"Should we pursue him? Should we pursue him?" All the thieves were dumbfounded.
Sun Guan had already walked far away and had bypassed a mountain col. He could no longer see the flag and could only hear the faint cry of killing. The desire of others to pursue was not very strong. Besides, the enemy's tactics were too unreasonable.
, it is difficult to predict what they will do next, and if you pursue them rashly, you might be fooled again.
"Wait for the scouts to report back." Xi Zhicai looked at the battlefield full of corpses and frowned. Zang Bajun had the upper hand in terms of numbers and individual combat power, but the number of corpses on the ground was actually the same.
Zang Bajun was in the majority.
In the final analysis, it was the opponent's superior move and his reaction to Zang Ba's success.
If Xu Shu had turned around and fled, Guan Hai would not have gained anything in his second wave of attacks. If the entire army pursued him, Guan Hai would still have gained nothing, unless he was stupid enough to chase after Zang Bajun.
If you attack, you will be able to take advantage of it.
As a result, we first pursued and then stopped. After discovering the enemy's attack, we rushed into formation, which was why we incurred such heavy losses.
The other party has done a lot of homework and has thoroughly studied the leaders on his side.
No matter what Xu Shu had planned later, at least for now, his tactics were successful. Xi Zhicai's vigilance had been raised to the highest level and he was fully prepared to face today's extremely difficult battle.
The situation on the battlefield is currently unclear. If Xu Shu prepares a third wave of offensives and Zang Ba's army divides his troops again, he may be playing into his hands. Divide and encircle them, and defeat them one by one!
Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai's heart suddenly jumped and he asked Zang Ba anxiously: "General Xuan Gao, can you ask General Zhongtai to temporarily withdraw his troops?"
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit embarrassing." Zang Ba replied with a grimace.
Sun Guan was not his subordinate. He was the leader of the Taishan bandits. Sun Guan and others were all equals. Whoever spoke louder would be judged by whose fists were bigger. Zang Ba had eight thousand troops and was the best among them.
Therefore, he is the boss, but the others are not much inferior to him. Brother Sun Guan also has more than 6,000 subordinates. In addition, Yin Li, who is close to him, supports each other, and his voice is not much softer than Zang Ba.
"Mr. Zhicai, are you doubting..." Zang Ba's expression suddenly changed as his mind turned around.
He has never doubted Xi Zhicai's intelligence. Before the war started, the other party knew the relationship between the Taishan bandits. Otherwise, they would not have set up such a formation when the war started. In the final analysis, it was for the leaders to
The greatest autonomy prevents them from feeling constrained while maintaining the integrity of the army.
But now, Xi Zhicai suddenly asked Sun Guan to withdraw his troops. Obviously...
"A plan within a plan!" Xi Zhicai said in a voice that only two people could hear, with a solemn look and a hurried tone: "Xu Yuanzhi used his body as bait to deceive the enemy. There is probably an ambush in the mountain!"
The terrain of Fenghuang Mountain is good, the mountain is flat and the scenery is beautiful. It is very suitable for sightseeing, climbing and watching the wind, but it is far from dangerous. So Xi Zhicai didn't pay much attention to it at first, and didn't think Xu Shu would choose such an uninhabited place.
Fight with yourself in a dangerous place.
But now, he no longer thinks so. Xu Shu took advantage of his own mentality and did the opposite. He took advantage of the location to the extreme, using those gentle slopes for impact and acceleration; using Phoenix
The special shape of the mountain completes the cover on both sides; as for the ambush, it is easier, there are many valleys in the mountain, just find a larger one.
"But Zhongtai won't listen!" Zang Ba was also anxious, rubbing his hands, stamping his feet, and suggested: "How about we go and take over?"
"I'm afraid... it's too late." Xi Zhicai's expression changed, from solemn to gloomy in an instant.
Just as they were hesitating in their discussion, several more low-pitched horns were heard under the bright clouds. Immediately afterwards, another black line appeared on the gentle slope at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain, and more than 10,000 militiamen armed with various weapons rushed over with shouts.
.
"Come again? Bastard! Are you treating me like a fool?" Zang Ba was dumbfounded, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Keep the formation, stop hiding it, take out all the treasures, and use bows and arrows to greet them.
!”
It’s not that the Taishan bandits don’t have bows and arrows or archers, it’s just that bows and arrows are too precious. They originally planned to use them after they invaded Qingzhou, when they attacked the city or encountered difficulties. Previously, Xu Shu’s militiamen even dispersed from their formation. Where was he?
Will you take the other person seriously?
It was different now. He didn't know how many waves of enemy attacks there were, and he was worried about the safety of Sun Guan and Yin Li, so he rushed to rescue and simply sacrificed the magic weapon at the bottom of the box. Although the Qingzhou militiamen were large in number,
There are not enough soldiers and armor. In the cold winter months, if you encounter the shooting of a strong bow, a life will be lost if you miss it.
As if they had a tacit understanding, the third militia army did not rush down at all, but had the same idea as Zang Ba. Standing more than 200 steps away, the militia leader pulled the team into a double-layer arc.
The platoon of militiamen held up wooden shields in layers, while those in the back row held various bows and launched uneven volleys.
For a distance of more than 200 steps, the only way to fight was to use direct shooting. The arrows shuttled back and forth among the snowflakes, which were denser than the snowflakes. In an instant, the sky was filled with black, white and black, and there was a sharp roar, which was very spectacular.
But after falling, the killing effect is very limited.
Most of the archers in Zang Ba's army were powerful private soldiers. Their martial arts and archery skills were far superior to those of their opponents. The powerful bows they had always treasured were no worse than those used by the elites of the princes.
However, despite the small slope, they were shooting upwards after all, and the militiamen were well prepared, using loose and long formations and heavy shields to offset their advantage.
Most of the militia's bows and arrows are hunting bows, which are soft and have little power. If it weren't for the strong north wind, most of the arrows would not hit the target at all. Even if they hit the target, they actually don't have much lethality, at least there is
Half of the arrows didn't have iron arrowheads at all, they were just bamboo poles. Otherwise, how could they be blown by the wind?
It has no accuracy and no power, but it is not purely for the purpose of disgusting people. After all, it has the advantage of being condescending. Zang Bajun's armor coverage rate is also low. If he is accidentally poked by a bamboo arrow, it will be a big bloody wound. It has no lethality, then
It doesn't make sense either.
After several rounds of shooting, the casualties on both sides were very small, but Zang Ba felt disgraced. The militia's arrows could not kill people, but they were quite lethal to the flag.
Including the flags, the Taishan bandits' flags had many transparent holes. Zang Ba's handsome flag was the highest and most conspicuous. As a result, it attracted the most attacks, and it suddenly became riddled with holes.
"His grandmother's!" Zang Ba was so angry that he almost exploded. After fighting for so many years, he had never seen such a shameless enemy!
Is this still an army? Is there such an army that specializes in disgusting people? In short-hand combat, they hit and run, and shoot at long range. They don't care at all whether they can kill or injure their opponents. The world calls themselves thieves and lifts Wang Peng to the sky.
, now let’s see who looks more like a thief!
"Send the order, the entire army attacks the mountain and kills them!" Zang Ba shouted angrily as he could no longer bear it. Such an army must have limited combat effectiveness. We couldn't let them continue to be arrogant.
"No!" Xi Zhicai quickly stopped him. Seeing Zang Ba turning his head angrily, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger, he pointed to the general's flag on the mountain and explained: "The enemy seems to be delaying time, and... Xuan Gao
General, look at the general's flag and you should know who is leading the troops."
Zang Ba really didn't pay attention at the moment. He only knew that all the generals in Qingzhou were in Hebei, and Xu Shu was the only one to support him in his hometown. He didn't think there were any troublesome people. But Xi Zhicai's suggestion could not be without reason. He raised his eyes
Looking from a distance, I saw a big word "田" on the general's flag.
"Tian? Could it be..." Zang Ba looked at Xi Zhicai, his eyes full of hesitation.
"Tian Yuanhao!" Xi Zhicai nodded and said with certainty: "Tian Yuanhao is also here. It can be seen that all the people left behind in Qingzhou have come out in full force in this battle. Xu Shu and Guan Hai are very skilled in martial arts. They can charge in front and cut off the rear with their swords.
.Tian Feng has no courage, but
However, he was very resourceful, so he set up this formation and challenged the general. If the general pursued him, I'm afraid they would turn around and leave immediately. In the end, their efforts would be in vain. If he didn't pursue them, they would also be restrained here. Generals Sun and Yin
I’m afraid it’s over there…”
After saying that, Xi Zhicai laughed miserably: "Since Qingzhou is all out, it is bound to be won. I am afraid this battle will be..."
"Impossible!" Wu Dun pointed at the mountain and shouted in disbelief: "Although there are many people in Qingzhou, only Xu Shu and Guan Hai have some fighting strength. When it comes to Tian Feng's group, they no longer dare to approach.
Why are they ambushing us if we are pregnant? Even if Sun Guan falls into the ambush, is delaying this time useful?"
"Are the most capable ones here? But that's not necessarily the case!" Xi Zhicai suddenly turned to look at Chang Xi. The latter was stunned at first, then at a loss, and finally jumped up suddenly and shouted: "Impossible! Impossible.
! Lu Shan and I have been friends for eight years. There is no way he could lie to me. The soldiers he sent clearly said that the envoy from Qingzhou was beheaded by Xu He..."
Under Xi Zhicai's cold gaze, Chang Xi's voice gradually became deeper and deeper.
At the turn of eight bows? With a knife on your neck, eight hundred bows are in vain! The personal soldiers may not be reliable, and the personal soldiers do not jump out of the cracks in the rocks. With a knife on the neck of a family member, loyalty to Lu Shan is nothing.
What? Besides, this person...
"Where is the messenger from Juping? Where is he?" Chang Xi shouted to his bodyguard with red eyes.
The guards looked at each other and timidly replied: "It seemed to be there before the fight started, but now..."
"Trash!" Chang Xi slapped him in the face, causing the Guards to stagger. After a little anger was released, he turned to Xi Zhicai and asked with a hint of luck: "You may not have enough time, right?"
His messenger was sent out at the beginning of the army. He received good hospitality in Juping and stayed for several days before returning. During this period, the messenger from Qingzhou must not have arrived. Xu He was hesitant.
It can also be regarded as waiting for news from Qingzhou.
Later, Lu Shan sent someone to report that Xu He had broken with Qingzhou, and he thought it was natural. Wang Yu was too stingy in delegating power. It was strange that Xu He, who was used to being the boss, could tolerate it.
But if it is as expected by Xi Zhicai, Xu He was persuaded by the Qingzhou envoy to make a decision and send troops. There will be too little time left for this series of actions, unless...
Xi Zhicai sighed: "As soon as Xu He saw the envoy from Qingzhou, he made up his mind to capture Lushan, wipe out his party members, and march eastward... Such a decisive decision was unexpected."
"Then what should we do now?" Zang Ba was also a little panicked. Xu He alone was nothing to be afraid of, but if he added an unknown number of minzhuang gathered in Qingzhou, it would be very scary.
Xu He's army is the most proficient in fighting among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Their personal combat power is not inferior to the Taishan bandits. With these people as the backbone and supplemented by tens of thousands of civilians, this battle is not an ordinary dangerous one.
"Withdraw troops!" Xi Zhicai said two words decisively.
"Withdraw troops?" Zang Ba and others changed their colors at the same time.
"The strong man has cut off his wrist. It should be too late for General Sun. If he rushes into the mountain to rescue, he will probably be surrounded!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "If you retreat now, you can at least save the main force. If you are willing to fight to the death, you may not be unable to give it.
Qingzhou struck hard."
Obviously, what he meant was that Zang Ba would ignore his retreat and pounce on Qingzhou with all his strength. He would suffer heavy losses and not be able to defeat the city, but he would also ruthlessly tear off a few pieces of flesh from Qingzhou. If he could succeed, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to him.
Cao Cao is great good news, but for Zang Ba and others, this is a bit too dangerous.
"Otherwise... withdraw from the mountainous area first?" Chang Xi was the coldest person. Since he had decided that Xu He was against him, he knew that he would not be able to reconcile today. How could he be willing to fight for Sun Guan and Yin Li to take chestnuts from the fire?
"This..." Zang Ba hesitated and hesitated.
At this moment, the militiamen on the mountain suddenly sang in unison: "The word "tolerance" is high, the word "tolerance" is high, and the word "tolerance" is the word "high", and the word "tolerance" is the word "knife" in the head. Whoever can't bear it will face difficulties, the word "tolerance" is worth scrutinizing. Use history as a mirror, and the future
The figures in the dynasty laugh with you; Jiang Gong could bear to catch fish and lived to be eighty to help the Zhou Dynasty; Su Qin could bear to stab the buttocks with a cone, and the Six Kingdoms named him the prime minister; Han Xin could endure the humiliation of his crotch, and went on stage to pay homage to the general to protect the Han Dynasty..."
Zang Ba and others had never heard of this slang song, but they heard the meaning clearly. They just didn't know what the other party meant. As they were dumbfounded, the singing on the mountain suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison: "Please bear with me."
Let’s take this tone, they are just a group of thieves anyway, what do they want to do to save face? Bear with it, bear with it, a hundred times of patience will turn you into a turtle! General Turtle, since you know you are defeated, why don’t you find a way to make a living as soon as possible?”
Immediately afterwards, there was a roar of laughter on the mountain, and all the militiamen laughed and cursed: "Now that you know your shame, you still have some humanity, so get out of here!"
"Wash your neck well and wait for the Lord to come back to take care of you!"
"It is better to die early than to die late, and it is better to die than to live. Sun Guan is dead, do you want to be buried as well? Hurry back to your old home, and you can linger on for a few more days."
There are many desperadoes in the Taishan bandit army. They don't even take their own lives seriously. How can they be afraid of Wang Yu's reputation? Today's battle was already a waste, and they were provoked by the mountain militia. How could they endure it?
Come on, without waiting for Zang Ba's general, a group of people rushed up the hillside with a roar, and the sound of killing was loud.
"Kill them!"
"Chop off their tongues and see how they chatter again!"
"Kill, kill!"
It's a mess.
The battle situation was completely chaotic.
Xi Zhicai seemed stunned, and even Zang Ba and other leaders were shouting to rush out of the formation without paying attention. After a long time, he made a move and looked up to the sky and lamented: "I didn't expect this. Who would have thought that Tian Feng, a man with integrity, would
How can a well-known honest man be so provocative? The situation is over. I calculated that I won 100% in this plan. I wanted to kill the thief, but I was unable to save him!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better.
