There was a whole team there, about one to two hundred crossbowmen, who were following other friendly troops in a daze to find a rendezvous point.

Their steps were hesitant and their directions were confused. The crossbows were carried on their backs but had not been opened.

It is obvious that no matter what the reason is, whether it is simply caught off guard, or whether it is not seen or expected, this force that is actually the most threatening to the vanguard of the Deposed Dragon Army, which has mixed good and bad, has not been attacked at all.

Protect and dispatch... On the contrary, they were exposed on the flanks and defenseless.

Zhang Xing suppressed his racing heart, thought for a few breaths, turned around, reined in his horse, and spoke loudly behind him, but did not mention the crossbowmen at all:

"Everyone! The overall strength of the enemy and ours is similar. At this time, due to the sudden fall of Yucheng, both sides collided head-on and were caught off guard. Logically speaking, it seems that no one can do anything to the other... But have you ever thought about it?

We actually have two huge advantages at this time.

"First, both sides have been marching for a whole day, and they are all very tired. However, the enemy is pursuing them in armor and fighting early in the morning. They are more tired and harder to sustain than us. We have just tested this so-called external force but the middle force!

"Second, it is the Supreme Blessing. We have just crossed the river, so the whole army is organized, right on the edge of the Bian River. However, the enemy is chasing on the plains, and the troops are out of touch!

"At this time, if everyone is willing to listen to my orders, move forward with me, and hold on to the spirit of facing difficulties as before, you will definitely be able to catch them off guard and make them fall back layer by layer!

Then let us hunt down the two counties in turn!"

After saying these words, without waiting for the pale-faced people to respond or ask questions, Zhang Xing hurriedly called out to someone again: "Yan Qing!"

Yan Qing, who had just killed a person and was probably the first to kill on the battlefield, came up to the horse with a red face and panting heavily. The tip of the spear in his hand was still dripping with blood: "Third Brother's orders!"

"You go back immediately."

Zhang Xing gave the order in public. "Go tell Xu Shiying what I just said, and then tell him that Ma Hu is right in front of him. I will attack first and delay the weakening for him, so that he can do his best to prepare his troops. As long as he prepares a thousand troops,

Send it over immediately! Prepare another thousand men, and send it over again! If the front team is not fighting when the rear team is picked up, the rear team will march immediately, and so on, as long as he can send out all the troops before dark

Come out and you will win this battle! Repeat it now!"

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, obviously digesting the meaning of the military order, and then immediately replied: "I understand, there are a thousand soldiers, send a thousand soldiers, one after another, the front team retreats, and the rear team can practice military law!"

Zhang Xing nodded, and Yan Qing immediately threw the spear to the people next to him, grabbed the reins with both hands and struggled to hold the war horse and ran towards the north bank of Bianshui River.

As soon as the people left, Zhang Xing didn't care about the expressions of the others, and struck Jia Yue and Zhang Jinshu with his machete again: "Boss Jia, leader Zhang, the troops have been gathered in a hurry. There is no special military law force, but you two have to take responsibility...

...Just look at it from the end of the team, if anyone escapes from the battle, he will be killed directly."

Jia Yue's face was expressionless, and Zhang Jinshu's face turned blue, but they both nodded.

To put it bluntly, this is a powerful team in disguise. At least more than half of the people in it have no cultivation level. Those who have cultivation level are not very general, and most of them are people who later joined the gang and do not have much fighting spirit.

Yes, it was temporarily instigated.

It is not that there are no real reliable high-end combat forces in the gang, but most of them are serving as officers to organize the army at the back.

Zhang Xing turned around, suppressed the panic in his heart, and forced himself to scan the dozens of horses with his gaze at the level of the other people's eyes. Then without saying a word, he turned around again and lifted his horse forward.

This time, on the side of the scimitar, the ice energy poured out continuously in advance, stirring up an obvious white water vapor on the central plain in the evening at the turn of spring and summer, just like a small mist artificially formed.

Those with cultivation levels woke up one after another and used their true energy. After connecting with Zhang Dalongtou’s true energy, their hearts instantly became calm. Those without any cultivation level also realized something and looked at the slaying general just now.

After the leader Jia, they all went into the mist.

Immediately, dozens of cavalry wrapped in fog broke away from the infantry and the "deposed" flag, directly increased their speed, and directly "thrown away" the fog. Then, without waiting for reinforcements, they headed towards the west of the official formation in front.

Cut it straight.

There was by no means a particularly weak point there. In fact, after the conspicuous mist of the Dragon Army moved, the captain of the official army noticed the opponent's purpose. A large group of crossbowmen should not be too obvious.

"Aren't they forming a formation? Why don't you just come and get me?" Ma Hu, who is in his thirties, has a majestic body and a rough face. He just looked at the horse for a moment and suddenly asked someone beside him.

Captain. "Why are you pointing at the crossbowman?"

"They don't have a stomach." The officer who escaped from the front was stunned and immediately replied. "They were probably afraid of the steel crossbows, so they went to meet the crossbowmen first."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" A captain next to him couldn't understand at all. "How could they not have a stomach? The thieves in the entire Eastern Region are the most in need of armor and stomach weapons! The Deposed Dragon Gang will not be short of them!"

"I don't know." The general who escaped back swallowed his saliva. "But there aren't many of them wearing armor... there are dozens of cavalry and basically few of them are wearing armor."

Ma Hu ignored the arguments among the lower-ranking officers under his command, and just looked coldly at the cavalry with a mist floating around, and the true energy faintly emerging, like a formation.

The reason for this was that it was too late in the first place. When he listened to the officer describing the opponent's strong combat power, he immediately thought of the rumors about the deposed Dragon Gang Zhang Xing and when he robbed the queen. He instinctively thought that he had the cultivation of Dan Condensation.

Zhang Xing brought all the high-end combat power of the Deposed Dragon Gang to provoke him, so he didn't even notice that a crossbow soldier who was not affiliated with him was standing beside him.

Secondly, according to his understanding, it was possible if there was no Jiawei, that is, all members were practitioners, and according to the intelligence, the Deposed Dragon Gang also had this strength, and if that was the case, he would try his best to hold on.

, give up the pursuit, stick to waiting for reinforcements, and wait for the response... But now, the other party actually comes up to hunt the crossbowmen, and seems to be afraid of these crossbowmen. This does not look like a serious gathering of high-end combat forces.

The cavalry formed a formation.

This made him a little confused.

Just as he was thinking about it, following the guidance of the flag, the cavalry suddenly accelerated, and with a large stream of gray-white energy visible to the naked eye, they rushed straight into the messy crossbow hands, just like a real heavy cavalry carving an array... And the crossbowmen

After reacting, several people actually successfully released their crossbows and successfully shot two knights to the ground. This seemed to indicate that their cultivation masters were not very good... but that was all. Next, Pingyuan

Above, everyone could see that the cavalry charge caused a penetrating collapse of the formation on the west side, and the crossbowmen dispersed without any trouble, triggering a melee pursuit at all costs.

This seems to confirm something.

Ma Hu put away his unnecessary thoughts, immediately turned around, and ordered the surrounding troops to move closer to him. Then he looked at several subordinates as a matter of course: "You guys split up and go to the back to find other people. Let's depose the leader of the Dragon Gang."

Relying on his cultivation, Zhang Laosan led the elite of the cavalry gang of seventy or eighty, and used his true energy to form a formation to support the defeated soldiers. I, Lao Ma, chased for a whole day. I was too tired and dared not move anymore... let them

Come and save me, the head of the family."

"I don't think everyone in there has the cultivation level..." One of the team generals seemed to want to express his opinion, so he tried to remind him. "If seventy or eighty knights really had the cultivation level, they would have been knocked away just now."

Now...we also have cavalry, we can try to pinch them."

"Everyone is so tired, are you sure?" the captain on the other side scolded sternly. "You weren't the one who just leaked the information about the stomach? Where is the class law in the military?"

Ma Hu just twisted his beard and sneered.

The captain, knowing Ma Hu's temper, felt cold and immediately shut up and set off with the others.

Just like this, here in Ma Hu, the officers were constantly calculating, with different ideas and different cognitions. But what these court officers did not realize from the beginning to the end was how insignificant the real strength of the seventy or eighty forward cavalry was.

The meaning, no matter how clearly they distinguish it, is meaningless. A key problem is that the main force of the Dragon Army is actually four miles away.

And they rushed forward because of the few seventy or eighty riders, because there were many core members of the Deposed Dragon Gang, because many of them were in white, because of the big flag, because of the half-true and half-false energy, and because

This striker was too decisive in charging and attacking and fell into confusion.

Their attention, doubts, and conjectures were all focused on these few dozen horses, and then they gave up advancing and conducting forward reconnaissance.

Of course, two quarters of an hour later, under the setting sun, Ma Hu and his subordinates no longer had to be confused. Because just as General Ma frowned and looked at the so-called elite knights of the Deposed Dragon Gang, it became more and more obvious that they

Due to the lack of strength, although there were not many casualties, there were constant casualties, so that when I started to hesitate whether to try the armored cavalry to form a pocket formation, intensive war drums suddenly sounded from the north.

He followed the sound and saw smoke and dust billowing under the setting sun, and then he began to panic instinctively.

A moment later, the white-clothed cavalry of the Deposed Dragon Gang regrouped on the flanks. Under their watchful eyes, a well-equipped infantry brigade appeared in the smoke and dust on the horizon, with flags, armor, stomach and golden drums all in place.

The officers and soldiers chose to flee.

As a result, Ma Hu didn't even move. He just raised his hand and pointed, and the armored cavalry guards caught up with them and killed them behind the formation. Then, the vanguard Zhonglang general announced in public without any hurry:

"To retreat at this time is to seek death! The only way to survive is to wait here with me, Lao Ma, for backup! And backup will be here soon! There are people like this who retreat without permission!"

Zhang Xing, who had blood all over his body, looked at this scene from a distance. Although he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, he could guess what he was saying, so he sighed, and then turned back to find the person with a smile on his face:

"Where is that good guy just now? Can you kill him for me?"

There were only sixty or seventy knights left, and no one answered.

Zhang Xing realized something, nodded, threw down the machete that was already full of pits on Huang Qiao's horse, took the Jinglong Sword and said with a smile: "That's it! I will do it this time! You all will be my queen!"

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ping'er jumped out of the horse and shouted first. Wang Xiongdan followed closely behind. Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, and immediately raised his horse to catch up. The sixty or seventy riders behind him did not hesitate and launched another attack.

It's a direct attack on Ma Hu's banner.
