Chapter 120: Turning the Tables
Four days later.
The army led by the Hanzhou herdsman was mighty and had gathered under the city of Changping County.
The two sides confronted each other across the walls.
But the first battle was not smooth for Tang Xiao and them.
The two demons of the mountain frog and the thylac cat personally appeared to meet the Jindan monk of the Xizhou army.
However, General Lin of Wuzhou took out a golden bow and shot two arrows in succession, which actually injured the mountain frog.
Han Zhoumu then took out a ghost-headed knife and released countless powerful ghosts to trap the hands and feet of the mountain frog, and was about to behead the mountain frog under the city, thanks to Wei Yuxiao's timely departure and brought the mountain frog back.
Han Zhoumu and the others did not dare to rush into Changping County easily, so the battle ended because the mountain frog was rescued.
Tang Xiao personally visited the mountain frog: "Senior, you're fine, right?"
The mountain frog said happily: "Haha, I can't die yet." "He's optimistic, like the one who was hurt just now wasn't him.
The bag cat said angrily on the side: "How old is this demon, and he will be injured by a hairy boy, are you ashamed?"
Tang Xiao was speechless, the hairy boy that the bag cat said could call grandpa in his opinion.
Sure enough, if you live for a long time, everyone is a child.
The mountain frog pursed his lips and said, "It's not that kid who is powerful, but his magic weapon is powerful." That bow and that ghost-headed knife are not trivial, they are both high-level magic weapons that can hurt Brother Jindan. ”
"It seems that our intelligence is insufficient, and we didn't even know that the other party still had such a magic weapon. Tang Xiao sighed.
The mountain frog said: "It's not too late to know. ”
"Well, seeing that we can only go directly to Plan B!" Tang Xiao said seriously.
However, none of his plans are head-on.
On the same day, countless messenger stone finches were secretly released from Changping County.
Some of these messengers carry fake letters, and some carry ciphertext, which can only be translated by those who know the password.
By the third day.
Han Zhoumu was about to launch a new round of tentative attacks, but a scout came to report, and a number of unknown troops were found approaching in the rear, and the total number was estimated to be more than 5,000 people.
Han Zhou Mu was shocked, it was clear that the bandit army was surrounded by them in the county town of Changping County, why did there still be unknown troops in the rear?
He immediately sent people to find out the situation, and at the same time prepared the rear army for defense.
At this moment, the city gate was opened in Changping County, and the grass thistle mountain rebels rushed out of the city.
This abnormal move made Han Zhoumu instantly realize that the unknown troops that appeared in the rear were all enemies!
As it stands, they are about to be surrounded by enemy troops!
At the moment, there are two choices in front of Han Zhoumu, one is to resist the enemy, and the other is to temporarily avoid the edge and withdraw from the encirclement first.
Thinking that the enemy army behind him was unknown, he resolutely made a decision to retreat three hundred steps with the whole army first.
General Ge stepped forward to dissuade him, saying that this order might shake the morale of the army.
But Han Zhoumu said: "If we are surrounded by enemy troops, the morale of the army will also be shaken. At that time, we could not know the layout of the enemy army, and if the enemy army dared to go out of the city, we must have no fear, and we could only take the initiative by temporarily avoiding the edge. ”
General Ge was speechless.
And the master of the Deng Sect felt that Han Zhoumu was reasonable, and agreed with Han Zhoumu's approach.
The urgency of the situation did not allow them to think about it again.
In the end, Han Zhoumu issued an order according to his own judgment.
When this order was given, the soldiers did not understand the commander's decision at all, they just went out of the city later, and they were going to retreat, was it because the commander was afraid of the enemy?
Their morale was shaken as a result.
Even the most elite troops, in the retreat order of unknown circumstances, will look nervous, not to mention that this is still a mixed army, not too elite, in the face of the enemy rushing out of the city and they are about to retreat, their hearts can't help but panic.
When the soldiers of the Grass Ji Mountain Righteous Army hit the array of the retreating Xizhou army, the panic of the Xizhou army was suddenly revealed.
They fled in a frenzy, but there was little resistance.
The array was in chaos in an instant.
And they turned around and fled for their lives, giving the grass thistle mountain rebels a chance to take advantage of.
It's best to kill the enemy with his back to him, and the Grass Thistle Mountain Righteous Army rushes up and can reap the life of an enemy soldier with a casual knife.
Han Zhoumu saw that the array began to be disordered, and the whole person was anxious and angry.
However, the army at this time does not change at all according to his personal will.
It takes a long time to maintain military discipline, but it only takes a moment for military discipline to collapse.
Seeing that there was a problem with the array, Han Zhoumu could only order the generals to step forward to maintain the formation, and let the overseer team kill all the soldiers who fled indiscriminately.
But disaster doesn't come alone.
It should be said that Tang Xiao's arrangement surprised him not only so much.
The unidentified forces that had been behind them had finally arrived.
And as soon as they arrived, they immediately launched an attack on their rear army.
Han Zhou Mu looked at it and was stunned for a moment.
Those troops that appeared from behind them turned out to be the soldiers and horses of the entire county of the nearby six counties!
He didn't know exactly when these counties began to rebel, why didn't he hear anything about it?
He completely underestimated the preparation of these county guards.
These six county guards are the six county guards who were set up by Wei Yuxiao and Tang Xiao in the camp tent of the state capital army before, and they have already bowed to Tang Xiao.
And more than two months ago, they took refuge in the Grass Thistle Mountain Rebels early, so they naturally found out in advance the possible state spies in the county town, and secretly eliminated all these spies as soon as they launched a rebellion.
Originally, there were not many spies planted in the county towns of the state capital, and once investigated, it was easy to find out, and even many spies had already revealed their identities a few years ago, but the county guards knew that it was the state city and did not do it, and now, there is no concern about getting rid of these spies.
Han Zhou Mu was angry, but suddenly realized that in his army, many soldiers were sent from these six counties.
Will these soldiers be compatible with the outside world?
He did not hesitate to give the order to get rid of the soldiers of these six counties!
The other side.
Tang Xiao saw that the coalition army of the six counties had arrived, and immediately shouted to the Xizhou army: "Brothers of the six counties, your county guard has arrived, why don't you hurry up and wait for it?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Xizhou army became even more flustered.
They found that the entire army had been flanked from front to rear, and that there were enemy spies inside them, and their lives seemed completely insecure!
They couldn't tell which of the soldiers from the counties belonged to the six counties, so they were on guard against all the soldiers sent by the counties to support them.
And the soldiers of the six counties were very confused, when did their county guards collude with the bandits? Why didn't they receive any news in advance?
Now that the situation is urgent, what should they do?
Before they could think about it, Han Zhoumu's order had been issued, and the Warlord began to raise their butcher knives against them......
