"Mr. Li! Lord. Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!"

A follower of the military who reported the news, while sprinting down from the north wall, he looked blue with a gloomy tone, sitting not far from the inside of the southern gate of Nanyang. Li Bei, the general of Ruzhou who was eating supper, reported loudly from afar.

Li Bei, who had just eaten two bites of rice, immediately widened his eyes and stopped the chopsticks he was plucking.

"What did you say? Are reinforcements really coming?!"

"It's true that I'm here. The little one has seen clearly in the Qianli Miles Miles. A large number of official reinforcements rushed from the north official road. The big sun and moon flag they were fighting, and the little one can see clearly!"

Li Bei immediately threw away the dishes and chopsticks. Without saying a word, he headed straight to the observation deck of the North City.

When he came up to the observation deck, a soldier quickly handed the Qianlijing to Li Bei. Li Bei held up the Qianlijing and looked at it. Sure enough, four or five miles away from the north, there were already smoke and dust rolling, horse hooves rumbled, and huge flags flew in the cold wind. The most conspicuous ones were the Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Dynasty and the Tiger Roaring Sun Flag with red gold lines.

Li Bei slowly put down Qianlijing, and half-opened his mouth, and a bright smile suddenly surged on his face like a desperate situation.

At this time, deputy generals Liu Zhaoji, guerrilla Luo Dai and other generals also rushed here.

"What a Niu Biao, I actually invited reinforcements so quickly. It's really incredible!" Deputy General Liu Zhaoji also had a smile of surprise and glory on his face.

"That's strange. There are no such large number of official troops in Nanyang Prefecture, but I don't know where Niu Biao invited him?" Guerrilla Luo Dai looked puzzled.

"Haha, Niu Biao's luck is just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse." Li Bei smiled and said, "From my army, he probably broke through the siege and walked not far away, and happened to meet the government army going south to rescue, so he immediately attracted the government army to the aid. Humph, this kid got a credit for it."

"Oh." Liu Zhaoji nodded as if he suddenly realized: "Now reinforcements have arrived, then our army must cooperate with them inside and outside to fight out of the city and destroy the old Hui Hui tribe outside the city in one fell swoop?"

Li Bei narrowed his eyes, but a trace of darkness flashed across his stern face. He shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate. Our army has been defeated in a row recently, with only three thousand soldiers left in the city, while the old Huihui tribe outside the city has nearly 30,000 bandit troops. If the troops are led out of the city, if there is a mistake, this Nanyang City will be handed over to the bandits."

"Then General Li means, just sit in the city and watch Lao Huihui fight with the helping troops? I'm afraid that this is a bit inappropriate, right?" Luo Dai said hesitantly.

Luo Dai's words made Li Bei feel a little fever on his face. He pretended to cough twice, but he still insisted: "Everyone, our army has few troops, so we must not go out of the city to fight easily. Let's observe the situation outside the city. If reinforcements win, it will not be too late for our army to send troops again."

Liu Zhaoji Luodai looked at each other and finally won

While Li Bei and other generals guarding the city were standing at the top of the city and watching, the old Hui and Hui general who was stationed outside the north gate of Nanyang City, his son Ma Chao, had a dissatisfied expression.

"The older my father is, the less courageous he is in the war, isn't it just that there is a group of Ming troops with thousands of troops? What's the point? He dares to come to Nanyang City, but I want him to taste the power of our army and let these Ming dogs never come back!"

The one who said this was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Shouying, the old Hui Hui.

He is a young man in his twenties, with outstanding talents and outstanding martial arts skills. Because he has the same name as Ma Chao, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, he promised himself in the old Hui Hui tribe as Ma Mengqi. He used a wooden steel spear and a bright and dazzling armor, which had a bit of the charm of Ma Chao.

"Young Master, the origin of this Ming army is unknown. The old leader said that you still need to deal with it carefully." The whistleblower who came to pass the message urgently reminded him carefully.

"Enough, I understand." Ma Chao waved his hand impatiently and signaled the whistleman to retreat: "You tell my father that our army is more than 7,000 troops outside the north gate are enough to block the Ming army coming to help, and let him relax."

Seeing the whistle cavalry hesitantly retreating, Ma Chao sneered and added: "Our army has strong combat power. Over the years, whether in Shaanxi, Shanxi, or even in Henan, there are any Ming troops who can be our opponents! How strong can the reinforcements on the opposite side be? Let me lead the army to fight the Ming army, who is seeking death, cut off the head of the chief general, and then report the merits to my father."

After saying that, Ma Chao turned around, looked at the bronze mirror carefully as narcissistically, tidied up the armor on his body, and then pushed open the door and went out.

As soon as he opened the tent door, Ma Chao was stunned.

"Father......"

Standing outside the door, almost standing close to Ma Chao, was the old Hui Ma Shouying.

Old Hui Hui Ma Shouying stared at him fiercely, his eyes filled with worries about how much he was.

"Chao'er, I know that you have outstanding martial arts and arrogance, so I don't take this Ming Dynasty reinforcements seriously. I just want to tell you that fighting on this battlefield is something that no enemy can despise. You must understand that there is a reason why there are people outside the heavens and people outside the heavens. Be cautious in everything, and it is always a good thing."

After hearing Lao Huihui's words, a hint of anxiety flashed across Ma Chao's face.

He held back his impatient nature and replied in a low voice, "My father saw that he was taught, the child wrote it down."

Lao Hui looked at him with complicated eyes, then sighed and said, "Chao'er, I hope you can really listen to it. For the sake of stability, I will send your uncle to lead his own troops and horses to join your soldiers and the rest of the Beimen stationed troops to form 15,000 troops and horses to block the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Lao Huihui instructed earnestly: "This Ming army is unknown. When we go to fight, we need to be careful and cautious. Everything must be followed by your uncle's arrangements. If we find that the momentum is wrong, we must not fight. We can go back to this Nanyang City and send troops to our father to help us."

Seeing that his father distrusts himself and makes his uncle Ma Shoucheng compete with him for his achievements, Ma Chao was very upset. He suppressed his anger and casually agreed: "I just follow my father's arrangements."

Lao Huihui didn't say much, so he asked Ma Chao and his brother Ma Shoucheng to order their troops and attacked the Ming reinforcements four miles away.

Looking at the old Hui Hui troops who were coming to block the array, Li Xiao felt a little regretful.

Originally, he was thinking of taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to rush to the city and defeating the caught-off Lao Huihui troops in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Lao Huihui was cautious by nature and even deployed the whistle cavaliers more than ten miles away, thus causing Li Xiao's surprise attack plan to vain.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart that this old Huihui could travel across Shaanxi and Gansu for many years without any mistakes. In addition to the strong combat power of his army, this person's cautious personality also helped him greatly, and he was careful to make a thousand-year-old ship.

Li Xiao knew that it would be difficult to defeat Gao Yingxiang's troops as he did before.

After all, it is impossible for me to always encounter generals like Gao Yingxiang who are reckless and underestimated by the enemy. It seems that today, there will be a real tough battle.

And it is a hand-to-hand fight mainly in cold weapons battles.

Because he was on the way as soon as possible, Li Xiao threw all the catapult troops and a group of auxiliary soldiers who were transporting baggage and ammunition behind, and arranged three thousand infantrymen from Zudale Club to protect them.

Now, only the cavalry of Li Xiaojun, the gun shield soldiers, the rampant scepter, the Lumi gunman, and the entire cavalry of Zudale Club rushed to the outside of Nanyang City.

In this way, in addition to the troops killed and injured in the last battle, Li Xiao and Zu Dale's coalition had only 15 shield soldiers, about 1,500 soldiers, about 30 spearmen, about 50 gunmen, 780 heavy cavalry of Xuanhu, 790 flying kites, 560 rampant squads, and 1,900 cavalry of Zu Dale. The total force was about 8,000.

As the enemy soldiers got closer, Li Xiao noticed that the Lao Huihui soldiers on the opposite side had about 10,000 infantrymen and more than 4,000 cavalrymen.

Seeing that the enemy was powerful, Li Xiao's face was solemn.

"Li Xiao, our army is tired from afar, and the number of enemy troops is nearly twice that of our army. This battle is not easy to fight." Zu Dale said with a worrying face.

"General Li, why don't our army retreat for the time being and wait for the catapult behind to come and fight the enemy?" Li Dingguo, deputy battalion commander of Chifeng Camp, also frowned.

"No!"

Li Xiao decisively rejected: "The catapult army is still far behind, and it is too late to catch up. Now that the enemy has sent troops to attack, our army is not too late to retreat. Besides, our army is tired from coming, and the soldiers can only be brave enough to fight the rest of their courage and attack them in one go, but they must never turn around and retreat to discourage the morale of the army!"

"Transfer our military orders, and the entire army lined up on the spot, then steadily stepped forward to attack him. At the same time, except for the Xuanhu heavy cavalry and our guards gathered together, thinking that the reserve team, the rest of the cavalry were all on one side. After the war started, they would go around to the enemy's flanks, strive to defeat one side, and then take the opportunity to move to expand the results of the battle!"

"Get orders!"

Li Xiaojun immediately set up a long snake formation on the spot, and the entire gun and shield battle formation expanded by as much as 1.5 kilometers, and began to press forward step by step.

Looking at the coming of sternness, although the number of people was only more than half of them, Li Xiaojun was full of pressure and murderous aura, Ma Shoucheng, the general commander of the army, and his nephew Ma Chao, had a fierce quarrel.

The key difference between the two quarrels is that Ma Shoucheng must line up to defend on the spot, while Ma Chao must attack the entire army quickly.

"Nephew, please listen to my uncle's words. According to my opinion, this Ming army is unknown, but its momentum is strict and its progress is orderly. It must be an elite army in the Ming army, but our army needs to deal with it carefully. Therefore, my uncle believes that it is better to defend it carefully on the spot to be steady." Ma Shoucheng said with a frown.

Ma Chao squinted him and snorted coldly, "Uncle, I don't understand. This Ming army is not large in number and has been advancing for a long distance. Its momentum has declined. Our army is waiting for work, which is a great opportunity to attack and attack! Why do you still have to defend the land so depressed? This is simply ambition for others and destroy your own majesty!"

Ma Shoucheng lowered his face: "Ma Chao, why don't you understand the uncle's painstaking efforts? The enemy is uncle, and being cautious in everything is always a good thing. Now the uncle is the general of the army, and I decided to make a decision. Could it be that you must object? Did you forget how your father told you before leaving the army?"

Ma Chao snorted coldly, and a sneer flashed across his handsome face: "How dare you? How dare you? My uncle is the general of the commander, and my nephew will obey. But to be honest, you are also a general of war formation for a long time, but your fear of this Ming army really makes me cold!"

Ma Shoucheng was furious: "Ma Chao, you are too presumptuous! Uncle warned you that if you do not obey the command and dare to act recklessly, Uncle will engage in military law in your hands!"

Ma Chao's face turned red. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and snorted deeply from his nose, but he didn't say anything again.

Finally, under the arrangement of Ma Shoucheng, the bandits' blocking battle formation was also arranged in a shape, but it was slightly wider than the length of the Li Xiaojun's gun and shield battle formation. Ma Shoucheng's intention was to use the extra width of his own battle formation to double-team Li Xiaojun from both sides after the two armies were connected.

The three thousand cavalrymen who were personally led by Ma Chao were arranged on both sides to cover the flanks of the infantry.

The cold wind was whistling, the wilderness was vast, and the Qingshui River to the west was like a gray-white ribbon, leaving silently. Under the reflection of the sun gradually westward, the battle formations between the Ming army and the bandits gradually approached, the people, horses, weapons and armor were all printed and dyed into a faint golden yellow.

Looking at the Li Xiaojun battle formation getting closer and closer, Ma Chao could feel that his young and strong heart was beating violently almost uncontrollably.

He clearly saw that, except for the main general in the middle, nearly a thousand cavalry guards, almost all of the cavalry were concentrated on the other side to protect the right wing of the Ming army's infantry battle formation. On one side in front, except for hundreds of heavy armored infantry, the entire Ming army's left wing had no protection.

Ma Chao's eyes suddenly showed a greedy gaze like a vicious wolf.

If your own elite cavalry can defeat these hundreds of heavy armored infantry in one fell swoop, then next, whether it is rushing against the enemy infantry on his back or simply attacking the enemy's chief general, there will be a great chance of victory.

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at his uncle Ma Shoucheng on the other end with an expectant look. He sincerely hoped that Ma Shoucheng could immediately issue an order to lead his army to attack.

What disappointed him was that there was no movement on Ma Shoucheng's side. This man didn't even look at himself, as if he was waiting for Li Xiaojun to attack. Apart from that, he would not think about him anymore.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and twitched his face, and scolded Ma Shoucheng in his heart.

As Li Xiaojun approached one step closer, when he was only about 500 steps away from the bandit formation opposite, the anger in Ma Chao's heart completely burst out.

Fuck him, can't wait any longer!

If you really miss such a rare opportunity for impact, you will regret it!

His Ma Shoucheng is afraid of death and fears fear of war. But I, Jin Ma Chao, can no longer be as cowardly as these people!

So what if you violate military orders, so what if you don’t obey commands? Let’s see when I defeat the enemy’s wing and even kill the chief general, but you, Ma Shoucheng, are not ashamed!

"brush!"
