Chapter 360 River Walk (17)

The battle broke out in the early morning of the [-]th. Prior to this, Shan Tonghai rejected Zhang Xing's military order that Jia Yue take the lead in attacking first, and insisted that he personally lead a partial division to cross the river in the opposite direction, and pounce on the enemy camp as the main attack.

He himself gave two reasons:

First, the reinforcements had just arrived, but they had only rested for half an hour. The division seemed to be tossing and tossing repeatedly, but in fact, it had already rested for most of the night. Compared with the strength, the division was still stronger; second, they built the camp and the location of the shallows. They found out when crossing the river back and forth that they were more familiar with the terrain, not to mention that some fences and trenches were specially destroyed during the retreat this time. The Wei army captured the camp at night and may not have time to repair it. These things are only clear to them.

In this regard, Zhang Xing is of course obedient.

"Shan Dalang, Chang Ling, Liang Jiading, Huang Junhan, and Meng Yigui's five battalions totaled 6000 infantry and cavalry for the main attack. Wu Erlang left the soldiers and horses for Sanniang, and went to keep an eye on Zhao Xingmi." Zhang Xingru changed the military order. "Zhou Xingfan, Liu Heimei, and Fan Bao used one battalion of armored cavalry and two battalions of light cavalry to cross the river from the upper reaches, and went around the west side of the camp to assist in outflanking the attack; the three battalions of Jia Yue, Wang Xiongdan, and Tang Bairen with 4000 men crossed the river and set up on the south bank of the river. Stay, the three battalions of Bai Yousi, Wu Jingfeng, and Xu Shiying and I will not cross the river, but just stand on the north bank of the Bianshui River, and the sixth battalion will stand on the river with horses, take a short rest, and move with the camera..."

This time, everyone had no objection, so they wanted to act.

"And... Shan Dalang." Under the slightly reddish moonlight, Zhang Xing called out to him again. "Don't deliberately seek encirclement and annihilation, simple defeat is enough, and don't get entangled with the other party's alchemy masters. If the other party flees, let them escape, and then use cavalry to pursue and expand the results... We must guard against Sima Zheng who may come from the south bank of Bianshui or The reinforcements coming from the north shore have to be on guard against counterattacks from the camp in Liuxian County!"

"Understood!" Shan Tonghai responded, and left his camp on the north bank of Bianshui for the second time within three days.

In this way, Shan Tonghai, Wu Changzai and others went first, followed by Zhou Xingfan, Liu Heimei, Fan Bao and others, and then Jia Yue, Wang Xiongdan, Tang Bairen went again, and soon it was the turn of Zhang Xing and other Chinese soldiers .

At the moment when he stood up, Zhang Xing looked up at the slightly faded Shuangyue, and suddenly added a military order: "The order is passed on, let Cook Fan abandon Dangshan to take over Feng County, let Shang Huaien abandon Fang Yu and go In Peixian County, let Wang Zhuo of Fengxian County and Niu Da of Peixian County gather their troops and rush to the camp of Liuxian County! Then send people to Li Shu and Fang Yanlang to send all the remaining soldiers and horses of Jinxiang. Give as much as you want, no need to organize the establishment, let Li Shu come in person, and Chen Bin come too!"

Although Bai, Wu, and Xu were a little stunned, none of them said a word. Xu Shiying even presided over the release of the military order immediately. Once the military order was issued, Chief Zhang didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately set off with the troops.

In the early hours of the morning, when it was just dawn, there was no need for anyone to report. Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the north bank of a shoal in Bianshui, heard the shouts of killing from the southwest.

Shan Tonghai has already launched an attack.

"What's going on?" Among the generals who were ordered to defend westward from the south bank of Bian River, Zhao Xingmi, the first Ying Yanglang of the right guard and the left wing, was the highest. , as a master of Chengdan, he noticed the movement, then turned over and sat up, and walked out while asking loudly.

Walking out of the big tent, the shouts of killing were already loud, and a trusted subordinate officer replied in front of him: "General, it seems that a bandit army attacked at night."

"Night attack?" Zhao Xingmi glanced at the sky above his head in surprise, and immediately realized that the other party was right. Although the sky was bright, the double moon was still there, and it was indeed not dawn, but he immediately became dazed again. "At this time, when did they cross the river?"

"Naturally."

"Single access to the sea?"

"Not sure, but who else could it be?"

"This camp is a trap!" Zhao Xingmi woke up after thinking for a while, and quickly ordered. "Decree that all the ministries on the outskirts of the battalion should directly send the general order to the first floor of the team, telling them to guard the camp, not to move without authorization, and wait for rescue, and then send sentry cavalry, one counts one by one, and goes out in all directions to Pengcheng (Xuzhou city) (according to) send a letter asking for help... then go and call Niu Jianjun to come over!"

The guards suddenly agreed, and they were not overly panicked, and Niu Fangsheng, the supervisor, was quickly called over because he was in Zhao Xingmi's army.

"Niu Jianjun." Zhao Xingmi was already more than half dressed in the tent at this time, but he just sat there and spoke. "The thieves are cunning. This camp is deliberately setting up bait... I have ordered to guard and wait for rescue. I am afraid that Sima, Zhang, and Yuan have other ideas, and I am about to fight and support the periphery, so it is not easy to go. Inquire face-to-face, please work harder for Niu Jianjun, communicate in all directions, and only use our Chinese military account as the basis to communicate with each other."

Besides, although Niu Fangsheng has some accomplishments, it is a typical line of literary cultivation, and his family studies are mostly moral, human, literary and legal officials. of.

Such a typical young civil servant and aristocrat couldn't help but panic when he encountered a surprise attack. At this time, although he was a little calm, he still felt a little unreasonable: "General Zhao, if you go to support, you won't be able to see it for a while, and the rest The three generals have different ideas, what should I do?"

Zhao Xingmi was speechless, but this was an urgent time, and it was not easy to laugh at all, so he got up to get his helmet, and said, "Your Excellency is about to restrain them as a supervising army, don't run away without permission, you must stick to it and wait for help! You know, we have been supporting here from the mouth of Surabaya for days and nights, coupled with the severe heat, the soldiers have already exhausted to the limit. I ate it in my mouth!"

Niu Fangsheng finally came to his senses, and when he was about to say something more, Zhao Xingmi, who had finished explaining, picked up a straight knife and went straight out of the tent.Then, with just one leap, a wave of sea-blue true energy was rolled up, just like a wave of waves rolled up out of thin air on the land, and it carried him to the air in front of him.

This kind of kung fu can't be done without profound cultivation and skillful skills. Anyone here should praise it.

In fact, seeing this, like many soldiers in the battalion, Niu Jianjun was somewhat relieved.

However, in the increasingly bright field of vision in the morning, just when Niu Jianjun had just left the camp of the Chinese army and was about to find Yuan Lizhi, suddenly, he saw with his own eyes, outside the camp, a light yellow real It rolled up a tornado flatly, and then directly hit the sea blue floating waves.

Yellow and blue collided, wind, sand, rain and mist mixed together, and the two sides immediately lost their original shape, making a mess, mud and sand.

In this situation, no matter how stupid the person is, he would know that the other party did not misunderstand the information because they kept their hands last time, but sent out enough alchemy masters in a targeted manner. Zhao Xingmi's cultivation base could no longer be his trump card.

However, Niu Fangsheng stared blankly for a moment, only stomped his foot, after all he was in a hurry to find someone.

First find the first general Ying Yanglang on the left wing of Zuo Tunwei, who is about to arrive at Yuan Lizheng, Yuan Lizheng frowned after listening, but did not refute: "Since it is a military order, I naturally have nothing to say, but the bandit army is obviously coming prepared, So what if we concentrate our masters and troops on attacking one place later? Guarding is not a matter of saying a word, especially since General Zhao is being entangled again, we must have an internal deployment!"

"Indeed." These words were reasonable, Niu Fangsheng thought for a while, and did not object. "I'm going to find General Zhang..."

Yuan Li just nodded his head and watched the other party leave, but he learned the lesson of Zhao Xingmi, he no longer jumps up and shows his face easily, but just sits in the camp and directs the troops to protect the camp he leads.However, I didn't dare to show my head, but the other party did. The flag of Shan Tonghai, the leader of the bandit army, quickly appeared on the northernmost side of the camp, which is the front of Yuan Lizheng's defense area, where many elite armored soldiers really concentrated. Riders and cultivators have already begun to snatch the gates and fences.

Looking at this scene, this former nobleman was extremely entangled in his heart. He wanted to rush forward and led his troops to block him, but he was repeatedly frustrated, because in the last battle, the opponent had a Condensing Pill helper by his side. What should I do if I am under siege?
In the entanglement and anxiety, Yiqi suddenly came to him, but it was Zhang Qianda, another alchemy expert in the army.

This made Yuan Lizheng overjoyed, and stood up on the spot:

"Good job General Zhang, let's go together and block Shan Tonghai!"

Unexpectedly, the older Zhang Qianda glanced at the north, but shook his head instead: "General Yuan thought why did I ride a horse? The West Camp where I was was also surrounded by thousands of cavalry, and the banners were Zhou, Fan, Liu... Both Fan and Liu are Ningdan!"

Yuan Li's face changed drastically. He didn't know who the surname was Liu. Fan must be Fan Bao.

But the sudden appearance of two alchemy masters was not the reason for his panic, what really frightened him was that "Zhou".

"Zhou Xingfan is here?" Yuan Lizheng asked with a dark face. "Is Zhang San coming too?"

"I'm afraid Bai Sanniang will also come." Zhang Qianda's reply made people even more desperate. "And did you see the genuine energy of the person who entangled Zhao Xingmi? Does it look like the genuine energy of the Wu brothers?"

Yuan Li was staying where he was, this is the disadvantage of a smart person who understands too much, and always draws inferences quickly to come up with an answer.

"Then what do we...be like that, what should we do?" Yuan Lizheng came back to his senses when there was a loud noise from the north and a sudden burst of shouts from the west, but he himself didn't notice it at all, his own voice Already trembling slightly.

Shan Tonghai is here, he can still fight, and the bandit chieftain Zhang Xing is here, so there is no need to think about the outcome of the battle, only the Ningdan cultivation base is here, and the individual can still survive in nine out of ten, but if he wants to fight again Coupled with Wu Jingfeng and Bai Yousi, this is really going to be defeated!

"Get out!" Zhang Qianda swallowed, trying to speak.

"But Zhao Xingmi issued an official military order, and the military order passed down by the military supervisor Niu Fangsheng..." Yuan Lizheng's face became more and more ugly. "It is estimated that countless officers in Zhao Xingmi's army have heard it, and Sima is a decent person. I am afraid that if he really wants to kill the general and stand up, even if Sima is not in charge, he will not be able to get through Jiangdu."

"That's why I'm here to look for you." Zhang Qianda responded earnestly. "Zhao Xingmi is the No. [-] General Zuo Yilang of You Yuwei, and you is the No. [-] General Zuo Yilang of Zuo Tunwei. He is just a little more senior than you, but in fact you are on the same level. If you have something to say... "

"Don't harm me." Yuan Li shook his head immediately. "Don't try to kill me!"

Zhang Qianda immediately stamped his feet: "General Yuan, why are you so afraid of the front and the back? At dawn, the other party packs up, and we can hardly escape! The only chance is to mix in the army and don't show up!"

Yuan Li was tense for a moment, and suddenly said: "Look for Sima Shida! You have to push him for this matter!"

"Not bad!" Zhang Qianda was stunned for a moment. "That's right... look for Sima Shida, the sky is falling against the tall man, and only he can go around Sima Zheng and Jiangdu, and I don't believe that this guy is not afraid of death!"

The two breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhang Qianda is older and thicker-skinned, so he said directly: "I swear by the three brilliance and the four royals, from now on, I will share joys and sorrows with you, brother Yuan, and share life and death together, so I can find a way to survive in this troubled world."

Only then did Yuan Lizheng wave his hands: "They are all like close brothers. Why are you talking about these things? Anyway, we will never leave today."

As he said that, he also got on a horse, and then unexpectedly left the North Camp that was about to be breached, and went directly to the East Camp with the other party to find Sima Shida... When they came here, the two of them were dumbfounded. It turned out that Sima Shida was so simple Auxiliary soldiers in leather armor are dressed up, while the Niu Jianjun next to him is earnestly speaking.

The two were stunned for a moment, but just for a moment, then looked at each other, got off the horse together, one hugged Niu Fangsheng, the other hugged Sima Shida, and the two shot with Ningdan, naturally easily separated the uniforms of the two.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Li was holding Niu Fang and crying, and Zhang Qianda and Sima Shida were also talking non-stop...Of course, after all, it was just telling these two people that Zhang Xing, Bai Yousi, and the Wu brothers, Bring the main force to destroy the dragon thief.

But in just a moment, Niu Fangsheng's face was pale, and Sima Shida's face was ashen ashes.

"If we don't leave, we will all be buried here with thousands of soldiers." Zhang Qianda tried hard to conclude.

"But, General Zhao has an order..." Niu Fangsheng was about to cry.

"So what if there is an order?" Yuan Li was really crying, and wiped his tears to answer. "Did he know that he would run into the Wu brothers when he went up? Did he know that the main force to dethrone the dragon thieves would arrive?"

Zhang Qianda was even more stern: "Don't forget, Supervisor Niu. General Zhao is not here. Naturally, the four of us are the ones to make the decision... We are going to leave after a serious military discussion. How can it be considered a violation of orders?"

As he spoke, he even shook Sima Shida's shoulder.

The latter was shaken awake, without any hesitation: "That's right! There are four people here, let's be fair and just. I agree with withdrawing to Pengcheng (Xuzhou base)! How about the three of you?"

Zhang Qianda nodded immediately: "It is possible!"

Yuan Lizheng didn't have much hesitation, just a tear: "That's right!"

Niu Fangsheng looked around and felt that he had never been so sleepy in his life, so he didn't speak in the end.

However, on the other side, since the three of them teamed up, they didn't care about Niu Jianjun at all. After a little discussion, they decided to abandon the camp and return to Pengcheng immediately.

Niu Fangsheng had no choice but to keep silent, watching helplessly as the three of them did not go back to the camp, but ordered the east gate to be opened, and then fled eastward with his personal guards and led horses on foot.

At this time, Yuan Li was reaching out his hand to pull Niu Jianjun, but the latter followed with his head down.

In a short while, the four of them left the camp with some of their personal guards, and as soon as they left, Dongying soldiers followed, just like the trickle on the river bank before the bank broke.

At this time, Zhao Xingmi in the sky was still fighting hard with Wu Erlang.

Shan Dalang just broke into the North Camp.

Zhang Xing was still worried about the direction of Sima Zheng's reinforcements.

Oh, the sun just came up.

PS: I went to the production inspection today, and the update is late and the number is small, please forgive me.
