C417 Claws

That's the truth.

Lee Hongji's elite troops, such as Liu Zujie and Li Chaozhi, did not want to face the enemy head-on. The antagonists were the two teams that had recently joined the battle.

The left army was called Heavenly King's 20 thousand men.

The right army was the 15 thousand men that moved the mountains back as the vanguard.

The military had arranged for the left and right troops to face the Ming Army like pincers.

Of course, Lee Hongji and the others did not expect these two troops to be able to resist or even defeat the Ming Army.

As long as they could slightly entangle the Ming Army, Liu Zujie would lead the elite cavalry under his command to pass through like arrows from the middle and defeat the Ming Army in one go.

He would completely wipe away Cao Wenzhao's complete victory against the peasant army, and also pull the Guanning Cavalry down from the altar forever.

Just as Lee Yao had guessed, asking the Heavenly King and moving the sky to join Lee Hongji was to take advantage of the situation under the great tree, not to be the meat shield at the front.

Of course, Lee Hongji and Liu Zujie were not easy to deal with. Naturally, they would not deploy them casually. The carrot and stick had been used precisely to turn these two pincers into a pair of iron pincers. Instead of a pair of meat pincers, they would be eaten by others.

Since he had already prepared enough scenes, he could only blame his bad luck for calling Heavenly King and Moving the Heavens over. People had to lower their heads under the roof. Furthermore, official bandits were inseparable. No matter what, the other party had included them in the extermination of the bandits. It was not unacceptable for them to try their best to live a good life.

After getting the assurance from Lee Hongji and Liu Zujie, as long as the two of them could hold on for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, their troops would be able to hold on. After eliminating the sharpness of Ming Army, Liu Zujie's army would smash out like an iron hammer. They all believed that the Ming Army, which was in a deadlock, would be defeated.

Even if the enemy sent out the last of their forces to fight to the death, the Great Chakram Army still had a trump card. That was, the five thousand elite soldiers led by Li Guo had also taken a detour to the enemy's rear and launched a surprise attack.

At that time, even if Cao Wenzhao had the ability to see through the heavens and earth, he would no longer have the ability to return to the heavens.

It seemed that the plan had been formulated quite well. If it could really be carried out strictly, at least he would not receive such a great defeat.

The plan did not change quickly, or it could be said that there was no perfect plan in the world.

Even if there was, it would be difficult to carry out the plan perfectly.

It was unknown if the other party had seen through the arrangement of the peasant army, or if he had seen through it, but he did not care at all. In any case, the other party had seen the farmer army coming out of the city to meet the enemy. It was exactly what the other party wanted.

Both sides had the mentality of making a complete contribution in one battle. Therefore, this collision could be said to be a full-strength collision. It would have a far-reaching impact on the entire country and the affairs of the Jianghu for a period of time in the future.

Ming Army did not seem to have learned their lesson from their previous failure. Their formation even seemed to be a little loose. Obviously, they did not put the large and dark peasant army in their eyes.

The two sides had engaged in such a large-scale battle, but they did not launch any probing attacks. The Ming Army had sent out all their forces from the beginning. They charged at the farmer army with the flag of the Big Page Army with almost all their forces.

There was no stopping the arrow. If they wanted to retreat at this time, they would first be killed by Lee Hongji, Liu Zujie, and the others behind them. The two of them, Heavenly King and Shifting Sky, could only give out orders and urge their troops to charge forward. They wanted to resist the attack of the Ming Army. The reason why they were urging them was because they were unwilling to fight at the front line.

Perhaps the Ming Army was well-trained, or perhaps it just happened to coincide with the opponent's plan, or perhaps it was a reaction that was made at the last minute based on the opponent's formation. In short, the two large pincers of the farmer army were unable to catch the opponent, because the opponent's formation also changed. Soldiers! They split into two and turned into a pair of pincers.

The scene turned into a pair of large pincers that fiercely clashed with the opponent's vigorous small pincers. It was unknown whether the large pincers would break the small pincers or the small pincers would break the large pincers.

In fact, at this time, the Big Page Army still had a chance to win. Lee Hongji and Liu Zujie urged the rest of the troops to choose whichever side they wanted to go to, and used their absolute advantage in numbers to deal a heavy blow. As long as one side of the Ming Army was destroyed, the other side would no longer have the ability to stir up a storm.

The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. What they needed to observe was ability, courage, human heart, and judgment. Hence, from the very beginning of this battle, the Big Shale Army had already lost.

The two vanguard armies of the Great Leaf Army, the left and right troops called the Heavenly King, had twenty thousand troops on the left. He encountered the ten thousand Cao Family troops under Cao Wenzhao, and the one leading them was Cao Wenzhao's nephew, Cao Hujiao.

Twenty thousand against ten thousand, the number was two to one. It seemed that the advantage in terms of military strength was obvious, but you would only know when you truly entered the battle formation. No matter how many people there are, your formation doesn't make sense. The numerical advantage could not be shown at all.

Moreover, if the soldiers were not well-trained, there would not be a large number of grassroots officers who could carry out battlefield discipline and orders. No matter how many people there were, this team was just an inflatable giant. When stabbed, the gas would be released, and the gas would be filled to the brim. The faster you release your breath, the faster you release it.

In the early days, Cao Wenzhao had made a name for himself in Liaodong. He assisted Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan in repeatedly defeating the gold troops. Later on, he was sent by Emperor Chong Zhen to the west to exterminate the bandits. His team had been trained according to the Guanning Cavalry. Even if their combat strength was not that strong, they were still lacking. He was the only one who had caused the various uprising armies to lose their colors in the face of the glorious battle achievements of these peasant armies.

Cao Wenzhao's nephew, Cao Changjiao, was a capable general under his command. He had the courage of tens of thousands of men. The jujube sun lance in his hand had reached the acme of perfection, and he had performed countless meritorious deeds at the border. However, he had never been greedy for meritorious deeds. Cao Wenzhao had today's meritorious deeds. At least half of it had something to do with this nephew's assistance.

Speaking of which, if the Heavenly King was able to pull up a team of twenty thousand people, he naturally would not be an easy person. He had a group of about three thousand men of sacrifice under his command, all of whom were heroes of the Green Forest, pirates of the river, and prisoners of death rescued from various prisons. Each and every one of them was extremely ferocious and had martial arts skills, forming a suicide team. Their numbers were much greater than Zhang Jingxuan's death squads, and at that time, they could be considered a very powerful force.

He asked the Heavenly King to lead them at the front and lead them in the vanguard, hoping that they would be able to stabilize their formation after the battle. The following men rushed forward, and the time it took to make a cup of tea quickly passed. Even if the team showed signs of being defeated before that, Lee Hongji and Liu Zujie wouldn't just sit back and watch.

Heavenly King's wishful thinking made a cracking sound, but the reality slapped him even more loudly.
