Chapter 40: Mr. Oriental II

Under the leadership of Yi Haojie, the battle guards rushed up against the bandits, and just when the soldiers were about to clash with the bandit cavalry, the soldiers suddenly separated to the left and right, and when the soldiers separated, more than 30 chariots rushed behind the team.

Each chariot was pulled by eight war horses, and on the chariot stood a dozen strong men in heavy armor, all of whom were masters of the seventh layer of external strength, each of whom was infinitely powerful, and they wielded huge maces in their hands and went straight to the bandit cavalry.

The chariots opened the way, the bows and arrows led the way, and while the chariots and cavalry were engaged head-on, more than a thousand archers crouched down, and under the protection of the shieldmen, they took out their arrows, drew them, wound them, shot them, and threw them one after the other into the sky, until the quivers were gone.

"Woo Woo ......"

"Whoosh ......"

The officers and soldiers sent archers, and the bandits were not to be outdone, and after a short period of panic, they also sent archers, full three archers of a thousand people, under the barrier formed by huge shields, bent their bows and shot arrows at the officers and soldiers, and for a while, arrows flew wildly in the sky.

Seeing that the archers on his side couldn't fight the bandits, Yi Haojie led the infantry to avoid the bandits' cavalry, and then went straight to the archer camp, wanting to clear the bandits' tool soldiers on both wings, but as soon as they were about to get closer, thousands of huge shields were instantly erected on the ground.

Those giant shields were all iron shields more than one meter wide and more than two meters high, with a thickness of six or seven centimeters alone, and thousands of giant shields smashed on the ground at the same time, shaking the ground, and at the same time, countless spears pierced out of the gaps in the shields, protecting the soldiers like hedgehogs.

"Hammer Soldier, up! Smash those rotten shields for me. ”

With Yi Haojie's order, hundreds of soldiers with powerful bodies and two-meter giant hammers rushed out, they ignored the spears on the opposite side, swung the giant hammer a few times, and then threw it at the giant shield on the opposite side at the same time.

Each hammer weighed hundreds of pounds, and hundreds of hammers were thrown in one direction at the same time and instantly smashed on the shield on the opposite side, and the giant hammer passed like a wind and clouds, smashing all the spears in front of him, and then smashing them on the bandits' shields.

Although the hammer could not break the shield, the bandits with the shield could not stop the shock wave of the giant hammer, and the soldiers with the shield were hit and fell to the ground.

Following those gaps, Yi Haojie led the team to rush in and killed those bandits by surprise, until the other party came to his senses and sent bandits who were good at melee combat to support, Yi Haojie led the team to retreat.

At this time, the battlefield was still killing, the sound of killing shook the sky, there were countless casualties, the ground was covered with corpses, blood stained the red soil, a corpse with a broken arm, a war horse with a corpse, a piece of broken blades, a piece of bloody red mud, as far as the eye could see, it was all Shura Purgatory.

In this confrontation, the Battle Guards sacrificed nearly 4,000 people, Yi Haojie was also wounded, nearly half of the 8,000 people were killed in the battle, and the remaining soldiers were also wounded.

However, compared to the losses of the battle guards, the number of casualties in Juyitang was greater, and there were only more than 300 left of the 2,000 cavalry, and the losses of giant shield soldiers, archers, melee soldiers, and infantry were added together, and Juyitang was exterminated by nearly 7,000 people.

Although the battle of destroying the enemy was nearly doubled, the battle guard was exhausted at this time, and at this moment, a horn sounded from the mountain, and the second echelon of the bandits had rushed down the mountain.

Seeing that the other party's reinforcements were coming, Yi Haojie hurriedly led the remaining battle guards to retreat in the direction of the Shajiamen forest, just as Yue Qifeng gathered the vanguard troops and reinforcements, and wanted to lead people to chase and kill Yi Haojie, suddenly, Mr. Dongfang ran over.

"Mr. Dongfang, this is a battlefield, it's very dangerous, why did you come here?" Yue Qifeng hurriedly sent someone to protect Mr. Dongfang.

"I told the hall master before that you should rely on our advantage of outnumbering each other to fight, but I didn't expect the hall master to divide the troops into three echelons, and I didn't expect the hall master to lead the vanguard to meet the enemy without waiting for all the teams to be gathered."

Speaking of this, Mr. Dongfang was a little unhappy: "If you are so reckless and impulsive as the hall master, even if you give you 100,000 people, you will be exterminated sooner or later.

Fortunately, I came with me, otherwise the hall master's subordinates would have to be surrounded and annihilated, the hall master must not be reckless, our advantage is that there are many people, so you must wait for the third echelon of people to arrive at the convergence, and then lead the troops to fight with them.

Just now, we suffered a loss in the dispersion of troops, but although we have suffered a loss, it has not yet affected the overall foundation, as long as it is properly arranged, it can completely force the imperial court to give up encirclement and suppression, and coexist with us. ”

"Surrounded and annihilated?" Yue Qifeng wiped the blood stained on his face, pointed at Yi Haojie, who fled in embarrassment, and said with an unhappy face: "The battle guards of the imperial court have been defeated by me, they are running around at the moment, what can they do to annihilate me?" ”

"I have carefully observed, there are two routes for the battle guards to evacuate here, one is the direction of Tongjiaoling on the north side, there are many hills in that place, and the road is steep and sloped, which is very suitable for evading pursuit. The other is in the direction of Shajiamen.

Shajiamen there is a gentle terrain, except for a forest, there is no shelter, if you escape along that road, it is easy to be caught up, it stands to reason that the other party should definitely choose Tongjiaoling to escape, but they chose Shajiamen.

I looked at the terrain, although the terrain of Tongjiaoling is dangerous, suitable for escape, but the vegetation is sparse, there is no shelter, and the forest area of Shajiamen is very large, and the trees are tall and dense, if there are people in ambush inside, then we will be in trouble. ”

"Shajiamen? Ambush? Being reminded by Mr. Dongfang like this, Yue Qifeng also calmed down: "Shouldn't it?" It's all like this here just now, and there's no movement over there? Looking at it this way, there should be no ambush, right? ”

"Who knows?" After asking a rhetorical question, Mr. Dongfang looked back and saw that the third echelon was about to go down the mountain to converge, he looked in the direction of Shajiamen, and said softly: "I can't see the clue at the moment, because the other party's commander and battle general is too calm."

It stands to reason that in a war of that scale just now, as long as the other side sends reinforcements, it can fully cooperate with the encirclement officers and soldiers under the mountain, and hit us head-on, at least in that case, the casualties on our side will be greater, but the other side just didn't do it.

But if the other party does not ambush the soldiers hidden in the shadows, then there is no point in leading the snake out of the hole before, the general of the battle guard this time is a master, we must not love the enemy, so gather all the main forces, and maximize our advantages, this is the king. ”

Although Yue Qifeng was reckless, he listened to Mr. Dongfang's words, and after listening to Mr. Dongfang's words, he did not rashly lead the army to pursue Yi Haojie, but waited for all the remaining men to gather before leading the army to pursue.

Since the bandits from Juyitang did not catch up, Yi Haojie's expression was a little regretful when he passed through the woods of Shajiamen, because he was worried that he would be seen as flawed, so he had to continue to escape, and after a while, they fled to the front of the temporary camp.

"What to do? The other side did not pursue us, the previous plan was nullified, and now they are gathering a large army, if we wait until all the horses of the Juyi Hall are assembled, we will not be able to match them. After finding Ling Xia, Yi Haojie's face was full of anxiety and impatience.

"Among those bandit leaders, there is a master of soldiers, he must have seen through our plan, so he put on this formation." Ling Xia looked at the black crowd at the foot of the White Tiger Mountain, frowned and said in a deep voice:

"We must not let them fight, when they gather all the men, they will rely on the advantage of numbers to fight us, at that time, in the face of absolute strength, any plan is useless, we have to find a way to scare them back, so that they dare not fight with us in numbers."

After thinking for a while, Ling Xia asked Yi Haojie to go to the division commander and ask the entire division to cooperate with this war, the previous plan has expired, in view of the actions of the bandits in Juyitang, we have reformulated a battle plan, codenamed ------- Bluff.

Yue Qifeng led the army to the woods of Shajiamen, suddenly, a black smoke ignited in the direction of the camp of the battle guards, when the smoke appeared, a rain of arrows was shot in the woods, and then a group of soldiers rushed out, at least more than 10,000 people.

"Mr. Dongfang is really a god!" Seeing the ambush soldiers rushing out of the woods, Yue Qifeng was startled, if it wasn't for Mr. Dongfang who stopped him from pursuing before, he would definitely be ambushed, and secretly grateful, Yue Qifeng led his subordinate bandits to fight the officers and soldiers.

Because they had taken precautions in advance, the bandits did not panic, and after the officers and soldiers who were ambushed in the woods fought with the bandits of Juyitang, suddenly, there was a sound of horns from the side of the army camp, and when the horns stopped, the earth trembled slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded slowly from the heavens and the earth.

Just when Yue Qifeng didn't know what was going on, suddenly, there was a drum sound at the foot of the mountain, and when he heard the drum, Yue Qifeng and the rest of the bandits all turned around suddenly, looking at the direction of the mountain in a daze, with a trace of puzzlement in their eyes.

"Hall Master, the ancestors of the East have sounded the drum of collecting troops, what should we do? Is it to continue the fighting? Or do you hear the drums and withdraw the troops? Several leaders walked up to Yue Qifeng and asked him for instructions on his next move.

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, although he was taken advantage of by the archers of the Battle Guards at first, but now that Juyitang has stabilized his foothold, at this time their side is fighting against those Battle Guard soldiers with an overwhelming advantage.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Mr. Dongfang actually made people beat the drum of collecting troops, hesitated, his eyes struggled a little, and finally Yue Qifeng shouted unwillingly: "Turn around and collect the troops, withdraw!" ”
