Chapter 315 Tiger Row (16)

"General, General Guo will be defeated at the first touch, and the bandit army is menacing, why not stick to the camp?"

Seeing the torch blazing, Wang Yu, the general of the Zhonglang, suddenly stepped forward, holding the reins of the horse of the coach Xue Changxiong to speak.

"What nonsense?" Xue Changxiong shook the reins, and immediately scolded, causing the red cloak behind him to tremble suddenly. "At this time, if the camp does not come out, the whole army will be defeated. The only chance of victory is to go forward! Go back quickly and prepare to fight with your heart!"

Wang Yu didn't dare to say much, so he could only let go and make preparations in a hurry.

A moment later, the official army battalion was also in full swing, and the gates were all opened. Afterwards, tens of thousands of official army main forces poured out one after another, but it was a typical formation of crane wings.

In contrast, the oncoming Dragon Army, which is only three or four miles away, is naturally a typical frontal formation.

But in fact, neither side is deliberately forming an formation, but a formation formed naturally because of the convenience of marching.

Murong Zhengyan was ordered to send more than half of the masters who practiced more than half of the strange scriptures in the headquarters to the central army. After returning to the main formation, he greeted the deputy general and his brother Murong Huailian and a few cronies. After a short observation, he couldn't help feeling nervous:

"With such a formation, I am afraid that the victory and defeat will be determined in only one morning! Either we destroy the first ten battalion heads and flank reinforcements of the bandit army head-on, and win a magnificent victory with the rolling bead curtain, or they Gritting our teeth to resist, the follow-up heavy troops flooded in, causing us to be frustrated across the board and unable to support... Therefore, when there is a fight later, there is no need to leave any leeway, we must do our best."

The lieutenants and cronies all agreed, but Murong Huailian still couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, can't you retreat to the camp and stand firm after being frustrated?"

"No!" Murong Zhengyan explained seriously. "One is that our camp was built hastily and there are no sufficient defensive facilities. The other is that our camp is mostly composed of civilians and auxiliary soldiers, and a few county soldiers. Not only can't stop the soldiers, but the whole line is shaken after the defeat. cause a crash."

The faces of the people around were tense, but they did not dare to refute.

"Seventh, sixth." Xue Changxiong swept across his youngest son Xue Wanquan and sixth son Xue Wancheng under the commander-in-chief in the center of the army. He obviously struggled a bit, but still clenched his teeth. "At this point, the three of us, father and son, must work together... You two could have, and should have, stayed in the camp as a backup, but no matter who goes, it will make your brothers separate, and it will be even more important for us The father and son stayed on the spot to dissatisfy the military masters who were finally sent by the various ministries behind them... So, in this battle, the two of you brothers will lead my headquarters and serve as the two wings of our army. We are bound by life and death!"

The two brothers immediately bowed down and said yes, but they couldn't help but look at each other, and then each of them burst out in their hearts - they both knew what their father meant, this battle was really dangerous, otherwise why would they say such a thing?

Seeing that the two sons knew each other, Xue Changxiong no longer had any hesitation, but clenched the straight knife in his hand, and rode straight to the dethroning dragon army formation three miles away... It was really as announced before, with the commander in chief Identity, rushing to the front of the army, going forward indomitably.

As for the commanders of the various troops in the surrounding army formation, they all had their own thoughts when they saw the commander-in-chief leading the way.

Of course, under the leadership of the leader wearing a black and white cloak, the Chulong army marched northward without stopping, but they didn't even bother to engage in scouting battles.

The sun rose from the east, and the huge armies of the two sides faced each other in the north and south on the plain. It was fair and just, and even the sun did not favor anyone.

It is probably because both sides have already realized the tragic consequences of the huge army colliding. Therefore, in the last distance, the coaches of both sides chose to use their respective flags to suppress the speed a little.But the distance of more than three miles is really not enough to see.It seems that just for a moment, the two sides have already approached a very dangerous distance.

At this time, neither Xue Changxiong nor Zhang Xing seemed to be able to control the huge inertia of the two armies, but it was also possible that the two sides didn't want to stop the army at all, so they sped up a bit instead.

Everyone thought that the beginning of this battle was another collision between the two zhenqi formations who had fought three times before.

Everyone guessed right, but they also guessed wrong.

When the distance between the two sides was hundreds of steps, the Zhenqi army formation had not yet appeared. Suddenly, the southeast side of the Dragon Army turned to the direction of the division, and a golden light flashed across the sky, coming straight to the front side, which was not conspicuous in the middle of the huge army formation. , the few people who noticed also guessed that such extreme speed and obvious radiance, it is likely that Bai Sanniang, the Yitian sword, was going to join the army in front of the dethrone dragon army... That's what Xue Changxiong thought.

However, within a few breaths, the typical trace of glowing true energy suddenly turned around a little in front of the formation of both sides, and flew very high and far in the air, actually coming straight towards Xue Changxiong's handsome flag, and almost just Within a few breaths, there was no time to observe and react, a streak of glowing true energy several feet wide suddenly appeared in midair, then condescendingly, brushed the top of Xue Changxiong's head, and swept down towards the handsome flag behind him.

Xue Changxiong hastily circulated his zhenqi, raised his straight saber in his hand, and at a distance of three feet above his head, he produced out of thin air a full two or three feet long golden saber that seemed to be solid, but the golden saber didn't have time to move, so he Hit by the oncoming golden light, they dissipated together on the spot.

Bai Yousi, who was wearing leather armor, a warrior crown, and a white cloak, missed a hit, but turned around a little, and then leaped towards the south to defeat the dragon army. He did not forget to laugh before the battle: "General Manager Xue The situation really is nothing more than this!"

Come and go, hit and laugh, no reaction time at all.

Xue Changxiong was an expert, panicked in his heart, and fully understood why the Youzhou Army collapsed overnight, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and laughed aloud instead:

"Today, let me discipline the younger generation on behalf of Brother Bai, and smash your Yitian sword!"

As he said that, his body was full of qi. In the morning sun in early spring, a big sun was formed on the flat ground, which complemented the sun that had just risen in the distance, and a golden knife that was several feet long and seemed to be real was easily reborn. in the air.

The masters of various scriptures who gathered behind him for the first time obviously lacked experience in forming such a large formation, but seeing this posture, they had never eaten pork or seen pigs running, and they all temporarily released their true energy and joined in.

But at this time, under the banner with the word "拍" on the red background, Zhang Xing's true energy had already been circulating non-stop, but he first condensed into a formation, and then suddenly increased his speed, took a breath, and rushed first!
Bai Yousi was coming towards him, but he didn't dare to enter the formation directly, but he dodged it, and then he chased into the formation from the side.

As soon as he entered the formation, Zhang Dalongtou clearly sensed that the true energy in the formation was churning, and the improvement was obvious, but he was more confident and rushed forward.In front of the great formation of brilliance on the opposite side, a ray of purple light rolled up the flag with the word "拍" and threw it at the great formation of true energy on the opposite side.

Xue Changxiong also cut out the golden sword.

Next, the two zhenqi formations collided face to face, and the golden knife against the purple flag was like thunder on the ground, or a thunderbolt in the sky, but to the people around, it was more like two huge bronze bells suddenly appearing in the middle of the battlefield ahead It's like bumping into each other.

After a collision, the true energy dissipated and rolled away in all directions like waves, and the entire battlefield immediately neighed continuously.

As for the two groups of people inside the bell jar, they were dizzy and their mouths were shaking violently. There were even unlucky masters of strange scriptures bleeding from their orifices on the spot, falling off their horses and dying.

The entire battlefield was inexplicably quiet for a while, but the next moment, the armies of both sides seemed to have received a signal, and immediately erupted with loud shouts of killing. The two army formations, which were many times larger than the Zhenqi army formation, were even more like monsters. Howling and bumping into each other.

The formations of both sides are tight and wide.

The first ones were of course Zhang Xing's camp led by Jia Yue and Zhou Xingfan's two battalions, Wang Xiongdan. Most of the people who bumped into them were the rest of the headquarters assigned by Xue Changxiong to his two sons, with a total of [-] officers and troops. A small part is Wang Yu and Feng Duan on both sides.

Among them, Jia Yue lived in the west and bumped into Xue Wanquan and Wang Yu; Xiao Zhou lived in the east and bumped into Xue Wancheng and Feng Duan.

And then, more eastward, Wang Zhen, who arrived first, led the 3000 Dengzhou Army, and met the nearly [-] people of Zhonglang General Dou Pi's troops face to face, but they were quite far apart.

The battle broke out in full swing.

In the chaos, in the cold zhenqi array, Zhang Xing reined in his horse on the instantly hardened mud with the unsheathed Shocking Dragon Sword. His eyes swept across the battlefield, and he was thrown to the south after the collision. The golden zhenqi army array at the side has a stern look.

Besides, Zhang Xing knew from the first time he collided with the opponent that Xue Changxiong was a half-bottle master who had just entered the ranks of masters, and he could not achieve the legendary unity of the army at all. Therefore, this large-scale In combat, the opponent, just like himself, inevitably makes a choice because of the conflict between the practice system and the command system.

In other words, for the smooth command of the troops, theoretically, the true energy formations of both sides should be greatly weakened compared to the previous few times.

But in fact, both sides actually maintained their previous power.

Zhang Xing here is the replacement of Bai Yousi, Wu Jingfeng, Xu Shiren, Chen Bin, Qian Tang and other masters.As for Xue Changxiong, I thought he had split half of the troops, plus Chen Bin and Wang Fubei turned against each other, plus most of his Zhenqi formations were high-ranking commanders, this time the Zhenqi formation was very difficult. It might have dropped by more than one level, but I didn't expect that the opponent, facing a life-and-death battle, actually bottomed out and rebounded. He successfully summoned the practitioner resources of his army leaders and continued to forcibly maintain an army formation.

Of course, Zhang Dalongtou was not nervous or afraid because of this, because one was up and down the other, since Xue Changxiong had recruited these people who could not be recruited normally, it meant that the combat effectiveness of his troops would decline accordingly.

It is nothing more than the fact that the balance of victory depends more on the outcome of large-scale army battles, and on this point, the Dragon Army still has the advantage.

And the reason why he looked stern was that he realized through this action that Xue Changxiong was not completely at a loss by the unexpected attack of the dethroning dragon army. This person still had a strong desire to survive, and he chose in time The correct tactics, the allocation of combat resources as much as possible, in order to continue the pursuit of possible victory.

This battle still needs to be desperate, and it is also necessary to seize the opportunity to fight.

"Zhang Longtou."

At this moment, Chen Bin, who had been observing the surrounding situation, suddenly rode forward and pointed to a black background with the word "King" bordered with white not far to the west, and an obvious strand behind it was going south and trying to outflank it. The formation of the official army of Jia Yue's department may be the result of the collision just now, and his fingers trembled slightly. "If possible, we might as well look for an opportunity to lay down this army first."

"How do you say?" Zhang Xing asked while glancing over there.

"According to the number of people and the habit of deploying troops, it should be General Zhonglang Wang Yu and his troops over there." Chen Bin said seriously. "In the army, this person has always had the same position and behavior as me in the army, but he is inferior to me in everything. Now that I have turned from the dark to the bright, he must be the most shocked. In addition, this person has always been slippery. It can also be regarded as the weakest of all the ministries... the soldiers who beat him, who beat him with a big array of true energy, were disabled, and he was probably the first to waver and flee."

Several people around had obviously different expressions. Qian Tang and Jia Runshi, as well as some guardians with lower cultivation bases, nodded instinctively, but Wu Jingfeng, Xiong Bonan, and some of the gang elites with higher cultivation bases obviously Some hesitated and seemed to disagree.

After Zhang Xing was stunned, he didn't hesitate, and replied in public: "You can hit him, but not now! Now the officers and soldiers obviously have a breath of support, and they may not be able to make them escape. Let's fight Xue Changxiong's golden knife first. , Show off your aura and tell the entire battlefield that their greatest hope is nothing more than this, wait until the battle is in full swing, and then start with Wang Yu and try to defeat their army!"

"Yes!" Wu Jingfeng was overjoyed. "That's the way to fight!"

Chen Bin also nodded.

Instead, Bai Yousi raised his sword and pointed at the glorious army array that had been activated in the distance, and smiled back: "He is a master, what if this confrontation continues endlessly? Sanlang must have a number, how many swords do you want to fight?"

"Nine knives!" Zhang Xing blurted out. "Just follow the collision just now, and do another eight times! At that time, no matter the victory or defeat, turn to slaughter the large army of the officers and soldiers!"

This answer temporarily allowed everyone to achieve unity on the surface, so in the Zhen Qi army, everyone responded coquettishly, and then cheered up again.

The surrounding soldiers have already engaged in battle across the board.And just after the battle, they were encouraged by their respective coaches, and there were many brave, united, and meticulous people among them, but when they saw this scene, they all threw away all thoughts and hurriedly avoided as if they had seen a ghost.

But still not fast enough.

Another impact like a real dragon mountain ridge, and another golden knife flew out, but this time it was Wu Jingfeng who attacked from the Dragon Army's formation. His light yellow true energy brought countless dust and debris, rolled into A yellow tornado died together with the golden knife.

Many soldiers of the two armies who had no time to escape were directly shocked to death on the spot, and the sound of wailing also followed the trend.

That's not to mention, after the impact, the true energy dissipated, and the fallen sundries and dust mixed with the waves of true energy, scattered to the surrounding area within a radius of nearly a hundred steps, like a gray rain of sundries.

Even, there is a little red.

This is the violence of true qi, and it is the most common and deeply developed application of the so-called heaven and earth vitality in this world.

If Zhang Xing could stay out of the matter, he would definitely be moved, and he would definitely try to imagine, like Niu Dugong, a master-level expert who has truly mastered the skills and abilities of externalizing zhenqi, through the cultivation of alchemy and condensing alchemy masters layer by layer. What kind of state will it be to completely integrate the true energy formation and the military formation?
However, he was in it, so he didn't have time to think about it. He just tried his best to calm down the ups and downs, check the casualties as much as possible, and check the situation on the front line. At this time, Fu Boshi, Shang Huaien, and Wang Fubei are also about to fight up.

He was a little worried about the upcoming battle situation, because these three soldiers and horses had their own opinions.

In Fu Boshi's battalion, he kept a thousand elite Huaixi soldiers he brought, full of long knives and spears, with outstanding combat power; at the same time, Shang Huaien's battalion was the same as the others, although it was an entire army However, as the chief general, he himself is a general with extremely poor cultivation and low level, just because his elder brother was the first leader of the Dragon Clan to die in battle, he himself has always been obedient, and his subordinates are also recognized The immediate subordinates of , which appear here.

There is also Wang Fubei, Wang Fubei's combat effectiveness is unquestionable. I have seen it a few days ago, but he is a surrender. The surrender just last night was only because he was determined to come out with all his strength. Those who catch up, God knows if they will work hard?

In short, the combat power of the three troops in the second round is obviously uneven, and it is full of uncertain factors, so they don't know how they will perform at all.In particular, they will face the first wave of encirclement by the government and army.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xing couldn't stop at this time, because Xue Changxiong on the opposite side had already launched an attack on his own initiative... It felt like the coaches of both sides let the whole army attack each other, and at the same time, they were fighting each other to find the winner.

It's just that this kind of bout consumes too much and is too powerful.

At the beginning of the third round between Xue Changxiong and Zhang San, Zhonglang General Murong Zhengyan also began to lead his troops to formally fight. However, seeing his troops cross Feng Duanbu and try to encircle Shang Huaien's troops, the east Wang Fubei obviously turned to attack, he couldn't help worrying.After throwing the command over to his clan brother Murong Huailian so that the latter could concentrate on dealing with Shang Huai'en, he rode his horse to the east to seek Wang Fubei's explanation.

The two sides know the basics, and rely on their own cultivation, so they have no scruples, and they are only dozens of steps away before they talk to each other.

"General Wang, your position is very important. If you can come back at this time anyway, it will be enough to surround the Dengzhou reinforcements with General Dou and General Feng. At that time, let alone destroying this tired army, you will take advantage of the situation to overthrow the bandits. It's all possible...for such a great achievement, even the general will only praise you, and only say that you are a false surrender...why do you really want to be a thief?" Murong Zheng said earnestly. "This is the luck that Sanhui Siyuping gave you for nothing!"

"General Murong, are you joking?" Wang Fubei was speechless. "I'm not going to say that people gave me the position of leader last night. It's not easy to repeat it. I'm just talking about the officers and soldiers. Even warriors like me know that once this kind of thing is done, there will be rifts, and we can't tolerate it anymore. People... If Xue and his son are capable, it's not impossible, but whether they are capable, although you are a famous family, you are also a native of Hebei, don't you know?"

Murong Zhengyan was speechless, he could only persuade: "General Wang! They are all in robes, and they fought side by side the day before yesterday, so you want to meet swordsmen after only a day?"

When Wang Fubei heard this, he was very sad.

But at this juncture, the two overly dazzling light arrays in the northwest sounded thunder again, shaking the ground and making the ground tremble. It's useless! General Murong, I think I've been taking care of you for the past two years. If I don't come to attack you, I will be... But you, don't pretend to be a chaotic family. In this kind of battle, you are a master of alchemy, life and death It's not enough to watch... Live well, everything is possible, don't ruin your life for someone like Xue Changxiong!"

As he said that, Wang Fubei only waved his hand in the army formation, and the troops followed him to the northeast, facing Wang Changxie's troops further east.

Murong Zhengyan stood there staring blankly for a moment, although he obviously solved the crisis of being flanked by opening his mouth, he became a little flustered instead.

But on the battlefield, there is no way to think wildly.

Soon, a huge one-character flag loomed in the south where the smoke was billowing, and a general wearing a white short cloak, fully armored and wielding a long spear led dozens of armored cavalry to gallop from the smoke and dust in advance, far Just drink:

"Here is the leader of the Dethrone Dragon Gang, Dan Tonghai Dan Dalang of the Eastern Territory! Are there any brave men in the army?"

Murong Zhengyan saw the bandit army's support so fast, everyone was vying to be the first, he was already trembling with fear, but now he heard that he was a well-known rebel, he let out a long sigh, but he could only follow Dou Pi's example and lead a group of personal guards to meet him and fight Use your own cultivation base to cover one side of your own troops.

"Wang Fubei played half a trick! Both Fu Boshi and Shang Huai'en resisted... No, it was Shang Huai'en who actually resisted, and Fu Boshi hid himself!" After the third round, Zhang Xing couldn't help it. I jumped up personally, took a look at the situation, and then knew that the situation had changed with just one glance.

But these words, he only kept them in his heart, and as soon as they fell, he didn't change his face, and immediately ordered: "Quickly form an army formation, this time we will fight first... Chief Xu, it's your turn to attack!"

Xu Shiren quickly agreed.

At the same time, tens of miles to the southwest of the battlefield, at the east end of Douzigang, Xue Wannian, the third son of Xue Changxiong, turned pale and asked again: "Fourth, are you sure you want to continue to attack Douzigang? What if there is an ambush?" how?"

"Ambush and fight hard!" Xue Wanbi replied coldly. "The commander-in-chief will definitely take the opportunity to attack the camp of the bandits, who can hold on!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked forward into the Douzigang full of saline marshes and low hills.

Zhonglang Jiang Gao Zhan sighed and could only keep up.

And the second one to follow was Cao Shancheng.

Rao Xue Wannian was more honest, at this time he couldn't help but go forward on his horse and tugged the other party's sleeve as a complaint: "Mr. Cao, what strategy do you say you offered?!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Shancheng had an outburst on the spot instead, suddenly furious: "If the general had listened to my plan earlier, why would it be today?! Why did the thief take the initiative?!"

Xue Wannian was taken aback by the scolding, and was even a little dazed. After a while, he followed the queue and walked in.

On the main battlefield on the southeast side of the Mamian River, the speed of the battle developed faster than Zhang Xing imagined, because the battalions of the Dethroning Dragon Army behind them had different performances, different combat strengths, and different battle losses. In terms of combat speed, there is no ambiguity yet.

This led to the rapid expansion of the front line, and the superiority of the Dragon Army's strength has begun to appear.

Therefore, with the end of the fourth round, Zhang Xing hesitated, and then made a suggestion: "In the next round, I want the four Cheng Dans in the formation to attack together!"

The crowd cheered.

But immediately, Bai Yousi became serious: "Then can you hold on?"

"I can hold it!" Zhang Xing immediately laughed. "See if you can knock out two teeth of this old dog! Besides, isn't the best defense an offense?"

Three hundred steps away, Xue Changxiong looked at the gray-white Zhenqi army formation on the opposite side, and heard the shouts of killing in his ears, he couldn't help panting with his mouth.

PS: About the free thing... don't worry everyone, it's the wave from 4-10.
