Zang Ba, who was garrisoning troops and watching, suddenly saw the smoke rising from the opposite slope and felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the powerful Taishan soldiers who were approaching Zang Ba suddenly accelerated.
Zang Ba secretly shouted that it was not good and immediately ordered the commander to beat the drum.
When the front line heard the sound of drums, they immediately fired arrows at the powerful Taishan soldiers approaching, but the sparse arrow rain could not stop the powerful soldiers from rushing forward.
Under the charge of several leading warriors, the opponent directly collided with the two formations of swordsmen in the first row.
Zang Ba was furious when he saw this on his horse, and immediately ordered his guards to fetch Wang Dang who had just left. He wanted to ask him carefully, hadn't Feng Gao's powerful soldiers made an appointment with him to jointly attack the Taishan bandits? Why did he turn around and attack him now?
After a moment, the guards reported back, and Wang Dang ran away and ran towards the Yilu bandit formation behind the formation.
Zang Ba took out a command arrow from his cassock and asked the guard to take the command arrow and rush towards the Yilu bandits in the rear formation, killing them without mercy.
The guards have received the order arrows and responded.
After that, Zang Ba stopped caring about this matter and focused all his attention on the fighting in the front line.
As the front arrow leaders of their own front arrow formation, the two swordsmen were originally the daredevils of Langya Mountain. Although they were being beaten back by the opponent, they still maintained the formation, but it was also very dangerous.
But when I turned to Zhang Chong, I saw another face.
Zhang Chong saw that Dong Fan and other seven generals had already sent their troops to attack the large formation on the opposite side. But after all, they were newly attached. Even though Dong Fan and others fought to the death, their troops were still timid, and many people were fighting to death.
Fight, fool around.
Zhang Chong shook his head. He had no intention of expecting these new auxiliary troops to break the formation. He turned to look at Dian Wei, who was as strong as a bear, and said with a smile:
"Dianjun, do you dare to lead my collision team into the battle?"
Dian Wei didn't squint his eyes and only replied:
"I dare to die if I don't obey."
Then Dian Wei wore three layers of armor and carried two halberds. He held the Huanshou Dao in his right hand and a big spear in his left hand, and led fifty men with large axes to rush to the front of the formation.
At this moment, the two generals Dong Fang and Guo Mo were taking the lead, charging and killing in front of the formation.
Dong Fang held a ring-headed knife in each hand and stabbed the Langya thief casually. He used the knife in his left hand to block the knife in front of him, and stabbed the opponent to death with the knife in his right hand.
Someone came to help from the opposite side, so he blocked it with his iron armor, then crossed his swords with each other. When the two swords crossed, a huge head flew out.
Over there, Guo Mo didn't hesitate to give in. He used an iron spear and danced left and right. Every time the iron spear hit him, the muscles and bones of the opponent would collapse.
However, no matter how brave Dong Fan and Guo Mo were, it was of no avail, because the troops behind him had no fighting spirit. Even if a gap was opened in front, those troops were still stuck in place, waving their weapons randomly with the Langya thieves, with no intention of advancing.
Not only that, the bravery of Dong Fang and Guo Mo attracted the attention of the Langya thief generals behind the formation, and several green-headed young generals had begun to surround and kill them. At this moment, the armor-clad generals of Dong Fang and Guo Mo
It had been chopped several times.
At this moment, Dian Wei came to kill him.
How brave Dian Wei is, people who have never fought with him can't feel it at all, and those who feel it are already dead.
At this moment, he has a shield on his left and a sword on his right. Anyone who blocks him will be smashed by the blade. The two generals behind Dian Wei are Cai Que and Guo Zu. One is an iron beast and the other is a fierce wolf. They use flying axes to smash them. There is no one at all.
The enemy of unity.
At that moment, with the three generals as the vanguard, the entire collision team rushed in. Dong Fang and Guo Mo on one side immediately drove their troops to rush in through the gap.
Suddenly, Zang Ba's front line collapsed.
The five formations of Langya soldiers on the second level immediately became commotion when they saw the front formation collapsing so quickly. However, Jia Yong stepped forward and held back the formation again.
On Zhang Chong's side, just when the first wave of soldiers he sent was exhausted, the second wave of soldiers from Li Damu and Ding Sheng came over and ran into the second line of Langya soldiers.
This is Zhang Chong's new tactic, three fierce continuous battles.
It means to fight fiercely, charge fiercely, and chase fiercely. The combat group is divided into four sequences: trap, charge, assault, and reserve. The first three groups have to alternately attack the enemy's formation and attack fiercely. The trapped group only needs to break the formation and the charging group
You need to charge from within the formation. Once you encounter an enemy formation to fill a gap, you have to join the assault team to counterattack.
In short, it is necessary to continuously attack the enemy formations alternately like a storm. As for the last column, which is the reserve, it is to provide support for the first three columns when they want to retreat.
It can be said that Zhang Chong's alternating rounds of fighting maximized his advantage in elite troops. Often the enemy soldiers in the front row had to endure at least three rounds of high-intensity fighting on our side without rest.
The front line of the enemy's rear formation was full of physical strength, but they were unable to move forward because the front line was blocking them. This was a huge gap in tactics, which allowed Zhang Chong's troops to form an absolute advantage in attacking locally.
Sure enough, after a long battle, the Langya bandit's second wave of troops retreated steadily, and the selected forwards in the back row could only be forced to retreat continuously by those in front.
Under the banner, Zang Ba was extremely anxious. He really didn't expect that this Taishan soldier could fight to this point.
His central guard troops on the side saw that the formation was retreating steadily. They were so anxious that they surrendered and asked Zang Ba to fight.
Zang Ba said sadly:
"You and Cao have been trained by my father and son, and they are all worthy of a hundred, so that they can prepare themselves for each other and share the same fate. I would rather not capture the Taishan thieves, but how can I bear to drive you and Cao to risk their lives and cross the path of death?"
When his guard heard this, he cried:
"A gentleman dies for a confidant. It is precisely because we have been nurtured by his father and son. Now that our army is in danger and the army is about to collapse, this is the time for us to use our lives. Give the order, he."
After saying this, the central guard kowtows and weeps.
Zang Bahu had tears in his eyes. He watched the five formations in the second column retreating steadily, but he did not make up his mind to push his most elite guards forward.
To him, it doesn't matter if he kills all the two thousand old thieves. As long as he has these two hundred guards, he can still raise another Langya soldier.
He looked at the military formations on the left and right. At this time, Wu Dun had already marched to the left of the Taishan bandit formation, but he did not know whether he had not received the order or was timid and was holding back on patrol.
The skirmishers of the two Sun brothers standing on the slope on the left were only waving flags and shouting, with no intention of flanking the Taishan bandits.
Zang Ba couldn't stand it any longer and began to wave the flag and mobilize his troops on both sides.
The Sun brothers responded to the flag, and then they gathered together and started to rush down the slope. However, a rain of arrows was fired from the Taishan bandits, and the Sun brothers' mountain liao fell like wheat, and then all their courage was lost.
, and then collapsed back to the north of the slope at a faster speed.
But Wu Dun over there didn't respond to the flag at all, and remained stationary. Zang Ba was so angry that he yelled:
"Wu Dun, Wu Dun, wouldn't it be appropriate for you to just call me Wu Dan?"
At this time, a third wave of sharp soldiers charged into the opposite formation. Their morale was high and their fighting equipment was excellent. After only a moment of fighting, Zang Ba saw that the five formations in his middle row were directly overwhelmed, and the entire front was overwhelmed.
was divided.
Zang Ba waved the military flag and mobilized the final preparations, that is, the Yilu Mountain soldiers who had not participated in the battle from beginning to end. However, he waved it more than ten times, but there was no reaction at all.
What's bad now is that the Yilu Shanliao army has two thousand soldiers, and they are full of physical strength. If they stop fighting, Zang Ba will destroy all his wealth in one battle.
He was worried that these people were timid and he wanted to pull them over, so he no longer hesitated and rushed to the Yilu Mountain House in front of everyone.
Zang Ba promised them in front of the battle that the Yilu Shanliao people would get half of what they captured in this battle, and the other prisoners would be inspected first after the war.
The opponent was still silent. Just as Zang Ba was fussing, more than a dozen human heads were suddenly thrown out, strung up in buns.
Also coming out at the same time were the guards he had just sent to deliver orders to the rear. At this moment, both of his ears were cut off, and he ran back to Zang Ba's horse with a bloody face, crying:
"Qu, those Yilu Mountain rebels have rebelled. They are not bandits at all, but the Taiping Road of Qi State. The other side asked me to deliver a message, telling him to kneel down and surrender. He said that you are being pinched from both sides now. If you don't surrender, you will die without a burial.
place."
Zang Ba was completely dizzy. How could the Taiping Taoists of Qi be disguised as Yilu Mountain bandits? Why would the Taiping Taoists of Qi help the Taishan bandits? Too many questions flooded into Zang Ba's mind.
.
He calmed down his mind, turned his horse's head, and ignored the guards who were kneeling and crying, and galloped into the formation. He wanted to withdraw the army and make it impossible to fight.
That's right, all of this was Zhang Chong's plan.
Although the last internal remonstrance had stirred up troops, it had inadvertently expanded his connections and influence in Qingzhou Road. He clearly stood on the side of the masses of the people and directly gained the friendship of Qu Shuai, the elite faction of Qingzhou Road.
For example, Sima Ju of Qi State changed his view on Zhang Chong, and finally brought the two families closer together. Maybe Sima Ju's words were polite, but Zhang Chong took it seriously.
This time when the Langya bandits came, he immediately thought of it, but he didn't know where Sima Ju was, so he asked Xu He from Le'an County to be the intermediary and sent a letter to Sima Ju.
In the letter, Zhang Chong not only expressed the ideal of Qingzhou's Taiping Road to clean up the world, but also said that the two families should work together as one, and thought that they would be together. Later, he talked about the Langya bandits coming, and asked Sima Ju to command the followers of Qi to cross Mount Lu and pretend to be bandits to join Zang Ba's army.
.At that time, three rays of smoke will be used as a signal to attack unexpectedly and unexpectedly. Of course, at the end, Zhang Chong said something more practical. When Qi State participated in the battle at Taiping Road, Zang Ba's army would get half of what they captured, and the prisoners would be replenished first.
Coincidentally, the conditions were the same as Zang Bagan’s promise before the battle.
At this moment, Sima Ju, the commander-in-chief of Taiping Road in Qi State, was in the formation. He and Wang Dang, who fled into the formation beside him, sighed:
"Are all your Qu Kui generals so good at fighting?"
Wang Dang himself surrendered in front of the battle. He had not even been Zhang Chong's soldier for a day, but if it was about whether Zhang Chong's Taishan soldiers could fight? Then he had a great say. After all, he had been defeated twice.
Wang Dang respectfully said to Sima Ju:
"Back to Commander Sima Qu, our Taishan soldiers are brave enough to die, and there are many warriors working hard. What's more important is that our troops are unparalleled. Everything we calculate is hit, and everything we attack is defeated. So we can fight."
Sima Ju stopped brooding and stopped talking.
He looked at the flying banner with the word "Chong" in the north and murmured:
"It seems that my teaching Huang Tian is really promising."
Over there, under the banner with the character "Chong", He Kui, the counselor and counselor accompanying the army, looked at the banner with the character "Zang" on the opposite side slowly moving to the left, and quickly leaned over and said:
"Qu, that Zang Ba is probably going to run away."
Zhang Chong laughed loudly:
"He Jun, we will definitely rescue your wife, children and clan members. Don't worry, this Zang Ba can't escape."
At this moment, voices began to come to mind one after another in the battlefield:
"The enemy general will be killed by me, Dian Wei."
"The enemy general will be killed by me, Guo Song."
…
Suddenly, more than a dozen generals were killed, more than a dozen flags fell, and Zang Ba's entire army collapsed.
