Daya's army retreated steadily, and Dayu's army advanced step by step.
Su Han stood high on the commander's chariot, waving the flag and strategizing.
Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the Daya Army is completely defeated.
However, Su Hanju slowly frowned. Decades of combat experience told him that there seemed to be a problem with the Daya Army's steady retreat. But what the problem was, he couldn't tell for a while.
"Major, how far has the army advanced?" Su Han asked the adjutant beside him.
"Back to Marshal, the army has advanced five miles." the adjutant replied respectfully.
Su Hanju frowned and pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Order the left and right scouts to expand the scope of investigation by ten miles, and order the reconnaissance battalion to immediately estimate the number of enemy troops on the battlefield. Send additional scouts to sneak into the enemy's rear to conduct reconnaissance, and try to expand the scope of investigation as much as possible."
"Here!" the adjutant took the order and left.
Then, Su Han quickly waved the flag and drummed the order. The army immediately followed the order, slowed down the attack speed, and gradually moved closer together, slowly changing from an attack formation to a defensive formation.
"What are you doing, old man?" Su Yang, who was in the middle of the charge, suddenly frowned and complained: "The Daya army is retreating steadily. We should pursue the victory. Why should we shrink our formation? Give me another stick of incense and I will tear it apart.
Open up the central formation of Daya Army and strike directly at its heart."
"Maybe I'm afraid that if I chase too deep, I might be ambushed by the enemy." Su Mou on the side responded.
"Be conservative!" Su Yang said displeased.
However, even though he expressed a hundred dissatisfactions on his lips, he did not dare to slack off in his actions and strictly and promptly carried out the coach's orders.
"Report!"
"It's about to stop!"
Zhou Jianlai ran as fast as he could, returned to the battlefield and went straight to Su Hanju's handsome car. He shouted urgently after more than a hundred steps.
When the guard saw Zhou Jianlai approaching with great force, he immediately raised his sword to stop Zhou Jianlai twenty steps away.
"It's your boy." Su Han raised his eyes and fell on Zhou Jianlai. Because of his one arm, he recognized Zhou Jianlai at a glance and asked, "If you have any troops, report them quickly."
"Your Majesty, Marshal, 200,000 Daya troops are sneaking up from fifteen miles east-north, including about 70,000 cavalry and about 130,000 infantry." Zhou Jian reported back and forth.
"Sure enough, there is a scam!" Su Han raised his eyes and shouted coldly, "If there is one in the east, then there must be one in the west. Use the front as a bait to seduce me, then surround me from both sides, trying to make me dumplings in one pot. Humph, it's so whimsical!"
After saying this, he waved the flag in his hand, drummed the order and spread it across the battlefield, and the army moved upon hearing the order.
He had previously ordered the army to switch from attack to defense. At this time, he conveyed the order to retreat. The army moved without any sudden panic and carried out the order in an orderly manner.
Li Haotian was ordered to withdraw from the front to the left wing, and Su Yang was ordered to withdraw from the front to the right wing. Each of them defended one side, preparing to meet the Daya Army sneak attack from the east and west sides.
However, not long after the order to retreat was conveyed, the Daya army, which had been retreating steadily, suddenly made a fierce counterattack and held on tightly, preventing the army from easily evacuating.
Su Han kept calm and kept giving orders to the army to slow down the retreat. It was most important to avoid impatience at this time. Once the position was messed up, the retreat would turn into a rout.
After about a cup of tea, the scouts came to report that Daya's army was found in the northwest direction. It was roughly estimated that there were 200,000 troops, and they were already as close as ten miles away.
Su Han raised his eyes to the sand table in front of him, planted a small flag in a position to the west, and ordered to the herald: "Send my order, and the bow and crossbow battalion will go to this position to ambush."
After speaking, he picked up a small flag and placed it in front of the previous one, and said: "Order General Xiang to lead 30,000 heavy armored troops and cooperate with the bow and crossbow battalion to stop the 200,000 big tooth troops."
"Here!" the ordering soldier took the order and left.
"Master, the entire bow and crossbow camp went to the west to ambush, what should we do in the east?" the old servant lowered his voice and asked worriedly.
"To the east?" Su Hanju raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "There is Brother Qingsong in the east, and he alone is enough."
"The general is old." The old servant reminded him in a low voice.
Su Hanju was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed softly. The hero is dying, which is an extremely sad thing but has to be admitted. After he frowned and pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Zhou Jianlai and ordered: "Boy
, pass my order, order Qi Yoyo to lead 10,000 cavalry eastward to support the old general and hold off Daya’s 200,000 sneak attack troops.”
"Here!" Zhou Jianlai took the order and rushed to the battlefield to convey Su Hanju's order to Qi Yoyo.
…
Butcher Zhang is indeed old.
When he rushed out of the Daya Army's formation again, he was already exhausted, panting like an ox, sweating profusely, and even injured, with four or five deep wounds visible to the bone.
Thinking back then, it was extremely easy for him to charge back and forth between enemy troops like this, and it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
However, even though he was exhausted and out of breath, even though he was injured, he still killed the three big-tooth masters who chased him like melons and vegetables. They were all masters of the ninth heaven realm, and none of them could be his enemy with one sword.
.
Zhang Xiaozhu's admiration for Butcher Zhang is as endless as the endless river.
Although he was killed alive, it was because Butcher Zhang rushed in front, withstood more than 90% of the impact, and would come back from time to time to help him kill some big-tooth masters who were far stronger than him. If it weren't for Zhang
Thanks to the butcher's protection, Zhang Xiaopou could be absolutely certain that he would have been chopped into pieces long ago.
But if you ask him to give himself an evaluation, he will say without hesitation: "Awesome!"
That’s right, it’s awesome).
These two kills were enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
There is no way to praise him enough for his heroic spirit, unparalleled bravery, the coming of the God of War, his peerless splendor, etc.
If anyone is dissatisfied, go to Ten Thousand Arms and try to kill one of them.
It's just that he is too embarrassed right now.
He lay on the horse like a dead dog, panting heavily with his mouth open. There were numerous large and small wounds on his body, and four arrows were stuck on his back. His whole body was already stained red with blood.
Every muscle in his body was twitching and shaking uncontrollably due to excessive exertion. Especially his arms, which were almost unconscious.
It flew away.
"Boy, you can't die." Butcher Zhang finished off the three big-toothed masters and turned to Zhang Xiaopeng.
"Probably - he won't die." Zhang Xiaozhu replied in a weak and hoarse voice. After speaking, he took a breath and said: "Senior, do me a favor and pull out the arrow from my back."
"Okay." Butcher Zhang was quite bold. He strode forward and reached out to pull out four arrows from Zhang Xiaopeng's back. Each arrow brought out a handful, and four pillars of blood shot out one after another.
Zhang Xiaozu bared his teeth and almost fainted from the pain.
Bang——
After Zhang Xiaozu took a few breaths, he dismounted from his horse and lay half paralyzed on the ground. He took out the elixir from the mustard seeds and ate it like chewing jelly beans.
After taking fifty or sixty bottles of elixirs in one breath, Zhang Xiaozhu's pale complexion finally improved a lot. The wounds on his body healed quickly under the nourishment of spiritual power, and his breath gradually became stable and strong.
"Boy, your body is quite interesting." Butcher Zhang looked up and down Zhang Xiaopou's body and said with great interest, "It seems that as long as you have enough spiritual energy to nourish you, and as long as you still have a breath of air, you can be healed no matter how serious the injury is.
Quick recovery.”
"It seems - it's like this." Zhang Xiaozhu recalled the several times he was seriously injured and found that it was indeed what Butcher Zhang said.
"Did he practice some powerful body-refining technique?" Zhang Butcher asked curiously.
"No, I ate some spiritual things from heaven and earth." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and replied.
But he felt extremely regretful in his heart. If he had known that the black giant ape's body refining method was so powerful, he would not have eaten it. Instead, he stayed in the alchemy furnace and accepted the complete body refining process of the black giant ape. Half of the body refining process was completed.
Even if it is less than that, the strength is already so powerful. If it is completely refined, wouldn't the strength be incredible?
"Hey -" Every time he thought about it, Zhang Xiaozhu would sigh with regret. He very much looked forward to going to the black forest again, finding the black giant ape, asking him to help him, and training him again.
However, the ferocious scene I saw in Liujiacun before was still vivid in my mind. The ancient beasts poked their heads out from the dark forest and easily killed the powerful stars. It was extremely terrifying.
So he wondered whether he should enter the Black Forest again.
After resting for a short while and eating two bottles of elixirs from Zhang Xiaozu, Butcher Zhang regained his composure, raised his knife, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said, "I will only use the sword technique once. How much you can learn depends on your understanding."
.”
"Senior, please slow down a little." Zhang Xiaozhu asked hurriedly for fear that he would not be able to remember.
"That's easy to say." Butcher Zhang nodded, then swung his knife with a flick of his wrist, and slowly displayed his sword technique. At the same time, he explained: "This is a sword technique specially used to kill people. If you want to master this sword technique, you need to know one thing first.
What are the fatal points in the human body, which ones are easy to be broken by a knife, which ones are not easy, and which parts are better to use which moves. Once you are familiar with these, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you practice the sword technique. There are seven moves and 49 moves in this sword technique.
Whether it is difficult or not, whether it is simple or not, some people will learn it once they learn it, and some people will never know it after learning it for a lifetime."
It only took half a cup of tea for Zhang Butcher to complete the seven moves and forty-nine moves of the "Murder Knife".
Zhang Xiaozu slowly closed his eyes and practiced slowly in his mind.
After practicing three times in succession, he opened his eyes, raised the knife, stepped forward, shook his wrist and twisted, and displayed the "Murder Knife" in front of Butcher Zhang's eyes.
No move is wrong, no move is wrong.
Butcher Zhang's eyes were bright, he stroked his white beard lightly, and nodded repeatedly. He greatly appreciated Zhang Xiaozu's talent.
"How do you feel?" After Zhang Xiaopou finished practicing his sword technique, he asked with a smile.
"It feels very awkward. The posture of holding the knife in many places gives me an awkward and unpleasant feeling." Zhang Xiaozhu frowned.
"Haha, every beginner says this. Only after being tempered in actual combat can one understand the essence of the sword." Butcher Zhang nodded and smiled, and then asked: "Would you like to charge and practice? If I find you
If the enlightenment is acceptable, I will teach you the internal skills and mental methods for practicing swordsmanship. Only by combining them with the mental methods for practicing swordsmanship can the full power of this swordsmanship be demonstrated."
"——" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly felt like he had been deceived, but he was deceived willingly.
He put away the long knife in his hand, took out the lighter bone knife, looked at Butcher Zhang and said, "Senior, it's time to go!"
"Good boy -" Butcher Zhang raised his eyelids and said, "You want to go to the front?"
"I'm willing to give it a try."
"Haha, okay! I'll let you try. Xiaobing, come on!"
