ps: There is another chapter in the evening, please recommend tickets!

"Listen well, don't mess up the formation after the battle, rather walk than run!"

When he saw the enemy's battle formation from a distance, Ran Qiuzheng stood in the car to observe the battle situation and arrange the formation. = The Qufu Lu soldiers he brought out were led by military officials and stood in line according to the routine during training on weekdays. The point is that everyone has a spear in their hands.

Three thousand spears, plus five hundred crossbows and five hundred shields and swords, this is Ran Qiu's tactics. The iron spear tip made by Taoqiu and the thick spear shaft, they are like a moving forest, moving forward unswervingly.

And the soldiers of the Qi people's division after the break also learned the enemy's situation from the passer, and they had already formed an array under the order of Lu Qiuming. Looking at the Lu people's posture, the phalanxes looked bad. bite.

"The people of Lu thought that we were weak and they deceived us and others." Lu Qiuming concluded that the people of Lu did not dare to attack, and now that he was beaten in the face, he was not angry, but said with a sneer: "But in this world, how can there be The army will let the underdogs be cut off?"

Qi Renlong was famous for his martial arts. Whether the soldiers of the Luqiu clan were attacking Ju or Yan, or the Xiangting soldiers they encountered after entering Shandong, they were all invincible by their fighting skills.

"Listen to my order, whoever wins one will be rewarded with a hundred knives!" Lu Qiu Ming let him go down to the left and right to spread the word. He did not participate in the snowfield battle a few years ago. He had never encountered a strong enemy in his life. , actually decided to fight more with less, to kill this group of Lu soldiers!

As he was getting closer and closer to the Qi people, Ran Qiu knew in his heart that this was the tip of the Qi army's tail. Only when they were beaten and defeated would the huge withdrawal army of the Qi people turn back, so that the general's strategy could be realized.

"Line up, lay your spears flat, and march forward!"

Ran Qiu waved the flag, the messenger Guan Zhou's father issued orders loudly, and the military officers composed of military veterans were also roaring, and the roar of the soldiers was like thunder. Since they chose to go out of the city, they reported their thoughts of the first battle. After being beaten by the Qi people for so long, the soldiers also took a sigh of relief.

The drum division in the army hit the waist drum heavily to unify the entire army. The soldiers of Lu stepped forward, their spears stretched out flat. In the first row, the second row, and the third row, the spears were laid flat, and the spears in the back row also tilted forward, pointing to the green mountains in the distance, and the formation of Qi people slowly walking towards them.

The Qi people were faster, and they rushed in shouting. The leader was lightly armored and holding a sword. He also held a round shield and a hook inlaid.

In the battle, the person who rushes in the front has the greatest risk, so the leader is the bravest person in the team. In the Qi army, such a person is a martial art.

They were originally light chivalrous youths in the Linzi market, but were selected into the army because of their outstanding martial arts. In the era of Sima Rangju, martial arts were only used as miscellaneous soldiers and death squads.

These skills have never been experienced in the Snowfield Battle, so even if they heard about it, they would not take it seriously. After all, the battle was dominated by the Jin soldiers of the Zhao clan, and the Qi soldiers were still a little embarrassed towards the Jin people.

As for the Lu people? Influenced by Lu Qiu Ming, they disdain the Lu people. In the impression of fighters, the Lu people have always been timid and cowardly. On the contrary, those who served as minor officials and the countrymen resisted fiercely, but to no avail, the State of Lu lay down at their feet and could wreak havoc at will.

The cowardice of the Lu people, which has been shrinking in the city since the Qi people forced the city, and did not fight back much is proof. These Lu soldiers probably came out by luck, and once they suffered a little, they would be scared to surrender. It is risky to rush in first, but it is also beneficial. Lu Qiu Ming has a reward in advance, and a reward afterward. Maybe he can catch a few more ministers who will go back to ploughing the fields, which is too valuable for these people who fight for their lives. Now, it's faster than going home to farm the goods and make money and silk. So they were all red-eyed, just waiting to rush into the Lu soldiers array to kill and kill a few more heads.

However, why is the opposite spear still held upright? Why is the queue formed by the flock so close and not scattered? The bowmen among them were even firing their bows in an orderly manner.

The rain of arrows fell, and among the more than 100 strikes that were launched, a dozen people in front were hit by bows and fell to the ground. The fighters also responded. Their archery skills were very good, they could even draw a bow while running, and the arrows were all accurate. Many people in the Lu people lineup were hit by arrows and moaned, causing confusion, but soon after. Order was restored.

At this distance, the fighters could already see the twisted faces and trembling lips and teeth of the soldiers in the opposite Lu State, but it was strange that no one threw their spears and fled. The people hit by the arrow fell, drowning in the still advancing team, and their positions were quickly filled by the back row, as if nothing had happened.

The excitement of charging has passed, and the fighters did not see the expected chaotic collapse and fear, but a neat queue, what was before, what is now.

The first row of Lu people are all wearing armor, and they are also covered tightly. This is heavy armor!

What happened to the rows of spears? The people in the front row are leaning so tightly, and the gap in the middle is filled by the tip of the spear at the back. How can people rush?

The fighter at the front was hesitant and wanted to stop, at least to avoid the heavily armored, spear-like phalanx in front of him.

However, after one burst of energy, the third and third were exhausted. Without the leadership of Sima Rangju, the Qi people did not have so many rules and tactics in fighting, and often had to rely on the outbursts of their brains. Lu Qiu Ming took a sigh of relief and wanted to knock out Lu's momentum, so the drums didn't stop, and the Qi people in the back kept shouting and rushed forward in a row. The man pushed forward, getting closer and closer to the iron hedgehog spreading out on the field.

Finally, they met, and the leader of the Qi State martial artist was tall and strong, with a face full of flesh, holding a sword in his hand, wearing leather armor on his body, waving a short sword in his hand extremely fancy, and moving like a falcon.

Seeing that there was no way to hide, he actually rushed over without hesitation. This man is indeed very skilled in martial arts. He blocked two spears with a hook in his left hand, took a step forward, and took the opportunity to stab one person to death. Just as he was about to draw his sword to chop off the spear shaft on the side, he was unexpectedly stabbed by two spears. The leather armor on the martial art body can block arrows, but the spear can't resist it, not to mention the rib.

The next moment, the tip of the spear was drawn out, blood splashed, and this brave tactic roared wildly. He raised his dagger and hook and tried to pull the back of the person, but he raised his hand and opened the chest and abdomen, and was stabbed by another spear. throat. This time, the attack was no longer able to jump, and his weapon fell to the ground, and he fell on his back into the dust, clutching his neck and twitching, and he didn't move for a while.

Similar things happened on the front line, and it was great to be able to rush in like this person. His companions were stabbed in blood by spears as early as the periphery, and they fell to death screaming!

The tactical attack was valiant, but it was sent so loosely that it was impossible to shake the Lu formation. Dozens of people died in the front and back, but only a dozen or so casualties on the opposite side.

Lu Qiu Ming realized that he was reckless now, but he had no choice but to rely on the technical charge to disrupt the gap between the enemy's front row and let the Qi people in the rear rush in.

He shouted: "The Lu people are bluffing, they can be defeated as long as they rush to the front!"

Since the opponent's spear has the upper hand in distance, then fight closely and look for opportunities to face each other...

"Pay attention to your feet. After raising your spear once, align yourself and take the next step!" As Ran Qiu's herald, Guan Zhou's father shouted the order loudly. The ground under your feet is uneven.

There were countless corpses under their feet, including enemies and those of the Paoze Township Party. The ups and downs were uneven, and even became an obstacle to the advance of the array.

This kind of caution of the Lu people was regarded as hesitation and cowardice by the Qi people. The frontmost attack was assassinated or they retreated in fear, but the trend of the group of Qi soldiers was still rushing inward, and the people in the back row could not even feel the front. stagnation. On the battlefield, there are not many people who can see the whole situation. What most people can see is only the corner of the front. Therefore, in different positions, everyone feels different hope of victory or defeat.

But the big situation was already unfavorable for Qiren, and a group of Qiren who didn't know it rushed up, just like beans fed into the grinding plate, they were quickly crushed, leaving only a bright red slurry and dregs on the ground, the iron grinding plate. But stood still.

They were desperately slashing and slashing, relying on the experience of fighting bravely in the past in various ways, trying to find opportunities, but no matter how they dealt with them, they always had to face a few dozen spears alone, the spear tip to the spear shaft. The distance of nearly ten feet provides Lu people with a guarantee of safety. The number of Qi people's archers is not enough to seriously damage the Lu soldiers, at most they can fight against the opposite side. So slowly, the Qi people stopped rushing, they couldn't rush, but the Lu people were pushing them back step by step.

The fighters that Lu Qiu Ming relied on in the previous battles were the first to collapse. They were similar to mercenaries, and they were not professional soldiers like Zhao's military pawns. They were recruited from the market only because of what they were supposed to do on weekdays. These people have no loyalty to the lord. They anoint the soles of their feet with oil as fast as when they charge, and quickly fled like birds. Although many of them did not escape the bows and crossbows of the Lu soldiers, most of them managed to escape. Far away, leaving the center of the battlefield.

The rest of the Qi soldiers were not so lucky. They were organized together to fight against the Lu soldiers, but they found that the people in front were getting thinner and thinner.

"Invincible, retreat!"

The mourning continued to sound. After the close fight, the Lu army slowed down, and there was a gap of dozens of steps in front of the Qilu array. scolded, and began to turn around and run away.

"Are you going to lose?" Lu Qiu Ming was stunned on the chariot, a little unbelievable. Are these people still the people of Lu who he has always looked down on? But the rout was unstoppable, even if he killed three people in a row, it wouldn't help...

"Are you going to win?" Seeing that the enemy was about to collapse, Ran Qiu heard Guan Zhou's father beside him asking in a low voice, so he nodded to him and shook his head again.

They're about to win the battle at hand, but that's just the appetizer of the battle. Ran Qiu knew very well in his heart that he brought 4,000 people out, took advantage of Qi's Qinglu mentality, and taught them a good lesson with his best spear formation.

But there are still nearly 10,000 troops in the entire Qi State. Once they turn back, the Lu soldiers will be surrounded by heavy siege. At that time, it will be the time to really test them.

But isn't that what he expected? Biting the tail of the Qi people, forcing the Qi army to turn around and stay, so that Zhao Wuxi could be wiped out in one fell swoop. What Ran Qiu has to do now is to try to defeat the enemy in front of him as much as possible, so that there will be one less opponent for a while.

"Pursue, today will not accept the surrender, stab all Qi people! No matter whether the generation is facing or facing the spear!" (To be continued.)
