Chapter 314 Tiger Row (15)

When it was daylight, the ground was still frozen stiff.

The morning fog was inexplicably heavy.

But at night, the officers and soldiers on Tushan, who had been specially reminded by the camp, immediately realized that something was wrong, because they realized that the morning fog was only in the direction of the dragon bandit camp in front, but it was relatively light behind, and then the garrison general Guo Shiping immediately made a decision Judgment - The dragon thief is cooking breakfast in a way that is far beyond the usual scale. The fog that pervades around the Qipan camp and the nearby Banxian County is actually the green smoke and water vapor during cooking.

The news was quickly sent back to the Mamianhe camp behind him, and the atmosphere in the camp became tense.

It's very simple, after guessing that Chen Bin, the supervisor of the army, had defected to the enemy yesterday, everyone guessed that since he knew all the secrets of the army, he would definitely reveal everything for the thieves to look for opportunities to fight.Facing this possibility, Xue Changxiong also took advantage of the opportunity to inform everyone about the fact that Biedong was a teacher, and sent envoys to find Gao Zhan and Xue Wanbi last night.

At that time, everyone also guessed that the dragon thief would probably take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to search for the other divisions and look for opportunities to fight.

Including the advance reminder on the earth mountain, it is also a normal military precaution based on this.

However, at this moment, when the signal representing the war really came back, the Mamianhe camp was still caught in some kind of indignation, puzzlement, fear, and panic.

"This thieves really confessed the matter of partiality to the teacher! This is the sale of the entire Hejian camp!" Xue Changxiong was so angry that he couldn't help shouting in the big tent of the Chinese army. "How dare he?!"

No one responded to him.

And after a while, under the urging of Murong Zhengyan, the confidential officers in the big tent quickly got busy, because it was actually discussed before, if the dragon thief sent troops to leave, the Mamianhe camp here would also send troops quickly , and they are going to come out with all their strength, ready to attack the chessboard battalion as a drag.

And such a large-scale dispatch of troops, from the deployment of military supplies to the most basic breakfast, including the beating of drums to gather the generals, one after another, is not a troublesome thing, but a troublesome thing... How can it be stopped because of the emotional roar of the coach? Woolen cloth?

On the contrary, several Zhonglang generals were hiding at the side of the open big tent door, hearing this, they couldn't help chattering to each other with the turmoil in the camp and the sound of drums in their ears.

"I've been thinking about it all night and I haven't figured it out, why would Chen Sima...Chen Bin...Chen thief turn against the water?" Zhong Lang spread Wang Yu's hands, but changed his address three times in a row before finishing the sentence, and his face was pale. Bai, as if he really didn't understand. "In terms of position, he is the supervisor of the army, and even supervises the general for the court; in terms of power and responsibility, he is under one person in the army and above ten thousand; in terms of cronies... the general regards him as a confidant."

"A confidant can't compare to a son." Another Zhonglang general, Dou Pi, said with a dark face. "Thinking about it now, Fourth Brother Xue disrespected Chen Sima too much, as if Chen Sima was his family's slave! Now that Bai Sanniang defeated the Youzhou Army overnight, it is normal for him to be afraid of fleeing. "

Dou Pi was born in the Guanlong family, but he is not a direct descendant, and he came with Xue Changxiong after the defeat of the Three Crusades.

"Actually, Chen Sima also wanted to humiliate himself." Wang Changxie rubbed his hands and sighed. "He doesn't love himself and is used to flattery, so he is regarded as a domestic slave by others. Xue Wanbi repeatedly reprimanded him in public, but he just blindly flattered him in front of the general, and he didn't have the duty of supervising the army. That's why he was a little bit bullied. Go up."

Zhang Shirang next to him was a bit more mature, and it didn't sound right at this time, and seeing Wang Yu's face getting more and more ugly, he quickly interjected: "It's because his family doesn't have basic loyalty, and he doesn't want to be a good official. To be a thief is the biggest reason for this matter!"

Everyone nodded, saying that General Zhang was right.

Immediately afterwards, everyone talked again, but they also talked about Wang Fubei. At this time, they can all understand... Zhonglang, a local powerful man in Hebei, only knows how to fight but not flattery. The consumption of war will be reversed if it is reversed.

While talking, the water vapor above the Mamianhe camp became more and more obvious, and at this time, near the Chinese army tent that had not been fully lit, the long gathering of generals and drums finally finished.

Everyone flashed into the account with their own thoughts.

After entering, Xue Wanquan, the youngest of the Xue family's sons, began to read the roll call with dark circles under his eyes, and then the first one got stuck-theoretically, he was higher than Chen Bin, and he was the only one in the camp right now. Qian Tang, the governor of Zhengzheng, did not appear.

In the silence, an ominous premonition swept over everyone.

Xue Wanquan turned his head to look at his own father, but he saw Xue Changxiong lying on the main seat covered with a tiger skin in the middle, with one hand resting on his forehead, the other holding down the straight knife, and one foot sticking out, kicking the tiger He just kept silent, not knowing whether he was angry or calm.

"Go and search Mr. Qian's camp." It was Murong Zhengyan who spoke.

The guards left in a hurry, but how could they come back after a while?The tent fell into a stiff atmosphere again.

"Continue..." Xue Changxiong's movements remained unchanged, but he moved a finger on his forehead, and finally spoke.

The roll call continued, and this time there were no fewer people, which was a bit of a relief.

"Father, the remaining ten Zhonglang generals are all there, and there are two internal historians, four..." Xue Wanquan immediately reported.

"Okay." Xue Changxiong waved his hand on the tiger skin to signal. "I have a clue in my heart... The Youzhou Army collapsed, General Han couldn't catch up in Leling, Wang Fubei should have surrendered, there are 2 of our elites in the partial division, plus the previous casualties... probably there are still left. [-] to [-] warriors, two Chengdans, six Condensed Pills, and ten generals, right?"

"Yes." Xue Wanquan also put down the roster in his hand.

"General Murong." Xue Changxiong still lay still, and went to see Murong Zhengyan again. "Tell me, if the thief is bolder, how many soldiers will he send to eat our partial division?"

"If I lead the army, I will send twice as many." Murong Zhengyan thought for a while, and immediately gave an answer. "Use the plan to quickly defeat the front and expand the results of the victory."

"Thirty-six thousand up." Xue Changxiong sighed. "The key is that the matter is too hasty. I don't know how many Dengzhou troops are here... But it is estimated that at least [-] people will stay behind in person, right?"

"A little more than 2 to [-]?" Dou Pi's face was a little ugly. "I couldn't do it before, can I do it now?"

"Not the same." Xue Changxiong replied without hesitation. "In the past, they could gather the entire army of practitioners and form a large formation to fight against us. Now that they are going to quickly take down the partial divisions, they will definitely take away most of the masters...so it doesn't matter, because I will personally fight."

Everyone's expressions softened slightly.

But another Zhonglang general, Wang Changxie, hesitated for a while, and took the initiative to say: "General, the brother of the last general is in the side of the division, so the final general will not hide his secrets in this battle, and he will fully support the attack on the enemy camp." ...However, the final general still has to ask, what if the thief is determined to eat the side teacher and then turn back? What if the thief has the determination to fight and retreat, and even give up the entire camp and retreat to the county seat? manage?"

Xue Changxiong was silent for a moment, and answered seriously: "Then just do what you want, anyway, today we will fight to the end! If he doesn't return to the army, I will continue to destroy the county and county, so that they have no place to stand at all!"

Wang Changxie nodded: "That's the only way to go."

Xue Changxiong also nodded, and then he still asked on the tiger skin: "Everyone, there are some things that everyone discussed very clearly last night, but I got very angry for Chen thief yesterday, and I couldn't feel at ease for a long time. I haven't made a summary and issued a military order. , Now I can explain it clearly... In the current situation, Chen Bin must have sold the partial teacher, so the culprit will go to attack the partial teacher in all likelihood, and when we wait for the thief to move, we will also move and mobilize the whole army Attacking the bandit village in front of you, does anyone have anything to say about this military strategy?"

No one speaks any more on this issue.

"That's good." Xue Changxiong finally sat upright and continued to speak. "If this is the case, let me add one more sentence. This battle is already a decisive battle. I will personally be the vanguard as a master. You only need to follow me. And if I break a stronghold, whoever will not be able to fight against me?" Entering a village to accompany me is regarded as hiding power, so don't blame me for not showing any kindness! It's just that it was difficult to deal with it in the army for a while, and even lost news after the war, but once you let him I found it, and I can always come up with a result! I don't believe that everyone is Chen Bin, they are all the Nanchen royal family, and they can't be killed!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

In the end, it was Murong Zhengyan who tried to surrender and restore the atmosphere.

However, at this moment, the guards who had left in a hurry came back and brought back a piece of news——Qian Tang, the governor of Pingyuan County, and his newly appointed deputy captain, Lu Changheng, may have disappeared since last night, because they had disappeared early in the morning. No one sees them.

"In vain, I thought this was a clear person." Xue Changxiong nodded, noncommittal, just urging the whole army to eat and prepare earlier, while he himself continued to lie down on the tiger skin without saying a word.

The remaining two sons take care of him.

On the other side, in the Chessboard Battalion of the Dragon Army opposite, Zhang Xing was holding a bowl and talking to the clear man: "After the division of troops last night, I almost thought you would not come, but you still did."

"So what's the matter? You just pretend to sleep there and won't get up." Qian Tang, who was also eating and even shared a plate of pickles, was a bachelor. "What if you don't come? Today, the Hejian Camp will be defeated. If you don't come, your life will be lost."

"Did you hear why Sanniang just came here?" Zhang Xing took a sip of porridge and asked something incoherent.

"There must be." Qian Tang was still frank. "If Bai Sanniang doesn't come, in my opinion, although you will still choose to attack the camp face to face, it may not be able to defeat a grand master of the others. I don't think you can survive."

"But you survived in such a winter, from a county guard who controlled most of the county, all the way to the point where there were no soldiers, not even half of the city, the big boss might not be able to give it to you." Zhang Xingyi said. .

"The contribution to Chen Sima is really small." Qian Tang picked up the plate of pickles, poured them into his own bowl, mixed them, and drank them in one gulp, before putting down the bowl and saying. "But Lu Changheng has sent you so much critical information, so you should explain it to him."

"He already said something before he left." Zhang Xing was noncommittal.

"So, Mr. Qian is not Zhang Longtou's eyeliner, but the Deputy Captain Lu next to Mr. Qian?" Chen Bin, who was listening intently, couldn't bear it, and interjected to ask.

"I have no less than four or five strong eyeliners in the opposite camp." Zhang Xing turned around and smiled, but did not directly answer the other party's question.

It's not easy for Chen Bin to ask.

After a while, when everyone had finished their meal, they ordered the generals, put on their clothes neatly, and prepared to dispatch troops. According to Zhang Xing's decision, since they didn't care about anything, the whole army had to dispatch.

Among them, Bai Yousi, Wang Zhen, Meng Yigui, Chang Ling, including Wang Fubei and his subordinates all came from Pingchang, so we won't mention it on the way.

According to the plan, the remaining Wei Xuanding (Guo Jingke), Gao Shitong, Zhai Qian, Zhang Shanxiang, Xu Kaitong, Cheng Mingqi, Tang Bairen, Fan Bao, Xiahou Ningyuan, Dou Lide, Hao Yide, Zhuge Dewei, Fan Wang, and Lu Hongyue led the [-]th Battalion The soldiers, together with Ma Ping'er who just arrived, temporarily led Sun Xuanzhi to the old department, totaling fifteen battalions.

Three to five ranks, as the main force, has already taken place in the second half of the chessboard battalion.

Immediately, the three big leaders Wang Shuyong, Shan Tonghai, and Cheng Zhili lined up at intervals in the third row of camps ahead.

Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Shang Huai'en, and the Huaixi soldiers led by his assistant Bo Shi made a total of four battalions, which were considered directly under Zhang Xingping. .

As for Wang Xiongdan and Jia Runshi, they only took the battalion led by Zhang Xing himself and prepared around the general platform.

In addition, Liu Zhouchen led the main battalion and Xiong Bonan's battalion to spread out at the end of the camp at this time, preparing to accompany them as a supervisor.

The soldiers and horses of the 25th Battalion are indeed going to be exhausted.

But the strange thing is that none of the battalions has yet raised their flags.

Also, Yan Qing and Zheng Ting, according to the military order, actually had to lead the auxiliary soldiers and garrison soldiers to follow them, as a backup in case of emergency.Of course, what Zhang Xing didn't know was that Dou Lide's wife, Mrs. Cao, and daughter, Dou Xiaoniang, were all dressed up and ready to accompany them... They probably valued this battle more than anyone else.

As for Zhang Dalongtou himself, he has already moved to the general platform at this time, and has gathered his bodyguards and some of the elite practitioners, Xiong Bonan, Xu Shiren, Wu Jingfeng, Xie Minghe, including the newly descended Qian Tang and Chen Bin , all in it.

Of course, the general on the opposite side of Tushan saw this scene clearly, and he kept reporting back early.

In fact, the official army camp is also making intensive preparations.

But at this moment, Bai Yousi led [-] Dengzhou troops and [-] Wang Fubei troops approaching from the east.

The official army probably found out the strength of the army, and even passed it back at the first time... To be honest, the army strength made the army camp a little relieved, but it was hard to understand the collapse of the Youzhou army.

"No matter what." Murong Zhengyan pulled himself together and tried to take responsibility. "The situation is almost as expected... The bandit army has left seven battalions in front, plus five thousand Dengzhou reinforcements, which is almost [-], and one or two battalions will be left in the city. Attrition, the troops they went to attack the partial division were similar to what we thought... The only surprise was Wang Fubei. I didn't expect Wang Fubei to be in Pingchang, and they dared to use Wang Fubei, a man who had just surrendered, to fight .”

"This is a good thing." Xue Changxiong felt a little relieved. "Finally there are no other accidents. As for Wang Fubei, wouldn't it be better to deal with it on the battlefield?"

Murong Zhengyan also nodded: "So, are we going to send troops too?"

"Okay!" Xue Changxiong responded immediately.

"Tell Chief Bai." Almost at the same time, Zhang Xing suddenly turned his head and ordered. "Tell her not to come, just take Wang Zhen and Wang Fubei to the Mamianhe camp from the flank, save some time, just meet at the front."

The messenger jumped out immediately, and flew eastward as if flying.

"Order the ministries to raise the flag immediately." Zhang Xing turned around and ordered. "Wait for my handsome flag to pass first, and follow along in the order laid out."

The surrounding generals roared.

A few moments later, Guo Shiping, a general of the Hejian Camp on duty on the earth mountain, saw a rare scene in his life—including the red-bottomed "抱" flag, dozens of battalion flags and general flags followed by a drum. They both stood up together.

Then, something happened that made him feel even more terrified. After the flag was lit up, the "Depose" flag, which represented the position of the opponent's coach, did not go to the Douzigang behind him as expected. Looking at the "space" in the chessboard camp, he came to himself.

Guo Shiping was stunned for more than ten breaths, until the guards at his side grabbed him and pointed to the east. He looked far away and clearly saw the [-] Dengzhou reinforcements who were going to the camp plus the king. Fubei's two thousand soldiers also turned to the north.

After General Guo understood it, he felt that his blood was about to freeze.

He hastily ordered and let the messenger deliver the information, but he could only be at a loss on the dirt hill—he thought he was a surveillance outpost, but he didn't expect to be the first to bear the brunt.

The 25th Battalion of the Bandit Army plus [-] reinforcements were all sent out, and they came straight down. What should I do with the [-] soldiers on these hills?
Amidst the panic, the dethrone flag had already appeared in the first row of camps, and then he saw with his naked eyes that the thief Shou Zhangxing had released the ice zhenqi that had been released in the previous three zhenqi battles.

Where to start?
Or do you want to save face like this?
Guo Shiping was even more terrified, only felt that the cold air had already circled his neck after such a long distance!

On the dirt hill, soldiers have already begun to flee.

After a while, under the banner of "解", the momentum was not weak in the slightest. The great formation of ice true energy shown in the previous battle formation was completed, leading a battalion of obviously capable bandits behind him slowly approaching. At the same time, the camps on both sides In the village, Jia Ziqi and Zhou Ziqi moved together, and they went straight to the front of the earth mountain... After fighting for many days, Guo Shiping knew well that they were the two battalions led by the thieves Jia Yue and Zhou Xingfan.

These are all troops directly under the thief's first Zhangsan.

And as the bandits at the front of the two battalions moved forward, Fu and Shang in the second row behind them; Wang, Shan, and Cheng in the third row; Press it.

The marching drums had already been overwhelmed by the overwhelming shouts, and in the almost noisy sound waves, Guo Shiping also witnessed for the third time this morning a scene that shocked him from the bottom of his heart—the armor shining in the morning sun in early spring. The brilliance, the weapons are layered like a forest, and the horses marched neatly along the ridges between the camps. The entire chessboard camp of the bandit army rolled up like the waves of the Bohai Sea.

And oneself is the first target.

With this in mind, Guo Shiping didn't hesitate, got on his horse and fled directly.

The Tushan defense line, which was too far ahead, quickly collapsed and was lost under the absolute superiority of troops and the obvious decisive battle situation.

Without bloodshed, Zhang Xingbing rode a yellow pussy horse through the gaps in the earth mountains, and saw the Hebei Great Plains that had been covered by the earth mountains for several days.

"He came at me?"

At this time, Xue Changxiong, who had just finished dressing up, questioned the messenger again almost instinctively before he got on his horse.

But no one answered him, because the others were also stunned, and there was no need to answer him. Before the Mamianhe camp, up to the earth mountain, it was empty and clean. It was a good battlefield for the decisive battle. The morning sun was shining brightly, and the fog As soon as they were gone, some strange movements could already be seen from afar.

On the other end, Zhang Xing crossed the earth mountain, lowered his head, and stared blankly for a while——he was attracted by a strange green color, and on the side of the gentle slope behind the rammed earth mountain, there was a piece of soil with an obviously abnormal color Among them, several millet seedlings grow vigorously mixed with weeds in order to welcome the spring.

After watching for a while, Zhang Xing turned his head and calmly ordered: "Burn the board houses on the earth hill, and let all the ministries march from the gap between the earth hills."

After finishing speaking, he didn't hold back his true anger, so he rode forward.The army behind him is like a fierce tiger coming out of the guard, gushing out from the gap between the earth and mountains, and rushing straight to the official army camp in the north.

And behind them, on the remaining four large and one small earth hills, a raging torch suddenly burned, and the 25th Battalion arrived at the battlefield as if they had passed through a huge fire gate.

Ps: Thanks to the new leader, Mr. Andy, I am very grateful.
