The sun had just turned a little to the west, and the army, which had only rested for a quarter of an hour, immediately launched an attack. At the same time as the opponent launched an attack, Han Yingong, the commander of the blocking force, took the initiative to retreat.
This was the predetermined plan, and Han Yingong knew it very well. Not to mention that the four thousand soldiers were reduced on the way, even if the eight thousand full soldiers and horses were in full formation, they could not be the opponent of the main force of the fifth battalion of the army. It was not because the army could not resist, but
Because the high-end combat power is too different. He doesn't know the power of the Thirteen Vajras, but he has already been scratched by people like Xiong Bonan, Zhang Xing, Xu Shiren, Wang Shuyong, and Jia Yue, and he has had sex with some of them.
Fighting.
Therefore, we can only retreat, and we must retreat resolutely, decisively, and in an organized manner.
Because retreating does not mean giving up the fight, but layer upon layer, fighting while retreating, delaying obstacles, and waiting for reinforcements.
Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong will arrive first to suppress the high-level combat power of the army, while the follow-up troops will surround the army, forcing the already exhausted army to collapse and fall into the position of being hunted. This is a serious strategy.
To put it bluntly, it is just a bet on the time difference to see how quickly the reinforcements arrive, and whether the military's sharp knife that has been pierced to the end will be good or not?
However, putting all this aside, when the army launched a surprise attack and Han Yingong led the three core teams to retreat, this boy who followed his brother as a boy had experienced the battle to destroy Chen. In his middle age, he entered the palace because of his meritorious service against the Wu clan.
The senior generals of the Wei Dynasty, who had become completely smooth during the three campaigns against Dongyi, still instinctively realized that there was basically no hope for this battle.
Because the army was so decisive, so decisive that Zhang Xing personally charged into the formation, the mist that the ice energy dispersed at noon was really terrifying; and he himself had divided his troops after all, and was missing half of his troops.
We have just arrived and there are no fortifications to rely on.
One thing is going down, the other is going up, and there is a high probability that it will be gone. But what does it have to do with him?
Regarding the differences between him and Liu Yangji, it seems that he was right now, and the division of troops was also requested by Liu Yangji. Should he be blamed if he can't resist now? Didn't he resolutely implement Bai Hengqiu's military order to block it?
In fact, I have tried my best to protect my life and military power.
But since Liu Yangji has hated Liu Yangji and he has defected to the British Duke early, will he take the opportunity to slander the British Duke? And after the Bai family takes control of Guanlong, will he be able to establish a foothold around the Bai family? That's when the time comes
Rely on your military exploits against the Wu clan, or find old connections with in-laws?
While his mind was spinning, Han Yingong suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that he suddenly thought of his nephew Li Ding, who originally thought that the guy was better than him. When the troubled times started, he was falling down and this guy was climbing up. He thought that he would be able to rely on him. Unexpectedly, this British man was climbing up.
The father-in-law had just had a fight with the gang, and there was no pain or irritation on either side. It looked like they were a draw, but first he destroyed his nephew's independence.
Since Bai Hengqiu took away the soldiers and horses of Wu'an Army, he must do something about it. After this battle, Li Ding will either serve as Bai's shield in Hebei and be beaten by the gang, or he will surrender to his friend Zhang Xing
, when dealing with Bai Hengqiu’s sharp knife.
At this thought, Han Yingong couldn't help but feel upset.
It was at this time that two lines of true energy suddenly flew out of the mist in front of them. The former one was light golden, and the latter one looked a little red. However, they both looked a little white under the sunlight during the day, and they were both flying as fast as meteors.
Shooting came. Han Yingong, who was still thinking wildly at first, was shocked when he saw this, and quickly abandoned his horse and shot back.
As a result, the first long arrow with Duanjiang Zhenqi fell on Han Yingong's mount, cutting off the horse completely, and blood and water splashed for several feet. The second long arrow wrapped with Lihuo Zhenqi continued to fly.
, actually flew twenty or thirty steps further than the previous long arrow, and then exploded after touching the ground.
Han Yin's bow that had just fallen was caught off guard. Although it was not hit directly by the arrow, it was still completely overturned. His left arm was even more impacted. It was unbearably hot for a moment, but it was the Duanjiang Zhenqi drawn by the previous arrow that passed through it first.
The body-protecting Qi, and then the Lihuo Qi drawn by a long arrow took advantage of the weakness and entered.
Not only that, there were also many casualties among his close associates. One captain, many soldiers, and clerks died on the spot. Many wooden utensils and clothes caught fire.
In the firelight, Han Yingong, who was covered in horse blood, climbed up. Before he could change his horse, he pressed his shoulders and retreated in embarrassment.
How could General Guan Long still not wake up? Although he had already predicted the army, it was still insufficient! The army was more decisive than he thought, and its combat power and tactics were beyond his imagination.
By this time, he had no thoughts and thoughts, and he was just concentrating on surviving.
Long before the army hit Han Yingong's blocking force, a hundred miles away, Li Ding and his wife, who did not hesitate to leave the battlefield when the army protruded from the northwest, had already stopped at Qingzhang River.
In front of a semi-permanent floating bridge upstream, we crossed the Qingzhang River from here and arrived at the south bank calmly.
At the moment before the two arrows were shot, the couple also arrived at the goal of their trip:
First there was a group of dozens of sentinels. They stopped and stood obediently behind Li Ding, acting as ceremonial guards;
Then there was a group of 150 outposts. After receiving the order, they stopped directly and lined up on the official road on the south bank of Qingzhang River, blocking the official road and the direction of the rear army's advance;
Then Fan Lihua arrived with 500 cavalry. Li Ding waved his hand, and Fan Lihua immediately led the army to the deserted field on the south side of the official road, and set up a trap with a group of infantry and Qing Zhangshui.
, covering the advancing direction of the rear army;
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chen was astonished. His three thousand troops were considered serious front troops. Hearing the message, they came on flying horses. Li Ding did not say anything, but pointed to the north bank of Qingzhang River. Although the latter was heartbroken.
He was shocked, but recalling the words spoken by both sides before the battle, he bowed to Mr. Li without hesitation, then led his troops onto the pontoon, arrived on the other side of the Qingzhang River, and followed the official road to the north towards Wu'an County.
At this time, the changes in the army could no longer be concealed. Even if no one reported the news, Duan Wei at the rear finally noticed something was wrong. However, he got a clear reply shortly after sending a soldier brought from Dongdu:
"Duan Gong! It's Mr. Li Fu. He ordered from the front that all Wu'an troops should turn around and return to Wu'an Black Emperor Temple for resettlement! Fan Lihua's Department is supervising, and Wang Chen's Department has already begun to turn around!"
Duan Wei stopped there in silence for a moment, and then ordered on his horse: "Go and find Wang Chen, come here!" He joined the army and rode away, but after a while he turned back: "Wang Duwei has already crossed the river!"
Duan Wei clicked his tongue, rode forward, and took the initiative to look for Li Ding. After a moment, he saw his old subordinate Li Ding and Li Silang. He was really an old subordinate. He had been the Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, and Li Silang
I also spent a long time at the Ministry of War. It seems that I have been responsible for repairing bridges and paving roads?
When the two sides met, Li Ding took the initiative to dismount. At the same time, Wang Chen was stunned and his troops continued to march from the pontoon. "Duan Gong!" Li Ding bowed his hands under the horse and saluted.
"What's going on?" Duan Wei only stood still on his horse, but glanced at Zhang Shiniang who was also motionless. He knew very well that this peerless beauty, Mrs. Li, was definitely a master who was only inferior to the master.
, he achieved elixir in his prime, but gradually fell into disuse, and was no longer a match for this woman.
"Reporting to Duke Duan, before dawn the army
They successfully broke through from the northwest, and now the whole army has moved towards Xiangguo County under my rule. I want the Wu'an army to turn back quickly and set up camp in Wu'an County for observation." Li Ding said simply. "Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.
Both people and land were lost.”
Duan Wei was obviously surprised: "The breakout was successful? Northwest?" "Yes."
Duan Wei was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How is the Dongdu Army doing?"
"Mr. Bai deliberately ignored him, so that a battalion of Xu Shiying penetrated half of the camp and left majestically. Then the northwest army took the opportunity to break out, so Mr. Bai simply asked Zheng Shanye to lead the remaining soldiers and horses of the battalion out of the camp to pursue.
"
Duan Wei couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, and smiled bitterly: "He is quite generous."
"Baigong is naturally grand, and the troops and horses are thrown around at will." Li Ding clasped his hands, looked up at the sun above his head, and then said seriously. "Actually, from the principle of kindness not commanding troops, throwing troops and horses around
There is no problem with the chance of victory. In addition, the situation is difficult, and some of the coalition forces are trustworthy but not trustworthy. I don’t blame him for this. But, hasn’t Zhang Xing already led the army to break out? Then naturally I want to
Take back the troops and horses, protect the place, and ask Mr. Duan to do it."
After saying that, he bowed again.
Behind him, Zhang Shiniang didn't say a word, but stood on her horse with her sword in hand. The Wu'an Army next to him also turned to the north like water that was diverted.
Seeing this situation, Duan Wei could only sigh: "Now that things have happened, not to mention that what you said makes sense, even if it doesn't make sense, I can't keep your troops. But, Li Silang, I can leave, you
Can you withstand Duke Bai’s power after I leave?”
"It doesn't matter." Li Ding seemed to have thought about it for a long time. "After today, if Duke Bai can tolerate Luo Shu and Duke Xue staying in Hebei, he can also tolerate me staying in Hebei, provided that Wu'an Army comes back."
"As long as you are prepared." Duan Wei nodded, and then continued to speak on the horse. "In that case, you go to the north, and I will go to the south to collect the deserters."
"This is natural." Li Ding continued. "If my subordinates are right, the reason why Bai Gong let the Dongdu Army go so far was because after today's end, regardless of success or failure, he would immediately turn around and deal with Li Shu.
As long as we hold on to a few key roads, we can naturally pick up the fleeing Dongdu Army along the way."
"What's the name of Dou Qi's son, the one who guards the official road of Wuyang County?" Duan Wei understood instantly. "Dou Li."
"Tsk!" Duan Wei nodded immediately, but still didn't move. Instead, he stood up on his mount under the scorching sun above his head.
But Li Ding didn't say anything. After a while, Wang Chen was shocked that his troops had passed by, and another follow-up troops arrived.
When the "two coaches" were silent and did not make any moves, they did not hesitate to turn left onto the pontoon and head north to Wu'an.
At this time, Duan Weicai seemed to have come to his senses and said to Li Ding in front of him: "Li Silang." "Mr. Duan." Li Ding was still respectful.
"Now that things have happened, I don't know when the next time we will see each other again. Let me say a few more words." "Yes."
"In this world, it is difficult to be independent. Sometimes you have to submit to others, and there is nothing to be ashamed of."
.”
"However, even if you succumb to others, you still have to figure out what you want and what you want to do, and you can't lose it. You can't lose the tone in your heart. Do you understand what I mean?" Duan Wei spoke sincerely.
"I understand." Li Ding answered seriously.
"That's good, that's good." Duan Wei nodded, and then pointed to Fan Lihua. "Let the five hundred leader escort me with the cavalry, and we can discuss other matters after taking over the Taiyuan troops left behind in Wuyang."
"Okay." Li Ding was naturally speechless.
Duan Wei nodded again, then finally reined in his horse and turned, parting ways with Li Silang under the sunshine of the spring afternoon.
Li Ding watched the opponent and hundreds of cavalry go south, and was not in a hurry to get on his horse, but continued to stand in front of the pontoon bridge, supervising the troops to cross the river and turn back.
Just when the Wu'an army was easily recaptured by Li Ding and the troops were about halfway across the pontoon bridge, the army, led by Zhang Xing, had completely broken through several lines of defense deployed by Han Yingong. But at this time, I don't know whether it was luck or unlucky.
Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong have also arrived at the battlefield.
Accompanying the arrival of the Grand Master, there was a huge golden chess piece floating in the air and a golden sword, but other than that, there was nothing else.
It was obvious that the pursuing troops were too numerous and scattered, or each had their own agenda, and could not continue to maintain the previous pursuit status.
"Let's make a move!"
"Why do you always seem to be so impatient?" Bai Hengqiu, who had always been livid, turned around and asked. "Didn't we make it clear in the camp before dawn?"
“I’ve made it clear, but this time it’s not that I’m impatient, but that I’m afraid that you won’t dare to admit defeat.”
You should know that the most taboo thing in playing chess is to be entangled in the situation when the situation has been decided! In this game, if you can't hit a hit that day, and you can't stop it last night, you should just do your best and listen to fate. Moreover, if the world is used as the game, then
The chessboard is so big, so there’s no need to delay going to Dongdu to place stones and Kansai to raise dragons!”
Bai Hengqiu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Yes, Mr. Xue is more understanding than me this time."
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and flew forward. The huge chess pieces seemed to be nothing and followed him unimpeded.
The rear army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately rolled up a large purple flag. It was obviously Xiong Bonan himself holding the flag.
A flag with the word "deposed" was cut behind it, but Bai Hengqiu ignored it at all and actually flew straight over. The big flag followed immediately, but it was obviously a step behind in speed. The soldiers behind him saw
In addition to this, coupled with the previous night and the experience during the first battle, he fled like a frightened wild horse, but the speed difference was too far, and he could only flee into the fields on both sides of the official road like waves that were separated.
Seeing Xiong Bonan chasing behind him, and Zhang Xing leading a group of gang elites in front of him to encourage groups of ice energy to turn back, and the Thirteen Vajras were unknown, Bai Hengqiu did not hesitate, and suddenly brought enough
Huge golden chess pieces with a radius of several feet were thrown towards the army group in front of him that had not had time to split up!
As soon as the son fell, the sound of exploding into the sky covered everything, and the flow of time seemed to be temporarily stopped.
After the explosion, countless soldiers were wailing and panicked. Deaths and injuries were everywhere. A huge crater suddenly exploded on the huge and smooth official road. It was the peripheral officers who were trying hard to maintain order and gather the troops. It was Xiong Bonan's purple color.
The flag was flying toward the pit. Han Yingong, who had already fled to the field on one side, suddenly turned back with his heart pounding. The troops from all sides within a radius of dozens of miles looked at him in surprise.
After Bai Hengqiu struck,
He was not in a hurry to leave, but declared in the air: "Zhang Sanlang, I want to destroy your momentum with a surprise attack. I am arrogant. You don't need to talk about this disaster. I will tell the world that you have succeeded! But the world is in a good situation."
, can bear all things, not just you and me, but everyone in the world will come to compete in this game. Who wins and who loses depends on everyone's efforts! The only thing is that you have to
, I want Jackie Chan, and other families may have their own opinions, but you and I will definitely be at odds with each other!"
"What Mr. Bai said is absolutely true! In this single battle, our gang lost thousands of elite men. If we hate this, we should be incompatible with each other! Not to mention that the gang will depose your dragon!" Zhang Xing immediately
He raised his voice in the mist and answered without any hesitation.
"Both each other!" Bai Hengqiu suddenly smiled, then ignored the purple flag below and flew south without looking back.
As soon as this man left, Xue Changxiong immediately put away his sword and walked away. Han Yin Gong went to the city of Xiangguo County on the west side as agreed with the army without raising his head.
As for Chief Zhang Xingzhang, he stood in the mist on a yellow gelding, watching the opponent disappear with an expressionless face, but he felt relieved and worried at the same time. After all, this blow not only officially ended the battle that had long been over.
The curtain also made the people around here realize the majesty of the Grand Master again, and it also clarified the positions of both parties!
If the Gang wants to truly establish a career, it must depose this dragon!
"Save the people, then leave! Don't stop, we'll talk to you when we get to Dalu Ze!" After regaining his senses, Zhang Xing immediately dismounted and ordered. "Carry all the wounded on the horse, arrange the bodies on the spot, put them in the pit first, cut the trees to cover them, and come back later.
Pay homage!"
The people around him responded enthusiastically, and several experts even went to cut down and get the wood themselves. The surrounding fog dispersed, the golden light disappeared, and the true face of the entire land was revealed again.
In the evening, the main force of the breakout army finally arrived at Dalu Ze.
Mainland Lake covers a vast area, intertwined with water moors and harbors. In the spring, almost all the reed flowers have been blown down by the spring breeze, but the lush new green intersects with the withered and undefeated old reed trunks, making them more dense. This makes it difficult for troops to disperse once they disperse.
It is difficult to find traces, and no pursuers will choose to invest in it.
The army entered and was quickly separated by the terrain, and then settled down separately. Zhang Xing and others only found a low-footed earth hill that was obviously piled up with mud during the dredging of the river. They also hurriedly landed to rest and had no choice. The troops had reached their limit and could not hold on at all.
Went down.
In fact, as soon as I sat down, the reports came one after another, and most of them were bad news:
"I took a rough summary on the way, and I checked again just now. It is estimated that there are more than 6,000 people left, and more than 20% of them are injured with limited mobility."
"So many people died in the battle? Our five battalions plus some scattered ones total more than 10,000 people!"
"No, there were too many people separated. I estimate that more than a thousand people died in this breakout."
"It's still too much. Don't forget that there are Xu Dalang and Xiao Zhou, especially Xiao Zhou's armored cavalry battalion. They suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. This time they lured the enemy and were flanked."
"Yes, not only this breakout, but also the head-on battle with Bai Hengqiu at the beginning, there were many casualties."
"It's useless to think about this now. The key is the present. What is the biggest trouble at hand?"
"There was a complete shortage of food. We broke out with only dry food for a day and night. We ate one or two meals, but lost a lot. I'm afraid we won't even have enough for a single meal."
"Then let's have a meal first. Manager Cui will take charge of this matter. He will collect the reeds, boil water with his helmet, make rice and cakes, catch any fish that can be caught, and eat aquatic plants, crabs, and toads! If you can't kill the injured horse, don't do it.
Delaying dinner!"
"Eat this meal first, but don't kill the horses unless you have to. Many horses are just exhausted and will be needed when we return to the plains later."
"The ordnance is also missing. The armor and weapons are too scattered on the road."
"So we have to wait here for reinforcements. We need reinforcements to pick up the troops, and then go to a safe place to rest properly before trying to turn back."
"That's all. But can the reinforcements be trusted? We are only nominal subordinates to Northern Shanxi. We only have a few lines of personal communication. The Northern Demon Guards are not even allies." Wang Shuyong suddenly raised a question.
"Don't worry about that." Ma Wei slumped on a pile of reed poles and panted. "When Bai Hengqiu suddenly left Hongshan and came to Hebei, everyone was divided into one and the other.
As long as those people in northern Shanxi and the northern region have not defected to Bai Hengqiu, they can rely on them at this time; secondly, now that Bai Hengqiu is gone, they will not betray easily; thirdly, we have many experts, so we are not afraid of them!"
"Then when will they arrive?" Wang Shuyong thought for a moment and then asked. "Or have they already arrived and got lost in the mainland? Or maybe they encountered some coalition troops and couldn't walk?"
Many people seem confused about this issue.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Gongshen, who had been silent, saw that the others were silent, and then he said seriously: "How about I go look for him and greet him? Go further north to Xiangguo County, Zhao County, and Dai County.
I'm actually quite familiar with him, and I've also met Chief Zhang's uncle over in Beidi."
"No need!" Zhang Xing immediately waved his hand. "If they get lost in the north of Dalu Ze, we will light a bonfire soon, and they will naturally find it at night. If they haven't arrived yet or are blocked on the way, wait until tomorrow to invite King Xiongtian and
Leader Wu Da will just go north for a while. Gongshen, you don’t want to go. At this point, you just treat yourself as dead in this battle. Anyway, we will never let you take risks again. What accident really happened?
We people will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
Zhang Gongshen thought for a moment and nodded directly.
After saying this, many people became more relaxed. In addition, the bonfire had been lit, and many people who were originally standing began to sit down and lie down.
Ma Wei, who was only catching his breath, tried hard to stick to his job responsibilities and continued: "Actually, it is one thing to doubt the stance of the reinforcements, but whether the reinforcements have second thoughts is another matter."
"What's the meaning?"
Around the bonfire, everyone became nervous again, and Zhang Xing didn't react for a while.
"Although we escaped, we were stranded, with many casualties and many casualties, and our armor was incomplete. More importantly, we were alone behind enemy lines, and we had to rely on reinforcements. Those people who don't have a close relationship with us, what if they treat us with contempt?
What to do?" Ma Wei obviously had a lot on his mind.
"That's not the case, we have the territory behind us, it's just hanging out temporarily." Wang Shuyong frowned. "At this level, is there anyone who doesn't know the power of our gang?"
"It's hard to say, especially in the northern part of the country where information is isolated. In fact, there are some mixed tribes of shamans and tribes in northern Shanxi. They are short-sighted and very ignorant."
"It's really disrespectful." After supervising the main troops entering Dalu Ze, Niu Da came over and shook his arms to interrupt. "Up to now, everything is just to get out of trouble and go back. As long as you can go back, are you still afraid of being despised?
?”
From Xiong Bonan down, almost all the gathered leaders nodded and agreed. Even Ma Wei, who raised this concern, also nodded, obviously in agreement.
On the other hand, Zhang Xing just nodded, but had some inexplicable thoughts.
Just like that, as the sun set, the bonfire gradually lit up. But by now, everyone was exhausted. Even Xiong Bonan and Thirteen Vajras fought against the two chess pieces of Bai Hengqiu before dawn. In fact, they were all weak inside.
Therefore, after arriving at Dalu Ze, the entire army relaxed. After hearing Ma Wei analyze the situation and knowing that the last danger was actually not great, even these leaders were completely relieved.
For a time, the stars in the continent were scattered and could be seen from a distance, but they unexpectedly became quiet. In other words, the night wind picked up again. Especially last night, the sounds such as the groans of wounded soldiers and the coming and going of a few night watchmen were all wiped out by the night wind.
It was blown away.
However, at midnight, a large force of soldiers and horses suddenly entered from the east side of Dalu Ze, and immediately alerted the army that had regained some of its mobility. Xiong Bonan and Wu Jingfeng went to check it out together.
But they were surprised to find that the visitors were actually Xu Shiying, Cheng Zhili and Zhou Xingfan. The three of them actually led the two battalions that had been divided into baits to come here.
After struggling for a while, the troops gathered together, including Zhou Xingfan who was being carried, and the three generals came to Zhang Xing together. The leaders around him were all surprised and came to ask questions.
"How's the injury?" Even Zhang Xing, after seeing Zhou Xingfan's injury, quickly got up to check.
"It's okay, I can survive." Xiao Zhou, who had just been put down, blurted out next to the fire, interrupting Xu Shiying's introduction. "It's just a pity that the Jiaqi Battalion suffered a lot before, and this battle is even worse.
We are separated a lot, and this is probably the first battalion in the army to be crippled. I really feel sorry for the brothers above and below."
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers and horses will be reunited after they are separated, the camp will be raised again after the camp is destroyed, and the people will be raised again after being injured. As long as you act with a clear conscience, no one can be sorry for anyone?" Zhang Xing, who had come to rest, immediately raised his voice to comfort. "You
The brothers in the Jiaqi camp are the foundation of the gang!"
Xiong Bonan also said immediately: "Yes, good men are all beaten out. After today, who dares to say that your armored cavalry camp is not the foundation of our gang?"
When Xiao Zhou heard this, he nodded calmly, accepted this statement, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that Zhang Xing and Zhou Xingfan were conversing properly, Xu Dalang stepped forward and offered the Jinglong Sword in his hands: "Chief, I'm glad you did not disgrace your order. I brought this sword back to you!"
"How can there be any reason to take back something that has been sent out?" Zhang Xing glanced at Xu Dalang and suddenly smiled. "I said last night that from now on, when you come to hold the sword for me, it will still be for the count."
Xu Dalang wanted to speak, but Chief Zhang Da looked around and issued a military order: "Everyone, I gave this sword to Xu Dalang before. My original intention was to worry that we would be isolated from the base area when we broke out from the northwest, so we could not care about each other, so I entrusted Xu Dalang with military affairs there.
Now that he is here, I still mean the same thing. Xu Dalang is both wise and courageous, and has extraordinary valor. More importantly, he is able to move up and down, does not have distracting thoughts because of his change in status, and always works hard without complaining. He is indeed a hero for us to help our family.
How can we not entrust him to be reused? Now let Xu Dalang handle the military affairs of the army! In order to return to the army as soon as possible!"
Xu Dalang didn't feel numb this time. He just bowed and took back the long sword with complicated emotions.
At this time, Zhang Xingcai looked at Cheng Dalang, but just nodded: "It's good that Cheng Dalang is here! Xiao Zhou is seriously injured, the Jiaqi Battalion is your old unit, you can lead it temporarily!"
He didn't even ask the other party why he gave up his duties as the prefect of Pingyuan.
There is no way, there are too many things, too many people, and the army is too exhausted. I can only talk about the key points, and my mind can only be on serious matters and key people.
Of course, the most important point is that Zhang Xing knows very well that there is no one more shrewd than Xu and Cheng here. There are some things that are tacitly understood and can be expressed later.
Sure enough, Cheng Dalang just nodded and said nothing more.
But when he got here, Zhang Xing thought about it and suddenly remembered something important. Then he was not in a hurry to rest again. Instead, he continued to speak slowly beside the fire: "Everyone, since everyone is here,
The soldiers have also slept peacefully, and it’s time for me to tell everyone the truth."
All the leaders were surprised.
"The Fulong Seal only broke into pieces after one or two confrontations with Bai Hengqiu when the Taiyuan Army overtook them that day." Zhang Xing said, taking out a small bag from his arms, pouring out the broken copper seal shards, and spreading it out.
In hand. "I have been bluffing Bai Hengqiu from that day on, and this matter is of great importance. Under tight siege, I dare not tell anyone to listen."
From Xiong Bonan down, almost everyone fell into a strange atmosphere of silence. Almost everyone was dumbfounded. Wu Jingfeng even went to check it out with his own hands after shaking his body for a moment. Of course, almost everyone believed it immediately.
, but this did not stop them from being surprised by this matter. Even Xu Shiying, who had come back to his senses, felt a little energetic at this time.
So cruel. This person actually endured it!
"Also, I have an idea. It's just an idea. I just came up with it." Zhang Xing poured the shards of Fu Long Seal to Wu Jingfeng and continued. "If Bai Hengqiu retreats quickly, the coalition forces will be destroyed beyond control.
And if our reinforcements can be reunited in time, then I want to try to go south and go back from Wu'an-Wuyang-Qinghe!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Shiying was shocked.
"It means killing someone to get back the job." Chief Zhang replied frankly. "Who to kill?" Xu Shiying was still uneasy.
"Li Ding." Zhang Xing gave the reply. "His soldiers and horses were taken away by Bai Hengqiu during our breakout. No matter what the process was, even if he took it back easily, the morale of the army would definitely be shaken. Our morale will be shaken.
This is the time to fight back."
So bold!
Xu Shiying was a little shocked, but she quickly thought about the possibilities.
"Caught him off guard?" Ma Wei asked seriously. "Forced him to surrender?"
"yes."
"But the prerequisite for success is that Bai Hengqiu moves very fast, and other coalition forces also move very fast, so that no one has time to turn around to support, and Li Ding must be frightened." Xu Shiying analyzed carefully. "Only a few reinforcements are needed.
Thousands of people are unlikely to scare this person, right?"
"Indeed, but if that's the case, we will take the opportunity to turn around and flee back to the plains from the original battlefield." Zhang Xing said simply.
So cunning!
Xu Shiying sighed in his heart, but shook his head repeatedly: "In addition to Bai Hengqiu, there are two other great masters, Wang Huaitong and Cui Tuan. The former is likely to return to Taiyuan from Wu'an, and the latter is on our way back. We are in such a mess that we can't even finish our meal."
I don’t even know where it is, it’s still too risky.”
"Yes, so it's just an idea." Zhang San smiled instead. "We'll see how the situation develops." Xu Shiying and others had nothing to say.
In the dark night, with the south wind blowing constantly, Li Ding, who was not aware that Zhang Xing was bold enough to make his own plans in the Black Emperor's Temple in Wu'an County, showed no joy at taking back his military power. Instead, he stood in the lobby of the Black Emperor's Temple.
Look at the sculpture of Black Emperor in the hall with a slightly angry and contemptuous expression.
He seems to be struggling with something, and he seems to be enduring something.
In the open space outside the lobby, there are dense military tents, which are his Wu'an Army.
