    When the Boshu Republic first emerged, it was claimed that it had 200,000 soldiers.  Since ancient times, soldiers have never been tired of deceit.  Before the war between the two armies, both sides like to call the large by the small. Often when there are 30,000 to 50,000 people, they dare to call it tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.  It is not uncommon for rebellious officials and traitors like the White Lotus Sect to falsely report their military strength dozens of times. This also makes the officers and soldiers often not be able to match their heads when reporting their gains.  It was clear that what was being annihilated was an army of 10,000 rebels. Their heads were both good and bad. No matter how many they counted, they could not get past a hundred.  But Yang Yinglong's 200,000 soldiers were not included in this list.  This figure comes from the joint statistics of the Banzhou Ministry of National Defense and the Social Security Bureau, and is based on the expenditure of the Military Supplies Department, so it is very reliable.  When they faced off against the officers and soldiers, they claimed to have 1.5 million soldiers. This was a restoration of the glorious tradition of falsely reporting the number of soldiers, which was completely different from the truth.  In terms of officers and soldiers, they usually fight with more troops than with fewer troops, but this time due to supply considerations, the number of troops mobilized was not more than that of the Bozhou soldiers.  The number of troops does not exceed 150,000. In terms of the total number of troops, it is smaller than the rebels. This is also a rare special situation in the history of officers and soldiers' extermination operations.  However, in the previous battle of Loushanguan, Yang Chaodong's entire army was wiped out, several old people defected, and with the addition of the vassal soldiers of the chieftains, the strength of both sides gradually evolved to more than 200,000 officers and soldiers on the Bozhou side, and 150,000 on the Bozhou side.  This time, Yang Yinglong put all the chips in his hand at once. Except for the backbone troops left behind by Hai Longdun, all the troops from all over the Bozhou Republic and even all the young men were recruited here.  It can be said that he bet the national destiny of the Banshu Republic on this battle.  The total number of troops participating in the war exceeded 300,000, even in the history of the Ming Dynasty.  It can be considered a big battle.  Zheng Guobao's 30,000-strong army faced Yang Yinglong's 50,000-strong army. On this battlefield, they were at a numerical disadvantage.  Yang Yinglong, who was particularly conspicuous in his golden helmet and armor, immediately raised his spear. He first denounced the twenty major sins of the Ming Dynasty in front of the battle, and then listed his own inheritance to prove that he was a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Now he raised an army.  He was about to destroy the Ming Dynasty and prosper the Tang Dynasty.  Rebuilding the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China.  Before sending troops, he, with the help of Long Xiang, performed several so-called miracles to prove that the mountain god blessed the battle.  They also killed a large number of livestock.  Let the three armies have a full meal.  Everyone was given pieces of salt and cloth as military pay.  The morale of the entire army was pushed to its peak. When he finished his speech, the Bozhou soldiers shouted in unison.  The sound shook for nine nights.  Zheng Guobao was surrounded by his concubine, and in the outer circle were guards composed of martial arts masters from various factions and foreign soldiers from Ryan Stein. Ning Zhong said: "Brother Guobao, I see that the morale of these Banzhou thieves is very high, don't you think so too?"  Go to the front of the formation and shout a few words to boost your morale. ""Don't worry, Sister Ning, it's up to me." Zheng Guobao urged his horse to the front of the formation and pointed his horse whip at Yang Yinglong. "What does this Bozhou Republic have to do with the Tang Dynasty?  Relationship? Li Shimin was also called the emperor back then. Who knows what he means? If his name is not correct, his words will not go well, and if his words are not right, his orders will not work.  The imperial court has treated Bozhou favorably in the past, allowing you, the Yang family, to guard this place for the imperial court for generations. All the benefits of Bozhou belong to your Yang family. The people pay no taxes, and the imperial court does not charge a penny. The emperor's kindness is so great that even if your Yang family is shattered, it will be difficult to repay it.  This is a great favor. Instead of being loyal to the country, you segregate one side, hide dead soldiers, and dare to openly rebel against us to seize the benefits of the Han people and make friends with the Miao people. This is like a servile and servile act to curry favor with the barbarians.  , How can you be called a loner? Whoever takes Yang Yinglong¡¯s head will receive a reward of one thousand taels and be promoted to the fifth level!¡± Later generations recorded that the number of participants in the battle exceeded three million (according to what each side claimed)  The great battle (force calculation) kicked off with the virtual point of Zheng Guobao's riding whip.  The officers and soldiers of the imperial court formed a formation, with long guns in front and fast guns and cannons behind, and they attacked the Bozhou Army in an orderly manner.  The Bozhou Army was afraid that the new attached army would not be able to use it, so they mixed the Yang family's clan soldiers with the new army. Relying on their own large number of soldiers, they pressed forward against the officers and soldiers.  "The initial formation relies on blood and bravery. At this time, the death squads should be allowed to charge first. With Bozhou's wealth, it is not difficult to recruit some dead soldiers. But after opening a gap in the large formation of officers and soldiers, what is needed is well-trained soldiers to follow up.  Breakthrough, this is when the Yang family's soldiers use force. Unfortunately, the Yang family mixed the two armies, but lost their respective characteristics, and lost half of the battle. " Zheng Guobao watched the two armies fighting.  While explaining to the girls, he looked like he was proficient in battle formations.  It's a pity that the soldier Zeng Shengwu sent to deliver the message just now had a too loud voice.  Most of these women were highly skilled in martial arts, so they all heard clearly, but it was difficult for them to expose him, so they all laughed while covering their mouths.  On the battlefield, Lian Tianfeng, Feng Feixiang, Wu Tiande and Zeng Shengwu's Biaoying were the backbone of the battlefield and strangled with the Bozhou soldiers.  Although the shooting speed of a fast gun is higher than that of a matchlock, it still needs to be loaded, tamped, and fired again. It is obviously unreliable to expect that the enemy can be eliminated simply by relying on firearms.  After several launches, the two armies still entered into hand-to-hand combat.  The spear array is extremely powerful, but this does not mean that the spear soldiersInvincible, invulnerable.  Whether it is arrows, javelins, or throwing axes, they are all harvesting the lives of the pikemen.  Moreover, the physical strength of the pikemen is also limited. In this kind of battle, people's physical strength is exhausted very quickly. Yang Yinglong's human sea tactics, like waves, seem to be relying on manpower advantages to drown the officers and soldiers.  .  "Husband, when will our cavalry take action?" All the 600 Cangtou troops were brought to the front by Zheng Guobao. Together with the heavy cavalry from each army, Zheng Guobao still had a heavy cavalry team of more than 2,000 people.  Without entering the battle formation, this team can be regarded as the trump card of the officers and soldiers.  Zheng Guobao shook his head and said: "There is no rush. Yang Yinglong still has a trump card in his hand, so why should we be anxious? I think it's time for his cavalry team to appear." Yang Yinglong's cavalry and archery army is known as the essence of the Bozhou Army.  , plus five thousand Miao soldiers, riding one step at a time, are the most precious treasures in Yang Yinglong's hands.  He originally thought of completely disrupting the formation of the officers and soldiers before throwing in the troops. However, although he had invested many troops, the formation of the officers and soldiers was still intact, but his own troops could no longer bear it.  "General Manager, hurry up and send the cavalry and Miao soldiers. We spend so much money to support them, isn't it just to make them risk their lives at this time? If we don't let them go into battle, all our people will die." Yang  In the past, the family only had armed fights with the chieftains to seize land and property.  In a battle formation of this size, if the casualties exceed a hundred, it can be considered a heavy casualty. If the casualties are close to a thousand, it is a feud.  However, just after the war started, the Yang family's soldiers suffered thousands of casualties. Such casualties were unacceptable to the Yang family clan elders of the Bozhou Ministry of National Defense no matter what.  "No, now is not the time. The formation of the officers and soldiers must be broken down before our cavalry can go up." Long Xiang hurriedly tried to dissuade him.  Those Yang family members ignored him and only stared at Yang Yinglong, "General Manager, do you have the final say in Bozhou, or does an outsider have the final say? The ones who have fallen now are our own children. Are you just watching?"  Wait, our own baby is going to die like this? Those officers and soldiers are like monsters, eating people and drinking blood. We can't defeat it. Who can defeat it except the Miao people? " Yang Yinglong is known as the God of War in Banzhou, and he is also an expert in military warfare.  It was obvious that now was not a good time to send the cavalry into battle.  But he knew better that if he didn't give the order, those clan members might dare to escape with their own troops.  People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.  He nodded helplessly and said: "Don't worry, I will lead the Miao and cavalry to charge in person to see the lonely king capture Zheng Guobao alive." After this order was conveyed, the Bozhou soldiers on the battlefield fell into chaos.  The soldiers of the Yang family had suffered heavy casualties in the previous attack and had lost their courage. When they heard that Yang Yinglong was going to lead the Miao people, they retreated on their own initiative, calling them euphemistically: escorts.  However, they did not notify the newly attached troops of their retreat. As a result, they trampled on each other and collided with each other. When Yang Yinglong launched the attack, the Bozhou soldiers' formation was already in chaos.  Zeng Shengwu saw that Yang Yinglong, wearing a golden helmet and armor, was leading the charge. He also waved the command flag in his hand. Taking advantage of the confusion of the Bozhou soldiers, the officers and soldiers shouted and launched a countercharge.  With the sound of iron hoofs trampling the ground, the heavy cavalry of officers and soldiers who had been recharging their strength finally appeared on the stage.  The leader was wearing armor and holding a big sword. On the big flag behind him, there was a big Liu character, which was particularly conspicuous.  Those Miao people could not see the face of the incoming general, but they could see the flag and the sword, and exclaimed: Liu Dadao, Liu Dadao.  Then he shouted and ran away.  Yang Yinglong never expected that a single flag could scare away so many Miao people. He shouted anxiously: "Whoever dares to escape, the Miao King will not let you go. That's not Liu Dadao, that's a fake!"  However, those Miao people seemed to be crazy and couldn't hear his shouts. Not only did they run away by themselves, they also took the Miao people they knew and fled with them. The entire Miao people's formation was completely chaotic.  These people have no discipline to begin with, and this time they are completely in chaos. Even if King Miao is here, he can't even think of commanding them.  At this moment, the government cavalry on the opposite side had already entered like a wall and ran over the light cavalry from Bozhou.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
