Delong

Chapter 246 Array Row (12)

Zhang Xing claimed to be able to see through people's hearts, but he actually believed that after eating [-] soldiers, the Qilu army, which looked like an official army, was actually a local military group in the lower reaches of Jishui River, would be completely destroyed, and those who escaped, especially Even if the core members of this army survive and escape, because of this rural characteristic, they will not be able to escape their final fate in the end.

The so-called Taoist can run away but can't run away, so what if he escapes?

Therefore, when Zhang Xuguo displayed his condensed core cultivation and rushed back into the encirclement without his life, but gave up his command and blocked the pursuers along the edge of the water like a brave man to cut off the rear for the few fugitives, he was already accepting Zhang Xing, who was congratulated and flattered by the frontline leaders and military officers, did not respond in any way, but ordered Xu Shiying to organize manpower to arrest the opponent or simply kill him on the spot.

The end is commanding.

Immediately afterwards, he was stunned by Zhang Changgong's surprise attack.

Four thousand fresh troops attacked suddenly, and the leading general was a mad-looking alchemy master, who staggered the scattered formation on the north side, who was in a victory stance, on the spot.At the same time, the momentum of the reinforcements quickly cheered up the desperate surrounded army, and the latter quickly tried to escape northward under the leadership of a small number of officers.

Under the attack from both sides, Delong's army was caught off guard, and there were many casualties for a while.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xing and the other leaders of the Dragon Army, who were already very excited, quickly restrained themselves, reorganized their troops, and ordered to stabilize their positions.

It can only be said that fortunately, the officers and soldiers in the encirclement were only dying, and after a wave failed, they collapsed more thoroughly. This allowed the Dethrone Dragon Army to quickly concentrate its forces and turn to the north to attack.

"how to spell?"

At this time, most of the afternoon has passed, but it is not yet evening, but the rain is still there. Fortunately, after condensing the alchemy, Zhang Xing felt his eyes and ears were clear. He got on a horse and was able to see the battle ahead from a distance. Then he turned his head to the side A general came to inquire.

"Third brother, I think the overall situation is settled now, as long as the formation is stable, the opponent can't fight, so there is no need to make trouble." Niu Da, who came with only a few hundred soldiers, was a little anxious.

"Are you scared after being knocked down once?" Shan Tonghai knew about Niu Danidi's experience of fleeing in the mud, so he confronted him face to face. "If you want me to say, eat these four thousand soldiers right here! If that Zhang Changgong really lost his mind and dared to attack at the risk of exhaustion of true energy, then kill him here! Kill him and eat these four thousand soldiers!" The last four thousand soldiers, the land of the eight counties on both sides of Jishui River, will be ours in an instant!"

By the end of the sentence, it was obvious that some emotions were out of control.

Obviously, the repeated battles and defeats in the previous six months and the fact that he did not gain any military merits in this battle (the official army was already defeated before he led his troops to join Zhang Xing), let the original three leaders of the Dragon Clan The mentality of one of the leaders is a little out of balance.

Because of this, Niu Da wanted to be sarcastic.But following Zhang Xing's wink, he still suppressed his anger.

This made Shan Tonghai even more anxious.

But Zhang Xing thought for a while, but he simply gave an order: "Niu Da led the two leaders Ding Shengying and Guo Jingke to the left wing, and Jia Yue and Zhai Qian to the right wing. In the back, Shan Datou leads the front, fighting and retreating... If Zhang Changgong realizes his interest and wakes up and leaves, then it will stop here, we still have dumplings to eat behind us; if he really loses his mind, we will finish him here That's right!"

All the generals heard the order, but they didn't have much to say, so they responded one after another.

Zhang Xing also went to look at the people around him again: "Xiao Jia, you go to regroup the masters we formed before, and find some if you can; Wang Xiongdan, you and the leader of the horse go to mobilize some long soldiers and get ready. , and gather under my banner."

Jia Runshi, Wang Xiongdan, and Ma Ping'er also responded.

Bai Yousi, on the other hand, took a slight step forward at this time, and seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Xing with a wave of his hand: "Look at it, when it is necessary, I still have to rely on you, but in all likelihood, it will not be your turn." Come, not even my turn."

Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, but immediately came to his senses and stopped talking.

After a while, the troops began to reorganize in the chaotic battle. Thanks to the return of the senior generals of the headquarters and the disappearance of the flank attack, as well as the already narrow passage battlefield, a dense army formation gradually began to form.

However, Zhang Changgong's assault was obviously hasty and non-tactical, and he was quickly dragged into the depths of the army by the dethroned dragon army without realizing it.

"Mr. Zhang!"

Fan Bao rode his horse and squeezed in front of the disheveled Zhang Changgong, and opened his mouth with a little fear, and when he opened his mouth, he began to cry. "No more rushing in! If you rush in again, the four thousand soldiers will be surrounded!"

Zhang Changgong, who was holding a long gun, turned his head suddenly, his hair splashed out of the rain, and his face was still ferocious, which made Fan Bao tremble with fright.

But the latter regained his composure, gritted his teeth and sat still on the horse, and continued to persuade with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Zhang, what is wrong with you? Tell me! If you want to save Manager Zhang or someone else, let's put the soldiers back. Go around and look for it alone, with your cultivation base, you can't say that you can really rescue people after dark! If you want to save the trapped army, then I'll be honest, it's useless to fight any longer, it's better to put the army back. Just confronting each other like this, involving some troops, maybe we can take the opportunity to run out more... But we can't go on like this, I'm afraid that if we go on like this, we will send out the last four thousand soldiers from Qi County!"

Hearing this, Zhang Changgong opened his mouth, but he didn't need to say a word, but he burst into tears. The rain and tears made a paste, and slid down the bloodstain on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, at this point, we have to recognize the reality... My elder brother and my younger sister are all trapped. If you want to save someone, I will do my best to help you." Seeing this, Fan Bao continued to smile To persuade him with tears, he was really heartbroken. "But it is really unwise to use force by force!"

"I don't want to save anyone! I want to save everyone!" Seeing the sincerity of the other party's words, Zhang Changgong finally burst into tears. "General Fan Er, I hate myself for being incompetent! In Dongdu, I was in a daze, everything was arranged by my family, and I never had an opinion on how to do things. It's just that I came out this time, from scratch, and finally followed the manager, and the big guys We made some situations together, but they disappeared...I can't help this anger!"

Fan Bao was completely silent.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were always afraid of each other like a tiger, they would almost cry with each other.

"Forget it, you take the last few thousand people back to Qi County!" Zhang Changgong turned around, looked up to the sky and sighed, letting the rain hit his face. "I will break with you first, and then try to save some people..."

At this time, Fan Bao was also in a state of confusion, he could only nod his head, and then hastily ordered the rear army to change to the front army, and return to the army quickly... It's just that there are four thousand people, and they are already half trapped, how can they get out easily?

Especially Shan Tonghai who was in front of him was full of calculations, 1 grudges, and [-] unwillingness. He always wanted to expand the results of the battle, so as soon as he saw the opponent retreating, he immediately counterattacked relentlessly.

"This Shan Dalang is obviously disobedient to the military order." The one who spoke was Ma Ping'er, who had just led a group of pikemen back. Of course, what she said was well-founded, and she was right there when the order was issued.

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Xing just squinted his eyes in the rain and said nothing, and the people around him were also silent, which made Ma Ping'er embarrassed for a moment.

To put it bluntly, Ma Pinger didn't mention whether he was right or not, Zhang Dalongtou didn't want to say it, the main reason was that Ma Pinger's status was embarrassing, and Shan Tonghai's status was too prominent.

Even if Wang Xiongdan was beside him, he just glanced at Ma Ping'er, and then gave a wry smile.

In this way, everyone stood under the somewhat stiff banner of the word "解", and scattered troops gathered behind them after hearing the news, but because of Shan Tonghai's forward pounce, they still seemed a little weak.

Soon, it was hard to say whether it was true or expected, as Zhang Xing's soldiers and horses became weaker, Zhang Changgong, who was in charge of the back of the palace, suddenly jumped up and cast his true energy in the air. Pounced towards Zhang Xing's flag.

This time, Zhang Xing didn't line up.

It is precisely because of this that Fan Bao watched this scene from afar and did not have any worries at the beginning. He just regarded it as a normal attack and must be saved, delaying the end... After all, in his eyes, Zhang Changgong is too powerful, even if he is in person. After going through the previous experience, he didn't think that the Long army could do anything to this person without the formation of concentrated cultivation masters.

However, as soon as he turned around and wiped off the sweat on his face, Fan Bao was suddenly stunned, and then felt cold on the spot.

The reason couldn't be simpler. For experts above Congealing Alchemy, on the battlefield, it is necessary to maintain the body's true energy as much as possible. Try to be like this, otherwise why would you sweat your face?But Zhang Changgong, who was obviously a master of Cheng Dan, had already wet his face and hair from the rain when he spoke to him, or even earlier.

Combined with all the previous ones, this can only show that Zhang Changgong's true energy reserve is already very dangerous.

With this in mind, Fan Bao immediately turned around and turned around again.

And just this time turning around, he clearly saw that in the rain, Zhang Changgong's silver-gray flash hadn't reached the big banner with the word "拍", before it was stopped by a lavender light rising from the sky, and the two Dao rays of light entangled together, then smashed heavily into the mud, and did not get up again... On the contrary, there was a sudden panic under the banner of the word "Jie", and countless spearmen swarmed forward.

This time, Fan Bao didn't feel cold in his heart, but cold all over his body.

Fear and panic, as well as an inexplicable sense of loneliness and helplessness, surged into my heart instantly.

After seven or eight breaths, Fan Bao, who realized that he had become a complete loner, returned to his senses, and without hesitation, he rode his horse and fled northward... If he really died here, his brother's efforts would be for nothing It's too late, and there is no one to respond to the younger sister... In fact, with the appearance of the scene just now, the surrounding troops also responded to each other.

The four thousand soldiers from Qijun who knew the defeat ahead, finally lost the breath of a new force and fled in embarrassment.

Zhang Xingyao looked at this scene from a distance, then glanced at the muddy ground nearby where there was still aftermath, chose not to say a word, turned around and returned to the frozen horse, ready to wait for the final results of the inspection, and finish the battle on all fronts.

"Zhang Xuguo, are you willing to surrender?"

Sure enough, before dark, Zhang Xing waited until Zhang Xuguo, who was brought by Xu Shiying himself, then of course jumped over the other prisoners, and was the first to order this person, which was regarded as a face for this person.

"How could it fall?"

Zhang Xuguo's limbs were all broken, and he was completely dragged from the muddy water. Hearing this, he was expressionless.

"That's good..." Zhang Xing sat on the saddle with the Dragon-Starling Sword across his lap, but it was straightforward, and he didn't even intend to make up the knife himself. "Immediately beheaded, and then spread the news to the counties in the east, only saying that the imperial court was a dog, the Wei Wei lackey, and the remnants of Qi County, the thief Zhang Xuguo, has already been put to death!"

Zhang Xuguo wanted to refute when he heard the words, but he just raised his head, but then turned his head away without making unnecessary excuses... He really didn't want to talk anymore.

Officials and thieves stand against each other, and the victory and defeat are clear, which is meaningless.

On the contrary, the leaders and officers of the Deposed Dragon Army around were a little shocked when they heard this straightforward answer, and even Xu Shiying was a little flustered.But after a while, the grey-bearded general of the Great Wei East March was dragged aside, and it was still Jia Yue himself who beheaded him on the spot.

was 51 years old.

He and the military group of Qilu official army he personally shaped, died together with the end of this quagmire-like battle.

At this time, the surrounding leaders seemed to realize that two (one) Nanya ministers and one Beiya governor had died under the execution style of this big leader in the Wei court, and now it seems that there is no shortage of a marching officer .

Zhang Xuguo was dead, his head was divided into two parts, his limbs were broken, and Zhang Changgong, who was covered in mud, was also dragged over by Xiong Bonan himself, but he still turned his head to look at the lifted head, as if it was still difficult. confidence.

"Xiong Tianwang is very skilled." Zhang Xing laughed when he saw this scene. "After all, you are the one who is superior in skill and beat him!"

"I was the one who won, but I didn't have the superior skills." Xiong Bonan was also frank. "It's because of your sword, and it's because of the two pancakes and a bowl of soup just after returning to the camp... I knew he would come back!"

Zhang Xing continued to nod, but looked at Zhang Changgong again, but remained silent for a while.

Bai Yousi was beside him, hesitated for a while, and showed doubts on his face: "Sanlang, with your actions, you are not worried about my friendship with him, are you?"

"No." Zhang Xing shook his head in response, and then looked seriously at Mr. Mei Lang with disheveled hair in front of him. "I'm worried about myself... Zhang Changgong, let me ask you something. In the snow last winter, were you peeping at me from the window?"

Zhang Changgong, whose face was covered with mud and water, raised his head, glanced at the other party with his bloodshot eyes, and replied frankly: "I only regret that the ghost was obsessed with me for a while, and I didn't kill you."

"I guess it's you too." Zhang Xing sighed. "At that time, the masters of Cheng Dan and above who passed by me at that time, all I could think of was you... And you just came out of Dongdu at that time, and you didn't expect the situation today... It's a pity, if you can walk in that day, how can we As for that?"

Zhang Changgong responded with a sneer: "I don't regret it! I spent the past six months in Qi County and Lu County very happily!"

Zhang Xing nodded, noncommittal, but looked at Xu Shiying: "Xu Dalang, you are the commander of the former enemy in this battle, let me ask, how much military merit can I have in this battle, can I pay him for his life?"

Xu Shiying was puzzled, opened his mouth to speak, but immediately came to his senses, and then looked at Xiong Bonan.

Xiong Bonan was stunned for a moment, but he also came to his senses, and changed his words: "Zhang Longtou, you really don't have to worry about it too much. With your cultivation of alchemy, even though he is an alchemy, he wants to kill him one-on-one. It's hard for you too."

Zhang Xing shook his head and smiled: "To tell you the truth, Xiong Tianwang, I just officially stepped into the condensed core when I was sitting here and wielding the three swords, and I can't fly now... If he wanted to kill me at that time, I really impossible."

Xiong Bonan thought for a while, then shook his head again and again: "Forget it! In the end, you are the number one in this battle, and the rest of the entire Dragon Clan combined are not as big as you. If you want to save his life, I have nothing to say." It can be said! What's more, he is a master of alchemy after all, and he is also the grandson of the great master, if he is willing to surrender, it is naturally excellent!"

Be it Xu Shiying, Shan Tonghai, Niu Da, Zhai Qian and other important leaders, they all just thought about it, and then no one opened their mouths to participate in it.

"I don't need you to be human like this." Zhang Xing wanted to speak, but Zhang Changgong suddenly rushed to speak before him. "If you want to use me, all you need to do is forgive them all."

As Zhang Changgong said, he turned his head to look at the rest of the captured Qilu officers.

Zhang Xing also glanced at those people, then shook his head and laughed: "One side is the other side, they have their own opinions, otherwise, who will settle this battle? However, I can guarantee that I have issued a military order. How about avoiding death and seeking medical treatment for the wounded?"

Zhang Changgong was silent for a moment, nodded, then shook his head: "Director Zhang is dead, can't we pardon all the remaining officers?"

"No." Zhang Xing was categorical. "They must be stubborn people like Zhang Xuguo, how can they be pardoned?"

Zhang Changgong obviously hesitated for a while, and continued to ask: "As for the generals and below, those who surrender will not die, and the wounded will seek medical treatment. This is the military order you have issued, and you will not go back on it?"

This time it was Zhang Xing's turn to be silent for a while, but he still responded slowly: "No."

"Then I ask myself to die!" Zhang Changgong sighed. "What else can an incompetent person do?"

Zhang Xing waited for a moment, then slowly nodded in the strange silence around him and ordered: "Please do it, King Xiongtian, look at me, and leave his whole body."

The surrounding became more and more quiet, even Xiong Bonan hesitated.But after a while, the latter still dragged the person aside, and just slapped the other person's neck off, breaking it.

The poor handsome talent on the list of talents, when he first came to troubled times, he broke his wings and died easily before he could transform into a dragon. He was 27 years old at the time.

Now that the person is dead, Zhang Xing also restrained his redundant expression, and only looked around in the rain: "But who else?"

"There is also Fan Hu, who is fighting stubbornly under Wang Wulang's siege." Xu Shiying bowed his hands sincerely.

"Hurry him up." Zhang Xing became a little impatient. "Tell him Zhang Xuguo and Zhang Changgong died together, let him make a quick decision!"

Xu Shiying nodded and left in person.

About a quarter of an hour later, when the sky was clearly dark, he came back again, together with Wang Wulang, and informed the result—Fan Hu committed suicide after seeing Zhang Xuguo's head.

At the same time, Zhang Xing also finished disposing of many other high-ranking military officers who were captured by the other party... The disposal method was simple and rude.

Before and after, 34 people from the team and above, and 57 people below the captain were killed.

Up to this point, Zhang Xing thought for a while, and finally stood up under Bai Yousi's careful observation, then looked around, and said aloud on the slightly dim battlefield:

"Everyone! This battle has not yet been rewarded and punished, and the battlefield has not yet been counted, but there are two things that can be regarded as conclusive conclusions... One, among the Qilu army, the top four minions of the Violent Wei Dynasty, Zhang Xuguo and Zhang Changgong , Fan Hu, and Yu Baimei were all given their heads, captured and beheaded countless, the outcome of this battle is already clear and unmistakable, it is our army's victory and the enemy's defeat!"

Below Xu Shiying, Xiong Bonan, Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, Niu Da, Zhai Qian and other generals were startled for a moment, and then cheered up.

There are more joint-knowledgeable people around, ready to guide and cheer.

However, before that, Zhang Xing continued on his own: "Secondly, in this battle, our army protects our family and defends the people, and every brother in the same robe who dies is heavier than Hongshan! As a minion of the Violent Wei Dynasty, even if he is famous as a high-ranking and noble person, his death is as light as a feather! The justice is with me, and the sword and gun are also with me, who can refute it?!"

There was a moment of stagnation up and down, and the almost quagmire-like surroundings suddenly cheered and thundered, and then resounded through the entire battlefield with overwhelming momentum.

Time went back to a little earlier, when Zhang Xing was sitting on the frozen horse to kill people, on the other side of Lishan Mountain, at the southeast corner of the rear military village, there was a person sitting on another horse in the same posture.

"Brother, that sentry rider is right, there are indeed officers and soldiers imitating us to circle behind, what should we do?"

A soldier came to ask with sweat and rain. "Huang Touling and his soldiers, as well as those soldiers who retreated, were taken away by the pancake maker under Chief Xu's command! The army camp is completely empty!"

"I know."

Zhang Jinshu, who imitated Zhang Xing and sat on a saddle, raised his head, no superfluous expression could be seen on his pale face washed by the rain.

"We only have 300 people! The rest are all civilians!" The soldier emphasized again. "According to the previous statement, there are at least thousands of officers and soldiers who have not been surrounded. If they go around and make a surprise attack, they will win the front. How can we stop them?"

Zhang Jinshu was already panicking, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to stop him. What's more frightening was that he had already won the previous battle. If he lost, he could still run at this time. What would he do if he won?
With this in mind, Zhang Jinshu could only continue to sit on the saddle and look at his confidant subordinate, and sincerely said: "I know."

The soldier stared blankly, as if realizing something, he wanted to ask something in a low voice.

But at this time, amidst the sound of horseshoes, a young armored general had already galloped to the back corner gate of the military village, brandishing his spear, his true energy was flowing, he was actually a master in cultivation!
And as soon as she spoke, the standard young female voice shocked many people: "Follow me! Capture those key figures in the village, and force that Zhang San to get out of the way!"

The soldier continued to look at Zhang Jinshu, who didn't even open his mouth this time.

Seeing this shape, the soldier didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately turned around and waved his knife to give an order: "What are you still doing?! The front line has won a big victory! The officers and troops have come from a long way, and the soldiers must be exhausted! We still have camps to rely on, and we still have to rely on them." With Big Brother Zhang sitting here in person, all he has to do is to go up to him! Such a simple matter, do you still need Big Brother Zhang to command himself?"

The soldiers around were the elite soldiers that Zhang Jinshu dispatched from Jiyin County and Dongjun County by virtue of his status as a military judge. The wind also boosted morale, and immediately drew his sword to meet him, relying on the camp to resist.

And that female general, Fan Lihua, the younger sister of the Fan brothers and sisters, felt a little guilty when she saw this appearance... She thought that a surprise attack would have a miraculous effect, but how could she have imagined that even a little leader guarding the corner gate would So calm?
Not only that, when she personally led Fan's cronies to go up and try to overturn the simple fence, she was shocked to find that these soldiers of the Dragon Army who stayed behind at the corner gate were well-organized and all of them were extraordinary... It was really an extra plus of organization. Everyone is extraordinary... These people are in groups of three or four, all armed with long guns, stabbing in rows across the fence to defend, and they walk steadily in the rain, and if there is a slight casualty, there will be a substitute immediately.

Therefore, it was just a fight, and even though she suppressed it a little with her cultivation, Fan Lihua still became more and more panicked.

Of course, that didn't last long.

It was only a quarter of an hour of fighting, and suddenly, across the military camp and fortifications, an unprecedented wave of cheers rose into the sky, completely suppressing the sound of the rain and the chaotic scene at the last moment before evening.

Although I don't know exactly what's going on?

Fan Lihua still realized that her sneak attack had completely lost its meaning, her face turned pale for a moment, she only glanced at the general who was sitting still, and then whistled, then turned around and dived into the rainwater.

The rest of the tribe had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

After the person left for a while, seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Zhang Jinshu opened his mouth slowly in the rain, and finally called out the name of his confidant: "Da Liang, what do you think the front is cheering for?"

"I don't know." The soldier leader sat down on the muddy ground, covering his face with his hands. "Maybe he caught Zhang Xuguo? Or did he kill Yu Baimei?"

Zhang Jinshu nodded, and in a moment of courage, he stood up.

So far, in any case, this battle should be completely over.
