Burial Ming

Chapter 119 The world is unpredictable

"Wh!" The messenger in the Xing Tianjun roared fiercely.

Then the generals sitting on the ground clouted and stood up together. Rows of long guns stood up like waves, and finally formed a neat and dense gun forest.

And those firemen immediately stood up and carried the birds on their shoulders. The whole phalanx was like a knife, neat and uniform, giving people a kind of Yue Zhiyuan-like momentum.

Niu Taylor stopped the rein, and his face suddenly became very ugly. It was not until he saw the thief army that he realized that Wang Youtian did not exaggerate to him just now. The thief army in front of him was indeed beyond all their expectations. Just looking at such a simple action as the other party getting up and the whole team, he let Niu Tai sweated coldly, and the enemy was so strong that even if he pulled up his officers and soldiers together and ordered them to do the same action, he would never be able to catch up with the other party's performance.

This is a gang of rabble! Even compared with the Beijing camp, which is the most elite of the officers and soldiers, the performance of this thieves is definitely no less than that, and it can even be said that it can only surpass it and never be inferior.

It was the same as Niu Tai's feeling. When his soldiers saw the thief army blocking their way on the opposite side, they all felt as if they had returned to three or nine days, and their whole body began to feel a little cold.

Even the Wang Jianjun, who followed him excitedly, was so scared that he stood up a little, and suddenly he was a little at a loss. At this moment, he also understood that Mr. Wang Qian just now did not exaggerate. What kind of an ordinary thief army this thieves army is? It's simply an extremely well-trained elite team. It seems that he is not very lucky this time. As soon as he took office, he caught up with such a job.

The officers and soldiers who were still on their way stopped at this time and suddenly calmed down. They looked at the opposite side one by one in fear, and they didn't know what to say.

Niu Tai looked at the thief army opposite him and lost his mind for a while, but after all, as the main general of the army, he still reacted a little faster than others. He immediately recovered and laughed dryly: "Ha ha! This... this army of thieves is really a little unexpected!"

After Wang Jianjun heard Niu Tai's words at this moment, he was also a little distracted, so he nervously asked Niu Tai, "General Niu, do you think we can defeat this thief army?"

Although Niu Tai has fifteen buckets of water in his heart, he still has to say face. Otherwise, if he shows timidity first, don't expect his generals to have morale.

So he forced himself to be calm and said to Wang Jianjun, "Lord Wang, please rest assured! This thief army is just a show. How long has it been since they became an army? You should know that these soldiers and generals under Mr. Niu have experienced a hundred battles. In fact, these thieves are comparable? Lord Wang, let's go back to the army and rest for a while, and see if I will deal with them in the future!"

Although this eunuch Wang just said like a rotten ladle on the road, he felt that the thief army was just a group of rabble. When his supervisor came here, a charge could defeat them, but the world was unpredictable. When he really came to the front, he saw clearly the thief army on the opposite side that he had just wanted to be a mob. At that time, he immediately peed his pants. Seeing that this was before the battle, once the fight was started, it was not a safe place, so he did not need Niu Tai to persuade him, so he quickly went down the slope. After saying a few words, he hurriedly ran back under the protection of a team of guards.

Looking at the back of Eunuch Wang, the generals bowed their fists respectfully and made a gesture to see him off at the beginning, but when they saw him go far away, everyone immediately straightened up, and the corners of their mouths showed disdainful.

"Bah! What the hell is it? Isn't it just a eunuch? Dare to point fingers at us here! Bah!" Wang Youtian was the first to scold.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement with him, but after Niu Tai coughed, they immediately calmed down and waited for Niu Tai's instructions.

Niu Tai stationed at the horse and looked at the opposite Xing Tianjun, and his eyes gradually showed a worried look. The gap between ideal and reality was really too big. At first, they all thought that for such a thief army perched in a small Yangcheng County, with their troops, the other party would definitely run away, at least Hiding in the cottage, I didn't expect that their military appearance was so clean. Instead of shrinking, they went up against the wind and came here to block their way.

At this time, what everyone originally thought was overturned, and they were a little at a loss for a moment. Even Niu Tai had no idea how to fight this battle at this time.

After thinking for a while, Niu Tai also knew that at this time, even if he was afraid, he had no room to retreat. In addition to rushing over the thief army, he had no choice at all. Although he knew that the opponent would be very difficult to deal with, he could not lead his troops away, otherwise even if he led his troops to withdraw. In Zezhou City, his guerrilla position will also be unpreserving.

So this is the case. No matter how powerful the thief army in front of him is, he can only bravely supervise the army. If he can't win, he can only fight. After all, he still has the advantage of military strength at present. The other side only has half of their strength. He can only rely on this to fight hard.

He looked at the thief army opposite him. Although the armor of the thief army was very mixed, there were both iron armor and leather armor, as well as cotton armor removed from the officer army, but this was nothing. The main thing that surprised him was the proportion of the enemy's thieves and soldiers who would be equipped with armor and the armor of the opponent's main array. The proportion of armor is so high that even the regular officers and soldiers under his command can't reach this level, almost to the extent that everyone is wearing armor.

Although the weapons on the battlefield are very critical, the dependence on armor is also something that cannot be ignored. In the past, the thieves he met can be said to be very few thieves who can wear armor. One or two of the thieves can wear armor, even if it is quite good, but this thief army has reached eight. The above soldiers will have a piece of armor, which makes him confused. You know, in this world, armor is very difficult to get. The deserters among the officers and soldiers often turn to the rebellion with armor and throw themselves into the rebel camp. With their full armor, they can often be an official and a half in the thief army.

And this thief army's armor is equipped with a high rate of armor, and it is so strong. Is it possible that these guys used to be officers and soldiers, and the rebellion of the whole battalion became a pole?

Thinking of this, he immediately confirmed his idea, so he said to his subordinates, "Don't be careless! This group of thieves is obviously different from the thieves we have encountered before!"

When the generals heard this, they all curled their lips slightly. What they said was the same as if they didn't say it. Everyone was not blind. They all saw it really, and the whole thing was nonsense.

Niu Tai continued: "As expected, I'm afraid that a considerable number of people in this thieves used to be from officers and soldiers. Otherwise, it would be difficult to practice to such a level with a group of mud legs alone! So I'm afraid the thief army will know our tactics very well. We can't be careless!

I'm afraid you all know that we have no way out in this battle. Governor Wu has high hopes for sending me to destroy the thieves on this road. We can only move forward and defeat it. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's difficult for you and me to go back!

Therefore, this war is of great importance. You have to work together with me, but I also say that if anyone dares not to obey the military order, is afraid of war or retreat without authorization, don't blame me for thinking about the old feelings, but the military law is ruthless! Did you all hear it clearly?"

After hearing this, the generals were stunned and knew that Niu Tai was going to be serious today. Although he was just a guerrilla, he had the highest official position among this team. If he really did not show mercy and cut them in front of the battle, they would have no place to complain.

So all the generals quickly hugged their fists and answered, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I will follow the order!"

"Very good! So..." Niu Tai nodded with satisfaction and was waiting to be ordered to arrange his combat plan. Suddenly, he heard his own soldiers around him and said to him, "It's not good, the thief army has moved!"

So Niu Tai quickly turned his head and looked at the opposite side. Sure enough, the thieves on the opposite side didn't seem to be able to wait for them to kill, but took a step ahead and approached them.

"Quick! Everyone, please return to the headquarters immediately. Wang Youtian, you lead the cavalry to respond to the right! Hurry up! Lie in array to meet the enemy! Put Xiang Yong immediately in front of the battle and block it for a while!" Niu Tai didn't care about his combat deployment at a glance. He hurriedly ordered that the officers and soldiers suddenly became busy.

(Hold again, beg for red tickets!)
