Li Ze immediately saw how the most elite soldiers of this era could fight.

Chu Xuan's troops cut down some trees as thick as sea bowls at a very fast speed, tied them tightly with vines, and nailed some branches on the front, making huge shields with each side of them about ten meters across the cross section. After preparing these things, about one hundred soldiers held up several large shields like this and began to advance silently along the gentle slope. Every time they advanced more than ten meters, they would pause for a moment and then continue to move forward.

"What are they doing?" Li Ze did not understand the other party's intentions and turned to ask Tian Bodao beside him.

"Young Master, these people are clearing the obstacles on the road ahead." Tian Bo frowned slightly, "so that the cavalry can launch a charge. There are many large and small stones and ridges on this gentle slope, which are hidden under the grass and are not easy to detect. When we were laying it out, we deliberately dug many small holes. The other party charged on a large scale, which would easily damage the war horses. Chu Xuan was indeed well-known and was a very careful person."

“How do we deal with it?”

"We must fight head-on." Tian Bo said: "If these people are allowed to complete the cleaning work and approach our position, their cavalry will rush forward under the cover of these big shields and then attack from both wings. This gentle slope is still easy to accelerate. After they hide behind the big shields, we will not be able to form an effective attack on their cavalry. Chen Changping alone cannot stop the opponent, so Brother Tu will definitely attack. Stop these people halfway."

Li Ze nodded.

"Actually, Chu Xuan did this and was forcing us to appear in the face to face to fight with him. He believed in the combat power of his soldiers!"

"The combat power gap between the armored soldiers and the palace soldiers is indeed very large. If there were no secret camp soldiers, we would indeed have no chance of winning." Tian Bo smiled. "Chu Xuan thought this way, but the mistake was that he did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the young master. Look, Brother Tu has attacked."

Tu Lichun is waiting for this moment.

He hoped that Chu Xian would divide his troops. If Chu Xian led all his troops to attack him in this form of attack from the first time, although he was sure that he would still win in the end, he would definitely pay a greater price. Because it was actually extremely difficult to attack after hundreds of soldiers formed a formation, even if he had a geographical advantage.

But now Chu Xian divided his troops. He hoped to use more than a hundred soldiers to open a passage. Only when the more than a hundred soldiers approached within dozens of meters of the enemy's formation, the cavalry behind him could quickly attack along the passage opened by the soldiers in front, and then assault the enemy's positions from both wings. The distance of dozens of meters can be said to be a flash for the charge of the war horses.

This is what Tu Lichun hopes for.

The most elite and lethal force in his hands were more than 20 guards around Li Ze, plus the four brothers Shi Zhuang, Chen Changping, and the three hundred soldiers in the secret camp. This was a force that could compete with the other party's armored soldiers even more than even surpass the other party's armored soldiers. In the shortest time, before Chu Xuan could react, he could cause great damage to these soldiers. But when Chu Xuan understood this, the losses were inevitable. Both sides had already reversed their elite forces. At this time, his failure was inevitable.

Tu Lichun brought more elite forces than the opponent and had 1,500 soldiers from the palace to assist. If he couldn't win, Tu Lichun felt that he could find a big tree nearby to hang himself.

Although it was just a very small battle, in this short period of time, the plot of the leaders of both sides opened Li Ze's eyes.

Only by knowing oneself and an enemy can you win every battle. The ancient military motto talks about the truth of fighting that will never grow old. Chu Xuan lost because he did not really understand the real power in Li Ze's hands. All his plans were based on the intelligence that the other party had only a temporary recruitment of the mansion soldiers.

Twenty soldiers broke out. This was the most powerful combat power that Li Ze could do. Tu Lichun, Chen Bing, Chu Sheng and other guards, plus Shi Zhuang, Chen Chang'an, Chen Changfu, Chen Changgui, and Chen Changping, as the cover archers, followed behind the secret camp soldiers with dozens of archers who could barely take action. Chen Congxing and several other guards with slightly less combat power stayed on the position to command the young and strong, ready to launch the final attack at the most appropriate time.

The three of them rushed to the front were Tu Lichun, Shi Zhuang, and Li Han.

These three of them were tall, and they all held the sabre of horses that made people feel scared at first sight. Tu Lichun used the sword, and Li Han was envious of Tu Lichun's majesty when he used the sabre when he used the sabre, so he practiced the sword with him, but Shi Zhuang used the horsespawn. However, until now, his sabre is still a lot of materials being prepared, so before this battle, he brought a sabre and came.

Faced with the top-down attack, the elite soldiers of Shenzhou were not panicked. Instead, they shouted and inserted these huge wooden shields on the ground. These shields were previously tools to cover them, but now they became the first line of defense to block the enemy, delaying the enemy's impact speed, and then blocking them from behind the shield.

But they didn't expect that the attack from above was too fast and fierce, far exceeding their imagination.

Three slashing swords fell down with cold light, and the shield made of wood as thick as a bowl was broken instantly under the opponent's knife. The remaining momentum of the sword fell down without declining, and the Arsenal, which was holding the shield, was immediately cut off with one knife.

Three slashing swords formed a sword curtain and rushed in from where the shield was broken. Wherever he passed, he was wailing. The military formation composed of more than a hundred elite soldiers in the deep state was instantly cut into a gap, like a neat square pastry, but was bitten in the middle.

Chen Bing and Chu Sheng are both veterans with extremely rich experience. Although Li Hao and Li Mi participated in such a battle for the first time, they were also the best masters who had been taught by words and deeds for many years. They immediately went in along this gap and rushed into the enemy formation. They immediately began to divide and surround the enemy.

The elite soldiers in Shenzhou are not bad, but the three hundred soldiers of the secret camp were trained by Tu Lichun and others for several years, but their skills are stronger. What's more important is that at this moment, they have an absolute advantage in the number of people, and the three-to-one advantage gave them the upper hand immediately.

Chu Xian immediately understood his mistake. He was shocked and angry and saw that the more than a hundred elite soldiers he had high hopes were instantly destroyed and killed step by step. The enemy's combat power was no less than the soldiers he led. With a roar, he didn't care about any obstacles on the slope, nor did he have more infantrymen on the other side. The war horses rushed forward. If he didn't go up, no one would survive.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Tu Lichun and Shi Zhuang slowed down their swords, forcing these soldiers from Shenzhou to retreat, and then slashed down or added a few scars to the other party, but did not really kill a few people. Instead, Li Han shouted to fight hard, and the sword was like a windmill. The weapon weighing dozens of kilograms in his hands was like a toy.

"Young Master, Brother Tu is trying to force the defeated soldiers to delay the opponent's charge speed when they retreat." Tian Bo, who was watching the game, looked at him and explained to Li Ze: "It's time for Chen Changping, who has not taken action, should he take action."

Li Ze was so conscious that he was very surprised. No wonder the idiom said that the courage of ten thousand men was unstoppable. No wonder he often saw in books that when two armies confronted each other, sometimes a person's courage could really change the direction of a battle. Today, he saw the majesty of Tu Lichun, Shi Zhuang and Li Han, and he witnessed with his own eyes what a brave general was.

"What level was Tu Lichun's level in the Chengde army before?" he asked Tian Bodao.

Tian Bo smiled and said, "If Brother Tu doesn't leave, he should be the successor to You Yong, the current Jiedushi, the chief guard commander."

"You Yong is even more powerful than Tu Lichun?"

Tian Po nodded: "You Yong should be stronger than Brother Tu at his age, but he is afraid of being strong at a young age. Now You Yong is over forty years old, so he should not be able to beat Brother Tu."

Li Ze yelled. It seemed that the old man was not too bad to him. At least he was willing to send one of the best generals like Tu Lichun to him to protect his safety.

Once again, he turned his attention to the battlefield. The strong bow in Chen Changping's hand, which was significantly larger than the average bow, began to make a sound of roaring. The rare continuous bead shooting method did not pull the bow full every time, but the strength of the bow still ensured the speed and strength of the feather arrow shot out.

He aimed at the two hundred cavalrymen led by Chu Xuan, who were approaching quickly. With an arrow, a cavalry knocked off the horse. The dozens of archers following him were covering the shooting. No matter whether they could shoot or not, they could slow them down. In fact, the arrows they shot out really could not cause any major damage to these soldiers.

Chu Xian found in pain that he could not raise his speed, because the soldiers who had sent out had been pushed back by the enemy and retreated, and the enemy and us were wrapped together.

And on the gentle slope, the sound of a large-scale attack had already sounded.

The idea of ​​retreat immediately appeared in his mind, but it was immediately rejected by him, because the place was so big, and both ends were closed, and he had no room to establish a buffer zone. Moreover, being entangled by his opponent at this time, it was not so easy to escape.

Just when he was a little hesitant, his cavalry had already been brought together with the enemy, and an enemy's mighty general took a war horse and rushed straight towards him.
