Wei Tao divided his troops into two thousand to stay in Wucheng, and recruited another thousand from the local area.
Select five thousand elite soldiers and set off for the expedition.
Five thousand elite soldiers marched faster than when they arrived.
We crossed the Baishui River section in one day.
After noon on the second day, the army crossed the boundary of Xiaoyun Mountain and entered the Pingcheng Wasteland area.
The boundless wilderness is one of the characteristics of Pingcheng.
Half a day's walk north on the wasteland, you can see Pingcheng.
Going all the way to the east, there are mountains and swamps. Like the previous villages such as Yujiazhuang and Pegasus Village, they are all areas of wasteland to the east.
Cao Su's vanguard unit marched very fast, and after leaving Xiaoyun Mountain, everyone felt more relaxed.
I can't wait to run straight back to the city.
"Boom!"
At this time, Cao Su heard a strange noise coming from the distance.
Like thunder, coming from far to near.
"stop!"
In front of the formation, Wang Meng raised his hands and shouted.
The vanguard troops immediately stopped advancing after hearing Wang Meng's order.
Wang Meng also heard it.
Wang Meng is a master of strength, with sharp ears and eyesight.
He looked to the west, and the sound came from the west.
"Boom!"
At this time, there was another loud noise.
It was so clear that it resounded across the wasteland like rolling thunder, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Wang Meng's expression changed drastically, he waved his hand and clenched his fist.
"Array up!"
As Wang Meng shouted, he fell.
Thousands of spearheads from the vanguard army gathered together and moved closer to Wang Meng in the center.
A square formation was quickly formed.
Woo~~
A familiar horn sounded.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Isn't this the horn sound of the Wanping Army?
distance.
Thick black clouds covered the entire sky.
You can hear the thunder rolling and see silver snakes dancing wildly in the air.
Under the black clouds, there are many soldiers rushing toward them.
The mountains and plains are vast and majestic.
At a glance, it is endless.
"Enemy attack!"
There was a loud drink.
The sergeants in the front row of the government army put down their wooden shields in order and formed a shield wall.
The sergeants in the back row drew their long swords and long bows.
The thunder concealed the enemy's invasion, and the scouting horses gave no advance warning.
By the time Wang Meng reacted, it was already too late.
But the surprising thing is that although these soldiers are scattered all over the mountains and plains, they have no organized formations and just charge headlong.
"Is it Wanpingjun?"
In the military formation, Cao Su clenched the cold knife in his hand.
He couldn't understand why Wan Pingjun suddenly appeared here and Jiangning Mansion didn't want it?
It is impossible not to do so, the strategic position of Jiangning Mansion is too important.
These guys should not be Wan Pingjun...
After the enemy troops came into direct contact, Cao Su saw that these "enemy troops" were all strong farmers with weapons, and most of them were not covered in armor.
There are all kinds of weapons, including some with hoes.
"They're just some chickens and dogs! Sons and gentlemen, let me kill them!"
Wang Meng also saw that the enemy's "state" was not right, shouted loudly, and led the vanguard to charge forward.
Although the other party doesn't look very good, there are really many people.
The vanguard army of thousands of people was like a stone in the sea under the waves of countless people.
Although it is strong, it is only a matter of time before it is worn away.
These "enemy troops" are still charging forward.
"kill!"
In the wasteland, there are scenes of people shouting for death everywhere.
Directly attack the Chinese army!
Wang Meng swung his sword to kill, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
No matter how weak the opponent is, there are still tens of thousands of people, and the vanguard army cannot stop them at all.
The Chinese army led by Wei Tao was directly exposed to the enemy.
"Where is the thief?"
Wang Meng was so furious that he waved the sword in his hand even more fiercely. No one in the chaotic army could block his move.
"The thief will stop being so rampant and watch me take your dog's head!"
At this time, the enemy troops moved out of the way like a wave.
A man with a majestic figure and a yellow face, holding a steel gun, rushed out of the formation and came straight towards Wang Meng.
Wang Meng is a famous general in Pingcheng, but now an unknown young general dares to challenge him!
Wang Meng became even more angry and cursed: "Do you dare to bark like a chicken or a dog?"
He rushed forward with a long knife in hand.
Wang Meng practiced the Thunder Sword, and his sword skills were so sharp that there seemed to be lightning flashes between the blades.
The yellow-faced man who faced him was also a master of strength.
The steel spear was like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, instantly shooting out countless spear blossoms in front of Wang Meng.
The spear shot out like a dragon, but it was not at the slightest disadvantage to Wang Meng.
As soon as the two of them fought, the swords and winds flew wildly.
When the soldiers who were close to him saw the large number of dead souls emerging, they quickly fled in all directions, leaving enough space for the duel between the two masters.
After experiencing an initial period of stable defense, the vanguard army began to fall into chaos.
The major centurions led their centurions to fight independently.
Cao Su led his hundred men to break out of the encirclement toward the east.
The enemy comes from the west, and the defense in the east is indeed the weakest.
He waved his cold sword, and in the blink of an eye his shirt was stained with blood.
.........
To the south, the enemy army came into contact with the central government army.
Wei Tao was shocked and angry, wondering why the "Ten Thousand Ping Army" appeared.
"City Lord, these seem to be the three major thieves!"
Someone recognized the origin of these enemy troops.
Three major thieves?
There are three major bandits entrenched in Jiangning Mansion.
These three major thieves have developed rapidly since the Wanping Rebellion, and have become a common phenomenon.
Maybe he provoked them because he wanted to suppress the bandits?
Wei Tao didn't understand how these three thieves dared to come out to provoke him. Do they really think that with a large number of people, they can accomplish something? After all, they are not the Wanping Sect with all their intentions!
"kill!"
"Break out of the encirclement!"
Wei Tao calmed down and ordered his soldiers to break out.
The quality of the soldiers of the government was still very good, and the soldiers brought out in this wave were all elite soldiers, who carried out Wei Tao's orders very well.
The Chinese army began to break through to the north and swim upstream.
What tactics could the thieves have in fighting? They all pounced on us in a swarm.
"These rats from the Wanping Sect helped them cover up their whereabouts."
What Wei Tao hates most is the Wanping Sect who is causing trouble behind the scenes.
The black cloud thunder method in the sky is obviously the Taoist method of Wanping Sect's Demonic Way.
.........
On the wasteland.
The shouts of killing were loud, and the wild battle came too suddenly.
In fact, both sides of the war were unprepared, including the bandits who rushed up in a swarm, and they did not know that they were engaging in a big business of "killing officials."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But under the impression of herd mentality, I also shouted "kill the dog official".
He rushed forward with red eyes.
It turned out that the Fu army was as strong as a rock.
Even ordinary soldiers of the government often need several bandits to attack together before they can be cut down to the ground.
But most of the time, it's hard for them to find this kind of "alone" good thing.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides is not on the same channel.
Fortunately, there are really many thieves.
Wang Meng's estimate of tens of thousands may have been underestimated.
........
The number of bandits on the east side is relatively small.
Cao Su led his hundred men to break out of the encirclement to the east and would soon break out of the encirclement.
But at this moment, there were suddenly more bandits near the east side.
"Cao Baifu, there are too many bandits!"
Zhao Xi hid beside Cao Su and found that there were endless thieves and bandits around him.
Cao Su also noticed that something was wrong. The pressure to rush here was already very small, but unexpectedly some bandits appeared again.
It was as if there was an invisible big hand mobilizing the thieves on the battlefield.
In local wars, the number of bandits is always greater than that of the government army.
"Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"
Cao Su shouted loudly and took the lead again to rush into the group of bandits.
With a flash of the cold knife, the heads of the two thieves flew up.
Ordinary soldiers couldn't see his figure clearly at all.
This brave performance naturally attracted the attention of the enemy Qi and Blood warriors.
The proportion of enemy Qi-blood warriors is very low, with only one Qi-blood warrior among a thousand people.
If the Qi-blood warriors hadn't jumped out on their own, Cao Su might not have been able to find them.
"Good thief, please stop being so arrogant!"
Thieves and bandits are very particular, and they have to roar before taking action.
If someone can speak with such strong energy on the battlefield, he must be a warrior of energy and blood.
Cao Su didn't say a word and kicked the ground with his toes.
A small hole was made on the ground, and the whole person flew out like a cannonball.
He raised his sword and rushed towards the Qi-blood warrior who spoke.
"Well done!"
The Qi-blood warrior screamed strangely and prepared to take out the copper stick in his hand to meet the enemy.
Cao Su jumped into the air and swung the cold knife in his hand like a mountain bearing down on him.
die!
He was furious.
Staring at each other with death-like eyes.
The sharp edge of the cold knife cuts through the space.
There was a "ding" sound.
It hit hard on the copper stick that the Qi-blood warrior was lifting.
The huge impact caused the Qi-blood warrior's jaw to explode, and the weapon led the person back.
Before he could recover, Cao Su slashed open with his second sword.
The man was cut into two pieces by a sword swing.
Cao Su didn't even look at it and continued to charge through the crowd.
The thieves and bandits in this group gasped. The enemy was so cruel, and no one could survive two moves in his hands. How could he fight like this?
They regained their composure, and those in the front row couldn't help but retreat.
.........
Half an hour later.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The besieged government soldiers were all wounded, and the front, middle and rear armies were cut apart to besiege them.
Almost all the front and rear armies were wiped out, leaving only the central army struggling to hold on.
Cao Su led his troops to finally break out of the encirclement.
When he came out, he was surrounded not only by his centurions, but also by two other centurions.
However, it can no longer be called a "hundred-man team". Those who can operate normally are probably only a hundred people in total.
"Where is your centurion?"
When Cao Su saw the two centurions, all the soldiers were still there, but all the centurions were gone.
"The centurion was scattered..."
"The centurion died in battle..."
The two centurion sergeants gave different answers.
Cao Su shouted: "Have you ever seen General Wang?"
When he asked, everyone looked at each other.
It’s true that Wang Meng didn’t see much of him.
"General Wang seems to be still among the rebels!"
At this time, someone said this.
When Cao Su heard this, he was moved and said: "General Wang is in jail. Why don't you save me? Do you dare to fight with me again?"
Still rushing?
The pro-army troops led by Zhao Xi immediately stepped forward to capture Cao Su.
They all tried to persuade them: "Cao Baifu is very righteous, but today the bandits are so strong that we can only avoid the enemy for the time being!"
"General Wang is a powerful man. If there is no need for us to worry, we should evacuate to Pingcheng quickly to avoid letting the bandits take advantage."
Although the sergeants of the other two teams were moved by Cao Su, they also agreed.
"Yes, yes, rushing in now won't help. It's better to go back to Pingcheng and wait for someone to be useful before looking for a big plan."
After hearing everyone's advice, Cao Su's face was filled with uncertainty.
Finally he let out a helpless sigh.
"Forget it, then..."
Just as he was about to give the order to retreat, he suddenly heard another blast of horns from the distance.
The sound of the horn is desolate and simple, just like the low voice of a bison.
The ground trembled at this moment.
Cao Su was shocked.
Stand on a higher ground and look toward the east.
I saw a thin black line on the eastern horizon.
Looking from afar.
The battle flags are fluttering and dust covers the sky.
There was actually a cavalry galloping towards the center of the battlefield!
