Chapter 246 Array (12)

Zhang Xing claimed to have read people's hearts, but he actually believed that after eating 20,000 soldiers, the Qilu army, which looked like an official army but was actually a rural military group in the lower reaches of the Jishui River, would be in ruins, and those who escaped, especially

Even if the core members of this army survive and escape, they cannot escape their final fate because of their rural characteristics.

The so-called Taoist priest can escape but cannot escape. So what if he escapes?

Therefore, when Zhang Xuguo displayed his power of condensation and rushed back to the encirclement without his life, he gave up command and blocked the pursuers along the edge of the swamp like a brave man to cut off the few escapees.

Zhang Xing, the frontline leader and officers, congratulated and flattered Zhang Xing without any superfluous reaction. He simply ordered Xu Shiying to organize the manpower to arrest the opponent or simply kill him on the spot.

Duan means commanding with determination.

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

Four thousand fresh troops suddenly attacked. The leader of the general was a crazy Chengdan master. On the spot, he staggered the Northern Dragon Army, which was in a victory posture and in a scattered formation. At the same time, the reinforcements came in quickly.

To cheer up the besieged officers and soldiers who had fallen into despair, the latter quickly tried to reach northward under the leadership of a small number of officers in an attempt to escape.

Under attack from two sides, the Dragon-Deposed Army was caught off guard and suffered many casualties.

Under this situation, Zhang Xing and other leaders of the Deposed Dragon Army, who were extremely 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 struggling to their death. After a wave of failure, they were more completely defeated. This allowed the Dragon Army to quickly concentrate its forces and turn to the north to attack.

"how to spell?"

At this time, most of the afternoon had passed, but it was not yet evening, but it was still raining. Fortunately, after condensing the elixir, Zhang Xing felt that his ears and eyes were sharp. He turned on a horse and could see the battle ahead in the distance, then turned his head and turned a few steps to his side.

A general came to inquire.

"Third brother, I think the overall situation has been decided now. We just need to stabilize the formation. The other side can't attack, so there is no need to cause trouble." Niu Da, who came with only a few hundred soldiers, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Are you scared after being beaten once?" Shan Tonghai, who was standing by him, had learned about Niuda's experience of escaping from the mud, so he came face to face with him coldly. "If you ask me, just eat this here.

Four thousand soldiers! If Zhang Changgong is really crazy and dares to attack at the risk of exhaustion of his true energy, then kill him here! Kill him and eat these last four thousand soldiers, and the eight counties on both sides of Jishui will be defeated.

The land will be ours in an instant!"

By the end of the conversation, it was obvious that I had lost control of my emotions.

Obviously, the repeated defeats in the previous six months and the fact that he actually did not win any military merits in this battle (the army had been defeated before he led his troops to join Zhang Xing), made the three original leaders of the Deposed Dragon Gang

One of the leaders has a somewhat unbalanced mentality.

Because of this, Niu Da was about to be sarcastic. But as Zhang Xing's eyes dimmed, he still held back his anger.

This made Shan Tonghai even more anxious.

Zhang Xing thought for a while, but simply issued an order: "Niu Da, lead Ding Shengying and Guo Jingke to the left wing, while Jia Yue and Zhai Qian go to the right wing, each with sufficient strength to stabilize the situation. We, the Chinese Army, will

Behind us, leader Shan is in front, fighting and retreating... If Zhang Changgong realizes his interest and wakes up and leaves, then that's it. We still have dumplings to eat behind us; if he really loses his mind, let's end him here.

That’s it!”

When all the generals heard the order, they all responded without saying a word.

Zhang Xing also looked at the people around him again: "Xiao Jia, go and reassemble the masters we formed before, and find as many as you can; Wang Xiongdan, you and Ma Tou leader go to mobilize some long soldiers and be ready.

, and then gather under my flag."

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

Bai Yousi, on the other hand, took a step forward slightly at this time, as if he was about to say something, but Zhang Xing waved his hand to stop him: "Look, when it is really necessary, you still have to rely on you, but nine times out of ten it won't be your turn.

Come, it won’t even be my turn.”

Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, then he immediately woke up and said no more.

After a while, the troops began to reorganize in the chaos. Thanks to the return of the senior generals and the disappearance of the flanking attack, as well as the narrow passage battlefield, a dense military formation gradually began to form.

Zhang Changgong's assault was obviously a hasty and untactical assault, and he was quickly dragged into the depths of the military formation by the deposed dragon army without any notice.

"Counter Zhang!"

Fan Bao beat his horse and squeezed in front of the disheveled Zhang Changgong. He opened his mouth with a hint of fear and started to cry. "We can't break out any more! If we break in again, these four thousand soldiers will be surrounded!"

Zhang Changgong, who was holding a long gun, turned his head suddenly, rainwater sloshing out of his hair, and his face was still ferocious, making Fan Bao tremble in fright.

But the latter calmed down, gritted his teeth and sat firmly on the horse, and continued to persuade with tears in his eyes: "Governor Zhang, what's wrong with you? Tell me! If you want to save Commander Zhang or someone else, let's put the soldiers back.

Go back alone and look for it. With your cultivation, you can't really rescue people after dark! If you want to rescue the trapped army, then to be honest, it is useless to continue fighting. It is better to put the army back.

With the confrontation like this, with some troops involved, we might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to escape a few more...but we can't go on like this. If we go on like this, I'm afraid we will lose all the last four thousand Qijun soldiers!"

Hearing this, Zhang Changgong opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a single word, but he burst into tears. The rain and tears formed a ball, and slid down the blood stain on his face.

"Governor Zhang, now that things have come to this, we have to recognize the reality... My eldest brother and my little sister are all in trouble. If you want to save people, I will risk my life to help you." Seeing this, Fan Bao continued to sigh.

He came to persuade us with tears, and 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, everything is so confusing.

When it comes to family arrangements, I never have my own opinion on how to do things. But this time I came out and started something from scratch. I finally followed the manager and everyone to create some situations, but everything disappeared...I can't help this anger!"

Fan Bao was completely silent.

If he hadn't always been afraid of the other party like a tiger, he would have almost cried with him.

"Forget it, 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'll break up with you first, and then try to save some people."

come out……"

At this point, Fan Bao was also confused and could only nod his head, and then hurriedly ordered the rear army to change into the front army, and quickly return to the army... There were only four thousand people, and they were already halfway trapped. How could they easily escape?

Especially Shan Tonghai, who was facing him, had a hundred calculations, a thousand grudges, and ten thousand unwillingnesses in his heart. He always wanted to expand the results of the battle, so as soon as he saw the opponent retreating, he immediately counterattacked relentlessly.

"This Dalang Shan is obviously disobeying military orders when he acts like this." The speaker was Ma Ping'er, who had just led a group of spearmen back. Of course, what she said was well-founded. She was right there when the order was given.

However, when Zhang Xing heard this, he just squinted his eyes in the rain and said nothing. The people around him were also silent, which made Ma Ping'er chatter for a while.

To put it bluntly, regardless of whether Ma Ping'er is right or not, and what Zhang Dalongtou thinks, the main reason is that Ma Ping'er's identity is embarrassing, and Shan Tonghai's status is too prominent.

Even Wang Xiongdan, who was nearby, just glanced at Ma Ping'er and then gave a bitter smile.

In this way, everyone stood under the somewhat stiff "deposed" flag. Behind them, scattered troops continued to gather after hearing the news, but due to Shan Tonghai's forward attack, they still seemed a bit weak.

Soon, whether it was true or expected, as the soldiers and horses beside Zhang Xing became weaker, Zhang Changgong, who was in charge of the rear, suddenly jumped up and used his true energy in the air. The silvery white true energy enveloped his whole body, and he flew again.

Pounced towards Zhang Xing's banner.

This time, Zhang Xing did not form a formation.

It is precisely because of this that Fan Bao saw this scene from a distance and did not have any worries at first. He just thought it was a normal attack to save him and delay the delay... After all, in his eyes, Zhang Changgong was too powerful, even in person.

After what he had experienced before, he didn't think that the Dragon-Deposed Army could do anything to this person without gathering the masters of cultivation to form a formation.

However, as soon as he turned around and wiped the sweat off his face, Fan Bao suddenly froze on his horse, and then felt a chill in his heart.

The reason couldn't be simpler. For masters of Ningdan and above, on the battlefield, it is necessary to maintain body-protecting Qi as much as possible. This is a life-saving thing... just like wearing armor... Even he, Fan Bao, at this time

Try your best to do this, otherwise why would your face be covered with sweat? But Zhang Changgong, who is obviously a master of elixirs, had just talked to him, or even earlier, his face and hair were already wet from the rain.

Combined with the previous events, this can only show that Zhang Changgong's energy reserves are actually very dangerous.

As soon as he thought of this, Fan Bao immediately turned around and turned around again.

And it was at this time that he turned around and saw clearly that in the rain, Zhang Changgong's silver-gray flash was intercepted by a lavender light rising into the sky before it reached the banner with the word "Deposed".

The rays of light entangled together, then smashed heavily into the mud, and did not rise again... On the contrary, there was a sudden panic under the word "Deposed", and countless spearmen swarmed forward.

At this moment, Fan Bao didn't feel cold in his heart, but felt cold all over his body.

Fear, panic, and an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and helplessness suddenly surged into my heart.

After seven or eight breaths, Fan Bao realized that he had become completely alone. He regained his senses and without hesitation, he hit his horse and fled north... If he really died here, his brother's efforts would be in vain.

There was no one to respond to the little sister... In fact, as the scene just appeared, the surrounding armies also reacted.

The four thousand soldiers from Qijun, who had long known about the defeat ahead, finally lost their composure as a new force and fled in disgrace, while the deposed dragon army of about 10,000 people outside were unscrupulous and began to pursue and kill them.

Zhang Xing looked at this scene from a distance, and then glanced at the nearby muddy ground where the aftermath was still lingering. He chose not to say a word and turned back to the frozen maze, ready to wait for the final results to be accepted and to conclude the battle.

"Zhang Xuguo, are you willing to surrender?"

Sure enough, before dark, Zhang Xing waited for Zhang Xuguo, who was brought by Xu Shiying himself, and then of course passed several other prisoners and clicked on this person first, which was regarded as giving this person a face.

"How could it possibly drop?"

Zhang Xuguo's limbs were all broken and he was completely dragged out of the muddy water. Hearing this, he showed no expression.

"That's good..." Zhang Xing sat on the horse with the Jinglong Sword across his knees. He did it simply and didn't even have the intention of finishing the attack himself. "Behead him immediately, and then spread the word to all the counties in the east. He only said that the court eagles and dogs were violent.

Wei's lackey and the remnants of Qi County, the traitor Zhang Xuguo, have been killed!"

Zhang Xuguo wanted to refute what he said, but he just raised his head and turned his head away without making any unnecessary excuses... He really didn't want to speak anymore.

There are two sides between officials and thieves, and the victory and defeat are clear, so it is meaningless.

On the other hand, the surrounding leaders and officers of the deposed dragon army were quite shocked when they heard this simple reply. Even Xu Shiying was a little panicked. But in a moment, the gray-bearded general manager of the march to the east of the Wei Dynasty was dragged away

To the side, Jia Yue still took action himself and beheaded him on the spot.

He was fifty-one years old.
