Chapter 363: Clearing the Last Obstacle

After the banquet, Mai Ke and the others, together with the brothers Ruan Shiying and Ruan Shixiong, went to deal with the captured officers of the Royal Forest Army.

According to the original plan, these people still had to be dealt with by the Ruan Shixiong brothers, and the restrictions on them were only to prevent them from affecting the overall situation.

After carefully counting the number of people and taking the right seats, Ruan Shiying's face changed greatly!

Nguyen Shixiong hurriedly asked what was wrong. Ruan Shiying told him that the two brigade commanders of the Royal Forest Army who were most likely to be in trouble did not know why they were not among these captured people!

They're obviously here for the banquet!

After questioning, several Nguyen officers who knew the situation at that time said that they had just gone out before that and had not returned.

The situation is very serious, and if they are allowed to go back and pull their two brigades out against the expeditionary force, it will be a big problem.

Because their two brigades happened to be the two ace brigades of the Royal Forest Army: one was the Blue Dragon Brigade and the other was the White Tiger Brigade. The fighting power is very strong.

The two hurriedly found Mai Ke and reported this major hidden danger to him, suggesting that corresponding measures should be taken immediately. At the same time, he reviewed his own negligence.

Mai Ke listened, smiled bitterly, and arrived: "What should come is still coming, and it will be fought in the end." ”

Turning his head to comfort the Ruan brothers: "Don't worry, don't blame yourself, you have done your best." If they come out to resist the expeditionary force, it will also be a good thing, just so that they can see the military might of the expeditionary force!"

Then he said to Liuhua and Yang Wei: "Inform Shi Dakai and Ma Lanshi, officially launch the second set of preparatory plans, and closely watch the enemy's movements." Let's get there. ”

At the same time, the Nguyen brothers and the commander of the Janissaries were invited to watch the battle together. whispered to Chen Xi, who had been following behind him, and he turned around.

He was going to report the situation and the problems encountered to the Emperor, and to ask for his opinion, so that he could decide for himself whether he should also go and watch the battle.

When Mai Ke and the others arrived at the Royal Forest Barracks, everyone was divided into three groups and were facing each other there.

Among them, the Qinglong and White Tiger Brigade is one group, the one group loyal to Ruan Shiying, and the other group is naturally the expeditionary force.

The brigade commander of the Blue Dragon Brigade was called Zhao Qinglong, and the brigade commander of the White Tiger Brigade was called Qian Baihu, and when the two returned, they immediately gathered their soldiers and told them that the commander-in-chief had surrendered to the expeditionary force. They will come back and slaughter them. Now there is only one way to fight to the death.

Although it is said that these two brigades are the elite of the elite, but when the incident happened suddenly, they were also busy for a while before they gathered.

At this time. Other brigades were also aware of their movements. Although I don't know the specific reason for it. I don't know what the purpose of their gathering is, and they have taken corresponding actions, although there is no specific purpose. This kind of preparation still made the Qinglong and White Tiger Second Brigade dare not act rashly.

Shi Dakai and Ma Lanshi and other leaders of the expeditionary force had already dispatched their troops here in accordance with the deployment of the six divisions, and the Imperial Forest Army faintly constituted an encirclement situation.

Now all the expeditionary force, except for the two thousand who remained and the five men at each table who went to the feast, were here. Those who claimed to be officers from other places at the banquet were in fact officers of the teaching regiment, a total of 500 people.

In terms of numbers, the expeditionary force is now 7,500 people, and the Qinglong and White Tiger Brigade has 3,000 people each, for a total of 6,000 people. The expeditionary force has already gained superiority in numbers.

As soon as Ruan Shiying and the others arrived, the Royal Forest Army loyal to him, still numbering 14,000 people, also launched an offensive formation against these two brigades.

Zhao Qinglong and Qian Baihu found that the situation was getting worse and worse for them, and they blatantly launched an attack!

Its target was not its original comrades, because they knew that although the combat strength of the other Imperial Forest Armies was worse than them, it was still very strong, especially when they attacked and the opponent defended, further narrowing the gap.

If they don't rush again, as soon as the Praetorian Guards go out again, they will die and have no place to bury! In fact, the Praetorian Guards have already sent half of their men and horses to participate in the encirclement and suppression of them.

Now, these two brigades have been designated as "rebels" by the emperor.

Their goal was the expeditionary force! And they were all dispatched from the start, leaving no behind.

As soon as Mai Ke, Liuhua, and Yang Wei arrived, they came directly to the front line, and just as they were about to learn more about the situation, the enemy reacted and attacked to the death.

Mai Ke moved to the middle of the dispatch, and Liuhua and Yang Wei were separated from each other, just in time to meet the offensive front of the two brigades. At the forefront were two brigade commanders.

With a "bang", the six strokes blocked Zhao Qinglong, and Yang Wei blocked Qian Baihu, since they were all evenly matched.

The two generals fought, and the soldiers below also caught each other and fought each other. This time is unusual, waiting for the results of the fighter.

At this time, the benefits of tactical superiority are manifested. Although the elites of the Tang Sect who fought alone did not fall behind, they were all caught in the struggle one by one, and they could not solve the battle in a short time.

But the spear team of the Ma Troubled Times, Shi Dakai's broadsword team and the spear team are different. I saw that their spears were lined up in a forest to rush forward, and they stabbed forward in unison. Every step forward was accompanied by a loud shout, and the Zhangba spear also swallowed and swooped forward, attacking fiercely, which was simply unstoppable.

The big knife team is even more powerful, their weapons are all one-color Qinglong Yanyue knives, using a simple rotation knife method, only the person in front of them raises the knife and the chopping knife cross, there are always half of the people who are chopping, and the other half are raising the knife to be split. No matter how many people are in front of them, they will be swept up in this knife formation.

In addition to Yang Weikan on the right flank to block the enemy's offensive, Shi Dakai in the center and Ma Lanshi on the left flank had already repelled the enemy's attack, but pressed the enemy instead.

After a while, two counter-attacking teams attacked the two brigades of the Chinese army. Everyone kept moving, ready to take the brigade headquarters in one go.

Suddenly, the front door, which had been closed just a moment ago, opened widely, and two teams of heavy armor soldiers poured out of it, each with five hundred people. This is the old bottom of the two brigades, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he threw them out.

The two heavy armoured teams used maces, weighing 50 pounds, but they both held clubs with one hand and a huge heavy shield in the other, attacking with one hand and protecting with the other.

The attacking broadsword team and spear team were all blocked, and not only could not break through their resistance and continue to advance, but were forced back.

The other people who were pressed and beaten just now also took the opportunity to catch their breath, and then counterattacked.

Mai Ke did not participate in the specific battle, he was observing the entire situation against the enemy, and saw that the enemy's heavy armor was powerful, and knew that the enemy's strongest rear relied on at this time, and if it was not broken, the enemy might take the opportunity to escape. If it is broken, the enemy's morale will be shaken, which is equivalent to solving the problem at the last time.

He looked at the heavy equipment of those armored soldiers, the almost impeccable defense, and wondered how to break it.

After looking at it for a while, I suddenly smiled. (To be continued......)
