Seeing Gui Sanniang panting, Tu Chaofeng was overjoyed. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
Gui Sanniang swung her knife in front of Tu Chaofeng again, but due to severe physical exhaustion, her knife was much slower than before. Tu Chaofeng saw this opportunity and swung the mace in his hand, hitting Guisan directly. On the mother's knife shaft.
Gui Sanniang was completely unprepared for Tu Chaofeng's attack. The weapons of both sides collided violently. The huge force made Gui Sanniang, who was severely exhausted, unable to hold on to the long knife in her hand, and let it fly out.
The weapon was smashed away. Gui Sanniang knew something was wrong, so she immediately turned her horse's head and prepared to rush back to the bandits' camp. But how could Tu Chaofeng, who had planned all this long ago, give Gui Sanniang a chance to escape? He quickly urged his horse to catch up, grabbed the soft armor on Gui Sanniang's back, dragged her onto his horse, laughed and headed towards the formation of officers and soldiers.
"Don't let the thief run away. Put Sanniang down for me!" Among the bandits in the Flying Eagle Club, Youtong had the best relationship with Gui Sanniang. Seeing that she had been captured by mistake, he immediately became anxious and rushed forward as soon as he spurred his horse on his crotch. come out.
But Youtong did not catch up with Tu Chaofeng. He was blocked by another general who rushed out from among the officers and soldiers, and the two sides fought on the same spot.
Youtong's kung fu was better than Gui Sanniang's. A pair of axes flew up and down in his hands, and soon the opponent was unable to resist. This situation immediately gave Youtong a plan to capture the opponent in exchange for Gui Sanniang.
However, Youtong's wishful thinking failed, because the officer general was also a smart man. Seeing that he was no match for Youtong, he found an opportunity to show off, and then quickly fled to his own camp.
You Tongdang refused to let the other party escape, so he followed closely behind him. Unexpectedly, he was approaching the officers and soldiers camp. Suddenly bows and arrows were fired from among the officers and soldiers, forcing Youtong to stop advancing and could only watch the opponent leave.
At this time, bursts of drums suddenly came from behind the officers and soldiers. This drum sound was the order for the entire army to launch an attack. Hearing the drum sounds, groups of Songzhou soldiers held weapons and rushed towards the hillside where the bandits were. Rushed over.
"Brothers from the White Tiger Army were killed with me!"
"Brothers and sisters of the Suzaku Army, everyone rush with me!"
Seeing the officers and soldiers launching a general attack, Chen Gang, the commander of the White Tiger Army, and Fan Lingyan, the commander of the Suzaku Army, issued orders to attack almost simultaneously. Because according to the plan agreed upon in advance, these two armies are the main forces fighting the officers and soldiers.
Chen Gang and Fan Lingyan's kung fu were both ranked among the best in the Flying Eagle Club. The two quickly encountered officers and soldiers, and each quickly killed many enemies. This time, the number of soldiers under their command increased greatly, and each one of them howled and stood together with the officers and soldiers.
A back-and-forth battle began at the foot of Fuhu Mountain. For a time, the battlefield became loud and violent, with people raising their heads and horses neighing. Officers, soldiers and gangsters intertwined and began a life-and-death struggle.
Chen Zhi's attack was somewhat exploratory, so he only put 20 to 30% of his troops into the battle. Therefore, the current number of officers and soldiers was smaller than that of the bandits.
However, the small number of soldiers does not mean that the officers and soldiers will suffer a disadvantage, because the formation of the officers and soldiers is very organized, with spearmen and chariots in the front and archers in the back, forming a three-dimensional attack pattern. More importantly, Liu Chuan's cavalry battalion was divided into two teams, outflanked on both sides like bandits.
The bandits obviously did not expect that the officers and soldiers had such good tactical qualities. Although the leaders of the Flying Eagle Society had attached great importance to training, how could they be compared with the experienced Songzhou soldiers in a short period of time.
After experiencing the initial stalemate, the bandits who had the numerical advantage were separated by the officers and soldiers, and soon fell into fighting on their own. The officers and soldiers advanced and retreated in a well-established manner, and gradually took control of the situation on the field.
"Oops, if this continues, we will be defeated before long." Seeing this situation, Zhuge Ying frowned and said from a high place.
At this time, Zhuge Ying felt very helpless. The understanding ability of these bandits was really poor. They had already made detailed arrangements before the war, but they fell into chaos as soon as they started. Even some leaders who had given good instructions before went to the battlefield and only focused on killing the enemy and did not play a commanding role at all. They allowed their bandits to be beaten to pieces by the officers and soldiers.
"I'll take people up." This situation made Ye Ying feel very helpless. The Qinglong Army he led was originally used as the last reserve force, but he didn't expect that it would be used so soon.
"After you go up there, don't be reluctant to fight. Try to rescue the besieged White Tiger Army and Suzaku Army brothers, and then return to the hillside and use the advantages of the terrain to deal with them."
Zhuge Ying knew that if Ye Ying did not lead people to fight at this time, the bandits would be defeated in a short time, so he had to agree to Ye Ying's plan.
Ye Ying is the one with the highest kung fu in the Flying Eagle Association, and there are many good players among his personal guards. As soon as they join the battlefield, they ease the situation a lot.
However, according to Zhuge Ying's arrangement, the bandits of the Qinglong Army, led by leaders at all levels, did not fight with the officers and soldiers. Instead, they rushed towards the encirclements formed by the officers and soldiers and brought out the bandits who were surrounded. .
In this way, with the help of the Green Dragon Army, the bandits of the White Tiger Army and the Suzaku Army of the Flying Eagle Society quickly left the battlefield and returned to the hillside, using the terrain to hold a stalemate with the officers and soldiers.
Seeing the bandits retreating to the hillside, the officers and soldiers had no intention of stopping. They began to organize their men and charge up the hillside.
It has to be said that Songzhou soldiers fought very bravely. They braved the rain of arrows from the bandits, quickly rushed to the front of the ramp, and fought hand to hand with the bandits.
But at this time, the officers and soldiers no longer have such a big advantage. Because the road on the hillside is really narrow, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to perform their duties. Even the originally neat formation has become messy due to the terrain.
The fighting between the two sides reached a stalemate. The two sides fought back and forth for a long time. The officers and soldiers failed to rush up the hillside successfully. Many people on both sides were killed in the battle, and the blood quickly stained the hillside red.
At this time, the voice of Ming Jin suddenly came from behind the officers and soldiers. It turned out that it was Chen Zhi who saw that the attack could not be taken for a long time and it was getting late, so he gave the order to withdraw the troops.
After hearing the order from the rear, the officers and soldiers acted in a tacit understanding, alternating with each other. Some people were responsible for blocking the bandits' pursuit, while others got rid of the bandits around them and retreated to the rear. The bandits, however, did not rush down the hillside to pursue the enemy because they had received orders from leaders at all levels.
It didn't take long for thousands of officers and soldiers to retreat like a tide. The battlefield that had been fighting fiercely for most of the day finally returned to peace.
"Master, the officers and soldiers have sent people to the battlefield to bring back their wounded and wounded soldiers. I hope we will not take the opportunity to attack." A bandit ran over and said to Ye Ying.
"You tell them that I agree, but we have our word first. Neither side can attack the personnel cleaning the battlefield, nor can they attack the injured personnel of the other side on the battlefield." Ye Ying agreed to the requests of the officers and soldiers without much thought.
In this way, both sides quickly sent out manpower to bring back their comrades who had been killed or wounded on the battlefield.
"Master, the statistics are out. We have killed more than 400 brothers in this battle, and about 500 brothers have to withdraw from tomorrow's battle due to injuries. Although we cannot accurately calculate the number of casualties among officers and soldiers, we can be sure that Their casualties are almost half of ours." After clearing the battlefield, Ge Yuncai frowned and reported to Ye Ying.
Hearing this situation, Ye Ying's mood became a little heavy. In today's battle, Feiying would have lost. If it weren't for the advantage of the terrain, the officers and soldiers might even rush to Fuhu Mountain.
On just the first day of the war, the Flying Eagle Association's combat casualties were close to 10%. Even important leaders like Gui Sanniang who were in charge of a battalion were arrested by officers and soldiers. This was indeed a headache.
"There is actually no way to rescue Gui Sanniang. It depends on whether you dare, the master?" Seeing Ye Ying's frowning face, Zhuge Ying said from the side.
Hearing that Ye Ying personally brought people to the camp gate, Chen Zhi and Hu Huaizhi looked at each other and smiled. They did not expect that this young man was also a courageous person and dared to break into the enemy camp alone like himself.
"Come here, capture these bandits for me." As soon as Chen Zhi appeared at the door of the camp, he gave the order to the soldiers with a dark face.
After hearing Chen Zhi's order, a group of soldiers behind him immediately took action and rushed towards Ye Ying, as well as Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi who had been following Ye Ying.
"General Chen, don't scare me. I'm very timid." Seeing Chen Zhi's appearance, Ye Ying immediately understood that his idea was to give himself a blow.
"Your brother is indeed very courageous. I knew this would not scare you." Seeing Ye Ying's fake fear, Chen Zhi suddenly grinned.
"That day, General Chen said that the food in your camp is much better than that in my village. Today I shamelessly came here to ask for a delicious meal from General Chen." At this time, Ye Ying also said with a smile.
Ye Ying stayed in Chen Zhi's camp for nearly an hour. During this period, except for some soldiers who brought in food, no one else came in. Therefore, no one knows what the two commanders-in-chief said in the camp.
What's strange is that the three guards brought by Ye Ying actually quickly started chatting enthusiastically with the officers and soldiers. It was from the mouths of these bandits that the officers and soldiers learned about it. Ningyuan General Chen Zhi was actually an old friend of the bandit leader, and he was a close friend for many years.
This situation made the officers and soldiers of the Songzhou Army become curious about Ye Ying. They wanted to see what was so special about the bandit leader who was so praised by Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi.
Ye Ying and the others left the Songzhou Army Camp with satisfied expressions. In order to avoid any accidents, Chen Zhi personally led troops to escort Ye Ying and the others for a period.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning came, and the two sides took up positions at the foot of Fuhu Mountain, preparing for another battle.
However, before the war started that morning, the two sides also conducted a prisoner exchange ceremony. Each side exchanged those who captured the other side. Even Gui Sanniang, the leader of the Flying Eagle Society, was sent back.
At this time, almost everyone could guess that the reason why both parties did this must have been agreed upon by Ye Ying and Chen Zhi during their meeting last night.
However, the two sides did not close the distance because of the exchange of prisoners. Next, both the bandits and the officers and soldiers quickly began to arrange their troops and prepare for a new round of fierce battle.
