At daybreak, the officers and soldiers had burst the embankment and collapsed. Thousands of people abandoned their helmets and armor, fled from the camp, and hurriedly walked eastward along the way they came yesterday.

And this caught everyone off guard.

It goes without saying that Zhao Xingmi could still maintain his position with the officers and soldiers, but the army below collapsed inexplicably, and he was immediately chased and beaten by Wu Changzai. How could Wu Changzai spare him the temperament of Wu Changzai, a crazy martial artist? And the enemy had just broken into the enemy.

The military cavalry of the battalion were even trapped in the camp and had no time to gather their troops to pursue them from the open areas outside.

This made Liu Heicheng, who entered the camp the fastest and most deeply, cursed his mother angrily.

At the same time, Zhang Xing and others on the north bank of Bian River were dumbfounded and at a loss when they heard the news from the front.

Even Xu Shiying, who had previously mentioned several victories and several defeats, and pointed out that the grassroots soldiers of the Jiangdu-Xuzhou army were more likely to collapse in such extreme weather, was a little panicked at this time.

How could he, Xu Dalang, know that those masters of condensation who had escaped the influence of the weather were the first to retreat?

After regaining consciousness, Xu Shiying came to find Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the bank and blowing the river breeze, and said sincerely: "Chief! Don't underestimate the heroes of the world just because you won the battle! They were crushed by the weather.

, it’s not our ability!”

"I know." Zhang Xing came back to his senses and sat there to answer seriously. "I know."

Xu Dalang relaxed a little.

Then Zhang Xing came and asked, "What should we do next?"

He really didn't know what to do.

Xu Shiying was also speechless for a moment.

"Let the troops on the south bank wear armor and attack, immediately intercept and outflank the enemy, and help pursue the enemy. Then we will not cross the river here, and go directly to the Xiaoxian city along the river!" At this time, it turned out to be someone who usually seemed to be lacking in military affairs.

Wu Jingfeng gave an answer from afar. "It's already dawn, and Xiaoxian County is close to the river. By then, the city will definitely be able to see the situation on the south bank. If we press forward, we may not be able to make the city bold and drive them out directly.

!”

Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, but he did not respond directly.

Xu Shiying did not respond directly to Wu Dalang, but spoke to Zhang Xing: "The county seat of Xiao County is too close to Pengcheng, and there are also four thousand soldiers and two generals, one of whom is Ningdan..."

"Of course, Fan Chao, and Wei Zhongze, who has a poor cultivation level." Wu Jingfeng walked up to him as he spoke. He obviously couldn't suppress his excitement, but he seemed to be talking only to Zhang Xing. "But then

So what? Haven’t Zhang Sanlang seen it yet? Not only the soldiers below, but also these Guanlong disciples have no hope, and their minds have been worn out by that emperor!"

Xu Shiying was about to speak but stopped.

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "You can indeed try to go to Xiao County, but you can't want everything. You must leave military room. Sima Zheng may not have received the message at this time."

Xu Shiying nodded immediately.

Wu Dalang thought for a moment, suppressed his emotions, and continued to ask: "Then what should the chief do?"

"It's very simple. First, you can chase, but the pursuit must be limited. Xiao County is the boundary. Once you get to Xiao County, the infantry is not allowed to pursue. The first wave of soldiers and horses led by Shan Tonghai must stop.

Rest on the ground, only allow the cavalry to continue to expand the results, and the third wave of troops on the other side should not attack without authorization; secondly, you can try Xiao County, but the troop input must be limited. Unless Sima Zheng moves, otherwise our last wave

The soldiers of the third battalion must not be moved. Just let Jia Yue and the others, the third wave of soldiers, come back and take charge of attacking Xiao County..." Zhang Xing gave his own plan. "Are there any questions?

No problem, I’ll give the order.”

Although Wu Jingfeng was a little dissatisfied with the opponent's conservatism, he was helpless at this moment and could only nod his head and said, "Just go and fight if you can."

Zhang Xing nodded.

The military order was issued, and the troops on both sides of the Bian River began to take advantage of the short and comfortable environment in the early morning to move. Seeing Wu Dalang going to the other side to conduct reconnaissance in person, Xu Shiying caught up with him and couldn't help but take the opportunity to whisper on his horse: "Chief

, don’t listen to Wu Jingfeng, he only sees revenge, which is not the same as ours, our gang is just a borrowed sword in their eyes..."

Zhang Xing was helpless and immediately responded to Huang Piao in a low voice: "Don't say such disunity... Besides, the battle is going so smoothly. If we stop our actions at this time, Sima Zheng will definitely notice our weakness."

Fortunately, going to Xiao County is always closer to the direction of Daying, which is better than tossing around in other places."

When Xu Shiying saw that the other party was clear, he felt relieved and just shut up and went to the rear.

Bai Yousi stood aside, watching the other party leave, and was puzzled for a moment: "He said this, but he didn't avoid me?"

"If there is anything to avoid, he just talks about it and expresses his attitude." Zhang Xing explained in a low voice. "Similarly, if Wu Dalang is close, he can also talk about it. It's just a person like Xu Dalang who insists on keeping the household."

Dog, you only joined the gang to protect yourself, you can't risk your life to do big things, especially after you have just dealt with this guy so seriously, you must have resentment in your heart, so don't listen to Xu Dalang..."

Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment and sighed rarely, because she understood her husband's subtext or what he didn't say.

That is, these two people have problems, even big ones, but they also have strengths - Wu Jingfeng's cultivation is top-notch below that of a grandmaster, not to mention Xu Dalang, who was severely beaten by the powerful and powerful faction.

Even once, it doesn't matter that he is one of the top talents in the gang.

As for my husband, the chief executive, even when he was the leader, he actually did one thing, which was to take these strange people, whether they were a mob or heroes, to draw on their strong points, compensate for their shortcomings, coerce and induce them, and win them over.

, use various methods to bring them together into one, and use force in one direction.

To put it nicely, this is called gathering the power of heroes to accomplish great things.

To put it bluntly, it's like trying to repair a broken donkey cart so that it doesn't fall apart, and then helping the donkey to move forward on the muddy road, staring at the scorching sun, wind and frost.

As soon as the thought came to this point, Bai Yousi couldn't help but start thinking.

Besides, since she came to the Gang, experienced the Battle of Lishan, realized that this was Zhang Xing's home field, coupled with her cultivation needs and the serious study of civil affairs and military affairs in Dengzhou, she has rarely expressed her initiative.

situation.

At least this is the case regarding personnel and organizational issues within the gang.

But having said that, no matter how talented she is, given her age and having put so much effort into other areas, she naturally has her own weaknesses, otherwise why would she hide her skills here?

Therefore, even though they get together less and apart more often, the two of them often talk more when they are together. Many times it is about communication on personnel and political strategies, or in other words, observing and learning from Zhang Xing.

To be honest, in the past, Bai Sanniang could have ignored these trivial matters, but if she really had to deal with them, according to her sharp temperament, she would often cut them off with a sword (literally).

After the Dusanzheng, she saw that the world was in chaos, especially after experiencing the Northern Shanxi Incident, but she knew to some extent that she would not be able to escape these things.

I just never thought at the time that it would be so difficult.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sanlang." Bai Yousi said inexplicably.

Zhang Sanlang was slightly startled but didn't say much.

When the time came in the morning, six battalions with nearly 10,000 troops on both sides of the Bianshui River slowly marched eastward. On the way, they watched the imperial troops and horses rushing from the side and rear, and then roared again when they saw the soldiers and horses here.

He walked south, but was chased back from the south by the cavalry who were overtaking him, so he could only run straight east.

This process seems absurd and ridiculous, but in fact it is bloody and terrifying.

Although there was no problem with the scorching heat in the early morning, it was true that he abandoned his armor and fled for his life in a panic, especially with the army hot on his heels. There was no telling how many lives were behind the words "expanding the results of the battle."

It was only a few miles away from Xiao County, and across the semi-dry crop fields, the city head could be seen in the distance. Zhang Xing took his eyes away from a Wei County soldier who fled into Bianshui in a panic, and looked ahead:

"Who is the guard of Xiao County? Are they still the same people?"

"It should not have moved, Fan Chao, Wei Zhongze, the son of two ministers, General Ying Yanglang, Fan Chao is a Ning Dan, and Wei Zhongze is just an ordinary Qijing practitioner." Xu Shiying said many family treasures. "Just look at Chief Jia.

Can they succeed this time? If they can't be scared away... Sima Zheng must have received the message at this moment, and Pengcheng is only thirty or forty miles away from Xiao County. If he wants to come to support, he will arrive soon."

Zhang Xing nodded and looked at Bianshui beside him again.

It turned out that in just a moment, as Jia Yue, Wang Xiongdan, and Tang Bairen majestically crossed the Bianshui River full of shoals, and then pointed at the county seat of Xiao County, more and more fleeing officers and soldiers on the other side of the river were supposed to go to the river.

He came over and was forced into Bianshui by the light cavalry of Liu Heifan, Fan Bao and others.

However, the shoal, which is easily passable for organized troops, is a death place for these officers and soldiers who fled until they were out of breath. Many people plunged in with armor and could not get up.

Some people happened to step into the shoal. There were troops on both sides of the bank, and there was deep water in front and behind. They could not move forward or retreat, but they knelt down and cried hoarsely in the shallow water. When the defeated soldiers saw this scene, they took off their clothes from a distance, but fell.

He went into deep water, spun around, and still floated up and down with the waves, wailing and asking for help.

Zhang Xing watched for a while and then suddenly gave an order: "Immediately wait until the large pursuing troops on the other side pass by, then gather up the officers and soldiers and rescue those who fell into the water."

"Chief, you can't see this place from the city. If you hope to use this to attack your heart, I'm afraid it's useless." Xu Shiying was confused. "Besides, this is a battlefield. If you die, you will die..."

"We've already reached this point, and if we wait for the cavalry to leave immediately, what kind of battlefield is it?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "Besides, I'm not just out of kindness. I rescue when I need to, and kill when I need to kill after the war. I resist.

Kill them on the spot..."

"Isn't that more important?" Xu Shiying was speechless.

"One code, one code. Don't develop the habit of killing indiscriminately and brutally in the troops. You must behave like a person, and you must kill according to the rules." Zhang Xing became more and more impatient. "It is said that you drink from a golden cup together, and you can add it with a bare blade. If you don't

That's why you died in Dong County last month!"

Xu Shiying shivered...I don't know if he was pretending...but he turned around and gave the order.

Next to him, Wu Jingfeng wanted to come and ask for a fight, and went to Xiao County to participate in the destruction of the city. When he saw this scene, he did not dare to say anything.

Zhang Xing, on the other hand, finally turned around and continued to look at the county seat of Xiao County. Then he asked Bai Yousi and Wu Jingfeng seriously: "Fan Chao and Wei Zhongze are both the sons of the minister, why don't I remember them?"

"They are all dead." Wu Jingfeng answered quickly, acting as if nothing happened. "Shang Shu Fan died of illness, and Shangshu Wei died at the hands of the Wu clan during the siege of Yun Nei..."

Zhang Xing suddenly realized that Wei Zhongze's father was in charge of the city defense during the siege of Yunnei. Afterwards, he committed suicide to pursue Wei Chi, the minister who died for his country as a remonstrance.

"The thieves' army is strong, let's retreat too!" Just three or four miles east of Zhang Xingzheng, in the west gate building of Xiaoxian County, Fan Chao, the only master of Dan Ning and above and the actual commander, looked away from the spy window and turned around.

He sat down and then spoke to a person in the room who was dressed similarly to himself. "We just went to see the south of the city together. If it fails like that, Sima Shida must have run away. Sima Zheng can't deal with his third uncle, so why should he deal with us?"

Standing in the shadow diagonally across from Fan Chao is Wei Zhongze. This man is already in his mid-thirties, the golden age for a general. However, he is not very advanced in cultivation. He only heard this from the shadows.

He walked out and argued seriously: "We are here because we are here, so why should we care about what others do?"
