The northern thieves faced Liu Shijun's death battle was seen by Wang Laixing, and the stubbornness of the thieves this time was beyond his imagination. Turning his attention to the south road again, the soldiers of the Zhao Battalion, who had originally pinned their hopes on the defeat of the enemy in a battle, killed and injured many thieves and crossbowmen. But then the 1,000 rear troops on the South Road, although the quality was poor, they desperately resisted the further expansion of the results of the Zhao Battalion soldiers. Under the timely cover of the 1,000 thieves, the first-of-its-kind thief crossbowmen quickly regrouped hundreds of people behind the formation and began to shoot at the soldiers of the Zhao battalion. And what made Wang Laixing even more worried was that the 1,000 personal soldiers of the Wang monk's own formation on the side of the mound in the distance also began to mobilize at this moment. They probably drew half of their troops, as if they wanted to rush to the south road.

The plan of "upside down the 'phoenix'" didn't seem to be so easy to implement, and unconsciously, beads of sweat oozed from Wang Laixing's forehead. Fan Ju'an's face was even more tense, and his lips were pursed.

"Why doesn't the surnamed Ma move!" Wang Laixing looked at a place hundreds of steps outside the city. There, Ma Guangchun, who only sent 100 horsemen to wander and intersperse in the chaotic formation, pressed the remaining 400 horsemen, and stood still and calmly watched the battle.

At this time, Luo Wei, who was standing on the side, arched his hand and pleaded: "Command, the situation is urgent, there are still 100 soldiers and 500 regiments of our battalion in the city, you can go out of the city immediately to help the battle!" ”

Out of all the Zhao battalion soldiers and some state regiments to train troops to support the idea of fighting, Wang Laixing did not think about it. But at present, all the combatable soldiers in Suizhou are dragged outside the city by the thieves, and only the 100-strong Zhao Ying soldiers who can rely on the city are the strongest. And Monk Wang still has the strength to divide his troops to attack the city. Without the Zhao battalion soldiers in charge, the five hundred regiments trained the troops, and then a group of Zhao battalion soldiers went with the Zhao battalion soldiers, and on the opposite side was the red-eyed monk Wang, and the risk faced by the state city garrison was too great.

Seeing that Wang Laixing's face was difficult, Luo Wei persuaded and said: "Command, the life and death of the city are all related to this battle, if you lose, you will fall short." Now the thief army is suffering from fierce battles, and may not dare to divide troops and horses to take the city. Moreover, there are thousands of people in the city who have been summoned to standby, and this is the right time for them to go to the city to strengthen their momentum. In this way, the thief army is prepared for our city, and has no courage to attack. ”

Fan Juan also agreed: "This statement is reasonable. Even if it is a method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, it can only be used at this moment, and the change in the situation of the battle array is only instantaneous, and I am afraid that it will be too late to do so. Let's just give it a try, the thief army may not dare to divide the army and take the city! ”

At this point, Wang Laixing can only choose to fight. He said to Luo Wei: "After I leave the city, I will leave the matter of helping Fan Gong to defend the city to you." Tree more banners and send more people to the city, and be sure to frighten the thief army. ”

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked in surprise: "The commander wants to go out of the city?" ”

Wang Laixing smiled slightly and said: "All the soldiers are fighting against the thief army, as a commander, how can I sit idly by?" ”

Before Luo Wei could reply, Fan Juan immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "Hurry, General Wang is really heroic." As he spoke, he beckoned left and right: "Come on, take the official's long knife!" With that, two state soldiers carried a two-person tall iron long knife.

Fan Juan held a knife in his hand and said calmly: "Since General Wang is out, how can this official be willing to fall behind." If you play today, count me as an official! "Although he entered the military from the imperial examination, he was also proficient in martial arts and exercised. Usually know how to restrain the edge, so that people are not aware. However, at this time, with the weapon in hand, a murderous aura overflowed.

Wang Laixing didn't say much, only said: "Don't go out of the city without working Fan Gong, just stay in the city." "No matter how much Fan Ju'an can fight, after all, he is not tempered by a serious battle formation, as the soul of Suizhou City, he must not be moved lightly.

On the mound of the thief's main array, Monk Wang pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and looked around with a high view, and the battle between the north, the middle and the south was in full view. The 500 personal soldiers he had sent had already been sent to the south road, and they were fighting with the 100-strong army of the unusually brave army, and judging from the situation of the two sides being evenly matched, the south road should be safe in a short time.

Let's look at the other two. Although Zhang Fatzi in the middle road was pinned down by the official army, the official army on the north road did not have the strength to eat the nine dragons in one go, as long as he held on for a while, the situation would definitely take a turn for the better.

Thinking of this, Monk Wang suddenly felt a burst of joy. The officials and soldiers who are poor in donkey skills may finally be planted in their own hands this time. As soon as Suizhou is pulled, there is no restriction on his coming and going in the Suizao corridor, and he can attack northern Chu when he advances, and he can return to the camp with Wuchang and other places to join forces at all.

However, the news that the official army and Ma Jun, who had been in a wait-and-see state, began to move quickly reached his ears.

Perhaps feeling that the time was ripe, Ma Guangchun's command flag swayed at a very high frequency not far away. Immediately afterward, two or three hundred horsemen rushed into the battle formation from a distance, merging with the hundred horsemen who had been circling for a long time.

Monk Wang chuckled in his heart, thinking that this long-standing official army and horse army were only suspicious soldiers, and it seemed that they were also combat power.

After the official army and the horse army, Suizhou City opened the door again, and a large number of officers and troops poured out of the hole in the city gate. They numbered at least a thousand, but they did not immediately move forward, but waited in formation not far from the base of the wall, as if they were watching the situation. That's not all, just when Monk Wang was stunned, on the city wall, many flags were erected, which were mixed and dazzling. And under those banners, out of nowhere, many officers and soldiers appeared, and they couldn't see the equipment clearly from afar, but they felt that the forest was clear and invincible.

"Feijie's right battalion has moved."

Wang Laixing watched the city, saw the horse soldiers galloping on the battlefield, and temporarily stopped the order to charge the battle. On the city, Fan Ju'an, Luo Wei and others ordered the state soldiers and people to line up at the head of the city, and put up many banners to make a big noise.

Ma Guangchun is extremely patient in military affairs, no matter what else, just talking about marching and fighting, he can completely achieve the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him without changing his color. Although the Liukou fought in Suizhou, although the three formations were overwhelming and the troops were huge, after careful observation of their combat with the training camp, Ma Guangchun had already predicted that the Liukou would never have the ability to break through the city with one drum. Sending a hundred horsemen out first not only had the intention of further testing the Liukou, but also had the effect of stabilizing Wang Laixing's mind.

Those who lead the troops, do not invite the dignified flag, do not hit the dignified array. Ma Guangchun judged that the battle between the Liukou and the training camp would eventually fall into a tug-of-war, at that time, the three formations of the Liukou who originally had some rules would be messy because of the back-and-forth, and in such a delicate situation, the 500 horse army would be enough to become the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Knowing that it is easier said than done, watching one's own soldiers and horses fight more than once, or even once in danger and always standing still, patience alone is not enough, but also need to have a clear foresight and firm belief in the direction of the situation. Ma Guangchun knew the purpose of Zhao Dangshi sending him to assist Wang Laixing, for him, this battle could only be won, not defeated, so he was more calm.

As the fierce general of the Feijie right battalion, Guan San'er took the four hundred Feijie right battalion horses to the side of the Liukou on the south road, and the three Liukou formations had all been glued to the training camp at this time, and they had already lost the ability to respond to and support each other, even if they saw the sudden arrival of Guan San'er's department, it was difficult to take care of it for a while.

"Drop-beep-"

In Guan San'er's horse army, the bamboo whistle as a prelude to the charge was clear and penetrating. Without waiting for the southern route to mobilize troops to resist, the four hundred horse army divided into three ways and instantly penetrated the entire array. These cloth-clad rogue light soldiers scattered like paper men in front of the ironclad iron cavalry, and the hundred-man team sent by Guang Wenlu to attack the southern road took the opportunity to cover in, and the southern rogue who had been completely disrupted could no longer hold on, and it seemed to collapse suddenly after blowing up.

"Domination, do you want to attack?" The officers on the left and right asked Wang Laixing, who was still watching the battle.

Wang Laixing looked at it for a while, and then smiled: "No need, my upside-down 'phoenix plan" was done by Feijie's right battalion." ”

According to Wang Laixing's idea, attacking the enemy and attacking its weakness, you must first break the south road, Liu Shijun hit the north road, Guang Wenlu hit the middle road, looking lively, in fact, all the purpose is to contain them and prevent the aid of the south road. However, Wang Laixing obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the South Road Liukou, and it was difficult to completely repel the other party only by relying on a hundred people, so the whole situation was at a stalemate. At this time, Monk Wang's 500 personal soldiers went to the South Road again, and the situation on the South Road took a sharp turn for the worse, and he temporarily drew troops to fight in person, and also adhered to the idea of "it is not too late to make up for the dead", and was ready to seize the opportunity to reinforce the South Road.

However, the purpose of hitting the South Road is not to break the South Road and then connect the Central and North Second Roads. If you do that, the price is still too great, and the south road is only the first step of "turning the 'phoenix' upside down". In addition to the three formations, Wang Monk Shang led the remaining 500 personal soldiers to garrison the formation, if the south road is opened, the formation is difficult to protect, he will inevitably send troops to help, and when the formation is empty, it is a good opportunity for the officers and soldiers to make a final decision. Using the important but relatively less important southern route as bait, the king and monks were divided into the most important troops of the main formation, which inadvertently reversed the priorities on the battlefield, which is the meaning of the plan of "reversing the 'phoenix'".

It's a pity that Wang Laixing still lacks the experience of leading troops and the judgment necessary for generals. Ignoring the resilience of the rogues, the number of troops allocated to various places is also debatable, and the close contact with Feijie's right battalion is also neglected, and there are also problems in the timing of the battle.

Fortunately, Ma Guangchun helped him fill the hole.

When Monk Wang saw that the training camp was attacking the south, he was very nervous, and sent nearly half of his own soldiers from his own camp to help, and ordered 300 personal soldiers to prepare for reinforcements, but then saw that the south road was not in serious trouble, so he did not move. At this time, Guan San'er waited for 400 horsemen to divide five by two to rush the Liukou on the south road, and he hurriedly ordered the 300 personal soldiers who had not fought to be hurriedly sent, and now there are only 200 personal soldiers left in this formation.

"Upside down" phoenix" is also a trick that Ma Guangchun is good at, which can be described as perfect, but his name is "encircling the point to fight the king" - setting bait and not hitting reinforcements, only hitting the enemy commander. When he was in Fan Hecheng, he used it once, if it weren't for Zhao Ying's personal support division, he would almost steal the main formation. Good military action is not in the bizarre nature of its concept, but in whether the executor is resolute and smooth enough. In his opinion, this kind of tactic of playing with poor space is only the most suitable for the Ma Army.

Unconsciously, a few beads of sweat slipped down Monk Wang's temples. He really couldn't imagine that there were so many variables in this attack on Suizhou City. This is something he has never experienced before, the original deployment of the formation has made him a little overwhelmed, and now he has joined the official army and the horse army and follow-up reinforcements, and the momentum in the city has risen sharply, and it seems that everything is obviously bad.

The situation changed again and again, and it was really beyond his ability to command and respond, which made him panic, and his right hand, which had been tightly pressed against the hilt of the knife, began to tremble slightly lightly. Not long after the five hundred old soldiers came to the rescue, the bad news came one after another that the Wabei King and the King Zhang Wu, who were in charge of the command of the South Road, were killed by the officers and soldiers. He was in a state of confusion, not long ago, he was thinking about breaking Zhao Ying's vicious anger, but in a blink of an eye, he didn't know where he had lost it, and he really had the intention of retreating.

When the interruption is the most fatal, Guan San'er, who is used to fighting, will not give him a chance to hesitate. He has been fighting under Ma Guangchun for a long time, and he is extremely accurate in the timing of "encircling the point to fight the king". When the 300 soldiers who came to help were about to arrive, they turned their guns and led the horses, without dragging mud and water, out of the battle.

Wang Laixing, who had not moved for a long time, heard the undulating cheers more than a thousand steps away not long after, and sighed unconsciously. This sigh is gratifying for the result and ashamed of the process. Interlaced like a mountain, there is a specialization in the arts, the achievements of the Tuntian Army have increased his self-confidence day by day, and the battle of Suizhou City is a heavy slap in the face for him.
