257 Like a Mountain 2

After seeing the situation, Zhang Xianzhong and others set up camp, just two miles behind the hill.

The large area here is saline-alkali land, dry and solid, and is very suitable for camping. The location is also good, not far from Baitang River in the north and Baima River in the south, so it is very convenient to get water and drink water.

It was early this time, just at Si and there was still an hour before Wu. The soldiers from various camps arrived continuously, and the people with the equipment were busy erecting tents, digging nests and laying trenches. Simo prepared to make fires and make rice, and went to the river to fetch water for the soldiers to drink.

The ruling man carries people on his shoulders, drives away animals, and constantly transports food, grass, and soybeans to collect them into the old camp.

Generally speaking, the team of the squad in the camp was similar to the camp.

There are also many servants who are under the protection of the horse team, searching for abandoned houses everywhere, demolishing slabs, cutting down trees, making short pedals, etc.

The subordinates were busy with their work, Zhang Xianzhong and others continued to observe, and the whistle came to report that Suining was even more desolate than Hong County. There was no one in the east or west between the two rivers, and there was no place to capture the villagers, only two large villages at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the stone signs on the roadside, one is called "Guanshan Ji" and the other is called "Longtou Ji."

Especially in the "Longtou Game", it seems that the villagers' men's drinking water and eating everything from the village to give them.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong and others noticed these two powerful villages, but they didn't care.

The powerful men have more than enough guards to the village, but when it comes to field battles, they will come to die.

The courage of Suining Township is commendable, but as long as they defeat them in the wild, even if the remaining soldiers flee into Longtouji, it is not worth mentioning.

The officers and soldiers who only dared to defend the village and the city did not have any threats.

At noon, Ge Zuo and Xian Camp set up a military formation.

More than 10,000 troops from the Sixth Battalion gathered in front, back and left and right of Hushanbao, and were vast and magnificent, with various flags like oceans, arranged in front of Longtou Mountain.

Basically, the front of each battalion is the siege camp, the back is the horse soldiers, and the last cavalry is escorting the formation. There are also many horse teams roaring and rushing to patrol. They guard the flanks and rear of the army, and reconnaissance and reporting on information from all parties at any time.

The sun is getting stronger and stronger, making the weeds everywhere dejected. Without the wind, you feel the heat.

"Wow, wow..." The bags were lifted and untied, and the white silver ingots in it poured out, making it so dazzling in the sun.

Another war horse was brought by a majestic horse, as well as wine, beauties, etc., which became more and more attractive.

However, the battalions were mobilizing a large amount of gold, silk, good horses, and even beauties were placed in front of the formation. The elite cavalry who was escorting the formation told everyone that if they win this battle, these wealthy beauties and good horses would be used to reward them, especially the warriors in the city.

They are still choosing the "leader" to lead the team to charge.

"Which brothers are willing to be the leader? As long as they come back alive, they will be raised into infantry, infantry will become horse soldiers, and horse soldiers will become elite cavalry. And they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the beauty of war horses will be chosen!"

The elite cavalry cheered loudly and glanced at the infantry and horse soldiers with different expressions in front of the formation with bright eyes.

When the camp and the Zuo fight, there must be mobilization in every battle, and the beauty of the soldiers will be tempted by wealth and beauty. They must also choose the "leader". When charging, they will be in the forefront, and the brigade will follow. Wherever the "leader" rushes, the brigade will follow.

But the "leader" can only advance but not retreat. If he does not retreat, the elite cavalry who is escorting the formation can kill him. If the "leader" is injured or dead, the "ranger" who is appointed as the horse soldiers will report immediately and replace him immediately.

Generally, all the "leaders" have been changed several times, and the front still cannot attack, so the main general will withdraw his troops, take the initiative to retreat, and preserve his strength. In the formal battle, the "leaders" selected by each battalion will not exceed ten people.

At this time, the camp position was held, and the infantry in front and the horse soldiers in the back were all staring at the wealthy and beautiful war horses.

They sneered at each other, and distributed them in piles, basically without any array, but they used the sentry flag as the sign. The sentry chief was 50 people, and the sentry head was 3000 people, all with flags. When marching or fighting, the entire team followed the flag bearer.

Looking around, Zhang Xianzhong's position was basically red, with red colors, while the nearby Ge Liyan He Yilong's position was black.

It is difficult for officers and soldiers to control the military positions with flags, let alone bandits, the simpler the flags and drums under their command, the better.

The banners of each battalion are basically the same, either red, black, white or blue, and there are three more sound drums. When the camp is gathered, they use snails and ox horns, when they go out to fight, they use big drums, and when the last gong is roaring gold to withdraw the troops, they are all very simple and direct.

"Which brothers are willing to be the leader? You can get wealth, beauty and horses!"

The elite cavalry were still agitating, and Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Aineng was on the horse, and Wang Dingguo, Feng Shuangli and other generals followed him, all looking at the soldiers and horses in front of him with anticipation.

The leader can be designated, but if they are willing to come out themselves, the morale of the war will definitely be different.

"Mom, I'm here."

Maybe it is believed that there are many people on our side, and there are only a few rural brave men in the mountains ahead, and there are all kinds of wealth and beauties and other temptations that have taken the lead, so someone came out.

But he was a horse soldier, like a monkey pound, thin, but very young, wrapped in a headscarf, with a gloomy and murderous aura on his face. However, it was the infantry soldier who fought against horses and stabbed the Dead Spirit Cavalry with a spear. He was rewarded by the Eight Kings with the mount of the Dead Spirit Cavalry and became a member of the Horse Soldier.

At this time, he stood up again, full of courage.

Looking at him, Ainengqi nodded in appreciation. He admired this person quite the same day.

"You big guy, I'll come too." A rough and generous infantry also stood up.

"A mere village hero, I dare to stop me from waiting for the trip. I will teach them how to be a human being today!" Another hero came out proudly.

"No, a bunch of bad local heroes, I can kill them with just one bastard! Grandma, they don't want to live anymore!" There are heroes who come out with a high spirit, and they will still be together. It's better to offer camps and wait for this. Whether it's infantry, horse soldiers or horsemen, they can become leaders, giving heroes who dare to fight.

Inspired by them, people kept standing up high, and everyone shouted enthusiastically: "I lost my head with a scar as big as a bowl, and I am a hero again eighteen years later."

"A mere village bravery, dare to block the rebels' way, and cannot be forgiven!"

The "leaders" selected them and were tied with plugs, and a bright back flag was inserted into them to prove their identity as the "leader".

But from this moment on, unless they are killed or injured, they will not be allowed to retreat without withdrawing their troops.

Those who dare to retreat will kill them on the spot without mercy.

After the "leaders" put on their flags, they could enjoy the wine and meat. In the envious eyes of everyone, they were happily drinking and eating meat, saying bold words, and many people's eyes were still on the gold, silk, horses or beauties in front of the formation.

The dozen beauties specially brought in attracted the most attention of the "leaders".

These beauties are all top-notch, each of whom is petite, weak, haggard and pitiful, almost comparable to the "Yangzhou Slim Horse". In the past, only the Eight Kings and others could enjoy it, but now they can do it too, just need to come back alive after fighting.

The "leaders" looked like wolves, and the beauties just trembled, and their hearts were filled with sadness.

Unfortunately, I encountered a thief and was now captured as a cargo, and my life and death were even more controllable.

Especially the horse soldier, his eyes were too long and cruel. His eyes were filled with resentment and cruelty. It was like a steel knife shattering, making people shudder.

Here we choose the "leader", Zhang Xianzhong and others arrange troops and camps on the mountain.

The battalions negotiated, with three entrances in front, and two entrances in each second entrance were made, but the wall was not long, and the total length was three or four hundred steps. In this era of cold weapons, one person occupied one step and one was crowded. Generally, when fighting, people occupied two steps and horses took four steps.

If the Sixth Battalion flocked in a crowd, there was no place to squeeze in. Each battalion decided to attack in waves, continuously and fully demonstrated their human-sea tactics.

For example, on Zhang Xianzhong's side, he went north to bring 500 elite cavalry, 500 horse soldiers, 1,000 infantry soldiers, 2,000 soldiers, and all 4,000 people. At this time, his 1,000 soldiers in the camp attacked in two waves, and the horse soldiers were also arranged in two waves.

The elite cavalry is in charge of the battle, and the couple usually does not fight, but at this time some people are driven to carry boards and lift ladders.

In other words, on Zhang Xianzhong's side alone, there are 500 to 700 attacks in each wave of the camp.

There are six camps including Gezuoxian Camp, each time there are 3,000 to 4,000 people.

At 3:00 a.m., each battalion was ready.

All the thieves gathered on the mountain bag. During the arrangement, Zhang Xianzhong and Ge Li were the ones who were in the front, and He Yilong hit the front east entrance. Old Hui Ma Shouying hit the north entrance with Zuo Jin King He Jin. Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao and Wang Lin in the troubled times were in the south entrance.

But at this time, not only the Eight Kings, Ge Liyan, Lao Huihui, Zuo Jinwang and others were there, but they stood high and could see far.

Under the mountain, besides the densely packed cavalry, there are rows of big drums, and the drummers are all naked, revealing their black-haired chests.

"Beat the drum!" He Yilong ordered with great enthusiasm.

"Dong!"

A passionate sound of war drums makes people tremble in their hearts.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

The sound of war drums makes people's minds thrill and spread to all over the world.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

From north to east to south, two hundred steps away around Longtou Mountain, the black and tide-like thunders suddenly howled at the top of their lungs. Then the first wave of thieves ahead were all blood-red, waving their weapons, and then rushed towards the low-high mountain in front.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

The thieves howled in shock. The one who walked ahead was the "leaders" who led the troops to charge. The flags on their bodies were very eye-catching.

At the same time, the horse's hooves roared, smoke and dust rolled, and some elite horsemen also left the formation and rushed to the rear of both sides of the mountain.

Many thieves were always in the war. Although the infantrymen mainly attacked the low walls and trenches on the front, they believed that they could also try other places, especially to see if they could climb up the top of the mountain from the back of the mountain to attack.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

The tide-like thieves just surged forward, forming a very wide arc, especially because three or four thousand people attacked a low wall with only three or four hundred steps, and there were not many people standing horizontally, so they pulled very long in depth.

Watching them howling excitedly, strode towards the earth ahead.

The crowd seemed to flood everything.

The flags are as dark as dark clouds.

Looking at this spectacular scenery, not only did the thieves such as Zhang Xianzhong feel endlessly in their hearts, but even the generals and adopted sons standing behind each other could not help but feel like they were whistling to the sky.

Ainengqi led dozens of elite cavalry to supervise the battle, and Liu Wenxiu led fifty cavalry to the back of the mountain with the elite cavalry of his brothers' camp to attack. Sun Kewang stood with Li Dingguo and rode his horse to the mountain to cover the mountain.
