Yang Xuan muttered behind him: "You are not a few years older than him, but you are scheming but seem to be an old bureaucrat in his thirties and forties..."

Zheng Yunming just did not know, and he ordered loudly: "The troops were divided into roads and along the streets and alleys! Establish a safe area on the west gate! Gradually evacuate the people to the safe area! Place the silence of the street at the entrance, so that a chaotic army will break through!"

As soon as the general order was issued, several armies advanced forward in different directions. While sheltering the fugitive people, she began to kill the rebellious enemy troops.

At this time, the rioters had already entered the vicinity of the yamen. Although the two were shot to death by the guards of the yamen, they did not dare to invade the yamen easily, but they burned houses, robbed shops, and cursed loudly on the nearby north streets. Not only did the people escape, but even the local soldiers and the southern army that maintained order in the city dared to approach.

The rioters who were sabotaging their willful destruction found that the ranks were neat, and the gang of soldiers with flags were pressing towards them from the west. A man with the appearance of a leader whistled, and the rioters immediately stopped the robbery. The crowds of people gathered in groups of three or three to form a huge group, waving weapons in their hands and shouting and rushing towards the Tulong Army.

The spearmen who walked at the front of the Tulong Army were soon attacked like bricks and tiles. Some were thrown from the front, and some were thrown by the chaotic soldiers on the roofs on both sides of the long street. Despite the armor, many spearmen were hit on the head and arms. They endured the pain and held the spears in their hands and continued to move forward.

At this time, I heard the order behind me: "The spear team stopped moving forward and separated the queue!"

Lins of black oil guns separated from the middle of the road, standing on both sides made room for the rear team to advance.

The soldiers holding huge bamboo leather cards in the brigade rushed to the forefront of the team from behind.

"The shield player of the rear army!" Lu Qingchun, deputy general of the rear army, stood at the front of the team, raised the wide bamboo card to cover his body, and shouted: "The 100-day training is only for today, and the turtle shield formation is formed!"

Two hundred people shouted in unison and raised their shields in front of them.

The leader of the army shouted: "The vanguard formed a formation!"

Twenty huge shields that were enough to cover the body were held high and leaned tightly against each other, forming an airtight shield wall.

"The left wing formation!"

The shield wall on the left side of the queue was formed instantly, covering the entire left wing under a solid leather card.

"Right wing formation!"

"The guards formed a formation!"

The square formation is surrounded by four shield walls, like a small city composed of shields.

Lu Qingchun shouted loudly: "Raising the shield over the top!"

The soldiers in the center of Shield City raised their shields and placed them above their heads. The shields were densely arranged in fish-scale shapes on the top of the army, completely covering the top of the queue.

The formation has been completed, Lu Qingchun shouted intently: "All teams should pay attention to the same pace, and the turtle shield will move forward!"

A huge turtle shell made of countless shields covered the officers and soldiers of the Earth Dragon Army and launched an attack on a large group of rebels gathered near the garrison.

The rebels saw the Southern Army on the opposite side forming an airtight shield formation, and they even more worked hard to throw bricks and stones at the shield formation. But of course the small stones and tiles could not cause any damage to the strong cowhide shield. The shield hands of the Tulong Army stepped on the rubble under their feet and slowly moved the formation closer to the riot army.

"Notify the archers and pay attention to the protection of the turtle shield formation!" Wang Deng, who was watching the battle behind, found that someone in the chaos army was ready to use a spear to stab the shield formation.

The Turtle Shield Formation was popular for a long time in ancient times. At that time, the cavalry equipment was quite primitive, and infantry lacked sufficient combat skills. Most of the damage on the battlefield was caused by bows and arrows.

To deal with bows and arrows, the best choice is to put the shield in and not even an arrow. This is a protective method that people can think of at first.

So the turtle shield formation was born. However, it is true that this formation has excellent protective effect on light long-range weapons, and its disadvantages are obvious.

It is not something that can be done overnight to get hundreds of people holding shields and moving forward in a consistent manner. It requires soldiers to practice day after day to use it skillfully. The manpower and material resources invested in it are quite expensive to convert.

However, this expensive formation cannot survive on the current field battlefield. Nowadays, cavalrymen rode light-backed horses covered with felt mats during the Qin and Han dynasties, and the cavalry who used their legs to clamp the belly of the horses were already well equipped, and their control over the horses was more flexible. They used various cavalry rifles and long-range slights to easily break through the shield wall composed of manpower.

Today's infantry no longer just use simple bronze swords and bronze spears to fight. The lethality of various pure steel weapons they equipped has increased exponentially, not to mention the heavy axe that shield soldiers fear the most.

Not to mention, on today's battlefield, infantry can move flexibly and automatically. Even soldiers wearing dozens of kilograms of armor have a mobility and flexibility than this heavy and clumsy turtle. If they really form this formation to fight the enemy on the field battlefield, the opposite side will be the Mongolian heavy cavalry with long spears, the Southern Song infantry team with iron armor and spears, and even the British army of Tubo, Dali and Goryeo can defeat them effortlessly.

But fighting in the city is a different scene.

Several chaotic soldiers rushed towards the turtle shield formation with red lacquer wooden spears, and were soon shot through the body by the crossbow arrows shot out of the turtle shield formation.

The shield hands in the front row were equipped with crossbows that could fight melee, and kept firing in the gaps between the shields, targeting those rioters who used long weapons.

The enemy became even more panicked when they saw the crossbow arrows shooting out in the shield formation. Several brave and fearless guys rushed over with their axes, trying to break out a gap in the shield formation.

When they rushed to the shield formation, the bamboo strip slid to the side, and several black spear-headed hook and sickle spear suddenly emerged from the formation, hooking the unexpected enemy and dragging it into the formation.

The archers who followed the turtle shield formation began to shoot arrows at the enemy, and the chaotic troops rushing up with heavy axemen were shot by arrows, and they gave up their weapons and turned around to escape.

The ranks of the rioters began to retreat, and this was the best opportunity.

Hu Yanyu, who was standing behind the turtle shield formation, smiled at Yang Xuan and said, "Commander, let's compete. Whoever threw it is accurate and ruthless."

Yang Su stretched out the tendons of his arms and sighed, "I'm old, maybe I'm not as accurate as I was when I was young." Then he lit a fire thorn, put it in a leather nest, and pulled the belt on his head with his hand and waved it.

He waved and sang in a loud voice: "The children in the village are shocked when they hear the strings. Who knows the fire meteor in the world? New loess is made into mud balls, and the secret medicine of nitrification and sulfur is hidden in it, tight skin sheaths, white wolf tendons, flying like a Hu spiral, flying light and fire enter the enemy camp, suddenly like thunderbolts, thieves sling guns and escape to the ground, and only then can they realize that this thing is really famous..."

The caltrops that were rotating rapidly in the singing drifted across the track of a meteor with crackling sparks and fell into the scrambled soldiers. They made a loud roar in an instant, and the black smoke rose into the air, and the scattered soldiers ran away in the pungent smoke.

Imitating Yang Lei's appearance, the firearms players began to wave their belts and threw fire caltrops at the enemy group.

Of course, the fire talcs have no substantial damage, but it is the best tool for intimidation when dealing with violent bandits. The huge sound and pungent smoke made the soldiers who defeated the enemy's army feel terrified. Many people put down their swords and guns and knelt on the ground and waited for the Tulong Army to come and capture them.

The remaining stubborn people quickly fled to Dongcheng, which was the first place they started to cause trouble. If they could rob the civilian ships on the Han River from Xiangyang City from the east gate, they might also flee to Mongolia.

But they soon discovered that this place was a dead end.

A large number of invincible soldiers brought by the Zhenjiang governor Li Hu gathered at the east gate. They shouted loudly and slashed at each soldier with a crescent sign on his shoulders and arms (this is the arm mark that defeats the enemy).

The remaining enemy troops fought hard, and except for the Southern Army's troops, it was impossible to get close to the East Gate half a step closer than to increase their injustice.

At this time, the Tulong Army horses covered by the Turtle Shield Array were surrounding the east gate. The Turtle Shield Array was pushing forward firmly, knocking any people blocking the front side with huge inertia. The Tulong Army's knife hands followed forward, tied the dejected Northern Army ropes into a string, and escorted them to the west gate.

Thousands of enemy troops crowded in the east gate found themselves in an encirclement of turtle shield formations in several directions.

The occasional whim of chaos on the 20th day has already entered a desperate situation at this time.

The turtle shield formation was still twenty steps away from the turtle huddle together. With the clear commands of the generals of each army, the turtle shield formation stopped advancing at the same time.

A general of the Earth Dragon Army jumped out in the shadow of the door flag. He wore a phoenix-winged helmet and the chain armor on his body shone with silver-white light. He shouted angrily at the rioters: "I won't surrender at this time, do you still want to seek death!"

Yang Xu frowned and looked at Wang Dengyao's powerful appearance, and asked, "Why is he coming forward again, what about the general manager?"

Hu Yanyu didn't answer, but just pointed to the direction of the guide gate.

At this time, the South Gate Tower was almost filled with the top officials in Jinghu.

The soldiers of the city were equipped with all the swords and axes, pokers, guillotines, shackles, and torture instruments. The personal soldiers arranged all the Silent Flags and the Commander's Honour. The tall guns and dragon and tiger flags were extraordinary, which made the people who were evading disasters in the south gate amazed and felt a little more secure out of thin air.

Zhao Fan, who was sitting upright on the city, had a dim face.

There was such a big chaos in Xiangyang City, even if he was lucky enough to save the city, his commander would have done the final result.

Since he took the position of the Jinghu Commander, he always aimed at his father as his goal, to be a heroic general in the Song Dynasty, to wipe out the captives for the emperor, and to regain the mountains and rivers for his ancestors.

Today, the Xiangyang changes together, all kinds of heroic plans have become a bubble.
