After telling the inside story in detail, Jiang Jie suddenly realized:

"Hou Ye released those more than 180 people at noon, and now it seems that he will be able to persuade the defenders of Zhaocheng to surrender to our army!"

"Yes, but whether to surrender or not depends not on the commander, but on the defenders of the city. Judging from the current situation, there will not be too many defenders in Zhaocheng, and in the face of 50,000 chaotic soldiers, I am afraid it will not last long. ”

"Master Hou knew this was the case, why didn't he explain it thoroughly in the morning, so that the last general didn't think it through for a whole day."

"Do you think it's still ten years ago, the marshal has a low position, and everything is noisy for the sake of words.

Now the stability of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses is tied to Ben Shuai alone, Ben Shuai can not be careful, and this time it is all speculation, there is no evidence to relate, how can he talk at will. ”

The infighting in Zhaocheng was purely accidental, whether it was infighting in the mountains or in the city, there was no warning in advance, and there was very little direct connection between the two.

In the case that all conditions are still based on speculation, the vast majority of people who can't figure out the clues, even if Jiang Jie is smart and has no certain social experience, he doesn't know the sinister nature of human nature at all.

Although she still speculated, Bai Liyan still did not hesitate to gamble, betting on the degenerate and corrupt humanity of the slave army.

The killing sound continued, but instead of decreasing, the momentum became more and more expanded, and then Zhao Anling suggested:

"Master Hou, Zhaocheng is in chaos now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to divide the troops, why don't you take the opportunity to counterattack the supernatural power at this time and kill him by surprise."

"Mr. Zhao's proposal is very good. Jiang Jie, order all battalions, urgently pull out the camps, distribute dry food, and must leave before dawn! ”

"No!"

Zhaocheng fell into internal strife, the Xian army advanced eastward at this time, and it was difficult for Zhaocheng to divide troops and horses to pursue, even if the internal contradictions were suppressed due to external threats, and the fight was fought all night, it was simply unable to spare the strength to chase the Xian army. Taking a step back, even if the troops are divided to chase, most of them will not exceed 30,000.

The Xian army quickly pulled out the camp, and soon after dawn withdrew from the existing camp area and marched eastward.

At this time, there was a sea of fire in the city, and Zhou Kong led his troops to quell the chaos, but he was attacked by the slave army and was killed, so he had to withdraw to the administrative center to protect himself. Soon after dawn, it was heard that the Xian army was marching eastward.

"Report ...... General Baofang, before dawn, the Xian army suddenly pulled out the camp and went east, and it had been withdrawn at this time! ”

The soldier panted and said in a hurry, Fang Ke was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zhou Kong:

"General Zhou, now, how is this situation good?"

"This group of scum, villains, is unforgivable even if they are cut by a thousand cuts. So far, the Xian army must have taken the opportunity to cause chaos in our city and went to attack. Immediately send the fastest horse to report to the Heavenly King, and be sure to send a few more roads, so as not to be intercepted by the Xian army. ”

"What should we do in the city, we have suffered more than 2,000 casualties in one night, looking at this posture, the high-flying men and horses can no longer be controlled, and the suppression has little effect, and we are not their opponents." Fang Ke worried.

"Immediately transfer all the soldiers and horses in the mountains back to the city to guard the three gates and the governing place, and the city must not be lost."

From Zhaocheng to Lintai, there is only one road on the east gate, and then you can only go through the north gate to the north or to the south, the south is the deep mountain old forest, the north is a large area of forest, the south line takes four days, the north line takes three days, and only the east line can be reached within two days. Bailiyan had already dispersed the pioneer battalion and the attached horse team and intercepted them on the main road.

At this time, the Shentong camp was located twenty miles west of Lintai, less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Bailiyan, and the infantry army could not reach the Shentong camp in two days.

In the early morning of the day after the Xian army pulled out of the camp, the supernatural detectives found out about the enemy situation and quickly returned to the camp to report the news.

This is also due to the large number of monocular-type telescopic telescopes produced and exported by Xianguo over the past 12 years, and as many as 5 or 600 telescopes have been captured by the Black Turban Army and obtained through gray channels.

In addition to the distribution of telescopes to middle and high-level military attachés, the Black Turban Army also issued sporadic binoculars to the elite scout battalions and meticulous work to detect and monitor important targets.

Hearing the news of the enemy situation in the west, the supernatural power was shocked:

"Say it again!"

"Tens of thousands of Xian troops are coming towards our army, which is less than 60 miles away from the camp, and it will arrive at dusk today at the earliest."

"How is this possible, Ma Zheng has arrived in Zhaocheng, and the Xian army has walked ninety miles, how can Ma Zheng not notice it." In a big mess in his heart, Shentong hurriedly said to Shen Duchi: "General Shen, speed your cavalry to go, if you see the Xian army, stop it immediately, and report to me quickly." ”

"No!"

Explained clearly to Shen Duchi, and said to Song He:

"General Song He, order the whole army to pull out the camp and prepare for the withdrawal of troops."

"Yes."

Shentong made two preparations, one was that Ma Zheng failed to send troops on time and was taken advantage of by Bailiyan.

Second, Ma Zheng marched through the mountains and was detected by Baili Yan, who walked parallel to the main road, grabbed one to two days in front of Ma Zheng, and attacked him before Ma Zheng and Lin Taixian's army.

If it is the latter, Zhou Kong should divide 20,000 troops to follow Baili Yan on the main road to attack and disturb, and it is impossible for Baili Yan to smoothly bring tens of thousands of people to sixty miles away, and the divine power judges that Ma Zheng has a problem.

Not long after Shen Duchi led the cavalry out of the camp, he was discovered by Lin Tai, and the news was quickly reported to Ye Xin and Guan Longxiang of the Zhizhi Office:

"Qi Yu Ye Dadudu, the enemy cavalry suddenly dispatched to the west, and the rebel battalion is preparing for battle."

"What speed?" Ye Xin asked.

"Rush to the ground."

Guan Longxiang stood up and asked the soldier:

"Is there any sign of the enemy camp pulling out?"

"There are signs of pulling out the camp, and the battalion behind the enemy has moved to the northern camp."

Guan Longxiang thought to the left slightly, and said to Ye Xin:

"Magical powers, this is going to run."

"Run? Their reinforcements have arrived, why are they running? Ye Xin was puzzled.

"It is true that his reinforcements have arrived, but Shen Duchi's cavalry rushed to the west so quickly, there must be a very urgent military situation. Right now, the supernatural power is blocking my way to the west, and the news on the deputy marshal's side is extremely unsmooth. If the deputy marshal led his troops eastward at this time, and arrived near Lintai before the rebels, it was not impossible for him to attack the supernatural power before and after. ”

"But if the rebels are chasing and killing from behind, Zhaocheng has 70,000 or 80,000 horses at this time, how can the deputy marshal counterattack in a big way."

"What General Ye said is reasonable, the rebels should be pursued behind, and the deputy marshal must be in close pursuit when he withdraws his troops at this time. Unless the rebels secretly made a detour through the mountains south of Zhaocheng and inserted themselves behind the deputy marshal, they were discovered by the deputy marshal, and after the main force of the rebels entered the mountain, they suddenly retreated, one or two days before the rebel reinforcements left the mountain. ”

"But this doesn't make sense, no matter how stupid the rebels are, they won't have 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses entering the mountains, and there must be 20,000 or 30,000 people facing the deputy marshal head-on. Even if the deputy marshal noticed something strange in the mountains and wanted to withdraw his troops, he would definitely be disturbed by the rebels. Seeing that Shen Duchi is attacking with all his might, the deputy marshal's counterattack must be 50,000 people coming quickly, otherwise Shen Duchi will never be so excited. ”

Ye Xin analyzed the Tao at the head, and stopped Guan Longxiang for a while.

"Why don't you order Xu Jin and Xiao Qu to lead their troops forward and test them with artillery?"

"Well, immediately order Xu Jin and Xiao Qu to go out and bombard the rebel camp."

Ye Xin and Guan Longxiang still don't know the tunnels in the mountains, so they can't tell if the magic power is withdrawn, or if they have other plans.

At this time, Shen Duchi quickly pulled the cavalry and Baili Yan in the opposite direction, and the distance was quickly stretched to more than ten miles, and the cavalry rushed to pull out the dusty sky, and there was no need for a telescope, and the naked eye could see it clearly from a distance of more than ten miles.

"General Gu Zhong, order the army to form a formation to defend against the enemy."

"No!"

After about a quarter of an hour, the distance between the two armies was shortened to seven or eight miles, and Shen Duchi could see with the naked eye that the Xian army was coming to open the formation, laying down the crane wing formation with a very weak defense behind him, obviously not planning to defend backwards, but waiting for him to plunge into the formation.

Seeing this situation, Shen Duchi stopped the war horse and shouted to stop the army, released hundreds of scouts, and searched around. And send someone to report to the supernatural powers. After holding each other for about two moments, the released scouts came one after another:

"General Shen, I didn't see our soldiers and horses behind the enemy."

"Got it, probe again!"

"No!"

The scout rode away, and a team of about ten people came quickly a few miles away in front of the formation, led by Jiang Jie. Soon after, Jiang Jie rode a horse to two hundred steps in front of Shen Duchi's army, and sent a horse to shout:

"General Shen Duchi is here!"

When Shen Duchi heard the news, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, he was bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

"Order the battalions to attack left and right, bypass the sides of the crane wing, and attack its back."

"No!"

Shen Duchi no longer paid attention to the shouts of the Xian army, quickly adjusted the deployment, divided the soldiers and horses into two, and placed them left and right. Seeing this situation, Jiang Jie called back the men and horses, and turned the war horses back to the main formation.

The crane wing formation has both offense and defense, the left and right wings are open, the movement is free and conducive to outflanking, and at the same time, it can also arrange heavy troops in the middle, which is suitable for defense and breakthrough, but it has extremely high requirements for the tactical command ability of the main general, emphasizing the coordination of movements, so few people use this formation.

Of course, all formations are not omnipotent golden bell jars, and formations have their inevitable cover doors.

The crane wing formation is the same as the goose-shaped formation and the front loss formation, the back is very weak, and the cavalry can use the mobility to break through behind the two wings, and the two wings can be easily penetrated.

But if it changes, it works, and if it doesn't change, it doesn't. Although the traditional formation has its cover door, the key is still in the technological progress.

Bai Liyan knew very well that the supernatural power could only be blocked by cavalry, since it was cavalry, there was a world of difference between horses and people.

After all, horses are animals, and the fear of nature cannot distinguish between interests and disadvantages like people, and it is the nature of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not long-term training to overcome the fear of animal nature.

When Shen Duchi mobilized the cavalry to kill from the left and right, the Xian army set fire on both sides of the crane wing array, and the soldiers threw Molotov cocktails out ten, twenty and thirty steps, quickly established three fire nets, and continued to throw fire bottles to expand the fire, until Shen Duchi's cavalry outflanked and broke through a fire net, and then the arrows flew like rain, and the rebel war horses were greatly stimulated and fled indiscriminately.

"General Shen, the Xian army set fire, and the horses were frightened and couldn't rush over." Shen Duchi said hurriedly.

"Damn Bailiyan, stop attacking and call people back."

"No!"

When he was young, Shen Duchi's cavalry withdrew, and Bailiyan sent Jiang Jie forward again, but this time he added three hundred more guards to ensure safety.

"General Shen, the Xianjun is here again."

The escort pointed to the front of the formation, and Shen Duchi followed the trail, feeling miserable. He thought to himself, what is Bailiyan going to do in Mingtang.

"Order the battalions to rest immediately and not to let their guard down."

"No!"

Shen Duchi became more and more worried about the evil of Yan for hundreds of miles, just now he ran back and forth for fifteen miles, plus he ran more than fifty miles before, and he rushed for more than seventy miles in more than an hour. The rush just now consumed a lot of horse physical strength, and at this time, the Xian army rushed over, and would drive him back to the camp in embarrassment like driving a pig.
