Chapter 244 Array (10)

In the rain, Bai Yousi and Sima Zheng stopped on the hillside of Mount Li. One held a sword and the other held a spear. They each held down a big tree for a break and confrontation. The two trees swayed slightly, and many water drops fell.

.

Even masters of Chengdan cannot hover safely at very high altitudes. That is the privilege of Grandmasters or Grandmasters, and because of the scarcity of Grandmasters and Grandmasters, no one knows whether their willfulness in the air has any "tower" effect.

"Assistant... Think about it, if this matter was so simple, there would be no way to ascend to the Heavenly Gate.

In fact, these two top masters on the battlefield, the most outstanding talents of the younger generation, old friends from the Eastern Capital, and probably still relatives from the Western Capital period, have long lost the slightest bit of master posture. They have been desperate for an afternoon

The high-intensity confrontation made them panting and sweating profusely, but they did not dare to easily remove their protective energy.

"I kind of know."

The shouts of killing below once again rolled up like a wave. It was Zhang Xuguo who launched the central charge. Sima Zheng, whose face was covered with sweat, took a glance and smiled dryly at the opposite side. "Why are there so many condensation pills in history books and novels?"

, the Chengdan master was stabbed to death by an iron spear...Without the Qi, we may not be as safe as ordinary soldiers...I should learn from you and wear a suit of armor."

Bai Yousi did not respond to this sentence, because she knew very well that the other party was just like herself. Although he was in a mess, he could still hold on. However, Xiong Bonan and Zhang Changgong, who had met several times before, seemed to be in some danger...

…Those two people are really fighting for their lives. They have been fighting for several days in a row. The confrontation started early today. Now, the political and military groups that they have a strong sense of belonging to are all fighting for their lives, so they have to intensify the confrontation.

, seeking victory or defeat to change the situation of the war.

Relatively speaking, although Sima Zheng and himself did not let go, because the battle came late, they each knew well that it would be difficult to defeat the other party before the war ended, so they both had a simple mentality of cheating.

No one can deny this.

"look!"

Bai Yousi suddenly said, "Do the two armies below look like two people rolling and wrestling in the mud?"

Sima Zheng was startled for a moment, then immediately nodded: "Both armies are start-ups. A year ago, they were both farmers in the east. They are powerful and equally powerful. So what if they don't roll around? Do you still expect to see something devastating?

What kind of armor is like a forest, what kind of military formation is like a disk, what kind of cavalry charge, where the armies collide in a majestic manner, only to be destroyed by an avalanche in a quarter of an hour?"

"That's not what I meant." Bai Yousi shook his head. "I was thinking, why is it a grassroots army? Why are ordinary people who were farmers a year ago coming to fight this war?"

Sima Zheng's heart moved slightly.

"This battle can clearly determine the ownership of more than ten counties in the Eastern Territory; and the ownership of the Eastern Territory is enough to bring about a change in the world; a great change in the world is enough to bring out a real dragon and split the mountains and seas." Bai Yousi continued. "

But in this kind of battle, the soldiers on both sides are only farmers from the upper reaches of Jishui River and farmers from lower reaches of Jishui River, and the generals on both sides are only powerful people from the upper reaches of Jishui River and powerful people from lower reaches of Jishui River...those high-ranking families, those strong men and noble families.

, where are all those so-called heroes?"

"What do you want to say?" Sima asked seriously, but his heart was equally puzzled and agitated. He actually wanted to ask this question vaguely, but it was a little vague. Instead, Bai Yousi said it for him first. "Still.

What did Zhang Xing say to you?"

"It's not Zhang Xing, it's the result of what I saw and thought along the way after the sage went south to Jiangdu." Bai Yousi looked at the other party with a complicated expression. "I thought the world was about to change, and those big shots should come out to turn the tide, but

Except for people like Cao Zhongcheng who had no choice but to step forward, the rest of them were more reserved than the last, and more scheming than the last. They always wanted to hide behind and steal the fruit, and were always worried that they were stepping up for others, or even earlier, the saint.

Isn't it similar to treating the world as a child's play and turning around and fleeing to Jiangdu?

"On the contrary, farmers, herdsmen, bandits, deserters, gangs, and powerful people were forced to stand up and fight to kill. They killed in a messy, dirty way, and they were like wallowing in the quagmire right now. But it just happened that

This kind of quagmire battle seems to open up the situation and promote the overall situation...

"Sima Erlang, you are known as a hero. Come and tell me, who is the real strong man in this world? Who is the one who really decides the overall situation of this world? Is he superior or inferior? Is he noble or inferior? Is he high on the tower?

Those people, or these people wallowing in the quagmire?

"And who are you and me?"

Sima Zheng was silent for a long time, and then slowly answered amidst the shouts of death below: "If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have to keep staring at your Zhang Sanlang asking questions, and I wouldn't have to keep him in my imagination to see him.

What is the answer... However, now that things have happened, even if we are not the protagonists in today's quagmire, we are rarely involved, so there is no need to belittle ourselves... The world is big and the current situation is fierce, let us see for ourselves

The result is!"

"well said!"

Bai Yousi narrowed his eyes, and the long sword in his hand suddenly swung sideways, and a dark golden sword light nearly ten feet long suddenly shot out, but suddenly disappeared. Immediately, the true energy around his body surged, and wind blew in the sky.

It caused the trees all around to sway together and threw out countless water droplets.

Sima's face was expressionless, and the iron spear in his hand was raised straight up, placed across his chest, and then glowed with light. When the unknown wind from the opposite side swayed over, it inexplicably failed a few feet in front of him.

The two of them paused for a moment. Bai Yousi raised the long sword in his hand, as if drawing a semicircle in mid-air, and then a pale golden glow of true energy suddenly bloomed around the body, and the whole person was raised horizontally like a long sword, struggling with all his strength.

Lunge forward.

But at the same time, Sima Zheng also waved his spear, and the glowing energy in front of him suddenly bloomed, but it was like a shield, facing him first.

The two men stood still and moved, fighting in the air. Suddenly, there was a heavy wind and rain around them, and the light and darkness were intertwined, causing the two armies in the quagmire below to lose their color.

In the ditch at the foot of the mountain on the east side, which had accumulated water into a real quagmire, Wang Shuyong looked up at this scene. Perhaps because of his better eyesight and the shorter distance, he was almost the first one in the ditch to react, and then he scolded his subordinates.

Continue to detach a team of people to support the critical center.

But before that, he glanced across the battlefield, and suddenly saw that, more than a hundred steps away, General Yu Baimei was still on his horse, still in a daze with his subordinates.

Obviously, the officers and generals who knew deep down that their own army was in greater danger from the perspective of the entire army seemed to have greater expectations for the outcome of the battle above.

But it didn't matter at this time. Wang Shuyong, who was slightly moved in his heart, spread his legs, lowered his head, lowered his center of gravity, grabbed the large iron bow and arrows wrapped in oilcloth from the back of the guard behind him, and then ignored the mud and dirt and leaned on

He reached the side of the trench and immediately bent his bow and drew an arrow.

In this battle in this season, bows, arrows and crossbows are destined not to be the protagonists, but that does not mean that they are not qualified to be on the stage.

Just after taking a deep breath, the noise around him suddenly started again, and the originally stagnant battlefield seemed to have come back to life. Wang Wulang did not hesitate, taking advantage of the ups and downs of his natal vitality in his Dantian, and tried his best to spread the vitality.

Pushing along the eight extraordinary meridians to all parts of the body, he leaped high into the sky, and the bow and arrow that had been filled with Lihuo Qi were also driven away with great effort.

In just a moment, taking advantage of the visual field advantage brought by the height advantage, an arrow filled with zhenqi was shot towards the exposed face of Yu Baimei who was still on the horse.

Possibly due to the rain or lack of preparation, the arrow was obviously shot crookedly, but it still succeeded... As the people around him exclaimed, the arrow hit the opponent's shoulder socket.

Yu Baimei was in pain and roared loudly on the spot, shocking everyone to see him. But precisely because of this, the military general did not dare to dismount easily to deal with the injury. He just broke the arrow in public and hurriedly ordered his troops.

strive to move on.

However, when the soldiers around looked at the scene, some were greatly inspired, while others were obviously a little frightened.

After all, Yu Baimei was not only the commander of the flank at the foot of Mount Li, but also an important part of the high-end combat power of the army. Once he was injured, many things became less confident.

Wang Shuyong succeeded with one blow and was not greedy for more. When he fell behind him, he directly handed the big bow back to his guards. Then he continued to hide in the ditch and gave orders to his subordinates. He then separated a team to go to the middle to provide support, and the rest were still here layer by layer.

Resist to delay the official offensive.

I also quickly put on my spear and waited for possible hand-to-hand combat.

At this moment, the war situation has reached a very critical stage.

The deposed dragon army gritted its teeth and waited until most of the official troops entered the scene, then launched a plan to complete the bypass, and continued to strengthen the rear troops and try to tighten their pockets.

The awakened officers and soldiers were forced to split into two because of the width of the battle line, and tried to attack from two directions to open the passage... Among them, the north side was due to the chaos of the returning troops. The most critical moment had not yet been reached, but Zhang Xu

The southern front, commanded by Guo personally, has reached their most promising moment.

The two main leaders on both wings, Shang Huaizhi, were killed and his troops were annihilated. Niuda was forced to give up and return to the formation and fled into the swamp. This gave Zhang Xuguo the biggest opportunity, and it seemed to be the last chance -

As long as the fortified area is penetrated, not only can the road be opened, but the victory or defeat can also be determined.

During the war, Xu Shiying and Zhang Xuguo noticed a strange phenomenon happening on the mountainside of Lishan Mountain at the same time, and then noticed Yu Baimei's injury at the same time.

The two of them were naturally happy and surprised.

But soon, as Yu Baimei himself roared on the battlefield, Zhang Xuguo decisively regained his panic and continued to lead the assault in person. At this time, he and the "Xu" character on the opposite earth barrier

The young general under the banner was already only a hundred steps away. The so-called visible from a distance, the two sides could even vaguely see each other's expressions.

Moreover, both sides knew the identity of the other party without a doubt. One must be Zhang Xuguo, the commander-in-chief of the march to the east of the Wei Dynasty, and the other must be Xu Shiying, the leader of the Western Front of the Deposed Dragon Gang whose name he had only heard a few times.

...But at this time, both sides are actually playing a similar identity, that is, the frontline commanders of the two armies on this local battlefield.

Even though the two of them were obviously both at the core level, and even though there were only three lines of defense between them, a hundred or so steps away, neither of them attempted a one-on-one duel. Instead, they focused everything on the advancement and defense of the battle line.

Because they are not generals like Wang Shuyong and Yu Baimei, they are commanders responsible for the overall situation.

It may be a bit absurd. A Guanxi veteran and a powerful man from the East were nothing a year ago, but in the second year after the Emperor of Wei abandoned the north and fled to Jiangdu, he was dragged into this position by the current situation and became a face-to-face person.

The opponents were responsible for a battle with a total of about 60,000 to 70,000 people, which determined the ownership of the Eastern Territory, the rise and fall of the rebel armies in the world, and the fate of the Wei Dynasty.

Xu Shiying sat there, letting the rain hit his helmet, but said nothing. He knew that he had made mistakes before, and he also knew that he had taken all remedial measures in time. There is nothing to say now. He sat here and waited.

When reinforcements arrive, wait for the other side to come over and fight bravely.

In theory, Zhang Xuguo should have a similar mentality - just keep moving forward.

But Yu Baimei's injury made him extremely shaken... He had begun to worry that even if he broke through to the forefront, he would not be able to defeat at least Xu Shiying and Wang Shuyong, and maybe Li Shu or one of Zhang Sanlang.

combination.

In addition to the lack of high-level combat power, there is a deeper consideration. That is, in this assault, the casualties of soldiers on both sides increased significantly. If the casualties of the rebel army were caused by tactical errors, then the casualties of the Qilu soldiers on their own side were probably

Tiredness shows up at a certain point.

In other words, the combat effectiveness of the troops is likely to plummet from this point on.

Suppressing these thoughts, Zhang Xuguo personally killed several people and broke through another trench with difficulty and determination.
To be continued...
