Before dawn, Wang Xiao's hunting army lit a fire to cook. As soon as the white fish belly appeared in the east, the army set off and arrayed on the flat ground at the foot of Umbrella Mountain. This was the largest flat ground nearby and the only suitable battlefield.

Wang Jun was still sleeping soundly. When the soldiers came in to report, they were scolded by him with a hooded face. When he woke up, he hurriedly called the leader to come over to discuss. In the end, they could not come up with anything. When the sun rose high, they led the army down the mountain.

Wang Xiaolie stood on a hill on the right, condescendingly observing the situation on the battlefield. On one side stood Niu Gao, serving as the center soldier.

After looking at Wang Jun's army, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but frowned: "It seems that Wang Jun's army has all the flags, but it's just messy. It is said that Wang Jun is from a military academy, so he shouldn't be unfamiliar with these."

Niu Gao said: "Even in the army, if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to understand the meaning of the flag."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing. There is a system in the army, the most fundamental of which is flags and drums. Flags and drums are the organization and command form of the army, and are particularly important on the battlefield. If you can use flags and drums skillfully, you will have success. Flexible command ability on the battlefield, able to command large troops to fight. If there are no flags and drums, you can only fight in a chaotic manner. You may not win if you fight in a chaotic manner, but most of the time you cannot win. Remember the ancient times in the movies and TV series of the previous life War is either a one-on-one battle between generals, or a chaotic rush forward. It is rare to see the role of flags and drums showing.

In the Song Dynasty, in addition to crossbows, armor, and flags and drums, the people were strictly prohibited. Hiding flags and drums secretly was basically equivalent to rebellion.

Looking at Wang Jun's troops, they basically still have the strength and drums. It's just a bit chaotic and crude in form. It's hard to say how effective it is.

Wang Jun set up a formation at the foot of the mountain and secured his position. Shao Ling, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan on the opposite side looked at Wang Xiaolie together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Send people up first to test the enemy's formation. Looking at Wang Jun's formation, I always feel that he doesn't look like he can fight."

After saying that, he ordered the flag bearer beside him to wave the handsome flag and ordered Xie Linon in front to step forward.

Xie Linong led fifty cavalrymen and rushed out like the wind. They headed straight for Wang Jun in the middle of the enemy formation without any hesitation.

Wang Jun was startled. He was a well-informed figure who had fought in battles. But the two armies had just set up their positions, and the other side used dozens of people to attack his own central army. Such a bold and reckless attack was still the first See you next time.

Seeing that Li Nong had reached the middle, Wang Jun said anxiously: "Ma Nan, you are the number one general in our army! Come forward quickly and block the enemy general!"

Manan sang the promise. He waved his hand to the back and shouted sternly: "My sons, please come forward with me to fight!"

After saying that, he urged his horse forward. Ma Nan's men shouted together and rushed out. At this time, it was seen that Ma Nan's strength was only more than 300 people. However, Wang Jun was not sensitive to numbers, and all he saw was a dense mass of people. Going up there, I can't tell you much.

When Ma Nan led his men out of the formation, Xie Linong shouted loudly, suddenly changed direction, and led his men to walk sideways in front of the formation, heading west. After passing straight past Wang Jun's formation, he suddenly turned back and charged toward the flank.

At this time, Ma Nan led a large group of people to the middle of the two formations. There was no enemy going forward, and he retreated and rushed into the formation. He was stunned for a while and didn't know what to do. If he, a few hundred people, went to attack the officers and soldiers in front, The military formation is undoubtedly asking for death. But if he retreats from the original route, Wang Jun's military formation will be completely disrupted. In a normal military formation, he should lead the army to march sideways. Whether it is attacking or retreating to the square formation, it will It cannot be carried in the middle.

At this time, Xie Linong had already led his men into the flank, and there was a cry of killing from the west.

Wang Jun was startled and hurriedly ordered his people to strengthen the flanks to avoid being disrupted by the Song army.

As soon as the orders were given, Li Nong calmly withdrew from Wang Jun's military formation and returned to his own military formation.

At this time, Ma Nan came back with his army, and the entire Chinese army was suddenly in chaos.

Wang Jun shouted: "Zhi Niang thief, Ma Nan, the man who can kill a thousand swords! Didn't you see the other side? Did the thief go around to the back and return to the army? You have disrupted the Chinese army. What should I do if the enemy rushes up at this time?"

Good! If you have never fought, you will always learn the opposite!"

While cursing, he asked Manan to lead his troops to retreat quickly to clear the front view.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Xiaolie looked at it and shook his head. Ma Jun's ability to command on the battlefield is indeed too poor, and this army is also too poor. There is no basic concept of the intersection between the two armies. If they encounter the Jin army, take advantage of this moment to press the entire army.

, and was immediately defeated.

When the two armies form a formation, they usually use small groups of troops to harass continuously. There are certain procedures for where to attack, which part of the enemy's army to attack, and how to return. If you are not careful and do not disrupt the enemy's formation, you will mess up your own army's formation.

, the battle can no longer be fought.

The cavalry in the army is often used at this time. Use the high mobility of the cavalry to move out and return quickly to mobilize the enemy. Once the enemy's formation is disrupted, rush in immediately and disrupt the enemy's formation. Once the enemy's formation is disrupted, the enemy behind them will be attacked.

The large infantry force immediately pressed forward. Without extraordinary means and incredible luck, it would be difficult to reverse the situation of the battle.

As for the two armies forming an array, it is very rare for the army to attack as soon as the drums sound. It is either unlucky or there is a huge disparity in strength, or it is almost death. If the unorganized faces the organized, what will be the result of a fight?

After a while, Niu Gao saw that Wang Jun's army was still in chaos, and couldn't help but said: "Zhizhou, the enemy's flags are in chaos at this time. If a fierce general charges directly into his army, he will definitely break his army formation!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I understand too. But if you look at the mountains behind them, there are many people in a mess. Who knows their identities? Normally, there should be family members of the enemy soldiers and the like. But there is something wrong.

What if. We originally only had a thousand people, but it would be too dangerous to encounter an ambush. Based on what I just saw, if we hold on for a while and wait until the situation on the mountain becomes clear, we will definitely win."

Niu Gao laughed and said: "Zhizhou is too cautious. Judging from the formation they put up, we can see that their generals do not know the soldiers, and their troops usually lack training. Even if they set up an ambush, it is not terrible. As long as our army's formation is stable,

What's the harm in using one or two hundred men to break through its army!"

Wang Xiaolie nodded slightly, unsure for a moment.

Niu Gao was right. Wang Xiaolie himself felt that he was too cautious. What could be done? The capital was too small. Just these one thousand troops, plus the 500 people left in Ruzhou, were all his capital. To be honest,

, one will feel heartbroken when someone dies.

Shao Ling, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan below couldn't help but become anxious when they saw that Wang Xiaolie's flag on the mountain was still moving. Wang Jun on the opposite side was obviously a mob, and there was no need for a stalemate here. However, Wang Xiaolie's military order was strict, so Commander Wang

If the flag doesn't move, they don't dare to move either.

The sun was rising high, casting thousands of rays of light across the sky and the earth. The military formation was in chaos, but there seemed to be no sound at all.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie suddenly said: "Since you have seen through Wang Jun's true identity, there is no need to be cautious. Niu Gao, you take the 200 Chinese troops here down the mountain and charge straight at Wang Jun's Chinese army. As long as they are in chaos, there is no need to retreat. Kill forward. The remaining people behind lead the army to charge and kill, don't give Wang Jun time to regroup. Although Uggai Mountain is not steep, he retreated to the mountain, but he still didn't want to pick it up."

Without saying a word, Niu Gao crossed his hands and sang a promise. After receiving the military order, he assembled 200 Chinese troops on the mountain. Among these 200 people, there were only more than 80 cavalry, which were Wang Xiaolie's security forces. Niu Gao only led these 80 people. , leaving all the infantry to Wang Xiaolie.

With the commander's flag raised high and bowed forward, a drum sounded, and Gao Dai rushed down like the wind.

Before Wang Jun could reorganize the military formation, he saw a group of officers and cavalry from Dongbian Mountain rushing down. They rushed towards his central army with an unstoppable momentum. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Just do it.

Just now, Manan was sent out to fight, but he made a mess. Now he didn't dare to send anyone out. He just ordered the archers behind to shoot arrows immediately.

Niu Gao was wearing an iron helmet and didn't care about the oncoming arrows. He just took a look at Wang Jun. He squeezed the steel gun in his hand and rushed away.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were not affected, and seeing the generals approaching like iron towers, Wang Jun couldn't help but feel frightened. He did not dare to step forward, so he ordered his generals to come forward. He must stop these officers and soldiers, but he did not dare to let them rush in. Come to the array.

When Niu Gao saw an enemy general coming up, he shouted loudly and pierced his chest with the spear in his hand. In the lightning and flint, the general had no time to dodge and was knocked off his horse. Niu Gao ignored the spear and let go of it, suddenly pulling it out. The iron mace hit another general who rushed up. This mace hit was extremely strong, and the general couldn't say a word and fell softly off his horse.

Wang Jun was scared to death. Seeing that no one dared to stop Niugao anymore, he came straight towards him and hurriedly retreated.

Niu Gao shouted loudly, and the mace in his hand flew, knocking down five or six people in an instant. Looking up, Wang Jun retreated quickly, and he could no longer catch up. He snorted coldly, put away the mace, took off his bow and arrow, and Aiming at Wang Jun's heart, he shot an arrow out.

Wang Jun was retreating to the rear when he felt a chill in his heart.
