There was a big battle a few miles away, but Fang Xuanqiao and Su Jingfang began to discuss political ideas, which was a bit strange. However, considering that the deputy commander of the army, Li Ding, and the reinforcement general, Qu Tuda, were just sitting and chatting in the military camp behind,
It doesn't seem that exaggerated.
However, whether it is Li Ding or Qu Tuda, whether it is Fang Xuanqiao or Su Jingfang, or Duan Wei and Zheng Shanye who are watching the fire from the other side, including the previous Zhang Xing-Xiong Bonan-Cui Suchen, and also Bai Hengqiu-Dou Qi,
Everyone knows that this battle will eventually be decided by violent confrontation.
No matter how much they think about it, they still have to use the result of the battle to make the final decision. "The camp is broken! The camp is broken!"
"Charge forward, charge forward! Whoever breaks the camp first, and whoever captures the flag will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"
"The Duke has an order. Whoever kills Zhang's three thieves will be made a marquis! Whoever kills the leader of the thieves will be promoted to general! This battle has three hundred merits!
As the two battalions of reinforcements arrived at the front line, suddenly, huge cheers erupted in front of the military camp, and countless Taiyuan troops cheered. It turned out that in front of the camp overseen by Army General Xu Shiying, a fence several feet wide suddenly opened.
It was pulled down, revealing a wide marching passage.
Moreover, everyone could see that the army was hurriedly mobilizing troops and trying to form a human wall to block the gap. This further stimulated the Taiyuan Army's desire to attack.
All of a sudden, there were cheers, shouts, the sound of soldiers and armor vibrating, and the sound of drums, and countless Taiyuan troops rushed towards the gap.
"Stand still! Steady, steady!"
At the gap, a general with a whale bone on his head was giving orders in an almost roaring tone, and the soldiers beside him were forming an array with their best spears.
As soon as the formation of only three rows took shape, the impatient Taiyuan Army rushed into the gap and rushed directly. The team saw that the opponent's formation was scattered and the equipment was mixed, but before their own formations were neatly arranged, both sides
As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to give the order:
"Push it out!!!"
Hundreds of soldiers lined up in three rows with long spears in hand. Although they were panicked, they still followed the instinct during training when they heard the military order. They lowered their heads and pressed their long spears, forming a forest of spears and pushing forward with all their strength. The Taiyuan Army was caught off guard, and there was an attack on the spot.
A dozen people were stabbed, and the rest fled in confusion. The formation became more and more scattered, which gave the spearmen a chance to push past more easily.
It was not that there was no resistance. A Taiyuan Army officer who had just arrived at the gap did not retreat but instead advanced. Instead, he raised his long knife and slashed directly at the gun formation. A pale white light glowed on the long knife, and two spears sprouted out of thin air.
Chi seems to be a master of magical scriptures.
However, the long knife rolled down and cut off the two spears, but it was difficult to cut. Instead, the knife holder was stabbed into the abdomen by an iron spear from the bottom layer through the side seam of the armor.
The man yelled, not daring to act like a hero anymore. He gave up his weapon on the spot, then strode back, trying to pull out the spear in his belly. However, when the spear blades were drawn back, they were blocked by the armor, while the array of spears in front of him continued to attack.
Then he stabbed it in again.
In this way, the stomach of this Taiyuan Army officer was repeatedly dug out. Before he could retreat to the gap, his intestines were already leaking all over the floor. He lost all his strength and finally lay down directly. The man who stabbed the opponent
The pikemen simply abandoned their spears and drew their sabers, but they did not rush to retaliate. They just lowered their heads and waited for the spear formation to pass before they joined the dozens of soldiers with short-range soldiers behind them to deal with the injured and lone soldiers.
Taiyuan Army.
The Taiyuan Army officer's internal organs were already empty, the ground was covered with blood, and there was a spear in his stomach. He was trampled by Liuhe boots, but he was still alive. When he saw the army coming to replenish his wounds, he just cried out for mercy.
The first soldier actually hesitated, but immediately, someone came from behind, held down the spear with one hand, then stepped forward and stabbed the opponent's neck with a knife, then leaned down again, cut off the head and helmet together, and also handed the spear
Take back.
At this time, the army retook the gap and even rushed out of the gap because of the Taiyuan Army in front.
"Get back! Get back quickly!"
Seeing this, the military officers quickly shouted loudly behind them.
In the chaos, some sergeants heard the military orders and turned back immediately, while others were confused due to the killings and counterattacks, and some did not hear the military orders at all in their excitement and nervousness, which caused the three rows of spear formations themselves to fall into chaos.
hit, and then some of them paid the price with blood.
A shower of arrows appeared almost as soon as the sergeants arrived at the gap, and because the Zhenqi formation was not covering them, this shower of arrows fell, causing several soldiers to be directly injured by arrows.
At the same time, a group of Taiyuan troops who had reacted had already lined up in order, holding up large shields and braved the rain of arrows to fight back again.
The army instantly fell into the position of its opponent. No less than a dozen of them had no time to retreat. They were overtaken and hacked to death on the spot in front of the gap.
Not to mention this, the awakened Taiyuan Army has obviously been effectively commanded. They no longer compete for the "Tiao Dang Gong (first to break the formation)" with only 300 places. Instead, they regrouped and charged with large shield formations.
The crossbows braved the enemy's height advantage to force forward to suppress the formation, but it was indeed effective. The shield formation quickly pushed into the gap, and the army's spear formation just tried to assemble again, but was also pushed away.
More than a hundred Taiyuan troops entered the gap.
Then, the situation suddenly became very strange, because there was cheering inside, but it was not the volume of a mere hundred people, but a bigger cheering, obviously coming from the army.
The Taiyuan Army who subsequently rushed over quickly realized the situation and reported back in embarrassment.
"It's an urn city inside!" A Taiyuan Army officer accurately expressed the situation behind the gap in the camp with an absolutely wrong description.
"Tsk!" Sun Shunde put his hand on his face and understood immediately. "I know it's not that simple." "Do you want someone to evacuate?"
"Aren't we going to attack Wengcheng?" Sun Shunde was furious. "I'll personally supervise the battle! Send troops and horses in!"
After saying that, the former general of the Taiyuan Army held his sword upside down and led his guards directly to the gap. When he led the people to the position more than a hundred steps in front of the gap, he could see clearly with a leap based on his cultivation.
·······Behind the gap in the broken fence, there are three earthen ramparts that are as high as one person, and the sections are flat. The army is condescending and has large shields and spears, and there are bows and crossbows at high places around the perimeter.
The more than a hundred Taiyuan troops below could only gather in a group and raise their shields to resist. If anyone had a mental breakdown and tried to escape to the gap, they would be shot at intensively, including the flaw in the shield formation.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before these hundreds of people are eaten alive by the army. "Sun Shunde is here."
The team member who was responsible for advancing and luring the enemy was now standing next to Xu Shiying, holding a gun in one hand and pointing at the flag outside from the observation deck with the other. "Would it be self-defeating if this guy led the crowd to rescue? His subordinates
At least three masters of condensation, plus himself and his bodyguards... we may not be able to stop him."
"It's not that we may not be able to stop him, but we definitely can't." Xu Shiying looked at him coldly and answered coldly, "But he will never come.
"Why?" Team General was confused.
"He didn't even dare to take Wang Wulang's arrows. He ran hundreds of steps away, as if he was afraid of his own life. How dare he come to fight with me?" Xu Dalang sneered even more. "These people, it's okay to escape the three expeditions.
, everyone wants to escape from the matter of dying in vain, but since they have surrendered to Bai Hengqiu, who doesn’t want to take advantage and save energy? Who is willing to die in Hebei when he can eat most of Kansai in a single turn? "
At this point, Xu Dalang turned to look at his close subordinate: "If these people really want to go all out, given the current situation, we can only escape, but we don't have to think too much."
"Is there a way to escape?" The team leader continued to ask. "Can we fight back?" "It's hard to say!"
"It's hard to tell..." The team general finally changed his expression. "If you really can't fight back, you'll be defeated. Then I can still go back and sell cooking cakes. What about you, Dalang? What should I do?"
Xu Shiying glanced at the other party, did not say a word, but suddenly took the spear from the other party's hand, just shook it, and then the gray-white ice energy under his feet surged out of thin air from the ground, and turned into green immortality energy under his feet.
Look at the whole person being wrapped in the true energy and forming a ball.
Immediately, Xu Dalang just jumped up and smashed the entire Taiyuan Army shield formation below. After landing, his true energy exploded and the entire shield formation immediately collapsed. However, there were still officers shouting loudly, asking the troops to form a formation and not disperse. Wait.
rescue.
But at this time, the general who had sold cooking cakes in Baima a few years ago also shouted an order, and the surrounding soldiers shouted for kill, and rushed down with long spears, attacking from three sides.
At this moment, the Taiyuan Army no longer had the will to fight. The elite troops who had entered first threw away their shields and fled in a hurry to the gap. However, they had neither shields nor formations, and were surrounded from three sides. What could be the outcome? Nothing more than that.
They are just going to be hunted in the "Weng City".
More than a hundred steps away, Sun Shunde, who was originally planning to send his subordinates to go to Jiuyuan, saw this scene. His eyes were splitting. No matter how unbearable it was, he couldn't help but look back: "As a general, you can be afraid of death, but how can you abandon your subordinates?"
Go to hell?”
As soon as he said this, he personally walked forward with a big sword in his hand, and the close relatives around him no longer hesitated, including a captain and a battalion general.
However, when this famous general from Guanlong came to the gap in the military camp, he saw a scene he would never forget - Xu Shiying, the thief general who had previously captured his own general alive in front of the battle, stood in the gap with an iron gun.
Behind him, a team general stood holding a large flag with the word "Xu". Behind him, dozens of army sergeants were seizing the gap, but they were divided into two columns, one facing inward and one facing outward.
At the same time, those Taiyuan troops who broke into the gap were still being slaughtered.
Sun Shunde looked at the opponent, watching the immortality energy that was constantly escaping around the opponent's body. He felt uneasy and moved slower and slower. However, he suddenly stopped dozens of steps away from the opponent, and then waved his sword and gave orders to his subordinates.
Keep going to kill.
Xu Shiying sneered and raised his spear, but he felt relieved. After all, this guy didn't dare to risk his life.
At this time, it was about an hour before sunset.
After Xu Shiying succeeded in luring the enemy, about a quarter of an hour later, a new round of fighting appeared on the bank of Qingzhang River. The scale of the fighting here was initially limited by the battlefield...the army's plum blossom shape
The distance between the camp and Qingzhang River is limited, so there are not many troops that can be filled. But soon, like the previous camp, when the outermost fence here was breached, a large number of troops poured into the gap between the plum petals.
It soon fell into a bitter fight.
The reason couldn't be simpler. The leader here is Niuda. He has the lowest level of cultivation and has been seriously injured. More importantly, his headquarters suffered heavy losses in the battle half a year ago. Although Zhang Xing's private troops are now equipped with soldiers and horses,
He was selected as an elite, but he didn't get along well with the general.
Correspondingly, the person in charge of the two battalions of the Taiyuan Army was the younger Bai Liben. Although his cultivation was not high enough, he dared to fight and kill. In addition, he had nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses in the two battalions.
Among the crowd, two generals and two captains, all four of them are masters of condensing pills or above, one of them is even a master of forming pills. Naturally, Niuda was overwhelmed and couldn't breathe, so he could only rely on the large formation to support himself.
At this time, Niuda requested reinforcements from the Chinese army.
"Tell Niuda to wait for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, I will send out Zhou Xingfan's cavalry, and then after half an hour, I will send out King Xiongtian." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and immediately gave the answer.
Chuanqi was relieved and turned back immediately.
After the people left, all the people on the stage remained silent. Even Xiong Bonan, who had been a little anxious before, did not say a word either.
Without him, time is running out.
The battle started in the afternoon, with 30,000 people versus just over 10,000 people. A duel in front of the formation, two large-scale offensives, mixed with simple luring the enemy and counterattacks, enough time has been spent.
Next, Niuda may be able to hold on, or he may not be able to hold on, it doesn't matter.
Because we don’t know when Bai Hengqiu will take action, and before that, there is no need for the army to retain its strength.
Zhang Xing believes that among the more than 10,000 troops, there must be some who have doubts, and there must also be many people who have given up thinking long ago and are waiting for the possible outcome of the war with a risk-taking attitude.
After all, as I said before, this battle came too suddenly for the gang.
In this way, watching Chuanqi leave the general platform, I don’t know what Xiong Bonan, Cui Suchen and others were thinking, but Zhang Xing began to wander. He was thinking about a question, a question that was related to life and death, but there was no room for it.
, a question that made him fearful, puzzled, and somewhat hopeful.
That is, why can he stop Bai Hengqiu?
Or to put it another way... As a time-traveler, Zhang Xing trusts the compass very much. He can't believe it... But why? Why does the compass point to this place so clearly? Why does the compass think he stays here?
Can it bring life to the gang?
Escape will directly lead to failure, but what about staying? Is there any chance of survival? If so, where is the chance of survival?
This problem is not completely traceable, because the world is generally materialistic. Even the idealistic Qi is materialistic from a macro perspective and has laws to follow. In fact, when the Zhenqi Formation is
The moment he stood up, Zhang Xing had some insights. He instantly realized that the stability of this true energy formation was clearly related to his control of the army and the existence of the gang in Hebei.
The human heart and the truth itself are power. This is a wise saying, and in this world, this statement is especially wise, because these things that seemed illusory before time travel and need to be transformed by people through actions, in this world, through magical
"Qi" can be directly transformed into the most obvious power.
If you master the human heart and the truth, you can obtain and control power, and you can stop Bai Hengqiu. Then the question comes again, do you, Zhang San, master the human heart and the truth?
To be fair, Zhang Xing still feels guilty, which is the fundamental reason why he still feels uneasy until now. What has he done that qualifies him as a master of people's hearts and principles?
It has been six years since I came to this world. Not to mention the previous two and a half years, it has been three and a half years since I rebelled.
In the past three and a half years, I established a gang and recruited nearly a hundred so-called heroes to rebel. Among them were powerful men, criminals in exile, fugitives, petty officials, surrendered officials, farmers, and others.
Merchants, even eunuchs and nobles.
Then, this organization eventually grew to have fifty combat camps and two hundred thousand field soldiers, and then occupied fifteen and sixteen counties, with a population of tens of millions, and effectively ruled for several years. Recently, the gang also released
He passed the law, put forward the so-called political program, and even conquered Liyangcang, saving the entire Hebei province from famine.
This is really amazing. Zhang Xing felt it was amazing when he thought about it. However, it seems that these achievements are far beyond his personal scope. The achievements belong to the entire gang, not to him personally.
Is he qualified to control this power?
Apart from that, there seemed to be something missing. There was something missing that could make Zhang Xing completely relieved. He was missing the determination that made him desperately pull out the sheathless sword in his hand and strike hard.
Does he have this determination?
"It's been a quarter of an hour." Xiong Bonan reminded proactively. "Let Chief Zhou take action!
Zhang Xing nodded. Through the formation, he could clearly detect the tension and weakness on Niuda's petals.
After the military order was passed, hundreds of armored cavalry who had been waiting for a long time immediately poured out from Huaxin and went east along the main road inside the camp. After half a quarter of an hour, they poured out from several side entrances and tried to drive them away.
Divide the Taiyuan army that is besieging the camp.
But the effect is very poor.
The narrow battlefield and dense infantry formation made it impossible for the armored cavalry to speed up, and there was not enough room for maneuver. Xiong Bonan no longer hesitated and stood up immediately.
This time Zhang Xing did not stop him.
At this moment, the purple-faced king suddenly changed his expression, and then turned his head to look due south, causing Cui Suchen and others to also look there. Zhang Xing slowly turned his head and saw a three-person figure who was not dazzling.
The figure wrapped in Huizhen Qi slowly rose from the battlefield, and then "fell" into the huge chessboard in the sky.
As this scene happened, the entire chessboard surged again, quickly covering the gang's camp.
Obviously, Bai Hengqiu was too lazy to wait. He wanted to use his own way, use absolute power, and have the greatest chance of winning to end today's war... This raid was intensively planned since half a month ago.
Now we have reached the point of close combat.
Xiong Bonan no longer hesitated, immediately grabbed the flag, jumped up high, and the entire plum blossom-shaped formation also started to stir up.
Zhang Xing looked at these situations expressionlessly, and then touched his waist.
He wanted to touch the Fulong Seal, but he touched the compass first, and then his heart moved slightly. However, in this situation, he thought of something that seemed unrelated - he seemed to have never searched for the return through the compass.
