As the head coach, the fifth relies on intelligence transmission and knows the situation of the enemy and us on the battlefield, but the tiny individuals in the war often fall into confusion and great fear.

The most uneasy thing among the Wei army was the civilians from Hanoi, who were responsible for transporting food and fodder as baggage units, and were often placed behind the array. They often only heard the sound of fighting and could not see the specific situation. The dark eyes made them uneasy. After all, there were rumors in the army that there were "hundreds of thousands" of red eyebrows outside.

"Don't spread nonsense, be careful of being convicted by the military judge." Xiang Ziping, who is from Chaoge County, cannot control others, and only reminds the villagers of this.

The past few months have moved with the army, which has made Xiang Ziping, who once had the ambition to retire, even stronger his heart to never join the army again.

War is really not a matter of glory or glory. Along the way, corpses were everywhere. Although they had never fought with the Red Eyebrow with their spears, they carried the bodies, digging pits, burning them after the war. The stench or incense that was lit by the pile of corpses was a nightmare that Xiang Ziping couldn't vomit cleanly no matter how many times he vomited.

Xiang Ziping's attitude towards Chimei and to this war also changed subtly, and from the initial anger of revenge for his brother, he gradually became numb and even bored.

It is so difficult to stand out among the talented Wei army without extraordinary skills and connections. Exhaustion and illness have already taken the lives of many civilians. Unlike soldiers, their deaths have not been given any pension, which has slowly awakened everyone.

So when the enemy is in front of them, they will not think about how to die to repay the emperor, but only said: "If the Wei army cannot stand it, we will learn from the things on the flag... and run away!"

That was the symbol of the rear army, the Double Rabbit Flag. It was said that it was a tradition for hundreds of years to let the reserve team take this flag. As for the meaning, no one can explain it clearly. Unlike Yinglong and the pike, the rabbit is famously timid.

Xiang Ziping remembered a poem "Rabbit Love" in the Book of Songs.

"There is a rabbit who is in love and the pheasant leaves in Luo. When I was born, I still did nothing; after I was born, I encountered this kind of evil."

He missed home and thought about his past life. Since the Red Eyebrow of the River has surrendered, Fan Chong is likely to be annihilated by the emperor here, so it is time for them to leave the army and manage their own small days.

"After this battle, I will return to Chaoge County and find a county official to receive a salary to support my nephews."

That's what he is good at.

But they soon had no time to chat. The Jizhou soldiers had already fought with the Red Eyebrows. The civilians were asked to transport arrows. Because they were afraid that the livestock would run around in the war, they were more transported by people. Faced with the charge of the Red Eyebrows, thousands of archers on the front line were consuming at the speed of tens of thousands of arrows per moment. Long-range weapons were a major advantage for the Wei army to face the Red Eyebrows.

After running back and forth a few times, Xiang Ziping was about to take everyone to rest and drink water, but suddenly heard the drumming in the rear army, and the villagers were shocked to a nest of rabbits.

Looking at the next door, Sanhe soldiers who were originally leaning or sitting in the temporary camp, sleeping with their heads hanging down, suddenly stood up after hearing the war drums and carried their spears in a daze. Xiang Ziping clearly saw a soldier who was younger than him and had hairless on his mouth, and his eyes were closed when he walked!

As the vanguard of the southward, many of the Sanhe soldiers did not sleep for two nights, so they were so tired.

So the mission location changed. Xiang Ziping and others were ordered to follow the Sanhe soldiers. He stared at their backs and the army obeyed orders. If he lost his way, he ran slowly or entered other teams and disrupted the order, he would commit the crime of "going out of the army and supporting the front and back". The civilians might not have to die, but as the garrison commander, he would definitely die!

No wonder the civilians joked that in the Wei army, the probability of being executed by a military judge was much higher than that by being killed by the Red Eyebrow!

After the first arrow was transported and when he returned to the rear army, Dou Rong ordered them to send the extra palladium and horse forks quickly.

As the name suggests, horse fork is used to deal with cavalry, but the red eyebrows have almost no such type of troops. The burden of these long poles is still eaten in the baggage force. Why do you suddenly remember it?

Xiang Ziping was not qualified to intervene, so he just executed immediately. When he brought his men to deliver the horse fork, the originally messy Sanhe soldiers had formed a strong formation in just a moment and were urgently allocating the horse fork to the front row for use. The neat queue gave the villagers a lot of confidence...

But with the rapid drum beats, the Sanhe soldiers' expressions became more and more nervous. With the sound of "topping", Xiang Ziping was fortunate to see the collision between the two armies within a hundred steps: long wooden ladders crashed into the front of the Wei army, and the neat front line was washed away. However, with the horse fork, many wooden ladders were rejected outside. With the arches and crossbows, spears were pricked, and the Red Eyebrow vanguard fell down. The wooden ladder fell weakly and was stepped on by countless people.

This sudden outbreak of battle shocked Xiang Ziping. Even though the Sanhe soldiers pushed Chimei back with difficulty, he was still in a daze until he was kicked by his boss.

"Stop and make a fuss? Take the wounded!"

That's right, the civilians and the logistics forces have another task, which is to send the wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness to the rear for resettlement.

Many people died on the spot in the violent collision just now, but more people struggled to squeeze out the battlefield after being traumatized. They either had color on their bodies or had pale faces, and passed by the military judges one by one, and only then were taken over by the baggage troops after obtaining permission.

Xiang Ziping found that the person he was supporting was the young soldier who had not sleeped enough with his eyes closed when he gathered. Blood flowed from his armor. He heard his faint tone say, "It hurts his shoulders and can't lift the knife."

The Hanoi accent sounds like a person in Huai County. It seems that he is a fellow villager. Looking at his shoulders, his iron armor was cut off from the iron leaves, and then he was stabbed in by a spear. A hole was broken and stained with some blood.

It was still the rule that the emperor established the fifth reunion. The seriously injured were carried away by objects called "stretchers". Now there are not enough stretchers, and the door panels are gathered. Those who are slightly injured move back with swords and weapons. They have specially marked routes and do not hinder the soldiers who support the battlefield. The fifth reunion does not require everyone to be injured like Zhang Zong and Zheng Tong, and continue to fight to the death.

Although the Hanoi soldiers were full of pain, Xiang Ziping, as the only knowledgeable person in the country, also learned some medical skills. After entering the ranks, he came into contact with some "battlefield first aid" promoted by the Fifth Emperor. When he took the initiative to bandage the soldiers to stop bleeding, he said in a panic that there was no need...

"How could the blood stop so quickly?"

Xiang Ziping understood that this young soldier was entrusting his wounds to get sick to avoid the battle formation. According to the military law he remembered, this was called cheating the army, and the offenders were killed.

The soldier cried and said, "When I was caught in the spear, I felt that my arms were broken. I stepped back in a hurry and said that I was seriously injured. I just found out that the spear had penetrated the armor, but it only broke my flesh. But if the military officer knew about it, I would probably have to deal with it."

He begged Xiang Ziping in a low voice: "Brother, you are from Hanoi with your accent. You are also from the township party. I hope to hide it for me. I have an old father in my family, and I have a lover waiting for me to go back and get married."

"I give my brother money... the one who blocks the tip of the spear for me is the silk clothes that I have done after making meritorious service. They are wrapped in the armor. Although they are a little dirty and torn, just wash them."

Xiang Ziping didn't know why this soldier had to join the army. Chimei did not invade Huai County. Was it because of the Latin that each county had the heads? Or was it inspired by the emperor's manifesto to attack Chimei, and wanted to make a fortune?

Looking at his pale face, he was obviously frightened by the charge and fierce fighting of the Red Eyebrows just now. The soldier followed the emperor from Hanoi to Pushui, and survived the marching again, but lost to fear at the last moment.

"rest assured."

Xiang Ziping said to him: "I won't be embarrassed by you."

He held his soldiers' backs to the battle formation, and the sound of fighting seemed to be getting farther and farther away. They were getting closer and closer to safety, and their steps became much lighter.

But somehow, the young Sanhe soldier lowered his head and started crying.

"I'm sorry to rob, I'm sorry to General Zhang, Your Majesty."

When Xiang Ziping returned to the rear army again, he heard the captain shouting loudly, Sili's captain Dou Rong telling the civilians what the baggage soldiers said:

"The reason why the rear army used the Double Rabbit Flag was to respond to a sentence in the poem: the solemn rabbit bobble, the stern Ding Ding, the brave warrior, the duke and marquis Gancheng. The baggage team was the city guard behind the Sanhe soldiers! Then send these arrows to General Zhang!"

This poem is too far-fetched. "Rare Martial Veterans" like Dou Rong and Zhang Zong are indeed the country's Gancheng, but they put rabbits on the Duke and Marquis to replenish rabbits, while the civilians are more like little rabbits panicked on the battlefield.

But this is also the reason why Xiang Ziping felt that the Wei army would win this battle.

The timid bunches like him should have shivered under the red eyebrows knife like they used to be, without any resistance. But now, no matter how fearful they are in their hearts, they are still driven by the emperor, relying on the inertia of several months of training, and once again push a heavy deer cart to the place where the fighting sounds the most! Everyone has only one sentence in their hearts.

"Prepare the red eyebrows quickly and let us go home!"

...

On the battlefield, there were cowards and fearless death soldiers, such as the Wei army, and the same was true for the Red Eyebrow.

Fan Chong's elite troops rushed towards Sanhe soldiers, and he was indeed continuing in the overall situation, hoping to open a breakthrough from behind.

But there are also people who are constantly retreating from the front, including those who are colored, but there are also people who have no wounds on their bodies and are simply scared by the fierce fighting.

The Wei army was also in charge of the military supervision, killing the fugitives to intimidate others. The Red Eyebrow did not have such fine management at all. At the beginning, the retreat was still a single person, and slowly fell to the ground and even got up in groups.

Among them, one of them had a conscience and ran back to Fan Chong to complain, saying that the Wei army was indeed difficult to attack, and the long ladder did not have a good effect. Everyone was not full of breakfast, so they went back to take a break and then went up.

Those who were heartless, as they saw that the Wei army formation was difficult to break, ran away with their subordinates. This is the reason why the 200,000 to 300,000 before the war, and now less than half of them come to fight the Fifth Reunion. In the chaotic times, the people who were thinking about "preserving their strength" were not just the Hebei tyrants?

"If it were a new army, it would have been defeated at this moment."

"If the one who faced Green Forest, we would have broken the formation and entered a long time ago."

"Didn't it mean that Ma Yuan is the number one general of Wei State? Why is it even more difficult to deal with the fifth personal expedition?"

The Red Eyebrows were very anxious. The Wei army's strength exceeded Chimei's expectations and frequently asked Fan Chong for instructions.

Fan Chong was also quite uncomfortable. Although Chimei relied on the number of people and was still attacking now, that was because the fifth reunion still had more than 10,000 elite troops not invested in the battlefield. He was forcing Fan Chong to take action first.

Fan Chong also held ten thousand people at hand, and the Red Eyebrow veterans who usually had the best food and drink and had the most land, once they threw them in, they could create advantages in the Jizhou soldiers or the Sanhe soldiers. But in that case, his trump card was all over, and the fifth relationship could be supported calmly.

It is difficult to have a "shock soldier" descended from the sky on the Great Plains. However, there are cavalry in the fifth relationship. The time has come to test the commander of both sides.

“Wait a little longer.”

Xu Xuan, who came from Suiyang, has not arrived yet, and Fan Chong no longer expects him.

Fan Giant gritted his teeth and looked at the south: "Ma Yuan suffered heavy losses and it is difficult to fight again. As long as Yang Yin's 40,000 people headed north quickly and dragged the Wei army forward, I could personally break the formation!"

But soon, Fan Chong knew that Yang Yin would never come again!

...

Let’s talk about it in two ways, and half an hour ago, Ma Yuan, the southernmost part of the battlefield.

After Gaiyan's rescue failed yesterday, the 100,000 Red Eyebrows attacked from all sides again, almost unable to save their car base.

Fortunately, Ma Yuan personally fought to coordinate the situation and let the heroes in iron armor stand on the front line. In addition, the Red Eyebrow Army lacked long-range shooting weapons, so he could only attack the Wei army's crossbow, and the door panel on his hand was full of arrow feathers. After nightfall, Fan Chong used fire attacks, but unfortunately there was a spring rain a few days ago, and the grass in mid-spring was not easy to burn.

After dawn, Ma Yuan saw the Yanzhu in the north and was observing the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army, and also reported that the Red Eyebrow thief was tempted to withdraw.

"South or north?"

If it is the former, it means that Fan Chong is cowardly and intends to avoid war and wants to escape from Heji. If it is the latter...

Then Ma Yuan respects Fan Chong as a man!

After several days of distress, Ma Yuan finally waited for this moment. His emperor had no mistake. Sure enough, he rushed his troops. Chimei had missed the opportunity to retreat and could only fight a decisive battle here to bet on fate and future!

But there are more than 100,000 Red Eyebrows, and only half of the Wei army soldiers arrived on the battlefield. This is a pot of raw rice...

"I have to gather the fire from behind for His Majesty."

There were less than 10,000 left in Ma Yuan's troops, and they were exhausted after fighting for several days. Because Ma Yuan asked them to implement the strategy of replacing people but not changing armor, the injured had to hand over the armor to the new force. Almost everyone had fought with Chimei, and as many as one-third of the injured were.

At this moment, no matter whether they are injured or sick, they are all sank on the ground. Some people actually fell asleep and never woke up again. When Ma Yuan asked the captain and the garrison commanders to awaken the soldiers, they no longer had the high morale when they sang "Fighting the City South" and "With Clothes" with Ma Yuan the day before yesterday. The fatigue after the battle made everyone unable to get up.

Ma Yuan also knew that the soldiers had worked hard, but if he let the red eyebrows that surrounded him leave calmly, lying evenly to wait for the battle to end, Ma Yuan would be ashamed of this in his life.

"Everyone."

Ma Yuan refused the simple loudspeaker handed over by his subordinates - a copper-skin loudspeaker. This was made by the craftsmen of the fifth family and distributed to various armies after being produced by the craftsmen of the Shaofu Palace, which was mainly convenient for pre-war calls.

But Ma Yuan has enough confidence in his voice.

He stood on a rock, pointed to the north and said, "Did you hear the drum beat?"

"Did you see those kites?"

"Your Majesty's army has arrived, and the red eyebrows have become fish at the bottom of the cauldron, and it is hard to escape!"
