——Time goes back to two days ago, Niuzhu Taiping Military Camp Tent -

"Wei Zhuang, the matter of feints to attack the east camp of the Zhou army is a great responsibility, so I will leave it to you! - Do you have any questions? ”

Standing next to the table in the tent, the withered sheep pointed to the position on the east side of the last army's camp on the table and marched on the table, and said to Wei Zhuang with a pleasant face.

Glancing deeply at the withered sheep, Wei Zhuang chuckled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't ask any questions, Wei was just worried about his lack of ability, and he had disappointed the expectations of the withered sheep, and it was difficult to implement the handsome's clever plan......"

Hearing this, the withered sheep calmly looked back at the withered sheep, and also chuckled and said, "General Wei Zhuang is serious, General Wei is one of the most powerful generals of the commander-in-chief, how can it be a lack of ability?" ——This time, Xu Le and I agreed that the line should be combined with the outside, this commander thought that the Zhou army would inevitably be in love, and most of them would set up a heavy ambush in his camp, if General Wei could drag the ambush soldiers in the Zhou army camp according to the plan, he should be the first merit in this battle! ”

"What are the hours?"

"Half an hour!" The withered sheep replied calmly.

"Half an hour?" Wei Zhuang frowned imperceptibly, and Zhengse said, "What does the marshal mean is that Wei Mou only led 3,000 soldiers to drag down at least 20,000 ambushes in the Zhou military camp for half an hour?" - It's not easy! ”

"It's really not easy for ordinary people, but for General Wei Zhuang, it's not impossible, isn't it? - General Wei Zhuang is one of the five generals under Wu Shuai! Or does General Wei Zhuang feel that as a heavenly general, he will be forced to be sent by Wu Shuai, succumb to the command of this marshal, and he is indignant in his heart and refuses to contribute? ”

"......" seemed to hear something different, Wei Zhuang squinted his eyes and stared at the withered sheep, but after all, he was defeated by the withered sheep's unchanging eyes, and clenched his fists and said, "Yes, the last general will obey!" ”

Seeing Wei Zhuang's expression, the withered sheep smiled with satisfaction, turned his head and said to his henchman Wang Jian, "Wang Jian, when the war starts, you have to pay close attention to the movements of several Zhou soldiers, especially Liao Li, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, Ou Peng and other Zhou generals!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Jian nodded and took the order, and then asked in wonder, "Does the marshal really think that Zhou Bing will give our army a chance to take advantage of?" ——The last general did not intend to destroy himself, but the last general felt that he had the Dongling people as scouts to find out the news. When Lord Weizhuang attacked the eastern camp of the Zhou army, even if it was difficult for the Zhou soldiers to estimate the soldiers and horses under the command of Lord Weizhuang at first, with the help of the Dongling people, the Zhou army could know the truth in a moment. In this case, how could Liao Li, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, Ou Peng and other Zhou generals be lured by Lord Weizhuang? ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhuang also turned his head to look at the withered sheep, after all, what Wang Jian said was also something he had scruples about.

"It's easy!" Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, the withered sheep smiled and said, "According to Ben Shuai's guess, when our army and Na Xu Le carry out the so-called internal and external cooperation, the Zhou army will definitely set up a heavy ambush in the camp...... Are those ambushes for our army? ”

Glancing at Zhang Feng, Xu Chang asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?" - It will be difficult to comprehend! ”

Shaking his head, the withered sheep said, "Those ambush soldiers are just a cover!" - Ben Shuai can conclude that as long as General Wei Zhuang lures the Zhou army in the east camp of the Zhou army, it is not difficult to guess that the ambush soldiers in the Zhou army camp will pour out! ”

"Why is that?" Wei Zhuang couldn't help but ask.

Glancing at Wei Zhuang, the corners of the withered sheep's mouth raised a little inexplicable smile, and he said in a low voice, "Because the commander of the Zhou army, that is, the good brother-in-law of Ben Shuai, Xie An, he wants to make Ben Shuai attack his military camp without any scruples!" ”

may not have expected the withered sheep to blow up the relationship with Xie An, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army, and his henchmen Wang Jian, Zhang Feng, and Xu Chang were shocked, very nervous in their hearts, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Wei Zhuang. And Wei Zhuang was also shocked and opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, on the contrary, his expression was a little embarrassed.

"This ...... It's hard to understand! ——What does the marshal mean is that Xie An not only knows about our army and Xu Le, but also knows about our army's plan to attack the west? Under the surprised gaze of Wang Jian, Zhang Feng, and Xu Changsan, Wei Zhuang deliberately skipped the revelation that the withered sheep deliberately did.

Looking at Wei Zhuang deeply, and not knowing what was seen from the other party's expression, the withered sheep smiled faintly and explained, "Not bad! ——Xie An and Xie Wenyi are the commanders of the Southern Expedition Wang Shi respected by Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, but are they ordinary mediocre people? According to Ben Shuai's guess, not only did he clearly grasp Xu Le's every move, but he also knew everything about this person's secret affair with our army, but he also guessed that Ben Shuai would probably not listen to Xu Le's reckless man's strategy......"

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Interrupting the withered sheep's words with a stunned face, Wang Jian said dumbfounded, "Dashuai, the more I listen to it, the more confused I become, I feel ......"

As if he had seen through Wang Jian's thoughts, the withered sheep chuckled lightly and said in a deep voice, "As you think in your heart, Xie An wants to push the boat down the river, pretending not to know our army's strategy, and will plan it, but he is afraid that the marshal will take into account the number of Zhou soldiers in his barracks, and he will not dare to attack too deep because of this, so he will probably ask the ambush soldiers in the camp to take the initiative to leave, so that the marshal can rest assured...... Therefore, the ambush in the Zhou camp was just a cover, the purpose was to let our army know clearly how many troops of his Zhou army would follow General Wei Zhuang out of the camp...... Only if the Zhou soldiers left behind in the battalion are far less than the soldiers and horses under the command of this commander, this commander will take the bait! - This is Xie An's original intention! ”

"Actually...... Is there such a thing? Glancing at the withered sheep, Xu Chang touched his chin and said in disbelief, "It's not that the last general doesn't believe what the big marshal said, but the last general just thinks that it's necessary for Xie An to be so dangerous?" ”

The withered sheep was silent when he heard this, he knew very well that the reason why Xie An was so personally involved in the danger was not without the impact of that agreement. Just like Xie An's words, he hoped that the withered sheep would change his mind.

As the brother-in-law of Shang Shuling, the first-class criminal department of the court of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he was able to do this for his brother-in-law who had only seen only two sides, and I have to say that this made the withered sheep feel a little warm.

In addition to the warmth of his heart, the stubbornness and competitiveness in the heart of the withered sheep that belonged to the young people were also picked up by his brother-in-law Xie An. Moreover, this competitive spirit was maintained until he led the army into the Zhou army camp.

[Underestimated......]

Since hearing that the four generals of the Zhou army, Liao Li, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Ou Peng, each led about 5,000 ambush soldiers, deliberately chasing Wei Zhuang, the general under his withered sheep's tent, away from the Zhou camp, the withered sheep couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

Although he had already guessed the layout of his brother-in-law Xie An, he never expected that his brother-in-law would have such courage, in order to tempt him to take the bait, he did not hesitate to directly let his side temporarily reduce his staff by 20,000 people, leaving only less than seven or eight thousand Zhou soldiers to resist the 22,000 or so Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers under his withered sheep.

[That is, seven or eight thousand men alone are enough to defeat my withered sheep?] ]

As if vaguely aware of the vague meaning of his brother-in-law Xie An's layout, the withered sheep gritted his teeth hatefully, although he respected Xie An in his heart, he was also angry at this time, and he was bent on breaking through the garrison of the middle camp of the Zhou army as soon as possible and capturing the tent of the commander of the Zhou army.

It is good to be able to catch his brother-in-law Xie An, but even if he can't catch it, at least he won back the battle, and it greatly damaged the strength and morale of the Zhou army.

[So arrogant, don't regret it after losing!] ]

The withered sheep said secretly in his heart, as if he had won the final victory in this battle. It is no wonder that he is in the mood of victory, after all, when Xie An took the initiative to temporarily reduce his own strength by about 20,000 people, the troops under the command of the withered sheep showed a complete overwhelming advantage, and it was difficult to imagine that an army of more than 22,000 people would not be able to defeat an army of only a few seven or eight thousand people.

However, the cruel reality is that the withered sheep who are in a good mood are slapped in the mouth, the former Taiping Army's six god generals, Yuheng Shenjiang, with his excellent command ability and reasonable use of troops, as well as the outstanding combat ability of the Jizhou soldiers, under a design, with extremely small losses, defeated the 6,000-person vanguard army led by Zhang Feng and Xu Chang under the command of the withered sheep in one fell swoop, and directly called this 6,000-person vanguard army to lose as many as 4,000 people in less than a stick of incense. This is tantamount to giving the withered sheep and many Taiping generals who feel good about themselves a slap in the face.

No, the expression on the withered sheep's face suddenly sank.

You must know that at this moment, Qi Zhi is only five or six thousand soldiers, which is roughly equal to the strength of the vanguard of the Niuzhu Taiping Army led by Zhang Feng and Xu Chang, but as a result, the Jizhou soldiers under Qi Zhi only lost more than 100 people, on the other hand, the Niuzhu Taiping Army suffered more than 4,000 casualties.

[Don't think that Qi Mou once lost to His Royal Highness the Lord and despised Qi, juniors!] ]

It seemed that he had noticed the dumbfounded expressions of those Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers in the distance, although Qi Zhi was proud in his heart, but his face did not show half a point, he snorted coldly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Wei drink!" ”

"Wow——!!"

The five or six thousand Zhou soldiers under his command shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder in the nine days, and while boosting their morale, they only frightened the Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers, who were far superior to the Zhou soldiers.

"I'm in trouble now......" Looking at the united Zhou soldiers, the withered sheep muttered in a low voice.

Because in his opinion, maybe Zhou Bing still had some suspicion and suspicion about Qi Zhi before, but because the commander-in-chief Xie An trusted Qi Zhi, he didn't dare to show it, but since Qi Zhi won a beautiful battle and killed about 4,000 Niu Zhu Taiping troops in one fell swoop, how could the five or six thousand Zhou soldiers under his command still have the slightest suspicion and suspicion?

In other words, Qi Zhi at this moment is already a Zhou general who is respected and trusted by his subordinates, and there is no longer any estrangement between the former Taiping Army generals. And this means that if the withered sheep wants to defeat Qi Zhi, it will take some work.

[Shhhhhh No wonder Liu Qing and Chen Shuai once left this person near Jiangxia......]

Looking at the majestic Qi Zhi in the distance, the withered sheep secretly sighed in his heart.

In all fairness, to be favored by Liang Qiuhao, the third generation commander of the Taiping Army, a peerless fierce general who has almost no one to match for hundreds of years, how can the six gods be ordinary people? Thinking about it, Wu Heng aside, whether it is Fei Guo, Ji Hong, Geng Nan, or Qi Zhi and Yan Lei, who is the easy person?

Including Yan Lei's six god generals, if he wants to be favored by Liang Qiu Hao, he will definitely not be inferior to Qi Zhi, and besides, just looking at the fact that this person can lead 10,000 elite soldiers to rush all the way from Jingshan to the general under the noses of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Zhou Jun, it is known that this person is also a general who is good at long-range attacks. It's a pity that this god general was too unlucky, and he actually bumped into Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance.

You must know that Liang Qiu Wu is the first combat force of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although it is no match for his cousin Liang Qiu Hao, but the force is also among the top three in the world, Yan Lei still wants to live in her hands?

I have to say that compared to Yan Lei, who died unjustly, Qi Zhi's luck is obviously much better. It is not difficult to guess that after this battle, Qi Zhi's position in the Zhou army will obviously be more stable. Of course, the premise is that this battle is won, otherwise Qi Zhi will not have the face to accept Xie An's reward.

But then again, Qi Sik doesn't think he's going to lose.

After all, although the withered sheep is smart, he has much less experience in leading troops than him, and this is precisely the reason why he can stabilize the withered sheep.

Compared with Qi Zhi's calm and composure, the withered sheep is obviously much more anxious.

You must know that although Liao Li, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Ou Peng, the four generals under Xie An, seemed to have fallen into the scheme of diverting the tiger from the mountain in order to lure him to the bait, in fact, these people just ran seven or eight miles away and walked around and then came back. If the withered sheep could not defeat the remaining defenders in the Zhou camp and break through the commander's tent in the half an hour before these Zhou came and went, then the withered sheep and the more than 20,000 Niuzhu Taiping troops under his command would be surrounded by the four generals Liao Li, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Ou Peng.

To put it simply, Xie An and the withered sheep are like playing a game of speed and heartbeat, if they can't seize the opportunity, they will only be swallowed by the other party and annihilated.

Of course, the withered sheep can also choose to withdraw from the army, after all, there are only a few seven or eight thousand troops in the Zhou military camp at the moment.

But the question is, with the pride of the withered sheep, how could they choose to withdraw at such a time? You must know that Xie Anke let him have a full 20,000 troops, if he can't even win like this, then he might as well surrender directly, anyway, his surname is worry-free.

But if you don't retreat, how to solve the Qizhi in front of you?

I thought that this withered sheep would be smooth and smooth, but it really has a kind of meaning that it is difficult to ride a tiger at this time.

[Since it is difficult to compare the quality of the soldiers, then it is only dependent on the number of people!] ]

Thinking of this, the withered sheep waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "The army is pressing!" ——Zhang Feng entangled Qi Zhi, Xu Chang followed the team, and then the commander attacked the Chinese army commander's account! ”

I have to say that the withered sheep's reaction was really fast enough, and seeing that the time was not enough to defeat Qi Zhi, who was experienced in leading the troops, he immediately changed his tactics, after all, there were still nearly 20,000 soldiers under his command, and once they were dispersed, they would inevitably be able to make Qi Zhi take care of one and lose the other. As for Zhang Feng, although this person's martial arts and leading talent are not as good as Qi Zhi, as long as he does not go head-to-head with Qi Zhi, a slight loss of troops is still acceptable.

"Is that really the trick?"

Seeing that the withered sheep divided his troops into several branches, Qi Zhi sneered, raised his hand and said to the herald beside him, "Send a signal!" ”

"Yes!" The herald clenched his fists and ordered, and immediately shot three rockets into the sky.

On this dark moonless night at the end of April, these three rockets were like lights in the dark, even from a long distance.

"Huh?" The withered sheep glanced up at the three rockets that had been fired into the night sky.

And at this moment, there were several cannon shots from the depths of the Zhou military camp, and then the gongs and drums were loud, and it was vaguely seen that there were thousands of troops and horses from the depths of the dark camp to kill this side, and the deafening shouting of killing made all the Niuzhu Taiping soldiers tremble.

[What's going on?] It stands to reason that there are not many troops in the Zhou military camp! Could it be that the brother-in-law deceived and hid an army in addition to the 30,000 troops? ]

The withered sheep looked into the distance in disbelief, and then slowly shook his head, because he didn't think that Xie An would be the kind of person who didn't believe in his words.

Since this is the case, it is not difficult to guess the ambush soldiers of the Zhou army in the distance.

"Don't panic!" Immediately shouted, and the withered sheep looked back left and right and shouted, "That's just the weirdness of Zhou Jun's bluffing!" ——At this moment, in the Zhou military camp, there are only seven or eight thousand troops! ”

At this time, the Zhou army ambush in the distance also revealed the whole picture, it was the Zhou army generals Cheng Yang, E Yi, Dian Ying and others, thinking that they also knew that they couldn't hide the withered sheep, so the surname Suo directly killed.

Looking at the few so-called Zhou army ambushes with a few hundred people, the Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers calmed down. Among them, a thousand-strong general took the initiative to lead his subordinate Qu troops to respond, as if he wanted to break a small group of Zhou soldiers to boost his morale.

But alas, he picked the wrong opponent......

"Bang ——!"

There was a loud bang.

When the stunned withered sheep subconsciously turned his head to look, he was shocked to see that the thousand generals under his command, who were good at martial arts, actually flew upside down in mid-air for several feet, fell to the ground with a bang, and couldn't get up with a half-bang. After a closer look, the withered sheep noticed in horror that there was an extremely deep dent left on the armor on the man's chest, as if he had been knocked away by some blunt object similar to a gun stick.

Turning sharply into the distance, the withered sheep chuckled in his heart.

I saw that beside a bonfire in the distance, Di Bu, who had met him once, was slowly putting away the iron spear in his hand, which was more than twice as thick as the ordinary spear, and then picked up the tail end of the spear and swept it violently, but after hearing a few wails and screams, the Niuzhu Taiping sergeant who rushed to kill him turned on his back and fell to the ground in the clattering sound of broken bones, and then was trampled to death by the rebels.

[Oops...... I almost forgot that my brother-in-law still has a bunch of warriors under his command! - Wait, that's what you say......]

As if sensing something, the withered sheep looked around, and then he noticed that among the hundreds of Zhou army squads, there were obviously many guys who were more skilled than the ordinary Jizhou soldiers, and they were silently harvesting the surnames of the Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers under his command. The first to bear the brunt of a Zhou soldier dressed as a soldier is even more remarkable, each holding a long sword in both hands, in the chaos of the army as if walking in his own backyard garden, a sword to kill his withered sheep soldiers is like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, even if it is a Taiping sergeant at the level of a thousand generals, it can't stop this person's sword.

[Mo Fei!] ]

Under the opportunity of the four-eyed exchange, the withered sheep finally saw the so-called Zhou soldier whose martial arts were a few points stronger than Zhi Qi Zhi and other Zhou army generals, a young man who was not a few years older than him and quite handsome.

[Did it turn out that he was relying on his fierce generals, brother-in-law?] ]

The withered sheep's face gradually sank, because he had a premonition that in the face of the Zhou army, which had few troops but many fierce generals to shock the audience, although he had an absolute advantage in troops, he might not be able to win steadily.

To make matters worse, the half-hour deadline is getting closer...... (To be continued.) )
