After fighting for so long, Zhang Chong was now a little dizzy. He knew this was the result of strenuous exercise without breakfast.
After all, he lacked battle experience and did not know that one of the taboos in sending troops was the allusion of "destroy this imperial food".
However, fortunately, they quickly defeated the right formation and occupied the Sandao Ridge position, where they could repair and fight again. Otherwise, they would be hungry and be in danger if the enemy on the left took advantage of the opportunity.
So what are the enemy troops on the left hillside doing at this time?
When Zhang Chong's troops broke out of the wall, the Lei Ze water bandits on the left slope were nervous for a while, but when they saw them attacking the powerful soldiers on the right, everyone watched and no one wanted to go.
Those who died were powerful soldiers. What does it have to do with us water pirates? Besides, let those people consume General Shi's energy, and they would just reap the benefits.
But what happened next shocked the whole audience.
Who is this? He is so brave.
One man and one horse, running wild and unbridled, killing the general and seizing the flag actually happened in front of their eyes. Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the "Zhong" flag slowly falling.
Breathless and silent.
It was the leader named Xigou who saw that everyone had been deprived of their energy. In order to boost morale, he tried his best to say:
"I know about Zhong's soldiers. They are weak and weak and are not worth mentioning, so that man is nothing."
After his reminder, the two thieves next to him also responded tremblingly:
"That's right, being able to defeat Zhong's soldiers is nothing, even a small dog can defeat a small dog."
Xigou blushed when he heard this, but in order to boost his morale, he ignored his old face. He pretended to be bold and patted his chest:
"I am not a small dog and I am not humble. Even if I have a horse, I will fight ten battles and ten battles. And I think that man can't do it. It is easy to defeat the Zhong family's army, but it is difficult to defeat the Jia family's army."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Xigou unpredictablely said:
"This Jia family was originally born into a poor family, but this generation gave birth to three brothers, a dragon, a tiger and a dog, all of whom were brave for a while.
These three brothers dominated the countryside with their strength, and later, through unknown means, they attached themselves to the Jia family in Liaocheng County, Dongjun County, next door. With this relationship, Jia family became a powerful person in Chengyang County.
I have competed with Jia Long, the eldest brother among the three brothers, and he is as good as me. The knight will definitely lose his sword in this man's hands. Just watch."
After saying that, Xiao Gou firmly crossed his arms and vowed.
The water bandits around him felt at ease when they heard Xigou's words. But soon, a voice came from a hundred steps ahead:
"The enemy is begged by me, Yang Mao."
Who is this Yang Mao? Why does that head look familiar?
At this moment, a thief leader asked Xigou uncertainly:
"Xigou, is this the Jia Long you are talking about?"
"It's definitely impossible. I know what that man is capable of. What ability does Yang Mao have to defeat him?"
At this moment, Xigou would definitely not be able to admit it, and from such a distance, how could he know that it must be Jia Long? Right.
But what happened next made Xigou look pale no matter how much he said.
I saw that as soon as Jia's warrior died, his formation collapsed, and then the "Sun" and "Xie" families of Erdaoling and Sandaoling withdrew completely.
For a moment, they were the only Leize water bandits left on the entire battlefield.
Looking at the scene of Zhong and Jia's second family soldiers being chased north by General Shi's troops, the three major water bandits were speechless for a moment. Is this General Shi too brave? Or is it that the soldiers of the two families are too weak?
And how did this happen?
It was clear that powerful soldiers were the main force this time, and they, the Lei Ze water bandits, were guest soldiers. Why did the master run away now and leave their guests here?
The same thief leader who encouraged the thin dog to steal the horse had an idea.
He patted his forehead and pointed at Xue's wall in the southeast, his brows beaming with joy:
"Xi Gou, what a God-given opportunity. General Shi's troops came out in full force. How can this barrier be defended? If we attack the wall now, we will definitely be able to knock it down in one go."
Unexpectedly, Xigou was unmoved and replied calmly:
"Then what?"
This question actually stopped the man.
Then isn't it just to rob his mother? Isn't that what you do all the time? What's wrong with Xigou? Is he crazy?
Xigou knew his companion's doubts, so he pushed his companion's hand away with his backhand and said seriously:
"Don't be stupid again. In the past, you were so powerful that you lost your mind. But now that our brothers are here, people will die."
You say you want to break through the wall, you say they come out in force and can come down in one go.
Then let me ask you, how did you know that people were all in love, and you said that all at once, what did you do? Bump your head into the door?
And the most important thing is, what if you just beat me down?
How brave is the person on the other side? You don’t know how brave you are? We entered the wall and were surrounded by people. There will be no way to escape. Are you still a hottie? If you want to have a good time before death, don’t pull the brothers."
What he said was not polite. The thief's face turned blue and white, but he didn't dare to argue.
Just because whoever has greater strength will have greater abilities.
Fortunately, another thief came up to correct the problem. He asked, half persuading and half puzzled:
"Then what should we do now? The men didn't have any food, so they just stood there for a long time, with their legs shaking. Look, General Shi is not only brave, but he is also good at using soldiers. He immediately seized the opportunity."
It turns out that these water pirates haven’t eaten either!
The water bandits who went out to collect firewood were supposed to light fires and cook, but later Zhang Chong and his horsemen chased them away. Not only did they not get enough food, but they were also frightened.
They want to go back to Leize.
But whether they can leave or not is not something they can decide. It depends on whether Zhang Chong lets them go.
Here, Zhang Chong's troops have tied the prisoners' mouths together with straw ropes. These people are also obedient. A few of them are standing in a row, not moving, only burying their heads, fearing that Zhang Chong's people will pay more attention to them.
Zhang Chong could already hear Li Damu's stomach growling.
Damu's subordinates were all new soldiers, so when Yang Mao was making arrangements, he placed him at the end.
Li Damu originally thought that his first battle would be fine, but when he actually entered the battlefield, he discovered that he had cramps in his calves.
It wasn't because he was the last one. He had stakes on his feet and was about to be hacked to death with a single stab, and his strength would be wiped out in vain.
By the time he regained his composure, the battle was over. He didn't even know how he rushed uphill, and even rushed to Zhang Chong's side.
Moreover, even though the battle was not fought at all, Li Damu's stomach never stopped.
Zhang Chong patted Da Mu's shoulder and said nothing. He just took out a piece of Hu cake from his armor and handed it to him.
This was given to Zhang Chong by Duman before the battle. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he was full of enthusiasm, but he still remembered to eat a cake, so he kept it.
Li Damu's face was full of embarrassment. How could he accept this? He couldn't hold back his tears and cried:
"Qu Kui, Damu has embarrassed you, how can I eat this cake again?"
Zhang Chong laughed, and while riding on his horse, he bent down and stroked the back of his eyes:
"If you don't eat enough, how can you use your power to subjugate a cow? Eat."
After saying that, he directly stuffed the cake into Li Damu's hand.
At this time, Yang Mao came over panting, frowning, and reported to Zhang Chong:
"Qu Kuai, we just cleaned up the position. The enemy didn't leave any dry food. They only had some millet and they didn't have time to get it."
Zhang Chong knew it well and asked:
"Have you found out where these people came from?"
"Well, I've asked everything clearly. We just defeated the powerful soldiers from nearby Chengyang County. The leader is the Zhong family, whose head has been beheaded by your formation. The remaining Jia family, one named Jia Long, is here.
There was Xiaoyong, but I still asked for it."
When Yang Mao killed Jia Long, Zhang Chong saw it. What more could he want from such a wise and brave man?
"Your bravery, I have seen it. If you warriors like you can die at your service, why can't this world be changed again?"
Yang Mao was modest and said:
"It's just a young general, not worth mentioning. By the way, we also asked who's army is on the opposite slope."
Oh, this is the key, Zhang Chong quickly asked him to explain.
"This army is the Lei Ze water bandits recruited by the Zhong family. They come with Chengyang's powerful soldiers this time. I guess their offensive intention is not strong."
This information was crucial, and Zhang Chong had an idea in his mind, so he ordered Yang Mao to go back and organize his troops.
A moment later, Zhang Chong's entire army was ready. Following General Shi's flag, they meandered downhill, marched fifty steps, and lined up at the bottom of the left slope, with flags fluttering.
Zhang Chong rode his horse around the formation, patted his armor and encouraged the whole army.
"rush"
The whole army cheered and raised their troops and shouted:
"rush"
After doing this three times, the whole army became more motivated to fight.
The water pirates on the slope stood at a high place and could clearly see the troops at their feet. The enemy's formations were well organized and their morale was high. How could they still have fighting spirit?
Even a small dog is timid, but what can he do? He doesn't dare to fight, but he doesn't want to surrender.
Wait, who says it can't be done? Xigou suddenly felt that his mind had opened up.
I am a water bandit, and General Shi is a bandit. We are a bandit family, why can't we surrender?
After thinking about it, Xigou mentioned this idea to the other two thieves, but who knows, neither of them agreed.
One said, "We have two hundred soldiers, but down the slope there are only a hundred. I have the advantage, so why can't I fight?"
One said, how long will it take us to save these possessions, and how can we reduce it? The other generation is already exhausted, and the outcome of this battle is uncertain.
When Xigou heard what the two said, he laughed loudly:
"Okay, so it's my brother who deceived you just now. What you said is right. How would you know if you haven't been beaten before?"
After saying that, he cheered up, raised his arms, and said boldly:
"Today, you and I will become brothers in front of this formation. But the enemy situation is critical, so everything should be kept simple. When the thieves come down the slope, we will talk about the righteousness of Kunzhong again."
After saying that, Xigou took the lead and knelt down facing east. The other two people were also excited and knelt down facing east and clasped their fists together:
"Today, I am three..."
Before the word "brother" could be said, the dog suddenly jumped up, drew his knife and stabbed the two of them.
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
The two thieves also had henchmen. When they saw their leader was suddenly chopped to the ground, they subconsciously drew their swords and rushed in.
They were no match for Xigou. After killing several of them, they calmed down and tried to run away. However, they were surrounded by Xigou's subordinates who had awakened, and they were all killed.
At this moment, the money-loving thief is still alive. He is vomiting blood and his face is filled with fear:
"Why, thin dog?"
"Why? Do you know how much I annoy you? You keep calling me Xigou, okay, Xigou. You don't know that I hate people calling me Xigou. My name is Ren Yun."
After saying that, Xigoufu stabbed the man in the heart again.
