-----------------------------------------------------

The front wing of Huang Chao's troops was informed that the military envoys personally led fifty cavalry to investigate, and soon brought back the news of an official army in front of Tingting Mountain. "From their banner, they should have eight thousand people, one with a red battle robe, everyone with a bow, each with a gun and a knife, and even three thousand cavalrymen!"

"Is it Xue Chong?" Meng Kai asked.

"Or it's the Li family." Ge Congzhou said, "No matter which one it is, we will know soon." He looked at his army, with one thousand people on the left wing. One thousand came from the rear wing composed of hungry people, thieves, deserters, expendables, and vendors. Compared with Lin Yan's front wing, it was 108,000 miles away. Lin Yan had fifty cavalry alone, and the left wing had only ten cavalry in total.

However, finally, there are all swords and guns. Although it is not as good as Lin Yan's front wing, it is much better than Wang Xianzhi's troops.

"The deputy commander sent someone to report, and a soldier was found in the direction of Jeju, with about seven or eight thousand people, and was fighting the banner of the Tianping Army. Now another soldier came. Could it be his soldiers?" Meng Kai was the deputy general of Huang Chao, and this time he came to command the rear wing.

Ge Congzhou was fearless, no matter which way he came. In the end, he had to fight against each other.

"In my opinion, both of these routes should be Tianping Army. One way is empty and the other way is real. Since Jeju has made great contributions, it must be Xu. Come here secretly, it must be the main force of Tianping Army. Meng Sima, I don't think there is too much to worry about it, lead the back wing from Zhou Yuan to fight."

Meng Kai thought for a while: "Since General Tongmei is so brave, I cannot stop him. Since that's the case, okay, I will fight in the back room according to your wishes."

Ge Congzhou led a thousand soldiers in the back wing to move forward quickly and rushed towards the official army. About two hours later, both sides encountered each other in front of Xitingting Mountain in Qianfeng County. Ge Congzhou took a step forward, seized the hillside of the next hillside, and stood high. Standing at a high place, looking into the distance. Smoke and dust rolled in the distance, and dozens of flags were floating in the smoke and dust.

With anticipation, Ge Congzhou's heartbeats faster. Huang Chao's army was with him, and for more than half a year, he fought Caozhou, attacked Jizhou, fought bravely, and made many contributions. Only then did he be promoted to the commander of the military commander of the back wing. Now, this is a big battle that has never been fought before. The Thousand Grass Army faced eight thousand officers and soldiers.

The closer the smoke and dust rose, the closer it became. Looking far away, you could already see the huge Xue character embroidered on the front banner.

Ge Congzhuo Zhuo's face turned pale, said, "Meng Sima, come to the formation to meet the enemy!"

Meng Kai nodded and gave the order to arrange the array.

A thousand teams of pontoon, private salt dealers, robbers, deserters, prisoners, vendors, etc. were rushing to line up in a mess.

They were not only small in number, they had not received enough training, nor had they fought a real tough battle, and they seemed at a loss when facing so many enemies. The only thing that could prevent them from being confused was the power of the chief general Ge Congzhou, the friendship in the village, the loyalty of the desperate brothers, and the resentment of the upcoming official army. Moreover, Xue Chong and his Tianping Army on the opposite side were not unfamiliar with them. Over the past six months, they had captured three states of the Tianping Army. Many of the Tianping Army's troops were defeated by them again and again, and the prefectures and counties of the Tianping Army were captured by the teams, and the soldiers were killed by them. Even the weapons and a small amount of armor on their hands were seized from the soldiers who died in the Tianping Army. In addition, there were many soldiers in the team who were defeated by the Tianping Army.

When a person faces such a large army, they may have collapsed long ago, but when they stood behind the young commander, they became bolder. How to fight this battle and what the result was, in fact, they had no idea except Ge Congzhou, Meng Kai and others.

Suddenly, fear slowly overwhelmed cohesion and confidence, and the grass army formation began to shake a little, making waves of exclamations, and the Tianping Army in front of us was already in front of us.

The war drums sounded, and the soldiers of the Balance Army who could not see the edge slowly appeared on the plain in front of the mountain.

The armor is bright and shines brightly in the late spring sun.

The front was the infantry, pushing the sharp-sharp sword chariot, holding a spear and wearing red painted iron armor. Then there were teams of archers and crossbowmen, wearing long cloaks in light leather armor.

On both sides of the backward point are neat cavalry, with knights and war horses wearing cowhide armor.

When the troops slowly approached, the armor and weapons on their bodies, the rumbling footsteps, and the neat array made many grass army soldiers start to beat violently, their hands and feet become weak, and their faces are as white as paper. The entire grass army array begins to become anxious.

"Our team has no cavalry. The damn Balance Army has actually transferred so many cavalry this time. I'm afraid it's not easy to fight this time." Lin Yan rode on the horse and whispered in a low voice with concern. "We have very few iron armor, few leather armor, even fewer shields, and not many archers."

The marching Sima Meng Kai was also the leader of a salt vendor in a state. After Huang Chao raised his army, he quickly pulled the old brother from the Tao into the group and held an important position. Although he was also panicked at this time, he also knew that the more he was the main general in the center of the entire army, the less he could not show such concerns on his face. "In the war, don't say discouraged words!"

Xue Chong rode a tall horse under the central army's flag. Looking at the sparse thief queue in front of him, he couldn't help but smile: "More than a thousand thiefs are overestimating their abilities. They block the chariot with their arms and want to hit the stone with eggs, hahaha. I passed the command of this commander to let the infantry advance forward and the cavalry follow up. Today, I will destroy these thiefs first and take him to sacrifice the flag!"

The horn sounded, and the twelve drums and twelve horns of the Tang army's central army started at the same time.

Dozens of cavalry commanded cavalry to carry flags and traveled across the formations, loudly conveying the latest orders to each formation.

The infantry in the front row unloaded the shield from the shield chariot, and soon formed a copper and iron wall composed of man and shield in front of the formation. Behind the shield wall were spears like forests and teams of neat archers. On their wings, the three brothers Cao Shicun, Cao Yi and Cao Xiang led the cavalry of their headquarters to slowly follow forward.

With the sound of the horn, this huge formation slowly moved forward.

The Cao Army soldier held the swords and guns in his hands tightly, his face turned pale, his hands were too hard and his knuckles turned pale.

The two armies are getting closer and closer, and a terrible silence is condensed between the heaven and earth.

"He doesn't probably shoot an arrow, the archer is pulling the strings. He doesn't want to lift the bow, and shoot up the shield quickly!"

With the sharp shouts, it was approaching the Tang army formation within a hundred steps. A dense rain of arrows made countless roars, flew out of the sky, covering the sun with clouds, and finally formed a huge cloud of arrows, and the entire battlefield was stagnant.

Many grass army raised the shields they carried. The so-called shields were made up of a few wooden boards, and many soldiers even took the wooden pot lids stolen from the people's houses as shields. Although it seemed extremely simple, almost everyone in the back wings had one hand. They had too few armor. The official army almost had a bow and even equipped with a large number of crossbows. Every time they fought, the damage caused by the bow and arrow was always the greatest.

As soon as the pot lid was raised above my head, the cloud of arrows in the sky suddenly turned into a rain of arrows and suddenly fell towards the array of rebels.

The sound of soothing arrows kept ringing, and violent vibrations and beeping sounds were heard from the wooden pot cover in the rebels' hands. The pot cover without Mengniu leather was not firm, and after enduring four or five arrows, it would be shaken away.

The Tang army's arrow rain was like heavy rain hitting lotus leaves.

Ge Congzhou looked forward from one side under a real cowhide shield. The Tang infantry opposite had already raised his spear and was speeding up his progress. The cavalry also came out from the two wings of the infantry and turned into a geese-wing formation, and then accelerated in an instant and turned into a charge.

The arrow rain in the sky was no longer so dense. Ge Congzhou held the spear and shouted loudly: "Life and death are only today. Brothers, rush with me!"

The grass army threw away the lid of the pot with the nails in their hands, shouting wildly, adding courage to themselves, following Ge Congzhou behind him, and rushing over with the fast-moving cavalry. The battlefield at the foot of Tingting Mountain suddenly became a human refinement.

The Tang army infantry used surprise shields in front, followed by spearmen, and the regiment card knife hands followed, while the cavalry quickly surrounded the two wings.

This is a war without suspense. Compared with the elite troops of the Balance Army who had been defeated from Xichuan and defeated the Nanzhao Army, there is not only a huge gap in equipment to training, but also a huge gap in quantity.

Although Ge Congzhou was extremely brave, even so, the grass army could not rush over in front of the Tianping Army's copper-walled shield formation and countless spear formations that looked like waves constantly rinsing the reefs, futile and useless.

At this time, the vanguard cavalry of the three brothers Cao Cunshi had already surrounded the two wings. The cavalry's charge and huge impact force quickly curbed the Cao army's charge. The Cao army's three brothers led the cavalry to rush left and right, and the Cao army's formation was soon attacked by them.

With the slow advance of the infantry of the Tianping Army and the cavalry's left and right, the Cao Army began to retreat step by step, and soon the entire formation was completely in chaos.

Ge Congzhou and his subordinates were covered in blood, but they still could not stop the attacking situation of the officers and soldiers.

Meng Kai carried a spear and rode his horse to Ge Congzhou and shouted: "Brothers Tongmei, the Tang army is powerful, this is the main force of the Tianping Army! The wind is tight, so pull it!"

Ge Congzhou wiped the blood stains of an unknown enemy on his face and nodded, "Mingjin retreated! Retreat!"

A golden sound rang out, and the soldiers of the grass army who were struggling to support him were immediately delighted. They quickly turned around and fled without saying a word.
