Chapter Ninety-Four: The Circle
Zhang Xiang had to admit that things had become tricky because of Shi Hu's appearance, but Zhang Xiang was not panicked at this time, he had long known that the group of thieves was surrounded by how could he not be prepared at all?
It's just because of Shi Hu that there are loopholes in his preparations, and people are really not as good as heaven! Zhang Xiang also wanted to deal with the thieves around him at once, but Zhang Xiang didn't want to do it.
It's not that he doesn't dare, but he feels that it's not worth it, Xiangfei's army has six thousand soldiers, of which two thousand are remnants, although after a period of cultivation, they have recovered some combat strength, but Zhang Xiang doesn't want to waste a soldier on the thief.
If in Zhang Xiang's eyes, the soldiers are porcelain, then the group of thieves is the clay pot, the clay pot is placed there, Zhang Xiang can turn a blind eye, and once there is a crack in the porcelain, Zhang Xiang will be distressed.
So Zhang Xiang chose to respond to all changes with the same, as long as the thief didn't do it, he didn't see it, Zhang Xiang also hoped that this ignition point would not appear, as long as Xiang Feijun left Jizhou and returned to Youzhou, all problems would be solved.
But Zhang Xiang didn't expect to meet Shi Hu, a person who was carried away by hatred, so that his forbearance was in vain, and Xiang Feijun fought with a group of thieves, purposefully concentrating on Zhang Xiang's side.
Since this war is inevitable after all, let's fight! During this time, Xiangfei Army was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, as if he had done nothing, but he had been stepping up his training internally, in order to resist accidents.
Zhang Xiang is not a person who is afraid of things, otherwise he would not have formed a righteous army to crusade against the Yellow Turban, just when the soldiers of the Xiangfei Army concentrated on Zhang Xiang, a lot of carriages ran out of the interior of the Xiangfei Army, in order to ensure the impact of these carriages, the carts were pulled by Zhang Xiang's baby pimple war horses.
A lot of money fell out of the carriage, and the thieves were chaotic in order to compete for the money, and even swords faced each other, these money were all captured by Zhang Xiang from the Yellow Turban Army before, of course, Zhang Xiang did not use it at all for the burial in the tomb.
If the group of thieves sees these burials, it will be difficult for Xiang Feijun to do the following things, because the chaos of the group of thieves has also caused the chaos of the Yellow Turban Thieves, after all, the Yellow Turban Thieves who have lost their horns are essentially no different from the group of thieves.
Although Shi Hu had some cronies, he was also bound by the chaos of the battlefield, and the Xiangfei Army also took advantage of this time to form a simple circle formation with grain and grass carts, one of the "ten arrays" in ancient times, which was mainly used for the defense of chariot soldiers.
But these grain and grass carts in the Xiangfei army, pulling the grain and grass treasures are okay, but the defense is not as good as the ancient bronze chariots, in order to ensure the solidity of the round array, the soldiers connected all the chariots with hemp rope.
Shi Hu was glad that the thieves attacked the Xiangfei Army, but when Zhang Xiang saw Shi Hu, why wasn't it like this? All of Zhang Xiang's plans are designed for the group of thieves, which is to use their strangeness to create friction.
If the opponent is replaced by Shi Hu, with Shi Hu's commanding ability, he will definitely control his subordinates, and there will be no chaos like the current one at the very least, it is because of the addition of the group of thieves that the current scene will happen.
Zhang Xiang would rather face a chaotic tiger than a group of hungry wolves, Shi Hu is a tiger, but because of the addition of the group of thieves, he became chaotic, so Zhang Xiang had an opportunity.
The circle formation of the Xiangfei army has been formed, and behind the grain and grass cart is a group of soldiers with spears and spears, one inch long and one inch stronger, they can use the cover of the grain and grass cart to resist the counterattack, and their own safety is much greater.
The archers in the army are also constantly throwing to create chaos and kill the enemy, at this time the Xiangfei army is like a hedgehog, whoever touches it will bleed, and the thieves did not use all their energy to deal with the Xiangfei army, but were all concerned about fighting for property.
Zhang Xiang was in the center of the circle, and he felt distressed when he saw his treasure in the pocket of the thief, and he really wanted to rush out and shout that those were mine, of course, Zhang Xiang was just thinking about it, he was not stupid enough to do that.
The more chaotic the battlefield, the more impatient Shi Hu becomes, impatient people often do wrong things, and Shi Hu is no exception, he even ordered his cronies to attack the thieves around him, that is, to kill Zhang Xiang himself.
His approach will not only not calm down this chaos, but will only make the battlefield more chaotic, of course, everything is good and bad, Shi Hu's impatience also has a good side, and he still gathered a group of men in the process of attacking.
Shi Hu relied on these subordinates to attack Zhang Xiang's round formation, people like to gather in chaos and like to blindly follow, Shi Hu's people are like an arrow, and those who blindly follow become arrows.
Shot at Zhang Xiang, but like this kind of indiscriminate arrow, how many layers of power can it have? Zhang Xiang's circle array opened a mouth for the cavalry to rush and kill, and Zhang Feilong ran like a stone tiger.
Originally, Zhang Xiang's plan was that when the thieves were in chaos, the army would fight from both sides of the circle and fight out, and the battle would be successful, although Zhang Xiang would lose a lot of money by doing so, but he would be captured in more important resources.
Bingzhou is sparsely populated is the Han Dynasty except for Jiaozhou Han people the fewest place, the most important is human resources, if the thieves do not do it, Zhang Xiang will use the money and the Zhen family in exchange for grain and grass, from the hands of foreign people in exchange for prisoners of war.
However, because of the appearance of Shi Hu, the number of thieves immediately doubled, and Zhang Xiang had to send his precious cavalry to kill Shi Hu among the thieves at the risk of death and injury, and capture the thief first to capture the king.
In order to ensure Shi Hu's death, Zhang Xiang also asked Lu Pi to take off his armor and change into the clothes of a thief and blend into the battlefield, Zhang Xiang doesn't know where Lu Pi is now, but Zhang Xiang believes in Lu Pi's ability.
He must be staring at Shi Hu somewhere, how could Shi Hu resist the cavalry arrows composed of Zhang Feilongben with the chaotic arrows composed of killing, even if it was just a few hundred cavalry.
It is because there are fewer cavalry in the Xiangfei Army, Zhang Xiang is even more precious, and puts the best things on the cavalry, if it weren't for the cavalry commander Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiang's eldest brother would have complained a long time ago.
The cavalry soldiers are all wearing armor, this is the treatment of a hundred generals, you can imagine how much blood Zhang Xiang has invested in the cavalry, the cavalry has never disappointed Zhang Xiang, and this battle will still not be.
The cavalry ran over all the way, and the blood of the bones and thieves everywhere stained a straight avenue, and at the end of this avenue was Shi Hu, who watched the thieves fall one after another.
The anger in his heart was also overwhelmed by the terror, and Shi Hu kept ordering his subordinates to rush towards the cavalry, causing the cavalry to lose its impact, but it was because of Shi Hu's fear that he lost the last chance to kill Zhang Xiang.
If Shi Hu resisted desperately, there might still be a glimmer of possibility, but even this glimmer of possibility was also cut off by his own hands, and Shi Hu's subordinates and blindly obedient thieves were not fools.
Or as long as there are ordinary people in this world, there is no fool, they all have a measuring stick in their hearts, but the scale in everyone's hearts is different, and it is clear that Shi Hu will send them to death.
The scales in their hearts are different, and they will also know how to weigh gains and losses, so Shi Hu's approach not only did not make Zhang Xiang's cavalry lose its impact, but the morale of his own side was lost first.
Morale is inherently illusory, but it has always pursued a law, which has never changed since ancient times, that is, one blow and then three times and exhaustion, Shi Hu's sneak attack was the most demoralized time for his subordinates, and the morale of the chaos declined, and Shi Hu's final performance finally wore out this morale.
Zhang Feilongben has already killed Shi Hu's eyes, Shi Hu is also a ruthless man, although he has been timid, but he still launched an attack on Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's red eyes are already about to fall into madness.
But he still remembered Zhang Xiang's words, Shi Hu was his only target, Zhang Fei shouted: "Long Ben, don't rob me this time, my old man is watching me from behind?" When this is done, I will invite you to a drink. ”
Long Ben didn't answer, but he made a statement in his actions, volunteering to block the thieves on both sides for Zhang Fei, so that Zhang Fei could give it a go, Zhang Fei said such a thing at this time, only he was so big-hearted.
However, there is a sentence in Zhang Fei's words that is true, Zhang Hao did look at Zhang Fei from behind, looking at the bastard boy in his mind, and suddenly felt both relieved and strange, Zhang Hao not only felt this way for Zhang Fei, but also felt this way for Zhang Xiang.
Even the feeling of Zhang Xiang is even stronger, Zhang Fei's brave killing and bloody are very strange to him, but these are not comparable to the indifference in Zhang Xiang's eyes, Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Xiang from the side, and his eyes were so cold.
He remembered that Zhang Xiang was beside him when he was a child, remembered that Zhang Xiang was reluctant to leave Zhuoxian, remembered Zhang Xiang's smiling face on his wedding day, and Zhang Hao remembered all the things about Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Hao would never have thought that Zhang Xiang had only been away from him for more than a year, and he had grown up to what he was now, commanding the army and commanding Ruo Ding, who played with human life in the palm of his hand.
can let his eldest brother go to the danger in person, he can fight for it, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that Zhang Xiang's change was terrible, Zhang Hao also knew that it was natural to do this in troubled times, if other people's children, maybe Zhang Hao would boast in front of his own children.
But when it happened to his son, Zhang Hao felt a little uncomfortable, maybe all parents in the world are like this, while looking forward to their son becoming a dragon, they are afraid that their child will become a dragon and fly away.
Zhang Hao didn't know what happened to Zhang Xiang's body that would change like this, he suddenly felt that he was very incompetent, he couldn't shield his children from the wind and rain, let him go to the battlefield and take such a risk and suffer such hardships, which became a look that made him both relieved and strange.
Zhang Fei's strangeness is more of an accident in Zhang Hao's eyes, Zhang Hao knows that Zhang Fei's temperament is a matter of time before he goes to the battlefield, he is surprised that this day came so soon, Zhang Xiang's strangeness is really strange, he doesn't believe his eyes, this male on the battlefield is the young son he has always loved, just when Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Xiang, the battlefield also changed.
