"In that case, let's decide the winner today!"
Guan Sheng looked at Tang Bin and Hao Siwen and said coldly. Qinbei Pavilion
"Walk!"
Tang Bin suddenly shouted to Hao Siwen, and the two of them withdrew from the battle group and headed towards the woods.
"Thieves don't run away!"
When Xuanzan saw the enemy running away, he hurriedly took his bow and arrow and shouted, but he was still a little slower. By the time he rushed there, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen had already led their men to retreat into the woods.
"Chase me!"
Seeing that he could not catch up, Xuanzan commanded the army and prepared to enter the woods to pursue him.
"No, as the art of war goes, don't enter the woods."
Guan Sheng stopped Xuan Zan. The woods in front of him were huge. Tang Bin and Hao Siwen retreated in a hurry. There might be an ambush in the woods.
"General Guan, they have a few hundred horses, but we have an army of 10,000. So what if there is an ambush?"
Xuanzan still wanted to pursue him, but the number of enemies was too small, and the battle would be resolved by catching up.
"Tang Bin and Hao Siwen are both from the military. It is impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake. They retreated just to lure me in. Don't enter lightly."
Guan Sheng shook his head. Although they had an absolute advantage in military strength, this was Liangshanbo. The enemy had a favorable location, which could greatly make up for the gap in combat power.
"General Guan, are you really sworn sworn friends with those two people?"
Xuan Zan looked at Guan Sheng and asked.
"Yes, those two people were both Pudong officers at the beginning. We had the same loyalty, so the three of us became sworn brothers. I didn't expect it to be like this today."
Guan Sheng replied.
"I see, but General Guan must not talk about this matter in the army. If Captain Duan knows about it, it will cause another commotion back to Tokyo, and it will be extremely detrimental to General Guan."
Xuan Zan looked at Guan Sheng and reminded him that it was not easy for Guan Sheng to be used by the court. It would be a pity if his future was delayed because of these things. The court's suspicion of military generals has never diminished.
"Guan never hides anything, he just does what he does."
Guan Sheng shook his head and said, these things were said before the battle today, and it is impossible to cover them up. Instead of trying to cover up, it is better to be more open-minded to avoid another incident.
At this moment, a sound of crossbows sounded.
"No, ambush!"
Guan Sheng's expression changed drastically. He turned his head and saw a group of crossbowmen on the high slope nearby holding their bows and shooting rapidly.
"Shield, side defense!"
Xuanzan also yelled and commanded.
But the arrow missed and had already been shot into the formation. The soldiers were so frightened that the formation was instantly in chaos and they ran around to avoid it.
"Damn it, there's no way to avoid this place, get into the woods quickly!"
Guan Sheng looked at the enemies on the high slope with a livid expression. The crossbowmen were shooting from a high position. The terrain here was so narrow that they had no way to escape or attack from above. The only place where they could escape was in the woods where Tang Bin and others retreated. , as long as they enter the woods, bows and crossbows will not threaten them.
"Quick, get into the woods!"
Xuanzan commanded the army. They sent 10,000 troops this time. He and Guan Sheng's front team only had 6,000 people. The remaining 4,000 people were led by Duan Chang and escorted the grain, grass and baggage in the rear.
"Damn it, these despicable grass bandits! They don't dare to fight head-on, they only know how to play tricks!"
Xuan Zan was furious, drew his bow and arrow, and pointed directly at Pang Wanchun, who was commanding the army on the high slope.
An arrow missed and shot straight at Pang Wanchun. Among the chaotic troops, the sound of a bowstring was inaudible. However, Pang Wanchun was equally skilled in archery, so he naturally paid attention to the movements of Guan Sheng and Xuanzan.
"Dare you take action against me?"
Pang Wanchun snorted coldly, he also drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Xuan Zan.
Xuan Zan was shocked when he saw this, but without any pause in his hand, he shot out one arrow, and the second arrow was also shot out.
"A volley of arrows?"
Pang Wanchun was stunned and recognized Xuan Zan's archery skills. The two arrows shot by Xuan Zan missed the same path, and they were consecutive arrows.
"It seems that the officers and soldiers are not all losers!"
Pang Wanchun shot another arrow. The two arrows missed the same path, and they were also consecutive arrows.
The first arrow shot by the two men hit each other and fell to the ground. The same happened with the second arrow.
"impossible!"
Xuan Zan's face was ashen, and his famous skill was the volley of arrows. He relied on this skill to defeat a general, and then he was recruited by the prince as his consort and married the princess. He rose from an ordinary officer to the present, and for this volley of arrows, he was Very confident.
"Take two more arrows from me!"
When Pang Wanchun saw that Xuan Zan was an expert in archery, he was eager to compete. He laughed and drew his bow again.
"Whizzing!"
Two arrows missed and shot at Xuanzan again.
Xuan Zan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to use his bow and arrow to fight back, but found that he could no longer keep up with his speed. He immediately urged his horse on his hip and dodged away.
"It's boring!"
Upon seeing this, Pang Wanchun chuckled and shook his head. He thought that Xuan Zan was a good opponent, but he didn't expect that it was just like this. He could not keep up if he shot the arrow faster.
"Turn to the right, cover shot!"
Seeing that they had defeated the enemy, Lei Jiong and Ji Ji commanded their crossbowmen to shoot at Guan Sheng and Xuanzan.
"Walk!"
Seeing that the soldiers and horses had already withdrawn into the woods, Guan Sheng called on Xuanzan and his soldiers to retreat into the woods as well.
"The officers and soldiers are nothing more than that!"
Lei Jiong laughed and looked at the escaping officers and soldiers. There were only 500 of them, but they actually repelled 6,000 officers and soldiers during the sneak attack.
"This is all a clever plan by the military advisor. If we hadn't taken advantage of the best location to launch a sneak attack, we wouldn't have been able to repel the army so easily."
Ji Ji shook his head and said.
"Okay, our mission is completed, retreat!"
Pang Wanchun waved his hand to everyone to leave. After all, they were small in number, and it would be troublesome for Guan Sheng to gather his troops and counterattack.
"Damn it! Damn it! These despicable thieves!"
Xuanzan looked at the dejected soldiers in the forest and roared. The knife in his hand angrily struck a big tree, causing sawdust to fly.
"Brother Xuan, stop being like this and gather the soldiers first!"
Guan Sheng looked at Xuan Zan and said, the most important thing at this time is to gather the soldiers. Losing his temper will only make the morale of the soldiers even lower.
"What's the point of getting angry at a tree? Why don't you come and play tricks on Sajia!"
A heroic voice sounded in the woods, and Lu Zhishen appeared with a water-milling Zen staff.
"Lu Zhishen!"
Guan Sheng recognized him at a glance and swung the sword in his hand. The last time he competed with Lu Zhishen was still fresh in his mind. Lu Zhishen's staff skills were so strong that he was not even sure he could win.
"Thieves! Form a formation!"
Xuanzan was shocked and quickly called his soldiers to form a formation, but his soldiers had not gathered yet. Now the enemy suddenly appeared. Only a thousand people gathered after the order, and the rest were scattered in the woods and had no idea what was going on here.
"The fight was not satisfying last time, let's fight again!"
Lu Zhishen laughed and looked at Guan Sheng and said.
"Please!"
Although Guan Sheng was unwilling to fight with Lu Zhishen at this time, seeing that there were soldiers approaching behind Lu Zhishen, he knew that it was impossible not to fight. If Lu Zhishen led his troops to cover up the attack at this time, his side would most likely be routed and defeated, so he had to swing his sword. Come forward.
Lu Zhishen and Guan Sheng fought together, because they were in the woods, the terrain was narrow, and their moves were extremely powerful. They opened and closed, and the surrounding trees were hit by Zen staffs and swords. Those withered trees that had been strong all winter Ye finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell like falling snow.
Lu Zhishen became more and more courageous as he fought. The water-milling Zen staff in his hand was swung like a windmill, bringing up strong winds and blowing up the dead leaves mixed with snow on the ground, making the surroundings instantly blurry and making it difficult to see clearly.
