Chapter 241 Array (7)

Fighting broke out.

Yubai Mei's troops moved forward without hesitation, but Li Shu saw that they were still far away from their position, and Yubai Mei's troops were pursuing too fast, so they simply turned back to fight. The two sides came face to face, and a battle immediately broke out in the middle of the preset battlefield. As soon as the battle started,

The officers and soldiers of Qi County had the upper hand.

This is something that can't be helped. Li Shu's troops broke through last night. They have worked so hard and just tried their best to disperse another army unit. They are already exhausted to the extreme. They are not the opponents of the army who only advanced for half a day after eating in the morning, let alone fish.

The Baimei tribe itself is also the elite of Qi County.

However, it is obvious that from the fact that Li Shu asked Wang Shuyong in advance to continue withdrawing and ignore his actions, the leader of the left wing clearly expected this result, and he seemed to be carrying out his task of luring the enemy to the end.

But at the same time, this move did not conform to Zhang Xing's predetermined plan, or in other words, as an object that Zhang Xing could not directly command, Li Shu once again became the initiator of a battlefield accident.

"Dragon head!"

The sky had turned completely gloomy and the wind had picked up, but Zhang Jinshu was sweating profusely and bowed down under the rammed earth platform again. "It's been a quarter of an hour! Do you want to raise the flag?"

"Wait a minute." Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the horse, thought for a moment and gave the answer without looking back. "Let's see if we can take this opportunity to catch a big fish... Wait a minute!"

Zhang Jinshu nodded repeatedly and quickly returned to the queue behind the stage.

Zhang Xing finally looked back at the other party, and then he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He didn't blame the other party for being so panicked. In fact, he himself was panicked too, and he was just holding on on the surface. But the problem was this. This was the first time for the entire Deposed Dragon Gang to participate in such a large-scale battle. Anything that went beyond the plan

Anything outside the situation is likely to cause unrest and then cause a chain reaction on the battlefield.

In a word, everyone was panicked.

At the moment, from the most rational point of view, of course it is better to wait. It is best to wait until the core general of Qi County, Yu Baimei, has a great victory, advances, is blocked, and calls for the follow-up core main force. But since everyone is in a panic, once Li Shu's men

It collapsed, and the entire army collapsed due to fright, so what is this battle?

After thinking about it, Zhang Xing could only go back and call Zhang Jinshu: "Go and tell the ministries that Li Gong is luring the enemy according to the original plan. Don't panic. Let the ministries be prepared and use fortifications to meet the defeated troops... By the way, let the supervising troops get active.

Promote military discipline everywhere."

After receiving the military order, Zhang Jinshu, as if he had been granted amnesty, led his troops to execute it as if he were flying.

And a moment later, Li Shu's army, which could not even be called the end of the war, could no longer hold on, and began to lose control of its position. It retreated step by step, and its defeat was obvious... I believe that half of the troops inside belonged to Xiong Bonan's elite.

Good results.

However, just when Zhang Jinshu had just turned back and Li Shu's department was gradually collapsing, a light golden stream of light flashed past, and Bai Yousi suddenly turned back, with an extremely serious expression on his face.

"Something happened!" Bai Yousi looked serious.

Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly realized: "Sima Erlong?!"

Only Sima Erlong could bring such huge psychological pressure and such an obvious reaction to Bai Yousi. In other words, among all the known figures in the Wei Dynasty, below the Grand Master, Zhang Xing could not think of anyone who could make Bai Yousi suffer.

!

"That's right." Bai Yousi gasped and lowered his voice. "I tried my best to stop him, but I still couldn't stop him. He should have gone directly to the main force of Zhang Xuguo's troops on the other side of Lishan... I was originally

I wanted to chase him all the way, but I was afraid that even if I chased him, it would be difficult to stop him from shouting out loud, so I might as well come over and explain to you first."

The moment Zhang Xing guessed the whole story, he almost stood up from his horse - Sima Erlong's arrival completely changed the situation, okay?

But he still didn't stand up. Instead, he suppressed the rapid beating of his heart in his chest. After listening to the rest of Bai Yousi's words, he nodded slowly and analyzed slowly: "Sima Erlong comes over. There are two days left."

The biggest disadvantage. One is that he is a master of Chengdan. If he is left alone, he will probably be beheaded by his pressure, which is overwhelming..."

"So, I have to resist him!" Bai Yousi responded without hesitation. "There is no choice."

"Secondly." Zhang Xing nodded and continued. "After you leave, someone must replace you to perform interspersed tasks... There are not many candidates for this, and if you choose incorrectly, there may be big troubles, so you have to bite the bullet.

Bet on it."

Bai Yousi was slightly startled: "Sima Erlong informed Zhang Xuguo about the military situation here, do you care?"

"This has already happened, so there is no need to discuss it anymore. Besides, I guess this information may not shake Zhang Xuguo." Zhang Xing shook his head in response, and then looked behind him suddenly, confused by the news.

Zhang Jinshu stood frozen. "Put up my flag, and let Niuda attack along the edge of the swamp as mentioned before, trying to outflank Yubai Mei from the left wing."

Zhang Jinshu, who was just behind him under the stage, stood in place, swallowed his saliva, did not say a word or move for a moment, and seemed to be stiff.

Zhang Xing laughed when he saw this: "Chief Zhang, if there is a battle on all fronts later, even if you are doing this duty, you may be in danger. I will be really scared when the time comes. Instead of panicking, it is better to remain silent like this."

Just stay still so that people think you are calm and composed, so you can fool me like this!"

Zhang Jinshu came to his senses, immediately handed over his hand, and then hurriedly passed on the order under the watchful eyes of Bai Yousi and Zhang Xing.

After a moment, a group of about two to three hundred armored warriors emerged from the military camp behind the rammed-earth platform, followed by two to three hundred civilians. The former was divided into two, and most of them walked around the platform and headed towards the platform.

A small number of people immediately stepped onto the stage and erected Zhang Xing's red flag with the word "deposed" on the general platform, echoing the other flag with the word "deposed" that was moving in a panic but did not fall down.

At the same time, those civilians also swarmed in and arranged various flags and golden drums densely on and off the stage.

Immediately, most of the civilians retreated, and a small number of civilians beat the war drums under the command of the personal guards. The drums sounded almost hastily, and it was chaotic at first, but soon the civilians mastered the rhythm and started several large drums at the same time.

The rumble and rhythmic sound of war drums echoed at the foot of Mount Li.

As soon as the drums on the central general's platform started to sound, the drums on the surrounding positions also started up, and they became one. The generals and leaders, including the helmsmen who were qualified to represent each county, also raised their flags one after another.

The tribesmen no longer deliberately hid, and the troops poured out one after another, standing on high places in the fortifications, making noises everywhere.

Amidst the sound of flags and drums, the Niuda tribe came out first from the west left wing. Under the multiple cover of the shouts of death, flags, drums, and defeated troops, they directly tried to outflank the thousands of Yubaimei tribe.

In response to the move, Zhang Xing let out a long breath and still sat upright on the horse, but couldn't help but stretch his legs.

Bai Yousi looked around, holding his sword in confusion... Even a well-deserved proud woman like her, how could she face such a large army and such a battlefield with half a master's mentality?

Yu Baimei seemed to be aware of the change in the situation, and began to wave the general's flag hastily, trying to recall his troops to retreat. However, thousands of troops were still ordered to pursue hard one moment, how could they easily turn back the next moment?

In fact, after Yu Baimei had gathered a moment, Niudabu had already come over from the side. Although he did not completely outflank them, he had already bitten the Qijun vanguard force that had been advancing forward just now.

The situation has obviously reversed.

Separated by a mountain, the cries of death on the battlefield could not be covered up at all.

On the north side of Mount Li, Zhang Xuguo, who had finished dressing up, raised his head in confusion, as if he was looking at the sky and listening to the sounds on the other side of the mountain.

"Manager Zhang."

Sima Zheng, who was not even wearing armor, once again held up his hands in front of his horse. "This is Zhang Xing's plan. Listen to the officer's advice and retreat quickly!"

Zhang Xuguo came back to his senses, his face remained calm, and he immediately held the reins of his horse and returned the greeting: "General Sima, you said it was Zhang Xing who planned the game, but Li Shu was just the bait?"

"I don't know what happened to Li Shu, but Zhang Xing's plan is inevitable." Sima Zheng responded seriously. "What the escaped protector said is true...Zhang Xing took advantage of the generals' unpreparedness and threw them away.

All the defenses, combined with 40,000 troops, are dedicated to General Manager Zhang, and the terrain should have been surveyed and positions arranged long ago... And when I saw it just now, it is indeed the case, he even invited Bai Sanniang of Yitian Sword."

"Of course I can trust General Sima." Zhang Xuguo nodded, but his figure did not move at all.

Sima Zheng was shocked in his heart and was not happy but surprised.

Sure enough, Zhang Xuguo continued: "But General Sima, I have 30,000 soldiers, he has 40,000 soldiers, but 4,000 soldiers are used as bait. They have been here day and night, and they can no longer fight... Before you come here to do this,

Don’t you know?”

Sima Zheng nodded: "I am the soldier and horse that I saw just now, being chased by the general manager... Is it Li Shu's command?"

"As General Sima said, it's the soldiers and horses... In this matter, your Excellency said that Li Shu took the initiative to lure the enemy; I said that Li Shu and Zhang Xing were the two-headed snakes, each doing his own thing... It doesn't matter in fact. The key is that this

Four thousand soldiers can no longer fight." Zhang Xuguo explained calmly. "Your Excellency also said that Zhang Xing gathered 40,000 troops to wait for work; but I said that 20,000 of them were defeated by us just a few days ago.

How can it stand up to a hard battle and a big battle if it is barely gathered together? And in a big battle, in a hard battle, just a few plains, a few trenches, and some support, how can it be used to determine the outcome?"

Sima Zheng was about to speak but stopped.

"Also, now my trusted general, the vanguard General Yu, has penetrated deeply. If I advance, the life and death of his three thousand people will be determined by the overall situation of this battle; if I retreat, his three thousand people will be buried here.

This is no problem, right?" Zhang Xuguo still spoke with certainty.

But Sima Zheng still couldn't refute it.

"Finally." Zhang Xuguo suddenly paused before speaking slowly. "General Sima was first assigned to Xuzhou, and then he could not lead troops... He should also understand that as a general, how can he only focus on fighting? That's the guy opposite.

Zhang Xing, everything is as you said, weren’t you forced to accept the challenge hastily?”

Sima Zheng sighed in his heart, even though he didn't know what the specific situation was, he also understood that Zhang Xuguo must have internal reasons for seeking a war.

Where in the world is he the only one, Sima Erlang, who is in trouble everywhere?

Seeing that Sima's expression softened slightly, Zhang Xuguo finally twirled his beard and smiled: "That's it, General Sima, it's going to rain soon. I will lead five thousand of my troops forward to fight in person. If I can drive forward, I will

Win the battle and end it here; if not, just take advantage of the rain to rescue General Yu's men... What's the big deal? Besides, doesn't this mean that we have General Sima as a strong support again? "

Sima Zheng thought for a moment and was convinced by the other party. Instead, he surrendered his horse and said, "I should have tried my best, but Sanniang Bai is on the other side. I'm afraid I can only do my best."

"Why should General Sima look down on himself?" Zhang Xuguo laughed more and more. "Without you, letting Bai Sanniang and Xiong Bonan join forces would be really fatal. And I guess the reason why the thieves dare to come to fight is three points.

The certainty lies with Bai Sanniang, but now that General Sima has captured Bai Sanniang, the thieves must have lost their calculations and lost control... In this battle, the certainty is even greater."

At this point, the general manager of the march in the eastern border of the Wei Dynasty did not hesitate anymore and immediately turned around and ordered: "Stay here and tell Fan Hu that when he arrives, prepare here for a while and wait for my military order to make the follow-up march. If I can't

If you give the order in time, let him make the decision, whether to advance or retreat, and take charge of the rear military affairs."

As soon as the order was given, Zhang Xuguo did not hesitate and led his troops forward. The main force of five thousand troops set off immediately. When the flag of the marching commander turned over the protruding foot of the mountain, the rain of the day

Finally it started to tick down.
To be continued...
