Chapter 206 Wolves

"What a group of strong men!" Even though he had seen Hu Dahai and a powerful general like Fu Youde, Zhu Bashiyi's eyes still lit up.

Zhu Liusi knew Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty in history. A while ago, he was just a small personal soldier brand. Because it promoted the alliance between the Huaian Army, Haozhou and Dingyuan families, it was promoted by Guo Zixing. Within two months, he was promoted several levels and quickly became the commander of the two thousand elite personal soldiers.

At this moment, the man who was called Tang Dingchen, who was standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, was the famous Tang He in history.

However, Zhu Bashiyi had no impression of the other three people. The messy historical knowledge that Zhu Dapeng mastered could not provide him with more help. However, since Guo Zixing pushed out these three people and Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander of the entire coalition, Zhu Bashiyi had to treat them equally. So he quickly gave up and changed a half-hearted gift and responded loudly, "Thank you for your support. Please wear armor to prepare for the war. When needed, Zhu naturally won't be polite!"

"Thank you, General Manager!" Zhu Yuanzhang and others saluted again, stepped back, walked to their respective direct teams, packed their armor and weapons with their brothers, and waited for the dispatch of the general at any time. Although the number of people was a little thin, it was no less than five times the elite than the surrounding chaotic Haozhou robes!

"No wonder I can take on the burden of expelling the Mongolian Yuan. I can really be considered a group of elite soldiers and powerful generals. Unfortunately, I was delayed by Lao Guo!" After quietly praising her in her stomach, Zhu Bashiyi quickly withdrew his gaze and scanned the entire battlefield again.

During the period when Guo Zixing recommended his wise men to him, the enemy troops in the south, east and northeast directions had already advanced a large part of each. In the south direction, the soldiers under the command of the South King Boluo Buhua of the Puppet Town advanced the fastest and moved forward for more than fifty steps. The team from the northeast direction, which was holding the yellow battle flag, most of the soldiers in the team, which were in yellow cloth, had more obvious restraint attitudes, and only advanced more than thirty steps forward, and began to organize the formation. The team in the east was in the propulsion distance between the two, but there were three green battle flags at the front, which seemed particularly eye-catching in the rolling smoke and dust. Under the battle flag were three huge square formations, with a size of no less than 5,000 people, and countless spears were erected above the square formation, just like three moving forests.

"From the banner, there are three 10,000-strong teams of Yi soldiers under Timur Buhua. The leaders are Zhu Liangzu of Luzhou, Xie Guoxi of Ningzhou and Liao Daheng of Sishui. Among them, Liao Daheng, fought with Guo Zixing and others a few months ago, but did not take any advantage and returned to Luzhou! However, Guo Zixing did not dare to send troops to chase him!" Chen Ji, a member of the army, walked forward and was very dedicated to the scene he saw, and witnessed the information collected in advance with everyone.

"Yes, it should be them!" Zhu Bashiyi nodded slightly. The appearance of Zhu Liangzu in Luzhou, Xie Guoxi in Ningzhou and Liao Daheng did not make him feel strange at all. After all, these three "Yi Soldiers" commanders were all subordinates of Xuan Rang Wang Timur Buhua. Since Timur Buhua came here in person, it is impossible for them to come and help the battle.

What surprised him a little was that the weapons held by the three square formations of the volunteer soldiers and the formations inside the square formations. From the command platform, the sight of them was almost all spears. Only the center of the square formation was filled with hundreds of people holding horn bows or holding crossbows. In the middle of each large square formation, there were countless small square formations of hundreds of people hidden, and the three nearby square formations showed a very obvious font shape. When moved, they were like balls of seaweed floating on the water, which was dazzling.

"It is the Three Talent Formation and the Fish Scale Formation. These three people are probably from the generals and are carefully thinking about how I can deal with the bombardment of our army's artillery!" Robben, the army officer, also walked forward and whispered. "The three of them took care of a large square formation, and advanced forward in a font shape with each other. The 100-man teams in each square formation are stacked into a font shape. They can take care of each other when they are engaged in war. When marching, it is difficult for the artillery on our army to be like before, and one strike is a blood alley!"

"Boom!" As he was speaking, the artillery of the Fifth Army had already begun to show its power. More than 30 four-jin cannons fired at the same time, shooting the solid black projectile directly in front of the 250-step outer line.

"Woo--!" Thirty projectiles, with a shrill roar, drew several gorgeous arcs in the sky between the enemy and us. Then they hit the enemy's square formation with a "boom", splashing out dozens of scarlet blood.

Only a half hit the useful target, and the rest hit the gap inside the enemy's phalanx, rolling in vain, and then silently. Among the projectiles hitting the target, less than one-third formed a jump, bounced up from the ground, causing the enemy's second and third rounds of killing. Although the scene was tragic, the number of people affected was very limited.

"Buzz!" The square formation that forms the front end of the character "Pin" paused for a very obvious momentum, and then suddenly began to speed up. "Don't be afraid, they can't hit a few people!" In the team, there were generals who were loudly boosting morale and trying their best to maintain the formation. "Come on, keep up and see their respective centurions recognize the flag. Distance, distance, and the hundred-man teams keep a distance, don't squeeze together. The denser they squeeze, the easier it is to get hit by shells!"

His summary was indeed very insightful. When the second round of shells hit, almost all of them hit a relatively dense position. This round of artillery shells was much more serious than the previous round, causing more than 60 casualties. Seven or eight hundred-man teams, whose morale was on the verge of collapse, had to stop and reorganize the formation. The entire square formation was also dragged down, and a clear gap appeared in the center. Around the gap were more than a dozen hundred-man teams that were mainly cared for by artillery. More than a thousand soldiers held horn bows and raising crossbows in their hands, and their legs were trembling, and they could move forward for a while.

"Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-" Another shrill hiss came in the air. The third round of artillery bombardment came, and there were thirty black solid projectiles, like a devil with wings, pounced on the large square formation in the air. "Crash!" The entire large square formation was divided into two from the center, and dozens of fish-scale teams of hundreds crowded together, pushing each other in vain, trying to escape the landing position of the shells, but they could not make accurate judgments at all, and they just accelerated the panic to spread around.

"Dongdong, dongdong, dongdongdong" At this moment, a low war drum suddenly sounded behind the three square arrays that were pushing forward in Pin characters. Immediately afterwards, the square array at the top of Pin characters slowly stopped. Then, the other two square arrays at the bottom of Pin characters suddenly accelerated forward, changing the entire Pin characters from upright to upside down. The two square arrays at the bottom were forward, and one square array at the top dragged back, and the three square arrays were inverted Pin characters, advancing quickly again towards the direction of the Fifth Army and Fu Youde troops.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The shells continued to rush into the square formation, but the targets changed from one to three. The threat was significantly reduced. The commanders of the three square formations, Zhu Liangzu, Xie Guoxi and Liao Daheng, gritted their teeth and rushed to the front of their respective teams. They led by the front, without fear!

"Yes!" Xuan, who was standing two hundred steps behind the Pinzi Formation, asked Wang Temur to stroke his beard without stroking his hand and nodded slightly. "No wonder, no wonder he could beat Qi Zhedu to no resistance. It is indeed difficult to deal with a big gun like this!"

"But this thing can only shock the civil servants who are ignorant of soldiers. Before the prince's magic tricks, the role it can play is very limited!" Zhang Qiong, the governor of Luzhou, came forward very tactfully and flattered with a smile.

"Yes, General Zhu and the others have already pressed up and can fight each other in close combat immediately. By then, the big musket will not play much role. What's more, the prince has a real killer move to follow behind!" Liu Wenzhong, the governor of Hezhou, was unwilling to let it go, and also commented with a dry smile.

"Isn't it? After defeating Zhu Tuhuo, we will take the big musket over and take it to Gaoyou City!"

"Bang Gaoyou, Huai'an, Xuzhou. Bang along the canal, let the court know who really knows how to use troops!"

After hearing this, the other civil and military aides also spoke. It seemed that the battle had already been divided, so they were waiting for them to take the seizure to show off their martial arts.

"You guys, don't take it lightly!" Xuan asked Wang Timuer to listen to it very much, but waved his hand modestly, "If you can seize Huai'an with thousands of bandits, then Zhu Tuhuo is definitely not an ordinary character. The reason why Liangzu and the others can push it is because their brothers are willing to work hard and be willing to pay for their capital. After all, so far, our army has not killed one soldier and one soldier on the other side!"

"It was the prince who planned it properly, so General Zhu and others could get closer to the enemy at the minimum cost!" The aides immediately changed their words and continued to ask Wang Timur to gild him on his face.

"Yes, the prince sets out three square formations at a time and turns forward in turn. Although the big muskets in the hands of the bandits are sharp, the number is limited after all. If you can take care of this and that, you will inevitably be in a hurry!"

The next word of flattery also hit the spot. Using three square arrays to form a product shape to disperse the firepower of the Huai'an army was indeed a trick that Xuan asked Wang Temur to not spend on himself. Zhu Liangzu, Xie Guoxi and Liao Daheng were just ordered to execute. This tactic of fully leveraging one side's sufficient military strength did cause some trouble to the artillery of the Huai'an army, making it difficult for them to concentrate their artillery to attack the same target. Soon, the three square arrays advanced to the position of seventy or eighty steps away from Fu Youde's battle flag, and then suddenly shouted and launched the final charge.

"Bang!" Lian Laohei's big gun battalion shot out a row of projectiles and shot dozens of enemy troops rushing to the front. But it was just a cup of water and fire. In front of the charge launched by tens of thousands of people, dozens of people died, which was negligible. The "Ruyi Soldiers" in Luzhou, who were not shot by the bullets, did not pause at all. They stepped on the corpses and bloodstains of their companions, and continued to rush with their heads down. It seemed that standing opposite was his own life-and-death enemy.

"The Red Army Explosing the Horses!" Xuan asked Wang Timur to wave the order flag without hesitation and pushed another chip in his hand up.

This is the real killer move he prepared for the Huai'an army. The three spear square formations in the first place were just to distract the enemy's attention. With this move, he and Boluo Bubu spent two ways to Ping Jiqing, Ping Jingzhou, Ping Huoshan, and Ping Wuhu, killing the rebels on both sides of the river to the point of blood. They sacrificed again today and were bound to kill Zhu Tuhu's head!
