When Zheng Fei led the cavalry to slash and slaughter wantonly on the dirt slope, ten miles away, in the forbidden army camp one mile away from Gaotang Prefecture City, Zhang Jidi was frowning and looking at the ongoing city attack and defense battle in the distance, his face was full of deep anxiety and uneasiness, and it was already difficult to find the confidence and pride he had when he first came here three days ago.

It's already the third day, and in these three days, no matter day or night, the forbidden army has carried out more than ten sieges on Gaotang Prefecture, and all the siege tactics and siege weapons that can be used have been used, but all of them have been repulsed without exception, and nearly 2,000 lives have been taken in vain.

This is not over, just last night, the Liangshan thieves in Gaotang Prefecture actually took advantage of the night to sneak out of the city to attack the camp of the forbidden army, relying on the terrible unknown bow and crossbow in their hands and shot more than 500 people, and what is even more frightening is that their camp tent is actually the target of their key shooting, and was completely shot into a hornet's nest by hundreds of arrows, fortunately last night because he couldn't take Gaotang Prefecture, he was depressed, and went to find Vice General Shen to drink too much and didn't come back, so he escaped a catastrophe, otherwise ......,

This is no coincidence, their purpose is to shoot themselves! Zhang Jidi felt a chill in his heart every time he thought of this today, he never dreamed that the Liangshan thieves would be so tenacious.

Starting from crossing the border of Gaotang Prefecture, he led the army all the way to the city of Gaotang Prefecture, and the three counties he passed along the way all carried out a stubborn counterattack against himself without exception, and caused considerable casualties to himself.

What particularly impressed him was the battle of Xiajin County, where two hundred thieves set up an ambush on a necessary road, and they resisted the advance of their 20,000 army for two hours with two hundred people, although they finally broke through their defenses after paying more than 400 casualties, but those 200 people did not flee, but fought hand-to-hand with thousands of officers and soldiers with flesh and blood, and finally killed all of them after killing more than 100 of them, and none of them escaped or surrendered!

Zhang Jidi still clearly remembers the eyes of the two hundred thieves who fought to the end looking at him before he died, it was a deep ridicule and contempt, as if to say, I have already killed enough, Lao Tzu will wait for you underground first!

This is the first time Zhang Jidi has seen this kind of thief in his 30 years in the army, this kind of thief who can be called a bandit! And then he learned that the reason why the two hundred thieves would rather die than run away at the expense of their lives was because they were fighting for the opportunity for the entire city of Xiajin County to escape to Gaotang Prefecture City, where the city walls were stronger......!

Warriors! Even if they are thieves, Zhang Jidi has to admit that they are indeed real warriors!

What's even more terrifying is that as he went deeper and deeper into Gaotang Prefecture, he found more and more that the Liangshan bandits were by no means the kind of rabble that he had heard about before the war, they were strictly disciplined, hierarchical, brave in battle, advancing and retreating together, not afraid of life and death, and cunning and changeable, with high tactical literacy! Where is this thief, this is clearly a real army, and it is an army that is more like an army than the so-called forbidden army in his own hands that lacks training all year round and has a vacancy of up to forty percent!

The only thing to be thankful for is that they have more people than them, but this "more" advantage has also been weakened a lot after three consecutive days of siege battles, and this battle is really difficult to fight......

Zhang Jidi looked into the distance again, and he didn't know what was going on with the four thousand subordinates who went to burn grain, he knew that he should have let them come back early, plus the four thousand people took turns to attack Gaotang Prefecture, the odds ......of victory might be a little greater.

"Report! Big things are not good......! A subordinate who suddenly rushed into the camp interrupted Zhang Jidi's thoughts, making his already boring mood even more irritated for no reason, and scolded angrily, "What's so flustered?!" "What a fuss, is there anything more upsetting now than the delay in capturing Gaotang Prefecture?

"General, I just heard a message from the rear that our grain battalion is under attack!" The subordinate hurriedly replied,

"What?!" Zhang Jidi's face changed greatly, "How is this possible?!" The thieves are all besieged in the city, who can attack the grain camp?! It's just that having said that, Zhang Jidi still picked up his sword and ran out, ordering as he ran, "Quick, all the Chinese troops will follow me...... Walk! "The situation of the grain camp is undecided, at such a critical moment, it must not be said that it is to save the grain camp, otherwise if it spreads, rumors will spread, and the army will inevitably be chaotic!

Thousands of Chinese soldiers were puzzled when they received Zhang Jidi's order, and then began to follow Zhang Jidi's horse in a panic and ran to the rear, and the Chinese army camp was suddenly in chaos.

On the city wall in the distance, a soldier of the Heavenly Dao Army pointed out to Wu Song, who was already covered in blood and was carrying a machete, and shouted, "Division commander, look, thousands of officers and soldiers have suddenly withdrawn. ”

Wu Song's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, he shook his head and said slowly, "It's not like it's withdrawing, it seems like something happened behind it...... What exactly? ”

"Ah, division commander, look at it again, it's smoking in the back!" The little soldier said excitedly,

Wu Song looked up, and was suddenly shocked in his heart, sure enough, in a long distance, it was also the direction where the officers and soldiers were going, I don't know what it was burning, and it was billowing black smoke, Wu Song's heart moved, and suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be ......, if that's the case, who would it be?

"Pass the order, the second brigade and the third brigade are ready to go out of the city with me at any time!" Wu Song said in a deep voice, "In addition, no one is allowed to act without my order, and it cannot be ruled out that this may be the enemy's trick to lure!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Zhang Jidi hurriedly rushed to the direction of the grain camp with 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry of the Chinese army, black smoke began to rise on the soil slope.

The black smoke is indeed raised by burning grain and grass, and the two thousand grain guards responsible for protecting the grain and grass are all infantry, if they rely on the high slope terrain, they may be able to resist the attack of the cavalry of the Heavenly Dao Army after successfully launching the defense, but as the Heavenly Dao Army attacks the high slope, the high slope is a vast flat land, coupled with the deterrent power brought by the tragic situation of four or five hundred people who have been killed in an instant, the more than 1,000 grain guards who responded to the battle in panic are not the opponents of the cavalry regiment, as for the remaining 2,000 military service, they are just some old, weak, sick and disabled, only responsible for transporting grain and grass, There is no combat power at all, and as soon as the battle starts, it has long been scattered and run away or hid,

In this way, Zheng Fei led the cavalry regiment to completely crush the fighting spirit of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in just a few rounds of killing, and the officers and soldiers had to escape, but fortunately, although the steep slopes on three sides of the high slope were steep but not dangerous, the officers and soldiers could roll down the steep slope, although they were embarrassed, but they also managed to pick up a life.

Anyway, Zheng Fei's purpose was not to kill them all, and when he saw them fleeing, he naturally did not stop them, but immediately ordered to start setting fires, the grain and grass were flammable, and the entire grain camp was soon on fire, and thick smoke was billowing out.

Not long after the fire was put out, some subordinates reported that thousands of officers and soldiers rushed from the direction of Gaotang Prefecture, Zheng Fei came to the edge of Gaopo to take a look, and snorted coldly, "It's coming quite quickly." ”

Hu Sanniang asked, "Zheng Lang, should we stay and fight with them or ......?" ”

Zheng Fei shook his head, "I really want to fight with them at another time, but not today, time in Qizhou doesn't wait for anyone!" ”

After that, Zheng Fei then ordered, "Send the order, gather all, and tell the brothers to put the soul breaking crossbow on the full string again, and before leaving, we will give Wu Song a big gift!" ”
