Chapter 69: The Tiger and Par Heroes

Under the spring breeze, the earth began to thaw, and the snow that had been left for a winter turned into a trace of water seeping into the ground, making the black soil look a little muddy.

But in this beautiful season, near the banks of the Heishui River, it is common to find dead bodies on the ground, the smell of mud mixed with the stench of decay, warning everyone who approaches here.

Wei Zeng's army had arrived, and on the first day of his arrival, he cooperated with Sagargya's forces in an attempt to regain the lost territory. After several battles, Yaodong's army was forced to gather together to deal with Wei Zeng's challenge. The locks of the Luofeng Society were also forced to retreat, because there was no numerical advantage, and it was difficult for the lone army to escape, no matter how careful they were.

Today's Wei Zeng leads more than 80,000 elite people in Yanbei, plus Guanbei soldiers, with a total strength of more than 100,000. In the face of the fact that the Yaodong army already has an absolute advantage in numbers, it is just around the corner to be able to defeat the main force of the Yaodong army, completely recover the lost territory in Guanbei, and even attack Yaodong.

"It's been a hard time these days, and now that our main forces are gathered here, we will be able to fight the enemy in a decisive battle in a few days. Originally, we had no idea of being enemies with the Ding brothers, and we also sent envoys to express our goodwill. But I didn't want them to be treacherous, and not only killed the messenger I sent, but also took advantage of our unpreparedness to capture Guanbei. With such wolf ambitions, they must be eliminated. Prepare well, and the next battle in Japan will be the time to decide the winner. Wei Zeng said after the discussion.

"Wei Zeng is really hateful, and now he has gathered all the elites of Yanbei here, and wants to annex Yaodong, which is obvious. But our Yaodong people are not easy to bully, a few years ago we could unite together and defeat Lu Boding's army, and this time we can definitely say that Wei Zeng was defeated. In order to protect the land of Yaodong, you must fight to the death. Ding Zhuqing also gathered everyone together. Carry out mobilization in front of the station.

Zheng Duxing, Wu Qingfan, and Sun Hengkong glanced at each other, and then said that they would fight with all their might.

"Zheng Duxing, what should I do now? Wei Zeng's army has arrived. If we fail, the war will enter Yaodong. "After the discussion. Sun Hengkong found Zheng Duxing and said. The territory of the Luofeng Society is in the northernmost part of Yaodong, once Wei Zeng attacks Yaodong, the Luofeng Society will bear the brunt, how can he not be in a hurry.

"I originally planned to take advantage of the fact that Guanbei was not yet stable and dealt a fatal blow to Wei Zeng, but I didn't want Sagali to take a defensive position and make it difficult for us to move an inch. Now that Wei Zeng's army has arrived, we can only bite the bullet. But don't worry, Wei Zeng fought for a year to capture Guanbei. Now that the army has rushed back without being cultivated, its combat effectiveness will definitely be affected. Facing off against him, is it possible to win or lose? Zheng Duxing replied.

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You've always wanted to be the first person in Yaodong. If Wei Zeng invades Yaodong, our territory will become a battlefield. Even if we drive Wei Zeng out in the future, we will be like the Red Cloud Society. Then you can do whatever you want. Sun Heng said in a hurry.

"Sun Yong, you have to be calm, you must know that it was you who united with us to provoke the dispute with Wei Zeng in the first place. Now you're putting all the blame on me, don't you think it's too much? If you can't defeat Wei Zeng, no one will have a good time; Defeated Wei Zeng. can't hide it from the Ding brothers, everyone is still having a hard time. Since there is no way back. Don't think too much about it, just fight well. Zheng Duxing said nonchalantly.

"I knew this was the case, and I would have provoked a dispute in the first place. Maybe Wei Zeng really wouldn't send troops to Yaodong because of the Ding brothers. Wu Qingfan, what are you laughing at? There is a problem with our Luofeng Society, and you Qinggang don't want to be alone. Sun Hengkong saw Wu Qingfan laughing on the side. He said angrily.

"I didn't want to be alone. Am I not fighting with you? However, it is also a very interesting thing to see Sun Warrior, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, become like this. What do we want to argue with you, what Wei Zeng owes me, I will personally ask him for it. I have to prepare for tomorrow's battle. I won't accompany you. Wu Qingfan finished speaking and left.

"Sun Yongsman, even he has this realization, so don't think about it. The top priority is to defeat Wei Zeng, and it's useless to think too much about anything else. Zheng Duxing also left after speaking.

"Two bastards, just waiting to see my jokes. I'm going to see who has the last laugh. Sun Hengkong said indignantly, and then left with reluctance.

The next day, the northern army of Yanbei and the army of Yaodong confronted each other on the plains of Guanbei, and Wei Zeng mobilized all the elites for this battle; In order to deal with Wei Zeng, Ding Zhuqing also gathered all the people that Yao Dongneng sent to the battlefield in one place.

Both sides were outraged by the betrayal of the other, and to this day, the initiators of this war could not laugh out loud.

The northern army of Yanbei was divided into three routes, led by Wei Zeng, Sa Jiali and Yu Chaogui, and the Guanbei soldiers were arranged in front of the three armies, and the battle was monitored by the supervising officers. The men of the Windrush Regiment were also mobilized and pressed behind the Guanbei Surrender Formation, responsible for killing any soldiers who dared to retreat and escape.

The Yaodong army is divided into five parts, the Chinese army is the tiger and leopard army under the direct jurisdiction of Dejiawei, and the military uniform and banner are red; The former army was a barbarian barracks plus local defenders gathered from all over the country, and the uniforms and flags were gray; The left army is the social soldier of the Luofeng Society, and the military uniform flag is black; The right army is the gang of the Green Gang, and the military uniform and banner are cyan; The rear army is the gate of the Tang Gate, and the military uniform flag is yellow. Among them, there are 30,000 Haw Par troops, and 20,000 and 30,000 other armies, with a total strength of 120,000.

The Yaodong army is divided into five armies, and the army is colorful, also known as the five-color army.

Wei Zeng gave an order, the war drums sounded, and under the leadership of the supervising officer, tens of thousands of Guanbei soldiers advanced towards the front army of the Yaodong army. The Windwreath followed.

Wei Zeng gave another order, the order flag waved, the colorful flag was unfurled, and the crossbowmen came to the front of the three armies to cover the attack of the Guanbei soldiers.

Ding Zhuqing saw that Wei Zeng launched an offensive and ordered the front army to go forward to meet the battle, and the left and right armies advanced forward to meet the front army.

The soldiers in the front row of the Guanbei soldiers held large shields in their hands, blocking the advance of bows and arrows, and in the back row were the Ice Halberd Soldiers, and other melee troops, lying low, closely following behind the shield bearers.

The two sides exchanged bows and arrows several times, the two armies had already intersected, the barbarian battalion javelin volley, and the ice halberd soldiers rushed into the enemy formation. Open and close and wield your weapon to kill the enemy. A battle was fierce.

The soldiers of the Luofeng Society came to the left flank of the war group and tried to flank the Guanbei Surrender Pawn and force the Guanbei Surrender Pawn to retreat.

The Luofeng lock soldiers rushed to the front of the Guanbei surrender formation, and threw sharp hook locks against the Guanbei soldiers who were waiting for the Guanbei soldiers, and many soldiers were hooked. Pulled out of the formation.

When the Luofeng lock soldier threw out the hook lock, the spearmen in the back row launched a charge, assassinating the fallen Guanbei pawn and charging at the scattered Guanbei pawn flank.

The Green Gang on the right flank also pressed towards the flank of the Guanbei pawn, but instead of immediately attacking, they slowly approached, giving the Guanbei pawn invisible pressure, making them unable to hit the barbarian battalion in front.

Wei Zeng saw Guan Bei's pawn. Unable to withstand the pressure of the enemy's three armies, he had already begun to involuntarily hinder, so he ordered Yu Chaogui to lead the right army to support.

The crossbowmen made a gap under the command of Lingqi, and Yu Chaogui led the soldiers of the Guanshan battalion to press the enemy's large array.

Bows and crossbows were fired, swords and soldiers shouted and killed, the muddy black earth turned scarlet, and torn corpses were scattered across the plain.

Sagart's left army was also sent to the battlefield. The rear army of the Tang Sect also advanced to get to the battlefield before it was under the orders of Wei Zeng. The Guanbei soldiers, who had been fighting for a long time, were withdrawn and are now being reorganized in the rear of the military formation. Sa Jiali and Yu Chaogui left and right the second army of 60,000 people, and continued to fight against Yaodong's five-color army.

It's just that Wei Zeng's Chinese army and the Tiger and Leopard Army of Dejia Guard have not been dispatched, and both sides are looking for the most favorable opportunity. Punch the last punch to the enemy's vital point.

The Haw Par Army is the direct army of the Dejia Guard, and it is the guarantee of the Ding brothers' rule over Yaodong, so the Haw Par Army is formed by the most elite soldiers, and the weapons and equipment are also first-class.

Soldiers of the Haw Par Army wear tiger helmets. Leopard helmet, bright red coat, more tiger and leopard ornaments. Stand still, like a fierce man; The impact came, like a tiger descending from a mountain.

10,000 of the Tiger Army wore heavy armor and held long knives with strong shields; The 20,000 Leopard Army lined up on both sides, armed with spears and bows. The formation of 30,000 people is strictly organized, as if it has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

"It's a good army, it seems that it is impossible to defeat them without concentrating forces. I see that the Guan Bei pawns have retreated, and they are almost rested, so let them go to fight again. We have a numerical advantage, as long as we force the enemy to throw those 30,000 Chinese troops into the battlefield, and when the enemy is powerless, it will be our chance of victory. Wei Zeng saw that the battlefield was stalemate, and that the enemy's Chinese army was calm, so he ordered the retreating Guanbei soldiers to return to the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered to the north, although the will to fight was not strong, but under the numerical advantage, no one wanted to escape. The left and right armies of Sajiali and Yu Chaogui have been fighting with the Yaodong army for a long time, and now that the Guanbei soldiers have returned, the Yaodong army, which has not been able to rest, is beginning to be a little overwhelmed.

"Wei Zeng is not a mediocre talent, and he also has a set of fighting with soldiers. He is forcing us to throw the Chinese army into the battlefield, and then take the initiative and launch an offensive at will. However, my Haw Par army is no ordinary army, and he is naïve to think that he can defeat me in this way. Let the soldiers of the Haw Par Army attack, and let the enemy know how good we are. Ding Zhuqing ordered the Tiger and Par Army to attack.

A long whirling horn sounded from the Yaodong army, and the fighting Yaodong soldiers heard the order and retreated one after another, returning to their respective camps.

Another rapid and agitated horn sounded, and the tiger and leopard army advanced forward to meet the killing Yanbei army; The other armies in retreat also stopped retreating, and cooperated with the Haw Par Army to meet the Yanbei army.

The five-color army has undergone a change, forming a large array with the tiger and leopard army as the core and the four-way army as the corner. The five armies were not completely integrated with each other, and there was also a considerable distance in the middle, so the Yanbei army that was charging in front was divided and flanked, so that the offensive of the Yanbei army was blocked.

"It seems that the enemy's position has been trained for a long time, and the Fifth Army has the core of the Chinese Army, and the Fourth Army in the corner cooperates with the Chinese Army in combat, which can be attacked and defended, which is really difficult to deal with. I heard Miss Sa say that this is the Five Elements Array of the Yaodong people. Jiang Luqing, do you have any good way to break this big array? Wei Zeng originally wanted to wait for all the enemy's forces to be invested, and then look for a breakthrough to focus on attacking, but he didn't expect the enemy to set up a five-element array, which made Wei Zeng a little at a loss.

"The Five Elements Array of the Yaodong people, I've also heard of it. Now it seems that there is still a difference with the Five Elements of the Central Plains. The five elements of the Central Plains advocate mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, although there are differences in position, but the five elements are actually equal; The Five Elements Array of the Yaodong people is more like the stars and the moon, the army in the middle is all elite, facing our army head-on without flinching, and the four armies in the corners are completely cooperating with the Chinese army, and almost do not react to attacks from other directions. It seems that the enemy is intending to break through our troops from the center, and then divide and encircle. In my opinion, in order to break this five-element array, it is necessary to defeat the enemy's Chinese army. Jiang Luqing said.

"I also understand this truth, but how to defeat the Chinese army? The four armies in the corners are eyeing the enemy's central army, and they will be flanked and completely unable to start. Wei Zeng was embarrassed.

"Now that the Fourth Army has been fighting for a long time, it must be very tired now. As long as we find a way to block the command between the five armies and delay the movement of the one army in the corner, the enemy's central army will inevitably fall into the battle group if it lacks the response. When the time comes, the general will personally lead a large army to attack the enemy's Chinese army and defeat the enemy's Chinese army in one fell swoop, and he will inevitably win this war. Jiang Luqing said.

"How to block the command between the enemy's five armies, and how to delay the actions of the enemy's first army, you can talk about it in detail." Wei Zeng asked.

"The enemy's cooperation, relying entirely on horns and flags, sending crossbowmen to suppress the enemy's Chinese army, and then releasing smoke to block the enemy's line of sight, will definitely make the enemy unable to echo for the time being." Jiang Luqing replied.

"Where did the smoke come from, do you still have this kind of thing in the army?" Wei Zeng asked.

"Wolf smoke for communication, gunpowder for firecrackers, and a little processing can make smoke. The army has some of these things. Jiang Luqing replied.

"Very good, let someone arrange to go." Wei Zeng nodded.

In a short time, the crossbowmen gathered in one place and fired arrows at the enemy's center to suppress the enemy's attack. Some improvised smoke grenades were also thrown into the Five-Color Army, which relied on horns and flags to communicate messages, but now they were blocked by smoke screens, and their cooperation with each other was hindered.

Under Wei Zeng's orders, Sajiali and Yu Chaogui charged towards the military formations on the left and right sides of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which lacked the echo of the two wings and fell into the battle group in front.

When the Tiger and Leopard Army could not get out, Wei Zeng led 30,000 Chinese troops to rush over. Under the blow of superior forces, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which lacked cooperation, was defeated and retreated by Wei Zeng.

When the smoke screen cleared and the four armies in the corners came to their senses, the defeat of the Yaodong army was decided. (To be continued.) )
