At the end of May, the typical "May rain" continued at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lihu County, Dongjun County.
This time, the raindrops were not very dense, but they were very rapid, and the particles were very large. Rather than falling, it would be more appropriate to say that they were smashed or dropped.
And it was under this rain that Zhang Xing began to slowly but firmly eat the white flour pancake.
To be honest, the quality of the pancakes is not high. This is because it is difficult to store flour in this humid and hot environment, so a lot of flour is old goods that are not dare to be stored anymore. In addition, there is quite a lot of bran mixed in... But after all, it is a white flour pancake. After taking one bite and chewing hard, you can detect a slight sweetness.
Zhang Xing ate slowly like this while watching the battle ahead.
What's interesting is that the surrounding leaders, officers, guards, and selected elites in the army were almost divided into two. Half of them followed the big leader's gaze to see the battle ahead, while the other half only looked at the big leader. Eat pie.
As if eating cakes and fighting are as important things.
On the battlefield in the distance, the deposed dragon army occupying the fortifications and the official army, which was obviously slightly superior in combat power, were still at odds with each other, and the friction was getting bigger and bigger.
Whenever the officers and soldiers wanted to turn around and evacuate, the Qilong Army would cross the fortifications and take the initiative to attack, forcing the officers and soldiers to turn back, and then they would be pushed back hard by the Qilu officers and soldiers who were indeed more capable in the field.
Two times later, the official army set up a special rear guard unit, led by Yu Baimei personally. However, the frontline commander Xu Shiying took advantage of the situation and sent the deposed dragon army to attack from multiple directions, trying to outflank the official army rear guard, and did not hesitate to He and Wang Wulang personally took turns to attack and confront Yu Baimei and his guards - this was basically a scaled-down version of the tactic used to deal with Yu Baimei's entire army and force Zhang Xuguo to come for reinforcements.
Obviously, Zhang Xuguo, who came to save people, could not just abandon his subordinates and leave, so the large army had to turn back to rescue them. Correspondingly, of course, the Deposed Dragon Army was not willing to fight. They just retreated again and waited until the opponent evacuated again before continuing to start a new round of pursuit.
The fortifications of the Deposed Dragon Army were very long and layered. On one side was Mount Li, and on the other side, the "swamp" mentioned in the intelligence was indeed seen on the edge of the fortifications. Therefore, after that situation lasted several times, when the angry and impatient Qilu Army decided to counterattack, they had no choice but to attack the solid fortifications in reverse. But the result is that the officers and soldiers who are obviously superior in combat ability in the field are immediately exposed in front of trenches, fences, and earthen ramparts, and in turn fall into a disadvantage.
This boosted the morale of the Deposed Dragon Army on the front line, and also made everyone feel a little more at ease - it turned out that the seemingly obvious gap in combat power between the two sides was actually only half an earthen fortress or half a trench.
The rain caused the two armies to lose most of their long-range strike capabilities, and both sides had no shortage of armor, so the army's advance was mainly based on close combat with heavy infantry.
On the flat ground, the courage of the officers and soldiers, the cooperation of the squad and the close formation, and of course their psychological advantage in facing the deposed dragon army's consecutive victories made their combat power significantly better. When entering the fortification area, the long spears of the Dragon-Deposed Army were thrust down in a chaotic manner but condescendingly, and the crossbow arrows were fired at random at close range, which were enough to shake all the pride of the officers and soldiers.
As a result, the officers and soldiers could only withdraw in embarrassment.
Immediately afterwards, naturally, the deposed dragon army began to pursue him again.
As for the high-level combat power of both sides, the combination of Zhang Xuguo and Yu Baimei was somewhat evenly matched against Xu Shiying and Wang Shuyong. Even because Niu Da, Shang Huaizhi and others attacked from time to time, they were slightly behind. Downwind.
However, generally speaking, most of these high-level generals followed the actions of the troops, and the overall situation of both sides was also a back-and-forth.
Viewed from a distance, the two armies seemed to be engaged in a bloody tug-of-war game at the edge of the fortified area.
The lives of the sergeants on both sides were also being wasted during this game.
However, it was just a waste of time. It seemed that the heavy armored warriors were not losing their lives fast enough, at least not enough to form a pile of corpses on the battlefield that would collapse the morale of the soldiers on both sides. Even the blood that flowed out was quickly washed away by the rain. In the ditch and the depression on the west side.
Under the rain that tightened slightly, Zhang Xing was still chewing the cake slowly.
And suddenly, at the foot of the prominent mountain Lishan in the distance, a new flag and a new army appeared. Then a second flag, a third flag, and an endless procession beneath the flags.
This made Zhang Dalongtou pause slightly.
Obviously, his cake was not in vain. He suppressed his uneasiness and waited until he got the result he wanted.
In this bloody battle, which was obviously a fight between rookies, it was the officers and soldiers who made the mistake first - when the latter faced the well-prepared fortification positions, instead of cutting off their tails in time to escape the battle, they sent additional reinforcements. . In other words, this does not seem to be a mistake, it is just that the follow-up troops of the government army could not calm down and advanced the war as expected by the deposed dragon army.
This has always been an extremely simple battle, a battle that is more of a head-on battle than an ambush battle.
Both sides are military groups that have just been founded a year ago. They have similar military strength and similar organizational forms. The top ones are foreign elites and the bottom are local powerful ones.
However, the war itself is the most grueling thing. When the two armies each commit suicide in the East and create a world, they have to go through a bloody and direct large-scale confrontation to decide something and let some people learn something. , gain some growth. Therefore, the significance of this battle must not be ignored just because the tactics are simple, the soldiers have little battlefield experience, the quality of the officers varies, and the military organizational structure is poor.
Not to mention, both parties are ultimately one is an official and the other is a thief.
The victory or defeat in this battle was enough to affect the fate of thousands of people and the direction of local history in this era when the imperial court was collapsing.
The flag was getting closer and closer, but because of the rain, it was impossible to see clearly. However, soon a frontline sentry turned back from the front and reported through Zhang Jinshu, telling them that the flags were "Jie" and "King" respectively. , "Zheng", the total force is about five or six thousand... Hearing this, Zhang Xing held a small half of the cake in his mouth, thoughtfully.
Li Shu waited for a while and saw Zhang Xing sitting firmly. He knew that the other party already knew what was going on, but after thinking about it for a moment, he immediately decided to sell him a favor.
"This reinforcement is interesting."
Li Dalong sat upright, suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward, raising his voice as if to remind Zhang Xing, but more like explaining to everyone else on the stage as a master.
"Generals Jie Xiang and Wang Liang were the surrendered generals of Lu County after the defeat of the Langya rebel army, and they led the selected surrendered troops; Zheng Biao was the new captain of Lu County, and was temporarily recruited by Zhang Changgong after he became the commander of Lu County. The three armies totaled five to six thousand people, plus the two thousand people from Zhang Qingte's army who were defeated by Wang Wulang and I before, and the two thousand soldiers from Lu County under Zhang Changgong's command. The total number is ten thousand people, which is the Qi Lu Army. The new soldiers were recruited when the army was expanded after spring plowing. As for the remaining 8,000 Qijun soldiers led by Fan Hu, Fan Bao, and Jia Wugen, none of them followed. It can be seen that the commander-in-chief of the Qilu army in the rear had some ideas. of."
On the general stage, many people couldn't help but look at Jia Runshi behind Jia Yue, but the latter just stood upright in the rain that was getting closer and closer, making it difficult to see his appearance.
However, when Jia Yue, who had always had a cold face, turned around, he could clearly see the corners of this young man's eyes tightening through a few drops of rain.
At the same time, the corners of Zhang Xuguo's eyes, which had some gray beard, also tightened.
Yu Baimei's men in front were bitten again. At this time, Yu Baimei himself was still very high in morale and furious. He was leading his bodyguards forward bravely, preparing to fight Wang Shuyong who was attacking again. However, the other large troops around him were obviously slow in their actions for a long time, so that they were somewhat out of touch with him.
As a veteran, Zhang Xuguo naturally knew that the Qilu army was indeed more powerful, and they had won consecutive battles against the Deposed Dragon Army... Counting from the beginning of the year, they had won more than ten games in a row. Not only that...but they were pursuing from Yuncheng this time, marching against the rain and mud every day. On the surface, they could hold on, but on the inside, or fundamentally, they were still a little tired, but the deposed dragon army was not. I rested here for several days. Among them, 20,000 troops on the Western Front had been lingering on the Western Front for a long time and had not been tempered by the war.
This does not mean who is better. The officers and soldiers fight continuously and have spirit, experience and military spirit. However, after the original spirit is gradually worn away, when the experience is covered up by fatigue, the four words of "waiting for work" become The power gradually emerged.
This was also the reason why Manager Zhang was instinctively afraid after seeing the fortifications before - this kind of fortifications combined with rain and mud are the most draining of physical strength.
Turning his head, Zhang Xuguo saw the flags getting closer and closer. Jie Xiang, Wang Liang, Zheng Biao, two generals, and a captain of Lu County. Together, there should be 6,000 people.
This means that the so-called Qilu Army has invested 14,000 people.
In response, the eyes of the general manager of the march in the eastern border of the Great Wei Dynasty tightened again, and his beard also trembled slightly. There is no doubt that he was a little disappointed with Fan Hu.
As for the reason, it has nothing to do with whether Fan Hu has invested in the troops, or how many troops Fan Hu has invested, but as Li Shu pointed out, Fan Hu kept all the 8,000 Qijun soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness. , and smashed in the newly expanded troops and horses.
If one of the three people coming was Fan Hu, Fan Bao, or Jia Wugen, he would not be disappointed. If they all come, no matter how the battle develops, he will only be inspired.
But Fan Hu left the remaining 8,000 soldiers from Qi County and sent out the generals and soldiers from Lu County.
"Brother."
On the other side of the mountain, Fan Bao, who had just come back from reconnaissance, was the first to feel uneasy. "The battle ahead seems to be a bit tense. How about I go there? After all, it is Yu Baimei who is trapped, and the manager is personally rushing to kill them. If none of our brothers go, the manager may feel uncomfortable."
Fan Hu's face turned dark.
Frankly speaking, as Zhang Xuguo's designated commander-in-chief of the Qilu Army's rear army, he is actually the largest mountain leader of the Qilu Army, and the nominal third-ranking figure in the army. Did Fan Hu have any selfish intentions in his previous arrangements?
Of course there is.
But this selfishness is a powerful instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If you say that he deliberately let Zhang Xuguo be beaten and all his allies died, that is pure nonsense.
Don't forget, before Zhang Xuguo saw the fortifications with his own eyes, even if Sima Zheng informed Zhang Xing to set up an ambush here, he felt that this battle could be won. When he arrived at Fan Hu's place, he was given the order to deal with it on his own. He didn't even hesitate to send reinforcements. Why did he suddenly care about whether the reinforcements he sent were the main force?
To put it bluntly, in one sentence, they underestimated the difficulty of the war, underestimated the resilience of the Deposed Dragon Army, and overestimated the combat effectiveness of their own army.
When Xu Shiying used the fortifications to fight back and forth with the main force of the first half of the Qilu Army, and the further down he fought, the superiority of the officers and soldiers seemed to become smaller. The officers and soldiers were up and down, not only the commander, but almost the entire army. The mentality is a bit tense.
"What do you think, Lao Jia?" In anxiety and uneasiness, Fan Hu looked past his younger brother and looked at the more steady rear army general and Qijun County Prime Minister Jia Wugen.
Jia Wugen thought for a while and said seriously: "Now that the war has reached this point, we can no longer underestimate this battle... First of all, we must keep a reliable combat force here as a reserve army, whether it is the final increase, the support, or the surprise attack. You have to keep one! Just in case!"
Not only Fan Hu, but other generals, big and small, also nodded.
"Secondly, after retaining a reliable combat force, you must make up your mind to either release the rest of the force to support and hope that the reinforcements will significantly change the situation of the battle, or simply stay still and be prepared to respond, but there is no need to go alone just for some explanation. How about sending two thousand troops?" After Jia Wugen finished speaking, he immediately fell silent.
No one around him had any objection, but just looked at Fan Hu like Jia Wugen and Fan Bao.
Fan Hu thought for a moment and looked around.
At this time, there were not only Fan Bao and Jia Wugen around, but also Zhang Qingte, the general who had just gathered the defeated troops, and Zhang Changgong's deputy general. The generals under these people were also gathered together. He even took a look. In the air...according to the intelligence, four great masters, Sima Zheng, Bai Yousi, Xiong Bonan, and Zhang Changgong, should be fighting among them.
In the past, Fan Hu always felt that Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan's sole fighting force was quite suitable, because the competition between the two often meant that Zhang Changgong had to give up military command, thus making him, Fan Hu, nominally third in the army. In fact, he has secured his second position and leads the biggest mountain.
At this moment, this Qijun powerful man was eager for Zhang Changgong to come down and take charge.
But how is this possible? Why do Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan always fight alone instead of directly controlling the army like the masters in the core army of Wei Dynasty? Isn't it because these powerful military leaders from Qi County, like the powerful military leaders in the Deposed Dragon Army, firmly control their own troops and are unwilling to give up the practitioners among their subordinates, which makes masters like Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan Unable to form a true energy formation in the army for military use?
It is not so much that masters like Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan go to one-on-one battles that lead to the formation of a mountain of powerful players, but it is better to say that the organizational structure of the powerful players naturally leads to the inefficient use of such masters.
Of course, this point is far away. Fan Hu didn't think about it before, and he doesn't think about it now.
But no matter whether he thought about it or not, he had to make a decision at this time.
"I have four thousand men left behind. They are the most elite and most powerful, and are best suited for the final blow." Fan Hu gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Bao. "But I won't stay. Second brother, you stay and take command. Everyone else, Lao Jia, Colonel Zhang, Vice General Wang, and the two thousand people in your department, all follow me to support the general manager and take a look. Can you break through the enemy in one fell swoop?”
Fan Bao immediately protested: "I'll just go."
"Your going is not enough to make the manager feel at ease, nor is it enough to convince the public." Fan Hu scolded him immediately. "It's not a life-and-death battle. If you go there, you won't be able to come back. It's better to live behind the scenes and make decisions based on the situation!"
Fan Bao shut up immediately.
The people around him no longer hesitated, but agreed in unison... No matter what, General Fan tried his best to be worthy of every aspect this time. Although the main force of 4,000 soldiers and horses is left behind, it is indeed the most suitable reserve force. At this time, Jian Jian personally leads the army forward. What else can be said?
Zhang Xing was sitting on the general's platform, with the last bite of cake left in his hand, but he never took a bite. But soon, when he saw another group of troops passing by the foot of the mountain, before the front had time to report which unit it was, it was already Without hesitation, he immediately bit into the pancake and swallowed it whole.
After eating the cake, Zhang Dalong looked around, his eyes swept over Shan Tonghai, and finally looked at Li Shu: "Mr. Li, what kind of cultivation are you?"
Li Shu was startled for a moment, then realized it, and then moved his lips, but in the end he spoke firmly:
"I just condensed my elixir during the Eastern Expedition, and I am just like you."
Zhang Xing nodded, Taoist Wei and several leaders who had scheming in their minds also changed their expressions slightly.
Needless to say, Zhang Xing has reservations about this answer, but it cannot be falsified, and it is impossible to falsify it at this time... Moreover, Li Shu knows his thoughts, and he also knows Li Shu's thoughts, and even the people around him know them. the meaning of.
It's very simple. When Sima Zheng arrived, Bai Yousi had to make a deal with him. This major change directly affected the most important part of the planned plan, which was the question of who would be responsible for the outflanking arrows.
Li Shu is a good choice, but does he need to be like this?
This is indeed a good opportunity to continue to gain meritorious service from this battle, and it is a great meritorious service. However, no matter how much he achieves, it does not seem to be enough for Li Shu to shake Zhang Xing's position as the commander of this battle, which is in sharp contrast. The problem is that it is too risky to take on the task of inserting arrows.
It is very likely that he will be the target of public criticism, and he will probably have to face repeated attacks from the army and the army, and it will be a double-sided attack, and it will be a life-threatening attack... When necessary, everyone from the Chengdan masters of the army to the soldiers below will fight tooth and nail. The coming impact revolves around the latter.
To put it bluntly, the benefits cannot match the risks.
Therefore, Li Shu was unwilling to go.
This kind of little thinking is no different from what happens secretly on the other side. Disputes over personnel, factions, and mountaintops always run through everything. It's just a matter of who can hold back and maintain the situation.
"Everyone, I think everyone has noticed that our combat power is actually about the same as our opponent." After getting the answer, Zhang Xing didn't bother to care about it at all. Instead, he looked around and stood up from his horse to face each other. "And if we can win this battle, regardless of the appearance of waiting for work, the strict fortifications, or the strategic location, the fundamental reason is that everyone is united sincerely and is more united than the other party!"
Li Shu narrowed his eyes rarely.
Wei Xuanding also realized something and quickly stood up. He was about to speak, but Zhang Xing raised his hand to stop him.
The latter also continued: "Now that most of the enemy troops have been encircled, it doesn't matter whether they are surrounded by more or less, but there is no need to hesitate anymore. Only Sima Zheng suddenly attacked, and Sisi is not there. Someone has to gather the elite. The formation goes first and then goes around... Needless to say, Xu Dalang and Wang Wulang are on the front line. Monk Niu Da has insufficient ambition and cultivation. Shan Dalang himself is the commander of the third round. Naturally, the only ones who can take this position are Li and I. Mr. Li. Between me and Mr. Li, I am younger and have better physical strength. If I don’t go, who will?”
Zhang Xing is telling the truth. Even if Li Shu conceals something, it may not be as direct as Zhang Sanlang's full belly of Qi. He himself is indeed the most suitable candidate. This is what happened after Sima Erlong arrived at the beginning. Bai Yousi should have realized this.
"I have only one thing to say before I leave. I hope that everyone will continue to implement the original plan after I leave, and not to be shaken by anything, nor to change the layout without authorization or disrupt the command... As long as we resolutely implement the plan, this battle will be ours." After speaking, Zhang Xing looked at Yan Qing.
The latter understood and immediately stood up and shouted: "Please protect the law and the deacons drawn from the rear troops, gather with the dragon head's personal guards and prepare to set off... Don't forget to check the armor and weapons."
The elite gang members and elite guards who had been waiting here got up one after another and went under the general platform... Among them were the group of white knights that day, and the practitioners under Shan Tonghai. This is why Shan Tonghai is like this. He would not be at ease if he was sent to another place because of being a member of Banraohou's army.
In fact, seeing that Zhang Xing had made up his mind to leave and did so quickly, Li Shu, Shan Tonghai and others could no longer sit down and stood up one after another, as if to see each other off or to observe.
Zhang Xingfu looked at Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan again: "You two are coming with me. Those of you who are here to help me will also come with me. The rest of my subordinates will follow Jia Yue and attack in the second round."
Wang Xiongdan and Ma Ping'er just gasped and nodded. Ever since they arrived, they had been shocked by the scale of the battlefield and completely lost their ability to think.
"I will follow the leader." At this moment, Jia Runshi, who was behind Jia Yue, suddenly took a step forward and asked for a fight again.
"Okay, you go and put away my general flag, remember not to open it on the way, and open it again after the detour is successful." Zhang Xing glanced at the other party and nodded directly.
Then, he lowered his head to pick up Mazha, grabbed the Jinglong Sword in his other hand, turned around and walked away.
Wei Xuanding and others could only stand on the already slippery general platform and watch the other party leave.
It was not yet half of the afternoon when Zhang Xing, together with more than a hundred practitioners and two hundred personal guards, all fully armored and equipped with long and short soldiers, just stopped and followed the preset road through the swamps to the west through the lush crops. Use the cover to carry out the first wave of interspersing and outflanking.
However, not long after leaving, I encountered a small problem that was not an accident.
"Faucet, the water is too deep ahead."
Wang Qi, the chief of the personal guard, was the first to report. "The road is flooded, and it's full of mud as soon as you step on it. You have to drive slower and follow closely. Don't fall into the crops on the roadside, let alone the fish pond."
Zhang Xing was slightly startled, but had nothing to say. Previously, the deposed Long Army only wanted to maintain this swamp hidden in the crop fields, so not only did they not allow local farmers to release water, they even built dams to prevent the water from flowing away. It has been raining in recent days. It has continued intermittently, and now it has caused excessive water accumulation, which in turn affects the back and forth passage, which is normal.
Others just followed the instructions before departure and just trudged on.
However, after walking in the mud for a while, he saw a puddle of water in front of him. It was estimated that there was a pond next to the road. Zhang Xing, who was wearing armor, frowned slightly, then stopped in front of the puddle of water and carried his horse. Come and ask: "Do you remember the way?"
"Of course, don't worry, Dragon Head, we have walked through it many times." The guard leading the way immediately replied.
"Okay." Zhang Xing drew out the Dragon Shocking Sword and looked back in the rain. "Come closer to me now. Let's form a formation in advance and walk on the ice! This will not only prevent us from falling into ditches and ponds, but also help guide the following troops."
The surrounding sergeants and the masters of cultivation in the gang were just startled, but some people quickly reacted, because many of them had done similar things before. That day at the Bian River, the so-called knights in white were like this.
As for other people, if they follow suit, they will naturally know what to do.
A mere three hundred people roughly gathered together and formed a formation in the middle of the road. Then Zhang Xing still held the horse in one hand, but with the other hand he held the unsheathed Dragon Shocking Sword upside down and inserted it into the soft mud under the muddy water. Then he acted unscrupulously and released Infuriated.
The gray-white ice energy flows along the eight extraordinary meridians and even everywhere in the body, overflowing freely and spreading in all directions. Some of it rolls to the surroundings, and the other part flows along the Jinglong Sword in Zhang Xing's hand toward the muddy water. ground.
It's midsummer, and although there is a lot of rain, the heat is still overwhelming. The ice energy intersects with the rain and heat. Looking from a distance, it seems that a lot of fog has suddenly risen, just like the Bianshui River a month ago, roughly covering it. The situation of small and medium-sized troops inside.
But soon, the clouds in the sky seemed to sense something, and the rain suddenly started to rain rapidly. Large drops of rain fell, quickly dispelling the white mist.
At the same time, maybe a large amount of zhenqi was flowing into the water along the Shocking Dragon Sword, or maybe it was just a little slippery under his feet. Zhang Xing's figure swayed inexplicably, but he soon returned to normal, and the water in front began to freeze and condense quickly. .
Then, without hesitation, he stepped on the ice which was not very firm and was even a mixture of ice slag and muddy water.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Xing clearly felt that many of the elites behind him had also released their true energy. The true energy was connected and connected to form a whole that seemed to be able to breathe. The amplitude and frequency of breathing seem to be vaguely integrated with the beating of his own heart.
This was something I had never felt before.
But at this time, there was no time to think too much. The only thing Zhang Xing could be sure of was that his formation was successful. Then, without any hesitation, he held the horse in one hand and mopped the ground with the Shocking Dragon Sword in the other, marching in formation on the ice in the rushing rain.
It's not that no one noticed the strangeness here. In fact, at almost the same moment, many practitioners on the battlefield not far away noticed a subtle change in the true energy. The higher the cultivation level, the clearer it became.
However, let alone other people, only Zhang Xuguo and Yu Baimei in the army, including Fan Hu, the three of them stationed their horses almost at the same time to look around, but because of the rain, the crops were dense, and the distance was too far , you can’t see what happened at all.
In mid-air, the faces of Sima Zheng, Bai Yousi, Zhang Changgong, and Xiong Bonan all changed, but with the naked eye, it was impossible for them to immediately find where the incident occurred. They had no choice but to tacitly give up the previous routine of fierce killing and fierce fighting, and began to descend together with room to move to the core area of the battlefield for observation.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Xing, who was walking in formation, walked out of the swamp according to the established route, and led a small group of the most elite troops of the Deposed Dragon Army to the flank of the official rear army.
Directly in front of them was an army formation with the flag "Jia" hanging in the middle.
The rain washed away the armor of both sides until it shone brightly. In the afternoon, the field of vision was still clear, and there was no obstacle between the two sides.
Zhang Xing glanced at the white-faced Jia Runshi on the side, pulled out the Jinglong Sword from the ground, pointed forward, spoke loudly again, and gave the order as usual: "Raise the flag, the whole army will follow me, move forward. Set up your position in the center of the battlefield."
The red-bottomed "deposed" flag was raised high. I originally thought that it would clump together because of the rain, but unexpectedly, as the formation was filled with true energy, the flag was actually wrapped in a layer of true energy, although it could not be fluttered in the wind. It's swaying, but it's enough to show off your figure.
At the reminder of the surrounding guards, Jia Wugen looked at the flag that suddenly appeared on the west flank in shock, and was stunned on the spot.
The next moment, the sound of killing surged from the back half of the official army. This elite deposed dragon army, which had successfully formed a formation on the road, led by Zhang Xing, rushed forward, and everyone was surrounded by soldiers with short swords. Hold the banner and move forward with all your strength.
Viewed from the air, it looked like a huge dagger, unstoppable, piercing into the soft flanks of the officers and soldiers, while the army formation in front of them was split into two like cut meat, making it impossible to organize effective resistance.
In fact, Jia Wugen immediately realized that he and his headquarters could not effectively stop this powerful force that seemed to be one body.
Not only that, seeing "that dagger" stabbing towards him under the guidance of the flag, and when the surrounding troops split into two and fled to both sides, Jia Wugen, who was inexplicably flustered, unexpectedly headed north, as if by some strange mistake. Just turn away from the rear.
The good news is that "the dagger" came to the central part of the preset battlefield where Jia Wugen was standing before, but stopped pursuing it. This gave Jia Juncheng a little breath of relief; the bad news is that this dagger obviously came from the deposed dragon army. After the elite troops from behind came to the center of the battlefield, they established their position and divided the battlefield majestically. Together with the deposed dragon army brigade in the southern fortifications, they captured at least 17,800 troops including Zhang Xuguo, Fan Hu, and Yu Baimei. Everyone was blocked in the middle.
The simplest, most direct, and least technical, but also the most effective, a little strategy that goes around and around. So far, it has been successful.
The gray-white ice energy was constantly overflowing. In the rain, Zhang Xing put down his maza in a majestic manner surrounded by people, and sat in the middle of the official road. The Jinglong Sword in his hand was inserted into the ground under his feet, becoming an armrest.
Upon seeing this, Jia Runshi immediately inserted the flag with the word "Deposed" on the red background into this place. Then almost a moment later, the ground froze hard and the flag stood firm again.
It was just past mid-afternoon. Although it was raining, there was still a clear field of vision, from the farthest general platform, to the fortifications occupied by Xu Shiying and others, to the front combat zone, to the nearest official and military reinforcements, including overhead Several experts and the entire battlefield saw this scene.
Everyone seemed stunned for a moment.
Then just when I was about to say something or do something, the mountain collapsed.
A literal mountain collapse.
Lishan, which had been raining for days and was full of water, seemed unable to withstand the noise of the humans below. Just a moment after Zhang Xing inserted the Jinglong Sword into the official road at the foot of the mountain, a small piece quickly collapsed.
The earth mountain collapsed in the continuous rain, almost causing a mudslide.
But Lishan is a small mountain after all. There are no rocks or water sources, so a corner of the mountain collapsed and quickly rolled to the bottom of the mountain. After dozens of fighting soldiers who had no time to escape were crushed under the soil, they returned to normal, as if they were really there. A true dragon protects you.
If you have to say what effect it had, it just made the entire battlefield quiet for a moment, making everyone really stunned.
But soon, after realizing the futility of this phenomenon, the ministries of both sides immediately jumped into the battle.
"send troops!"
No one else gave the order. Jia Yue, who saw this scene from the general stage in the distance, turned around and gave the order himself. Then he personally led a thousand Ji Yin tribe members affiliated to Zhang Xing and two to three hundred Huaiyou Alliance reinforcements and plunged into the west of the battlefield. In the water on the side.
And Shan Tonghai did not hesitate, and sneaked into the rear military camp to mobilize his three thousand soldiers according to the plan.
"Retreat!" Not very far away, Fan Hu stared at this scene with his mouth open, then immediately turned his horse's head and pointed at the "deposed" flag that inexplicably disappeared from the general platform and then suddenly appeared behind him, Duanjiang The true energy floats on the tip of the long knife, faintly like a glow. "Hurry up and attack with Jia Juncheng to eradicate this thief!"
"Send troops on all fronts, press forward!" Xu Shiying roared with all his strength, and the emerald-green immortality energy on his body that was originally like a python clearly started to move, like a living thing.
Zhang Changgong, who was the first to notice the situation here, sank down suddenly, but was hit hard by Xiong Bonan in mid-air and had to dodge in embarrassment.
"You!" Zhang Xuguo seemed to be slow to react. He didn't pay attention to the two-sided war. Instead, he called to his subordinate Zheng Biao, who had already chased him, and issued an inexplicable military order. "Go to the west and see where the water connected to the fortifications extends and how wide it is? Can we cross it?"
Zheng Biao looked back at the rear army formation where he instinctively turned back, but caused chaos. He immediately woke up and accepted the order.
As soon as the others left, Zhang Xuguo turned his horse's head and waved the spear in his hand. The glow of his true energy was clearly revealed, attracting the attention of everyone around him: "The whole army obeys the order! There are only a small group of thieves in the rear, so there is nothing to worry about. Take advantage of the thieves If you show up in front of them, defeat them here! The safety of the Eastern Territory is in danger, and the country will rise and fall. Let’s fight here!”
After saying that, he actually went straight to Xu Shiying's banner with his qualifications as a general.
The rain continued, and the battle suddenly became fierce. The lush plants on Mount Li still swayed slightly, and they continued to watch the battle.
During the fierce battle, Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the horse and holding the Jinglong Sword, finally came to his senses. However, he freed up a hand to fumble around in the arms of his armor, as if he wanted to find another pancake, but it was a pity. , he didn't find it, only took out a compass, and then stuffed it in randomly.
ps: Thank you Mr. Xiaohei of Lingshui for another alliance...I love you.
