Chapter 240 The bandit was defeated and fell into a desperate situation

 Zhang Daji's plan is very simple. The reason why Qianzhao dared to go out of the city to fight was because the soldiers of Zhao State in the rear were emboldened.

As long as the soldiers of Zhao State can be killed, the soldiers and civilians of Yuanshi County will be frightened.

Therefore, he decided to personally lead the team to fight Liu Baniu, and asked Zhang Gaoshou and Li Yang to lead more than a thousand people as his rear team to prepare for an attack.

A group of nearly three thousand bandits came in like a tide. Liu Baniu smiled and ordered to retreat.

"The enemy advances and we retreat, let's go!"

The Water Margin camp had just won, and they were very excited. Some of them wanted to rush forward to kill and earn some heads.

"Boss, kill for a while and then retreat!"

"Bullshit! These thieves have made it clear that they want to kill us. We must drag them down first and then deal with them when they lose their temper. Hurry, stay in formation and don't fall behind!"

When Zhang Daji took action, Zhao's army retreated, giving the bandits an illusion.

These county soldiers are nothing more than that, we must not let them run away, chase them, chase them quickly!

As a result, some cavalry began to charge, hoping to intercept the Water Margin camp. In fact, the cavalry chased and killed the defeated infantry, hitting them one by one.

Zhang Bai had only 200 horses to ride on, and Zhang Daji only had 50 to ride on. The rest were either killed in battle or divided up by other big bosses.

Facing the heaviest attack of fifty cavalry, Liu Baganiu knew with just one glance that these dozens of people were at best mounted infantry, a complete waste of war horses.

I don’t even know the rhythm of the charge and the purpose of the battle, so I just charge hard without giving the opponent a lesson.

Soon, a simple defensive front was set up, with three people in groups, sword and shield soldiers and spearmen responsible for defense, and crossbowmen responsible for shooting people and horses.

Liu Baniu sniped at the leader of the opponent, trying to annihilate this arrogant bandit cavalry at once.

The bandits' cavalry moved very quickly, reaching seventy paces in a blink of an eye.

After Liu Baniu fired a shot, he ordered all the archers and crossbowmen in the army to shoot freely, while the sword, shield and spearmen guarded the crossbowmen.

The Water Margin camp was divided into about thirty small groups. The bandit cavalry did not realize the danger at all and ran into them.

More than fifty cavalrymen rushed into the Water Margin camp's defensive formation, and then encountered a ruthless siege.

Liu Baniu himself was a military general, and with a spear on his left and a sword on his right, he faced the opponent's cavalry captain and killed him.

After stabbing two bandits to death with two shots, he discarded his spear and faced off with the bandit leader with a knife.

The bandit captain is also a fierce general. The two sides fought together at that time, and with them as the core, they formed a nearly stagnant battle group.

In this way, more than thirty Water Margin combat teams calmly and accurately harvested the lives of bandits.

Arrows flew across the sky, spears stabbed, and horses' legs were chopped off. The bandits realized that they were heavily surrounded and were attacked from all directions.

In short, like peeling an onion, the combat team eliminated the bandits of the core battle group layer by layer.

In just a moment, even before Liu Baniu had fought for ten rounds, more than half of the bandit cavalry had been killed.

The captain belatedly planned to run away, but that was impossible and he was shot off his horse by an arrow.

Seeing Zhang Daji coming from behind, Liu Baganiu smiled and shouted: "I won't be polite to these horses!"

After saying that, he led the Water Margin camp to retreat to the rear, while Ma Dai led nearly two hundred county soldiers and Liu Bei Gongsun Mingzhu moved in the other direction.

Seeing the loss of all his cavalry and being humiliated and ridiculed by Liu Baniu, Zhang Daji got angry and pointed at Liu Baniu's Water Margin camp and issued orders.

"Catch them and chop them to death!"

This time, most of the bandits suffered a lot. Many of them were ordinary people, so they couldn't bear it. Therefore, Zhang Daji's entire team gradually turned into a long snake formation.

At the head are Zhang Daji and Zhou Ping, with more than 400 to 500 people, and at the tail are Zhang Gaoshou and Li Yang, with 400 to 500 people.

Liu Bei walked around to the rear of the bandit and said to Ma Dai: "Cut off the bandit and follow the lead to eat the tail."

Ma Dai nodded, Qianzhao and Ma Xiu pressed forward step by step. As long as the bandits hit them hard, they would probably collapse.

Look at Zhang Gaoshou's troops staring at Qianzhao's troops, slowly retreating, entering the attack range, Liu Bei raised his long sword.

"Shua!"

"Charge! Kill them!"

After taking a short rest, the Zhao Guojun soldiers were reassured by what they saw and heard today. After all, the bandits did not look very powerful and they would die if they were stabbed or knifed.

We all carry one head on two shoulders. We are not afraid of King Wu, but we are scared of ourselves!

Wow, 200 people suddenly rushed down the hillside, like a sharp ax, and struck Zhang Gaoshou in the back.

When he saw the soldiers of the Zhao State on the hillock launching an attack, he led Ma Xiu and urged his men to charge forward, making sure to kill Zhang Gaoshou.

Zhang Gaoshou was startled when he heard an enemy attack from behind.

How did the Zhao Guojun soldiers get behind him? What does Zhang Daji do for food?

But, there is no point in saying anything at this moment.

Three groups of men and horses collided together. Zhang Gaoshou and Li Yang were outnumbered and poorly equipped. They were blocked by Ma Dai and others, and they were panicked.

Under attack from both sides, the fight quickly became one-sided.

Although Zhang Gaoshou hoped to follow Liu Baniu's example and fight more with less to reverse the situation, he was eventually beaten so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he had to abandon his weapons and surrender.

In this battle, Ma Dai focused on defense, and led the troops to attack fiercely with Zhao Zhao. Therefore, Zhao Guojun's soldiers suffered more than fifty casualties, and Qian Zhao's subordinates suffered more than 200 casualties.

Leading the way, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and slashed in the arm. Fortunately, none of them were critical. He was wrapped in gauze and his movements were not affected.

When he saw Liu Bei, Qianzhao immediately knelt down, but was supported by Liu Bei.

"Zijing, you and I, brothers, what are you doing?"

Qianzhao said regretfully: "Qianzhao was incompetent, which caused the place to suffer from thieves..."

"Haha, a man is brave only after he realizes his shame! Strike while the iron is hot and destroy Zhang Daji first."

The battle went smoothly for Lianzhao, and he finally regained some confidence, and immediately said: "Xuande and Madam, wait a moment, I will chop off Zhang Daji's head right now!"

He turned around and said to the soldiers and civilians of Yuanshi County: "The thieves are all gone. Kill me!"

After saying that, he urged his horse forward and swept towards the bandits.

The news that Zhang Gaoshou and Li Yang's troops were under siege was reported to Zhang Daji, and all the leaders realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Jinli looked at the back of the Water Margin camp and murmured: "They fell into a trap! They lured us away on purpose!"

Zhang Laifu asked: "Save or leave?"

Even though Zhang Daji was quick-thinking, Liu Baniu took them on a journey for more than an hour, and most of the bandits were exhausted.

For a while, he couldn't make a decision.

Behind him, in order to wash away his shame, Qianzhao attacked fiercely all the way, with overwhelming force, splitting the long snake formation in half.

When Liu Baniu saw the situation reversed, he actually turned around and taunted Zhang Daji again.

"What's wrong? You did too much last night, are you weak today? Or are you born to be a girl? Come on, let's challenge each other. If you can beat me, I will let you live!"

Zhou Ping said: "Big boss, it's better to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible, leaving the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood!"

Zhang Daji looked at all the big and small bosses, his eyes full of desire.

This battle is unwinnable.

"Withdraw!"

As a result, this wave of bandits began to move westward, and after walking a hundred miles, they could enter the Taihang Mountains.

However, Liu Baniu, the unlucky one, was like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to them.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the broken bridge on the river, Zhang Daji wanted to die.

Liu Baniu sent dozens of cavalry in advance to destroy the roads and bridges in front of the bandits. Zhang Daji and his gang surrendered to death.

Qian Zhao came with murderous intent and surrounded the remnants of more than a thousand bandits by the river.
