, the right army and the former army are really engaged, which makes our former army like this?! "

The left and right counselors all looked embarrassed and no one answered.

With a sneer, Wu Junxi rode on his horse and ordered the flag bearer to shake the flag, so that the Chinese army could increase the encirclement speed of the left and right wings, and stick to the middle, so as to prevent the attack of the Shence army. The cavalry is not the opponent of the other cavalry, and they are all their own elite. They can't be consumed here. They all return to this array.

The former army is just a group of old and weak. It is also a waste of food to keep. It is better to use it to consume the physical strength of officers and soldiers.

Unfortunately, these old and weak people are so useless that they can't even stop the momentum of the officers and soldiers. They deserve to be killed!

Wei Ran walked forward step by step with countless corpses. At this time, even if he couldn't adapt, he couldn't close his eyes.

When I just opened my eyes, I caught a glimpse of several confused anti thief soldiers in front of me. In front of him was a skinny teenager in his teens with a bamboo stick in his hand. He looked more like a beggar than an anti thief. He was standing in front of an old man. The old man seemed to break his leg and couldn't move. He looked at himself step by step in despair and fear.

Wei Ran's long halberd suddenly stopped and just stopped above the boy's neck. He opened his eyes and tightened his muscles. He was so frightened that he couldn't do anything on his hands.

Wei Ran's eyes swept behind the young man. They were all father and son, brother and brother. They didn't want to run. They were injured and couldn't run at all. They had to be desperate to die and let their head become a tool for others to boast.

Wei Ran didn't know what it was like in his heart. He stood still, and the flag holding behind him led the team to rush up. Even if they were chasing the enemy, their speed was far slower than Wei Ran with his eyes closed.

Wei Ran burst into a loud roar: "lay down your arms and kneel down to surrender, you can avoid death!"

The young man in front of him and the victims behind him threw away the bamboo and wooden sticks in their hands, knelt down and buried their faces in the bloody soil.

Holding the flag, a part-time flag beside him seemed to have a good time. When he saw the boy kneeling in front of him, he would cut off his head with a knife. Wei Ran stretched out a long halberd and knocked the horizontal knife in his hand.

"I said that those who surrender should not be killed. Didn't you hear him?!"

The violent breath rushed to his face, and the sound wave made his ears roar. The veteran flag immediately turned pale, and did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with the new brigade commander and team. Zuo Shence respected the strong in the army. Wei Ran had established the reputation of the first expert in the army, and his prestige was enough to control these rebellious soldiers.

Fifty soldiers stopped behind Wei Ran and looked at him in surprise. Even Li Guangsi, who was at the end of the team, was the same, but when he saw the rebels who knelt down and surrendered, he could understand his brother's idea.

Although kindness is not in charge of soldiers, there are five virtues for generals: faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness. One of them is benevolence!

Wei Ran didn't say anything. He bypassed the soldiers and let go of his pace. He was still the front arrow of the whole army, carrying a fine steel halberd, and killed the main middle army for a while!

Most of the enemy's troops are young and strong. In addition to the lack of armor, they can at least form a long gun array with one spear, and the officers in the team can even wear iron armor.

When Wei Ran charged, the first five rows of the enemy shouted and suddenly squatted down. Behind them were full of bowmen and crossbows, suddenly firing arrows!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than 20 steps. There was still a distance to run and fight, but it was suitable for the use of bows and crossbows. This volley caught the battle front team off guard. Most people were unprepared and were shot on the spot.

Although everyone in the Zuo Shence army focuses on armor and has strong defense against bows and arrows, there are still unlucky ones. They are injured and killed by arrows in the gaps of armor or in the head and face.

However, for the more lethal crossbows and arrows, even the Mingguang armor has limited defense. Most people were pierced on the spot and fell to the ground.

Only a few experts in the army, who were quick to respond, used shields or waved weapons in time, survived. However, the momentum of the battle front team was restrained, which made the thief army recover from the low morale of the former army, which was quickly defeated.

At this time, Zhang Zhen was in the middle of the two armies behind Zuo Shence. Zhang Zhen sat on the tall frame. With his martial arts and eyesight, he was able to see the situation of the front battle.

When he quickly broke the front of the thief army at the beginning, he was very satisfied. He couldn't help feeling proud and took a look at Li Chengye. The look in his eyes seemed to say: even if you Li Chengye are called the God of war in the army, I Zhang Zhen is not bad. With the combat effectiveness of Zuo Shence, you can easily defeat these mobs.

At that time, Li Chengye looked at the front and looked at the ancient well. He only carefully observed the combat situation of each army and constantly calculated what might happen next in his mind.
