Xiao Tianjian's timely arrival is undoubtedly a great news for the Xingtian soldiers and generals who are guarding Hexi Village, and for them who are already full of morale, it is undoubtedly to make them a higher level in morale, originally they thought that even if Xiao Tianjian received the news, I am afraid that it will take three or four days to prepare to get here, so they are all mentally prepared to fight to the death, but they did not expect Xiao Tianjian to rush here on the second day of the war between the two sides. Immediately, they were as excited as if they had been beaten.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers were also very surprised that Xiao Tianjian rushed here at such a fast speed, and the servant surnamed Xu immediately sent troops to try to intercept Xiao Tianjian's team and prevent it from entering Hexi Village, but only one face, it was rushed by Luo Li's troops, and fled back to the official army camp, and had to get out of the way, letting Xiao Tianjian and his party of more than 1,000 people enter Hexi Village.

After arriving at Hexi Village, Xiao Tianjian immediately checked the battlefield outside the village, only to see that outside the chest wall under the village, there were many corpses of officers and soldiers, and the air had begun to be filled with a smell of corpses, and outside the chest wall, a lot of crude shield carts were lost, and there were stains of blood everywhere, which showed that in the past two days, the officers and soldiers must have launched attacks on Hexi many times, but they have never been able to break through the defense line outside Hexi Village, but the losses are not small.

So he immediately inquired about the situation of the war in the past two days, and as soon as Li Xuanzhu heard Xiao Tianjian ask about the war situation here, he immediately told Xiao Tianjian with a smile on his eyebrows.

It turned out that after the attack was frustrated on the first day, the officers and soldiers changed their tactics, no longer rashly launched an attack on Hexi Village, but camped on the spot to build shield carts, and early the next morning, that is, the morning of the day when Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Hexi Village, they launched dozens of shield carts, sent officers and soldiers to push the shield carts, and under the cover of the shield carts, launched another attack on Hexi Village.

At the same time, the officers and troops also strengthened their firepower, and all the artillery in the generals were transferred to the front of the formation, and the defenders of Hexi Village were bombarded, in order to suppress the sharp firepower of the Xingtian Army and break through the chest wall defense line outside the village.

When the officers and soldiers pushed side by side to the chest wall outside the village, a large number of officers and soldiers hid behind the shield car, so as to effectively block the salvo fire of the fire of the firecrackers outside the village, and successfully pushed these shield cars to within thirty steps close to the breastwork, the officers and soldiers hid behind the shield car, and started a battle with the Xingtian army with three-eyed guns, bird guns and bows and arrows, and the situation was tilted towards the side that was favorable to the officers and soldiers.

The three-stage attack tactics of the Xingtian Army were also greatly limited at this time, and a limited number of small Fulong machine guns and tiger squat cannons could not smash these shield carts of the official army, seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to push the shield cart in front of the chest wall, at this time, the troops of the Xingtian Army suddenly lit a bunch of thunderbolt cannons (paper mines) that were ready, and threw them through the breastwork, and smashed into the crowd of officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield car. As a result, a group of officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield cart were suddenly blown up to the ground, and the camp was in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, a group of sword players and spearmen who were hiding behind the breastwork were ordered to climb over the wall, and when the enemy army was bombed by the thunderbolts, they smashed into the enemy formation and slashed and killed, as a result, the officers and soldiers fled again, leaving more than 100 corpses outside the village, and even a thousand generals were blown up on the spot and died in front of the battle.

In this way, the officers and soldiers were beaten without a temper, let alone breaking through Hexi Village, and even the seemingly simple breastwork outside Hexi Village, the officers and soldiers did not even touch the edge, but were beaten to the point that the soldiers were embarrassed.

After listening to Li Xuanzhu's words, Xiao Tianjian, Luo Li and the others also laughed, the Xingtianjun's shotgun and grenade tactics have a strong advantage in both field and defensive operations, and when facing an army with equipment that is inferior to the quality of the Xingtianjun, it can completely defeat the opponent without the power to fight back.

After a defeat in the morning, the official army launched an attack again in the afternoon, but it was still repelled by Li Xuanzhu's troops, and after two days, without Xiao Tianjian leading the troops to fight with the official army, the official army lost nearly 300 people in the attack on Hexi Village alone, basically completely beating the arrogance of the officers and soldiers on this road, while the loss of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army on Li Xuanzhu's side was very small, only less than 20 casualties, and the exchange ratio of the battlefield reached more than ten to one.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian's worries about this place also disappeared, so he rewarded a group of meritorious soldiers in this battle on the spot, and placed the soldiers and horses in Hexi Village.

In the face of such a difficult Xingtian Army, this official army from the direction of Qinyang suddenly had the intention of retreating, they didn't expect the Xingtian Army to be so difficult to fight, originally their intention was not to come here to destroy the Xingtian Army, and now that the reinforcements of the Xingtian Army have arrived here, they can't help but even Xu Yishi, who led his troops to come, is a little caught in a dilemma.

Have the heart to continue fighting, this Hexi Village was already so powerful before there were no reinforcements, and now a large number of reinforcements are coming, so if these reinforcements are still as powerful as the gang of bandits in Hexi Village, then their officers and soldiers are all dangerous, after all, they are a ragtag army temporarily pinched together, the generals are not familiar with each other, and they all have their own careful thoughts, afraid of war, and they all want to preserve their strength, combat effectiveness is really worrying, once they continue to fight, a little war is unfavorable, There is a risk of collapse on the spot.

But if they don't fight, they can't say it, they have only been out for two days, and the people in the Qinshui area know that the Xingtian Army is insufficient, if they just withdraw like this, it is estimated that Shangfeng will never spare them, there are not many crimes, one is afraid of the war, and their gang may be dismissed and imprisoned, especially he, the main general who led his troops to come, will become the finger of a thousand people, and there will definitely be no good end after going back.

So that night, Xu Baishi discussed with his generals for half the night, and finally did not discuss a result, some proposed to withdraw troops, some proposed to continue the attack, the two sides were deadlocked, and no one could have the upper hand.

In the end, Xu Tong had to neutralize the mud from it, so that the generals would not fight any longer, saying that for the time being, he would wait and see the situation of the Xingtian Army here, and not fight head-on with the Xingtian Army, so that he could drag the situation of the other two official armies and then say, if they can drag the soldiers and horses of these Xingtian Army here, let the other two officers and troops attack Yangcheng County from both sides, and the Xingtian Army here will have to go back to the other two directions, then they will have the opportunity to conquer Hexi Village from here and enter Yangcheng County. In this way, you have the best of both worlds.

After listening to Xu Baishi's opinion, all the generals settled down, and scolded this Xu Baishi in their hearts for being an old slippery head, but the generals had no opinion on the method he said, and it can be said that there is no more suitable way than this method.

So early the next morning, the officers and soldiers retreated into the camp, no longer launching a new offensive against Hexi Village, but began to strengthen their camp in the camp, and opened a posture to fight the Xingtian army here.
