Chapter 246: Zhikeng Wenzhong (2)
Wen Zhong didn't realize it at this time, all this was a trap, it was all a ploy, he thought that there were some capable people in the Zhou soldiers who rushed to rescue his king Ji Fa, he didn't want to give up at the moment, because he saw Ji Fa with his own eyes just now, he was trapped over there, missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to catch Ji Fa again, and there might only be one chance, so now Wen Zhong will not retreat if he says anything.
"Shield-bearers protect everyone! The archers are hiding behind! The other soldiers shrank together for a moment. ”
As soon as Wen Zhong finished giving the military order, he was wrapped by many shield players, and then the shield bearers came to the periphery of the whole army, maintained a good formation, and after many bows and arrows were shot, they were blocked by shields, and the casualties of the merchant army were reduced a lot for a while.
"It seems that the encirclement around is the weakest, but it's a pity that if it wasn't split in two, what would these Zhou soldiers be able to do if they rushed up directly? At the moment, it is important to break through first, and then go around in a roundabout way, and then attack Ji Fa's team, maybe it's not too late, everything can still be in time! Wen Zhong calmed down.
Here you can see how important the veteran is, constantly thinking about the way, even in such a dangerous situation, he is not panicked at all, he tries all means, but also to maximize the combat effectiveness, but also to be able to mobilize the troops in his hands as much as possible, and try to preserve the vitality, from this point of view, Wen Zhong led the troops is indeed a hand, but unfortunately it is on the right side.
"If Wen Zhong is a loyal minister of my Zhou Kingdom, how good would it be? It's a pity, it's a pity, it really belongs to the pearl secret investment, if it was the previous Shang kings of Di Xin, I wouldn't say anything, and the lord like the king of the stall really suffered a lifetime. Ji Fa couldn't help but feel sorry for Wen Zhong's fate.
But he cheered up randomly, maybe this is life and destiny, just like he became Ji Fa in this life, these are all arranged by fate, no one has stopped it, maybe Wen Zhong is still happy for his loyalty, and he has also won the trust of many Shang kings, and he feels happy, this may be the happiest thing for a loyal minister, he can be appreciated and reused by the monarch, and given great power, although some kings are more ignorant, but they trust Wen Zhong, and the one who is a confidant dies, Maybe that's the truth.
"Compared with Wen Zhong, the fate of those loyal ministers can be said to be very miserable, the death and escape, some were killed by the cruel criminal law, their loyalty was not only not rewarded, but even misunderstood and humiliated, just like this, the death can be said to be particularly painful, it is really uncomfortable enough to die with regret like this, maybe Wen Zhong thought of this, and became more loyal to the king of Zhou." Ji Fa pondered.
However, Ji Fa didn't have much time to think, he was fighting at the moment, and the merchant army was huddled together, he had to find a way to disrupt the defensive formation of the merchant army.
"Rolling wood and thunderstone, smashing towards the shield."
With Ji Fa's order, many rolling logs and thunder stones smashed down one after another for a while, directly smashing the formation of the merchant army.
Look at the evil soul Dao Chief, at this moment has escaped from the merchant army's troops, he just took advantage of the attention of all around, all focused on the ambush in front of him, directly and quickly cast a blinding method, and then a retreat directly left, the merchant soldiers will not notice at all, this is because of the blinding method he made, so that his afterimage is still on the horse, what the surrounding merchant soldiers see is just a fake self, just an illusion that remains by aura, there will be no special place at all, it won't take too long, It will automatically dissipate, and the evil soul Dao chief also cares a little bit, that is, his aftermath is that kind of panicked look, it looks more real, and he will not come down if he stays on the horse all the time, so that it will not arouse the suspicion of others, this point The evil soul Dao chief has studied for a long time, and he found that if he wants to escape smoothly, he must do this, so as not to make the surrounding merchant soldiers suspicious, otherwise, once the merchant soldiers are alert, he will immediately tell Wen Zhong, in this case, his situation will be dangerous, The main thing is that Wen Zhong's mana is not low, and if he drags himself in, it will not be a problem.
"If that's the case, what am I going to run away from now, I'll be caught." The Evil Spirit Dao Elder thought proudly.
At this moment, the Evil Soul Dao Leader broke away from the place of battle, and used the Swift Movement Technique to move quickly, and he used the voice transmission to Yang Jian: "Brother Yang, I escaped, where can I go to live for the time being?" ”
"Hahaha, the Taoist chief has a good means, let's go back to my camp first, I have explained to my subordinates, I will definitely leave you behind to entertain you after seeing you, I have arranged the password, the Taoist Yang Jian is like a brother."
When the Evil Soul Dao Master heard this command, he laughed, Yang Jian was very interesting in his opinion, so he immediately fled towards Yang Jian's camp.
After Yang Jian received the news, he came to Ji Fa's side: "King, the Taoist has escaped, and he has gone to my barracks to rest at this moment. ”
"Good! In this way, you can let go of your hands and feet, and you can do a big job, and all the soldiers will obey the order, and ten thousand arrows will be fired together! ”
Ji issued an order, all the rolling wood and thunder stones, for a time all poured out against the merchant soldiers below, and immediately smashed a lot of shield soldiers, the weight of the stone plus the speed of the fall, not ordinary people holding a shield can resist, directly smashed down, some of the soldiers holding the shield, can not bear the weight of the boulder, directly connected with the shield, was smashed down by the boulder, and then was crushed to death, some of the smashed was bounced away by the boulder, and then hit the rock wall and died, the rest of the shield was opened, He was then killed by a flying bow and arrow.
For a while, it can be said that there are thousands of ways to die, and then look at the almost zero casualties on the side of the Zhou soldiers, Wen Zhong saw this scene and knew that it was not good for them to go on like this, so he ordered: "Stabilize the formation, don't panic, gradually move closer to the enemy's right flank, and pass the word one by one." ”
Soon Wen Zhong's order began to spread, after all the merchant soldiers heard the order, the shield soldiers were in front, and the rest of the troops were behind, so they began to move to the right side of the Zhou army as a whole, Ji Fa couldn't help but admire after seeing all this.
"It is worthy of being the elite of the merchant army, it is at this time, and it can still organize an effective march, and the strategy is not bad."
"Report to the king, the merchant army is beginning to rout." Li Along excitedly reported to Ji Fa.
Ji Fa said happily: "Well, I also saw it, from the beginning of their retreat, it means that they have no reinforcements, it seems that the Taoist chief is right, this army is really Wen Zhong's private soldiers, and there must be no reinforcements coming." ”
Why did Ji Fa say this, it was because, he was in the high ground, and he could clearly see that the merchant army below was constantly changing, and he saw the neat and well-behaved merchant soldiers, even if they were trapped here, they could still be orderly, which can be said to be a major highlight, which also shows that Wen Zhong has a good way to manage the army, otherwise it would not have become like this.
At this time, a bow and arrow suddenly came from the sky, Ji Fa quickly pulled out the black sword, flew out to block the front of the soldiers, and directly made a move to the mighty Tianlong, and all the bow and arrow rain was knocked out, seeing that the enemy still had some action, Ji Fa was anxious and immediately shouted: "The shield soldier protects the soldier." ”
Then the shield soldiers in the Zhou army were all dispatched at this moment, erecting shields to protect the surrounding soldiers, different from other types of troops, the shield soldiers usually practice the most, is the body first, strength is second, after practicing the body method, these shield soldiers can be stacked together, and can protect more soldiers, as for the other differences, there is nothing to say about the strength of the practice, just to be able to raise the shield, so as to support the front of the protected soldiers, so that Ji Fa's defense is done.
Ji Fa looked at where the bow and arrow came from, it turned out to be Wen Zhong's side, and after ordering the soldiers to open the distance, he could order the crossbowmen to shoot at the position of the Zhou soldiers, if it wasn't for Ji Fa's quick response, then the Zhou soldiers would have begun to have casualties.
Wen Zhong was really anxious at this moment, he saw that the attack just now had no effect, and there was no nonsense, so he directly ordered the shield bearers on the flank, replaced them with strong soldiers, picked up their weapons, and then began to charge against the right flank of the encirclement.
However, the attack was not so smooth, this is because Ji Fa had already given an order, the shield soldiers guarded in front, and at the same time dug a deep ditch in the terrain, and the soldiers who guarded it were located on the high ground, and after the merchant soldiers pounced, they fell into a deep pit, and when the soldiers of the garrison attacked again, it was easy to do too much, on the other hand, after the merchant soldiers fell into the deep ditch, due to the height problem, they could not climb up quickly, at this moment the Zhou soldiers' knife and axe hands were ready, and they were cut directly under it, He was killed, which can be described as very happy.
All of a sudden, Wen Zhong's hopes were dashed, disrupting Wen Zhong's plan, which made him very helpless for a while, he needed to find a way to break through the encirclement and blockade of the Zhou army, Wen Zhong thought of the soldiers in the big camp, he had observed that there were not many Zhou soldiers here, and he only needed to send a team to come and relieve his siege and escape.
"What about reinforcements? Quickly call for help from the camp and call for reinforcements. Wen Zhong said anxiously.
"Taishi can't ask for help, so the words will be exposed." A pro-soldier said in Wen Zhong's ear.
"Then you can't watch the soldiers die miserably, oops!" Wen Zhong said helplessly.
The soldier said helplessly: "This is the only way to do it now, I will escort you away to save your life." ”
"Oh, really!" Wen Zhong let out a long sigh, very helpless.
