Deng Fei raised his sword and pushed away the crowd, but just as Ma Shun chopped down another person, Deng Fei's canthus was split open and his red eyes became even redder. He used his great strength and struck at Ma Shun viciously.
Ma Shun finally broke through the gap in the army's formation, but there was no joy on his face. This group of "official soldiers" was so strange that he chopped down two people one after another. Instead of being disbanded, the soldiers all moved forward bravely, trying to maintain their formation even if they risked their lives. Taking advantage of the break to catch his breath, Ma Shun glanced at this group of strange officers and soldiers with green faces, sparse martial arts but tight formations, and almost no fear of death, and a chill could not help but rise in his heart.
"What kind of officers and soldiers did I meet this time? Are they so hand-in-hand? They are completely different from the Turkish troops in Dengzhou County and the patrol village. Their attire is not the soldiers of the saury patrol village and the peace navy embargo. Could it be? The Imperial Guards stationed on the shore? Why are they not wearing military uniforms?"
Just when Mashun was confused, a bad wind suddenly blew in his ears. He turned away subconsciously, and a broad-bladed knife almost grazed his arm and chopped it into the air. A man covered in armor and with ferocious red eyes appeared in front of the formation.
"Hurt my child, and I will chop you into pieces!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ma Shun to speak, and just slashed and stabbed him, forcing Ma Shun to retreat continuously. It's a pity that the Pu Dao in Deng Fei's hand is a sharp weapon for fighting in the rivers and lakes, but it is difficult to exert its full power in a dense military formation. Therefore, although Mashun has no power to fight back, his life is not in danger for the time being.
In the team, Yang Lin remembered Zou Run's instructions before the war started. He did not rush out of the formation like Deng Fei, but always stayed in the spear team and fulfilled his duties as a commander. The spear in his hand was already soaked with blood. In just a moment, he commanded the spearman and stabbed continuously. All the pirates who were the first to attack his own army were killed by the spear.
Zou Run had also noticed Ma Shun cutting down his own soldiers, and also saw Deng Fei and Ma Shun fighting each other, but he did not pay too much attention to it. He focused all his attention on commanding this embryonic team. From behind, he kept giving instructions or shouting slogans, adjusting his offensive formation, and kept moving forward.
Regarding this battle, Zou Run was keenly aware when he first understood the enemy's situation that this was the best opportunity to train his troops and let his soldiers see blood. After experiencing this real battle scene, the effect was comparable to that in training. I have been practicing hard on the field for half a year.
There are no sharpshooters on the shooting range, and no famous generals on the school field. Of course, training alone cannot create a strong army. This has been true since ancient times.
Therefore, Zou Run did not take action directly. Killing the enemy's head and showing off was not his original intention. Standing steadily in the formation and learning how to command the army correctly is what he should really do as the leader of a stronghold.
As the two teams were strangled together, the archers at the rear had lost their maximum role in this situation. Zou Run specially ordered them to be scattered on both wings, holding bows to intimidate the remaining pirates who were watching in the dark and ready to move. .
In fact, Zou Run thinks too highly of these pirates. Youdao is a fan of the authorities, and he is a bystander. He is in the middle of the battle and cannot see the overall situation. But these guys who saw something was not going well when the battle broke out and decisively chose to abandon Mashun and ran to the front and back of the house, the mountains and the woods to watch, actually witnessed the entire battle with their own eyes.
In their eyes, this group of "official soldiers" were ruthless in their tactics. Their swordsmen and shield-hands were shielding them from the wind, their spearmen were stabbing like a forest, and there were archers behind them. His leader led the most courageous group of leaders and confidants into the battle. With such a brave momentum, those officers and soldiers who had fought before would have left their teammates and fled in all directions, but now the people who fell on the ground were Most of them are my own minions.
After seeing this clearly, how can they have the courage to stroke the tiger's beard?
A quarter of an hour later, a dozen or so bloody corpses were lying beneath the Dengyun Mountain military formation. The remaining eight or nine pirates were already frightened. They were using their weapons for parrying and had no intention of fighting back. , the steps retreated again and again, until they reached the wall of their Juyi Hall, and there was no way to retreat. Zou Run then ordered the soldiers to slowly form a semi-circular circle, tightly trapping this group of people, including Deng Fei, who was still fighting with Mashun.
The "officials and soldiers" in front of them had murderous looks on their faces, spears in their hands, and the tips of the spears were soaked in blood. Who would dare to go up and die? The pirates looked horrified and looked at each other. If their leader hadn't been fighting, they would have left their weapons and surrendered long ago.
At this time, Deng Fei became more and more courageous in fighting. Without the restrictions of the dense formation, his simple sword showed great power. Each sword was as fast as a sword and as hard as a sword. Bitter water oozed from the corner of Ma Shun's mouth. He could no longer resist and shouted, " Master, spare your life! I am willing to surrender, I have important secrets that I am willing to dedicate to Master..."
"Who is your military master? Grandpas are the heroes who climbed Yunshan Mountain! I'm here today to kill you!"
Deng Fei hated him for killing his men, and was very angry. He refused to stop, but Ma Shun kept shouting, but Deng Fei, who was in a strong position and refused to show mercy, saw the flaw and slashed him to the ground with a knife in his pocket. Yang Lin caught up and shot him again, nailing him to the ground.
Mashun's eyes widened, and blood sputtered from the corners of his mouth. There was a trace of resentment in his eyes, which became weaker and weaker, and then lost all its luster. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a loud sound of weapons falling to the ground. The minions in the encirclement threw their weapons one after another, fell to their knees on the ground, and shouted:
"I'm waiting for you"
"Hero, spare your life..."
The minions who were hiding around and watching heard that they were not officers and soldiers, but fellow comrades. They turned from surprise to joy, and they all showed their bodies, knelt on the ground at a distance, and said they were willing to surrender and prayed for mercy and life.
Everyone turned their attention to Zou Run. Zou Run took off his helmet, handed the spear and bow and arrows to the men beside him, glanced at the dead Mashun, and said softly:
"If those who surrender are not killed, they will all be tied up and imprisoned in groups of five until the follow-up trial is completed."
Then he named several leaders and ordered them to clean the battlefield and bind the prisoners. He called Yang Lin and Deng Fei again and asked them in a gentle voice whether they were injured.
"The leader of the village is worried about me. Thanks to this armor, I just scratched my skin a little bit, so it doesn't matter. Hehe."
This time he won a great victory, and he also made a profit. He killed the enemy's head alone, and finally made a contribution. Deng Fei was so happy that he got what he wanted, so he rarely spoke before Yang Lin.
Seeing the silly smile on the red-eyed man's face, Zou Run couldn't help but smile, but he quickly put on a serious face, pulled him aside, and said complainingly, "Brother, why are you taking such risks? I don't think this is so smooth." With some means, we can command the soldiers freely in the formation, and we will be able to take him sooner or later. Before the war started, I had ordered that today we should train troops in the presence of blood, and it is not worthy of showing off one's courage. What I am afraid of is that my brother is eager to make meritorious deeds, and uses swords and guns in battle. Wuyan, if there is any chance...if you don't get my general order next time, you must not do this!"
Listening to Zou Run's words of concern rather than blame, Deng Fei was moved from the bottom of his heart. He naturally knew that Zou Run was doing it for his own good and was afraid of what might happen on the battlefield. However, he was a straight man and had been a leader since he came up the mountain. He had never received any credit. Zou Run valued him in every possible way, although no one said There are no rumors, but he himself has always felt guilty and eager to prove himself.
Later, the longer they got along, Deng Fei recognized and admired this village leader who was younger than him from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to serve Zou Run from the bottom of his heart. Although Zou Run had spoken first in this battle, he asked Although he succeeded in killing Mashun in the end, he violated Zou Run's order under certain circumstances, so he immediately bowed and clasped his fists, sincerely admitting his mistake:
"The leader of the village said humbly, Deng Fei knows his mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment after returning to the mountain!"
Yang Lin smiled when he heard this and thought to himself, how could Zou Run punish Deng Fei for this.
Sure enough, Zou Run patted Deng Fei's shoulder gently and said to this straightforward and loyal man with sincerity:
"Punishment is unnecessary, but brother must remember it. Don't risk your own life unless it is absolutely necessary. You must know that even 10,000 mashuns are not worth half a hair in my heart."
After saying this, Zou Run turned around and walked into Juyi Hall.
Deng Fei, on the other hand, stood blankly on the spot, maintaining his bowed posture for a long time without moving. After a long time, a trace of tears overflowed from his eyes. Deng Fei could no longer calm down and was so moved that he choked up.
