And that's just the beginning.

The third row of soldiers who had finished firing their crossbow arrows immediately fell to one knee and allowed the fourth platoon to fire their crossbow arrows as well. It was only between two breaths that a second wave of crossbow bolts fell on the skirmishers again. The casualties caused by this wave of attacks were even greater, with five people killed and three injured!

For stragglers with only 50 people, the casualties of more than 10 people are close to 30% of the total number of soldiers. And the short time that these 30% casualties occurred did not make the spectators react.

After such a blow, the stragglers had not yet dispersed. However, as the Koji rebels once again embarked on the path of advancement, the stragglers who finally realized their casualties immediately lost the courage to continue fighting and collapsed!

"This ......"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zang Ba was completely speechless. The shock in his heart was definitely no less than that of the two scouts who had commented on the Lu Yijun before.

The rigor of the opponent's military formation, the skillful coordination, and the sophistication of the action are not at all something that one's own side can fight against. Even though he only had half of his own troops, Zang Ba still spontaneously felt that his side was unlucky in this battle.

At this moment, Zang Ba finally understood why Lu Yiming knew that his "10,000 enemies" were in the army, but he still dared to pursue his own 1,000-man army with only 500 people.

- However, I also have a backhand!

Zang Ba's back hand is just below the small hill. There's a small forest there. Zang Ba set the battlefield here, in addition to planning to take advantage of the terrain, he also had the idea of immediately turning into the forest to resist the pursuing army if the battle was unfavorable.

If it was in the forest, Zang Ba firmly believed that as long as he had 300 elite soldiers at hand, he would be able to defeat the 500 men of Lu Yi. Of course. The premise is that Koji must dare to enter the forest and fight against himself.

For this reason, Zang Ba sent his deputy general Chu Feiyan in advance and took a hundred elite soldiers into the small forest to set up an ambush. Even if the koji is not fooled, as long as it can make the enemy dare not pursue at will. It achieved Zang Ba's intention.

Forcing back the stragglers of the Taixing Army, the Lu Yi Army advanced until it was only one hundred and eighty steps away from Zang Babu, and then stopped to do the final pre-battle rest. And in this precious space, the commanders of both sides can also take the opportunity to say a few words to express their disdain and contempt for the place.

"Zang Ba thief! Dare to come to Jizhou to spread wild, are you tired of being alive? ”

"Our army has its own military orders. He came to Jizhou to pursue the fugitive thieves in the mountains. Waiting for Liangzhouzi, you dare to openly attack the Han border army, is it to rebel? ”

Lu Yi's words are very arrogant and rude. But Zang Ba's answer made Lu Yi feel like he had swallowed a fly.

- These thieves are actually embarrassed to call themselves Han soldiers?

- No, their clothes......

Koji immediately realized a problem that had been overlooked. It's not a big deal. Say it's not small. That is:

- It seems that these thieves seem to have been recruited into the Han army?

- When the bandits attack the camp. Under the banner of the Yellow Turban. However, now it has become the banner of the Han army. When our army attacks them, will it not become an attack on friendly forces?

This kind of problem, Zang Ba, who was born in the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, can not care about it. He only needs to do a good job of superficial work and not fall into the handle. Just fool around with the state and county governments. As long as the arrogance does not openly rebel, even the Son of Heaven can't do anything to Zang Ba. Otherwise, Zhang Qiang could threaten Bingzhou, Sili, Jizhou and Youzhou at the same time, making the imperial court become anxious in an instant.

And when Zang Ba attacked the Jizhou Prefecture Division Battalion before, he did a pretty good job of surface work. So much so that Lu Yi knew that it was Zang Ba who led people to attack him. There is no way to confirm this.

However, being born can be described as a righteous and well-founded koji, but it must not be so casual!

Lu Yi is a Han officer, and of course he knows the military law of the Han Dynasty. Zang Ba changed his identity and immediately gave Lu Yi a big problem.

The current battle situation, if one is not good, it will become "Koji attacks friendly forces for no reason". This crime, at worst, is equivalent to rebellion, and even if it is dealt with lightly, it is still a "mutiny".

Today's Luyi is in a critical period of his career. The old backer Wang Fen has fallen, and he has not yet found a new backer in the court. And the newcomer Jizhou Mu Hanfu is not the same as Wang Fen. Han Zhoumu's attitude towards Lu Yi is also ambiguous at present.

In case the current situation is used by Lu Yi's political enemies, his current "2,000 stone" lieutenant position will not be able to be kept!

INTERVIEWER Are you thinking too much?

The imperial court has always been on guard against the Tai March. If Lu Yi can win this battle cleanly, as long as there is no strong witness, who will avenge a group of "Taihang thieves"?

- Just in case......

Koji's worries, before they were fully considered, became a reality.

A chariot rushed down the avenue and slanted into the edge of the confrontation between the two armies. There was a man in the car, with a bronze seal and blue ribbon on his body, and shouted to the two armies:

"The two generals are both officials of the Han family, why are they 'brothers on the wall'? I am the county magistrate of the house [place name], and I am here to mediate the dispute between the two! If you have something to say, don't fight each other! ”

The bronze seal green ribbon is the official symbol of the middle and lower officials of the Han Dynasty. The county magistrate of the Han Dynasty, who ranged from 300 to 500 stones, is exactly the range indicated by the bronze seal and blue ribbon.

When the two armies were fighting, a big county magistrate suddenly came out, which really surprised both sides. Zang Ba didn't realize the problem inside, and Lu Yi, who had been in the officialdom for many years, quickly reacted to what the county magistrate was going to do.

The reason is very simple, if there is a vicious attack by the Han army in the county magistrate's office, this kind of thing will be spread, as the county order of the lord of a place, it will definitely be difficult to escape the blame. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if it is light, it will be disgraced from office, and if it is serious, it will be imprisoned and questioned.

Therefore, in any case, the county magistrate must also avoid a big fight between the two armies on his own territory. If Lu Yi insisted on attacking Tai Xingjun regardless of the obstruction, he was afraid that this brave county magistrate, in order to exonerate himself, would inevitably put all the responsibility on Lu Yi.

After figuring out these causal joints, Lu Yi was extremely angry in his heart, and couldn't help but roar, and thrust the horse lance in his hand into the ground. This blow, full of rage, plunged the horse lance two feet deep into the ground!

If the county magistrate who was inserted halfway was just a lonely person, Lu Yi would not have the idea of killing people and destroying his mouth and framing the Taixing army.

However, behind the magistrate's chariot, more than a dozen knights followed closely. Behind these knights, there were large and small light chariots, chariots, and more than a dozen. In every car, there are some people who are gorgeously dressed and obviously have a lot of status. In addition to the local gentry and power, Lu Yi couldn't think of any other identities for the people in the car.

And that's not all.

Behind the brigade vehicles were thousands of county soldiers and Ding Zhuang. Although the combat effectiveness of these county soldiers and Ding Zhuang is quite suspicious, after all, it is a large force. With the current state of fatigue of the Luyi tribe, it is really not possible to achieve the final victory in the battle under the attack of the county soldiers and Zang Ba.

Looking at these cars, the expressions trembling in those places were strong, and Lu Yi suddenly had no temper at all.

- The county magistrate of this house, doesn't it seem that he is still very powerful?

If the backer above Lu Yi is still there, if Jizhou Thorn Shi is still Wang Fen, he may not dare to fight. But today's Jizhou Assassin Han Fu obviously doesn't appreciate the former Assassin Shi cronies like Lu Yi. If the lawsuit comes to Han Fu, Han Fu is trying to clean up the shadow of "rebellion" left by his predecessor Wang Fen, and he is afraid that he will take advantage of the situation to win the official position of Lu Yi......

Lu Yi thought a lot at once, and directly made the change in the battle situation extremely dramatic.

When the bewildered Zang Ba realized that this battle would no longer be fought, Lu Yi had already reorganized his troops and turned around to collect his troops. Because of the anger in his heart, Lu Yi didn't have the slightest intention of going forward to talk to the county magistrate who had ruined his big business.

As a remnant of the Yellow Turban, Zang Ba certainly had no interest in coming forward to talk to the county magistrate. He had no intention of fighting Koji in the first place. At this moment, seeing that Lu Yi left angrily, Zang Ba hurriedly collected his troops and went on the road, running wildly towards the area of Taihang Mountain.

The magistrate of the house, who was the landlord, did not show the slightest hint of hospitality. He took with him thousands of county soldiers and Minzhuang, who had arrived one after another, and was very happy to send the two hostile armies out of his county jurisdiction.

As a result, a battle between the two powerhouses was invisibly resolved by the shrewd and capable county magistrate in the blink of an eye. The people and heroes of the house county were also very happy to avoid a military disaster.

What's more, the county magistrate who single-handedly planned this matter has a high reputation in the entire Jizhou, which will be of great help to his future development.

Zang Ba completely figured out the changes in this matter, or after returning to the base camp of Taihang Mountain and asking a year-old official of the Lucheng County Temple. Even so, for the county magistrate of the house who dared to stand up in time and prevent the outbreak of a big war between the two armies, Zang Ba's memory is also extremely profound.

The county magistrate of this house is heroic in appearance, crisp in action, and gives people the feeling of being extremely capable. Zang Ba clearly remembered that this person's surname was judged, his name was matched, and the word was due south.

According to the investigation, this person is actually not the official county magistrate of the house county, but a small official who was recruited by the minister of Changshan State, with a rank of 300 stones. coincided with the violent death of the county magistrate of the house, and the judge happened to come to the county to do business, and by the way, under the recommendation of the county Haoqiang, he temporarily acted as the county magistrate, and encountered this conflict between the two armies.

The twists and turns obtained in the post-investigation made Zang Ba feel a lot of emotion. A small magistrate in a mere county has such ability. I don't know how many similar discredited and powerful officials are there in the Han court?

The unfavorable news of Zang Ba's departure, accompanied by Jian Shuo's solicitation letter, arrived in Meiji County after the New Year. Zhang Mad read the two letters, did not say anything, just simply filed them, and then replied "Known, don't worry".

The new year is coming, and there are more and more important things waiting for Zhang Crazy to complete. (To be continued......)
