The deputy general of the Qin Army pulled out the steel knife from his waist and raised it to the sky...

Liu Zongmin pulled out the steel knife from his waist and raised it to the sky...

The rumble of drums sounded, and the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded.

The 20,000 Qin army's cavalry were like arrows leaving the string, thinking of the rogue bandits on the opposite side and charging away. Behind them were tens of thousands of infantry led by General Yansui. The sergeants' eyes were filled with hatred and hatred.

Anger, at this moment, they want to spit out all their anger.

What followed was a crossbow whining through the air. The dark black crossbow was like a bloody mouth, about to swallow up fresh life.

A rain of arrows appeared in the sky at the same time, and the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air was particularly crisp.

This time, Sun Chuanting did not hold back at all. He mobilized his entire army and launched the attack against the rogue bandits with the strongest combination.

"Wow..."

"Bang..."

Almost no screams were heard. The first line of defense composed of sergeants from the new battalion was like a paper kite, floating away in an instant. There were many sergeants from the new battalion who fell to the ground and screamed. More sergeants from the new battalion,

They unconsciously turned their heads and fled towards the rear. The momentum displayed by the officers and soldiers had completely frightened them. How dare they raise their weapons to fight and resist.

Liu Zongmin's eyes roared, and the steel knife went down, flashing a cold light. A sergeant from the new battalion who turned around and fled fell to the ground, his head rolled to the side, and the blood in his neck spattered far away...

Unfortunately, there were too many sergeants retreating, and they were unable to resist the charge of the official cavalry. Even if the gods descended, they would not be able to stop the retreat of these new battalion sergeants.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the first direction of the new battalion of 50,000 sergeants was completely overwhelmed. The sergeants of the new battalion cried for their fathers and mothers and fled desperately, hoping not to be kicked by the war horses.

The only difference was that the sergeants of these new battalions fled towards the left and right wings.

The second line of defense is the defensive formation composed of infantry from the old battalion.

Perhaps the sergeants of the new battalion were defeated too quickly, and the infantry of the old battalion were not fully prepared. Therefore, they did not charge forward sharply. They just raised the steel knives and spears in their hands and shouted with all their strength.

Go forward.

"Bang..."

A more violent impact sound appeared.

The infantry of the old battalion consists of 70,000 people, and the formation is huge. The sergeants among them have experienced many battles and will not be easily defeated. At least they can stabilize the position.

However, the charging speed of the officers and soldiers was so fast and the momentum was so great that the infantry sergeants of the old battalion did not expect it at all.

Screams were accompanied by bloody scenes.

The charging Qin Army cavalry, like a sharp sword, instantly broke up the formation of the old battalion sergeants. The war horses rushed through the crowd, and the sergeants on the horses held up the steel swords and spears in their hands and kept waving them.

, a sheet of blood mist appeared, and there were screaming and fallen soldiers everywhere.

However, the infantry sergeants of the old camp did not break up, and not many turned around and fled. They persisted bitterly. The sergeants in front were beheaded and the formation was broken up. The sergeants behind them rushed forward one after another, raising the steel knives in their hands.

Spears joined the fighting group, but their charge did not change the situation of being passively beaten.

When the Qin army and Yansui border army infantry rushed forward, the situation changed instantly.

The war horses need to rush forward to maintain a high-pressure posture, and the purpose of the camp composed of 20,000 Qin Army and Yansui Border Army cavalry is to completely overwhelm the five formations formed by the rogue bandits. Only by completely overcoming all the rogue bandit formations can we guarantee

The final victory of the battle, so they will not stay for a long time and will not consume too much physical strength. The infantry who follow behind are the main force of the fight.

The infantry of Xuanfu, Datong and Shaanxi Guards Station belong to the third phalanx. They are also charging forward. Because the combat situation is at a complete advantage, they also rush forward desperately, fight desperately, and strive to kill

More bandits.

The second formation formed by the infantry sergeants of the old battalion could no longer hold up as the officer infantry rushed in.

...

Li Zicheng, who was holding a monocular telescope, turned livid. He never expected that Sun Chuanting and the army, who were already in a desperate situation, would actually burst out with such strong combat effectiveness. If the army always maintained such combat effectiveness, once he arranged the five

If the Taoist battle formation is broken through, the entire army will be completely overwhelmed. At that time, let alone defeating Sun Chuanting and the army, it will be good if he can save his life and escape.

Liu Zongmin was still directing the battle, commanding the infantry to desperately resist the army. However, the second line of defense composed of infantry sergeants from the old battalion was finding it difficult to sustain.

Li Zicheng thought about speaking to the messengers around him, but finally held back. At any other time, Li Zicheng would have issued an order to evacuate the entire line, but this time it didn't work. This battle was too critical. If Sun Chuanting and the army could be defeated,

Then the rebels can control the entire Central Plains and even launch an attack on Northern Zhili. However, if this battle fails, Li Zicheng will be forced to return to Kaifeng Fucheng to regroup the army. At that time, let alone attacking Shaanxi, even if

It would be very good if we could just keep Henan.

Li Zicheng, whose face was ashen, held a monocular and remained motionless. He was unwilling to give in.

Niu Jinxing next to Li Zicheng had an equally ugly expression. He originally thought that the officers and soldiers could easily break through the first formation. After all, it was a formation composed of new battalion sergeants and did not have much combat effectiveness. However, the officers and soldiers should not think about easily breaking through the second formation.

The second formation is, after all, the second formation composed of old battalion sergeants.

But the scene in front of them was completely unexpected. It took less than a quarter of an hour for the officers and soldiers to break through the first formation. The first formation composed of 50,000 new battalion sergeants hardly exerted any effect and was instantly overrun.

After they broke up, even if the law enforcement team attacked and killed many new battalion sergeants who were desperately trying to escape with machetes, it would be of no avail.

The second formation formed by the sergeants of the old battalion looked stronger. Although it faced a fierce attack by the army's cavalry, it did not rout or collapse. It still persisted. However, after the army's infantry rushed up, the situation changed dramatically.

The infantry sergeants of the old battalion, who were already struggling to support themselves, could not withstand the huge pressure and were forced to retreat.

The infantry battle was much more cruel. It was either you die or I lived. It seemed that the infantry of the army was extremely strong. Niu Jinxing saw it with his own eyes. When several infantry of the army fell, they hugged the old battalion tightly.

The sergeant fell to the ground together.

If the official army always maintains such a strong combat effectiveness, then the five formations formed by the rebels may really be broken through across the board.

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng beside him, lowered his head, and obviously began to think.

...

Sun Chuanting's body was trembling slightly. He kept holding a monocular and looked at the fighting on the battlefield.

The sergeants of the Qin Army and the Yansui Border Army were so brave. Sun Chuanting really did not expect that the sergeants showed such indomitable momentum when they charged, which made Sun Chuanting a little excited and couldn't help but want to rush forward and fight.

The first formation of the rogue bandits was broken through. Sun Chuanting had no expression on his face. He knew that these were just sergeants from the new camp of the rogue bandits. To put it mildly, these sergeants were hungry people not long ago and had no fighting ability. They joined the bandits.

They became sergeants. They were unable to face the impact of the Qin army and the Yansui border army sergeants.

In the Battle of Qixian, the army wiped out nearly 100,000 rogues, most of whom were sergeants from the new camp of the rogues. Although such a victory could greatly boost morale, for Li Zicheng, this was not a big loss.

When the cavalry faced the second formation of rogues, Sun Chuanting was slightly nervous. He knew very well that the rogues in the second formation were sergeants from the old camp and had certain combat effectiveness. However, the bravery of the soldiers once again exceeded Sun Chuanting's expectations.

The second formation was smashed to pieces. The cavalry did not waste any time. After breaking up the second formation of the rogue bandits, they continued to move forward.

The performance of the infantry greatly pleased Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was not particularly surprised by the performance of the infantry of the Qin Army and the Yansui Border Army. What surprised him was that the sergeants of the Xuanfu, Datong and Shaanxi Guards also showed murderous intent. They

When he rushes into the camp to fight, he is also brave and unafraid of death.

In less than an hour, the army under Sun Chuanting had already gained an absolute advantage, breaking through and defeating the first and second formations of the rogue bandits. You must know that there were more than 100,000 rogue bandits in these two formations.

For a moment, great pride surged into his heart, and Sun Chuanting even faintly regretted it. If he had known that his sergeants were so brave, there would be no need to attack Tongguan and directly turn around to deal with Li Zicheng and the rogue bandits.

The Chief Military Officer of Xuanfu and the Chief Military Officer of Datong were always by Sun Chuanting's side. They also saw the scene of fighting on the battlefield. Although they were not particularly concerned about the progress of the battle, they were still soldiers after all.

The chief military officer of the Xuanfu clasped his fists at Sun Chuanting and spoke.

"Sir, I would like to ask you to go to the battlefield and fight..."

The chief military officer of Datong also clasped his fists at Sun Chuanting and spoke.

"Sir, I would like to ask you to go to the battlefield and fight..."

Sun Chuanting still has a reserve force of 20,000, which are basically sergeants from Xuanfu, Datong and Shaanxi Guards. There are a total of 65,000 sergeants going into battle this time, including 20,000 cavalry, 45,000 infantry, and one

After many months of fighting, the army lost nearly 20,000 sergeants. Especially in the battle to attack the east gate of Tongguan, more than 10,000 people were lost, and most of them were sergeants from the Qin Army and the Yansui Border Army. This made Sun Chuanting particularly special.

heartbroken.

Turning to look at the Xuanfu Chief Military Officer and the Datong Chief Military Officer, Sun Chuanting nodded, they must be allowed to fight on the battlefield, otherwise, after the battle, the two of them will not have any merit, and it will not be justified.

"Okay, you each lead five thousand soldiers and launch an attack. Remember, we don't want any prisoners..."
