Chapter 53 The Battle of the Two Powers 9

"General, why is there no movement on the side of the officers and soldiers? Is it possible that they were scared out of their courage in the first battle just now? After waiting for a while, he saw that there was no movement on the side of the army, so Tietou asked Xiao Tianjian in a low voice.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the sky. At this time, it was just noon, so he shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate this Guan Ningjun. They won't be so easily scared. I think they must be doing something else!" In this case, let's take a rest first! After passing the order, the whole army rested on the spot and had an extra war meal to make the brothers full! It's cold now, and it's hard to stand like this. Boil more hot soup and send it to your brothers. After eating for a while, continue to work! Let the gophers lead the team up, take advantage of this free time, and quickly get more guards in front of you!"

After hearing Xiao Tianjian's order, the soldiers of each battalion responded to their orders and sat down with a collective bang. Only the cavalry and the scouts of each battalion still maintained a posture of vigilance to prevent the officers and soldiers from launching a raid.

And the firemen in the back soldiers immediately dug the stove on the ground, set up a big pot, took water from the Luohe River, poured some dried meat brought with the army into the pot, added a little salt in, boiled out a pot of broth, picked it with pickers, loaded the prepared big cakes in advance, and sent it to the army like running water.

After drilling the gopher was ordered, without saying a word, he immediately took the engineers under his command and those strongmen who came with the army to help the battle. He picked up the guy and rushed to the front of the front quickly. Suddenly, he started to work in front of the dust.

Zu Kuan looked at Xing Tianjun's action and was a little angry. Xing Tianjun swaggered so loud that he rested and ate and drank in front of them. He even sent people to run out to repair the second row of wooden fences in front of the battle. Isn't this too unimmediable his Guan Ningjun?

It's not only Zu Kuan's anger, but also his generals who are angry and scold them one by one. The Zu Kui even strode to Zu Kuan and intervened and said, "Your Excellency, the thief army is too arrogant. The last general is not talented. He is willing to lead a team of brothers to charge them, so as not to let them do so. Arrogant, don't pay attention to our Guan Ningjun!"

Zu Kuan immediately nodded and said, "Exerce! I'll give you a hundred rides. Go and rush. They can't be so arrogant!"

"The last general will obey!" After Zu Kui agreed, he went down and waved a hundred elite horses, turned over his horse, and after another roar, he angrily killed the generals in front of the two armies.

As soon as he saw the action of the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered the engineers and Min Zhuang to retreat. In order not to waste his limited cavalry power, he suppressed Situ Liang's invitation to fight. He waved the whip and said, "Give the artillery team, give me a quick shot at them and suppress their prestige!"

The gun team on the slope was idle and painful. They sat next to the gun position and nibbled on the big cake and drank the broth. After receiving the order, the artillerymen shook the cake and soup bowl without saying a word. They jumped up and ran to the side of the gun rack. They operated the cannon, loaded the load, and pointed the muzzle in front of the two armies. There was someone responsible for observing the distance, no They were told the distance between the officers and soldiers. When the officers and soldiers rushed to 150 steps before the Xingtian Army, the officer roared, "Let me go!"

More than a dozen red-hot bars poked the fire gate of the tail of the cannon almost at the same time. After hearing a roar, the projectile immediately flew out and fell into the open space in front of the array.

The sudden shelling shocked this team of Guan Ning Army. Although their cavalry were not afraid of long-range bombardment by cannons, the cannons of the Xing Tianjun were shot very accurately. There were still three riders who were immediately shot and turned into scattered flesh and blood. An unlucky cavalryman happened to be shot in the head, and the flying shells were fired on the spot. His head was beaten into a blooming watermelon, and his brain was flying all over the sky. The headless body was still sitting on the back of the horse and running wildly. After running far away, the headless body slowly fell down on one side, but one of his feet was still in the pedal, and he was dragged around the battlefield by the war horse. The blood spewed out left a big symbol on the beach in front of the array.

What annoyed Zu Kui even more was that at this time, in the two forward thieves sent a group of soldiers with bird-handed soldiers, went straight to the second unbuilt wooden fence and raised the bird-handed to them. After learning from the officers and soldiers who rushed in the team just now, although Zu Kui was angry, he did not dare to go directly. He led the troops to rush up and had to scold and trap the war horse in front of the battle. After galloping back and forth, he retreated.

As soon as the officer retreated, the gopher rushed up with his men, and then did a lot of work. It didn't take long. The second simple wooden fence was erected in front of the Xingtian Army. Just because the time was a little short, the wooden gate looked simple and a little uneven, but in fact The function is not bad at all.

Even taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers also took off a few boxes of iron thistaricus worn with thin chains on the car, sent them to the front, and spread them in front of the wooden fence, which enhanced their defense ability.

Xing Tianjun's arrogant performance is to make Guan Ningjun on the opposite side half dead. Standing in the array holding weapons one by one is a curse, but Zu Kuan did not order, and none of them dare to rush out without authorization. Instead, Zu Kuan calmed down and stared at Xing Tianjun's array for a long time without saying anything. Language.

Liu Dapan scolded and urged the soldiers under his command, carrying a row of rowers that had just been pieced together, and began to line up before the battle. These rowes were all gathered up by his men who had just played with their lives, and even the boards of the accompanying carts were removed. Finally, they were pieced together according to the requirements of Zu Kuan. A batch of rowan was issued, and with the fact that they had brought it with them, it was almost ready to be used.

So Liu Dapan summoned all his military leaders and even coaxed them to give them an order. Although everyone was afraid when they heard it, now, Zu Kuan and Guan Ningjun were watching. Even if they didn't want to go out, they did not dare to disobey the military order, and Liu Dapan generously encouraged his men. After that, he finally pressed the handle of the knife around his waist and said to them with a cold face, "This time, you have listened to me clearly. If anyone retreats or can't be satisfied with the former, you can't blame our brothers for so many years of love. Lord Ancestors has an order to dare to escape from the war, and there is no mercy. I will personally supervise you. Zhen, I know you, but I don't know you!"

As soon as the soldiers heard this, they immediately scolded in their hearts: 'I understand that you guys drove us to go to battle to death, but you hid behind, bullshit, about the arrogant soldiers and tough generals of the Ning army staring at behind, and you need to supervise what bullshit. Array! Aren't you your brother-in-law? There are five or six people now, and you won't die when you come back!'

But the official level suppressed people to death. Although he was not happy, there was nothing he could do. After all, there is a thief army opposite now, so it can't be a big break up! Even if their legs run, Guan Ningjun's knife is not vegetarian. If they are killed, they will be killed in vain. If they die, it will die in vain. It's better to fight. After all, there are still some battles about Ning Jun's pressure.

These marchers from Luoyang had no choice but to squeeze into a group in front of the battle. The officers kept shouting in the battle and greeting their men to their positions.

Looking at the Luoyang soldiers in front of him, Zu Kuan frowned and said that at least they were also officers and soldiers, but they looked more like some bandit soldiers than the opposite thieves. No wonder Wang Bacheng led his troops to Yiyang County and did not move forward. Whoever let him take this soldier is a virtue, and no one can expect them to win the battle. However, this is not important to him now. In his opinion, this group of Luoyang soldiers are originally intended to fill the pit. It doesn't matter whether they can fight or not. As long as they pull out the wooden fence in front of the opposite thieves's army, the rest is their matter to Guanning Army.

"Your Majesty, the humble brothers are ready! Do you think it is..." Liu Dapan came to Zu Kuan with a smile and asked him for instructions.

Zu Kuan glanced at these twisted pawn formations in front of him, sighed slightly, nodded and said, "I know what Mr. Liu Qian is thinking. Don't worry! I will send someone to protect your wings to ensure that you will not be disturbed by the thieves and cavalry! But the ugly words are not ugly in the front. If someone escapes from this battle, you can't blame me for being ruthless. Come on! Send two teams of brothers to protect their wings. Don't give the thief army the opportunity to take advantage of it. Send another 100 people behind them to supervise the battle and kill those who escape without authorization!"

Liu Dapan still sweated in a cold sweat behind his back on such a cold day. He repeatedly hugged his fists and thanked him, and patted his chest to ensure that he would personally supervise the battle in the back. If anyone dares to escape back, he did not need Guan Ningjun to do it, he would cut him first.

With the sound of war drums, these Luoyang soldiers who were caught up tightened their bodies one by one and began to walk slowly towards the opposite Xingtian Army.

On one side, the face was erected in front of them, and the stronger soldiers were placed in front, carrying these shoulders and moving them step by step.

Although the patchwork is very simple, for these soldiers who have no fighting spirit, they still make it as thick as possible, and hiding behind them more or less will make them feel a little safe.

Seeing that there was a new movement on the side of the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian nodded slightly, and the trumpet hand casually blew a few trumpets. After the soldiers of Xing Tianjun, who were sitting in place and resting, heard the trumpets, they immediately banged and all stood up.

Now Xiao Tianjian understands what Zu Kuan has been waiting for so long, so he sneered at the guards around him and said, "Zu Kuan has a good calculation. He is reluctant to fill it with his Guan Ning army's soldiers, but he drove out Luoyang soldiers to die. Humph! It's a good idea, but I'm afraid he will be disappointed again this time! Give the order to Luo Li and Li Shuanzhu, and let them do it by themselves! In short, you can't let the officers and soldiers get close to the wooden fence! What I want to defeat today is Guan Ning Iron Rider. There is no need to work hard on these miscellaneous soldiers in Luoyang! In addition, the artillery team is allowed to fire by themselves!"

After listening to this, the generals all laughed. Now they no longer pay attention to such officers and soldiers. Xiao Tianjian's contempt is also very in line with their ideas.

As these Luoyang soldiers stepped into the battlefield step by step, the three-pound guns on the slope behind the Xingtian Army also raised their muzzle one after another and set the range at the farthest.

"Fire..."
