Chapter 287

Under the banner of Xue Zi, just as the two Zhonglang generals who had fled thought, Xue Wanliang regards the ten thousand soldiers as the foundation, and even more as the reliance in front of his brothers, and the value in front of his father is simply seeing the coffin No tears.

In fact, the young manager was beaten, bled, and stumbled before he regained his composure, knowing that his life is the most important thing this time.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Shan Tonghai and Wang Shuyong arrived first. Since the two came in by surprise, they naturally learned from their subordinates that there is a Xue Ziqi here, and that Xue Changxiong has a son who is the chief general here. If they want to make great contributions to this person... It's not good to hear, even if it's a big boss, if you don't have credit, it's not good to speak up when making a decision... So, when the two came up, they were ruthless. Xue Wanliang of the army shot over from his horse on the spot, and then Shan Tonghai rushed to him, stabbing down with Duanjiang's zhenqi in a volley, directly stabbing the opponent's shoulder.

Rao is Xue Wanliang who is a master of alchemy, has the true energy to protect the body, and was caught off guard, and was directly injured and broke the defense. In the end, he threw himself on the ground several times before trying to stand up, and then panicked again.

However, at this time, without waiting for Shan and Wang to make another move, I saw a flash of light in the air again, and after a while, two more people landed - one with a bow and a spear. Xu Shiren, the hero of Lu County, and the other person is actually Jia Yue. The four of them took their positions and surrounded the injured Xue Wanliang.

The two big bosses who arrived first looked at each other, and there was no surprise, but a little helplessness.

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhen, Jia Yue, Niu Da, and even Zhai Qian, including the accompanying Fubo Shi, it is expected that any of these people have condensed pills.

They even suspected for a long time that these people should be about the same... In fact, judging by Jia Yue's level of manipulation of zhenqi, they should have been congealed for a while.

Sure enough, as soon as his thoughts turned around, another person leaped down with a stream of light. Although it was obviously strenuous, it was undoubtedly in the form of congealing a pill. Niu Da, who is almost the same, has finally caught up half a step now.

Seeing this shape, the leaders of the Dragon Gang hadn't said any auspicious words such as congratulations to Gao Sheng, but Xue Wanliang, who was hit by an arrow and shot by a spear, was the first to collapse... With his appearance, how can he be the same as the five Ningdans? When Cheng Dan tried to fight again, he simply bowed his head and surrendered.

Several people were not used to it, Jia Yue stepped forward and broke the person's limbs according to the rules, then Niu Da cut off the flagpole with a knife, and then Xu Shiren, a master of alchemy, directly dragged Xue Wanliang to jump up and returned to Zhang Xing's flag, and the rest of them went Respectively return to the formation and continue to command.

The small episode represents the official victory of the already irreparable war.

However, this does not mean the end of the war itself.

It must be known that no matter how fierce the battle is, it is impossible to cause much real damage in just an hour across the fence and wearing armor.In other words, nearly [-] officers and soldiers are still alive even though they are defeated at this time, and the army survives even though they are defeated, and they still maintain the desire to escape and their full ability to act on their own.

However, this doesn't seem to be a good thing for them, as they quickly find themselves in a very bad and bloody new situation for it.

Let's just say that the officers and soldiers were surrounded on three sides, then quickly defeated, and then lost command, which led to a total collapse in an instant.But at the same time, their camp is quite strong, and the inside and outside are clearly layered.Therefore, when the defeated soldiers knew that the east was a trap, but still swarmed and fled, it was inevitable that they would encounter blockages in the inner passage of the camp and at the east exit.

After the blockage, comes the stampede.

The former is desperate, while the latter is bloody and cruel, and even makes people forget the despair.

The officers and soldiers were crowded together, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons of friendly soldiers were no longer their support and protection. On the contrary, once they were pushed down, their own armor would in turn become a burden that prevented them from getting up, and the naked soldiers The blade will not distinguish between the enemy and the friend, and becomes the most direct cause of death.

What's more terrible is that, as the Huaixi soldiers came from the rear with long swords and spears, the outer army obviously received a new unified order and invaded the camp wantonly... Panicked, the officers and soldiers quickly broke out on the battlefield again. The fire broke out, and it was out of control.These obviously rogue-like officers and soldiers immediately evolved into small teams according to their establishment, region or personal relationship. Those without a group would fight on their own. They would rather kill their comrades who were also heavily armed than go back Face to face with those Huaixi soldiers who actually only have 1000 people.

In stark contrast were the soldiers from Huaixi and the troops from various ministries who poured in from three sides. They also quickly realized the problem.Under the command of the officers, the former began to consciously drive and intersperse along the passage, while the latter controlled the camp while concentrating on crossbows and skirmishers to deal with the officers and soldiers who tried to escape from the fences and gaps in the trenches.

This made the collapsed official army further plunged into the quagmire of life and death.

It's really like some kind of quagmire.

The sun at noon in winter, the flying dust, the pungent blood, the chaotic wails, the friction and reflection of the blades and armor, plus the distant shouts of the long weapons of the peripheral Huaixi soldiers advancing, the sky The streamers that come and go from time to time, the fence that has been crumbling and even repeatedly pushed and pulled but never collapsed, all stimulated the senses of everyone present.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows up, and the scene becomes even more murky.

In this case, whether it is escaping or surrendering, it becomes difficult, because order and so on are all gone.

"Third brother."

A burst of green light flashed, and Xu Shiying leaped from the side and rear of a camp in the southwest of the camp, and landed directly on the big banner with the word "解". He glanced at Xue Wanliang who was thrown aside like a rag. Afterwards, he immediately informed him of the reason for his visit. "At the east gate, the group of people fleeing in front should be local young men and women who were robbed. They were all terrified and couldn't be closed. I asked Guo Jingke to open a hole and let them escape..."

"No problem." Zhang Xing, who had already received his supernatural powers, just sat in a daze on Huang Puma's horse. Hearing this, he simply nodded, and beside him, the coldness seemed to have not disappeared. "You decide."

"But there is a problem." Xu Shiying continued. "These men and women must not be let go by someone with good intentions, I'm afraid some people are hiding here specially."

"It's okay." Zhang Xing was still straightforward. "Xue Wanliang was arrested, Zhuge Yang was targeted by Wu Dalang, ten thousand officers and men were locked up, and at most one escaped... Who is the other?"

"Wang Qi." Xu Shiying reminded immediately. "According to the scouts and captives, it should be Wang Qi, one of the eighteen generals of the Hejian camp."

"Yes, that's him." Zhang Xing suddenly understood. "Go to the east gate and keep an eye on it. Do your best. Just see if you can catch Wang Qi. It doesn't matter if you don't... Try to release innocent people."

Xu Shiying nodded again, but did not leave in a hurry, but continued to ask in a low voice: "Third brother, are these 1 people going to kill Liwei?"

Xu Shiren, a master of alchemy who had just turned back with the captives, couldn't help pricking up his ears.

Zhang Xing thought about it for a while, and it was obviously a lot more serious, but he turned his head and took it seriously: "I don't have that intention, at least I didn't intend to kill people, who is not a murderer... but I don't specifically recruit and appoint people for nothing. In the past, with so many rebels, do we still have a shortage of soldiers in Hebei? Just do what you want, with the aim of reducing wastage, saving energy, and ensuring the supplies in the camp, and try to be as thorough as possible.”

Xue Wanliang, whose mouth was full of dust lying on the floor, was relieved and a little apprehensive.

And Xu Shiying suddenly realized, nodded and left.

The meaning of Zhang Dalongtou is actually very simple. Liwei needs to stand up. From all angles, there is no reason to let go of the opponent, but there is no need to deliberately slaughter for Liwei. Human life is human life... In this case, Xu Shiying Outside the gap, the terrain is open, and it is no problem to choose to accept when faced with the inevitable surrender.

On the other hand, these people were blocked and trampled, unable to escape from the camp and enter the open area to surrender.

And such a calm attitude also made Xu Shiren, the hero of Lu County who was listening on the sidelines, calm on the surface, and felt a little dazed in his heart... Hero Xu is not an uninformed person, but he has been in the center for a long time, but he will inevitably follow the mainstream opinion to dispel the chaos of the past two years The rebels in the book belong to the so-called "bandit" nature.Even if the Dragon Gang took all the eight counties of Jishui, which shocked him greatly, he chose to return to his hometown because of this, but he still looked down on the younger generation of the villagers like himself in his bones.

He even vaguely felt that the troubled times had just begun, and the arrow shot out the head bird. This messy gang might just be a flash appetizer.

However, when he got home, he discovered that the Dragon Gang is a gang on the surface, but the internal system is strict. A "accompany" for the battle across the river.But when crossing the great river, I watched helplessly that the army system was organized, and the troops rushed to fight for a day, and there was no trouble.Next, the younger generations were surging again, and talents emerged in large numbers.In the end, with such a big victory, the coach and deputy coach were actually stable in mind and dealt with it simply.

How could it be possible not to touch this hero?

To put it bluntly, for Xu Shiren, even if he doesn't come back, he is still with the army, isn't he just the opposite Zhuge Yang?Thinking that facing this group of young people, he was defeated in an hour and gambled his life alone in an afternoon, it seemed ridiculous to hide his self-respect before.

Of course, this is Xu Daxia's overreaction. Not to mention a year and a half ago, half a year ago, the leaders of the Dragon Gang were still a group of local tyrants. It can be said that the war is too tough, and everyone in the Dragon Gang has survived a joint.

Moreover, with the development of the current situation, the speed of disintegration and the intensity of war in the whole world will enter a new stage. Under the urging of the leadership, the Dragon Clan quickly entered Hebei, just taking the lead. The intensity and scale of the war will increase significantly.

The killing continued, Xu Shiying got Zhang Xingyan's words, and he started arbitrarily at the east gate, letting the local young and strong children who escaped first, let these civilians escape by themselves, and was going to wait for deserters in armor to intercept them and force them to surrender .

However, it may be that the Hejian army captured a large number of civilians. After a full quarter of an hour, the civilians were still not exhausted. Instead, a large group of reinforcements arrived behind them.

Without him, Xiong Bonan successfully persuaded Fan Daqiu to bring the rebel army back to this direction. However, the Hebei rebel army never expected that the battle would progress so quickly. When they arrived, let alone fighting, I'm afraid they won't be able to intervene even in the pursuit of deserters.

But as soon as he turned around, the winter wind blew up, swirling the dust, and the bloody quagmire inside the gate could be vaguely seen.

"Is your Excellency General Fan?"

At this time, regardless of the movement in the distant gate, Xu Shiying took the initiative to step forward on the horse, greeted with a smile, and even imitated someone on the horse and stretched out his hands.

Fan Wang was taken aback for a moment, thought it was some custom in the Eastern Realm, and quickly stretched out his hand, but at the moment when he took advantage of the trend and hung up his weapon, he realized something.

The two shook hands, and Xiong Bonan immediately came over to introduce him.

It was only at this time that Fan Wang realized that this person was Xu Dalang, who had long been famous on the river. It was said that he was the top three figure among the leaders of the Dragon Clan, and even had a faint tendency to oppose the two leaders. Such sincerity, coupled with the interaction with Xiong Bonan, can't help but feel that there is no one worthy of a reputation, he is worthy of being a hero in the world, and at the same time, he has to be careful with his words.

Of course, be careful. After exchanging pleasantries, Fan Daqiu couldn't help but ask for confirmation: "According to what the scouts said, 2 Hejian troops guarded the camp, and [-] Dulong troops surrounded them to fight. It only took an hour. Did it win?"

"A few officers and soldiers are nothing to worry about." Xu Shiying smiled right away. "Your brothers did settle the situation in an instant. It's just a pity that Zhuge Yang is a master of alchemy after all. Although he is entangled by Chief Wu, he doesn't know if he can be caught and make up for it."

Fan Daqiu was stunned, thought for a while, and then asked again: "How many Zhonglang generals have come to Hejian this time? Besides Zhuge Yang, who else?"

"It should be three." Xu Shiying said calmly. "Zhuge Yang, Xue Wanliang, and Wang Heqi."

"Exactly." Hearing the names of the three, Fan Wang immediately nodded and asked cautiously. "These three are all alchemy masters, and Zhuge Yang is a master of alchemy... Are they all easy to catch?"

"Xue Wanliang has been captured, and now my leader is eating dirt with a broken leg." Xu Shiying still smiled rightly. "The leader Wu who is following Zhuge Yang is Wu Dalang Wu Jingfeng, who is known as the fastest in the world. With him, at least there is no need to worry that Zhuge Yang can fly away without seeing the head and tail. As for that Wang Qi..."

At this point, Xu Shiying seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped talking, then only held hands, turned her head, but stared at the direction of the west camp exit.

It turned out that while they were talking, those local young and strong children who had been taken captive had almost fled at last, and they were panicked deserters with armor still on their bodies.However, between the ordinary civilians and the rout soldiers in armor, dozens of shirtless and strong men suddenly appeared.

Some of these people have been injured, and almost all of them are covered with dust and sweat. There are also some clothes on their bodies, but they are made of better materials, and some places without burning ash are too clean. He wore a dirty cloth, but it didn't fit well.

Xu Shiying looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but look at his future brother-in-law Xiong Bonan on the other side.

Xiong Bonan also reacted, but with a whistle, he personally led Xu Shiying's personal guards on horseback.

As a result, before the people came to the front, suddenly, one of the shirtless men suddenly used his true energy and jumped up, but was bumped into the air by the Xiong Tianwang who had been prepared for a long time, and hit him solidly in mid-air. , the purple light flashed, and the man was also smashed to the ground.

Fan Dachen was stunned, but Xu Shiying responded with a smile: "Thanks to General Fan, Wang Qi shouldn't be able to run away...Since everything is fine, it's fine, I'll take the general to see my leader, Make a recommendation for the general."

No matter how dare Fan Wang said nothing, he was only obedient, so Xu Shiying held one hand, reined in his horse, went around the camp, and went to look for Zhang Xing from the southwest.

However, it may be due to exhaustion due to the time delay, or it may be that the arrival of a large number of reinforcements made the officers and soldiers lose the courage to escape, or it may even be related to Wang Qi being discovered and then knocked down by Xiong Bonan in public. At this time, the army finally began to gradually give up the stampede and internal strife... and when Xu Shiying led Fan Wang around the battlefield, the remaining Hejian officers and soldiers chose to surrender on a large scale.

When he arrived under the banner of "拍", Wang Qi was caught by Xiong Bonan, and he took him over first, and even took Xu Shiren away, and went to find Wu Jingfeng and Wu Changzai together to help .

Only Zhang Dalongtou was left there to decide life and death with one word.

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Zhang Xing smiled at Wang Qi who was lying on the ground and trying to raise his head. "If your name is Xue Changxiong, I can still talk to you... But you are only one of the eighteen generals in the Hejian camp. Now you have been defeated and your limbs have been broken. You are just meat on a pallet... ...Besides, as a general of Zhonglang, you allow your subordinates to plunder without restraint, don't you know the rules of our Dragon Gang?"

"Is it going to be whipped to death? We generals don't have to be whipped to death, right?" Wang Qi ignored the pain and the ashes in his mouth, just sweating profusely on the ground, fighting for leniency. "Zhang Longtou, since you want to come to Hebei to gain a foothold, you have to care about Hebei heroes..."

"The heroes of Hebei have turned their backs a long time ago." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Being an officer is also worthy of being called a local hero?"

"The [-] to [-] elites of the Hejian Camp..." Wang Qi immediately changed his rhetoric.

"Five to sixty thousand." Zhang Xing corrected. "After today, there are only fifty or sixty thousand."

"But I see that you 2 people may not be really good, it's just a gathering of masters, and you can win quickly." At this moment, Xue Wanliang, who didn't listen well, finally opened his mouth. He was also lying there talking, and it was really difficult. , but dare not stop for a moment. "As for my Hejian Camp, my father was already the grandmaster last year, and there are twenty or thirty masters of alchemy and alchemy."

"I'm afraid there won't be so many after today." Zhang Xing continued to laugh.

"But it's still multiple times better than yours!" Xue Wanliang shouted. "If you kill me and take revenge on my father, how can you stop it?"

"We have seven alchemy masters and fifteen alchemy masters." Zhang Xing blurted out, making nonsense exaggerations. "Even if it's obviously weaker than Hejian Daying, it's still enough to protect itself... at worst, leave the territory behind and just retreat."

Even though he was lying on the ground, Xue Wanliang was obviously taken aback, and it was Wang Qi who said, "Then why did the Dragon Gang come to Hebei? Is it worth it to spend money, food, and labor?"

"You are the subordinates of Bao Wei, the thieves against the sky, and the bandits of the remnants of the people; while our Dragon Clan is the righteous army of Shuntian, and the heroes who save the people." Zhang Xing answered boldly. "Using the rebel army to attack the bandit army, how can you not come because there is a river across? Countless selfish and distracting thoughts, life and death are not willing to move."

Wang Qi froze on the spot, and Xue Wanliang didn't say a word, just like Fan Dacloak who was still being dragged by one hand behind Zhang Xing.

As for Xu Shiying, she already regretted not bringing a pen and paper.

And Zhang Xing was still talking on Huang Piao's horse: "Xue Wanliang, Wang Qi, you two don't make yourself ugly, if you are really afraid of Xue Changxiong and Hejian Daying, why should I go out of my way to kill these ten thousand people today?" Soldiers? Hejian Daying, I will definitely pull it out, and Xue Changxiong will also be punished. As for the two of you, one is a descendant of the Xue family, and the other is a local tyrant, but neither of you has any means of governing the army. The remnant people came to bribe the sergeant. The rules of our dethroning the Dragon Gang are set here. No matter what, we will never let you go. After the surrender, you will be beheaded together to show the public. If Zhuge Yang is caught, he will Be so."

Wang Qi remained silent, but it was Xue Wanliang who, realizing that he was going to die, struggled on the dusty and blood-stained ground, and when he realized that he couldn't make it, he cursed again: "You bastard! Zuo son-in-law, why don't you let the heavens save your life, don't you think I don't understand you, don't you just work for Yingying to rob Hebei? It sounds so good!"

Zhang Xing is still not angry, just came to laugh: "You are also a master of alchemy, and you should have heard that some masters of alchemy can explode the sea of ​​​​qi after releasing the sea of ​​​​qi... Although there will still be ten deaths by then. , but it is enough to borrow three points of the world's energy, and it will be unimpeded for a while... If you are really dissatisfied, why don't you lie there and smash the sea of ​​​​qi, and then jump up to have a life and death with me? Just scolding there is ridiculous."

Xue Wanliang became more angry when he heard the words, and the scolding in his mouth became more and more unbearable, while Wang Qi remained silent.

At this time, Xu Shiying really couldn't listen anymore, so she let go and prepared to dismount.

But at this time, Jia Yue leaped over from the camp in the north, and as soon as he landed, he saw this scene, went straight over, picked up Xue Wanliang's hair, and then took the handle of the knife and smashed it into the opponent's mouth, on the spot He knocked out seven or eight teeth, and then knocked him seven or eight times in a row, until the other party's tongue was rotten, and he cried bitterly, before he stopped.

After the smashing, he let the other party grab the ground with his head and wailing, Jia Yue just got up and cupped his hands, and reported seriously: "Leader, most of the officers and soldiers have already surrendered, but they killed each other and trampled on each other. There are so many wounded. What to do? Do you want to kill him?"

"Smack, why don't you smoke? If you don't smoke, won't it show that we have no rules?" Zhang Xing looked at the other party with a normal expression before and leaped forward with the ice zhenqi, and now he replied even more flatly. "The Hejian army has repeatedly raided Hebei, and they will be severely punished...the three Zhonglang generals will all beheaded to show the public; the officers above the team leader will be drawn once twice, and the soldiers will be drawn once every five times. Let the survivors of the lottery carry them all back to Hejian!"

After saying this, except for Jia Yue's quick promise, the rest of the people shuddered in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhang Xing turned his head and looked at Fan Wang, who had no chance to speak before, changed his smiling face again, and came over on his own initiative, and then grabbed the opponent's hands:
"Boss Fan, I met you in a hurry last time, and I didn't say hello in time, I'm really ashamed."

"I don't know the real dragon with my eyes! Ashamed, ashamed!" Fan Wang said earnestly, clasping his hands.

Zhang Xing immediately said solemnly: "Actually, it's not easy to exchange greetings today... because I've been thinking about something for more than half an hour, and now I have to ask Chief Fan... Tell me, next, let's take Pingyuan or Ander first." Should we stand ready to meet Marshal Gao’s subordinates? Or go west immediately to prevent the Hejian bandits from encircling the east, and let Marshal Gao retreat safely on his own?”

Fan Wang thought for a while, but didn't dare to answer for a while, but instinctively looked at Xu Shiying.

But Xu Dalang also froze in place, just staring at Mr. Zhang in bewilderment--is he still a lot worse?

PS: Good night everyone.
