The sun had just turned a little to the west, and the Deposed Dragon Army, which had only rested for a quarter of an hour, immediately launched an attack. At the same time as the opponent launched an attack, Han Yingong, the commander of the blocking force, took the initiative to retreat.
This was the predetermined plan, and Han Yingong knew it very well. Not to mention that the four thousand soldiers were reduced on the way. Even if the eight thousand full soldiers and horses were in full formation, they could not be the opponent of the main force of the fifth battalion of the Deposed Dragon Army. It was not because the army could not resist. It's because the high-end combat power is too different. He doesn't know the power of the Thirteen Vajras, but he has long been scratched by people like Xiong Bonan, Zhang Xing, Xu Shiren, Wang Shuyong, and Jia Yue, and he is fighting with some people. There have been fights.
Therefore, we can only retreat, and we must retreat resolutely, decisively, and in an organized manner.
Because retreating does not mean giving up the fight, but layer upon layer, fighting while retreating, delaying obstacles, and waiting for reinforcements.
Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong will arrive first to suppress the high-level combat power of the Deposed Dragon Army, and the follow-up troops will surround the Deposed Dragon Army, forcing the top and bottom members to collapse and fall into the trap of being hunted. This is a serious strategy.
To put it bluntly, it is just a bet on the time difference to see how quickly the reinforcements arrive, and whether the sharp knife that has been pierced to the end of the Dragon Army is still good or not?
However, putting all this aside, when the Dragon Army launched a surprise attack and Han Yingong led the three core teams to retreat, this boy who followed his brother as a boy had experienced the battle to destroy the Chen Dynasty. After entering the palace, the senior general of the Wei Dynasty, who had become completely smooth during the three campaigns against Dongyi, still instinctively realized that there was basically no hope for this battle.
Because the Deposed Dragon Army was so decisive, so decisive that Zhang Xing personally charged into the formation, the mist that the ice energy dispersed at noon was really terrifying; and he himself had divided his troops after all, and was missing half of the troops. The soldiers had just arrived and had no fortifications to rely on.
One will wax and wane, and there is a high probability that it will be gone. But what does that have to do with him?
The differences between him and Liu Yangji now seem to be that he was right, and the division of troops was also requested by Liu Yangji. Should he be blamed if he can't resist now? Didn't he resolutely implement Bai Hengqiu's military orders to stop him?
In fact, I have tried my best to protect my life and military power.
But since Liu Yangji was hated and he had defected to the British Duke early, would he take the opportunity to slander the British Duke? And after the Bai family takes control of Guanlong, will he be able to establish a foothold around the Bai family? When the time comes, will he rely on his military exploits against the Wu clan, or will he find old connections with his in-laws?
While his mind was spinning, Han Yingong suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that he suddenly thought of his nephew Li Ding, who originally thought that the guy was better than him. When the troubled times started, he was falling down and the guy was climbing up. He thought that he would be able to rely on him. Unexpectedly, the British man had just had a fight with the Deposed Dragon Gang. It was not painful for both sides. It looked like a draw, but he first destroyed his nephew's independence.
Since Bai Hengqiu took away the soldiers and horses of Wu'an Army, he must do something about it. After this battle, Li Ding will either serve as Bai's shield in Hebei and endure the beatings of the Deposed Dragon Gang, or surrender to his friend Zhang Xing should deal with Bai Hengqiu's sharp knife.
At this thought, Han Yingong couldn't help but feel upset. ….
At this time, two lines of true energy suddenly flew out of the mist in front of them. The former one was light golden, and the latter one looked a little red, but they both looked a little white under the sunlight during the day, and they were both flying as fast as meteors. Come. Han Yingong, who was still thinking wildly at first, was shocked when he saw this, and quickly abandoned his horse and retreated.
As a result, the first long arrow with Duanjiang Zhenqi fell on Han Yingong's mount, cutting off the horse completely. Blood and water splashed for several feet, and the second long arrow wrapped with Lihuo Zhenqi continued to fly. , actually flew twenty or thirty steps further than the previous long arrow, and then exploded after touching the ground.
Han Yin's bow that had just fallen was caught off guard. Although it was not hit directly by the arrow, it was still completely overturned. His left arm was even more impacted. It was unbearably hot for a moment, but it was the Duanjiang Zhenqi drawn by the previous arrow that passed through it first. The body-protecting Qi, and then the Lihuo Qi drawn by a long arrow took advantage of the weakness and entered.
Not only that, there were also many casualties among his close associates. A captain, many soldiers and clerks died on the spot, and many wooden utensils and clothes caught fire.
In the light of the fire, Han Yingong, who was covered in horse blood, got up. He held his shoulders and retreated in embarrassment before he could change his horse.
How could General Guan Long still not wake up? Even though he had already predicted the deposed Dragon Army, it was still not enough! The Deposed Dragon Army was more decisive than he thought, and their combat power and tactics exceeded his imagination.
By this time, he had no thoughts at all and was just concentrating on surviving.
Long before the Deposed Dragon Army collided with Han Yingong's blocking force, a hundred miles away, Li Ding and his wife, who did not hesitate to leave the battlefield at the moment when the Deposed Dragon Army protruded from the northwest, had already stopped at We arrived in front of a semi-permanent pontoon on the upper reaches of Qingzhang River, then crossed the Qingzhang River from here, and calmly arrived at the south bank.
At the moment before the two arrows were shot, the couple also arrived at the goal of their trip:
First there was a group of dozens of sentinels. They stopped and stood obediently behind Li Ding, acting as ceremonial guards;
Then there was a group of 150 outposts. After receiving the order, they stopped directly and lined up on the official road on the south bank of Qingzhang River, blocking the official road and the direction of the rear army's advance;
Then Fan Lihua arrived with 500 cavalry. Li Ding waved his hand, and Fan Lihua immediately led the army to the deserted field on the south side of the official road, and set up a trap with a group of infantry and Qing Zhangshui. , covering the advancing direction of the rear army;
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chen was astonished. His three thousand troops were considered serious front troops. Hearing the message, they came on flying horses. Li Ding did not say a word, but just pointed to the north bank of Qingzhang River. Although the latter was heartbroken. He was shocked, but remembering the words spoken by both sides before the battle, he bowed to Mr. Li without hesitation, then led his troops onto the pontoon, arrived on the other side of the Qingzhang River, and followed the official road to the north towards Wu'an County.
At this time, the changes in the army could no longer be concealed. Even if no one reported the news, Duan Wei at the rear finally noticed something was wrong. However, he received a clear reply shortly after sending a soldier brought from Dongdu:
"Duan Gong! It's Mr. Li Fu. He ordered from the front that the entire Wu'an army should turn around and return to Wu'an Black Emperor Temple for resettlement! Fan Lihua's department is supervising, and Wang Chen's stunned department has already begun to turn around!"….
Duan Wei stopped there in silence for a moment, then ordered on his horse: "Go and find Wang Chen, come here!" He joined the army and rode away, but after a moment he turned back and said: "Captain Wang has already crossed the river!"
Duan Wei clicked his tongue, rode forward, and took the initiative to look for Li Ding. After a moment, he saw his old subordinate Li Ding and Li Silang. He was really an old subordinate. He had been the Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, and Li Silang I also spent a long time at the Ministry of War. It seems that I have been responsible for building bridges and paving roads?
When the two sides met, Li Ding took the initiative to dismount. At the same time, Wang Chen's troops were stunned and continued to fight from the pontoon. "Mr. Duan!" Li Ding bowed under his horse and bowed his hands.
"What's going on?" Duan Wei only stood still on his horse, but glanced at Zhang Shiniang who was also motionless. He knew very well that this peerless beauty, Mrs. Li, was definitely a master who was only inferior to the master. , he became an elixir in his prime, but gradually fell into disuse, and was no longer a match for this woman.
"Report to Duke Duan, depose the dragon army before dawn
They successfully broke through from the northwest, and now the whole army has moved towards Xiangguo County under my rule. I want the Wu'an army to turn back quickly and set up camp in Wu'an County for observation. Li Ding spoke simply. "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose both people and land." "
Duan Wei was obviously surprised: "The breakout was successful? Northwest?" "Yes."
Duan Wei was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How is the Dongdu Army doing?"
"Baikong deliberately ignored it, so that Xu Shiying's battalion penetrated half of the camp and left majestically, and then the northwest side of the Dragon Army took the opportunity to break out, so Baigong simply asked Zheng Shanye to lead the remaining soldiers and horses out of the camp. Chase."
Duan Wei couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, and smiled bitterly: "He is quite generous."
"Mr. Bai is naturally grand, and the troops and horses are thrown around at will." Li Ding put his hands behind his hands, looked up at the sun above his head, and then said sternly. "Actually, from the principle of kindness not commanding troops, there is no problem in throwing troops and horses to increase the chance of victory. In addition, the situation is difficult, and the coalition forces are trustworthy and not trustworthy. I don't blame him for doing this. It's just that , hasn’t Zhang Xing led the deposed dragon army to break out now? Then I will naturally take back the troops and protect the place, and I also ask Duke Duan to complete it."
After saying that, he bowed again.
Behind him, Zhang Shiniang didn't say a word, but stood on her horse with her sword in hand. The Wu'an Army next to him still turned to the north like flowing water.
Seeing this situation, Duan Wei could only sigh: "Now that things have happened, don't say what you said makes sense. Even if it doesn't make sense, I can't keep your troops. But, Li Silang, I can leave, you Can you withstand Duke Bai’s power after I leave?”
"It doesn't matter." Li Ding seemed to have already thought about it. "After today, if Duke Bai can tolerate Luo Shu and Duke Xue staying in Hebei, he can also tolerate me staying in Hebei, provided that Wu'an's army comes back."
"As long as you are prepared." Duan Wei nodded, and then continued to speak on the horse. "In that case, you go to the north, and I will go to the south to gather the deserters."
"This is natural." Li Ding continued. "If my subordinates are right, the reason why Lord Bai let the Dongdu Army go so far was because he wanted to immediately turn around and deal with Li Shu after today's end, regardless of success or failure. Then as long as we hold on to a few key points, we can naturally take care of him along the way. The fleeing Dongdu Army.”….
"What do you call Dou Qi's son, the one who guards the official road of Wuyang County?" Duan Wei understood instantly. "Dou Li."
"Tsk!" Duan Wei nodded immediately, but still didn't move. Instead, he stood up on his mount under the scorching sun above his head.
But Li Ding didn't say anything. After a while, Wang Chen was shocked that his troops had passed by, and another follow-up troops arrived.
When the "two coaches" were silent and did not make any moves, they did not hesitate to turn left onto the pontoon and head north to Wu'an.
At this time, Duan Weicai seemed to have come to his senses and said to Li Ding in front of him: "Li Silang." "Mr. Duan." Li Ding was still respectful.
"Now that things have happened, I don't know when the next time we will see each other is. Let me say a few more words." "Yes."
"It's difficult to be independent in this world. Sometimes you have to submit to others. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
.”
"However, even if you succumb to others, you still have to figure out what you want and what you want to do, and you can't lose it. You can't lose the tone in your heart. Do you understand what I mean?" Duan Wei said sincerely.
"My subordinate understands." Li Ding answered seriously.
"That's good, that's good." Duan Wei nodded, then pointed to Fan Lihua. "Let this 500-year-old leader escort me over with his cavalry, and we can discuss the rest after taking over the Taiyuan troops left behind in Wuyang."
"Okay." Li Ding was naturally speechless.
Duan Wei nodded again, then finally reined in his horse and turned, parting ways with Li Silang under the sunshine of the spring afternoon.
Li Ding watched the opponent and hundreds of cavalry go south, and was not in a hurry to get on his horse, but continued to stand in front of the pontoon bridge to supervise the troops' crossing and return.
Just when the Wu'an Army was easily recaptured by Li Ding and the troops were about halfway across the pontoon bridge, the Deposed Dragon Army, led by Zhang Xing, had completely broken through several defense lines deployed by Han Yingong. But at this time, I don't know whether it was luck or unlucky. Fortunately, Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong have also arrived at the battlefield.
Accompanying the arrival of the Grand Master, there was a huge golden chess piece floating in the air and a golden sword, but other than that, there was nothing.
It was obvious that the pursuing troops were too numerous or scattered, or had their own agendas, and were unable to maintain the previous pursuit status.
"Let's make a move!" Xue Changxiong looked indifferent and relaxed, with good reasons. "The front has been broken through, and there are no soldiers and horses in the rear to follow. This way, we don't have to worry about it. If you make this move, you will have done your best!"
"Why do you seem so impatient all the time?" Bai Hengqiu, who had always been livid, turned around and asked. "Didn't we make it clear at the camp before dawn?"
"I've made it clear, but this time it's not that I'm impatient, but that I'm afraid that you won't dare to admit defeat." Xue Changxiong said firmly. "Mr. Bai, you like to play chess the most. Judging from your posture, it is obvious that you have mastered chess. In this case, you should know that the most taboo thing in playing chess is to be entangled in a situation that has been decided! In this game, you can't hit a single hit that day. We couldn't stop it last night, so we should just do our best and obey fate. Besides, if the world is the chessboard, and the chessboard is so big, there is no need to delay going to the Eastern Capital to place the stone and then Kansai to raise the dragon!"
Bai Hengqiu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Yes, Mr. Xue is more understanding than me this time."…
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and flew forward. The huge chess piece seemed to be nothing and followed him unimpeded.
The rear troops of the Deposed Dragon Army, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rolled up a large purple flag. It was obviously Xiong Bonan himself holding the flag.
A flag with the word "deposed" broke behind it, but Bai Hengqiu ignored it at all and actually flew straight over. The big flag followed immediately, but it was obviously a step behind in speed. The deposed dragon army that followed saw this, coupled with the previous night and the experience during the first battle, they fled like frightened wild horses, but the speed difference was too far, and they could only go to the official road like a wave being separated. Fleeing in the fields on both sides.
Seeing Xiong Bonan chasing behind him, and Zhang Xing leading a group of gang elites in front of him to encourage groups of ice energy to turn back, and the Thirteen Vajras were unknown, Bai Hengqiu did not hesitate, and suddenly brought enough Huge golden chess pieces with a radius of several feet were thrown towards the Deposed Dragon Army battle group in front of him that had not had time to split up!
As soon as the son fell, the sound of explosions and piercing the sky covered everything, and the flow of time seemed to be temporarily stopped.
After the explosion, countless soldiers were wailing and bewildered. It was the dead and injured everywhere. It was the sudden explosion of a huge crater on the huge and smooth official road. It was the peripheral officers who were trying hard to maintain order and gather the troops. It was the purple color of Xiong Bonan. The flag was flying toward the pit. Han Yingong, who had already fled to the field on one side, suddenly turned back with his heart pounding. The troops from all sides within a radius of dozens of miles looked at him in surprise.
After Bai Hengqiu struck,
He was not in a hurry to leave, but declared in the air: "Zhang Sanlang, I want to destroy your momentum with a surprise attack. I am arrogant. You don't need to tell me about this disaster. I will tell the world that you have succeeded! But the world is in trouble." , can bear all things, not just you and me, but everyone in the world will come to play this game. Who wins and who loses depends on everyone's efforts! The only thing is that you have to Depose the dragon, I want to become a dragon, the other families may have their own opinions, but you and I will definitely be at odds with each other!"
"What Mr. Bai said is absolutely true! In this single battle, our Deposed Dragon Gang lost thousands of elites. If we hate this, we should be incompatible with each other! Not to mention that the Deposed Dragon Gang was about to depose your dragon! "Zhang Xing immediately raised his voice in the mist and answered without any hesitation.
"Both each other!" Bai Hengqiu suddenly smiled, then ignored the purple flag below and flew south without looking back.
As soon as this man left, Xue Changxiong immediately put away his sword and walked away. Han Yingong went to the west side of Xiangguo County city as agreed with the army without raising his head.
As for Chief Zhang Xingzhang, he stood in the mist on a yellow gelding, watching the other party disappear with an expressionless face, but he felt relieved and worried at the same time in his heart. After all, this blow not only officially brought the long-dead battle to an end, but also made the people around here realize the majesty of the Grand Master again, and it also clarified the positions of both sides!
If the Deposed Dragon Gang wants to truly establish its business, it must depose this dragon!
"Save people, then leave! Don't stop, we'll talk about it when we get to Dalu Ze!" After coming back to his senses, Zhang Xing immediately dismounted and gave the order. "Carry all the wounded on horses, arrange the bodies on the spot, put them in the pit first, cut down trees to cover them, and come back to pay homage later!"
The people around him responded enthusiastically, and several experts even went to cut down and retrieve the wood themselves. The surrounding fog dissipated and the golden light disappeared, revealing the true face of the entire earth again. ….
In the evening, the main force of the deposed dragon army finally arrived at Dalu Ze.
Mainland Lake covers a vast area, intertwined with water moors and harbors. In the spring, almost all the reed flowers have been blown down by the spring breeze. However, the lush new green intersects with the withered and undefeated old reed trunks, making them more dense. This makes it difficult for troops to disperse once they disperse. It is difficult to find traces, and no pursuers will choose to invest in it.
The deposed dragon army entered, was quickly divided by the terrain, and then settled down separately. Zhang Xing and others only found a low-footed earth hill that was obviously piled up by the mud during the dredging of the river. They also hurriedly landed to rest and had no choice. The troops had reached their limit and could not do anything. I can't hold on any longer.
In fact, as soon as I sat down, the reports came one after another, and most of them were bad news:
"I took a rough summary on the way, and I checked again just now. It is estimated that there are more than 6,000 people left, and more than 20% of them are injured people with limited mobility."
"So many people died in the battle? Our five battalions plus some scattered ones total more than 10,000 people!"
"No, there were too many people separated. I estimate that more than a thousand people died in this breakout."
"It's still too much. Don't forget that there are Xu Dalang and Xiao Zhou, especially Xiao Zhou's armored cavalry battalion. They suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. This time they lured the enemy and were flanked."
"Yes, not only this breakout, but also the head-on battle with Bai Hengqiu at the beginning, there were many casualties."
"It's useless to think about this now. The key is the present. What is the biggest trouble in front of you?"
"There is a complete shortage of food. We broke out with only dry food for one day and night. We ate one or two meals and lost a lot. I am afraid that we may not even have enough for one meal."
"Then let's have a meal first. Manager Cui will take charge of this matter. He will collect the reeds, boil water with his helmet, make rice and cakes, and catch any fish that can be caught. You can also eat aquatic plants, crabs, and toads! If you really can't kill the injured horse, don't do it. Delay dinner!"
"Eat this meal first, but don't kill the horses unless you have to. Many horses are just exhausted and will be needed later when we return to the plains."
"The ordnance is also missing. Armor and weapons are too scattered on the road."
"So we have to wait for reinforcements here. We need reinforcements to pick up the troops, and then go to a safe place to rest properly before trying to turn back."
"That's all. But can the reinforcements be trusted? We are only nominal subordinates to Northern Shanxi, and there are only a few lines of personal communication. The Northern Demon Guards are not even allies." Wang Shuyong suddenly raised a question.
"Don't worry about that." Ma Wei slumped on a pile of reed poles and panted. "Firstly, Bai Hengqiu suddenly left Hongshan and came to Hebei, forcing everyone to divide, either one or the other. Those in northern Shanxi and the northern region can rely on them at this time as long as they have not defected to Bai Hengqiu; secondly, Now that Bai Hengqiu is gone, they will not betray easily; thirdly, we have many experts and we are not afraid of them!"
"Then when will they arrive?" Wang Shuyong thought for a while and then asked. "Or have we already arrived and got lost in the mainland? Or maybe we encountered some coalition troops and were unable to walk?"
Many people seemed confused about this issue.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Gongshen, who had been silent, saw that the others were silent, and then he said seriously: "How about I go find and greet you? Xiangguo County is further north, over to Zhao County and Dai County. I’m actually quite familiar with him, and I’ve also met Chief Zhang’s uncle over in the Northland.”….
"No!" Zhang Xing waved his hand immediately. "If they are lost in the north of Daluze, we will light a bonfire soon, and they will naturally find it at night. If they haven't arrived yet or are blocked on the way, please ask King Xiongtian and Leader Wu Da to go north tomorrow. That’s it. Gongshen, please don’t go. At this point, you just treat yourself as dead in this battle. Anyway, we will never allow you to take risks again. If something happens, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
Zhang Gongshen thought for a moment and nodded directly.
After saying this, many people became relaxed. In addition, the bonfire had been lit, and many people who were originally standing also sat down.
Ma Wei, who was only catching his breath, tried hard to stick to his job responsibilities, but continued: "Actually, it is one thing to doubt the stance of the reinforcements, but whether the reinforcements have second thoughts is another matter."
"What's the meaning?"
Around the bonfire, everyone became nervous again, and Zhang Xing did not react for a while.
"Although we escaped, we were stranded, with many casualties and many casualties. We were not fully clothed in armor. What's more, we were alone behind enemy lines and had to rely on reinforcements. Those people who don't have a close relationship with us, what if they treat us with contempt?
manage? "Ma Wei obviously has a lot on his mind.
"That's not the case, we have a plot behind us, we're just hanging it out temporarily." Wang Shuyong frowned. "At this point, is there anyone who doesn't know the power of our Deposed Dragon Gang?"
"It's hard to say, especially in Beidi, where information is isolated. In fact, there are some tribes in northern Shanxi that are of mixed witch and ethnic origin. They are short-sighted and very ignorant."
"It's really disrespectful." After supervising the main troops entering Dalu Ze, Niuda came over and shook his arms. "As of now, everything is done to get out of trouble and go back. As long as you can go back, are you still afraid of being looked down upon?"
From Xiong Bonan down, almost everyone among the gathered leaders nodded and agreed. Even Ma Wei, who raised this concern, also nodded, obviously in agreement.
r>On the other hand, Zhang Xing just nodded, but had some inexplicable thoughts.
In this way, as the sun sets, the bonfire gradually lights up. By this point, everyone was exhausted. Even though Xiong Bonan and Thirteen King Kong had defeated Bai Hengqiu's two chess pieces before dawn, they were all weak inside. Therefore, after arriving at Dalu Ze, the entire army was exhausted. Relax, and after just hearing Ma Wei analyze the situation and knowing that the last danger is actually not big, even these leaders are completely relieved.
For a time, the stars in the continent were scattered and could be seen from a distance, but they unexpectedly became quiet. In other words, the night wind picked up again. Especially last night, the sounds such as the groans of wounded soldiers and the coming and going of a few night watchmen were all wiped out by the night wind. Blown away.
However, at midnight, a large force of soldiers and horses suddenly entered from the east side of Dalu Ze, and immediately alerted the Deposed Dragon Army, which had recovered some of its mobility. Xiong Bonan and Wu Jingfeng went together After checking, they were surprised to find that the visitors were actually Xu Shiying, Cheng Zhili and Zhou Xingfan. The three of them actually led the two battalions that had been divided into baits to come here.
After struggling for a while, the troops gathered together, including Zhou Xingfan who was being carried, and the three generals came to Zhang Xing together. The leaders around were all surprised and asked questions one after another. ….
"How's the injury?" Even Zhang Xing, after seeing Zhou Xingfan's injury, quickly got up to check.
"It's okay, I can survive." Xiao Zhou, who had just been put down, blurted out next to the fire, interrupting Xu Shiying's introduction. "It's just a pity that the Armored Cavalry Battalion suffered a lot before, and it lost a lot of people in this battle. This is probably the first battalion leader of the Deposed Dragon Army to be crippled. I really feel sorry for the brothers above and below."
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers and horses will be reunited after they are separated, the camp will be raised again after the camp is destroyed, and the people will be raised again after being injured. As long as you act with a clear conscience, no one can be sorry for anyone?" Zhang Xing, who had come to rest, immediately raised his voice to comfort. "You and your brothers from the Armored Cavalry Camp are the foundation of the Deposed Dragon Gang!"
Xiong Bonan also said immediately: "Yes, good men are beaten out. After today, who dares to say that your Armored Cavalry Camp is not the foundation of our Deposed Dragon Gang?"
Xiao Zhou nodded calmly when he heard this, accepted this statement, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that Zhang Xing and Zhou Xingfan were conversing properly, Xu Dalang stepped forward and offered the Jinglong Sword in his hands: "Chief, fortunately, I have brought this sword back to you!"
"How can there be any reason to take back something that has been sent out?" Zhang Xing glanced at Xu Dalang and suddenly smiled. "I said last night that from now on, you will still be responsible for holding the sword for me."
Xu Dalang wanted to speak, but Chief Zhang Da looked around and issued a military order: "Everyone, I gave this sword to Xu Dalang before. My original intention was to worry that we would be isolated from the base area when we broke out from the northwest, so we could not care about each other, so I entrusted Xu Dalang with military affairs there. Now that he is here, I still mean the same thing. Xu Dalang is both wise and courageous, and he is outstanding in martial arts. More importantly, he is able to move up and down. He does not have distracting thoughts because of his change in status. He always works hard and does not complain. He is truly our own member of the Dragon Clan. Hero, how can you not entrust him with important tasks? Now let Xu Dalang handle the military affairs of the army! In order to return to the army as soon as possible!"
Xu Dalang didn't feel numb this time. He just bowed and took back the long sword with complicated emotions.
At this time, Zhang Xingcai looked at Cheng Dalang, but just nodded: "It's good that Cheng Dalang is here! Xiao Zhou is seriously injured. The Jiaqi Battalion is your old unit. You can lead it temporarily!"
He didn't even ask the other party why he gave up his duties as the prefect of Pingyuan.
There is no way, there are too many things, too many people, and the army is too exhausted. I can only talk about the key points, and my mind can only be on serious matters and key people.
Of course, the most important point is that Zhang Xing knows very well that there is no one more shrewd than Xu and Cheng here. There are some things that are tacitly understood and can be expressed later.
Sure enough, Cheng Dalang just nodded and said nothing more.
But when he got here, Zhang Xing thought about it and suddenly remembered something important. Then he was not in a hurry to rest again. Instead, he continued to speak slowly beside the fire: "Everyone, since everyone is here, The soldiers have also slept peacefully, and it’s time for me to tell everyone the truth.”
All the leaders were surprised.
"The Fulong Seal only broke into pieces once or twice against Bai Hengqiu when the Taiyuan Army overtook them." Zhang Xing said, taking out a small bag from his arms, pouring out the broken copper seal shards, and spreading it out. in hand. "I have been bluffing Bai Hengqiu since that day, and this matter is of great importance. Even under tight siege, I dare not tell anyone to listen."…
From Xiong Bonan down, almost everyone fell into a strange atmosphere of silence. Almost everyone was dumbfounded. Wu Jingfeng even went to check it out with his own hands after shaking his body for a moment. Of course, almost everyone believed it the first time, but this did not stop them from being surprised by this matter. Even Xu Shiying, who had come back to his senses, felt a little excited at this time.
Too cruel. This man actually held back!
"Also, I have an idea. It's just an idea. I just came up with it." Zhang Xing poured the shards of Fu Long Seal to Wu Jingfeng and continued. "If Bai Hengqiu retreats quickly, the coalition forces are destroyed beyond repair, and our reinforcements can be reunited in time, then I want to try to go south and go back from Wu'an-Wuyang-Qinghe!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Shiying was shocked.
"It just means to make a comeback." Chief Zhang replied frankly. "Who to kill?" Xu Shiying was still uneasy.
"Li Ding." Zhang Xing replied. "His soldiers and horses were taken away by Bai Hengqiu during our breakout. No matter what the process was, even if he takes it back easily, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken. Let's fight back at this time."
So bold!
Xu Shiying was a little shocked, but quickly thought about the possibilities.
"Caught him off guard?" Ma Wei asked seriously. "Force him to surrender?"
"yes."
"But the prerequisite for success is that Bai Hengqiu moves very fast, and other coalition forces also move very fast, so that no one has time to turn around to support, and Li Ding must be frightened." Xu Shiying analyzed carefully. "With just a few thousand reinforcements, it's unlikely that this person will be frightened, right?"
"Indeed, but if that's the case, we will take the opportunity to turn around and escape back to the plains from the original battlefield." Zhang Xing said simply.
So cunning!
Xu Shiying sighed in his heart, but shook his head repeatedly: "In addition to Bai Hengqiu, there are two other masters, Wang Huaitong and Cui Tan. The former is likely to return to Taiyuan from Wu'an, and the latter is on our way back. We are in such a mess that we can't even finish a meal." I don’t even know where it is, it’s still too risky.”
"Yes, so it's just an idea." Zhang San smiled instead. "We'll wait and see how the situation develops." Xu Shiying and others were speechless.
