Volume 1, Zhanwu Continent XIX, front and back flank
"Your Lord, the two-handed swordsmen will definitely not let your Lord down!" As soon as he heard that Chen He wanted to let the two-handed swordsman team fight, Si Pai suddenly came to the spirit, as long as he could win the local general, the two-handed swordsman team would be equivalent to making a great achievement, and his value as a military general would also be reflected.
"Okay, Moke, after the war, you will be by the side of Ben General, once Yan Wushuang appears, you will entangle him, and then fight and retreat, introduce him into the army, and then Ben will order the two-handed swordsman team to assist you and capture Yan Wushuang!" Chen He nodded and commanded.
Although Chen He doesn't like the battle mode of a one-man army, he can't deny one thing, a strong general is used well, it is easy to drive morale, and as a sharp knife, it will bring great threats to any army.
Although Mo Ke really wanted to lead the army to kill, he also knew that Yan Wushuang was more important, so after receiving the order, he stood aside, and he also knew about the two-handed swordsman team, and he had seen the combat effectiveness of the two-handed swordsman team, which was indeed very strong.
Ordinary elite soldiers, more than ten or twenty Mok didn't pay attention to it at all, so when Si Pai finished training the two-handed swordsman team, he took the initiative to challenge, and at that time he only used a wooden sword, but in the face of the siege of twenty two-handed swordsmen, he was injured after supporting three moves, and after ten moves, he was already covered in bruises.
Of course, the two-handed swordsman team also paid the price of seven "killed" and six seriously injured, and the dead were all cut by him and left the team automatically, and the serious injury was because even if he was holding a wooden knife, the powerful attack was really seriously injured!
After the battle, Spike told Mock that the two-handed swordsman still had a special move, which was reserved for the enemy, otherwise, twenty two-handed swordsmen would have at least seventy percent certainty of killing him, for which Mock snorted disdainfully.
After another four days, Zhuang Buqi and Dong Wantu had also received Chen He's military order, set up camp, and made a posture of trapping Qi Feng to death.
On this day, another purple signal appeared in the sky, Chen He knew that this was the Qifeng thief communicating again, although he didn't understand the specific meaning, but at least he could judge that an army of bandits must have been gathered outside the mountain, and the Qifeng thief must be ready to attack back and forth, and the real big battle is coming.
Similarly, Huo Miao, who was the main general in Qianzhai, also received a report from the scouts that 30,000 bandits had gathered and were rushing towards Qianzhai.
30,000 bandits, Huo Miao felt the pressure of meaning, but when he thought that they were defending the city after all, and Chen He still trusted him so much, he handed over the back road to him, and his heart was full of fighting spirit, and he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to fight, Delong, today depends on your brothers, if the front village is lost, the lord will really be attacked from the front and back, you and I will die of a crime!" ”
"Huo Miu, don't worry, now that you are the main general, I will definitely obey the order!" Delong hugged his fists and said, when he was in the cottage, Delong's status was higher than Huo Miu's, so Huo Miao was worried that Delong would not listen to him, but now he is relieved, as long as Delong listens to the order, then he still has confidence in holding the front village.
"Delong, the scout just came to report, saying that it was the group of bandits outside, and they brought more than 200 horses, didn't you always want horses, as long as you hold the front village, the lord will definitely hand over the horses to you and let you form cavalry!" Huo Miao also opened his mouth and said, he knew Delong's thoughts, when he was in the cottage before, he wanted to get horses, but there was no way, he has always regretted it, and now that the opportunity has come, he will also use his life for the sake of horses.
"Well, these two hundred horses must stay!" Delong said with full of fighting spirit, he wants to train a cavalry, he dreams of horses, but there is no way, he has a riding ability, but he can't get it into play, nominally the military camp he formed is called a cavalry battalion, but there is no horse, or rather, there is no horse under Chen He.
Three miles away, 30,000 bandits, under the assembly of Hu Shouyi, the second leader of Qi Feng and the thieves, were divided into more than a dozen teams, more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 people, all because of the prestige of Qi Feng thieves, they gathered together, because if they didn't send troops, once Qi Feng thieves eased up, they would definitely settle accounts with them, so whether they wanted to or not, they sent troops.
"You are in charge, my big boss said, there are only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, why are they three to one, and they are still fighting back and forth, the officers and soldiers will be defeated, and the big boss will show enough sincerity afterwards, thank you for being in charge!" has arrived at the front village, Hu Shouyi opened his mouth and said, before he relied on threats to let these bandits gather, but now they are really going to fight, if there is not enough interests, people can't work, and then they will suffer heavy losses or they are Qifeng thieves, so it's time to tell them that this battle is profitable.
As soon as he heard enough sincerity, the dozen or so gangs of bandits present had their spirits, and immediately said one by one with a haha: "The second boss is serious, we are not short-sighted people, the officers and soldiers have made it clear that they are dealing with the carriages and horses, if this is to deal with them, now Qi Fengshan is just bearing the brunt, we naturally have to work together, so that this group of officers and soldiers also know that we are not easy to provoke!" ”
"Haha, with all of you in charge, I don't have to worry about Fengshan! Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, my family should have already sent troops at this moment, why should we also quickly send troops, attack the front village, block the group of officers and soldiers in the middle village, and let them call the sky should not be, and the earth is not working! Hu Shouyi said with a laugh.
30,000 people to attack the front village together, naturally it is impossible, after all, the front village is also built on the mountain, the front is not wide enough to let tens of thousands of people line up, so after some consultation, each of them out of a part of the troops, formed a siege team of 3,000 people, carrying the ladder howling, waving the big knife in his hand, and began a vigorous siege.
Huo Miao was quite worried at first, after all, although they defended the city, they did not have bows and arrows in their hands, and they could not say that there were none, they searched all over the Qianzhai and found less than fifty bows and thousands of arrows.
Helplessly, he pulled out a pair of people at random, and gave them the bow and arrows, as long as they can pull the bow and shoot the arrow, it doesn't matter what the head is, anyway, once the city is attacked, the people below will be black, and the arrow may be crooked with their eyes closed. But with your eyes open, you shoot into the pile, and you can hit one crookedly.
Fortunately, looking at the bandits who rushed up, there were no bows and arrows, so I didn't say anything, just now they were, in this regard, their regular army, it's really true!
"Those bandits don't have bows and arrows, don't worry, only you fight them, they can't climb up, they can't fight at all! So, the stakes, the boulders, all for me to stabilize, the thing can't be thrown far, wait for them to get to the bottom, and then throw it down, throw it to a crowded place, stone one to death, stone two to earn one, if you can stone three at a time, you can wait for the Lord's reward! Huo Miao watched the bandits rush up, and began to cheer up the soldiers, to say that he is good at creating rumors, but he also has a few moments, very able to capture the hearts of the soldiers, a few words, but let the soldiers, their eyes shine.
"Archer prepare!" Looking at the bandits who were already more than ten meters away from the wooden wall of Qianzhai, Delong spoke, and at the same time he himself raised his bow, how to say that he was also a general, and he wanted to do something in general, so he temporarily led this group of temporary archers, and if the bandits rushed up, he would rush to kill again.
When the bandits were ten meters away from the city wall, Delong shouted: "Shoot!" The next moment, nearly fifty bows and arrows sparsely attacked, even at such a close distance, they only shot a dozen people, and there was no Delong among the people who were shot, which made Delong's face red.
"Free Fire!" After all, it is an untrained soldier, so Delong also knows that it is too difficult to let them shoot a salvo, so he simply ordered them to shoot casually, anyway, killing one is one, and if you can't kill it, it can also deter the bandits below.
Seeing the bow and arrow shooting, Hu Shouyi scolded secretly, this Qian Bao is really a waste, I don't know to take the bow and arrow away, they are less than a hundred bows in Qifeng Thief, and they are generally distributed to their Qianzhai, but now it is good, it was not used to defend the city, but it was captured.
"There are archers among the officers and soldiers!" As soon as they saw the bow and arrows, the faces of the bandits changed, if there were archers on the defending side and not on the besieging side, it would make no difference if they were looking for death.
"Don't worry, those are not the archers of the officers and soldiers, just some of the bows and arrows left in the former village, and there are not many arrows, everyone be careful, they will have no bows and arrows for a while." Hu Shouyi saw that several leaders seemed to be a little unstable, and immediately spoke.
At a distance of ten meters, after the bandits paid the price of dozens of people, they finally arrived under the wall, the ladder was on the city wall, the lock was fixed with a hook, and then began to climb, at the same time, Huo Mu leaned over and stared at the siege troops of the mountain bandits, and then gave an order, and the stones and wooden piers were smashed down the ladder.
Suddenly, the mountain bandits on Yunti were hit, and then fell down screaming, and by the way, they could smash a few more people, and the bandits who fell down, basically few could get up if they didn't die, and the siege battle officially kicked off.
On the other side, Chen He took more than 2,000 soldiers to the passage and hidden, and at the same time, the scout's reconnaissance also returned, and Yan Wushuang really came to Zhongzhai with ninety percent of the bandits in Dazhai.
"Okay, herald Zhuang Buqi and Dong Wantu, come to encircle Yan Wushuang immediately!" As soon as Chen He heard this, he immediately smiled slightly, everything is under control, and then as long as he completes the encirclement, he Yan Wushuang has three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to fly today.
The scout passed the order again, and Chen He ordered the army to continue to hide, and the scout kept reporting the progress of Yan Wushuang's army, perhaps because of the depth of combat power, so the pathfinder bandits arranged by Yan Wushuang did not dare to stay too far away from the army, which also led to Yan Wushuang not knowing that Chen He's army was already waiting for him at the other end of the passage.
When the scout reported for the last time, Yan Wushuang's army was less than three miles away from the passage, Chen He did not order the scout to inquire again, three miles, for the bandits who were advancing rapidly, it was only a quarter of an hour, and they could see the front line of the bandit army.
